Most lizardmen are unarmed.
They do not wear armor, helmets, nor weapons.
This reason for this was two-fold.
For lizardmen who live in swamps or water, armor or weapons were obstacles in their daily lives.
Even an unarmed lizardman was strong enough to kill an orc equipped with armor and weapons.
Of course, it wasn't because they couldn't wear them.
If they wanted to wear armor, they could wear it. If they wanted to wield a sword, they could wield that as well.
Naturally, the combat ability of an armed lizardman couldn't be compared to an unarmed one.
Kaa!
That's how a lizard warrior became the boss monster of this 2 floor dungeon.
"Arrg!"
At this moment, that lizard warrior was in battle with none other than the players sent from the Skull Guild to kill Kim Woo-jin!
Kim Woo-jin was watching from a distance while pulling on a bow, unsurprised.
"As expected."
Rather, the scene was as Kim Woo-jin expected to see.
It was also something he intended.
'They have no choice but to take out Plan B when they get sent to the 2nd floor unexpectedly.'
Kim Woo-jin swiftly completed the condition for clearing the 1st floor dungeon after taking care of Jung Hoon-young's team.
He killed the hidden goblin he had captured and unexpectedly switched the stage to the 2nd floor. There were two benefits that came from this.
'They won't know how skilled I am until they find me.'
One of them was that he could hide his skills.
If he remained on the 1st floor, there was a high probability that his abilities would have been revealed, even if he tried his best to hide them.
'And I'm sure they will imagine the worst case scenario.'
The second benefit was that the Skull Guild would try to imagine the worst possible situation in their minds.
'Since it's not unusual for a traitor to betray again.'
For example, a situation where Jung Hoon-young did not betray Kim Woo-jin but betrayed them instead.
In other words, from the Skull Guild's standpoint, they couldn't help but think about the possibility of Jung Hoon-young and Kim Woo-jin being on the same side.
A lack of information, a sudden change in circumstances, and the possibility of the worst-case scenario... due to such disadvantageous factors, their top priority could only be to leave this place alive.
And to do that, they had to kill the lizard warrior.
'Three people.'
Three people from there Skull Guild were now fighting with the lizard warrior.
'The other one's probably in the back.'
And that was why Kim Woo-jin quickly turned around.
Sss!
Something sharp flew toward Kim Woo-jin.
Kim Woo-jin lowered his posture in order to dodge it and immediately fired his bow toward that direction.
Ting!
The arrow that flowing toward Kim Woo-jin created a sound as if it were blocked by a hard object.
That was it.
There were no notifications indicating that the target had been affected by his blood poisoning.
It was not difficult to ascertain why it didn't work.
Since the man in front of him, who looked like he was in his early 30s, used the thick gloves he wore to protect himself from the arrow.
Naoki Matsumoto, the assassin who flew from Japan to make sure Kim Woo-jin dies.
Such a man appeared in front of Kim Woo-jin.
In other words, the Skull Guild also predicted how Kim Woo-jin would behave.
They knew that Kim Woo-jin would try to go for them once he knew they switched to Plan B and tried to kill the lizard warrior.
They tried to capture both of them at the same time.
"I've got you now, you fucking rat!"
Their targets were in front of them.
Of course, Naoki Matsumoto did not hesitate to rush toward Kim Woo-jin.
Siig!
Naoki Matsumoto, who was running toward him, swung his sword while still in the distance.
Slashing from below to above, a crescent-shaped sword energy was released from a Japanese sword.
'It's Crescent Sword.'
Crescent Sword(閃劍)!
At the sudden attack created by the skill only available to a Holy Guardian of Light, Kim Woo-jin threw his body sideways.
Seuguk!
Then a thick tree behind Kim Woo-jin was cut in half instead of him.
But there was no time for him to be surprised.
After narrowing the distance while Kim Woo-jin wasted his time trying to avoid the crescent sword skill, Naoki Matsumoto swung downward with his sword.
Even if Kim Woo-jin dodged backwards, he would use his crescent sword once again.
Damage would be unavoidable.
Therefore, Kim Woo-jin ran toward Naoki Matsumoto.
Before the sword hit his body, he tackled him.
Kuang!
Kim Woo-jin and Naoki Matsumoto collided and began rolling on the ground.
Then they pushed each other away as if they had a previous agreement, and the two faced each other again after separating.
Surug!
Kim Woo-jin pulled out the scimitar hanging on his back.
The confrontation resumed.
They gazed at each other.
"Damn you fucking Korean bastard."
Then Naoki Matsumoto vented his anger at Kim Woo-jin in Japanese without hesitation.
"I will dig out your eyes while you're still alive, cut off your ears, and soothe the souls of my dead comrades. Then after getting you to spill everything you know, I'll cut off your tongue."
