Chapter 100 – 23. The Spirit World. (5)
The group stood for a moment, taking a deep breath. To be honest, it was a break that couldn’t even be considered a break, but it was a sense of thanks to them who had now entered the middle of the limbs.
Allen also forced her to hold her breath, which had risen to the tip of her chin. Her whole body is already sweaty.
Anyway, the blind saint will guide you. It was fortunate that she didn’t have to go after her boyfriend. If she hadn’t, the damage would have been much worse.
As usual, when I pushed through earlier, there were one or two mercenaries who were attacked by the dead. Not because they were too weak to deal with the dead, of course, but because they were literally really unlucky. Sometimes they pop up out of nowhere really unexpected. It even appeared right from the back of the neck and bit the back of the back.
The members of the Allen-Mercenary Company were not without such cases, but fortunately, their level was far superior to the other three Mercenary Corps, so they at least avoided being fatally wounded. … Now I feel like I’m definitely getting my money’s worth.
“Did everyone catch their breath? …… Let’s go, now.”
Allen Danju swept through the group of mercenaries once and nodded his head to let’s go. And strike again.
As I was moving toward the highest and most splendid baron in the castle, suddenly, tongues like long ropes hissed and flew like arrows from several places.
ㅡㅡ!!
A total of four flew. Three of them were blocked somehow, but one was pierced. It hissed at the body of a female mercenary and took it away in an instant.
– Uuuuu
In an instant, she disappeared into her fog.
“Such an arm… !”
Allen Danju could only shout to speed her up. And her tongue like a rope from which she flies again. But if you get hit once, you won’t get hit twice.
Fortunately, they entered the baron’s castle safely. Of course, this place, too, was already engulfed in a hazy mist and was spewing out ghastly murder. The blind saintess, who would not show off how thick it was, rubbed her temples with her hands to see if her bones hurt.
Odd Snow took off his blindfold from the man. The black eyes followed the stem of the source from which the evil energy flowed.
And at some point, even the dead did not come out. …… However, that made the mercenaries more afraid. The fact that the dead do not appear in an environment where they can appear means that there is something that prevents them from approaching.
Whoops, whoops, whoops.
The mercenaries were tense and gasped for breath. The four mercenaries moved along the wide corridor, meticulously examining left and right and up and down. In this baron castle, which must have prospered in the past, now all I could feel was death.
They went deeper and deeper. Even the hazy light disappeared, and they now depended only on the light of the beads emitted by the two mages.
Wandering in the fog, they began to doubt whether they were really alive. In the first place, they are already dead, and aren’t they endlessly wandering around the spirit world like the dead—-, I thought….
Allen, who was checking the heads of the mercenaries in real time, was responsible for bringing them to their senses as they were consumed by fear. If you leave it as it is and the [Delirium] Or [Mad] Traits attach to it, it will be very difficult. …… Certainly, in terms of mental management, the status window was beyond useful and was almost like a cheat key.
“Everyone is still alive, so don’t worry. If you’re dead, don’t worry about that, bastards.”
It seemed that her group was over-strained, so Allen even joked a bit. It wasn’t nearly as effective as her mental immunity, but it certainly improved the condition of the mercenaries.
Of course, the steps did not stop. They were steadily narrowing the distance from the door to the spirit world.
…… And, the blind saintess who was leading her stopped suddenly and raised her hand. A signal to stop.
The group of mercenaries, who were on edge, stopped all at once. She slowly lowered her raised hand and pointed her finger in front of her.
“There… , There is something …… It’s strong, it’s great.”
Allen was sure that it was the gatekeeper guarding the gate to the spirit world.
“Get in line. Ready for battle… !”
No matter how much he mastered [Guild Master], There was no way to know exactly what kind of guy the gatekeeper was. Because it varies from time to time Of course, becoming the wizard who opened the door was the most common, but the probability was not very high either. Statistically, about 2.
Allen hissed as the group finished preparing her for battle, she motioned forward slowly. And the mercenaries kept their ranks and moved forward.
The first row moved forward cautiously with the tower shields scratched and cracked in places. You never know what attack might come, prepare for the shock.
…… And, before long, the identity of the gatekeeper was gradually revealed.
Hehe, son, son, my son….
A human-looking being was sobbing while holding someone in its arms. Of course, there’s no way humans can live here. It was clear to anyone that it was a monster.
Allen instructed the two wizards to cast magic at the enemy. And it will be the signal flare of battle. Soon, a prepared powerful mana bullet flew towards him.
ㅡㅡ!!
At the same time, the enemy suddenly jumped up to the ceiling and clung to it like a spider. Of course, the magic without the induction function only hit the empty space. Even the mercenaries didn’t know that he could dodge magic so quickly.
– Save my son!
The monster’s head was torn into four, and at the same time, its torso swelled enormously in an instant. The body of the monster was mixed with human body parts. Naturally, the rotten corpse of his son was also hanging dangling from his chest.
It was hanging from the ceiling and leaped toward the mercenary group. The first row raised their shields and tried to block the attack, but when the arm as huge as a human torso swung, they were pushed or knocked down by the impact.
– Save my son. My son Awesome!!
The gatekeeper monster was mad. Apparently, the reason this guy opened the door to the spirit world was to save his son.
The monster waved his arms randomly. A truly savage attack with no violence or method. However, the destructive power was unbelievable, and the place where the fist touched was dented, broken, and crushed at once. …… At least a serious injury if it fits.
