Chapter 159 – Attack (4)
*
It was the temple of the goddess.
The priests arrived late due to an untimely problem.
Priests went to the goddess to report what had happened.
“You would have said to bring in the warriors? Why are you alone?”
“That is…”
Tina, the representative of the priesthood, explained to the goddess one by one.
Every time the story progresses, the goddess’ eyebrows crinkle. Her figure did not match the name of a goddess.
Goddess She always showed a gentle side in front of her followers.
The goddess was unable to contain her anger now. She deserved it and she did.
“Really…Really… Did you ask me to come to you on business?”
“…Yes.”
“A warrior? Did the warrior allow such nonsense? It won’t be. Okay! The warrior was not there.
I’m sure that wicked Kerry was talking to herself.”
“…The dragon and the warrior were also there. Moreover… As if that hero was paying attention to Kerry… I apologize for the bad news. Goddess!”
“…”
The goddess was shocked and chewed her fingers.
No matter how bad she was with the hero, she couldn’t believe that the upright hero would allow such a thing.
‘Kerry. Was it a mistake to call that man to another world?’
No. She called because she was in need.
Although Kerry’s arrogant attitude was repulsive, she had no option to leave Kerry out.
Besides, the past that has passed away is not important now. More important things are ahead.
“Hurry. Prepare the wagon quickly. I will go myself.”
The priests tried to dissuade her, saying that the goddess’ authority was falling, but she did not listen to the goddess.
What does authority mean? What does face mean?
Her daughter her is eagerly waiting for her mother her.
*
‘Who is telling my story? My ears are itching.’
Kerry still pretended to be knocked down and peeked through her dungeon.
Inside the dungeon, there was a real panic.
She, of course, expected her party to worry if she fell. But this is a little too much.
“I’m… I’m fine… Everyone…”
She keeps saying in a voice that it hurts but it’s okay, but she doesn’t get it at all.
Please. When the patient speaks, listen!
Natasha almost screamed for something to happen, and Victoria looked calm at first glance, but her pupils her were shaking violently.
It was a bonus to say nonsense to Kerry to cheer up.
Arwen was beside her and only shed tears.
Even Lina, who she believed in…
“Saintess! What are you doing! Do something quickly!”
“…”
Lina was longing for her saintess her, who was uncomfortable with her, for Kerry.
I was grateful for her heart for her, but it would have been better to listen to her saying that she was okay.
‘I’m so sorry.’
I didn’t expect the group to fall into such a big panic. I had to sort things out quickly.
It was then.
“Can’t everyone calm down!”
It was the old woman who screamed and unexpectedly organized the situation at this moment. Is the old woman finally trying to pay for the meal?
“It’s not like your colleague is dead, and what kind of big things are you planning to do when you’re so devastated by the collapse!”
“But… But Grandma… Seobang-nim… Sniff… “
“Isn’t Kerry saying it’s okay! Natasha.”
Good luck! Still, there was someone who listened to me.
You must not miss this opportunity.
Kerry ordered to ego.
‘Ego. From now on, recite what I am saying through the mouth of a saintess.’
[All right. Master.]
At Kerry’s command, the saintess, who had been silent for a while, finally moved.
“The old man is right. Don’t you know that Kerry’s condition doesn’t improve just because she’s upset?”
The party is finally starting to calm down their excitement little by little.
But those eyes were still full of worry for Kerry.
If the saintess said that, she expected that there would be some way.
The old woman next to her said to the saintess.
“Do you know what caused Kerry to collapse? This old man has looked… But she still doesn’t know the cause.”
Of course I don’t know. Because there is no cause.
But I can’t reveal that. Kerry spoke through her surname.
“This is probably the curse of the boss of the dungeon. It’s a curse so secret that even I noticed it belatedly. She really has no face on the subject of being a saint.”
“A curse so secret that even I, the great sorcerer, couldn’t notice… How shady… “
Lina asked with her worried face her.
“It’s probably because the saintess’s power is weakening.”
