Ordinary Art Factor [EN]: Chapter 72

After revealing our identities, we entered the tent, catching snippets of disgruntled soldiers behind us checking licenses.

“Seriously, it’s like every Tom, Dick, and Harry is showing up. I heard even a Rank 7 from Jeju [Island in South Korea] is here.”

“Jeju? All the way from there? What’s a Rank 7 doing here…”

What do you think they’re doing here?

If they can help with the Clear… or to make money. Why else?

That sergeant looked young… I’ll get you later.

Inside the tent, dozens of Awakened were milling about, casually chatting while sitting on makeshift chairs.

We found some seats and I asked Han-deuk,

“Why did you come here? Couldn’t you contact the main branch staff or the local branch?”

“I did. They told me to wait inside this tent.”

“Oh, really?”

So, all the Awakened in here were recommended by the main branch or their local branches? Wait a minute, there are tents lined up all the way over there….

“Oppa [Korean term for older sister used by a female]~. Let’s just look around and head back.”

My thoughts exactly.

After a 40-minute wait.

No instructions or updates were given.

Instead of someone coming to find us, more Awakened entered the tent.

I had Han-deuk call the main branch and the local branch, but the lines were busy or no one answered.

After an hour and a half of waiting.

Still nothing.

There were no restrooms nearby, so I checked the convenience store and PC cafe… ten thousand won [Korean currency, roughly $8 USD]. Ahem.

After 2 hours and 20 minutes of waiting.

It was almost midnight.

I was getting a little hungry and sleepy.

Should we just go home?

I wonder if there are any flights to Jeju?

Should we find a motel or inn and get some sleep?

No money for that….

I smacked Han-deuk, who was engrossed in his phone game, on the back of the head.

After 2 hours and 50 minutes of waiting.

My stomach was churning.

What I thought was a great, bold decision was nothing more than a needle in a haystack, a minnow before a dragon.

“Hey! Let’s go. What are we even doing here!”

“Oppa~.”

“Hyung-nim [Korean term for older brother used by a male], it seems like the Clear is still ongoing outside. Maybe we should wait a bit longer….”

“Guild Leader! We came all the way here….”

“Forget it. They can handle it themselves. I’m leaving.”

“Heh heh, yeah~ let’s go too. What is this?”

“Haha, right. Should we go to a sauna instead?”

My voice must have been loud because the surrounding Awakened started to leave as well.

*Thump~.*

A slight tremor and the sound of artillery fire could be heard quite close by.

The noisy tent went silent in an instant, and everyone looked at each other, clueless.

*Thump~.*

Something fell right next to the tent….

*Tu-ta-ta-tang~ ta-ta-tang!*

“Cease fire! Cease fire! You son of a bitch!”

*Kieeeek… Kueeeek.*

“Shit! Zerglings! Target B, get out!”

With someone’s shout and the sound of gunfire inside the tent, the Awakened summoned their weapons and burst out of the tent, and we formed our battle formation.

“Battle Formation B! Mana Manifestation!”

Gil-su stepped forward, with Ji-hye and Mi-hye on the left, Choi Eun-ji and Kim Eun-hee on the right, and Han-deuk shouting from the rear.

“Rage of the Goddess Idea! Wall of Fire! … Ready!”

“Tears of the Goddess Idea! Wall of Ice! … Ready!”

“Lament of the Goddess Idea! Sea of Despair! … Ready!”

“Sigh of the Goddess Idea! Dew of Sorrow! … Ready!”

“Providence of the Goddess Idea! Personal Heal! … Ready!”

At the signal that the guild members’ magic spells were ready, I gave Gil-su the order.

“We’re going outside! Gil-su, tear down the tent!”

Gil-su swung his summoned greatsword.

*Thump~.*

*Kieeeek… Kueek.*

*Kueeeek… Kieeeek.*

“Only attack the warriors!”

“No magic! No guns! It’s a free-for-all!”

