Chapter 155 – War (2)
*
The organization was closely monitoring the hero’s movements.
And he was convinced by tracking the hero’s actions of his. The hero’s next destination is the second black tombstone.
I don’t know how the hero found out the top-secret information of the organization, but looking at the steps so far, there was no doubt.
Of course, the organization wasn’t just watching it. The organization orders gave to one of its trusty men to stop the hero.
The person who received the order was an idolater.
As soon as the idolater received the order, his complexion his turned dark.
“Damn old people. How can I stop the warriors?”
The warriors’ actions have already been heard. Not only Furuku and Nasen, but even Barikmeteo died.
He even gave Varikmeteo a stone to create the enemy’s alter ego, which was his secret weapon his.
“This is asking me to wait and die.”
To the superiors, an idolater was nothing more and nothing less than an expendable item.
After so many years of loyalty to the organization.
But it didn’t matter. The idolaters didn’t like the old people either.
It did n’t matter whether the old people died or not, as long as he fulfilled his purpose his as well.
There was only one problem.
It wasn’t difficult to cheat without obeying orders here, but if you did that, the warriors could really break the second black tombstone.
Not as much as that.
No one should hinder His resurrection. One black tombstone was already broken.
Alas, following the orders of the elders has become the most reasonable thing even for idolaters.
“Damn it. What’s wrong with my arms?”
If I had to become a scapegoat, how good it would have been if they had become those old people.
“…No answer.”
A fearsome warrior and his allies.
If there is someone other than the Hero that I care about, it is the annoying man.
Barik Meteor had gnashed his teeth at the annoying man until he was stoned by an idolater.
“Umm. He looks ordinary, but he’s the most troublesome guy…”
Scary guy
After all, it’s not normal enough to join the hero’s party. Barik Meteor might have had a hard time with that annoying man until the end.
The idolater tore his head off. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a way to stop the warriors.
For now, I decided to do my best to cause trouble in the border area as I always did.
*
A castle with the atmosphere of a battlefield.
Tension always lingered in the castle closest to the border.
The undead were infested around the castle, and provocations on the land did not cease. No one could relax here.
For the first time in a castle with such a bloody atmosphere, the tension is released. Like a flower that bloomed after overcoming the cold in the middle of winter.
It was all thanks to Lina’s group’s beauty.
Lina’s group’s beauty was so beautiful that it even melted the tension on the battlefield.
Of course, there were no soldiers who looked at them openly or talked to them.
The name of a warrior was not light enough for a single soldier to approach lightly.
But don’t you know just by pretending? Glances and focused eyes.
There was an atmosphere that couldn’t be hidden no matter how hard they tried to hide it.
I feel like a manager who takes real idols with me.
William, the commander, must have sensed it as well, and shouted at the soldiers.
“Everyone don’t go away! Aren’t the warriors uncomfortable!”
“I’m sorry!”
Secretly creating work near the warriors, the glancing soldiers disappear.
“Forgive me. Warrior.
It’s not usually like this, but since it’s a place where only dull guys live, it seems that the subordinates have lost control.”
It deserves it.
It feels like a female idol has suddenly invaded a male military barracks.
Both the guarding soldiers and the cleaning soldiers were distracted, but all their nerves were with Lina and the others.
Among them, there were not a few people who looked at Kerry with longing eyes.
‘I can feel that it’s become a warrior’s party.’
Up until now, I’ve been avoiding people’s eyes as much as possible, so I wasn’t aware of it.
Does an idol manager feel like this? No. Idol managers can’t play rice cake with idols.
Kerry was in the middle of a useless thought.
Lina began to get her point across to William.
“Before I came here, I saw terrified soldiers. What happened here?”
William waved his hand in resentment.
“…Embarrassing, but you’ve probably seen deserters. Things aren’t looking good these days, so it happens often.
You don’t have to worry about such cowards.”
“I don’t care about deserters. They care what they see and what frightens them.”
