Chapter 766 – Guardian of the Dungeon
The situation that finally broke through the first half of the Great Labyrinth. Because of this, Seong-il looks so happy that he can finally cut off the head of that troublesome apostle.
“…No.”
Sooner or later, Seong-il imagines capturing Alvera and making her look miserable to propagate, but quickly realizes that the idea is wrong and frowns.
‘Fuck… If you remove the apostle, another apostle will appear. Then things could get worse.’
The more you subdue the apostles, the stronger the apostles will be in the next round, and in the worst case, the ‘last apostle’, which only appears in the true ending route, may appear in the next round. Realize.
‘Fuck… I beat her for no reason, and in the next episode, if the aspiring hunters go through hardships, that’ll be a nuisance again.’
Seong-il, who imagined to catch Alvera and turn it around, soon calms down that desire and tries to induce the situation as rationally as possible.
‘Yeah… It’s only right to capture her near the final floor.’
No matter how much you think about it, it’s generally not good to beat Alvera right away just because you skipped the minimum true ending requirements. Seong-il desperately suppresses his emotions and designs a way forward.
‘…I guess I’d better catch it at the end. In the way that only the third apostle meets during the final war…’
That much won’t have a serious impact on aspiring hunters who will visit here in the future, so Seong-il eventually decides to be more ‘tolerant’ instead of killing Alvera, who bothered him.
After making such a plan, Seong-il repeats going down to the depths in order to quickly clear the dungeon’s guardian. As the patterns were standardized and the powers they possessed became elite, Seongil was able to move into the depths of the Great Labyrinth at a faster speed than in the early floors.
A speed that would never be possible through normal play. However, Seong-il brought powerful visions here that could never be realized in the original game, so he laughs at the rules and repeats clearing at a tremendous speed.
“Edward. I’ll go to the entrance, so take care of yourself with the G.E.C.R.”
“Of course. Master.”
Edward leads the G.E.C.R that came from reality with him and quickly fortifies the area around the sanctuary installed on the moon. And as they sorted out the trivial but important matters, the relieved Dark Elves and priests quickly left the sanctuary to subdue the humanoid tribe in the labyrinth or secure hidden resources.
Thanks to Seongil, the Church of the Moon, which was able to repeat the slitting play without guards, was able to form a virtuous cycle of quick sanctuary construction and securing resources and alliances, allowing the Church of Light to advance at a speed that could not be dared to do anything about it. .
“Move straight! Slaves!! I’ll turn slaves who don’t meet their quotas into zombies!!”
“Okay!! Listen to the master!! Otherwise, we will suck your blood!!”
The remaining captives in the sanctuary do hard and menial work. First of all, they had no choice but to repeat hard labor without being able to roll their heads because of the strict surveillance of the lower demon imps and undead soldiers summoned by Warlocks and Necromancers. Even if he somehow managed to break through their surveillance, he would be caught by an ogre lying around the sanctuary because he was lazy and turned into a meal or turned into a zombie and had to work even after death.
Based on such a huge number of undead + sophisticated G.E.C.R + prisoners captured while descending tens of floors, the Church of the Holy Day and Moon began to turn the sanctuary into an impenetrable fortress at a tremendous speed.
“Hey… Isn’t the speed of development now incomparable to what it used to be?”
Situated in front of the main floor where the main soldiers dispatched by the Church of Light will flock, Seong-il exclaims as he sees the sanctuary being built quickly based on the shared G.E.C.R. And sight of the alter ego.
“Now the size of the army is not only large, but the type and level of troops are also enormous.”
The army of the moon as it was evaluated on the holy day. Although the Warlock and Necromancer groups on a warrior and priest base built with humans are threatening enough. Even that was not enough, and when a group of humanoid warriors such as ogres and dark elves joined in, the Church of the Moon lost all of its ragtag appearance.
