Episode 127. aid
Karen opened her eyes with difficulty and looked up at Jinseong Kim.
“… portion… second… .”
Kim Jin-seong did not move at all even after hearing those words.
Seeing that, Karen squeezed her neck with all her might.
“fat… Can you tell me… ! only once… Believe… Potion… please… !”
“… … .”
“Us… Attacked… They… Who is… I’m curious… Don’t… ?”
“… … !”
Jinseong Kim flinched slightly at those words. Karen, who saw hope in that sight, pleaded louder.
“listen… If you want… Potion… . or not… With these shackles… Even if it’s mana blockade… Release it or… !”
“That’s not possible.”
Kim Jin-seong, who answered firmly, took out a potion and began to slowly pour it into Karen’s mouth.
Every time Karen’s uvula moved, Jin-seong Kim could see Karen’s wounds healing surprisingly quickly.
One potion wasn’t enough, and Karen was only able to fully recover after using the last emergency potion she had prepared.
“Phew… .”
Karen, who was checking her senses by touching her completely regenerated body, soon looked at Kim Jin-seong.
“Thank you. “I owe you something again.”
Kim Jin-seong looks at Karen without answering.
After confirming that his gaze was directed towards Karen’s head, Karen opened her mouth with a sigh.
“This is my unique ability. “Even if you take a critical hit, you won’t die right away.”
The somewhat expected answer flowed from Karen’s mouth.
“shit. She didn’t want to show her abilities to anyone… .”
Kim Jin-seong asked Karen, who was muttering with a dejected face.
“So, what are the identity of the muscle pigs that attacked us?”
“… Nature Animal.”
Karen said with a stern expression.
“This is the clan that dominates area B16. Of course, it’s a clan that people living in this area can’t help but know about.
“He is famous for injecting illegal drugs into the body and remodeling the muscles and skin.”
Jinseong Kim nodded at those words.
Even now, the sight of muscular pigs with physical abilities that were difficult to understand was still pleasing to the eye.
“The trading post street we stopped by is also under the control of Nature Animal. Perhaps someone at the trading post reported our visit to the clan.
Still, since it wasn’t a Spanish clan, I thought it had nothing to do with Triunpo, so I let my guard down… .”
Karen, who was blaming herself, was reminded of a montage of herself held by the Master of Nature Animal.
Then, his expression hardened and he jumped up from his seat.
“Let’s get back to B15 quickly. “This is like Nature Animal’s home ground, so there’s nothing good about staying there for too long.”
* * *
Kim Jin-seong and Karen quickly moved to the B15 area along that path.
They stopped by the bank first, created their own accounts, and deposited all the money they had into Jinseong Kim’s account.
Afterwards, the place Karen took Kim Jin-seong to was not a restaurant, but the nicest-looking hotel in the center of the downtown area.
Eventually, I paid for a twin bed room for one night and went straight into the room.
“There is no place west of Area B as safe as this hotel.”
Karen explained to Kim Jin-seong, who had a puzzled face, and took a bite of the hamburger she ordered from room service.
“Because the clan that owns this hotel… .”
“Because it’s the Alpha Clan?”
“… “Do you know?”
Kim Jin-seong also answered while biting into a hamburger towards Karen, who looked a little surprised.
“Because ‘Alpha Hotel’ was clearly written on the entrance.”
Alpha Clan.
Even in the United States, where the largest number of clans entered the New World, it was one of the strongest clans in name and reality.
At the same time, it was also a place that maintained the undisputed number one position in the world for a long time.
Being hostile to the Alpha Clan was like an act of pretending to be at odds with the United States.
“No matter how vicious the Triunpo guys are, they wouldn’t have the guts to attack this hotel.”
“But 1 million blanc per night is too expensive.”
Kim Jin-seong blurted out, remembering the 1 million blanc he had paid at the front desk.
Karen answered him indifferently.
“Isn’t it cheaper than the price of life?”
“It’s cheap. “The potion I used to save you was worth 20 million blanc.”
“… … .”
Karen suddenly became silent and seemed to be concentrating on eating the hamburger in silence.
Kim Jin-seong’s voice continued to be heard in his ears.
“If you add to that the fact that they bought an expensive room worth 1 million blanc without even agreeing… .”
“No, isn’t it too much to add that?!”
Kim Jin-seong responded to Karen, who was angry, without even raising an eyebrow.
“Then shall we calculate and add the value of saving the life of the enemy against Franco?”
“… and!”
Karen stuck her tongue out and looked at Kim Jin-seong with a disgusted expression.
Deep down, I thought I was following Kim Jin-seong around and paying for his meals.

“I’m not kidding, so speak properly. How are you going to pay for your life? “I’m sure you didn’t intend to just use the money you got from the exchange and end it, right?”
“Of course not!”
Karen began to talk about what she had previously thought about.
“I was planning to go straight to the Demon Dungeon after eating everything.”
When Kim Jin-seong heard the word “Demon Dungeon,” he was able to recall someone he had forgotten.
‘Now that I think about it, I need to watch Dantillion again.’
It was only two days ago that we safely escaped from the Colosseum thanks to the Inkrusio phenomenon that occurred with the help of Dantillion.
Since then, so many things have happened that I forgot about it for a while.
