Chapter 130 – Father
Jeffrey was delighted to see Jason hunt alone.
The two thieves hid and walked around the labyrinth dungeon.
Jason took down quite a few monsters in one blow with a surprise attack.
Geoffrey had seen Demeter, who was better at assassinating than himself, active in the dungeon.
And now the youngest son was surpassing Demeter in his senior years.
“I’ve heard of disciples surpassing their masters, but it’s really rare.”
I can only imagine how much effort he must have put in to get to this point.
Later, Jeffrey also hunted with Jason.
Together, the two thieves hid in the dark to find their target and pierced the monster’s neck with a blade.
When my body was moderately relaxed and I felt good, Jeffrey made a bonfire and asked me to rest for a while.
“Have you seen enough of my skills?”
Jason said smirking.
Jeffrey looked at his youngest son like he was cute.
“Do you know why I brought you here?”
“Isn’t your father also a superman here? With Emperor Juthema.”
“It did. I hunted like crazy. This labyrinth changes its structure every hour. There are many places that the emperor does not go to. Because it could put you in danger. But we didn’t care about that and just headed deeper.”
“That’s how you became a superman, so you succeeded.”
“Haha. It did.”
Geoffrey seemed amused as he thought of his youth.
The old man used to live by eating memories.
“It was difficult, but he lived only with the desire to become a superman. All of the money given by Brother Juthema was used to buy new equipment and consumables. And in that party, there were priests and wizards besides Juthema, me, and Demeter, but only the three of us succeeded in becoming superhuman.”
“Did it make a difference even if you promoted with the same party?”
“Okay. I saw it as a difference in desire.”
“The difference between desires?”
“Tema brother Zhu thought that if he did not become emperor, he would be better off dead. Demeter and I grew up on the street and knew that everything would be over once we became superhuman.”
That desire made the three men superhuman. Because I have a desire, I just entered a place where my life was in danger.
And if you see a monster, you kill it, and when it dies, you somehow resurrect it with the money you saved.
It was only when they went out of their minds by repeatedly dying and reviving that the three of them could finally become superhuman.
“It was poison. The three were really toxic. So it worked.”
And Jeffrey looked at Jason and asked.
“How are you? Can you do it that badly?”
“I can.”
“Haha. Anyone who dies and resurrects once cannot say such a thing. You haven’t died yet So maybe you can say that.”
Jeffrey didn’t believe Jason’s words.
‘I’m sorry, but I have clear memories of dying because I was betrayed so badly in my previous life.’
Such a death was several times more painful than dying instantly from monsters in a dungeon.
That memory will never be forgotten.
Then Jeffrey signaled Jason to be quiet and kicked off the warming bonfire to put it out.
A human voice came from somewhere.
There was a difference between the footsteps of humans and monsters, and Jeffrey was able to tell the difference right away.
This was a dungeon that only members of the imperial family could use.
What if someone else sneaks in here?
Jason came up with the simplest answer.
To kill for treason against the imperial family.
Jeffrey listened quietly.
The labyrinth dungeon had a complicated structure, so he wouldn’t have seen the light of the bonfire.
Without special skills, they were more likely to move away than get closer.
And contrary to Jeffrey’s guess, those people were getting closer.
Jeffrey gave a hand signal.
– The enemy is approaching. Get ready to fight.
It was the sewage’s choice to run away from here.
If you try to run away, you will hear the sound of running away.
If the enemy had bandits, it would only be an unfavorable chase.
Then it was a much better choice to hide in the dark, check the enemies, talk to the person who can communicate with them, and kill them all with a surprise attack if the conversation doesn’t seem to work.
The enemies got closer and closer, and Jeffrey was getting a sense of how many enemies there were.
6 people.
It was the maximum number that could reasonably fight in a narrow labyrinth.
The enemy’s appearance was revealed in a corner of the labyrinth.
They could tell where they belonged just by looking at their pitches.
Knights of the Holy Sword.
It was a military organization directly under the emperor, and it was a place where blood relatives who had not become superhuman in the past gathered.
