Episode 90
Manmajeon (2)
Jeong Do and two others entered the torn dungeon.
It was my first experience doing this, but it was no different from entering a regular dungeon.
The moment I entered the dungeon, I lost consciousness for a moment, and soon after coming back to my senses, I took a stance and looked around.
“… uh?”
And I was taken aback by the sight that was different from what I expected.
There wasn’t.
Kang Hae-jun, who must have come in with them, was nowhere to be seen. The degree asked Princess Kako.
“princess? This is my first time experiencing a dungeon crawling, so is this really like this? “Can’t you see Hae-joon?”
“Oh, no! I’ve used the skill countless times, but this is the first time I’ve been separated from someone else. Why on earth is this happening… .”
Princess Kako was confused, but not too worried. It was confirmed that Hae-joon entered the dungeon. With his skills, there would be no immediate danger.
‘hmm. What do we do?’
Whether it was the opening of the dungeon just before or even now, nothing was going as planned. Jeongdo smiled bitterly and was lost in thought.
There are currently two options available.
Do you proceed towards the dungeon boss separately from Hae-joon?
Or do you prioritize joining Hae-joon?
‘Nothing to think about.’
You must not forget the purpose of entering the dungeon. In any case, the overriding goal is to rescue the <saint>. I couldn’t waste time wondering when the dungeon boss might change his mind and kill the hostage. The degree said to the princess.
“Still, I’m glad we confirmed that Mr. Hae-joon entered the dungeon. I guess I fell alone somewhere in a dungeon… Well, if he’s at Hae-jun’s level, he’ll somehow reach the boss room. “We do it on our own.”
“Yes, I think it’s better to do that too.”
Jeongdo lightly nodded his head at her answer and then began to conquer the dungeon.
* * * * * *
Inside the dungeon was a wide plain. However, it was different from that of Earth.
It was red.
The sky, the ground, and the trees were all a light red color, so much so that it hurt my eyes. That wasn’t all.
Growling.
Unusual roaring sounds echoing from the sky.
Pandæmonium.
Literally, the entire landscape suited the word hell. Jeongdo muttered as he walked through the middle of hell.
“There are a lot of traces.”
Although it was a wide plain, it was easy to decide which direction to proceed.
Traces of battle can be seen throughout the plains.
Because the reddish ground was stained with even redder blood.
“… “Many of my colleagues were injured.”
Princess Kako said gloomily after seeing that.
In this plain, Savior met and battled with the demons of Ten Thousand Demons. And he must have advanced towards the boss even as each of his colleagues fell. To some extent, it felt like the battle that took place here was being depicted before my eyes.
“princess? “There’s one thing I’d like to ask.”
“yes. Please speak.”
“That dungeon opening skill. Can’t it be used continuously?”
She told them that if they rescue the <Saint>, they should abandon her and escape with the other three. From that story, she could guess that there were limits to the use of the dungeon opening skill, but she wanted to hear confirmation from her own mouth.
“yes. It depends on what dungeon it was used in… “There is a cooldown of more than one day.”
“… Is that so. then… hmm?”
Hehehe.
It was then.
Hearing the ground rumbling in the distance, Do and Princess Kako looked to a place and could see a cloud of dust rising in the distance.
A moment passes.
“what. “It really was there, right?”
Two demons appeared, riding on armored war horses. They were wearing heavy armor just like their warhorses. If seen from a distance, it could be mistaken for a medieval knight, but there was a crucial difference.
They were not human faces. One had a face similar to that of a sheep, and the other had the face of a snake. And, crucially, the large horns that rise above the head. It is an appearance that is well suited to the term ‘the shape of the devil.’ They said they were surprised to see Princess Do and Kako.
“If you were holding hostages, wouldn’t other people be able to come in?”
“No, wait. I think one guy has a spherical face. Hey, human woman. How did you… .”
“be careful! “It’s a very strong monster!”
Princess Kako warned Jeong Do. Of course, he had already used observation the moment the demon appeared.
<7th Legion Scout – Omnic Level: 84>
<7th Legion Scout – Hispe Level: 83>
‘S-Class!’
It was indeed a dungeon worthy of the word SSS level. Even ordinary monsters boasted a level equivalent to S class.
‘If something like this breaks… .’
Japan will experience the nightmarish post-war years again. Jeong Do changed the King of All Diseases into his wife’s form and charged at him in an instant.
“what. There are only two of us anyway. If I catch you again… “Oops.”
Quad deuk.
The spear pierced the warrior’s armor and neck. However, despite this, the thrust did not lose its momentum and pierced the heart of the snake-headed demon on the horse. It was a vain end for a devil who was relaxed despite encountering the enemy.
“Oh my. Omnic!”
The two-headed demon was startled by the sudden death of his comrade and pulled out the sword from his belt.
“It’s too late!”
