98. seven left
“Kuluk! Cool! Heouk…!”
Arachne coughed up blood and glared at me.
She put on a look of incomprehension.
“Boo, obviously I scratched too…?”
“Oh, yes. Clearly scratched.”
I tilted my head and showed a glimpse of my neck.
Then, a shallow wound was revealed.
Seeing that, Arachne tore the corners of her mouth.
“Whoa, whoa! That’s right! I wasn’t mistaken!”
“Yeah, yeah. I’m sure you’re not mistaken.”
Seeing Arachne smile, I smiled as well.
Then he wiped the blood with his finger.
Of course, those shallow wounds had already healed.
There were bloodstains, but there were not even scars left in the place.
It wasn’t until then that Arachne realized that something was going on differently than she thought.
“Haven’t you already recovered?… No! It can’t be! Even though the wounds have healed, the poison will remain!”
“So? Then it must be using a poison that takes effect a little later.”
“……”
Arachne didn’t answer.
Of course not.
It wasn’t an assassination, and there was no way that the poison used during battle would take effect slowly.
Clearly, there was only one answer.
“My poison won’t work? And you’re going to attack me with poison? You’re saying that nonsense!”
With a tearing voice, Arachne screamed.
On the contrary, I answered leisurely in a very low and small voice.
“why not?”
“Because it’s impossible!”
At that, I pointed my finger at the floor.
A question appeared on Arachne’s face.
I kindly gave an additional explanation.
“Nonsense, impossible, can’t be. The bastards who talked to me like that. They’re all asleep under the floor. A sleep you’ll never wake up from.”
“……!”
Look at the demons like this.
inside of the mind.
Hatred and anger rising from so deep that it is impossible to take it out.
and madness.
I took a step towards him.
I couldn’t tell because I didn’t have a mirror, but I could feel it.
That there would be a terrifyingly creepy smile hanging over my face now.
In fact, Arachne was also taking a step backwards when she saw it.
“Oh, don’t come!”
“Keuhehehe. Yes. Tremble, devil. Run away in fear. Hell will await you at the end!”
“Ughhhh!”
Arachne screamed, spewing cobwebs and leaping to the ceiling.
“Protect me! Protect the queen!”
Without even looking away, she summoned the other spider soldiers.
But.
“……”
There was no answer coming back.
Only then did Arachne turn her head in the direction where the battle first took place.
There, only the dead spider soldiers who had already turned their stomachs on the floor were visible.
The only ones standing were Andrew and Diaz, and Rosesta and Orhel…
“Damn it! This is like lightning in the dry sky…”
Damn it!
“Ughgugguk?”
At that moment, Arachne was really struck by lightning.
The true identity of that thunderbolt was black thunder that I had blown.
Of course, there was no way she knew that, and without knowing why, her intestines burned and she fell again.
cooong!
The face of Arachne, who collapsed right in front of my feet, became terrified and contemplative in an instant.
Watching my legs lift.
“Where are you running to? Huh?”
Kwadeuk!
“Ku, kuaaa…!”
I stepped on one of Arachne’s eight legs and broke it.
Kindly counted.
“There are still seven left.”
“Hee, hee hee!”
* * *
After killing all the spider soldiers.
Diaz told Rosesta.
“Rohan will deal with him, so let’s search inside.”
“You’re still fighting…”
At those words, Diaz turned his gaze to Rohan.
Is it because I haven’t seen you for a long time?
I could tell at a glance.
that there is nothing to worry about.
“Rohan-nim will take care of it. And Orhel-nim is there too.”
“Ah, yes…”
Rosestar also glanced at her.
gulp.
Since they hadn’t been together for a long time, she didn’t know what kind of person Rohan was.
Still, I was feeling it.
‘He doesn’t talk much… but I thought he was a gentle person who pretended to be strong on the outside…’
The sense of intimidation he showed in battle was to the extent that no one in the world could follow him.
It was to the point where I wanted to be glad that I wasn’t an enemy.
There was no mercy, no impatience.
slowly, slowly.
It was taking lives.
While trying to savor the pain as fully as possible.
He was never a soft person.
He was just hiding his claws from the people around him.
Rohan…if I had to question it, he looked like a scary person.
“Let’s go.”
Diaz’s voice calling him again.
Rosestar nodded and came to her senses.
“All right.”
So, they first started exploring the depths of Goulun Cave…
“Wait a minute!”
Right before he did, Andrew, who had finished all the spider soldiers and had nothing to do, approached him.
“I’m bored, so I’ll go with you.”
Diaz nodded.
“Okay. Let’s go together.”
It wouldn’t hurt if Andrew stuck with him more.
It didn’t look like Rohan needed reinforcements anyway.
so the three of them.
I stepped into the Goulun Cave.
* * *
Fortunately, no other enemies appeared while going inside.
It seemed that he had mobilized all his strength in the place where the queen was.
Thanks to that, they were advancing towards the final room without any special hindrance.
Andrew, who was able to afford it, secretly threw a question to Rosestar.
“You didn’t just come here to investigate, did you?”
“Yes?”
