Episode 56. Kali (2)
One of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Druid, Kali.
I finally meet again with the guy I’ve wanted to see so much.
From Noble mtl dot com
“The shortcut is opening, dude.”
-Uh huh?!!!-
You probably didn’t know that they would cut a hole in the wall and come directly to the last room.
It was a perfect surprise attack.
He immediately jumps down with his sword drawn and prepares to strike.
‘Is that where the weak spot is?’
The characteristic weakness point is activated and Kali’s weaknesses come into view.
The body of a spider hanging below the upper body of a woman.
The venom sac inside is the vital point.
-aaah!-
Boom!
Unfortunately, because Kali quickly rolled away and ran away, he was unable to hit her vital point.
Even though it was a surprise attack, the reflex speed was quite fast.
In particular, you need to be careful because that spider has a lot of legs and is so fast that it is difficult to follow it with your eyes.
“Alicia, don’t come down, take cover from above.”
“Yes, yes!”
Alicia’s voice, which had been scared all along, comes to life.
Soon, Mijeong jumps down and lands lightly.
“Here.”
“······Yes.”
If you hand over Blynn’s wooden club (reinforcement +1) to Mijeong, you are ready to fight.
However, the surprise effect seems to have disappeared, and Kali’s expression gradually becomes more relaxed.
-Ha·······················································!-
Isn’t it?
Have I gone crazy?
-I thought they were bluffing when I heard that Belphegor had a hard time! I thought there was no way such a strong human race existed! I’m looking forward to this!-
“Okay, thank you.”
It looks like he lost his mind.
I saw her smiling and laughing so well that she didn’t even know the future.
Let’s go quickly.
The dungeon’s owner is Kali, so the longer the fight goes on, the more disadvantaged we are.
The moment she exchanged a look with Mijeong and stepped in front of her.
-Please accept my welcome!-
“Oops!”
Crispy! Crispy!
The cocoons on the wall break, and small spiders pop out from inside.
A real scene where man-eating spiders that feed on humans come rushing in from all directions like waves.
Just when I thought this was a mess.
Good luck!
-Oh?!-
A flame burns in the air.
At the same time, embers spread in all directions.
Embers spread to the floor, creating a ring of fire.
“Keeek!”
“Ugh! Ugh!”
The waves of spiders rushing in catch fire, and the flames spread.
A scream so loud that it seems as if your ears will fall.
But that’s only for a moment.
The screaming stopped.
The spiders quickly become completely black and completely destroyed.
The flame, which has now grown to the size of a human being, flickers and takes on the form of a spirit.
I was dumbfounded and checked the magic stone, but the red light had completely disappeared.
Ifrit, this bastard…
-You did a good job of hiding an egg under the sacred tree. On the topic of bugs-
-What, what…! Bugs!-
Great Spirit of Fire.
Ifrit finally escaped from the magic stone.
In fact, I have been most wary of this situation.
If Ifrit were to be released, it would have been a world of trouble and he would have tried to burn it all down.
But it is a different story if he is released from inside the dungeon.
If there is a limited amount of things to burn, there is no need to burn the World Tree.
Ifrit must also be fully aware of the situation.
He would have quickly understood that all he had to do was burn Kali and the situation would be resolved.
-A human being with no hair. In my heart, I want to burn you first, but… The situation is urgent, so let’s kill the bugs first and then talk about it.
“Good idea.”
Ifrit becomes our ally here.
Suddenly, the power increased again.
The Great Spirit of Fire joins the front line.
For me, one of the highest grade magic stones has returned to its original state.
-Now, wait a minute! How about we have a chat? Huh? Children…-
-Shut up-
Alicia provides cover with magic on the ceiling.
On the ground, Ifrit perfectly kills miscellaneous mobs with fire.
And then Mijeong and I approach from both sides, cornering Kali and beating her up.
As if she knew that, Kali’s face lost its composure and gradually turned pale.
However, you must not let down your guard.
Just like with Belphegor, it is impossible to know which random characteristics he may have consumed.
-Kaaak! Kaaak!-
Carly is cornered and begins to struggle.
The moment it opens its mouth, a net made of spider webs comes out.
Luckily, Mijeong seems to have dodged it by swinging and jumping.
