A legendary-grade weapon?
The novel never introduced any legendary-grade weapons. Even Kang Yoo-hyun’s demon sword was only SS-grade, and that alone was considered the most powerful weapon in the original story.
But legendary-grade? And it’s not even an item, but a weapon?
If Kang Yoo-hyun and the other main characters had legendary-grade weapons, their power would increase significantly.
They might even clear the final dungeon without needing my auxiliary skill. However, at the sa ti, it sounded too far-fetched. The monster’s words felt a bit strange.
–Please, I’m telling the truth! I know where legendary-grade weapons are. If you spare my life, I’ll find them all and give them to you!1
‘Give them to you…?’
That ant the monster didn’t just know about one legendary-grade weapon—but several? Legendary-grade weapons weren’t just stones scattered on the ground—they were supposed to be incredibly rare. None of this made any sense.
“It’s obviously a trap to lure us in. We’re better off ignoring whatever the monster says.”
“You’re right. There was a case in China where a monster that could speak human language lured a hunter in and attacked them.”
“He’s disgusting. Let’s kill him right here.”
Joshua, Liu Haoran, and then Anastasia spoke in turn, each glaring at the monster with clear disdain and repulsion. At that mont, a voice that didn’t match the serious atmosphere rang out around them.
“But what if it really does exist?"
‘…!’
It was Eden. Eden, who hadn’t appeared in the final dungeon, now stood there, looking laid-back as he casually glanced around at the other hunters.
The mont I saw him, I realized where we were—the Svartálfaheim Dungeon. In Norse mythology, it was said to be the ho of the dark elves, who were sotis considered the sa as dwarves.
The Alliance guilds that had co to support the final dungeon, at the Association’s suggestion, had tead up with the Odin Guild to attack the newly appeared dungeon.
Around this ti, Eden switched sides from villain to ally and joined the Odin Guild. Park Yoon-sung, impressed by Eden’s wind ability, placed him on the raid team. That was the last part I had read.
This vision seed to be showing what happened right after I stopped reading. I couldn’t believe sothing like this had taken place in the Svartálfaheim Dungeon. I stared at Eden in astonishnt.
"It’s a legendary-grade weapon. Isn’t that a big deal? What if you ignore it and end up regretting it later?"
‘Hey…!’
True to his nature, Eden spoke bluntly, without overthinking it. The other hunters didn’t look pleased. An invisible wall seed to stand between Eden, a forr villain, and the others—as if they had belonged to entirely different worlds from the start.
I almost spoke up to defend him without thinking but stopped myself, rembering that no one could hear anyway. Just then, a refreshing voice chid in.
"I agree. Honestly, it sounds pretty fun. I want to follow that monster out of curiosity."
‘…’
It was Liam White. Unlike the others, he hadn’t even drawn his weapon. Instead, he looked at the monster with innocent eyes—a warm gaze, as if he were seeing a long-lost friend. I was honestly at a loss for words.
"As I’ve told you countless tis, we’re not here to have fun, Liam."
“I know that, Andrew.”
The other hunters shot Liam White and Andrew Bailey exasperated looks as they argued like a cody duo. I couldn't help but agree with them, shaking my head.
"Then how about splitting into teams to explore?"
"Splitting up in an SS-rank dungeon? That’s basically suicide."
"Isn’t trusting that monster a minority opinion to begin with?"
"So now we’re just ignoring minority opinions?"
‘…’
The argunt quickly spiraled into chaos. Expecting high-ranking hunters to have a calm, reasonable discussion was naïve. They snapped at each other, shouting with veins bulging in their necks.
“Enough.”
With a swish, Kang Yoo-hyun drew his sword, a sinister aura radiating from it. Imdiately, the hunters stopped arguing and turned to him, their expressions tense and nervous.
There was sothing unstable about Kang Yoo-hyun’s energy. He didn’t feel like the Kang Yoo-hyun I knew, and adjusting to this unfamiliar side of him wasn’t easy.
‘Ah…'
But it made sense that I felt that way. The Kang Yoo-hyun in this vision wasn’t the one I knew—he was the version from the novel, or rather, from before his regression. In a way, he was a different person altogether.
He exuded a sense of boredom, yet at the sa ti, an unstable energy surrounded him, ready to explode at any mont. Suddenly, Kang Yoo-hyun’s eyes shone fiercely, and in the next instant, he swung the demon sword in his hand.
Swish.
‘…!’
The cursed sword sliced through the air at an invisible speed. A mont later, sothing fell to the ground with a thud—the severed head of the monster that had just sparked a heated dispute among the hunters.