“Shields! Raise your shields!”

“Heal! Cast Bless!”

It was chaos.

Zerglings were swarming from everywhere, attacking Awakened and civilians alike, and some were already on the ground, being torn apart by the Zerglings’ sharp teeth.

“You sons of bitches! Manifestation standby! Summon entire Zealot force!”

[Ting! Summoning 310 Zealots (Upgraded +100%).]

With a blinding white light, hundreds of Zealots were summoned around me, and I shouted like a madman.

“You sons of bitches! Wipe them all out!”

Hundreds of enhanced Zealots spread out in all directions like a wave.

*Kieeeek… Kieek.*

*Kuwoowo… Kwauk.*

“What, what is that!”

“Z, Zealots! Zealots are attacking the Zerglings!”

“They’re allies! They’re on our side! The Zealots are helping us!”

“Warriors, drive the Zerglings into one place!”

Whether they belonged to a guild or a party, distinctions didn’t matter now.

In a situation where mages couldn’t use their magic and soldiers couldn’t use their firepower due to the chaotic melee,

a systematic response was needed.

If hundreds of Zealots could handle the upgraded Zerglings in the melee, the Awakened would react accordingly.

“Drive them to the right!”

I gave orders while recognizing the summoned Zealots and surveyed the surroundings.

Zerglings were rampaging everywhere, but the 2m tall Zealots were tearing the bastards apart with their long gauntlets.

If not surrounded by a large number of Zerglings, one Zealot could handle up to 4-5 upgraded Zerglings.

As hundreds of Zealots fought the Zerglings on all sides, the warrior-type Awakened began to gain strength.

But only for a moment. The Zerglings, which had been scattered, seemed to have some awareness, and began to gather in groups of dozens. The only reason they were gathering like that was to overwhelm with numbers since their individual attack power was lacking. Perfect timing.

“Summon entire Grub Tank force!”

[Ting! Summoning 20 Grub Tanks.]

With a white light, 20 wrinkled larvae, Grub Tanks, were summoned.

“Zealots, surround them!”

*Kieeeek… Kieek.*

*Kieek… Kieeeek.*

The Zerglings seemed to sense something and began to rush in one direction.

“Grub Tanks! Take out the clustered Zerglings first.”

*Kuuuung… Kwakwang. Kuuuuung… Kwaaang.*

The shells fired from the Grub Tanks’ rear ends exploded in front of the rushing or clustered Zerglings, scattering fragmented corpses and dark green blood everywhere.

“Gil-su, maintain the distance! 3 o’clock! Long-range magic manifestation!”

“Rage of the Goddess Idea! Wall of Fire!”

“Tears of the Goddess Idea! Wall of Ice!”

“Lament of the Goddess Idea! Sea of Despair!”

“Sigh of the Goddess Idea! Dew of Sorrow!”

*Kwang… Kwaaang.*

*Kuuung… Kuang.*

The Zerglings trying to escape from the guild members’ long-range magic attacks and the Grub Tanks’ shelling were brutally torn apart by the surrounded Zealots.

The Zerglings that occasionally broke through the encirclement were dealt with by other guild and party warrior-type Awakened, and as the number of Zerglings rapidly decreased due to the soldiers’ automatic rifles, the cries of the wounded could finally be heard.

“Cough, is there a healer?”

“Cleric, come over here!”

“Kuaaak, give me some healing!”

Looking around, it was a mess.

The corpses of civilians torn apart by Zerglings and the screams of the wounded.

The healers and clerics nearby rushed to the wounded, who appeared to be civilians and soldiers.

‘What the hell is going on? What’s happening with the Seoul City Hall Rank 3 Dungeon Clear?’

As the situation somewhat calmed down, I despawned the Grub Tanks and gathered the Zealots around me.

The number of Zealots remaining was about 260. Still seems okay.

Since the current situation was shrouded in mystery, I ordered the Zealots to protect me and the guild members until I could figure out what was going on.