“Oh! Mr.!”
I ended up covering myself with the net.
I thought it would be cut if I cut it with a sword.
But it was so strong that it didn’t get cut.
In the end, he was caught in the net and thrown backwards, and was only able to get out of the net after sawing it with his sword blade.
-Starting with the most dangerous child! If you kill me, Draken will be safe!
Sasasasak.
Kali’s huge body moves quickly and comes towards us.
Zigzag to avoid the flames emitted by Ifrit and the wind magic shot from the ceiling.
-You should at least kill me…!-
“Why? Did you think it would be worth it if we fought one-on-one?”
The moment a sharp spider leg came running and hit my head.
Carly’s eyes widen.
Because I was no longer where the spider’s leg landed.
Before I know it, I am passing under her body, passing her, her Kali.
-Oh?!-
With a thud, Kali’s body falls forward.
The result of breaking through the speed of sound with Dacian type 0 herbivory.
It went far beyond Kali’s reaction speed and cut off her front leg.
-What happened? Didn’t you see it? Why? How can a human child?!-
Certainly Kali is fast.
Befitting its spider concept, it is actually a boss mob that is obsessed with speed.
It’s designed so that even if you meet in the mid to late game, you won’t be able to catch up with the speed.
Now, we are facing Kali at an early stage when we should not have met her, and she is overwhelming us with speed.
Tei’s magic stone has already surpassed the high-end level.
On top of that, as a guardian knight, the stats are multiplied by 5 times.
As a result of learning magic, it was a natural result since I was able to control my magic power, which I had become more adept at while training.
At least until the magic power runs out.
Until then, you can dominate Kali in all stats.
-Fast? And strong? Than me…?-
Capturing the topic quickly.
Perhaps she realized that she had no chance of winning, and Kali lost her leg and started limping further and further backwards.
Then, in an instant, Kali tried to escape from me and run away.
-Rabbit! Blow the wind!-
“I understand, Great Spirit!”
However, Ifrit’s unquenchable flame burns, and Alicia’s wind spreads it, instantly creating a curtain of fire.
The entrance to the room is engulfed in flames.
The escape route was blocked.
Good luck!
Furthermore, the flames rise once again from the other side.
This time, a curtain is drawn behind me.
A wall of fire surrounds the entire area.
Now it’s just me and Kali inside.
“Is this an intimate date?”
-No! I hate it!-
Now that I know that I have a huge advantage over Kali, I have an advantage in a one-on-one fight.
Others are just a hindrance.
I liked Alicia’s sense.
“Try to struggle until the end. Let’s see how long you can endure.”
-I don’t want to die! I can’t die in vain like this! I don’t have the honor to meet Mr. Draken!-
But this guy seems to be a little too scared.
He gets so scared that he panics and repeatedly retreats.
My body starts shaking as if a vibration notification has arrived.
A spider’s web is leaking from behind.
Then Kali immediately flinched and then jumped up…
-You have to take Comrade Gil with you!-
“Hey!!!”
Instead of running towards me, it flies in the other direction.
Kali passes through the curtain of fire and runs with an unquenchable fire burning all over her body.
The direction Kali is heading towards is none other than Mijung.
-As disappointing as it is, this child! Even this child!-
“······!”
But just because it is undecided does not mean it is an easy opponent.
Carly swings her burning leg here and there, but Mijeong, who is small and agile, is only able to avoid it.
I’m glad that Mi-jeong was attracted to Aggro.
If I had climbed up the ceiling and reached Alicia, she would have died.
Soon, thanks to Ifrit turning off the light, the road opens again.
I run to save Mijeong.
“Mijung?”
“······.”
Mijeong suddenly looks at me, and he stops in place.
What are you doing?
You should avoid it.
An ominous energy is coming.
“······Promise.”
“What? What are you doing-“
Ting.
Mijeong takes the ring off her finger and throws her ring at me.
What on earth is that doing?
Just when I was about to get angry.
-Heavenly Armor Plate!-
Grumbling.
A wall suddenly rises around Kali and Mijeong.
Carly and Mijeong disappeared inside the wall of the sphere that appeared in an instant.
Kaang!
I tried to stab the sword in, but the blade just shattered.
There is no flaw in the sphere.
