Episode 92
Manmajeon (4)
As soon as Jeong Do felt a powerful energy coming from the crack in the dungeon, he picked up the saint. And he widened the distance as much as possible. This was because if a saintess who was already in a bad condition were exposed to the boss’s magical energy, she could not know what negative effects it would have.
Jeongdo widened the distance and at the same time used Joan of Arc’s recovery skills as much as he could.
“eww… Ugh.”
Perhaps thanks to this, the signs of pain in the saintess’s moans began to subside. But she could never feel reassured. Even a moment of inattention could cause her body to collapse. Obtaining a level 3 talent was that risky.
‘But it’s holding up well.’
Her body was disintegrating at a much slower rate than what she had experienced. Perhaps it is thanks to her <Patience -lv.3> that she possesses. At this level, she was able to recover sufficiently with Joan of Arc’s skills, and if given time, she would be able to safely obtain level 3 talent.
Of course, this was only when there were no variables.
“hmm? what? Here, it’s a ten-horse match, right? “It was definitely the youngest’s responsibility.”
A young man’s cheerful voice echoed through the dungeon. At the same time, the amount of demonic energy leaking from the dungeon reached its peak.
The boss monster has completely appeared outside the dungeon.
The appearance of the boss monster was significantly different from the demons I had encountered so far. Existing demons were bipedal monsters with horns attached to their animal heads. Even the boss, the 7th Corps commander, was not an animal, but his appearance was far removed from that of a human.
However, the newly appeared boss monster was different.
No matter how you looked at it, it only looked like a human. If you’re looking for a difference, it’s that he has pure white hair and red eyes that can never be found on Earth. The only thing that made it different was that its ears were slightly pointed compared to humans. He was smiling as if the current situation was pleasant. But I couldn’t relax to some extent. Because the magical energy felt in the white-haired man was incomparably more intense than that of the 7th Corps commander. Jeongdo used observation on the white-haired boss monster.
<Commander of the 1st Corps of the Demon Army – Khaled of Hellfire (double body)>
<Level: 299>
‘… Rotten.’
Level 299.
It was said that the enemy in front of him was on the same level as Hercules, who had destroyed the first stage of Delaf’s test. No, it was most likely stronger. Compared to Hercules, who couldn’t use the skill because it was a trial version, the white-haired man would be able to use the skill. Jeongdo focused his attention as much as possible and tensed his muscles so that he could react at any time.
“Hmm. How is this happening? “It was a long time before I was called in.”
The white-haired man muttered that. Contrary to how nervous he was, he looked relaxed. He continued to look at Manmajeon as if it were fascinating.
It soon disappeared.
‘Quick!’
The white-haired man moved at a speed that was barely noticeable even with Joan of Arc’s physical information. Jeong Do grabbed his flag pole in preparation for the imminent attack, but his action was ultimately in vain. Because the place where the disappeared white-haired man appeared was not in front of Jeongdo.
The white-haired man approached Princess Kako.
To be precise, it wasn’t Princess Kako, but it went towards Princess Kako’s arm, which was cut off and lying on the ground. He didn’t even pay attention to Princess Kako, who was lying down next to him, and picked up her arms that were lying down.
“Aha, this is the cause.”
The man’s gaze turned to the ring on Princess Kako’s finger. He looked at the ring carefully and nodded his head as if he understood.
“The space was twisted and connected. Great work. Even if you search the universe, there aren’t many people who can make something like this… .”
After saying that, the white-haired man wiped the smile from his face for the first time.
“Could it be that he came over here? No, that would be a breach of contract… .”
‘You’ve been mumbling something since a while ago.’
The man was lost in his own world, not paying any attention to who was around him. He was fortunate for his degree. I wished that those mutterings would continue at least for as long as the saintess had time to recover.
“Oh, I don’t know. After all, turning my head around doesn’t suit me. Don’t you think so too? “You human who killed the youngest.”
“… “Tch.”
The white-haired man finally spoke to Jeong-do. He looked at the figure and then made an expression of surprise.
“In a world where secondary erosion has barely occurred, there are people like this? “The youngest deserves to die.”
A white-haired man. Khaled recognized the degree of strength. And at the same time, a notification window appeared in front of Jeongdo’s eyes.
<The opponent used the Mind’s Eye skill. User information will be exposed.>
<Geshna’s protection blocks interference with the mental world. You have successfully defended your opponent’s Mind’s Eye skill.>
The necklace ‘Geshna’s Protection’ obtained after defeating the monkey masked man blocked Khaled’s skill. Although the skill was blocked, Khaled did not panic. No, rather, his smile deepened as if he was pleased that his skills did not work. He opened his mouth.
“It’s very fun. I have two questions to ask. Can you answer me? Depending on your answer, you may be able to leave like this.”
“… … .”
Jeongdo remained silent. It was because I couldn’t figure out Khaled’s intentions. Many thoughts passed through my mind in a short period of time.
Should I just give a rough answer and wait until the saintess recovers?
Or, should we deliver the greatest blow to the unwary enemy while <Declaration of Sanctuary> remains?
However, the situation took away even that option from Jeong-do.
<The sanctuary declaration has been lifted.>
The sanctuary, which had been fading away, has finally disappeared completely.
Jeongdo sighed inwardly.
Even with <Sanctuary Declaration> in effect, there is no certainty that the surprise attack will be successful. We decided to take our time, hoping that <Saints>, which had stabilized, would create as many variables as possible.