“That’s the Zealot summoner over there!”

“Party leaders and guild leaders, come over here! Let’s figure out the situation!”

“Healers and clerics, gather the wounded to one side and please provide treatment.”

With the shouts around me, several Awakened approached me.

After a while.

Several usable tents were repaired, the wounded were gathered to one side, and electricity was drawn from nearby stores to provide light.

This was to transport the wounded to the hospital, assess the situation, and coordinate opinions on future plans.

“The casualties identified so far are 8 dead and 32 wounded. Mostly civilians and soldiers. The surprise attack caused a lot of casualties.”

“Hoo~. That’s serious.”

“Did the second defense line break? We can’t contact anyone, so we can’t know. Really.”

“So, you’re saying the Four-Star Guild and LC Guild failed to clean up the units after the dungeon broke….”

“That’s probably not the case. If they couldn’t get out of the dungeon, it means something else went wrong. We don’t know for sure. Let’s not be too certain.”

“Let’s start by organizing what we know. In the chaos, the Seoul City Hall Rank 3 Dungeon is Bio [Biological type], the Zerglings came from the dungeon, that’s about it, right?”

“The current status of the Awakened gathered here and whether the unit cleanup is in progress should be the first things we address.”

Guild and party leaders who were quite influential in their respective regions.

About a dozen ‘leaders’ gathered, but no special measures were proposed.

They agreed to prioritize treating the wounded and transporting them to the hospital, but opinions were divided on whether to clean up the spawned units or proceed with the dungeon clear.

Some organizations wanted to withdraw, others wanted to clean up the units, and some argued that they should wait and see what happens.

After watching silently for a while, a warrior-type man in his late 40s asked me.

“What do you think, Support Guild Leader?”

Suddenly, the local broadcast disappeared and a strange silence filled the tent.

They ask quickly.

Ahem.

“It’s chaos. We don’t know the cause, and we don’t know the situation. But I know one thing for sure: The Seoul City Hall Rank 3 Bio Dungeon has broken, and we need to clean up the dungeon units. Civilian casualties may still be increasing. I can’t just leave. Aside from moral conscience, I’m an Awakened. Besides, if it’s a Bio Dungeon, the unit corpses will be quite lucrative, right?”

“Heh heh. That’s true.”

“Hoo-eum. It’s been 17 years since it broke, so yeah, that’s right.”

“I agree. Anyone with an Idea Mirror [A device used for communication and recording], let’s use it for public use.”

“Good. Gwangju Defense Guild agrees.”

“Daejeon, we’ll join you.”

“Ulsan, we’ll participate.”

After I hinted at it, everyone except for two guilds and parties agreed. Gunsan and Mokpo Defense Guilds and parties, who arrived after the attack was over.

The funny thing was that they were just staring blankly at the Zealots standing outside, without any suspicion.

And no one around them was saying anything.

The power struggle between them was fierce.

3 hours and 40 minutes after arriving at the Seoul City Hall Rank 3 Dungeon Countermeasures Headquarters. (Current time: 1:30 AM)

Instead of people leaving, the number of Awakened increased.

The Gunsan and Mokpo Defense Guilds and party leaders, who had openly said they would leave, came to me separately and said they would join us.

Somehow, subtly, strangely, I had become the leader of these people.

Of course, there were recommendations from the guild leaders and party leaders, but the way the Awakened in their groups looked at me seemed to think I was a top-tier summoner.

Whatever, the top priority was to organize the Awakened by class as quickly as possible and head towards Seoul City Hall… but it was chaos again.

4 hours and 20 minutes after arriving at the Seoul City Hall Rank 3 Dungeon Countermeasures Headquarters. (Current time: 2:10 AM)

“We’re saying that Daejeon will support the Support Guild!”

“What are you talking about? We don’t need mage-centered Awakened. We have more warrior-type Awakened, so we should do it!”

