Chapter 1436 – Baekgye
There were no deserters.
What can they do?
No matter how proud I am and how arrogant I am, how could I not accept it and give up when my life is at stake right now?
Everyone, including the Red Team and Yellow Team, decided to follow me and walk together on the path of the Red Devil, who left an indelible scar on the White Doctrine, and while I was leaving, I was told to absolutely follow my orders during the expedition.
“He must have been holding a grudge.”
Homun, who was walking side by side, spoke in a dry voice.
“Dre. Your actions were careless. They obviously betrayed us first and betrayed humanity. But if you were going to punish them, you should have punished them later.”
“I’m sorry.”
Homun grinned at my apology.
“But. I felt refreshed inside.”
If you look closely, you can see that the corner of Homun’s mouth is twitching.
I guess I really liked the way the wizards were beaten and gave in.
“Yes. I feel a little relieved too.”
It felt like I wanted to tear my limbs apart, but I couldn’t do that because they were things that had to be used in future battles.
Still, we beat up his face so much that even his parents didn’t recognize him, so let’s be satisfied with that.
“Departure is in an hour?”
“Yes.”
The Archbishop was very helpful and created a warp gate called Black leader.
And now. Miyao of the Black Order is on a business trip and is treating the expedition team I organized.
Also. We have to wait for someone.
Okay. Number of animals.
One of the remaining members of the hero party that entered the White World.
She is here now. She is coming to Faikatsu’s castle.
Her divine power is also classified as power, so I was worried that she might have been consumed by the White World, but fortunately, her divine power appears to be intact.
I thought that my scholar brother had also entered the white world, but the black archbishop confirmed that there was no such person.
He must not have entered the White Realm.
Then Garcinido closed the distance to me.
The feeling of intimidation is no joke as the black-armored figure approaches with great strides.
“Lord Dre.”
“Would you like some money?”
“Yes?”
Garcinido, who truly did not understand, immediately made a confused face.
“Can Lord Raeband really be brought back to life?”
“Yes, Archbishop. The Black Wolf assured you, right?”
Even without his assurances, I am confident.
The part that bothers me is. All of the archbishop’s white things are possible, but only one is impossible.
Soon after, the gates of the castle opened and Marie arrived.
She was wearing her fur coat, hat and gloves. She was very cute.
If Kaitz had seen it, he would have pretended not to see it.
She had the expressionless, cold face of a beautiful woman, but when she saw us, she cried.
“Mr. Raeband really…?”
I walked up to her crying face and patted her shoulder.
“It’s okay. I can live.”
At the end of her words, she patted the top of her hat as if stroking it, and Marie fell. He protested, shaking her hand away.
“Ha, don’t do it!!”
“?!”
Unbelievable.
Little sister… Rebelling against her brother?
I approached Homun and whispered.
“Do I smell now?”
“No?”
“Then why are you doing that?”
“Well…?”
Homun tilted his head.
However, Marie wriggles her body in a strange way.
Her face was also bright red.
“Marie. Where does it hurt?”
“You’re the one who’s sick, right? Let’s look at your abdomen.”
Marie asked to see my wounds, as if asking when she had given up on me.
And then he checked the abdomen and said, wow. She was impressed.
She looked at Nelf, who was sitting friendly with El from afar, and cast her eyes of respect.
“I heard that you healed that terrible wound with white magic.”
“Isn’t it amazing?”
It’s nice to see Nelf’s smile in the distance.
I’m glad that I’ve let go of any guilt or hesitation.
Not long after, each faction. The treatment of the ‘team members’ has also ended.
Before I go to war. We made them familiar with simple positions and words such as ‘deal’, ‘tank’, and ‘hold’.
“Wait a minute. Are you planning to leave for the Black Land right away?”
Kranium growled and said.
This guy is really great too. Even though he was beaten like that, he doesn’t seem to be intimidated.
He’s a shitty bastard, but he’s not a servile bastard.
