183. Irregular (4)
The battle with the dark lord did not last that long.
It’s thanks to the tremendous amount of physical strength and mana that he gained from 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 spirit of the vampire
has disappeared.
」
Magic Taoist).
The ability to randomly seal one of the skills as soon as it touches the opponent has been rendered useless by Necromancy.
“Nonsense…! What the hell is that ability! Why is my magic orb disappearing!”
Well, the dark lord was greatly astonished by the protective function of the necromancy, but there was nothing magical about me.
‘All of this can be converted into 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 fucking bastard—! I will curse! I will take revenge even if I have to give my everything to the demon…!”
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 stall…
There was no way I would allow him to run away without even having a proper moving machine.
Wow!
The dark lord’s movement was sluggish, and I was able to easily subdue him.
“Keuuuuuuuu…”
Well, I could have killed him right away, but I didn’t want to do that right now.
He would be like that too…
“Revenge or whatever is not my business…”
Because 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 city.
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.
“So…”
It made sense.
“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’s right…”
The dark lord, who had simply been squeezed into several units, replied with drooping wolf ears.
“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.
“What a waste of resources!? This castle is equipped with the best functionality that was 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?”
“You’re right, but I’ll correct one thing. 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 your 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 hunt them down, so they’re not moving in earnest, but…
‘If I give them a lot of time, they might come back to work 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 grabbed his shoulder with my hand and gave him strength.
“What will happen if you see the purpose of wasting time…”
Whoops…!
“You know roughly, right?”
As soon as I let go of killing him openly, the answer came back that met my expectations.
“Oh I know! Ji Jim is a man who knows how to accept defeat!”
To know how to succumb to 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.
The marble, which is unusual even at first glance, 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…
” Ignoring it, I placed my hand on the marble.
and.
“I received a sacrifice of magic amplification beads (A+) from myself.”
“The corresponding items are replaced with divine power and stored in the heart.”
Immediately through the seal of offering, the power was accumulated in the heart by replacing it with divine power.
‘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 level of divinity, 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.
“The demonic amplifying orb…! 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 only one A+ grade item…”
It was to the point where I was worried about whether the Dark Lord’s spirit would be safe.
That would be the case…
“Now guide me to the place where the other items are.”
The collection of rewards has only just begun.
***
Koo-Goo-Gung…!
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.
「The labyrinth achievement ‘City Plunder (Unique)’ has been achieved.」
「The Labyrinth score is +15.」
「The skill ‘Plunder (C+)’ is created.」
Even the fortress was demolished and the Unique achievement was achieved. .
Even if it is two birds with one stone or three birds with one stone, there is no problem.
“Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe that Jim’s castle will be…”
Is it because he wiped out the items as they were 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 sacrifice my life, so please don’t destroy this city…!!”
I ask you not to destroy the city…
‘They regard people as incarnations 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…
but at least I had no intention of destroying the city right now.
“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?”
“…”
“Respectful words.”
“I beg you,
please don’t break it…”
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.
‘Because they are kind demons…’
At that time, I was indignant that the only good monsters were dead ones, but now I think I can 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’s in the form of a door attached to the ground as if it leads to the basement…
Gooooh…!
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.
“…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 is a holy relic. But I can’t come in.”
“okay? Why do you think I can?”
“Wait a minute! fist! Put down your fists! There’s a reason for this! Please listen!” I thought the dark lord would change his mind if he got
hit
once .
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 a demon enters there, it cannot enter the sanctuary for a month.”
“Is that why you can’t go in?”
“That’s right…”
“It’s tricky.”
Although there is no Fire Dragon’s eye that can distinguish between truth and lies…
Considering that the dark lord’s eyes and sense of dissimilarity were not felt, the probability of falsehood was 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 land.
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.
“…”
“Take a look. It’s not a lie, is it? You can’t go inside…”
“But I’ll open it just in case.”
“No, I can’t do it, but why would you do that…”
Clap…!
「Achieved the Labyrinth Achievement ‘Legend’」
「Acquires labyrinth score +100」
「The total amount of [HP] and [MP] increases by 40.」
The black iron gate is ridiculously easy opened
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.
By the way…
“It was a cow! After all, there’s no way a guy like you could be a human! This devil’s son of a bitch—!”
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…
“I don’t think I can 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.