The forefront of the empire is where Astria and small frictions are frequent. That’s why the soldiers had a lot of practical experience.
They are now soldiers who look bewildered while watching the warriors, but they are veterans in their own way.
The veteran soldiers got scared and ran away.
“…I ran away because my heart was broken by the wicked magic that the Astrian guys used.
Undead, hallucinations, plagues are all forbidden even in war, but they don’t mind using them. They are very evil.”
“…”
‘I must have heard that Lina is also Astrian.’
Lina knew. It wasn’t Astria that used wicked magic. Not even an empire.
That organization.
They were boiling the feelings between the two countries in order to cause a holy war.
Lina looked at William sadly.
‘William…Your sincere faith is rather covering your eyes.’
Lina couldn’t say that now.
Even if you tell him, William won’t listen. As faithful as he was, his anger against the evil magic was great.
‘As expected, the surest way to block the holy war is to get rid of them.’
Even while Lina was thinking about this and that, William bobbled at Lina about her Astrian wickedness.
There seemed to be a little bit of madness in those eyes and voices of hatred.
Lina listened to her story about her, and she suddenly said.
“William. We want to go to Astria. I have work to do in Astria.”
“…Is it to fulfill the hero’s mission?”
“That’s right.”
“All right. I will do my best to help.”
Also, the warrior’s name is convenient. If you say mission, a devout believer like William understands right away.
“But, as you know, things are not looking good right now. It’s not strange when provocations against each other come and go.
As much as that, the borders of Astria will be strict.”
“…”
“A battle is probably inevitable. If you’re willing to accept that, explain the weak points…”
“No. William. There will be no battle.”
“Yes? That’s impossible As I said, the atmosphere is not good right now, so we are on high alert.”
“The dungeon… Can’t it lead to the Valley of Screams?”
“!”
“If it’s a dungeon, you can cross the border without getting caught on Astria’s border. The dungeon doesn’t even protect Astria’s soldiers.”
“How did you do that… Wasn’t this your first trip?”
“I was just lucky to find out.”
As expected, if she trusted Rina and followed her, she had nothing to worry about. Rather, it is a dungeon.
If it’s a dungeon, I have the confidence to do one strand.
Lina already had her plan vaguely in her head.
But her regressor her, Lina, also had a small problem.
‘I have too many things to do.’
You must prepare for the dungeon raid. The Valley of Screams was different from the dungeons I had encountered so far.
Thorough preparation was required.
In addition, since she came to the border area this time, she had to figure out how much the charter had changed compared to her previous life her.
I had to weigh the rhythm of their changed plans. If possible, he had to persuade William to get rid of his blind hatred for Astria.
Lina had clearly seen in her previous life that each and every person’s small hatred gathered and developed into a crusade that would destroy the continent.
“If the warriors want to attack the Valley of Scream, I won’t stop them. There must have been a way, so you brought up the story.”
“…”
Despite William’s words that she would actively help, Rina’s expression her was dark.
A hesitant silence.
Kerry recognized Lina’s concerns at once. It was because it clearly showed what Lina was worried about.
‘Because I want to do it all alone. Busy Is it Lina?’
Kerry said to Lina.
“Please leave the dungeon preparation to me. Lina.”
“Kerry?”
“Lina seemed to have a lot of other things to do. Aren’t you?”
“…”
He is a ghostly man. Lina even felt as if her inner thoughts of her were read. But she was just as capable.
‘I can trust Kerry and leave it to her.’
Kerry surprised Lina with her perfect preparation her in her her last dungeon her as well.
In addition, I was grateful for Kerry’s kindness for her stepping out first even without asking.
“All right. I will leave the preparations for the dungeon raid to Kerry-sama.”
Kerry nodded her head.
To Kerry, clearing a dungeon was no different than a test she took with an answer sheet.
*
Lina moved hurriedly, as if she seemed to have a lot to do with William.
“Then, Kerry. I wish you well.”
