I continued exploring the Dungeon.

I had a map in my hand. I didn't draw this map myself, but it was a gift from the village chief.

With this map, I was at least able to narrow down my search area, so I could find what I was looking for faster.

What I was looking for was a large boulder with a sword slash mark in the center.

I was looking for it because the Sword of Fear was hidden beneath that boulder.

In the Demon Lord and Hero of Light, it was told that before the inventor of the Sword of Fear found the sword, he felt frustrated because he was trapped in the Fog Dungeon.

Whether it's trees, reeds, or even rocks lying in the middle of the road, he destroyed them. In essence, the person destroyed everything.

Of course, by destroying this mountain terrain like crazy people, he would have to face many monsters. However, thanks to that indiscriminate attack, he accidentally smashed a strange boulder, which had the Sword of Fear underneath it.

I didn't need to attack everything in this Dungeon, as that guy did. If I did that, I'd be exhausted fighting all the extra monsters that would appear.

With enough information, I would only need to find the boulder according to the description in the .

'Is it here?'

Finally, I found the boulder that I had looked for.

Before I found this boulder, I had to pay attention to every boulder I encountered.

Like a thief looking at their stolen goods, I had to pay close attention to each boulder that I saw.

It was quite tiring, but the important thing was that I managed to find it.

If you had stuck your sword into a boulder, the imprint would have remained when you pulled it out. That was the kind of boulder that was in front of me.

For some reason, when I saw the boulder in front of me, it reminded me of the story of a hero who started his heroic story by pulling a sword out of a rock.

Luckily, the Sword of Fear wasn't that kind of sword. Maybe because the Sword of Fear wasn't a sword for a hero, that's why it was placed under a boulder.

When I smashed the boulder with all my might, a dark blade started to appear little by little. Starting from the sword hilt, then the tip of the sword, and then finally, the sword was completely freed from the boulder that was restraining it.

I removed all the boulder fragments. Then I held the Sword of Fear with my bare hand.

The black color of the sword blade was very intense. Not only was the blade black, but the hilt was also black.

The overall length of the sword was probably about 85 cm. The shape of this sword itself was like a cross. And this type of sword is a double-edged sword.

[Name:

Grade: Low (?)

Description: A sword was imprisoned in a boulder because it once caused fear throughout the continent of Averus. After being cooped up for a long time, the abilities suffered many setbacks. However, you can improve the performance of the Sword.

Special Ability:

Fear: You can give your opponent the fear effect. The more blood this sword absorbs, the greater the fear effect it can give.

Note: Some abilities are still locked.]

Judging from the description shown by the World System, everything was still in line with what I expected.

Even though some of the abilities have been locked, this sword was still very extraordinary. Perhaps, what makes this sword extraordinary was that there were still other special abilities.

What's more, even though the Grade was only Low at the moment, this sword could still be upgraded.

'If I could improve it, wouldn't that be great?'

In my previous life, after this sword was taken by Jullian, it was never used by Jullian at all. This sword was replaced by the Sword of Light.

Like dust blown by the wind, this sword was never heard of again, neither in the nor in my previous life.

Well, apart from that…

'With this, I was semi-successful in clearing this dungeon.

Because the original inventor of this sword found this sword before confronting the boss monster, he was able to get out of this dungeon even though he was by himself. Otherwise, that person could never get out of this place.

[Congratulations! You have completed the first Fier Mountain Inquiry quest completion conditions.]

[Clear Condition 2 has been unlocked.]

[Completion Conditions:

1. Find or retrieve the Sword of Fear (done).

2. Finding or clearing the Fog Dungeon.

3. ?

4. ?]

Apart from the notification about the mission I had, I was more concerned about the other thing.

While stroking the Sword of Fear in my hand, I thought that I should give the Sword of Fear a name.

The name Sword of Fear was a nickname, so wouldn't it be strange if I called this sword by its nickname?

It wasn't that I had a disease common to middle school kids, a disease commonly called chuunibyou or something.

There was a reason why I had to give the Sword of Fear a name.

In the Demon Lord and the Hero of Light, the sword's original inventor also gave the Sword of Fear a name.

But he was too late to give a name.

It happened during the scene of the Sword of Fear wielding against Jullian.

Have you ever heard of a plot twist? That was also the case when the inventor of the Sword of Fear gave the name Sword of Fear.

Shortly, before defeat came to him, the holder of the Sword of Fear gave a name to the sword in his hand.

After giving the Sword of Fear a name, it was said that the Sword of Fear became a scarier weapon. But still, the wielder of the Sword of Fear lost.

However, it was said that Jullian had to fight back desperately.

"I will give you the name Svangur, which comes from a sparsely populated country on earth. Svangur which means hungry. In that way, you will be known as the ever-hungry sword."

[You have succeeded in naming the Sword of Fear Svangur.]

[The sword grade has increased.]

[Name: Svangur Sword

Grade: Middle (?)

Note: Some abilities are still locked.]

'Straight up one level, huh.'

[Congratulations! You have become the owner of the Sword of Fear.]

[If you can't feed your sword, you will likely lose the qualification as the owner of the Sword of Fear.]

Even though I was pleased with my success in obtaining the Svangur Sword, my enjoyment had to stop there for the moment.

***

Some time has passed.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

I'm currently in a sad state. I had a hard time determining how long I had been in the Fog Dungeon.

Day and night make no difference because light cannot enter into the fog.

Don't forget that this is a Dungeon.

Some say that the Dungeon is a world separated from reality. It is only natural, then, that we should put aside our general knowledge of general matters.

At first glance, anyone who saw me would feel very sorry. Because I just sat quietly leaning against a tree. Also, I didn't forget to hug the Sword of Fear for safety's sake.

In one glance, I would have looked like someone who could no longer fight. But, when you look into my eyes, you will know that I am not in a relaxed position. I was just pretending to be in a near-death state.

It's only natural that I look rundown and pathetic. While I was in this dungeon, I neither ate nor slept.

So, I was really hungry and sleepy. My eyelids begged me to close my eyes. My stomach rebelled, commanding me to fill up immediately.

According to what I know, one can only survive without food and water for about a week. But, I guessed that probably almost three days had passed because I felt like I was starting to go into a state of ketosis.

However, I had to endure it so I could meet the boss monster of this dungeon.

Fog is a very easy place to hide. Even small children know that. And that's what this boss monster dungeon did.

For the sake of pulling that boss monster out, I have to be in this miserable state.

It was the custom of this dungeon's monster boss that he would wait for the people who entered the dungeon to be in this miserable state. Only then will he appear and eat us.

What made others disappear or die and never get out of the fog was because of this boss monster that was always hiding.

Then why didn't I look for it?

It would be a different story if a large army was deployed to complete this dungeon. With a large army, it will be easy to find it. Even to kill the boss monster. But …

In the past, there was once a large army that was mobilized to explore this Fier Mountain. But they failed. Since then, there has never been another large army roaming this place.

Though, according to what was written in the s, one only needed to defeat this dungeon's boss monster to exit.

However, the question of how one could go insane after exiting the dungeon had yet to be answered. It is not told in the at all.

I'm sure I'll find out later myself.

Crackle!

Crack!

Creek!

Finally what I was waiting for came too.

[Skill Hear of Everything - Active.]

A very clear sound of movement rang in my ears. The sound came from the tree I was leaning against. His voice indicated that the tree I was leaning on started to move causing the leaves on the tree to fall.

Noticing a strange movement in the tree I was leaning against, I immediately kicked the ground and stepped away. When I turned around, I could see that the tree I was leaning on earlier had moved like a living thing.

"A surprise attack, huh? It's a natural thing for monsters who like to hide."
