The Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices – 175

EP.175 Production of Top-Grade Magic Potions (1)

Yoon Tae-kyung anxiously glanced at his watch.

It had already been an hour since Advisor Lee Kang-hyun entered the Stone Golem dungeon.

‘If he hasn’t co out by now, is he dead?’

As far as he was concerned, he hoped Lee Kang-hyun had died inside the dungeon.

That way, he could kick Team Leader Jung Ye-rin out of the guild and take that position for himself.

He had already finished discussing it with the Vice Guild Master.

‘Well, even if he was hiding sowhere, it’s strange that he hasn’t co out for an hour.’

In Yoon Tae-kyung’s mind, there wasn’t even an option for Advisor Lee Kang-hyun to conquer the dungeon.

After all, the Stone Golem dungeon assigned to Jung Ye-rin’s team wasn’t a normal dungeon.

The Vice Guild Master’s direct scouting team had confird that this dungeon contained a massive number of golems.

It wasn’t for nothing that the dungeon was nad the Tomb of Stones.

It was a place where casualties were inevitable even if the entire team rushed in.

And Lee Kang-hyun’s specialty was Necromancer, a class that could only summon skeletons at best.

‘Heh, trying to hold out with skeletons in a dungeon full of golems?’

Stone Golems are, as the na suggests, monsters made of stone.

Even if he summoned many skeletons, it would be difficult to defeat even one golem.

What could he possibly do by summoning skeletons that only swing swords?

The smile on Yoon Tae-kyung’s face grew deeper.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter if he’s alive.’

Even if Lee Kang-hyun was lucky enough to hide inside the dungeon and co out, there were plenty of ways to attack him.

If he were just a regular guild mber, it might be different, but Lee Kang-hyun holds the position of advisor for a team.

If he can’t even demonstrate this level of skill, what’s the point of being an advisor?

As Yoon Tae-kyung was rejoicing at the thought of achieving his goal no matter what, he heard a commotion.

The team mbers waiting at the dungeon entrance were cheering loudly.

Turning his head towards the dungeon, he saw Lee Kang-hyun walking out with his summons.

He even put on a show of smiling leisurely and waving his hand.

“…Huh?”

Jung Ye-rin let out a sigh of relief and ran to greet Lee Kang-hyun.

“You’ve returned safely!”

The team mbers’ warm welco followed.

“Thank goodness you’re back, Advisor!”

Unlike everyone else who wore welcoming expressions, Yoon Tae-kyung tilted his head.

‘Has he finally given up?’

But he had an ominous feeling.

Advisor Lee Kang-hyun’s expression was far too bright to be that of soone who failed to conquer the dungeon.

Moreover, if he had given up, it wouldn’t have been strange for him to co out much earlier, but he only reappeared after nearly an hour in the dungeon.

‘He must have given up, right?’

The ti was far too short for him to have conquered it.

‘Yeah, he probably wanted to show that he tried his best.’

He must have been hiding sowhere and then appeared.

Otherwise, his appearance being so neat didn’t make sense.

If he had engaged in fierce battles, it would have shown on the outside, but there was no sign of that at all.

Yoon Tae-kyung gritted his teeth and approached Lee Kang-hyun. With a face that didn’t hide his mockery, he spoke.

“You’re back already? Isn’t that giving up too quickly for an advisor?”

It was clearly sarcasm, obvious to anyone.

“Well, it must have been hard coming out without showing any skills.”

This would be the start of team mbers gradually questioning Advisor Lee Kang-hyun’s abilities.

Originally, a small crack is all it takes for a dam to collapse.

But Lee Kang-hyun stared straight at Yoon Tae-kyung and opened his mouth.

“Give up?”

There was a confident smile on his lips.

“I cleared it all. Dungeon conquest complete.”

“What?”

Yoon Tae-kyung couldn’t help but ask again.

He doubted his ears, wondering if he had misheard.

‘What did he say?’

He cleared it already?

