Episode 404 Temple where the dead sleep (2)
“Keeeeee!”
“It’s a fresh body… very lively…!”
As we entered the ruins in earnest, the parasites inside reacted.
Although their appearance was similar to that of various monsters, the strange claws protruding from their bodies showed that these were no ordinary monsters.
Tsutsutsu… .
Purple powder rising along the entire body.
If exposed for more than a certain period of time, it has the effect of gradually paralyzing the body.
Ogres, Orcs, Trolls, Lizardmen, etc. Parasites with different appearances drew their weapons.
“It’s troublesome if you run away… I’ll cut off both your legs first!”
The one who moved first was the largest ogre.
An ax as big as an adult man flew through the air.
however.
Quang!
The ax that seemed to cut the heavens and earth into pieces stopped in the air.
“Kuh?”
The ogre tilted his head.
.No matter how much force I use, it won’t move.
Even though it had three times the strength of a typical ogre, the ax did not even move.
“If it’s only this much, I’m so disappointed… I heard it’s full of difficult people, so I came here with a little bit of expectation.”
Jinhyuk put a little pressure on the dagger.
Then, as if it were a lie, the ogre’s body began to be pushed to the side.
“Mmm, prey… on the subject….”
“I guess it’s your story.”
Suddenly!
Very clean cutting sound.
Thick blood sprayed out.
Coo!
The ogre with its upper body cut off collapsed.
“……!”
“……?”
The giggling sound disappeared in an instant.
Parasites also felt it instinctively.
The intruder who appeared before my eyes was completely different from the ones that came before.
“You two should focus on tanking. Even parasite-type monsters won’t be able to parasitize on you.”
Undead and Homunculus.
Both have bodies that cannot survive.
It is for this reason that these two joined this raid.
“It’s an honor to fight together with the master after so long.”
“I’m not bad either.”
T-Bone and Frey took out long swords and short spears.
Quang!
The three leaped at the same time.
[T-Bone activates Lv16 ‘wide area provocation’!]
T-Bone dug into the middle of the parasites and attracted aggro.
Various weapons rushed in, but they were not enough to pierce T-Bone’s sword shield.
Even the claws and tentacles, which can be said to be the core of ‘parasitic infection’, could not penetrate T-Bone’s body, which only had bones.
A green glow burned in the empty pupils.
Puff puff!
T-Bone alone blocked the movement of more than ten enemies.
And take advantage of that gap.
Jinhyuk leaped into the air.
10 Barnard, who had become accustomed to the strengthened Hongryeon and his hands, was literally moving all over the place.
“Keeeeee!”
“Kaaah!”
It is useless whether it is a large medium-sized species or a small, agile species.
In the first place, Jinhyuk was moving at high speed, so I couldn’t even follow him with my eyes.
Quack!
A hole appeared in the twin-headed ogre’s heart.
‘The taste is really no joke.’
Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation.
Even if the parasitic monsters at the entrance to the ruins are relatively weak, they are at least 3 to 5 times stronger than the existing monsters.
However, Hongryeon was emitting flames as if she didn’t care about such things.
fault.
Jinhyeok, who appeared on the other side in an instant through ‘Shadow Killing’, swung his sword again.
The troll’s head flew all the way to the other side before it could even scream.
“strong.”
“We can’t do this.”

“We have to inform the higher-ups. A monster has arrived.”
Realizing that they had no chance of winning, the parasites chose to run away.
“Left. Five escaped. I’ll take care of it.”
Frey reacted immediately.
Puff!
The moment when the parabolic javelin smashed the head of a parasite with the appearance of a goblin.
Frey had already reached the goblin running away in another direction.
“The probability that you will escape safely is less than 1.35%.”
Still expressionless.
He simply recited calculated probabilities.
Even at the moment of taking the other person’s life away, no emotional ups and downs were visible.
“Kii…i?”
Sigh!
The short spear tore through my uvula and came out the other side.
＊
“Everyone worked hard. This is our first time putting it together, so it’s not bad. I think we can just continue like this.”
After Jinhyuk cleared the battlefield, he approached T-Bone and Frey.
The battle lasted only about three minutes, but each person had a clear idea of what they had to do.
“This level is basic, Master. Honestly, I don’t think I understand why this body with such a strong skeleton would step up against these scum.”
Only one. I wish that guy would just keep his mouth shut… .
One day, when it becomes useless, I will definitely boil it in bone broth.
Frey, who was next to me, also opened his eyes wide.
“Good…did you? Me too?”
“Yes. Frey did well too.”
“……I see.”
Frey held the short spear tightly with both hands.
“I’ll stab more and kill you. Don’t leave a single one behind.”
Again… . Again… .
Red drops of blood fell along the blade of the spear.
For some reason, it feels a bit strong.
Even though we were on the same side, it gave me a creepy feeling.
If you take even one wrong step, you won’t end up in a completely strange direction.
But that was when a new area of the ruins was opened.
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Save me!”
Multiple screams echoed from the front.
A number of undetected magical powers began to appear.
“…Screaming?”
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
There is no way there is a raiding party here.
There’s no way a large guild wouldn’t know how dangerous this place is.
