Episode 474 The Mystery of the Devil’s Land (3)
Rei prepared to face the goblins.
First, we started by cutting down trees in the meadow.
Was it because he killed the monster and absorbed mana?
It didn’t take much longer than I thought to cut down the tree because my strength was better than before.
After cutting down five or six trees, Ray wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Phew. Will this be enough?”
Organize the twigs of the cut tree and make something like a long spear.
It is a large intestine and a carpenter.
Because he had learned from Derp, his hands were unobstructed.
Having made a spearhead large enough to fit in his hand, Ray started digging the ground at the entrance to the meadow with it.
The trapping technique learned over the shoulder from Hongyoung shone.
He dug a tunnel and inserted the sharp spearheads he had made under it.
Then, it was lightly covered with a branch.
Leaves were scattered over it and grass was lightly covered, so it was hard to think of it as a trap.
The remaining spearheads were inserted diagonally outside the trap so that the goblins could not push in at once.
Even at this level, the goblins wouldn’t be able to fully demonstrate their power.
“All that remains is for the goblins to come.”
After installing all the traps in one day, Ray, who was free, decided to take a short break.
I lay down in the shade of a tree and looked up at the sky.
The sun is still shining and the wind blows.
It looks like being outside.
Where does the leisurely flowing stream come from and where does it go?
I was curious and wanted to check it out.
However, as they followed the stream, they were soon blocked by an invisible wall.
Perhaps this place had the appearance of a meadow, but the size seemed to be no more than a slightly larger room.
“It’s a strange structure.”
It is clear that there is a core that is the core of the dungeon inside this underground.
But the exact location was unknown.
Since I couldn’t use mana, I had no choice but to find out by feeling, because signs of mana repeatedly appeared and disappeared as if something was being interfered with.
How many more floors would I have to go underground to remove the dungeon’s core?
I don’t know, but I have a hunch that I will probably have to go down quite a few floors.
If the dungeon was like this, what would be the situation outside?
Even if it was just Celia, the entire Duchy of Soleil had been turned into a dungeon, so there would have been a lot of uproar.
‘Is this also the work of the black room?’
To turn a principality into a dungeon?
As far as Ray knew, only Black Room could commit something of this magnitude.
But for what?
“Hmm…”
I thought about it, but I don’t know.
I’ve been thinking about the current situation for a while.
A slight sign was felt from the outside.
“Kigigiggeek!”
“Hey hey hey!”
The cries of the goblins and the torches lighting up the dungeon hallway, which had become dark at night, were entangled together.
Judging by the number, it far exceeded the number he expected.
Even with a cursory glance, there are more than fifty of them.
I wondered if I would be able to deal with all of them with my current body.
Ray tensed his whole body.
He took out a dagger from his waist and occupied an advantageous position.
A long row of goblins in the corridor pointed at him and howled in anger.
“Kieack!”
“Kigeek! Kieh!”
I can feel a lot of anger in the old voice, as if I had suffered a lot.
He picked up the spearhead that Ray had prepared in one place and threw it with all his might.
Wedge-!
With the sound of cutting the wind, the spearhead was pierced right into the face of one of the goblins.
Poo-!
Without even trying to do anything, one goblin died.
Seeing this, the goblins became even more furious.
“Kiyiik!”
The goblin who appeared to be the commander pointed a finger at Ray.
Then the goblins in the back quickly stepped forward.
That moment.
Whoops-!
I fell into a trap Ray had prepared.
The ground was dug, and the bodies of the goblins were caught on spearheads inserted into it.
In an instant, more than a dozen goblins died screaming.
The mana that made up the goblins’ bodies was absorbed by Ray.
A feeling of freshness permeated the moderately tense body.
Maybe it was because he killed a lot of goblins at once.
More power than before.
Excited, Ray threw the spear again.
Wedge-!
The goblins also threw stones at them, but they were frightened by the spears aiming at the head right in front of them.
Thanks to that, the stones they threw didn’t even reach Ray properly.
Poo-! puck-!
As the wooden spears continued to pierce the heads of the goblins, the goblin commander, who was inferior to them, gave a chin gesture.
Then, a huge goblin, probably the size of an orc, stepped out from behind.
coo-! coo-!
It’s big enough to be called a goblin.
Even Ray was so shocked for a moment that he forgot to throw a spear.
“Kuaaaaa!”
The roar mixed with mana, and his body stiffened at once.
The goblins cheered.
“Oblin. Kiggy Geek.”
“Oh Oblin… Kii.”
It’s called ‘Oblin’ in an awkward language, but that seems to be the name of the giant goblin.
Why is it oblin?
Could it be that it’s not a combination of Orcs and Goblins?
The goblin, called Oblin, jumped over the trap that other goblins couldn’t overcome in one step and rushed straight to Rey.
