    Episode 31

    Enemies in outer space were still unaware of Suho’s existence.

    However if they eventually found out that the Shadow Lord had a son Suho would become the only weak point that would change the course of the war.

    Just by capturing him and using him as a hostage he could slow down Seong Jin-woo’s forces.

    …So I had to get stronger quickly.

    “In the end all you have to do is level up.”

    Suho nodded and looked back at the shadow dungeon.

    The daily quest was over but I thought it would be a good idea to hunt more goblins.

    Looking back wasn’t the content of the Hidden Quest about hunting ‘more’ than the set amount?

    ‘Maybe this was the direction the system wanted in the first place.’

    “gray.”

    “…Kkuung?”

    Gray hesitated and raised his head at Suho’s call.

    “Esil.”

    “huh?”

    Suho said with a grin at Gray and Esil who were looking at him.

    “Now that I’ve eaten everything I have to pay for the food right?”

    “Cow.”

    Gray who had never even tasted a whole pig made an aggrieved expression.

    However for Gray hunting and eating his own food was more helpful for his growth.

    * * *

    [The goblin shaman has been defeated.]

    [The goblin archer has been defeated.]

    ….

    [Your level has risen!]

    Suho went around the shadow dungeon with Essil and Gray for a while killing goblins.

    Sniff?

    Gray was weak but as a hunter he had an excellent sense of smell and could detect the scent of goblins hiding everywhere.

    Shush!

    On the other hand Eshil was a master spearman.

    No matter how weakened the demon noble was goblins were not even a snack.

    In fact he stuck his hand inside the goblin’s body and sucked out its magic power like a snack.

    “Wow. “It doesn’t taste good.”

    …I eat it with my hands but I guess I can taste it too.

    So do you brush your nails instead of brushing your teeth?

    ‘Anyway it’s really interesting. ‘The devil.’

    “…?”

    Esil frowned and tilted his head.

    For some reason Suho was looking at him like he was looking at a strange animal.

    And after some time.

    “The goblins around here are gone now. “I think I pretty much killed them all?”

    “I can’t see this side either.”

    Only then did Suho stop walking and put down the sword from his hand.

    Fluffy.

    Rakan’s fangs rose into the air with the power of the ruler.

    Berg flew over the handle like a sparrow and landed.

    [Solord I also took a circle and it seems like I really killed them all.]

    “great job.”

    [What do you plan to do now?]

    “We’ll just have to keep waiting here until they ‘Regen’ again.”

    Suho settled down in an open space in all directions and established a base.

    It was the so-called base camp.

    “We don’t know when or where it will flow in again so let’s continue scouting around this area. Of course not me but you.”

    “we?”

    Gray and Esil’s ears perked up at those words.

    “They will help too.”

    [Keruk keruk!]

    [Scream!]

    At Suho’s words the shadow goblins wandered around and began scouting.

    They looked like bandits looting a village but they were on our side.

    Guardian’s purpose was to see with his own eyes new goblins appearing in the shadow dungeon again.

    Considering the existence of daily quests it was certain that they would start flowing in again before the day passed.

    “okay. “I received help so I have to pay for the food.”

    licking.

    Eshil unconsciously tasted his food as he answered.

    Thanks to Suho I was able to eat for the first time in a while but the hunger I had been starving for for a long time was not going to be resolved overnight.

    ‘Even though goblins don’t taste good they are plentiful.’

    I was swallowing my saliva wishing he would show up quickly but when I suddenly looked to the side I saw Gray making the same expression.

    “Heh?”

    “….”

    Esil felt complicated because he felt like he was on the same level as this one-day puppy.

    * * *

    [Do you want to leave the shadow dungeon?]

    Suho came out leaving the shadow dungeon to Esil and Gray.

    ‘Even though I caught so many goblins I only leveled up once.’

    In order to become stronger you had to enter a stronger dungeon.

    Suho had many options now.

    One is to threaten Rakan’s Fang and rip off the location of the new sanctuary.

    However Rakan’s Fang did not know everything.

    They said they would let us know when they sense signs of a new sanctuary so we’ll just have to wait for now.

    And the second is to find a stardust factory somewhere and hunt down demons.

    There was no clue to finding this right away.

    ‘And the third…’

    Magog.

    ‘Of course it would be better to go there first.’

    Magok-dong Gangseo-gu.

    It is said that the original name of the area was Magok (麻谷) because of the abundance of ginseng (麻).

    But a year ago.

    Ever since the worst dungeon break in history occurred here people have been calling the area Magog (魔谷) or Demon World (魔境).

    After that Magog was designated as one of the most dangerous field dungeons in Korea and civilians stopped visiting it.

    ‘Gwanaksan Field and Seoul Station Field were both built a year ago. And it was exactly one year ago that Magog Field was created.’

    Isn’t it truly a coincidence?

    Looking back on what had happened so far I was certain that Magog was also involved in some way.

    “Then shall we go?”

    * * *

    Squeak.

    The bus door opened and Suho walked out.

    We arrived near Magog using public transportation.

    Even though the world had become like this trains and buses were still running well.

    So the world became even more strange.

    Just a few steps from an extremely ordinary civilized city you suddenly find yourself in a hell infested with demonic beasts.

    So even at this moment hunters were working hard to attack and purify those areas but at the same time a new gate was opening somewhere.

    [But this place….]

    As Magog got closer Ber’s eyes became serious.

