Episode 584 Original (1)
A single-person crack that opens when you touch a stone statue.
All explorers, officers, wizards, and explorers of the Expeditionary Force unanimously agreed on this phenonon.
all stone statues.
Or, when you activate a certain number of stone statues, it is highly likely that the tightly closed stone gate will open and you can move on to the next step.
Of course, I also agreed with that opinion.
So, after clearing the green coal mine, I experinted with various things for a while.
Try reopening the rift you cleared once.
Also check if soone who has already cleared can enter the sa rift again.
Watching when an open portal disappears, etc.
The attack stopped for a while, and the research continued.
Ti was never wasted.
Aren’t other gas like that?
In order to do well, you need to know quickly the judgnt between the characteristics and skills of the enemy character with the activation condition.
‘Okay, I’ll figure it out soon.’
As the research progressed, a lot of information was gathered.
The portal closes after 10 minutes if no one enters, and the portal cannot be opened while soone is entering.
Excluding those things and summarizing only the important ones, I was able to pick out five major ones.
1. The statue works at least seven tis.
I said at least seven tis because there were only seven samples.
A total of seven people, including myself, have already cleared the green coal mine, but the stone statue is still creating portals whenever I touch it
…
Next at this point.
2. Guardians are guaranteed to drop essence.
However, it does not drop anything other than integers.
Based on that, not a single crack stone number item was dropped out of seven attempts.
Well, as the probability is mixed, more samples must be collected to be sure.
anyway.
3. When the crack is cleared, a red light cos on in the engraved part of the stone gate that is closed.
Oh, I don’t think this is a duplicate either.
The light ca on only once when I cleared it for the first ti. In other words, to turn on all the remaining lights, clear all those statues.
4. When activated, two portals open on the highest difficulty level, the 5th floor Guardian Statue.
This was the information I was able to confirm after learning that there is no limit on the number of tis the statue can be activated and that the opened portal will close after 10 minutes.
The 5th floor crack has two portals.
Simply put, two people can enter.
In other words, everything below the 4th floor is for one person, so it ans that you must break it alone.
Anyway, finally…
5. Even if you enter the portal with a lot of buffs, everything is unlocked when you enter.
Since this trick was also blocked, only those who really have the specs can clear the rift.
It couldn’t have been a pretty daunting task for .
Because [Dungeon and Stone] wasn’t a ga where you got matchless just because you leveled up and ate a lot of good essences.
I am proud to have risen to the ranks of the world’s strongest, but I still have difficult enemies.
‘…Still, two people can enter, so how can I do that?’
Although it is a field with a concept of cracks for one person, there were no entry restrictions on entering this stone chamber.
Thanks to that, we were able to lead hundreds of people inside.
And as each one of them is an elite, you should choose the explorer with the best match and put them in.
‘Let’s start… once.’
It was ti to start attacking in earnest.
***
Unlike normal cracks, it didn’t take long to finish the early part as the boss room ca out after a short walk from the entrance.
Blatter, the cursed knight of Blood Citadel.
Tarunbas, the tyrant of the Glacier Cave.
Ildium, the iron man of the Iron Tomb.
All of them finished the raid in an instant, and all three dropped essence.
Well, now that I’ve co, I haven’t had a chance to eat them.
Still, it wasn’t without inco.
「Guardian defeat bonus. EXP 3”
“Guardian defeat bonus. EXP 3”
“Guardian defeat bonus. EXP 3”
After catching it several tis, I beca convinced, but the guardian bonus cos in here as well.
But…
‘Sorry.’
Once you clear a rift, you cannot re-enter it.
Even if soone else opens the portal, they just pass through the portal and co forward.
‘If it wasn’t for that, I would have copied the experience.’
It’s a part that I regret not being able to do, but I decided to think positively. Excluding the ones I couldn’t catch here, how much experience would I get if I caught the rest?
Maybe this one is more helpful to than the absurd integer.
‘There are quite a few Guardians I haven’t caught yet.’
If you combine the first subjugation experience you get there, you can theoretically get 200 experience points with this attack alone.
However, I wonder if other explorers had similar thoughts.
Now, as I was about to move on to the second floor Guardians, soone approached .
“Maybe… can I try it too?”
“His na is…”
“This is Miles Humbreak. Baron.”
Oh yes.
I rember him not because he was a knight, but because he was an explorer who was called and recruited into the exploration force.
