Episode 244
“Then where should we go now? “Are there any dungeons prepared separately?”
After making his decision, Jinhyeok immediately asked Jean Marceau about the location of the dungeon in order to enter it.
Jean Marceau responded with a puzzled look.
“hmm? What are you talking about? “The Dungeon of Appetite is already in front of you.”
“… … what?”
Jinhyeok asks back with a look of bewilderment at the absurd answer that he is already in front of him.
Jean Marceau grinned and pulled out his cane and sword at Jinhyeok’s bewildered words, making a sound like the wind was falling.
Sereung-
When Jinhyeok slightly backs away in horror at the sight of a long, shiny sword slipping out of its scabbard with a sharp strike.
“Take a good look, Dungeon of Appetite. So the Demon King’s Dungeon will always be by our side.”
“… … ?”
With Jean Marceau’s unintelligible words-
Gigi Geek-
I started cutting the air with my cane sword.
The sight of the sky slowly becoming cracked was quite bizarre, but Jean Marceau continued his work calmly.
Height 10m.
Width 5m.
Jinhyeok asked the picturesque gold in the shape of a huge door that could easily be considered a 3-4 story building.
“This?”
“It’s a door. You can go to the Devil’s Dungeon. Among them, it is the door to the Dungeon of Appetite, which I was allowed to draw.”
“… … “Is that really the case?”
Jean Marceau, an apostle of Baal, once challenged the Demon King’s Dungeon, and without attaining the position of the Demon King, he became an Apostle of Baal and took on the role of gatekeeper of the Dungeon of Appetite.
“You’re probably right. And I’m happy with my current situation. “It’s like I was chosen by someone who suits me perfectly.”
“What about inside?”
Jean Marceau shrugged his shoulders and replied with a slight smile, saying that Jinhyeok was probably right.
Jinhyeok, looking at his dignified smile, asked Jean Marceau, who had stepped through the door first, about the inside.
And for the first time, Jean Marceau erased his smile and looked straight.
“It’s a place that showed me new possibilities and new heights, but it’s not a place I want to go to again.”
“… … “That much?”
Climbers between the 700th and 800th floor.
The level of difficulty in the dungeon is such that even Jean Marceau, a gourmet who is considered to be at the top in terms of ability, would stick out his tongue with a straight face.
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.
but-
“If he knows you, you can do better than me.”
“You don’t have to worry about what you decided to do anyway.”
“Good luck.”
Jinhyuk had no intention of backing down.
If I had already decided to undergo trials, I would not have decided to undergo trials in the first place.
After making his decision, the intangible door drawn in front of Jinhyeok slowly began to appear in reality.
Coo coo coo coo coo-
Jinhyeok swallowed dry saliva without realizing it and looked inside as the huge stone gate slowly began to open with a sound as if there had been an earthquake.
Wheeoooo-
Just looking at the interior, which was so dark that a strong wind blew and it was so dark that you couldn’t see an inch in front of you, was enough to give you the creeps.
“Once you get inside, you will have to grow step by step from the beginning. “This is advice from an experienced person, so take it to heart.”
“From the beginning? Step by step?”
“You will find out for yourself when you go in. Well then, let’s go in now. “It takes a lot of mental energy to maintain this.”
“… … “I’ll see you later.”
“At that time, it will be decided whether it will be a new master or a new colleague.”
“I hope it’s the former rather than the latter.”
“The same goes for me.”
The birth of a new lord.
That is, a new person to fill the position of Demon King of Appetite, which was vacant after Baal.
In other words, Jinhyuk will be going up, so both of them ended the conversation with a secret smile.
After the entire conversation was over, Jinhyuk stroked Tam’s lovely dark purple hair as he stared at him.
“See you from the inside.”
“… … See you later.”
Jinhyeok walked into the tiger’s maw made of darkness, laughing at the sight of Tam spitting out words as if he were talking loudly. * * *
When my eyes, naturally closed in darkness, opened.
Jinhyuk could feel that the space he had never seen before was welcoming him.
“dungeon? No, it feels like an underground dungeon.”
The unique feeling and smell of the basement, welcomed by humid humidity and dim lighting.
There wasn’t even proper lighting, so I couldn’t even see straight ahead.
But something was strange.
“… … My physical condition is strange. Normally, it would be normal to penetrate this level of darkness lightly-”
To be precise, my body was strange.
In addition to the fact that the body itself was as heavy as wet cotton, the inside of the dungeon could not be clearly seen even though it was pitch-black.
A dungeon that is at most about 10 to 15 pyeong in size should be fully visible with just a quick glance, but the fact that my eyes felt stiff, as if they hadn’t been oiled for a long time, also played a role.

“It feels like when I first entered the tower.”
Back when I was still an ordinary person.
Jinhyeok burst into laughter at the thought that he was seeing himself back in the day when he was an Earthling who lived without knowing anything about mana.
“Was it this…?” … .”
What Jean Marceau said.
From the beginning, step by step.
Now I have to challenge the Demon King’s dungeon with a body that I can’t even remember, the body and senses I had when I was an ordinary person, and a body that doesn’t even have the common mana.
Of course, they won’t throw powerful monsters at you from the beginning, but even a common kobold would have a hard time with an ordinary person’s body.
“… … “Let’s get started.”
However, Jinhyeok was not afraid or hesitated, only he was nervous.
All I could do was urge him to start the ordeal quickly.
At Jinhyuk’s urging, the iron door located at the end of the dungeon in the darkness slowly began to open.
