Changed Body 125

Chapter 125 – Necessity (7)

The five senses, which were blocked for an instant, return one after another.

As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was countless skeletons waiting to get out.

Through the gaps in the empty ribs, the surrounding landscape also gradually comes into view.

The dark ground and the dark night sky, where cross-shaped tombstones made of rotten tree branches are erected densely.

The message window that popped up in front of my eyes helped me to clearly recognize where this place was.

[You have entered the haven of the dead.]

The haven of the dead.

It’s a plausible name, but in the end.

“… You’re talking about a cemetery.”

The moment I recognize the situation, the rotten smell that has been hovering at the tip of my nose starts to vibrate.

“Ugh.”

The undertrained body screams.

I don’t know how long.

To smell such a rotting corpse and react so violently.

“Ugh… , Nauseous.”

He tried to soothe the backflow and aimed his sword at the skeletons closing the distance.

“… Is there a place to relieve stress right here?”

Annoyed in many ways, the skeleton he faced in a very angry state was nothing more than a toy to relieve stress, nothing less.

It twists and turns ferociously like a wolf burrowing into a herd of docile sheep.

He cut off the head of the skeleton that was rushing in from the left, and shattered it with a fist blow at the skull of the skeleton that swung his sword from the right.

Thoroughly ignoring the magic he had cultivated so far, he thoroughly uses only his body.

All magic is good, but it’s a pity that the hand taste is a little off.

“Whoa….”

After breaking a lot of bones, I’m finally relieved of my anger.

Oh, and that doesn’t mean everything is solved.

Even now, in my head, I’m thinking about how I can feed him shit.

A clear answer is not forthcoming.

I can’t help it because it’s not at that stage in the first place.

Knowing the enemy and knowing yourself is the way to answer anything, but since you know nothing about the opponent, you have no choice but to do that.

“For now….”

Let’s deal with what’s right in front of us.

The most urgent thing is to quickly clear the dungeon and return to Yoo-jung, who will be waiting outside.

Revenge is the only thing I can do now.

Originally, a plan is a law in which you need to know something about the enemy to establish it.

So let’s just hold grudges and let go.

When he finds out what he wants to achieve through me, the time for the revenge blood battle that I have been waiting for will also come naturally.

“Okay, I’m done thinking.”

After neatly pushing through my organized thoughts, I stepped forward, stepping on the rotten ground.

Dark purple-colored magical energy is wrapped around the cross tombstone made of rotten tree branches.

Just as expected.

Patter!

If you pass by, as if you’ve been waiting for it, a hand with rotten flesh sticking to it rises from the soil.

The main character of the apocalypse, the zombie, rises from the ground.

The number of zombies that broke the tombstone was about fifty.

“Oh, that’s strange.”

Something is strange.

Apparently, when I counted the tombstones, they did not amount to fifty.

“Did they even share a coffin… ?”

Surprising.

“It’s not a share house, it’s a share grave….”

It is clear that zombies were ahead of their time.

I miss you… !
Krukreuk!

Zombie neighbors downstairs who have had their sleep disturbed rush at them as if protesting.

There are no apologies.

Because I was also a victim who was forcibly brought here in the first place.

It is very simple to neutralize an already dead moving zombie.

Cut off all the limbs to make it impossible to do anything, or cut off the head neatly.

It splits the tougher skin than expected and separates the head and body.

Alas!

The body, which has lost its head, flounders as it pleases and then falls to the ground.

He constantly swung his sword at the zombies flocking in all directions.

Using the principle of the hand-flowing sword that Seo-yeon has been copying at will recently, she decapitates naturally with flowing water movements, and then cuts the throat of another zombie.

Chow!

Finally, he neatly cut the last zombie’s neck.

It took about 10 minutes to separate the heads and bodies of nearly 50 zombies.

By the time the movement of the body, which had collapsed on the floor and struggled with its limbs, had subsided.

A rusty iron door opens to a large stone chamber at the end of the cemetery.

I’m sorry –

The sound of rusty metal spewing feels like the sharp screams of the dead.

That must be the boss room for this dungeon.

Wiping the foreign substances on the sword with water created using magical powers, he went inside.

A dark room where it is difficult to see anything.

To observe the surroundings, create a light source and lift it up to a high place.

