As the heavy doors of the gateway opened, a completely different world unfolded before Ömer Jin-Hoo. The dungeon, far from the silence and mist outside, was like an endless battlefield. Everywhere was strewn with rubble, broken weapons, and the remains of unknown creatures lying on the ground. The air was heavy and oppressive, as if this place had been the site of a bloody struggle for centuries.Ömer scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes. This dungeon was a place to be conquered not just by strength, but by strategy and courage as well. The army advanced silently and cautiously; every step was taken with vigilance.After covering a short distance, a massive army appeared before Ömer. Countless warriors werewolves, savage orcs, cunning goblins, mysterious elves, and terrifying giants all gathered together and viewed him as their enemy.At the very center of the army stood a colossal giant over 50 meters tall: Horus. His very name and appearance radiated power. The giant gripped his enormous sword and stared challengingly at Ömer. The earth trembled at that moment — a clash between two great forces was about to begin.
A system alert echoed in Ömer's mind:
"Mission: Clear the Aldwulf Dungeon."
"Enemy: Giant Leader Horus."
A slight smile appeared on Ömer's face. This was the kind of challenge he had been waiting for.Suddenly, he opened a dimensional rift with his hand and shouted: "Varta!"
From the sky descended a massive army of 2,000 dragons and their commander Antaios. Their wings tore through the wind as the dragons let out war cries that struck fear into their foes.Ömer's army took battle formation under his command. The battlefield instantly erupted into chaos. Swords clashed, spells exploded, and dragons breathed fire. Ömer moved swiftly and effectively, clearing the front lines as he advanced.The confrontation between Antaios and Horus was the turning point of the battle. Horus managed to throw Antaios with a single blow and began to annihilate the remaining dragon army alone. However, the dragons drew power from Ömer's mana through their bonded souls, and each time one died, it was reborn, refusing to leave the fight.Antaios gathered his strength and unleashed an attack called "Dragon's Judgment." The exploding energy shattered the area, wiping out all enemies except Horus.Horus grabbed his massive sword and returned to the battlefield. Every attack was devastating. Ömer's mana rapidly decreased; system warnings flashed:
Mana below 40%
Mana below 20%
If mana runs out, your soul will be destroyed
Ömer gripped his two daggers tightly. Antaios summoned the remaining forces through the dimensional rift. Now, it was a one-on-one battle between Ömer and Horus.As their sword strikes shattered the surroundings, Horus's massive size belied his surprising speed. When Horus caught and threw Ömer, his right arm was severed and soaked in blood.At that moment, Ömer felt a cold breath of death behind him. Antaios had unleashed the "Dragon's Flame" attack, dealing heavy damage to Horus.Ömer quickly used healing spells to restore his arm and attacked Horus with all his might. The giant leader was cleaved in two.
The system announced the mission completion:
"Mission Complete: You have defeated the Giant King Horus."
"Clear Aldwulf Dungeon 1/500."
"Do you want to claim your rewards? Yes / No"
Ömer obtained a new dagger, "Claw of Shadow" (S-rank). But the battle was far from over. Ömer shouted "Varta!" and the souls of the fallen 10,000 soldiers and Horus's spirit were resurrected. Ahead lay revived spirits and even greater challenges. "Varta!"
With the power of the word, a dark and crackling energy rose from the dungeon walls. The spirits responding to Ömer's call began to awaken from the shadows and the remnants of fallen armies.Tens of thousands of warrior souls gathered around Ömer, manifesting in a new form: Shadow Forms. These dark and imposing silhouettes slowly grew stronger and joined Ömer's army.
However, not all spirits obeyed. The spirit of Horus had risen dark and proud, challenging Ömer with furious eyes. Between the two beings, a breathtaking aura battle erupted; the entire area around them seemed to be crumbling.Ömer grasped his new dagger, the "Claw of Shadow." The weapon absorbed the energy of the spirits and granted him unique powers. At that moment, a colossal struggle unfolded in the dungeon's darkness; this was not just a battle of strength, but a war of wills.
While Horus's spirit continued to resist, the other spirits yielded to Ömer's will. Those who obeyed were sealed and fully joined Ömer's army. Thus, the army's power multiplied exponentially.In the end, only Horus's spirit remained, but he was no longer alone. Ömer gave him a name:
"Sigrun."
And Sigrun joined Ömer's army.
With the joy of victory, Ömer opened a dimensional rift with his hand and summoned his forces:A massive army of 10,000 warriors
2,000 powerful dragons
Antaios
Sigrun
With all this power, they set forth to clear the remaining 499 floors of the Aldwulf Dungeon. Ömer knew this victory was only the beginning and sensed that even greater battles awaited ahead.
