Chapter 211 – Episode 211. Master of the Underworld
The Destroyer continues to swing his hand toward the cradle of rest.
Each time you swing, you can feel the quality of energy in your hand changing.
They must be looking for the same power as the dimension where this cradle is located.
If time passes, this cradle will also be shattered by his hands.
Like the previous video transmission device.
I spoke to my subordinates.
“Let’s all step aside for now. Follow me.”
I took my subordinates to the farthest place from the entrance to the Cradle of Rest, towards the opposite wall.
My subordinates surround me as if protecting me against the wall.
Suddenly, I felt very annoyed by the way I was being protected by my women.
As a necromancer, it is natural to be protected by subordinates…
Apart from that, these are also my women.
I feel like I have to be protected by women.
It’s pathetic.
When I’m lost in useless thoughts,
Kwaaaaang
A loud sound was heard from the direction of the cradle’s entrance, and the cradle rumbled and vibrated.
It seems that he has finally found the power suitable for the dimension of the cradle.
Oh, I’m going crazy.
Is it really the end now?
Kwaaaaa…
This time, a louder hitting sound and vibration is felt than the previous time.
Fortunately, it doesn’t look like the cradle was destroyed yet, but I couldn’t withstand the severe shaking and ended up being thrown around.
Oh, that’s embarrassing.
I was the only one who fell.
I was thrown around loudly and hit hard against the gate to the underworld on the wall.
Oh my head.
It was then that a message appeared in front of me as I cursed and tried to stand up again.
[There is one Underworld invitation. Would you like to use the invitation?]
I stared blankly at the message in front of me.
It’s an invitation to the Underworld.
Now that I think about it, there was something like this.
An invitation to the Underworld received when summoning a great soul using over 20,000 souls.
I was in a daze because I was about to fight the Destroyer, and I was reluctant to think that I was going to go to the Underworld anyway, so I didn’t think much about it.
I fell and landed on the door to the underworld, and that’s probably why the message appeared.
The underworld.
It’s an unknown place that you wouldn’t normally see, but it’s different now.
It’s a desperate attempt.
What would be important in a situation like this?
The important thing is to be able to escape from the destroyer.
I felt the cradle shaking loudly again and shouted to everyone.
“Everyone listens carefully. There is a way to escape. I’ll avoid it that way, so don’t be surprised when I disappear. And don’t worry. “The destroyer is only targeting me, so once I’m gone, he won’t touch the cradle anymore.”
“Lord, master? “You’re running away, where are you going?”
“I don’t have time now. “I’ll explain later.”
The Cradle of Rest, which was shaking violently, looked as if it might be destroyed at any moment.
I have to go quickly.
I put my hand on the door to the underworld and shouted.
“Use your invitation!!!”
[An invitation to the Underworld is used. Move to the underworld.]
Grumbling
The door to the underworld was opened without me opening it.
The sticky texture of darkness visible inside was the same as when opening the door to the underworld.
No, it wasn’t the same.
Because in the past, that sticky darkness didn’t come out.
The darkness that filled the inside with the gate of the underworld came out of the gate and entered my body.
And,
“Wow!!”
My body is being sucked into the door as I feel a tremendous suction power.
“Master!!!!”
“Oppa!!!”
I heard my women’s cries, but I had no time to react.
Just like that, my body entered the gate of the Underworld and was buried in the swirling darkness,
Leaving behind Juni El’s long-running call, she lost her mind.
****
I feel dizzy.
Did I drink again?
I think I had this experience a while ago.
That was when I opened my eyes in the world of fairies, being chased by a destroyer, and now I am being chased by a destroyer…
“Ugh!!”
I woke up with a heavy breath and what caught my eye was a very luxuriously decorated room.
Rich and sparkling silk lace.
Looking at the colorfully patterned bedspreads and blankets, you can say that it has a girlish sensibility, but my conclusion is that it is definitely not a girl’s room.
They’re all black.
Well, there are all these rooms.
No, where is this anyway?
I must have been chased by the Destroyer and used the Underworld invitation to dive into the gate of the Underworld.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that I woke up on a bed in such a gorgeous and bizarre room.
As I was about to get off the bed, leaving my confused mind behind, the door burst open and someone came in.
A beautiful woman holding a black box in her hand, her whole body covered in black clothes.
The woman, with her blonde hair and green eyes, had a very pale complexion.
“You’re awake.”
A voice full of kindness that sounds very friendly.
It even feels polite and polite.
I looked at her dumbfounded face.
“Uh… Er…”
“I am Selena, a servant who serves the master of the underworld. Nice to meet you, Kang Min-gu.”
“Uh… Ah, hello.”
“I don’t know how long it has been since a guest came to the Underworld. That’s why the owner also has great expectations for meeting Min-gu. Let’s go together. The master of the underworld is waiting.”
“So, the master of the underworld?”
In response to my embarrassed voice, the woman named Selena nodded her head with a calm smile.
As I was trying to get out of bed, guided by her hand, a thought about my subordinates suddenly came to mind.
I came to the underworld through the gate of the underworld, but my subordinates remained in the cradle.
I don’t think the destroyer would have done anything more since I, the target, was gone, but it’s still an unavoidable fact that I’m anxious.
I urgently summoned the Cradle of Rest.
My subordinates rushing out of the cradle.
Juniel, Jiyoon, Si-eun, Jisoo, Isabella, Airi… Whew, there aren’t any vacancies.
Thank goodness.
“Master! “You’re safe!!”
