The Return of the Legendary All-Master

Chapter 161

As Jeong-hoon had predicted, Park Jin-Hyeok soon came to Ho-Yeong.

“I want to join Ho-Yeong…”

“Have you perhaps lost all sense of shame?”

Yeo Min-ji asked Park Jin-Hyeok with narrowed eyes.

His face flushed red.

“I have nothing to say in that regard…”

He was utterly deflated.

It was understandable, considering he had caused trouble for Ho-Yeong alongside Lee Hwa-rang.

How could they possibly view him favorably?

“So, what’s your true purpose?”

“Purpose…? I have no such thing. Now that I’ve left Myth, what…”

“In any case, Ho-Yeong can’t accept you.”

“…I see.”

Park Jin-Hyeok nodded with a bitter smile.

He had intended to fulfill his last bit of loyalty and make a clean break, but even that was impossible.

As he was about to get up, Yeo Min-ji made a suggestion.

“Ah, of course, if you really want to join, there is a way.”

“What is it?!”

The condition Jeong-hoon had set was only to join Ho-Yeong.

Park Jin-Hyeok perked up his ears.

“Six months. You’ll go through a probationary period of six months. If you complete that period, we’ll evaluate you and decide whether to allow you to join. How about it?”

“…Alright.”

Earlier, Sa Jae-Hyeok had readily accepted Park Jin-Hyeok’s resignation.

‘If you cause any trouble for Myth, I’ll make sure you never set foot in New World again. Understand?’

Of course, he had to sign a confidentiality agreement before he could leave.

Honestly, he had expected Sa Jae-Hyeok to try to stop him at least once or twice.

Even if he was just Lee Hwa-rang’s sidekick, he was still a level 339 Lord Knight.

Even with a Unique Normal grade, it meant he had the potential to reach Legendary in the future 5th Cataclysm.

But Sa Jae-Hyeok didn’t try to stop him even once.

Even though he had dedicated himself to the guild, he was discarded so easily.

“Are you really okay with that?”

“Yes. But can I ask you one thing?”

“What is it?”

“Do you think I could become a valuable asset to Ho-Yeong?”

Park Jin-Hyeok asked, slightly timidly.

Yeo Min-ji nodded without hesitation.

“Yes, of course.”

As she met Park Jin-Hyeok’s gaze with her sincere eyes, his own eyes trembled slightly.

‘Yes. I’ll go to a place that recognizes my worth. And I’ll make them regret abandoning me.’

The flames of revenge began to flicker in Park Jin-Hyeok’s heart.

“…I’ll do my best!”

Meanwhile.

Jang Dae-hwi was sitting in front of his computer, watching YouTube.

[HoneyTube]

The number of subscribers had soared to 1.4 million, but since there hadn’t been any new videos, it had gradually decreased to the current 1.34 million.

‘When is he going to start making videos again…’

Even when he contacted Ha-jin out of frustration…

[Huh? Ah, I’m busy leveling up right now. Let’s talk later!]

He would briefly step out of the capsule to answer the call, only to dive back in, saying he had to level up.

And Jeong-hoon, the friend of Honey 1 Ha-jin…

[I’ll be making content soon, so please wait.]

He had only said that he would start making content soon and had been silent ever since.

“Seriously, when is ‘soon’?”

Not only were the subscribers decreasing in real-time, but the community was still in an uproar.

[Seriously, why isn’t he active even after reaching 1 million subscribers?]

[Lol, he’s run out of honey.]

[Tsk… If he’s over 1 million, he could just do simple tip videos. He’s gotten too comfortable.]

[Look at him, taking enhancement requests so diligently but not doing YouTube lol]

Hate comments were a given.

The truly malicious ones would come once a day and leave such comments.

[Ugh, I miss the Honeys ㅠㅠ]

[I. Miss. Them.]

[Ah~ How can you show us that kind of performance and then disappear? Lol]

[Ignore those beastly comments and come back soon ㅠㅠ]

Of course, there were far more comments from those missing the Honeys.

Jang Dae-hwi couldn’t hide his frustration as he read their comments.

And then it happened.

[LIVE broadcast is starting.]

HoneyTube’s LIVE broadcast had begun.

