episode_0111

Not all expeditions rely on a leader. However, a successful expedition always needs a leader.

In fact, Dyers was a veteran who took on the 13th floor and faced death several times. Although he pretended not to, his presence alone made the team feel great power.

There was no one who was not surprised by his divine skill’s proficiency level, which was close to the 13th floor. The renowned professors of Beatus, the instructors who were not far behind the imperial combat troops in terms of skill, and the children of noblemen from great families with bright futures praised his eccentricity.

[Honestly, Dyers is really crazy;; [It seems like a person who has really reached somewhere]

[admit. Isn’t this something that can really be broken?]

[I believe…]

If those watching felt the same way, how did the team members feel when they saw him?

“…Wow, everything really works as you say.”

“Hmm! I told you so! Senior Dyers knows everything?! As long as you have our senior, you will never die.”

Dyers’ performance made Jenna even more proud of herself. It’s as if people have recognized the value of their well-hidden favorite character. She raised her shoulders even stiffer.

The reason why her self-esteem rose so much was simple. To Jenna, Dyers was already like her left arm and right arm. If the right arm did well, wouldn’t the left arm also do well?

Yes. When Dyers is praised, she is praised.

“I heard that you tried a few more times. Honestly, I didn’t know you prepared so thoroughly. If, if anything, I succeed, it’s all thanks to you.”

The fastidious Kirshen praised Dyers. Even though I have tried it several times, I don’t know much about this dungeon.

“…You missed your sister too, right?”

Luna felt some kind of kinship while watching his activities. Longing has the power to destroy people, but it also has the power to move people.

If I missed my sister so much, I wonder if I could even memorize and draw the maze.

The fact that he did not even come to the funeral was gradually erased by his desperate appearance. Luna felt strong sympathy for his desperate challenge.

“Honestly, I didn’t know you knew this much.”

Even Latina, who had desperately opposed Dyers’ expedition, eventually acknowledged him.

“Prince Dyers!! You are truly a God-given man! This Laur family will support you forever!”

Even Count Laure was already sincerely rooting for the marshal who had expelled his son from school. No, it was no longer important whether he was my enemy or not.

“If you have come this far, please conquer it!!”

Everyone here was looking at Dyers Bay with different ideals and expectations.

I hope he can reach the end of this journey.

May he bring much wealth.

May he be praised more.

I hope he gets out safely without any serious injuries.

I hope he can save the people he wants to save.

Dyers was hit squarely by the troll’s fist.

He was pinned against the wall and lost consciousness.

Count Laure, who saw the scene in real time, stopped dancing. The professors and nobles were speechless for a moment.

I felt it instinctively.

This is a crisis.

No matter how much you build a castle on the sand, you cannot overcome the waves.

“I hate you humans.”

The sand castle built with Dyers’ knowledge collapsed in an instant due to overwhelming force.

Dyers wasn’t wrong. In fact, 4 out of 5 statues are alter egos, and it is true that they have weaker power than the main body.

However, the powers of the alter egos were abnormally buffed compared to the original. With this level of destructive power, it would have had almost half the power of the main body.

Ancient trolls cannot even pierce their skin with ordinary swords. Even his alter ego of such a monster became much stronger.

“I hate the people who trampled and violated our home.”

Literally, something crazy happened.

It is the first and greatest crisis in the expedition’s history.

When everyone was predicting Dyers’ failure, only one person did not give up hope.

“Still, he was a person I respected, but I would get angry if they treated me like that.”

“Humans are punished.”

“You big, ignorant monster.”

Latina pulled her bow while looking at Dyers, who had fainted.

.

The Latina thought about what she could do at this moment.

The giant trolls’ attack was fiercely aimed at her. She dodged with all her might.

Let’s think about what we can do.

Silly Latina. She was the highest ranking executive officer in charge of the vast student council.

Without force, he would never have been able to get to that position.

“…I hope you wake up quickly, but do you have the strength?”

We wait as long as possible until the man wakes up and joins us.

While dodging the troll’s fist again, he fires an arrow filled with mana.

“Keueook!”

“It’s incredibly hard.”

The troll met her attacks harshly and continued to move forward.

Quaaaang!

Once again, the huge fist hit the floor. Latina stepped on the troll’s shoulder and dodged it dangerously.

If you get hit even once, at least a few bones will be broken.

She pulled the bowstring toward the target again.

The Scilly family were traditionally the hunters of the empire. They are a tribe that enjoys hunting to the point of cruelty.

Latina hated people from that family, but she also overlooked that they were essentially of the same blood.

The reason she, a collateral relative, was able to become Dyers’ direct subordinate was not through personal connections.

This is because the archer Latina’s skills were outstanding.

The moment she picked up the bow, her eyes had already changed.

“You must not close the distance against the hunter.”

An arrow imbued with the element of fire hit the troll’s eye.

I learned it directly from Dyers.

Even if you train all other parts, you cannot train the eyes.

