Dungeon House 54

Dungeon House chapter 54

Aaaah  <邪! Kwajik!

Skeletons were smashed by monsters with trolls' huge arms in the body of orcs. However, new skeletons took their place.

Shhhhhh! Fu fu fu!

In the meantime, a bone arrow and a bone javelin shot from a distance were pierced. The monster that was pierced through the head and body at once fell down, and after a while it collapsed into a mass of slime. However, after some time passed, the slime turned into a monster and rushed in.

Skeleton corps that are newly summoned even if destroyed. A group of mimicking monsters that return to slime after death and take on the form of a monster again.

Literally, there was a constant war of attrition. Originally, the disadvantage was on the side of the skeleton.

It's pushed out of the way in the first place. The total number of the summoned Skeletons was less than three hundred. On the other hand, the number of monsters whose slime had changed was over five hundred.

The same was true for quality. About two-thirds of the less than three hundred skeletons are just normal skeletons. The monsters that have changed the slime have a bizarre appearance, but they have the power of large monsters such as trolls, orcs, and owl bears.

Still, the war between the Skeleton Corps and the Mimic Monster Corps was in a tight balance.

It was for three reasons.

One was the geography.

It wasn't like I didn't do anything for a day after I demolished all the caves. Hyun Bok and Chris created a defensive terrain in preparation for battle, and thanks to that, they were able to continue the battle to their advantage.

The second reason was the existence of Chris, Castle and Kai.

The defense line was maintained without collapsing thanks to the Skeleton Mage, Skeleton Warrior, and Skeleton Knight led by them, who roamed the battlefield and dealt with mimic monsters everywhere.

The third reason was the magic of conquest.

In addition to the magic that continued to assist the undead, Hyeonbun continued to summon and supplement the skeleton. Thanks to this, a tight balance was maintained.

However, it is not long for this balance to be maintained. The owner of the den thought so.

Even in the eyes of the owner of the den, this dungeon explorer is definitely strong. Because he summoned over two hundred undead with his own power and dealt with it. I've never met someone like that before.

But in the end, even if you are excellent, you are still human. The power he had, the total amount of mana had to be limited. Moreover, since he was the owner of the den, who kept watching while the cave was being demolished, he had already grasped the limits of his existence to some extent.

Thirty minutes have passed since the battle started, and, as he predicted, within 20 minutes, the mana of the present will be depleted. If that happens, the skeleton will no longer be covered, and as a result, it will be devastated by the mimicry monster corps.

This was his calculation, and it was the reason he was overdoing it, confident of his victory.

Yes. The owner of the lair, the doppelganger, was in a group.

Mimicked monsters are not simple clones. To be precise, the mimic monsters are his counterparts.

He is a doppelganger, but not a complete doppelganger.

The original doppelganger is a superlative monster. Even a lower doppelganger can fully mimic a human and absorb and use both memories and experiences. It means that there are no monsters that can only come out of a D-class dungeon.

Still, the reason he exists in the D-class dungeon is because he is not a complete doppelganger.

He's a doppelganger, but he's an incomplete doppelganger.

He lacked some of the abilities he originally had as a doppelganger. For that reason, he had to make the mimicry monsters that were originally supposed to be his subtypes into isotopes.

Creating an isotope is like creating another self. In other words, you are breaking yourself apart.

both physically and mentally.

The body can regenerate, but the mind cannot. After his mind was shattered, he lost his ego and could even forget his existence.

But it was impossible not to create an isotope.

Because the lower body, one's own clone, has weak mimicry ability, so it's impossible to mimic it into a being capable of properly demonstrating combat power. That is why the sub-body was not used for anything other than surprise and information gathering.

Instead, there were benefits to be gained by making isotopes. By mixing the traits of the monsters that he can mimic, he was able to mimic the monsters stronger than before.

Due to the immaturity of the spirit of the newly split isotope, it was disguised as a bizarre monster mixed with various monsters, but it was gradually adapting and evolving into a more powerful monster.

By absorbing isotopes that have been destroyed to the point of death, they can also absorb experience. Instead, I had to bear the mental burden of accepting the memories when they were destroyed.