“What?!”

Jang Dae-hwi hurriedly entered the broadcast.

[Current Viewers: 6,534]

In just one minute, it had surpassed 6,500 viewers.

Many people had set notifications, so they were flooding in.

And the one who turned on the broadcast was Honey 1 alone.

* * *

Viewers quickly joined the broadcast as soon as it started.

“It’s been a while.”

Jeong-hoon greeted them.

– Hi hi

– Why did you start the broadcast so late? ㅠㅠ

– I’ve been waiting so long my neck hurts.

– Please do broadcasts more often, even if it’s just useless content… You’re always just enhancing.

The viewers expressed their grievances as soon as they joined.

It couldn’t be helped.

Jeong-hoon hadn’t made a single broadcast or even left a notice since Skyfield.

“I’m sorry. But I’ve discovered something really good today, so I’ll introduce it to you.”

You can look forward to it.

– You found something good?

– Where are you right now?

– It just looks like a forest?

– Oh? It’s a dungeon!

– What kind of dungeon is that?

The viewers’ attention was focused on the dungeon.

A sly smile crept onto Jeong-hoon’s lips.

“This is an undiscovered dungeon.”

An undiscovered dungeon!

– …?

– …?

– Really?

– An undiscovered dungeon?

– Honey 1, you sly dog, lol. There was a reason you turned on the broadcast after so long.

– Show us quickly!

The viewers’ reactions were heated.

It wouldn’t be long before this spread to World Com.

“So, today’s broadcast is about clearing this undiscovered dungeon.”

Clearing an undiscovered dungeon.

However, the viewers’ reactions weren’t very positive.

– But is this really a honey tip?

– Shh! Do you think honey tips come easily?

– Honestly, it’s a bit disappointing that undiscovered dungeons are just dungeons that were discovered late lol

– Undiscovered dungeons only benefit the first person to discover them lol The 100% boss item drop rate is too OP

– Agreed

The fact that undiscovered dungeons only benefit the first discoverer.

It was undeniable.

The reason Jeong-hoon had discovered several undiscovered dungeons after his return was also to obtain those first-time rewards.

But this undiscovered dungeon was different.

“This will also be a honey tip video.”

Jeong-hoon approached the portal alone.

[Would you like to enter the Lv.227 Sealed Giant Wolf Fenrir’s Dungeon?]

The Giant Wolf Fenrir.

Although its level was 227, its special abilities made it a rather difficult dungeon to conquer.

– What? Is he going in alone?

– Isn’t that dangerous?

– Hey lol Are you worried about Honey 1?

– They’re worried about Honey 1, who single-handedly defeated the Bone Lord Wyvern lol

– Are you guys rankers? There are other people to worry about lol

The reason the number of subscribers had exploded.

It was because of Jeong-hoon’s performance in defeating the Bone Lord Wyvern.

And with this additional performance, the number of subscribers would surge once again.

“I’ll enter.”

* * *

Meanwhile, there were people watching Jeong-hoon enter the dungeon.

They were Liandor and the bandits, including Kukri.

‘I’ll clear this dungeon myself, so please stay away.’

Liandor wanted to help Jeong-hoon, but because of his request, all he could do was watch.

Kukri and the bandits couldn’t join either, as they had been ordered to wait at a distance.

“He’ll be fine alone, right?”

“He’s the boss. The boss who defeated all of us, you think he can’t clear a mere dungeon?”

Kukri scoffed, dispelling the bandits’ anxieties.

He knew.

He knew just how monstrous the boss was.

It was the boss who had made him realize that the level displayed in front of him wasn’t everything.

“You have a keen eye for someone your age.”

Liandor praised Kukri with a satisfied look.

He, too, had a history of being defeated by Jeong-hoon.

He knew better than anyone that Jeong-hoon wasn’t someone who would easily kneel before a mere dungeon.

“As expected of Liandor-nim.”

“Of course.”

Kukri and Liandor grinned at each other.

Normally, they wouldn’t be able to stand so close to each other, but now, with Jeong-hoon as their common ground, they could laugh and chat together.

* * *

Fenrir’s dungeon took the form of a massive mountain.

– Whoa… Look at the scale.