The third row, including Allen, quickly fell back. The day when you get hit by even one by mistake after wandering around in a mess for nothing, it could be the day you leave the world. Furthermore, if they die in the spirit world, they too will not escape the pitiful dead.
– My son!!
Bang bang bang bang.
Arms and fists swinging like mad. The first row tried to create an opportunity to counterattack by somehow blocking the attack, but it seemed impossible to completely block the monster’s attack with their level. Everyone in row 1 already had at least one limb smashed. … Still, I endured the pain and somehow moved.
This time, too, the blind saint Odd Noon and the chewing gum tester Natasha played an active role. Obviously, his destructive power is great, but…… , Because it doesn’t fit anyway. Of course, he is also fast, but it feels a bit lacking to keep up with the speed of the two.
The two deftly dodged all of his attacks, twisting their bodies around to the point of being miraculous with their agile movements. While the monster was paying attention to them for a moment, the group of mercenaries quickly swallowed potions and reorganized their lines.
In the meantime, the suckling wizard prepared a powerful magic shot. I don’t know if it’s right or not, but once you hit it, you’ll be able to draw attention at least for a moment.
Manatan flew away again. It didn’t hit the monster this time either, but it created a chance to knock Odnun and Natasha out as she intended.
And just then, Cory, a newbie stuck next to the third row, felt an unusual energy and looked out the window for a moment. Right there, a huge number of the dead and the Grim Reaper were coming.
Fuck this!
The youngest, shocked that her eyeballs had fallen out, raised her voice and shouted to Danju.
“Bar, the dead are coming in droves outside!”
For a moment, I couldn’t shake the thought that Allen was also fucked. She still hasn’t been able to defeat the gatekeeper, but it’s definitely not easy for her to deal with the dead.
However, the dead had already jumped over the window and attacked them. The new Cory and the new archer Georg wielded clubs and bows like mad. The other mercenaries also fought desperately to block the dead from the backs of the first and second columns.
In the midst of such a fierce battle, Natasha, the gum milk inspector, did not miss her moment and moved like her thunderbolt, slashing the monster’s chest with her sword. Cutting the corpse of his corrupt son is a bonus.
– Aaaaa!!!!
The gatekeeper became furious and rushed at Natasha. She dared to inflict deep wounds on the body of her beloved son.
In the gap where the guy’s gaze was focused on the gum milk tester, the blind saintess clenched her fists eagerly for a chance.
Myeongchi, hitting—-.
Of course, what was hit was the back of the monster, not the face. Even a monster couldn’t withstand the blow with all his strength of 63 A-class strength.
The mercenaries in front of the monster were covered in ashes with a colossal explosion. Of course, it’s no wonder that the monster fell forward.
Natasha, who had swiftly backed away, also rushed forward again, slicing off his hideous head in an instant with her sword.
– Son aaaaa!
The monster rose again, but this time it fell with a punch in the leg. Taking advantage of that gap, both the 1st and 2nd rows rushed over and crushed his enormous size. While he was on his face, he swung his fists and hit a few mercenaries, but that was all.
The gatekeeper monster, which had been regenerating relentlessly, could no longer recover its body and eventually scattered its entire body as ashes.
After many twists and turns, the gatekeeper monster was eliminated. However, since the door to the spirit world had not yet been closed, the dead continued to pour in. In addition, a number of soul collectors and Andontra joined the situation.
After confirming that Allen Danju had removed the gatekeeper, he quickly headed for her. Right next to it was a passage leading underground. Just looking at it, it would have been obvious that the door to the spirit world was there.
“Odd eyes! Come with me.”
Things weren’t going too well without Natasha. The man and woman hurried down the aisle to the basement. Ugh The energy flowing from the gate to the spirit world must have been tremendous, and Odd-Nun let out a light moan. Now, the energy has begun to inflict physical damage as well.
“Oh shit… !”
The skin cracked and began to peel off. Blood and pus flowed from every hole, and tears of blood flowed from his eyes.
The pain was like being cut through the flesh with a knife.
Still, Odd Noon, who had a high level of physical strength, was not yet at that level.
Ah.
Allen almost lost his mind at the moment, but…… , She gritted her teeth and endured it to the end.
The two men and women managed to get down to the basement. There was a huge hole in the abyss in the middle of it, and it was spitting out hazy fog at random.
You have to find a medium.
Allen and Audnoon searched the cellar quickly. And Allen found the shape of a crouching mummy in the outermost corner of the entrance.
“Here!”
While randomly destroying the offerings near the gate to the spirit world, she heard Allen’s cry and ran to the place where the sound came from, breaking the mummy’s head at once. …… Still, the door did not close.
“Throw this into the entrance—!”
With Allen’s cry, Odd Noon picked it up and threw it straight into the mouth of the black abyss.
At the same time, her black hand rose like a haze, grabbed the door, and slowly began to close it.
Rumble, with a roar similar to the sound of thunder…… ,
The door to the spirit world was firmly shut.
The thick fog disappeared like a lie, and the basement became quiet as if nothing had happened.
As if it was all a dream up until now.
Oh
When Allen, who had been pouring out all the blood from the hole called the hole, finally felt relieved and fell down, the blind saint easily grabbed his body.
“…… You have suffered a lot.”
Odnun picked up Danjou like a princess and went up to the basement.
… A beautiful sunset was pouring down on the foggy baron.
