Chapter Title: Nayeo-ju Saves the World Part 2 Chapter 13
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The voices of the caster and commentator, sounding even more excited than usual today, boomed through the first floor of the training hall.
The screen showing the studio shrank down to the bottom right corner, replaced by a view of dim ruins filling the display.
"Not called the Ruins Dungeon for nothing, huh."
It wasn't as bad as the maze dungeon we'd cleared, but it was far darker than most other dungeon types.
Even with the brightness artificially boosted for viewers, it had to be pitch black for the hunters inside.
Of course, with their superhuman physical abilities far beyond ordinary people, they could see decently enough.
The commentator's description was spot on.
Unidentifiable vegetation had overgrown the crumbled ruins.
"Looks like a dark movie set."
"Oh, totally gives off that vibe. I wanna go turn on the lights for you, Nayeo-ju unnie."
"Right?"
I was chatting idly with Lee Yu-eul, who was lying on my lap rubbing her head against me, when...
A black, jiggling mass appeared before the Sama Guild team, who had been swiftly traversing the ruins without a word.
Moments later, the network overlaid the monster's info on screen.
Woo Jun-kyeong, Sama Young's right-hand man, charged first.
He unfurled the folding fan always at his waist, whipping up wind that carried a purple haze straight into the sludge slime.
"Gueeeek! Gwek!"
The screams blaring from the speakers sounded just like sewer noises.
Even I, who couldn't stand Woo Jun-kyeong, found myself rooting for the monster to die quick.
A single slime wasn't the only one gunning for Sama Guild.
Who knew where they were hiding, but soon over ten sludge slimes had surrounded the raid team.
The caster was freaking out like it was the end of the world, but the hunters gathered in the break room just munched on snacks and watched like it was a movie.
I was the same.
'Sama Young's not even twitching a muscle. What crisis?'
Sama Young stood stock-still at the center of his elite team—Woo Jun-kyeong, Bang Ri-ri, Bang Wi-jin, and the rest—hands clasped behind his back.
When Woo Jun-kyeong called his name, Bang Wi-jin stepped forward and slammed his hand into the ground.
With a boom!, the earth dipped in a precise pattern, sketching out a massive array.
In seconds, a crimson sigil blazed into existence on the dungeon floor like a stamped seal.
"Whoa, Bang Wi-jin's still kicking."
Yang Hwa-yeon let out a low whistle and chuckled.
Hellfire known as "Infernal Blaze" ignited along the red lines.
The sludge slimes shrieked grotesquely, writhing to escape Bang Wi-jin's infernal barrier.
One on the edge barely slithered free.
But it didn't get far before bursting with a splat.
Oh Young-in, another elite member—a hulking brute—had swung his massive flail.
"I've tangled with him before. We're both from Busan."
Ryu Sang-eun from Raid Team 2 chimed in.
"How was it?"
Curious, I asked, and Ryu Sang-eun shuddered like it was nightmare fuel.
"No joke. I was laid up in the hospital for three days straight."
"Ho ho."
"And get this—the flail's not even his main weapon."
"No?"
"He's deadliest barehanded. The flail's more like a gimmick. Once he gets hyped and goes fists-only, just run. Dude rips the ground apart too."
"Makes me wanna spar sometime."
Jang Su-ho, listening in, lit up with excitement.
"Makes sense—you've got that shield penalty too."
The chill from his Manhan Ironclad was his last bastion of sanity.
I recalled the time Jang Su-ho snapped and went berserk, tearing monsters apart with his bare hands.
"Cool it, Jang Su-ho. You two'd fight to the death."
"Hm, true. Shame."
He seemed genuinely bummed about skipping the brawl.
As Jang Su-ho smacked his lips...
"Whoa, Sama Young's moving. What's up?"
Sama Young, who'd been spectating like it was his subordinates' training, suddenly drew his sword.
His glowing red eyes ignored the burning slimes.
Sama Young casually dropped his ornate scabbard to the ground with one hand, then levitated upward.
That was his item's power.
He'd used it to infiltrate the Jongno building and snatch Hong Ju before.
His robes flapping wildly, Sama Young rocketed toward the distant dungeon boss.
As the gap closed, the boss monster came into sharp focus.
"...A chimera?"
"Look at that thing. Scary enough for nightmares."
"I like most dogs, but that's a no."
I grimaced quietly too.
