Chapter 273 – Guardian of the Dungeon
In an instant, the enemies were enraged when the old knight fell to the ground with a mortal wound. In particular, as if the white knight couldn’t stand it any longer, he and the priest started charging at Seong-il.
‘Come!’
Despite being surrounded by four or four elite soldiers and exchanging battles without hesitation, Seong-il grasped the White Knight’s charge with 『Influence』. He activates the enchantment imprint and begins casting advanced acceleration magic and a strength buff on the gloves.
‘The buff time limit is 10 minutes. Within that time, the enemy will definitely be wiped out.’
Seongil draws not only the buffs, but also the inner strength that can be drawn out with all his might.
『Oh… Surely the total amount of magic power has increased compared to last month?』
Despite the praise of the sword, Seong-il, who is highly focused on the battle, does not pretend to listen to him and spreads sharp sword dances in all directions.
“!!”
And the enemies who were frightened by the overwhelming offensive of the holy day, which was different from before.
In particular, the young knight, who rushed in enraged by the death of the old knight and crossed his sword, felt the pain as if his arm was being shattered the moment he blocked his sword, and fell to his knees halfway.
“Keugh…!!”
Not only that, but with Sungil’s gesture of avoiding the sword flying from a blind spot and avoiding it like a ghost with minimal staff, the enemies feel that something is wrong little by little.
“A monster… A monster…!! Awesome!!”
In a situation where their bodies were slowly paralyzed, the elite soldiers made a shocked expression when another knight’s neck was pierced by Seongil’s sword in an instant.
They were all the more shocked because they knew very well how excellent the skills of the knights they served were.
“Everyone, wake up!”
Seeing his allies confused, the white knight rushes towards Seongil at a more furious speed and takes care of the surroundings.
At her cry, the soldiers come to their senses and once again launch a sharp offensive toward Seongil.
“Joy!”
Seeing that, Seong-il uses the last move he prepared for the finale.
Clink!!
Seong-il steps back about 2 to 3 meters at a time and throws two or three glass bottles from his arms to the floor.
“!!”
And soon, acrid black smoke spreads in all directions. Enemies feel that the field of view is obscured in an instant by the smoke screen.
“Fair tricks!!”
Shouting sharply, the white knight swung his sword at Seongil without hesitation.
‘Oh…’
For the past few days, Seong-il has been focusing on combat training with 『Emotion』 Covering his eyes thoroughly. Based on that training, he thoroughly made the battlefield to his advantage.
Nevertheless, he unknowingly exclaims at the attack of the white knight who accurately swings a sharp sword at him without hesitation.
‘Oops!’
However, that is not for a while, Seong-il quickly regains his composure and faces the attack of the white knight.
Jjoong!!
Two people clashing swords for the first time in pitch-black darkness. Seong-il feels his blood boiling at the sharp touch of his rival, whom he has felt for the first time in a month.
“Kuk!”
The unimaginable strength of Seongil that is felt when swords are crossed. The white knight realizes why the previous two knights were defeated by Seongil so helplessly.
“Kidduk!”
For a moment of bewilderment, she muttered something strange of hers out of her mouth for a moment.
“…?!”
Interestingly, the beautiful light emitted from the white knight’s hand. When Seong-il sees that, he instinctively thinks of a classmate of paladins who ventured together in another world.
‘It’s like betting on God’s blessing.’
In fact, in-game, she had a special ability that greatly improved her physical abilities by borrowing the power of a god.
‘There’s no way…!!’
Because of this, Seong-il easily noticed her trick, and he tried to attack her more violently in order not to give her a break.
“Keugh…!!”
As if Seongil’s fierce attack had worked, the white knight gave up the buff magic and desperately focused on blocking Seongil’s attack.
“Why don’t you surrender?”
“Shut up! How dare you…!”
The white knight is enraged when Seong-il invites him to surrender in the dark. She turns into a berserker and drives Seong-il even more wildly.
A time when countless workshops passed. The white knight begins to feel a strange sense of uneasiness.
‘What? Why is he only defending…?’
As her days of vigorously attacking herself and her teammates shift to her defense, she senses that something is wrong with her.
“…What?!”
The white knight who was frantically fighting with Seongil. She realizes that the smoke screen around her is slowly disappearing.
“Everyone, support this way!!”
If the field of view was secured to this extent, the White Knight called for his allies, thinking that his allies would be able to come to him for support. Strangely, however, the allies do not come to their aid at all.
“What…?!”
