261 – Dungeons and Nymphs: A Nymph’s Journey # 4
“The devil’s henchmen have been defeated!”
“The hero defeated the devil’s servant!”
“Oinoi is the hero of our pilgrim village!”
After Imp Burbour escaped, we received even more enthusiastic reception and support.
People carried Oinoi on something like a flower pot as if it were a symbol of the festival, and Oinoi stretched out his chest and shouted as if it felt very good.
“This Oinoi defeated the evil villain… ! It is clear that no other nymph could have chased away strange creatures with tails so brilliantly… !”
Oinoi, the warrior who chased away the devil.
The name spread to every last person in the village of 666 people, and we became very famous.
Saint Isabella said as she came out to the park in a hurry.
“It’s amazing that you kicked out Imp Burbur, the devil’s henchman… ! “Imp Burbur is the devil’s messenger and a villain who always demands unreasonable amounts of tribute from our village.”
After the Demon King settled down in the old castle, Demon King Barbatos demanded tribute from this pilgrim village, and if he did not pay tribute, he would take the villagers hostage one by one.
No one knows what happened to the people who were kidnapped as hostages and taken to the Demon King’s Castle.
People heaved a sigh of relief.
“Five boxes of honey candies. It was a very unreasonable demand for tribute. “I wonder if that’s the amount of honey we can produce in a year.”
“If the great warrior Oinoi had not driven out the evil demon, we would have been unable to meet our tribute and would have had to sacrifice hostages!”
“This time it was my daughter’s turn to be a hostage, and I’m so glad!”
“Oinoi, I would like to give you something in return! “If there’s anything you want, let me know!”
It seems that people wanted to repay the great warrior Oinoi.
When people experience something they are thankful for, they often want to voluntarily give something in return.
Then someone said.
“Muhuh, then I’m asking for five boxes of honey candies as compensation…” ! The reward for our nymphs is complete with delicious honey and even more exciting money… !”
Pot-!
Someone came out toward the square.
The guy was a nymph who cut his red hair short and grew it long at the end of the back of his head to make it look like a tail.
Soon people were confused.
“It’s an imp! “The imp has appeared again!”
“They come two by one a day! “We’re screwed!”
“Ah! “If you look closely, there is no tail!”
It was like that.
She was a nymph without a tail.
Originally, nymphs had no tails.
“Looking for a tail from a nymph is a very stupid thing to do…” ! That’s because Illinois and other nymphs naturally don’t have tails… !”
“Ah! The Illinois sisters have appeared… ! This Oinoi is very happy to have met a nymph sister in such an unfamiliar village… !”
“Of Calls… ! I am MeToo… ! It’s called Nice to Michu… !”
Pot, dododo-.
Oinoi jumped out of the flower pot and ran towards Illinois.
Illinois also ran towards Oinoi and hugged each other, which was very touching, and some sensitive people even shed tears while watching this.
I also felt surprised by this situation.
Illinois is here….
“I thought there might have been an accident, but you were calmer than I thought. No, finding such a large colony inside a crack was an accident. Heildo, how can you not be quiet even for a single day?”
A woman approached with a haughty stance and her hand on her waist.
The woman’s name is Seo Ye-rim… Well, there’s no need to explain.
“Seo Ye-rim, what are you doing here?”
“Didn’t Cha Yu-ra tell you? I was supposed to be in charge of the anomalous rift in the well. You arbitrarily entered the crack before I was dispatched. “You can’t believe you’ve advanced to T-level on an A-level subject.”
“No, I didn’t just arbitrarily advance. I’m already with an S ranker. Who is that…. It’s that person over there. A plague doctor. “I am Korea’s unofficial S ranker.”
As I spoke, my heart ached slightly.
Having figured out Ari’s identity, it was difficult for me to decide whether I should tell Seo Ye-rim about this.
“Plague doctor…. Are you talking about that person over there? He is a very suspicious and unpleasant person. “He must be someone who pretends to be innocent in front of him, but behind his back, he is making up many sinister things.”
Seo Ye-rim evaluated the plague doctor that way.
From this sharp reaction, it was clear that she didn’t know that the plague doctor was Yoo Ah-ri.
“Did you arbitrarily let Haildo into this T-class dungeon? Is it because you don’t know how dangerous class T cracks are? “I wonder what he does.”
“… ….”
Plague doctor Yuari closed his mouth.
As I was watching this scene, I felt my stomach twist slightly, stressed out about whether I should keep her mouth shut.
I’m not good at lying!
It would be good to at least ventilate the atmosphere that has come to this.
“Yerim, try saying ‘status window’ with more magic.”
“Status window.”
Pot-!
「Name: Seo Ye-rim
Princess 5 Lv
Witch 5 Lv
Sharpening 1 Lv
Total level: 11 Lv MAX
Strength: Strong
Speed: Fast
Intelligence: Smart
mana: Very generous
Possessed skills: ??」
“What is this? “What kind of letters are appearing?”
Seo Ye-rim seemed a little surprised.
I was also surprised.
As expected, the S rankers were level 11.
Seo Ye-rim had the aptitude for being a “Princess” And an aptitude for being a “Witch,” And she also had an aptitude for “Snapping.” Even though she’s a princess and a witch, she has all sorts of amazing aptitudes, including being smart.
The skills he possessed were question marks.
It was just my intuition, but considering that Ari’s skills were not visible to my eyes, I thought that maybe the information was hidden because he was a person of a higher level than me.

“So, we have to head to the Demon King’s Castle and rescue Miss Kalinoi and Jihoo. “It’s just my opinion, but I think he’s being held together with the hostages who were said to have been taken from this village.”
