Episode 21.
Bread and water came out after catching a monster, what the hell is this?
“Shall we eat first?”
I couldn’t even eat properly because I was in a hurry.
It was a little uncomfortable because it was food dropped by monsters, but the hunger was bigger than that.
I took a bite of bread and asked.
“Are you better than expected?”
It was dry bread and lukewarm water.
It was just ordinary, ordinary taste itself.
I’m glad.
“Even if it takes a little longer, I won’t starve to death.”
I suddenly thought that something might be watching me.
It was at this point that I had no choice but to doubt the food.
“Actually, this floor has a system that collapses the cave once you enter it.”
It didn’t collapse because I threw the mana bomb, it collapsed because I came here.
So, unlike other floors, this place gives you food when you catch a monster.
It’s a hypothesis I thought of, but it was so absurd that I laughed.
“It can’t be.”
It was an absurd guess.
After I finished eating the bread, I realized that something had changed around me.
“Has it gotten a little dark?”
The movement of the trolls was also suspicious. Slower and slower, lower posture.
Soon all the trolls fell down. As if trying to fall asleep.
“You’re going to sleep because it’s dark?”
I’ve been here twice, but it’s never been dark. It wasn’t the first time.
It was a series of surprises.
‘for a moment… Is that so?’
Could I be able to do the same as Geomseong did?
Hiding in the dark and cutting the throats of unresisting trolls.
“hehehehe, that was good.”
I approached the troll as quietly as possible.
The moment he tried to catch the sleeping troll.
The troll awoke.
“damn.”
The awakened troll quickly ran away before it found me.
How did the troll find out?
“I’ve also eliminated as many signs as possible.”
Could it be that it just wakes up when an attack is detected?
Just in case, I picked up a rock on the floor and threw it at the sleeping troll.

No response.
“then… .”
He filled a stone with mana and threw it between the troll’s forehead with maximum force.
If hit properly, the troll will take great damage.
The troll got up before the boulder flew at high speed and reached the troll.
The stone broke as it hit the rising troll.
“Wow, it was real.”
It was certain that if it was recognized as an attack, it would rise immediately.
“Then, I should sleep when the trolls sleep, right?”
Come to think of it, isn’t that a good thing?
If you catch a troll, you get food and a separate sleeping time is guaranteed.
These ruins… .
“It is a very kind ruin.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Now I have decided what to do.
Catch trolls to secure food, and challenge the boss only after you have grown a little more.
It’s simpler than you think.
I need to go to sleep first.
***
It’s already been a week since I was trapped in these ruins.
Trolls can now deal with up to five trolls at once.
We also gathered a lot of food.
I even found a room with a boss. Big door like last time.
but… .
“I can’t even try.”
The reason why the challenge was easily possible in the ruins so far is because the enemy was expected.
But trolls are completely unpredictable.
As far as I know, the only superior species of troll is the twin-headed troll, which has one more head than the normal troll.
However, it was a bit ambiguous to see that the twin-headed troll was a higher species of troll.
I can’t think of any relatives of trolls that only appear in legends.
“Isn’t it possible that there are no monsters guarding this room?”
Even after rolling the happiness circuit, the answer was fixed.
Obviously there will be Wouldn’t it be better to take a higher level than before and take on the challenge?
This would be the right choice.
“It was an advanced level before the regression, so it should be easy to reach.”
Let’s challenge when you reach the advanced level.
From this day on, I began to work hard to get higher grades while eating the food I had gathered.
However, I did not know at this time that the effort would take a month.
A month has passed. The reason it has been around for so long is simple.
“It wasn’t easy to become a senior.”
It was difficult to climb again even though it was clearly reached once.
Besides, maybe it’s because it’s a little hazy.
“Because the seeds of trolls do not dry… ”
In other words, I didn’t have to worry about eating.
In other words, there was no need to starve to death.
There was a lack of urgency.
“I’m glad I became a senior.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Now you can activate your snipe without difficulty.
“first of all… ”
I need to decide on a sword.
The jet-black sword and the sword my father bought me.
As expected, the main sword that my father bought me.
“Because I don’t know if that trump card will work for the monster.”
Such an attack would only work against humans.
All preparations for the challenge have been completed.
I opened the great door.
big-
I hear the door grinding to the ground.
The door opened, and I went inside.
He didn’t let go of the tension.
“It is bright.”
The light shines from the patterns engraved on the floor. And as far as I know, it will appear now.
“what… ?”
Small black masses flew and coalesced, then turned into a large mass.
And a mass that gradually becomes finer.
Eventually, I realized the identity of the mass.
“vampire… .”
More demons than monsters.
It depends on the title, but it was a difficult existence for me as a senior.
The first time I turned around and tried to run away.
“right!”
Come to think of it, the door closes by itself.
It seemed that I had to deal with the vampire without moving.
“No, I haven’t lost yet.”
That vampire probably won’t be as strong as the sword master.
I pointed my sword at the vampire.
The vampire sees me like that and laughs at me. I felt pretty bad.
