158 – Unexpected Identity – 3
“I would have done enough. I’m tired, so I need to rest.”
Helga, who had cut five centipedes into 29 pieces, leaned against a nearby wall, limp.
Aside from saying that he was tired, his expression did not change from his usual appearance. It was unclear whether it was because he was really tired or simply to give his subordinates a reason to rest.
“What are you guys doing not resting?”
Seeing as he urged his subordinates to sit down, it was probably closer to the latter.
The rest of the knights also took their places one by one. She fluttered the chest of her bunny girl outfit to release heat, and she straightened her rabbit ears and rabbit tail.
They must have noticed Helga’s intentions, and above all, because their knight commander told them that they could rest as there would be no more reinforcements if the enemy came out here.
I was dubious when I first heard it, but looking back after things had progressed up to this point, the situation was frighteningly close.
I thought it was taken in front of a suitable cave, but it was actually in front of the Rune Dungeon, and it must have been familiar with the internal structure of the dungeon that I had never entered before, and it even foretold what kind of enemies would come out from where.
Did you mess with Yeongju? It was such a horrifying experience that the absurd delusion, Beyond awe, emotions close to astonishment rose rapidly.
Originally, even Helga would never have sat down in the middle of a dungeon, and the knights under his command would have stood guard, taking turns on their own, even if there was no order.
But now it was different. The whole situation was going exactly as their knight commander had told them, so the idea that it would be the same this time was established.
“Do you think this conquest is quite good?”
“It’s not quite, but it’s pretty good, isn’t it? The director told us to decide on the design. We chose it ourselves, but it shouldn’t end with a recipe.”
“Oh, right. Usually, the captain decides at will. Even when I was with the Golden Twilight Knights. I was really surprised when we said we had to decide this time.”
Above the heads of the chatting knights, pink rabbit ears pricked up. No one had any doubts as to why they could prick like real ears, even though they were obviously headbands.
If you wear a bunny ear headband, of course you have to be able to prick it. It was common sense.
While her subordinates chattered, Helga, who had inspected the chest of the conquest more closely, glanced at Nyx, suppressing the strange moan that almost popped out reflexively as her nipples were rubbed.
“Kee hee hee… … hee hee… … .”
Nyx continued to let out that grotesque laugh as he chopped up one of the centipede’s corpses.
Since the centipede had already been dead for a long time, it did not show any reaction even if its body was torn to pieces. Conversely, it also meant that the woman was mutilating the corpse to no avail.
While everyone was resting together, seeing him perform such a bizarre act alone, eyes naturally gathered. Nyx tore at the corpse, not paying attention to the stares staring at him.
A few knights frowned slightly.
There were times when I was able to get here in a few hours by teleportation, and I didn’t have any accidents when I was in the castle.
The fact that he finished with a slight frown without direct restraint was possible because his usual image was not so bad.
Nix got up only after disintegrating one of the centipede into a mass of pebbles. Then he trudged over to a nearby wall and leaned against it with his back against it.
Helga and the other knights all thought Nyx would tear apart the corpse of another centipede next to it, but it was unexpected.
Nix stood on his knees, his arms twitching. He tried to hug his knees, but he couldn’t because of his absurdly large breasts and his short body shape that was inversely proportional to them.
Nix, who had been fiddling around for a while, eventually gave up and instead of leaning against the wall, he lay on his side awkwardly. My right breast pressed against my left breast, slightly flattened by the weight.
“There, witch.”
“… … yes?”
Helga called to Nyx. Within seconds of lying down, Nyx, who had been dozing off, opened her eyes.
“I’m curious, but does that action have a meaning?”
The tip of Helga’s sword pointed at a mass of pebbles that had been a centipede monster not too long ago. The original had no shape left.
“what… … Whether it was for shamanistic meaning, or for the purpose of obtaining magic materials. something like that.”
“… … .”
Nyx, who had been staring at Helga after hearing that question, suddenly giggled and laughed.
“Kee hee hee. Doesn’t it mean anything?”
“… … yes?”
“Oh, to be precise, ‘here’ means nothing.”
“It doesn’t mean anything here, what do you mean?”
Nyx turned to face the wall, ignoring Helga’s question. It meant that I didn’t want to answer any more. Helga, who was staring at the back of her in disbelief, immediately lost interest and rested her chin on her knee.
At least, it was just to pass the time for no particular reason, but if you said it was just to pass the time, you’d come up with an answer that seemed appropriately plausible because it didn’t seem like anything. It was an obvious thing to see.
‘Captain, why would you want a woman like that… … .’
Such doubts arose for a moment, but Helga soon erased them with a small yawn. That person must have some intention.
As I thought about the leader, I also thought of the fact that I was fighting alone with the monsters guarding the Rune Dungeon below me.
When I said that, I thought it was a joke, but it wasn’t.
‘You must be doing well, well.’
I wasn’t particularly worried.
ㅡTeoong!
With the cheerful sound of metal repelling metal, my body was pushed back for a long time. He plunged the tip of his sword into the ground. Kwade deuk, the speed of the blade cutting through the ground slowed down.
Pulled out the wingless nightmare again. There was no time to linger here. As soon as he drew his sword, a centipede-shaped train rushed towards it, spewing black smoke through the chimney.
Or a train-shaped centipede.
Actually, either way it was a good thing. It’s enough that his appearance is so unpleasant that it makes one’s hair stand on end.
The centipede’s legs protruded from the wheels and slammed the nearby ground mercilessly toward it, its body undulating sideways.