The reason they were overdoing it was because there was a reward for winning.

Just as the difficulty of the dungeon increases by that much if you kill a strong dungeon explorer, the boss monster will also benefit.

In his view, the strength of Hyeonbok is the best among dungeon explorers!

I was convinced that if I killed him, I could get closer to a more complete doppelganger. So it was constantly being pushed.

[Kill! Destroy it! trample it! for yourself! To win!]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! hey hey hey! hey hey!

The doppelganger, holding himself as the biggest piece, exclaimed with will. The mimicry monsters, which are peers, roared together and rushed even more fiercely.

The battle continued.

10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes

However, even after the time he had expected, the battle was not over.

At first, I thought that the other party was overdoing it too. That's why he made more isotopes and pushed them firmly. Still, the Skeleton Corps did not think about collapsing.

Even if destroyed, new skeletons were constantly summoned to take their place.

[why! why!]

"You must be wondering why it doesn't collapse."

[…] …

The doppelganger couldn't help but be astonished at the sudden words of his opponent.

In the midst of this, Hyeonbok continued to speak as if to listen.

"There is a limit to the amount of mana a human can possess at one time. You probably came out with an all-out war for that. Because the total amount of power in the first place is thought to be overwhelming. And that's the only card you have in this situation."

The doppelganger, irritating his opponent's words, immediately charged one of his powerful isotopes. The mimicry monster that surpassed the skeleton corps at once swung the Werewolf's sharp clawed arms with the strength of a troll.

Aaaaah!

"Bone Spear!"

However, such a mimic monster could not achieve its purpose and was mercilessly pierced by the bone sphere used by Hyeonbok.

Then the mimic was released and it became a mass of slime and began to move. Of course, it wasn't Hyeonbok to look at.

"Fireball."

Whoops!

The slime that had run away was burned as it was. But the doppelganger didn't care, as this had happened several times. Now, more than that, I wanted to keep Hyeon-bok's mouth shut again.

" is only a 4 circle wizard. I'm not bragging, but it has more mana than a normal mage, and since it's a necromancer, it can replenish mana from a corpse. Although it is impossible on this battlefield where there are no corpses."

When a mimic monster dies, it returns to a slime mass, but it doesn't really die. In any case, he was still alive except for the mimicry to be released.

"Originally, mana should have been depleted earlier. But my mana is still in perfect condition. Don't you think it's strange?"

At Hyeon-bok's words, the doubt that the doppelganger had been struggling to bury raised his head.

"I will teach you the answer."

Saying that, Hyeon-bok pulled something out of the pocket of his Barbary coat. It was an iron box. It was slightly larger than the head of an adult male.

"The greatest weakness of necromancers as well as wizards is mana depletion. Without mana, wizards can't do anything. The wizard prepares a lot for the wizard to prepare for it. This is one of them. Simply put, it is a mana vault."

A wizard is one who prepares. Hyeonbok and Chris took measures to prevent the situation from depleting mana as the battle became longer. It was in Hyeon-bok's hands that it was made.

Crafting a mana vault is not complicated. Rather, it is very simple and requires a lot of hard work.

The box made of iron is engraved with a magic circle for absorbing mana from the outside, a magic circle that prevents it from escaping to the outside, and a magic circle that connects it to the final target. And inside it, it is full of artificial reports that can be called a medium to store mana. Of course, all of those gems need special processing.

The amount of mana that can be stored in the mana storage created this time is only enough to use 2 circle magic 3 times, or 3 circle magic once. In addition, the production cost is a whopping 80 million won per unit. Considering the cost involved, it was very inefficient.

"It was really inefficient. It also takes quite a while to recharge mana. but I mean It is important to measure efficiency in life, but there are times when you have to ignore it."

Saying that, Hyeon-bok continued to take the mana storage out of the barbari coat that had been enchanted with space expansion. And shortly thereafter, dozens of mana storages were lined up in the vicinity of Hyeonbok.

Yes. Hyeonbok ignored the efficiency and mass-produced the mana storage. Very inefficient. To mass-produce something that can only be stored with enough mana to use 3 circle magic once, costing 80 million won.

