YM778.TV Chapter 308
Chapter 308
A message popped up in front of the eyes of every Adventurer within a five-kilometer radius of the Great Rift.
“Ah! It’s raiding time!”
“The Raid Dungeon is open!”
“Yes! It finally opened! I’ve been here for four weeks now!”
The high-level Adventurers loitering around the Great Rift stood up and cheered as soon as they read the message.
“YESSS!” Chae Hyung-Seok screamed louder than anyone else.
“Fuck yeah! Come after me all you want! Let’s see if you can enter before I get the hell out of here! Kekekeke!”
He was confident that there was no way Siegfried could catch up to him now, and this confidence was definitely not baseless. Siegfried needed 150 more Dimensional Resistance points to enter the Raid Dungeon, and Siegfried definitely needed more than a week to accumulate that many Dimensional Resistance.
Unfortunately, Chae Hyung-Seok couldn’t enter the Raid Dungeon right away.
[Alert: The waiting time to enter the Great Rift: Raid Dungeon has started!]
[Alert: Waiting time has been set to 24 hours!]
[Alert: Form your raid parties and challenge the Raid Dungeon!]
The vortex that emerged was the signal that the Raid Dungeon was opening, but the entrance was only going to actually open after twenty-four hours.
Chae Hyung-Seok knew that, so he didn’t drop his guard.
“Adventurers!” The NPC in charge of the Great Rift appeared after the Raid Dungeon opened, and the NPC announced. “We will start recruiting raid parties to challenge the Raid Dungeon! Please form your raid parties if your Dimensional Resistance is high enough!”
The Adventurers loitering around the Great Rift headed toward the NPC.

Meanwhile, Siegfried was taken aback after reading the Raid Dungeon opening message after he finished clearing his dungeon.
“Huh? Already? But I still need a lot of Dimensional Resistance…” he muttered before his eyes darted toward the Adventurers surrounding the NPC.
To be precise, he was looking at Chae Hyung-Seok, who was lining up with the other Adventurers.
“I will be the Buffer for the first raid party! Leave it to me! Hahaha!” Chae Hyung-Seok shouted in the midst of the high-level Adventurers.
Unfortunately for Siegfried, the high-level Adventurers seemed to be very receptive and welcoming of Chae Hyung-Seok. After all, there was no way they would refuse the Buffer of All Buffers, who was like a noble among high-level users.
“Oh!”
“I’ll be honored to raid with Hyung-Seok hyung-nim!”
“We will be in your care!”
The high-level Adventurers had no qualms about Chae Hyung-Seok’s bad reputation as a piece of trash.
‘So what if he’s a piece of trash? I don’t mind as long as his buffs are quality.’
‘I’m fine as long as he doesn’t try to pull any stunt on me.’
The high-level Adventurers were looking for a Buffer, not someone with a good personality.
Kwachik!
A cross-shaped bulge protruded on Siegfried’s forehead.
‘So they don’t care as long as he has a good class?’ he grumbled.
The high-level Adventurers treated Chae Hyung-Seok as if he were a noble, and it was because all of them wanted him in their party.
The sight pissed Siegfried off. However, the main problem here was Siegfried’s current situation.
‘Ah… I still have a long way to go until I reach 350 Dimensional Resistance points…’
Siegfried did not have enough Dimensional Resistance to enter the Raid Dungeon, making it impossible for him to put his plan Bother Chae Hyung-Seok into action.
‘I don’t have time.’
There were only twenty-four hours remaining until the Raid Dungeon opened, and it was going to be impossible for him to disturb Chae Hyung-Seok’s raid. On top of that, the dungeon difficulty exponentially increased as Siegfried went up from C Rank dungeon to B-rank, then B-rank dungeon to A-rank.
Siegfried felt like he was about to explode out of frustration.
‘I can’t just sit around and do nothing when that guy’s about to recover right in front of my eyes!’
To add insult to injury, Chae Hyung-Seok raised his voice, and it seemed that he was doing it on purpose for Siegfried to hear it.
“Don’t accept anyone with less than 400 Dimensional Resistance points, okay? We’re going on a raid and not some picnic! Will those pieces of trash even be useful to us? They will just get in our way!”
He obviously raised his voice to make sure that Siegfried would hear him.
