After monsters appeared in modern society.
Most of the special topographical features in the country became outside the magical barrier fields.
However, the space commonly referred to as the field was not called that just because the [Magical Barriers] were absent.
Just as when you clear a dungeon, the dungeon boss takes a week to respawn, even in areas outside of dungeons, there is a kind of monster respawn space designated by the system.
No matter how much you set up barriers and control magic in this space, monsters will appear somehow, breaking through them.
It was not simply a space without magical barriers, but a space where setting up barriers was meaningless anyway.
Although Holders around the world have conducted countless research to annihilate monsters so far, everything ended in failure due to the systems force majeure.
Thats why fields have now lost all possibility of [Magical Barriers] and their perception has changed to something like hunting grounds for Holders.
Its not a field, is it?
However, there was a special topographical feature in the country that escaped this field designation.
That was Gyeryong Mountain, which we are climbing today.
Gyeryong Mountain was not designated as a field, so it was an ordinary mountain where [Magical Barriers] were normally activated.
Yoo Eun-seol nodded at my words.
Yes. Gyeryong Mountain is the only mountain among the major mountains in the country that is not designated as a field. Its close to being the only mountain in the country where you can go hiking on weekdays, so there are so many people even though its a weekday.
I see.
Theres still so much I dont know.
Although I became a veteran B-grade Holder after going through all kinds of hardships for a year, in terms of Holder career I was still a fledgling Holder rookie.
There were still many fields and dungeons I hadnt been to, and quite a bit of information I didnt know because I didnt see it in the original work.
I only found out today that Gyeryong Mountain was the only no field among the major mountains in the country.
As if to prove that, there were an uncountable number of ordinary people hiking around us.
Despite the limit on the number of people at the entrance, there were too many to count.
Mom, I think those are Holders over there.
Joon-soo, dont point at the Holders like that.
There were also some people looking curiously at us hiking while armed.
The good thing was that both Master and I were moving with masks and robes on, so there was no chance our identities would be revealed.
Given how much attention is focused on us just for being Holders, if people found out who we were
They might completely block the way, asking for autographs and to take pictures.
Master is a celebrity even known to ordinary people.
Ive only recently made a name for myself, and even then Holders are more interested in me as a promising prospect
Master is one of only five S-grade Holders in the country.
Moreover, a genius among geniuses who became the youngest S-grade Holder ever.
The number of S-grade Holders also signified national status, so his popularity surpassed that of average entertainers or sports stars.
Dressing up like this to go to dungeons was not excessive at all.
[You have entered the dungeon.]
[The valor of the dungeon temporarily raises the spirit and divinity of the Holder.]
We soon arrived at the dungeon, passing through the large crowd.
As soon as I entered here, I had to read another message I was seeing for the first time.
What the. It raises instead of lowers?
When entering a mid-level dungeon that could have average C-grade or higher monsters appearing A stat downgrade info window normally pops up.
This is a debuff held by the dungeon itself, which cannot be immune even with mental stats or [Enlightenment Quotient].
No matter how strong the Holder, they couldnt escape this debuff.
Yet for some reason, a message about raising stats appeared instead of lowering them.
Of course, this was a fact I had never heard of or experienced before.
I blinked my eyes a few times and rubbed them. Master looked at me strangely.
Jae-hyun, whats wrong?
The Dungeon debuff
Ah. Its a bit strange, isnt it? This dungeon oddly lowers mental and divine stats instead. When I raided this dungeon, I think it was my first time seeing a peculiar debuff like this too.
Huh?
Thinking I misheard, I stupidly repeated the question back.
Token of Courageous Oath.
I murmured that name blankly.
Courageous, and oath.
Both were very familiar words.
Master continued.
There are various effects of the item but The most important thing is that it gives qualification to enter the dual dungeon inside. More precisely, it gives qualification to the Holder, and for others with different qualifications, it shines and reacts. The reason why I was able to find Jae-hyun as my partner was also thanks to the effect of this item.
The questions I had been curious about were solved there.
The reason why Master chose me accurately.
And the reason she knew about the entry conditions for the dual dungeon.
It seemed that everything was explained in the related item.
And thinking that far, I suddenly clapped my hands as a thought occurred to me.
Ah! Then that dual dungeon
Yes. I think thats really the dungeon related to the existence called dragons. I think this dungeon is more like a rite of passage to get in there.
It seems like too powerful of a dungeon for just a rite of passage though
Anyway, I understood everything Master was trying to say.
Around then when the 10 minutes she first mentioned was ending.
Wooo wooo!!
Syut, ahhh!
Suddenly from somewhere.
Along with a heavy wailing sound, I heard the sound of a huge wave of water.
The owner of the sound was close.
It was the sound coming from behind the large river right next to us.
I quickly took out the [Sword of Penitent] and the [Goblin Bronze Shield] with the Art of Weapon Exchange.
It was to respond defensively to the sudden situation.
But Master reached out her hand and stopped me.
Stay calm. Its a reactive-type monster.
A reactive-type monster?
Yes. To be precise, it will pass by without us even having a chance to attack. Its a peculiar monster that moves repeatedly from the entrance to the deepest part and back.
Unlike normal monsters, reactive-type monsters dont attack until the Holder attacks first.
Extremely rare, but while going around dungeons, monsters like that would occasionally appear.
In fact, this monster doesnt even attack, it just passes by without giving us a chance apparently.
Hearing Masters words, I also relaxed my guard stance relieved.
No need to waste strength on a monster we wont even hunt.
But.
Wooo wooo!!
Syut ahah!!
Coo, quaah!!
Master? Isnt this guy not passing by?
Huh?
The giant monster moving with tremendous roar stopped right next to us.
A completely different development from Masters words that it would pass by without a chance to hunt it.
Even Masters face showed rare bewilderment.
But the really important thing
Wasnt that.
Lord, Aspidochelone! I greet the oath keeper of the great existence! I will safely transport the oath keeper to wherever they wish to go!!
The monsters bellowing is communicated through the [Language] rune.
But I didnt understand its words straight away.
I suddenly felt like an idiot.
Just what the hell is this giant turtle punk?
