Chapter 283 – Guardian of the Dungeon
Thinking so, Seong-il orders the four alter egos so that the white knight can be safely exposed outdoors, and moves to the center of the dungeon.
‘Oh… Now it feels like a real temple…?’
The interior of the gloomy temple, worthy of the name of the god of the moon. However, he is interested in the appearance of the temple, which feels its own sanctity, and enters the interior on the holy day.
“Ah, are you here?”
“Hi.”
As always. Rassal popped out without revealing any signs. With a comfortable voice, he stands by Seong-il and guides him.
“Follow me.”
“Huh.”
The appearance of the statue of God as you follow Lassal into the interior. I could feel Seongil spitting out more intense waves than before.
‘…Is that a core?’
And the strange sphere of energy between the two gathered hands of the statue. Seong-il intuitively realizes that that power is the ‘core’.
‘It feels similar to a dungeon in real life.’
As I approached the core, feeling something attracted, the bracelet I received from the previous moon god started to glow.
‘Oh! Is it a save point?’
Since the play has progressed satisfactorily so far, Seong-il tries to quickly save the game by removing the variable.
“Attempting to force a second regression time. Do you agree? (Y/N)』
“Of course!”
『Return time update completed.』
After completing the save, Seong-il felt relieved. Rassal approaches him and talks to him with a smile.
“Whoa… Did you finish your business?”
“Huh? Uhm…”
“In that sense, could you please do what I asked you to do yesterday? We are very short on labor.”
“Ah. The minions?”
“Yes. The goblins listen well, but… Because they are small in size and small in number, there are obvious limitations to getting them to work.”
“Ah, I see what you mean.”
“Whoops… Thank you. Take it.”
Rassal handed over the beads used to make monsters in the past. Seong-il receives the goods he gives and immediately leaves for exploration.
“Huh? Where are you going?”
The Elf sisters who were sitting in the middle of the plaza with Seongil’s alter ego and mocking the White Knight. They ask questions with curious expressions as Seong-il moves away carrying a strange marble.
“Ah, to ‘recruit’ new troops to work for the Holy Land.”
“Oh! How…?”
To the curious girls, Seong-il explains an anecdote about the rebirth of goblins by slaughtering them in the past.
“Ohhh… So you’re slaughtering monsters and extracting their souls…?”
“Hmm…?”
Belen is listening to the goblin anecdote by Seongil’s side before he knew it. He starts questioning Seong-il instead of the sisters.
“Well… That’s right.”
“Then, can I join this mission?”
“…Aren’t you busy with your research?”
“Of course I’m busy! However, I need ‘handlers’ to build a research facility.”
“Hmm? What about the existing skeletons?”
“They turned them into guards…”
“Aha!”
“After hearing the story of the great warrior, it seems that marbles do not touch the bodies of monsters separately. Then, since I can ‘recycle’ the remaining corpses, isn’t it good for my sister and brother-in-law?”
“Ah, that’s right.”
“Excluding the ones I’ll use as my janitors, I can turn the rest of the sanctuary into guards, so the efficiency will be doubled.”
“Ohhh…”
Belen’s words that he had no reason to reject. Seong-il nodded happily and decided to slaughter the gnolls with him.
“Me too! I want to go too!”
“Hmm? You too?”
“Yeah! If I go, I’ll be able to quickly locate the targets using my skills!”
“Ah… I guess so.”
“Sungil nodded his head to Leah’s advice and agreed.
“What about Leah?”
“Oh, Leah wants to play with that socialite some more.”
“…You know you shouldn’t get hurt, right?”
“Of course! It’s just Master Seongil, I will never cross the line you ask for.”
“…Trust me.”
In the worst case, there is a way to return to the save point, so Seong-il decides to trust Leah.
“Are you leaving right away?”
“Hmm? I thought so?”
“Ah! Now… Hold on…!! I have something to show you.”
At the end of the holy day, Belen hurriedly moved to his inn. Seeing him like that, Lena also asks Seong-il for his understanding and leaves to get the necessary items.
“Whoaam…”
That time when I thought it was a bit annoying. A strange existence begins to be felt in Seongil’s 『Emotion』.
‘What…?’
Seong-il turned his head naturally. In his eyes, a sturdy, heavily armed knight appears.
“Uh… Who is that guy?”
Although there was no vitality and an ominous energy was spreading everywhere, he was certain that he was a knight belonging to the Church of Light that he killed yesterday.
“Ah, that’s exactly what Daejeonsa-nim thinks.”
“Is this what…?”
“Yes. A death knight.”
“…You made me a death knight so quickly? Wasn’t that a pretty high-ranking being…?”
“Ah, it would have taken a long time as usual.”
“…However?”
“It’s thanks to the Great Warrior. He was a corpse that had just died, so I was able to easily turn him into a death knight.”
“Aha…”
“Well… It’s not a proper death knight yet. It’s more like a zombie.
“Right.”
“Anyway, now this guy will be the main force defending our sanctuary. It’s all thanks to the Great Warrior. So he definitely wanted to show the Great Warrior the finished look.”
“Aha…”
With those words, Velen sends the death knight away again. After that, he and Seong-il chase after Lena and start wandering around the inside of the labyrinth.
“Shh!”
“Hmm?”
Lena covers her mouth with her hand for a moment and gives her a signal to be quiet. She puts on the rogue’s signature black hood and uses strange stealth techniques to get around her.
“Whoa… It’s a bit much…?”
“How many are there?”
“About 30 to 40? Plus, all the members are warriors.”
“Oh… Is it?”
“Yeah. It doesn’t seem like a normal village. It’s probably a kind of forward base set up for conflict with other races…”
“It will be fun.”
After answering like that, Seong-il quietly raises a shadow and wraps it around his body, then checks his surroundings with 『Emotion』.
