Three Meals of a Reincarnator - Chapter 214
Chapter 214: Chapter 214
What was different from Korean dungeons was that besides Min Sung’s party, there were other players inside as well.
The members of one of the guilds were fighting off monsters.
But every time they saw Min Sung and his party, they stared like little kids who had their guards up.
Since the players who were already in the dungeon hadn’t seen Min Sung’s battle, they practically growled at his party for not being a part of a guild.
This was after he tested the level of the players in the area.
Since he didn’t have any more time to waste with small fries, Min Sung kept moving.
Ho Sung Lee, Bowl, and Ssol followed from behind him and passed all the other players.
***
When the players in the dungeon saw Min Sung passing by, they scoffed.
They weren’t staying where they were because they were lazy or stupid.
This dungeon was a level 7.
Beyond the levels of the monsters, there were booby-traps and equipment installed everywhere, which killed players.
So the fact that a novice player without a guild was rushing forward without hesitation meant that he could very well be killed before he hunted a monster.
Within guilds were experts who analyzed and cleared the traps.
“That foolish novice.”
“Snicker.”
“He must be crazy.”
“I can’t tell if he’s foolish or brave.”
The players within the dungeon laughed at Min Sung and his party.
***
[Warning]
[There are traps installed.]
‘Hm?’
Ho Sung Lee knitted his brows.
‘… Traps?’
“Sir!”
In response to Ho Sung Lee’s calling, Min Sung slowed down and looked back at Ho Sung Lee.
“There are traps.”
“…?”
At that moment…
Rattle! Clunk!
Along with a loud metal noise, a piece of metal with an Aura around it popped out from the ground and flew toward Min Sung’s body.
Min Sung used his shield to block the metal away.
Thud!
The sound of the weight could be heard against the shield.
An impact strong enough to ring through his entire body.
It was so powerful that it was strange that the shield didn’t break.
When he realized that the traps were quite elaborate, even more trap attacks followed.
Arrows shot toward him from all four directions.
But Ho Sung Lee didn’t have high enough stats allowing him to dodge them.
For that reason, he used his shadow movement skill.
Ho Sung Lee became a shadow and dodged all of the attacks.
The problem was that his attack power was at rock bottom, but in a world like this, his attack power was useless.
He made the best choice possible.
It was most effective for him to gain experience points while growing as a supporter.
Ho Sung Lee was certain that Min Sung Kang was satisfied with his choice as well.
***
The traps inside the dungeon were certainly powerful, but that only pertained to regular players.
To Min Sung, the trap equipment in the dungeon around Newtie City was not threatening whatsoever.
What was threatening was time.
Time made him feel restless. It got rid of his leisure and made him rush.
Min Sung’s only enemy was time.
For that reason, he had no choice but to be objective and use his time as efficiently as possible.
Min Sung dodged all of the traps that were thrown his way and swiftly moved forward.
***
The dungeons of Beatrice continuously unleashed monsters and dished out countless traps.
But within a certain time period, the same trap didn’t reactivate.
That was what confused the players who were currently in the dungeon.
Why didn’t the traps activate?
That thought didn’t leave the players’ minds.
In addition, no matter how far they walked, they didn’t see any monsters.
They felt like they were going to be possessed by ghosts.
Actually, they felt like the novice that went ahead of them was the ghost.
The players couldn’t believe it.
A novice got through all of the traps and killed all of the monsters?
This was something that the more experienced players of Beatrice would have scoffed at.
The 1st dungeon of Newtie City wasn’t an easy dungeon to break through.
That meant it was impossible unless he was a guild player with the highest specifications.
They pinched and slapped themselves to make sure they weren’t dreaming.
***
Min Sung cleared the dungeon and returned to the entrance of the dungeon through a portal.
[The Dionysus Gods who gifted you with experience points are in awe of your hunting abilities.]
[The gods are acticipating your next move.]
[You’ve cleared the quest.]
[You’ve received experience points…]
Min Sung ignored the continuous system messages and looked for other hunting grounds using the system map.
At that moment, the guild players of different teams came out through the portal to the entrance of the dungeon.
The guild players stared at Min Sung while he looked at his system map.
They all looked at him as a ‘mystery’ of life.
