episode_0125

The five senses that had been blocked for a moment return one after another.

As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was countless skeletons waiting to get out and take a number.

The surrounding scenery slowly comes into view through the empty ribs.

The dark ground and the dark night sky were filled with cross-shaped tombstones made of rotten tree branches.

The message window that appeared before my eyes helped me clearly understand where this was.

[You have entered the resting place of the dead.]

The resting place of the dead.

It’s a nice name, but in the end.

“… “It’s a cemetery.”

The moment I recognize the situation, the rotten self that was hovering at the tip of my nose begins to vibrate.

“Ugh.”

A poorly trained body screams.

I don’t know how long it’s been.

To have such an extreme reaction after smelling the smell of a rotting corpse.

“Ugh… , I feel sick.”

I aimed my sword at the skeletons who were closing the distance while trying to soothe my refluxing stomach.

“… “Isn’t there a place to relieve stress right here?”

The skeleton I encountered in a very angry state, irritated in many ways, was nothing more or less than a toy to relieve stress.

It twists its body wildly, like a wolf burrowing into a flock of gentle sheep.

He cut off the head of the skeleton that was attacking from the left, and punched the skull of the skeleton that was swinging his sword from the right, shattering it into pieces.

He completely ignores the magic he has honed so far and uses only his body.

The magic is all good, but it’s a shame that the taste is a bit lacking.

“Whoa… .”

Now that I’ve broken a lot of bones, I’m finally feeling less angry.

Oh, that doesn’t mean everything has been solved.

Even now, in my head, I’m thinking about how I can make him fuck me.

There is no clear answer.

There is nothing we can do about it because it is not at that stage in the first place.

Knowing your enemy and yourself can give you an answer to anything, but since you know nothing about your opponent, it has to be that way.

“for now… .”

Let’s deal with the task at hand first.

The most urgent thing is to quickly conquer the dungeon and then return to Yujeong, who will be waiting outside.

As for revenge, the only thing I can do for now is pledge.

Basically, a plan can only be developed if you know something about the enemy.

So for now, let’s just hold out and let go.

When I find out what he wants to achieve through me, the time for revenge and bloodshed will naturally come.

“Okay, I’m done thinking.”

After putting my organized thoughts in neatly, I moved forward, stomping on the rotten, smelly ground.

A dark purple magic power is wrapped around the cross tombstone made of rotten tree branches.

just as expected.

Patter!

As you pass nearby, a hand with rotten flesh stuck to it rises out of the dirt as if waiting for you.

Coming up from the ground are zombies, the main characters of apocalyptic movies.

The number of zombies that came out after breaking the tombstone was approximately fifty.

“Wow, that’s strange.”

Something is strange.

Apparently, when I counted the number of tombstones, there were no more than fifty.

“Did we even share a coffin? ?”

surprising.

“It’s not a share house, it’s a share grave… .”

It is clear that these zombies were ahead of their time.

Gwaaaah… !

Crumble!

The zombie neighbors downstairs, whose sleep has been disturbed, rush in as if to protest.

There is no such thing as an apology.

Because I was also a victim who was forcibly brought here in the first place.

It is very simple to neutralize a moving zombie that is already dead.

Either cut off all of its limbs and make it unable to do anything, or cut off its head cleanly.

Cut the skin, which is tougher than expected, and separate the head and body.

Suddenly!

A body that has lost its head flounders around uncontrollably and falls to the ground.

He constantly swung his sword at the zombies flocking in all directions.

Using the principle of Suryu Sword, which Seo-yeon has been following at will recently, he naturally decapitates the head with a fluid movement and decapitates another zombie.

Sigh!

Finally, the last zombie’s head was cut cleanly.

It took approximately 10 minutes to separate the heads and bodies of nearly 50 zombies.

Around the time when the movement of the body that had fallen to the floor and was struggling with its limbs subsided.

A rusty iron door opens to a large stone chamber at the end of the cemetery.

Mei profit-

The sound made by rusty metal feels like the sharp screams of the dead.

That must be the boss room of this dungeon.

I went inside, wiping away the foreign substances on my sword with water created using magical power.

A dark interior where it is difficult to see anything.

To observe the surroundings, create a light source and raise it to a high place.

