Rather than being scared, my body trembled because it was cold. It was the first time I had been hit by such a strong wind with my whole body.

"Yes, but..."

As we climbed up the cliff, a dense forest came into my sight. When I felt the sky closer to the ground, I felt like I was emptying my mind.

I could see monsters with wings flying briskly through the clouds that clump up like cotton candy. It felt free to me, too, as if I had wings.

As we climbed high, the Dungeon's true appearance, which was hidden by a cliff, was revealed. Giant families, who seemed to be well over 5m, were walking through the forest.

Over the horizon, I could see a mountain peak rising high. There was a thick fog around.

"What is that?"

"It's the dragon's nest. It's the area where the third middle boss resides. It hasn't killed anyone yet."

Dragon Zone is a No-Go Zone. They shouldn't go in recklessly because it's a dangerous zone.

"Would you like to go closer?"

"No, it's okay! It's enough from afar."

I was satisfied with secretly peeking at something that an ordinary person would never see in his or her life.

After a long time, the shadow of Griffin came down to the ground. With Hunter Chae Dong-hwa getting off first, he handed over his hand.

"Thank you."

I got off Griffin's back with his help. My relaxed legs shook.

In front of us was a magnificent rocky mountain that stretched out endlessly. There were holes in every floor of the rocky mountain like an apartment.

The whirlwind path extended to the top. The entrance to the cave ranged from the size of a human being to the height of a giant.

"Female monsters are rare in jungle dunes. They usually appear in caves, and even those are only met with luck."

I guess that's why we came to a place where many things are gathered because we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to meet them if we scouted one cave.

"What are some female monsters in this cave?"

"There are ghosts, vampire bats, gargoyles, gremlins, skeletal soldiers, etc."

"Ghosts... As in spirits?"

"Yes. It's the weakest monster after the vampire bat, so it's not that strong. It's a B-Class."

Ghost was scared because it was going to be scary, not strong. Even if the class is low, I heard from my mom that dark-attribute monsters are difficult to deal with using curse skills.

'If it shows up, I'll just swing this hammer.'

I must win first. If I'm bound, I can't attack.

I took out the hammer production.

"Shall we go in now?"

"Yes."

Hunter Chae Dong-hwa took the lead first. My hand holding the hammer was wet with sweat.

We moved into a dark cave like the night before.

Usually, new hunters go to the academy to get information about the guild and see where they will enter and what conditions will be good, but Han Ryoun did not.
