Whoaaaaaa!! The villagers who were tied up were so excited that they ripped off all the ropes and burst onto the stage, surrounding Sylvia. Then, they shouted loud cheers. There were also foxes among them. A dungeon that became one through a dance match. Not even the 2002 World Cup was like this.
“Wow! F*ck! You ripped it!”
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When one of the young foxes shouted excitedly, the villagers lifted Sylvia and threw her in the air in a frenzy. Noel, Sevis, and Limbo also came up and followed Sylvia, who was handed over by the villagers, on a triumphant march around the square. The battle had already been decided. Who could defeat Sylvia, who rather than being a human, had become a spinning top itself?
Sylvia waved her hand shyly and acted humble. Of course, she was fully aware that she had won with overwhelming skill, but she was humble because of the humility unique to Koreans.
“Oh, it was nothing. I didn’t do anything.”
“Miss Sylvia! No, you were really cool!”
As Sylvia smiled in the air and acted polite, everyone around her, starting with Sevis, made some noise.
“I guess that human top’s name is Sylvia!”
“Sylvia, you were great!”
Sylvia! Sylvia!
The square was filled with the voices of people shouting Sylvia’s name, and the heat was not expected to cool until the group finished doing one turn around the square while lifting Sylvia.
After the heat of excitement, the foxes and the villagers gradually became conscious of each other. When the commotion calmed down, the foxes that had snapped out of it threatened the villagers.
“These guys… they released the ties!”
“You can tie them up.”
The villagers went down the stage again with awkward expressions and wrapped the ropes that had snapped around their bodies.
Sylvia stepped down from the group’s hands and went to the front of the stage. As she looked at the High Priest Fox, he raised his head. He stood up with a gloomy expression, knees trembling, and reached out his hand to Sylvia.
“Ugh… I don’t think I can beat you. I can’t believe there was someone among the humans who could dance like this. It felt like my slowed-down heart started beating strongly again.”
“Then, do you admit defeat?”
“Yes, after seeing your dancing skills, I think the slow hammering of yesterday must have been a cover. I don’t even have the confidence that I can win if we fight again… I’ll admit defeat. Let the villagers go and get purified as you wish? I’ll accept that too.”
“Alright.”
As Sylvia smiled as she held the High Priest Fox’s hand and shook it, the villagers repeated Sylvia’s name again with tears in their eyes.
“Sylvia, Sylvia!”
At the order of the High Priest Fox, the dispirited foxes released the ropes, and the villagers thanked Sylvia.
“Thank you, Sylvia.”
“We survived thanks to Sylvia.”
After bending their waists 90 degrees and thanking Sylvia for a moment, they waved their hands and rode off in the camels the foxes had given them, leaving the square. While Sylvia was smiling proudly, the High Priest Fox approached her and knelt down.
“It is now time to receive the purification.”
When he knelt down, the other foxes noticed and knelt down beside him. Not only the High Priest Fox, but all the other foxes were to be purified.
As if her crazy inhuman-like dancing skills weren’t enough, after seeing the 80 laps of headspin as the finishing move, they seemed to have lost their fighting spirit or their will to rebel. She was going to show them the taste of the boomerang hammer with heightened agility if they tried to fight in defiance of victory and defeat, but they were quick-witted as they were beasts.
‘They pulled their whiskers to try to make me disorientated, but since they’re coming out like this, there’s no need to be cruel.’
Sylvia nodded and then blew into the hammer and tried to use the purification skill, but the High Priest Fox raised her hand to stop her, seemingly in pain.
“Wait, can you please do it gently instead of striking hard?”
“I don’t want to.”
As she lifted the hammer high again, the High Priest Fox shouted hastily.
“I-If you promise, I’ll give you a scroll to open the Legendary Waterfalls!”
Give her what? She paused as she was trying to push the hammer as hard as she could. Then, she looked down at him as he sat on his knees.
“Legendary Waterfalls? What’s that?”
“If you train in the waterfalls there, you will have a body that can detoxify all the poisons in the world.”
“!!”
It was a great waterfall. If she trained in that waterfall, she would be able to target Luca.
‘Luca… Will I be able to do it now?’
She remembered Luca after a long time. His beautifully sparkling golden eyes, always moist red lips, a magnificent chest that could not be hidden above clothes and seemed like it was going to burst them, and the clearly defined muscles, like a washboard… Above all, his large and beautiful pillar, which killed her with a facial before she could even put it in her mouth.
‘Really… really? Can I f*ck him now?’
She only thought about it for a moment, but her mouth drooled. She was drooling so much it was going to overflow, so she quickly wiped her lips and made a calm face. Luca, a poisonous man whom she had only seen as a pie in the sky. She thought there had to be a way, but it was a system where a solution would come naturally if she raided a dungeon.
