  Among the players, of course it was the savior Lee Se-jun who owned the most legendary skill and items.

  To help him save the world, members of the Messiah Guild constantly risked their lives to help him find legendary skills and items.

  Then if you wanted to choose the player who came in second, of course it would have to be the King of Undead Johann Georg.

  Being Lee Se-jun’s only rival, he exploited that and made use of all those who came under him after being suppressed by the other side.

  So who was the third?

  Opinions would begin diverging at this point.

  There were many who boasted the number of legendaries that they had.

  And of course the Hunting Dog, Kim Woo-jin would never reveal just how many he had in his possession to others and would instead say he didn’t have as many.

  But it was impossible to know exactly.

  ‘I had a lot of items at that time but…’


  Naturally, before returning to the past, Kim Woo-jin had possessed so many legendary items that a normal player might not have seen so many in their lives.

  ‘The Heavenly Dragon Sword was quite useful.’


  The reason for this was because of a skill that the user of the Heavenly Dragon Sword had access to, Heavenly Dragon’s Will.

  It was a powerful skill which used up stamina to gain additional damage.

  ‘The downside is that you run out of stamina too quickly.’


  The problem was that to use this skill, you needed to use almost all the stamina you had.

  The skill was powerful but calling it a powerful gun with only one bullet was very accurate.

  ‘It wouldn’t be very useful right now.’


  But for the current Kim Woo-jin who didn’t invest in stamina unlike before, it was pretty much useless.

  ‘I’d have to borrow Lee Jin-ah’s energy.’


  Of course, Kim Woo-jin knew of ways to use the Heavenly Dragon Sword even if his stamina levels were low.

  And of course he knew how to deal with the Heavenly Dragon Sword.

  ‘The duration of Heavenly Dragon’s Will is about 30 seconds.’


  As was mentioned before, the skill of the Heavenly Dragon Sword consumed a huge amount of stamina.

  The duration was also a short 30 seconds.

  ‘There’s no reason to fight.’


  In other words he would just have to run away during that time.

  ‘Retreat.’


  And retreating(running away) was one of the greatest strengths of the Skeleton Knight.

  The mobility it gained from having a skeleton wolf mount was best shown when none other than running away.

  Kya!

  Upon receiving the command from its owner, the Skeleton Knight immediately retreated from the spot where Chun Dao-ming was injecting his stamina into the Heavenly Dragon Sword.

  The speed of its exit was so fast that Chun Dao-ming was not able to respond in any way.

  And the other skeletons also began to retreat while fighting moderately.

  ‘Huh?’


  Putting all his stamina into the sword had caused a shadow to grow on Chun Dao-ming’s face.

  And now a question mark was floating over the shadow.

  ‘H-, how?’


  It was a question aimed at Isaac Ivanov who had perfectly pinpointed the weakness of his Heavenly Dragon Sword.

  “B-, boss! Th-, they’re running away.”


  “Wh-, what do we do?”


  The voices of his men were filled with fear as they requested further instructions.

  This was because they had realised just how frightening the Skeleton Soldiers that they had just battled were.

  However Chun Dao-ming did not say anything to them.

  After 30 seconds, a sound came to their ears.

  Rattle!

  It was the sound of fear.

  …


  Puk!

  The battle ended with the spear from a skeleton soldier piercing Chun Dao-mings chest.

  At the scene after the great battle was Kim Woo-jin who was inspecting the sword that had belonged to Chun Dao-ming.

  [Heavenly Dragon Sword]——

  The Heavenly Dragon Sword.

  Memories of the past naturally came to Kim Woo-jin’s mind while he looked at a weapon that had been one of his favorites.

  ‘Thanks to this guy there weren’t many monsters I couldn’t catch.’


  Numerous achievements, legends and stories were achieved thanks to this weapon.

  And at the end of the story.

  ‘He was the one who benefited the most.’


  As he was thinking about the end of the story, Lee Jin-ah approached him and said.

  “Sir, congrats on your great item.” (TL: it was funnier in Korean…unfortunately can’t transpose it)

  As he said that, he stretched out both hands.

  “Won’t you give alms.” (TL: again…funnier…can’t transpose)

  Of course he didn’t actually have any hopes of receiving it.

  It was at that moment.

  [There are 100 monsters remaining.]

  A notification came telling them that the hunting on the second floor was nearing its end.

  ‘We don’t have much time left.’


  At the notification, Kim Woo-jin gave an order to Lee Jin-ah.

  “Take your items.”


  “Okay.”


  Lee Jin-ah quickly nodded and began to remove the items from Chun Dao-ming’s men’s corpses.

  [The Eye of Anubis has opened.]

  Then Chun Dao-ming’s memories appeared in his head.

  ‘Yeouido Park.’


  He saw the conversation in Yeouido Park.

  ‘So it’s the members of the Great One Guild and the members of the Amazon Guild. The one that’s talking…I don’t know who he is.’


  From the identities of those who were given his information together with Chun Dao-ming to the one who gave it to them.

  Then he saw the memory from before Chun Dao-ming arrived.

  ‘Director of Public Security.’


  Kim Woo-jin frowned at the emergence of such a powerful fellow.

  ‘Is it Kunlun?’


  In fact he had already expected that guild to make moves.

  From the beginning Van Gogh’s Bracelet had belonged to their guild and Kim Woo-jin had noticed and intercepted their mission to retrieve it.

  In such a situation it would be weird if the guild left Isaac Ivanov alone.

  ‘They’re checking.’


  Perhaps this was to see if Isaac Ivanov truly had the bracelet or not.

  ‘Nothing in the world is free.’


  And this was the price he had to pay for Van Gogh’s Bracelet.

  [There are 50 monsters remaining.]

  When they heard the notification, Lee Jin-ah shouted out.

  “Are they planning to enter the third floor without taking a break?”


  In the current situation, it would be better for the players to gather and rest before entering the new floor.

  “We moved suddenly from the first floor.”


  This was because they had experienced a sudden clear of the first floor.

  Now that they had experienced that however, it seemed that the others wanted to move to the third floor instead of resting.

  ‘The Golden Eagles and the Amazons will aim for me in the third floor.’


  In addition there were two groups other than Chun Dao-ming who were aiming to claim Van Gogh’s Bracelet.

  Unlike Chun Dao-ming who had no affiliations, both groups were from powerful guilds so if he dealt with them poorly then there may be problems.

  However Kim Woo-jin didn’t care about that fact.

  It was then.

  [All the monsters have been hunted.]

  A notification came, signaling the end of the hunt.

  “Ah, it’s over.”


  Lee Jin-ah began preparing after receiving the notification.

  “Lee Jin-ah.”


  “Hm?”


  “Alms.”


  Then Kim Woo-jin threw the Heavenly Dragon Sword to him.

  “Huk!”


  Lee Jin-ah was shocked as he caught the sword and shouted.

  “Are you really giving this to me?”


  “If you ask, I’ll lend it to you at any time.”


  Lee Jin-ah’s surprised expression suddenly hardened.

  “No, really. Why does this feel like a trap? Everytime you give me a powerful weapon, don’t I have to suffer day and night?”


  Kim Woo-jin didn’t respond to his reaction.

  ‘It’s impossible for them to aim for me on the third floor anyway.’


  Instead he prepared.

  ‘Because I am the only one who can hunt the Golden Lion.’


  To fight against the Golden Lion, a monster that left only 31 survivors.