Rey had no choice but to back down once because she believed in her huge body and pushed her forward.
Kwaaaang-!
The tree Oblin collided with was completely shattered.
gulp.
The saliva passed by.
If he were to be attacked by Oblin in his current state, he would surely die.
As I raised my dagger and glared at him, Oblin struck me down with a huge fist.
It’s a radical attack, but it’s sloppy because there’s no trick.
He twisted his body to avoid it, and cut it slightly with his sword, but it didn’t hurt as if he had scratched a block of stone.
Oblin then threw a fist.
It was not appropriate to bet all damage as he stretched out his huge fist at close range.
Fatigue gradually builds up in the grip even if you gently spill it with a sword.
‘Keueueueugh….’
Even though I didn’t block the attack from the front, my hands were tingling.
What do you mean by the power you ate?
‘If I go on the defensive like this, I will lose.’
Thinking that counterattacking by looking for an opening is meaningless, Ray went straight into the offensive.
His attack continued as if he loosened his posture and flowed like water.
But it was only a small scratch.
Since he couldn’t inflict fatal wounds, it seemed that the decision would never come.
“Oohhh!”
When Oblin shook her fist as if it were annoying, her body froze at the roar mixed with mana, so she couldn’t avoid it.
Although belatedly, he urgently raised his sword, but there was no time to dodge like before.
Kaaaang-!
“Cool!”
Ray coughed up a handful of blood.
The shock is great.
My vision was blurry because my head was shaking.
I pulled my left foot back and managed to balance myself, but my legs were still shaking.
Apparently thinking he had the chance to win, Oblin slammed hard.
Ray moved his body hard and evaded all the attacks quite close.
“Kieack!”
“Kiyi!”
The goblins threw stones from behind.
The boulder, which had no power before, only felt big.
If I stumbled here even once, I would be beaten by Oblin’s fist and lay down.
The war situation is not good.
It happened because he was conceited that only goblins could defeat him somehow.
I never expected that there would be an ambush like this.
Rey squeezed out the last of her strength.
He bent down and lifted his heels, making his body look like a bow.
In that state, as he spurred the ground with all his might, his new model shot like a darting arrow.
Unable to keep up with the speed, Oblin’s fists swung through the air.
He jumped over the wall of the window in front of him.
Then, a group of goblins glared at him as if they were waiting.
“Kieack!”
Clubs and scythes are held in their hands and wielded.
The trajectory was obvious, but it was difficult to find gaps because there were so many.
Hitting a club or light attacks with his body, and attacks that could lead to fatal injuries were bounced off one by one, making a path.
Then, he overcame the goblins and ran through the dungeon corridor.
I feel the angry goblins chasing after me.
The leg that had been kicking off the ground gradually slowed down.
Power drains from the hand holding the dagger.
is this the limit
“Aaaagh!”
His legs gave out and he collapsed.
“Kick.”
“Kiki kiki kick.”
While the goblins were laughing and walking slowly.
Koo Goo Goong-!
The structure of the dungeon has changed.
The last time he saw the dungeon hallway where he was and the room in the meadow were reversed, his whole body lost all his strength.
* * *
“…not prison.”
“If not prison, where is this?”
The knights looked around and were confused.
It was so dark that I couldn’t see in front of my eyes, but I knew that the place was not a prison.
The air smells different.
In addition, unlike the cramped confinement prison, the walls and bars were out of reach as if it was wide open in all directions.
“I wish there was a torch…”
“The sound of being full. just be thankful for being alive. I thought I would die without moving when the ground turned over.”
At the words of one knight, the other knights recalled the appearance of the prison that they had last seen.
The iron bars were distorted and the ground turned over.
Because of the thick red fog, they couldn’t fully understand their surroundings, but it was a miracle that they were alive.
“Let’s try to find a way out first.”
That moment.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
A woman’s scream echoes in the dark.
Did you say that even if it rots, it is Junchi?
Even though they belonged to the Black Room, most of them were made up of knights, so they reacted sensitively to the woman’s screams.
No one said anything, but they naturally headed in the direction of the sound.
However, there were also articles that spoke as if they were a little reluctant.
“You can’t see an inch ahead, so who are you going to go and save? Unfortunately, our situation is not good either. It’s a little hard to say this, but I want to avoid a situation where I have to risk my life to save someone in the wild.”
The man who spoke was a mercenary.
In the first place, since he was a person far from chivalry, he did not want to go out to save someone now when he had no information.
The knights scolded him for that.
“If you don’t want to go, stay. But no one will help you when you ask for help.”
“How can people live when they are so cruel? As long as we help the woman, that’s enough for us.”
Leaving a few knights who followed the man’s opinion alone, the others walked in the direction of the sound.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
The woman’s scream resounded in the cavity.
