Chapter 149 – The Cursed Throne
“Well… You bastard who worships space kitties as gods, it’s only once or twice that your mind wanders. That’s it, you savage bastard.”
‘…Is that bastard, the starting mate of Part 2, Battle Priest Bruno? He has a bad personality in the game, but he’s infamous in the game world…’
When Seong-il thinks of him, another man next to him talks to Bruno as if to stop him.
“Stop it, Bruno. You know Seong-il is emotionally unstable. Don’t push him too hard.”
‘…Hmm, I was worried about that bastard because he appeared as a madman in Part 3, but luckily in Part 2, it seems he hasn’t fallen yet?’
‘Anyway… It’s obvious without looking at the situation. The main character and his colleagues must have been kidnapped by an evil mage while exploring the underground waterway requested by the Temple of Justice. It’s the beginning of the second episode.’
Seong-il finally figured out the situation. Then he sits on the floor of the cage and continues his thoughts.
‘Looking at the situation… I think I’m in the position of a barbarian warrior… If I wait, a fellow thief who was not caught by the mage will come to help, right? Well… I guess I’ll just have to wait patiently for him to come.’
After finishing his thoughts, Seong-il sits down expressionlessly and waits for his fellow thieves. OK…
“Is everyone okay?”
A cute red-haired woman wearing leather armor appears in front of Bruno and Seong-il.
“Uh. It’s okay, Senna. You fucking little bastard.”
Just like he did to Seong-il, Bruno spits out abusive language equally toward women. Seeing him like that, Seong-il laughs bitterly and replies to the woman.
“I’m fine too.”
“… Huh? You seem to be much better than usual…?”
Seong-il’s original character, who appeared as a half-crazy guy in the “Cursed Throne” Series. However, Seong-il starts telling her lies about her relationship with her because she’s bothered to pretend to be her lunatic throughout her game.
“I feel sober after getting hit on the head by them earlier. By the way… Can you open the door for me?”
Seeing Seong-il ask a very intelligent question, Sena, embarrassed, answers him.
“…That’s it. I can’t see the key. What should I do?”
‘Hmm… In this work, did a savage warrior go crazy and break the iron bars?’
Thinking so, Seong-il gathers up her inner strength without saying anything, grabs hold of the barbed wire, and pulls it open.
“Geuggugguk!!!”
“And…!!”
The co-workers look surprised at Seong-il’s strength. Ignoring them, Seong-il continued to give strength to the iron cage with all his might. The iron bars begin to bend in proportion to the time.
“Whoa… Whoa…”
Seong-il came out after breaking the iron cage. Towards him, Bruno starts shouting at him violently.
“Hey! Me too…!!”
“Fuck… That’s too much talk.”
Annoyed Seong-il answers him with a rough frown, and Bruno closes his mouth with a grim expression. However, since he could not abandon his colleague, Seong-il approached the cage and once again opened the cage with all his might.
“Ughyakyakyam!!”
Awesome!!
As expected, it doesn’t take long before the iron cage opens. When the iron cage is opened, Seong-il collapses exhausted to the floor, exhaling heavily and recovering his physical strength.
“Whoa… Whoa…”
“Thank you! Seongil!”
Bruno and Van start to support Seong-il, thanking Seong-il for their conscience. With their help, Seongil gets up from his seat and starts moving along the class.
“By the way, where is this place? Senna, how did you escape?”
“First of all, this place seems to be a mage’s laboratory built inside the underground waterway… I pretended to faint while he subdued us with magic and ordered his minion golem to carry it. Peek. He’s here to save you when he goes off to stop ‘another’ intruder.”
At Sena’s words, her class asks her a question with a puzzled look on her face.
“A new intruder?”
“Yeah… I don’t know who it is, but it looks like someone broke in and started a fight. Why don’t we run away before it gets into trouble?”
“Yeah… Hehe…”
However, shortly after walking, Van staggered over her body after letting out a painful moan. Seeing him like that, Sena is worried and asks him how she is doing.
“Are you okay? Why…?”
‘Because of the torture, what…’
Enraged at the appearance of half of the party invading his dungeon, the mage captured the party and tortured them with cruel magic experiments.
Then, the mage experimented with soul-related torture, realized that half was a being with a piece of the demon’s soul, and tortured only half mercilessly to explore the mystery of the soul. Did.
“It looks like the aftereffects of torture… Bruno. Can I use a recovery spell on Van?”
At the words of such a holy day, Bruno frowned and silently approached Van and began to recite a spell.
“God of the mighty hammer and anvil. Bina, your servant, bless the warrior…”
Bruno’s prayer, unswearingly pious. After a while, his hand glows blue and starts to cast light on Ban.
‘Oh… That’s a healing spell!’
Seongil’s admiration for witnessing the priest’s holy spell for the first time. It seemed that he would not disappoint his admiration. After a while, Ban gets up from his seat with a calm expression on his face.
“Huh… So much better. Thanks Bruno.”
“Huh! It’s a makeshift solution. What did he do to you? His intestines are shaken. After half a day, he’ll be the same as before. You need a break.”
“Okay… After we get out, we should take a break. Let’s go out first.”
Senna interrupts their conversation and speaks up.
“Ah! If you’re going out, follow me! I know where the kidnappers put our stolen equipment…!”
“Yes. Let’s go there for now.”
The group follows Senna to the warehouse, then grabs their gear and starts equipping their weapons.
“Huh… Anyway, where should I go…?”
“Ah! I memorized the way! Let’s go!”
