The day, Jason reached the guild
"Hyung-nim!"
"Huh?... Jin-Woo? What happened?" He turned around and saw Jin-Woo ing inside.
"Hyung-nim, I need your advice."
"Oh! Go ahead," Seeing Jin-Woo's serious face, he thought it might be serious.
'What could have happened?'
"Actually, today..."
Jin-Woo then told him about his talk with Jin-Ho. How the tter offered him 30 billion Won worth of building for helping him plete 19 raids.
Even though he had agreed, he still needed his advice.
"Hmm, it's a big amount."
"Yes, Hyung-nim."
"Well first tell me, do you trust that Jin-Ho pletely?!"
Jin-Woo was taken aback by his question. He couldn't say that he trusted him but he also didn't see any ill iion from the kid.
"I don't know."
A smile formed on Jason's face. This idiot had already started trusting him but just didn't want to admit him.
"I think you should help him. It's a good ce for you to level up smoothly."
"You think so, Hyung-nim." Jin-Woo took a sigh of relief. But then he remembered something and took out a key-looking item.
"Hyung-nim, I received this item from today's quest. It's an S-rank! Should I use it?"
"Oh, it's an S-rank!... I think you should use it. It'll be beneficial for you." Jason faked a surprised expression. "I'll also apany you just in case."
"Okay, Hyung-nim." Jin-Woo nodded his head aedly left the office.
'What a cute fellow!' Jason smiled, finding his behavior very much to his liking.
...
In front of the Daesung Tower.
A super-tall skyscraper over a hundred floors tall was standing straight as if to pierce the heavens above. Ihis was what the modern skyscraper should look like. Just looking up at it made him feel extremely dizzy.
Jin-Woo was afraid that Jason would not be able to follow him inside and told him about it.
But Jason assured him that everything would be fine.
Jin-Woo determined himself and used the key.
The space distorted and an invisible space ripple spread.
A big yellow-cate opened in front of them with lightning fshing around.
"What are you doing?!"
Jason looked around before his eyes nded on Jin-as toug the entrance.
"Nothing. It's just unlike before the entrance was not sealed by a barrier. It surprised me!"
"Leave it. Let's focus on oal at hand."
Jin-Woo nodded and turowards the se behind them.
Could this pce even be called a dungeon anymore?
A pletely different world was waiting for them.
Instead of the vanished Daesung Tower, a massive tower-like structure stood there.
'Wait, is that really a tower, or should I call it a castle, instead?'
A tower rising high into the air without an end, ed in reddish bck fmes. It was as if the tower wasn't burning, but it ewing out billowing fmes, instead.
They slowly walked towards this burning tower.
Crackle! Pop!
The closer they got, the louder the noises of fmes rampaging around grew.
' I eveer this thing in the first pce?'
"There's an even bigger problem before you think about that."
Jin-Woo's thoughts were interrupted by Jason. He looked in the dire where In-Taek was staring at.
He spotted a bck lifeform the size of a bull huddled in slumber right in front of the doorway emitting a very strong aura.
Jin-Woo carefully summohe Poison Fang of Kasaka.
"It's all yours," Jason said while pushing him a little.
Jin-Woo was startled but soon uood him. He nodded and walked toward it slowly.
However, it was impossible to fool the olfactory senses of a monster. Soon enough, the creature she air and raised its body up.
'Che.'
Jin-Woo clicked his tongue.
The creature stood up pletely and all three of its heads turned in Jin-Woo's dire.
[Hell's Gatekeeper, Cerberus]
"Growl!"
The Cerberus sehe enemy and bared its fangs to threaten him.'
Jin-Woo's gaze then wandered off to the creature's tail. It kind of resembled a whip, and its end was enveloped in fmes as well.
Jin-Woo's eyes sharpened in an instant.
The Cerberus slowly closed the distance before stopping right in front of him and began studying him for some reason.
'Is it… looking for an opening?'
Just as he thought that….
The motacked him.
"Rowr!!"
Jin-Woo's eyes opened much, much wider.
'Too fast!!'
Jin-Woo barely evaded the Cerberus's fangs by sliding underh the leaping monster.
The Cerberus nded ba the ground and spun around before began biting at him with its three heads.
"Woof!! Bark!! Rowr!!"
The sharp fangs gleamed coldly iweeing snouts.
Jason found a high spot to watch the fight since he had no iion to participate.
Only by gaining experience did Jin-Woo would be able to fight against the Monarchs iure.
He watched as Jin-Woo got bitten by the monster but had a hidden a his sleeve.
By using it he was able to kill the three-headed monster.
Oher hand, Jin-Woo only let go of the Cerberus's neck after firming its body going limp with his owhe heavy body sprawled to the floor without aance whatsoever.
Plop.
Jin-Woo rested his hands on his knees.
"Ha-ah…."
Only now could he breathe a sigh of relief.
A mohat could use a skill – if he didn't prepare a hidden trump card, then he'd have been killed for sure. A chill crawled down his spine just from thinking about it.
Jin-Woo stared up at the burning tower.
Crackle! Pop!
The very top of the structure was pletely shrouded in some kind of blurry fog. He had to ehe tower if he wao see what was going on inside.
But, Jin-Woo shook his head.
'Now's not the time.'
"Good choice! You're not ready for it yet." Jason nded beside him and said while patting his shoulder. 'At least until you get your css!'
"I know," Jin-Woo said with a hardened expression.
Although he was slightly unwilling, he stored the grey key inside his Iory.
'I will return.'
Definitely, very soon.
Jin-Woo smiled as he turned around to leave.
Seeing his back, Jason smiled before he turowards the Cerberus's body.
'Let me prepare a gift for you then!'
"Arise!" He issued an order in a anding tone.
"Awoo..."
With a loud roar, a cloud of thick bck smoke rose from the dead body. In just a few minutes, it turned into the shape of the three-headed Cerberus.
Jason quickly stored it before following Jin-Woo.
'I'll give it to you ter!'
And with that, the short raid came to an end and both of them left the dungeon.
