Episode 37
“Ahahahaha…”
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and smiled awkwardly.
Then, shrugging his shoulders as if he was embarrassed, he accepted what the Marquis Lady had just said.
“Is this my answer?”
“I see, you’re a tremendously talented person. To figure out even these things.”
“Of course. Doesn’t my experience prove it all?”
When Sophia nodded her head in agreement, I felt proud for no reason, even though it was a phrase filled with soul.
As expected, there was no one who could follow me when it comes to brazen steps.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was almost a secret skill in reading.
“……So shameless. You just knocked on the wall and screamed for help.”
“That’s kind of a joke. Aren’t you surprised?”
“Even though the anger is all the way to the top.”
“hahahaha. Then, poetry, it must be a failed joke.”
she wasn’t stupid
Perhaps he deliberately took my reaction.
‘I thought I couldn’t see it because it was dark, but my eyes are unnecessarily good.’
Into Sophia’s face, which seemed to have risen in deep anger, I couldn’t say any more nonsense.
I hurriedly searched around, pretending to find an exit.
The young lady of the Marquis also just watched, and soon began to follow.
It seemed scary to be standing alone somewhere in a dark dungeon.
Fortunately, there was a road leading somewhere behind the revolving door.
‘The atmosphere is distinctly different from before.’
The characteristics of this dungeon were standardized corridors and complicatedly changing trap patterns.
But from here, it looked like a natural cave.
Of course, it wouldn’t have been created naturally.
It was probably because he escaped from the barriers of the dungeon.
While passing through a long cave, Sophia muttered as she rubbed her upper arms with her palms.
“The atmosphere is very eerie. Isn’t this even undead popping out?”
“All dungeons are cold and dark.”
“No. Something feels strange.”
“If you keep doing that, your words will become seeds.”
“…”
When he fired at me with a harsh word, she calmly shut her mouth.
Of course, it wasn’t because of the tip that it became quiet.
It seemed that he was worried that he might abandon himself in case of emergency and stand out.
It seemed that they didn’t even expect me to act as a wizard’s guard.
‘Saving beautiful women and stealing hearts is my specialty.’
I glanced at Sofia’s profile for no reason, but a strange sensation ran down my spine.
I immediately provoked Mahon.
As the dark aura was released, I sensed something subtle spreading through the air.
“It definitely smells.”
“You can only smell the musty smell of the basement?”
As if hearing my murmur, she nodded her nose at the wizard’s robe and clothes.
It seemed that he was checking to see if he was smelling bad.
“It’s not that there’s an entity.”
“then?”
“It’s kind of ominous.”
“Look. What did I say? I said it was strange.”
It was such a subtle aura that it could never be detected at the level of a marquise’s daughter.
But a woman’s sixth sense sometimes noticed things that exceeded common sense.
‘Do you know all about my true identity?’
I sneered inwardly and raised my senses to the highest level.
However, the ominous aura soon disappeared.
No matter how much I concentrated, I couldn’t feel it anymore.
“I’m not sure. It could just be groundless.”
“You’re really… you’re good at one word. It feels like you’re just randomly putting it together, but it’s strangely persuasive.”
“I can’t believe it. Didn’t the young lady recognize my skills? I even discovered a secret passage. It’s a feat that can never be accomplished by just talking.”
The revolving door trap was transformed into a secret passage.
But Sophia didn’t object.
Strangely enough without saying anything, I slightly turned my head.
She was staring somewhere in the dark with her eyes wide open.
As I followed the gaze of the marquise’s daughter, two groups of red lights flashed.
At that moment, along with the ominous energy I felt earlier, the stench of a rotting corpse suddenly came up.
‘This?’
Sophia’s wisp trembled, then fell to the ground and lost its light.
The duration of the magic has run out.
I quickly pushed the light artifact forward and chased the darkness.
Then, a wide cavity appeared in front of me.
An ominous aura and red rays were pouring out from that very spot.
That’s right! thud!
As soon as the cavity was discovered, the wall wriggled and completely blocked the front and back.
‘Didn’t he come out of the barrier?’
It seemed that this cave was also a place that fell within the influence of the dungeon.
“The wall…! The wall is moving!”
“It must mean forward. When have we ever retreated?”
“That’s because there was no way back!”
“Even now, it’s the same as back then. What?”
As the wall proliferated and pushed in, Sophia and I had no choice but to move forward.
The mass of rock that completely filled the hallway stopped just as it was.
The moving walls did not seem to be traps, but only served to collectively repel intruders.
However, the moment I inadvertently illuminated the light artifact, there was a strange presence in the center.
Sigh. okay.
There was a sound similar to that of rusty hinges moving.
Eventually, we were able to identify the identity of the crimson beam of light.
“Death… a night?”
The rusty black armor, the red eyes, the energy of death all over the body, and the Death Blade rising from the old sword.
Anyone could see that the dark knight, the Death Knight, was certain.
An undead monster suitable for the final boss of such a dungeon.
However, I took Sophia’s words as if it was not a big deal.
“I will. It’s a Death Knight.”
“You say that so casually?”
“Then what do you say? De, de, de, Death Knight!
“That’s too much of a fuss.”
“Then I guess you just made a fuss. You look terrified?”
“What? When will I!”
“Now, are you relaxed? I’m going to defeat the final boss. Please do the support yourself.”
