When the gold had broken through the wall, Kieran had wanted to take as much as he could with him.
Kieran believed that as long as it wasn't too much, Guntherson would agree to it.
However, with Altilly Hunter's appearance and the completion of the Main Mission, Kieran's plan had been hindered.
Five minutes and the fact that he couldn't exceed his own carrying capacity had left Kieran at his wit's end once again.
Deep down in his heart, Kieran was once again cursing the guy who had set up the rule of not exceeding his own carrying capacity.
However, the unexpected appearance of the gemstones had turned the situation around.
Compared to the heavy gold, these extremely small and light gemstones were undoubtedly more suitable for him.
His experience in the gold farming workshop had taught Kieran how valuable it was to be able to add additional attributes to his equipment.
That was why Kieran had made up his mind.
Roar!
Another low growl was heard. The gigantic figure was getting clearer and clearer. Even the others could see its silhouette.
Everyone started to back away.
Only Kieran stood there in a daze.
"Let's go!"
John pulled Kieran, who was still in a daze.
"You guys go first … I'll cover you!
Someone has to attract the monster's attention!
Otherwise, none of us will be able to escape!
That monster's speed is not something we can outrun with our two legs! "
Kieran said quickly.
In a short period of time, the monster had crawled from the unknown depth of the cave to a spot less than 10 meters away from the main hall. It had shown its extraordinary speed.
Other than Kieran and Guntherson, no one else could match its speed.
However, the Guardian Knight looked dispirited. As a matter of fact, Guntherson couldn't even stand up straight after unleashing that astounding attack.
It was obvious that the previous attack had exhausted the Guardian Knight.
They had turned their strongest fighting force into a decoration.
The only one who could hold the monster back was Kieran.
That was exactly what Kieran had planned.
"I'll do it!"
Sheriff John said immediately.
"Your injury has already been decided. My speed is definitely faster than yours!"
Kieran shook his head and walked towards Carl. He took the box with his weapons from Carl's shoulder and quickly took out all the weapons before looking at Guntherson.
"If there's a chance, I really want to learn this move!"
Kieran smiled and said.
"There will be a chance!"
The Guardian Knight said confidently.
However, Kieran knew that he wouldn't get the chance to do so.
After leaving the dungeon, the two of them would no longer communicate with each other.
Therefore, Kieran only smiled again in the end.
"Take care of your teacher, and remember to ask your father to give the rest of the money to Karl. When you have a girl you like, you can't do it without money!"
Kieran gestured to the tall, red-haired Altilly Hunter.
Kieran had wanted to repay the young officer's help in another way.
However, it seemed like he had to do it in a more direct way.
Kieran's farewell was forced to stop as the monster got closer and closer.
The golden waves that had calmed down suddenly swelled up. The monster was hiding under the gold, diving towards the group like a fish in water.
"Carl, take John and go back the way we came!"
Kieran said as he turned around and dashed towards the main hall.
"Kieran!
Sir Kieran! "
A shout came from behind. Kieran waved his right hand to bid farewell.
He pulled out the [U-2] grenade with his left hand and rolled to the side.
The monster was already within reach.
Fwaaa!
Amidst the sound of a fish breaking through the water, the monster jumped out from under the gold and brushed past Kieran's body. It jumped up and revealed its true form.
It was a crocodile!
It was a giant white armored crocodile that was 15 meters long and four to five meters wide.
Its head alone was three meters long. Its scarlet eyes were ferocious and cold as it stared at its prey, Kieran.
The giant crocodile opened its mouth, which looked like it could swallow a car whole, and threw itself at Kieran.
The next moment …
Boom!
The [U-2] grenade that Kieran tossed out exploded in the crocodile's mouth.
However, the [U-2] grenade, which could tear a person to shreds, did not cause any trouble to the crocodile. All it did was scratch its skin a little.
[Explosion: Inflicts 200 Damage to Target HP, Target has High Tensile Armor and High Iron Skin, Resisted 180 Damage, 20 True Damage Inflicted to Target HP...]
Kieran could not help but frown at the result.
He had tried his best to overestimate the crocodile, but reality told him that he had still underestimated it.
The system's battlelog was enough for Kieran to understand what he was up against.
It seemed like the crocodile's existence was the Church of Dawn's last resort to protect the thousand-year-old treasure.
If the Church of Dawn had a legacy like the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art], then it was not surprising that they had other special methods.
