Episode 163: An Angel Attacking the Dungeon (1)
“Then we will find out more details through the correspondent on-site. Reporter Kim Soo-ho?”
“Yes, this is Wonsan Port.”
One peaceful morning, unpeaceful news began.
“At 7:30 a.m. time, an abrupt Sephiroth abnormality was detected in a 15-kilometer radius near Wonsan Port. After that, the building presumed to be a temple of another world… … .”
The news showed a building. A huge and majestic building covered in green algae. Although it was floating in the middle of the sea, there seemed to be no way to get there.
“Then, is it okay to call it a dungeon creation?”
“According to experts, yes. All values detected by Arger sensors are said to be similar to dungeon manifestations.”
“ah… … .”
The referee knew that building.
I don’t know why. The future that has now disappeared, it was the dungeon that was called the scariest dungeon.
“The exact size of the dungeon has not yet been measured. This is because the advance squad sent by the main guild has only just entered. More details will be announced after the advance team returns.”
Superman from a successful guild was waving in front of the camera. They seemed to have no fear at all as the elite of the major guilds whose skills were recognized.
Maybe it’s because I’ve attacked several dungeons like this.
‘It can’t be stopped because it’s already entered… … .’
The referee closed his eyes and thought about that dungeon.
Various names were attached to that dungeon.
Destroy the country by destroying the country,
Гро́зный (fear) because the very existence itself is terrifying.
Last but not least, it was the only dungeon that was judged impossible to capture, hence the nickname, Impossible Dungeon.
‘And the real name is Demon Dragon’s Nest.’
The dungeon ruled by one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Demon Dragon, was the Demon Dragon’s nest.
‘How the hell did you already… … .’
The referee was deep in thought, hiding his trembling hands.
In the last timeline, the Demon Dragon’s nest only appeared after the Mariana Base was captured. That was a few years away. By the way… … .
‘But you’re already showing up? Haven’t the Mariana bases been captured yet?’
Of course, the referee didn’t think that everything would go the same way as last time. Because a lot of things have already changed.
But all things happen too quickly.
More than the referee remembered.
From the invasion of the two Four Heavenly Kings to the terror of the Superhuman Bureau.
It was all happening faster than the previous timeline.
‘… Perhaps the Demon King was impatient.’
The referee starts watching the news again.
‘Two of the Four Heavenly Kings have already been neutralized, and all the evil deeds of the Demon King have been stopped.’
Then, as a Demon King, there is no choice but to be impatient.
So you must have already brought out such a powerful number.
“… … .”
Soya secretly pushes vegetables into another bowl while the referee watches the news carefully. And after eating the leftover meat yum-yum, he stood up muttering, ‘Oh, I ate it all.’
‘Dragon. The third-in-command of the Demon King’s Army, who is paired with the doorman.’
However, the referee did not know that.
Just thinking about dragons.
‘What the hell does that cunning snake mean?’
Dizzy- The referee, with a headache, looked down at the table to finish his meal. And immediately noticed a change on the table.
“Soya?”
“Yes?”
“Are there any vegetables left?”
The referee was smiling. As always, it was an angelic smile.
but,
The fact that angels have numerous positions.
For example, a corporal punishment angel who inflicts hardships and trials on those who do not listen.
With a cold smile like a corporal punishment angel referee, the referee approached Soya with a bowl.
“Hey, those vegetables are too bitter. It’s utterly hateful… … .”
It was Soya who did not use the word black horse hatred if she had a conscience. But the referee did not stop.
“You can’t eat junk food! That’s why you can’t grow taller!”
“What, what? Am I a little older?”
And then, the cow that lifts up its claws.
In fact, Soya is a little taller than at the entrance ceremony, and she has to wear a new uniform.
Of course, I still haven’t been able to get away from the cute girl.
‘It was a little big.’
The referee looked at Soya’s lips, who was protesting something, hiding her proud heart.
“Gap.”
“Wow.”
And he put vegetables on his lips without mercy.
“Okay, then I’ll get ready to go to school first.”
“Wait… … .”
“It’s good for magic, so don’t use it. At least once boiled, the bitterness is almost gone.”
Why did they set up their nests in Wonsan without any support? Did the demon king command it? What the hell kind of operation is this? That dragon… … .
‘I’ve never seen such a valuable creature, even in my long life.’
What the hell was that evil dragon thinking?
‘Chuckle, human.’
If there was a hell, would it be such a landscape? Inside the Demon Dragon’s nest, people who have been turned into toys. Superhumans, young and old, who suffered and died in every way.
throb-
‘Humans are truly wonderful creatures.’
The referee suppressed the rising fear and smiled brightly so as not to worry Soya.
‘Invasion of the Demon Dragon. From now on really… … .’
From now on, it was a real ordeal.
An ordeal like never before.
Perhaps too harsh an ordeal for a referee who is a little timid.
“The referee.”
“boy!”
Two girls were waiting for the referee in front of the church door. Yumari, as always, neatly dressed, and Hong-wol with her pink tail fluttering in full decoration.
Seeing the two girls, the referee smiled.
“… you can do it.”
The referee said to himself.
* * *
General schools and superhuman training academies had many similarities. First of all, it was similar to wearing a school uniform… … .
