“There is an imbalance of mana flowing at the destination, so it can shake a little. Are you all ready?”
Charon entered the warp room for the last time and explained it to everyone.
“yes. Let’s go.”
“All right.”
As Charon stomped his feet while reciting a spell, the world changed in an instant as the feeling of an elevator rising. In the warp room, which was all white, we arrived at a place where only rocks and weeds could be seen.
“The entrance to the dungeon is in the back.”
Turning around at Charon’s words, I saw the entrance to the dungeon. It was definitely a dungeon with ten pillars and a triangular roof that looked like a famous Greek temple.
“wow…”
“Awesome.”
“That’s the entrance to the dungeon.”
When Clyde and Brica saw the entrance to the dungeon, which was larger than expected, they completely froze. Rodien closed his eyes as if he felt the scent of mana coming out of the dungeon and tried to understand the flow.
“Hey Yuren?”
Rodien opened his eyes and quietly called my name. I followed her back a bit. The curtain was opened to prevent the escape of the voice.
“Please speak.”
“If I’m not mistaken, I can feel the scent of our species in there.”
“Is that true?”
“yes. I don’t know if it’s the elf himself or if it’s a relic he left behind.”
I pretended not to know to Rodien, but of course I knew what was inside. There are two paths inside the dungeon, one of which is accessible, but the door at the end is only open to elves.
The reason Rodien was brought here was to enter the elf’s room at the end of the road.
“All right. For now, let’s do what only we know.”
“yes. all right.”
Rodien smiled and nodded. I went back to where everyone was gathered.
“I will enter the dungeon soon. This is your last chance to replenish, so check your equipment, food, and supplies.”
“yes!”
“yes!”
“I will go to the entrance for a while.”
After instructing everyone to check their equipment and supplies, he headed towards the entrance of the dungeon alone. Of the 10 stone statues at the entrance, 4 were broken, and 6 were intact.
“You haven’t entered yet.”
If the imperial expedition had arrived, all of these statues would have been shattered. Because they can’t let them go.
The four broken stone statues must have been broken by the knights who scouted here.
“I’ll have to wait a while.”
I went back to the place where the party was and heard that there was nothing wrong with everyone. He waited a bit without going into the dungeon because he had something to check with the imperial expedition team.
Hwaaak!
An hour or so passed, and many people appeared right in front of the building with an intense light.
“They are the knights and wizards of the Empire.”
Charon, who was the first to recognize that they were an imperial expedition, opened his mouth. As he said, the imperial falcon was engraved on the armor of the knights, and the hawk was also embroidered on the robes of the wizards.
Some of them looked like mercenaries. In the eyes of the creator, he was a treasure hunter with exceptional abilities.
“The Empire has quite a few knights and wizards. It seems there are mercenaries.”
Cryde counted, then swallowed. Certainly, the number of knights alone exceeded 20, and there were also 3 wizards.
“How important are the numbers? Aren’t we a hundred per diem!”
Contrary to Clyde, Brica was showing a confident expression, asking why numbers mattered.
It’s funny how the two have opposite personalities and opposite characteristics. Cryde, a Berserker, is usually timid, and Brecca, a guardian, usually lives without thinking.
“Whoops.”
It was funny that the two’s personalities and characteristics were opposite, so I laughed.
“Brica is right. Numbers don’t matter. You just have to do what you have to do.”
“you’re right. Lord Yuren!”
“All right!”
Everyone nodded their heads looking at the imperial exploration team as if agreeing with me.
“hmm?”
A young man in the middle of the imperial expedition spotted us and started walking.
He was a man with orange hair, sharp features, and the momentum of a heavy sword. It was fortunate that this man came, just like in the original story.
“The kingdom of Krasis.”
“Is that an empire?”
When I copied the man’s mannerisms, he smiled lightly rather than being offended. He reacts like that because he is confident in his own abilities.
“Fufu, excuse me. I am Zeke Scion of the Marquis of Scion of the Empire.”
“I’m sorry too. Urren Rox of the Marquess of Rox.”
“hmm? Viscount Yuren Rocks?”
“exactly.”
Upon hearing my name, Zeke Scion’s eyes widened. You seem to know about me. I also opened my eyes to properly check.
[Activates Creator’s Eye.]