“Even the Necromancer and the guys summoned by Warlock look great…”
Unlike the clumsy undead forces seen in the first week, as the second half progressed, the newly joined high-ranking necromancers also brought summoned death knights and powerful demons. Even high-ranking warlocks are low-level, but even demons are summoned and used as servants.
『Seongil! Lena’s new necromancer wants to see you? What is the head of the organization…”
‘Oh… No way?’
When Seong-il tells Lena about the new necromancer she found on this floor, her eyes light up and she is very interested. If he is the ‘hidden peace’ he is looking for, he can be of great help, so Seong-il, unlike the slaughter of the henchmen of light, standing upright at the entrance no matter what happens, quickly moves to meet the necromancer.
“Ohh… This is the Great Master of the Moon. My name is Adalan.”
A white-haired necromancer who looks quite old appears. Unusual black magic emanates from his body, and he feels like a top-ranking wizard among the wizards he has met while wandering around many worlds.
‘It’s not on the level of an apostle…But it’s quite strong, right?’
At the appearance of the first named necromancer, who seems to be just below the academy faculty or just below Ruchel, Seong-il looks at him with a very interesting expression.
“Are you good enough?”
“…Quite?”
Seong-il was genuinely admiring, but Adalan, who has lived in the world for over a hundred years and studied and trained the relationship between life and death, considered himself a fairly powerful necromancer, so he seemed offended by Seong-il’s arrogant words.
Maybe that’s why Adalan is overcome with a desire to show Seongil how great she is and press his nose even lightly. He picks up a staff decorated with a dragon’s skull and starts hitting the floor lightly several times.
“…Oh?”
Then, a shadow demon with a menacing appearance emerged from Adalan’s shadow. The shadow, which seemed to be half-beast and half-demon, swelled to a gigantic size in an instant and began to radiate a bloody presence to the surroundings.
“Oh? Is it a shadow demon from the music world? It looks quite high-ranking, doesn’t it?”
“Simple level is not high enough. He is a Shade Lord.”
Adallan wonders if Seongil’s expression of ‘high level’ is ridiculous. The Shade Lord is a being that reigns like an emperor after taking control of some areas of the shadow world, and strongly appeals as a demon as powerful as its reputation.
“Ohhh… That’s right.”
Seong-il knew that the necromancer in front of him did such an act to highlight his value, not to challenge him, so he doesn’t seem to be offended by his actions. He even listens to his self-praise in a soft tone so that the necromancer can build up his pride.
『Kreung…!!』
The time when Adalan is still trying to show his presence to the young warrior of the moon. From the shadow of the holy day, the howl of a beast similar to that of a wolf flows out in displeasure. Hearing the bizarre sound for the first time, the surrounding necromancers naturally keep an eye on Seongil’s shadow.
Soon after, a shadow demon with a strong presence emerges from Seongil’s shadow. When the messenger of destruction, who exudes a negative aura that is incomparably stronger than Adalan’s Shade Lord, appeared, Adalan, who tried to appeal his presence in front of Seongil, as well as the Shade Lord, who descended into the world according to his will, were there. Stare at the messenger frozen in
『Kwaaaaa!!!』
As if he is annoyed at doing inappropriate things in front of his master, Seong-il, the messenger of destruction transforms into a gigantic demon after a long time and presses Adalan and the Shade Lord with intense magic power.
“Kuh…!!”
“Bowl…”
Shade Lord, a loser on the same level as a powerful necromancer, begins to soften his momentum with a stunned expression from the pressure from such a messenger of destruction. As if they liked the change in their attitude, the messenger of destruction radiates magical powers filled with ridiculing emotions around them, and then turns into a wolf in front of Seongil again to keep its place.
A messenger of destruction who was only a wolf cub in the past. However, perhaps because he had been with Seongil for a long time and absorbed his mana, the messenger had grown from a wolf cub to a large, dignified wolf. Next to such a messenger, Adalan approaches with a humble attitude, as if he never showed pride, and spits out a strange spell to the messenger.
