‘Oh, as expected.’

As I had hoped, it was a set item.

Moreover, looking at the effects, it was good enough to make any Summoner player go crazy for it.

Furthermore, since I also have summoning skills, I thought it was a perfect fit and decided to aim for the remaining accessories. I received the crystal from Ladels.

“Gathering the elements again? Thanks to you, I can breathe a sigh of relief.”

[Ding!~ You have acquired an Empty Elemental Crystal.]

[Favorability with Ladels increases by 1.]

‘Now I have to go to the Iot Kingdom again, right?’

To get the remaining 4 accessories, it seemed like I’d have to hunt until tomorrow.

This time, Sina is with me too.

At the same time, I was worried about the guys I met earlier, but I thought Aizen would have prepared countermeasures by now, so I decided not to worry about it anymore and contact Black Dragon.

[Connected to the conversation.]

━Oh, what’s up? The money should have been deposited properly.

“Actually……”

It was a simple request to allow me to use the passage as a hunting ground, but after hearing my words, Black Dragon responded as if he was a bit troubled.

━That’s going to be a bit difficult.

“Difficult?”

━Well, a few guilds attacked a little while ago. We lost the passage in the attack, so we’re preparing for war right now.

“……”

War……

No, wait, they lost it in less than a day?

I could see how much people underestimated the Absolute Guild.

Anyway, since they lost the passage and are preparing for war, it might be difficult to use it anymore.

‘Should I look for another dungeon?’

I couldn’t think of any particular dungeon, so I was at a loss when I saw Yua approaching me.

“Rudin-nim. What’s wrong?”

“Ah, I was going to go to the place we hunted yesterday, but they’re in the middle of a war.”

“War?”

Yua also seemed surprised, as if she couldn’t believe that the place that was fine until this morning was now in the middle of a war.

“Then we’ll have to find another dungeon.”

“I guess so.”

I answered as if there was no other way, but I was still disappointed.

If we had hunted hard there for two days, we would have gotten the accessories we wanted, but now we’re going to waste time wandering around looking for a dungeon.

Then Sina also approached and asked in a puzzled voice.

“Did something happen?”

“We were originally going to go to the place we hunted yesterday, but they’re in the middle of a war.”

“War…… If it’s the Iot Kingdom, it must be the Absolute Guild.”

Since we couldn’t go to the Iot Kingdom, which is in the middle of a war, Sina couldn’t offer any other solutions.

“Let’s go to the Iot Kingdom for now.”

“But you said they’re in the middle of a war?”

“Even if they are, it’ll be fine as long as we don’t enter the island where the village and the passage are.”

“Hey, let’s not do that and look for one here.”

“Here?”

“Yes, people have been searching for dungeons in the Iot Kingdom for over two months, so there won’t be many left. Compared to that, no one has discovered any dungeons here, so wouldn’t it be easier to find one?”

It made sense when I thought about it, but finding a dungeon here wouldn’t be easy either.

If it was that easy to find, Aizen or Lee Joo-ho would have found it already.

But since I haven’t heard anything about any discoveries so far, either everyone was on the wrong track, or you need an A-rank Exploration Skill to find them.

‘Come to think of it, I easily found the Mole Village and this Elf Forest, right?’

Of course, Yua found the Mole Village and I found the Elf Forest with Intuition, but I found these two when others couldn’t find anything.

Looking at that, it seems like the rank of the Exploration Skill is the problem.

‘Should I really try to find a dungeon?’

Moreover, I thought it wouldn’t take that long if I used Intuition, so I felt myself leaning towards that option.

“Then let’s try to find a dungeon here.”

Whether or not the dungeon we find has elements is secondary; I was curious to see what kind of dungeon would appear.

If it’s a dungeon that doesn’t give elements, I can just contact Aizen and hand it over to him.

“But will we be able to find a dungeon?”

“It probably won’t take too long.”

Because I’ll use Intuition.

Anyway, we decided to change our goal and search for a dungeon here. We left the Elf Forest, and I immediately used Intuition and my Exploration Skill to search for a suitable location.

‘Is it over there?’

There were many places I could sense, but I chose the closest one and started walking towards it.

“But Rudin-nim, you’re not just walking aimlessly, right?”

“I have to walk aimlessly. We don’t know the way anyway.”

“But you’re walking with such confidence.”

Sina asked suspiciously, perhaps because I was walking without hesitation.

I was just going where my Intuition was pointing, but it seemed a bit different to others.

‘Should I go to a different place like yesterday?’

But I didn’t have many gems left.

I had about 3 left, including Magic-grade and Rare-grade gems.

It would be a waste to use the Rare-grade gem here, so I had no choice but to use the 2 Magic-grade gems to find a dungeon.

‘But what if the place I find isn’t a dungeon……’

Should I use the Rare-grade gem then?

If it’s urgent, I can buy gems through the Cash Transaction Window, so I decided not to overthink it and continued walking, but I had to stop soon after.

“Rudin-nim. Aren’t there people over there?”

“Yes, there are.”

I don’t know about Yua, but there were red markers above their heads.

It was Lee Joo-ho’s group, without a doubt.

‘I thought they would be somewhere in this area, but I didn’t expect them to be here.’

Should I turn back and find another place?

As I was thinking this, the players over there, who were searching the surroundings, seemed to have spotted us and were pointing and shouting something.