The gaze fixed directly on me was still bizarre. The eyebrows were angry, but the pupils remained round. The corners of the mouth stretched out horizontally. Each body was unnatural.
Below the mouth, the headlights crackled like a lower jaw. I raised the wingless nightmare again. The charging pattern is correct, but this time it should be deflected rather than dodged.
The moment his headlights crossed in the middle, I swung my arms. The headlights that were about to gather in the middle blazed! It bounced to the side with a sharp sound.
At the same time, the trajectory of his charge twisted to the side. The head that was coming towards me snapped right in front of me. Like a train on a railroad with a switcher on it, his body passed me by.
He wielded a nightmare that lost his wings on his leg that looked like a centipede.
‘It’s terrible.’
It must have been a boring look in the rock centipede boss fight, but I don’t know why, but it was much more disgusting now. Watching this, it felt like something was crawling on my skin.
I tried to shake off that feeling and swung my sword. Around the time I hit the four cars, the blue locomotive centipede crawled across the floor with a crunching sound and slipped away.
Hold your stance and reduce battle fatigue. His head turned towards me again. A few words on the back end were lifted into the air. The leg hanging behind him rose sharply.
He lifted his hind legs like a scorpion, and slammed them down at me. I rolled and dodged it and burrowed inside.
‘No, is that a centipede?’
I thought it might be because I had to make a pattern only in the game, but it was absurd when I actually saw it.
What kind of centipede doesn’t raise its head joint as if it were a snake and look down at the enemy, or even swing its rear end upright like a scorpion?
Whether my head was confused or not, my body reacted. As I did in the game, I rolled twice, and my body was right in front of his head.
I was about to swing my sword reflexively, but I hesitated for a moment when I saw his eyes fixed on me again. I still couldn’t get used to it even though I’d seen it a few times.
I closed my mind and hit him on the head with a wingless nightmare. The tip of the blue knife grazed the man’s lower jaw.
ㅡPerong!
At that moment, a much more upbeat sound than usual was heard. The part of the lower jaw that I hit dented inside, and the sharp back of the back sank down and the body sagged.
I figured out what was going on. It was a condition called Groggy. You could see it if you consistently applied damage to the ‘vulnerable parts’ of some bosses.
It was a weakness that did not exist for humanoid bosses, and only existed for monster bosses. Monster-type bosses are virtually impossible to parry, so a similar countermeasure was set up in this way.
Of course, it wasn’t exactly the same as parrying.
In parrying, the damage is proportional to the opponent’s maximum HP and does not decrease with resistance, but after the groggy state, the damage is proportional to the caster’s attack power and reduced with resistance.
However, it was possible to inflict much greater damage than a normal normal hit, so I shouldn’t miss this opportunity. I stabbed the wingless nightmare vigorously into the hollow of its greyish head.
ㅡCheee!
As soon as I thrust my sword in, black steam erupted from the chimney on his head.
I pushed the wingless nightmare right up to the top of the cross guard and pushed it hard with my shoulder. The difference in physique between the two was put to shame, and he fell over to the side.
Dozens of pairs of legs flapped in the air. I drew my sword and widened the distance.
The guy who had been struggling on his legs for a while got up. Then he exhaled black steam and looked at me.
ㅡ Quad gain!
The head flipped 180 degrees.
The mouth was placed where the eyes were, and the eyes were placed where the mouth was. In a rush, the black jaundice of the pupils rotated together and turned towards me again.
Coal in the cargo hold fell down. At the same time, the range of black masturbation gradually increased. In contrast, the whites gradually decreased.
Finally, the whites of my eyes completely disappeared. I got goosebumps, but I was able to calm myself down when I realized why I had suddenly become like that.
It was clear that he had less than 5% health left. It was unmistakable to see that his legs were shaking.
Even in the disc, the moment his HP drops below 5%, the upper part of the head is shattered in half, making his movements extremely slow and taking all damage amplified. If you’ve come this far, you’ve almost got it.
If so, it means now is your chance.
I grabbed the wingless nightmare and pulled it by my right side. And prepared to use the special ability of the wingless nightmare with magical properties.
The blue color of the blade became even stronger. Even while I was doing this, the half-broken blue steam locomotive was staggering along with its face turned upside down, eyes dyed black.
The flickering headlights collided right in front of my eyebrows.

Gathering mana to the limit, he took his left hand off the handle and raised his right hand to shoulder height. The blade trembled and emitted a deep blue light.
Hey, I took a step. Then, he stretched his right arm forward. Using the wingless blade of the nightmare as a staff, a blue whirlwind was released.
The blue whirlwind that flew in a straight line hit the head of the blue train staggering towards me.
ㅡKwaji Jijik!
And, from the hit spot, it was completely replaced.
The blue whirlwind did not stop even after blowing off about 1/3 of his head. In that state, it burrowed into nearly half of the body, smashed even the node where the first cargo compartment was located, and then it was scattered into the air.
His legs trembled for a moment, then he sat down, unable to get up any longer. It seemed that he couldn’t stand it any longer since he ate half of his body.
The pupils that filled the whites of the eyes returned to normal. The corners of his half-remaining mouth rose back to his eyes, drawing a smile on his face.
However, the face was still turned upside down, so it appeared to be crying.
The blue steam locomotive returned with a smile on its face, and after a final puff of white smoke from its chimney, it came to a complete halt.
The damn little locomotive, no, the rock centipede boss fight was over. His body slowly began to disintegrate.
Inwardly, I prayed that this mod would be the last one, and approached the runestone that was emitting a soft green light.