“Ah. Don’t look at us as fools. When Lord Rohan said he would take care of it for us. It wouldn’t have been any problem if we just went back. But he was particularly obsessed. He wanted to join us and fight together. So I noticed. Oh, there must be another reason.”
“……”
“Lord Rohan knows about it, but he just ignored it. I haven’t seen him for a long time, but you know from seeing him, right? That person isn’t normal.”
“Yes, yes.”
“What is it? What’s going on?”
At Andrew’s question, Rosesta paused for a moment.
I opened my mouth slowly.
“Actually, right before Aphelia and I were dispatched, there was someone who started ahead.”
Andrew and Diaz nodded.
Only here they are ignored, not ignored, but they were the Heretic Inquisitor and the Seven Knights.
Of course, the fact that they were going out meant that it was confirmed that it was such a big deal.
Because it was not possible to dispatch this level of high-level personnel individually for a single investigation mission.
“The one who started the investigation first was a paladin?”
“Yes. He was a Holy Knight and a great cleric. He was also the one who raised Aphelia and me. But… he was last dispatched here, and we lost contact.”
“Ah… so…”
Andrew nodded as if he understood.
Coincidentally, all three of them here were from orphans.
Andrew’s first attempt to hire Diaz as his lieutenant was also because he knew about Diaz’s circumstances and was concerned.
because I was in the same situation.
Because of this, Diaz did not speak, but he fully understood Rosesta’s heart.
how worried
A person like her parents had gone missing here.
The three hurried their steps without further words.
Everyone was of the same mind now.
May the paladin live…
Almost halfway through, they were able to reach the last room fairly quickly.
I hurried my steps, and no obstacles appeared until the end.
But even though they arrived so comfortably, their facial expressions were rotten.
It was because of the harsh reality unfolding before my eyes.
“Kieek…”
“…… Kreuk.”
The inside, lit by torches, was literally a living hell.
Torn limbs are scattered on the floor.
The sacrificial offerings made after becoming a spider soldier were upside down, neither dying nor living.
I was almost out of breath while emitting a terrible sound…
It looked like it would die soon if left alone.
Andrew stepped forward and decapitated them.
Awesome!
A monster whose head was cut off without any resistance.
Looking down at that guy, Andrew spoke.
“Maybe this will ease the pain.”
“……”
“……”
Diaz, who stood still for a moment, also drew his sword.
Rosestar looked at her like that.
Diaz nodded and gave Rosesta an answer.
“Sir Andrew is right. It would be nice to have blood on our hands to alleviate their pain as soon as possible.”
“All right.”
Awesome! Awesome!
Rosestar also took up her sword and joined in alleviating the suffering of the terrible monsters.
By the way……
stop.
Didn’t Rosestar suddenly stop on the way?
rattling……
At the same time, I could see her hand holding the sword trembling.
Seeing this, Diaz approached.
“Lord Rosesta? What’s up?”
One Rosesta didn’t listen to Diaz.
He didn’t even look away.

Just whispering softly
“……Father……”
“no way……!”
I knew it without having to ask further.
“Kurrrrrrr……!”
That the existence that became a monster was the Holy Knight who raised Rosestar and Aphelia.
this was the devil
What the demons did…!
Diaz grabbed Rosesta’s arm.
Only then did Rosesta look back at Diaz.
“Are you okay?”
“No…it’s not okay.”
Rosestar forced a smile.
“Actually, deep down in my heart, I expected it. That something like this might happen. That’s why I left Aphelia behind. But… seeing this with my own eyes, it’s better than I thought… ….not……”
Diaz’s face hardened.
Because there was only one thing he could do right now.
“Can I…can I do it instead?”
“Please. Reducing the priest’s pain… I don’t think it’s going to be difficult for me.”
“I understand.”
Diaz nodded and stepped forward.
Booung, seokkeok!
decapitated the monster
The severed head of Denggang rolled several times.
“thanks……”
I lost focus as I left my last will.
Upon seeing that, Diaz gnashed his teeth.
“I hope Rohan will torment that demon more…”
* * *
Arachne with six broken legs.
He crawled away with his only two arms.
Of course, it was too slow to even call it an escape.
“Heh! Heh heh heh! Sa, save me! Please! Jebaaal!”
Arachne begs for her life without giving up running away.
I was dumbfounded.
Spider soldiers scattered over there.
Terrible monsters created through the medium of sacrificed human beings.
What were those people like when they made it?
Would you have said that you would become a monster with your own feet?
no.
He would have struggled and ran away, begging for help.
The faces of the spider soldiers were all contorted with pain and fear.
Perhaps that was the last face he had in his life.
But you want to save yourself
Isn’t this too cowardly?
‘I have to be this cowardly to be a devil, yes.’
I had to come out like this again, and it tasted like trampling on me.
It must be disgusting to the end.
Because that’s the devil’s family.
I whistled and walked away.
Awesome!
Of the two remaining arms, the left arm was cut off.
“Aagh!”
Chew!
His right arm was also cut off.
“Sah, you bastard begged for help…!”
Deng Gang.
“You talk a lot. It hurts your ears.”