“What do you want to ask?”
“Are you the guardian of this world?”
“… what?”
Jeong-do asked a completely unexpected question.
Guardian of the world?
Jeongdo looked puzzled at a concept he had never heard of before, and Khaled nodded as if that expression gave him the answer.
“Very good. The conditions were satisfied. So, the last question and suggestion… .”
Khaled was a little excited and was about to continue speaking, as if he was really pleased with the fact that Jeong-do was not the world’s guardian.
“… “I can’t forgive you.”
Suddenly a woman’s voice was heard. Jeongdo and Khaled reflexively looked towards where the voice came from.
Princess Kako.
She came to her senses due to the stimulation provided by Khaled’s magic power. She was tied up in her restraints and glaring at her extent. If she could kill someone with just her eyes, she would have been torn limb from limb already.
“I can’t forgive you! dare! dare!”
She was crazy with anger. The despair that she would never be able to use her arms. The humiliation of being tied up and lying on the ground. Guilt that she did not live up to his expectations. All of that came together and was expressed as anger toward Jeongdo.
She decided to give up her life, and as soon as she made that decision, the necklace around her neck began to emit magical energy.

Two tasks that Karma is currently researching.
A ‘double dungeon’ that connects dungeons.
‘Monster Domination’, controlling monsters generated by breaks
And in order to execute it, you need an artifact received from him.
A ring involved in ‘double dungeons’ and a necklace involved in ‘monster domination’.
However, unlike ‘Double Dungeon’, which reached the end of research, ‘Monster Domination’ had side effects.
The stronger the monster trying to dominate, the more the spellcaster’s life had to be sacrificed. And Princess Kako knew.
If you control the white-haired man, you will definitely die. The white-haired man was that strong. But it didn’t matter. Princess Kako, who went crazy with anger, was willing to sacrifice more than her life to kill Jeong Do.
Ugh.
Her necklace trembled slightly. Eventually, the ominousness of her necklace reaches its peak.
She shouted in an eerie voice.
“Kill the calm!!!!!!”
Upon hearing those words, Khaled’s eyes sank and became expressionless. There was no sign of him talking to Jeong-do with an excited expression just a moment ago.
Khaled responded to Princess Kako’s command.
In a dry voice.
As if it was very annoying.
“What are you talking about so loudly? “A bug.”
In Khaled’s left hand, he was suddenly holding a sword engulfed in black flames. He lightly swung the sword towards Princess Kako.
Shugak.
“uh… why.”
With those words, her neck rolled to the ground. Her eyes were wide open as if she couldn’t believe what was happening.
Her plan sounded good, but it went wrong in one way.
Khaled is a being of a status that can never be controlled even if one sacrifices his life for it.
She died like that without knowing it. She was an SS-class user and Karma’s executive, so it was a meaningless ending.
“Tsk. The mood was suddenly broken. “You have to do what you have to do.”
Khaled seemed to be displeased with Princess Kako’s sudden intervention and glared at her corpse.
Grumbling.
Princess Kako’s body burned to nothing but a handful of ashes. Khaled then smiled as if he was satisfied and opened his mouth to the extent.
“human. You have proven your qualifications. Therefore, in the name of the demon world and the demon god, I propose this to you here.”
Khaled erased his playful voice and spoke solemnly.
“Do you have any intention of becoming the commander of the 7th Corps of the Demon World?”
Tiring!
<We have received a proposal from <Demon World>, a mysterious group that rules numerous universes.>
<<The Demon World> is a universe that runs solely on the law of strong self-reliance. You have earned the qualifications to become the commander of the 7th Legion by defeating the commander of the 7th Legion of the Demon World.>
<Do you want to accept? If you accept, you will receive a new title and the history of the Earth will change.>
“… … .”
“Hmm? Is the story difficult? To explain it as simply as possible, there are two options.”
Khaled said to Jeongdo with an expression that he was dying of fun.
“Would you like to become the commander of the 7th Corps? Or he will die here by my hand.”
“under.”
okay. This is the image of the devil he imagined. A being that never considers other beings and forces what it wants. These guys don’t care one bit even if other beings are ruined because of them. The answer was set in stone.
“I think there’s one more option.”
“Ohh. I love unexpected ideas like that. “I hope you’ll let me know, too.”
Jeongdo walked towards Khaled and opened his mouth.
“Khaled, commander of the 1st Corps, dies here at the hands of Jin Jeong-do.”
<You have rejected the Demon World’s offer.>
<<The Demon World> has become hostile. <Demon World> is a notorious organization throughout the universe. Many hardships will come your way, but overcome them. Suffering is also a stairway to climb to a higher place.>
Khaled burst into laughter at the answer.
“It’s the most thrilling thing I’ve ever heard in nearly 1,000 years. “I like it very much!”
Khaled’s sword, covered in black flames, flew towards Jeongdo.
<Lord. Please give a miracle to the lamb who believes in you.>
Paaaat!
Along with Joan of Arc’s voice, Do-do’s body began to glow brightly.
Skill <Baptism chant>
A self-buffing skill that increases stats and grants castle properties to all hits.
Jeongdo swung his flag spear towards Khaled with all his might.
Kaang!
The white-colored quill and the flame-stained sword of Khaled clashed with each other, signaling the start of the decisive battle.