Strangely, I looked around and saw that my allies had already been annihilated. Most of them were lying on the floor, chewing on crab foam, or wandering between death after being subdued by Seongil’s alter ego.
“Keugh…!!”
And the corpse of the priest she saw near her, and the two Dark Elves glaring at her beside the corpse.
The white knight realizes that she has fallen prey to the dirty tricks of Seongil and the Dark Elves.
“Dastardly…!!”
“Cowardice?”
“That’s right! I can’t fight fair and square…!!”
“…What are you talking about, a large number of people attacking the sacred ground of the moon, where only a few remain.”
“…”
The white knight is speechless when Seong-il hits the mark. Her Seongil slightly loosens her power on her sword against her and quickly steps back about 3m.
Ssuk!!
Then, as if she had waited, her alter ego and goblins surrounded her. Seong-il looks around and talks to the white knight.
“Put down your weapon. Then your life will be saved.”
“Shut up! Dirty cultists! Even if I die today, there will be no surrender!!”
The white knight, who did not blink an eye despite Seongil’s admonition to surrender, proclaimed the final resistance with bloody momentum. Seong-il shrugged her shoulders at her appearance and then ordered her alter ego.
“Well, if that’s the case… Kids, bring those who have fallen on the floor one by one in front of that bitch and kill them.”
“…!!”
“Let’s see… Who should I kill first… That’s right! That young knight. I didn’t like the way he talked, so I’ll have to kill him first.”
Still, a month ago, Seongil was attacked by knights and priests, and she tasted a miserable death, so her blood was boiling. Because of this, he orders the execution in a very violent and cruel voice, not in his usual moderate attitude.
At the words of such a holy day, the alter ego stands up and draws the sword.
“Wait a minute!”
“Hmm…?”
Seong-il is puzzled by a voice from an unexpected place. He turns his head in the direction of the sound.
“That execution. Let me do it.”
“Me too!”
The Dark Elf sisters suddenly said they would execute each other. As they approach the young knight with ferocious expressions, they continue their conversation with Seong-il.
“That bastard bastard is the one who destroyed the holy place we stayed in the previous time. Please give us a chance to get revenge!”
“…Yes. Let you do it.”
With the permission of her holy day, Lena puts on a fierce expression she has never shown before, and then she pulls out a very sharp-looking kukri from her waist.
Swoop!! Wow!!
“Big!? Kkeuk… Guk…!!”
Lena very skillfully and quickly decapitated her knight. She smiles slightly maniacally and quickly cuts his throat with her knife.
“Kuuk… Kuuk… Kuuk…”
With her skilled sword skills, the knight bites the blood foam from her mouth, makes her whole body tremble, and dies on the spot.
Seeing this, the white knight is furious with the helmet on and once again rushes at Seong-il.
Kaang!!
When the White Knight’s bastard sword and Seongil’s sword collided, a sharp booming sound spread in all directions.
However, unlike before, Seong-il blocks her attack with a very relaxed expression.
“Hmm… You have a strong will, right? It must have spread enough to spread the paralysis poison.”
“Eh… Vidok?”
“Yes. Paralysis poison. A poison that specializes in confining a person’s body for several hours. Don’t worry! It’s not a poison that kills people.”
“…!!”
“Now… One of your precious men just died because you refused to surrender. So, I say it again. Throw away the sword. Otherwise, I will execute and kill the remaining ones one by one in the same way as before!”
The white knight bites his teeth at the cruel words of Seongil. She glared at Seong-il fiercely for a long time before raising her sword and speaking.
“…Even if I surrender, you’ll kill me and my men. How can I trust you and surrender!”
“Hmm…”
“If you’re thinking of looking at me as an idiot, just pick up your sword and kill me! A idiot who doesn’t even know this honor…”
“Then why don’t you let the rest go free?”
“…What?”
“I beg your pardon?!”
The suggestion of an outrageous holy day. At that proposal, not only the white knight, but even the dark elf sisters looked at Seongil and made a puzzled expression.
Ignoring the sisters’ attitude, Seong-il issues an ultimatum to the white knight.
“Choose. If you surrender to our side, I swear by the name of my god, I will release your men without killing them.”
“…”
At the words of Seongil, the white knight holds her sword, and then she doesn’t say anything and just glares at her Seongil fiercely.
Seong-il shrugs at the white knight’s reaction, then takes one of her hourglasses out of her arms and puts them on the floor.
“I’ll give you some time until the sand of the clock falls completely to the floor, so you can decide within that time.”
“Hmm…”
“With time, I’m going to slit the throats of all the people lying here. Know that.”
