Chapter 297 – Dungeons
The sword that was cursed at the guard’s sloppy attitude murmured in an absurd tone.
‘Noisy man.’
Saying that good is good, Seong-il calmly follows the guard.
‘Hmm… It’s very quiet.’
The appearance of the dungeon makes me wonder if there are people living there. After walking for a long time among the desolate forest of buildings, Seong-il finally arrives at a building that feels human.
‘Oh… Finally.’
The situation of a city that has become a gray city with a strange fog scattered from daylight. In the meantime, Seong-il is delighted to see a brightly lit building appear.
‘It feels a bit like living here.’
“Come in.”
The guard, who was very nervous, calls Seong-il with a relaxed expression.
“Yes.”
“Hmm, what the hell is he afraid of?”
‘Well. I can find out from now on.’
Seong-il, who was chatting lightly with the cursed sword, moves to what looks like a barracks on the first floor of a building.
“…Who is this?”
“This time! A mercenary who came to our city!”
“Oh!
‘…To believe this so easily? There’s only one person there, so are you happy?’
The attitude of the other party that I can’t understand. Even though this place is a dungeon, the attitude of the villagers was too bizarre.
‘Hmm… I wonder if I should use 『Emotion』…’
Carefully project 『Emotion』 Onto the guards and other people.
‘…!!’
Then I felt the bizarre aura of people. Seong-il instinctively realizes that they are not normal.
‘What…? This…’
The other person’s bizarre state, as if they were neither alive nor dead. In a way, they feel more like puppets made of human bodies than human beings.
‘What the hell is this…’
“Why?”
‘These bastards are weird. I don’t think he’s human?’
“What…?”
At Seong-il’s words, the cursed sword also spreads a feeling carefully and examines the surroundings.
『Uh… Really… What is this town? It doesn’t seem like a place where the living live…”
‘Dungeon.’
“…Dungeon? The place where Eunwol and I used to go around?”
‘Huh.’
“Isn’t that a town full of monsters?”
‘…Well, that’s not true.’
“Then what did you answer? That’s not to say these guys aren’t human.”
‘…’
Seong-il threw away doubts about this place and its people at the sight of so sophisticated people. He realizes that something is interfering with his mind.
‘…Fuck, come to think of it, I think I’m starting to like it too, right? The thought of wanting to doubt them is gradually disappearing.’
“Hmm…”
At Seong-il’s words, the cursed sword began to imbue him with strange power, and soon after, Seong-il feels his mind clear.
‘Uh…?’
Then Seong-il feels much better. Instinctively, he realizes that there is something here that paralyzes the rationality of the living.
‘Huh… Thanks to you, I’ve gotten a little better.’
『Ahem.』
Thinking that it is fortunate that there is a cursed sword that creates a mental shield, Seong-il tries to talk more carefully than before.
“…So now we have to exterminate those vampires who are spreading disease in the city and killing countless people!!”
“…”
The captain of the guard who speaks passionately with a mad expression ahead of the holy day. Once again, Seong-il shuts his mouth thinking that this is a dungeon and that they are fake, and he listens to their eloquence in silence.
“…Because! The plague fog they spread made people go crazy and more than 90 percent of the citizens were wiped out, leaving less than a thousand at most.”
“Okay.”
“In that sense, kill the vampires around here or in the baron’s castle. Then I’ll give you a reward for that.”
“…Great.”
Weeing!!
When Seong-il gave his consent, his smartphone rang. Seong-il takes out his phone without hesitation to solve a hypothesis that comes to mind.
‘If…If you don’t express doubts about my actions, is this okay?’
Thinking so, Seong-il casually takes out his phone and checks the alarm.
『Add clear details』
* Help the citizens of the city to slaughter vampires (0/200)
* Remove Blood Baron (0/1)
‘Ohh… Did you come up with more detailed clearing conditions than before? Anyway, to get closer to the core, I just have to kill all the vampires…’
Thinking so, Seong-il secretly examines the captain of the guard.
Interestingly, the appearance of the captain of the guard showed no change in expression even after taking out the objects of a foreign civilization. Seong-il realizes that they are no different from dolls.
‘…It’s just something close to an elaborate doll.’
Thanks to the mental barrier provided by the cursed sword, Seongil’s cold judgment is possible. He calmly judges them with cold eyes.
“…By any chance, what will you give me as a reward?”
“Um! Money! Honor! Women! Anything! Do you want a double…?”
‘…Yeah, I’m a bit craving a woman?’
Seong-il flinched at the unexpected reward. Seeing his expression like that, the guard captain pats him on the back and encourages him.
“Looks like you want something! If money is your goal, the vampires will pay you 10 gold per head!”
“Honor? If you make a big contribution, I’ll give you a seat in the city that will be rebuilt in the future!”
“Women are… It’s a bit difficult because there aren’t enough people, but if you’re going to make a big contribution, I’ll try to arrange it somehow. And…”
“…And?”
“If you score high, you’ll be able to marry the most beautiful woman in the city and the mayor’s daughter! This is a promise, so that’s for sure.”
“Ohhh…”
At the last remark, Seong-il feels a slight stir. At his attitude, the cursed sword scolds him as if mocking him.
“This baby … Are you shaking with the word of a woman now? ‘
‘Huh? Ah… Isn’t it?’
『Damn it… I’ve been with you for almost half a year, do you think you wouldn’t know that?』
‘…’
『In a situation like this, do you get into trouble? Don’t be too greedy.”
‘Kuh… Kuh hmm.’
