Chapter 14

Field dungeons were polluted areas that were created because dungeon breaks couldn’t be completely blocked.

This was mainly due to the unique terrain rather than the strength of the monsters that often appeared, and China and Russia were typical examples.

Because the ground was so vast, when the gate was opened, it was difficult for hunters to find each monster one by one, so they were eventually abandoned and left to die.

In addition, it was often much more difficult to locate the gate that had started to erode, so it took several times longer to attack the dungeon.

For a similar reason, Korea, which had many rough mountains instead of vast lands, often had field dungeons.

[Field of Gwanaksan]

※ No entry except for the Hyena Guild

Gwanaksan is the first entrance to the dungeon, strictly blocked from outside by a fence.

The Gwanaksan field was a field dungeon that the Hyena Guild had occupied for a year.
The guardian was watching Gwanaksan from afar, wearing a hood and mask to cover their face.

[This is it.]

Berger, perched on the guardian’s shoulder, greedily licked his lips.

This was the place where the energy of the stronghold that Rakkan’s Fang had revealed could be felt.

However, Rakkan’s Fang didn’t know what was inside the stronghold.

[You don’t know even though we’ve come this far?]

“No matter how many times you ask, my answer is the same. I’m just a sword that was stuck in the ground at best. I can sense the energy of the stronghold, but I can’t accurately know its true form.”

Rakkan’s Fang protested as if feeling unjustly accused.

Berger chewed on a piece of candy and threatened him with a bad expression.

“I hope you’re not lying. If you are, I’ll start eating you from the handle, very slowly and painfully…”

“Can you stop threatening me like that?”

“What if I don’t?”

“It’s scary.”

[…]

Rakkan’s Fang was honest. Perhaps because it was a sword, there was no pretense.

The sun was setting.

The guardian, who had been waiting for this moment, looked up at the sky with bright eyes.

“Okay. Let’s go in now,” said Suho, walking slowly towards the iron fence with his hood pulled deeper.

His sensory stats had improved, allowing him to see reasonably well in the darkness. This should not pose a significant obstacle to combat.

“No, it’s better this way. We don’t want to get caught by the Hyena Guild,” he thought to himself.

It was illegal for a hunter without permission to enter a dungeon occupied by another guild. However, he wasn’t there to make money at someone else’s workplace. He planned to quietly take only the fangs of the Lord of Fangs’ relics, as long as he didn’t get caught, there would be no problem.

If the Lord of Fangs’ relics fell into the hands of an ordinary awakened person, the hunter might be stripped of his body and become a berserker, like what had happened to Rakan’s fangs.

“Is that a CCTV and an iron fence?” Suho’s eyes calmly surveyed the surroundings.

It was impossible for people to individually guard a large field-type dungeon like this. The only things guarding it were the iron fence and CCTV cameras installed at intervals.
