485 Encounter With the Lich King 1 (1/2)
According to the original plan, the secret passage of the Falcacio Castle was supposed to be blown up.
The reason why the secret passage had to be blown up was simple.
The existence of the secret passage was nothing more than a cheat.
The Falcacio Castle was the final content of the episode. It had numerous defense forces built up in it, and while passing through the secret passage more than half of them would turn invalid.
On the contrary, what would one think of the current situation where the secret passage exploded?
”The game broke… Damn it…”
Muttered Na Ji-chan bitterly while taking a sip of his tea.
He really did support Ian, but he didn't realize that he would find such an answer.
”That really is a way that not many would find.”
Seeing Ian who just placed the overlapping portal made for the Asmodian users made Na Ji-chan thought that Ian might escape the trap.
But he didn't assume that he would opt for such an answer.
Na Ji-chan simply didn't understand how he could possibly stop the collapse of the secret passage.
It might not look like a huge difference at first glance, but it definitely made a huge difference to the game.
If Ian would have chosen to attack the Falcacio Castle after escaping from the dungeon, he would have to start outwards, but now he prevented the collapse of the secret passage to enter the castle.
”All that is left now… is just the Lich King, right?”
Of course, even before reaching the Lich King, powerful middle bosses of level 400 and above were lined up.
However, with Ian and Shakran at the forefront, there was no way they could be stopped.
The expedition would literally be able to break into the center and meet the Lich King by the end of the day.
”I need to take a breather. I'll watch the broadcast again after 5 hours. By then, they will be faced with the Lich King already.”
Chick-!
Na Ji-chan turned off the TV and entered his room while yawning.
He decided to go and get some sleep to catch the next crisis of Ian.
***
Ian and the expedition users controlled the explosion by the dark crystal and quickly broke through the end of the secret passage.
It was mostly due to the expedition users, but the other reasons were important too.
Most of the monsters that existed back at the dungeon were high-leveled monsters, and after the Chaos Gate was destroyed, 30% of the combat abilities had been debuffed.
It was a situation where the term 'abuse' could be used.
”Kya, this is like a bonus stay!”
”Can they get this weak all due to the debuff?”
”I don't know about the exact coefficient, but I think they have been nerfed at least 40%.”
Even with the debuff on the monsters, their rewards and drops weren't debuffed, so the users began to throw themselves at the monsters.
The average level of the users was around 400, and the monsters were nerfed which made them seem like level 300, so that scene was a literal massacre.
And of course, the two most prominent ones among them were Ian and Shakran.
Tring-!
[Successfully defeated the monster 'Injured Devildom's Gladiator'!]

[You have successfully defeated the monster 'Lame Kirkos'!]
[Obtained the experience of 82,887,981!]
Ian was constantly wielding his Judgment of the Spirit King and kept cutting down the monsters of Devildom that were in front of him.
But even in such a perfectly presented situation, Ian was feeling disappointed.
'Shit, if only I had more time, I could've swept it all away…'
The first dungeon in the war for Ian and the expedition was the 'Underground Prison' of Falcacio.

That meant that the first dungeon was still going on.
Overlapping in the bonus stage, it was the best hunting ground to catch.
It was very good in terms of the rewards and the experience.
However, Ian didn't have time to go behind them.
He didn't realize what kind of situation would come while spending a minute or even a second while hunting.
The clever strategy to get over the pitfalls safely, but the time limit was limited. However, they couldn't hold on to the ground as they had to get hold of the Lich King because of the quest.
Ian was constantly giving out orders and only focused on breaking through the dungeon as quickly as possible.
”Ceilron, Meran, please continue to cover Shakran at the back, and if one of you are dealers, please focus your support at the center!”
And there were few others like Emily who were questioning the orders of Ian.
”Ian, why don't we take care of them one after the other? Due to the debuff, the monsters are very week, anyway.”
However, Ian touched his hair and responded,
”No. We can't slow down yet. In this dungeon, we never know what kind of trap would ever appear again.”
”Aren't you agonizing too much about it?”
”The experiences are a bit of a waste, even then I think we need to get out of this dungeon as fast as possible.”
”Nice. It does make sense. I'll let you go ahead.”
After convincing them, Ian turned away his head. Ian quickly managed to clear the second half of the dungeon.
Had it been an hour or so?
Tring-!
