158 – 151. Midterm exam-4
A space that is both cold and chilly.
But on the other hand, there was Cherin, who volunteered to step her foot into the darkness where it felt cozy.
She was the thick darkness that anyone would avoid, but to her, it felt like her sacred ministry.
In that empty void, She Lynn was about to pray with her hands together.
A small whisper came into her ear.
[Worship, pray, praise, to the true immortal, not the false immortal… ….]
“Ah… !”
At last, the voice of God reached Sherin, and her eyes began to blur.
Answers that do not come back even though I have begged countless times and prayed with a godly heart.
However, this time she answered her own prayers.
It felt different from the voice of God she had only heard once when she was a child, but it didn’t matter.
Sherin was confident that she would give her liver as well as her gallbladder in that a noble and solemn being looked at her and spoke to her.
[I will change your insignificant destiny.]
“Thank you…” How big?!”
[Death is both a reward and a new beginning, so savor and enjoy it.]
Black thorns suddenly appeared in her void and began to pierce Cherin’s body.
From head to toe, there are no thorns that have not been stabbed.
Instead of bright red blood, a black, sticky liquid was leaking from the area where she had been stabbed.
As time passed, the black liquid that flowed from Cherin’s body gathered together and covered the darkness.
The black liquid that swallowed the space called void eventually became a sphere and changed like a cocoon.
The unidentified being who watched the scene with her eyes lifted disappeared with a low voice.
[Become the foundation for the king…….]
***
The interior of Brutine Dungeon was 3 to 4 times wider than normal dungeons.
Thanks to the completion of the raid, it was easy to get lost even in a dungeon equipped with a map.
It was famous for the number of monsters living inside the dungeon.
About 10 episodes of the main story were made in this dungeon.
That meant that it was spacious enough to accommodate all the students of the academy.
“Can we do this?”
“If the professors get caught… ….”
“Is that sound again? I told you I was fine!”
“Ha, but there is such a thing as an if, right?”
“You will never get caught, so don’t talk nonsense and follow me! Shun-senpai, who graduated the year before last, also said he succeeded this way!”
There are three students who shouldn’t have been in Brutine Dungeon originally.
They had set up their alter ego through the black market the day before and entered the Brutine Dungeon in advance.
There is only one purpose.
It was to get high grades by entering the dungeon before other students and achieving the goal.
“Hurry up and find the boss room while you are chatting away!”
All midterm exams in history have been to bring the stone of proof beyond the boss room.
Fortunately, the owner of the dungeon was not there as the raid was over.
Students just have to reach the boss room and take the stone while defeating the monsters on the way with peace of mind.
The midterm test was literally a test of the various abilities of the students when it came to clearing the dungeon.
As the ability is outstanding, it should be easy to attack, so the test result will be determined by the time taken.
That’s why the three expedient students had entered the dungeon earlier.
“As long as you take the stone of proof, you are sure to win first place. Then those proud class A guys won’t be able to ignore us!”
A male student who reveals his intentions.
He was a student in Class B who had ill feelings towards Class A.
Before Vern became a part-time instructor at the academy, he was bullied by bullies in Class A.
He was a male student who hoped to take revenge someday, but was only beaten because of lack of strength.
When he heard that Bern had scolded Class A, he shook his head within moments even though he was delighted.
When it comes to revenge, you have to do it with your own hands.
So he constantly conceived of a revenge plan, and the plan that came out was the current situation.
Class A students with high pride must be sure that they will be in first place.
But what if the first place is taken away by the student who usually bullied you?
That’s what the male student thought that there would never be anything he would be so resentful of.
Retaliation would follow, but it didn’t matter. That’s because he proves that he is incompetent.
‘I’m looking for it before the midterm exams start in earnest… !’
Although it was not a luxurious formation, it was a three-person party with a warrior, archer, and wizard.
As long as the monsters didn’t rush in like a tidal wave, I could have dealt with them.
Even though they struggled with the elite monsters that appeared in the middle, they moved forward little by little.
Still, there is no signal indicating the start of the midterm exam.
An obstacle arose in front of them as they advanced with the hope that they would be able to win first place.
“What is that?”
