Chapter 95 – Chapter 23. The Devil’s Den.
The team of true warriors was forced to step forward towards the devil. The complexion of the team members was getting worse and worse. Grendal, who had come to his senses, somehow encouraged his comrades.
“Everyone, wake up! You just have to work a little harder!”
However, as the magi grew thicker and thicker, the team members began to scream in pain as if they couldn’t stand it any longer. It seemed to be reaching its limit.
“I can’t go. I can’t go any further. Damn I don’t want to die If you go, you will die!”
Bruce finally broke down. Jepopo also collapsed. Ludwig just yelled at me saying she was crazy. But now I couldn’t do anything with words. They were so deeply engulfed in fear.
Jihyo lightly wiped his face with his hand. Still, it was fortunate that Ludwigne survived intact.
It was the first time the warrior knew that witch’s blood was so useful in hunting demons. It has the downside of being overly excited sometimes, but once you get used to it, you’ll be able to control it later.
Now the captain had to make a choice. It seemed that it was too much to drag the teammates. He called Grendal.
“Grendal.”
“Yes, chief.”
“I am waiting here. Only me and Ludwig will come and go.”
“… Are you okay? Are you a demon?”
“Anyway, this devil is only mind-boggling. He can kill even a small child if he is approached.”
Of course, getting there wasn’t as easy as it sounds. I had to overcome all sorts of mental attacks, as well as visions and hallucinations, to reach it. Of course, it was absolutely impossible with some mental strength. The devil is not called the devil for nothing.
Ji-hyeok is pretending to be fine now, but like his teammates, he is under severe mental attack. His lethargy, indolence, anguish, and hallucinations plagued him. If it weren’t for his blunted feelings, he would have already succumbed to the demon Darofim’s mind attack.
“Grendal. Take care so you don’t get into trouble. Trust and entrust got it?”
“All right. Don’t worry here.”
The captain moved alone with Ludbine.
Do I really have to do this?
Why do I have to buy this high school student?
Damn, just go back
It’s like fuck, really.
Puppies. Fuck you guys
I want to kill them all.
Why should I be like this?
Let’s give up
Let’s just give up and be done.
Despite the endless agony and anguish, Jihyeok kept his mouth shut and moved forward. The hallucinations and hallucinations that plagued him intensified.
– Kyaaaaa
– Search
– Run away, run away
– Kyaaaaa
Ludwigne, who had witch’s blood, seemed to be affected by it. Her body started to tremble.
“Ludbine. She perseveres even when it’s hard. You should be too.”
“… Yes.”
One foot, one foot.
Even though it was never far, it felt like there was no end in sight. Ahead, in the pitch-black darkness, it seemed as if the devil’s sneer could be heard.
Fuck.
This fuck.
Want to stop
I want to go back.
It’s tough.
I want to stop.
Negative emotions pierced Jihyeok’s chest nonstop. In the end, Ludwigne stood tall first. She gasped for her breath.
“Captain… , It’s hard. I, now, can’t go.”
“No. Let’s go. Hurry. Are you going to piss me off?!”
… Ugh
Ludwigne forcibly moved one step at a time from the captain’s scolding. She didn’t want to be hated by him.
The two men and women gritted their teeth. It took a very long time to take one step. Ugh ugh
The light sphere was about to fade.
“To Ludbine–!!”
Jihyeok reached out to Ludbine and squeezed her trembling little hands. Ah-! She looked at the captain.
“I have don’t worry. I will always be by your side let’s go. Come with me.”
The red-haired girl grabbed the captain’s warm hand. Suck! She lit up her orb again.
“Captain… !”
“Here it is.”
The man and woman took one step at a time, as if they were going through a raging snowstorm. Magi was now as thick as air.
At one step, indolence,
In two steps, sorrow,
In three steps, resentment,
At your feet, fear,
At five steps, despair gripped my ankles and sagged.
It cycled constantly.
Don’t do it.
No, you have to
Why do I have to
Because I have to.
Doesn’t it sound like fucking shit?
It doesn’t sound like a dick.
Then don’t do it.
Then who does it?
Someone will do it
No one said
Damn, then the world is ruined.
Then you’ll have to do it again anyway. … And it’s a dog. Don’t be like a dick, get off.
“Dae, Jang, Neim… !”
Ludwig finally couldn’t come any further and stopped and sat down on the floor. She repeated that the sphere of light brightened and faded.
Seebaaaaal… !
In the end, Ji-hyeok let go of Ludbine’s hand. She had to go alone. Shocked at the loss of her captain, she let out her screams.
“Don’t go aaaaa!!! Don’t leave me and go——–!!!”
The sphere of light was gradually fading. But Jihyeok didn’t care. After all, I saw where the devil was.
Soon the light went out. Aaaaa Ludbine screamed. But Jihyeok kept walking.
I’m behind anyway
You’re all going to
Foolish creature bastards!
Haha
Struggle in pain forever!
Jihyeok pulled out the holy sword.
His palms groaned.
Ten steps left.
Do you think you can do it?
Like you
Just give up and search.
That’s comfortable
Aren’t you fucking little kids?
Just die
Jihyeok didn’t stop. I couldn’t see anything, but as I could see, it moved without hesitation.
Tack tock.
Something was stuck in my foot. He seemed to be bony. They must have been dead after summoning the demon Darofim. Cheap guys to look for.
… After six or seven steps, Darofim became desperate.
I guess I didn’t know that he would break through here.
What is this guy why don’t you stop
How does a failed creature hold up?
Even the same demons don’t like themselves?