The dungeon raid preparations were entrusted solely to Kerry.
Kerry moved to the Valley of Screams under the guidance of William’s subordinate his.
The Valley of Screams, as its name suggests, was a spooky place. It hadn’t even arrived yet, and it was covered with scrawny dead trees and fog.
Said the frightened soldier.
“Thank you, warriors. My toad-like son and wife are waiting for me at home.”
“…”
I wonder if I can guide you properly only when I’m so scared. Nothing much to worry about. Because Natasha was next to Kerry. There is also Victoria.
“West. I’m scared! It’s so spooky in here!”
“…”
‘Natasha is much stronger than me. ‘
Kerry just accepted Natasha’s whining.
Natasha was enough to escort her, but Victoria said that she had nothing to do and she insisted on following.
“Kerry. Do you really need to check the dungeon yourself? It’s dangerous outside the castle because of the monster.”
“I need to check.”
If you look at it with the eyes of a goddess, you can see all the information of the dungeon. Can’t not see it
But she can’t even say it right away.
It didn’t matter. Because I can make an excuse.
“You can get a lot of information just by observing the surroundings of the dungeon.
You can see what kind of monsters are waiting in the dungeon from the monsters that pop out of the dungeon, and you can guess the environment inside the dungeon to some extent through the surrounding environment.”
“…”
“If you look closely, there is a lot of information to be gained around the dungeon. It’s hard to explain, though.”
It’s all plausible bullshit, but it works.
“What. You will do well.”
“Right. The West will take care of it.”
Neither Natasha nor Victoria had any interest in these things. They were two people who could be trusted with anything Kerry said.
‘No. If it’s their personalities, they might not even ask what they’re investigating in the future…’
Anyway, Kerry continued moving toward the dungeon.
She walked through her fog, relying on the dim light held by the soldier.
Sometimes when the wind blew, the branches of the dry tree swayed. It’s like a horror movie in a movie.
Horror is just disgusting.
It was very unsettling to be called the Valley of Screams right from the name. Horrors are not allowed. He hates monsters like Wraith.
Eventually, Kerry’s party arrived at the Valley of Screams.
“Here it is. Warriors. The dungeon has progressed from the valley ahead, so I can’t pass it.”
Mountains are visible on both sides of the valley.
“Can’t we avoid the dungeon and climb the ridge around it?”
Although steep, it did not seem impossible to the superhuman warrior party.
“It’s possible, but the Astrian guys will be on the lookout for other roads you can pass through.”
The fact that those who like to stand guard are not concerned about raiding the dungeon must mean that this dungeon is not ordinary.
Kerry wanted to ask the soldier about the possibility of raiding the dungeon, but she decided against it.
It’s better to see for yourself.
Kerry used the Eye of the Goddess in the dungeon.
At the same time, information about the dungeon unfolded in front of them.

“…”
Emmy. It’s a legendary level dungeon. There was a reason the Astria guys didn’t consider the parameters of the dungeon raid.
“Why? Kerry. It doesn’t look good, but…”
“…”
Do I really have to go through here? It’s called the death god. It’s a name that sounds like a fucking old one just by hearing it.
Even though Rina knew this, she wondered if she was going to pass by here.
No. Let’s trust Lina. She didn’t need to be scared beforehand.
Obviously, there is a way to attack. The regressor asked us to pass through this place.
‘I just need to find the sure way Lina knows.’
For now, I decided to put off learning more about clearing the dungeon until later.
I had something to check first. For a dungeon like this, there must be a proper reward.
Dungeon flowers are a reward no matter what anyone says!
Kerry checked the dungeon’s rewards.
“This…”
As befits a legendary grade dungeon, there were many good rewards.
But there was something that caught Kerry’s eye. She didn’t know that the right thing would appear in the right place at the right time.
I’ve been putting it off because I’ve been busy lately, but Kerry was in the middle of learning her magic from her from the White Witch.
