184 – 177. Water knows the answer-7
I don’t know exactly who the creator of the dungeon is, but I did know that it was evil.
And he may have ill feelings toward me.
As soon as I entered, I changed the shape of the dungeon and created the biggest challenge.
A door that opens only when something else is inserted into the hole instead of a key.
Oddly enough, the size of the hole was similar to that of my holy sword.
“Is this the fear of the unknown? .”
“It would be better not to tell.”
Obviously, the extraterrestrial entity did not insert it as intended.
After extracting an appropriate amount of blood, it was hardened and put into the hole.
The right amount of blood burrowed into the lock and spun around.
Clap-!
To my horror, the door opened only after turning the key made of blood about five times.
If he had inserted a holy sword instead of blood, he would have rotated his entire body 360 degrees 5 times.
I was speechless when I imagined it.
Even if I was alone, wouldn’t I want to commit suicide out of shame?
I didn’t have the slightest desire to do it even though I was trained mentally.
Because the price to be paid for giving up even human dignity was so pitiful.
“Let’s keep going.”
“Yes.”
As soon as the door opened, light began to enter the glowstone attached to the wall.
Since it is a dungeon under the sea, fire has become an unusable element.
The luminescent stone would fill the vacancy without a torch.
I removed a piece of glowstone from the wall and put it in my pocket.
It will come in handy when you come across a dark section without glowstones.
There is light magic, but if you can’t use magic like in the Dungeon of Lust, you have no choice but to rely on tools.
“Seeing you like that reminds me of the past. My wife was as thorough as you.”
“Are you talking about your mother-in-law?”
“It won’t be that much fun. It’s just a story about her being beaten on the back for not being ready to take care of a child properly.”
“Isn’t it important that he remembers all the little things like that?”
There is a difference between the level of heaven and earth in the lifespan of humans and dragons.
Human beings cannot live beyond 100 years even if they live long, whereas dragons live thousands of years.
Just as most living things do not remember their own infancy, dragons have no choice but to slowly lose their memories of their spouses.
Even so, the meaning that the memory is still clear can be said that it was a being that he loved and was special to the dragon.
“It’s a pity that I can no longer see who he must have been.”
“…… In my eyes, she was the most beautiful woman in the world. There was a self-portrait left in the nest, but she should have shown it before coming to the dungeon.”
“Is that so?”
“If you escape this dungeon safely, then… Creepy?!”
Jaak-!
From noble mtl dot com
As soon as I heard Fukeados’ words, my palms went out toward his cheeks in an automatic reflex.
I had blocked him from spitting out the words that brought about death, but from his point of view, he was suddenly slapped by me.
There is no solid basis to claim that dangerous remarks were blocked.
Suddenly, I became a human who slapped the dragon’s cheek without a coward.
My focus was lost, and sweat broke out on my forehead.
“This, this was never ill-tempered… !”
“I know what you meant by hitting me.”
“Yes?”
“Because my wife often beat me badly for saying things that made me uneasy. I couldn’t understand it at first, but then I got used to it. She never thought she would feel the touch again now that she has been separated from her wife for so long, but she does.”
Hukeados was smiling dejectedly.
From his anecdote, I suddenly became curious about Sestia’s mother.
Maybe he was from the same earth as me?
Rene’s father and Breeze’s husband, too, grew increasingly suspicious.
I couldn’t be sure, but considering the possibility, I wanted to know more and more about the stories related to them.
There might be some connection between the world I lived in and the other world.
In the process, you might learn a way to return to the original world.
“Anyway, I know that you had no ill intentions, so let’s keep this matter aside. To be honest, it must have been my fault for saying ominous things in my face.”
“Thank you… ….”
“There is no need to say thank you. Rather, prepare sooner, for the darkness is coming.”
A bleak energy passed through my skin.
That’s all. No sound was heard, nothing changed.
But my intuition was sending red flags.
“Coming.”
Hoo-!
All at once, the light from the glowstone went out, and the surroundings became dark all at once.
The darkness swallowed even the sound and erased the beat of the heart.
I got to the point where I didn’t know when or where to attack, but I stayed still.
Beings derived from extraterrestrial beings do not have the nature of ambush in the dark.
Is it a feeling that stimulates primal fear?
It contained ‘malice’, which enjoys reactions while dealing with the unknown territory that humans fear.
“Make your appearance.”
I spit out the feeling of not being afraid in my voice.
Then the darkness dissipated all at once, and the light from the glowstone returned.
It was just that the narrow passageway where I had been standing just before was not visible, and instead, a wide hollow was spread out in front of my eyes.
It must have transformed the space or transformed the cave in the moment of darkness.