「Light.」

A light source emitting pure white light finally began to illuminate the dark interior of the stone chamber.

A sarcophagus carved out of stone is placed inside a stone chamber made of randomly stacked rough and rough stones.

And not just one, but twenty.

The magical energy that was wildly bouncing around inside the stone chamber seeps into the sarcophagus.

At the same time, the tightly closed lid of the sarcophagus falls to the floor with a loud noise.

Coo! thud!

The monster finally revealed is a skeleton.

However, it is quite different from the things that were cut down like rice straw just a moment ago.

The level of a skeleton can be determined by the weapons and bones in its hands.

Thick and hard bones without a trace of incontinence, sharp weapons without rust that sparkle in the light source.

The good news is that the bones are not pure white.

Considering these points, the estimated grade of the skeleton is at least C+ to B-.

Skeletons clattering to their feet surround the sarcophagus in the center.

The boss of this dungeon wakes up among his subordinates.

The ‘Headless Horseman’ who holds his head in his hands rather than on his neck.

“… “Durahan.”

A figure well over 2 meters tall rises from the sarcophagus.

As the red eye light exploded, the surrounding skeletons began to march towards this direction as if they had been waiting.

“Hmm.”

Think of an optimal way to deal with them.

It is impossible to decapitate them one by one like before.

This body is still not enough to withstand the attacks of the Dullahan and nineteen B-class skeletons.

The moment you are surrounded, your chances of winning can be seen to drop by half, or even less.

In that case, the only thing left to do is to run away with a big movement so as not to be surrounded and kill them all.

Click, click, click

I started playing tag with the skeletons that were running towards me while making a cheerful sound of bones.

He moves his body along the wall of the stone chamber, narrowly avoiding the powerfully thrusting spear and sword tips.

Rather than dodging the most threatening Dullahan attack, he stopped for a moment and defended himself.

Kwaang-!

“Sigh… !”

Every muscle in my body screams as I try to block an attack from a large figure over 2 meters tall.

In fact, the reason it can end this way is because the muscles of this body have incredible elasticity that others can’t even dream of.

After eliminating the variables that could be the worst for me, I immediately start moving my body again.

It’s not just about running away.

On the one hand, they are busy trying to avoid being surrounded, while on the other hand, they are preparing a secret move to finish them off at once.

as soon as… , through magical power.

I go back and forth between the cracks of skeletons tightening in all directions, binding my magic.

Thinly pulled threads of magic tangle around their hard bones.

Since it is a magic thread that only I can see, it has no binding force, but that is not its purpose in the first place.

This is just a fuse.

To transfer the flame that will continue to burn until the person trapped turns to ashes.

It’s been 20 minutes since I ran away from them.

“Whoop, whoop…” !”

Unlike me, who was drenched in sweat like a drowned mouse due to tension and large movements, they didn’t seem to have changed at all.

But that’s only when seen with ordinary eyes.

All of the guys I see have thin threads of magic tied all over their bodies.

If it were a hunter or a higher-ranking monster who could feel magic, they would have felt it right away, but unfortunately, they have no means of feeling magic.

“Phew.”

I stop in my seat and catch my breath.

Preparation is over.

Now all that’s left is to light the prepared fuse.

Only a handful of magic power is left to prevent magic exhaustion, and all remaining magic power is collected to create a small burning lump of flame.

A flame of high thermal power created by compressing and compressing a large burning flame.

It was divided into several branches and sent on a thread of magical power.

「Endless Flame.」

A flame runs through a fuse that only my eyes can see.

Eventually, the flames that enveloped the skeleton’s entire body burned quietly without making any sound.

All that can be heard is the angry cries of the Dullahan, the only remaining vocal organ.

Gwaaa-!

I fight against the charging Dullahan while trying my best to prevent my body from being burned with magical power.

Quang!

As I blocked my sword, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

This sword… , Yujeong bought it as a gift.

“… “I guess your teeth haven’t already come out, right?”

I hurriedly checked my sword and found that fortunately the tooth had not fallen out.

“Whew!”

As expected, the weapons he made are the best in terms of durability, if nothing else.

“But just in case… .”

To avoid damaging the sword, let’s release as much of its power as possible to the surrounding area and take the sword safely.

