episode_0311

Other than the fact that some houses were destroyed in various places and there was damage from falling objects, the chaos that occurred on an otherwise peaceful evening.

Vivian and the others, who witnessed before their eyes the strange phenomenon of monsters that had no way of appearing within the royal capital suddenly appearing in droves, were engaged in a life-and-death struggle with no end in sight.

Everyone who approached the room, feeling strange about the commotion going on in the hall of a large bar, was met with a single harsh word and had to run away in a hurry.

“Hiik!! What is that!!”

“Did you see it?

Go quickly and report it!!”

“Ah… Okay!!”

If you look at the time zone, there will be a lot of people passing by on the streets.

Because the door of the bar was broken, it was as if what was happening inside was being broadcast live to the outside in real time.

“Watch your head.”

“Hey!! How did you grow your hair!!

Are you planning to make me bald!?”

“It would be better to be bald than to have a thin neck.”

It wasn’t some kind of magical girl, but upon seeing girls in school uniforms fighting monsters and a woman in uniform inside, many people ran to the nearby security office to report it.

Nevertheless, as time passed, no one seemed to come to help them.

“Ha… Is Polcinella still there? … ”

Polcinella said he would go deeper into the bar to find out what was going on, but he said it would only take a minute, but 10 minutes later there has been no news.

The police offices, which were installed throughout the capital like police stations, would have sent a small number of reinforcements as soon as they received a report, but there was no news yet.

‘Is there anything in there that would occupy Polcinella’s time?

‘Is there something else that the Public Security Agency can’t pay attention to?’

Feeling that something had gone wrong, it had gone terribly wrong, Deborah cut down one of the monsters and then bent down to quickly dodge the ensuing charge. There were many indescribable thoughts in Deborah’s eyes.

However, Vivian, who was momentarily taken by surprise as the monster she had dodged rushed towards the door, barely managed to swat the monster away and was completely irritated, forgetting to use polite language.

“Ugh… Don’t you think it’s too much to pass it on like that?”

“You seemed bored, so I gave you some work to do.”

“You must be young!!”

Although it was a heartwarming scene with jokes that bordered on harsh words being exchanged, in reality, the situation was not all that good.

Monsters keep coming, and you have to stop them without any time to rest.

Vivian, who was doing the most comfortable job of guarding the door, Deborah, who had an extraordinary level of discipline, and Roxanne were still able to afford it.

On the other hand, Anne, who had no special strengths except for her slightly improved skills, and Ranie, who focused only on cutting without thinking, were slowly showing signs of growing tired.

At least, Ranie received some kind of warm light from Roxanne from time to time, and was recovering her stamina little by little, but that was it.

In fact, unlike Roxanne, who was wielding a heavy weapon and could freely control her distance, it was true that her position, where she had to run wild while holding an ordinary sword, was the most burdensome role.

“Rene!! Switch with me.”

“Hehe… Huh…

That’s okay… … !?”

“Quickly!!”

“Then I’ll leave… !!”

Vivian takes turns with Ranie, who quickly runs away, and begins to attack forward.

Every time her sword flashed, the monsters appeared to be splitting here and there and falling down with blood of various colors spraying out.

At least, the monsters so far have taken on a somewhat universal appearance, and it was very fortunate for her that she could roughly predict what their weaknesses would be and what their attack style would be.

‘neck… !!’

Whether the enemy was a dog, a wolf, or a hyena, the tearing of flesh or pulverizing bones may be different when bitten by teeth, but cutting off a leg reduces mobility, and cutting off a head causes death.

However, Vivian realized that this was not the time to worry about the attention of those around her, so she quietly activated Nemea and began to cover her entire body with black, sleek carapace.

It would be difficult if Deborah found out, but wouldn’t it be better than dying?

Nemea, which was in the form of a school uniform, was not completely devoid of protective power, but it was nothing compared to its current form.

It is the most suitable form for combat, maximizing athletic ability and physical mobility.

Vivian, who bares the beautiful curves of her body and begins to fight without any skirts or sleeves in the way, is concentrating on driving the monsters around as much as possible and taking their souls out, just like Ranie did.

“But this… !! until when!! Should I do it!?”

“Until Polcinella comes back.”

“Isn’t that dangerous!?

The person who said he would be there in 1 minute!!

You haven’t arrived yet!?

If there is no support against endless enemies!!

There is no answer?”

“Tch… … ”

In response to Roxanne’s question, Deborah clucked her tongue and cut down a monster.

Now, monster corpses are slowly piling up on the floor.

