Episode 406. Shrine where the dead sleep (4)
Chiiik!
“Kieeeeee…”
Black smoke flowed out with a faint scream.
With this, the parasites in Teslon and Sylvia’s body completely disappeared.
I was finally freed from the terrible nightmare.
“Thanks to you, I was able to live. Jinhyeok-nim. If you hadn’t come, we would have harmed our fellow countrymen forever as these guys told us to.”
Sylvia expressed her sincere thanks.
You could see the pain in the past on his face.
After leaving the stairs and village where he belonged and coming this far, of course he must be exhausted both physically and mentally.
On the other hand.
“I’m going to kill you. I’m definitely going to kill you. It’s like a guy like tartar stuck in an orc’s molars.”
Teslon spat out a series of swear words.
Who said that?
If he had been calm, he would have given only the medicine.
Jinhyeok completely ignored Teslon and asked Sylvia what she was doing.
“What happened? Why are you guys here?”
“That’s… Recently, the Pandemonium has started to expand its territory at random. Originally, the demons, which were only seen in the middle classes and above, came to the place where the elves of the neighboring tribe lived, and soon took the village elves as prisoners.”
“…”
Jinhyeok’s expression changed.
‘To think he was expanding his territory while hunting elves at this timing.’
The Demon Realm shares the realm with Eden on the same level.
It also bordered on Olympus below.
Being so active in a situation where both sides are surrounded by enemies means that they are prepared for an invasion by other forces.
The opponent is probably Olympus.
Because while fighting a power war, only Olympus could hold Eden and Ragnarok in check.
good.
This alone was worth talking to Sylvia.
“But, how did you get involved? I put a barrier in the elven village?”
As long as even a high-ranking demon did not manifest, there was no way the barrier would be broken.
It was a barrier made with so much effort.
“Jinhyeok-nim’s barrier is still there. We got out of town and were taken captive by the demons. The high elves sought help from all the elves.”
“They’re the guardians of the elves, so they couldn’t have watched their own people suffer. Yes, I understood the situation.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
“Then, now we’ll go on our way. Sylvia. If there’s anything useful around you, scrape it all together.”
“Yes? Ah… yes. Captain.”
Sylvia nodded with her eyes wide open.
Jinhyeok immediately asked.
“Where are you going?”
“Since we survived, we plan to join the Elf warriors. Before it’s too late, we should wipe out all these fucking parasites and find and kill the demons who attacked the Elves.”
“There are elves? Here?”
“Yes. There is a tribe of high elves fighting the parasites.”
Whoa. They are elves who have not yet been infected.
I didn’t expect this…
If the elven army is on this floor, there are many ways to use it.
Because the high elves were the most mobile among the troops that moved in groups.
“I’ll go too.”
“what?”
“Passing through the lair of parasites alone is tantamount to committing suicide. Wouldn’t it be better if there was at least one strong guardian?”
“Wow! Actually, if Jinhyeok-nim is with us, it’s reassuring.”
“Sylvia! Who’s on whose side now!”
“No, that’s not it… I just want to get there safely…”
“Ehehe. Our Ranger Captain. Why are you being so mean. Don’t take your anger out on me. Let’s be realistic. Besides, I’m not saying I’m just going. Here’s a nice present. There is also.”
Jinhyuk pulled the rope.
OK.
“Turn it off…”
Jo Nam-chul was dragged along the floor.
“They’re demons. They’re trash that move as the limbs of the demons.”
“You mean you’re handing this guy over to us?”
“Take out the information and judge according to the laws of the elves. The high elves will treat you like a hero, right?”
“…hmm.”
For a moment, Teslon’s eyes fluttered.
As Jinhyeok said, if he took the enemy prisoner, his evaluation would definitely rise.
Besides, even though he is a nasty guy, one skill is guaranteed.
It is a proposal that has nothing to lose if you bend your pride.
The worry didn’t last long.
“Okay. Instead, promise me one thing.”
“What promise?”
“Whacking the high elves…”
“Hey! What are you looking at me for!”
“Never steal any weapons or treasures there.”
“…Kuhm!”
“Damn it, I knew it! You were trying to steal again, right?”
“No, I’m not saying I’m going to steal it. If there’s something left without an owner, huh? It’s nice, but I’ll use it. It’s like this.”
Imagine a molar or fang still stuck in a cave.
It may look plausible for decorative purposes, but the practicality would have been minimal.
“Stop bullshit. Promise me. On your honor.”
“Okay. Anyway, I’m quick to notice.”
It was when Jinhyeok licked his lips as if he was sorry.
Tring!
Suddenly, a blue status window appeared in front of me.
[There is a call request from ‘upper resident’.]
The caller is ‘laziness’, one of the seven deadly sins.
He was a direct slave of a company who had been promised information in exchange for saving his life the other day.
“wait for a sec.”
Jinhyeok moved his seat for a while.
Upon arriving at the place covered by the reeds, Jinhyeok accepted the call request.
“It must be important information. I’m a bit busy right now.”
“Uh…. It’s important. It’s important. Actually, I should have said it sooner… It’s annoying…”
Who knows, it’s not the sin of indolence.
Annoyance dripped from his voice even though his life was at stake.