It’s the same even if you stick your fist in.
My finger bones cracked and I was thrown back onto the road.
“No way…”
Heavenly Armor Plate.
It is a characteristic that creates an area that deflects all external shocks.
If that is the Heavenly Armor Plate, it is impossible to destroy it no matter how much strength is poured into it.
“Great Spirit! Shoot!”
-I’m shooting! Damn you rabbit!-
Even though it is exposed to fierce flames and gusts of wind, the sphere remains in place without flinching.
With Mijeong and Kali trapped inside.
Suddenly, the ring that fell on the floor caught my eye and I remembered what I had said to Mijeong before.
If you feel like you’re going to die, take off the ring and die.
That’s more expensive than your life.
“Hey, f*ck…!”
When I came to my senses.
I was hitting the sphere without realizing that my fingers were breaking and my feet were breaking.
***
I received the name Unjeong.
I lived a life that was too much for me.
I was the one who went out to pick flowers and was bitten by a wild dog with red eyes, and returned to the village and brought the plague with me.
I am the one who ruined the peaceful village.
I was the one who turned the village into a living hell.
When I came to my senses, the entire village was engulfed in fire.
Screams were heard everywhere.
Everyone’s red eyes were shining and they were eating other people.
At that time, I was afraid that I was the only one who was sane.
I saw blood on my hands and mouth, and my family members lying on the ground covered in blood.
A shocking reality was suddenly thrust before my eyes.
I couldn’t believe this was what I did.
So instead of accepting reality.
I decided to separate the mind from reality.
I forgot how to speak, and I forgot how to think.
I lost my emotions.
I didn’t want to live anymore.
A moving corpse that cannot die and just wanders around the mountains.
It was just that.
Not long after, I was captured by a slave trader.
I couldn’t sell it even after 10 years.
Someone who wants me like that has appeared.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘I really want a guy who is of no use to anyone and whose price is ridiculously cheap.’
‘Ahahahahaha. This is my first time seeing a customer like this. Come over here.’
Eugene.
He was a strange person.
If you buy an empty can like mine, you don’t expect anything from it.
They just follow behind.
Sometimes they just suck some blood.
The attitude of treating things as if they were real objects made me feel at ease.
Eujin’s touch was soft and warm, perhaps because he treasured things.
My frozen heart slowly began to thaw.
Now I want to look straight at the reality that I didn’t want to see or hear anything about.
The lost feelings began to return.
On the topic of already dead bodies.
On the topic of a murderer who killed his family with his own hands.
I ended up having the courage to live again.
I felt like I could stand up again if I was with Eugene.
But in the end, that is just wishful thinking.
Things are bound to break someday.
Really, I lived a life that was too much for me.
-Ahahahaha! Aha, ahahahaha!!!-
“······.”
A closed space on all sides.
My whole body is on fire and my skin is melting.
The spider woman in front of me continued to laugh as if she had lost her mind.
-I am one of the Four Heavenly Kings! What a shame to be on the same level as this blood demon!-
Is there any death more valuable than sacrificing yourself on behalf of Eugene?
He is the person who warmly embraced me and brought me back to life, even though I was practically a dead corpse.
Thanks to Eugene, I was revived, so I must use my life for Eugene.
I’ve always thought that way, and I feel relieved that I can actually make this sacrifice.
-Still, it seems like the human child values you very much!-
“······Wrong, uh. Mijeong is an object. Eugene values me. Don’t.”
-Is that really the case? Ahahahahaha!-
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
For Eugene, I am just an object of little use.
Even if I die, Eugene will not shed a single tear.
You’ll end up regretting it, thinking you were unlucky.
It was a cheap price to pay for catching this powerful monster.
Eujin will definitely think so.
And that is absolutely true.
I’m glad it’s me instead of other precious lives.
I’m so glad I could die.
It was the moment I was thinking that.
-I’m worried! How should I kill you so that the human child will suffer even more! First of all, let’s start with the limbs… Oh?!-
Wow!
With a clear sound like glass breaking.
A bright light pours down from behind.
I turned around in surprise.
“······Eugene?”
“Don’t touch my things.”
It was Eugene.
Yujin was standing there with a more angry face than ever.
Don’t be tsundere about her from now on