‘Pfft! You can’t enter this Raid Dungeon no matter how hard you try!’ Chae Hyung-Seok rejoiced while enjoying the look on Siegfried’s face.
‘What should I do? How can I raise my resistance in time to enter the Raid Dungeon and teach that bastard a lesson? I have to come up with a solution… a solution…’ Siegfried racked his brain to come up with a solution to put his Bother Chae Hyung-Seok plan into motion, but he failed to come up with a solution.
‘Dimensional Resistance… I need to increase it to 350 in twenty-four hours, but… How? How can I obtain that many resistance points in the next twenty-four hours…’
However, the perfect solution appeared before his eyes.
“Wow… I almost died this time…”
Taycan came out from the dungeon just in time, looking quite disheveled.
‘It’s a good idea, but…’ Siegfried considered partying with Taycan.
The only way he could increase his resistance in such a short period of time was to hunt together with Taycan, who was capable of hunting at absurd speeds.
However, he was reluctant to get into a party with Taycan. Taycan was the descendant of Thunder God Vajra, and partying with an enemy he was bound to face later on was not something he wanted to do.
‘What should I do? Should I just party with him, or do I let Chae Hyung-Seok…’ Siegfried was conflicted.
Should he cooperate with the descendant of Thunder God Vajra and make sure that Chae Hyung-Seok would never recover, or should he just watch Chae Hyung-Seok complete the raid simply because he was reluctant to cooperate with Taycan?
It was a huge clash between his pride and reality.
Fortunately, it didn’t take Siegfried that long to make up his mind.
He approached Taycan and said, “Hey.”
“Hmm?”
“You said you wanted to party with me and clear dungeons together, right?”
“I did?”
“Alright, let’s clear dungeons together.”
“R-Really?!”
“Yeah.”
Siegfried chose to team up with the descendant of Thunder God Vajra.
‘Ugh…! As much as I hate the idea of working with this bastard… Seeing that bastard recover is a thousand times worse!’
The decision was a no-brainer. He had to completely ruin Chae Hyung-Seok at all costs.
“But I have a condition…”
“What is it? Tell me!”
Taycan’s eyes were sparkling as he really wanted to get along with Siegfried.
“We’re going to clear the dungeons from now on, but we will be going at it for twenty-four hours with only an hour or two of rest in between. Can you do that?”
“T-Twenty-four hours?!”
“Forget about it.”
“No! I’ll do it! Let’s go! Together, onward!”
And that was how Siegfried got into a party with the descendant of Thunder God Vajra, Taycan…
It was all for the sake of screwing Chae Hyung-Seok over.
“Good, wait for me here.”
“Huh? Where are you going? I thought you wanted to clear the dungeons?”
“I’ll just go say hi to an old friend,” Siegfried said before he went straight to Chae Hyung-Seok.
“Hey, Chae Hyung-Seok.”
“What?”
“I never imagined a day like this was going to come.”
“Ha? What day?”
“A day that we will be hunting together.”
“Hunting together? Who? You and me?” Chae Hyung-Seok asked in disbelief before he exclaimed, “Are you stupid? A noob like you with less than 350 resistance points will what? Pfft! Hahaha!”
“We will see about that,” Siegfried said before he flashed a chilling smile and added, “See you in twenty-four hours, buddy.”
“B-Buddy?!”
“Alright, I’ll see you later,” Siegfried said as he waved goodbye and went over to Taycan.
“What a bucket of horseshit…” Chae Hyung-Seok grumbled.
Of course, Chae Hyung-Seok was confident there was no way Siegfried could increase his Dimensional Resistance to 350 points in just twenty-four hours… even in his wildest dreams…

“Are we going now?” Taycan asked.
Siegfried shook his head and replied, “No, it’s not enough with just you and me.”
“Hmm?”
“We will recruit a few more people, so just wait a bit.”
“Sure.”
Siegfried was planning to party up with other Adventurers as well.
“Anyone wants to increase their Dimensional Resistance as soon as possible?! Three hundred! Three hundred in twenty-four hours! Buffers and Healers are welcome, but make sure you’re willing to hunt the whole day and night! I will let you enter the Raid Dungeon in just a day!” Siegfried shouted at the top of his lungs at the Adventurers.