“Wasn’t the Ulsan Defense Guild supposed to take charge? Why are you overturning it now! We’re saying we’ll do it!”

“Shouldn’t we just do it together? They’re saying they don’t need Support Guild supporters? Civilian casualties may be increasing even at this moment….”

That’s what I’m saying. Damn it~!

It doesn’t seem like this is the time to be fighting over such trivial matters?

4 hours and 50 minutes after arriving at the Seoul City Hall Rank 3 Dungeon Countermeasures Headquarters. (Current time: 2:40 AM)

I’m sleepy and tired.

Should we just rush ahead with our Support Guild first?

No.

They’re the supporters who will protect my neck, I can’t just leave them behind. Heh heh.

Still, it’s roughly settled, and we decided to analyze and settle the accounts later using the Idea Mirror.

For now, we’ll clean up first and postpone the settlement.

The number of Awakened from the defense guilds and party members who arrived at the Countermeasures Headquarters, recruited, and participated from all over the country was exactly 538.

234 warrior-type Awakened, 198 mage-type, 87 healers and clerics, and 19 other classes.

There was also a class called ‘Buffer’ here, and I heard some strange, nonsense about temporarily increasing the Awakened’s stats or increasing their mana.

No, it must be true.

I’m also an Art Factor in the mage class, but everyone thinks I’m a summoner, so it’s all the same.

Anyway, we set the positions for each class, and then divided them into teams and regions to start moving.

Naturally, I was in the center of the moving formation, and the guild members didn’t leave my side.

6 hours and 20 minutes after arriving at the Seoul City Hall Rank 3 Dungeon Countermeasures Headquarters. (Current time: 4:10 AM)

After an hour and a half of moving towards Seoul City Hall, dealing with the attacking upgraded Zerglings, Hydras, and Roaches.

There were several attacks and one large-scale engagement.

Among them, the Zealots thrown as scouts, decoys, aggro-pullers, and bait were the biggest contributors.

The Zerglings and Hydras attacking from the front, the back, and the outermost edge of the formation were primarily dealt with by the moving Zealots, and when the hidden Roaches attacked the Zealots, their location was revealed and they melted on the spot with fire magic.

Several Wyverns quickly disappeared from the 200 mages’ long-range magic attacks, and in the dangerous situations in between, the 20 summoned Grub Tanks caused the dungeon units to panic, not knowing where to attack first, regardless of location.

Even small twigs can’t be easily broken when bundled together.

Although there weren’t any Awakened of the highest rank (most people thought I was a top-tier, Rank 4 summoner), the fear of being ambushed disappeared, and as the dungeon unit cleanup proceeded smoothly, the Awakened’s morale soared.

Even though it was a dark dawn.

7 hours and 10 minutes after arriving at the Seoul City Hall Rank 3 Dungeon Countermeasures Headquarters. (Current time: 5:00 AM)

I had received Han-deuk’s healing and the blessings of the surrounding clerics several times, but my body felt heavy and I had a slight headache.

The reason was those mouths that were still chattering.

“You’re really amazing! How can you do this?”

“We should have brought you up from the beginning. It’s really a shame.”

“Still, we’ll proceed with the Clear once the spawned dungeon units are cleaned up, right? Right, Support Guild Leader?”

“That’s right! Of course. The more I see you, the more I realize what an amazing friend you are!”

“Of course, the Jeju branch manager praised you so much, and it’s no surprise that you live up to your reputation.”

“When I saw the Idea Mirror in the Jeju branch, I knew it right away. No, that was just the tip of the iceberg! Hahaha.”

“Haha, as expected! It’s the Support Guild Leader!”

The main branch executives who were hiding in the large supermarket’s food storage, surrounded by Hydras, upgraded Zerglings, and Roaches.

As soon as they rushed out after the dungeon units were dealt with, they started acting like that from before.

Is there a way to use them as bait or fodder instead of the Zealots?

