I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

89 – Second Pet (1)

‘The moment the sun and moon rise simultaneously on the surface of the water, they throw themselves into the lake. When I first heard that, I wondered what absurd conditions there were…… ‘

Percussion-

“Wow, this is a dungeon.”

“It’s the first time I’ve been to a hidden dungeon.”

“…… It really came in.”

Erio and Doyuna looked around curiously.

Shigure opened her mouth for a moment as if she was dumbfounded, then she looked around with the two of them.

The inside of the dungeon was like an underground cave.

However, the floor was as clean as if it were laid with stone tiles, and in the middle between the ceiling and the wall, there were staggeredly staggered lintels to secure the view, giving it an artificial feel.

‘It feels like an underground temple.’

It was an unexpected scenery, but it was not surprising.

It was already a widely known fact that the environment inside the dungeon was mixed with all sorts of bizarre things.

‘If I had to ask, I’d rather be curious about that guy than about the dungeon.’

Shigure glanced at Doujin.

‘That guy, how the hell does he know about these things?’

I heard that you got this information by interpreting a book you got by chance.

But I was still suspicious.

It’s all the more so when you see him checking his condition as if he’s used to this place, rather than looking around curiously like other people do.

As if he had noticed Shigure’s gaze, Doujin quietly spoke to her through her choker.

-There is nothing to tell you even if you look at me like that, so stop staring at me. And what happened here today is a secret from your dad.

-Okay.

After Shigure said that, he slipped the mask up to his nose.

I was swept away by curiosity for a moment, but in fact, I wasn’t in that situation right now.

A dungeon is a place where opportunity and crisis coexist, and Hidden Dungeon was especially true among such dungeons.

In other words, it was wiser to focus on the battles and traps to come rather than focusing on vain curiosity for now.

‘By the way, what should I do with the position? It’s a party without a tank and no healers, so I’ll have to be as careful as possible.’

While Shigure was fumbling for the shuriken under his ninja suit with a worried gesture, Doujin looked at Erio and said.

“Now then, Erio. I wish you well.”

“Yes, trust me.”

Thinking that she answered very energetically, Erio walked forward.

Seeing him, Shigure was taken aback.

“Wait! Is it okay if I just let him go that way?”

“Huh? What’s the matter?”

Do Yujin looked at me as if there was a problem, and Shigure said in frustration.

“Is it okay if I go that way?! I know Erio is strong, but this is a hidden dungeon. I don’t know what might happen, but sending it alone…… “

“Oh, it’s okay.”

Do Yujin waved her hand and stopped Shigure from speaking.

“I can roughly guess what you are worried about. He’s not on that level.”

“What is that…… “

The moment Shigure tried to argue again, not understanding Doujin’s words.

“A thrill.”

Erio said his signature spirit and lightly shook his hands.

Then, lightning in the form of small needles flew in all directions, piercing through the heads of the black snakes hiding everywhere.

When Shigure was horrified at the sight of the Shadow Snakes who died without her screaming, Yujin Tou pushed her on the back and said,

“You can’t judge him simply by the way he showed in class.”

“…… You mean you were hiding your skills during morning practice?”

“No, that’s not it. I don’t know why either, but he secretly works hard to become stronger.”

Huh-

Hearing those words, Erio let out his snort with satisfaction.

She sighed in joy at the fact that Dou-jin continued to look after her.

“I just have to say…… “

Overwhelming detection ability to nullify the opponent’s surprise.

A swift attack that is enough to outwit an enemy who has hidden his identity.

A technique that maximizes the speed and penetrating power that are characteristic of the lightning attribute.

A quick reaction made possible by being loved by lightning and blessed by magical powers.

After examining Erio’s abilities one by one, Jin Dou recalled the image of Erio he had seen in her game for a while and said.

“Just…… He’s a genius halfway into the realm of monsters.”

A word full of sincerity.

So Shigure blankly looked at Erio’s back, who was walking ahead.

Whether he knew Shigure’s gaze or not, Erio advanced through the dungeon with brisk steps.

◎ ◎ ◎

‘…… Is this right?’

Shigure pondered as he walked.

It is common sense that a dungeon is a labyrinth full of unknown threats, and one cannot relax even for a second.

‘But now, what the heck…… ‘

Shigure stared blankly in front of her while feeling the sense that his common sense was being shattered one by one.

“It’s annoying.”

A serpent of shadows that appears countless times between the gap between the wall and the floor.

Originally, the guys who would have dragged the intruders who entered the dungeon down to hell with their bizarre movements and dark gimmicks died after being pierced through his head without being able to cross the wall called Erio.

“I solved it.”

A trap that blocks those who approach and draws them to their death.

Originally, they would have reacted sensitively to the appearance of intruders like inexperienced maidens, but when Do Yoo-jin lightly waved his hand a few times, they opened the door left and right as if to welcome them.

Military force and intelligence, both of which were used together, they roamed this dungeon as if it were their own home.

The result.

Koowoon-

“Good job.”

“Yes.”

After a while, even the boss monster in this dungeon was easily dealt with.

‘What the hell is this…… ‘

Shigure looked at the huge snake in front of him with a puzzled face.

