I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

132.Dungeon, Explosion, Reward (Complete)

The operation was simple.

While I’m trying to distract Cerberus, who has sensitive senses, from noticing my presence digging into the ground, I dig a hole deep enough for Cerberus to fall into.

The depth is roughly 10 meters.

Since it has a huge body, if it falls from a fairly high height, it will not be able to recover from the shock.

Meanwhile, the head is smashed.

A simple and simple operation.

“!(@)*&()$#!!”

“You are persistent.”

I pulled the shovel out of the middle head. The head in the middle didn’t move with its eyes closed.

Is he dead?

I took my eyes off the middle head and glanced at either side of Cerberus’s head, which was trying to raise itself. He’s definitely a nuisance. The ability to survive despite falling into a pit at a depth where it would normally be normal to faint.

It’s like a mob in the mid to late stages.

If we had faced each other head on, we would have had a hard time.

“I put deadly poison on the shovel, but I don’t know if it did well. If you’ve eaten well, why not bark once?”

It is a powerful poison that can kill a person with just one drop. I poured almost a bottle of it, so the poison must be slowly spreading by now. Even if I leave it like this, it will probably die slowly.

“Mr. Johan!”

“Shuri! Prepare the magic from above!”

“!@()!($#&*!!”

I don’t know. I chuckled as I felt two pairs of gazes glaring at me, filled with murderous intent. At the point when you fall into the pit, victory in this fight is decided. All that’s left is to think about how to kill this Cerberus.

I used the skill towards Cerberus, who was slowly trying to get up.

“Production.”

After all, a dog needs a leash.

I hung the dead head on a thick ring of rocks so that it could not be lifted. Because the head is dead, no strength can be applied to the neck, so movement is completely blocked. Even if you try to escape, it will take quite a long time.

The easiest solution is to blast the pit with your breath, but who would wait 20 seconds? If you fire your breath in this narrow hole, you will definitely know that you will suffer damage, so you won’t be able to use it.

In other words, the situation is no different from checkmate.

I stepped on Cerberus’ soccer field-like back and climbed on the right side of Cerberus’ immobile head.

Although he resisted, he was still unable to properly control his body due to the shock of the fall. I quietly adjusted the shovel above my slightly shaking head.

“Goodbye.”

Fighting isn’t just about strength, you b*stard. I plunged the mithril shovel into Cerberus’ thick head. As expected of the world’s best metal, the mithril shovel was embedded in Cerberus’ skull without any resistance.

A shovel blade that is half dug in.

It’s still not enough.

I slammed down on the head of the shovel with my foot, forcing the entire blade deep into my skull. Screams and screams. And blood poured through my body like waves.

Oh, it smells fishy.

When I get back, I definitely have to take a shower first.

While covered in blood, he twisted the wound on the top of his head. The wider the wound, the faster the life of this giant Cerberus will disappear.

As if in response to my intention, I felt the sound of the wind blowing from above and the intense heat.

I looked to my left in the same position I was in when I tore my throat out. Before I knew it, the sight of Luis landing on Cerberus’ wide back and the scorching fireball on the left side of his head tormenting Cerberus’s head caught my eye.

What was the attribute of the left head?

Well, you’re going to die anyway, so it’s not something to worry about. I quietly leaned on the shovel, watching the left side of Cerberus’ head burn.

The battle is over. Although it was quite bland, it could be said to be the most ideal battle.

You defeated a powerful monster without any significant damage. In the end, seeing Cerberus completely stop moving, I pulled out the shovel, took a cloth out of my backpack, and roughly wiped away the Cerberus blood that was all over his body.

“Is it over…?”

“As you can see.”

“Wow, we caught Cerberus!”

“Rather than us catching it, isn’t it more like we just spooned over something that Yohan messed up?”

In times like this, I just accept it, you thief cat. I lay down on Cerberus’ back, looking at the happy children. The fur stings a bit, but not so much that I can’t lie down. I should just lie down and rest like this.

My whole body aches from shoveling like crazy.

Even if shoveling in a rock is efficient and fast, it still remains the case that it is ultimately a job done using human physical capabilities.

“I’ll take a short break and then go check the reward box.”

“But how do I get up?”

“All you have to do is build a road.”

You have to make some stairs and go up them.

I ignored the terrible bloody and stinging smell and closed my eyes.

Because I’m used to this.

———————-

“Wow…The reward box is so big!”

“Isn’t the reward at this level huge? Even if you don’t do it, you might be able to earn more than 1000 gold coins-“

“For a moment. “Do not open it right away.”

“Why?”

“It could be a mimic.”

“Ah.”

The expressions of the group members who were happy with my words became tense.

“I will first check whether it is a mimic before opening it.”

I sprinkled the paralysis reagent I received from Viola on the box. If that guy is a Mimic, he won’t be able to do anything because he’s paralyzed by the paralysis reagent. Isn’t it?

In any case, even if my body was paralyzed even a little, it was a benefit.