“Enough with the introduction, talk about the main topic. If you sang something that was not a big deal, I’ll immediately activate the stigma of marriage and turn it into ashes.”
“Right now… is it on the 27th floor? Where is the temple or something?”
“Go ahead.”
“The upper level demons… went there. Her name is Remia. A succubus of Guntafer… what was it? Anyway. She’s quite annoying.”
Remia Celtrick.
yes i know the name
As Guntaper’s henchman, he had some pretty powerful unique abilities.
It is one of the most annoying enemies except for the demon king class because it completes the task it has been entrusted with and the process is neat.
“And the ‘gluttony’ bastard also came. Be careful. That word… hah. I contacted you to tell you. Is this enough for your life?”
“…!?”
One of the seven deadly sins came here.
This plate is bigger than I thought…?
‘I was going to finish it a little lightly and go upstairs, but it might take a little longer than I thought.’
Right now, players are preparing for a naval battle on the 29th floor.
Before entering the 30th floor in earnest, he heard the advice that he should get benefits from the 29th floor.
‘It will take a week or two for the players to settle down on the 29th floor, so I’ll have to set that as the time limit.’
At least, all you have to do is go back until the sea dragon ‘Gigant Dalos’ appears.
The more difficult the situation, the greater the return will be.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
As I thought so, my heart began to beat pleasantly with anticipation and excitement.
＊＊＊
Splash! Splash….
The mud sinks all the way to the calves.
The further we went, the deeper the swamp became.
“Are the high elves really here?”
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue.
Even though he was protecting himself with magic, crossing the swamp was not usually difficult.
Not to mention Teslon, for Sylvia, even taking a single step seemed like a limit.
“We’re almost there, so be patient. More than that, why the hell did you bring this skull gourd? Besides, isn’t the girl next to you not even a human?”
“Ah. Our T-Bone?”
“Moongrak.”
T-Bone tilted his head.
“It’s okay. Even if he’s an undead, he’s a different breed, so he won’t harm the elves.”
“Yes. I like milk with lots of calcium. Ogre milk is best if possible.”
“Did you see? They say they don’t like elven meat.”
Frey will also quietly follow orders, so you don’t have to worry.
Of course, Tesla didn’t like all of this.
But even if you say it for a hundred days, not even the seeds will be eaten, so there was nothing I could do other than just gossip.
How long did it take?
At last the point where the swamp land ends came into view.
A fortress that seems abandoned long ago.
The exterior, made roughly of wood, was literally on the verge of collapse.
“For a place where elves live, the atmosphere is strange. It would be better to call it an undead village.”
“Master. Even the undead would refuse to live in a place like that. I wonder if all the neighborhood facilities are equipped in a new south-facing area built for at least 5 years.”
“Three monkeys.”
Theslon opened his mouth.
OK.
Cuckoo coo!
The entire citadel shook.
Magnificent giant trees soared above the worn-out wooden fences. In no time, thick grass grew that seemed to cover the sky.
A fortress blessed by nature.
At first glance, the front gate, which had several types of barriers and anti-magic defenses overlapped, was not unusual.
“I made preparations in my own way to avoid the eyes of the enemy. So that only those who know the password can enter.”
“Indeed, if this is the case, it is possible to cheat to some extent. Isn’t our Sloane smarter than we thought?”
“Don’t call me a beggar nickname. Unless you want an arrow in the back of the head.”
Right then.
“What kind of bastards are they!”
Sharp shouts were heard among the trees.
They are high elf warriors.
“This is Teslon leading the rangers on the 6th floor! I was attacked by parasites and managed to escape and come back here!”
“Teslon?”
“Ah! I remember. The elf who led the 4th Ranger company.”
“Yes, that’s right! Come on in… Huh?”
A whimper escaped Teslon’s mouth.
An arrow passed past my ear and stuck to the ground.
The arrow shaft still trembled.
It was clear that he was outright threatening.
“why?”
“No one infected with a parasite ever comes back to their senses. I don’t know what they did to pretend to have regained their sanity, but clumsy tricks won’t work.”
“Oh, misunderstanding! We really got rid of the parasites in our bodies!”
“Ohhh. Yeah? How do you mean? Did the undead next to him even help?”
The high elves looked down with hostile eyes.
It seems that something has been seriously misunderstood.
Of course, misunderstandings accumulated in such a way cannot be easily resolved.
“It will take me a year to say it. I don’t have time to talk to the punks. Quickly call him upstairs.”
Jinhyeok stepped forward.
“You arrogant…!”
“How dare a human like you give an order to a high elf?”
The fair faces of the elves contorted into a stern
look . doesn’t sound right? Or do you have to repeat what you said 100 times in order to understand it? I’m trying to save you guys, but don’t be patient and open the door.” ” This
bastard
will
rip you to death
!
” Dalgrak. Throwing dirty blades at Master.”
Frey and
T -Bone
appeared in front of
Jinhyeok like lightning
. Certainly, while I promised to stay calm!”
Teslon shouted at Jinhyeok with a pale
face .
eat. If the opponent is a human like me, even more so.”
If so, you just need to tell them thoroughly . Whether the opponent is
a person to be proud of or a beehive that should not be touched
.
I took out the longbow ‘molar’.
