Fell in the Highest Difficulty Dungeon 107

Chapter 107 – Careful Preparation (14)

14. Careful Preparation (14)

Breaking the head, letting off the attacks of the unpleasant and repulsive giant insects, biting, breaking the head, taking the attacks of monstrous beasts that would make you tired just by looking at them, biting, Breaking the head…

As rounds continued, the appearance of all members of the corps of warriors became more miserable. It had been pickled with blood and bodily fluids for a long time, and the monsters themselves, which seemed endless even after killing them, caused considerable mental fatigue. But if that was all, it would have been fine. Because this wasn’t the only experience that pushed me to the limit.

Krrr… !!

“No more!”

“Rather, rather bite me, you fucking wolf bitch!!!”

After I was bitten by Ar twice and my stamina was running out, Kaya and Shay again blocked Ar, who came to covet my blood and flesh for the third time.

“Sister. Sister step back. I brought it, so it’s my fault.”

“It’s not anyone’s fault. Shay, I’m better at being bitten than you are.”

“You fucking beast! Captain, stop eating and eat me!”

In response to Shay’s desperate attempts, Ar slashed Shay’s neck and shoulder on the third and fourth turns. Covering her entire upper body in blood, Shay couldn’t even hold her claymore properly.

“Altar, the color of the altar… ?”

“… It’s darker than my hair color. The black aura is also showing little by little.”

‘Shit… I only have to last one more round… !’

She wanted to lay down the ax she was holding in her right hand, the responsibility she was carrying on her shoulder, and the conscience she was holding in her heart and lay down. I wanted to close my eyes.

‘It’s hard. It’s too hard.’

I wasn’t careless. This trip to leader was a carefully prepared plan to break through District 2. In order to find a suitable request, he also collected information from many people. A hundred out of a hundred people said that it was shit, but there was no such thing as a level of difficulty that made it difficult to come back alive.

Should I have dropped out right away when I checked my profile and skills? How could that be? It’s the first class I’ve seen, but don’t you want to see how it fights at least once? It may feel different between text and actual application, and since there is no accumulated information about werewolves, I think I can definitely verify whether I should filter it or not by looking at it myself…

‘Tsk, what excuse are you coming now…? It’s all already happened.’

Even in the dungeon I entered in preparation for breaking through this dungeon, I needed a lot of preparation with a significantly higher level of difficulty than other warriors, and I needed to prepare again for that preparation…

Suddenly, I was exhausted.

‘It’s not like there’s a time limit like in the tutorial, so should I just get out of the dungeon somehow and live leisurely while making scraps of money?’

Food including chicken that makes one’s mouth water just by imagining it, and the products of advanced science that are usually taken for granted. If you give up going back to Earth, you’re giving up on them as well, so of course you’ll regret it… Kaya and Shay were here. On Earth, I was a loner in the corner of my room, but here I made two women who love me. Which of the two is important? I wouldn’t know if it was when they had just landed here, but now it was rude to them to dare to put both of them on the same comparison line.

‘But… Apart from Kaya, who blindly follows me, Shay.’

Kaya, who wanted to share her own destiny with mine, was more likely to agree if I truly gave up, but Shay didn’t. The root cause of her following me was that my goal was to truly break through the dungeon to the end. If I give up on that, since she’s attached to me, she won’t say she’ll leave right away, but… You will be very disappointed and hopeless.

‘You’re a fear bastard who’s still voyeurizing insinuatingly somewhere…’

When I thought that way, I was wrong. At least as long as we decided to be together until the end, shouldn’t we all have a happy ending together? I’ve been able to fold my goals a hundred times, but I can’t have Shay’s goals collapse because of me. Dreaming of a ‘happy ending’ in this fucking place, I thought it was really funny, but…

Is it really impossible for everyone to survive and defeat the dungeon to the end? Things that seemed impossible until now, didn’t you somehow manage to do it and return?

Even in District 1, when Shay joined, and during the Fall of Vestia.

Every time someone was in danger of dying, the warriors were in danger of being annihilated, but in the end, they returned to Salem.

So shouldn’t it be the same this time?

Compared to them, the only things I can stand out are my playtime on Earth, the shallow sense of responsibility I have as a warrior captain, and my self-confidence, even if it’s just a fucking thing.

‘The plan to make us give up raiding the dungeon in this way was very good. Admit it a little bit.’

Still, my teammates didn’t give up, but I shouldn’t have given up first, and I shouldn’t have collapsed first.

Because I was their light.

“Only once!”

Strength entered the hand holding the axe again.

“Let’s hold on one more time!!”

[Rounds Remaining – 1]

“You fucking bastards!!!”

[Crush the head]

Heh heh heh-!!!

The ax covered in blood, flesh and fat showed off its final sharpness.

**

Again

Again, my body didn’t listen. Just like that time, blood-stained letters obstruct your vision and the thick smell of blood takes over your sense of smell… ?

“Captain, Captain…”

What?

Of course, the world that I thought would be red was not red. It was the original color. I didn’t even smell blood. Rather, it smelled like sweet bread.

I blinked. It was not a dream. Not hallucinations… It seemed. It felt soft to the touch.

