chapter 34
The last elite golem was knocked out by Do-jin’s magic.
True to its name, the ‘unstable iron steel golem’, the place where they died was popping up with stone fragments due to the intense mana reaction.
“Um, is that a magic stone? I’ve never seen anything so dark!”
Teresa was amazed when she managed to find the magic stone among the protruding stone fragments.
As she said, the magic stones left by the elite monsters had a much darker color than normal magic stones.
This means that the amount of mana contained is large.
‘Among the lower class, it must be a high quality item.’
Dojin glanced at it and immediately measured its value.
How many years have you been a wizard?
Unless it’s a special magic stone, if you look closely, you’ll get a rough angle.
“How many of these came out? You have to measure it to know, but wouldn’t it be possible to get 100,000 won per piece just by looking at the color? It’s already been said that there is a shortage of magic stones for sale these days.”
Do-jin laughed at Teresa’s simplicity, which showed excitement.
At least 300,000 won worth of goods and 100,000 won?
“You’ll have to run the meter to find out exactly, but if it’s that color and size, you’ll be able to get at least 300,000 won.”
Teresa’s eyes widened to the size of a bell.
Four, three hundred thousand won… … ? He asked if his tongue was twisted with a strange pronunciation, and began to dig up a pile of stones that would naturally scatter into mana in a little while.
“Constant! pick it up quickly! Soso, come quickly and help! If the monster regenerates like this and runs away, you might lose everything.”
“… are you a person You just saw me get hit in the ribs by a golem and fly away.”
“I want to rest.”
“Child… … ! Kim So-so, if you find all of these and pick them up, I’ll go with you to the cafe you asked me to go with.”
“O-eok, Kim So-so, let go of this! Pick it up yourself! Aww! OK, I’ll pick it up. You can pick it up! Don’t kick the ribs! No matter how much it is a game, it feels strange to get hurt and get hit!”
After a while, the monster’s corpse will evaporate anyway, so I won’t have to suffer.
Shaking his head, Dojin moved to the point he had been looking at.
‘I think it was about this.’
It was a place where a heterogeneous sparkle could be seen the moment the enemy stopped breathing.
The fact that a foreign spark caught my eye during battle means that there is a high probability that something other than japtem or magic stone came out.
Do-jin broke down the piles of stones around him with telekinesis.
Kurleung.
‘Also.’
There was no way the dead person’s eyes could mistake the glitter when the item fell.
The corners of Dojin’s mouth went up.

Iron Steel Bracelet.
It was a thing that Dojin was familiar with.
The magic iron accessories spit by the unstable magic steel golem, an elite monster in <Closed Iron Ore Mine>, are items that have become synonymous with cultivating emperors.
In terms of stats alone, it’s a trinket around level 40 that isn’t that great except for the mana recovery option.
Thanks to the advantage that there is no restriction on wearing, it has been steadily loved.
‘What was the market price then? The bracelet was about 500,000 won, right?’
The future after 15 years.
It was an item that was priced at 500,000 won even at the time when all items were released as soon as they were released.
However, now is the era when all equipment items are precious.
Even considering that their own options weren’t that great, they could have gotten hundreds of them.
Do-jin, who packed something that would make a big profit even if he shared it with the party members, happily turned around.
Then I saw Theresa, who was smiling broadly.
“Did a lot come out?”
“Look at this! I found four!”
It wasn’t just Teresa.
Sangsu smiled while holding the sword he found in the pile of stones, and Soso, who was able to go to the cafe he was aiming for with Teresa, also smiled, which was rare.
It was hard, but I gained a lot, so the party atmosphere was bright and good.
I think it’s almost the first time I’ve been party hunting in such a peaceful atmosphere.
In the past, it was an extreme ass that was a combination of self-will and unwillingness.
It was time for self-harming flashbacks.
The remains of the golems were reconciled with light and scattered as if bursting.
It was reduced to the purest mana and returned to the world.
It was a very natural phenomenon, so Do-jin did not pay much attention.
I’m just looking around to see if there’s anything I’ve missed.
But at that moment.
cooong.
The mana around them stopped as if frozen.
Even Teresa, Sangsu, and Soso, who were not magicians, felt something was wrong and looked around.
Not to mention Do-jin, the wizard.
Since the class most closely related to the world’s mana was the magician, he was the one who reacted most sensitively to anomalies.
Even Dojin knew when this phenomenon usually occurred.
If it’s not a special magical phenomenon, and if it’s something that stops the mana circulating around the world momentarily in an open dungeon with nothing special like this place… … .
‘no way… … !’
Boss creation.
Other than that, nothing else came to mind.
Dojin quickly turned his head and looked at the left and right walls.
red, blue. Gems with opposite colors were seen rapidly aggregating from the crystalline stage.
“Run the way we came in! hurry!”
After confirming the jewelry, Dojin shouted at the party members.
The fact that that jewel appeared was because it signaled that a boss would spawn in the center of this room.
The party members who looked around with a puzzled expression jumped reflexively as soon as they heard Dojin’s cry.
