Episode 191 Chapter 43: Everything is Frozen (4)

Everything is Frozen (4)

[Entering the dungeon 'Ice Spirit's Canyon.']

A system message that was invisible to others appeared in front of Baek Yuseul. Since they were just walking between the ice cliffs, the others might not have realized that they had entered the dungeon.

"Hmm. The atmosphere has changed."

"The concentration of mana has dropped."

"Looks like something serious is about to appear..."

But it wasn't just Baek Yuseul's illusion. The veterans, without any help from the system message, quickly sensed it too.

"Oh, this is a bit fascinating."

"Indeed. It's my first time descending this deep into the sea."

Since they were squeezing through the cracks in the sea and moving deeper into the ocean, the party members could observe the frozen sea below.

Usually, when one thinks of glaciers, they imagine only the surface of the sea being frozen. But this place was different. The sea below was completely frozen and still.

"That... looks like a hexagonal shark."

"I heard they went extinct 700 years ago, but they're frozen here."

"It's like a living museum."

Perhaps because it was a landscape frozen for a thousand years, monsters and marine creatures that could not be seen in the present occasionally appeared.

It was a fascinating sight for Baek Yuseul, who hadn't paid attention to such details while playing the game.

"Hmm, something's coming ahead."

"Prepare for battle!"

Despite that, he completely understood the dungeon's strategy.

He had posted strategy guides titled [★Yuseul's Dungeon Guide #001★] on community sites, which were quite popular.

Although he was terrible at character analysis and storylines, he was a specialist in monster and dungeon strategies, living up to his RPG gamer reputation.

Most adventurers who participated in this strategy expedition to evaluate his combat abilities were greatly disappointed when Baek Yuseul took command from the rear.

"Leader~ The plan is messed up, isn't it?"

Even the leader of the Extermination Team, Kaen, thought the same. If they couldn't confirm Baek Yuseul's strength, they wouldn't have supported this dungeon expedition in the first place.

"We'll proceed in this direction next, so please be careful not to make any noise."

Still, there was one thing they could ascertain. His judgment was exceptionally sharp and insightful for a seventeen-year-old student.

He made quite peculiar yet cautious decisions, as if he had been to this dungeon before, initially causing some veteran adventurers to react skeptically.

"What? Why would we crawl in here? It looks obviously dangerous."

"Look carefully at the direction of the water flow and the footprints. Also, the mana influx is unusual. According to my analysis, this means..."

"Wow, you talk so complicated, just like a student from a prestigious school. So, what's your point?"

"If you really don't trust me, I'll respect the opinions of you veteran adventurers and head this way."
