00059 Mage and Alchemist (Rare) ——————————————- —————————–=
“trap… escape… .”
“I was caught in a trap. She ran away.”
Even though he was saying the words one by one, the male priest continued speaking with a very difficult expression on his face. However, when I understood the meaning and repeated it, a look of relief flashed across his face. Perhaps they were mistaken in thinking that we were quite experienced users.
The user nodded his head once weakly and continued stuttering.
“colleague… betrayal… kidnap… .”
“… … .”
“help… !”
I can see my eyes shaking as they keep trying to close. Even though death was just around the corner, it seemed like he was desperately enduring it. Eventually, the priest seemed to have exhausted all his strength, uttered the last word, “Help,” and then closed his eyes and rolled over. The vitality that was barely holding on looked at us. And he seemed completely exhausted as he spoke. I could hear the kids gasping as they looked at the priest hanging limply on my lap.
I laid him down on the floor, lifted my palms, and closed his eyes. There was a solemn and gloomy atmosphere around. In particular, Sol’s face turned white. Every time I saw him die, it was proof that he couldn’t respond calmly. But there was no time for such sentimental feelings. For now, the priority was to combine keywords left by users and infer information. I slowly repeated the words he said.
“trap. escape. colleague. betrayal. kidnap.”
“brother. “Maybe it has something to do with tramps?”
Ahn Hyun also came up with his own reasoning as if he had heard what the user said, but I shook my head left and right. It was possible, but for me, who knew the future, it was an unthinkable statement. After organizing my thoughts for a while, I was also able to combine one possibility.
The kids had anxious faces. Seeing his lips keep getting wet with saliva, I felt the need to explain. As I watched the kids waiting for me to open my mouth, I opened my mouth in a quiet voice.
“At the beginning of the pitch black forest. “I told you there were users who came in before us, right?”
“yes. Do you remember… ah. then?”
Hyeon immediately lowered his head and then looked at me with a strange expression in his eyes. I thought she was really oblivious to the little things in her daily life, but she showed a different side every time she did this. Still, it’s a hundred times more reassuring to have your head spinning in an emergency situation. I gave an affirmative signal and then continued.
“okay. It seems that the caravan discovered this dungeon before us. but… The caravan was destroyed due to some circumstances. “I think I got into a similar accident.”
“that. Well then, brother. What on earth do the words you just said mean? that… .”
“hmm… .”
trap. escape. colleague. betrayal. kidnap. In response to Yujeong’s question, I made the vague picture I had in my head concrete in a little more detail. I had been predicting that the caravan was destroyed due to the lack of a guide, but looking at it now, that prediction was completely wrong.
If you remember in detail the corpse you saw when you first entered the underground, you will find the answer. If you think about it carefully. There was no way he would have died as soon as he came in. There was no danger visible around. The archer must have entered the dungeon alive. It was also clear that he was in the caravan and guided the dungeon.
After gathering my words to some extent, I opened my mouth in a low voice.
“The caravan was probably heading in the same direction as us. However, if you look at the direction in which the body of the user we just saw fell, his head was facing the direction we were going. Looking at the torn off lower body and the large gash on its back, it looks like it was hit from behind while running in the direction we were walking from. in other words. The words trap and run mentioned earlier mean that I entered the dungeon earlier, got caught in a trap, got into a serious accident, and was running back the way I came.”
“then… Colleagues, betrayal, kidnapping?”
“The user I saw when I first entered the dungeon was an archer. He must have originally been a caravan mate. But I think he betrayed me for some reason along the way. The word betrayal can have many meanings. If it was used in a dungeon… “It is highly likely that he ran away to live alone.”
As soon as the keyword betrayal was explained, it was quite interesting to see the negative emotions on the children’s faces. However, as I had already told them to brace themselves in the beginning, there were no further warnings. Now it was finally time to explain the kidnapping.
“And the last word is…” “It seems like some of the caravan users were kidnapped by the Dungeon Master.”
“Is that even possible?”
As I looked at Hyeon, who was questioning me with wide eyes, I answered with a face that said it was obvious.
