129. Never, a good guy
will say “Have something to say?”
Kang Seung-hyun, who was about to strike Gordian down, stopped moving for a moment. Pierced at the tip of the dagger, Gordius wriggled and sent a telepathic message.
< I will strengthen your abilities! So that I can become stronger than I am now! >
Gordius began begging desperately to live. I felt like I would do anything to save my life.
< Originally, you have to pay for it... but if you save me, I'll pay for it. How is it? >
“….”
< Besides, you ignore my mental control, so you won't be manipulated by me, right? >
He offered to strengthen Kang Seung-hyeon’s abilities in return for saving himself.
At first glance, it is a trade in which there is nothing to lose.
“I was wondering what you were going to say. I suggest something I don’t need.”
However, Kang Seung-hyun refused without hesitation.
“What?
”
What can be enhanced with symbiote powers are universal physical abilities, such as strength, stamina and agility.
Because healers don’t really need them.
“If you want to do business with me, you have to prepare what I want.”
Kang Seung-hyeon tried to cut Gordius down as if he didn’t deserve any more.
< Information about the Transfer Dungeon! >
At that time, Gordius emitted desperate telepathy.
< Don't you guys have a lot of questions about this dungeon? If you spare my life, I will tell you all the information I know ! The transition dungeon did not appear for hundreds of years and was completely forgotten on the Azul continent. All that is available is very simple data, and detailed information has been lost for a long time. 'Certainly I need information. Even the Adventurers Guild staff don't know much about the transfer dungeon.' Once the transfer dungeon appeared in the Red Forest, it meant that it could appear in any number of other places. 'People don't even know that transition dungeons are more difficult than normal dungeons. Even with this dungeon right now, that's the case. Gordius, the boss monster of the dungeon, has a strong spirit-type skill, so unless you prepare a countermeasure against mind control, you can never win. 'Shouldn't it be better to inform the dimension movers first?' Dimension movers who desperately searched for a way to get to Earth often sought places that others did not usually go to, such as dungeons or abandoned lands and polluted areas. 'It's obvious that when those guys find a transfer dungeon, they'll rush at it without covering their heads.' It is true that dimension movers are much stronger than the people of Azul Continent, but there were quite a few people who lost their lives. 'Because there is a high probability of fighting strong monsters or entering dangerous dungeons as much as they have strong power.' Kang Seung-hyeon, lost in thought for a moment, accepted Gordian's proposal. “Let’s listen to it once.” -< Originally, I was making dungeons like everyone else. >
Originally, the habitat of Gordianus Larva was the desert area of the southern part of the Azul continent. Of course, the dungeon was also being built based on the rough and dry sand rocks of the desert area, but
< Then, when the dungeon was almost completed, it received a powerful attack that seemed to warp space. >
When Gordius came to his senses, it was with the dungeon he had created. It is said that he was in the Red Forest.
“I thought you came because you wanted to come.”
< There's no way a monster living in the desert would come to such a humid place on purpose! >
Unluckily, the Red Forest was an area with many wet and damp places due to the influence of Pitsta Lake.
Because the habitat environment was not suitable, Gordius was unable to exert his full potential.
< As I just explained, anyone can make a subspace dungeon, a general dungeon in Azul Continent. >
“Anyone?”
Monsters as well as humans can create their own subspaces if they have enough magical power.
The inventory system used by dimension movers is also a kind of subspace created in that way.
< Of course, in order for a monster to create a dungeon, it needs to gain the power of a boss-level monster, and it will be difficult for humans unless they are as skilled as the swordsman or the Archmage Archpriest . There are few other than dimension movers sucking honey with cheat keys and a very few skilled people who are experts in certain fields. “Then not everyone.” < Because anyone with a lot of magical power can make it. >
So, in theory, any member of Azul Continent can create a dungeon. The same goes for monsters as well as humans.
< But the transfer dungeon is different. It cannot be created without the power to transcend dimensions. >
A transition dungeon refers to a space that exists in another dimension that has been moved to the Azul Continent.
To be able to do that, you had to have a mighty power that transcends dimensions.
< No matter how big the boss monster is, it's impossible to move the entire space. The existence that can do that is... >
Gordius was silent for a while, then sent the next telepathy.
< There is only a divine existence. >
“God?”
Information about the transition dungeon that has been erased from Azul history.
That is, the transfer dungeon was born due to a divine being with the power to transcend dimensions.
“Why are you here now after being quiet for the past few hundred years?”
< That I don't know. >
“You shouldn’t have to tell me that.”
< Because this is all I know. >
He was subtly unhelpful.
< But I don't know who he is or what kind of god he is, but I can say that this is certain. > When a
divine being draws in an external space to create a transition dungeon, the time and space of the Azul continent is greatly distorted.
< That's not a good guy. >
If you ignore that and continue to create transition dungeons, the Azul continent will not be able to withstand the distortion of time and space and will perish.
‘That means there is an evil god somewhere who wants the destruction of Azul Continent.’
I got some surprising information from an unexpected place. The transition dungeon was one of the means by which God could destroy the Azul continent.
‘Why did this important information disappear?’
Even if the transfer dungeon didn’t appear for hundreds of years, it was unnatural for that much information to just be forgotten.
‘…someone intentionally erased it.’
Every effect has a cause and a reason.
Kang Seung-hyeon was convinced that some group intentionally hid information about the metastasis dungeon.
“I didn’t expect much, but it was more than I expected. Thank you….”
It was the moment Kang Seung-hyun was about to say thank you to Gordius.
“You were careless!”
Le Peny’s voice came from behind.
When I looked back, even with my eyes closed, my hair turned white and I could see Lefenny, who had been infected by Gordius, charging at me.
