Chapter 60
Eventually, the Monster Hell, who lost its roots, lost its balance and stumbled greatly.
Choi Cedric, who did not immediately understand what happened, admired with a surprised look.
“You have such a strong skill … That’s amazing!”
Well, I didn’t know I have such a serious cleaning skill. If I level up the skill one more time, I think I could clean the world.
Anyway, I have to use everything I can.
…….
‘The Floor is Shiny!’
I used the skill again as I moved forward. Snip. The larger roots were cut off. I walked towards the center of the Monster Hell, once again, again….
At last.
Cuckoo cuckoo!
The Monster Hell, with all its roots uprooted, fell like a carrot right before shipment.
Uh, this really works……?
***
Monster Hell, whose roots were cut and fell like a freshly plucked sweet potato stalk. Taking advantage of the moment, I shouted again.
“Go! Kongdrick!”
However, the rebellion of Monster Hell, who did not want to lose the flower, the source of its life, was also enormous. As soon as Choi Cedric approached, it stretched out its branches and roots in all directions, creating a circular prison.
In result, we were trapped in it.
He cut it with his sword and I used cleaning skill, but the branches that were cut quickly grew back. We made a gap and forced our body out, but it was the same. The branches of the tree moved slowly, and they just made a prison again and locked us up.
What is this … is this a regression? No, a loop?
The Infinite Return of Monster Hell?
Then, a good idea flashed across my mind. If only the Blue Celaeno Flower can be taken from the Monster Hell, then there is no need to continue this sluggish work because it will no longer be able to regenerate.
I opened the skill window and read the contents. There is a skill I focused on.
[The Barista’s Extraction (D)
Details: (Lv.2) Extract only the desired substance from the mixed substances.]
‘It’s ridiculous … no, it’s not. According to my experience so far, it is definitely possible!’
I found a way.
A few preparations were required to try this method. First, I talked to Choi Cedric.
“There’s no end to this. Let’s take a break.”
Choi Cedric looked impatient, but he agreed that there was no end and nodded.
In the end, we decided to rest for a while while being trapped in Monster Hell. The first thing I did was make coffee.
Trickle. A sweet smell spread all around. I handed the freshly made cafe mocha to Choi Cedric.
“What is this?”
Once I gave it to him, he received it, but it seemed that he did not understand the current situation.
“Hurry up and drink.”
However, experience is quicker than verbal explanation.
The effect of cafe mocha is a 200% increase in recovery speed. It’s must-have for Choi Cedric, whose body has been burned by the digestive juices.
“……!”
Choi Cedric, who drank the cafe mocha and experienced the effect firsthand, looked at me in surprise.
“Wh-what is this? It’s healing the wounds faster than a potion!”
“It’s just coffee.”
“Besides, it feels like the smell of chocolate is dancing in my mouth! This bitterness of sweetness, it’s the taste of life!”
“No, it’s not like that….”
“This is definitely like that!”
Shivering, answering humbly, and shuddering again. It’s been awhile since I’ve played with Choi Cedric, who has a silly commentary skill installed passively as his main (S) skill.
Choi Cedric nodded with a serious expression and said.
“I see, you are….”
All I did was use my skills to make coffee, but it’s nice to hear compliments anyway.
Calling me a genius barista is a bit exaggerated though, hahaha.
“Coffee Maniac, no, Coffee Tentaku!”
“…….”
What’s going on with the lexical system of this No. 2 ranker?
After threatening Choi Cedric so that he would never call me like that again, I drank my share of vanilla latte.
All preparations are done. Now, all that’s left is to try.
“Can you give me a second?”
“What? What are you going to do?”
“You’ll find out if you leave me alone.”
“If you kill the flower….”
“No, you don’t have to worry.”
A hand that was clasped so tightly that the knuckles turned white caught my eyes. Slowly, Choi Cedric rose almost at the same time as he nodded.
Shashashak! The moment I cut off the branches that made up the prison, I threw myself forward.
I used the skill straight away without a break.
‘The Barista’s Extraction.’
[Extracting extremely difficult targets.]
[Extraction may fail. Do you still want to extract it?
Yes / No ]
Originally, it would have failed with a high probability, but I chose ‘Yes‘ without hesitation.
Because….
[The effect of vanilla latte is being applied. When using a skill, there is a 100% chance of a critical hit for 1 time.]
[Crit! Unbelievable extraction succeeded.]