No, this didn’t make sense.

Even Jung Ye-rin wore a puzzled expression.

“K-Kang-hyun, really?”

That was the normal reaction one should have.

Yoon Tae-kyung provoked him to regain control of the current situation.

“Haha, I didn’t know you were such a funny person. Even making jokes like this.”

It must surely be a lie.

He probably intended to smooth over the current situation by cracking a joke.

“Does it make sense that you defeated all the Stone Golems in just an hour?”

However, Lee Kang-hyun’s expression didn’t change despite Yoon Tae-kyung’s question.

“It’s true. Let’s check it directly. I’ve dealt with all the Stone Golems, so you can just go in.”

Then, he pulled out a stone fragnt from his pocket.

It was a piece of a Stone Golem.

“That’s impossible.”

Wanting to confirm, Yoon Tae-kyung quickly entered the dungeon.

He would have preferred it to be a lie, but Lee Kang-hyun’s words were true.

“Th-this was real?!”

There were no monsters left in the dungeon.

Only the brutally shattered remains of Stone Golems lay on top of the stone graves.

‘No…’

Yoon Tae-kyung sank into despair as he looked at the remains.

The fact that Lee Kang-hyun’s power was stronger than expected, and that his attempt to bring down Jung Ye-rin had instead helped her build up achievents.

Golem stone fragnts are highly sought-after materials.

Not only are they valuable as construction materials, but they can also greatly enhance the effectiveness of item crafting and even potions.

“Wow, you really dealt with all the Stone Golems!”

Jung Ye-rin and the team mbers who entered after exclaid in admiration as they surveyed the dungeon.

“……”

The more they praised, the more Yoon Tae-kyung’s expression soured.

But his expression lightened at the next words.

“Then, with our advisor, couldn’t we easily clear the Minotaur dungeon too?”

Another dungeon assigned to the team, the presud B-rank Minotaur dungeon.

This too was the Vice Guild Master’s handiwork.

‘Right, it’s not over yet.’

A dungeon with a maze so complex that even the Vice Guild Master couldn’t figure it out.

Could Jung Ye-rin conquer such a place?

Anticipating Jung Ye-rin’s downfall at that ti, Yoon Tae-kyung hid his smile.

“Thank you for your hard work today. The team leader also asked to convey her gratitude once again.”

Park Seo-yun, the assistant manager who drove ho, greeted .

I had gained the recognition of Jung Ye-rin and the team mbers by cleanly conquering the Stone Golem dungeon.

‘Not bad for the first day.’

Moreover, seeing Yoon Tae-kyung’s flustered expression made smile involuntarily.

In any case, hadn’t my reputation improved thanks to this?

“Then I’ll see you for the Minotaur dungeon conquest.”

Park Seo-yun said that and left.

I had promised to help with the Minotaur dungeon as well.

‘Didn’t they say the dungeon master was an A-rank monster?’

The master of the next dungeon to be conquered was the Minotaur chieftain.

But Jung Ye-rin doesn’t know this fact.

She only estimates the dungeon rank as B-rank due to the complex maze.

‘Couldn’t I just take the Minotaur chieftain for myself?’

I had also moved the Stone Golems to my dungeon.

An A-rank monster is 5-star level even on the El Dorad continent.

Being the sa rank as a Death Knight, I thought I could use it in many places if I had it.

I can’t give up such a good opportunity.

‘Then who should I dispatch at that ti?’

The newly opened [Dungeon Conquest & Dispatch] system.

I was contemplating who to dispatch then.

‘If it’s a maze, can’t we just break through it?’

From what I saw with the Stone Golem, the Death Knight was extrely good at using a pickaxe, so couldn’t it break through the maze with that strength?

‘Let’s decide this when the ti cos.’

There were still 5 days left until the dungeon conquest anyway.

There was no need to worry about it right now.

“Then next…”

I looked at Maru.

“Clack?”

“Guide to Azmo’s dungeon.”

