Chapter 96 – Chapter 23. The Devil’s Den.
After being hit by a fireball, the body of the demon Krynto had a hole pierced and then restored again. He screamed and ran towards them.
Jihyeok lowered his body to avoid the flying giant scythe and immediately raised the holy sword. His torso and arms were severed, then he was reattached.
ㅡㅡ!!
Kryn Tor slammed his scythe again. Jihyeok, like a rat, avoided cooking and cooking well.
Then, suddenly, the devil stretched out his left arm and poured his demon energy in the direction of his teammates. It was to block Ludbine’s magic.
Bruce instinctively flicked up his shield to protect Ludbine and himself. Magi hit the shield and caused a huge explosion. The sound of an explosion shook the inside of the catacombs.
“Ah!”
Everyone was caught in the blast and bounced in all directions. Skeletons on the walls also spilled out onto the floor and scattered around in a mess. The sphere of light went out, but fortunately the sphere of magic radiated light. It was fortunate that he stole it from the real castle.
Krynto swung his scythe more vigorously. Jihyeok avoided it and went into his arms. And he swung his holy sword. His torso was cut horizontally and then put back together.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!!
Krynto poured out his demonic energy again. Bruce stood up staggering and quickly raised his shield again to block the demon. Another explosion occurred. The iron shield, which had run out of durability, shattered. Even the scarred Bruce was caught in the blast. The arm holding the shield was broken, and the body was also covered with scars. Also, the lower jaw fell off and flew away. The tongue, which had lost ground, drooped.
Ughhhhh!!
The bastard struggled in pain and shock. Grendal quickly came to her senses and called Grace. My popo has just rummaged through a pile of skulls for his colleague’s missing jaw.
The devil stretched out his hand again. Jihyeok swung his arm twice quickly and cut it off. Fortunately, Maggie didn’t come out. Instead, he countered with a scythe.
ㅡㅡ!!
Jihyeok quickly lowered his head. This time, his scythe brushed through just barely. However, the hero did not lose his concentration and moved like lightning, hissing his holy sword twice, once upward and once downward.
Just in time, Ludwigne, who finished the magic chant, fired a fireball at him. That connection was crucial.
– Whoaaaaa
At the same time as the bastard’s scream, Ludbine glanced back. Ugh-. Suddenly, it felt like something was stabbing me with a needle.
“I’m the captain!”
Ludwigne called out to the captain. Jihyeok noticed that the devil was approaching from behind.
This baal, it’s like fuck… !
It would be a real big deal if they came to Agdali, the demon of pain.
“Everyone run forward!!”
Ludwigne chanted magic again. The pain cutting through his body was getting worse and worse. Ah. I felt in my body that something big was coming.
“What the fuck, what is this!”
The kobold Zepopo, who had found and attached Bruce’s missing chin, rubbed his arms and swung around him. He suddenly felt numb and aching all over his body. Grendal, realizing that there was something wrong with him, put Bruce’s chin on his back and put him on his back.
“Move, come on!”
Of course, there was no way the devil would just watch that. However, as he was once again cut by the holy sword and struck by magic, he stumbled greatly and was pushed against the wall. Taking advantage of that gap, the team members quickly started running forward again. Naturally, Jihyeok fell behind.
Ludbine and Grace’s running speed slowed down. Ugh Jihyeok woke up to the pain that throbbed his whole body. The demon of pain was fast approaching.
“Zepopoo! Carry Ludbine on your back!”
The kobold quickly snatched Ludbine and put it on his back. Jihyeok ran with Grace on his back.
– Kyaaaaa
A terrifying scream erupted from behind.
“Run, keep running, don’t stop and keep running!!”
Jihyeok exclaimed. Grace began to scream and struggle.
“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!”
She scratched her captain’s chest with her fingers, impatient with the pain that seemed to cut her body apart.
“Evil, Dae, Aak, Captain, Ah, Me, Me, Die, Ahhhhh !!
Grace’s body began to tremble. The screams continued.
“Cybaal–!!”
