Episode 163
The commotion that occurred early in the morning woke up the Sanwa tribe.
-What’s the fuss!
-The lion suddenly started barking. Lime.
-Ominous sounds coming from the mine… .
Buildings sprouting up like mushrooms in the underground city. Snails crawled out of the windows of that high-rise building. Hundreds. Thousands. Tens of thousands. From the snail in the lightest sleep to the snail in the deepest sleep. The Sanwa tribe’s slime covered the walls.
-Is it a commotion? Is it a rebellion?
-It’s a rebellion!
-Blow the trumpet!
-Lime! Let’s awaken the spirits of our ancestors!
Snails crawled up the wall. slap! The snails hit their own cheeks with the antennae on their heads. That was how they woke up.
Buuuu-…
The Sanwa tribe who climbed to the top of the wall first blew their trumpets. It wasn’t a horn. It was the shell of an already dead snail. The Sanwa tribe used the shell left behind by the death of their compatriot as a coffin and let out a long, disturbing trumpet sound.
Buuuuu-
Following the first trumpet, other Sanwa tribesmen also climbed the wall. The Sanwa people who climbed the wall picked up the shells of their compatriots and brought them to their mouths. Numerous buildings rose from the underground city, and each building throbbed.
organ.
Each building became a pipe and resonated throughout the great void. Buuuu. Buuuu. The organ chords played by the Sanwa tribe shook the dark underworld. The sounds of goblins coming from afar were drowned out by the harmony.
Wow! Wow!
The dogs raised by the Sanwa tribe barked. The Sanwa people considered dogs sacred, as they were said to resemble gods. Dogs that grew up in caves had wet noses and muffled cries. The ferocious bullshit was crushed by the chords of the dead snail.
“Krrr.”
I broke the iron bars. Suddenly! The iron bars on the forepaws strengthened with auras were sliced like tofu. The zookeepers belatedly crawled out and pointed at me with their antennae, but I had already escaped and was running through the streets of Police.
-It’s a lion!
-The gladiatorial lion escaped!
The snails that were climbing the wall were surprised to see me. There were also snails that ran away in a hurry to higher places. I hit the pavement with my back foot and jumped onto a huge pillar – the very pillar on which the history of the Sanwa tribe was carved.
“Krrr!”
My front paw dug into the pillar. A red aura oozed from his feet. I climbed up the pole, step by step, like a mountaineer climbing a rock wall.
-Lime!
-Hey, look over there!
The Sanwa tribe was surprised by my ascent. The Sanwa people who were climbing the wall of another building scattered, shedding slime. Among them, there was a mountain tribe member who lost his balance, stumbled, and slipped.
I climbed to the top of the pillar and looked down at the city.
Buuuuu…
The underworld was still overflowing with trumpets. It was the sound flowing from a dead body. Following the sound, the Sanwa tribe armed themselves and gathered. Sanwa troops were moving throughout the city. It won’t be long before they subdue the goblins.
‘I won’t leave you alone.’
I opened my chest. None of the buildings were taller than the pillar I was currently climbing. I inhaled the highest air in the city into my lungs and slowly opened the lion’s maw.
Gooooooo-
A loud cry came out of my mouth.
Like ripples spreading across a pond, the lion’s roar pushed away the Sanwa tribe’s trumpet. As I pushed it out, it spread further and further. My lungs were deeper than the hollow body of a dead snail, and my voice was fiercer than their chords.
-Choose!
Finally, the goblins were seen. Goblins were gathered at the mine entrance, holding stone hammers.
In other words, I saw them, which means that those children also saw me.
The goblins shouted.
-Kekkerukker!
That was my name.
When the language of the Jeju tribe was still wandering among the cries of beasts, the goblins called me Kekerukker.
‘Ke’ meant water. Goblins called everything transparent and pure in this world ‘Ke’.
‘Keruk’ meant the sky. Goblins called something high and sacred in this world ‘Keruk’.
‘Kher’ means meat. It also meant beast.
