With the newfound knowledge of Medusa's weakness, Jin Hwa charged at her with determination. His glaive found its mark, and he left a significant scratch on her neck. Medusa, in a mixture of confusion and anger, wondered, "Why? How does he know it?"
Full of irritation and desperation, Medusa unleashed her trump card, causing the dungeon to shake as she screamed in fury. Jin Hwa knew he had to act quickly to end the battle once and for all.
In a moment of inspiration, he remembered his main skill, "The Master Lethargy of the Sin of Sloth." He leaped into the air and, as he landed, he uttered, "Slumber." Time stopped, and Jin Hwa found himself at the top of Medusa's neck.
Rapidly, he executed a series of strikes with his glaive, striking a dozen times until the skill ran its course. Medusa, weakened and bleeding, found her speed restrained.
In a split second, Jin Hwa use rapid strike once more, gathering all his strength for a final strike. With incredible force, he thrust his glaive into Medusa's neck, ending the battle. Medusa, in despair, cried out, "No, no, no, no! This can't be! Noooo!"
The battle came to a dramatic and conclusive end as Medusa was defeated, and the dungeon fell silent.
With Medusa defeated and the battle at an end, the dungeon, lacking an owner, began to crumble. Jin Hwa saw this as his chance to escape the collapsing dungeon and make his way back home.
With swift determination, he navigated through the crumbling passages and made his way out, leaving the perilous dungeon behind.
The following day, the news reported on the dungeon, revealing the grim scene of rotting bodies of soldiers and kobolds. Meanwhile, Jin Hwa decided to collect his hard-earned rewards for defeating Medusa.
As he received the "Medusa Slayer" title, he noticed that it granted him extra attack damage during battles, a welcome addition to his skills. The +20 increase in endurance would undoubtedly make him more formidable in future challenges.
Curiosity piqued, he turned his attention to the mysterious dark random box, muttering to himself, "What kind of reward would I get this time?" Upon opening it, he found a simple, rusty key. The key had a description that mentioned it could be used at Gyeongju High School.
Jin Hwa raised an eyebrow at the peculiar mention of his school. He thought, "In my school? I'd better keep this for later."
With some time left in the afternoon, he decided to check his stats:

With his newfound abilities and the mystery of the key in mind, Jin Hwa contemplated his next move, planning to return to school that night to investigate further.