“then. Hole Plain is not a game. It’s a world that actually exists. It is said that alchemists often conduct experiments on the human body. “Have you forgotten which dungeon we are in now?”
As soon as I finished speaking, the faces of all the children turned grim.
*
We walked in silence for a while. Perhaps, if the tendency was towards chaos, everyone would have said to go back to the city right away without even looking back. However, Sol and Yujeong tended to be more orderly, so they agreed to rescue the kidnapped users. The last word the male priest uttered, “help,” was effective. As for me, I was satisfied once I entered, so I didn’t have any complaints.
The underground passage was getting wider as we went. While walking through the endless underground passage, I raised my hand and stopped walking. Since the detection was maintained more powerfully and broadly than usual, it was detected one by one in more detail. There are many things I cannot guarantee about battles in dungeons, so I thought it would be better to provide as detailed an explanation as possible before entering the battle.
“If you advance about 100 meters further, you will come to an empty lot. And there are several groups of monsters gathered in that vacant lot. The number is roughly over twenty… “The type of monster is presumed to be Renga.”
“Renga? huh… “I think I’ve heard of it.”
“They are monsters similar to dogs with a body size of 80 cm to 1 meter. “I think I heard that it moves quite quickly and has sharp hook-shaped claws at the end of its hands.”
“answer. If you add one more thing, Renga’s tail can become a fairly powerful weapon. “They are not as flexible as scorpions, but their destructive power is as strong as their claws.”
I laughed to myself as I watched Sol describe Renga as a dog or a puppy. These were probably words that would cause an immediate uproar if Renga were intelligent and could express their emotions in a understandable way. Anyway, I nodded as I watched Sol answer carefully. But before that, there was one point to point out.
“The problem is that the Renga being detected now seem to be a little different from the normal Renga. Everything else matches what you said… “Even those who walk on two feet get caught?”
“Huh? It can’t be! I heard that Renga basically walks on four legs. Could it be that she was mistaken for another monster? ah! no. “There is no way Soohyun is wrong, so I must be wrong.”
If it weren’t for those last words, I might have seen Sol again. I sighed as I watched Sol-i playing drums and janggu by herself.
“A hook too. Tail too. Body type too. Everything matches. Anyway, let’s judge after we go there. “If you want to go any further, you must pass there.”
Anhyun and Yujeong were just blankly watching the conversation between me and Sol. Then I saw the two make eye contact and shrug their shoulders. but. What do you need to know to join in on the conversation? That’s why I told you to study regularly.
The relaxed atmosphere ended there. As the distance to the vacant lot shortened, fierce tension rose again among the group. I started walking faster and faster until I was entering the clearing at an almost fast pace.
Renga is a monster that I faced in the first round. Although he is quick-witted, he is hot-tempered and unable to make tactical moves. In that case, it would be better to take out as many of them as possible with a quick charge and then switch to defense by luring the angry guys away.
The kids were also running behind me, drawing their weapons. In this case, if you have an archer or wizard, you can give them a big hit first and immediately do more damage with a combo attack. I felt a little disappointed, but it was something I had to cover.
“brother! “You’re feeling fine!”
Hyeon, who was showing signs of taking deep breaths while running, soon shouted at me in a powerful voice. He was clutching his spear tightly, and when I told him he was going into battle, he seemed to show off his characteristic belligerence. After raising my hand to signal that it was okay, I explained the tactics in more detail.
“You just have to avoid using your magic power beyond its limit. Don’t worry about me, everyone stay in formation. After entering the clearing, go into the visible group first, quickly rush in, deal with them, and then slowly retreat to the wall. Renga has a habit of caring very much for its compatriots, so if you kill even one of them, it will rush at you with fire in its eyes. Her defense is weak, but her movements are quick and her hook is sharp, so be careful. and… .”
“yes.”
“Keep in mind that it may be different from regular renga. Coming soon “Don’t judge the situation as soon as you see it. Deal with the guys you see in front of you first.”
Normally, I would have gone in calmly after thoroughly verifying my tactics, but this time, speed was the key. Since they had a developed sense of smell, there was a chance that we would be attacked if we delayed.
