"Damn… look at how easy they fall . "
"I know, right? It's like they're made out of cardboard, and his spear's a box cutter . "
"Are they really the same monsters we've been hunting all this time?"
"Obviously . "
Guild members of the Myth Guild were looking on in amazement as Lee Jiwon hunted . A party had already been hunting when he arrived and they came right up to greet him when they noticed him come in . Lee Jiwon was a precious friend to the Myth Guild after all he had done for them, especially after the Time Attack quest .
The captain of the 7th Hunting Party had already been ordered to not interfere with Lee Jiwon's hunts and quickly ordered his party to make way for the man . He also handed Lee Jiwon a piece of paper that noted the locations of the FOBs on the 1st, 3rd and 5th floors .
(Ed . Note: FOB = Forward Operating Base, if you didn't know)
"Thank you . "
"Don't mention it . Let us know if you need any help . "
"I will . "
The 7th Hunting Party watched as Lee Jiwon made his way through the dungeon . By this point, no one in the Myth Guild doubted Lee Jiwon's abilities, but they couldn't help be curious as to how Lee Jiwon would fare against the Crocodiles . These monsters were covered in leathery scales harder than steel and boasted very high DEF . In other words, the Pharos dungeon was not really a dungeon for fighter classes .
But this was Lee Jiwon . The hunting party watched as Lee Jiwon walked closer to a five-meter tall mutated Crocodile, in case he really did need help .
However, in a matter of seconds, they realized that they didn't need to worry about him . The Crocodile had holes all over its body, as if it were made out of paper . Every time the Croc would try to bite him, he would already be behind it and every time the Croc tried to counter with a swing of its sharp tail, he would already be on its back .
"Was he always this fast?"
"I don't know . From what I remember, he would always stick to his enemies and not try to dodge any attacks . "
"Yeah, I'm sure that was his fighting style . But he's way faster now . "
After a total of twelve blows, the mutated Croc finally fell on its back, dead .
" . . . " All sixty party members here knew that the five-meter tall mutated Crocs were very strong . There was a reason always came here in a group of sixty . They could deal with one or two at a time, but if at least three or four gathered, things become dangerous for the party . It also took the party quite a while to defeat one, thanks to the Crocs' high DEF .
However, with Lee Jiwon's speed and flexibility, he could make short work of any horde of Crocs .
At that moment, the hunting party heard exactly what Lee Jiwon calmly muttered to himself .
"Not bad!"
------
"Grashaah!"
"You can hiss all you want; you can't hit me . " I quickly dodged to side as the Croc flew at me with its maw gaping wide . As expected of a high-grade dungeon, the normal and mutated Crocs were powerful . That just made it more fun for me, though .
Their hide was thick and I enjoyed feeling my spear actually strike something every time I attacked .
At that moment, I let my guard down a little too much against three mutated Crocs and one of their razor-sharp tails slashed my side . "Crap . "
A wound like that could have been fatal to anyone else, but it was just a scratch for me . "That's it . Struggle for your lives as hard as you can . " I charged in at an even bigger horde of Crocs .
==[You have gained a level . ]==
They also forked over a lot of EXP!
"I can't leave these, either . " I checked every single Croc tooth, Croc hide, and the golden rings they dropped . I was rich enough that I didn't need to pick up the materials, but the Myth Guild had requested that I sell to the guild at higher prices instead of at a Store . They needed the materials to craft some important items .
Another important part was that I no longer needed to worry about inventory space .
"Store!" I said, pointing to the hide and teeth .
==[2 Sharp Crocodile Teeth and 1 Thick Mutated Crocodile Hide have been Stored . ]==
I didn't need to bend down and pick up dropped items anymore . Release was easy, too . If I used Release, images of whatever was stored would appear and I could select any of them to take out .
"Nice!"
I continued to hunt as much as I could to make up for lost time after India and the Time Attack . It was fun getting to bound around like this again . I smiled before charging in at another horde .

Shetland Islands, Scotland…
A lavishly dressed person was seated on a very wide chair . This person was too fat to fit into anything smaller .
"Kekeke . So, they sent a messenger to Lee Jiwon?"
