Chapter 162 – Dragon Slayer (4)
Translator: Seven
Editor: Ana_Banana
-I would like to ask everyone to please give your support and encouragent for Isaac Ivanov to fully recover from his injuries. This concludes my ergency briefing.
As soon as Isaac Ivanov’s spokesperson’s briefing ended, a new video was imdiately broadcasted on TV.
-Hurry! Hurry! This is an ergency!
-Isaac isn’t breathing! Co quickly!
In the poor quality video, two n gently laid a blonde-haired man down while anxiously informing the surrounding personal about the urgent situation and performing ergency asures, including CPR.
Soon, a man in a white lab coat who appeared to be a doctor hurried over and assessed the situation before beckoning to the rest and shouting.
-Prepare for surgery imdiately!
That was the end of the video.
Only after the video ended did a news anchor appear to begin explaining what happened in the video.
-As you saw, Isaac Ivanov suffered fatal injuries during the battle with the Hatchling and is now receiving urgent dical care. According to the official reports, they have successfully managed to save his life, however, his injuries are so serious that he has yet to regain consciousness.
While watching the news report, Lee Jin-ah let out a shout of frustration.
“Dammit!”
As he said this word, Lee Jin-ah’s facial expression turned sour.
“Ah, dammit!”
After repeatedly saying this phrase, Lee Jin-ah bowed his head in despair.
“I should’ve done better…”
Lee Jin-ah’s voice sounded very depressed.
He sounded so serious that a person who heard it would feel the need to comfort him.
The man, who was sitting beside him silently this entire ti, finally spoke to Lee Jin-ah.
“Do you have a ntal illness?”
As Kim Woo-jin asked this, Lee Jin-ah frowned and asked back.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“Don’t you think I’m the one who should be asking ‘what the hell are you talking about?’?”
“I’m talking about that!”
As he said that, Lee Jin-ah pointed toward the report being played on the television with the caption ‘Isaac Ivanov critically injured’.
“Look, look how bad I am at acting.”
Kim Woo-jin stared at Lee Jin-ah with cold eyes.
However, even when he was being stared at in such a way, Lee Jin-ah did not stop talking.
“Dammit, my acting skills are so bad…I might need to go to acting school.”
-I can hear Lee Jin-ah’s bullshit from here. What’s going on?
Ignoring the depressed Lee Jin-ah, Kim Woo-jin returned his attention to his call with Oh Se-chan.
“Lee Jin-ah seems to suffer from ntal illness.”
-I knew there was sothing wrong with him. So he has a ntal illness. We’ll need to arrange for psychotherapy. Ah, more importantly, how are you doing?
“There are no problems.”
There were no signs of fatal injury anywhere on Kim Woo-jin who was comfortably making the call.
No, not to ntion injuries, there wasn’t even any sign of fatigue.
-So, how is the harvest from the dungeon?
[Dragon Slayer]
– Achievent Rank: Unique
– Effect: All stats 30
“Not bad.”
The harvest from the dungeon wasn’t particularly impressive.
“How about you?”
After confirming his own harvest, Kim Woo-jin gave a small smile and returned the question to Oh Se-chan.
Oh Se-chan also smiled before responding.
-A little salty.
It had been two days since Isaac Ivanov successfully cleared the Hatchling Dungeon with only three people.
The world was now filled with news about Isaac Ivanov.
The topics of these news articles were split between two things.
The first was the fact that Isaac Ivanov had exceeded everyone’s expectations and beco a Dragon Slayer.
The other was that Isaac Ivanov had suffered severe injuries and was currently in a coma.
-What makes it tastier is the fact that it’s fake consolation money.
Of course, the main piece of news was actually the fact that Isaac Ivanov had been injured in the dungeon.
More importantly, this was not so impulsive decision, but was instead a plan that had been developed even before they entered the dungeon.
There were many reasons for this decision.
-Although we didn’t accept any donations from the general public and only accepted those from the guilds, the amount is substantial.
