Boss monster hunt.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this event, the main content of the dungeon攻略 broadcast, drew countless terrestrial broadcast viewers.
Haenampa and Asan Guild.
How would both sides perform, and how smoothly would they take down the boss monster?
How would they respond if an unexpected situation arose?
If casualties appeared, how disastrous would it get?
The boss monster hunt had so many aspects to look forward to.

Thinking back to when the Silent Swordsman took down the boss in the Beastman Valley, another legend might be added today.
Agreed.
But why does it feel like the firepower’s lacking?
The hardcore fans still haven’t left the waiting room in outer space.
Wait, the room leader is here, so what are they doing in an empty house?
Of course, there were always some eccentric people who paid no attention to the broadcast that everyone else was looking forward to.

Wait, the Silent Swordsman is coming out as a regular panelist for a biweekly broadcast? The broadcast schedule is insane, is this for real?
Hey, Kim, stop talking nonsense and come help with the docking work.
We’ll be living in space anyway after this broadcast ends.
Yeah, we’ll just have to start building houses first.
Young.
Car.
Young.
Car and all, I’m going to watch the broadcast, see ya.
Believing that a broadcast with a manager wouldn’t suddenly disappear overnight, the viewers began getting ready to move into outer space.

Who the hell is buying a bench in space?
Buying one is fine, but you shouldn’t buy 100,000 benches and let them burn up in the atmosphere, you’re crazy.
Haha, watching those space construction newbies get sucked into the atmosphere is hilarious.
Now, most of the viewers, except for the space construction teams who were enjoying their own content, gathered happily for the second broadcast.

Isn’t it amazing how our teacher doesn’t get intimidated even when surrounded by celebrities?
She never loses in looks.
She’s so cute when she doesn’t talk.
She normally doesn’t talk, what are you talking about?
Isn’t that guy an Asan Guild spy?
Perform an account autopsy!!!
(Account deleted)
Loyal fans easily repelled the sabotage attempts of competing guild spies and smoothly watched episode two.

?
?
Why are you blocking that, you freak?
[Training should be done like it's real combat. Next time we meet a boss monster, we should practice breaking through a 10-hit parry and getting the damage in.]

What the hell?
Who the hell trains like that, you freak!
You need to kill the boss to get the commission points! Are you not going to manage the gate?
Here we go again with some weird stuff.
You can’t even understand it, seriously.
What kind of freaky boss monster does 10-hit parries?
Isn’t there a boss in Beastman Valley that does that?
Isn’t that 4-hit parrying though?
Yeah, that’s the lowest difficulty level.
Until the end of the training, the Silent Swordsman tried to keep the boss monster alive, while Nina and Nanase aimed to kill the boss monster to finish their training.
The poor boss monster was getting caught up in a fight that wasn’t even a proper fight between the three ascended beings.
From the start, the boss monster, losing the will to live, hesitated and then gave up resisting, curling up in a corner, which caused the viewers to burst into laughter.

This isn’t a boss monster!!
The true final boss was the Silent Swordsman.
Can they surpass me, their master?
Sudden betrayer, hahaha.
The difficulty is ruined, seriously.
But it’s clear that they’re getting stronger.
Why is this kind of training effective?
[If you don’t get up, I’ll hit you harder.]

With the whip, the Silent Swordsman hit and struck with the sword sheath, while the constant bleating sounds of the boss monster in the boss room persisted.
Eventually, when the Silent Swordsman’s hands jabbed at the boss monster’s body, the Minotaur cried even louder than when it had been whipped, its eyes bloodshot as it stood up again.

[Alright, now that you're ready, start again.]

Hahahaha
Look at their faces, they’re so sour hahaha
The expressions of everyone fighting, except for the Silent Swordsman, are all the same haha
At this point, isn’t it that to become a guild leader, you have to have some personality? You can’t find a guild leader anywhere with decent character.
Agreed.
Oh, oh, the guy’s running away, catch him!!
Hold on, Minotaur. Ah, just hold on, hahaha.
Hahaha.
Domehuangcha!!
Is there a boss monster running out of the boss room?
How did the notebook-swinging Silent Swordsman do that?
Is this the power of the Silent Swordsman with a notebook?
If they use a sword, is it even stronger than this?
I’m not sure. We only saw the sword-wielding version, but now that I think about it, the notebook seems stronger.
Hahaha.
It was a failed attempt, but the Minotaur’s desperate escape attempt was blocked by Shin Seong-gwak’s wall and ended in failure.