“Originally, to make money, the correct order is to go to the mercenary guild or request center first, receive a request with a set reward, and then enter the dungeon.”
“however?”
“Aren’t we currently ‘officially’ inexperienced with dungeons?”
Kim Jin-seong nodded at those words.
Both of them have currently entered the New Continent while hiding their original identities.
“If you go to the mercenary guild as a new hunter, you can only receive level 1 demon dungeon requests. Or, it’s a request for a corpse disposal team of level 5 or lower… . “Aren’t your current skills low enough to apply for the body disposal unit?”
“… … .”
“First of all, everything I just said doesn’t make money. You have to earn a lot, about 10 million blanc… ?
In that case, wouldn’t it be better to clear a high-level dungeon that matches your level first and receive a high-difficulty quest that gives you a generous reward?”
Karen continued to persuade Kim Jin-seong, who remained silent.
“With your skills, you can easily clear at least level 5 demon dungeons on your own.
For reference, hunters who have cleared level 5 or higher have completely different levels of quests than new hunters. Of course, the remuneration is also much higher.
“In this city, you must have a dungeon clear level of 5 or higher to be considered a proven expert.”
“At what level dungeon do voids and phantom rifts spawn?”
Jinseong Kim, who was listening to the explanation, suddenly asked a question.
“Void and illusion? Both must be level 10 or higher… .”
“Go straight to level 10.”
Karen’s eyes widened.
“Level 10? “Not level 5?”
“why?”
“Are you saying that you know how difficult a level 10 dungeon is?”
“No, I don’t know.”
Karen’s face turned into an absurd expression at Kim Jin-seong’s answer.
“… You don’t know how precious your life is. Let me explain. Dungeons above level 10 have a completely different level of difficulty than dungeons with single-digit levels. To what extent… .”
“There’s no need to explain.”
“… what?”
“I’m not going to do it alone, I’m going to be with a reliable helper, so what’s there to be afraid of?”
“… … !”
Karen’s expression brightened noticeably at those words.
“What that means is that in the dungeon, my mana blockade will be released… ?”
“That’s not it.”
“… “Then what?”
Kim Jin-seong did not bother to answer Karen’s question, which turned into a blunt expression again.
I didn’t want to explain Dantillion, and it was obvious that even if I did, they wouldn’t believe me.
Instead, I just stood up and gathered my luggage.
“Let’s leave quickly. “I rested too long.”
Karen thought to herself as she stuffed the remaining hamburger into her mouth and packed her bags.
‘Are you really telling me to just act as a guide? I haven’t completely mastered the level 10 dungeon, so I’m not sure if I can provide a proper guide… .’
As he left the hotel room following Kim Jin-seong, he prayed in his heart.
I hope you get caught in one of the level 10 dungeons, which is the easiest.
* * *
The two took a taxi and moved to area B13.
Outside the window that only showed shabby houses, I suddenly saw a huge black portal covering the entire floor.
The taxi stopped at a place where there was a sign saying ‘Level 10 Demon Dungeon’.
Kim Jin-seong and Karen, who opened the door and got out, appeared to be wearing black masks that completely covered their noses and mouths.
“You probably didn’t get caught, right?”
Karen’s answer came to the ears of Kim Jin-seong, who was looking around and talking to himself.
“I don’t think it would have happened this time. “We took a taxi right from the basement of the hotel, so even if Triunpo guys were watching at the entrance, it would be hard for them to notice.”
Jinseong Kim nodded at Karen’s words.
In addition, the tinting was so dark that you could barely see outside from inside the taxi.
At that rate, it would have been close to impossible to check the two people in the taxi from the outside.
“Let’s buy some potions and go in.”
“No, that’s enough. “Let’s leave some extra money for her, just in case.”
“… “Are you going to run the level 10 Demon Dungeon Raid without any potions?”
“uh. “I just have to avoid all the enemies’ attacks, and you won’t die even if you get a fatal wound anyway.”
“… Say that now. “No, hey!”
Karen quickly followed Jinseong Kim, who walked straight to the entrance of the level 10 dungeon.
Kim Jin-seong, who had already arrived right in front, found two paladins from the Alpha Clan guarding the dungeon portal.
“Submit your ID.”
The paladins spoke in a businesslike manner toward the approaching two.
The two held out their hunter bracelets, and the paladins confirmed their identity by scanning the code inside the bracelet with a measuring instrument.
“Go in.”
After passing like that, the two soon stood right in front of the dungeon portal.
At a distance where you could enter the portal by taking just one step forward, Karen looked back at Kim Jin-seong with a nervous look on her face.
“Are you really going to go in like this? Again, level 10 dungeons are incredibly dangerous. It’s a place where it’s not easy to escape, let alone attack it.
Go back now and buy the potion first… .”
“I heard it’s okay because I have a helper.”
“No, how helpful it is that I am wearing shackles…” !”
Karen’s words, which she was shouting out of frustration, were cut off midway.
Jinseong Kim didn’t even listen to his words and dragged him into the dungeon portal.
As a result, Karen entered the dungeon against her will.
“under… . “I’m going to turn around.”
I muttered with a loud sigh.
But Kim Jin-seong still wasn’t listening to him.
As soon as I entered the dungeon, I heard a loud shout in my head.
[Why did you come back now!!]
The person who sounded very angry was none other than Dantillion.