    The Magog Field that stretched out beyond was a jungle with blue fog and dense forests.

    [It’s a place where you can feel a dangerous atmosphere just by looking at it. Of course it’s not dangerous to me at all. Kehem.]

    Ber who was seriously bragging about himself suddenly tilted his head and asked Suho.

    [Solord then why is there no barbed wire here?]

    Like Gwanaksan Field or Seoul Station Field most field-type dungeons were surrounded by long barbed wire to prevent demon beasts from coming out.

    But when we arrived at Magog those barbed wires were nowhere to be seen.

    “This place is too large to have barbed wire and barbed wire is meaningless in the first place.”

    [Why?]

    “Most of the demonic beasts here are plant-type monsters so they can’t come out anyway.”

    Strangely plant-type monsters could not take root in lands without blue fog.

    It was a truly fortunate event for the people of Earth.

    If it weren’t for that the dungeon’s plants would have covered the Earth long ago.

    [Hoo? It is truly a fun place.]

    Ber glared at the scenery of Magog with an expression of interest.

    Suho said they were plant-type demon beasts but Ver’s senses could also sense the presence of other beings.

    [Little Lord isn’t this field occupied by another guild?]

    “As far as I know none. “I couldn’t find it even when I searched on the Internet.”

    It turned out that Magog Field was a hunting ground open to all hunters.

    This was because it was very cumbersome to manage a place full of plant-type demon beasts at the guild level.

    Moreover money could be made by selling the corpses of demonic beasts but plant-type demonic beasts did not make a lot of money.

    Of course since research is still ongoing I don’t know what will happen in the future but it is an area that has not yet received much attention from hunters.

    “Besides there are ghosts here.”

    [Are you talking about a ghost?]

    Ber looked even more amused.

    Of course that ghost was not a ghost from a horror movie.

    A ghostly monster.

    In this forest not only plant-type monsters roamed but also ghost-type monsters whose bodies you could not obtain no matter how hard you tried to catch them.

    So it was only natural that hunters disliked this place.

    Because there is no money.

    ‘But I am different. Because experience points are more important than the corpse of a demonic beast.’

    Trudging.

    However this was the moment when Suho had just stepped into Magog Field.

    -It’s a sanctuary!

    “…!”

    Rakan’s fang which had been quietly placed in the inventory up to this point urgently called for guardianship.

    Suho immediately took out Rakan’s fangs and bit him.

    “what? Sanctuary? suddenly?”

    -okay. This area is filled with the energy of sanctuary! It seems that this dense forest and blue fog were preventing the energy of the sanctuary from flowing out.

    Ber looked at Suho at those words.

    [That means there is an artifact similar to Rakan’s Fang somewhere around here.]

    “Or there’s a boss mob like Brockie.”

    [Wouldn’t it be beneficial to choose between the two?]

    “That’s right. “If it’s a relic it’s an item and if it’s a boss mob it’s an experience point and a shadow soldier.”

    Suho looked at the dense jungle with sparkling eyes.

    The combination of the jungle and ghosts made it a troublesome and troublesome place for hunters.

    However Suho had navigation limited to the sanctuary.

    Suho raised Rakan’s fangs forward.

    “Do you know where it is?”

    -This way.

    Rakan’s fangs moved the tip of his sword and pointed to where the center of the sanctuary was.

    Suho boldly jumped into the jungle with Rakan’s fangs at the forefront.

    * * *

    Meanwhile Suho was not the only one exploring Magog Field.

    “Vice President it’s already been two days.”

    “How long are you going to be here?”

    “No rather than saying it’s difficult we need to know the schedule and purpose accurately…”

    The White Tiger Guild’s hunters had been wandering the jungle aimlessly for two days already.

    The reason was Baek Mi-ho the Vice President of the Baekho Guild who is currently leading them.

    However no one dared to complain openly about Baek Mi-ho.

    Especially now while Baek Yun-ho the president of the Baekho Guild was out of town Baek Mi-ho Baek Yun-ho’s daughter and vice president was the same as the president.

    “Someone keeps calling me.”

    Baek Mi-ho had been hearing strange auditory hallucinations for some time.

    -Prove your qualifications.

    The voice started out of nowhere.

    -Prove your qualifications.

    At first I dismissed it as just an auditory hallucination.

    However the voice grew louder as time passed and eventually it led Baek Mi-ho to come all the way to Magog.

    ‘What on earth is here? ‘What qualifications do I have to prove?’

    Baek Mi-ho was equally frustrated.

    But it was clear that there was something here.

    Because from the moment I set foot in this jungle I stopped hearing hallucinations.

    But that was then.

    Sigh!

    The hunters’ bodies trembled when they saw Baek Mi-ho’s face.

    ‘The vice president’s eyes….’

    Eyes with vertical slit.

    Suddenly the white tiger’s eyes were shining yellow like those of an animal.

    ‘Eyes of the Beast.’

    The beast transformation skill that made Baekmiho what she is today.

    Even though only a small portion of its power was revealed the pressure was enormous.

    -Prove your qualifications.

    “…Has it started again?”

    The voice came back to Baek Mi-ho’s mind.

    However the content was a little different from before.

    -Prove your qualifications to become king.

    Baek Mi-ho took off the hair tie she was wearing on her wrist and tied her hair which was fluttering like a lion’s mane.

    And with the eyes of a beast he glared fiercely at the direction from which the voice was coming.

    “Everyone prepare for battle.”
