Chapter 170: Sharing the Bed with Enemies (5)

‘Removing the armour? Are you saying to advertise tattoos at the same time?’

Already surrounded by grayish monsters, or rather, ghostly creatures, there was no time to hesitate.

Swoosh!

「Golden Oath」- Legendary Breastplate

【Reduces enemy attack power by 50%.】

As Yeongwoo immediately removed the breastplate, it revealed a new advertisement for Dogo playing on the ‘white space’ on his right forearm.

This advertisement was a kind of making film where Dogo researchers in a laboratory-like place resembling two-legged animals were shooting arrows.

‘So, among Dogo products, there are real bows too.’

The quest name wasn’t just “Dogo, Supreme Archery” for nothing.

On the other hand, the monsters who unexpectedly faced the challenger who had just thrown off the breastplate.

-What… What is this bastard?

-What is he going to do now?

-Is this how it always is…?

They looked at the problematic challenger with fearful eyes.

They even forgot to rush towards their opponent.

The opponents they had encountered so far were just test combat dolls copied from challengers who would come someday.

So, they only knew that the challengers had superhuman strength like themselves, but they didn’t know exactly who would come.

Then today, for the first time, they met a challenger, an outsider, and it happened to be Jeong Yeongwoo, the Strongest Sword of Joseon.

-What’s happening outside…?

-This guy is the Strongest Sword of Joseon?

The monsters had been waiting for what felt like an eternity until someone came to the dungeon, so the adventures unfolding before their eyes were inevitably stimulating.

Even Yeongwoo, who had spent millions of karma to buy his body, was quite beautiful in an aesthetic sense.

Rather, it made it even more eerie.

“Um… Are you all feeling it too?”

As a moment of silence fell over the area, Yeongwoo awkwardly laughed and extended his shoulder to the audience.

Swish.

Then the monsters, looking uncomfortable, retorted.

-What are we supposed to feel, you crazy bastard?

-What the heck is this guy doing?

Upon this, Yeongwoo gradually raised his combativeness and said.

“Don’t you feel that the answer in this universe’s military industry is Dogo?”

-…?

-What?

-What nonsense…

“Well then, let’s feel it from now on. The technology of 「Dogo」!”

Trduduk!

As Yeongwoo suddenly rolled his eyes and vigorously pulled the bowstring, the monsters facing him realized that something was seriously wrong.

-This… this guy is not human!

-What’s this guy up to now?

-Hurry up and kill him!

Instinctively sensing danger, thousands of monsters began to rush towards the golden challenger, forgetting about attacking collectively.

At the same time, Yeongwoo’s sensory values ​​also skyrocketed in a blink of an eye, surpassing tens of thousands, as if going crazy.

“Ughhh…!”

In front of the grayish wave filling his sight, Yeongwoo let out a roar that was truly inhuman as he let go of his bowstring.

Thud!

With a whoosh, a purple explosion of transcendent arrows occurred, ruthlessly crushing the monsters rushing towards him.

“This battle…! Is sponsored by the universal weapon brand, 「Dogo」!”

Yeongwoo, who was introducing the sponsor with a fanatic expression, realized at this moment.

“Huh…?”

He realized that he had already pronounced「Dogo」twice in a transcendental language.

Just hearing or seeing it conveyed the meaning and emotions contained within, a communication method of higher beings.

So at first, he thought it was a misconception or another promotional method provided by Dogo, but it wasn’t.

‘This… This is what I pronounced myself. I don’t know why, but I’m sure of it.’

Of course, the transcendent language he could use was only 「Dogo」, but this gave Yeongwoo a significant shock.

‘What, what is this? Why all of a sudden…’

And meanwhile, on the back.

-We got him!

-The back is clear…!

-Kyaaaa!

While Yeongwoo was shooting arrows, hundreds of monsters who had come close were attempting a surprise attack.

At this, the automatic combat greatsword ‘Golden Trail’ tried to move, but…

“Wheeeng!”

“Wait! There are separate quest conditions.”

Due to Yeongwoo’s restraint, it couldn’t move.

[Mission] Defeat monsters using the bow, 59/2,743 times.

According to the quest content, he had to record 2,743 kills using the bow.

In other words, if the Golden Trail intervened and there weren’t enough remaining monsters, it could lead to quest failure.

“Don’t touch them. Instead, just protect my back. You know what I mean? Just stand firm like a shield.”

As Yeongwoo gave this command and shot arrows again towards the front, the Golden Trail stood in his way like a barrier.

Thunk!

“Luckily, you listen well.”

With the Golden Greatsword positioned like a shield behind him, Yeongwoo deeply cut his left leg like a self-harming child.

Shwaaat!

As blood flowed profusely from his thigh, Yeongwoo’s strength stat increased by 25%.

「Fearful Cat」 – Epic Compass

【Indicates a threatening target.】

【Strength increases by 25% when bleeding.】

The reason Yeongwoo increased his strength while self-harming was purely because this quest ordered him to fight using the “bow”.

“Grraaah!”

Occasionally, there were creatures crawling over the Golden Trail that blocked the rear, but in this case, it was more efficient to simply wield the bow like a sword rather than pull the bowstring.

Slash!

So, he deliberately increased his strength to amplify his close combat abilities.

“Ah…! Indeed, Dogo’s technology is the best in the universe…!”

After slashing nearby enemies with his bow, Yeongwoo shot arrows forward again.

