Episode 160
“Huh…?”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ also had a blank expression.
“But aren’t we going to be able to use the stove now anyway?”
‘Beccaria’ said.
“But, there are no outlets right now. Isn’t this something I can’t use anyway?”
I said.
“I don’t need an outlet?”
“Huh?”
“This is a stove that runs on batteries.”
“…What? Hey, give it to me.”
‘Becca Ria’ pressed the power button on the stove with her eyes sparkling.
Then warm heat began to come out of the stove.
“…What? This is real.”
He said with a surprised expression.
Then, ‘Cha Ji-yoon’s eyes also sparkled.
With that, she began to creep forward.
She quietly put her hand out in front of the stove.
Then the corners of her mouth began to rise slightly.
Everyone, including me, was gathered in front of the stove, basking in the heat.
Krrr-
In the meantime. The monster’s voice began to be heard outside.
At the same time, everyone raised their weapons and in an instant, the group began to enter a ready posture.
“Maybe the monster outside is unusual. Everyone be nervous.”
‘Radeon’ said.
“It’s Red Gate, so it definitely won’t be normal. There may be monsters at a level we can’t handle.”
‘Kim Na-yoon’ said while swallowing her saliva.
The most recent ‘Red Gate’ occurred 5 years ago.
And, the monster that came out there was incomparably stronger than the previous monster.
In the end, the party that entered there was wiped out.
The monsters in ‘Red Gate’ cannot be compared to the monsters in regular dungeons.
The group began to carefully move out of the cave.
Krrr-
The monster’s eerie voice continued to get closer.
“Is everyone ready?”
‘Radeon’ said with an expression full of tension.
“Uh, let’s go out. However, let’s just eat this and then let’s go.”
‘Kim Na-yoon’ took out the medicines in her bag.
It was a medicine that temporarily increased magical power.
“Do I even have to eat this? I was originally supposed to eat it in the boss room.”
“We have no choice now. If we make a mistake now, we could be wiped out.”
“…That’s certainly true.”
‘Beccaria’ nodded and said.
The monsters that appear in ‘Red Gate’ are completely unpredictable.
Monsters that are dozens of times stronger than the level of the monsters that originally appeared in this dungeon will appear.
The most recent Red Gate occurred 5 years ago.
At that time, all party members were wiped out by the first monster they encountered.
This was because the monsters far exceeded the original dungeon difficulty level.
“Even taking doping drugs can be difficult, you know what I mean?”
‘Kim Na-yoon’ said.
“You have to come to your senses.”
‘Radeon’ said with a very nervous expression.
“Then let’s count to three and go out.”
The group gathered in front of the cave entrance.
So that we can jump out of the cave quickly.
“Three.”
“Two.”
“One.”
“Okay. Let’s go out now.”
‘Radeon’ said.
Then the group went out all at once.
“Huh? What is it?”
However, Beccaria’s expression soon calmed down as he went outside.
No, rather, he had a relaxed expression.
“You took doping drugs for no reason, right? Just save it.”
“I should have done that.”
‘Kim Na-yoon’ said.
What we have in front of us now are ‘trolls’.
Separated into lower class monsters
“Is this something light? Should I try sweeping it?”
‘Beccaria’ said, rolling her arms.
‘Beccaria’ started running forward.
“…Huh?”
He wrapped mana around his sword.
To be precise, she was trying to surround herself.
“…What is this?”
He said with a surprised expression.
“Why is this mana…”
His sword was not surrounded by any mana.
The only thing we can rely on now is the sheer force of the individual.
And when it comes to swordsmanship, ‘Radeon’ was close to the ‘peak’.
“Doyoon.”
“..Huh?”
“Here.”
Radeon handed him one of the long swords he was holding.
“I might not be able to do it alone, but if Doyoon joins you, we can get out of here. Do you know what I mean?”
‘Radeon’ said to ‘Nam Do-yoon’.
“I’ll go first, so Doyun, you can cover me from behind. That’s enough.”
‘Radeon’ began to walk forward.
At some point, trolls began to come into close range of Radeon.
‘Radeon’ turned his head back.
Then he made a puzzled expression.
“…Why aren’t you coming? Doyoon.”
This is because Nam Do-yoon was standing still.
“Doyoon. In this situation, only you and I can get out together. You know what I mean.”
“I know that, but…”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ looked nervous.
Obviously, ‘Radeon’ said that after seeing my swordsmanship.
However, there is a problem.
The point is that ‘Sword Master Swordsmanship’ is currently on cooldown, so it cannot be used at all.
“…?”
The companions also looked at Nam Do-yoon strangely.
“…Even if I join forces, we won’t be able to win.”
