Chapter 255 – 255. Black Idol of the Swamp
After finishing the Ascension Labyrinth strategy, I decided to come back and take a short break.
Since I had been damaged in many ways by the nanobots and parasites that entered my body, I needed to rest for a while.
Let’s strengthen our inner strength while taking a short break.
“So, with this equipment, we can mass produce power suits?”
“Yes. You’re right. And there is also a magic engineering here. I think we can probably upgrade it further.”
Arima, brought from the Ascension Labyrinth, was better than expected.
He spoke with a magic engineering engineer who was currently operating in the dimensional market and said that it seemed possible to share technology.
Thanks to this, I think my life will become easier. The items from the reward boxes brought by the workers and companions were enough to expand the scope of their lives by an entire amount of money.
Moreover, the amount of goods brought by the workers is so large that I am no longer able to manage them all.
Therefore, I decided to just leave the management of the goods and the rebuilding of the city to my companions. If I try to intervene in every single thing, my mind becomes too complicated, perhaps because I have a lot of work to do.
“To make a power suit, you need materials, and you can get those materials from the Nether Tunnel.”
“Yes. It seems that it can be made with minerals mined from the Nether Tunnel.”
The entire section of Dimensional Market was handed over to Arima and the driver. We plan to manufacture weapons here in the future.
“Hey, if you want to make medicine properly… Conquering the swamp area is also essential…”
And I heard from the toad alchemist that I had to conquer the swamp area to periodically receive elixirs.
In any case, you must enter the swamp area of the Nine Heavens, destroy the Hydra’s nest, conquer the swamp area, which is a shared labyrinth, and protect it from external forces.
‘I had to go in anyway to catch Paramushigi, the god of witches.’
The moment I decided to become an apostle of the evil spirit, I gained enormous power.
I think it’s time to strengthen my companions a bit. Of course, I don’t have any plans to take them with me yet, but now that I have some free time, I’m making them all stronger.
Since you never know what will happen in the world, it is better to become stronger in advance while you can.
‘First, I would like to provide equipment and elixirs in one lump sum.’
To do this, we had to create an environment to collect a lot of materials.
‘Because elixir ingredients sometimes appear in yellow reward boxes…’
I plan to attack the swamp area, entrust the toads with managing the entire swamp area, and then tell them to grow the rare materials found in the reward box.
‘There are a lot of heretics too.’
All of them can be hired as workers. Simple labor can be done by ordering demons created through the production of evil stars. However, for slightly complicated tasks, it was better to ask people to do them.
“Split into groups and divide those who will go into the mine and those who will go into the swamp.”
“Yes.”
I went to the man who was managing the cultists and ordered him to divide the cultists into a swamp gathering team and a mine mining team.
Also, I told them to take some out and organize them into a simple labyrinth and infinite labyrinth strategy group.
From now on I will divide the heretics into four groups. Gathering group, mining group, strategy group and labor group.
In general, the weak will join the labor union and take on all kinds of odd jobs.
Maybe this is best. You never know when the strategy team and the gathering team will die, and the mining team is hard work.
“It’s done.”
If you just lay the foundation like this, it will run on its own.
‘There are other things to do.’
I left everything to me that I should have done originally. Perhaps because I had a lot of subordinates, I no longer had to worry about the little things.
However, I just have to grab the goals presented by the evil spirit and dedicate them to him.
First, I’ll take a break today and go into the swamp tomorrow.

“It’s no joke here either.”
I entered the swamps of the Nine Heavens fully equipped.
The dark cloudy sky and the dark swamp scenery made me feel bad.
“Something to catch.”
[Hydra and witches.]
You must destroy the Hydra’s nest that is disturbing the swamp and then capture the witches living here.
Only then can you find Farsad, the black idol in the swamp.
“I can feel something over there.”
I headed to a place where I felt energy.
Almost completely killing the presence.
“Hmm.”
When we arrived at the scene, the situation was already over.
[Someone hunted.]
“I see.”
What was dead was the body of a hydra.
Someone killed the hydra before I arrived and ripped out its heart.
[There is no one here who would do something like this…]
“I guess it’s just witches.”
Hydra hunting was taken away by a witch.
Well, it doesn’t really matter. Because Hydra is a guy who wants to hunt witches as well as search for them. Rather, I am glad that I found a clue to the witch.
“Do you see any traces?”
[Hmm. I can feel the reverberations of magical power. I left it out too intentionally. As if asking you to come here.]
“That’s a bit suspicious.”
I’m 100% sure they’re trying to lure me in.
Will they play whatever they want? I thought for a while about whether to take a detour.
“If you come, you have to go.”
I decided to go.
If a god appears in person, I can immediately summon the evil spirit, and if witches attack me, I can rip them to death.
“There it is.”
After chasing the reverberation of mana, I was able to arrive in front of a very strange structure built in the middle of a swamp.
A goat’s head was hung over a sculpture made of a human corpse. It looked like the work of devil worshipers. I feel bad looking at it.
