Chapter 54 A Cave Inside The Fog Dungeon



My sanity abruptly returned just before my awareness vanished as a result of the horrifying image I saw behind my body.

All of a sudden, the sweat on my body stopped flowing, the goosebumps on my neck stopped halfway, and I no longer collapsed on the ground as if helpless.

Was it a result of my extensive experience with this particular feeling? So that I can restore my composure and common sense?

At first, I thought so, but I was wrong.

Apparently, there was another reason why I successfully overcame the magic debuff, Fear, that attacked me.

[Svangur Sword's locked special ability is now unlocked]

[A special ability called Dispel Fear is now available for you to use.]

[Dispel Fear ability has activated at your will.]

[Successfully neutralized Fear's effect.]

[Congratulations, you succeeded despite the effects of Fear.]

[Name: Svangur Sword

Grade: Middle

Description: A sword that once caused fear across the continent. Having been forgotten for a long time, the ability of this sword has suffered a lot of setbacks. However, you can upgrade the grade of this sword.

Special Ability:

Fear: You can give your opponent the effect of fear. The more blood this sword absorbs, the greater the fear effect it can give.

Dispel Fear: You will be temporarily immune to the effects of fear.]

Is this the reason why I have to take the Svangur Sword first?

I gripped the Svangur Sword tightly.

Although I could still feel the slight effects of fear, I managed to keep my mind clear.

Now, should I take the risk to complete the quest from the World System? Or give up and take a step back like what the owner of the sword of fear in the novel might do?

Magical Beasts. It is common knowledge that the closer Magical Beasts are to the dungeon, the larger their size becomes.

Likewise with a Wild Boar.

At the mouth of the Fier Mountain, there is a large Wild Boar

Nom! Nom! Nom! ….

Despite his large size, he looks like he is eating grass with gusto like a small animal.

When the Wild Boar ate food, it was common knowledge that they would let their guard down.

Swoosh!

Crock!

When he was happily eating grass, the Wild Boar was suddenly startled by a sharp object. The sharp object suddenly stuck into his buttocks. Incidentally, his butt was a weak spot where long thorns did not grow.

"Oink!"

The Wild Boar screamed loudly. He was about to run away, but before he could escape, much foam suddenly came out of his mouth.

And finally, he just fell.

It was obvious that he had fallen because of poison.

The cause of the Wild Boar's unfortunate fate appeared from behind the Wild Boar's body.

And it turned out that the person who had stabbed the Wild Boar's butt was Anas.

Anas was still holding the dagger that she had thrust into the Wild Boar's buttocks. She did that to see the effectiveness of the poison she used.

"Hehe~ The effect is faster than usual. Even though this Wild Boar is bigger and stronger than the Wild Boar I fought in the previous village, and despite I've only been practicing for a while, I didn't expect that the technique Master gave me wasn't a fake one."

Anas was talking to herself.

She looked at the Wild Boar's state and was satisfied.

Once she was sure that the Wild Boar was dead, she drew the dagger at the Wild Boar's ugly and smelly rear.

After killing the Wild Boar, she climbed a tree. Arriving at the top of the tree, she confirmed her surroundings. Once certain that she had cleared the Magical Beasts around her, she sat down on the branch of the large tree.

Then she opened the book that Mesties gave her.

She read it again.

'How does he know all of this?'

Once again, the question popped into her head.

The book she held had secret techniques from her hometown.

Her hometown is a place where everyone must learn about poison. When children could awaken their Mana Core, they would be given a cultivation technique related to poison. With that cultivation, they would automatically become immune to poisons.

Of course, one's level of poison immunity was greatly affected by their poison cultivation level.

Poison cultivation techniques also have many kinds. And the cultivation technique held by Anas was the most formidable poison cultivation technique in her hometown.

The name is Flawless Poison Cultivation.

Regardless of the prowess of poison cultivation techniques. In truth, on the Averus continent practicing poison cultivation was taboo. Thus, her hometown was in a very hidden place.

'But how did those bastards find out?

Anas's hands clenched tightly. She bit her lip until it bled as she thought of the past.

Recalling what happened in her hometown before she left, she was deeply moved that Mesties would give her a book containing secret techniques from her hometown.