It was not surprising that they could create one or two alchemy or magical creatures that were out of the ordinary.
The two skills that the crocodile was immune to were proof enough.
Besides that, Kieran was sure that the giant crocodile's HP was not just one or two hundred. Judging from its huge size, it must have a very strong physique.
Kieran would not be surprised if the crocodile had more than five or six hundred HP.
At first, Kieran was still hoping that he could kill the monster with a fluke.
However, the giant crocodile's defensive capabilities made Kieran give up on the idea of killing it.
Fortunately, the crocodile's attack had attracted the crocodile's attention.
"Run!"
Kieran shouted at the others, who were still in a daze.
Looking at the crocodile's ferocious face and hearing Kieran's shout, the others woke up from their daze.
"Let's go!"
Guntherson was the first one to speak up.
The Guardian Knight knew what was the right thing to do.
No matter how unwilling he was, he would still have to do it.
"B-But …"
Carl stuttered, trying to say something.
Likewise, Chief John stood still on the spot.
Pak, Pak!
Two crisp sounds later, 'Blackhand' Jimmy, who had delivered a karate chop to each of them, helped the two unconscious men up.
"Let's go!"
Jimmy said straightforwardly.
Guntherson, who came from a gang, knew what he had to do.
The group quickly went back the way they came.
Kieran, who had dodged another attack from the crocodile, let out a breath of relief when he saw the others leave.
It would have been hard for him to carry out his plan under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
After all, if he were to dodge the crocodile's attack and pick up the gemstones at the same time, it would definitely raise suspicions.
Even the greediest person would not do that.
Moreover, his identity in this dungeon was not the kind of guy who would sacrifice his life for money.
That was why he could only boldly pick up the gemstones after the crowd had left.
Of course, he had to be careful of the crocodile.
The crocodile was strong, fast, and had an indestructible defense. Plus its huge body, it was a ferocious beast.
If Kieran had to fight it head on, even the Guardian Knight would not have been a match for it, let alone the current Kieran.
Fortunately, the crocodile's huge body was not agile enough.
All Kieran had to do was dodge.
His E rank Agility and his small but nimble body compared to the crocodile's size allowed Kieran to have the upper hand.
Kaboom!
The crocodile was as thick as a water tank, and its tail was six to seven meters long. With a sweep, it smashed into the pile of gold.
Kieran did a roll and dodged the sweep of the crocodile's tail.
The strong wind caused by the tail still made Kieran's body feel sluggish.
However, with enough strength, Kieran was able to successfully complete the roll and dodge.
Moreover, before Kieran made the next roll, his palm swept past his body and grabbed a gemstone in his hand.
Boom!
The crocodile's tail once again brushed past Kieran, who was still rolling.
While Kieran was rolling on the ground and dodging the incoming attacks, he grabbed another gemstone that came into sight.
Then, the crocodile stood up and its huge body smashed down on Kieran like a mountain. Boom!
Boom! Boom!
It was as if tons of explosives had exploded. Countless gold and jewelry flew into the air under the huge force. Kieran's figure was among them. His palm aimed at the gemstones and quickly reached out, leaving a series of afterimages. This speed almost broke through the limit of Kieran's E rank Agility.
Just like Kieran had said, if he had to carry a 100-kilogram rock, he would not have dared to do so.
But if he was given 100 kilograms of federal coins … Kieran not only believed that he could carry it, but he could also run faster than anyone else.
Now that he was faced with valuable gemstones, Kieran carried out this belief incisively and vividly.
After all, to Kieran, the only property that belonged to him was his life.
He was now fighting with his life!
And Kieran's desperation made the crocodile feel that its dignity was being challenged.
In the face of such a small creature, the crocodile used all its skills.
Its tail swept, its limbs clawed, and its mouth bit.
Every attack shook the earth and mountains.
However, every time, it was to no avail. Kieran was like the most agile cat, jumping back and forth around the crocodile, and the gemstones were also put into Kieran's pocket.
Roar!
The giant crocodile, which had repeatedly failed to attack, became more and more violent.
Its scarlet eyes lit up like two 100-watt light bulbs at this moment.
A roar that was far louder than any previous roar came from its mouth.
Then, a great suction force came from that huge mouth.
The gold coins, gold bricks, gemstones, and even Kieran within 30 meters of the mouth of the giant crocodile were involuntarily pulled towards that huge mouth.
It was extremely fast!
