“I’ve only heard about the double dungeon, but when I actually went in, the experience gains were no joke. What do you think, hyung?”

“I’ve gone up quite a bit too.”

“Wow… … This is really crazy.”

As Park Dong-jae said, gaining experience points here was incomparably faster than in regular dungeons.

So, in a situation where it was difficult to even raise the level by 1, I raised it by 3. My current level was 248.

Hunters who come to dungeon 13 next time will not be able to enjoy this privilege.

This is because double dungeons usually disappear once an outsider enters them, resolving the instability.

It’s not for nothing that hunters consider entering a double dungeon a coincidence. It’s not a common occurrence.

During the move, nothing special happened to Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae.

In fact, in the original work, there were more than one or two instances where Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong fell into traps or took the wrong path and almost died.

It was even more so because it was a double dungeon that gave good rewards but made you enter with the intention of rolling.

But if you go back to the original memories and only use tweezers to select the safe route, nothing will happen.

Thanks to that, Kang-hoo was able to continue his strategy by training with Park Dong-jae on buff and maneuver combos.

In particular, Kang-hoo continued to provide intensive coaching to Park Dong-jae so that he could create various variables in battle.

A picture of a monster being hit by an unexpected attack by applying an acceleration buff to Kang-hoo and the monster at the same time.

A picture of a magical monster being ‘intentionally’ given an excessive amount of mental focus buffs, which actually prevents it from concentrating.

A picture of not intentionally giving a buff to Kang-hoo, but then giving it momentarily when he counterattacks a monster.

In this way, various boards were created, and Park Dong-jae developed his application skills by adapting to the flow.

Since Kang-hoo made up his mind and set the direction, Park Dong-jae’s learning also happened quite quickly.

Above all, Park Dong-jae really enjoyed the training because the synergy with Kang-hoo was maximized.

Furthermore, I was satisfied that I could play a leading role in other places where Kang-hoo was not present.

On the one hand, I also felt greedy.

I want to become a better buffer than I am now, and become the buffer that Kang-hoo always looks for first!

It was definitely motivating.

As we advanced through various training sessions, combining them with actual combat, we soon found ourselves in the main boss monster area.

The boss monster’s name is Deseo.

It is a humanoid monster with a boxer-like appearance.

In particular, the color of the glove worn on the fist changes depending on the situation, like an LED effect.

You have to kill this guy to activate the chance that Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong obtained in the original.

‘The first pattern of Deseo is to designate a rival. This is okay because I can accept it.’

Deseo selects one target at the start. This is called designating a rival.

It was very important to get designated because all aggro and attention was focused on the opponent.

In the original, Jang Si-hwan was designated as the opponent, so he had a hard time in the close combat situation in the beginning.

Since all the patterns were focused on the opponent, in other words, the hunters who were not the opponents were relatively safe.

‘Red Fist, instant death. Yellow Fist, all magic power evaporates. Green Fist, experience points gained when hit are accumulated.’

And I also recalled the memories of the red, yellow, and green fists that were called traffic lights.

A red fist dies instantly if you get hit. It may seem like such an unreasonable judgment could exist, but it is true.

This is the fist that you must be most careful with. At this time, you must avoid it unconditionally if you don’t want to die.

The yellow fist causes all magical power of the target hit to disappear and become 0.

It was true that it was a threat to Kang-hoo, but it was also a fist that could be used strategically if necessary.

To begin with, the total amount of magical power is small, and Gang-hoo’s magical power recovery mechanism is an ultra-fast magical power recovery caused by hypersensitivity.

Although it caused some pain, it did not render him incapacitated.

The green fist is a pretty good one, if you can ‘hit’ it well against Deseo.

The problem is that if you openly hit it, it’s a sure way to die. It’s impossible to hit it with an empty mind.

However, if you hit cleverly and accumulate experience points, the reward when Deseo dies will be significantly increased.

“Brother, are you okay?”

“Let’s just try it out for now. Then we’ll see if it’s okay.”

“I’ll keep the distance as far as possible. If I get too close, the aggro might just flow to me.”

“Let’s go like that.”

Kang-hoo nodded.

Since there was a pattern for designating the opponent, Kang-hoo didn’t have to worry about aggro.

It was an obvious and wise choice for Park Dong-jae, who knew nothing about it. He knew the buffer’s position well.

Caddeuk.

Kang-hoo took out one of the Mad Solarkid from his bosom and ate it. There were 12 left. There was still plenty.

“Dongjae.”

“uh?”

“Relax your shoulders. Let’s go.”

Kang-hoo tapped Park Dong-jae on the shoulder, whose voice was almost up to his ear, and ran forward.

Then, as if he had been waiting for it, Deseo greeted Kang-hoo and immediately extended both his fists towards Kang-hoo.

【’Deseo of the Storm’ has designated you as a ‘Competitor’.

Until you die, all of Deseo’s attention will be focused solely on you.】

A long written notification message.

To sum it up in one line, it means that I only beat one guy.

From Kang-hoo’s perspective, it was much more comfortable because he could be sure of Park Dong-jae’s safety. He was even thankful that there was a pattern.

Right then.

Kuoooooo!

Deseo roared.

