Dungeon Hunter
Chapter 14's

The Demonic Swordsman Kang Oh

After she makes a contract with Jin Cheol, Jae Woo returns home and accesses Arth.

To begin leveling in earnest, he traveled to the vast expanse of forest east of Altein.

"Wow."

Kang Oh was amazed.

He saw one of the trees. It was as tall as a 15-story building, and just as big.

It was an Agrashi tree, which was said to grow endlessly. In fact, this one is a dead tree, so it will not grow again.

"To think that this is a young one."

The 15-story tall Agrashi Tree seemed to be on the small side.

This Agrashi Tree, which grew for over 10,000 years, is large enough to be considered a World Tree.

After all, there was a low-level dungeon inside this dead tree, the Shady Spider Colony.

There are a large number of Level 10-15 Shady Spiders living inside this colony.

It was an environment filled with webs, poisons, and spiders ready to attack their prey from the ceiling.

They were indeed low-level monsters, but it was difficult for beginners to defeat them, so most players did not come looking for this dungeon.

Worse, since there was no monster boss, there was no real motivator to come here, as they would not obtain rare items here.

That's why Kang Oh came here.

Because it meant that Kang Oh could face them alone and unhindered.

Of course, one needed the ability to defeat them alone, but he did not need to worry about that.

"After all, it's me we're talking about."

To Demon Swordsman Kang Oh, this place is like a big crab.

With his SS-ranked demonic sword, he could break his shell and pull out the flesh beneath him!

There is no reason to doubt.

Kang Oh immediately entered the basement.

[Entering the Shady Spider Colony.]

As expected, there were no other players in the basement. Instead, the Shady Spider rudely greeted the unexpected guest.

Kieek!

Two Shade Spiders fell from the ceiling.

The Shade Spiders striped zebras and the more lines they had, the greater their strength. Based on his lines, he considered it to be around level 10.

Kang Oh unsheathed Ubist and held him in a ready state.

That was the main reason he, a level one player, could enter the Shady Spider Colony without fear!

"Houp."

Kang Oh swung his sword horizontally and the Dark Attack was activated.

His sword unleashed a wave of black energy that resembled a savage beast.

A really devastating blow!

The spider died, unable to even scream.

'That doesn't steal any statistics.'

When using Demon Sword Ubist and Darkness Strike skill activated, there was a fixed possibility that the stats of the killed enemy would be stolen.

Kyas.

As soon as their comrades were killed, the other Shady Spiders stormed in agitation.

Kang Oh was only level 1, but was able to dodge their attacks with his Hyper Intuition.

As he dodged their attacks, he simultaneously swung his sword repeatedly.

He cut it again and again with his pitch-black sword. Darkness Strike was inactive, but after his third slash...

[You have leveled up.]

[HP, MP, and Your Statistics have increased.]

[You can now allocate your new stat points.]

Finally, he reached level 2!

He had finally graduated from level 1.

* * *

In a short period of time, Kang Oh had reached level 10. Makes sense. Because he's the only one here.

Kieks.

Three Shade Spiders spray poison from the ceiling.

This is why beginners avoid this area!

The antidote is too expensive for beginners. If they were poisoned, they would be forced to retreat or die.

But Kang Oh is different; he can easily avoid their poison with his Hyper Intuition.

Even if he was hit, it would not be a problem.

Once he became the Swordsman of the Demon Sword, his poison resistance increased, so there was almost no chance of him being poisoned by this Shady Spider.

"Dead!"

Kang Oh rushed towards the spider unhindered.

Every time he swung his demonic sword, shards of red light spread in the air.

Because he attacked wherever Hyper Intuition felt weakness, he repeatedly got critical attacks.

Therefore, he tirelessly killed the spider and pushed forward towards the top of the tree.

Since it was a tree-shaped dungeon, once he reached the top, he also had to descend back the same way.

In order to stop his advance, the spiders came at him nonstop.

Yet...

Dodge, dodge, dodge!

Their attacks never touched him.

It is a combination of a gamer with the Demonic Swordsman class, which has devastating attack power, and Hyper Intuition.

It creates incredible synergy.

[Side stat, Evasion, has been created.]

[The higher the status, the higher the chances of you being able to dodge an attack.]

Moreover, he even obtained a side stat!

Kang Oh jumped down. He had already reached the top and was on his way down.

Just one more time and he'll reach the exit.

Yet...

He suddenly felt something strange.

'What is this?'

His Hyper Intuition directed him to a wall made of bark.

It was different from his Hyper Intuition warning him of danger or showing weakness.

It told him that the wall itself was suspicious and there was something behind it.

Kang Oh swept the wooden bark wall with his palm.

He felt two different feelings from the wall.

First is just the outside of the dry bark wall. On the other hand, he felt it was very sturdy.

To be sure, Kang Oh swung his sword at the sturdy wall.

The kwang!

Kyah!

What he had once thought was a wooden bark wall rushing towards him.

It happened so suddenly that his hair was goosebumps.

"Fuck up!?"

He instinctively swung his sword.

The kkang!

The demon sword instantly bounced off, but anything that flew towards it also bounced.

Looking closer, it was a spider.

It was a spider that had the same pattern and color as the tree.

However, even though it was a spider, both of its front legs were as thick and as solid as a club. It was a little smaller than a bull.

[You've found the Earth Shady Spider, Rash.]

[You were the first to make this discovery.]

'Monster named!'

Named monsters, as implied by their title, monsters by name. They were stronger than normal monsters and used special skills as well.

Moreover, they had a higher chance of dropping rare items than ordinary monsters.

In other words, they were rankers from the monster world!

"Give me the stuff!"

Kang Oh ran towards Rash.

Kayak, kayak!

In turn, Rash screamed and swung his thick front legs. They quickly exchanged a few blows with each other.

'That's hard.'

Every time his demonic sword made contact with Rash's carapace, it rang as if it was hitting metal.

It was completely different from the normal Shade Spider carapace, which broke like a pine board.

But he still had his sword.

SS rank demonic sword!

He could not fully pierce through Rash's carapace, but he continued to create fine cracks along its surface.

Kang Oh must be leading! But then, Rash body shook.

Dee - Dee - Dee!

Rash screamed, sounding like a cricket.

[Rash calls his allies. You will soon be swarmed by spiders.]

'Really annoying!'

Kang Oh decides to take him down as soon as possible.

"Can we?"

Kang Oh recalled the 'Dividing the Sea' technique he saw from the Swordmaster, Valan.

The mighty power that had split the Demon Beast King, Ubist, into two!

Kang Oh focused on his sword and unleashed all his strength at once.

Whirr.

He carved a white line into the air.

This was the effect of the slashing skill!

At the same time, the Dark Attack was activated.

A white line formed on Rash's body, which was followed by a wave of Darkness Strike.

The kwang!

Followed by the sound of an explosion, as Rash's body split into two, following the white line that was scratched on his body.

[You were the first to defeat the Earth Shady Spider named.]

[As a reward for being the first to defeat him, the monster would drop the highest ranked item he could drop.]

[You spontaneously learned Slash.]

[You have leveled up.]

Several happy messages appeared one after another.

And where Rash once was, a passageway leading to nowhere appeared.

[You have found a hidden dungeon, the Queen of Spiders, Alishi's Nest.]

[You were the first to make this discovery.]

[Your fame is rising.]

[You get 2 times the skill from hunting inside the Spider Queen, Alishi's Nest. The item drop rate is also double.]

He was the first to discover this hidden dungeon!

No one had ever entered, but the entrance was right before his eyes.