Kobold Zeppopo screamed and ran harder. Everyone complained of pain from the demon Agdali spewed out.
Grace struggled wildly in terrible pain. She even drained her pee with her shivering. She cried out in pain and even scratched the respectable captain’s chest.
“Aaaaa!!!”
Jihyeok could clearly feel her pain behind her back. He jumped a little faster and moved forward. But her struggle was still there. It hurt so much that I couldn’t even pass out.
“Kill me, just kill me uh uh uh, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.”
At least Ludwigne, who had witch’s blood, was a little better than the other team members, but it was a little better, and the pain was the same.
Jepopo trembled with bloodshot eyes and clenched teeth. He knew that if he stopped he would really die, so he had no choice but to keep running even if it hurt like crazy. Then his leg gave way and he fell forward.
Ahh-.
Zeppoppo and Ludbine rolled on the floor. Jihyeok stopped and shouted to Jepopo to get up quickly. Then, unable to overcome her pain, Grace began having seizures. Her eyes widened and her whole body began to twitch. Again, her urine dripped.
“Move quickly, you bastard!!”
The captain shouted Zeppopo showed real superhuman ability and ran again with Ludbine on his back. Jihyeok was also at his limit. It felt as if an arrow had hissed and hit my body. Every time that happened, he forced himself to hold back the moan that was about to burst out of his throat.
They ran again A fork in the road soon appeared. It was left and right.
“Turn left!”
– Kyaaaaa
A demon of pain was screaming in pursuit from behind. Closer than before Jihyeok didn’t even have time to look back. Everyone was out of breath.
In the end, my popo threw his own weapon on the floor. His life was in short supply right now, but it was a waste, and it was not a situation where he would sleep and argue. I had to shed some weight on him.
They ran and ran Ludwig soon began to go mad in pain and chewed on Zeppopo’s shoulder blades.
“You fucking bitch, it hurts me as well, this fuckaaal—-!!!”
-Ahhhhh!
After running for quite some time, I finally saw the entrance. Ah! Jihyeok shouted to go up quickly.
However, going up the stairs was a daunting task. Moreover, all three of them were carrying a heavy load on their backs.
Mandible, mandible, mandible, mandible.
The stairway was filled with the sound of heavy breathing and urgent footsteps. Soon after, a shrieking sound echoed through the stairwell. Agdali, the demon of pain, finally followed me all the way here.
“Run fast, run, jump enough to die!”
Jihyeok shouted at his throat. There was also a limit to maximally protecting demons with mana. He, too, was already suffering from his body being hacked to pieces.
Fuck this… !
Everyone ran up the stairs with all their might. And a light began to appear in the distance.
“Run, run faster—!!”
Jihyeok could feel that the devil followed right behind him. The thump came closer and closer.
-Kyaaaaa!!!
The last one was truly excruciatingly painful. Choking in pain, Grace even foamed at her mouth and went mad. She was covered in scars from her queer who choked her and strangled her throat.
“Aaaaa!!”
After frantically running, Grendal came out of the entrance first. Then Jepopo, and finally Jihyeok threw himself out of the entrance with all his might.
Then Agdali rushed through the doorway and bumped into what looked like a transparent membrane. The demonic grandmother, oozing all over her body, slammed her membranes with her fists and screamed at her.
“Fuck, fuck… !”
Everyone crawled away from the entrance as much as possible. Only then did the pain subside.
– Kyaaaaa
The devil, who lost his prey right in front of his nose, couldn’t leave because of his lingering feelings. He groaned as he repeatedly pounded the membrane with his oozing fists.
Jihyeok put his ear to Grace’s drooping heart. Fortunately he didn’t die. However, he seemed to be completely exhausted, lying motionless and barely breathing.
He lay motionless and gasped for breath. Heoyeon steam bloomed from how much heat radiated from his body.
Mandible, mandible, mandible.
They lay like that for a long time, not saying or doing anything, just breathing.
The demon, Agdali, had given up and returned, so there was no more screaming.