It’s so noisy.

Annoying. Heh heh.

In the end, the Seoul City Hall Rank 3 Dungeon unit cleanup was mostly completed overnight.

However, the problem was the small number of units that were hiding here and there in the city or had not yet been discovered, and I heard that a large number of soldiers were being deployed to deal with them.

As expected, as soon as the sun rose, dozens of military trucks poured out supplies, including drinking water, and even more trucks carrying soldiers spread out in all directions.

Until yesterday, there were more Awakened and civilians than soldiers, but now there are soldiers everywhere around us.

The large tents also seemed to be more numerous than what I had glimpsed yesterday, and the number of Awakened also seemed to have increased quite a bit.

I’ve roughly grasped what the situation is, so I need to wash up and get some sleep.

I’m so sleepy.

Han-deuk and Gil-su left to check out nearby motels and saunas, and Ji-hye and Mi-hye went to the bathroom. I came into the restaurant tent with Kim Eun-hee and Choi Eun-ji to have a simple breakfast and waited for our turn, when I heard an interesting conversation between young Awakened who had finished their meal next to us.

“… I heard that the Support Guild cleaned up most of it.”

“Oh, I heard that too. I heard that the guild leader there is a perfect summoner? They even handle spirits.”

“Huh, a summoner and a spiritist? A multi-class?”

“Probably. I heard they initially summoned 300 Zerglings, 20 Roach Tanks, and even Dragoons?”

“Damn it! How high are their stats?”

“Rumor has it, they’re either Rank 3 or Rank 2.”

“So, will we see an SS-Rank in our country too?”

“No, I overheard some executives from the Association saying it’s Rank 7?”

That’s right, young friend.

Meanwhile, Kim Eun-hee and Choi Eun-ji next to me are trying to hold back their laughter, faces contorted.

“… Dude! Are you crazy? How many units have they summoned so far, and how many people have seen it! Say something that makes sense!”

“… Are you an idiot? You’re Rank 7, not that person!”

“W-Well, I definitely h-heard it that way….”

“This bastard! They said the newbie in the Support Guild is Rank 7!”

“A new guild member?”

“Yeah. You gotta listen properly and spread the word properly, you can’t just make stuff up.”

“I-Is that so? Did I hear wrong? Well, it’s possible. If the guild leader is Rank 2 or 3, then Rank 7 would be the minimum requirement for a guild member.”

Oh, really?

It’s getting better and better.

Choi Eun-ji collapses on the table, clutching her stomach and making ‘끅끅~ [geuk geuk – Korean onomatopoeia for stifled laughter]’ sounds.

“Did we even have a guild like that in Jeju?”

“I don’t know, you idiot. Didn’t you see the Association executives sucking up to them? They were like housebroken puppies.”

“Hahaha, I laughed so hard when I saw that.”

“Me too. Hehehe.”

“The Support Guild is the best!”

“I know, I want to join the Support Guild too~”

“Me too~”

So, they were aspiring comedians~ Okay.

But finally, Kim Eun-hee and Choi Eun-ji burst out laughing next to me.

“Kyahaha~”

“Hehe, ah~ my stomach, it hurts! I-I can’t breathe~”

Hey, young friend, are you Hong Gil-dong [a famous Korean folk hero who could not call his father ‘father’]?

Unable to call your father ‘father,’ unable to speak the truth as it is….

And you guys, why does your conclusion always end up like that?

I’m standing here awkwardly, while Kim Eun-hee and Choi Eun-ji’s laughter gets louder and louder.

How embarrassing.

Oh?

Some people look over here because of their laughter, then they look at my face, tilt their heads, and then look at the people next to them… Okay.

I can’t eat here.

Let’s go.

That day, 1:30 PM.

I roughly washed up, roughly ate, and roughly slept.

I talked to my wife, my mother, and my mother-in-law… Ah, why?

Why are they constantly calling!