“It must be a monster, right? Do you think you will be punished if you attack without knowing it?”
A statue of a black angel standing in the middle of the aisle and praying.
A look of bewilderment was revealed on the faces of the trio at a monster of a form never seen before.
“Don’t be scared! Didn’t I say that the level of danger of the monsters that appear in Brutine Dungeon is up to B-class? It’s an enemy that the three of us can break through!”
“That is true. Haven’t you slaughtered all the monsters that have appeared so far?”
“What, have I become an idiot for worrying?”
“You are stupid.”
They showed their confidence while laughing hahahaha.
Paud deuk-!
Until the angel statue changes.
An eerie tentacle protruded from the back of the angel statue, and at the same time, a black circle was created at their feet.
The trio hurriedly backed away and tried to get out of the circle.
But for some reason, my feet didn’t move as if they were stuck to the ground.
From noble mtl dot com
“Keugh! What else is this!”
“Let go of this!”
“I don’t see any sign of this falling out?”
They twisted their bodies hard to get out of the circle, but they were helpless.
At the worst, I think I might have to amputate my leg.
Bad-!
The ground they were standing on began to crack.
The male student in charge of the avant-garde shouted as the feeling of uneasiness grew at once.
“Attack that statue! This strange magic must be used by that statue!”
“Oh, okay!”
I pulled the bowstring towards the statue of an angel with tentacles sticking out.
The arrow from the bow must be pierced right between the eyebrows of the statue and shattered.
But, before the arrow left, something happened.
“What are you doing? Come on, don’t shoot…….”
“Keah!!”
“… Go?”
A black tentacle crawling out of the cracks in the cracked earth.
It pierced both feet of a male student who was holding a bow and came out through the top of his head.
Jjijik-!
At the same time, it tore his body in half.
“uuu!!”
The terrible death of a friend who shared the joys and sorrows of the past.
As blood spattered on the face of the male student watching the scene, he couldn’t help but scream.
With the denial of the reality of his friend’s death, fear began to wrap around his body.
If I had been able to move, I would have thrown everything away and left the dungeon.
However, as he still couldn’t move, the fear returned to him in full force.
“D-Derek is dead?!”
“This must be a dream! It must be a dream! It must be a dream… !!”
Two people who couldn’t accept reality.
It was in the midst of flowing hot tears.
“Heo Eok!”
As soon as the cane fell from the trembling hands of the male student at the back, tentacles pounced on him.
This time it was unpierced and wrapped around his head.
Kwajik-!
The tentacles squeezed the student’s head without hesitation and blew it off.
Blood was clearly oozing out from between the entangled tentacles.
A voice no longer came out of the mouth of a student who had witnessed the death of a friend twice.
I just trembled and shed endless tears.
His gaze slowly turned to the statue.
There was no change in the appearance of praying reverently, but there was a clear difference from before.
It is not an exaggeration to say that tears of blood flowed from his eyes and the corners of his mouth were raised.
The student couldn’t keep his mouth shut at the bizarre sight.
A demon wearing an angel’s mask. No, it was more of a monster than a devil.
Because it had hideous otherworldly tentacles that demons don’t have.
And those tentacles were slowly approaching the last male student.
“Ah….”
How will you die this time?
Those thoughts passed through the boy’s head.
He was sure he would meet a terrible end no matter how he died.
A world without dreams and hopes.
It was a dark fantasy because it was a scene where nothing but death and a gloomy atmosphere remained.
“Keee?!”
Until the man who appeared from behind the statue touched the statue’s butt.
“It’s normal to be hard, but it’s a strangely soft butt…….”
Bern came to the dungeon after hearing the screams of the students.
His hands were playing with the buttocks of the elongated statue.
“Surprisingly addictive, I love it!”
He even slapped the butt of the statue as a finishing touch.
The statue hurriedly lowered his hand while he was praying and covered his buttocks.
“You think you can stop it?”
Bern smiled and looked at the statue.
Then he said a short word.
“I will send you to heaven where your Lord is.”
Bern meant to crush and kill him, but the statue had a different meaning.
Because of that, the bloody tears stopped flowing from the statue’s eyes, and the corners of its mouth trembled.
The genre of dark fantasy has gone deep.