I pulled out the black dragon sword and narrowed the distance with a leisurely gait.
The Death Knight was an undead whose power varied widely depending on its maker.
If it was a high-level black magician, he could have created monsters beyond imagination.
However, the guy in front of me didn’t seem to be that strong.
If it was my Dancheon-prepared sword, I could probably destroy it with one sword.
But now, the Marquis Lady is watching the battle.
It was inevitable to stir a little to use Biggi freely.
If you have an eye for studying abroad at Cheongtap, you will know about the characteristics of Riverrun and Landswalger Biggie.
‘You have to deal only with basic swordsmanship and improvisation. It must be fun, right?’
It was a pretty unfavorable situation for me, but I still didn’t feel bad.
If I could destroy the Death Knight and clear the dungeon here, the greatest contributor would be me.
Since he played an active role, there must be a lot of falling rewards.
Recalling the gold coins and the right to sell the villa, I was able to smile despite the vicious fight.
okay. Hey profit!
After narrowing the distance to some extent, the Death Knight, who had been standing still, suddenly swung his sword.
“What?”
Whoa!
It was a blow that was too sudden and without even a sign, but I passed it easily.
By pushing the side of the Death Blade strongly, the sword path was greatly changed.
It was a basic horizontal slash, but the weightlifting carried on the black dragon sword was by no means light.
The use of only obvious secrets was limited, but I was able to use Dancheon Ilseom as much as I wanted.
gigg! Whoa! Koo Hung!
Despite the failed attack, the Death Knight mechanically took the next move.
The Undead’s unique apnea wave attack continued.
Quaching! Damn it!
Like a mercenary, I unfolded real impromptu swordsmanship and blocked all attacks.
To be honest, fighting with a swordsmanship he was not familiar with was tantamount to embarrassment for the swordsman.
Besides, the opponent was unexpectedly a very strong guy.
After vigorously pushing the dark red Death Blade, I distanced myself from him.
“No, he’s stronger than I thought?”
I muttered in a slightly absurd voice, but suddenly I heard a sonorous voice from behind.
“Aggregation of runaway flames will shatter and eradicate the target! Fireball!”
Shih! Kwaaang!
As the warm energy approached, I reflexively evaded.
The moment he quickly escaped from the line of fire, a fireball suddenly burst into the Death Knight’s chest.
Wow!
Flames poured out with a considerable explosion, sweeping the surroundings.
For a moment, magic flames filled the center of the cavity, but soon the mana array was disturbed and disappeared.
“Shouldn’t you talk and shoot!”
I protested to Sophia with an absurd expression.
Generally, when using magic support, the timing to attack from the side or the guard to avoid is set in advance.
Otherwise, your allies will take damage.
But she shrugged her shoulders as if there was something wrong.
“You avoided it well. So that’s what happened. More than that… you wouldn’t have time to talk to me, would you?”
Hey profit!
Feeling uncomfortable with the Marquis’ words, I immediately stepped back and stepped back.
Sure enough, the Death Blade suddenly came and swept the place where I had just been.
After all, he couldn’t defeat the Death Knight with just one fire ball.
“It looks like it was made by a warlock with a higher level than I thought. Even if I can’t do it, it’ll be at the level of a 4th tier. Isn’t it? You undead bastard.”
“Four, three…”
“yes?”
“Tier 3. Stupid.”
I’m talking to myself while roughly estimating the level, but the other person is opening his mouth out of nowhere.
Surprised, I asked a question instead of raising my sword.
“Does Death Knight know how to talk? But why have you been silent until now?”
“Because no one talked to me.”
“Wow! This is inflexible. Does that have to start a conversation?”
“I learned that way.”
“It seems that the black magician who is blocked from the front and rear is your master. Anyway, if you are here, this means that the other side is the end of the dungeon, right?”
“It’s not?”
“Eh?”
“Where’s the fool to tell an intruder that?”
I tried to open him up naturally, but I ended up taking a shot.
Unlike the general undead, this guy’s intelligence seemed to be very high-dimensional.
Of course, that would not change the outcome of the battle.
Whoops!
As he unfolded Dancheon Ilseom, gray auras that were both secret and powerful burst out.
Although the Death Knight was stronger than expected, he was confident that he could defeat it if he dealt with it seriously.
Of course, that is without deploying the Dancheon Maryeon Sword.
Damn it! Quaching!
Although honest basic swordsmanship unfolded, the opponent’s stance quickly began to crumble.
Because of the overwhelming difference in the power of the aura, this result was derived.
Before long, I was able to cut off the Death Knight’s head and completely smash the helmet and skull.
Kwajik!
“Whew! It was a good match. Skeleton gourd.”
Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I stared at the remains of the Death Knight and suddenly turned my head.
It was because it reminded me of Sofia, who only threw one fireball as a support magic.
Before she knew it, she had passed through the cavity and climbed dozens of stairs.
It seemed that I had no interest in fighting the Death Knight in the first place.
I didn’t even know if I was thinking of jumping alone.
“Wow! Look at this!”
Sophia was cheering as if she had discovered something great.
‘Did you buy and sell support? uh! I can’t even get a hold of one. I’ll look at you because you’re pretty.’
I grumbled inwardly and went straight up the stairs.
He was determined to show no reaction to whatever the Marquis Lady discovered.
But when I reached the end, I couldn’t help but mutter this involuntarily.
“this is……!”