「Light.」

A light source emitting pure white light finally began to illuminate the dark interior of the stone chamber.

A sarcophagus carved out of stone is placed inside the stone chamber, which was randomly piled up with rough and crude stones.

Not just one, but twenty.

The magical energy that had been wildly running around the inside of the stone chamber seeped into the sarcophagus.

At the same time, the lid of the sarcophagus, which had been tightly closed, fell to the floor with a loud sound.

Cooong! Boom!

The monster finally revealed is a skeleton.

However, it is quite different from the ones that were cut down like rice straw a while ago.

Skeleton’s grade can be known through the weapon held in the hand and the bones.

Thick, hard bones with no incontinence, and rust-free edged weapons that glistened with light.

Fortunately, the bones are not pure white.

Considering these points, the grade of the estimated skeleton is at least C+ to B-.

Skeletons rattled and raised their bodies around the sarcophagus in the middle.

It is the boss of this dungeon that wakes up in the gap between his subordinates.

A ‘headless knight’ holding his head in his hand instead of on his neck.

“… Dullahan.”

A body that is well over 2m rises from the sarcophagus.

As soon as the red eyes popped out, the skeletons around them started marching towards them as if they had been waiting for them.

“Mmm.”

I think of the best way to deal with them.

It is impossible to decapitate them one by one like before.

It is still not enough with this body to withstand all the attacks of Dyurahan and nineteen B-class skeletons.

The moment you are surrounded, you can see that the victory is cut in half, no, less than that.

Then, the only thing left is to run away with a big movement so as not to be surrounded and strike them down.

Click click click

He started playing hide and seek with the skeletons, who rushed at him with cheerful bone sounds.

She moved her body along the wall of the stone chamber, narrowly dodging the tip of her spear and sword, which were thrust out vigorously.

Dyurahan’s most threatening attack, rather than avoiding it, stopped for a while and defended it.

Quaang-!

“Sigh… !”

Every muscle in his body screams as he tries to block an attack from a giant body over 2m tall.

In fact, the reason why it can end like this is because the muscles of this body have tremendous elasticity that others can’t even dream of.

After removing the variables that could be the worst for me, I immediately move my body again.

It’s not just running away.

On the other hand, they are preparing a trump card to end them at once, so as not to be surrounded.

Right away… , Through magic power.

It goes back and forth between the skeletons that are being squeezed in all directions and binds the mana.

The thin thread of magical power entangled here and there in their hard bones.

Since it is a thread of magical power visible only to me, it has no compulsory binding force, but this is not the purpose in the first place.

This is just a fuse.

To ensure that the flames that will continue to burn until the entangled opponent turns to ashes are transferred well.

It’s been 20 minutes since I ran away from them.

“Hoo-wook, whoo-wook… !”

Unlike me, who was drenched in sweat like a drowning mouse due to tension and great movement, at first glance they don’t seem to have changed at all.

But that’s what happens when you see it with normal eyes.

All the guys I see are tying thin threads of magical power all over their bodies.

If it were a hunter or a higher-ranking monster who could feel magic, you would have felt it right away, but unfortunately, they don’t have the means to feel magic.

“Whew.”

Take a breath and stand still.

The preparations are over.

All that remains is to light the prepared fuse.

Leaving only a handful of magic power to prevent magic exhaustion, it gathers all the remaining magic power and creates a small lump of burning flame.

A high-powered flame created by compressing and compressing a large burning flame.

I divided it into several branches and sent it on the thread of magic holding it.

「Endless Flame.」

A spark runs through a fuse that can only be seen by my eyes.

Eventually, the flames wrapped around the skeleton’s body and burned quietly without making a sound.

All that can be heard is the angry cry of Dyurahan, the only vocal organ left.

That’s it-!

I deal with Dyurahan, who rushes at me while preventing my body from burning as much as possible with magical power.

Quaang!

When I blocked the sword, it suddenly came to my mind.

This sword… , I bought it as a gift from Yujeong.

“… Aren’t the teeth already gone?”

I hurriedly checked the blade, and luckily the tooth was not missing.

“Whew!”

As expected, the weapon made by that inspiration is the best in terms of durability, if nothing else.

“But in case you don’t know….”

