Chapter 1420 – Baekgye
Currently, I was holding my breath and trying to figure out the wizards’ scouting time, skills, major magic, etc.
In my mind, I wanted to check the errands first.
However, if I get caught by the magic tower, a battle will break out, and if I don’t know it, I have to get hit. As I didn’t check their magic or skills, there is a high chance of getting hit one-sidedly, so it’s better to check now.
Even for non-magicians, the dungeon itself must be very dangerous as it is said to be the heart of the Black Earth, the worst land.
If I check the dungeon first and encounter a swarm of monsters, I might become exhausted and have to return to the village without the stamina to carry out the ‘operation’, so I plan to assume the worst case scenario and make sure to check the magicians’ strength.
I watched the wizards’ movements until evening.
I looked at it for a few hours. They were not fighting all the time, but were fighting every time the field was filled with ‘Human Shadow’ monsters.
Will it be efficient?
Since they didn’t want to waste each other’s strength for no reason, they waited for the monster to kick in so they could hunt as well.
Meanwhile. Although the magic tower owners were not visible, there were wizards who stood out and were quite charismatic.
Each of them is like a captain, leading numerous wizards.
Among the captains, the one who stood out the most was a woman with flowing blonde hair, even though acrid smoke was thick and stones were flying around her.
He shot out several yellow spheres with a confident smile, and the sight of something like a laser or shield forming from the spheres looked very cool to my eyes.
“Damn it!! Erilgear is here!”
“Retreat first!!”
Looking at the horrified reactions to the blonde wizard, it was clear that he was a man of great skill.
However. It may be unexpected, but you know what.
I am a man who does not easily forget grudges or favors.
Among those who wanted an intangible body like me, there was definitely a bitch named ‘Erylgear Fault Lucia’.
She was also said to be a disciple of the Yellow Tower Master, and coincidentally, she was also using yellow magic, which showed a distinct presence on the battlefield.
Of course, a wizard belonging to the Red Tower doesn’t only use red magic, but my intuition told me that it was that bitch.
Ah. I want to kill them all.
However, it is impossible for me to annihilate the wizard alone.
If the operation goes as planned, everything will work out… But something more is needed.
I remembered the favor I asked Teiria before I came here.
Her personality, self-esteem, etc. Considering many things… I wonder if we can barely make it on time.
Thinking that I had a good understanding of wizards, I went to check out the underground part of the black earth.
Depending on the environment here. The time you have spent so far will be in vain, or you will taste sweet honey.
First of all, it seems like the first hurdle has been passed.
A dirty big hole and the stairs leading to it.
Definitely on the first basement floor. In black earth terms, it would be heading to the second floor.
Other than the stairs visible a bit far away, the only space to go down is a distant cliff.
I thought there might be wizards camped out at the entrance to the second floor, but surprisingly there was no one there.
What. This isn’t all that good.
Achieved the goal while sucking honey on the first floor. If growth slows down, we will have to go to the second floor next, but it is strange that no one is guarding such an important place.
It’s probably one of two things.
There are wizards hiding somewhere.
That entrance itself is incredibly dangerous.
I walked to the entrance while maintaining my stealth skills.
Even though it is quite far away, I feel the cold.
Down the stairs. I saw complete darkness…
“Hmm…”
A unique sense of gamer struck me.
I picked up a nearby rock and threw it towards the stairs.
Whick!
Fuuuh-!
Creep! Quack-!! Honey.
“…”
It’s a surprise.
If the boulder didn’t work, I was thinking of throwing a fireball or using a skill, but I never thought it would react right away.
The black thing that was thought to be the darkness of the underground came out and wrapped around the rock like a tongue, and immediately turned into a sharp thorn, breaking the rock into small pieces and swallowing it underground.
I kept throwing rocks.
About 10 minutes later. It has been confirmed that the stairs that appear to lead underground are swallowed within a radius of 10 meters every 20 seconds, regardless of whether they are living or non-living.
And the series of swallowing movements is very fast.
Even I, who am at a unique level among those who are gray, can barely see the speed.
That means no one has gone down to the second floor and is still farming.
The entrance looks like that, so what a magical place it must be down there.
I want to see how they would react if I bombarded them, but if I did that, I would probably get caught by the magic tower.
They probably left this place unattended because they thought that no one would be able to enter the Magic Tower unless there was a tolerable attack, and that even if they tried to enter, the attack on those stairs would be noticeable from afar.
…But… If you look at it through the eyes of a gamer, this feels out of place, right?
It is said that the black earth is the most vicious hunting ground in the white world, but that is probably just a story.
The level of the first floor I saw was level 130-150, which is a level where you can move around at an appropriate level.
Does it make sense to place such a monster at the entrance to the second floor?
Maybe. That’s not the road.
It’s a trap.
Maybe it’s a hidden route that requires special means.
In my opinion, there is another way to go down to Simbu.
At least. The most senior enemy tower wizard I tortured earlier doesn’t have the skills to break through that.
First of all, he didn’t even know where the entrance was.
I’m sure it’s because I’ve blown it on my body as well.
