Episode 479 The Devil’s Land, the Underground (5)
Victory and defeat are clearly decided.
From the moment Ray’s wooden sword touched the goblin’s chest, the battle had already ended.
The goblin backed away.
“Keek….”
He trembles as if indignant.
Ray was genuinely amazed at their growth.
Although he was only a goblin, he could feel that he had grown stronger than before, perhaps because of his training.
They, who didn’t even know how to hold a sword, are now aiming for vital points.
When the instinctive senses of a beast and systematic swordsmanship were combined, a monster was born.
Is that all?
Yesterday and today were distinctly different because he accepted everything he taught.
At most, it was just a gesture of holding the sword and lowering it, but there was no way that Ray could not notice the presence of mana contained in it.
‘It’s not just because the intelligence of the goblins is high. Clearly, the dungeon has a beneficial effect on the goblins.’
The goblins who had grown up on the 4th floor had already easily surpassed the intellect of most people.
If you teach them properly, you will be able to create an army that is more than a decent knights.
* * *
Four days since I trained the goblins.
Now, the goblins have abandoned their traditional fighting methods and learned how to deal with monsters with basic checkups.
At first, he seemed to hesitate, but soon a few goblins followed suit, and the rest of the goblins soon followed suit.
‘I’ll be fine if I do this.’
There is less than a day left before the descent plan.
If I do well in this state, I think I will be able to do the basic checkup and practice.
The Goblin Queen spread on the floor in exhaustion.
“How about taking a break for a while?”
It’s definitely tiring.
This is because they are only training for two days without eating and not sleeping properly.
Anyway, at the current speed, I could even plan the descent properly, so Ray gave permission for a break.
“good. I am resting for a while.”
At his words, the goblins threw their swords and fell to the ground.
“Kueeeeee….”
“Keek… keek…”
There are quite a few goblins who fell into distress as soon as they fell.
When did they ever move and train like this?
The Goblin Queen was taken aback by the change in her body.
‘I didn’t even kill the monster, but it’s strange.’
It feels a little different from absorbing mana and getting stronger.
His senses sharpened and he was able to sense the presence of the goblins around him, albeit roughly.
No matter how difficult it was, I was able to notice a change in less than a week.
Unless you’re an idiot, you’ll understand.
That said, the efficiency of training is ridiculously good.
If he had no talent for martial arts, what would the other goblins be like?
You may not know it, but you are sensing a great change.
That’s why I’m following the hard training so hard.
Ray prepared dinner to feed the goblins.
Tomorrow, I have to go down to the 5th floor right away.
For the condition, it was better to eat and marinate until full.
“I wanted to save this… Jeop.”
Finally, I took out the remaining meat of the deer monster and put fondant into the soup that was boiling.
Although the amount is not much, there is no better meat to brew the soup with.
If you make soup with the meat of another monster, you won’t be able to eat it properly because the fishy smell and fishy smell will mix together.
“As expected, it doesn’t work well to boil soup in a stone pot.”
The goblin’s lair is built of stone.
Ray dug it up and turned it into a pot.
It’s tolerable now, but when I first cooked it, it tasted like death because of the stone bits chewing in between.
I didn’t have anything to season, so I roughly crushed up pieces of grass and put them in an assortment.
It can’t taste good.
No matter how tender the meat of the deer monster was, it was not easy to cook because there were no seasonings or vegetables to support it.
Hwijeokhwijeok Stir the soup and taste it.
The aroma of meat soup and the sour taste you don’t know.
It tastes like vinegar added to plain meat soup.
It wasn’t food that people could eat, but in a dungeon, this was a delicacy.
Goblins snooped here and there as if they smelled the rice.
“Keeeeeee!”
“Kiki kick. Key profit.”
Now, Rei was able to understand the language of the goblins to some extent.
“Anyway, I’m afraid it’s not a monster, so I’m very aware of the smell of meat.”
After feeding the goblins, he scooped up the leftovers from the stone pot and put them on his bowl.
When I tasted it, it didn’t taste too bad.
Looking at the flickering light of the bonfire and the simple scenery of the goblin lair, I could swallow this kind of food with pleasure.
The Goblin Queen climbed onto her high throne and spoke.
“Listen.”
At her word, the goblins stopped eating and looked at the goblin queen.
When everyone’s eyes gathered, she continued.
“We leave the house when the sun rises tomorrow. There is no longer any hunting or breeding here. If we go down, we will make our home again.”
“Keeeh!”
“Keew!”
“Many deaths will follow. But we are goblins. It is a great race that does not fear death. Our will will be followed by the goblins who will be born after us. So don’t be afraid no matter what opponent you meet. Thank the goblin god for having you in a glorious fight.”