Lina also knew that her saintess had weakened. She didn’t have to hide it now.
“…There must be an impact. If I had been perfect, there would have been no problem in lifting this curse.
However, as the hero said, I… Am not in a normal state right now.”
“Then… Kerry-sama… !”
As soon as the saintess said something negative, her party fell into panic again.
Kerry, speaking with her saintly mouth her, sighed inwardly.
“Please calm down. Because that doesn’t mean It just means I need time.”
“What method do you have? Holy Maiden.”
At least, the calm Lina asked. Even Lina had a serious expression on her face her.
“It will take time…But it’s a curse I can do enough for.
Just need a safe place to focus on Haeju. Warrior.”
“That would be fine. Then I will guide you to a safe place… “
It was difficult. If Lina decides her place her, she loses her reason for doing this at all.
“No. I will choose the place myself. Fortunately, Elena seems to have sensed Kerry’s crisis and is guiding me.”
When you are in trouble in an absurd, different world, selling the name of the goddess is very convenient.
“Is that so? Fortunately, the. Then I will leave it to the saintess.”
“Yes.”
With this, he secured a justification to visit the place where the remains of the archmage were.
Kerry could clearly see the topography of her dungeon thanks to the eyes of the goddess. She was able to know all sorts of information one after another.
Thanks to this, I was able to find out where the hidden reward was hidden.
Kerry moved on Natasha’s back to her. Natasha sniffled and walked away.
Natasha’s steps her were cautious, as if carrying a treasure on her back.
Thanking her for her consideration her, Kerry whispered softly to Natasha.
“Thanks. Natasha.”
Natasha said, toughly wiping her tears with her hand.
“This is nothing compared to what the West has done for me.”
“…”
Monsters attacked while moving.
Is it because there is no guidance from Kerry?
Or was it because Kerry was broken and the hearts of her warriors were shaken.
The battle was a mess with everyone reacting more sluggishly than before.
However, thanks to the monsters he had caught once before, there was no serious damage.
‘I should get a pendant soon.’
The real challenger of this dungeon is the boss.
It’s not a trap, it’s not a mob. It was as if the existence of the boss itself made this dungeon a legendary grade.
The saintess guided her way as Kerry told her to do.
“Elena says it’s safe at this point.”
Kerry looked around her. Here is the remains of the Archmage.
According to the setting, I don’t think it would have been hidden in such a difficult place.
The Archmage was abandoned at random after the betrayal of his comrades.
I came in to catch the boss of the evil dungeon, but he was killed by the same human.
“Kerry. First of all, don’t worry about attacking and keep your body in order. I will take care of the rest.”
Lina, who noticed Kerry looking everywhere, asked with her worried face her.
It was because Kerry assumed that she was observing her surroundings of her because of her strategy of her.
‘Lina. Don’t look at her like that. Because my conscience hurts.’
Kerry continued to pretend to be sick for the first time in her life. Natasha put her lap on her lap her and stroked her head.
I see Natasha’s eyes filled with worry.
‘I’m so sorry.’
But she couldn’t help it now. This was the only way to stop the party’s terrifying advance.
“Lady. Hurry up and start with Kerry’s condition…”
“All right. Warrior.”
Kerry asked Natasha before starting her treatment.
“Natasha. Could you take a look around? You never know what might be in a dungeon…”
Lina interrupted Kerry.
“Kerry! For now, we need to focus on treatment. I will instruct you to look around, so just think about your body for now.
Saintess. Please treat Kerry as soon as possible.”
“…”
The group who had been sitting anxiously around Kerry dispersed.
Leaving only the saintess pretending to heal.
‘Now you can find it. As per the setting.’
Kerry hoped her party would find something.
During training, she told the party not to take even the slightest trace lightly.
Like bones, for example. Traces of predecessors in the dungeon were important information.
It wasn’t long before. Said Natasha.
“Here are the remains among the bushes!”
At that, Lina approached Natasha.