The Jeju branch manager, the head of the Association’s support headquarters, and executives keep calling.

How annoying.

“Hyung-nim [term for older brother or respected male figure], please just go?”

“That’s right. Who knows, they might be calling you for an important matter?”

You guys!

You want to send me alone so you can rest comfortably?

I won’t let that happen again.

“Go Han-deuk, Choi Gil-su, Vice Guild Leaders~”

“Yes, yes.”

“Yes. Party Leader.”

“Lead the way.”

Shortly after, 2:10 PM.

I entered the newly created Seoul City Hall Rank 3 Dungeon Countermeasures Headquarters tent, and as expected, it was exactly as I thought.

“So, shouldn’t we organize the personnel around the Support Guild Leader!”

“That’s not what we’re talking about! Why is the Gyeongnam branch deciding on personnel allocation, that’s what I’m saying! If we’re talking about efficiency, shouldn’t the Gyeonggi branch be doing it?”

“If we’re talking about efficiency, it’s Jeonnam! Are you aware that our mage ratio is 13% higher than other regions?”

A dogfight, full of selfishness and vanity, fills the tent.

I don’t even need to ask about the situation, it’s obvious.

“Ahem. May I say a word?”

I pretend to ignore why they’re arguing and start to speak.

Only now do they realize I’ve entered, and a few coughs erupt.

“Oh~ when did you get here? First, take a seat and speak. Support. Guild. Leader.”

The head of the Association’s support headquarters welcomes my words with a bright expression and reminds everyone who I am. I slowly sit down in an empty seat, look around, and say in a firm voice.

“In three hours, we will proceed to clear the Seoul City Hall Rank 3 Bio Dungeon with a minimum of 50 Rank 7 Awakened warriors, 50 mages, and 100 healers and priests. Region, age, gender doesn’t matter. Please prepare your own water, emergency rations, and potions. That’s all.”

I simply and concisely notified them, then got up from my seat and walked out.

I could hear them calling me from inside, but I ignored them.

“P-Party Leader. Will it be okay?”

“Shouldn’t we be sending in as many people as possible? 200 people is not even half the number of Awakened who have entered so far….”

“Rejected. That number is just right. If there are too many people, there will be confusion in the instructions, it won’t be systematic, and there will be no cooperative play. You felt it yesterday.”

“Hmm, Hyung-nim, you’re right, but….”

“Do you want to be right?”

“…….”

“Isn’t it fun?”

“No.”

I guess my jokes are outdated now.

Anyway, I’ve rolled the dice, so they can move the words or overturn the board, they’ll do well on their own.

The things I’ve hated the most while living are armchair administration, indecisiveness, and hypocrisy.

Right now, I’m the ‘gap [the one in charge],’ and they’re the ‘eul [subordinates].’

That’s right, which guild has the Idea Mirror?

I need to borrow or buy one.

6 PM, Seoul City Hall Random Rank 3 Bio Dungeon entrance.

Hundreds of Awakened have gathered, but the surroundings are quiet, almost silent.

The warrior-type Awakened are located at the dungeon entrance, with me and my guild members in the middle, the mage-type Awakened, and then the healers and priests in the back. An enormous crowd is watching us from the rear.

Including the Awakened Association staff, the Awakened from all over the country who gathered at the countermeasures headquarters, soldiers, police, firefighters, rescue workers, government officials, and even some hidden reporters.

As thousands of eyes turn to me, I feel a sense of responsibility and feel like I need to say something.

“… From now on, we will proceed to clear the Seoul City Hall Random Rank 3 Bio Dungeon. For a smooth clear, I will speak informally from now on.”

Someone’s magic amplification spreads my voice far and wide.

“As everyone knows, we only know the type of dungeon, and we know nothing about the characteristics of the units inside. There is nothing confirmed about the unit characteristics, species, dungeon terrain, or whether it is a multi-dungeon. Also, this is the first time a Rank 3 dungeon has appeared in Korea, and it is also the first time we are clearing it, and we don’t even know the fate of the Awakened who have been put into the dungeon.”

