Assassin necromancer

[Episode 6] Outside the House is Dangerous (2)

Meanwhile.

The 1st attack team of the Cheongbaek Guild, where Baek Seo-Ha belonged, was smoothly clearing a B3-rank dungeon.

“We’re faster than expected. At this rate, we can finish by tomorrow.”

“The scouting team already checked the boss room. Let’s recover our strength and complete the attack.”

The boss of this dungeon was a Puppet Spider..

It was neither too easy nor too hard—a moderate difficulty monster.

Since the map was fully explored, there was nothing to worry about.

The leader gave the final orders, and Baek Seo-Ha also began packing up her equipment to finish for the day.

At that moment, the gemstone on the item hanging around Baek Seo-Ha’s neck shattered.

“Oh! Seo-Ha, that’s…!”

Chae Hwa-Ryeon, who knew what it meant, widened her eyes in shock.

Seo-Ha clenched her fists tightly.

‘A dungeon? Did he get trapped inside a dungeon?’

Because the gem broke, the item’s effect activated, showing Baek Eun-Ha’s location.

It was near their home. It seemed he had been caught up in a dungeon seed blooming nearby.

Seo-Ha made a quick decision.

‘…Even if I go now, what can I do?’

That was the obvious thought.

She hadn’t even finished clearing the B-rank dungeon she was in.

The chance of rescuing her brother with direct action was low.

But even as she thought this, Seo-Ha’s body was already moving.

She was rushing alone toward the dungeon boss room.

For her, who had already lost her parents to a dungeon incident, this was beyond logic or reason.

“Seo-Ha! Where are you going? Stop right now!”

The sudden situation shocked the guild members, and they ran after her. But Seo-Ha was too fast.

Kieeeek!
Kiik!

‘Annoying.’

Even though she knew the way to the boss room, there were still monsters in the way.

Two Poison Spiders and three Spider Halos. All of them were B-rank monsters—definitely not weak.

But Seo-Ha knew.

‘I can wipe them all out.’

If she fought with full power, these monsters wouldn’t be a threat.

Boom!

Bam! Puhak!

She gathered strength in her muscles, jumped in an instant, and struck at their weak spots.

One Poison Spider was about to spit poison but died immediately with three large holes in its body.

It probably didn’t even realize how it died—it was that fast.

By the time her teammates barely caught up, they saw something unbelievable.

Seo-Ha moved like she had reached the level of a god.

Puhwak!

She dodged poison being spat from two directions and avoided webs attacking from behind.

Slash!

A Spider Halo jumped from the wall, trying to ambush her, but she barely dodged its front legs.

Puhak! Pwak!

And then, with a swift thrust—
Like an explosion, the Spider Halo’s body burst apart.

A normal person would never attempt such risky acrobatics. But the results spoke for themselves.

She kept repeating this process, and soon, no monsters were left in her path.

It was a complete slaughter.

“Was… was she always that strong?”
“……”

Seo-Ha’s teammates, who had been chasing her, were speechless.

They had never seen her fight so fiercely and violently before.

As they watched her rush toward the boss room without stopping, Chae Hwa-Ryeon had a thought.

‘Maybe… she’s already at S-rank.’

—

I had realized I was trapped in an undead dungeon.

As I stood there thinking about my situation, the first thing to greet me was a skeleton holding a rough-looking sword.

“……”

It didn’t look like a warrior.

It was just a basic skeleton with a sword. A simple, standard enemy—like a cheap 500-won soft-serve ice cream.

“…So, this dungeon isn’t that high in rank?”

That was at least some good news.

If the enemies were only this weak, I could handle them even without a weapon.

Creak!

The skeleton seemed to recognize me as an enemy and started moving its short legs toward me.

I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

“…You’ve crossed the line.”

Does this thing not even recognize someone as great as me?

Whoosh.

Swoosh!

I calmly waited for the attack, easily dodged the skeleton’s sword, grabbed its arm and neck, and slammed it to the ground.

Boom! Crack!

“Ugh.”

It was heavier than I expected, so I let out a breath.

But the attack landed cleanly.

I took the sword from the broken skeleton’s hand and finished it off.

Crack!

“Nothing special.”

Honestly, I didn’t expect to win so easily, but it felt good.

At that moment, I noticed something strange.

‘I’ve been curious about this for a while…’

It seemed like my usual mental issues didn’t happen when fighting monsters.

“Hmm.”

That made things simple.

This was just a dungeon with weak skeletons.

I had no mental burden. No humans around to hesitate me.

“Hehe.”

This meant—no one could stop me.

“This cold, heavy feeling…”

The sword was weak and crude, but it was light enough for me to use.

It was time to show off my sword skills, which even a Sword Saint had acknowledged.

Creak. Creak!

More enemies were approaching.

I stepped forward confidently.

Then I saw them—three Warrior Skeletons, two Archer Skeletons, and even a Mage Skeleton.

“…Oh.”

I turned around and ran.

Tadadak!

“Huff!”

Not just one or two, but five strong enemies.

This dungeon wasn’t so low-rank after all.

Huff. Huff.

After running like crazy, I finally escaped their sight.

As I ran, I realized something.

This dungeon was much larger than a normal low-rank dungeon.

And since it was an undead dungeon, the monsters weren’t spread out—they moved in groups.

If that weren’t the case, I wouldn’t have been able to escape like this.

“This is bad…”

The dungeon didn’t seem too difficult, but in my weak state, clearing it was impossible.

If I had three magic stones, maybe, but I only had one.

‘I’ll just wait.’

A dungeon of this rank would be cleared soon by nearby hunters.

I just needed to survive until then.

As I was looking for a hiding place, I saw someone.

“Eek! A-ah… you…!”

A girl let out a terrified scream when she saw me.

She was the student who had entered with the trainee hunters.

Damn it.

A human—a debuff totem.

I pulled my hood lower to hide my face and spoke coldly.

“…Where are the others?”

This was seriously frustrating.

—

The girl’s answer was unexpected.

She trembled as she explained what happened.

According to her, all the trainee hunters were either dead or missing.

‘That doesn’t make sense.’

This dungeon wasn’t supposed to be that dangerous.

Even if they were weak, skeletons weren’t impossible to fight.

But the trainees seemed knowledgeable about dungeons.

How did they all die so quickly in such a large, empty dungeon?

This wasn’t a simple matter.

“There was… something scary…”

“……”

“A huge skeleton soldier attacked so fast… Hic.”

I frowned.

A giant skeleton soldier?

That sounded like a Skeleton Giant.

But those were at least B-rank monsters. They shouldn’t be in a low-rank dungeon.

‘Wait… is this really a low-rank dungeon?’

If so, then—

A high-level undead must be here.

And if that was true…

‘This is bad.’

Boom!
Thud!

Just then, heavy footsteps echoed through the dungeon.
