Dungeon Hunter Chapter 112:
Chapter 112: Infinity Armour (1)
“What is this?”
The light immediately disappeared .
Yihi was scared but hurriedly regained her stability .
She grumpily kicked the nasty flesh, only to hurt her toes . She frowned as she rolled and examined the flesh from every direction…it only took a little bit to realize that his form had changed .
“Uhh, he absorbed the root . ”
The sharp and solid root . The light was from the flesh absorbing it and now the changes were obvious . The flesh had used it as a source of magic power .
“Flesh . Are you angry with Yihi?”
Yihi’s conscience was pricked and she released the flesh . Before there was wonderful elasticity as she poked it, but now it was extremely hard . The rigid body was like he was angry .
“It didn’t work . This ~ it isn’t fun . ”
Duk!
Yihi kicked the rigid flesh .
“Ya!”
Obviously she got a sore foot .
Yihi rolled around on the ground . Despite doing the same thing just seconds before, Yihi hadn’t learned .
“Hiing, I’m not playing with you!”
Yihi cried out and flew off to harass the bees .

Stein .
The elder of the dwarves assigned to the 7th floor of the dungeon . He was now heading towards the 15th floor with some sturdy dwarves .
“Elder Stein-nim . Will we get some good roots this time?”
“Get rid of the anxiety in your voice . We aren’t going to beg . ”
“But…we aren’t dark elves . Frankly, I feel a little uncomfortable facing them . ”
“Bah, we just have to ignore them since Dungeon Master commanded us to get the roots . And the Tree of Origin didn’t grow here due to chance . It is all thanks to the greatness of Dungeon Master!”
Stein had an upright character .
The dwarves and elves were enemies . Their mood darkened every time they met .
However, the roots from the Tree of Origin were a very good material . The dwarves could quickly improve their skills making decent armour and they could boost their reliability with the Dungeon Master . It was important to obtain the Roots of Origin .
But they always needed to negotiate with the dark elves for the roots . It was ludicrous and absurd . They wouldn’t even be able to see them if it wasn’t for Dungeon Master .
Stein laughed and then snorted .
“We are productive dwarves . On the other hand, they just grow a few plants . We can do at least that much . ”
“In many ways, we can be considered proxies of the Dungeon Master . ”
“They’ll see soon . Right now the woman called Chrisley is handling the roots, but that will soon change . Once the ‘dwarf king’ is born, we will be in the top position in the dungeon . ”
“That’s right . I will be waiting eagerly for that day . ”
A sturdy young dwarf replied . The thought of having the authority of a Dungeon Master caused them to be thrilled .
After walking through the forest for a while, Stein frowned .
“By the way, no one came to greet us…ey, such lazy **** . ”
“Isn’t that their original nature?”
“Tsk tsk . This is why the dark elves…eh?”
Stein was spitting when he suddenly cocked his head .
There was something sparking in the bushes . The dwarf poked it with a foot and revealed what it was .
“This…”
A metal sheet .
Stein touched it, patted it, brought the metal plate to his ear and other actions .
“Elder-nim . What is it?”
“A material I’ve never seen before . I can’t feel any magic power from it . I’ll have to hammer at it . ”
The eyes of the young dwarf shone .
“Will Elder-nim work on the metal?”
“Of course . Rather, there is a lot I don’t know about it . ”
Stein didn’t have the inherent knowledge of all metals that the ‘dwarf king’ was born with .
He had no choice but to study . But it was so interesting .
‘It is unusual . Like something that has just been born into this world . ’
In his hand was the newly born, unidentified metal .
Just imaging the results caused his heart to be excited .
* * *
Kaaang! Kaaang!
Stein sat in front of a hearth and hammered it .
It had already been 40 hours, during which he repeated the same action without any food or drinks .
‘A great metal . I never thought there would be a metal like this in the world!’
Stein had accidentally picked up a metal he had never seen before . An unexplained metal that seemed to come from myth or legends .
‘Every time it is broken, it just returns to its original position . Its ability to maintain its original properties is very strong . ’
The second thing was its solid nature . So changing the form itself was very difficult .
‘I will make an armour . An armour that the world has never seen . ’
He didn’t know why he wanted to make armour . It just seemed like he had to make armour . He felt like that .
Kaaang!
Stein poured all his skills into it .
He never looked away and spend dozens of hours without sleep . A hammer was constantly beating down on an anvil in the hottest world .
He did not stop . His muscular body slowly shrank . It was like his life was literally being carved away .
A superhuman mentality and obsession . But little by little, the metal was being shaped . He eyes were kept open by excitement .
Three days, four days…a week .
The dwarves were worried, but Stein banned them from entering his workshop .
Once this was completed, it would be his masterpiece . He didn’t want to be disturbed .
After approximately 10 days, the form of the armour started to gradually take shape . Stein’s body and spirit gradually eroded as the work progressed .
Saliva dripped . His eyes were full of blood . His white hair and beard were growing . His hands didn’t stop moving .
Stein willingly became a slave to the metal . He kept working the metal .
The long march finally ended after a month .
‘This thing…is mine . It can’t be given to anyone else . ’
Greed filled his eyes as he grabbed the armour .
* * *
The party ended due to the storm I caused .
Kim Yong-woo’s hands and mouth were always busy moving .
Time passed quickly and my daily business didn’t change much . Of course, there wasn’t anything specific . I primarily trained Yoo Eun-hye and Edward . Krasla mainly trained Edward, while I made sure Yoo Eun-hye could handle the property of lightning .
“The way you use it with the sword is still a little stiff . ”
“Right? I’m not used to it even when I repeat the movements over and over . ”
“I’ll teach you a way . ”
“Do I need to take off my clothes?”
“There is no need . ”
“Really?”
“……”
Yoo Eun-hye smiled like a cat .
Unlike in the past, there was no need for direct skin contact to induce growth . I placed my hand on Yoo Eun-hye’s abdomen and sent a strong electric current .
“Uhh…”
Yoo Eun-hye’s body twisted but she endured it .
The current flowing was strongly stimulating her erogenous zones . Other people would be turned inside out, but Yoo Eun-hye had received the blessing of the lightning spirit .
The electric current naturally moved inside Yoo Eun-hye . I then slowly moved her hand holding the sword . Moving the energy of others was very delicate work . Intense concentration was needed .
-Master! Something big has happened . A dwarf has gone crazy!
“Ack!”
My concentration broke . The wild current made Yoo Eun-hye leap . Fortunately, nothing dangerous happened .
“W-why did you do that?”
“Wait a minute . ”
I stood up .
At the same time, I contacted Yihi .
‘Yihi . What is going on?’
-Yihi isn’t sure . The dwarf elder is wearing Flesh . He isn’t listening to Yihi, he is just trying to absorb the Tree of Origin . The griffin collapsed and Gigantes is blocking him, but he can’t hold out forever…
‘Stein . Wearing Flesh?’
-He turned Flesh into an armour . What should I do? Yihi is afraid, Master .
Flesh could only refer to Infinite Flesh . But didn’t Infinite Flesh die at Pakan Griolli’s dungeon? He had somehow returned alive and was now disguised as armour .
Yihi’s voice was extremely pitiful . It was to the extent that I could almost see Yihi trembling .
‘The griffin collapsed…’
I pressed a hand against my forehead . The griffin was a high class creature . Despite it being in the lowest tier, it still took a lot for it to collapse . In addition, even Gigantes was struggling . The griffin and Gigantes were the strongest creatures I had . Krasla, Chrisley and White were strong, but they couldn’t compare .
‘Hold on . I am coming now . ’
I realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately moved .
