Chapter 175 – 39. The Underground Labyrinth. (3)
It felt like sticky phlegm sticking to my skin. After a short break, the group of mercenaries started walking again in line.
There were also several passages interspersed in the wide cavity. …… If there were no blind saints, she would have had to explore them one by one.
“Here….”
Odd-Nun followed the string connected to the doll and headed for a certain aisle. Everyone who experienced her talent for the first time was puzzled. … Well, it’s hard to believe that you can see energy with your eyes.
Whoop Whoop.
The sound of footsteps stepping on the uneven, uneven stone floor and the rough breathing of more than 20 breaths, adding to the slow licking of the skin, heightened the tension to the extreme. Not knowing when and where a monster might pop out right away, the mercenaries were vigilantly rolling their eyes in all directions.
In the passageway where the mercenaries entered, her unknown corpse lay broken and rotting in the corner. Some of them were old and only had white bones, while others still had their skins.
The mercenaries who projected themselves into that figure felt the tension tightening up to their buttholes. There is already a case of a female colleague being torn apart like minced meat by a monster….
The tall, wide aisle, round and arched, was full of all sorts of stench. In particular, there was an indescribable stench from the excrement of the monster that was decaying in the corner. Between the mercenaries who were walking in two lines, there was an occasional gagging sound.
…… It felt like the air was getting sharper and sticky. Even Allen, who wasn’t very sensitive to that, could feel it.
There is something inside me.
There was a feeling close to that certainty.
On both sides of the aisle were cages made of very thick iron poles, just like before. Of course, human prisons also exist. … Especially in this prison, the size of the skeleton was definitely small, probably because there were a lot of young children.
The moment you lightly look inside the prison and turn around to move forward again.
“Sweet Lord!”
At the same time as the blind saintess’ cry burst out, a monster jumped out of the darkness in front of that aisle. Having experienced it once, they formed a formation much faster than before and dealt with the attacking monster.
Fortunately, the monster itself wasn’t that powerful. It’s to the point where even a bunch of guys like Shinpin Cory can easily take it down. … Of course, there must be a reason why I can’t use my strength properly because I starved for a long time.
“Damn it! Red! Color! Talent!”
Corey, the newcomer whose belly was pierced by the monster, repeatedly hit the monster’s head with a club, smashing it to pieces, and vomited his own resentment of having to pee.
Perhaps because of the noise, the number of monsters attacking the mercenaries began to increase one by one. As the number of guys rushing at each other increased, the group’s stamina was gradually reduced.
“Suck the potion in moderation! Take care of your own stamina! Don’t go hooked in one room!”
Allen, too, endured the forced march with the power of heat that warmed his stomach while sucking on the potion water.
The aisle was incredibly deep. To the extent that Allen, who was trying to break through at once without rest, had to change her mind and eat it.
“Wait a break!”
They took a short break in the middle. Everyone looked tired. In a place like this where the field of view is limited, trying to keep the other senses as sharp as possible, so it is inevitable to consume physical strength. Moreover, since I had witnessed a case where I was hurt by a monster while doing nothing, I was even more nervous.
Allen approached the blind saintess who was leading the way and asked how long she was left.
“…… I don’t think it’s that far. She will only have to go as far as she has come this far.”
“Yeah, got it.”
– Kyaaaaa
The fear was heightened even more by the doll, which sometimes screamed terrifyingly as if in a seizure. Every time that happened, Pergamond banged the lid of the box with his palm like a pot lid and shouted to shut up, but it had little effect. If that threat was going to work, it would have worked long ago.
After a short break, the group of mercenaries formed formation and walked again.
The air full of life now has a feeling of being damp. In fact, the walls of the aisle were soaked with water. There are even places where water puddles are made.
The water looks clear to her, but she warns her never to drink Allen. It must be a pool that the monster also uses, but if you swallow even the monster’s saliva and become contaminated, you’ll be in big trouble.
“…… The aisle ends!”
After defeating two more monsters, they finally saw the end of the passage. Of course, no one liked that that was the end. I haven’t met the culprit of this situation yet, so of course I can’t be relieved.
What awaited them after exiting the aisle was another huge cavity. …… However, this time it was different.
Incredibly intense life and gloomy energy were swirling in the cavity. To the extent that I was a little surprised by the odd eyes that could see that energy.