As I was running as hard as I could, a square passage came into view, just as I had predicted. And beyond the passage, I saw an empty lot made of black dirt. Without any hesitation, I crossed the passage and entered the vacant lot. Soon, I could see numerous Renga, who were well over twenty, walking around in the vacant lot.
As expected, they were good-looking guys. The moment I entered the vacant lot, all the Renga members immediately turned their heads towards me. Seeing them crying as their balloons lost air, I decided where to attack in just one second and then climbed up off the ground.
“Skeet! Skit!”
Just as I was about to swing my sword at the guys in front of me, a spear crossed in front of me at lightning speed. The spear powerfully split the air and soon smashed the faces of the Renga who were just turning their heads. I felt something strange as I saw Renga’s face being crushed to pieces, rather than being stabbed. However, as soon as I saw his body falling apart, it seemed like there was no big difference in death.
“Just one at a time!”
The main character of Chang was Ahn Hyeon. After seeing me take the lead, they came right after me and used their unique long range to launch a preemptive attack. The haze-like energy fluttering at the tip of the spear seemed to contain a lot of magical power.
Having gained some free time due to An Hyeon’s attack, I immediately changed direction to the Renga who were around the guy and slashed fiercely. Even though it was a surprise attack that caught them off guard, there was no way they could avoid my sword that had many years of experience in it.
The moment I decapitated two people with a single swing, I realized the identity of the discomfort I had felt earlier. First of all, no blood comes out. And when I cut the throat, I felt like I was cutting through a hard shell, rather than the feeling of cutting soft flesh. This… It was a chimera.
“Kiiiiii!”
The Renga who were surprised seemed to be in great confusion. Even though they recognized us, I felt a desire to deal with them a little more as I saw them still struggling. While I was thinking about it for just a few seconds, I saw Yujeong quickly running next to me.
“sleep… .”
Yujeong was leaning forward as much as possible towards the one guy who was a little distance away from the first three people he dealt with. There was no time for me to stop him. She also boldly had her dagger hanging down below her.
Yujeong’s rush was good, but it didn’t feel like the tempo was slow. Unlike the first time, I felt a sense of disappointment as I watched the Renga gradually coming to their senses. Just looking at the renga Yujeong was aiming for right now, the tail attached to her buttocks was gently waving.

“Give me a cool scene too.”
“yep. Appears in the next episode.”
“Ol.lol”
『Reripple』
1. Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusk: Congratulations on winning first place. haha. It’s always difficult to enter the ID… . ㅜ.ㅠ
2. Human Life: Human Life always gives warm words. Thank you. For now, just bear with it. The principle is to talk about it once or twice, experience it in practice a few times, and then address it if the problem persists. Since we are still beginners, we are in the position of waiting a little longer. (The problem may be that our expectations are too high. Hahaha.)
3. hohokoya1: I really almost couldn’t upload it today. Since I woke up at the end, I wrote a lot, so I was barely able to complete it. It’s 11:46 as I write this review. thief
4. Hwang Geol: Yes. Thank you. I hope you enjoy reading this episode as well.
5. 『What is love?』: If you look at it more broadly, kids are still idiots. Perhaps by the time you leave Mule, you will be able to see that they have grown to an extent that is incomparable to what they are now. 🙂
6. GradeRown: Hmm. Since the upper and lower body are separated, the lower body cannot be reattached even if life is saved. A much higher-level order is needed to connect the lower body and make it function again.
7. Ashen Wing: Kekekeke.(?) Cutting magic again!
8. Wicked Lawyer: Thank you. Yes. It’s early in the new year. I will approach everything with a positive and passionate attitude. thank you!
9. noc647: You will be able to gradually understand the contents as they unfold in the future. This part may be a spoiler, so I will not comment. Please understand. 🙂
10. Geumwon: If you look at the situation, you might accept it awkwardly. However, if you explain it in relation to the setting, you can say that
I always read all the comments over and over again. I hope you don’t feel too disappointed that it’s not on Riripple. If you have any questions, please send me a message and I will answer! (Please leave a lot of comments! And recommendations…☞☜)
