Chapter 140: Olympus Dungeon (2)

I stepped outside the building in my incorporeal state.

Floating in midair were the three of us—myself, Diana, and Drakina.

There is no need to

My vision turned bright white before returning to normal.

The floor was made of pure white marble.

White mist floated around the area.

This definitely resembled the grand temple where I had received a skill long ago.

And between the thick mist, I could glimpse marble statues.

Back then, I admired their craftsmanship, thinking, Wow, these are well-made!

But now, those well-made marble statues were glaring at me menacingly.

“Intruder detected.”

“Eliminate and turn them into a thunder spirit.”

The statues were modeled after various races—elves, dwarves, humans, and more.

Around a hundred statues moved in unison and charged toward me.

Straight into battle, huh?

“Kill.”

“If you die here, you shall become a servant of Zeus.”

They even had a formation as they attacked.

But…

Their movements were slow—so slow it made me want to yawn.

“Shatter.”

I didn’t even use a skill, just gave a command.

Cracks began forming, and the statues turned to dust, disappearing completely.

“All too easy.”

At this level, even Diana or Drakina could have easily handled them.

The system message said only C-rank and above could enter, right?

So this is the expected difficulty level?

Still, I shouldn’t let my guard down.

Who knows what that cunning Zeus might be up to?

I was about to proceed with my Soul Barrier activated—

Until I saw this message.

[‘Fragment of the Grand Temple’ dungeon has been cleared.]

[‘Zeus’s Lightning’ has been lifted.]

That’s it?

Already?

A flash of light, and I was back at Seoul City Hall.

[Translator - Night]

[Proofreader - Gun]

That was way too easy.

Zzzzt, zzzzt.

As soon as I returned, the lightning that had been connected to the sky rapidly shrank.

It had been silent before, but now it crackled noisily before disappearing.

So, that’s all there was to it?

This thing only looked powerful on the outside but was actually just an empty shell.

[The lightning over Seoul has vanished. Did you do this, Jiho-nim?]

[Yeah. I followed a gate and found a one-room dungeon. There were about a hundred moving statues, but they were only C-rank at best.]

[That lightning was a dungeon? Um… Can I report this to the Hunter Association?]

[Yeah, that’s a good idea. Just note that my assessment of the statues’ strength might be off—they were way too weak.]

[Understood. I’ll take that into account in my report.]

[Also, where’s the nearest lightning strike now? I’ll take care of it.]

[Busan.]

[Got it.]

Busan…

I remember going there once when an A-rank dungeon appeared.

“Let’s go to Busan.”

I decided to test if Divine Speech could handle this.

The moment I spoke, my body lifted off the ground and started flying on its own.

Heading south with ease.

Completely automatic, just from saying the words.

The ride was incredibly smooth.

The scenery flew past.

After some time, multiple messages popped up from Kang Shia.

[The lightning in Beijing has been cleared by a lower-ranked Taoist deity entering the dungeon and destroying it.]

[The New York dungeon has been dismantled by the Awakened of the U.S. Hunter Association.]

[The Paris dungeon has disappeared due to the intervention of the Valkyrie Legion.]

One by one, the lightning strikes were vanishing.

Thankfully, it seemed the dungeons weren’t too high in difficulty.

By the time I received reports on about fifteen cleared dungeons,

A massive bolt of lightning came into view.

The lightning over Busan felt different from the one in Seoul.

A group of people had gathered in front of the dungeon gate.

They were clearly Awakened, just by looking at them.

Did they gather people after hearing reports about the cleared dungeons in other countries?

But why weren’t they going inside?

“Will our Busan branch alone be enough?”

“Some countries’ hunters aren’t taking action at all…”

“The only places that succeeded with just Hunters are cities with strong Hunter branches, like New York or London.”

“Shouldn’t we wait a bit longer? Let’s request more elites from Seoul.”

“Yeah. I heard someone in Seoul cleared it.”

Well…

They were too scared to go in.

There were about ten of them.

All of them were C-rank Hunters.

If they had gone in…

Hmm.

They probably would have lost.

Even though we’re both C-rank, it would have been a battle of ten against a hundred.

Their caution worked in their favor.

I landed on the ground and released my invisibility.

After drawing my soul sword and activating my Soul Barrier to fully prepare myself, I strode toward them.

The sudden appearance of me startled them.

“W-Who are you?”

“This area is off-limits. Step back!”

Ignoring their words, I continued walking.

A large man reached out to grab my shoulder.

“Didn’t you hear me say this place is off-limits?”

“Stop.”

At my single word, he froze in place.

Seeing their comrade unable to move, the others assumed a defensive stance.

“You…! What did you do to him?”

“He’s not an ordinary person. Fall back and stay on guard!”

Like a bunch of hedgehogs, they bristled with hostility.

Maybe I shouldn’t have dropped my invisibility.

But staying invisible makes it tricky to be fully combat-ready…

The dungeon earlier was low-level, but there’s no telling when a strong one might suddenly pop up.

“Just stay still for ten minutes.”

With my command, they all froze completely.

Leaving them behind, I opened the bright white gate crackling with yellow lightning.

[Entrance to Olympus Dungeon: ‘Fragment of the Pantheon.’]

[Clearing the dungeon will disable ‘Zeus’s Lightning.’]

[Would you like to enter?]

I selected “Yes,” and my body was sucked in.

The scenery was exactly the same as before.

Marble floors.

A view as if floating within the clouds.

One hundred marble statues.

“An intruder. Detected.”

“Eliminate and turn them into a thunder spirit.”

Even their lines were identical.

“Just die. Shatter.”

As I spoke lightly, the marble statues gathering to surround me instantly shattered into dust.

Soldiers of various races crumbled, unable to resist the will of the gods.

[‘Fragment of the Pantheon’ Dungeon has been cleared.]

[‘Zeus’s Lightning’ has been disabled.]

Well, that was easy.

Even after exiting the dungeon, the frozen people were still stiff as statues.

“Has it not been ten minutes yet? Alright, release.”

At my words, they regained movement.

At first, they were looking away, but the moment they could move again, they spun around toward me.

“What the… You!”

“Hey! Calm down! Excuse me… who are you?”

The big guy who had grabbed my shoulder earlier started getting worked up again, but his comrades held him back.

I mean, come on.

I just incapacitated ten C-rank Hunters with a single word.

Picking a fight is a bad idea.

“I’m the god who just disabled the Lightning Dungeon in Seoul.”

“Wha…? A… god?”

“Quit messing around! You’re obviously Korean! How could you be a god?!”

“Look it up on HunterNet later. See ya.”

Leaving the easily agitated big guy behind, I took off into the sky again.

Hmm… Where should I go next?

I should probably disable every instance of Zeus’s Lightning I come across.

The dungeon isn’t that tough, so there’s no point in leaving it be.

“Take me to the nearest Zeus’s Lightning.”

My body began soaring on its own.

This is pretty cool.

Flying high, I started crossing the sea.

South of Busan… Japan, huh?

Well, I’ll just keep disabling them as I go.

[Who do you think you are?]

[Bakayarō!]

Even in Japan, I got called an idiot while disabling another one.

Boom! Boom!

[Conventional weapons are useless! We need to disable that—Huh?]

Continuing south, I disabled more Lightning in Southeast Asian countries.

Even as artillery rained down, I slipped through and took them out effortlessly.

By the time I’d completed my route from Busan to Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam, a whole day had passed.

Then, as I was letting my divine speech guide me to yet another location…

My body suddenly stopped.

And then, a system message popped up.

[There are 11 remaining instances of Zeus’s Lightning in the next 24 hours.]

[Zeus’s Lightning is activating.]