“You know, Yeodere. The only monsters in this world that are even remotely powerful are…”
“One or two of us have a special gimmick that will definitely incapacitate you.”
Not only is keeping an eye on him, but summoning subordinates is also very intense.
In our conversation, the top owner, the Maving tribe, the red team, the yellow team captain, etc. The leaders gathered around me.
“I think we need to gather more strength. I found a useful skill and combination, so if I have a little time…”
“How much time is a little bit? A month? A week.”
When I asked the question seriously, not sarcastically, Kranium also put on his angry face, thought seriously, and said.
“I’m going to need it this week.”
“I guess that’s about it.”
Cheongtapju agreed.
Kranium’s face crumpled at the sound of his voice, but he didn’t say anything.
“Then that won’t work.”
“Why?”
“Our time is tighter than we think. And above all, the fastest way to grow is through intense hunting grounds and main quests.”
The team leaders agreed with me that they would naturally become stronger when they went to the black earth, but they looked anxious.
But. The tower owners said they had seen that damn crow on the second floor.
That crow was also very strong, so it was worth fearing what the lower layer would be like.
But the hesitation was short-lived.
Just as we were getting ready to leave, the people of Waikatsu shouted.
“It’s the enemy!”
“They’re coming from all around-!!”
Above the sky. As the white eagles roared [Piyooo!], A defensive shield surrounded Faikatsu’s fortress.
The person in charge of the fortress, who was resting in the military tent, came running out in a huff and asked his subordinate.
“What about Sue?”
“At least thousands…!”
The subordinate’s white face showed the seriousness of the situation.
And far away. Tutu tutu tutu in the sky. White snow-like energy bullets began pouring in this direction.
The ‘heavy snowfall’ that the archbishop warned about had begun.
Kukukukuk.
Rumbling.
The fortress vibrates in the white barrage.
While everyone was extremely nervous, I spoke calmly.
“Let’s go.”
There is no need to panic.
It may be a situation where we have to run away or defend ourselves, but for now we just need to get on the warp gate.
“Move~”
Those people who looked dumbfounded at my tense voice followed my instructions and entered the warp gate one after another.
Shuuuk!
As I came out of the warp gate, oh. I was impressed.
“Hoo.”
This is the black earth?
The surroundings are brighter than expected.
Feels like a forest during the day.
Even without green buds, there is a bright atmosphere of nature.
If you look closely, you can see that the small ores are lighting up like daylight.
There were tree roots with leaves attached to the ore, making it look like a forest.
Even wizards say this is the black land? He looked surprised.
I looked around.
I thought there might be that persistent crow.
That crow bastard. He seemed to be more persistent than I imagined, and his abilities seemed outstanding, so you might say he could smell me from a distance.
I’m looking around. Miyao of the Black Order, who briefly joined us, said with a smile.
“This is the third floor.”
Is it the 3rd floor?
That crow seemed to be the boss of the second floor. It must be difficult to get here.
Nothing is absolute, but…
Thud. Thud.
Suddenly, the sound of the ground shaking was heard and everyone got ready for battle.
Amidst the tension, a tree with a huge staff appeared through the ore bushes.
What kind of bullshit is this? It is walking with two arms and four legs attached to a tree. There are no eyes, nose, or mouth.
This game. Do you like it.
Monster. Considering the difficulty of the dungeon, it was difficult, but not unreasonable.
The thoughtfulness of the creator can be seen just by looking at the fact that upon entering the third floor through the Black Archbishop’s invitation event, a mob was placed as a taste.
Fucking bastard.
“Everyone.”
I looked back at the wizards and pointed at the tree.
“Hold that.”
Are we the only wizards? His eyes widened as if to say.
Okay. Just you guys.
Any weapon or skill. There are some things you cannot know unless you try them in practice.
Mabing tribe. Red monster. Yellow filth. Magic Tower. Waikatz. And our Hero Party and that Takkari Godre.
It is a measure of the strength of a hastily assembled team.
