As I stumbled into the pyramid, I kicked out at a wall inside to try to steady myself . A resounding boom echoed through the chamber as my foot collided with something hard and invisible .
==[You have satisfied the prerequisites . ]==
==[You have discovered a hidden dungeon in the Pyramid of Khufu . ]==
"What?" I stared dumbly at the message that had just popped up in front of me .
"The hidden dungeon was here all along?" I asked myself out of bewilderment . Once it sank in, I could only laugh out loud in amazement .
"But what did it mean by prerequisites? What did I do?"
------------

Reveal/Conceal]
---------
"Obviously I'll keep it concealed!" I selected Conceal without hesitation .
==[Deva Lee Jiwon is allowed one month in Khufu's Hidden Dungeon . The entrance will remain concealed . ]==
A dungeon entrance revealed itself in front of the wall before me . It was much smaller than all of the other dungeon entrances I'd seen .
"I wonder if this is a reward for having to put up with the Blood Prince's bullshit . " I was still pissed off that I had to fight him . What did I have to gain from fighting him? If I lost, I died, and if I won, no one would know .
"I suppose it's time to go in . " I took a step inside the dungeon entrance .
==[Five meters around the dungeon entrance is a safe zone . ]==
==[Monsters will spawn in this dungeon according to Deva Lee Jiwon's level . Caution is advised . ]==
I nodded to myself as I read through the messages that just appeared . I was getting a little nervous . I've been to many dungeons and knew what sort of monsters to expect and that there would be multiple floors . I didn't need to be nervous, but I had never been to this dungeon . I didn't really know what to expect .
"I haven't been to this dungeon before, but it shouldn't be too hard, right?" I looked around the dungeon floor from the safe zone .
[Undying spearman]
[Undying soldier]
[Undying archer]
[Undying commander]
"I really wish I had the Monster Detect skill right now . " I had obviously never encountered these monsters before . I had no information about them at all . At least I had the message tell me that they were around my level .
If I had the Monster Detect skill, I could know their levels and more, but it was too bad that I still didn't have enough skill points .
"I suppose I'll find out once I fight them . There's no way I can lose now . " I sat down for now . I wanted to take a short break and think about the fight against the Blood Prince .
"I couldn't push him all the way back . If I could somehow deal with the Blood Pool…" I could have won that fight, but that Blood Pool was a real problem .
"I know that he can't move from the center of the pool… does that mean I'll need a ranged skill if I have go up against him again?" Still, I was pretty content with myself that I could match the Blood Prince blow for blow . It just meant that everything I'd done so far was right .
"Ah…that's right . There's still the thing with Shaman Ko's stats!" I received a huge STR boost from Shaman Ko's stats when I was struggling in the Blood Pool .
"It boosted my STR by 6600 . I mean, it was only for three seconds, but that was more than enough for me . Was there a hidden effect to the skill?" It didn't feel like I could use it any time I wanted to .
"It's not a good idea to rely on it . I'll just chalk it up to pure luck . " If I couldn't use it whenever I wanted to, I might as well plan as if didn't exist .
I continued to rest for another thirty minutes as I thought about the fight .
----
"It's time to start, I guess . After all I've been through to get here, I need to make the most out this month . " It did take a lot of luck to get here, but still, I did try my hardest .
I walked over to the group of undying spearmen first .
"I better get a lot of EXP out of you guys . I should get a bunch with that double EXP boost . "
The three undying spearmen saw me approach and charged . They were undead monsters, faster than zombies, but slower than skeletons . They were bonier than I expected, but still seemed sturdy enough . They definitely didn't look low-level .
"Good for me . " I swung my sword at the leading monster's spear to deflect the attack . I was slightly pushed back, but was able to block the attack without taking damage .
I raised my left foot and kicked the monster in its chest . The spearman rolled back three meters from the force . I let it roll around on the ground and turned to face the other two spearmen charging at me .
The monster on the right stabbed me in the gut and I winced at the pain . My DEF was raised significantly thanks to my Lightning Boots, but the spearhead was at least five to six centimeters in . I looked over at my status UI and saw that I lost only about 28,000 HP .
-Wait a second . My DEF more than doubled, so isn't it a lot to lose almost 30,000 HP?-
I had no time to worry as the monster on my left was getting closer .
"Heel Kick!"
[You have activated Heel Kick . Opponent's movement speed slowed down by 10% for five seconds . ]
I had to use my skills as many times as I could once the cooldowns were gone . I needed to level my skills up so that they were of better use against monsters and other devas .
Once the monster staggered from the Heel Kick, I slashed the undead spearman twice .
In an attempt to not go down without a fight, the monster stabbed at me again ,but I managed to grab the spear by the shaft with my left hand .
"Huh, I guess I can do that too, now . " The undead spearman pulled back to free its spear from my grasp, but I held on tight . I raised my greatsword as if it were a one-handed broadsword and stabbed at it three times .
The monster was still standing . I stabbed at it until it disappeared to into a cloud of black dust without spilling a single drop of blood . -Probably because it was undead-, I mused to myself .