Goblin God.
At those words, the goblins quietly lowered their eyes.
It seems to take an example reverently.
The Goblin Queen looked at Ray this time and said.
“I owe you, man. Even if you go down to the 5th floor, our goblins will never attack you again.”
“I won’t kill goblins unless I get attacked first.”
The goblin queen drooled, feeling strangely chilled by the grinning words.
“Hmm… Human monsters are truly terrifying.”
Rather, Ray is afraid of the rapid growth of goblins.
If they had had a little more time, I didn’t know if they could have gone down to the 5th floor as well as the 6th floor.
‘I’ll have to be content with having a friendly relationship.’
Goblins will become stronger in the future.
It might even become the strongest monster in this dungeon.
There was nothing wrong with being friendly.
“Thank you for sharing your valuable experience with us.”
Goblins value experience as much as their lives.
Their lives are short.
Compared to human life span, it was really short.
That’s why the most valuable thing to them was experience.
They pass on their experiences to their children and to their close friends.
To receive the experience of the goblins means that they are recognized as part of their clan.
That’s how all goblins keep one experience.
When it became two and three, the goblins grew stronger as they accumulated previous experiences.
They had enough experience to survive on the 4th floor of the dungeon.
The Goblin Queen reverently closed her eyes, and Ray also closed them.
Although it was an alliance for only one day, the first friendly relationship was created within the dungeon.
* * *
More than 20,000 people entered the dungeon.
However, when I came to my senses for some reason, there were only about 300 people around me.
The high priest lost consciousness as soon as he entered the demonic realm.
I don’t know how much time has passed since then, but what’s certain is that as soon as they entered the Demonic Realm, they scattered.
He woke up the knights who hadn’t come to their senses yet.
“Everybody wake up!”
“Umm…”
The knights held their heads and barely raised themselves.
A hallway swaying with scarlet lanterns that were barely visible.
Thinking of a huge cave, they were mesmerized by the first glimpse of the inside of the Demonic Realm.
Somehow, I can feel the fishy smell of blood mixed with the animal waste.
“Priestess… This is…”
“…Yes. This is a demonic realm.”
The high priest looked around with a dark expression.
It’s so dark that I don’t even know where to go.
What’s more, the entrance to the Devil’s World, where they should have entered, was nowhere to be seen.
‘There is no way out.’
That means you have no choice but to move forward.
A large army of 20,000 men had now turned into a small army of a little over 300 men.
I’m worried that this amount of people will be able to overcome the Devil’s Land.
A thousand chiefs approached the high priest.
“… High Priestess, I don’t think we should move hastily.”
“I think so too…”
Since they were the vanguard, they were far from the wagons loaded with supplies.
It was in line with the saying that edible food and drinking water were not on hand.
In order to feed and drink more than 300 people, it is impossible not to move.
Perhaps he knew his intentions, but did not know that the Cheoninjang was disrespectful, and sighed.
“Whoa… From the beginning, we had only one option.”
“Fortunately, there are more knights than soldiers, so there won’t be any major difficulties.”
He spoke for consolation, but why didn’t he know that he was a high priest?
The Magician is a dangerous place. It’s not a place where you can go in without knowing anything in a situation where you don’t have any information.
The millennium ordered the knights and soldiers to line up.
Originally, this was supposed to be the job of a general or knight commander, but now there are only three commander-level people.
After that, he was the highest after the High Priest, so the command of the troops naturally belonged to him.
Knights and soldiers stood in line.
“Take the Centurion troops and look around and come back.”
At the words of the Cheoninjang, the Baekjang-jang slightly frowned.
There is nothing more dangerous than stepping out recklessly now that the mana in the body has been extinguished.
What’s more, this place is the Magic Land.
Sending oneself to a situation where one doesn’t know what awaits in that dark place is no more than telling one to give one’s life.
“But Chief Cheonin-nim…”
“I won’t listen to disagreements. Go ahead and see.”
“…yes.”
Baek In-jang, who was overcome by the force of Cheon-in-jang, left the entrance with about 50 soldiers.
* * *
The Millennium Chief did not allow him to take the knights with him.
That’s why the centurion could bring only soldiers.
“You really do too much.”
By the time the spitting centurion had completely passed through the entrance.
The scent of blood, which had been faintly felt before, stung his nose intensely.
“Ugh…”
I couldn’t see it closely, but I could see traces of a bloody battle on the floor just before.
The corpse of a monster I’ve never seen before rolls across the ground.
That moment.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
A woman’s scream was heard.
A mournful scream that seemed like it would collapse at any moment in fear.
That was enough to move the centurion’s heart.
“I found someone! Follow me!”
