Episode 317
Blinking vision.
At the same time, the son-in-law changed and thick darkness fell.
And as expected,
[Not affected by the darkness restriction effect due to the original vampire effect.]
The original vampire effect was immediately activated.
At the same time, Suho could see.
That what was obscuring his vision was not natural darkness, but an artificial darkness created by objects.
And the identity of those objects was none other than a corpse.
“Hey.”
Suho let out a sigh without realizing it.
That’s understandable, because when Suho opened his eyes, he was in a mountain of corpses… … or, to be exact, deep inside a mountain of corpses.
This is not good from the 2-star gate onwards.
Unlike the 1st-star gates that are summoned from a place like a starting line, from 2nd-star gates onwards, it was common to start in terrain with many obstacles such as suddenly falling from the sky.
‘Still, it’s better than what I heard in my past life.’
Suho was with them when they opened the Cheongsa Fortress, but he was not with them when they entered Logan Hell.
Because the guardian’s entry level was too low to enter the 3-star Logan Hell Gate at that time.
However, I have read numerous related reports and am at the level of a pro at Logan Hell, just like the people who have been there.
Suho used the skill right away.
[Blood Weapon is activated.]
The skill used is Blood Weapon.
Suho summoned his Blood Weapon like a thick pillar, just like Son Oh-gong wielded the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and pushed away the corpses that were weighing him down.
Then, the corpses began to pile up and the true sights of Logan Hell finally came into view.
“Tsk tsk, what a mess.”
As soon as he took in the surrounding scenery, Suho clicked his tongue.
It can’t be helped.
Even though he pushed the corpses away and got up, all Suho could see were corpses.
Corpses piled up like a mountain.
Below, a river of blood flowed, and beyond, screams and cries continued unceasingly.
“Please!! Please let us in!!”
“There’s a plague going on outside!!”
“please!!”
“Even if it’s just a child! Even if it’s just a child, please!!”
The place where people gathered was in front of the huge castle wall.
There was a firmly locked gate, and on the ramparts were soldiers wearing black triangular masks that looked like they belonged to the KKK, looking down impassively at the people outside the walls.
At that moment, a man whose armor seemed a little more special raised his hand.
He was the captain of the castle gate.
At his gesture, the soldiers began to shoot arrows at the demonstrators, and those who saw this began to run away in panic again.
The captain lowers his hand and gives an order.
“Shoot.”
Thud!
“Kwaaak!”
“Ahhhh!”
“Save me!!”
People falling down and dying.
But despite the numerous arrows raining down, the people soon returned to the walls.
“Open the door!!”
“Save me!!”
“please!!”
The situation repeats itself again.
It was just like what we saw in the Logan Hell report the other day.
That was when.
[ A quest occurs. ]
[ Opening of the gate ]
– Rating: S
# Currently, an unprecedented plague is spreading in Dorima. The kingdom is blocking outsiders from entering the capital to protect its citizens, and outsiders are trying to enter the capital in order to survive.
# Open the gates and give hope to outsiders.
Suho looked at the quest content with an indifferent expression.
also.
It’s exactly as we saw in the Logan Hell report.
I was worried that the quest content might change because the gate level changed, but fortunately, there was no significant change.
‘If anything has changed, it would be in the level of the monsters or boss mobs, and the level of difficulty.’
In that sense, when players first saw this quest, they were very confused.
From a quest perspective alone, opening the gates would have been the right thing to do, but from an epidemiological perspective, blocking them would have been the right answer if an epidemic broke out.
The system often throws out quests like this that involve actions outside of common sense.
In the industry, this is called the quest dilemma.
The conclusion that was reached was to unconditionally follow the quest content.
This is because even if the quests given by the system were somewhat unreasonable and unethical, they were limited to NPCs inside the gate, not players.

For example, there were no instances of ‘kill each other’ or ‘kill your comrades’.
‘And in the end, if you think about it, most of the cases were set up this way to progress the quest.’
So, in the end, all you had to do was to not have any distracting thoughts and just faithfully complete the quest.
Anyway, the ultimate goal was to conquer the gate.
Suho immediately started buffing himself.
[ Blessing is activated . ]
[Holy Enchantment is activated.]
[Magic detection is activated.]
[ Patience is activated . ]
[ Reinforcement is activated . ]
[ The eyes of the night watchman are activated . ]
When skills are activated, unique, splendid effects surround the guardian.
Then, he transformed his Blood Weapon into a Blood Spear and slowly approached the gate.
“hmm?”
The captain of the castle gate guard narrows his eyes at the sight of Suho.
Because I was the only one who wore different clothes compared to the other shabby people.
At that moment, Suho and the captain’s eyes met.
“hi?”
Suho waves his hand lightly in greeting.
Of course you couldn’t hear it, because there was a distance.
So I asked the adjutant next to me.
“What is that guy?”
“Let me find out right away.”
It was at that moment that the adjutant was trying to find out about Suho.
“Hey!”
A soldier’s cry.
and.
bang!!
There was a huge noise coming from the gate, and then something unbelievable happened.
“Seo, the gate is open!!”
“what?!”
It really was.
A gate that was forced open.
And what I saw beyond that was none other than the unidentified man I had seen earlier.