After that, Seong-il shuts her mouth and does not take any action.
After a long time, when the sand in the hourglass is half gone, the white knight points the tip of his sword weakly to the floor and asks Seong-il a question.
“…Why do you want to capture only me?”
“Ah, we can’t keep a lot of prisoners because we don’t have a lot of believers left. In that case, it’s better to kill them all or not take them at all.”
“…Aren’t they afraid to go outside and call for salvation?”
“Even if I kill all of you, salvation will come again anyway, right? Two scouting parties have already been annihilated.”
“…”
“In that case, it’s better to capture a person of the level of an enemy officer and use it in a hostage exchange. Isn’t it?”
‘Of course, I don’t have any intention of using it to exchange you.’
No matter how sincere Seongil was, what he said outwardly sounded quite plausible, and those words eventually shake the white knight’s heart.
“…Good. If I really surrender alone, will my men really be released?”
“Of course! I risked the name of God, but how could I violate it?”
“…Keep your promise.”
Clink!!
After saying that, the white knight throws his sword to the ground. When she shows that she is willing to surrender, Seong-il orders her alter ego to arrest her.
“Okay! Everyone disarm the enemy!”
“What?! You’re lying against me right now…!!”
“What nonsense. I’m only going to disarm you. Your men will come to their senses shortly, but if they still have weapons at that time, they will, of course, try to advance to our holy ground once again to save you.”
“Ugh…”
“So we’ve got to disarm and stop them from doing useless things, right?”
“…Whoa, good.”
At Seong-il’s reasonable words, the white knight agreed as if he couldn’t help it, and Seong-il, who saw that, ordered her alter egos to completely disarm the enemy in front of her eyes.
“Okay, corner the stunned enemies and we’re off!”
After that, the subordinates head to the Holy Land in perfect order with the captured weapons.
“Fill this.”
“Huh!”
After receiving the eyepatch and earplugs Seongil gave him, the alter ego takes off the white knight’s helmet after a short answer.
Then, the appearance of a short-haired beauty with impressive platinum hair that I haven’t seen in a long time.
After removing her mask, the alter ego looks at her beautiful light blue eyes for a moment, then grins and begins to patch her eyes.
“What… What are you doing!!”
“I can’t give a prisoner information about our stronghold. And you’re a prisoner from now on. Whatever I’m about to do, shut up and accept it.”
With those words, Seong-il has her alter ego, and she perfectly wears her eye patch and ear plugs on her beautiful face.
“…What are you thinking?”
When her ears seem to be blocked, Lena and Leah quickly approach Seong-il and ask him about his intentions.
Seong-il shrugs her shoulders and starts making excuses to them.
“I can’t help it. That’s the only way to catch the boss right next to me.”
“…You have to catch it?! If you kill them all and shut their mouths, the Holy Land will be safe!!”
“Didn’t you explain that part earlier? Even if you kill them all anyway, the Church of Light will continue to send out scouts under the excuse of disappearance.”
“Hmm…”
“That’s why it’s very important to secure executive-level recruits who can dig up enemy information.”
“…You make sense, but…”
“Don’t worry~ I have thoughts about everything afterward!”
“Huh… If that’s the case~ I’ll believe it! Grand Master”
“Thank you.”
Fortunately, when the Dark Elf sisters seem to have obeyed his orders, Seong-il lets out a sigh of relief.
“But!”
“Huh?”
I thought her business was over, but when Leah calls out to her, Seong-il looks at her with a puzzled look on her face.
“But it’s not like this. That damn bitch is a servant of the god of light.”
“…So?”
“That bitch should also suffer as we were oppressed!”
“It’s hard to get hurt…”
“I’m not hurt! I won’t let that happen.”
“…Then?”
“We need to make that trash bitch feel so ashamed that she wants to die herself.”
“Hmm…”
“From now on, we have to take that bitch’s clothes off, make her naked, tie her arms, and walk barefoot to our holy place to atone for her sins!”
“…”
“If possible, order the goblins as a group…”
“I don’t allow that.”
‘It’s mine!’
Seong-Il is serious about Leah’s words to deal with the woman she’s aiming for. Leah then shrugs her shoulders and offers her Sung-il a compromise.
“If so, then make them naked and make them walk around. Can you allow that much?”
“…That’s about it.”
Seong-il does not object to Lena’s words, as the white knight surrendering and marching naked is actually an event implemented in-game.
So, when her seongil agrees with her own words, Leah, along with her sister Lena, begin to run at the white knight like her deukdal.