-Kyahahahahaha!!!!!
-I got caught!! I came!!!
-You idiot! Byeeooeongsin!!!!
The laughter of old women could be heard from all directions.
When I heard the voice, it seemed like a total of three years.
Oooh!!!!
At that moment, the trap made by the witches was activated.
Thorn vines sprouted from the floor and wrapped around my body, tying them up.
Moreover, I began to drain the magic power from my body.
“Stupid human being!”
“I will suck out all your vitality!”
“I’ll make boiled egg soup with your testicles and eat it!”
Three old women appeared.
It looks terrible.
One was a bitch with a big belly and a stitch in her mouth. I think it means stop eating.
Next was an old woman with her eyes sewn with thread. She had a small body and tree roots had sprouted where her arms should have been, replacing her arms.
The last one was an old woman with her eyes gouged out, and it was quite funny to see her shouting in a strange direction as if she couldn’t see.
“Dare!! Step into our territory!!!”
Haha!!! I really like the young bachelor!!!”
“I may have come to catch Hydra, but how can I do this? “We took the first gulp!!!”
“Gulp the hydra!?”
The old women laughed even louder as they shouted in rage.
“Yes, yes!!! “We took out the heart of the hydra and ate it!!”
“Kyahahahaha!!! Look at that expression! It looks stupid!!! “It’s your fault for being late, so give up your life and die!”
“Men’s energy!! I love it!!!”
It looked very exciting. The atmosphere is like a grand festival.
We have to fit in with this exciting atmosphere.
Popping.
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
“What?”
The three old women reacted at the same time.
That’s because they are easily disarming the thorn vine trap that they put so much effort into.
With pure strength.
Pow!!!!
“Kyaaa!!!”
“Aaaaah!!”
“How can I do that…!?”
The old women took a step back.
After cutting off the thorn vines very easily, he approached the structure that the three old men had worked hard to build and stretched out his fist.
“Heavenly Demon Divine Fist.”
Bang!!!!!
In fact, it was just a punch containing a shock wave, but for some reason, ever since I acquired the skill called Heavenly Demon God, I had a desire to shout out the name of the skill, so I shouted out a roughly plausible name.
But this seems to have been quite effective.
“Che, Cheonma.!?”
“Oh, this can’t be happening. A thousand horses.”
“What is the Heavenly Demon!?”
“You don’t know! A devil who will tear the sky apart.”
“What!?”
“Uh, that guy. No way.”
“The Heavenly Demon is a fictitious being! It can’t be there!”
“That’s right, that’s right.! Haha…”
The old women were visibly perplexed. It seemed like he knew about the Heavenly Demon.
Then, let’s shake it a little more.
“Heavenly Demon Reign.”
I simply put a lot of force into my feet and stepped on the ground. The skill called Heavenly Demon Reigning did not include the skill called Heavenly Demon Reign.
However, that destructive power was real.
Kuguguggung!!!!!
The earth shook, and the sky trembled.
At the same time, the ground collapsed and exploded approximately 10 meters in front of where I stepped on.
“…”
“Ah…”
“Oh my.”
The old women began to withdraw as if they had decided that the fight was no longer possible.
Can’t miss it. Those three years probably hold a clue to Farsad.
“Where are you running!!!!”
He threw himself at the old women.
I will kill two and leave only one.
Because there is no need for three.
******
“…”
“Now, what should I do to meet Farsad?”
“…”
I killed the old woman who didn’t know about the Heavenly Demon first, and then I killed the fat old woman whose mouth was sewn open.
The only one who didn’t know what the Heavenly Demon was seemed to be lagging behind in terms of information, so I killed him because I didn’t think he would know much about Farsad, and the fat guy smelled like a pig so badly that he instinctively burst out.
So all that remains is this guy. A crazy bitch with tree roots stuck in both of his arms.
“If you don’t want to talk, don’t.”
“What?”
They say they don’t want to open their mouths, but they have no intention of investing precious time by torturing, sleeping, and fighting.
It will be resolved quickly and quickly.
Sereung.
I pulled out a kitchen knife. Then, he started carving the scars of the corpse on the old woman’s forehead.
“Kwaaaaa!!!!! For a moment!!! This!! This is not possible!!! I already sold my soul to Farsad!!! No!!!!! Double faith means eternal destruction!! Please!! I’ll tell you everything!!! Please!!!!!”
An old woman, overcome with fear of eternal death, screamed loudly and begged for her life.
I didn’t know it would be this effective.
“Call the Raven Lord.”
“Ugh. You will regret it. It looks like he’s just leaving with that evil god on his back.”
Puhwaak!!!!
“Kwaaaaa!!!!”
“You bitch, we don’t have time, so call the pillars.”
“Ugh…”
As he grabbed his arm and pulled it away, the old woman trembled in pain, closed her mouth tightly, and began to call out to the Raven Lord.
Let’s look at that heavy mug. No, I will offer it to you as soon as I see it.