– Just by looking, it seems like there are more than 300 normal monsters?

– It definitely doesn’t look like a solo dungeon.

Sharp observation.

The viewers were right.

This Fenrir’s dungeon was meant for at least 10 or more people.

The reason was that the number of monsters was overwhelmingly higher than in typical dungeons.

Moreover, they had a habit of living in packs, making them not easy to eliminate.

“Awooo!”

Just then, a howling sound came from a distance.

Their current location had been discovered by the enemies.

That howl was a signal to gather their comrades.

“Let’s begin.”

Jeong-hoon didn’t pick up any weapons.

He was facing a large number of enemies, and he judged that martial arts would be more effective than swordsmanship in targeting the Blood Wolves’ vital points.

They slowly revealed themselves.

“Grrr! New prey has appeared!”

“Let’s catch him and offer him to the boss!”

[Lv.210 Blood Wolf]

They were Blood Wolves.

You could say they were the underlings Fenrir kept around.

– Whoa… Look at the numbers.

– Crazy lol Even from here, it looks like there are over 100 of them?

– He’s going to beat them all up with his bare hands?

– Wait, aren’t you an Enhancer?

The viewers knew Jeong-hoon as an Enhancer.

It couldn’t be helped, considering the overwhelming enhancement techniques he had displayed.

But in reality, Jeong-hoon was a martial artist.

And not just any martial artist, but the Legendary-grade Martial Emperor.

[Blackfield activated.]

[All stats are increased by 1.5 times.]

[Due to the effect of Blackfield, all stats of monsters that intrude into the area are decreased by 10%.]

As always, he activated Blackfield.

This was enough.

“Grrrr!”

A wolf bared its fangs and lunged at Jeong-hoon.

Jeong-hoon used his movement technique to dodge and land an uppercut on the wolf’s jaw.

His fist was imbued with the energy of the first stage of the Underworld King’s Fist Technique.

Pow!

Though it felt slightly heavy, the Blood Wolf was sent flying backward with a yelp.

Then three Blood Wolves charged at him simultaneously.

Jeong-hoon spun his body, striking each of their weak points, their jaws, one by one.

“Yelp!”

The Blood Wolves cried out and fell back.

Two or three other Blood Wolves, who were also charging, tripped over their fallen comrades and momentarily lost their balance.

Jeong-hoon didn’t miss the opportunity and struck their jaws, knocking them down.

– Whoa…

– Is this even possible?

– No way, first swords, then bows, and now martial arts?

– Is he a martial artist?

– Huh? Then how do you explain the enhancement skills?

The viewers were shocked and amazed.

But Jeong-hoon didn’t have time to check the comments.

The Blood Wolves kept coming at him.

Jeong-hoon pivoted on his right foot, continuously targeting the Blood Wolves’ weak points.

[Blood Wolf uses ‘Blood Curse’.]

Then they all used their abilities on Jeong-hoon at once.

Blood Curse.

It was a curse that caused blood to flow out of the body.

Blood started to trickle from Jeong-hoon’s eyes, nose, and mouth.

[Health points are slowly decreasing.]

At the same time, his health points started to dwindle.

– Oh no!

– What can he do about that?

– It’s over…

– Can’t he do something about the debuff?

He could.

Even though he wasn’t using Purification, his health was decreasing slowly.

It was thanks to Mukho.

– Special Ability (1): When equipped, increases debuff resistance by 20%.

A whopping 20% debuff resistance.

And with this…

[Using Purification.]

By also using Purification, which had been upgraded to Unique grade, he could completely negate the debuff.

‘I could manage even without Mukho.’

Because Purification was so powerful.

[You could manage without me…? That’s a bit harsh.]

Mukho expressed his hurt feelings.

– …?

– …??

– Huh? The blood isn’t flowing anymore?

– What? Is he resisting the debuff?

– No way, how can he be so unaffected?

– Did he perhaps remove the debuff?

Jeong-hoon grinned and continued to wipe out the Blood Wolves.

Underworld King’s Fist Technique, 2nd Form.

The energy of the Underworld King intensified, increasing his destructive power.

“Yelp!”

“Whimper!”

With each punch he threw, the number of Blood Wolf corpses grew.