“Ashes? I’ll have to check it out first.”
“It’s not an ordinary skeleton with nothing to look at…Something…Something is weird!”
“It’s not an ordinary skeleton, what do you mean?”
Victoria also turned towards Natasha. Victoria examined her remains her closely.
Said Victoria, nodding her head.
“…These are the remains of someone who reached a state in his lifetime. In this way, the remains of those who excelled in life radiate mana even after a long time has passed.”
“I see.”
“Probably someone who entered the dungeon like us.
It seems that your skills were great when you were alive… But the last one is really shabby.”
The archmage’s remains were pathetically abandoned.
Only the old wizard’s clothes were left on the skeletal body. I couldn’t even tell where her left arm was her.
“Poor you. She threw herself into attacking the dungeon … But in the end, it must have been her friends ‘betrayal her.
The marks on the clothes are not the monster’s, but the traces of the sword. He stabbed me from behind most likely.”
“…”
Lina looked at the remains of the archmage with pity. But she soon shook her head.
“…I can’t afford to worry about the remains right now.”
That doesn’t work. Kerry raised her hand.
The archmage’s remains had to be collected. Because that’s the condition of the hidden reward.
“If it were the usual Lina-sama, she would have asked to bury her ashes first…
You seem to have no peace of mind right now. Is it because of me? Didn’t even have to ask. It must be because of me.”
“… Kerry.”
“I am okay. Lina. To be honest, you worry so much that it’s burdensome.
I just feel like I’m slightly anemic.”
“…In a dungeon, even small wounds must be cared for. Kerry.”
“Yes. I am well aware. But the saintess is taking care of me, so it’s okay. Bury the remains.
That person may also have entered the dungeon with upright intentions.”
“…”
Lina seemed to be thinking about it, then she nodded her head.
“I understand if Kerry-nim says that. But… Kerry-sama, you have to focus on your treatment.”
Kerry nodded her head. She succeeded! She finally completed the quest’s conditions.
The party dug the ground to collect the remains.
It wasn’t even a job to dig a grave for a person to enter the superhumans who deal with mana.
The recovery of the remains was completed in an instant. A small tomb was created for the archmage.
The party who recovered the remains honored the spirit of the archmage by paying a silent prayer in front of the grave, even though Kerry had not ordered them to do so.
‘As expected, they’re nice girls.’
That was the moment. In an instant, a strong wind blows around the party.
Hui Ik-
Everyone squinted their eyes at the harsh wind. At that time, a vengeful spirit appeared different from the usual vengeful spirits.
It is a translucent white spirit. The appearance of wearing the wizard’s robe and hat pressed down was majestic.
The archmage in the form of a vengeful spirit smiled brightly and disappeared.
Seeing that, Lina murmured softly.
“…Have you reached the Buddhahood?”
The soul that should have been confined to the dungeon was comforted and attained Buddhahood.
But that wasn’t the end.
A light the size of a fist rises from the grave the party buried.
The light moved in front of Lina.
Lina held out her hand to the light, which did not sense her hostility to her.
The light goes out After that, Lina had a pendant in her hand.
It was the archmage’s pendant.
‘It’s finally up!’
After a long struggle, she finally got the item she was aiming for.
The Archmage’s pendant was in Lina’s hand her, but Kerry had no doubts that she would give it to her party if she knew what it was for.
‘Lina. Do you know my heart Did I really work hard to get it? If you don’t give me that, I’m really pissed off.’
Kerry, of course, remained calm on the outside of her.
Lina looked at the pendant in her hand. At that time, her Lina’s eyes her widen.
Although Kerry was shocked by Kerry’s collapse around her this time, Lina was basically a calm and unassuming person.
Lina was surprised. She said while looking at the small pendant in her hand.
“…Okay. This is what came out of here.”
Lina squeezed her pendant with both of her hands. This pendant had meaning.
A man who was called the ruler of mana.
Because it was the pendant that the invisible man always wore.