Co to think of it, there were quite a few explorers like this in the exploration force…
“In the case of the 1st floor rift, except for the Crimson Fort, the Guardians haven’t made any achievents yet. If you’ll let —”
“Get permission from the Count, not from .”
“The Count said it wouldn’t matter if the Baron allowed it.”
It seed that the village chief was trying to thoroughly act as the chief of pants here as well.
“Hmm…”
What should I do?
If you send it away for no reason and die, the power will only decrease.
After thinking about it for a while, the boy spoke earnestly.
“I understand the Baron’s concerns. I must be anxious about trying to enter a place where there is no reason to enter anymore.”
“…”
“But don’t worry. Even though I’m a guardian, I’m not weak enough to lose to a level 7 monster at most.”
“There are conditions before permission.”
“Conditions… are you saying?”
Looking at the explorer with a serious expression, I smiled.
“What are you nervous about? Before going in, go to the mages and hear about the Guardians so you know them perfectly. That is my condition.”
“…yes? Oh I see! thank you! Thank you very much!”
The explorer left with an expression that was moved by my words, perhaps because he knew there would be a different request.
only i didn’t know
Why do the judges precede precedent and take off the crane?
“Hey… Baron?”
“I wonder if I can try it too…”
Starting with him, the other guys who were paying attention also approached .
‘Huh… He gave permission in front of , but they can’t not…’ It
was too much trouble to answer every single one, so I ended up entrusting it to Raven.
“Whether you can take on the challenge or not, go over there… Arua Raven and ask. If Raven allows it, I will.”
“yes? Why am I out of there all of a sudden?”
“Aren’t you quick about cracks?”
“Don’t lie. It’s just annoying that I wouldn’t know that—”
That’s why these quick-witted guys are.
I hurriedly cut off my words and spoke firmly.
“It’s not botherso.”
“…?”
“Because I can trust you.”
It wasn’t really wrong.
There are many wizards who will do the work even if it is not him, but none are as ticulous as this one.
Besides, I’m weak against such complints.
“Haa…”
Raven let out a sigh but nodded helplessly.
“…I will select and send only those who will surely be able to return alive. OK?”
yeah i knew it
Even though I took on the troubleso task, seeing the sense of responsibility in my eyes, I don’t have to worry about this part in the future.
That was when I was thinking about it.
“Yandel.”
Alia calls .
What are you trying to say by standing next to Raven and seeing if you’re worthy of the challenge?
Given the timing, that seed likely.
But…
“Maybe… can I try…?”
Unusually, Alia’s question was very different from what I expected.
“what…?”
“Keuhmm Hmm… If the achievent of defeating the Guardian cos in, isn’t it a pity to miss the opportunity like this? In fact, I think that not only , but all other mbers should enter at least once.”
Seeing my staring gaze, Alia coughed as if she was embarrassed, but then expressed her opinion in a logical manner.
It was just a story that was hard to ignore.
‘Hmm… Surely that side is reasonable, right?’
The worry didn’t last long.
“good night. Do it. Only up to the third floor.”
“i get it. then get ready Even if the others don’t know, I think I’ll have to prepare well before putting Einar Pnellin in.”
“I’ll leave that part up to you.”
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about going into the cracks alone without , but I can’t always take care of her like a baby bird.
So let’s just believe
Alia Einar Erwen Mischa.
All four will do it comfortably up to the third floor.
‘Sohow, I took a long break.’
While watching the explorers receiving a special lecture on rift guardians in front of Raven, I looked over the stone statues I hadn’t conquered yet.
Eight rift guardians on the second floor.
On the third floor, there is one knight of the end of the White Temple.
‘The 4th floor is two….’
In the case of the 5th floor, a total of 12 species, including unique cracks.
And…
‘There are 14 unidentified guardians, including Cambormire.’
If you add the four guardians on the first floor, there are a total of forty one.
‘Because I caught four of these…’
The calculation cos out that you have to catch 37 kinds of guardians in the future.
‘…Let’s solve the easy things first.’
But there’s no ti limit here, right?
Sothing like having to catch them all within a few days…

「Guardian kill bonus. EXP 3”

“Guardian defeat bonus. EXP 3”
“Guardian defeat bonus. EXP 3”
「Kill the Guardians…」

When I ca out after killing all 8 Guardians on the 2nd floor, the surroundings were quite ssy.
