Chapter 69. Youre Good At Running Away
People were confused. No one had entered the Valley of Lament — a dungeon that had appeared less than a month ago, except for the initial investigation by the Il-Young Guild.
"What is going on here?"
Hunters, including Son Chang-Il and Choi Sang-Gyu, asked the soldier at the post. Seeing the sudden approach of the guild leaders and other prominent Hunters, the soldier stood at attention and replied nervously.
"I-I don't know! According to our records, no one has entered!"
Then, the soldier showed the dungeon entry logs. They were clean, only noting the initial investigation a month ago. Everyone who had gone in at that time had returned safely.
"Check the video surveillance footage," Son Chang-Il ordered one of his subordinates.
With a nervous look, the subordinate nodded and started reviewing the footage with the soldier. However, despite thorough checking, no one was seen entering the dungeon.
"It could have been someone with stealth abilities," one Hunter suggested.
"That's the most likely explanation," Son Chang-Il said, frowning.
Things would get complicated if an unauthorized individual cleared a dungeon. Beyond issues like tax evasion, if the culprit were a foreign Hunter, this could become a matter of national pride and security. In a world where dungeon resources equated to national strength, closing another country's dungeon without detection was no small issue.
"A powerful individual with stealth abilities who can take down an A-rank dungeon boss alone..." Son Chang-Il muttered.