“Me!”
“Are you still recruiting?”
“Please take me with you!”
A massive group of Adventurers gathered around him. None of the Adventurers were skeptical of his promises, as both Siegfried and Taycan were quite the celebrities in the Southern Great Rift by now.
After all, both of them were famous—no, infamous for racing against each other and clearing dungeons in record time.
What if these two monsters partied together?
It was an offer that the Adventurers could not resist.
Siegfried had also become a celebrity among the Adventures thanks to the Constantine Civil War, so it was not that difficult for him to find people willing to join his party.
“We will clear a dungeon in ten minutes! You don’t have to think about anything else other than killing monsters and clearing the dungeon. My pet will pick up all the fragments dropped and distribute them equally!”
“Is that possible? I thought the fragments were highly volatile, so they can’t be traded?”
“This guy can do it,” Siegfried said as he pointed at Hamchi.
“Oh!”
“As expected, your pet is quite unique too.”
“That hamster is so cute, but it seems he’s more than a cutie!”
The Adventurers were even more delighted at Siegfried’s offer.
“K-Kyu?! Owner punk! Are you trying to kill Hamchi?!” Hamchi cried out.
“Hey, just do it for me this once, okay? I’ll give you a hundred packs of nuts after.”
“K… Kyu? A-Alright… Leave it to Hamchi! Kyu!”
Siegfried struck a deal with Hamchi with a hundred packets of nuts.
‘Just you wait, Chae Hyung-Seok…!’
The hunt was on.

Meanwhile, a group of NPCs known as the Rift Investigators returned after finishing their assessment of the Raid Dungeon while Siegfried was busy increasing his resistance.
“We have finished our investigations!”
The Rift Investigators were equipped with special artifacts that allowed them to enter a rift that hadn’t opened just yet, and their job was to provide the Adventurers with details of the dungeon that was soon going to open.
This information would allow the Adventurers to form the appropriate raid party based on the dungeon.
“The dungeon is a large-scale dungeon that is the size of a city. In lieu of that, we would advise the Adventurers to form a large-scale raid party before entering!”
A large-scale raid party was going to be composed of at least two hundred members or at least ten raid parties. It was possible to see just how big this Raid Dungeon was going to be judging from the size of the raid party.
‘Sounds good to me.’ Chae Hyung-Seok welcomed the report from the investigators.
His abilities became stronger the more allies he had on his side, and he was definitely going to be partied with the most elite Adventurers that specialized in hunting boss monsters.
“These are the details we have uncovered in our investigation!”
The captain of the investigators announced the results of their investigation.
“More than three hundred members are required for this raid based on our investigation. Three main parties will face the boss monster, while nine sub-parties will secure the perimeter. Please refer to the report for detailed information. Thank you.”
It went without saying that Chae Hyung-Seok didn’t even bother checking the report.
‘I’ll be in the main party anyway, so I’ll just log out for now and come back tomorrow.’
He was confident in his role, so he decided that it was better for him to log out and rest rather than waste his time going over the report.
Twenty-four hours later…
“Desire-nim! Please come to the main party!”
“Sure, I’m coming!” Chae Hyung-Seok leisurely replied as he went to the main or first party that was in charge of killing the boss monster.
Of course, he was the main Buffer in this raid.
‘Hoho! How long has it been since I—’
“Hey, Chae Hyung-Seok!”
A familiar voice assaulted his ears.
‘What the hell was that?’
Chae Hyung-Seok grimaced and turned around to find…
“Im-Impossibruuuuu!”
…himself screaming in despair.
[Siegfried van Proa]
[Level: 238]
[Dimensional Resistance: 407]
[Affiliation: 7th Party]
Siegfried earned three levels and two hundred points of Dimensional Resistance in less than twenty-four hours.
“Hey, buddy! Nice to see you again! Let’s work hard today! Fighting!” Siegfried greeted with a grin; his fist was clenched in a fighting! motion.[1]
“Who the fuck is your buddy, you fucking son of a bitch!”
Chae Hyung-Seok cursed out loud upon failing to keep his temper in check.
1. Fighting! Is a Korean term when cheering someone else. It’s sort of like ‘we can do this!’ kind of thing. And yes, we say it in English.
