The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 136

136 – 130. Sub-protagonist, working-2

There were various things in the process of the founding of Holden Kingdom, but there was one fact that everyone said in unison.

If there hadn’t been Pelex, there would have been no founding of the country or even the Holden Dynasty.

One of the first King Holden’s companions was a prophet named Pelex.

As much as he has the title of a prophet, he not only has the power to see the future, but he also has the knowledge to deal with danger.

With such outstanding ability, Pelex assisted King Holden and devoted all his energy to the founding of the country.

However, he was born unwell and eventually passed away at a young age from an incurable disease.

Before he fell asleep, Pelex left two wills to the first king, Holden.

One was to establish an institution to train heroes on the site of the capital.

The other wish was to bury all of his belongings in a place not far from the hero training institute.

The first King Holden shed tears over the death of his precious friend and accepted his will.

Today’s Pelex Academy was built according to the will of a prophet.

And the legacy of Pelex, which was buried in the ground by the will, was turned into an off-topic dungeon one day.

As this fact was revealed by a grave robber, the kingdom was in an uproar.

The next generation of Holden kings dispatched knights to make sure there are no problems with the Pelex legacy.

No one has returned alive, and even a party of famous S-class adventurers has gone unnoticed.

In the end, the dungeon where the legacy was left was concealed so that it could not be accessed, and it was neglected for a very long time.

“That’s where we go.”

[It’s interesting because it’s a dungeon where the legacy of the prophet is asleep.]

“Do you know Pelex?”

[I’ve never seen it myself. I just remember that the first demon king was indignant at his strategy being destroyed and that the culprit was a prophet.]

“I see.”

The interest in Ah Dok-Choi has completely cooled down, but the story of the past is somewhat appealing.

King Holden, who was called the first warrior, the first demon king, the Four Beasts, and the prophet Felix.

I thought it would be interesting to see the stories they unfold.

However, since a considerable amount of time has passed since then, I can only guess by looking at the remnants they left behind.

[But will it be okay? It is to enter a dungeon that no other adventurer, let alone the knights of the kingdom, have been able to do.]

“That’s no problem at all. It’s a dungeon that Kang Jun-hyeok cleared in the original work, so he knows everything about dungeons. If it were me in the early days, it would be a difficult dungeon to overcome, but if it’s me now, I can go alone and fight with all the monsters in the dungeon and still have more!”

[If you say that, I’m afraid you’re serious.]

From noble mtl dot com

“That’s what it says. Anyway, that’s why it’s an easy dungeon for me. Don’t worry!”

[Um, but this body is somehow insecure.]

“I have a lot of worries.”

Jerky-! Kki-Ik-!

Opened the hatch to enter the basement.

The dungeon of Zira Pelex, where the heritage was buried, was in the form of an underground cave.

The road opened in many directions, and different monsters were waiting for each section.

You can ignore it and go straight to the depths, but the problem is that the barrier to enter the depths does not disappear, so subduing all monsters was the key.

In other words, it can be seen that it proceeds in a similar way to breaking the seal.

“Let’s go from the nearest place.”

Twoong-!

As soon as my feet touched the ground, the hatch I came in closed and locked.

An extreme dungeon that cannot be exited until it is cleared.

Because only Prach and I were isolated. Frach polymorphed into a woman.

“I need to finish it quickly and go.”

“Be careful not to end up in a bad way by rushing.”

“Yeah.”

The first section is the ‘garden in full bloom’.

At first glance, it was a beautiful flower field covered with thousands of flowers, but inside it was mixed with Acid Nepenthes, known as a man-eating plant.

A monster that normally disguises itself as a flower, but when a human approaches, it exposes its teeth and emits acid.

It has been said that the acidic fluid is strong enough to melt all flesh except bones.

In other words, just handle the acid nepenthes while being careful with the acidic liquid.

It would have been easier if you thought

, But this place wasn’t designated as an off-topic dungeon for nothing.

“In the process of dealing with Nependeath, no flowers must be harmed. The Nependeath in this dungeon values other flowers very much, so the moment they harm a flower, it goes into a state of rage and mutates.”

“Hmm? Then you can’t enter the flower garden at all, can you?”

“Yes. When you enter a flower garden, you inevitably step on a flower.”

“Burning the whole flower garden?”

“There is a habit that the power of Nependeath becomes stronger by the number of flowers harmed. If I burn them all, I’ll probably get fire resistance and run out of the dungeon?”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever lived and lived in such an irrational case.”

“That’s why no one has ever returned alive.”

But because of me, Acid Nependeath will be completely annihilated.

In a way no one would have thought of.

“What are you planning to do?”

“Acid Nependeath is a monster that eats human bones, so it’s a common way to lure it away by burning bone powder in the wind.”

“Hmm. But you look like you’re preparing something else?”

“Of course, I have prepared other methods.”

I took out a bottle from the subspace.

When the colorless, odorless liquid was gently shaken, bubbles bubbled up.