A black snake with white scales that boasts the size of a large truck.

He wasn’t weak.

It was because Shigure felt that he was roughly at the top of the B rank.

At this level, it could cause a great disaster if it appeared in an unprepared city.

Paper weave-

But now, with his forehead pierced by Erio’s huge spear of lightning, his body trembled like an eel waiting to be groomed.

‘And the person responsible for this absurd thing is a leisurely conversation…… ‘

Shigure swallowed a laugh at the ability that could only be described as phenomenal.

By the way, the fact that Yujin Do was also surprised was the same.

‘I didn’t expect to win so easily…… ‘

Do Yoo-jin, in a bewildered mood, removed the numerous texts that appeared in front of him with one hand.

I wonder if this was also recognized as a party hunt, and the characteristics due to achievements came in.

Do Yujin ignored them and looked at Taegeuksa (太極蛇) lying on the floor.

‘It was strong.’

Taeguksa pushed Erio with his strength and swift movements, as strong as his body.

It wasn’t just strength.

The ability to heal the body by manipulating the shadows inside the boss room and creating and controlling a completely different white light was very threatening.

Well, it didn’t work for Erio, who was quick to attack before recovering and revealing the darkness itself.

‘Oh, this game really embodies the difference in compatibility.’

If Doujin had fought Taiji Temple, even if he won, he would have been seriously injured.

Taegeuksa’s ability was good enough to be considered the worst match for Doujin.

But just like that, Erio was the worst enemy for him.

That guy, if you have to classify it, it’s because he’s a dark attribute.

‘Well, Erio was much stronger than I expected…… It wasn’t intentional, but the timing was good, so it’s natural.’

From noble mtl dot com

Actually, the guy that appeared in the game wasn’t like this.

The one with perfectly symmetrical white and black scales was much bigger and had stronger abilities.

In addition, the shape of the dungeon was also different.

There were only traps, and there were no monsters called shadow snakes.

‘And the reason is probably because of time.’

There are a few things I learned from my conversation with Shigure.

Through him I thought…… Apparently, this guy wasn’t naturally born inside, but seemed to have flowed into this dungeon from the outside.

‘The guy who rolled in must have drooled when he saw the energy drawn from the dragon vein here to maintain the seal.’

Then it would have sucked him in and created a fragment.

To absorb as much of the energy in this dungeon as possible.

In other words, the guy who appeared in the game was completely different from the guy lying here now.

Ugh-

The moment I finished that simple reasoning, the boss room vibrated a little and began to drop something in front of us.

It was the appearance of artifacts and rewards given only to those who cleared the dungeon.

[Fox Tail Clothes] / Clothing / 5★

-A suit made from the fur left behind by a fox that is said to have the strength to climb into the sky. The energy of the fox that cherished this garment permeated, giving it a mysterious power.

-Skill [Unbreakable Treasure]

-Skill [Blessing of the Nine Tails]

[Indestructible Treasure]

▶Explanation – “This garment is the treasure of this body, so it should obey my will and not be damaged.”

▶Effect – Stretches to fit the wearer, automatically repairs, and always stays clean.

[Blessing of the Nine Tails]

▶Explanation – “Since this body has finally acquired the nine tails, that blessing will linger around it as well.”

▶ Effect – When worn by fox-related races, all abilities are raised by one level and potential abilities are stimulated, making it easier to grow.

“What is that?”

“Miko clothes?”

“No, from the exposure level, it looks like a gisaeng’s clothes? By the way, something like this could come out as an artifact.”

Erio, Doyuna, and Shigure looked at the artifact in Doujin’s hand and said one word at a time.

In fact, this artifact was often treated as a bad thing among users.

The first option was useless in the game, and the second option was a bit useful, but it wasn’t so great that I had to change my race.

‘That’s why it was only for people who wanted to see the costumes of Han Si-yeon and other heroines.’

In the meantime, a player raised a question on the board.

In order to find an artifact in a dungeon where the boss is a snake, fancy dresses like snakeskin have to come out.

It was an extremely lustful grumble, but it certainly made those who heard it think that something a little out of the ordinary had jumped out.

And some people went out looking for an Easter egg, but in the end no one could find it.

But now, Yujin Do has succeeded in digging into the truth through Shigure.

‘It was a simple story after all.’

The fragmentation body is to more efficiently absorb the dragon vein flowing through the ground.

Then what did the guy in the boss room eat to grow so big?

There was simply more energy flowing through the boss room?

Then, why did he, who was originally just a shadow snake, grow anew by gaining light-attribute mana?

Do Yujin knew the answer.

So I went inside a tightly closed shrine.

‘I never thought that even being a hidden dungeon wasn’t enough, so originally it was even a double dungeon.’

Looking at the huge gentleman and the white fox tail floating in the center, he smiled.

That was the identity of the power that made the tiny shadow snake into the Taegeuksa Temple that rules light and darkness while being sealed here for hundreds of years and watched over by the Huma clan.

Because of that, Yujin Do smiled even brighter.

Because I can get a better item called a fox tail instead of the snake skin I originally thought of.