Ji was shaking as if he had seen it in person, but perhaps he had seen video magic that brought to life what other people had experienced.
Ruler. Then where is the entrance?
I remembered that the design of the White Egg game was very similar to the design of the soul game genre, and soon I was heading towards a cliff.
That game is. There were many cases where places that didn’t seem to be roads actually turned out to be roads.
Han Si-young, who sometimes came to my house to play games, said, “No, you bastard. Is this the road? Is it the road?” She said, almost to the point of accidentally hitting me.
I like it because it’s fresh… Anyway, that bitch.
As I explored the edge of the cliff, I smiled.
Found.
They probably didn’t place the fake entrance for no reason, so I thought there was a path near that entrance, but bingo.
I found it sooner than expected.
There is a pitch black darkness below that people who are afraid of heights can never look down. Very faintly, I could see a space to step into.
I didn’t feel afraid.
Monsters are difficult, terrain isn’t a big problem for me. Even if you leave here, there is a way to survive.
Maybe. Skills and the like won’t work, but my physical abilities alone will be enough to survive.
I took a careful step and fell about 5 meters.
Widely!!
I smiled again at the definite feel of the earth on my feet.
There were several more steps like the ones I was currently stepping on, and I went down them step by step.
Then, at some point, the foothold ended and only a distant cliff remained.
I scratched my head and looked around, wondering if there was a platform I hadn’t seen behind me. I found something in the black darkness.
It was a cave.
Bingo.
Throbbing!!
Is it because I was excited?
Or is it because it took nearly a full day?
Maybe it’s both, but the scar on Twiggy’s stomach that was carved by F***ing Tom is starting to sting.
But the excitement was stronger than the pain.
My heart is pounding even in the middle of enemy territory.
Feeling like an adventure. Good.
Really. If it weren’t for this situation, I would be thoroughly enjoying the game of White Eggs.
I walked into the cave.
The cave was narrower than expected, with five people able to walk side by side.
Speaking of being underground, I was thinking of the useless, large, stinking land I saw in the dwarven sacred place, but it felt unfamiliar.
And. Everywhere in this dark cave.
Right under my nose. Above your head, on the wall in the corner. Monsters are hiding everywhere.
I walked along, trying not to provoke them, and soon I reached a dead end.
“Hmm.”
This narrow place is probably not the boss room…
Before I reached the end, I stopped and slowly stretched out my feet.
Plump.
As a test, I kicked the ground and sensed that the ground in this area was a little weak. He grinned and took a step forward.
Warrrr-!!
The moment the floor collapsed, I jumped back and avoided falling.
Rumbling… I looked down while listening to the sound of a pile of rocks falling down there, and saw a deep hole and a rock so small that I could barely step through the hole sticking out.
And. Deep and narrow
You may also develop claustrophobia that you didn’t have before.
I giggled and took a step forward without hesitation.
I checked the surroundings carefully the entire way down.
The unknown boss I heard about from the wizards of the Red Tower that I am currently looking for. I heard that ‘crows’ are very persistent.
I don’t know to what level, but I provoked him into a fight with the wizards. I want to take advantage of this opportunity.
But if I get caught by the boss first in this narrow cave… It won’t be very good.
I moved with inhuman-like movements, using not only the running path but also walls and the ceiling as stepping stones.
Of course, he planned a route in his head that would allow him to move quickly and run away as quickly as possible when encountering a boss.
Widely.
Bottom. Another spacious space appeared.
Far in front of me, what looked like black plant stems were spreading out in all directions.
A few stems were pointed downward.
Given the circumstances, I guess I’m going down by stepping on that.
I’m scared.
I confidently climbed onto the leaf and looked down.
We’ve come down quite a bit, but how deep is this depth?
And what I saw as I looked down was… A ‘playground’.
What appeared to be a state-of-the-art playground from my original world, not suitable for a fantasy world, loomed far below.
A normal person would have only seen that far.
But my eyes are special.
Kaits. Intangible. My eyes, which the monster king recognized, caught a small being on the playground.
“Crow…?”
A black shadow-like crow with a very large head was dozing off on a chair that looked like a baby would sit on it.
It was a cuteness that warmed my heart on the inside. I felt something strange and powerful from that being.
Could it be that… The boss?
But that wizard crow made it seem like it was very big. It was at most the size of a human child, right?
What should I do?
It will take quite some time to get down there.
If there was a path going down like before, I could go down fairly quickly, but it didn’t seem like this white world would let me go that easily.
In the Land of Stinking, no matter how high the cliff is, there are Kaiemon and others, so all you have to do is jump off. I never thought I would miss that bastard.
…Then. Should we attack here?
Although my specs have been greatly reduced to white, I have the skills now.
I am a skill. Activate ‘Shooter’.
When using this skill, the projectile extends far away.
You have to figure out how to aim, and for me, aiming is easier than a piece of cake.
Before I attack. Time for wizards to fight. In other words, we calculated whether it was time for the monsters to respawn.
And after deciding that now would be roughly the right time, I aimed at the crow and stretched out my hand.