“…”
Le Peny is now on the verge of collapsing due to the amount of blood drained from his body.
So, the guy took advantage of Kang Seung-hyun’s moment of deep thought and became a parasite. It was impossible to withstand mental control in this state.
“I’ll pay you back for what I received earlier! It’s a skill cancellation!”
Gordius intended to cause Kang Seung-hyun to cancel the skill the moment he used it.
“…you can’t either.”
I was going to watch it this time because I handed over good information, but I don’t think I need to watch it now that I see it.
[Observing eyes]
“Huh?”
As Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes emitted blue light, Gordius muttered with a puzzled face.
“You’re in contact with the magic repulsor, but you’re using a skill?”
[Extraction]
While he was flustered, Kang Seung-hyun activated [Extraction].
Shaaaa!
A huge bony hand appeared from behind. Of course, Gordius, who was a parasite on Le Peny’s body, couldn’t see it.
‘Like before, he aimed for the neck this time too.’
rattle rattle rattle!
Kang Seung-hyeon grabbed Le Peny’s neck with his translucent skull grip.
Faaaa!
Then, just like before, Gordius, who had been hiding inside, was dragged into Kang Seung-hyeon’s hand.
‘Don’t be ridiculous. I’m definitely a magic repulsor as a host…!’
That was Gordius’ last monologue.
Woowook!
Kang Seung-hyeon immediately swung his dagger and split Gordian’s body in half.
Tuduk.
Severed remains of insects fell helplessly to the floor. Seunghyun Kang muttered as he brushed off his dagger.
“That doesn’t work for me.”
Of course, the dead Gordius couldn’t hear that.
dump!
When Gordius escaped, Le Peny’s body was thrown to the ground like garbage.
“The number of patients infected with parasites has increased to two.”
Kang Seung-hyun looked at Le Peny and Bill Seihan, who had collapsed on the floor.
Both of them were lying face down.
‘Bill Seihan was hit hard, but thanks to Gordius’ strengthening of his body, there were no fatal wounds.’
In terms of the amount of damage, the patient was the most injured at this spot, but it is not the most critical.
A day or so of rest will help you recover.
‘The problem is Le Pennie Demershire’s bastard.’
But it wasn’t Le Peny.
Although he received the symbiote’s reinforcement belatedly, he suffered from a state abnormality called “Excessive Bleeding” due to a large amount of blood loss before that.
‘If I leave it like this, I will die.’
Even if it wasn’t, he was in bad shape, but Gordius moved his body forcibly, so his condition got very bad.
‘I have to do a blood transfusion first.’
The most urgent thing right now is excessive bleeding.
Healing wounds is meaningless unless the lost blood is replenished.
Tadadat!
Tadat!
“Leader! Leader! How did it go?”
“We are here! Relax now!”
“Le Peny Kang Seung-hyun Healer. Is everyone okay?”
At that time, with a loud noise, the three Red Roads, less than nickel and gascoin rosettes, appeared.
“The kids being manipulated collapsed.”
As Kang Seung-hyeon defeated Gordius, it seems that all mental control over the members was lifted.
“Everyone came just fine. I need a blood transfusion right now.”
“Blood transfusion? What is it?”
“…Mr. Le Peny is suffering from excessive blood loss and needs blood.”
“Eh!!!???”
“Leader??”
The two were frightened when they finally saw Le Peny collapsed.
“Use my blood!”
“I’ll give you blood too!”
The two raised their arms without hesitation for a second.
[Blood Transfusion]
“You can’t have two people.”
If you use the [Blood Transfusion] skill, you can check if a blood transfusion is possible even if you don’t know the blood type.
[This person’s blood cannot be transfused.]
[This person’s blood cannot be transfused.]
Nickel and Gascoin were judged not to be transfused. If you ignore this and just use [Blood Transfusion], Le Peny will die of shock.
“You’ll need someone else.”
“I’ll go and get the others!”
It was the moment when Nickel jumped up and was about to run out.
“Le Le Peny…”
Rosent said with a pale face.
“I can’t accept other people’s blood.”
“Could it be because of the magical repelling constitution?”
The blood of creatures living on the Azul Continent contains magic, albeit in very small amounts.
Because of that, even if a mana repulsor is transfused with blood, he cannot function properly because of the mana repulsion.
‘Then, the person who can transfuse blood into Le Peny’s body is either a mana repulsor or a person who has no magic.’
So, in theory, there would be no problem with Kang Seung-hyeon’s blood, which had no magic power.
[This person’s blood cannot be transfused.]
That only happens when the blood types match.
This is because the blood type of humans on the Azul Continent is more numerous than the ABO formula on Earth.
‘Fuck, where can I get the blood of a magic resister right now?’
It was close to impossible to get the blood of a magic resister, a fairly rare constitution, and blood with the same blood type right now.
It is better for a person with such rare blood to draw and use his own blood.
‘…Actually, it’s not that the inventory doesn’t have the blood of a magic repulsor.’
Seunghyun Kang looked at the corner of his inventory. I used quite a bit, but what was Le Peni’s blood remained.
‘I can’t use it right now.’
It’s because what’s left in the inventory now is the blood ‘arrow’ of the magic repulsor made from Le Peny’s blood.
‘Let’s shoot this. It won’t have a blood transfusion effect, but it will have the same effect as drinking blood through the mouth.’
Unless you acquire some new skill, this arrow cannot be used for blood transfusion.
‘Is there really only one way?’
After thinking for a while, Seunghyun Kang opened the status window.
‘I didn’t want to use it as much as possible.’
It’s time to use a trump card reserved for use only in an emergency.