It took a total of seven stabs . I was much stronger than I was when I could kill Gorgons with three attacks, so that meant these undead spearmen were that much higher level . I liked that a lot .
I turned around to the other spearman . It had already pulled its spear out of me and was about to attack again .
It stabbed at me once more, but this time, I watched the spear come closer and turned my body at the last second .
"I can see everything you do . " I stabbed my sword into its stomach and was rewarded with a dry roar of pain from the monster . The blade didn't penetrate completely, but did leave a large gash between its chest and stomach and pushed the monster back by about two meters . I jumped right on top of it and swung my sword down on its head .
I placed a foot on each arm to hold it in place and chopped at its head relentlessly . On the fourth hit, the strike flashed yellow and the monster died from a critical hit .
"I'm seeing a lot more critical hits this time . " I brushed off some of the dust the monster left and turned to the spearman I had kicked away .
"And then there was one," I whispered before charging at it . The monster thrust at me, but I deftly deflected it and began stabbing at it . I was much faster now . I dodged every time it tried to counter and slashed it twice for each time it tried to attack .
After my seventh attack, the monster finally died, turning into a cloud of black dust .
==[You have gained a level . ]==
"Nice!" The level up alert was always a welcome sight .
The undying spearmen left 158 golden rings and one cursed soul shard in their piles of dust .
"If these monsters can drop at least 60 golden rings each, that'll be more than enough . I can always sell these soul shards, as well . "
From my memory, hidden dungeons didn't have boss monsters or multiple floors . The whole dungeon was on a single floor, but it was enormous . That was another difference between hidden dungeons and normal dungeons!
"I am definitely not leaving here for a month . I'm going to make it to at least level 300 . " I raised my sword in front of me and charged at a large group of undead .
Somewhere in the middle of the fight, a bolt of red lightning struck an undying commander .
==[Your opponent has been struck by Powerful Shock . 100,000 points of damage has been inflicted . For three seconds, your opponent's movement speed, attack speed, DEF and MDEF is lowered by 80% . ]==
"Tsk . Where were you when I fought the Blood Prince?" It was the first time I saw Powerful Shock go off . I slashed at the now snail-like undying commander . It crumbled to a pile of dust with one hit .
I kept going for three days straight, until my fatigue rose too high, and rested at the safe zone by the entrance . Soon, the desire to sleep washed over me and I took out a one-day Safe Crystal and promptly fell asleep on the floor .
---------
A few hours after Lee Jiwon entered Khufu's hidden dungeon at the Myth Guild's headquarters in Old Cairo…
"Shit! Um-nefer, you son of a bitch! How dare a filthy descendant of Ay fuck me over like this?!" Shin, the guild master of the Myth Guild, slammed her fists on her desk . Her guild administrators and officials watched her, but didn't stop her . Their last hope against the Blood Prince's Myth Guild invasion just went up in flames at the very hands of the Blood Prince himself .
"How incompetent do all of you have to be to let Old Cairo get destroyed like this? Huh? Tell me!"
"We're very sorry, ma'am . "
"We have no excuse, ma'am . " Her administrators could only hang their heads in shame .
The heir and direct descendant Horemheb, Shin was an absolute being of the Myth Guild . She wasn't even thirty, and yet her administrators had never gone against her word .
"Please calm down, ma'am . " Ebonene, the vice-master, decided to step in to relieve the tension in the room .
"But…" Shin's administrators were loyal to her since before they became devas, but Ebonene was different . He served her father and was someone she trusted even after her father's passing . She couldn't get mad at the man who was always at her side .
All of a sudden, someone burst into the conference room . It was the head of Intelligence .
"What do you want?"
"I apologize for the interruption, but there's something you must know . " He beckoned at the door and Edwifu entered, still covered in sand .
"I highly doubt you're here to report what happened to Old Cairo now . And if you're here to report that the Blood Prince killed the guards at Khufu's Pyramid, then you're too late . I already know about it," one of Shin's officials spoke in her stead .
"No sir, it's something else . I haven't reported this to another administrator yet . "
"What? What is it?"
"It'll be faster if I showed you . Master Shin, may I have your permission to put on a video?" Edwifu truly believed that as a descendant of a pharaoh, Shin was truly a goddess of Egypt, as did many of the members of the Myth Guild .
"Is it something that truly requires my attention?"
"Yes, ma'am . Without a doubt," Edwifu replied confidently .
"Very well . " Shin was not in the best of moods with the destruction of Old Cairo, but knew better than anyone else to act professionally . She was taught to at the earliest of ages .
Edwifu approached a projector at Shin's permission .
"Turn the light off, please . " The lights in the room were turned off, and Edwifu turned on the projector . It wasn't a long video; only about ten minutes long .
"He's an Unrivaled . "
"I don't think I've seen him before . "
They could tell that the deva fighting against the Blood Prince was an Unrivaled right away . They had fought against the Blood Prince many times themselves, and could tell at a glance .
