ACT 3 Hell Training
-Suspicious Cave
A dark and suspicious cave in the swamps. The moss and mildew coats its outside, causing a bad smell and eerie noises also can be heard from the cave.
Countless voices of the dead can be heard in the swamp. There is the root of the corruption and evil souls. If possible, it is recommended that you pretend not to see the cave and pass on by.
<explorer>ā€œThere is a dungeon here.ā€</explorer>
<explorer>Ark gazed at the cave opening with a bemused look. Underneath the rotten wood and moss, there was a dark opening. The cave had surprisingly appeared when he followed the flow of the swamp.</explorer>
<explorer>ā€˜Anyway, it is certain that the Monkfish mushrooms came from here.’</explorer>
<explorer>A viscous liquid flowed from the cave.Ā The Monkfish mushrooms probably grew in the cave because of the viscous liquid. In other words, the Monkfish mushrooms were growing in large quantities somewhere in the cave.</explorer>
<explorer>ā€œIt’s been a while since I’ve entered a dungeon.ā€</explorer>
<explorer>Ark looked at the cave and laughed.Ā Then the eyeball sat inside Ark’s collar and muttered.</explorer>
<explorer>ā€œArk-nim, isn’t the atmosphere unusual?ā€</explorer>
<explorer>ā€œYou idiot, that makes it better.ā€</explorer>
<explorer>There was no user who would pay attention to the various warnings present in the information window.Ā A dungeon was the staple of RPG games. Monsters hunted in dungeons gave better experience and items. In addition, the higher reward meant higher compensation. Who would avoid that just because of a creepy atmosphere?Ā Of course, Ark wasn’t going to carelessly run in.</explorer>
<explorer>ā€˜Now what kind of monsters will I see in this dungeon?’ Ark used Eyes of the Cat at the entrance to look inside the cave.</explorer>
<explorer>His pupils turned green and he could see the inside of the cave.Ā Just like the entrance, the interior was filled with rotted wood and moss. And he could occasionally see rotten dead bodies.</explorer>
<explorer>ā€œMould Zombies, level 400 Mould Zombies!ā€</explorer>
<explorer>Ark shouted with joy after confirming the monsters that lived in the dungeon. He had just been having trouble with the level of the Mould Zombies within the swamp. But now he found zombies that were 100 levels higher!Ā All of a sudden he had encountered monsters 100 levels higher so he didn’t have a problem anymore.Ā After calculating the dark attribute bonus, Ark was level 523. So he was in fact 123 levels higher. But his actual level was 349 and he was fighting a level 400 monster, so he would receive 100% experience and a bonus 10% for every 5 levels that the monster was higher than him.</explorer>
<explorer>ā€˜Even if I level up, I won’t have to worry about items and materials not dropping.</explorer>
<explorer>Ark was fortunate about that.</explorer>
<explorer>ā€˜There are 20 Mould Zombies at the entrance. They won’t be a problem even if they’re level 400.’</explorer>
<explorer>Ark had a lot of experience fighting Mould Zombies and he was already tired of it. So there was no need to think of a plan using ā€˜Stealth.’ The zombies were empty headed so it was impossible for them to lay traps and they would just run forward haphazardly.</explorer>
<explorer>ā€œI don’t need to see anything else. There aren’t that many so I’ll finish it quickly!ā€</explorer>
<explorer>ā€œHehehe, come on Mould Zombies.ā€</explorer>
<explorer>Clack clack, clack clack clack clack!</explorer>
<explorer>Ark, Razak and Racard held their weapons and entered the cave. But a message window he never imagined appeared as soon as he entered.</explorer>
<explorer>-You have entered an area with a special property!</explorer>