Regardless of the motive or how the Mesties got it, Anas is still touched.

'I don't care how he finds out all this, but seeing as he's willing to give this to me, I'm sure he's not a bad person.'

If Mesties was connected to them, she was sure that Mesties wouldn't give something of value like a secret technique to someone he just met. That's what she thought.

She shook her head to clear her mind. Nothing would change if she continued to reminisce about what had happened.

She looked at the instructions in the book and started putting them into practice.

'But, will that person be okay in there?'

Before she continued her training, she looked towards the peak of Fier Mountain where the Mesties were.

Then she closed her eyes and meditated.

[Dispel Fear ability of the Svangur Sword successfully resists the effects of fear attacking your mind.]

​ [.....]

A message kept flashing before my eyes.

What came to my mind was that I decided to continue the Fier Mountain Investigation quest according to the instructions of the World System.

For that reason, I am currently holding onto the cave wall and walking slowly.

The walls of this cave are not the same as the walls of caves in general. The surface of the wall is made of brick and very neatly arranged. I feel that this place is almost the same as an alley of a mansion.

Who would have thought that the entrance to this place is an old and ugly cave, but the interior looks very clean and tidy?

There was lighting radiating from the torches on the wall. The torch illuminates the path I walk. That makes me not have to worry about my visibility.

The longer I walked, the more curious I was about what was at the end of this cave.

But the more I stepped forward, the fear effect that was attacking me also became more and more intense. That is evident from the notifications that appear more frequently.

'To what extent can the Svangur Sword resist the effect of fear?

I still hold the Svangur Sword to give me protection against the fear effect that attacks me. If there was no Svangur Sword, I would have gone crazy.

Even though the Svangur Sword already had the Dispel Fear ability, I couldn't let my guard down.

"Hm?"

I looked at my right foot which had stepped on something. As you can see, what I stepped on was a trigger for a trap.

!!

Even though this place is a cave, don't forget that I'm still inside a dungeon. Dungeons weren't just places where monsters roamed, but also places where traps abounded.

And again, unlike the walls of the cave in general, the floors and walls of this cave look very smooth. It's not to make the mouse slip, but it's very difficult to distinguish which floor is safe and which floor surface is the trigger for a trap.

"Unlucky!"

I cursed my bad luck.

[Skill Hear of Everything - Activated.]

I immediately focused on listening to the mechanism of the trap. Apart from the Fear attacks, which became very annoying when I used the skill Hear of Everything, I was forced to use it.

Even though the trigger of the trap I stepped on was on the floor, it didn't mean that the trap's location was also on the floor.

A trap must have a mechanism in it. But it's different from the one on earth, where the trap is one hundred percent made of lumps of machinery. If it's a trap here, of course, there will be Mana involved.

After listening carefully, I could hear the movement of Mana beside me. I heard the movement of the trap mechanism within the dungeon walls. And without warning, the surface of the dungeon wall suddenly opened and took out a lot of bows.

Automatically, the bows launched a lot of arrows simultaneously.

Shoot! Shoot! Shoot ….

All the arrows were moving very fast.

I'm sure that anyone who doesn't know where the attack is coming from could die instantly. Even if one knew the direction the arrow was coming from, one would have a hard time dodging it.

That's what happened to me too.

I jumped forward and rolled a few times.

"Ugh!"

Turns out I couldn't completely dodge the arrows. I noticed that my thigh had been scratched by an arrow and was bleeding. Not only that, but a green liquid also melted above my wound.

It became clear that it was poison.

[Poison Resistance - Active.]

[Poison Resistance successfully neutralized the poison that attacked you.]

Luckily I still have the Poison Resistance skill. As soon as I channeled Mana according to how to use the Poison Resistance skill, the green liquid above my wound immediately evaporated.

Seeing that the traps in this dungeon are still active, there are two scenarios that I think of. Either in this place, there is still a figure who takes care of these traps, or this cave really has never been explored by anyone else.

I hope my second guess is the correct one. If the correct one is my first guess, then it's probably the real boss of this dungeon.

And seeing that the traps here were meticulous, it was likely that it could be a monster with high intelligence.