-Keek!
“After all, it started with a kobold?”
Green and the size of an elementary school student.
Except for the red eyes and the dagger in his hand, he was an opponent that looked worse than a large dog, but considering the number of challengers on the first floor who died without even catching that kobold, it was not an enemy that could be ignored.
Especially considering that the challengers on the first floor had completed the tutorial, had weapons, and even had a small amount of mana.
There are no weapons, no characteristics, and no status window, so you do not receive any stat effects.
Since there is no mana to strengthen the body or use special abilities, the enemy called kobold must be killed with a no weapon in the body of an ordinary person.
“Come, there is a long way to go. “It’s too precious to waste my time on someone like you.”
However, Jinhyeok lightly relaxed his body and stretched out his hand and flicked it towards the kobold.
At the sight of Jinhyuk provoking him as if to challenge him, the kobold lowered his posture and quickly lunged at Jinhyuk, screeching.
Tadadadadak-
It’s a dungeon room about the size of a two-room dungeon, but for a kobold that rushes in with determination, that distance can only be reached in a few seconds.
of course-
“Do you think only you can run?”
“… … Kek?”
Kwasik!
That means the same goes for Jinhyuk.
Jinhyuk’s soft fist runs straight towards the charging kobold and hits the kobold in the face.
Patter-
Dark red blood drips from the crushed nose and soaks the dungeon floor.
The kobold clutches its nose and goes crazy at the amount of blood, which is no more than a shallow puddle.
“Keeeeek!”
The kobold struggles in pain and begins swinging the rusty dagger in his hand.
The rusty dagger that was swinging around as if occupying the space around it was a dangerous weapon that could cause tetanus or deep wounds with just one swipe.
If I were a normal person, I would have been scared and stepped back…
“I said I didn’t have time.”
“… … !”
Jinhyuk made a slightly different choice.
At best, a kobold.
Although he also bears the penalty of having an ordinary person’s body, his path is different.
There was a wall between Kobold, who lived as a weakling as the lowest level monster, and Jinhyeok, who ran without hesitation toward the top floor of the tower, which could not be cut with physical ability.
Boom- Boom-
‘one. Doul. now-‘
Jinhyeok, who lightly jumped out of his seat and rushed at the kobold, counted the beats from the dagger swinging at random by the kobold, who looked at him with a surprised expression, and then dug in at the exact moment when the attack was empty.
Even if a rusty dagger is a dangerous weapon, if it doesn’t hit you in the end, it’s okay.
The person handling it is a kobold, so if you concentrate and don’t get nervous, you can see and avoid it.
Of course, it is difficult for an ordinary person, but Jinhyuk had an experience that ordinary people do not have.
Because he had experience dodging sword points and blocking magic on battlefields where lives were at stake, Jinhyeok knew very well that there was a possibility of being hit by a dagger, but he had no hesitation in digging in.
Wow-
Jinhyeok, who narrowed the gap with the kobold, held the dagger in his hand and broke it.
The dagger held by the kobold flutters across the floor with an eerie sound of bones being twisted.
“… … “Keeeeeeek!”
“noisy.”
Bye!
I place my palm on the chin of the kobold, which was screaming indiscriminately in pain.
The kobold’s head is tilted upward as if it is about to be pulled out, and the sound of the kobold’s breathing resounds in my ears.
But the kobold is not dead yet.
As if to prove that it was not called a monster for nothing, the kobold’s neck and jawbone were cracked, the hand bone that held the dagger was twisted, and the nose bone was collapsed and bleeding from the nose, but the kobold was alive.
And Jinhyeok, who was not aware that there was a possibility that the enemy who was not dead could kill him, prepared to finish.
green onion –
Jinhyeok quickly distanced himself from the kobold, who was not dead but was in bad condition, then slid back and picked up the dagger that the kobold had dropped.
“It’s over.”
Jinhyeok smiled slightly as he felt the grip of the kobold’s rusty dagger fitting comfortably in his hand, then jumped out of his seat and rushed at the kobold.
The kobold, dazed from the pain, opened its mouth and let out a scream, drooling mixed with blood, but Jinhyeok did not blink an eye.
Phuuk-
“… … Turn it off-”
A dagger stuck in the chest where the heart is located.
With the sound of the wind falling, the kobold’s eyes pop open as if they are about to pop out, and both hands struggle as if they are trying to grab hold of the air.
but-
Wow-
When I turn the handle of the dagger, the heart that was touching my ribs is torn apart.
“Keh… … .”
The life drains from the red eyes, and a weak sound flows from the mouth.
Jinhyeok lightly picked up the light body of the collapsing kobold and wiped away his numb hands and the dripping sweat.
And then a message appeared in front of Jinhyeok.
[The enemy has been defeated.]
[Eat enemies, recover from injuries, and gain strength.]
“… … “I guess it’s a meal after hunting.”
A message announcing meal time that came to mind right after the kobold hunt ended.
The only thing to eat was the dead kobold in front of me, but the text of the message didn’t change, and it didn’t seem like they would give me any other food.
The original message said to eat ‘enemies’, so it must have meant eating the bodies of dead kobolds.
“I’ll eat as much as I want.”
Growling-
Jinhyeok picked up the dead kobold’s arm with a stern expression, patting its stomach that was crying out for food just because it moved a little.
Crunch- Crunch! Wow!
-Wow!
And that day, Jinhyeok learned for the first time that kobold meat was extremely tasteless, and in return, he had to vomit three times.