Jeong Do changed the King of All Diseases into the form of a crab zerg and threw a javelin at close range with one hand. The two-headed demon tried to block the javelin with the side of his sword in that split second. It truly had the reflexes of an S-class monster.

however.
Clang!
Reacting and blocking were two different things. The devil’s sword was unable to overcome the mana contained in the spear and broke.
Sigh!
“nice… “Kruk.”
<Level up! Mana increases by 1 and strength increases by 1!>
The javelin passed right through the back of the two-headed devil’s neck. And the two demons fell down from their horses at the same time. It was less than a second after Jeongdo charged. Princess Kako could not say anything when she saw the scene.
“… … .”
“Well, at this rate, you don’t have to worry too much, Mr. Hae-joon.”
He said it calmly as if it was really no big deal. He then approached the corpse and absorbed it into Ixia. As it was a high-level monster, Ixia’s growth rate increased rapidly, and she smiled as if she was satisfied with the level.
“Now, shall we go?”
“… yes.”
Princess Kako felt a little skeptical about the experience she had accumulated so far, and walked behind as much as she could lead the way.
* * * * * *
“Keeek!”
“What! This is ridiculous… “Wow!”
<Level up! Reflexes increase by 1!>
The same situation was repeated.
As I progressed towards the boss, I encountered demons, and those demons were instantly destroyed by Jeong Do’s hands.
‘You’ve become really strong.’
The original level was strong, but after visiting Delaf, it was difficult to describe with the word strong.
Truly a massacre.
He was taking down an S-class monster like chopping down a rotten tree. Looking at this scene, no one would think that this dungeon was SSS level.
And it was the same to a certain degree.
The dungeon was going very easily, but it wasn’t refreshing.
‘This can’t be the end.’
The difficulty level called SSS level is one that has never appeared before. It couldn’t have been this easy. The easier the progress, the more amazing things will be waiting for you in the boss room. To some extent, that bothered me.
“Are you going there?”
As I progressed through the dungeon, defeating regular monsters without hesitation, I quickly reached the boss room. His speed was several times faster than that of Savior, who had filled the dungeon with 10 people. Princess Kako has now given up on understanding and just answered the question.
“Yes, that is the boss room of this dungeon. Our party also encountered a boss there, and as a result… .”
She chewed her lip, unable to continue her words. Jeong Do raised her head and looked at the boss room in front of her.
In fact, the term ‘boss room’ did not fit. Because what was in front of Jeongdo’s eyes was a large castle.
A blood-red castle standing alone on a red plain.
After looking at the place for a moment, he began to enter the castle without hesitation.
And there was the boss.
Height appears to be three times taller than normal.
Huge wings that no demon I’ve ever encountered had.
The face of a devil with two pairs of horns soaring into the sky.
<Commander of the 7th Corps of the Demon Army – Rajier of the Abyss>
<Level: 199>
The boss was a monster between diamond and black. He was a strong player who could not guarantee a victory even with his current level of power. However, to a certain extent, my attention went somewhere else rather than the boss.
<Saint> hanging on the cross next to the boss.
She had her head down and her blonde hair flowing down.
However, the <Saint> was also not of much interest. Jeong Do focused his attention on the ‘thing’ next to the saint.
Jijijijik.
crack.
Surprisingly, another dungeon crack existed within the dungeon. I was certain that this was what made this dungeon SSS level.
‘Go as fast as possible.’
To be honest, if the boss in front of me and another dungeon exploded at the same time, I didn’t have the confidence to stop it. I felt like I had to finish at least one guy first to be prepared. From the beginning, Jeong Do used the best skills he could.
<Calling – Tinia>.
<Summon Red Tomato>.
At a loud call, two beasts appeared through the air.
“… It doesn’t seem like a situation worth sharing. degree.”
Tinia growled lowly at the boss. As expected, Tinia was quick to notice. She didn’t answer, but she got on the red horse.
<Skill <Sprint> is activated. The vehicle’s abilities are doubled.>
“good. Goes!”
Jeongdo charged towards the boss with the best force he could without loading.
* * * * * *
“nice… “Kruk.”
“Whoa… “I almost died.”
Jeong-do’s body was completely ruined. The commander of the 10,000-horse battle was really strong and the battle was prolonged. Red Toma was counter-summoned by the corps commander’s spear 10 minutes after being summoned, and Tinia was also counter-summoned after leaving a large wound on the corps commander’s neck.
still.
Through the gap created by those two people, they eventually succeeded in breaking the heart of the corps commander. Although his body was in tatters, he was victorious.
“First, let’s start with the rescue… .”
Jeongdo slowly approached the saint. She was very tired, perhaps because she had been tied up for a long time, but her eyes were alive. Eyes that want to say something strongly. Jeong Do was drawn to those eyes and removed the gag from her mouth.