Good luck!!
Fireball.
Pow!!
The flame emitted from my hand goes down. Headed down.
It was dark except for the playground at the bottom, and for a moment, my heart felt scary.
Snail-like things were clinging to the wall reflected in the flames, and the black energy that was emitting seemed unusually strong.
For me, who had been considering climbing for the first time in a while with Plan 3, it was a scene that I couldn’t help but feel horrified.
I can’t believe you don’t notice those messy things.
I never thought having limited energy would be so uncomfortable!
The problem is that the snails recognized the flame and looked up.
Ah.
You saw me.
Clumping. Coo. Coo.
I heard sticky sounds coming from all directions and I drew my sword.
Okay. It’s no fun if you take it easy.
Let’s see how much experience the monsters on the second floor give.
That moment.
Pop.
A small sound echoed from below.
A being that I had forgotten for a while. A small spark touched the crow’s head.
The fireball’s firepower weakened in the middle.
That moment when I wonder if I can even feel it… He’s flashing! I opened my eyes and looked up.
It was creepy.
Those eyes.
The huge, crow’s eyes had a grotesque appearance, like dozens of human eyes crumpled together.
And.
Woah-!!
The guy’s body got bigger.
From the size of a baby to the size of a house. From the size of a house to like an apartment… No. Isn’t that a bit over the top?
The fact that the last apartment looks bigger is an optical illusion.
That guy… Came flying so fast that I could barely stop myself!!
Huuuuung-!
Glide like a typhoon.
Papa pa pa pa paak!!
There was the sound of meat exploding from all directions.
It was the sound of the snails below exploding due to the flapping of the crow’s wings.
Without thinking twice, I turned back the way I came and ran.
Was it worth planning the route? I guess I am strong in crisis situations. The ship moved faster than expected, and rumble! Every place I passed was destroyed.
Chew. That ignorant crow.
You’re going to destroy this large area with just a headbutt?
[Kaaaaa-!!!!]
Tsk tsk tsk tsk.
A roar that makes your whole body go numb, more like a human screaming than a crow.
Even though I felt my stomach throbbing, I didn’t stop moving my feet and hands and reached the first steps I came down from.
I immediately climbed up the scaffolding.
That moment.
[Caw-!!]
Pop!
There is a huge sound of flapping wings. I twisted my body with a sense of crisis.
Shukak-! Puff puff puff puff!!
Something like a sharp wind flew through the air, destroying not only the steps I stepped on but also the steps above.
Was there a monsoon?
That bastard. You’ve been saving it up until now, but you’re only using it now that you have nowhere to run?
You’re smart like a crow, right?
I tried to use the skill in a hurry, but the cliff did not allow the skill.
[Caw-!]
The crow opened her mouth.
Inside the throat, numerous tentacles can be seen… I grinned and lunged at the crow.
Floating-!!
Put your foot on the ‘beak’ part, use it as a stepping stone, and jump up! Flew up into the sky.
[Caw-]
The grotesque eyes of a crow that looks embarrassed, perhaps due to its mood.
The guy’s eyes, which would irritate a trypophobic person, showed a look of wonder as to why my body wasn’t exploding.
You don’t know much about your body either, do you?
Everything that touches your feathers will be pulverized, but your beak seems to be an exception.
Pak!!
Stick your hand into the wall and fix it. Looking down at the crow… I deliberately smirked. He smiled mockingly.
[Caw!!]
Are you pissed?
A crow soaring like a rocket with a tremendous sound.
It must have learned what happened before, but this time it lowered its head, and only when it was about to swallow me did it raise its head and open its mouth.
I twisted my body using air resistance, stayed in the air, and kicked my beak again to fly up.
Using that momentum, I kicked the cliff and continued to fly up quickly, and the crow chased after me, making an angry noise.
The game of tag of death has begun.
Looking at the above, a game of tag will take about 10 minutes.
You. You know what?
Me. Lasted 1000 days in the game of tag.
I tried to hold out longer, but the game limit was 1000 days, so I gave up.
The crow kept chasing me, but it was just a repeat of what happened before.
Finally arrived on the ground.
Food is great. Widely-!!
1st floor above ground. A crow and I flying proudly in the sky.
Just then, in the distance, magic tower wizards could be seen walking towards the monster habitat with solemn faces from all directions.
I’m just going to get honey, but I’m pretending to be solemn.
Several wizards glanced this way, then their faces turned with straight faces or astonishment.
Erylgear Fault Lucia was one of them.
She didn’t zone out though. Soon she raised her wand and screamed something.
Finally, I kicked the crow’s beak with all my might and activated the ‘Leap’ skill.
Wow! Whiooooo!
It flew quickly, instantly dodging among the wizards.
Ruler. You’re a smart crow.
You can tell by first impression whether I’m on the same side as these guys or not…
Food is great!!
High intelligence means.
There are also a lot of emotions.
[Caaaaagh-!!!]
The crow that followed me immediately entered the battlefield of the Magic Tower, and the wizards were swept away by the storm.