So my name is.
-Kekkerukker!
A pure white beast that came down from the sky.
He said, “White lion.”
I stood tall in the middle of the underworld and roared.
“Guru!”
When they saw me on the pillar, the Sanwa tribe stopped and the goblins stamped their feet. The goblins formed a line. This was the hunting formation that I taught me a long time ago when I was hunting a bison.
The goblins still cherished the time they shared with me two hundred years ago. Just as a word thrown by a parent without meaning to leave a mark on the child for the rest of his or her life.
I felt a sense of responsibility as I saw the ranks of goblins.
-Guru!
good night.
My youngest strangers.
I will take you to the hometown you desire.
“Crrrrrrrrr.”
I put strength on my front foot. The aura that welled up from the heart flowed down to the lion’s forearms, the lion’s paws, and the lion’s claws.
So so so so so-.
A crack appeared through the gap where the claws dug into it. The red aura quickly seeped through the spider web and into the pillar.
Demon Heavenly God’s Gong·Kae’s Demon Heavenly God’s Power·改.
First type.
Yeomsang Yugeom 炎上幼劍.
The huge pillar shattered like a glass window. The snails screamed. Sculptures painted on pillars. Stone pieces containing the mythology of the Sanwa tribe were broken.

I went down, blame, blame, stepping on the fallen fragments of the pillar. When it finally landed on the ground, the pillars had all collapsed. A thick layer of dust rose around me.
‘Now the spirit of the Sanwa tribe has definitely collapsed.’
People of this era lived in mythology. The collapse of a pillar was on a different level from simply collapsing a building. The pillar was part of the history and religion of the Sanwa people, and therefore the collapse of the pillar meant disaster.
God has descended.
‘On the other hand, the goblins’ momentum will become equal.’
But I wasn’t the only god walking in the underworld.
I heard an oracle that I never gave.
[The Heretic Questioner is impressed by your quick plan.]
At that moment, a hunting dog jumped through the cloud of dust.
“Kaaaa!”
The hound howled and scratched my waist. It was a surprise attack. I screamed and swung my front paws. Whick! But my claws struck the air, not the hound’s head. The hunting dog right in front of me suddenly disappeared.
‘Sacred magic!’
I immediately realized the identity of the hunting dog.
‘Has the Heretic Questioner also been possessed by a beast?’
The Heretic Questioner immediately knew what I was aiming for. Toppling the pillar that symbolizes the religion of the Sanwa people. Putting the Sanwa tribe into a state of panic.
I tried to create a scene from a myth and quickly achieve victory. If the Sanwa tribe falls into chaos, it becomes easier for the designated tribe to escape. Then, the Heretic Questioner also possessed a divine beast and confronted him.
‘Where are you?’
My back ached. Blood flowed from the wound torn by the hunting dog. I looked everywhere, but the Heretic Questioner was nowhere to be seen. The surrounding area was still covered in a cloud of dust, obstructing visibility.
‘Where will you show up? Heretic Questioner!’
It was at that moment that the smell of oil reached my nose.
“Crr!”
As soon as I smelled the oil, I rolled to the side. thud! The hound jumped out of the air and hit the ground where I had been just a moment ago. The hound stuck out his tongue as if he was disappointed.
The hunting dog had golden fur.
It was clear that Sanwa priests had always taken care of that beast. There was a small jewel embedded in the hound’s tooth. The short-trimmed fur had swirling wave patterns.
Above all, the smell of a perfume similar to olive oil emanated from his entire body.
‘You probably chose Shinsu to fight against myth.’
I let out a roar, an animal sound.
‘That’s defeat. Heresy Questioner. Your body smells strong. I was attacked once, but don’t think that a second attack will work while giving off [that kind of smell]!’
With this body, I could only emit a lion’s roar. But the Heretic Questioner seemed to understand my cries. He realized that his tactics had become meaningless and gave up his raid.
We looked at each other and took one step at a time.
“Carr.”