“Clack!”

It was ti to check out the dungeon corporation that Azmo was said to manage.

A large van was climbing a small hill road.

After climbing to a certain point, the roadside was full of stones from the middle.

Still, the vehicle passed through the stone road without hesitation.

As they continued moving, they soon reached a place where hunters were gathered.

When one person got out of the van, the hunters simultaneously bowed their heads.

“You’ve arrived, Mr. Vetter.”

The identity of the person who got out of the vehicle was Vetter.

He was Azmo’s assistant and a sli that could freely transform.

Thanks to his ability, Vetter had transford into a human and was skillfully commanding the Black Sun Guild mbers.

There was one reason why the dungeon corporation managed by Azmo was commanding a human organization.

The main purpose of the dungeon corporation was to trade goods to various dungeons, like the Demon World Association of the El Dorad continent.

However, there were many eyes here, so it wasn’t good for monsters to act alone.

Even if they transford into humans like Vetter, it required a lot of caution to move items or monsters to trade.

But since absorbing the Black Sun Guild, this was no longer an issue.

The van Vetter was riding in was the sa.

On the outside, it was a guild-owned vehicle, so there was nothing to be concerned about.

In reality, guilds move byproducts by vehicle after dungeon conquests.

When Vetter skillfully opened the van door, an unexpected being was riding inside.

“Kuo?”

It was a Stone Golem.

The other hunters were surprised, opening their eyes wide at the sight.

“C-Could that be…!”

The hunters belonging to the Black Sun Guild already knew that Vetter was no ordinary person.

He would enter dungeons, negotiate with their masters, and bring monsters from sowhere.

But this ti, he brought a Stone Golem.

“Huh, Mr. Vetter. Where on earth did you get sothing like that?”

Soone couldn’t contain their curiosity and asked, but they couldn’t get a proper answer from Vetter.

That Stone Golem was a gift bestowed by the great master, after all.

A total of 4 Stone Golems were given to Administrator Azmo.

However, 1 of them was brought here for the dungeon corporation’s trade.

“Was there nothing unusual?”

This place was important to Vetter.

It was where the first trading partner dungeon was located after the dungeon corporation was established, naly the Kobold dungeon.

Therefore, Vetter had deployed Black Sun Guild hunters to prevent anyone from approaching this place.

“That’s right. We monitored it thoroughly so that not even a mouse could pass through!”

If it had been just an ordinary Kobold dungeon, Vetter wouldn’t have been this concerned.

But this place was not an ordinary Kobold dungeon.

“Good, please continue to take care of it well.”

Vetter handed money to the hunters and patted their shoulders.

“Thank you, Mr. Vetter!”

This was why the hunters listened well to Vetter’s words.

Who wouldn’t be loyal when money cos in just for following orders well?

Vetter entered the dungeon interior with the Stone Golem, leaving behind the saluting hunters.

Then, a Kobold quickly ca out to greet them.

“You ca!”

It was this dungeon’s master.

“It’s been a while, dungeon master.”

“It’s been a while!”

The Kobold answered awkwardly.

No matter how much of a Kobold it was, it was still this dungeon’s master.

Vetter’s polite behavior was natural from the perspective of trading.

Moreover, this Kobold dungeon was an essential and important dungeon for the corporation.

The dungeon master Kobold imdiately handed over a large quantity of stones.

“Thank you! Always! For taking these stones!”

And the initial contract terms between the dungeon corporation and the Kobold dungeon were still being fulfilled.

The corporation agreed to protect the Kobold dungeon in exchange for taking the useless stones mined by the Kobolds.

Vetter nodded as he looked at the useless yellow stones and purple stones mined by the Kobolds.

They were gold and magic stones.

“And while digging stones, this ca out.”

After a mont, the Kobold took sothing out from its bosom and showed it.

“This is…?”

It was a small fragnt.

The problem was that it was a substance close to darkness, ominous just by looking at it.