And soon after, I could see most of them approaching us, and in front of them, I could see a familiar face I had seen before.

“Hey~ It’s Rudin, isn’t it? What a coincidence?”

“You seem to be doing well since you ran away last time.”

“Of course.”

Lee Joo-ho was talking to me in a friendly manner, as if we were close friends.

“I was alone back then, but not now.”

Lee Joo-ho was expressing faint hostility for some reason.

I sensed it from his eyes and tone, and I had a feeling we were about to fight.

So I spoke to the two next to me first.

“You won’t listen if I tell you to go back, right?”

“Yes.”

“……Don’t die.”

I sighed and said only that, and started counting the number of players around Lee Joo-ho and me.

Fortunately, there weren’t many.

Only about 40-50?

It was a number I could probably win against even in a rough fight, but realizing that I couldn’t even land a single hit on Lee Joo-ho when we fought before, I felt a little bit of tension and prepared to fight.

“Yeah, it would be a shame to part ways like this.”

With those words, Lee Joo-ho drew his sword and spoke to the nearby players.

“What are you doing? Go and get rid of them.”

But Lee Joo-ho overlooked one thing, and that was that I was using Intuition.

In my current state, I was confident that I wouldn’t lose even to the Apostle I fought before.

“Curse Flame!”

“Flame Brand!”

“……?”

Since Lee Joo-ho told them to attack, I thought they would rush at me immediately, but contrary to that, no one approached me and they were only using skills from afar.

[You have been afflicted with Curse Flame.]

[Fire Resistance decreases by 7%.]

[You have been afflicted with Flame Brand.]

[Fire Resistance decreases by 6%.]

[……]

[……]

‘Curse?’

As soon as my Fire Resistance dropped to -14% due to the sudden curses, fire attacks followed.

I guess I’ll take some damage from those attacks since my Fire Resistance is lowered, but.

“Jayer’s Guardian Shield.”

[S-rank skill, Jayer’s Guardian Shield is activated.]

The pillar of light created by Jayer’s Guardian Shield blocked all the magic attacks.

This was actually the second time I had used it like this, but unlike back then, this time it seemed to be blocking them well.

“Huh? What?”

“Did you use the skill properly?”

“Giant’s Charge.”

I used Giant’s Charge and ran towards them while they were momentarily flustered.

Just by colliding like this, their formation would be disrupted and it would lead to a melee, making it likely that they wouldn’t be able to fight properly.

Kwaaaaaang!!-

[Skill Damage! 13,784.]

[Skill Damage……]

“Damn useless.”

After eliminating a few players with Giant’s Charge, I could briefly hear Lee Joo-ho’s voice.

“Keep pouring it on! His elemental resistance has dropped, so we should be able to take him down in 10 seconds!”

‘Is that his true self?’

It was the complete opposite of his initial friendly demeanor.

At the same time, I sensed several attacks coming my way with my senses and immediately dodged all the magic falling on me by ducking and throwing myself backwards.

“Huh?”

“Don’t lose focus! Attack!”

The attacks momentarily stopped as I dodged without even looking, but they resumed at Lee Joo-ho’s shout. I dodged the attacks with Intuition and ran towards Lee Joo-ho.

I thought it would be best to eliminate Lee Joo-ho first, rather than the guys around him.

“Hoo, Iron Wall Fortress.”

‘Hmm?’

Whether he noticed my intention or not, Lee Joo-ho suddenly used Iron Wall Fortress behind him.

‘It seems like he used it to defend against rear attacks, but……’

I didn’t know his exact intention yet, but I didn’t have time to analyze it, so I didn’t stop running.

Also, as soon as Lee Joo-ho confirmed that I had approached a certain distance, he raised his sword from the bottom up.

It seemed like the skill that pushed me back before.

“Elsyke’s Phantom Shift.”

“I knew you would do that. Storm Blade!”

At that moment, Lee Joo-ho accurately grasped my position after I used Elsyke’s Phantom Shift and launched a skill called Storm Blade towards that location.

‘How did he know?’

It was a skill I couldn’t resist if I got hit, so my body had no choice but to be thrown back, but I didn’t want to be pushed back without any gains.

“Phantom Explosion.”

Kwaaaaaang!!-

[Skill Damage! 8,575.]

“Tsk, it’s not going to be easy, as expected.”

Lee Joo-ho, who spoke as if he was displeased with the fact that he had been attacked, took out a potion from his item window and drank it.

Well, the bottle itself looked luxurious, as if it was obviously an expensive potion.

‘How much money does he have?’

But that doesn’t change anything.

I dodged the incoming magic again and approached Lee Joo-ho, and Lee Joo-ho shouted at the surrounding players who weren’t even being helpful.

“You useless idiots! You can’t even hit him with that!”

To be precise, I was the one dodging.

Of course, I was predicting the trajectory of the magic with Intuition and dodging it, but it wasn’t perfect.

This is because they are now using area-of-effect magic on the ground after several attempts.

Kwang!- Kwakang!-

[You have taken damage. -471.]

[You have taken damage……]

My elemental resistance increased with Jayer’s Guardian Shield, but seeing that I was still taking damage meant that their elemental power was higher than my resistance.

Some magic was exploding in the air because it was lower than my magic defense, but it was a very small amount, so it was meaningless in the current situation.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’

Even if I took damage, there were plenty of guys around who could heal me, so I wasn’t worried at all.