“It may be bleak, and it may seem reckless, but I can say one thing for sure.”

“Be faithful to your role and cooperate with each other. Obey orders and communicate with each other.”

“Then, a mere Rank 3 dungeon will be cleared, and it will be cleared. The me standing here! The you standing there! Will. Clear. It.”

“Seoul City Hall Random Rank 3 Bio Dungeon Clear, enter. Mages, unleash your magic!”

“Rage of the Goddess Idea! Wall of Fire! … Ready!”

“Tears of the Goddess Idea! Wall of Ice! … Ready!”

“Lament of the Goddess Idea! Sea of Despair! … Ready!”

“Sorrow of the Goddess Idea! Dew of Sorrow! … Ready!”

“Goddess of Idea… Ready!”

The magic spells shouted by the 50 mages and my guild members standing next to me spread widely across the quiet evening sky.

You can just recognize your magic and chant the spell, but they shout and scream the spell as if it’s their own hobby or scream.

By the way, the magic spell completion report called ‘Ready!’ which is used for preparation, completion, and installation, is only used in the Support Guild….

Okay.

Anyway, it’s a good phenomenon.

Now, let’s go in.

Into that dungeon of ignorance.

I shouted loudly and firmly.

“En! Ter!”

“Enter!”

“Enter!”

As I listened to the ‘Enter’ shouts of the 50 warriors and the ‘Enter’ shouts of the mages moving with me, I entered the dungeon of ignorance.

Seoul City Hall Random Rank 3 Bio Dungeon Clear Entry 0 hours 01 minutes

As soon as the dizziness subsided, I heard shouts from all directions.

‘Kieek… Kieek.’

‘Kuaaak… Kuaak.’

“Don’t scatter!”

“Stick together! Stick together!”

“It’s nothing! This much is okay!”

“Tears of the Goddess Idea! Wall of Ice!”

“Lament of the Goddess Idea! Sea of Despair!”

‘Kwaaang… Kwaaang’

“Who is it! Don’t use magic!”

“Damn it! Who’s trying to kill us all by throwing magic in a melee! Who is it!”

As expected, words and reality are different.

Has it even been a minute since entering the dungeon?

It’s already not working out like this….

Anyway, dozens of speed-up Zerglings and Hydras were attacking the warriors who entered first.

“I thought it would be like that anyway. Zealots, Dragoons! Summon all!”

[Tring! Summons 187 Zealots (Speed Up +100%).]

[Tring! Summons 32 Dragoons.]

“Warriors, get out! Zealots, Dragoons! Clean it up!”

I gave instructions to the summoned Zealots and Dragoons, and summoned and wore the Zealot’s upper armor, Awakened gloves, cloak, and boots.

Seoul City Hall Random Rank 3 Bio Dungeon Clear Entry 0 hours 20 minutes

As the situation at the dungeon entrance was quickly cleared, I ordered the warrior-type Awakened to prepare a base, and then summoned a Probe.

Rank 3 Bio Dungeon.

I don’t know what will happen, so I will use Zealots, who don’t consume gas, for scouting, guarding, bait, and bait. Of course, there are other uses too.

“Create Crystal! Create Gateway!”

‘Poo… Chi… Chi Jik.’

“Create Force! Create Dragoon Core!”

‘Poo… Chi… Chi Jik.’

The crystal and gateway, force and Dragoon core created with the blue light rising from the dungeon floor.

The Awakened who were setting up the base tent stop and look at me with strange astonishment.

Our guild members are just another group of spectators watching them.

Is it your first time seeing a building?

Anyway, I had a plan before entering the dungeon.

Most of the Awakened, guilds, parties, governments, and associations in Korea are watching this Seoul City Hall Random Rank 3 Bio Dungeon, and my abilities have become known to some extent while cleaning up the dungeon units that have exploded.

