Room moving dungeon (3)
ridge.
Ding. Ding.
The floor is shaking. It’s a very faint thump.
If it were outside, I would have thought it was the vibration of a car or a subway passing by. That means the vibration itself is small.
But this is a dungeon. A quiet dungeon where at best only a weasel the size of a person’s arm crawls around.
This vibration should not be felt.
“… … .”
Hong Seok-young looked at his feet with a hardened face. Even if he rubbed the dirt with his fingertips, there was nothing he could tell in this state.
I should have brought Kim Chae-min.
If Kim Chae-min had been there, it would have been easy to find out what was underground.
It seems I wasn’t the only one who thought that way, as Hong Seok-young also opened his mouth with a regretful expression.
“Mr. Kim should be here.”
“What is he doing these days?”
It’s been almost two months since I’ve seen you properly. You’ve made excuses once or twice that you have something important to do, but I have no idea what you’re doing.
Even if you ask her what something important is going on, she keeps her mouth shut and pretends not to know. But before I forget her face, she comes by every once in a while to fix the magic of the pension… When I ask Imiseon, she tells me that she sometimes comes to the model construction site to meddle in various things.
“What are you doing? I find it hard to look at your face either.”
“Tsk.”
“It looks like it’s busy restoring its own territory that the Ark destroyed. I barely managed to coax it into staying put and not answering, so I just checked to see if it was alive.”
“Restore the territory?”
I looked at Hong Seok-young as if I had heard something strange. Hong Seok-young was also speaking with a face like he had heard something strange.
Wizards are picky about managing their territory. When creating a territory, they are picky and make excuses that others cannot understand. Almost no one can enter the declared territory except the wizard himself, and if the territory is damaged by someone else, like Kim Chae-min, it is common to throw it away as if it was someone else’s.
In fact, Kim Chae-min was being picky from the design stage, perhaps because he was thinking of creating a zone in the newly built model high school building… .
ridge.
The ground beneath my feet began to tremble faintly again, as if telling me not to forget myself.
“I can’t go and call him now, so let’s leave Mr. Kim alone for now… ”
Well, it’s not the first time a wizard has done something weird.
“How is it?”
I asked Hong Seok-young, who was looking down with his eyebrows narrowed. Hong Seok-young slowly got up.
I only noticed its presence after the vibration began.
Usually, this is either all or nothing. Either he’s so great that he can’t hide his pride, or he’s just a nobody who’s worse than an ant passing by.
Hong Seok-young shook his head.
“I don’t think he’s that great.”
“Are you sure?”
“hmm….”
Hong Seok-young twirled the wooden sword in his hand.
“I don’t think you need to worry about it since I’m going to close it anyway… but it’s better to check anyway.”
“I don’t mind.”
“I don’t know what kind of thing is crawling underground, but if it has even a speck of intelligence, wouldn’t it be a problem if it opens the door before we can get rid of the nukes?”
“Does an intelligent person show off his intelligence?”
“That’s right.”
Hong Seok-young held the sword upside down. The tip of the sword was pointed toward the floor.
“Actually, you shouldn’t be raiding dungeons like this. This is a special situation.”
“I know.”
“I told you I taught you well.”
Hong Seok-young stuck his sword into the floor. It was a wooden sword, but he went in as if he was cutting a black tofu. He pushed it in so far that there was almost no blade left. Hong Seok-young bent down and tightly gripped the sword handle that was sticking out.
“Do you know where the nuke is?”
“…why?”
“If that guy you mentioned pops out, destroy the nuke first.”
I looked up, wondering what the old man was talking about. Hong Seok-young smiled.
“Of course, he doesn’t seem to be that great, so don’t be too surprised.”
Kuung.
And the dungeon shook.
The magical power leaking out from Hong Seok-young covers my vision like fog.
“… … .”
The magic was quietly sinking. Even the occasional crawling sound of a fox had stopped.
The forest, where no sound could be heard, seemed like a fake forest made of models rather than a real forest. A forest made only of artificial trees and artificial flowers.
Kookookookook!!
The silence just now was the calm before the storm, as the ground began to shake violently. I recall the corpse of the dead fox that had collapsed the administrative building. My father, who had nothing left except for the name tag, and Yu Ji-eun, who died before my eyes without being able to do anything.
“hmm.”
Hong Seok-young did not lose his balance even in the midst of the violent shaking. Instead, he moved his magical power with a dissatisfied expression on his face and dug up the ground even more. The magical power inside the dungeon, exposed to the external magical power, began to twist here and there.
Even Hong Seok-young, who cannot see magic, will feel the fluctuations in the flow of magic.
But Hong Seok-young still hasn’t taken out his sword. Funny enough, I felt relieved at his confident attitude.
“…hmm?”
After a while, Hong Seok-young tilted his head and pulled out the sword he had stuck in the ground. The vibrations that had been shaking the floor also soon died down.
Hong Seok-young laughed in disbelief.

“This guy, he’s running away?”
* * *
‘So… I figured out the power.’
Hope said, twirling her hair with her fingers.
‘Even though it’s an escape pod, the plan is to eliminate the natives of the world they arrive at and take over the place, right? So of course, the escape pod has a rough idea of how to eliminate the natives efficiently.’
‘Then it shouldn’t be called an escape pod, but something like a fighter jet?’
