Gold coins, gold bricks, and even more gold granules and nuggets gushed out like a tidal wave.
Kieran, John, Duke Wayne, and Guntherson and Carl, who were standing outside the corridor, were stunned by the scene.
"My riches!
My riches! "
Duke Wayne yelled out.
"It's really here?"
Kieran was dumbfounded.
He never would have thought that the Church of Dawn's riches, which had been accumulated over a thousand years, would be hidden here.
Kieran remembered what Guntherson had said when he had chosen this place for the ambush.
"The Council Hall is hiding the Church of Dawn's riches?"
"As early as fifty years ago, I checked it!"
"Every wall is made of a single piece of rock. There shouldn't be any secret rooms or passageways!"
The Guardian Knight would never lie.
However, the facts before Kieran's eyes told him that Guntherson was wrong. The walls were made of a single piece of rock, so there shouldn't be any secret rooms or passageways.
They were there to protect the Church of Dawn's riches, which had been accumulated over a thousand years.
It was like the lid of a treasure chest!
Kieran had to admire the person who had designed such a concealment method. Maybe the person was not famous, but they must have been very familiar with human nature.
However, no matter how surprised Kieran was, he did not forget that he was in danger.
"Let's go!"
Kieran grabbed John's hand and started running again.
They were in even more danger than before.
Compared to the crumbling hall, the swarm of gold was undoubtedly more dangerous.
Once they were buried, they would not be able to escape.
John was pulled back to reality by Kieran, but Duke Wayne was not so lucky. He only came back to his senses when Kieran and John started running again.
It had been less than a second!
Sometimes, a second could mean the difference between life and death.
Duke Wayne could feel the rumbling behind him.
He had never hated gold as much as he did now.
He wanted to get away from it.
However, nothing would change according to anyone's will.
Duke Wayne was no exception.
Even though he was giving it his all, the tremors behind him were getting closer and closer. It was like a hungry beast closing in on its prey.
Panic and fear!
Sweat soaked Duke Wayne's shirt in an instant.
He didn't want to die!
He had power and status that ordinary people could not imagine, and he had countless plans that he had yet to implement.
How could he die like this?
No!
I can't die!
Even if we die, it's you who deserve it!
As death approached, Duke Wayne's sanity was completely distorted.
He looked at Kieran and John who were running in front of him.
In the next moment, he threw himself at Kieran and John.
"Die!"
Duke Wayne's face was twisted as he squeezed the words out of his throat like a ghost.
Kieran and John were right in front of them.
"Be careful!"
Carl, who was standing outside the hall, screamed when he saw the scene.
Just as Carl's voice was heard, Kieran turned around and kicked Duke Wayne's face as if he had foreseen Carl's movement. Just as Duke Wayne's hand was about to grab their clothes, Kieran's foot landed on his face.
Bang!
The tremendous force sent Duke Wayne flying backward, and he was engulfed by the countless pieces of gold.
Kieran's D- Intuition was able to detect Duke Wayne's sudden attack.
In fact, when the enemy was behind him, it was impossible for Kieran not to pay attention.
The moment Duke Wayne made his move, Kieran was ready to counterattack.
Such a counterattack was a piece of cake for Kieran.
Perhaps the other party was extremely powerful and influential in this city.
But his personal strength?
It wasn't even worth mentioning.
In order to deal with unexpected situations, Duke Wayne had gone through some training when he was young.
However, when he inherited the title of nobility and became the head of the clan, he had long since forgotten about the training. Moreover, he was getting older.
Duke Wayne's seemingly ruthless attack was, in fact, just an ordinary person's desperate attempt to fight to the death.
In Kieran's eyes, it was a piece of cake for him since he was prepared for it.
Therefore, the moment Duke Wayne threw himself at Kieran, his defeat was already decided.
"No!"
Duke Wayne's scream stopped abruptly.
Red flashed in the gold, and the wave of gold engulfed Duke Wayne in an instant. It was heading straight for Kieran and John.
