The Homemaker of the Dungeon
Chapter 156

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 156

The zombies fell into the mud and struggled.

But that was only for a moment.

Hundreds of zombies came rushing in like a tide. In the blink of an eye, the muddy pit was filled with zombies.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The mindless corpses stepped on or climbed on top of each other. I just moved forward to where Heena and the others were.

“Hwaaaap!”

Kim Suna swung his fist with a loud cheering sound.

Fuuuuuuu! A vicious wind of power arose around Kim Suna.

Heewon and Heena were beside him, swinging their weapons vigorously.

‘Jinhyeon! cheer up!’

Heena looked at the back of Kang Jin-hyeon running towards the necromancer.

Everywhere he passed, zombies burst out like the Red Sea.

It was a destructive inaction that could only be seen because there was nothing to protect behind.

The necromancer seemed angry at the resistance of the insignificant humans.

[My… descendants…!]

[I will drop them… into the fires of hell…!]

Kang Jin-hyeon answered with a calm face.

“no. “I’ll cut your head off first.”

To be precise, he was planning to break the Life Vessel that contained the Lich Necromancer’s life force.

The thick energy flowing from the palm of the hand swayed and formed the shape of a sword.

Kang Jin-hyeon counted the time in his mind.

‘2 seconds.’

It was enough time to stab the sword into the life vessel in the necromancer’s arms.

Slut!

He became a flash of light and quickly reached the enemy’s sight.

“done.”

The moment he muttered and stabbed himself in the air, a look of puzzlement crossed Kang Jin-hyeon’s face.

‘What is this?’

I didn’t feel the resistance that I normally feel when poking something.

And…

[Stupid… human…!]

Kang Jin-hyeon twisted his body to avoid the intense killing feeling coming from behind.

However, it failed to completely escape the aftermath of the attack.

“…Ugh!”

It was just a passing of energy, but green blisters instantly appeared on the back of my hand.

However, it was more important to understand the situation than to look at the pain.

Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes shone sharply.

‘Magic…? ‘Is it teleportation?’

It was an unbelievable ability.

Although he had experience dealing with numerous monsters, this was the first time in his life that a monster used such transcendent abilities.

‘It’s even possible to communicate with humans.’

It felt like I was dealing with a powerful awakened person rather than a monster.

It was irregular.

Kang Jin-hyeon quickly erased his embarrassment and regained his composure.

‘But it’s just a monster.’

He turned again and charged towards the necromancer.

However, the necromancer narrowly avoided Kang Jin-hyeon’s attacks every time.

I hope that such battles will continue several times.

Jinhyeon Kang bit his lip.

‘The more time passes, the more disadvantageous it becomes.’

Even though the party had awakened as advanced awakeners, it was almost like their first actual battle.

In a way, it was a situation similar to a gathering of strong children.

What is more important than anything else is physical strength.

The boss battle had to be ended before the party’s stamina reached its limit.

‘But I can’t reach it.’

It was not easy for Kang Jin-hyeon, who was accustomed to close-range combat, to deal with an opponent who disappeared far away as soon as he attacked.

‘If there were long-distance combatants, the situation might have been a little different.’

The person that came to Kang Jin-hyeon’s mind was Heena.

Heena’s ability range is about 20 meters in radius.

It was within the teleportation range of the boss monster.

‘But the key is whether Heena’s ability can handle S-class monsters.’

Although Heena’s cleaning skill has been used to deal with boss monsters, this was only a low-level dungeon boss around D-rank.

I have only dealt with monsters lower than Heena’s skill rank, which is B grade.

‘But it might be worth a try as a last resort.’

It was the moment when Kang Jin-hyeon glanced at the group.

Paaaaat!

The end of Heena’s newspaper drew a round wave. The air resounded around him.

It was a skill I was familiar with after seeing it a few times.

The cleaning skill was activated.

“Ahh!”

Kim Suna, who was playing the role of a tanker on the front line, was bitten on the arm by a zombie.

Since the zombies were defeated in an instant, it could be said that it was only a fleeting moment.

However, that small gap was enough to breach the defense line.

Geez!

Zombies rushed in as if a bomb had exploded.

The zombies’ first target was Kim Suna.

“Oh, no!”

In a situation like this, it was natural for Heena to activate her cleaning skill.

“Yaaaaap!”

She swung the newspaper with all her might, and soon a huge wave arose centered around Heena.

Paaaaat!

As soon as the vibration of the air was felt, the zombies disappeared at the same time. No, it was erased in thin air.

It was like a scene from a movie.

Kim Soo-na, who almost escaped having her neck ripped off by dozens of zombies, let out a helpless laugh.