The demon Darofim now began to seduce this insignificant creature. If you stop, you can live in happiness forever. The creatures showed the illusions that they just liked.
Money, power, females.
But the guy didn’t stop.
Eight steps.
He said he would die if he came. You will forever wander in the dark, unable to die!
Nine steps.
Do not come. Die. Die.
You are going to die—————-!!!!!
… And ten steps.
“You fucking devil.”
Jihyeok swung his holy sword in the dark.
Once, twice.
– Aaaaa!!
The demon’s tearing scream rang out. Magi shuddered. At the same time, Ludbine also screamed.
… The demon Darofim screamed for so long before slowly disappearing.
Jihyuk gasped for breath.
The mental pain was severe. … But I had to overcome. He was the captain of a team. If he collapsed, everyone was dead.
The captain called Ludbine.
“Ludbine, Ludbine eh—!!”
A faint sound was heard in the small panting.
“… I’m here. Captain…”
“Keep talking.”
Jihyeok groped through the dark. He was so completely pitch black that he could not see anything in front of him.
Then, not far away, an orb of light floated up. Next to him, I saw Ludbine with a gaunt face.
“Ludbine.”
“… Big, blind…”
She was trembling. The sphere of light also flickered faintly.
“Let’s go. Hurry.”
The red-haired wizard had a hard time, but they didn’t have much time right now.
The demon Darofim has disappeared. Of course, there was no way the other two demons couldn’t feel the energy. So I had to get out of here right now.
“Hurry up, hurry up.”
“Yes.”
Still, it wasn’t physically difficult, so I was able to move at a quick pace somehow. Whether it’s mental pain or whatever, you can feel it only after living it.
The two walked down the aisle again. The road that seemed like a thousand miles earlier was much shorter than expected.
“Captain-!”
She exclaimed as she saw the two busily approaching. Jihyeok saw Jepopo holding a magic ball, not a torch, and asked where he got it. Then Bruce laughed awkwardly and scratched his cheek with his finger.
“Ah, that magic suddenly exploded and all the torches went out. Oh, this… , Well, there was a magic orb in the room, so I thought it wouldn’t matter if I brought it, so I secretly took it.”
The scar guy, who was caught trying to sell it secretly, sneakily noticed the captain.
Jihyeok smiled.
“Good job.”
If it wasn’t for this, they would have been trembling in the dark. Somehow the ironic stealing seemed to help.
“Is everyone awake? … Is there anyone who can’t go?”
“No, chief.”
Fortunately, the team members did not suffer from aftereffects like Ludbine. After the demon Darofim disappeared and the demonic energy faded, fortunately they returned to their original state.
Grace, in particular, felt so ashamed of how shameful he had been for the rudeness he had committed, and he really wanted to bite his tongue and die. He’s been scolding the captain and even getting kicked by Ludbine. … Face was literally shattered.
“I… , Captain, that…”
Grace stuttered and tried to make an excuse, but Jihyeok shook her hand and stopped her.
“Do it next time. Urgent now Come on, move!”
Jihyeok quickly got into formation and she moved at a brisk pace. Fortunately, thanks to her magic orb that Bruce stole, her field of vision was secured.
They moved at a quick pace. Everyone drew their weapons and stood guard over their front and back. Bruce felt a chill run down his spine and his balls quivered.
“Sir.”
Jihyeok told Ludbine to tell her right away if she felt something. As soon as she uttered the word, her red-haired maiden called out to her captain.
“In front of the captain!”
This fuck
Jihyeok turned left in the middle of the road. Now everyone has changed to a light jogging step. Grace and Ludwigne were already out of breath because of the luggage they were carrying.
“Hold on a little!”
The captain moved along the road, drawing a schematic in his mind. It was like a maze, but there were no dead ends. This meant that no matter where you fell, you were connected to the first entrance.
They turned right again. And kept going Jihyeok looked behind her often to make sure her teammates were all right.
The breathing of the two women became rougher than before. Grace seemed to be at her limit.
“I’m the captain—!”
Ludbine exclaimed. There was something ahead.
Magi became angry. There were no exit holes on either side. However, if you go back and make a mistake, you could be blocked by the devil both in front and behind.
Had to pierce Jihyeok gripped his holy sword tightly.
“Fight-!”
Woo woo woo woo.
The fierce demon engulfed them.
“Everyone take your seats!”
Bruce, who was behind, stepped forward and stood next to Jihyeok, followed by Jepopo. After that, Grace and Ludwigne prepared healing and magic, and at the back, Grendal hung an arrow on the string of the giant hornbeam.
Soon the devil appeared.
It was like a flowing black velvet curtain. Inside the deeply pressed hood, a jet-black abyss could be seen. It held a huge scythe in its bony, black hands.
– Ooooo.
A low, eerie scream pierced their ears relentlessly. Ugh Everyone frowned. In an instant, the goal was tingling.
It was the shadow demon, Krynto.
Jihyeok called Ludbine.
“Ludbine, prepare your magic. Zepopo, Grendal, you guys don’t attack, just keep the two of you. Bruce, hang on here until the end.”
“Yes, chief.”
Scar Gargantuan chewed his teeth and slammed the iron shield to the floor. It was an expression of will to persevere.
He was a guy who couldn’t work without mana attacks anyway. Zepopo and Grendal were meaningless even if they intervened.
Jihyeok broke his neck and stepped forward. Ludbine chanted fire magic.
“It goes away quickly.”
At the same time, a ball of fire flew towards the demon and exploded.
– Whoaaaaa
The demon hit by the fireball went mad.