Pshhhhh!

「White Fire」 – Epic Bow

【Sensory perception applies to arrow power.】

【Power increases with arrow distance.】

◇ Dogo: Covert Arrows

◇ Dogo: Special ability damage

Due to the characteristic of “White Fire,” where sensory values ​​are applied to arrow power, Yeongwoo’s attack power against the thousands of monsters surrounding him was truly immense.

If the dungeon boss were present at this moment, he might have been able to obliterate them with just a few arrows.

“I am Jeong Yeongwoo07, a human of the earth, the strongest in Gyeongbuk and Gangnam, and the whole of the northern part of the Korean Peninsula! 「Dogoooooo」!”

As Yeongwoo shouted in a transcendent language, the monsters, who were forced to understand the meaning of 「Dogo」 turned pale.

-This bastard too…?

-He wasn’t a human, was he?

-What… what’s going on?

[Translator – Night]

[Proofreader – Gun]

Finally realizing that there was something huge behind this madman, the dungeon monsters began to retreat without even knowing it.

And then…

-I-I’m scared.

With someone’s word as a trigger, everyone began to stick to the outer wall of the space and flee in all directions as if playing a game of tag.

“Huh? Wait up! It’s not over yet…!”

This time, it was Yeongwoo who was bewildered.

[Mission] Defeat monsters using the bow, 1,321/2,743 times.

Since he still had to kill over a thousand monsters, Yeongwoo limped with his leg bleeding profusely, chasing after the monsters.

“Only a thousand and three hundred! Just a thousand and three hundred left…!”

Thunk!

As Yeongwoo urgently pulled the bowstring, a light from the bow spread his enormous shadow over the legion of monsters and the monsters now began to dodge his aim.

-H-hey!

-Run away!

-Avoid that way!

Like playing tag in a narrow space, the monsters started running around, trying to evade Yeongwoo’s aim.

However, with too many heads to hide and facing someone like the Strongest Sword, dodging Youngwoo’s arrows was nearly impossible, especially since they were just low-level minions deployed for this area.

“They’re all going to die with the technology of 「Dogo」!”

Yeongwoo pulled the bowstring once again.

Trduduk!

Then, beams of light extended from the furnace, casting his massive shadow over the horde of monsters.

-….P-please save us.

[Quest Completed – “Dogo, Supreme Archery”]

[Reward Given]

|3 million karma.

Massacre.

Having exterminated all 2,743 monsters, Yeongwoo received a card with 3 million karma in front of the portal.

Paahh!

The status of Dogo, a universal weapon brand that could shoot cards even in dungeons in other dimensions.

However, Yeongwoo’s expression was not very good.

‘It turned out to be unexpectedly shady.’

He received the promised basic fee of 2 million along with the additional bonus of 1 million for removing the upper garment, but the problem was the number 2,743 that Dogo had set as the completion condition for this quest.

This was because this number perfectly matched the number of monsters that had poured in through the fireplaces earlier.

In other words, if Yeongwoo had checked the quest content even a little late and swung his sword, or if the Golden Trail had gone rampant, it would have inevitably led to quest failure.

‘Of course, since it’s almost like coercion to accept the quest, there’s nothing to say… But was it right to beg for advertising fees in the first place?’

(Optional) [Grade 2 Exclusive Quest]

– Ad fees will be distributed only through exclusive quest achievements.

– The total advertising fee executed increases by about 40 times.

# Basic advertising fee: Estimated 10 million karma per week.

According to the contract, Dogo had to pay about 400 million karma in salaries through quests every week.

Therefore, even if Dogo diligently issued quests to fulfill the promised amount, it would still be insufficient.

‘It’s business, isn’t it? Shouldn’t they handle this on their own?’

After briefly glancing at the empty space above where the card had been shot down, Yeongwoo slowly walked towards the portal in front of him.

Clack, clack.

Soon, the shimmering portal wrapped around Yeongwoo’s entire body and sent him back to the arena.

Shoooaaah!

‘I still can’t get used to this.’

Although it was brief, the peculiar sensation of spatial movement throbbed through his body, and when Yeongwoo opened his eyes, the surrounding scenery had changed to a vast arena.

Quaaak!

As Yeongwoo, just emerging from the portal, set foot on the arena floor, experts from the three East Asian countries, excluding Jeonggu, took a step back with fearful expressions.

“What… why are you acting like that?”

Sensing something strange, Yeongwoo asked, and Jeonggu scratched his head awkwardly before speaking.

“W… we all saw it too.”

“What…?”

“T… that… uh…”

“If you say ‘that,’ how am I supposed to know? What did you see?”

“Dogoooo…!”

“Oh.”

Suddenly feeling embarrassed, Yeongwoo scratched his chin following his father’s lead, then chuckled.

“Huh? But did you hear something? I couldn’t hear anything on the screen.”

Then, Tomiko cautiously spoke up.

“We couldn’t hear it. But when you shouted Dogo, we heard the sound.”

“Oh, only Dogo…?”

Yeongwoo sensed it.

What they heard wasn’t just a “sound,” but the meaning spread by the transcendent language itself.

The transcendent language could penetrate even through relay screens that didn’t output sound.

However, the narrow-minded experts from the three countries were now completely misunderstanding the situation.

“Excuse me, Yeongwoo-nim, but… are you perhaps… an alien?”