“…her.”

Just like that, the zombies within a 20 meter radius disappeared and I had some time to spare.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, people flocked to Kim Suna.

“Soo Suna!”

“Hwanwoong, please treat me!”

“Oh, okay, Dad!”

While everyone was distracted by Kim Suna, Heena collapsed on the floor with a sigh.

‘I’m so tired…’

Perhaps because I used my skills in an urgent situation, I didn’t have the time to control my strength. Thanks to this, my energy was completely gone.

My vision became blurry. It wouldn’t be strange if he fainted at any time.

“sister! are you okay?”

It was Kwon Da-hye who supported Hee-na.

Kang Jin-hyeon looked worriedly at Hee-na, who was clawing in Kwon Da-hye’s arms.

‘Heena…’

Heena used the cleaning skill. Thanks to this, the momentary situation became much more favorable.

But that didn’t mean they won.

The State of Xi lost one combatant and used up an area-of-effect weapon that could be used in a final situation.

Of course, it was an unavoidable situation in order to save the party, but… it is true that it was unfortunate that the skill was used earlier than expected.

Kang Jin-hyeon counted the numbers.

‘Still, since we’ve solved most of the small issues… I can’t say it’s the worst situation.’

This meant that the safety of the party was guaranteed for a while.

‘In the meantime, somehow catch the boss.’

Kang Jin-hyeon glared at the necromancer floating in the air.

Even though the black monster, or rather the necromancer, took a direct hit from Heena’s cleaning skill, he was in good condition without a single wound.

‘As expected, it was impossible to catch an S-rank dungeon boss with a B-level cleaning skill…?’

It was a pity.

But the necromancer didn’t seem to think so.

[…How dare you!]

The monster raised the staff in his hand high into the sky.

[Field of Death!]

The coniferous trees soaring high into the sky crumbled one by one, and the ground began to turn a mottled purple.

It was the second phase dog attack following the zombie horde attack.

Heewon wiped the bleeding nose with the back of her hand.

“Oh shit!”

Jeong Su-won supported Hee-won and dragged her along.

“Move your feet quickly! “If I continue like this, I will get addicted and die!”

The field attack cast by the S-class necromancer was inflicting tremendous damage on the party, and lower rankers with weaker poison resistance were more easily affected by it.

This was the reason why Heewon’s nosebleeds did not stop.

Kwon Da-hye, who was not awakened, and Hee-na, who was semi-fazed, were barely able to avoid the poisonous floor while being carried on other people’s backs.

“there! Come up there! “Dodge further forward!”

“Ahh!”

People slowly became addicted.

The veins in my eyes burst and my nose bleed from the miasma rising from the ground.

It was truly a bloody situation.

‘shit!’

Kang Jin-hyeon let out a harsh curse that was not typical of him.

The situation was rapidly deteriorating and he still had not been able to cut down the necromancer.

I could feel that the time given to the group was decreasing.

Kang Jin-hyeon gritted his teeth.

‘I can’t protect it…’

I never thought there was something he couldn’t do with his strength.

But that was arrogance.

Even though there were people behind his back that he was supposed to protect, he was not able to use his power properly.

At the moment when his abilities are most needed!

I felt an unbearable sense of helplessness.

‘…It’s painful.’

Kang Jin-hyeon was not the only one who felt helpless.

Dahye Kwon was like that too, looking at the group screaming while carrying her mother on her back.

Even Kwon Hwan-woong, who is only ten years old, is squeezing out all his magical power to restore people’s weakening physical strength.

‘Why do I have no power!’

I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t awaken. It wasn’t a childish feeling like I wanted to have strong power too.

“Cough!”

Heena, who was riding on Kim Su-na’s back, vomited black blood. The poison had seeped into my weakened body.

“Heena unnie!”

Frustration overtook Kwon Da-hye.

A kind voice rang in my ears.

‘It’s okay just to receive it for now. Instead, you can just help others the next time you have the energy.’

Heena promised the future.

However, if things continue like this, Dahye Kwon will not even be given the opportunity to help others.

Even a chance to say thank you!

That fact was the most difficult thing for Dahye Kwon.

‘I want to help too.’

I clenched my fists. My fingernails dug into my palms.

The nails digging into her palms felt painful, but that pain was nothing compared to the sadness, despair, and helplessness that Dahye Kwon felt.

‘…I don’t like that!’

As I was screaming, letters began to appear before my eyes one by one.

The scattered letters were combined together to form a sentence.

It was the moment when Dahye Kwon, an unprecedented S-class buffer, appeared in the world.