However, the desperate screams were never imitated by monsters.
“Fray! T-Bone!”
“Yes. I’ll secure the surrounding area first.”
“Rattle!”
The three struck forward at the same time.
＊＊＊
By the time we arrived at the place where the screams were heard, it was already quite late.
Kaang! Kakakang!
Players wielding military flags and fighting with all their might.
However, more than a third of them had already long since become cold corpses.
No, more precisely… .
Although it was attacked by a parasite and became another parasite-type monster.
“Giggle! Come on, you guys… join us.”
“Yeah. It feels amazing, unlike when I was human!”
“My weakened body is over now. Hahaha!”
Players with bloodshot eyes swung swords and spears.
“Ugh!”
“Do, run away!”
“Damn. What are all these ruins?”
“That’s why I told you not to come in at all!”
The battle line is being pushed unilaterally.
They were already struggling due to the parasites living on the elves, and even the allies they had been fighting with just a moment ago had turned into enemies.
It is a natural reality that one cannot help but be terrified.
Right at that moment.
Buuuuung!
A red flash crossed in a straight line.
Like a meteor shower, the falling light struck the elves.
Kwaaaaang!
Fierce flames rose from a huge crater.
There was no one who could survive the explosion that mixed ‘red magic bullets’ and ‘destruction poison’.
Just being around them made my skin sting from the extreme heat.
Jinhyuk concentrated his magic power on his fingertips.
The red lotus stuck in the middle of the crater was pulled out and placed into Jinhyuk’s hand.
“Is everyone okay?”
“Go, player Jinhyeok Kang?”
“Really?”
“No, how did you get here… I thought you must have gone to the 30th floor…”
The players who barely survived looked at Jinhyuk with surprised faces.
“I came to this ruin because I had some personal business to do. But what brought you all here? Surely, entry to this ruin is prohibited even within the Awakened Association and large guilds?”
According to what I heard from Kim Hee-woong and Oh Ji-won, they lost 7 rankers in the top 3000 after the last raid.
Considering that everyone is skilled enough to conquer a B-level dungeon solo, this means that the level of difficulty is much higher than expected.
And yet you came in so recklessly… .
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned to the armor worn by the players.
A turquoise spider pattern. This is my first guild mark.
That means… .
“I guess you came here to promote the guild. Huh. I wonder if everyone is in their right minds….”
“Haha… well… you know that this is the only way for a new guild like us to grow, right?”
The man who spoke first made an awkward expression.
“So you’re saying we all crawled all the way to this place to die together? Even the strongest players are at an A-level level?”
“Well, we were planning on fighting briefly at the entrance and then leaving right away. That’s enough publicity.”
but.
“Someone blocked the entrance to the ruins, so we had no choice but to go deeper.”
Blocked the entrance? There is no Gate Guardian in this ruin?
“…How is that possible?”
“I don’t know. We’re too distracted….”
The man shook his head quietly.
Although it was only a partial clue, I was able to roughly understand what the situation was.
Low-level parasites would not have the ability to seal the entrance to the ruins.
The traps left by the demons still remain.
Or it could mean that some of the scattered demons are still here.
Either way, things go quite interestingly.
＊＊＊
The deepest part of the temple where the dead sleep.
The ruins that once struggled to bring down the devil have suddenly turned into a tomb full of sleeping parasites.
No, to be exact, there were still some people left.
The Mine Association was disbanded after losing its leader, Nietzsche, and the knights belonging to the Round Table to Jinhyeok.
And the shell created by the remaining forces.
Gurgling!
Red blood poured endlessly along the circular altar that was about 10 meters long.
“Where is he now?”
The beautiful-looking demon opened her mouth.
It was the succubus ‘Remia’ who came to the ruins under Gunthafer’s orders.
Then, those gathered as if they had been waiting responded.
“Currently. We have passed through Area 3 and are moving deeper.”
“Looking at the speed, I think it will only take two days to get here.”
“The Death Knight and the blue-haired woman who came with us are also quite strong. Fortunately, it seems like there are no other companions, including the matriarch of Ataraxia.”
Temporary leader Mordred. Percival, one of the knights.
Likewise, Tristan, who held the title of knight, was at the executive level.
And there were about twenty demons and Melena around them.
“Is it just the three of us who came here?”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Remia’s mouth.
I was worried because it was notorious for being a pain in the ass.
I thought that the effort I had put in to prepare for this might have been excessive.
“Remia-sama.”
“Yes, Mordred. Speak.”
“Please, would you please give me the honor of taking his last breath?”
The years passed by on Mordred’s face.
All his grand plans went to waste, and he lived a life of running away, chased by the government and guilds.
If I hadn’t had the driving force of revenge, I might have gone crazy long ago.
However, it is said that happiness comes after suffering.
The time has finally arrived to be compensated for all that.
And that too while receiving the support of one of the Demon King’s direct subordinates.
and. If you make a clear mark on this matter, your future life will also change completely.
“Once I get what I want, I can do whatever I want after that.”
“thank you.”
Mordred lowered his head and took a step back.
Remia lay down on a chair made of turquoise spider web.
“Come now. I will make you one of the many dead people sleeping here.”
