195 – Black Dungeon – 5
There has never been a time when the saying that beauty is pretty no matter what happens has never felt so real. Her orange hair and green eyes look so good in her warm sunlight.
As I stared blankly at her as if she were shining, she smiled brightly at her and lightly pressed her nose to mine.
“Oh my God? Why do you look at me like that? Huh? Did you fall in love?”
“I fell in love with you in the past.”
“Huh? Ugh, aww.”
She laughed mischievously and her face turned red. After lightly kissing Yoo Choa on the forehead, I stood up. Let’s see… Wow. I slept almost twelve hours.
“What about the others?”
“Elizabeth and Siyeon went to training. And the others are training too.”
“How do you know?”
“Huh? I went out too. I came because I thought I should wake up soon.”
With a smirk, she slightly pinched my cheek and pointed to the window. She looked out the window and saw that she was sparring with everyone in charge, one by one, except for Bishop Peter.
It seems like I’m the only one who is lazy.
“Okay. Let’s go out too.”
When I went outside with Choa Yoo, Elder Breath, who was sparring with Elizabeth, waved her hand at me. Judging from that smile, it didn’t seem like he slept with Elizabeth.
“hahahahaha!! You must be very tired! Sleeping so late!”
“Ahahahaha… Sorry.”
“What is there to be sorry about? More than that, is your body okay?”
Taking Elizabeth’s blows off her effortlessly, he kicked her relentlessly and then slashed her fists. Receiving it, Elizabeth lowers her sword and she strikes him with his huge body and throws it to the ground.
The old man, who rolled on the floor with a fall and used a lower cut, smiled as Elizabeth ran away.
“Hasn’t my granddaughter’s skills improved quite a bit?”
“That’s right.”
“Huh-huh. The future of the Taylor family is bright. How is it? Do you have any plans to come to our family yet? Oh, of course, Miss Choa. You can come too.”
“Ha ha ha…”
I’m a little stung. But that’s something to deal with later. For now, let’s just get over it with a smile.
Perhaps breath was something he had just said once, and he didn’t recommend it anymore.
“Then let’s have a meal soon!!”
As I went inside and headed toward the dining room, I smelled good. Bishop Peter was leisurely preparing the dish.
“Okay. Then listen while you eat. Now there are only two left. I believe there will be demons in the next area.”
Old man Breath took a bite of the stew at the table and said. He recalls the characteristics of the district bosses he saw when he entered the black dungeon. There were two devil symbols at the end.
“Why two?”
From nob le mt l. co m
No one gave a clear answer to Jin Si-yeon’s question. That’s because it’s uncharted territory from now on.
“Well. Maybe it means that after fighting the demon, the demon runs away and returns to its true form.”
“Maybe there are two demons.”
To be precise, the first demon you meet is subordinate to the owner of this dungeon. Of course, being subordinate doesn’t mean you’re weak, so you can’t be relieved.
“Judging by the pattern, we Catholics judge it to be Baphomet.”
“Oh. Do you know something?”
Bishop Peter nodded his head. The information is certain, perhaps because they are Catholics who regard the devil as their main enemy.
As he said, the owner of the black dungeon is Baphomet, a powerful demon with the head of a goat and the wings of a bat.
“It won’t be easy. He’s mighty, but he’s a man of evil wiles… And he’s also a man of subordinates.”
“Having underlings… Like a splitting slime?”
“Isn’t that right? hahahahaha…”
Bishop Peter burst into a dry laugh, but no one sympathized with his laugh. It was because it was difficult to fight the dividing slime.
Feeling that the atmosphere had become awkward, he shook his head.
“The demons that Baphomet can control are those who belonged to the Templars in the past. There is a story that he corrupted them and turned them into demons. They sacrificed their hearts to become Baphomet’s subordinates, and as a result, they gained immense power. I could become the devil I had.”
“Oops?! So they don’t have a heart?”
“Yes. Their souls and their lives. Just as all of them are in Baphomet’s hands, Baphomet holds the heart as well.”
Elizabeth let out a small sigh of regret. She does, but if she is, she deserves it.
“Anyway, it seems that you can summon subordinates. So, is it highly likely that the enemy in front of you is also a demon, one of Baphomet’s subordinates?”
“Probably so. At least they are not of the same class. Demons basically have no sense of kinship. If the opponent is weaker than they are, they will dominate it, and if they are stronger, they will bend them. They exist strictly according to the logic of the law of the jungle….”
His explanation that demons of the same grade cannot exist in the same dungeon was correct.