[Name: Zeke Scion]
[Characteristics: Flame Sword (炎劍), Fire Attribute Enhancement lv4, Strong Sword lv3, Powerful Body]
[Likeability: 18 (Interest) ]
[Current Mood: Feeling pleasure. ]
The Imperial Scion Marquess family, which appeared when you asked Rackard for the location of Carbol’s swordsmanship in the past, is the family of Zeke in front of you.
Scion’s lineage is characterized by having a fire attribute aura and producing great destructive power, and among them, Zeke is a knight who inherits a lot of that power and uses a powerful flame sword.
“I heard you were injured, are you okay now?”
“I am cured now.”
I think Zeke knew I was hurt too. After examining my body, I opened my mouth.
“I’m so glad.”
Although he said he was glad, Zeke’s expression was far from worrying. It looked like a beast was looking at me like it was preying on me.
“Seeing the person I most wanted to meet in a place like this, I think this is the fate.”
“Did you say you missed it?”
“exactly.”
Zeke looked around and smiled broadly, as if he was in a really good mood.
“I’ve never heard of the name Urren Rocks for catching a Shakry King. At the time, it was a monster I wanted to catch, so I ended up thinking it was a pity.”
Shakry King is quite a long time ago. It seems that Zeke heard my name from then on.
“Even after that, news of you continued to come. I heard that you captured a Sea Serpent, before that an Orc fighter, recently a Lizardman King, and recently I heard you captured a Rebellion alone.”
Zeke knew everything I caught. Even in the original work, Zeke felt a sense of rivalry with the main character, but it was not to this extent. I feel like I’ve become a fan of mine.
“Whoops…”
If there were no people watching, Zeke was exuding the momentum that would have prompted him to fight right away.
“You seem to be interested in me.”
“I didn’t tell you. I missed you the most.”
“Captain.”
As Zeke and I were staring into each other’s eyes, a knight in brown armor approached from behind him.
“Now it is time to go in.”
“i get it. Go to the entrance first.”
“yes.”
I glanced at the knight in brown armor who was returning after receiving Zeke’s instructions.
From noble mtl dot com
Also, this guy came.
This dungeon exploration wasn’t just a competition between the Empire and the Kingdom of Krasis. The Black Sword, which uses the most destructive and destructive sword among Sephiroth’s swordsmen, had infiltrated the imperial expedition.
The black sword was infiltrating the dungeon to collect the rewards for itself and to separate Krasis and the Empire, and I came here to stop it and collect the rewards.
[Setting of the Vivid Hound has been completed.]
I immediately used the settings of the Vivid Hound on the black sword.
“Iokal said he wouldn’t come. I hope there will be a friendly competition in the dungeon.”
“Of course.”
As Zeke said that, he held out his hand to me. I also reached out and took his hand. After waving his hand a few times, Zeke nodded slightly and went back to where the expedition was.
“Then we can proceed as planned.”
There are two paths in the dungeon. I think you can go to the elf’s room first and get the reward, then head to the knight’s room to block the black sword and collect the reward.
I decided to move in a different direction from the original work, taking care of all the treasures and handling the black sword.
“Yuren. The Empire is heading towards the entrance.”
“Let’s go too.”
“yes!”
The imperial knights were smashing the stone statues guarding the entrance in front of them with blunt weapons.
Stone statues are monsters that have a core inside their bodies like golems, so it is more effective to destroy them with a weapon that has a wider range of impact than a sword. The empire seems to have been thinking about the stone statue’s attack while scouting.
“Shouldn’t we be involved too?”
Cryde put his hand on his waist and opened his mouth.
“no. Stay still.”
“yes?”
“I’m giving you the road, so what are you doing? If you catch them all, you can follow them right away.”
“As expected, you are the lord!”
Cryde gave a puzzled look, and Brica clapped in agreement with my move.
“hmm…”
Zeke, who grabbed all the statues, turned around and shot intense eyes at me before going inside. It was like a provocation to follow quickly.
After watching the imperial exploration team all enter, we also stood in front of the entrance. The light from the entrance made it impossible to see what was inside.
“The moment you enter the entrance, the place will change. Everyone, don’t relax.”
“yes!”
After warning everyone, I entered the entrance first.
Whoops.