Everyone looked blankly at the sky. The scarlet sky at sunset was beautiful. A few birds were flying sparsely. The situation where I had just been running so fast in excruciating pain and this peaceful scene were not immediately connected, and I felt a sense of disconnection. Everyone couldn’t tell if this was a dream or real life.
“This bastard… , It’s Saksin.”
Zeppopo barely raised his upper body and looked at Bruce who was lying flat. First of all, it was an urgent situation to put off complaints, so the size of the scar had not yet fully recovered. Blood was still dripping from his lower jaw.
“Hey, Bruce. Is the jawline okay? … Dude, I could have given you anything on the floor because I was in such a hurry. Hehe, have you checked?”
“… What the fuck?! My chin is another baby? “
Bruce was startled and stroked his chin. … Looking back, it seemed a bit inconsistent.
“Sir, are you fucking real? Are you kidding? Right? If it’s real, I’ll kill you bastard!”
“Sir, I don’t know, kid. I’m dying in a hurry, how can I check each one?”
“This fuck… !”
“Huh? You should be grateful for finding this little bastard. Are you cursing again?”
“Even if you find the fuck, you won’t have to find the right one!”
Hehe, I’m kidding, you bastard. It’s pretty.”
“Cypal, I was surprised. … Yeah, thank you for finding me, you bastard.”
Jihyeok and Grendal laughed.
They also came to their senses and raised their upper bodies. Grace still passed out and didn’t wake up. Ludwigne crawled around with her gaunt face.
“Dead man, raise your hand.”
“I will die here soon. Hehe.”
“Pack your things and let’s move.”
Everyone barely managed to get their sore feet up. He really was a demon I never wanted to see again.
“Sir, it’s fucking hard…”
Bruce wiped his lower jaw, which was still bleeding, with his hand. A fishy iron smell lingered.
Perhaps it was the first time they had experienced such severe pain, and everyone faltered and faltered. Jihyeok carried the fainting Grace back on his back.
“Ludbine, are you okay?”
“I was sick enough to die, but I’m fine now.”
The pain, as if stabbing his whole body with a knife, was so terrible that his eyes became white. This is how the body can withstand Maggie, but Ludwigne could only imagine how much pain the fainting Grace must have suffered.
The brave team took a long walk and set up a camp far away from the entrance to the catacombs. The new year was about to cross over the horizon.
Everyone was lying flat without a mat, groaning.
“Sir, that devil is really the worst…”
Zepopo murmured. It was a bar that everyone desperately sympathized with. Rather, Darofim, the demon of indolence, was a hundred times better. I was able to hold on to it somehow with my mental strength, but this was not the level of enduring and sleeping. Perhaps, even if it was just a little bit later, everyone would have struggled in pain, unable to resist properly, and devoured by the devil.
While everyone was preparing to camp, Ji-hyeok carried Grace on his back and went into the nearby grass. He took off her pants, which were soaked with her urine, and thoroughly wiped her lower body with a cloth soaked in water. Of course, there was not the slightest bit of selflessness in his hands.
After changing his pants like that, Jihyeok also changed his top and bottom. It was because her urine soaked her clothes.
When the captain picked up the healer again and came out, the other four were grilling dried meat over a bonfire. They hurriedly filled the empty stomach.
The sun soon fell. As soon as everyone was full of energy, they lay down on the rug again.
“Today, just me, Grendal, and Zepopo, let’s stay vigil. Are you fine?”
“Yes, it’s fine, boss.”
Jihyeok said that while pointing his finger at himself, Glendal, and my popo. They nodded, saying no problem. Being vigilant was the right thing to be flexible in accordance with the original situation.
“I will stand in the middle.”
“Good. Then, Jepopo, you stand first. I will stop at Malvern.”
“All right.”
Only then could Jihyeok lay his weary body on the rug. Ugh-. A sigh came out of my mouth.
Numerous stars were twinkling in the already darkened night sky.
… Finally, it’s over.
Jihyeok gazed at the starry night sky for a moment.
A feeling of exhaustion soon set in.
He closed his eyes, listening to the chirping of insects.
The warrior soon fell into a deep sleep.