‘Because there’s no way to attack directly? There’s no such thing as a missile. Well, of course, if you call it a suicide attack by just opening the door and jumping out, then I have nothing to say… .’
It couldn’t be said to be completely wrong, since you die three months after leaving the dungeon.
I think that from the perspective of the invaded, there should be that level of advantage.
I couldn’t leave the dungeon as it was, knowing that it was an alien spaceship. But even though I knew how to destroy the dungeon, I couldn’t do anything about it.
It would be best if we could eliminate all dungeons. However, since we don’t even know how many dungeons there are, that’s physically impossible. We don’t even know how many dungeons there are now, so what about the ones that will come out in the future? Furthermore, in the case of the Mont Saint-Michel dungeon, it’s impossible to conquer it.
‘And even if that’s not the case, there has to be a way to figure out if this world is right for us. It’s not a perfect fit here, but I guess we can find a way to adapt, which is hopeful… .’
Hope changed her words after receiving glances from me and Hong Seok-young.
‘I guess I saw the possibility that I could find a way to adapt. That’s pretty much it…’
‘Don’t just say something like that… No. Keep talking. I’ll listen to everything and then say it again.’
‘This is what my mom says when she scolds me.’
Hope shrugged her shoulders and continued.
‘Anyway, in that situation, I discerned the natives.’
‘Discernment.’
‘They are strong enough to threaten us. They also have the chivalry to protect their own species by opposing us.’
Hope nodded her head from side to side, looking both happy and troubled.
‘There are other conditions, but through that process of selection, several candidates are born.’
‘candidate?’
‘Yeah. The indigenous people… that is, the saviors of Earth’s human race. The human hero candidates who have the potential to wipe us out.’
“Ahhhhhh! Look at this guy.”
And now, the hero candidate was laughing strangely.
“Run away? How dare you run away? From me?”
I can’t understand why he’s so angry.
“Was that guy the only monster that ran away in front of you, teacher?”
“no!”
“Then why are you upset?”
“Don’t be annoyed!”
“What are you giving me now?!”
“Righteous anger!”
Isn’t that it?
Where on earth is this old man getting his age?
“If you had just stayed still, I wouldn’t have noticed, but you insisted on showing off! You ran away because it didn’t seem to make any difference! I hate people like that the most!”
“You hate all monsters, don’t you?”
“That too!”
I followed Hong Seok-young and sighed.
“And how can you be sure that the angles aren’t coming out?”
“hmm?”
“Well, I don’t know all about monsters’ habits….”
There is one difference between Hong Seok-young and me.
Even if I die a hundred times and come back up, I won’t be able to beat Hong Seok-young. But even if Hong Seok-young died a hundred times and came back up, he wouldn’t be able to see what I see.
I blinked.
Hong Seok-young’s magic power is still thick. It means that Hong Seok-young has complete control over his surroundings.
But thanks to that, I immediately noticed a purple mass of magic slowly crawling across the floor. It was an unpleasant color.
I didn’t even take out my weapon, thinking that I wouldn’t have any use for it since I was with Hong Seok-young anyway. That was just too stupid. My father taught me not to let my guard down no matter how low the dungeon level was. After all, it’s up to people to judge the level, and if they can’t find the hidden monsters, that’s the end of it.
You always have to be prepared for anything in a dungeon.
I picked up my sword. Yu Ji-eun’s sword. Since the dungeon was going to close anyway, I, like Hong Seok-young, went through the dungeon without hesitation.
“No! What if you set the forest on fire!”
“why.”
“Why… It’s hot!”
“Endure with spirit.”
“Oh my, I raised you too strong!”
“When did you say you raised him well?”
“It means that you grew up strong because you were raised well!”
Even if you say it’s justified anger, Hong Seok-young’s mood is not serious. Rather, he’s laughing and joking.
Suddenly, I realized that this old man pretended not to see that magical mass because he wanted to see how I would act. Yes. No matter how small, cute, and ugly the magical mass was, Hong Seok-young would not miss it.
I tried to step back, but I pretended not to notice and passed by. Yeah. If you’re fifty years old, it’s probably hard to move your body.
“however.”
“hmm?”
“I think we need to destroy the core.”
The fire generated from Yu Ji-eun’s sword should be considered to be mostly made of magical energy. It is not easily extinguished like ordinary fire.
Hong Seok-young’s magic. Fire from the sword. And even the magic of a fox or something.
The inside of the dungeon was as flashy as if fireworks had been set off. But in the midst of it all, there was a sound of someone slowly running away.
Hong Seok-young narrowed his eyes.
“Is this the direction where the nuke is?”
“You said that in order for a monster to open the gate, it has to come into contact with the core.”
“Then it’s certain that he’s intelligent?”
“I guess so?”
“Destroy the nuke first.”
At the moment when I was about to quickly run towards the nuke after hearing Hong Seok-young’s words.
“Heejae!”
Hong Seok-young grabbed my neck and pulled me back.
Kwaaang!
The place where I was standing collapsed. Through the dim magic fog, the ground beneath came into view.
Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.
The fox’s tentacles shook and made a clicking sound.
A civet, much smaller than the one I had seen in Seoul, but still of a size that could not be ignored, stretched out its body from where it had been curled up and crawled out of the hole.