First of all, it seed like they were welcoming saying that I had worked hard… but,
“The record? How many records are there?”
“Three minutes and twenty-seven seconds!”
So of them check the ti as soon as they see from afar and are diligently jotting down sothing in their notebooks.
Co to think of it, I think I was like that before.
“What are you writing down?”
“…I was just recording the ti it took for the Baron to grab the Guardian and get out.”
For so reason, displeasure blood in that answer.
I feel like a racehorse on a racetrack.
“Could it be that you were betting on ?”
When asked with a serious expression, the wizard freaked out and started shaking his hands.
“That can’t be! Absolutely not. Just… just out of curiosity… not just the baron, everyone else was recording.”
Hmm, if that’s the case, I’m a bit angry.
“Because that… data is important…”
A wizard who does not keep a diary is not a wizard.
I knew what a wizard’s record instinct was like in a world where there was such a saying, so I just passed on without craving more.
‘Misha and Erwen are attacking… Is Alia taking classes?’
As I sat and rested for a while to organize my thoughts, a portal opened and the explorer who challenged the glacier den returned.
And…
“How long did it take?”
As soon as I got back, I imdiately asked soone.
“Let’s co at 1 minute and 24 seconds.”
When the recording wizard answered in a businesslike voice, the explorer asked again.
For so reason, with an angry look.
“Then what rank are you?”
“Let’s co in third place.”
After hearing the answer, the explorer looked around with regret and sent a whisper to the wizard.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t hear it…
“Bjorn Yandel asks how many seconds it took.”
When I woke up, Alia was by my side.
I’m sure I saw you listening to Raven’s special lecture just a little while ago…
Did you get out after seeing ?
It doesn’t matter.
“Hmmm, that’s right. Got it. Thank you for telling .”
The explorer, who had heard sothing whispered in the wizard’s ear, moved to Raven’s special lecture room with a proud face as if he had regretted it.
“Do you want to know what the wizard answered?”
“No, not really.”
“Three minutes and twenty-seven seconds.”
“…If you’re going to tell anyway, why did you ask?”
It was a bit absurd, but I didn’t feel particularly embarrassed or embarrassed by the record.
Because I can’t be good if I want to have a good record.
In the first place, I walked slowly down the aisle each ti and even analyzed to see if anything had changed.
‘Well… even if I did my best, I don’t think I would have been faster than them.’
It looks like they were competing with each other, but it’s just unfair for to be involved.
What’s so boastful about catching it faster than the tanker?
It’s just pathetic—.
“For reference, I was 47 seconds.”
“…huh?”
“…and also number one.”
“Ah…”
Is it because the bean pods are covered?
Now that I see it, it’s not pathetic, but rather cute…
“…Are you leaving already?”
“Because I rested enough.”
After a short break, Alia tilted her head as she stood in front of the statue of the new guardian.
“Isn’t it the Knight of the End?”
I am now standing in front of the statue of Camborre, the guardian of vampires.
It was for a simple reason.
“Now it’s ti to check out what the unidentified guardians are like.”
“I see…”
Alia nodded, but said nothing.
I know it myself.
That a vampire is no threat to .
“Be careful though. Got it?”
“I get it. Then don’t go.”
A portal entered while receiving Alia’s send-off.
The feeling of floating continued for a while, and at the sa ti as I recognized that the movent had ended.
Tadat.
I ran forward.
Because checking the terrain is sothing that can be done while running.
Brick walls reminiscent of a dieval castle.
Candlesticks lit along the walls.
Old blood stains on the floor.
The point where I woke up was similar to, but different from, the final chapter of Bloody Citadel, the Devil Worship Room.
It wasn’t a ‘ㅁ’-shaped structure, it was just a straight line.
Tada da dot.
Run with all your might towards the boss room in front of you and pass through the hallway.
I was human too, so I couldn’t help it.
I don’t want to obsess over the record…
but it was a no-brainer to be soone’s comfort in that way. So, if nothing special, this ti I was going to kill the guardian as quickly as possible and co out.
But…
Kwaaaang-!
I had no choice but to withdraw my plan as I watched the vampire wake up at the sound of a door kicking in.
“It’s strange, really strange…”
The vampire looked at with sleepy eyes and was talking.
“…Have you and I ever t?”
