Episode 406 Temple where the dead sleep (4)
Chi-ik!
“Keeeeee….”
Black smoke flowed out along with a faint scream.
With this, the parasites in Tethlon and Silvia’s bodies completely disappeared.
I was finally free from my terrible nightmare.
“Thanks to you, we survived, Jinhyeok. If you hadn’t come, we would have forever done what these guys told us to do and harmed our own people.”
Sylvia expressed her sincere gratitude.
I could feel the hardships I had gone through on my face.
Since you have come this far away from the level and village you belong to, of course you are bound to be tired both physically and mentally.
On the other hand.
“I will kill you. I will definitely kill you. You are like tartar on an orc’s molars.”
Teslon kept swearing.
Who told you to mess around like that?
If he had been quiet, I would have just given him some medicine.
Jinhyuk completely ignored Teslon and asked Silvia the whole story.
“What happened? Why are you here?”
“Well… Recently, the Demon World has begun to expand its territory as they see fit. The Demons, who were originally only seen in the middle layer and above, came to the places where elves from neighboring tribes lived, and soon took the village elves captive.”
“…….”
Jinhyuk’s expression changed.
‘What’s the right time to expand our territory by hunting down elves?’
The Demon World is divided from Eden by the same level.
Down below, it also bordered Olympus.
The fact that both sides are taking such active action in a situation where both sides are surrounded by enemies means that they are prepared for invasion by other forces.
The opponent is probably Olympus.
Because during the power war, only Olympus was able to keep Eden and Ragnarok in check.
good.
This alone was worth talking to Sylvia about.
“But how are you all involved? I put a barrier around the elf village?”
Unless even a high-level demon appeared, the barrier would not be destroyed.
It was a barrier that had been created with such great care.
“Jinhyeok’s barrier is still there. We went out of the village and were taken prisoner by the demons. The high elves sought help from all elf races.”
“Those guys are the guardians of the elves, so they couldn’t just watch their compatriots suffer. Yes, I roughly understand what happened.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
“Okay, now we’ll go on our way, Sylvia. Gather anything useful from around you.”
“Yes? Ah… Yes, Captain.”
Sylvia nodded with her eyes wide open.
Jinhyuk immediately asked back.
“Where are you going?”
“Since I survived, I plan to join the elf warriors. Before it’s too late, I have to wipe out all these damn parasites and find and kill the demons who attacked the elves.”
“There are elves? Here?”
“Yes. There is a high elf tribe fighting parasites.”
Hoo. These are elves who haven’t been infected yet.
This is something I didn’t expect… .
If the elf army is on this floor, there are several ways to use it.
Among the troops that moved in groups, the most mobile were the High Elves.
“I’ll go with you too.”
“what?”
“Going through a parasite den just the two of you would be tantamount to suicide. It would be nice to have at least one strong protector.”
“Wow! Well, it’s reassuring if Jinhyuk is with you.”
“Sylvia! Who is taking whose side now?”
“Well, that’s not it… I just want to be safe….”
“Hey, our Ranger Captain. Why are you being so grumpy? Don’t take your anger out on me. Let’s be realistic. Besides, I’m not just going to leave. There’s a nice gift here.”
Jinhyuk pulled the rope.
OK.
“Off….”
Jo Nam-cheol was dragged along the floor.
“They’re demons. They’re trash that moves as the hands and feet of demons.”
“Are you saying you’re going to hand this guy over to us?”
“We will extract information and conduct a trial according to elf law. The high elves will also treat you like a hero, right?”
“……hmm.”
For a moment, Teslon’s eyes shook.
If he took the enemy prisoner as Jinhyeok said, his own evaluation would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Moreover, even though he is an obnoxious guy, his skills are guaranteed.
This is an offer with nothing to lose, as long as you keep your pride in check.
The worries didn’t last long.
“Okay. Instead, promise me one thing.”
“What promise?”

“Either beat up the high elves….”
“Hey! What are you making of me?”
“You must never steal the weapons or treasures there.”
“……Keuhum!”
“Damn, I knew that! Are you trying to steal again?”
“No, I’m not saying I’m going to steal it. What if there’s something left unclaimed? It’s good, but I’m going to use it, or something like that.”
Look at the molars and fangs still stuck in the cave.
It may have looked good for decoration, but it would not have been practical at all.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Promise me. Put your honor on the line.”
“Okay. Anyway, I’m quick to notice.”
It was when Jinhyuk ate his food as if he was disappointed.
Tiring!
Suddenly, a blue status window appeared in front of me.
[A call request came from a ‘high-ranking resident.’]
The sender is ‘Sloth’, one of the seven deadly sins.
He was a direct slave of the company who had previously been promised information in exchange for sparing his life.
“wait for a sec.”
Jinhyuk moved away for a moment.
When we arrived at the place hidden by the reeds, Jinhyuk accepted the call request.
“It must be important information. I’m a little busy right now.”
“Uh… it’s important. It’s important, right. Actually, I should have said it sooner… but it’s too annoying…”
Who would say that sloth is not a sin?
Even though his life was at stake, his voice dripped with annoyance.
“Enough of the introduction, let’s just get to the point. If you call me for something trivial, I will immediately activate the Flame Soul Brand and turn you into ashes.”
“You’re… on the 27th floor, right? In that temple or something.”
“Go ahead.”
“A high-ranking demon… went there. Her name is Remia. She’s a succubus of Guntafer… What was it? Anyway, she’s quite an annoying woman.”