“No, it’s already midterm?”
It was the fact that the test came faster than the students felt.
“Is the midterm exam like this again?”
“It’s better than this. change it suddenly It’s difficult.”
One day when spring comes to an end,
The midterm exam season for the Central Superman Academy has arrived.
Students looking at the midterm exam schedule posted on the central square. Among them were the referee and three young warriors.
“Go out to society to serve, close rifts, hunt monsters, arrest criminals, or attack dungeons. I’ll give you points roughly based on your achievements.”
Hong-wol read the notice with an annoyed attitude. Yumari, who was listening to that, asked the referee as if passing by.
“Reference, are you going to go with Soya again this time?”
“yes.”
Soya naturally answers before the referee.
“I didn’t ask Ms. Soya.”
“Shit.”
The referee shook his head and looked at Yumari.
“Let’s test together this time. Me, Wol, Soya, and you all together.”
“Oh, it’s a hindrance. I can do it all by myself. The boy just needs to come.”
“Who should interrupt!”
“The kid who was the most disturbing was angry.”
The grumblings of Soya and Hong-wol are now familiar.
‘But I’m glad I don’t see myself living like I used to. In the end, I fell in love with the fight.’
The referee remembered when Hongwol and Soya fought each other. At that time, I thought that flirting with life would never make friends.
Still, we got along with the referee, and Soya became a little more docile and Hong-wol became civilized as well… … .
‘And while we were running the club game together, fighting with the demon king’s clone, and this time we went to the St. Lucia exchange meeting together… … .’
The two eventually became friends.
Of course, they won’t acknowledge each other.
The referee heard that in order to find the fallen warrior, they shared each other’s strengths and reached the truth the fastest.
Of course, as always, we were making fun of each other.
‘This is the hero’s party.’
proud-
The referee smiled proudly and stroked the two girls.
“Ah, referee. A little bit of being treated like a child from the outside… … .”
“Boy, I like it there… … .”
However, if there was a problem, it was that girl, Marie, who was still standing without any expression.
Marie was a mysteriously beautiful girl, but there were many parts that were difficult to approach.
If Hong-Wol and So-Ya said that they became friends while fighting each other, it felt like Marie avoided fighting and did not even give them a chance to get to know each other.
‘… I don’t have time. As long as the Demon King’s invasion has begun in earnest, Marie should be able to quickly become friends with those kids.’
While the referee was so worried,
An interesting story came from somewhere.
“What are you doing this time?”
“If that’s the case… How about attacking the dungeon?”
“A dungeon attack? If you want to get a high score by attacking the dungeon, it must be hard to organize a party.”
A student who was talking to each other suddenly hears a voice unfamiliar.
“That’s the story I heard from my uncle.”
“Your uncle? You are a high-ranking Dermatic Guild executive.”
“Uh, the dungeon discovered in Wonsan this time, the Dermatic Guild members also participated as a preliminary.”
A dungeon discovered in Wonsan,
It was referring to the dragon’s nest.
Sneak- The referee overheard the conversation between the two students pretending to be nothing.
Of course, as a second-year student, I made a soundproof barrier through scrolling, but… The referee was Klein’s immediate disciple, and he could easily ignore such barriers.
“therefore?”
“You say it’s a complete Hogu dungeon? The rewards are salty, but the level of the monsters is really lame.”
“real?”
“Uh, all of the advance squad survived. Everything, including the contract workers who were taken as workers.”
… … ?
Power Survival?
In the dragon’s nest?
fear itself.
The fortress of a tyrant who destroys the country.
Did you say that the dungeon, which was judged impossible to capture by any means, was successfully cleared by the advance squad?
The conversation between the two students is getting harder and harder to believe.
“The rumors must have spread because Dermatic wasn’t the only one participating in this advance squad. The smart kids are already heading to Wonsan.”
“then.”
“After all, if you choose a dungeon in the midterm, you get points as a reward. Is it because it’s the greatest Hogu dungeon?”
Then the student wiped his face and asked again.
“Yeah, it’s a relative evaluation, so you can’t miss an opportunity like this. Then the well-informed kids will have already noticed… I must go quickly.”
“Let’s leave today. No hesitation.”
The referee looked around. And I focused on the conversations of other students.
Conversations between children who have patrons on the guild side, or between young master girls who are running an intelligence organization in the family.
Keywords that come up in common in their conversations.
‘Origin.’
‘Greatest Hogu Dungeon.’
‘Because it is a relative evaluation, you must go.’
‘That too quickly.’
‘I still don’t know exactly which dungeon it is.’
… The referee held his breath.
It was because the cunning demon dragon had some sense of what the evil snake was decorating.
“The referee, are you okay?”
Marie looks at her with a worried attitude. The referee smiled so as not to worry Marie.
Long wavy black hair. Contrasting white skin and small blue horns on his head. The horns, which were slightly larger than when they first met, were a sign that this girl was now one of the only two remaining dragons.
“it’s okay.”
And the referee called the children together.
“This is our midterm exam.”
“The midterm?”
I know the fear of the Demon Dragon’s Nest. And I know the strength of the Demon Dragon. To be honest, the referee was scared.
“Let’s attack the dungeon.”
But the referee mustered up the courage.