Prach was staring through the bottle with his head tilted, so I quickly explained.

“This is poison alpaca saliva mixed with water and diluted. I’m thinking of using this as a medium to sprinkle rain on the flower garden.”

“You mean to use poison. But if you use it, won’t other flowers die too?”

“Poison alpaca saliva, when mixed with water, makes a great herbicide. The damage to the flower is almost non-existent. Of course, the effect will be different for non-flower monsters like Acid Nependeath.”

The source of the information is the coachman who had taken care of before meeting Prach.

It’s one of the pieces of knowledge I learned after coming to another world, so I had it ready in advance in case I needed it when I returned to farming.

I’ve heard that it’s not uncommon for monsters to hide in fields in farmhouses in other worlds.

“I never thought it would be used like this, but I will use it wisely.”

“That’s a smart way indeed. I didn’t expect the contractor to be so intelligent.”

“That’s too much.”

After creating a magic circle on the floor, I put the water bottle on top of it.

Concentrate Rain, which can make any liquid into a rain cloud and scatter it around the area.

It was a level of magic that made it possible to create a poison cloud as it is now, and only wizards with a level of 6 or higher could use it.

“Where can I see some power?”

“Whoa… !”

Shoot ah-!

The liquid that escaped from the water bottle instantly turned into a black cloud.

Soon, raindrops began to scatter countlessly over the flower garden.

“Kikii Profit!”

“Keee!”

After hearing only the sound of rain for a long time, screams began to come from all over the flower garden.

The Nepenthes, who were disguised as flowers, poked out their heads one by one and began twisting their bodies.

Their leaves, stems, and flower buds were slowly melting as smoke rose little by little.

It was expected that after about 30 minutes, it would all melt and disappear.

Except for one.

“There was a boss in a flower garden like this.”

A giant flower in the innermost part of the flower garden.

There was an Acid Nependeath that I didn’t even intend to camouflage from the beginning.

To be precise, it was an object that evolved from Acid Nependeath and seemed to have poison resistance.

“I have no choice but to defeat that guy myself.”

I didn’t set foot in the flower garden because it would have the same habits as other individuals.

Instead, he created an ice platform in the air and approached Nependeath.

I thought they would attack by spraying the acid in the same way.

“Wow!”

The leader, Acid Nependeath, tried to tie me up by extending dozens of vines from his stem.

It was different from the previous acid nependeath.

Because it was a boss entity that didn’t appear in Adog Choi, it ended up being one shot.

It seems that there is no choice but to avoid the vines that fill the surroundings and aim for gaps.

By the way…….

“Maybe it’s because of my mood, but why doesn’t it seem like the vines are only aiming at the lower half of the body?”

[Um, it seems that way to this body as well.]

“Do you think you can win by destroying the lower body?”

[How can this body know the thoughts of plants? Hurry up and finish it.]

“Yes. If you only aim for the legs, I would be grateful.”

I stepped on a vine aiming for my legs and jumped high.

Rotating his body in the air, he confused the vine’s attack line.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, I gathered the jet-black sword energy.

“Search.”

Released just when I wanted to gather in moderation.

The sharp blade of sword pierced not only Nependeath, but also the roots beneath the ground, cutting them in two.

With a single blow, I severed the head individual and landed on top of the flower field.

Because petals were falling down on top of my head.

The scenery was so beautiful that I thought it was truly spectacular.

“The first section is clear.”

[It was an opponent who couldn’t even warm up. Let’s quickly move on to the next

“Yes. Previously… ….”

I approached the corpse of the leader, Nependeath.

It was because there was something that caught my eye at the time when the swordsmanship was cutting through the ground.

“You’ve done a lot in the past… ….”

Numerous skeletons visible under the roots.

Unlike other acid nependeath, the boss was collecting human bones.

Maybe it was left for emergency food, but somehow I had a feeling it wasn’t like that.

“Why is that?”

“Hey, I have a hypothesis that comes to my mind. Would you like to hear it?”

“Tell me.”

“Maybe the head entity was killing humans in a different way?”

“I wish I could tell you more.”

“If you look at these pelvic bones, they’re all men’s, right? This is very suspicious.”

I’ve never heard that acid nependeath eats male and female separately.

The next suspicious part was the sap from the boss.

When I touched it carefully, I couldn’t feel any acidic ingredients, and it was sticky but slippery like lotion.

And the shape of the Nependeath’s flower, the petals of which were folded, made it look like a human’s snout.

Lastly, to the point where Nependeath only aimed at my lower body…….

“…… Oh no! I guess I was mistaken.”

“What?! Say exactly what you want to say!”

“Nothing! Come on, let’s go to the next one.”

“Contractor! Didn’t you learn that drying up while talking is the worst!”

“I don’t know anything!”

“Wait!”

My suspicions are like an abyss that I shouldn’t dig deeper into.

I left this as a ghost story of Nependeath.