In response to Ban’s question, Senna volunteered to be her guide. Her group started moving her sewers after her as she did so. However, she walks after her and, shortly after, a grotesque monster made of stone greets her party.
“It’s a golem!! Everyone take out your weapons!!”
At Ban’s cry, the comrades each pull out their weapons. Seong-il also follows his cry and takes out the longsword he took from the warehouse earlier and starts holding it.
‘Now… Is this your first swordsmanship?’
So Seong-il takes the Taegeuk swordsman’s posture for the first time in a while and glares at the golem.
“The great anvil god…”
Then Bruno, holding a warhammer behind him, uttered an incantation as if mumbling. Not long after he casts the spell, Seong-il feels his courage welling up inside of him.
‘Oh…! Is it a buff spell?!’
When courage springs up and fear disappears, Seong-il rushes at the golem without hesitation. Then the golem starts attacking him with a giant hand.
‘Now… First of all, footsteps…’
Although he had never used it in real combat yet, Seongil practiced Taegeukgeomgyeol steadily without missing a day. As if the result was naturally displayed in his body, he wielded the longsword at the golem, unfolding the Taegeuk sword resolution like water flowing.
Awesome!!
Due to Eunwol’s warning, Seongil feared that his weapon would break, so he rarely used his inner power and wielded his sword only with brute force. Nevertheless, Sungil’s longsword with formidable strength could easily slice through the golem’s rock arm.
“!!”
Seong-il’s companions looked at him in disbelief, but Seong-il, who was in high spirits from the battle, ignored them and mercilessly began to wield his longsword at the stone golem.
‘Slow!’
It was obviously a menacing golem attack, but to Seong-il, who had experienced quite a lot of combat experience over the past few months, the golem’s movements seemed like a joke.
“Bake it!!”
A golem with large and small scars all over its body after being attacked countless times by Seongil. As if the golem felt strongly threatened, it roared wildly and began to swing its hands more destructively.
“It’s the core! I can see the core!! Everyone aim there!!”
Advice from Senna, who used to throw darts around and annoy the golem. As soon as they heard her words, Ban and Seong-il quickly rushed forward and relentlessly attacked the golem’s core.
“Bake it!!!”
Perhaps feeling a greater threat from their attack, the golem also moved more violently, and Seong-il, seeing it, shouted to Ban.
“Van!
A young paladin who is startled by the uncharacteristic barbaric warrior’s cold direction. Then, he nodded his head and quickly started cutting the golem from behind.
“Gwaaaaa!!”
Pooh!!
Not long after, the golem’s core was pierced by Ban wielding a longsword from behind. The golem with a broken core collapses on the ground in vain.
“Wow… Seongil! You…”
The party approached in surprise at the appearance of the barbarian warrior who showed amazing confidence against the golem. Bruno asks him a question.
“…Are you sure it’s our barbarian warrior’s holy day? It feels like people changed in an instant…?”
At his words, Seong-il agonizes and thinks to himself.
‘…Fuck. Did I act too differently from the concept? What’s the best way…?’
Seong-il, who was worried, thought that the original character was a psychopath and started to take action.
“Khahaha!! Why did I become so outstanding? You guys, from now on, serve the space kitty that I serve!! Then you can change into a cool and great warrior like me!!”
“…”
The party freezes in an instant at the words of such a holy day. They glared at the holy day for a long time, then opened their mouths as if they were dumbfounded.
“…You’re a madman after all.”
“That savage is like that.”
Senna and Bruno, who made a ridiculous expression, left Seongil’s surroundings as if they had nothing to do. Ban, taken aback by their reaction, speaks to Seong-il as if apologizing.
“Ah… I’m sorry. Seong-il. Not everyone is malicious.”
“Heh… Those who don’t know the greatness of Space Nyanko are like that!”
“…”
At the words of such a holy day, he was half speechless, closed his mouth, and began to walk quietly on the road. Looking at them, Seong-il starts to think.
‘Now… Here’s an excellent longsword you can get early on, right?’
Seong-il, a deceased person who loved 『The Cursed Throne』 So much that he watched the ending more than 100 times, recalls the game and thinks of a hidden item.
‘Perhaps… If you put the golem core, the life support device of the ‘eternal sufferer’ that you meet a little while later, and the magic lamp that imprisoned Ifrit, if you put these three things into the sewer in order, the cursed sword will come out.’
‘Even though it’s a sword with some side effects… It’s a sword that can be covered as much as you like because the side effects are limited. After acquiring the sword, pay the customs duty and return to reality to practice ‘Taiji Sword’ in earnest!!’
Seong-il, who decided to acquire the Hidden Peace ‘Whispering Magic Sword’ hidden in the very beginning, secretly intervenes in the movement of the party while hiding his inner thoughts.
“Hmm… Half! Why don’t we go here rather than there? It sounds strange…”
Ban flinched at Seong-il’s strong suggestion and looked in the direction he was pointing. He sighs, nods his head lightly, and moves with the party in that direction. OK…
『Khehek… Khehek…』
Then, in a huge tank, a person with limbs cut off and a respirator running to survive appears.
“Oh my God… The god of hammers and anvils…”
Bruno is speechless at how cruel the human form is in the tank, and he calls the name of the god he believes in.
『Lord.. Master, are you here…!』
A male in an aquarium whose eyes are sewn up with stitches. He begins to talk to the party despite apparently having a tube forcibly inserted into his mouth. Then, seeing him like that, the class panicked and started asking him questions.
“No. I’m not your master… But what are you…”
『Above.. Aren’t you the great mage, Ikanis?』
“..Yes, but..”
“Please!! Please!! Please kill me!! I beg you like this!!』