He was waving a long red stick, and I couldn’t believe it even though I saw it with my own eyes.
“Oh, you’re crazy. Are you saying you broke through the gate with just that stick?”
“Yeah, I think so.”
“It’s not like magic?”
“Yes, that, that, that seems to be it.”
I was momentarily surprised by that absurd sight.
The defenders were soon faced with an unexpected crisis.
“The gates are open!!”
“let’s go!!”
“Let’s go in!!”
Outsiders who had been eagerly awaiting entry into the capital began to rush in.
Suho retrieved the Blood Spear as if he was retrieving the Ruyi Bang.
Then, he leisurely looked at the system notifications, leaving behind the crowd of people pouring in past him.
[Quest conditions have been met.]
[ Quest completed ]
[ Level up . ]
[ All stats increased by 1 . ]
[ You have acquired 1 bonus stat . ]
Suho pursed his lips after seeing the system notification.
Because the compensation was better than I expected.
“Wow, this is a two-star gate, but they’re giving out so much for just one quest.”
Of course, this reward wasn’t just given out because it was a 2-star gate quest.
In fact, battles such as water battles or siege battles are extremely difficult.
No wonder there is a saying that it is an iron fortress.
So the maximum number of people allowed to enter this gate is 300.
The royal army had large, strong walls and a large number of archers, but this side had no siege weapons on the flat land and no properly trained personnel.
So, in a way, the reward for leveling up was not only natural, but could also be a bit small.
‘But you have to think positively. It’s just an easy level up compared to how much effort was put into it.’
Of course, if Suho was just an ordinary player who had just reached level 200, he would not have been able to break down the castle gate by himself.
All of this was possible because Suho was an irregular, an extra-standard being.
‘The night watchman’s eyes were especially helpful.’
Honestly, I didn’t know it would open in one room.
But I just pushed the vulnerable side just in case, so I didn’t think it would open in one go.
After receiving his reward, Suho slowly moved forward again.
“Kill him!!”
“Don’t let me take even one step!!”
“Drive out the filthy plague agents!!”
The Capital Defense Force, who heard the news late, rushed down and began executing outsiders.
“Kwaaaaak!!”
“Save me!!”
“Please! Please save me!”
“Only a child! Only a child!!”
There is screaming and crying.
Even though the people inside the gate are NPC-like beings, it doesn’t feel very good to hear their voices, which are no different from real people.
Suho blocked his hearing by touching his own acupoints.
The world falls into silence.
It’s much better.
If you keep hearing things like that, it’s not good for your mental health.
The scene of massacre is still unfolding before my eyes through the water, but I can’t block the view, so I have to endure it to this extent.
After standing there for a while, a new quest finally occurred to me.
[ A quest occurs. ]
[Grand Palace Gate Opening]
– Rating: S
# Thanks to your efforts, the gateway to Dorima’s capital has been opened.
# Take advantage of the momentum and destroy the only path leading to the palace, the palace gate, thus opening up all other routes.
The name of the second quest is Opening the Palace Gate.
It’s no different from opening the gates.
It’s no different from progressing through quests in a previous life.
Suho knows the end of this quest.
So I deliberately waited until the next quest occurred.
Now that the quest has been triggered, it’s time to get moving.
That was when.
“Over there!!”
“It’s that guy!!”
“Catch that kid!!”
The capital defense forces recognize the guardian and shout.
It seems that the story of Suho was passed on through the captain of the garrison.
The royal army began to rush towards us to kill the guardian.
Suho thought about swinging the Blood Weapon, but soon changed his mind.
“Yeah, I’m here.”
Suho waves his hand kindly.
Then, Suho’s new form disappeared.
“uh?”
“Huh?”
“Hey, where did you go?”
“It’s a trick! It must have been a trick!”
“Search everything!!”
As if it were a lie, Suho disappeared.
But I didn’t give up looking.
Because I thought it was an illusion.
But what was more shocking was what happened next.
Kwaaaaang!!
A huge roar.
The sound came from the direction of the royal palace.
That’s why the hearts of the entire capital defense force, including the commander of the defense force, sank.
My blood ran cold.
no way.
Ah, no, I don’t think so.
But most of the ominous feelings come true.
The palace gates, which should have been tightly shut, were torn off and turned into rags, as if they were lies.
After Suho tore off the remaining remnants, he saw a system notification.
[Quest conditions have been met.]
[ Quest completed ]
[ Level up . ]
[ All stats increased by 1 . ]
[ You have acquired 1 bonus stat . ]
This time, one level higher.
It was quite good.
At the same time, he snickered.
‘This works.’
The reason Suho suddenly disappeared was because he used an item skill.
The one used was achromatic solitude.
I was wondering if it would work against the Royal Army, but since Suho’s stats are overwhelmingly high, it seems like the colorless solitude worked against the Royal Army as well.
Thanks to this, I was able to easily approach the palace gate.
The movement itself can be done by using the ghost window.
Suho invested the two bonus stats he acquired into magic power.
Then he waved at the capital defense corps and the garrison captain who were blankly staring at him, and then slowly entered the palace.
“Tch, intruder!!”
“The palace gate is broken!!”
“What are the guards and knights doing!!”
The emergence of Suho.
An unexpected bolt from the blue struck the Dorima Palace.
