[The vestige of the Monkey King is wary of the intruders. It attempts a curse on the party.]
[Curse: Fear has been attempted.]
[It has failed.]
[Curse: Confusion has been attempted.]
[It has failed.]
[Curse: Addition has been attempted.]
..
ssages that popped up the mont they entered the dungeon.
They all had dreary faces trying to endure the vestige of the powerful Monkey King.
There wasnt a limit on the attempts of curses, and if this kept up, they would be in real trouble.
Victoria waved her hand in the air. Then, a light appeared and slowly pushed away the dark energy crowding around them.
[Since the Monkey King has been sealed for over hundreds of years, his vestige is strong. Everyone focus.]
His strong existence had a mind of its own, and continued to contaminate its surroundings with its vestige.
His vestige could only be strong, since he was once a being that battled with the heavens.
And misfortune gave rise to larger misfortune.
The Monkey Kings vestige considered Yeon-woos party prey, and tried to pollute them with its color.
As much as the pathways to their consciousness were open, the vestige was trying to enter them.
If you didnt have the ability to use a skill like Open Speaking, you wouldve died already.
Victoria managed to block the vestiges entrance using her magic.
But from what Yeon-woo saw, it was only a temporary solution.
And that wasnt the only problem.
[Is this the right way?]
[I think so. For now.]
Rebecca asked Victoria this several tis and confird again and again.
Their movents were restricted because sothing might suddenly pop up.
Just like how they werent able to search anything from the outside, it was the sa inside.
No matter how much they tossed their consciousness over, the vestige of the Monkey King blocked it.
Eventually they were in the sa state as when they first entered the 5th mountain, with all their senses blocked off.
Thankfully, they knew the environnt they were in, but this didnt really help at all.
Then, a ghostish sound ca from inside. It mightve been simply wind, but it was clear, like the vestige was crying.
Even if their hearing was closed, they felt as if they could really hear it.
Rebecca clenched her teeth. The sa thoughts repeated in her head.
Could they really enter like that? They still had a while to arrive where the last signal Kindred had sent was coming from.
Even the entrance was this hard, just how hard would it be inside?
At first, she had been suspicious, but now she thought that it was weird for Kindred to have died. This place might be their graves as well.
Her god, Cernnunos, had told her to judge between situations where she should step up or step back. Rebeccas judgent told her to step back.
But her feet didnt move towards the entrance.bender
The inheritance of the Monkey King. The treasures that made a simple monkey into sothing great was inside there sowhere. The Magic Stick and the 72 Arts kept on popping up in her mind.
Fine. Lets just try it. What could happen? Kindred was alone, but Im different. If sothing happensI can leave them, or use this escaping scroll.
And the skill that Cernnunos had given her was outstanding. God Wit. With this, she could leave anyti she was in danger.
No, she convinced herself she could pull herself out.
And it wasnt just her who thought this, but also the others.
They all looked like moths flying in the light, knowing they were in danger.
***
Yeon-woo slowly moved and observed his party.
From the continued attack from the Martial King, Rebecca sohow resisted using her skill, and Victoria continued to put up her defenses with her magic.
But from what Yeon-woo saw, they were making a big mistake.
They wont last long that way.
He couldnt tell the exact details, but Rebecca was using a significant amount of magic. And Victorias runes were almost running out.
If they kept that up, by the ti they got to the center of the dungeon, they would be exhausted.
On the other hand, Kahn was different.
He didnt use a particular skill. Instead, he didnt spread his consciousness wide and focused it around him to block off the vestige.
Since the person said to be weakest of the three was defending himself best, Yeon-woo laughed.
Victoria and Rebecca seed to have forgotten the basics during their long training.
The strength of a god and comfortable rune magic. If they had only been researching these do, they wouldnt have found any dangers.
Even though the basics were the most important.
But..what was this guy trying to say?
Yeon-woo looked at Kahns expression. He still couldnt tell what he was thinking. And even when he said sothing, there was no reply. Like he was focusing hard on sothing.
Eventually, Yeon-woo turned away from Kahn. He would speak when it was ti. It seed like it wasnt ti yet.
Instead, he spread out the territory of his Extrasensory Perception and looked at his environnt.
Yeon-woo comparatively had it easier than his struggling party.
[The Monkey Kings vestige is attempting curses through contamination.]
[Curse: Mind Contamination has been attempted.]
[Curse: Negativity Contamination has been attempted.]