Wouldn’t it be okay if we sensed the risk factors with 『Sensation』? Thinking of this, Seong-il calmly receives a map from the guard and moves outside.
“Hey.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Let’s use the spell we received from Belen the other day.”
“Huh? Ah! That? I am!! So good!!』
The cursed sword cheered when Seong-il offered to provide him with a temporary body as a ghost knight.
Laughing at his innocent attitude, Seong-il takes out the 『Wonderful Magic Book』 From his inventory.
“Whoa… Remembering the precautions Belen told me back then…”
Be careful and use the scroll carefully. Then, a magic circle made of magic begins to form under the jewel that was placed on the floor.
“Whoa…”
A strange wavelength created by the sword through the medium of the soul stone. Not long after looking at the scene with a nervous expression, the magic power charged in the jewel is completely consumed.
“Is it…?”
At the same time, the sword began to float in the air.
“Oh!! Move!! In action!!”
“…”
I thought it would take on a human form because it was a ghost knight, but when there was no such thing and only a sword was floating in the air, Seong-il murmured with a slightly disappointed expression.
“What… He said he was a ghost knight, did he just float his sword in the air? It’s nothing special…”
“What? Isn’t that all you need to do? I have a lot of greed!!』
With a slightly heartbroken voice, approach Black Seong-il and tap Seong-il’s head with the black side! And beat lightly.
“…What are you doing?
『Ahem! How is it! The attack of this body!』
“…”
Seong-il looks at him with a puzzled expression at the sword’s prank. Then the sword floats up and chatters with an exhilarating voice.
“Why why! If you move your body for the first time in your life, you can play pranks!!”
“…Do whatever you want.”
A cursed sword that moves excitedly from place to place while floating in the air.
Interestingly, since he’s behaving unruly, some guards see the sword rampage, but they don’t react at all.
‘Also…’
Seong-il sees the guards’ dry attitude and realizes that his hypothesis is correct.
Because of this, he started wandering around town with his sword.
“Hey. Don’t make a fuss. The time you can move is only half a day. In addition, they said that too vigorous movement shortens the summoning time.”
“Okay~ Okay~”
“…”
『By the way, is this really a dungeon? It looks like a new world is approaching…?』
“Well… Half of it.”
“Huh? What is it? Isn’t it a dungeon?』
“It’s a dungeon.”
『…Hmm, doesn’t it look like that bizarre space I walked around with you a while ago? Back then, there were a lot of crazy monsters.”
“Right. By the way, it’s probably the same now?”
『Hmm… Then those humans… I can’t believe it?』
“Are you sure you’re right?”
“No wonder…”
A sword that expressed a lot of doubts about the slightly strange attitude of the residents. At Seong-il’s words, he immediately realizes why they reacted so bizarrely.
“Then what are you going to do? Are you going to just get rid of it?”
“No, since this is a quest-type dungeon, I think it should be cleared according to the purpose.”
『Quest type…?』
Seong-il explains the type of dungeon for the sword he doesn’t understand.
『Hmm… You mean it’s impossible to collapse this place if the set conditions aren’t met?』
“Yes.”
『Why do you do such unnecessary things…?』
“Isn’t that Nandle?”
『Hmm…』
At Seongil’s words, the sword floated in front of him and groaned. Watching him ponder for a while, Seong-il moves to the castle where the bloody baron is.
“Yimbing… If I had known this would happen, would I have asked for a guard to guide me?”
Seong-il moved for a long time with a sword through a dark forest. However, wandering through the strange fog and dense forest, they had a hard time figuring out their destination.
『Okay. Did you ever exist?”
“There will be.”
『Shit…』
That time when the two of them were bickering and walking down the street. I feel a sharp sense of life somewhere.
“Enemy!”
“Hmm…?”
Unlike Seongil, who can grasp the surroundings with [Sensation], A sword that cannot grasp anything.
That time when he was floating in a daze with a puzzled look. Instead of answering, Seong-il quickly takes a combat stance by holding a flag-raising ceremony for bankruptcy priesthood.
“Hmm!!”
Seong-il’s appearance was impressive, so the sword stopped chatting and turned the sharp end of the sword to the direction where Seong-il took a nose-raising ceremony.
“Dirty humans! They’re invading our territory again!!”
‘…Humans invaded?
The words of a vampire, contrary to the city’s chief of guards. Seong-il put on a puzzled expression for a while, but that was also short-lived. He tries to rush in the direction he heard the answer.
‘Oh~ Those are them?’
Then, a red-eyed man and woman appeared in front of him.
Seong-il tries to attack them without hesitation at their looks that look like vampires.
‘By the way, that woman is pretty.’
A female vampire with impressive snow-white skin, probably because she is a vampire. Seeing her with her distinct features and her pretty good looks, her Seongil felt her heart move.
‘…What would it feel like doing that with a vampire?’
Perhaps sensing Seong-il’s gaze, the vampire rushes at Seong-il with an enraged expression.
“How dare you look at me dirty…!!”
‘Hmm… His physical abilities are pretty good, but he’s not threatening.’
Seong-il originally planned to summon Eun-wol and clear the dungeon together. However, since her points were a waste, he decided to try clearing her dungeon by bringing out her own abilities to the fullest without summoning her unless she was truly in crisis.
‘First of all, let’s try clearing it with my best abilities!’
Spaw!
“…?”
The moment he thought so and was about to blow his fist. The cursed sword he summoned started slicing through the vampires at an unbelievable speed.