In his anger, he even forgot the sword skills he had honed in his life and while dealing with the charging Dullahan, all the skeletons that were burning in place disappeared.

All that remains where they were was a handful of ashes.

At the same time, the Dullahan also reached its limits.

Grrrr… !

The flames gradually penetrate into the body of the guy who is letting out overwhelming emotions.

One knee kneels, one hand burns to black ash and scatters.

The large sword held in a thick hand falls to the floor with a loud sound.

When the flames finally engulfed my head, which I had been trying hard not to touch.

He laid his huge body on the floor with arsenic.

dump!

After confirming that the black magic power signifying the death of a living being was flying around, I could not hold on any longer and sat down on the spot, gasping for breath.

“Whoa… !”

If he had held on just a little longer, I might have lost the head on my neck like he did.

It was that breathtaking.

I only have a handful of magic power, and my stamina has long been depleted.

It feels like I survived with sharply sharpened mental strength.

“Okay… .”

After recovering my stamina just enough to be able to move, I immediately stood up.

Now is not the time for me to be like this.

The great sword lying next to the ashes was also taken as a trophy.

Even if I can’t do this much, I think I can save a few hundred.

Dragging the great sword across the floor, he lightly opens the tightly locked door on the other side of the entrance to the stone chamber.

A safety room that announces the completion of the dungeon.

However, there is one thing that is different from usual.

The shape of the statue opposite is very different from the usual one.

If the original statue gave the impression of a benevolent goddess bestowing grace, the statue erected in front of you has the shape of a grim reaper holding a sharp scythe in its hand that looks as if it will take the lives of those who kneel.

“Only one statue has changed, but there’s something eerie… .”

I shivered from the cold feeling and approached the statue.

While I was continuing to imagine uneasily that the statue’s scythe wouldn’t suddenly hit my neck.

A dark red light, quite different from usual, embraces the body.

[You have successfully conquered the dungeon.]

[Ability level rewards are given based on user actions.]

[Magic power increases by 4.]

[Health level increases by 3.]

[Strength level increases by 3.]

[Agility value increases by 3.]

“… … ?”

I think I ran into a bug.

Normally, when you conquer a C-class dungeon, even if your ability score increases by 1 to 20,000, it is quite a blessing, but now I have downloaded as much as 13 ability points at once as a reward.

“Does this make sense…? ?”

I tried to understand it based on common sense, but soon gave up.

“Let’s see if it works here.”

Was there anything that happened to me today that could be understood through common sense?

When I thought about it that way, this kind of compensation seemed insignificant.

“Now, for the last time… .”

It’s time to get the message that’s the key from that guy who’s been talking about it for so long.

I opened the lid of the box sitting on one side.

What is contained in the large box is an old key and… .

“Slime… ?”

On the other side of the key, a black slime the size of your palm is wiggling around.

I saw it for the first time.

The slime that came out of the treasure chest, its size, and even its color.

“Hehe, really.”

Now I’m laughing because it’s ridiculous.

Yellow eyes, circled on black paper, are staring intently in this direction.

I stretched out my fingers and lightly touched his body.

“Oh oh… .”

It feels bouncy, like touching the surface of pudding.

At the same time, the guy changes his eyes into >< shapes and lets out a sigh.

You seem to be in a good mood.

“Hmm.”

One worry weighs on my mind.

Should I save that guy or kill him?

It bothers me that it is in the shape of a monster, and it bothers me that it came from a treasure chest when I killed it.

“But it came from a treasure chest…” .”

In the past, I would have thought that if it was in the form of a monster, it had to be killed at all costs, but since I've experienced so many abnormal things these days, I think this could really be my reward.

“Okay, how could I be here if it weren’t for compensation?”

It was around the time when we started to figure out how to save them alive and take them out.

The guy who was happily shaking his body suddenly starts crawling around inside the box.

While I was staring at the cute sight of him struggling every time he pushed his body away, he reached in front of the old key that was also in the box.

Belatedly, I remembered that I was running out of time and was about to leave with the slime and the key in my hands at the same time, but a strange thing happened.

The slime guy who was lingering while giving a pleasant feeling to the palm of his hand suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the key in one mouthful.

“?”

… If this happens, I'm completely out.
