Episode 120.
Some were strong among the monsters that “pretended” to be unable to move. Still, most were weak monsters that failed to maintain their physical bodies during the dungeon integration process. Jung Si-woo advanced mercilessly, destroying all of them. It was only after a week that he could be mistaken for a simple environmental destructionist.
[Kya-hat.]
“…What.”
The fourth cavern was overwhelmingly smaller than the other ones they had gone through. A monster immediately stood in front of the group as soon as they entered a rocky mountain filled with moving rock monsters…it was a freak monster that had the head of a goblin on the torso of a troll.
[Chimera…it’s a piece of work by Metimoa.]
“Metimoa?”
[Snicker, kya-hat. Metimoa, do you know him? The one?]
The Chimera crept up to the party with a creepy laugh. The numerous heteromorphic monsters that appeared behind it had parts of other monsters like the chimera before them. In some cases, there were ones that have been mixed with non-living things such as rocks and trees.
[All gods are those who choose only things that seem not beneficial from a human point of view, but to pick the worst among them, it is a god who loves chaos. Metimoa, among them, is the worst type. This is because he is a god of deformed creation who seeks something different from the standard by mixing things that do not fit together.]
“Manipulated creation, I get the rough idea of it.”
Thinking about those punks that attacked the airplane on the day WRPC was held. Still, so made him naturally nod.
“Come here, you.”
[Squeal!]
To the Chimera, who was laughing inauspiciously and sneakily decreasing its distance with his companions, he raised his hand lightly and fired a Critical Bullet. The goblin’s head blew away, but soon it snapped up again from the Troll’s neck. He laughed even louder.
[You’ll be very sorry to know what you’ve done! You! You’ve copied his grace when you created this dungeon!]
“What…?”
Jung Si-woo’s brows furrowed. Aside from the fact that Jung Si-woo made the dungeon, what does it mean by imitating Metimoa’s grace in creating an integrated dungeon? The two rounds of Magic Bullets that boasted powerful damage each penetrated the Goblin’s head and Troll’s heart. At the next immediate moment, it turned him into money and a bead.
[After hearing that, I think what he’s saying is right, master.]
Caina raised her saber. Chimeras were rushing in from all around. Perhaps the expanses they had passed so far were literally just a graveyard for monsters who failed to meet basic qualifications.
[He is very pleased.]
[He wants to greet you himself, imprudent man.]
[Keuk, k-hat, k-hit.]
Every single word of it was nothing but exceptionally unpleasant. The Mana quality in their body was also very unpleasant, matching the horrible visuals, so it seemed that this side would be contaminated just by touching it…the problem was that they were mixed to create quite a powerful force.
[The methods of the Metimoa are always extreme and disorderly. Hasn’t the master previously encountered either Metimoa or his followers? In retrospect, the way this dungeon was created was terribly similar to Metimoa.]
“I’ve met chimeras, but I don’t know if it was involved in the creation of this dungeon.”
[Anyway, the factual truth is…Metimoa intervened in the dungeon integration process and created the majority of the monsters as it wished to. Perhaps…his traces were directly left behind. Be prepared. The master seems to have done more outrageous things than originally thought.]
Listening to those words, Jung Si-woo thought quietly. He just joined the dungeons as one because he didn’t want to bother roaming each dungeon, but he came across a god’s traces- if this wasn’t truly lucky as hell.
[K-augh, I think his arm is strong. Can you see that unerasable stigma of power?]
[His hand belongs to me. He will hand you a better blessing!]
The Chimeras were rushing in, completely devoted to the thought of dividing Jung Si-woo into parts for themselves. Although each of them was only Lv. 200, it was quite threatening as they rushed in all at once.
“Let’s get rid of these small ones quickly.”
“I’m sure you’re the only one in the world who can describe them as little ones, Oppa.”
[Then, I’ll add a little bit of force from now on.]
Caina was stronger than Jung Si-woo in terms of Magic power and physiology alone, but so far, she didn’t have to exert her power, and Jung Si-woo’s ability to sweep through the expanse was more suitable so she remained quiet. However, things were a little different when the opponents were Chimeras over Lv. 200.
“I’ll also support you, Hyung-nim.”
“Those rocks behind them are monsters, too. Don’t get beaten up again by flying projectiles.”
“Yes.”
The look of Yong Se-ha’s strongly replying was unreliable, but it couldn’t be helped. Jung Si-woo grabbed his hammers and charged vigorously at the Chimeras. The transition to Cruel Charge was very easy, as the Mana of Combat Charge was already flowing throughout his body.
[He’s quick!]
[Then his leg I will…squeaaal!]
The giant front paw carried the driving force of Cruel Charge, and the powerful strike on top of that struck the Chimera pack ahead. The monsters overlapped and bounced off along the sledgehammer’s trajectory…
“Okay, one blow worked until these punks.”
[Strong! He’s very strong!]
[I should take away his arm!]
The Chimeras surged even as their colleagues were dying. They were only filled to make the strength that Jung Si-woo’s revealed theirs.