‘What kind of structure is this dungeon? ….’
Laughing, I squatted in the middle of the cavity and looked at the being with its back to us.
Like a devastated person, a human looking up at the ceiling stunned with both legs touching the ground.
There was no way a human could stand upright in the sea hundreds of meters below.
I thought it was something wearing a human mask and calmly waited until it moved.
“For… The… King….”
A being reciting something softly in English.
The meaning was, significantly, ‘for the king’.
A lot of bad memories came to my mind at the word ‘king’.
It was only for a while that I narrowed my eyebrows.
The guy who was looking up at the ceiling bent his neck 180 degrees and slowly lowered his head.
“As expected, he was a monster.”
It had a human form, but its face was pure white and it had no body parts except for its mouth.
As soon as their mouths noticed our presence, they opened to the sides and grotesquely ripped their foreheads.
A guy who clearly shows the side of a monster as if the demon is nothing.
“Kieea!!”
At last, the mouth that had been torn up to the head was pulled back, and an eyeless monster popped out from within.
Looks like something you’d see in a movie invaded by alien creatures.
It was said that it was an alien being, and indeed an alien creature was placed in the dungeon.
The face of Fukeados, who had lived for a long time, seemed disturbed in many ways, as if it was the first time he had seen it.
A strange creature that shouldn’t exist in this world.
The energy the guy was emitting was similar to the tentacled statue he fought before.
“Watch out, it’s coming…” !”
“Huh!”
Chaeeng-! I’m going to go to the middle of the day!
The monster rushed forward and thrust its sharp claws before we could even step.
I barely blocked it by responding with Frach, but I didn’t back down and pushed his claws.
I tried to fight strength with strength, but my nerves grew colder at the strength of my muscles, which was not as formidable as I thought.
The smell of death I haven’t smelled in a long time.
The thought that an enemy stronger than an S-class beast has appeared and the thought that I will die if I am not careful began to swirl in my head.
[Your opponent’s skills are extraordinary! Contractor, you must do your best!]
‘I know… !’
There was no time to relax or hide in front of an opponent who could barely fight back with all their might.
“Get out of here!”
The claws managed to get their distance, kicking the monster’s stomach as it tried to push it all the way.
Without time to catch my breath, I threw Prach up.
“Kieek!”
“Tsk!”
As soon as I accepted the falling Prach again, the monster attacked me.
By running backwards, I narrowly avoided the claws coming from the right side.
Then, the two consecutive attacks coming from the left were parried away with the sword.
“It’s my turn.”
With two failed attacks, the monster was revealing a momentary gap.
I didn’t miss the opportunity, and I fired all at once the cloned Prachs I had split in the air.
Kudeuk-! Fast-!
However, the monster twisted its muscles and dodged the sword in a way that humans couldn’t even imagine.
A monster that moves flexibly like a mollusk creature, avoiding all swords and continuing its attack.
It was certain that there was an alien existence that aroused fear of the unknown.
“You bastard, you f*cking fight!”
“Kihii Profit!”
It feels quite different from the existing crying sound.
My eyebrows furrowed at the feeling of being ridiculed.
With a single-minded determination to surely kill them, they shook their swords and competed for unity.
“Whoa… !”
As the sum of the sword and claw exceeded twenty, he exhaled deeply.
As expected, it is certain that the opponent is not easy to defeat, but it doesn’t matter.
Not only did I know that it was a level I could catch if I put in the time, but also because I had colleagues.
The blue dragon that was silent while I was fighting the monster, Hukeados.
He was far away, drawing intense energy from his mouth.
As my gaze reached him, the monster turned its head one after another.
Even without eyes, it seems that he was able to see his sign.
After belatedly realizing that the blue dragon was about to fire a breath, I tried to get him out of the seat…….
“Where are you going!”
“Keeek?!”
I grabbed his arms and held him tight.
I stabbed my sword into his limbs and fixed them firmly.
In the process, the pain that hit my brain flowed all over my body, but it’s okay.
Because the meaning of making it impossible to escape is important.
“In this state, I will be able to receive the dragon’s breath properly with you.”
“Kikkiik?”
“However, the blue dragon’s breath is of the water attribute. And I have the blessing of immunity he gave me! Then what will be the result?”
“…… Kihehehe!”
A monster that struggles harder while realizing the outcome.
However, the wounds were further widened by the sword stuck in his arms and legs, and he could not escape from me.
“Let’s explode together… !”
Hukeados sent a wave of intense energy towards me and the monster.
The size of the breath was much larger and more beautiful than expected.
Ah, the divine protection should be effective…….
Welp, time to gamble…….
Is it????
Kind of curious tho