From Noble mtl dot com
‘Nam Do-yoon’ said.
“What do you mean? If we join forces, surely…”
“Look over there.”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ pointed to a troll in the distance.
For some reason, that troll was quite heterogeneous compared to other trolls.
The troll was holding a ‘magic wand’ and striking a translucent curtain.
Then the expressions of the companions instantly hardened.
“Hey.. That can’t be right.”
“Huh. I guess that’s right?”
A troll holding a ‘magic wand’ and wearing a ‘translucent membrane’.
The identity of the ‘translucent membrane’ seemed clear.
“It’s a membrane that reflects physical damage.”
“…Then, it’s no use.”
“…”
‘Radeon’s expression hardened in an instant.
If you are covered in that translucent membrane, there is no way, no matter how good your swordsmanship is.
“Then, run away now…”
‘Radeon’ looked back.
However, the ‘trolls’ were already surrounded.
He swallowed hard.
There seemed to be no way.
That moment.
Too doo duduk-
Suddenly, the troll’s translucent membrane began to break.
Soon, a large hole appeared in the troll’s stomach.
Old language-
Just like that, the troll fell down, bleeding.
“What… That was just…”
‘Kim Na-yoon’ said with a puzzled expression.
“Uh. It was clearly Mana? What happened?”
‘Beccaria’ also shook his head and said.
I could clearly feel the flow of mana.
But, it was strange.
Unlike regular dungeons, in ‘Red Gate’, incomprehensible phenomena occur.
And here, the phenomenon was clearly magical power being sealed.
“Obviously… The mana came from here.”
Beccaria turned his gaze back.
Then, ‘Nam Do-yoon’ was standing there.
“What is it? Did you write it, Doyoon?”
“Uh.”
“…How?”
“I’ll tell you about that later, so let’s focus on the enemy in front of us.”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ said, pointing ahead.
“Okay. I understand for now.”
‘Radeon’ started to run forward.
The trolls soon began to be cleared out.
The corpses of trolls were piled up like a mountain behind.
The battle ended soon.
Afterwards, ‘Radeon’ spoke.
“Doyoon. What happened?”
‘Radeon’ said with a surprised expression.
“None of us can use magic power at all, so how can you use it?”
“I’ll explain that later, but first”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ pointed to the ‘fortress’ in the distance.
“Let’s go in there first. I’ll tell you later.”
The group began heading towards the castle.
Then I began to hear people’s voices.
The sound of people talking noisily began to reach their ears.
“What? Are there people living in that castle over there?”
“I guess so? There were people living even in such a small castle.”
Soon, the party arrived in front of the castle gate.
“I’ll knock once.”
Knock-
Knock-
‘Radeon’ knocked on the castle door.
However, no voice came back from inside.
Rather, I couldn’t even hear the loud conversation coming from inside.
“What is it?”
‘Radeon’ tilted his head.
Then he knocked harder on the castle door this time.
Knock-
Knock-
Knock-
“Are you there?”
When I heard the voice of ‘Radeon’, a voice came from inside.
“Who are you?”
It was a voice filled with complete caution.
“We happened to come across this castle while passing by. Can we go inside this castle?”
“….I’m sorry, but I don’t think that will work.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I’m sorry. Please go back now.”
His voice was firm.
‘Radeon’ had a stern expression.
“What should I do with this? I can’t stay in that cave forever.”
I said.
“Hey. Wait a minute, I’ll talk to you.”
“Huh?”
‘Radeon’ made a puzzled expression.
“I’ll tell you, so stay with me for a moment.”
“Doyun you are going to tell me?”
“Uh, just wait a minute. Please come out.”
This time, ‘Nam Do-yoon’ knocked on the castle door.
Knock-
Knock-
Knock-
“I’m sure you should have asked me to go back. If you keep doing this, it’ll be difficult.”
A slightly more reminiscent voice than before was heard from inside.
“…I understand that the situation inside the castle is quite urgent right now…”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ said.
“Whoa – if it gets to this point, we have no choice but to take action.”
He spoke in a flushed voice.
aaah-
At some point, archers were drawing their bows above the castle gate.
However, the arm pulling their bow was trembling.
It was proof that he couldn’t eat properly.
“Something like that poses no threat.”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ looked above the castle gate.
Then he stretched out his hand towards that direction.
“You’ll know that when you see it.”
Sssss-
At the same time as that voice, arrows began to fly above ‘Nam Do-yoon’s head.
‘Nam Do-yoon’ saw that and laughed.
Namdo Yun stretched out his hand toward the arrows.
Quang-
At the sound of that voice, the arrows were instantly crushed and disappeared.
“…”
There was only a long silence inside the castle.