“Brother! Are you okay?”
“Master, Airi knew that you would be safe.”
As expected, my subordinates rushed to me.
Selena shouted in surprise as she saw me buried by the women.
“Oh my, so many of her customers…”
I said to Selena, pushing away my subordinates who were clinging to me.
“Ah, these are my… Companions. “Is it okay if I meet the owner of this place with everyone?”
I’m meeting someone I don’t even know, and it would be much more reassuring to go with my subordinates than to go alone.
It might be able to protect me in an unexpected situation.
Selina thought about my words for a moment, then nodded and said.
“Well… I guess it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the six new people seem to be residents of this place, so I think only Mingu can change into these.”
What does it mean to be a resident here?
Since all my subordinates are dead, does this mean they are residents of the underworld?
I received a black box from Selena.
Come to think of it, I told you to change clothes.
So then… This is clothes, right?
“The clothes are made to your measurements, so they will fit your body perfectly. Then, I would like you to change your clothes. “Once you’ve changed, please come outside.”
Selena bowed her head and went out.
Then I sat down on the bed and sighed.
“Wow, I don’t know what it is.”
“Lord, master? “Where am I?”
“… Since you came here using the Underworld invitation ticket, it must be the Underworld, right? Oh, what about the destroyer? What happened to the destroyer?”
“When the master entered the gate of the underworld, he stopped knocking on the cradle, but he disappeared somewhere else.”
“… I’m glad. Oh, it was really dizzying. “You almost died.”
“By the way, master. This is the Underworld? So does that mean it’s the world of the dead?”
“I guess that’s it, right? “The Underworld is that kind of world.”
“Ah, for some reason… I felt very cozy and nice when I came here.”
“Did you feel that way?”
Juniel nods his head at my words.
Not only Juniel but all the other subordinates also nodded.
The air itself feels as if it is being held in its mother’s arms.
I don’t know anything about that.
It’s just… I don’t feel any difference from this world.
Anyway, I opened the black box I was holding.
There were neatly folded black clothes and black shoes.
It looks like a suit.
Change into these, right?
I took out the clothes in the box and changed them.
A suit with both top and bottom black.
As Selena said, the black clothes, including the dress shirt, fit her body perfectly.
They say the clothes are made to measure, but it seems to be true.
But when did you measure it?
Was it when I was lying down on the bed?
With all the shoes on… It feels like I’m at a funeral.
Well, it’s all just black clothes.
“Okay then… Let’s go meet the person who is the owner of this place.”
“What kind of person is the owner of this place?”
“I don’t know, but he is the master of the underworld… I guess he can’t be called a human being. Well, anyway, since I came here using an invitation, I won’t try to harm you. “Thanks to you, I survived, so I’d like to say thank you.”
“Master. Hehe, you’ll be okay, right?”
After stroking the head of Juniel, who expressed concern, I opened the door and went out.
Selena, who was waiting at the door, looked at me and smiled and said.
“You look great on me. Are there any inconvenient places?”
“Yes, they are comfortable as if they were my clothes. But… Is it okay for my companions to go on like this?”
“Of course. Since Mingu is not a resident of the Underworld, he needed to wear those clothes. Since the people in your party are residents of this place to begin with, it doesn’t matter if you leave as is. Well then, shall we go?”
When I nodded her head, Selena started walking ahead of her, and my group and I started walking after her.
It seems like a very large building, with long hallways continuing continuously.
Like the room, there are many luxurious decorations, but as expected, it is all black, so it is difficult to say that it is particularly cool or beautiful.
While walking down the hallway, I was able to encounter many employees wearing the same clothes as Selena.
They bowed politely as they saw me walking down the hallway.
Wow, why are you greeting me so sincerely?
Burdeningly.
I can feel his strong favor towards me not only in his attitude but also in his facial expression.
Why do you like me so much?
With doubts in mind, I followed Selena down the long hallway.
End of the hallway.
There is a large door with an unusual feel.
And the energy flowing out from within is also unusual.
The closer I get, the more I feel intimidated by an inexplicable sense of intimidation.
Is there someone who is the master of the underworld inside that door?
“Lord, master.”
When I turned around at Juniel’s call, my companions all stopped walking and looked at me.
“. Why?”
“Master, let me go alone. “We will wait here.”
“… Huh?”
Not only Juniel, but all of my companions nodded as if they were thinking the same thing.
We decided to go together, what are you talking about?
As I looked at him with questioning eyes, Juniel spoke to me.
“Well, the owner of this place wants to treat me alone. We will meet separately after we meet the master. So wait…”
“The owner of this place said that? When? “I didn’t hear it.?”
“You just said that. So we’ll just wait.”
“…”
Did I say something so that only my subordinates could hear?
No, even so, my subordinates give up going with me so easily?
Could it be that something like group hypnosis has taken effect?
Selena spoke to me as if to reassure me as I looked at her with questions, doubts, and concerns.
“I guess the Master of the Underworld hopes to meet only Min-gu. I understand that you are worried, but there is no need to worry at all. There is no way he would ever do anything harmful to Mingu.”
“…”
It’s really confusing.
Hey what.
Judging by the energy felt, the person inside the door is a transcendent being.
If I were to pull a trick, it would be no use even if I tried to run away…
So I guess I have no choice but to just believe and do as I’m told.
I nodded at her, and Selena smiled and approached the huge door.
A huge door that opens without a sound.
Following Selena’s guidance, I walked inside,
I was able to meet the master of the underworld.