“Danlord… ! Over there… !”
Odd Noon pinched with his finger somewhere in the darkness that was not yet visible to the naked eye.
“Is that what we are looking for?”
“… It seems so.”
Allen ordered his men to prepare for battle. The Lewis-Mercenary Corps was also ready for battle.
Allen told Elena to chant her spell so that she could cast her magic at any time. With the determination to blow off a single magic blow if the situation arises.
And the group of mercenaries advanced slowly. In the direction Odd-Nun pointed—.
…… Then, a sight slowly emerges.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
A huge number of monsters were so still, motionless, as if they were prostrated towards somewhere. Some are already dead and decayed.
“Hup.”
At the shocking sight, some weak mercenaries took a deep breath. It was because I never imagined that I would see the zealots worshiping something in monsters.
ㅡㅡ!!
Everyone held their breath and looked at Allen Danju. How can I do this
However, he raised his finger to lightly touch his mouth and gestured for a quiet move. The group of mercenaries quietly passed between the prostrate monsters as if they were bowing down, killing even the sound of their footsteps.
Soon, strange roots began to appear on the floor. Translucent like reddish veins, it shimmered when light hit it. Stepping on it felt like stepping on a soft water hose.
The number of such small root-like stems increased exponentially as they went inward, and soon the entire floor was covered with such roots. The slippery, sticky, unpleasant roots stuck like leeches to the flesh of the prostrate monsters, swallowing the sap. It must be because monsters that only have skin left like mummies have been sucked up by opponents.
“Sir, suck….”
Someone muttered something like a small whisper to himself. It was definitely a sight that would make you curse without even realizing it.
Numerous roots gradually gathered in one place to form a huge colony. Soon, it formed an enormous pillar and rose upward to become one huge stem. Like a giant world tree.
Seeing the terrifying and terrifying appearance of the huge blood-red tree in the light of the magic orb, the mercenaries instantly turned to ice.
In the center of the huge bloody tree, there was something like an oval crystal stuck in it, and a mass that looked like a tangled ball of many thorns was wriggling inside it.
…… That’s it…… !
The body of that terrible soul swallowed up in the doll.
Once more, the doll cried out. Then the mass inside the lens wriggled more violently. A box rattling at the same time.
“Elena!”
Allen had no desire to delay any longer. She thought of starting a fight with a big blow to that hideous monster that was still defenseless.
Of course, the moment you take a shot, the monsters around here will immediately rush to protect the master. … You must be prepared for a tough battle.
The sucker nodded his head, saying that he was ready to cast his magic whenever he gave an order. After confirming that, Allen sent a signal to Louis Danzoo. Now you have to prepare to fight.
“Everyone get in shape! Ready for battle!”
The two mercenaries each formed a circular dense formation. Then, the powerful magic of the suckling wizard flew towards that bloody tree and exploded.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With a tremendous explosion, the stems that stretched all the way to the ceiling were ripped off. It fell on its side, vomiting the monster’s ooze everywhere.
– Kyaaaaa!!!!!
At the same time, the doll’s scream grew sharper and louder.
Soon the lid of the box popped open and the doll jumped out. And while he was about to head for the bloody tree, the blind saintess quickly snatched it in the middle.
“Town!”
Her palms sore and melt in an instant.
“Don’t miss it!”
Allen thrust his silver sword into the torso of her doll, which lay on her floor.
– Kiyiyi!!
The doll, all stained red, struggled in pain.
At the same time, numerous monsters who had been lying face down began to stand up one by one trembling.
“It’s all over, bastards…… !”
The furry Geese spat on both palms, then tightened his grip on his weapon and strengthened his fighting spirit.
The old dog Callisman patted the back of the alopecia areata Kancho, who was nervous and shivering next to him, and said a word.
“Don’t worry. Trust the comrades behind your back and only look forward.”
All the crew members were determined to fight in their own way, and they were ready to fight.
Elena prepared another magic shot.
“One more shot!”
The powerful elemental magic of the sucker mage exploded as it hit the bloody tree again. Then again, red blood spilled in all directions… !
The mercenaries could not avoid the blood splashing all over the place, so they took a considerable amount. They have already become like demons before even fighting.
Soon the monster rushed towards the group.
“Kill them all!”
…… The bloody battle between the mercenary and the monster has begun.