“Yeah, that’s what I laughed at.”
First bread victory.
I’ll have to deal with it from the start.
Gathering energy, preparing a secret technique, stabbed at the vampire.
“… … ?”
The vampire lightly dodged it. Then he came right up to me and swung his long nails.
kang!
The swords collided with their claws, but the sound was similar to that of swords colliding with each other.
After exchanging several battles, I widened the distance.
I got minor wounds, but I also inflicted minor wounds.
“Wait a minute, that’s not it!”
The vampire’s wounds healed rapidly. like… .
“Are you a troll!”
uh. for a moment.
They have one thing in common: excellent resilience.
blue skin. Even vampires have pale blue skin.
“really?”
The superior species of those ugly trolls are vampires.
The situation was not understandable. Yes, the vampire’s appearance was very good. Unlike trolls.
I can’t answer you, but I did ask.
“Hey, are you related to trolls?”
The vampire’s expression crumpled. I feel bad.
“Looks right?”
“%@$@%!”
With a grotesque scream, the vampire rushed at it.
I swung the jet-black sword, a trump card.
The vampire hesitated for a moment, but didn’t care and rushed at me.
From the jet-black sword, thread and needle entered the vampire.
“What, are you avoiding it?”
The vampire noticed that something had come out of the jet-black sword.
However, as if he believed in his own resilience, he rushed forward without stopping.
And the moment the thread and needle attached to the pitch-black sword collided with the vampire.
“@$!%!@$!”
“what… ?”
An incomprehensible situation occurred. The vampire had been cut by the thread and started to burn.
“It’s not even a thread pulled taut, so it’s cut like that?”
Besides, the fire is burning. This sword must have been something great.
The burning vampire soon turned to ashes and disappeared.
Enter the reward room.
“Is this a reward?”
It was a necklace and a book. I tried on the necklace first.
From nob le mt l. co m
Nothing much happened. saw the book
“hmm… ?”
It was a diary written in ancient letters. It was clearly written in ancient letters, but I could understand the contents.
saw the necklace
“Is it because of this?”
Could it be that the necklace or the book had some kind of translation magic applied to it?
But as far as I know, I heard that translation magic is difficult in reality.
First, I decided to read the diary. It must have been a diary written by the creator of this ruin.
[He was born as a nobleman and passed on to the Demon Realm to fulfill his duties as a nobleman.]
Oh, it seems that the owner of the diary is a true nobleman.
[However, I fell into a trap and was fleetingly lost. We, who claimed to be hunters, became the prey.]
Perhaps, the scene I saw in my dream turned into a prey and ran away.
[Still, I was able to gather my strength and protect what I wanted. However, it suffered a lot of damage.]
I was worried about the aftermath of that dream, but fortunately, it seemed that I had overcome it.
[The demons will come over again someday. That’s why I leave my power to the next layer. Overcome my ordeal and please protect the world.]
what. What does this mean?
I do not like it. The demons are coming over, so why are they asking me to protect them?
will refuse
The diary never ended. I flipped through the back page again. On the back page, there is a brief summary of information.
“Ah, it wasn’t a pitch black sword, it was an exorcism sword.”
It is said to be poisonous to demons because its thread has a sacred energy.
That’s why the vampire was simply cut off.
“uh? this bead?”
Information about the beads obtained from the first floor of the ruins was written.
It was an elixir that was said to remove wastes accumulated in the body and widen the senses by eating it.
“I wasn’t eating anything this good.”
I’ll bring it to my mouth without a doubt.
And while looking at what was written for a while, I found a familiar name.
“Medlock?”
And I made a shocking discovery.
“You mean Medlock came from the Demon Realm?”
There was something more important than that.
“Eat the mind of a person who wears it for a long time? That appearance is comparable to that of a madman?”
They say it’s okay to get away from Medlock before reaching full madness. however.
“How did you deal with Medlock?”
Dave’s brother would know. But the person who sent the assassin to me was Millia. That means Milia’s mania is still the same.
Millia will have Medlock.
“And when you reach full madness, the door opens… ?”
What do you mean the door is open? Read more lines below. And I realized
I don’t have time to be so late. The clan was dangerous.
“Inviting demons, what kind of crazy thing is that?”
You must return to your family as soon as possible and deal with Medlock.
After receiving the delayed reward, I decided to proceed with the ruins again.
I decided not to worry about injuries from now on because I don’t have time.
“First of all, this.”
Beads in a box. I didn’t even know what to eat at first.
I looked at the journal and found out what this was.
An elixir that removes waste and raises spirits.
“Ohhh… ”
The freshness lingered in my mouth and passed down my throat.
I felt my mind clearer.
The waste… .
“Are you not coming?”
Just in case, I sniffed the sleeve.
“Oooh!”
A musty smell stung my nostrils. Apparently, the waste products in the body were excreted through sweat.
After taking the elixir, I headed downstairs.
And what greeted me downstairs was…
It was an ogre with green skin and a height of about 3m.