After sending Duke Wayne flying with a kick, Kieran did not even bother to see what would happen to Duke Wayne after he had been kicked back. He started running again.
Kieran knew that if he did not want to end up like Duke Wayne, he would have to run as fast as he could.
However, after Duke Wayne's delay, the wave of gold was getting closer and closer.
"Don't worry about me, run!"
John shouted at Kieran, who was supporting him as he felt the tremors behind him.
John knew that if it were not for him, Kieran would have already run out of the hall. Now that Kieran was supporting him, the two of them would be dragged into the wave of gold.
John grinned at Kieran and broke free from Kieran's support. He waved at Kieran and shouted, "Run!"
As soon as he shouted, half of John's body was engulfed by the wave of gold.
Kieran turned around and tried to pull John out.
Although Kieran's logic told him to keep running, Kieran's body was not under his control.
He had no idea what he was doing.
When he grabbed Sheriff John and looked at the wave of gold in front of him, he realized what a stupid thing he had done.
He had actually lost his life for a native …
Kieran could not help but show a bitter smile.
John was completely stunned. He looked at Kieran, who was trying his best to pull him back. He suddenly felt that it was his honor to have a friend like Kieran.
"Sir! Sir Kieran! "
Carl cried out in shock outside the hall.
The Guardian Knight frowned.
The scene in front of him reminded him of something he would never want to recall.
Last time, he could not do anything.
But this time?
Crack! Crack!
Amidst the crackling of his joints, a formless stream of air began to burst forth from the Guardian Knight's body, converging towards his hands. His already tall body suddenly grew a few inches taller in the air.
"Dawn!"
The Guardian Knight growled and pushed his hands forward.
Kaboom!
The formless airflow turned into something tangible.
It was straight and long!
It was extremely violent!
It was like a dragon coming out of the sea, crashing into the golden wave.
Bang!
Kaboom!
The moment it crashed into the golden wave, the tangible airflow exploded.
Countless gold pieces flew all over the place.
The golden wave paused uncontrollably.
Seizing the opportunity, Kieran grabbed John and sprinted forward again.
When the two of them rushed out of the hall and were about to enter the corridor, a golden coffin that was originally submerged in the golden waves appeared. As if riding the wind and breaking the waves, the golden coffin also rushed out of the hall and entered the corridor, crashing into the wall at the side.
Bang!
The lid of the golden coffin, which had stopped because of the collision, was suddenly pushed open, and two figures jumped out.
"Altilly Hunter?!"
"Jimmy?!"
Kieran and John couldn't help but cry out in surprise when they saw the two figures appear out of nowhere.
The two people who suddenly appeared were also stunned.
However, as soon as they thought of something, their expressions changed.
"Run! There's a monster!"
Both of them said at the same time.
Roar!
A deep roar came clearly from the hall that was filled with gold.
Kieran's D- Rank Intuition granted him vision, allowing him to faintly see a huge figure.
At the same time —
[Player has completed Main Mission: Find Altilly Hunter or her body within a month]
[Player will leave the newbie dungeon in 5 minutes …]
[Please take whatever items you wish to keep with you!]
(Note: Items that exceed the maximum weight limit will be automatically identified as items that cannot be brought out of the dungeon!)
There was more than one notification in the system though.
[Name: Shattered Ruby]
[Type: Gemstone]
[Rarity: Great]
[Attributes: When embedded on weapon or armor, it will provide 1-2 points of Fire Damage to your weapon or 1% -2% Fire Resistance to your armor!]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]
[Remarks: Its value far surpasses normal jewelry!]
...
It was a red gemstone the size of a fingernail that was clipped to Kieran's shirt.
It seemed like after Guntherson's [Dawn] had blasted the golden wave, the gold pieces had fallen on Kieran's body.
Kieran looked at the red gemstone in his hand and then at the gold-filled hall. Among the gold coins and nuggets, there were a lot of glowing gemstones.
Kieran's body trembled.
A thought popped up in Kieran's mind.