It was a terrifying place where everyone was a senior crusader.
‘Why are they?’
And one of them was holding a compass in his left hand.
The compass was pointing towards Jeffrey.
It was evident that it was a magical tool capable of determining Jeffrey’s location.
Geoffrey knew that his ambush didn’t work.
He came out of the dark and asked.
“I apologize for entering the imperial family’s labyrinth dungeon. I will see the emperor alone and ask for my sins.”
It would cost quite a bit of money, but Jeffrey thought it was a problem that could be solved with money.
But he was wrong.
The Knights of the Holy Sword began to attack Jeffrey in silence while using the Holy Method to add a bright light to their swords.
At that level, it was clear that the emperor had messed around with something.
Geoffrey tried to think why the Emperor would come and kill him, but he focused on the enemies in front of him.
No matter how superhuman he was, the number of six high-ranking crusaders was formidable.
The Crusader fought as well as his warriors, and could even use spells to strengthen his sword and heal himself and others.
He was by no means a formidable opponent.
That’s what Jason was thinking the same way.
In particular, Jason was a rogue who specialized only in the early stages of battle.
Crusaders with tenacious vitality like cockroaches were the most difficult to deal with among all classes.
However, he could not avoid the battle now just because he was reluctant.
He couldn’t have lost his father like this.
So Jason came out of the darkness and charged the Crusader in front.
The Venom Avenger shone and dug through the cracks in the Crusader’s plate armor.
And fortunately, this crusader was no stronger than Sandid.
Another Crusader passed away before he could heal with the Holy Law.
And when his son killed one, Geoffrey drew his sword and charged the other crusader.
He was a crusader who lost his mind for a moment, rushing at his youngest son.
His sneak attack was activated.
Certainly, the superhuman assault was different no matter what.
Jeffrey moved like a ghost and flew through the air.
Then he swung his dagger over the crusader’s head.
The dagger did a lot of damage to the Crusader.
Besides, that wasn’t the end.
The dark energy emanating from his dagger flowed to the other crusaders and seeped into their armor.
It was neither magic nor sacred law.
It was a special power that only Jeffrey had.
Now, the two rogues engaged in a bloody struggle against the five crusaders.
And thanks to Jeffrey’s ability to hit multiple enemies at once, the two rich men were able to survive.
In the middle of a bloody dungeon, Jason found his father.
Jason’s body already had several knife marks.
He just wasn’t stabbed and cut.
The light from the Holy Sword of the Crusader seeped into the wound and continued to inflict pain.
Eventually, Jason found Jeffrey breathing heavily in a corner.
Jeffrey was also in a bad state.
He was breathing faintly and was bleeding profusely.
It seemed that several of his bones were also broken.
Jason pulled a potion of advanced healing from his bosom and passed it to Jeffrey.
Jeffrey barely drank the potion and barely regained his strength.
“This is not the time to be here. Let’s get out of here.”
And Jeffrey started to get out of the labyrinth dungeon with Jason by collecting only the compass that kept telling him where he was.
Even though it was a dungeon that kept changing in real time, Jeffrey was aware of its regularity to some extent.
Arriving at the sewer dungeon again, Jason and Jeffrey mobilized all the potions they had to treat them.
After that, I didn’t go to the Wolf family’s mansion.
The coachman waiting outside was startled.
Said Jeffrey to the coachman.
“Go to the third hideout.”
“All right.”
Even in the midst of surprise, the coachman promptly carried out Jeffrey’s order.
Jason asked curiously.
In the current situation, it seemed that there could be no safer place than the Wolf family mansion.
“Aren’t you going home?”
“Home is not the safest place right now.”
“Yes?”
“Some of your older brothers and sisters might have instigated this.”
Jason wondered if that would happen, but he trusted Jeffrey’s judgment for now.
“Only the Emperor can move the Holy Sword Knights. But there are plenty of people who can move the emperor. If I die, the people who will benefit the most are your older brothers and sisters.”