Remia Celltric.
Yes, I know the name.
As Guntafer’s henchman, he had quite powerful unique abilities.
He is one of the most annoying enemies, except for the Demon King class, as he always completes his assigned mission and the entire process is clean.
“And that bastard with the ‘gluttony’ thing also came. Tell him to be careful. Those words… haha. I just contacted you to tell you. This was worth your life, right?”
“……!?”
Even one of the seven deadly sins came here.
This is bigger than I thought… ?
‘I was planning to wrap things up a bit and go upstairs, but it might take a little longer than I thought.’
Now, players are preparing for a naval battle on the 29th floor.
I was advised that I should obtain benefits on the 29th floor before entering the 30th floor in earnest.
‘It will take 1-2 weeks for players to settle down on the 29th floor, so we should set that as a time limit.’
At least, all you have to do is go back until the sea dragon ‘Gigantdalos’ appears.
As the situation becomes more difficult, the return will also be greater.
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
As I thought about that, my heart began to beat happily with anticipation and excitement.
＊＊＊
with a splash! with a splash… .
Slush that sinks you up to your calves.
The further we went, the deeper the swamp became.
“Are high elves really in a place like this?”
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue.
Even though I was protecting my body with magical power, crossing the swamp was not usually difficult.
Not to mention Teslon, Silvia seemed to be at her limit to even take a single step.
“We’re almost there, so just be patient. Rather, why on earth did you bring this skull bag with you? And isn’t the girl next to you even a person?”
“Ah. Our T-bone?”
“Rackle.”
T-Bone tilted his head.
“It’s okay. Even though he’s an undead, he’s a different species, so he won’t harm the elves.”
“That’s right. I like milk with plenty of calcium. If possible, ogre milk is the best.”
“See? They say they don’t like elf meat.”
Frey will also just follow orders calmly, so you don’t have to worry.
Of course, Teslon didn’t like all of this.
Even if I said it all day, it wouldn’t work, so there was nothing I could do other than babble.
How long did it take to walk like that?
Finally, we reached the end of the swampy area.
A fortress that appears to have been abandoned a long time ago.
The exterior, roughly made of wood, looked like it was literally on the verge of collapse.
“For a place where elves live, the atmosphere is quite strange. It would be better to call it an undead village.”
“Master. Even undead refuse to live in a place like that. It would be nice if it was newly built at least 5 years ago and faces south and has all the neighborhood facilities.”
“Three monkeys.”
Tethlon opened his mouth.
OK.
Cuckoo cuckoo!
The entire fortress shook.
Majestic giant trees rose above the worn-out wooden fences. Soon, dense grass grew that seemed to cover the sky.
A fortress of natural beauty.
Even at a glance, the main gate, with various types of barriers and anti-magic defenses overlapping, looked unusual.
“We made our own preparations to avoid the eyes of the enemy. Only those who knew the password could enter.”
“Indeed, if this is the case, it may be possible to deceive the eye to some extent. Isn’t our Sloan smarter than we thought?”
“Don’t call me by a stupid nickname. Unless you want to get hit in the back with an arrow.”
Right then.
“What kind of people are they!”
A shrill shout was heard between the trees.
They are high elf warriors.
“This is Tethlon, leading the rangers on the 6th floor! I was attacked by a parasite and barely escaped and came back here!”
“Teslon?”
“Ah! I remember. The elf who led the 4th Ranger Company.”
“Yes, that’s right! Come on in… huh?”
A sigh escaped from Tethlon’s mouth.
An arrow passed by my ear and lodged in the ground.
The arrow shaft is still trembling.
It was clear that he was trying to threaten me outright.
“why?”
“There are no cases where a person infected with parasites comes to their senses again. I don’t know what they did to be able to pretend that they have regained their senses, but clumsy tactics won’t work.”
“Oh, that’s a misunderstanding! We really got rid of the parasites in your body!”
“Ho. Really? How can you say that? Did the undead next to him help?”
The high elves looked down with eyes full of hostility.
It seems like there was some serious misunderstanding.
Of course, there is no way that misunderstandings that build up like that can be easily resolved.
“It would take a year to talk. I don’t have time to talk to the idiots. Just call the guy up above.”
Jinhyuk stepped forward.
“cheeky…!”
“How dare a human give an order to a high elf?”
The elves’ pretty faces became grimly distorted.
“Are you just long ears like a rabbit and unable to hear properly? Or are you just eating grass and your intelligence has deteriorated so that you have to repeat what you said 100 times to understand? I’m trying to save you, but don’t keep losing patience and open the door.”
“This bastard will rip you to death!”
High elves with rolled-over eyes protested.
This time, the goal is not to warn, but to kill.
“It’s hard.”
“Rattle. You’re pointing a dirty blade at the Master.”
Frey and T-Bone appeared in front of Jinhyuk like lightning.
Kaang!
Kakang!
With a sharp clanging sound, the arrow split in half fell to the floor.
“W-What are you doing now? I promised I would be quiet!”
Teslon shouted at Jinhyuk with a white face. However, Jinhyuk smiled as if it was no big deal.
However, Jinhyuk smiled as if it was no big deal.
“Anyway, people with strong pride won’t listen to what they say. Especially if the other person is a person like me.”
If so, please let us know thoroughly.
Is the other person someone who can show off their pride? Or maybe it’s a beehive that shouldn’t be touched.
“Whether it’s late or early, we have to sort out our rankings at least once.”
Jinhyuk took out the longbow ‘Molar’.