The High Priest Fox said he would give her a box with a scroll if she could purify him gently without being violent. He then added that if she went to the back of the forgotten temple after returning it to its original state, she would see a golden waterfall.
Sylvia smiled mercifully, laying the hammer on her shoulder.
“I see. Thank you for giving me something good when you are about to pass away.”
The High Priest Fox smiled vaguely as he looked in the distance. Sylvia carefully lifted the hammer as he wished and gently hit his head.
Tap. Tap, tap, tap.
A message appeared in front of her as she carefully tapped his head.
———————————————
[Purification skill is triggered.]
———————————————
Similarly, when she weakly tapped the heads of the surrounding foxes, their bodies began to glow. Then, the bodies of the foxes who had been struck by the hammer on their heads, including the High Priest Fox, began to fade in a cloud of shimmering dust.
“Did you say you were Sylvia? You may be able to save this world. However, if the news of this dungeon being raided reached that person, it would not be easy to raid dungeons in the future. We are monsters made of contaminated energy, so we will be extinguished when we receive purification… However, the high-level monsters in the other dungeons…”
“Huh? The other monsters what? And who is ‘that person’…”
Why was he saying something important when he was disappearing? The bodies of all the foxes, including the High Priest Fox, gradually became blurred and faded away, with gentle smiles. Sylvia hurriedly reached out to the fox’s body, but she could only touch the air.
Once they were completely gone, a message appeared.
———————————————
[The desert foxes threw off all the restraints and went back to nothing…]
———————————————
The messages did not end, and continued successively with the sound of fanfare.
———————————————
[You acquired a Box with a Scroll by completing the main quest.]
[Forgotten Shrine raid complete. Please check the updated target window.]
———————————————
In the spot where the High Priest Fox had been, a box was left. As Sylvia lifted the box and shook it, a rattling sound came from inside. Based on the message that popped up, it seemed like the reward was not given by the High Priest Fox, but was expected to be obtained after completing the quest anyway.
‘I think I would have gotten this box whether I hit the foxes’ heads hard or gently… Well, there’s no need to enjoy the suffering of others.’
Click.
As soon as she opened the box, a piece of paper came into her hand with a dazzling light.
———————————————
[Obtained the Open Waterfalls Scroll.]
———————————————
‘This must be the scroll that opens the Golden Waterfall.’
When she put the scroll in her pocket, she saw the word ‘NEW’ floating over the target window.
As she opened the system and checked it, she saw that Sylvia doing the 80 headspins, the people tossing Sylvia into the air, and the foxes waving and disappearing into the sky, had been added to the photo album. And in the last one, she saw Noel and Sylvia, having a secret time together in the oasis.
Looking at the last picture, Sylvia made a disgusted face.
‘It seems like the system is a bit perverse… I can’t believe it saved even this.’
Sylvia’s expression worsened as she scrolled upward with her fingers. Everything she did with Noel was recorded there. It was totally like a s*x diary.
‘Dear heavens… I’ll take a look at it again when I’m alone.’
Quickly closing the target window, Sylvia looked around. As the foxes disappeared, the landscapes around them gradually changed. After the sand and the oasis disappeared, an old temple that seemed to have been left unattended for a long time and an empty marble square filled with weeds appeared.
“After defeating the foxes, the temple regained its original appearance!”
The group rejoiced and opened the door to the old temple. Under Noel’s guidance, they rolled up their sleeves and cleaned up the temple and its surroundings. Thanks to the cleaning king Sevis, they were able to finish the cleaning quickly and easily. Sweeping and scrubbing diligently, the temple was quickly stripped of its old appearance and sparkled.
“The old temple looks like new.”
“I’m proud.”
The group wiped their sweat, smiled, and gathered their hands to pray in front of the temple’s prayer stand.
“Ah, I was going to ask the High Priest a bit more. It’s a shame. I wonder what the identity of ‘that person’ is.”
Sylvia sighed deeply. Sevis shrugged, then opened his mouth.
“We’ll find out about that later. How were you going to ask the foxes, when they were already disappearing? Hey, don’t worry! As long as I’m with Miss Sylvia, you’ll succeed in raiding dungeons.”
As soon as Sevis finished speaking, Noel came over and patted her.
“I will also be by Miss Sylvia’s side, always.”
Noticing, Limbo also made a noise.
“Neigh!”
“Alright, I’m getting some strength First, we need to go to the golden waterfall behind the temple and train, as the High Priest Fox said.”
Sylvia’s group headed to the rear of the ruined temple. As they walked a little along the trail, they saw water rushing through the cliffs.
Walking to where the water was flowing, she pulled out the scroll she had in her pocket and shouted inwardly, ‘Use.’ Then there was a rumbling sound, and a magnificent waterfall appeared in front of them, its unexpectedly golden water dripping refreshingly. As she looked at it curiously, a message appeared in front of her.