First of all, it was profitable.
If Isaac Ivanov had cleared the dungeon without incident, no one in the world would feel sympathy for him.
However, if Isaac Ivanov, who had beco the world’s new Dragon Slayer, returned from the dungeon with severe injuries and in a coma, there wouldn’t just be sympathy, but instead trendous support from the entire world.
“What about the Top Five Guilds?”
-They haven’t said anything yet. But can those people who cried out through the dia that they would bravely hunt the Hatchling to avenge Isaac Ivanov get away with just sending so juice as a gift? They will have to send sothing big since they care about Isaac Ivanov so much.
Those who had professed their desire to avenge Isaac Ivanov in the dia would have no choice in the situation where Isaac Ivanov was alive, but ill.
They’d have to pay just as much as they did for their little publicity stunt.
-Everyone is so concerned about this situation that they’ve completely forgotten what you did.
Under such circumstances, it was natural for the fact that Isaac Ivanov had cleared the Hatchling dungeon, and the aning of such actions to fade.
This was the second reason for this act.
If Isaac Ivanov had simply successfully cleared the dungeon then their vigilance towards him would have risen to its peak.
But if it was a serious injury like this one, it was bound to grab everyone’s complete attention.
Isaac Ivanov was amazing, but he was lucky enough to even be alive.
In simple terms, they would be able to conceal his power.
“And the Bow God?”
-I’m trying to track his movents right now, but I haven’t been able to find anything yet. I’m sure he’ll use his greatest trump cards now.
Of course, the biggest reason for this plan was the Bow God, Noda Heijiro.
Then I guess we’ll have to sprinkle a little bait called Kim Woo-jin.
-That’s right.
The possibility that Kim Woo-jin might be Isaac Ivanov’s new teammate was then leaked to the Bow God.
When he was first faced with this situation, the Bow God must have had a lot of worries holding him back.
It was too risky to attack Kim Woo-jin who was in a team with none other than Isaac Ivanov.
Not only was it risky, but also the probability of success was incredibly low.
But what about now that Isaac Ivanov was critically injured and unconscious?
What if Kim Woo-jin was spotted alone in such a situation?
-Even if he suspects that the bait is poisoned, he will still bite it.
For the Bow God, even if he suspected that the bait was a trap, he would still grab the opportunity to bite it.
-So are you confident?
Of course, this was why they believed that the Bow God would use his most powerful trump card at the first opportunity, regardless of if there was a crowd of people around or not.
Kim Woo-jin answered Oh Se-chan’s concerns calmly.
“Fortunately, the harvest wasn’t too bad this ti, so there shouldn’t be any problems as long as it’s a 3 Floor dungeon.”
-Isn’t it too dangerous though?
In response to Oh Se-chan’s repeated questions, Kim Woo-jin turned to glance beside him for a mont before saying.
“Don’t worry too much. I’m not alone this ti.”
At that mont, Lee Jin-ah who was practicing his acting while looking at the TV suddenly felt a shiver go down his spine.
At that, Kim Woo-jin smiled slightly and prepared to end the conversation.
“Then let’s do this properly. First, set up a workshop for , I want to make a few pieces of Dragon Skin armor.”
-Okay.
“And I hope you can get so gastric juice from a Golden Dragon(1).”
-Golden Dragon’s gastric juices?
When Oh Se-chan asked that question, Kim Woo-jin looked at an item that was laying in his inventory.
[Cursed Sword]
– Rating: Unique
– Physical Attack: 10
– Required Level: Level 1 or Higher
– Description: A sealed sword with unknown power. It seems to be of no use.
‘The Ganjang(2) is now in my hand.’
Ganjang.
The mory of the first ti he encountered this weapon ca to Kim Woo-jin’s mind.
It wasn’t a very good mory.
‘It was this sword that cut off my arm.’
The first ti he encountered the Ganjang, Kim Woo-jin had the horrible experience of having his arm cut off.