Let’s drain the sword’s power to the surroundings as much as possible so that the sword doesn’t get damaged and get the sword safely.

Enraged by rage, he forgot even the swordsmanship he had polished during his lifetime, and while dealing with Dyurahan, who rushed at him, all the skeletons that were burning while standing tall disappeared.

The only thing left where they were was a handful of ashes.

At the same time, Dyurahan also reached its limit.

Grrrr… !

Flames are gradually digging into the body of the guy who vomits up overwhelming emotions.

One knee kneels, one hand burns and scatters as black ash.

The large sword held in his thick hand fell to the floor with a loud noise.

When the flames finally submerged even the head I was trying to keep out of touch.

He laid his huge body on the floor with arsenic.

Flutter!

After confirming that the black magic power, meaning the death of a creature, was scattered, he couldn’t hold it any longer and sat down on the spot and breathed.

“Whoa… !”

If he had held out a little longer, I might have lost my head on the top of my neck like him.

It was so breathtaking.

He only had a handful of mana, and his stamina had long since run out.

It feels like he endured with a sharpened mental strength.

“Okay….”

After recovering his physical strength to the extent that he could barely move, he stood up straight away.

Now is not the time for me to be doing this.

He took the greatsword lying next to the ashes as a trophy.

Even if this is not enough, I wonder if I can take care of a few hundred.

I dragged the greatsword to the floor and lightly opened the door that was firmly locked on the other side of the entrance to the stone chamber.

A safety room that announces the completion of the dungeon.

However, there is one thing that is different from usual.

The shape of the statue located opposite is very different from the general one.

If the original statue had the feel of a benevolent goddess bestowing grace, the statue erected in front of her had the form of a god of death with a sharp scythe in her hand, ready to take the lives of those who kneel before her.

“Only one statue has been changed, but something is spooky….”

She trembled at the cool feeling as she approached her statue.

The statue’s scythe wouldn’t suddenly hit her neck, as she continued her anxious imagination.

A dark red light that is quite different from usual embraces the body.

[Successfully cleared the dungeon.]

[Ability rewards are given based on the user’s actions.]

[Magic power increases by 4.]

[Health level increases by 3.]

[Strength level increases by 3.]

[Agility level increases by 3.]

“…… ?”

I guess I’ve caught a bug.

Usually, when attacking a C-class dungeon, even if the stats go up by 1 to 2, it’s a good thing, but now I downloaded 13 stats at once as a reward.

“Does this make sense… ?”

I tried to understand it based on common sense, but soon gave up.

“Let’s see if it works here, what.”

Was there anything that happened to me today that could be understood with common sense?

When I thought about it, this kind of compensation seemed insignificant.

“Now, finally….”

It’s time to get the key to that bastard that the message was talking about.

He opened the lid of the box lying quietly on one side.

Inside the large box are a worn-out key and….

“Slime… ?”

On the other side of the key, a black slime the size of a palm wriggling.

I saw it for the first time.

The slime that came out of the treasure chest, that size, and even the color.

“Heh heh, indeed.”

I can’t help but laugh now.

The yellow eyes, which were stamped round on the black paper, stared blankly at me.

I stretched out my fingers and gently touched the boy’s body.

“Oh oh….”

It feels like touching the surface of pudding.

At the same time, the guy changes his eyes into 〉 〈 shapes and drops them once.

Feels good and looks good.

“Mmm.”

One worry casts a scale in my head.

Should I save him or kill him?

It bothers me that I am doing the killing of a monster, and I am worried that I came out of a treasure chest.

“It came from a treasure chest, though….”

In the past, I would have thought that I had to kill at least one form of a monster unconditionally, but since I’ve been through a lot of abnormal things lately, I think this guy might really be a reward.

“Yeah, how could I be here if it wasn’t a reward?”

By the time the strands begin to form in the direction of saving them and taking them out.

The guy who shivered happily suddenly starts crawling around inside the box.

Every time he pushed his body away, he was so cute that he struggled. While staring at him in awe, he reached the old key that was also placed in the box.

He belatedly reminded that he was running out of time and tried to leave with the slime and the key in his hands at the same time, but something absurd happened.

The slime guy, who was procrastinating while conveying a pleasant touch to the palm of his hand, suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the key in one bite.

“?”

… If that’s the case, I’m completely out.