[It’s noisy, all be silent by death.]
[K-hargh!?]
However, soon after, Caina, who was on the Phantom Bike, sprinted straight with a saber in hand and sliced away everything on her trajectory; they had no room for laughter anymore. The Death Knight, who swept the whole area, skilfully manipulated the bike (Jung Si-woo was pretty good at driving the bike, but he was an amateur compared to Caina) to make a neat turn. The Chimeras couldn’t even let out their cries properly and faltered.
“Whoa…hoooooooh!”
[Kek!?]
To top that, although he wasn’t as good as Jung Si-woo and Caina, Yong Se-ha now possessed the strength to stand against Lv. 200 Chimeras easily! Although the fiery charge didn’t end the Chimeras, it was enough to dampen their spirits and distract them. If Yong Se-ha created such a disruption, Jung Si-woo wouldn’t miss the gap and smashed them with a ruthless hammer attack. Caina, who secured her mobility, constantly reduced the number of Chimeras like a flying laser beam. The three fighters didn’t step back at all but proceeded fiercely and got rid of the Chimeras one after the other. The high-level monster beads and dollars flying through the air were a bonus.
“There’s a rock flying in!”
“Oppa, the clouds are falling, too!”
Apart from the Chimeras that actively moved to attack them, the objects that formed the whole world began to attack as well, so it was truly hectic. However, Jung Si-woo was rather happy. He could now unleash his power without hesitation!
“H-aaaaargh!”
Chimeras were thrown together by Yong Se-ha’s charge and tossed to the floor. The hard strike of the terribly powerful hammer released by Jung Si-woo struck like lightning. It didn’t only crush the Chimeras in an instant, but it also bombarded the stone floor. It was such a strong blow that at that moment, a fissure started to form and spread out in all directions like a spider web!
[G-oooooooh!]
However, what was surprising was that simultaneously, a terrible monster’s cry began to ring all around.
“Wha-, the mountain is splitting!”
[M-master. Could it be that you knew that this mountain was a colossal monster in itself?]
“No, it’s accidental! H-aaaargh!”
Jung Si-woo proudly said so and hit the floor with another hammer he had in his hand too. But before he struck again, the crack opened itself, causing his swing to whiff.
“Uh…hmm!?”
The Stone Mountain, whose identity was caught, intentionally created a big crack and tried to devour the party!
“H-aaaaap!”
[Squeaaal!]
[This crazy mountain is attacking us!]
Was it said that the god named Metimoa loved chaos? Then he couldn’t love enough of what was happening now. The natural features were intervening in the fight between Chimera packs and Jung Si-woo without identifying its enemy and allies, and even the rocky mountain! If there was a fight for all things by all things, this must be the scene!
[Master, are you all right!?]
“Hyung-nim!”
Caina and Yong Se-ha flew up using the Phantom Bike and wings in that mess. After securing safety from the sky, they belatedly became worried about Jung Si-woo. Still, the Stone Mountain cracked closed again before they found Jung Si-woo.
[Kouough!]
The Stone Mountain made a strange noise. Surprisingly, all the human beings and Chimera holding a battle on it had disappeared. The Stone Mountain had swallowed them all!
[Ku-kekeke, it’s the same for me to be blessed by Metimoa lord! Kehehehe!]
Could it be that being hurt by Jung Si-woo was part of its plan? Caina caught Yong Se-ha just before he immediately dropped down in fright to rescue Jung Si-woo.
[Isn’t it that such a thing wouldn’t even leave a scratch on the master’s body?]
“C-certainly.”
[We’ll have to clean up the rest of the monsters while the master clears the ground.]
[Kiak!?]
Even in the fourth cavern’s sky, it was still the same that it was a home for reclusive monsters imitating clouds and wind. Yong Se-ha and Caina charged straight at them. At about 45 seconds, not more or less, there was a thundering sound without any foreboding.
[Guuuuaaaaargh!]
The Stone Mountain’s pained roar filled the world. Yong Se-ha, who had roughly expected this to happen but had no idea exactly how it did, stopped scattering clouds and retrieving beads to glance down, witnessing a scene out of some myth.
“Heup… Hhhhh…khaaaaaargh!”
Jung Si-woo, whose body was half-buried in the bottom of Stone Mountain, was forcibly ripping through half of the Stone Mountain using his arms. So, to put it simply, he was holding about half of the Stone Mountain filling the vast cavern!
“G-argh!”
And with pure force, he tore it in half and held it in one hand.
“Heuaaaaap!”
He was destroying them by letting them crash into each other in the air!
“He’s not a human already…”
[It’s not like we didn’t already know.]
Perhaps he could shoot a small documentary with the title “Man vs. Mountain”? He looked down at the spectacular view while thinking such a stupid idea. It was very impressive to see Jung Si-woo stomping his feet and destroying the other half of Stone Mountain. About two weeks later, when they reached around the middle of the dungeon, Jung Si-woo was reunited with the long-forgotten entity.