Of course, the one who cut off his arm also had his head cut off in exchange.
‘After that, it was given to Lee Se-jun.’
Lee Se-jun then beca the owner of the then ownerless weapon and the Ganjang beca one of the trademarks of Lee Se-jun.
At the sa ti, Kim Woo-jin was given an order.
‘I wandered the world in search of the Makya(2.5).’
To find the other half of the Ganjang pair, the Makya.
‘It’s a pity that I don’t know where the Makya is.’
However, despite utilizing their resources to search around the world, neither Kim Woo-jin nor the ssiah Guild were able to find the Makya.
Of course, Kim Woo-jin wasn’t too disappointed by that fact.
-It won’t be easy to get. The Dragon Slayer is probably the only one who has any right now, and he rarely sells it. The fact that I was able to get so back then is amazing.
“It doesn’t matter if you take a bit of ti to get it. That’s not too important right now.”
After all, the Makya wasn’t his target right now.
“I want you to pay attention to the stage for now.”
-I’ll keep that in mind.
…
After the world beca a ga, it was obviously China who exerted the greatest influence in all of Asia.
The population that could not be compared and the leadership that stemd from the one party dictatorship was not sothing that other countries could imitate.
The next country that grew in influence was Korea, and the reason for that was the fact that the ssiah Guild had started there.
Naturally, Japan’s influence fell to third place.
This caused the Japanese to feel a sense of inferiority and anger that was beyond description. At the sa ti, Japan felt a trendous level of crisis.
They feared that if the situation continued to progress, they might end up trapped on the island and the fear began to overtake the country.
This was how the Yamato Federation ca into being.
Under its will, Japan created a grand plan to escape its physical limitations.
And at the center of this plan, were the two strongest players in Japan, the Sword Saint, and the Bow God.
Of course, externally, the relationship between the two wasn’t good.
The Sword Saint was a player who represented Japan, while the Bow God seed to represent the ssiah Guild.
They did not et each other often, and it was also rumored that they had a terrible relationship.
“Long ti no see.”
“I thought you promised not to show your face until the end of your little rebellion?”
But all of that was an act.
The two of them were closer than any other player could imagine.
“I need your disciple’s strength to get my revenge.”
“You an for that guy nad Kim Woo-jin?”
To the extent that they had a perfect grasp of each other’s situations.
“I’ve prepared so bait to lure him into a dungeon, but I don’t have a good enough hunter who can definitely get him.”
“Is a good hunter the only thing you need?”
“And I need equipnt. We’re going to need at least a legendary item to successfully catch him. But we shouldn’t use our own, because there is still a risk of failure.”
Therefore, the conversation between the two of them wasn’t long.
“Sword Saint, lend that sword you have never used before.”
Bow God asked and the Sword Saint agreed without even thinking about it.
“I’ll give you the Makya.”
And the conversation ended just like that.
(Note:
1. For those of you who don’t rember, Golden Dragon’s gastric juices first appeared in Chapter 47 and was used to remove the curse from the Stone Necklace which beca the skill page for Eye of Horus. You can browse through it to refresh your mory if you like.
Ah…how I miss those days…everything felt…shorter…*sigh*
2-2.5. Brief look into the horrific life of a translator. Ganjang and Makya are weapons from a ga called Dungeon Fighter Online, and can be considered Yin(Makya) and Yang(Ganjang) while wielding the properties of said energy, i.e. water and fire. They were made by a famous blacksmith nad Ganjang and were nad after himself and his wife.
Now the tricky thing about this is the fact that Ganjang(??) is Soy Sauce in Korean, so even when I was unsure why the author wanted Kim Woo-jin to hold soy sauce, it was not easy for to find another translation of the word since even googling the word ‘ganjang’ would show you soy sauce. So it took a pretty long ti before I managed to find what it actually was. Not that interesting, but I thought I’d share.
Tbh…I don’t like how easy it is for Woo-jin to get the items he needs…)