It was a terrifying statement.
However, it wasn't meant to be a provocation for Kim Woo-jin.
For it wouldn't be much of a provocation since he didn't think Kim Woo-jin knew Japanese.
It was more accurate to say that he was merely venting out the anger in his chest.
However, Kim Woo-jin knew Japanese.
Not only Japanese but Kim Woo-jin was also proficient in languages of various countries when it came to listening.
Of course, Kim Woo-jin did not want to talk to the other person just because he knew Japanese. 'He's a bastard with a shitty personality unlike in Park Yi-yeon's memories. Did he act like a gentleman in front of Park Yi-yeon?'
Instead, he hunted.
Such a man was more vulnerable to provocation.
The usual procedure to distract the prey was to provoke them.
He didn't need words.
Kim Woo-jin held his middle left finger firmly toward Naoki Matsumoto and beckoned him to come.
The provocation made Matsumoto Naoki's face under the helmet extremely ugly.
Seeing his provocation, he immediately rushed toward Kim Woo-jin.
'I will kill you!'
Inside Naoki Matsumoto's head, who was charging towards Kim Woo-jin, 'defeat' did not exist.
The Holy Guardian of Light, a halo that was better than all other halos. As someone who carried such a halo, he couldn't imagine himself losing a one-on-one battle against Kim Woo-jin.
'The fact that people who have the Holy Guardian of Light as their halo are overflowing with pride is the same even if they are low level or high level.'
Kim Woo-jin did not back down either.
He also charged forward.
The distance between the two narrowed in an instant and their swords clashed for a moment!
The scimitar and the Japanese sword clanked, reverberating with sounds of vibrating steel.
Puhu!
Kim Woo-jin vomited what was in his mouth.
What he vomited was none other than his blood.
Kim Woo-jin's blood, which was released by biting off flesh in his mouth, soaked Naoki Matsumoto's face.
[You Are Under the Effect of Blood Poisoning.]
"Keuk!"
Matsumoto Naoki groaned.
But he did not close his eyes.
With bloodshot eyes flared up due to Kim Woo-jin's blood, he put more strength in his sword to break the deadlock with Kim Woo-jin.
He intended to beat Kim Woo-jin by force.
Kkigigik!
The swords in their hands screeched due to the contest of power.
But the power struggle didn't last long.
Immediately one side began to lose ground.
'Th, this is...'
Naoki Matsumoto, he was pushed back by Kim Woo-jin.
This was why Kim Woo-jin invested all of his stats into constitution so far.
No matter how much a rat tries, it can't catch a lion.
At that moment, the confrontation was virtually over.
"Keuuuu!"
The only thing Naoki Matsumoto could do now was to struggle.
No, he was not even allowed to struggle.
'First I have to escape the deadlock...'
As soon as Naoki Matsumoto stepped back to escape from the deadlock with Kim Woo-jin, Kim Woo-jin noticed his movements and matched his direction.
When Naoki Matsumoto moved his legs to take a step backward, Kim Woo-jin kicked his stomach.
Koong!
Matsumoto Naoki fell right back.
And he swung down his scimitar between Naoki Matsumoto's eyes.
Ppagik!
With a gruesome sound, Naoki Matsumoto's body went limp.
[Emissary of the Underworld Applauses Your Performance] [Emissary of the Underworld Sends Some of His Power.] [Skill Rank of Blood Poisoning Increases By One Step.]
Kim Woo-jin received a round of applause from his halo.
However, Kim Woo-jin never basked in glory or appreciated a fight.
Since it was just hunting in the first place.
No predator will feel appreciation for the fate of its prey after a hard hunt.
Such was the case for Kim Woo-jin.
Like all hunting dogs, the only thing he had in mind was to get what he wanted from his prey.
[Anubis' Eyes Are Opening.]
At that moment, Kim Woo-jin's eyes turned black.
In a moment, he read the memories of Naoki Matsumoto.
Kim Woo-jin's eyes narrowed.
'Difficulty is B-, but if the maximum number of people that can enter is 30... .'
Although the difficulty rating of the dungeon mattered a lot, the difficulty of a dungeon also heavily depended on the maximum number of people that could enter.
Compared to the Albino Lizard Dungeon that Kim Woo-jin cleared before, it was a dungeon that was more than twice as dangerous when attacking alone.
'That's about right.'
Obviously, Kim Woo-jin wasn't scared.
Furthermore, Kim Woo-jin was not alone in this dungeon.
An examiner would come as well to observe his skills.
The examiner's name was also written below the note.
'Lee Jin-ah.'
Kim Woo-jin's face hardened as soon as he saw the name.
'Don't tell me it's the "King of Undead" Lee Jin-ah?'