Roxanne’s words were valid in a way, so Deborah, who had narrowed her eyes as if she was thinking about this and that, cut down the next monster and started shouting at the surroundings.

“Prepare to retreat… !!

On the count of three, we leave here through the door..!!

You guys have done enough.

Anywhere is fine, so contact the nearby public security office and take action to return home!!”

‘That’s difficult… ‘

“One… two… !!”

“Kkkk!!

me… It’s here… … !!”

The exact moment when everyone started to slowly back away.

The moment when the attention of others who were retreating was caught by the sight of someone suddenly smashing through the wall inside the bar and rolling around on the floor.

“Polcinella!!”

This time, someone was running ahead of Vivian, who had reacted late to the attack of the monsters targeting the creature.

“Wow!! Tsk… … !!”

“Monehen!!”

Anne runs towards Polcinella, who is struggling to get up from the floor and wriggles, and sticks her sword into the back of the neck of the monster running in front of her, holding on to avoid being pushed back.

Since she couldn’t properly attack the weak subject, it was her action to fight with force the monster that was not yet dead and was violently thrashing about, but fortunately, thanks to that, Polcinella was unharmed.

“Off… Ugh… … ”

From between Anne’s clenched teeth, a moan of pain from being crushed by force was flowing out.

“Retrieve those and retreat!! Move quickly!!”

As Deborah rushed forward and spoke, Vivian and Roxanne, who had been watching the situation from behind, also rushed forward and began to clear the path blocked by the monsters.

In the end, Deborah cut off the head of the monster that Anne was blocking, and immediately wrapped her arms around Anne’s waist, dragging Polcinella to the floor and retreating, while Vivian and Roxanne were blocking her path of retreat, brandishing their weapons.

“Here!! Quickly!!”

And Ranie, who was opening the escape route behind them, was holding a wide iron plate, I don’t know where it came from, and was waiting for the others to retreat. As soon as they all left, they erected an iron plate and blocked the entrance.

“Whew… The house next door has a big teppanyaki grill?”

– Kwam kwadang kwakwam kwam kwam

Due to the sounds of the monsters continuously pushing or hitting the iron plates with their bodies and trying to break them, the women managed to retreat outside the bar, and only then were they able to collapse on the floor and rest.

Of course, you never know when they’ll figure out how to break out a closed window, so you’ll have to be careful about that.

“Whoa… … It’s a request experience…

It’s more practical than you think, isn’t it?

Maybe it’s because it’s the central magic kingdom…

The scale seems extraordinary!!”

“Ha… ha… That can’t be possible… …

This is just this… Phew… It’s unusual… ”

While Vivian, who was now tired of arguing, was roughly responding to Roxanne’s words, Deborah was waking up Polcinella by slapping her cheek after she had been dragged out.

Not only was Folcinella the only person who knew the inside information, but I felt like my worries about her, my classmate and close friend, were clearly revealed through this incident.

“Nell… !! wake up… !!”

“Come to your senses!! Polcinella!!

What was in there!? What happened!!

It’s the thing that disappears after speaking!!”

Actually, it might not have been like that…

“Paradise!! Can you heal this bitch!?”

“Slowly, I see my body starting to get cold…

I guess it won’t cure much.

Still, I will try as much as I can!!”

Roxanne slowly knelt down towards them and carefully placed her hand on Polcinella’s chest. Soon, her hand became bright and the light was slowly illuminating Polcinella’s body.

“Looking at the current condition, a complete cure is difficult.

It seems like there are a lot of bites here and there…

It looks like there was quite a bit of bleeding… …

He must be a pretty strong person, what could have happened?”

“Unknown at this time.

I need to wake this bitch up quickly and ask her.

We have to do something about that quickly… ”

A shadow of impatience gradually appeared in Deborah’s eyes as she looked back at the iron door, which was still making banging and clanging noises.

Right then.

“Ugh… … ”

“Folcinella!! Come to your senses!!”

“Ugh… It’s like we have our own voices… ”

“I am not the same person you were before.

Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Uhhhh… … Waist… …

me… I’m hurt a lot… … ?

I guess I’ll never be able to make rice cake again… … ?”

“There is no time to talk nonsense.

What did you see inside? hurry… !!”

Polcinella, who had opened her eyes at Deborah’s urging, immediately smiled weakly with a face that looked like she was about to die, and then showed a hesitation that was uncharacteristic of her.

“Me too… I can’t believe what I saw…

If that’s the case… No matter how much I think about it… … ”

“What!!”