Since I’ve decided to show it, I’ll show it properly.

That’s why….

I took out a lump of mineral from the inventory and handed the Idea Awl to Han-deuk without saying a word.

“… Haa~. Yes.”

As soon as he received the awl, Han-deuk sighed and sat down on the dungeon floor, stabbing the mineral.

Han-deuk’s shoulders, stabbing the mineral, are drooping, looking like a sick old hen pecking at feed.

Whether he does or not, he continuously absorbs the thumbnail-sized mineral fragments and begins to create defensive buildings, surrounding the base.

“Create Defense Tower! Create Defense Tower! Create Defense Tower! ….”

‘Poo… Chi… Chi Jik.’

“Create Gateway! Produce Zealots! Produce Zealots! ….”

Dozens of defense towers were built on the border of the base, and additional gateways were created around them.

And Zealots are produced from the gateway,

“Create Speed Up Core! Create Land Core!”

‘Poo… Chi… Chi Jik.’

The Speed Up Core and Land Core were also systematically equipped in one fell swoop.

Now, all that’s left is to produce ‘that’ as planned.

Before that,

“Status Window!”

‘There are 150 gas fragments….’

I checked the remaining gas fragments after creating the buildings so far.

Mineral fragments can still be absorbed continuously, but gas can only be absorbed by destroying the Bio Dungeon Mature Tower or the Armored Dungeon Nexus. Dungeon clear is a bonus.

This Rank 3 Bio Dungeon is 32 times larger than the Rank 6 dungeon, so there may be several multi-dungeons, but don’t be mistaken.

I learned a lot while clearing the City Hall Rank 6 Armored Dungeon in Jeju, but the most important criterion for clearing a higher-level dungeon is to destroy the multi-dungeon first.

The first button to destroy the multi-dungeon is to find out the existence and location of the multi-dungeon.

At the same time, I have to find the Awakened who entered first and the civilians who were eaten when the dungeon appeared….

If they are alive.

Securing mobility for that is essential.

Mobility is, of course, ‘Shuttle’. Furthermore, if you only have minerals, you can produce up to the crystal’s available capacity limit, the movement speed is fast, and you can avoid the attacks of the dungeon’s ground units, so it’s a win-win-win.

I recognized the Land Core and shouted forcefully.

“Produce Shuttle!”

Everyone is an Awakened, a warrior type, so the temporary base was completed in a short time.

In fact, I just took out the tent that I had put in the inventory and set it up.

Most of the Awakened are just staring blankly, mindlessly, and meaninglessly at me, regardless of whether they have anything to do or not.

The base was formed within a radius of 50m from the dungeon entrance, and defense towers were located sporadically on the border.

Defense towers built at intervals of approximately 7-8m.

Next to the defense tower is a gateway, and around the gateway are dozens of Zealots, and next to it is a crystal, and next to the crystal is another defense tower.

In other words, they created a wall on the border of the base with buildings. Of course, it is a wall that defends itself when Bio Dungeon units approach.

And inside that wall, I patted Han-deuk on the shoulder and told him to split the minerals more diligently, and continued to produce shuttles.

“Produce Shuttle!”

[Tring! The total amount of possessed artifacts has exceeded the standard. Cannot produce shuttle.]

Um, this is the last one.

It took a while because I only produced shuttles from one Land Core due to the lack of gas fragments.

It’s only 4 minutes per shuttle, but it took about an hour and a half for a total of 23 shuttles?

About 20 shuttles floating 20m above the Land Core.

Even I think it’s spectacular.

Flying dinghy.

“So, you’re saying we should operate a reconnaissance team? Then how do we organize the personnel? Guild Leader.”

“What personnel organization? Everyone moves together.”

“Yes? E-Everyone?”

“Yes. Who’s going to scout, and who’s going to stay behind? What are you going to do when the dungeon units rush in?”