Then, a group of monsters appeared from the surrounding forest area that was formed in a circle around the battlefield.

They were small Deseos that looked just like Deseo. The expression “little Deseo” seemed to fit well.

These guys are all equipped with yellow fists. Each time they get hit, their magic power will be reset.

In the original, Chae Gwan-hyung was in charge of the small Deseo, but now Kang-hoo was planning to cover both sides.

however.

Huh? Huh?

The little Deseos who had been appearing with great momentum suddenly started to run wild or their bodies were thrown forward.

He fell forward, pounced on his compatriot in front of him, and as he couldn’t control his direction, his fist flew into his face.

Park Dong-jae gave an acceleration buff to all of them.

The guys who received the unexpected benefit(?) couldn’t control their bodies that moved on their own and ended up causing an accident.

‘Nice timing.’

The board was laid out nicely.

Before Kang-hoo could cover it, Park Dong-jae had already made the decision and created the situation. It was the picture he wanted.

【Clone Technique】

【Shadow Walk】

Kang-hoo created a clone and attached it to Deseo. He just needed to buy him some time.

Then he sent a shadow to where the little Deseos were, and immediately changed places.

Eww! Kew!

In the meantime, the little Deseos were starting to get up.

So Kang-hoo dug into the center of the group and took out a good option to strike at once.

【Brain shock】

Area attack skill.

I placed a lightning strike exactly at the center point so that I could hit the entire group of little Deseo.

And then he returned to the shadow he had placed near Deseo. Everything happened in an instant.

The next moment.

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

Ewww! Eww!

A thunderbolt placed beautifully in the center of the group poured out a powerful electric current, striking everyone at once.

‘Good.’

Kang-hoo made a satisfied expression.

Thanks to Park Dong-jae’s wise judgment and messing up their steps from the start.

A drawing was created that shows how to effectively use brainwaves.

Otherwise, you would have had to use Brain Shock multiple times, or catch some of them with a dagger.

‘I won’t have any worries from now on.’

Deseo activates his own pattern like this from time to time.

This is a pattern that usually summons reinforcements, but all reinforcements target Kang-hoo.

At that time, if Park Dong-jae was helping me like he is now, it would be much easier to focus on Deseo.

Ugh!

Deseo, enraged by the annihilation of the support force, changed the color of his fist from yellow to red. It is an instant death fist.

Pfft!

At the same time, he kicked the ground with all his might and rushed at Kang-hoo like a dragon.

Because he was a quick-witted guy with a slender build, he could have been dealt a big blow if he let his guard down.

【Quick Evasion】

“Huh!”

Perhaps because I had twisted my body sharply in an instant to dodge, a natural gasp escaped from my mouth.

I was planning to use the guaranteed evasion chance activated by Park Dong-jae’s protection of the Earth Goddess on Red Fist unconditionally.

Although the confirmed evasion was currently activated, I had no intention of getting hit by the red fist.

Hoot! Hoot!

Deseo, who had been digging into Kang-hoo again, concisely delivered a one-two punch.

The movements were light and nimble, but the situation was very heavy in that the result of the punch was instant death.

at that time.

There was a movement of Deseo pulling his shoulder back to deliver a more effective blow to Kang-hoo.

Kang-hoo couldn’t look back at all because he had to focus on Deseo.

I knew that Park Dong-jae would use his buff skills irregularly during this time.

This is because, throughout the entire move, I had been training in sync with Park Dong-jae.

Kang-hoo was confident in Park Dong-jae’s assistance, so he advanced at high speed even in a threatening situation with the Red Fist.

… … ?

The moment when Deseo tilts his head while looking at Kang-hoo’s body leaning forward instead of backward.

【jump】

【Great Beheading】

Phew!

A lightning-quick strike from Kang-hoo, combining a leap and a slash, tore through Deseo’s side.

Kkwah!

Hood thud!

The blow was quite significant, as not only Kang-hoo but also Deseo was in a state of acceleration.

A catastrophic attack that would have torn apart the side and passed by in normal circumstances.

However, the damage was increased due to the acceleration of Deseo, which was approaching us here.

A piece of flesh on his side was torn into a fist-sized piece, as if it were a ball of minced meat.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Deseo, who sensed that he had suffered more damage than he had expected, swung his fist threateningly.

I thought that Kang-hoo would rush in again, taking advantage of this gap. It was a clever decision.

Kang-hoo glanced back and gave Park Dong-jae a thumbs up. The connection was made exactly as he had hoped.

Eh!

Within seconds, Deseo’s fist turned green.

Changing the color of the fist was possible at Deseo’s will, but there was a limit to how long it could last.

So if you used the red fist for a certain amount of time, there was a cooldown when the hold time was over.

In the end, he had no choice but to choose either yellow or green, but he chose green for now.

Of course, he doesn’t know that this punch accumulates preliminary experience points for the opponent.

By Deseo’s standards, the green fist is simply a much harder and stronger fist than the other fists.

‘I’m going to make up my mind to gain some experience. If not today, then this is the only chance I’ll ever get.’

Kang-hoo felt his body light and completely relaxed, and licked his lips.

Deseo’s punches are still threatening, but if you can land them well, you can turn danger into great opportunity.

A high risk, high return situation. It was an irresistible temptation.