There is nothing to lose by listening to Do-jin. He thought that way based on the trust he had accumulated over the years and acted right away.
That kind of trust saved their lives.
Got the card.
A huge forearm created in the air swept through the center of the clearing where they had just stood.
“Uh uh… … !”
Sangsu, who turned his head at the wind pressure that brushed the back of his head, let out a suppressed moan.
The sight in his eyes was too overwhelming for him to scream.
The process in which iron sand is pulled up from all sides and swirled around, creating a large golem.
Arms are made, shoulders are made… As the amount of iron sand gradually sucked in increased, the chest, stomach, and the opposite arm were created.
Quaang. The one who fell as if he was about to fall lay on the floor and glared at Dojin and his party.
-Quoo!
[<Closed Iron Ore Dungeon>’s Boss ‘Iron Golem of Concentrated Magical Power’ has appeared!]
Looking at the roaring iron golem, Dojin thought.
‘What makes the progress so fast?’
Are dungeons crazy?
Since they were the only ones who came inside, they thought that there would be a high chance of encountering an elite monster or a boss monster.
Still, I never thought that after hunting five elite monsters at the same time, the boss monster would pop out right after.
However, this was actually a normal phenomenon.
The reason <Closed Iron Ore Mine> was closed was because of the phenomenon where golems were born in places where mana was concentrated.
And this place, where Do-jin penetrated, had been closed for a long time and was in a state of stagnant mana.
In addition, he even slaughtered the monsters created by the accumulated mana… Where did all the mana that was restored after they died go?
If it was killed slowly, it could have spread naturally, but because it was caught and killed so quickly, a large amount of mana flowed into the vacant lot right next to it.
That was the reason why the five elite monsters, ‘Unstable Magic Steel Golem’, were created at the same time, and the reason why the boss monster, ‘Concentrated Magical Sand Iron’ Golem was created.
However, no matter how much Do-jin is from a deceased person who has returned, it is impossible to memorize every detail of every dungeon setting.
From Do-jin’s point of view, it seemed that the dungeon was just going crazy and regurgitating what was stored in it all at once.
“I-what is that? Boss monster? why is that with me now? I just caught an elite monster!”
Teresa also screamed in despair when she saw the message about the appearance of the boss monster floating in the air.
“Iknow, right. Wouldn’t it serve you just because you’re here for the first time?”
Dojin said with a nervous face.
Teresa asks if that makes sense.
However, Dojin’s words were correct.
The monsters that were created in large quantities after being piled up for a long time and this phenomenon that followed from them can be said to be a privilege that only the first entrants can enjoy.
“What are you going to do? No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like we’re the size to deal with.”
Sangsu looked at Dojin and asked.
Other people’s eyes were also focused on Dojin.
In the end, it was said that it was up to him what choice this party would make.
On the contrary, Dojin asked them.
“How long do you think you can last against him?”
In response to the question, Sangsu glanced at the golem, which was continuously reshaping itself with a whirlpool of iron powder, and said,
“I don’t have the confidence to endure, but I have the confidence to die in one second.”
“I think it will all be made in a little while. Why don’t we go out and think about it, and find more people to come? No one will be able to come all the way here anyway.”
Theresa said, pointing at the golem that had already completed one leg and raised itself halfway.
Let’s run away and get more people. As the number of heads increased, the reward would have to be shared, but it was said in the thought that it would be better than dying while trying to catch it.
However, Do-jin denied her words.
“No. The message that the boss has been created will appear to everyone in the dungeon. Since it is a place full of wizards, you must have noticed that Mana caused anomalies. If there is no boss in the revealed place, you will think there is a hidden place, and the hole we drilled will be found soon.”
Then, while he is away, he will be caught by other people, and in the end he will only make good things for others.
Dojin had no such thoughts.
Do-jin pointed at the private iron golem, which was almost completely created and ready to move.
“That thing, if you catch it, the reward will be huge, but are you planning to pass it on to others without even trying?”
The chance to monopolize the boss in an open dungeon won’t come easily, right?
“He said he was confident of risking his life.”
“… … .”
Theresa looked at her friends.
Then Sangsu sighed and said.
“If you want to do it, say you want to do it. I can’t even play this game for a long time anyway. What’s the point of dying once?”
Soso said.
“Will I be happy if I die here? Instead, during the time when I can’t play games, I have to go around all the shops I want to go to. That is my condition.”
“Constant… soso… … .”
Theresa was moved to tears by her friends’ comments.
However, Dojin did not allow emotional arms.
“If you’ve made up your mind, prepare. Because it started moving.”
Wow. As Do-jin said, the iron golem had already been completed and was fully standing up.
It was made of countless pieces of iron powder and looked like a lump of noise that had descended into reality.
“At most three minutes. I survive by dragging him with aggro for 3 minutes. I’ll make a way to deal with that guy inside.”
The iron golem’s heavy body moved.
Dojin separated from the party members and ran toward the red jewel on the far wall.
