183. Irregular (4)
The battle with the dark lord did not last that long.
It’s also thanks to the tremendous amount of physical strength and mana that have been filled up with the Bloodthirsty Deep Gong, but… … .
It was through the command of the demons that he was able to seize this decisive victory.
“The spirit has absorbed the damage inflicted on the user.”
“The vampire spirit has disappeared.”
“The spirit of the panwing tribe has disappeared… … .」
“The werewolf’s spirit has disappeared… … .」
Ma Do-ok.
The ability to randomly seal one of the skills as soon as it touches the opponent has been rendered useless by Necromancy.
“Nonsense… … ! Big, what the hell is that ability! Why is my magic orb disappearing!”
Well, the dark lord was greatly astonished at the protective function of necromancy, but there was nothing strange about me.
‘All of this can be changed into ability points… … . It’s a waste… … .’
In other words, should we say something like equivalent exchange?
I blocked all the powers by consuming the spirits that could permanently increase my stats… … .
To be honest, I didn’t completely eat the battle raw either.
But the dark lord just howled because he didn’t know that.
“Aaaaaaa! This F*cking bastard—! I will curse! I will take revenge even if I have to give everything I have to the devil… … !”
Did you think it was impossible to bring victory?
The dark lord desperately vowed revenge and quickly turned around and started running away.
‘Perhaps after running away, I’m fully prepared to try again.’
At first glance, it may seem unsightly, but it’s a surefire way to speed things up… … .
There was no way I would allow him to escape by running normally without even a proper movement machine.
Wow!
The dark lord’s movement was sluggish, and I was able to easily subdue him.
“Big… … .”
Well, I could have killed him right away, but I didn’t want to do that right now.
That would be too… … .
“Revenge or whatever, I don’t know… … .”
There is something to be gained from the Dark Lord.
“Didn’t you say you stole items from the challengers?”
I smiled and said to the dark lord, who complained of pain with his face distorted.
“Give me all of that.”
Shouldn’t we be rewarded for winning?
***
fortress.
This city, which is classified as a full-fledged deep part of the giant tree labyrinth, was developed in many ways.
It’s hard to believe that it’s a city only built by demons in a labyrinth.
Among them, the dark lord’s fortress has the grandeur of a medieval royal castle.
There were facilities that were good enough to be compared to the grandeur of the fort’s exterior.
“therefore… … .”
It was worth it.
“Most of these castles were built with items stolen from challengers?”
This dark lord with a broken conscience has built a castle with the items of the challengers.
“That, yes… … .”
The dark lord, who had been easily squeezed into a few, answered that with his wolf ears drooping.
“As expected, it shows the extreme of wasting resources like a demon.”
At that, I clicked my tongue and slowly inspected the fort, which was dotted with self-interest.
“Now, what a waste of resources!? This royal castle has the best functionality created even while restoring the construction method of the demon castle that was actually fought… … !”
“I didn’t ask and I’m not curious.”
“… … .”
“So you’re saying you used up most of the items you’ve collected so far to build a castle for nothing?”
“You are right, but one correction. I didn’t do this unnecessarily, I used the supreme technique—”
“Each time I add my personal opinion, the lifespan may decrease a little bit, but is that okay?”
“… … sorry. You will be quiet now, so lower that fist now.”
Why do the demons have to raise their fists like this to keep their mouths shut?
‘That’s a very pitiful habit.’
It was a headache in many ways because the cooperativeness (?) did not come back to life until one hit.
“Guide me where the items are in the capital.”
I had no intention of spending a long time collecting rewards.
It was worth it.
Even after subduing him, demons were lurking everywhere in this fortified city.
It’s inefficient to search out like this, so I’m not moving in earnest… … .
‘If I give him a lot of time, he might start messing around again.’
If the hiding demons attack the team members protected by the guardian’s skill, it becomes difficult.
Therefore, as if I would not give the dark lord a chance, I held his shoulder with my hand and gave him strength.
“What will happen if you see the purpose of wasting time… … .”
Aww… … !

“You know roughly, right?”
As soon as I let go of killing him openly, the answer came back that met my expectations.
“Ah, I know! Yes, Jim is a man who knows how to surrender to defeat!”
You know how to conquer defeat… … .
‘Then why did you try to run away?’
Well, there were some ridiculous remarks, but I felt like it was okay.
“That’s it.”
He did not dare to hold onto his horse, but followed the guidance of the dark lord to explore all over the castle.
The look wasn’t bad.
It makes you feel as if you are visiting any museum.
Even unlike the museum, the best part was that you could get what you wanted directly.
“What is this?”
After quietly following the dark lord, a room with large red marbles suddenly appeared.
Looking at the bead, which is unusual even at first glance, it seems to be an item… … .
“Speaking of this crystal ball, it is an item of a challenger who climbed to the 19th floor 170 years ago… … .”
I didn’t want to hear an explanation, so I ignored the dark lord’s words and put my hand on the marble.
and.
“I received a magic amplification orb (A+) from myself.”
“Replaces the corresponding items with divine power and accumulates them in the heart.”
Right away, through the seal of offerings, it was replaced with divine power, and power was accumulated in the heart.
‘Maybe it’s an A+ grade item, so the amount of increase in divine power is quite substantial.’
Of course, it was too much to raise to the divine level, but growing little by little like this had its own taste.
‘It would be worth seeing if all the items in this city were replaced with holy power.’