“bowl…”
The sounds of hunting dogs and lions mingled in the dust.
I circled slowly to catch the hound’s heels.
‘You can’t beat me in a one-on-one fight, even if it’s a group battle. Although your sacred art has tremendous power, it is more of a support skill. If you don’t have a comrade to fight with you, you’re only half-hearted.’
The golden hound cried.
To me, it sounded like the Heretic Questioner’s laughter.
[The Heretic Questioner says he is happy to fight with you.]
‘Happy?’
[The Heretic Questioner wants you to prove that you are more capable than him.]
I did not immediately understand the meaning of the message.
The hunting dog seemed to have read my expression and moved its front paws more slowly.
[The Heretic Questioner speaks.]
[He just moves to achieve the best results.]
Slowly the dust cloud settled.
[Each person has different abilities.]
[The best of a competent person is better than the best of an incompetent person.]
[If you prove to be more capable than him, the Inquisitor is willing to obey you.]
Beyond the settled dust, the faces of the Jeonggi tribe and the Sanwa tribe could be seen.
Two races were confronting each other with us in between.
[I have shown you the best over 200 years.]
[The Heretic Questioner now asks what you do best.]
The hound rushed in.
I also opened my eyes and raised my claws.
At the same time the two of us collided, the citizens charged towards the slaves, and the slaves charged towards the citizens.
-Lime!
-Kekkerukker!
The Sanwa tribe wore leather armor and wielded blades with their tentacles. The goblins did not have proper clothes, so they hit the stone hammers with their bare bodies. In terms of armament, the citizens were overwhelming. However, the snails were shaken by the sight of the pillar collapsing, and were pushed out by the slaves in terms of morale.
“Grrrrrrrrr!”
My claws tore off the Inquisitor’s hind legs. Kaaaa! The hound twisted its neck and screamed. However, my attack did not result in a critical hit.
Every time he was about to deliver the final blow, the Heretic Questioner skillfully used sacred techniques to avoid it. Sacred techniques were no longer useful for surprise attacks, but were still effective for evasion.
The meaning of the Inquisitor’s tactics was clear.
‘Are you wasting time?’
The hunting dog cried softly. Although I could not understand the sound of the hunting dog, I could easily imagine the Inquisitor’s intentions.
The Heretic Questioner was saying this.
‘For now, the Sanwa people are in confusion, but they will gradually come to their senses. And more troops will be concentrated here. If I just take my time, I have no choice but to win.’
Before delay.
That was the Heresy Questioner’s tactic.
“Krrr.”
I glared at the hound, bleeding from my waist. The hound limped out on its hind legs and made eye contact. We both became wounded animals.
‘It’s not a bad tactic, though.’
I growled.
‘That only works when I’m trying to handle it on my own. ‘It’s the right choice in the current situation.’
Time was never on the Inquisitor’s side.
To be more precise, he could not be on the side of the Sanwa tribe.
The time that snails have ruled until now has now strangled them.
[A rebellion breaks out in Slimepolis!]
Wow, something appeared in the air.
Black swan.
The black swan spread its wings and let out a long cry.
[The vampires rise up against the Sanwa tribe!]
The Black Dragon Lord’s divine beast appeared using space transference.
The bats hanging from the ceiling of the cave flapped their wings. Bats descended on the snails moving toward the salt mine. The Sanwa clan screamed and swung its tentacles, but the vampire bared its teeth even more fiercely.
‘It’s not you who wasted time, it’s me. Heretic Questioner.’
The roar of the beast that echoed through the underworld did not stop there. From the wharf where the river flowed, from the port where the salt sacks were piled, four roars erupted from the western end of the cave to the eastern end.
[The Saegi tribe rises up against the Sanwa tribe!]
[The noble tribe rises up against the Sanwa tribe!]
[The Fairy tribe rises up against the Sanwa tribe!]
[The Sunin race rises up against the Sanwa tribe!]
It was the sound of an empire collapsing.