“Dungeon… It’s a dungeon… … Ugh…

At least in my opinion… … I guess so… ?”

“It’s a dungeon… … ?”

In the end, Deborah’s eyes, who had never lost her composure, opened wide as if she were seriously surprised by a single uncertain word that came out of her mouth.

That one word Polcinella said.

That is exactly the ripple effect that the word ‘dungeon’ can have.

If that were the case, it would be possible to explain all the events that have occurred so far, and conversely, it could also explain how dangerous the current situation is.

A dungeon was a pit of magical power that was created for unknown reasons.

And within it, for some reason, numerous monsters were created from nothing.

When asked what the most dangerous being to humans was in human history, many people were able to come up with their own different opinions.

Some people pointed to this monster, some to that monster, and some suddenly pointed to human greed, environmental destruction, and aliens who had infiltrated among humans.

But the dungeon was something that everyone said was the worst.

“Why… There’s a dungeon in a place like this…

here is… Isn’t it the royal road? … ”

The dungeon, which gaped like a monster wherever mankind stepped, took countless lives from the monsters it spewed out, and led countless warriors who tried to subdue it to a lonely and miserable fate.

The data accumulated through the sacrifices of countless brave men became the backbone for completely conquering the dungeons in the human habitation area.

By deploying only a limited number of people, about a hundred warriors with expertise in various fields, to destroy the magical energy created somewhere in the dungeon with minimal sacrifice.

Only after making such sacrifices were humans finally freed from the threat of the dungeon and able to live a life of peace and security.

The problem was that, just looking at the records, the last dungeon conquered record was over 150 years ago.

‘It does not make sense… … It was so sudden… …

Now that it’s suddenly called a dungeon… … ?’

It has occasionally happened that the guardians of the front line discover an outside dungeon while searching, but there is no way they would have taken the risk of subduing a dungeon beyond the front line, outside of humanity’s living space, in the first place.

It was extremely rare for a dungeon that did not normally exist to suddenly appear.

And even if something like that did happen, it was even rarer for casualties to occur.

In each of Groden’s major cities, like Undenbrach, there were numerous ancient magicians protecting the city, and measures were taken to prevent dungeons from forming due to abnormal magical energy.

In that sense, the sudden appearance of a dungeon in this royal capital was enough in itself to be shocking and shocking news.

“They say there is none!! No!!”

While their agony was continuing, Ranie, who had rushed to the nearby police station following Vivian’s orders, was returning. Even before he arrived, the sound of yelling was heard.

When Ranie, panting and shouting, reached their side, Deborah was asking her a question.

“Huh… eww… Phew… … ”

“Rene, what do you mean there’s nothing?”

“This… Only here… I don’t think that’s happening!!

Whoa… Whoa… Monsters are coming from all over the capital!!

It looks like all of the security police department’s personnel are moving to other places!!

For now… that… They say they can’t support you…

Ah, but mercenaries and royal knights are preparing, so just hold on a little longer… !!”

“Damn… … ”

In the end, as they faced the worst situation, there was silence for a moment among the party members, and even Ranie, who had been talking soon, faced the atmosphere and could only exhale heavily and keep her mouth shut.

Folcinella, who was one of the best forces, retired according to the rule that there is no business in Daguri.

In addition, Rani was exhausted, and Anne was still holding her shoulder with a pained expression, as if she had strained her body at the moment of rescuing Polcinella.

Deborah, who was unusually shocked by the news that dungeons had been created all over the capital, and even Vivian, who was beginning to worry that if things continued like this, it would have an impact on Enic as well.

And above all, if you include the sense of helplessness brought about by the fact that the monster replicator in front of you was a dungeon, it was rather strange to come to your senses in the current situation.

Of course, in the meantime, there was a girl who was lost in a lot of thoughts and was thinking about various things.

‘If you let them go… Even if the problem is solved…

It would be difficult if even a monster search came in… …

These guys… We must stop it here… … ‘

The girl’s blue eyes flashed fiercely, and soon her eyes began to slowly turn and look in the direction of Floraz.

‘I’m not going to sit down like this… ‘

“Renee, please stay here.

I think I have a way.”

“Yes… ? Uh… no way… … ?”

“That’s probably true…

I don’t know what it was, but a party was held…

We should have a great time too, right? Isn’t that right?”

Seeing Vivian kicking off the ground and running off somewhere without Ranie having time to stop her, Deborah looked away as if she had not seen her, and blew out her messy hair on the side with her mouth.

“Now you don’t even think about hiding it…

I guess I’ll have to go arrest him sooner or later… ”