***
About 10 minutes.
This is the time spent hunting monsters.
The wizards asked, “How can one miscellaneous monster be so strong?” I was so anxious that we would all die here.
But Dre still acted carefree.
Every time I encounter a monster, the next one is the Marbing tribe, then the red monster, and then the yellow filth. We made them fight one after another.
Every force fought a battle once. Dre thought for a moment and made a display.
In the meantime, the magic tower lords and the higher schools naturally tried to withdraw from the display and walk behind them, making the lower schools gnash their teeth.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
‘Are you doing chores again?’
But Dre saw the top owners.
“You two there. What are you doing?”
“Yes?”
“Hmm?”
Blue Tower and Kranium opened their eyes wide.
“You two are on the front line with me. Come here. There. Those of you who sneak away, please stand right behind us.”
The upper-class wizards were embarrassed.
A female mage with a gentle appearance smiled warmly and ran towards Dre.
“Hey~”
Bah!!
Before she could say anything, the female wizard was hit on the head and sat down, clutching the top of her head.
“Don’t think about falling in, but stand straight. I’m warning you. There is a gap to the outside world. Forget everything about your status. This is a battlefield where if you make a mistake, everyone will be behind you.”
Dre threatens me not to think about leaving.
The memory of the horror of how he had been mercilessly beaten just a few hours ago made the upper class move quickly.
Looking at them, they were lower-class magicians, but at the same time, I was worried.
‘They are treated like that, so what about us?’
‘In the end, it will be treated as a consumable item.’
Even if it seems fair now, low-ranking magicians will be deployed to places that seem overtly dangerous.
If you think about it, all of the wizards in the Magic Tower were in the position of stabbing Dre in the back.
There is nothing to hesitate about even if you throw it away.
I was feeling depressed, and the road down was extremely difficult.
The placid forest-like atmosphere is momentarily replaced by a poisonous swamp. A long cliff covered in thorns. Disgusting and dangerous elements that make you sigh just by looking at them have appeared.
“Should I pass by here?”
“Her…”
Between cliffs and cliffs. It is connected only by a thin stone bridge barely large enough to step on.
“You can just fly, so what are you worried about?”
Dre waved his hand at the wizards as if to tell them to go quickly.
“Go first and be on the lookout for monsters out there.”
The upper-class wizards are grumbling to themselves, saying they are the front line and asking why they should send in the dangerous stuff first.
Soon a few floated and flew over the cliff.
Suddenly, let’s look down. I saw a poisonous swamp with bubbling bubbles.
If you fall into that, you will never be safe…
Sigh!
“Huh? Ahhhhh-!”
It happened so quickly.
Something that looked like an octopus’ leg came out of the poisonous swamp, grabbed the wizard’s leg, and pulled him.
Everyone had a hunch that that man was the end.
He also said that if he tried to save himself, he would be finished.
And.
Ta-tat.
Dre jumped down without hesitation.
Wow-! Sigh-!
A few octopus legs shot up, aimed at Dre, and Shookak! Shukakak! The leg was cut off by the sword.
Dre catches up with the man caught first and shouts Shukaaak! I cut the leg of the octopus that grabbed his leg, grabbed his leg, and boo! Threw it up
“Hmm!!”
Garcinido, who became a ray of lightning, caught him and made him land in a safe place.
With a plop-!
Meanwhile, Dre fell into a poisonous swamp.
Everyone gasps. I took a deep breath.
“I have to save you…”
“But how?”
“How about using a fire-type magic? If even a swamp boils, you can boil the monster well.”
“No. If that were the case, not only the monsters, but also the light flames…”
Fuuuuu!!
Suddenly, the poisonous swamp exploded.
Dre rose up through the flowing sewage.
In his hand was what appeared to be an octopus eyeball, and a pot. Papat. Stepping through the air, Dre climbed back onto the cliff.
Dre pointed over the cliff with his finger at the wizards who were looking at him in silence.
“What are you doing? Move.”