"Yes, sir . We confirmed it last night . "
"Good, good . I thought the wolf people gave up after not doing anything this whole time . But do you think Lee Jiwon will help those filthy mutts?"
"That's…" The officers glanced at one another and struggled to answer the Duke's question . They all thought that it was logical for anyone to choose not to, but they couldn't be honest when the Duke wanted Lee Jiwon to help . If he did, then the Duke could eat him . They knew better than to give him an answer he didn't want to hear .
"He is the one who defeated the Blood Prince . He'll probably jump in with high spirits . "
"Besides, the wolf men are at their last dregs,, with no one else to turn to . They'll do whatever they can to get Lee Jiwon on their side . "
"Kekeke . I hope that happens . No, it should happen! Mmm, he seems even more delectable as I think about it," the Duke said, visibly drooling . His eyes flashed with a light of craziness, but no one noticed . They couldn't, as they couldn't even see his eyes .

The last mutated Croc fell before me .
==[You have gained a level . ]==
"Ha… that's enough for today . I already hunted all day . " For the past month, I had hunted all day and rested at the Myth Guild's FOB for six hours before setting out to hunt again . Not to mention, I was leveling steadily as well .
"The King Emperor's Grand Dignity is also working quite well . " I never really noticed a huge difference as I hunted alone, but I once had to help the Myth Guild's FOB stop an ambush from a horde of Crocs . I could hear what they were saying to each other about it .
---
"Huh?"
"My attacks are cutting all the way through now . "
"You too?"
The fighters on the front line were the first to notice the difference . They seemed surprised that the attacks that were usually stopped by the Crocs' armored hide now slashed all the way through . It wasn't a huge change, but it was enough for them .
"Chain Lightning . "
"Flame Demon's Raging Fire . "
"Razor Wind!"
The mages on the rear lines made their attacks and even they noticed something different; the monsters were dying faster than before!
"Hey, use your Monster Detect . "
"Okay . Monster Detect!" One supporter used her Monster Detect skill, and discovered the debuff that was the source of the anomaly .
"Grand King-Emperor's Dignity?"
"What?"
"All of the Crocs are under a debuff called Grand King-Emperor's Dignity . All Stats, including ATT, MATT, DEF and MDEF, are lowered by twelve percent . "
"twelve percent? That's one hell of a debuff, but I never heard of it before . Did we always have a supporter who had it?"
"Sure, but he's not part of our guild . "
"We do? Who?"
The support mage who used the Monster Detect skill turned to face the man wielding a spear . "Master Lee . You all remember when he participated in the King-Emperor's quest in East Asia . "
"Oh yeah! That's right!"
"It has to be from an item, right?"
"I think so . There's no other answer . "
The Myth Guild members stared at Lee Jiwon with even more respect . He truly was strong if he had an item of that caliber . Still, they knew it wasn't fair to just chalk up his strength to item power . They were just thinking that out of envy, especially since the Myth Guild had no items of Rank 8 or above before the Time Attack quest .
Lee Jiwon could hear what everyone was saying behind him .
-It must really be good . -
He never knew how to truly utilize the upgraded King-Emperor's Dignity after hunting alone . He always thought he could do without .
------
"Heh . " I wasn't getting tired of the hunt even if it was getting grindy . I wouldn't mind if I had to spend a few months doing this . Actually, I would even prefer to .
-Huh?-
I felt something strange as I headed for the FOB from behind a huge boulder . Someone was hiding there, and it could be an ambush .
-What's going on?-
The only monsters in the Pharos dungeon were Crocs, and that included the elite monsters . They didn't hide or ambush their prey . That was something real crocodiles would do as animals, but these were monsters .
-Deva?-
I thought who or whatever was hiding behind the boulder was a deva, but my gut told me that it was a monster . It was definitely a monster, and one that shouldn't be in the Pharos dungeon .
"Ah, jeez . Who's there? Would it even understand me?" I called out . If it didn't understand me, I would just kill it .
I then heard the footsteps of a bipedal being . It walked like a human .
"Huh?" At that moment, I saw a being that seemed like a monster and human at the same time . It was a woman with pointed ears, covered in fur!