“Aaaah! Aaaaa!!”

The clones felt pain and swung their fists wildly. Latina continued to dangerously avoid attacks by taking advantage of her agile movements.

“Tsk, I passed by. This is why people shouldn’t just fiddle with documents.”

Blood burst from the Latina’s lip. She ignored it and looked at the biggest troll in the back.

‘I’ve been quiet since a while ago. Maybe that’s the real troll Dyers was talking about.’

While I was thinking, the trolls randomly threw stones at me.

The Latina felt the hairs on her entire body stand on end. It felt really dirty, like a hunter being hunted.

A stone that she couldn’t avoid flew towards her. She fired a huge arrow and shattered the rock.

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!

“Huuuu.. Huu.. Aren’t you guys even tired..?”

Pieces of stone fragments penetrated every nook and cranny of her body. She felt it instinctively.

I can’t last long. The limit is about 5 minutes at most. Moreover, even the main troll is slowly preparing to move.

The stalactites shake in the wake of the giant arrow. The Latina grinned.

The Silly family could not deny that hunter blood flowed in their veins.

“I tried to hold out safely if possible. I’m sorry.”

She leapt forward to use one last method. The angry clone trolls stretched out their arms here and there to catch Latina.

Latina fired huge arrows at the stalactites one after another.

Kugugoogung!

The shaking stalactites fell from the ceiling like a rain of arrows. Latina dodged the falling stalactites here and there and fired one final shot towards the main body.

The results of the hunt are out.

.

I had a dream where I fainted from the sudden blow.

[Hey, Dyers junior! If you sleep in a place like this, your mouth will turn!]

I slowly opened my eyes at the loud noise. This is warrior Aren.

“…Senior?”

The warrior Aren laughed heartily at my puzzled look.

[I don’t have time, so I’ll just say what I have to say and leave. Now that I think about it, there’s something I couldn’t tell you.]

Warrior Aren held out his sword to me.

It was an intangible sword with all his martial arts concentrated in one place.

“This is…”

[I will decline to say that I will not accept it.]

“But to save this sword, Shane…”

Seeing me expressing disapproval, Aren tapped my shoulder and said.

[I already saved Shane, Dyers junior.]

“……”

[You can now use this sword.]

“……”

[Write it for the people you want to save.]

Warrior Aren held out his sword to me.

[You came into this dungeon because you wanted to save me too, right?]

The sword still had letters written on it.

For Shane.

I was given a sword. Then the letters disappeared. Only the word ‘for’ remained.

for.

for.

Who was I going through all this trouble for?

“Senior. I…”

[It’s a promise between men. Just like I saved Shane, you too will save the person you want to save with this sword, understand?]

With those words, the soul of the warrior Aren disappeared.

I thought again as I watched his disappearing soul.

for.

For your sake…

Looking back, there was no reason for me to go through this trouble.

The terminal condition could be resolved with time, the person was dead anyway, and all he had to do was ignore Luna’s resentment and the world’s resentment and live leisurely.

Why did I go through all this trouble?

I looked again at the sword left by the warrior Aren.

I finally figured out why.

“This is why you need to hire good seniors.”

The name of the person I was trying to save was already written on the sword that Aren left behind.

For Vivian.

For her who saved me and chose death instead. To save her. I risked my life to enter this dangerous dungeon.

I engraved words on the margin of the sword.

Since it was an intangible sword, anything was possible just by thinking about it.

I want to save it.

When I’m terminally ill, other people might think I’m a loser, but what does it matter?

I want to save.

I want to save Chairman Vivian.

I accepted the sword and continued to fight with all my remaining tenacity.

I opened my eyes again.

.

“Cough..”

The dungeon became a mess in the aftermath of stalactites and arrows.

Latina defeated two clone trolls.

“Ugh.”

The remaining two trolls and the main troll could not be defeated.

A truly ancient troll grabbed her body and lifted it up. Latina spat out the blood she had collected at the troll.

“You are a strong human being. I salute you.”

“Thank you for that. If you’re going to show respect, can’t you spare him?”

“No. No matter how strong you are, you are still human. Must be punished.”

“Tsk.”

The ancient troll raised his fist. Latina felt death.

If possible, I wanted to save Dyers at least.

She closed her eyes tightly. Soon the fist would lead to her death.

“…?”

The fist that should have come didn’t come.

Just the sound of something falling and a huge scream vibrating in all directions.

The Latina opened her eyes again. I just looked at the man in front of me.

“Can I tell a lie?”

“Do whatever you want.”

“I believed it.”

The Latina grinned and continued speaking with blood dripping from her lips.

“If I hold on, you will do something.”

The energy was clearly revealed on the intangible sword.

Dyers opened his mouth to the amazing Latina.

“I’m not telling a lie either.”

“Try it.”

“I believed you would endure.”

Latina and Dyers’ gazes crossed in the air. The two people made a refreshing sound with their palms, regardless of who went first.