Yes. The boss of the next area is Devil Knight, a fallen paladin who is a subordinate of Baphomet.
In terms of rank, it is a powerful enemy that is almost the most difficult in class A, and it is also the one who summons the black knights of class B.
“Do you know something relative?”
“Knight-type demons have no choice but to press down with force. Of course, it might be easier if you activate Sanctuary.”
“I see. Then there is no particular problem… Is there anyone who has problems catching demons?”
Laughing mischievously, Old Man Breath inhaled the stew and asked.
Elizabeth’s optimistic appearance may resemble that of Old Man Breath.
Showing the composure to make the surroundings comfortable, he said as he put the finished stew bowl in the sink.
“If we do well, we might be able to finish clearing the black dungeon within two or three days. It will be difficult for everyone, but just hold on a little longer. Maybe we can…”
After being silent for a while, he looked around at everyone and spoke seriously.
“It might be the hope of mankind.”
I was in charge of washing the dishes. Others have offered to help, but everyone needs to train a little more. It’s me, I can practice my skills while washing dishes, so there’s no problem.
As I was washing so many dishes and utensils, I heard a calm voice behind me.
“Brother Yohan Kim.”
“Yes?”
It was Bishop Peter. He looked at me with a warm smile and said calmly as he poured the coffee he had just brewed into a mug.
“Do you know anything about how to deal with demons?”
“Yes? hahahaha. Why all of a sudden…”
“I heard that you studied a lot, especially that you wanted to become a theologian…”
“hahahaha… How did you hear about that…”
“Because the academy also has Catholic eyes. To be honest, I heard it from Sister Serenia.”
“Aha. Yes. I did a lot of preparation.”
“In the end, I didn’t become a theologian, but I’m really fortunate to be doing good according to the Lord’s will.”
He smiled softly, took a sip of coffee, and then spoke seriously.
“If you could walk the path of a theologian again… What would you do?”
“Um. Is that an offer to sign for the Vatican?”
“Yes. The orphanage where Brother John lived is also Catholic, so I don’t think you will feel repulsed by Catholicism. If you come to the Vatican, I’ll let you walk the path of a theologian. Of course… Act as a hero. I would be grateful if you could do the same.”
It wasn’t a bad offer, but it was also too late. Now, I have no intention of walking the path of a theologian again.
“I see.”
I laughed and shook my head, and the bishop smiled and nodded slightly. He drank a sip of coffee with a smile that seemed to have a little bit of regret remaining, and looked at me with a calm gaze and asked.
“Even though the kite didn’t reach me, I hope the Lord’s will be with you.”
I guess it was just a recruitment offer. Seeing him leave, I finished washing the dishes. As I was about to wash the dishes and put them in the cupboard, I heard a voice full of brusqueness.
“Have you completely given up on being a theologian?”
“Hmm. Well, that’s right.”
I didn’t even have to turn my head. Because the owner of this voice knew.
Joo Sae-hee. The woman who knew my childhood was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth.
“I see…Then do your best. Knowing what you have to do is the most important thing.”
What is it? Are you here to say that? When I turned her head, she was heading towards the garden with her spear in hand. She and she start sparring with the couple Il-Wol-Yeong in the garden.
It’s bland.
“John! The deal starts now!!”
After washing all the dishes and cleaning the surroundings, I heard Yoo Choa’s cry when I came down. Are you leaving? Then i have to go
When I went outside the mansion, there were people waiting for me after they were ready. After joining them, I looked at the mansion and then turned around. There is no time to look back now. It’s not enough to just look ahead and move forward.
Sure.
Don’t hesitate, let’s go.
After coming out of the scroll, we explored unknown territory. Fortunately, there were not many monsters and traps. I’m really glad. Because I didn’t waste my stamina unnecessarily.
As we moved along the way, Bishop Peter’s footsteps stopped.
“…It’s an evil energy.”
Because he is a priest, he can feel it. Everyone walked nervously at his serious voice.
The smell of sulfur intensifies. It must be that there is such a powerful demon.
“…I’ve fought demons outside before… But never this bad.”
Manlyek’s low voice contained a lot of tension.
We took one step at a time in a serious atmosphere that made even a skilled warrior nervous.
And I found it.
– Welcome back.
A gigantic knight in jet-black armor. The guy stared at us with the red eyes shining on the inside of the helmet and spoke to us with a voice like grinding stones.
– You are offering your hearts to our master. Ruler. Be happy to accept This is a blessing for you. When the living envy the dead. You will become the master’s servants and move towards the world.
Ha.
The living will envy the dead…
Do you think I’ll wait for a bad ending like that?