“Avoid!!!”
The saint’s cracked voice rang throughout the castle. As soon as she could speak, she cried out like that. Jeongdo thought when he heard her voice.
thank god.
I’m really glad she wasn’t ‘in one piece’.
I felt deeply relieved.
And without even looking back, he turned around while hugging the saint.
Crack!
Five needles were stuck where the doctor was. And acrid smoke began to rise from the ground where the needle was stuck.
Poisonous sting.
Jeongdo easily dodged the weapon aimed at him without even looking at it. It was as if she had been expecting it. A woman’s voice was heard behind me.
“It doesn’t seem like he was reacting to the saint’s words… Did you know? “That I should attack?”
“yes. I thought now was the perfect time, but it flies by without fail.”
“… how?”
Jeongdo shrugged his shoulders and answered Princess Kako’s words. She said as she took a look at Ixia, who had her finger on hers.
“Because I have a high-performance lie detector. “It was so loud every time he spoke.”
<Hmph. That woman. I feel so bad.>
Ixia openly displayed hostility towards Princess Kako. I understood to some extent. Because she lied every time she opened her mouth.
“She is essential to our planet. “Please lend me your strength.”
<It’s a lie! I wish the saint would die!>
“If you rescue <Saint>, please abandon me and escape.”
<Again! also! I plan to be the first to leave.>
“I’ve used a lot of skills, but this is the first time I’ve been separated from someone else!”
<Lie. I deliberately separated the owner and Hae-joon.>
“… “There is a cooldown of more than one day.”
<There is nothing like that! You can do this at any time as long as you have mana.>
“Well, even if it wasn’t anything in particular, it was strange. No matter how strong the boss was, it was so strange that the <Saint>, who exerts absolute power against demonic attributes, was caught so easily. “I wonder if there is a traitor inside.”
“… “It’s annoying.”
She realized that her identity had been discovered and threw away her princess mask. She then took out an object from her bosom.
Butterfly mask.
She opened her mouth, putting on her face a shiny sterling silver butterfly mask.
“what. good. “After all, half of the plan was completed the moment you came here.”
She said that and raised her left hand. Hands covered in blood. I didn’t know the extent, but it was a sign that blood jade had been used. For about a moment, the crack next to me began to shake. Princess Kako laughed at the sight.
“You are strong, yes. I will admit that it is stronger than you can imagine. But you’re already exhausted, right? “In this situation, can we face a monster stronger than the demon we just had?”
Jijijijik.
The crack next to the level was shaking even more. Jeong-do tried to catch the crack as a test, but his hand split the air. Princess Kako laughed at that.
“what? Did you think something like that would be possible when you came in? That was possible because of my skills. Do you think such a fluke could happen twice?”
“… … .”
Jeongdo paid no attention to Princess Kako’s words and watched the crack blankly. Princess Kako saw this and began to laugh at Jeongdo even more.
“Are you distracted by the disaster that is about to come? “Can’t you believe it?”
“… okay. “I can’t believe it.”
“huh?”
Princess Kako finally realized that Do-do’s condition was strange. Although I was distraught to a certain degree, it wasn’t that I was despairing of the situation, but rather…
‘Are you happy?’
To some extent, he was clearly laughing.
Jeongdo’s gaze was directed towards the dungeon, but he was not looking at the dungeon.
The air beyond the dungeon.
Seeing the scene that only Jeong-do could see, Jeong-do burst out laughing.
Countless business cards spread out.
Among them, a ‘black’ business card was flying towards him. At least I couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculous odds.
Quang!
As another dungeon within a dungeon exploded, other demons began pouring out.
And at the same time, a black business card slipped into Jeongdo’s forehead.
Hwaaaaaaa!
A storm of mana raged around Jeongdo!
And the voice of a young but strong girl echoed in Jeongdo’s head.
<My soul is in the arms of God, my body is for my country!>
Before I knew it, King Manbyeongji had changed into the form of a spear. However, its shape was completely different from existing windows.
fluttering.
A large flag was hanging from the spear in Jeongdo’s hand.
Flag spear.
Hero of the 100 Years’ War.
A saint who was born as a rural peasant girl and was revered as a saint.
Jeanne d’Arc.
The weapon that was like her symbol was in Jeong Do’s hand.
I feel sorry for the <saint> whom Jeong-do saved, but Jeong-do has realized it now.
Even among the same <saints>, there are levels. Jeong Do took a step towards the approaching demons and stamped her flag on the ground.
bang!
<Sanctuary is declared!>
<The evil group cannot be approached. Significant bonuses are given to Holy, White, and Good talents and skills!>
Paaaaat!
The devil’s den called Manmajeon.
It began to be filled with a divine light that I could not dare to look straight at.
And so, contrary to Princess Kako’s intentions, the second round began.