[The extraction is complete.]
The twinkling light is gone, and what’s left in my hands….
“….the Blue Celaeno Flower!”
The effect of The Barista’s Extraction (Lv.2) is to extract only the desired substance from the mixed substances. Although ‘barista’ is included in the name, there is no explanation that it should be used only for coffee.
In other words, it’s like this.
Mixed Substances = Monster Hell + Blue Celaeno Flower
Desired Substance = Blue Celaeno Flower
I thought, holding the flower in one hand.
Hey, this really works….?
“……! How can it be so easy? You, do-don’t tell me you cheated on the Grade….”
“I’m a true F-class. Hurry up and get it.”
“….Thank you.”
I felt a deep sincerity in the short words.
Choi Cedric received the Blue Celaeno Flower from me and put it in his inventory.
Tiling!
[Unbelievable Achievement: ‘Touching Monster Hell while Eating’ has been achieved. Please collect the reward.]
[You have defeated the boss monster ‘Monster Hell (B)’]
[Dungeon: Monster Hell has been cleared.]
[You have reached Level 10.]
I skimmed through the notification window that popped up.
I thought it was a breaking-the-balance scam, but after killing the boss, it really worked.
Now all we have to do is escape. As I headed towards the escape gate created near the body of Monster Hell, the alarm sounded again.
Tiling!
[The current space cannot be maintained due to the death of Monster Hell.]
[The space is forcibly destroyed … 30 seconds until it’s gone.]
Tick-tock-tick-tock….
The remaining time in the system window quickly decreased, and the dungeon collapsed from the end of the field of view. The air from the original greenhouse was mixed and ate this space.
For a moment, I admired that strange sensation. The soles of my feet began to sink.
Isn’t 30 seconds too short?!
“Aaaaahhh……!”
“Hey, be careful!”
Choi Cedric caught me as I slide. Then, he threw me towards the escape gate, telling me to get out first.
The moment I passed through the blue light of the gate.
….Huh?
The remnants of Monster Hell were wrapped around my feet, and the wind swept them up into the air. This damn monster wood minions!
My body fell to the floor.
No, I killed the boss with my breaking-the-balance fraud skills, but my future of dying here is already decided!
Fortunately, the system responded quickly on its own.
[Crisis situation! ‘The Bond of a Cup of Coffee‘ is activated.]
[Target: ‘Choi Yichan’ is selected.]
[Skill: Defense is The Best Defense (C) is used.]
[Defense increases by 500% for 5 minutes.]
I’ve been through this situation before.
Rolling, roll!
There is no pain in the body that has landed in the perfect falling posture.
‘The Floor is Shiny!’
The monster’s remnants wrapped around my feet were also perfectly slain. Perfect 2 Combo!
Feeling proud inside, I raised my head, and our eyes met.
“…….”
“…….”
With whom?
Kwon Jiwoon.
Why the hell is Kwon Jiwoon here? Did I see it wrong?
However, that unique silver hair, there can be no two faces in the world with such a cold atmosphere.
The destroyed greenhouse, tearful Lee Chorok, and dungeon plants with red stickers on them. All of those things didn’t even catch my eye.
He probably didn’t see it, right?
I just used a defensive skill, but it would have just looked like a fall.
I blew away the remains of the monster, but that’s just a cleaning skill….
“…….”
“…….”
No, let’s stop running away from reality.
A shock spread across Kwon Jiwoon’s expressionless face. He approached me and bit his lips as if to pick his words, but no words came out.
He saw it all!
“Uh, umh, Oppa, what brings you here……?”
Kwon Jiwoon frowned slightly.
“Here, I was informed that there was a rift in this farm.”
When a rift suddenly bursts, the Dungeon Management Office first checks the status. After that, if it is not possible to take care of it only with the Hunters belonging to the Dungeon Management Office, they’ll put a request for support from the guilds.
There are many criteria for requesting support, such as the size of the guild and the Hunter’s ability. In the case of rift that are not particularly dangerous, it’s just … it’s a turn. It’s like class duty.
Perhaps it happened to be Kwon Jiwoon’s turn today.
“Really? Hahaha, what a coincidence.”
“…….”
Silence again.
Let’s calm down. After all, I was supposed to tell him about my awakening.
I didn’t expect to bump into him like this, but now is the time to say it.
I took a few deep breaths and then moved my lips.
“Oppa, I’m awakened.”
“…….”