I explained to Seo Ye-rim well what I would do next.
Seo Ye-rim let out a long snort, but she didn’t seem to be very interested in my strategy.
Well, to me, this type of T-level rift is a place that makes me nervous, but for Seo Ye-rim, it could just be an ordinary workplace that she has always dealt with.
“He is the devil. “The name seems quite strong.”
Seo Ye-rim muttered to herself indifferently, as if the fearsome Demon King was no big deal.
Seo Ye-rim’s flame has the highest destructive power among S rankers, so she has burned all kinds of monsters, including hydras and lava giants.
Even if she is the Demon King, Seo Ye-rim’s firepower will be enough to deal with her.
Seo Ye-rim and Yoo Ah-ri.
I also felt reassured as I was with the two S rankers.
Then it would be good to leave now.
“Muhuh, then we’re leaving for the Demon King’s Castle…” !”
“Let’s go… !”
We set off for the Devil’s Castle with the nymphs.
I really felt like a hero in the game.
Seo Ye-rim is a wizard in charge of the back line and firepower.
Ari is a monk who is a dealer and healer.
I am a druid, a friend of animals, with many useful roles.
Oinoi is a nymph warrior.
Illinois is just Illinois.
What a romantic combination.
Pot-!
At that time, something jumped out in front of the Demon King Castle.
It was a being with a black body and bat wings.
Its claws were sharp like hooks, and its tongue was like a snake.
Even at first glance, it looks scary.
「High-level devil. 10 Lv」
What was interesting was that a name and number appeared above the guy’s head. It felt like I had encountered a game monster.
Is this also the devil’s rule?
From noble mtl dot com
I was on close alert.
My level is 9.
That high-level devil is 10 levels higher than me.
It must be at least an A or S grade monster!
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…” !”
━Crumbling… !
When I shouted, the cat sitting on my shoulder cried out loud. It was a very ferocious cry, and it was also a brave cry.
However, the situation ended without even a moment for Keungkeungi to do anything.
Pot-!
“No matter what happens!”
Psyung-!
This was because Ahri moved at extremely high speed and stabbed the demon’s neck with her finger, blowing a hole in it.
As I looked at the empty hole that looked like a tunnel, my body naturally began to tremble.
Ari’s skills were greater than I thought!
“Ghost… “It’s amazing.”
Although I was a little intimidated, I was impressed.
Then the plague doctor shook the blood off his fingers and said,
“I have keener senses than others, so I see things that others cannot see. All things have weaknesses. “As long as you penetrate that area, you can defeat any enemy.”
It was indeed like that.
Ari made it sound like a simple process, but it’s not just about talent.
It must have been a lot of hard work.
I imagined Ari digging a hole in a mannequin while secretly shouting “Jigun!”
It was quite heartwarming, but also unique in its own way.
“It’s really amazing.”
“That… “Is that so?”
It was Yuari scratching his mask.
For some reason, I felt like I could see the face behind the mask.
His face is probably red and embarrassed.
Even though he was hiding his identity as a ‘plague doctor,’ Ari was still Ari.
Ari was, as expected, an innocent and kind junior of mine.
“Don’t get too sentimental about just defeating one S-rank monster. Are you saying there are hostages being held? Then you know that speed is everything, right? 「Butterfly Flame」-.”
Fluttering fluttering-.
When Seo Ye-rim opened her hands, flames, flapping their wings like butterflies, began to fly through the air.
It is a “High-level demon” That has begun to appear nearby. 10 Lv” Were easily burned.
━Geueeeh!
━Gyaaagh!
The devils were roasted black in less than two seconds.
Illinois said while looking at that.
“These demons may have been able to withstand the fire of hell, but it seems impossible to withstand Kore Yerim’s fiery temper… !”
That was it.
Seo Ye-rim defeats several S-rank monsters at the same time with simple techniques that I would have had to defeat through a very complicated process.
After that, Seo Ye-rim and Yoo Ah-ri defeated the monsters as if competing with each other.
I had been planning to face monsters in a T-class crack for a long time, but I couldn’t face even a single monster.
I felt like an unintentional passenger on a bus, and my back started itching, probably because I was sore from not doing anything.
It felt like honey ants were clinging to my back!
━Zuji… !

“Is this the Devil’s Castle?”
Even though Seo Ye-rim went through countless S-rank monsters, her breathing did not become disturbed.
It was the same for Yu-Ari.
Due to the overwhelming firepower of the two S-rankers, I was able to safely arrive at the Demon King’s Castle, where it is said that many warriors fell just by reaching the entrance.
This was written at the entrance to the Demon King’s Castle.
“It says, “Those who try to enter this place, give up all hope.”… ! hehehehe, this is part of the new song that Illinois helped Dante produce a long time ago… !”
This was my first time hearing that Illinois had a hand in the production of Dante’s “Divine Comedy,” But I knew something about this famous phrase.
“Was it a story written at the entrance to hell?”
This Demon Castle is where a demon so powerful that it is called the Demon King lives.
The Demon King must be on a different level of strength than the high-level demons we met before.
A place where such a being lurks can only be called hell.
“Then let’s enter.”
Giik-.
When we all worked together to push the door, the door began to open inward.
What appeared beyond the heavy door was a dark room.
Soon someone’s voice rang out like a thunderbolt.
「Welcome, challengers. I salute those of you who arrived at a time when I was bored with the boredom that seemed to last for eternity. I am Barbatos, the Demon Lord of Trouble. “I invite you to my entertainment hall.”