As he raised his expectations, he suddenly heard a cry from the Dark Lord.
“Eh, the magic amplification beads… … ! A treasure that cannot be obtained even with a thousand gold… … ! oh oh oh oh… … !”
He was holding the back of his neck and acting as if he was about to pry his eyes out.
“To make a fuss with just one A+ grade item… … .”
It was to the point of worrying whether the spirit of the dark lord would be safe.
That would be too… … .
“Now guide me to the place where the other items are.”
The collection of rewards has only just begun.
***
Kugu Palace… … !
I smiled as I watched the dark lord’s citadel slowly crumble.
‘I got so many things.’
He took the dark lord and collected items installed throughout the fort and made a lot of profit.
Now, it is safe to say that the divine power accumulated in the heart has risen to the brink of a grade increase.
In addition, it was possible to obtain elixir-type items and raise some of the magical abilities.
「You have completed the Labyrinth Achievement ‘Unique’.」
「You will get +15 labyrinth points.」
「The skill ‘Loot (C+)’ is created.」
Even the unique achievement was achieved by destroying the fort.
Two birds with one stone, no, three birds with one stone is not a problem.
“Heh, heh heh… … . Gee, Jim’s royal castle… … . After, hehehe… … .”
Could it be because they wiped out all the items to the point of destroying the entire castle?
The dark lord laughed sobbing as if he had lost his mind, and then knelt down and asked me.
“I will give my life, so please don’t destroy this city… … !!”
Please don’t destroy the city… … .
‘He regards people as incarnations of some kind of destruction.’
I couldn’t understand why he suddenly thought of destroying the city when he had nothing to gain.
Of course, the story would have been different if there was something like a breaking sword that could destroy the city and take advantage of it… … .
At least for now, I had no intention of destroying the city.
“Please, leave the demons in the city and the city as it is… … !!”
But at this point, even if he had no intention of breaking it, he wanted to bully the Dark Lord.
“Is that the attitude of asking a person?”
“… … .”
“Polite word.”
“I beg you, please do not break it… … .”
“Yeah, it looks like I’m asking for a favor now.”
Suddenly, I remembered the female demon with wolf ears that I encountered as soon as I first entered the fortress city.
The demons in this fortress city were all demons with sophistry that they were good beings.
‘It’s a kind demon… … .’
At that time, he was indignant that the only good monsters were dead ones, but now he seems to be able to admit it.
‘Well, if this became good, it must be good.’
The vicious demons are bound to be reformed to those with experience who have reformed (?) even the fallen fairies.
As I was feeling proud of it, I noticed a black iron gate in the place where the fort had collapsed.
‘What is that again?’
It is in the form of a door attached to the ground as if it leads to the basement… … .
oh oh… … !
For some reason, thick demonic energy was pouring out of the black iron gate, making it uncomfortable to see.
To the point where I wonder why I didn’t know that such a thing existed until now.
I immediately asked the Dark Lord what it was, and the answer came back.
“… … It is a sanctuary. Inside, there is an altar where you can offer sacrifices to the devil.”
It seems to be a place related to God, but I became interested.
“Is there anything else besides the altar inside?”
“… … There are relics. But I can’t come in.”
“okay? Why do you think I can?”
“Now, hold on! fist! Put down your fists! There is a reason for this! Please listen!”
I thought that one hit would change the Dark Lord’s mind… … .
As it turned out, I wasn’t trying to do useless tricks.
There was a reason why the dark lord couldn’t enter it.
“Humans are not allowed to enter the sanctuary, and there is a waiting time for entry.”
“Waiting time for entry?”
“… … Once demons enter there, they cannot enter the sanctuary for a month.”
“Is that why you can’t go in?”
“Yeah, yes… … .”
“It’s tricky.”
I don’t have the Hwaryong’s eyes to tell if it’s true or false… … .
Considering that he didn’t feel the dark lord’s eyes or a sense of alienation, the odds of it being false were faint.
Of course, that didn’t mean that I would believe it straight away that it was the truth.
I looked at the dark lord and said.
“Open it.”
“… … yes?”
“Open it to see if there is really a waiting time for entry.”
“… … All right.”
Surprisingly, the dark lord followed my instructions without resistance, and soon pulled the iron gate attached to the ground.
Whoa!
It was so strong that it even made the sound of the iron door being forcibly pulled.
But the iron door did not open.
“… … .”
“Look, look. It’s not a lie, is it? I can’t go inside… … .”
“But in case you don’t know, I’ll open it.”
“No, no, why would you do that… … .”
clap… … !
「The Labyrinth Achievement ‘Sanctuary Open (Legend)’ has been achieved.」
「You will get labyrinth points +100 points.」
“The total amount of [HP] and [MP] increases by 40.”
The black iron door opened with astonishing ease.
It’s so simple that I can’t understand why this was a legend-level labyrinth achievement.
“Can it?”
In response, I immediately looked at the dark lord asking for an explanation.
however… … .
“Cow, you cheated! After all, there’s no way someone like you could be human! This dog-like demon bastard—!”
Instead of explaining, he smiled when he saw that he soon began to treat me as a fellow countryman.
“aha!”
I don’t know anything yet, but… … .
“I don’t think I remember why this happened, but don’t worry.”
It was possible to be certain of this.
“If you do, you will remember.”
If you beat the dark lord, you will know the answer.