It happened so fast that the monster didn’t even realize its head had been cut off. Its face remained frozen in the sa wary expression from monts ago, still sneaking glances at Kang Yoo-hyun just before he suddenly drew his sword.
“Let’s just ignore this and move on.”
“…”
Kang Yoo-hyun, speaking calmly, sheathed his sword. The hunters, who had been loudly arguing just monts ago, fell silent. Then, as Kang Yoo-hyun started walking again, they followed behind him. In no ti, the place was deserted—only the decapitated body remained.
“Gasp…!”
I gasped and opened my eyes. A familiar ceiling ca into view. I blinked a few tis, then took a slow, deep breath.
“Kkyaaa!”
“Ppiiik!”
“Oh… Daddy’s fine, you guys."
Yong-sik and Yong-sun were by my side, watching over as I lay stretched out in the middle of the living room. Letting out long cries, they pressed their small front paws against my arms and legs.
"Phew…”
I let out a heavy sigh as I returned to reality. A mont later, a small system window appeared in front of .
[Chapter: Pivotal. Doubt.]
[You have read page 66.]
[The number of Yggdrasil’s Essence required for the next reading: 0/1]
“…”
I recalled the vision I had just seen—a monster begging for its life in exchange for the legendary weapons. The hunters were divided on what to do. In the end, Kang Yoo-hyun killed the monster that caused the dispute with a single strike and continued the dungeon raid…
There had to be a reason why the system showed this vision. And it wasn’t hard to figure out why.
"That legendary weapon… it really exists."
"Kkyaau…?"
"Ppiiu…"
"…"
Yong-sik and Yong-sun were dozing off, their eyes heavy with sleep. I decided to leave it at that and put them to bed. Piyu, piyu—lying side by side, they snored in unison. I watched them with a satisfied smile before heading back to the living room.
“I should get that legendary weapon… right?”
I couldn’t fully trust the words of that dark monster, but the fact remained—Kang Yoo-hyun, who chose to kill it, failed to clear the final dungeon.
Even if the legendary weapons were just a trap ant to lure in and kill hunters, I had a feeling that making the opposite choice this ti might lead to a different outco.
The problem was convincing the hunters in that situation… And Kang Yoo-hyun, who had ruthlessly killed the monster, didn’t seem like soone who could be easily persuaded.
"Hmm… What should I do?"
As I pondered, a thought suddenly struck —the current Kang Yoo-hyun wasn’t the sa as the one from the novel before his regression.
Maybe it was because of my auxiliary skill, he was oddly friendly toward . If I played my cards right, I just might be able to convince him. Besides, thanks to the Sweet Sleep item, he was getting good rest every night, so he definitely wouldn’t be as irritable.
"Oh, right."
Co to think of it, it was ti to use the Sweet Sleep item on Kang Yoo-hyun. Rembering that, I reluctantly got up from my seat.
Soon, the Odin Guild would be tackling the Svartálfaheim Dungeon alongside the Alliance Guilds.
Of course, I’d be going with them—they were counting on my auxiliary skill to help clear it safely. I nodded to myself and left the room. I’d have to give more thought to how to persuade the main characters.
"Pardon? Could you repeat that?"
A few days later, I received a summons from Park Yoon-sung. However, instead of going to him, I stayed in the accommodation.
Park Yoon-sung ca directly to our lodging, and we faced each other in the shared living room. The other housemates had gathered as well. I didn’t quite understand what he said and asked him to repeat it. Park Yoon-sung kindly explained again.
"Please refrain from leaving the lodging for the ti being."
"But… what about dungeon support?"
"The abnormal phenonon has settled down, and the Alliance is here to help. Get so rest until the final dungeon opens."
"…"
No, this wouldn’t do. I looked at Park Yoon-sung with a troubled expression. I understood his reasoning—he was likely keeping here because the Laufey Guild was after more persistently than expected.
Since all I had to do was use my auxiliary skill, there was no need for to enter dungeons to level up or train. It seed he intended to keep under strict protection and only deploy when the final dungeon appeared.
But this was a problem. Before seeing the vision, I might have nodded without hesitation—but not now. I had to follow them to the Svartálfaheim Dungeon and stop the main characters from killing that monster!
"Still, I’d feel bad being the only one staying behind…"
"No one thinks that way, so don’t worry."
"…"
Damn it. Seeing the others nodding along with Park Yoon-sung only made more frustrated. Was there any way? As I bit my lip, soone suddenly ca to mind.
In the previous chapter, I used a legendary-grade weapon and mistranslated it. But it should be legendary-grade weapons instead. I will fix the previous chapter. I apologize for the inconvenience 🙏.