‘Motel… ? Motel? Motel!’

It was only then that his head, which had been spinning slowly, grasped the situation. There were a lot of parts I couldn’t remember, as if someone had dug them up, but it seemed as if they had escaped that disgusting place and returned to Salem.

‘Kaya! Shay!’

Looking at their backs, tears welled up in my eyes. Memories flashed past except for the holed part. Confronting Kaya and Shay, and cutting Hendrick’s head…

‘Ah.’

I. I. I.

People.

My body trembled. The feeling of vomiting was severe.

Memories of hammering his teeth into Hendrick’s neck, frantically licking and sucking the blood, and finally tearing off his flesh and chewing it ‘deliciously’ overflowed.

‘Stop! Stop!’

I wanted to struggle. But my body didn’t move. It wasn’t that my body wasn’t listening to me like it was back then, it was the feeling that my body itself couldn’t move.

‘Ahhh… Shay, even…’

That wasn’t the end. The moment she saw Shay’s white neck and the scars on her strong shoulders, she even remembered the memory of her scratching Shay’s neck and shoulders.

‘I… People…’

Only like this

How was it different from the ‘beasts’ Kaya had spoken of?

Dismembering monsters more brutally than necessary, attacking comrades and consuming blood and flesh.

It was just a monster mad for blood and carnage. That’s about as far as I can remember. She even feels that way herself…

‘Why, why did you save me? Why did you bring me too?’

Tears welled up.

The hero she thought she was was not like this. Although his illusions about Salem were shattered, his dream of becoming a warrior was not broken. He thought he would be able to become a hero different from others, since he was not so obsessed with gold coins. He didn’t have a noble mission, but he still wanted to live a dignified life without hiding his morbidity and not hiding his power except for revealing his true nature.

But he himself was a beast. He was just a pre-beast pretending to be human, with his nature less awakened.

With a conscious fear of blood, with minimal killing, and with doing it neatly and quickly, I tried my best to turn it away… Half of himself was a lowly beast.

Tears that had been welling up rolled down in torrents. Kaya, who had turned her back when the transparent marble flowed down her small cheek and reached her chin, was looking this way before she knew it.

“Are you coming to your senses?”

“Card… Hey… ?”

“Whoa… Judging by the expression and tone of voice, it seems that the condition has been resolved, but…”

Kaya shook his head with a hard expression.

“I won’t release your restraints just in case.”

“Ah…”

Only then did Ar understand his situation. Starting from his neck, his entire body was wrapped in ropes or chains. The only place he could move was his head.

“How, what happened?”

“Do you want to hear it?”

“Huh. Please.”

Ar looked intently, but Shay still turned his back. The story must have been heard, but she didn’t even move to look back.

Ars became very frightened.

“Ho, what have I done?”

“…”

“Please! Please, please tell me everything… Please…”

Kaya let out a deep sigh. Her throat burned as she reached for the cup on the table.

Chaeng-Grang-!

“Ah.”

“Sister! Are you okay!?”

“Oh, sorry. I ran out of energy for a moment.”

“I will clean it up. I am sitting.”

“No. It’s okay. Wasn’t Shay more seriously injured? Please sit down.”

When Kaya misses and breaks her cup, an unresponsive Shay jumps to her feet, worried about Kaya. When she declined, she turned her back in the same position. It was blatant disregard for anyone.

But Ar couldn’t care about that.

A terrible wound was visible on her arm, which was hidden by her long sleeve, all over Kaya’s right elbow.

“Ah.”

“Beautiful.”

“Ah…”

“You exterminated the vermin seawater more courageously than any of us. The head of the livestock farm also looked at the corpses and said that it would be okay to worry about raids for a while, at least for District 1.”

“That is not bravery.”

“Although minor side effects caused us minor injuries, we returned safely. It is not an irreversible injury, so there is no need to worry anymore.”

“A minor side effect? Light wound?”

Then, why is Hendrick still not waking up, Shay ignoring him, and why is he so tied up?

“Tell me honestly. The wound on her arm… Did I pay for it?”

“Yes.”

Kaya carelessly nodded her head.

“Hendrick’s neck, Shay’s neck too?”

“Yes.”

“Why am I okay? I attacked you, why am I unharmed? Why? Why don’t you trample on my chest like you did back then? I’ve become the beast you said! I almost killed you when I didn’t do anything, but why do you take care of me like this when I do something serious? Why? Why! I’d rather make the same scar on me! Give me the same pain!”

“Ar, giving it back to you does not mean that the wounds we have suffered will disappear. And your body may be fine, but your mind is not suffering.”

“… !”

“The captain said that we, who recklessly awakened your true nature, will be paid for it. Their species is fundamentally different, but just because they look like humans, they inadvertently think of them as humans with some unique characteristics… I made a huge mistake and almost created an irreversible tragedy.”

“Ah.”

“Beautiful.”

“No. No.”

Ar wanted to cover his ears. But I couldn’t. He didn’t want to hear

“Your rampage has been decided to be buried. I don’t know what the aftermath this decision will bring in the future, but we won’t reveal your identity.”

“No. No!”

“Are you.”

Kaya calmly sentenced.

“I don’t think we can do it with our HAT.”