[It seems this monster is broken now. It no longer has value as a training opponent, so please let these two who’ve suffered finish it comfortably.]

Having deemed that training was no longer possible, the Silent Swordsman gave the order to kill the boss monster.
Nina and Nanase, fearing that the Silent Swordsman might change their mind, poured attack after attack on the lifeless corpse, tearing the body apart.

The massive slaughter scene ㅠㅠ
You’re seriously a beast.
Truly horrifying! But it can’t be worse than the radar attacking the settlement. I’ll mark it on the map.
That bastard who’s been giving out quests since more than 30 years ago, still haunting us.
Hahaha, you can say "bastard" and "freak," but if you use "XX" how bad are you implying they are?
Suicide?
Marriage?
Don’t do it, you XX bastard.
100% adaptability hahaha
The boss monster was slain, but they had taken too long.
While other guilds could clear two or three dungeons in the time Haenampa barely cleared one.
Everyone assumed that the amount of mana gathered in the void stone would obviously be the lowest, but one viewer noticed something strange.

What the heck? Why is the Silent Swordsman’s void stone like that?
?
Oh? Why is it so full??
Wait, they cleared one dungeon but have ten times as much mana??
Did they clear nine dungeons just for fun before this broadcast?
Half-time needs to release the unseen footage!
Where’s the hidden stuff in the Silent Swordsman’s broadcast?
Release the Silent Swordsman’s boss monster hunt!
It seemed like the highlight footage had been tightly kept hidden.
However, the Half-time production team monitoring the broadcast was equally confused.
The Silent Swordsman’s secret boss monster hunts and hidden footage didn’t even exist from the start.

5.

Right after the boss was defeated,
Hae Eung-eung sensed the flow of turbulent Qi.
The large magic circle, used to create the dungeon and summon monsters and boss monsters, was liberated and scattered. The tainted Qi that came from it began to turn into experience points, either heading toward the allies or spreading throughout the entire gate.

‘That unpleasant energy again. But if I gather it, I can earn gate performance competition points, right?’

Hae Eung-eung didn’t care much about the gate commissions, but others around her certainly did.

‘If we leave it unchecked, a second Myeongho Guild might show up, taking over the gate and causing trouble. It’s better to deal with it now.’

A level right before the peak, a realm approaching the pinnacle.
The energy accumulated from 14 years of effort tempted the scattering tainted Qi.
The foul and disgusting tainted energy found the pure and refined Qi the perfect energy source to fuel itself.
The thread of her inner energy spread from the void stone, reaching out in all directions like a spider’s web.

[Dungeon Boss <Minotaur (B)> has been defeated.]
[Dungeon progress has reached 100%.]
[Some of the dungeon’s mana is converted into experience points.]

<Cheonghae Shimbeop> <Kimak>
[Failed to absorb experience points.]
[Failed to level up.]
[You possess a void stone.]
[The void stone absorbs the experience points instead.]
[The void stone’s efficiency in absorbing experience points increases.]
[Most of the dungeon’s mana is absorbed, not returned to the gate.]
[Gate progress increases by 0.04%.]
[Gate progress increases by 0.11%.]
[Gate progress increases by 0.25%.]

Despite clearing the dungeon, the tainted Qi that should have been returned to the gate was caught in Hae Eung-eung’s inner energy web and absorbed into the void stone, rapidly increasing the progress.

‘As expected. So this is how it works.’

Gate progress depends on how much of the tainted Qi within the dungeon leaks out.
Normally, ascended beings would absorb the tainted Qi themselves after clearing the dungeon by killing mobs or the boss, which would lower the progress.
But Hae Eung-eung used her inner energy and void stone to maximize the leakage of tainted Qi.

‘Even though others only have about 10% of the tainted Qi going back to the gate, my efficiency is much higher.’

With 10 times the efficiency in hunting and dungeon clearing, that was why her void stone contained so much mana.
Even if she cleared dungeons leisurely, without the ability to sense the flow of Qi and absorb energy, she would have to clear 10 times the dungeons to win in a competition.

The Royal Club’s Han Chae-rin didn’t know this, so she had given up on gaining points in the gate performance competition.
But for a martial arts returnee, the gate performance competition was overwhelmingly advantageous from the start.