It felt like the ground was sinking, and I felt like my body was falling endlessly. The moment I tried to be on guard, not knowing what was going to happen, I felt my feet touch the ground.
Dozens of pillars were erected on both sides of the huge room, and stone statues of soldiers were erected in front of the pillars.
The soft light coming down from the ceiling raised the three-dimensional effect of the stone statues, but the stone statues did not move. These statues were just ordinary statues.
There were two doors in the front of the room. There was a stone statue of a knight holding a sword on the left, and a stone statue of an archer holding a bow on the right.
“hmm…”
Zeke and the Imperial Exploration Team were agonizing in front of him. He turned around and looked at me and asked a question.
“Where will Viscount Yuren go?”
“I will go to the stone statue of the knight.”
“exactly?”
bang!
Zeke smiled provocatively and immediately kicked open the door with the statue of the knight.
“I will be waiting for you inside. Don’t even think about running away. Whoops.”
After saying that, Zeke went right inside, and the expedition team behind him glared at me and then went inside.
“Those children! If you dare to glare at Yuren-sama, should I slit your throat?”
“Brica. Refrain from such foul language! Yuren. Shouldn’t we go in quickly too!”
Cryde restrained Brica and opened her mouth in an urgent voice.
“You don’t have to cut your throat, and you don’t have to go over there.”
“yes?”
“We are going to the place where the stone statue of the archer is.”
“Are you running away?”
Brica said while glaring at the door where the stone statue of the knight was.
“escape? What nonsense.”
“yes? If not…”
“We can first go to the path of the archer and collect the reward there, then comfortably walk the path of the knight that the empire has pierced hard, and claim the reward at the end. I have no intention of handing over anything in this dungeon to the Empire.”
“As expected, it’s Yuren-sama!”
“Viscount Yuren. Wouldn’t the empire be faster? I know Zeke Scion as a swordsman who has almost reached mastery. It should not be ignored.”
As if worried about Karon, he stroked his chin and opened his mouth.
“It’s not about ignoring it. I was just stating a simple fact.”
“If it’s true…”
“We have the best guides. If you just follow him, this kind of dungeon exploration will be over in an instant.”
Saying that, he pulled out the bag he was playing with in his pocket.
“Buck?”
“It’s time to pay for a meal after a long time. Backnavy.”
Stone Dungeon (3)
“Buck.”
He put the jacket on his shoulder and stood in front of the door next to the archer’s stone statue. When I put my hand on the door, it opened by itself as if it were an automatic door.
It was dark inside, but a green light was coming down from the ceiling, so there was no difficulty in seeing ahead. However, the color of the light was green, so I felt a little grotesque.
“let’s go.”
“yes!”
The road stretched straight and looked like a hallway in a mansion, but as you went deeper, the width of the road widened and bushes and trees began to appear.
There were more and more trees and bushes, and I felt like I was in a forest. The road that I could see on the floor was also gone, so I couldn’t even figure out where to go.
“What is this…”
“How can a forest like this come out?”
Cryde and Brica, taken aback by being surrounded by trees in an instant, looked around with dazed faces.
“Everybody calm down.”
He reassured everyone with a calm voice and let go of his shoulder blades.
“let’s go.”
“Bap!”
After turning around the neighborhood, Paekbaek-i slowly flew westward without even thinking about it.
“Yuren.”
“yes?”
Karon called me with a confused expression.
“That bird over there…”
“It is dense.”
“Ah yes. densely. Are you really trusting only words and deciding the path?”
“I know you are worried. But just believe it. Why don’t you just pick a place to go anyway?”
“It is, but, um, I see.”
Since I was the only one who knew the characteristics of Bukbaekgi’s long hair, Charon’s worries were natural. Rather, Arin, Creed, and Brika, who believe in me and follow me without saying anything, are amazing guys.
“Let everyone follow.”
It moved westward along the densely packed road. As we went further, the grass began to grow thicker and the smell of grass became thicker.
Wheein.
“Bap!”
It must have been about 20 minutes since I moved along the densely packed road that a cool breeze that I had never felt before blew.
“This wind…”
When I looked at Rodien, she made eye contact and nodded.
It means the power of the spirit.
The wind that just blew didn’t come naturally, it came from the power of the wind spirit.
“good job.”