But there was no reaction from the box.

I was wondering if it was a Mimic, but it wasn’t.

“Now I will open the box.”

I grabbed the lid of a box that was twice as large as the boxes in other dungeons and lifted it. The inside of the reward box that was revealed when the lid was opened was… A chore.

“This is a dungeon where Cerberus is the final boss, but the reward is vague.”

“Hmm, but I think I can get more than 30 gold coins for one gem?”

“It weighs quite a bit.”

Well, you’re telling me to dig up Cerberus material and get the reward instead.

Some gold coins, a few gems, and some ugly equipment. Is it a keepsake of explorers?

In this world, the belongings of those who die in the dungeon go into the reward box over time. If you think about it, these are probably the dead people who came out during the data research.

This is my first time seeing it in person.

Is it only natural that the dungeons we have broken through so far have had virtually no casualties?

In most cases, I was the first to enter.

“I guess the quality of the explorers who came here wasn’t that good.”

I scattered all the equipment in the box on the floor. Old and dented equipment. Just by looking at them, they are cheap equipment. In unexplored dungeons, equipment is often accumulated in this way. It was a structure that had no choice but to accumulate equipment left behind by those who failed to break through the dungeon.

In the game, it was a phrase that passed as a one-line tooltip while loading, but it felt strange to see it like this.

If I die in a dungeon, will I just be left with equipment like that?

“How about handing it over to the Explorers’ Guild?”

“…I guess I won’t be able to find the owner anyway? Just sell it out-“

“Isn’t that too much?”

“That’s what being an explorer is all about. You risk your life in the hope of making a fortune. When you die, it becomes part of the dungeon and disappears.”

For the first time in a long time, Sif spoke like a senior explorer.

Did you know you could say something like that?

“Do you think so too, John?”

“Well, that’s true.”

To put it bluntly, it is better to sell everything.

Explorers are like flies anyway, and priority for disposing of equipment obtained from a dungeon goes to the party that cleared it. Since most people live in the lower class without knowing when they will die, there is no need to fight unless it is a request.

“It’s too much to carry them all. Make sure there are no personal belongings among the equipment. “I only take that.”

At my words, Sif nodded her head with a slightly regretful look on her face. The group had complex faces.

So we swept all the gold coins and jewelry boxes from the box into our pockets, took what appeared to be personal belongings from the dead people’s equipment, and returned to where Cerberus’ body was.

Since the dungeon rewards were really boring, I should at least get the Cerberus skin and bones.

Even if you can’t do it, it’s better than steel.

——————-

“I came to report on the beast’s grave.”

“Yes?”

“I came to report on the exploration of the beast’s grave.”

The receptionist at Velenci’s Explorer’s Guild looked up at him with a frightened face at the words spoken by the large man with a fierce look.

It gives a bloody impression, as if they are going to grab your neck and break it at any moment. The receptionist swallowed her saliva without realizing it, as it seemed like there was a bloody smell coming from the body of hers. It is said that explorers are full of people with rougher faces, but the atmosphere felt was more than that of a veteran.

“Well, uh, that’s… “

Before the receptionist could finish answering, the man placed miscellaneous items on the counter. From small pendants to daggers with initials engraved on them. The receptionist looked up at him blankly and asked.

“What is this?”

“These are the relics of explorers who died in the dungeon. “I wish it could be returned to the bereaved families.”

‘Oh, he might be a nice person despite his face.’

The receptionist quietly put down miscellaneous items inside the desk. His expression she was much more relaxed than before. When the large man saw that, he put down the huge fang, the Explorer’s Guild certificate, and a small notebook from his backpack.

“This is the tooth of Cerberus. Submit it as proof of the success of your exploration of the Beast’s Tomb. And this note is a note that records information about the dungeon. I will also submit this as evidence.”

“Ke, ke, ke…”

“Keh?”

“Cerberus?!”

‘Cerberus? That Cerberus? Why does such a monster suddenly appear?!’

The receptionist called at the guild to leave.

Naturally, everyone’s eyes in the guild focused on the large man. The man, surrounded by curious gazes, looked at the receptionist as if asking for attention.

The look in your eyes that wants to get things done quickly. The receptionist bowed her head with a thoughtful expression and apologized.

“S-sorry! Wow, I was so surprised!”

“Anyway, I’ve delivered what I had to say, so I’ll come back in a few days.”

“Yes! Come back at this time in two days!”

The receptionist breathed a sigh of relief as the man who left a strong impact for a short period of time disappeared.

‘Cerberus is a graveyard of beasts…’

Just looking at the canine teeth, which are as thick as a human waist, is scary.

The receptionist slapped both cheeks with his palms, then turned and disappeared to find the appraiser stationed within the guild.

I had to quickly adjust the emotions and send an exploration party to verify if what was said was true before the dungeon was reset.

A few days later, the news of clearing the Tomb of the Beast, which had remained an unexplored dungeon for five years, was announced in Velen City.