But without mana, the wizard can't do anything. It is a troublesome problem that can only interfere with the team and be killed by the enemy.

That's why I ignored the efficiency and mass-produced the mana storage. And through space expansion magic, he was able to carry a lot of mana storage. Because I limited the things I carry to only that.

"This is why I was able to fight you for so long."

Whoops!

The doppelganger clenched his teeth after hearing Hyeon-bok's explanation. But thanks to you, I was relieved. Because it's said that your enemies have limits.

In the end, this fight is a chicken race where the battle is about who gets to the limit first. He was determined to test everything.

"After hearing this story, you must be resolute, thinking that in the end, the one who reaches the limit first will be defeated. Unfortunately, the game has already been won. With my victory."

Hyeon-bok opened up the hand he was holding at some point. There was a small light in his hand.

Big.] Ah! hey hey! Kyaaaah!

As soon as a small light appeared, the mimicry monsters began to run more violently. He had good reasons. Because it was invaluable to doppelgangers and to simplistic monsters.

"This is your soul. To be precise, you are a soul that has been shredded."

[Ahhh-!!]

The doppelganger shredded his mind little by little to create isotopes. However, it was an act of slicing not only the mind, but even the soul.

Hyeonbok has been collecting little by little every time a monster that mimics a fragmented doppelganger's soul is burned.

Just for this moment.

"This was something I never even thought of. I hope you shatter your soul and give it to an alter ego

I mean, give it to me."

[Give it back-!]

[That's mine!]

[Give it to me… !]

[It's mine]

The doppelganger lost his temper. All the mimicked monsters howled and howled. Hyeon-bok's smile deepened even more.

"okay. it's your soul A piece of soul that is connected to you. And a soul that will teach you where you are. Nidhogg!"

Woo woo woo! thud! thud!

woo woo! 'Paaaah'!

Nidhogg, who had not appeared until now, appeared on the battlefield and immediately drank mana. And towards the sky, to be precise, the ceiling of the dungeon, Negative Breath was thrown out.

瓜Aaaaah!!!]]]

At the same time, the mimicked monsters screamed in pain in unison.

The ceiling of the dungeon.

A place that cannot be reached by any means, a place where it is quite difficult to reach and a place where there is no choice but to force a battle against the imaginary of the position.

That was the place where the body of the doppelganger with the largest soul fragment was located.

Hyeon Bok obtained more than a certain amount of soul fragments and was able to find the location where the largest soul fragment was hidden. He continued to talk to the doppelganger during the battle, a trick to keep him from noticing that he was finding his body through a soul connection.

And the operation was successful.

dump! dump! dump!

All the mimicked monsters fell in place. Not surprisingly, the one with the largest soul fragment was killed. The shock caused by it was also transmitted to the mimicry monsters.

It didn't stop at just falling down, but it started to return to a mass of slime without being able to maintain its mimicry.

In fact, the battle is over. However, Hyeon-bok kept his tension, pulled out his phone and used the dungeon app. And searched for quests through the quest search box.

[Lair of Doubtful Devil (D-Class)

Current headcount: (245300) people.

Quest Success Reward: Deposit 3 billion won, select 2 D-class items and acquire 1 Intermediate Mana Stone.

"after."

dump.

Hyeon-bok then sat down. In fact, Hyeonbok had reached its limit. Mana was not a problem thanks to the mana storage, but the use of magic consumes both stamina and mental power.

He was the one who would not have shown his impatience in front of the enemy.

[master. It's not all over yet.]

[So, be a little bit stronger. master.]

[Hang on a little more. Lord.]

The three of them approached Hyeon-bok, who had already fallen, and handed him a word. Hyeon-bok took off his mask, revealing his tired face, and said with a smile.

"okay. The finish should definitely be done. I have something to take care of."

Hyeon-bok got up from his seat and headed towards the slimy masses that were wriggling without being able to maintain their mimicry.

And after 30 minutes. After finishing all the work, he returned to his comfortable home.

[D-Class Named Dungeon. Den of Doubts.