[Curse: Suicidal Urge has been attempted.]
[You are in a stunned state.]
[You are able to maintain your composure with the trait Cold Blooded.]
[You are released from the stunned state. You have gained resistance to Mind Contamination.]
[You have gained resistance to Negativity Contamination.]
[You have gained resistance to Suicidal Urge.]
..
[You have gained an outstanding resistance to ntal attacks with the trait Cold Blooded.]
[A sturdy ntal wall has been built. You are becoming free from the Monkey Kings vestige.]
[The vestige of the Monkey King is completely flustered.]
Trait, Cold Blooded.
A power that allowed him to calm no matter the situation.
This trait that Yeon-woo received when he beca a player helped Yeon-woo out several tis.
In critical situations, it gave him the motivation to continue, and he gained strong resistance and immunity with this.
His Ti Difference was from this, and the resistance to several properties were from this as well.
lightsvl m And as Yeon-woo progressed, he didnt need this skill for a while, but now it was activated again.
So Yeon-woo was happy he was able to train his trait. At first, he struggled, like his party, but as ti went on and he beca free from the vestige, he was able to calmly move.
The Yeon-woo tried thods to widen his range.
The territory he could observe was only within 5 ters. He needed to widen this.
Yeon-woo activated his Ti Difference and carefully observed the Monkey Kings vestige.
In a way, it was like hail. A strong hail that stord down from the inside. It was a form that spread out to its sides.
Yeon-woo focused on this characteristic.
I cant press down the vestige right now. Then I need to slowly pass by it and widen my range.
Yeon-woo began to combine his consciousness that was spread all over. And he pointed its end like a thorn and pierced the Monkey Kings vestige.
At first, he didnt see how, because it was hard as a rock, but he was able to find its weakness after several tis and tunneled into it.
The vestige kept on trying to enter through his consciousness, but he was easily able to flick it off with his trait. Yeon-woo instantly widened his range.
[You have learned the thod of using your consciousness in small amounts. You have learned how to protect your mind from outer attacks and pushing away curses.]
[The proficiency of the skill Extrasensory Perception has dramatically increased.]
Yeon-woo was able to feel his head clear up.
His consciousness ripped past the vestige and touched the ceiling of the cave, and information flew into his head. His Extrasensory Perception blood.
And as Yeon-woo continued to widen his range, he was able to push the Monkey Kings vestige away slowly.
[Huh?]
[Hm?]
[Whats this?]
The other 3 were taken aback at being able to rest from the restless attacks of the vestige.
And there gazes whipped to Yeon-woo. They realized that this was because of Yeon-woo.
Their faces were shocked. Especially Rebeccas face was full of distrust. Since a player from the lower floors had done sothing a high ranker wasnt able to do.
[Its only because I have a skill thats perfect for this. Anymore than this is hard for as well.]
The 3 had unbelieving faces at Yeon-woos la excuse, but just skipped over it. They needed to search the dungeon right now.
Thanks to Yeon-woo, Victoria and Rebecca were able to freely use their skills and move faster.
anwhile, Yeon-woo widened his range to where even they couldnt see, and collected the set up of the dungeon inside his head.
The dungeon is a complicated maze format. Its twisted like a spiderweb. Even if we turn back now..I cant even see the entrance anymore.
The dungeon was twisted underground like a spiderweb, complicatedly. They would need to spend so ti looking for the way.
He couldnt see it yet, but there were traps set up in places, and there were also so ghoul type monsters created from the vestige.
Yeon-woo related his collection and sent all his Monster Portents out. It was so his Monster Portents could enjoy a quick snack while they unlocked the traps.
He didnt know what danger would co, but he could trust his Monster Portents since he could reach them within his range.
And more than anything, he didnt want to be bothered by useless things.
[The Monster Portent Chan has gotten rid of Little Demon98. He has used the superior skill Predation to absorb the soul.]
[The Monster Portent Ka has gotten rid of Race13. He has used the superior skill Absorb to absorb the soul.]
[Ghost71 has been taken care of.]
..
[The traps are being unlocked at a rapid pace. 45% of the maze has been deciphered. The dungeon is being subjugated at a quick speed.]
Creepy sounds continued to co from the inside, but his party thought they were just sounds from the vestige and didnt think too much of it.
Not knowing that obstacles were being taken care of deep inside.
While he was quickly understanding the dungeon, Yeon-woo realized that sothing was strange.
From so ti, he saw strange marks on the ceiling and the walls.