After the guild leaders discussed, one of the guild leaders walked toward Min Sung as he looked at the system map.
“Did you clear that dungeon?”
Min Sung looked at the guild leader in annoyance.
But his eyes were serious, and he looked determined to receive an answer.
Min Sung had no interest in talking to any of them.
Min Sung turned off his map. He ignored them and started walking to his next destination.
“Hey.”
As soon as the guild leader grabbed Min Sung by the shoulder, Min Sung made him freeze on the spot just by looking back at him.
The guild leader was frozen like a rock as he trembled and dripped in sweat.
That was because as soon as he met eyes with Min Sung, he felt a chilling sense of fear.
***
The guild leader had never experienced such a thing before.
It was horrifying to feel death just from a look in someone’s eyes.
‘What kind of novice…’
‘No, there’s no way he’s a novice.’
The guild leader was certain.
‘He’s not a novice.’
It was unlikely for a novice who didn’t have many chances to be sponsored by the gods to be that powerful.
‘Why did such a strong player come to the dungeon in Newtie City?’
He had many questions inside his head, and at the same time, he was horrified that death was near.
He just wanted to escape the dangerous situation.
“If you try to waste my time one more time, you and the rest of your group will die.”
It didn’t sound like he was lying.
He wasn’t bluffing.
He was telling the truth.
He was a player who could freeze people in their tracks with his glare alone.
They didn’t stand a chance against him.
It was time to let go of his curiosity.
All he could do was look down.
That was when horror faded away and Min Sung grew distant.
“What happened?”
That guild leader was the only one who sensed the chills.
The other guild members and players couldn’t sense it, so they didn’t understand.
“That’s not a novice,” said the guild leader.
“What do you mean?”
“Then is he a fake player?”
“Why was he at a Newtie City dungeon?”
The guild leader gulped as he looked in the direction of Min Sung.
***
With the guild players in front of the dungeon having failed their hunt, there was one man who had been secretly watching everything.
He stood on top of a tall tree and watched Min Sung’s party leave as he opened his system window.
He then wrote up a report and touched send.
Once he closed the window, the man continued to follow Min Sung’s party at a safe distance.
***
“I sense a rat,” said Min Sung.
“… Pardon?”
Ho Sung Lee looked around in confusion.
Ho Sung Lee didn’t have the ability to find someone who was hiding their presence.
So he had no choice but to look blank.
“Wait here. Once I catch him, we’ll eat a meal before we keep going.”
“Y-yes, Sir,” answered Ho Sung Lee with a confused face.
And at that moment…
Boom!
Min Sung disappeared with the sound of an explosion.
Ho Sung Lee blinked with a blank look on his face.
“Wow… He’s even faster now. Hey, Bowl. Did you see Min Sung move?” Ho Sung Lee asked.
Bowl shook his head and stepped backward.
“What about you, Ssol?”
Ssol nodded at Ho Sung Lee.
“Wow. That’s crazy. You saw that?”
“I’m fast.”
“I’m impressed…”
Ho Sung Lee felt jealous.
He also felt pained at the fact that he was less capable than a goblin.
He thought he became quite impressive as a supporter, but he was still considerably weak.
Ho Sung Lee smoked with a dejected face and waited for Min Sung.
***
The man who was watching Min Sung’s party jolted his eyes wide open.
The man he had been tracking suddenly charged toward him at high speed.
He tried to run off, but it was too sudden, and he was too fast to avoid.
The man decided not to run away and waited for him underneath the tree.
Boom!
Min Sung appeared right in front of the man’s masked face.
His movements caused a strong wind to blow, and even the large tree’s branches shook vigorously.
The masked man stared at player Min Sung Kang, whom he had been following, with a straight face.
“Who are you?” Min Sung asked.
“I already reported to the superior office,” answered the masked man.
“Are you talking about the rankers?” Min Sung asked.
“You’re looking down on Beatrice. Of course, I’m nothing but a carrier pigeon, but you don’t stand a chance against them.”
Min Sung smiled at the masked man.
“I didn’t expect much anyway. I’ve been watching players like you for a long time now.”
“…”
Min Sung’s gaze met with that of the masked man, causing the air around them to freeze.