‘Hmm… They’re definitely stronger than the goblins. But that’s all.’
When the enemy’s combat level doesn’t seem to be seriously threatening, Seong-il takes out his sword and tells the party.
“I’ll wipe them out by myself. You guys just watch.”
“Yes!? Ho… Alone?!”
“Yeah. Judging from my estimation, I think it’s worth fighting alone.”
When Seong-il spoke so confidently, Belen was surprised and asked him, stammering her voice. Not only that, she continues to talk to him, frowning on Lena.
“Hmm… There are a lot of gnolls and most of them are warriors, so I was going to say let’s go somewhere else… Are you sure that’s okay?”
“Yes. Enough.”
After saying that, Seong-il took out the 『Spell Book of Wonder』 From his inventory.
“…That?”
“My magic book. I’m going to confuse them with this.”
“Yes?! Did you know you could use magic?!”
Belen looks shocked at Seongil’s words that he will use magic.
Seeing his expression, Seong-il shrugs and explains the situation.
“No, I’m no stranger to magic. I’ll just say I can use some things with the blessing of God.”
Seong-il, who had no intention of revealing his fortune to Belen, simply summarized the explanation and summoned his alter ego.
“Hey…Then, shall we play?”
Seong-il, who hides using the magic of the invisible ring, carefully tries to infiltrate a corner of their village.
‘I’ll have to try some magic. When I played 『The Throne of the Cursed』, All the mobs such as Orcs and Gnolls were completely swept away by the 『Death Haze』… I wonder if that’s the case here too…?’
Just in case, Seong-il puts his hands on the magic book and casts 『Death Haze』.
Shah ah.
A green sphere of gas that appears with a strange noise of gas leaking from a valve.
The sphere starts to fly in an instant in the direction Sungil wants.
Hwaaaaak!!
‘Um… This is a bit dangerous, isn’t it? I need to get away.’
Despite being 30m away, when the poison gas starts to cover the surroundings in an instant, Seong-il quickly moves to the place where the party is.
“Kieek!! Kehek!! Kek!!”
‘It kills the effect…’
Originally, Seong-il tried to slaughter the gnolls by charging with his alter ego after properly draining the enemy’s physical strength with 『Death Haze』.
However, when the gnolls die before he can lift the sword, he realizes that the magic’s effect is beyond imagination.
‘…It was the most useful magic among the 5 class magics, but it works so well here?’
Within 10 minutes of using the spell, most gnolls are poisoned and die.
Embarrassed by the sight, Seong-il gives up the thought of a surprise attack and returns to the group by releasing his hiding place.
“Oh my God… What is that magic? It’s a type of magic I’ve never seen before…”
“This…? It’s a necromancy-type magic spell… But isn’t there a spell like this here?”
“No?!”
“…”
『Death Haze』, Which seems to have a different worldview and does not exist. Seong-il thinks about magic with him moderately.
‘…If I massacre the mediocre mobs every day with the spells written in the 『Spellbook of Wonders』 And turn them into subordinates, I’ll be able to organize an army in an instant…?’
Of course, if you do, you will be able to massacre miscellaneous mobs such as gnolls, orcs, and goblins, but you realize that they will be of sufficient help given the circumstances of the poor dungeon.
‘…I have a sense of how to increase my power.’
At that time, Seong-il was in so much trouble. Belen approached him and spoke to him in a trembling voice.
“Master Seongil!!”
“Huh?”
“Have you absorbed all the souls? If you’ve finished, I want to resurrect them as undead…”
“Ah! Hold on…”
After those words, Seong-il puts his thoughts together and begins to absorb a lot of soul into the jewel.
“Huh… It’s done.”
Seong-il, who thought so, grabbed Belen and told him the progress.
At the words of such a holy day, he runs to the corpses of Noll with an excited expression and begins to chant strange spells.
‘Oh…’
Then, shortly after, the corpses rise from their seats. Although they look slower and less energetic than they were when they were alive, they get up anyway and start listening to Velen’s orders.
‘Hmm… Let’s just break the quest that’s already happened!’
Thinking so, Seong-il naturally picks up his phone and looks at the quest window.
Sub Quest (1/2)
– Hunt gnolls and collect souls to make minions (42/100)
‘…If I just rob two armies of the nearby village, it will be over soon, right?’
Thinking so, Seong-il sent Lena to explore the surrounding villages, and he attacked the two small villages in the same way and hunted them down.
‘I see… It’s a power worthy of the name Artifact. 『Wonderful Magic Book』.’
Seong-il sees the 『Wonderful Magic Book』 And thinks that it is an object that has reached the realm of the gods that humans cannot create.
Seong-il returned to his home base after such a light hunt. The residents watch the procession with a look of astonishment at their appearance.
“Ohhh… How can I get this much in just half a day…?”
And, as if that appearance was impressive to Lassal, he came out to meet him with a satisfied expression that he had never shown before.
“Uh. Apart from the soul, I’m thinking of turning the corpses into zombies and using them for miscellaneous labor.”
“Good! Good…!!”
With that answer, Lassal receives the beads from Seong-il and moves to the sanctuary to start working in earnest.
‘Now… I’ve finished the troublesome mission, now I can focus on teaching the white knights until the next wave.’
Seong-il moved to the plaza with that thought in mind. In front of his eyes, the figure of a white knight struggling with pleasure in his naked body comes into view.
‘Oh wow…’
Standing upright in the middle of the plaza for all to see, her private parts were endlessly caressed with a rotor and struggling.
Although her face is completely covered by a mask, we cannot see her expression, but the earnest moan that flows from her mouth makes it easy to know her condition.
‘Hmm… Shall we go to the next step…?’
Thinking so, Seong-il orders her alter ego to drag her and start moving her somewhere.
