51. Rest
‘This is why apostles are annoying.’
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the fallen A-Il. The boy stopped moving only after his head was completely crushed. I could feel the tough vitality of the apostle.
‘I flew a special move from the start to go comfortably…’
I never thought there would be a second boss fight.
Kang Seung-hyun sighed and drank the stamina potion.
‘Next time, let’s use the special move only when hitting the last hit.’
It was a useful time to learn why people don’t use special moves from the start.
After self-reflection, Kang Seung-hyun took a light look inside the boss room.
‘I heard that the name of the god Aile worshiped was Kirkarashtel.’
A strange name I’ve never heard of anywhere.
However, it was clear that he was a divine being when he vaguely noticed the manager’s existence.
‘I wish I could hear more details about the manager. Shouldn’t I have let the child of I’il live a little longer.’
Kang Seung-hyun was a little disappointed, but soon changed his mind.
‘No, there’s no way I can tell you that. It must have been a condition.’
There is no God who helps humans without reason. In order to obtain information about the manager, he would have had to pay a price.
‘by the way.’
Organizing his thoughts, Kang Seung-hyun looked around. The other party members were still lying on the floor.
‘It’s time for these humans to wake up.’
“Uh…uh….”
“Oh, my head…”
[Released from ‘sleep’ state!]
I wondered when they would wake up, but just in time, they opened their eyes one by one.
“What happened…”
“Look over there.”
“Aile is dead!”
The bewildered party members shouted in astonishment. It was because I woke up and the colleague next to me was dead like in a mystery novel.
“That guy was the real boss monster.”
Kang Seung-hyun explained what had happened so far.
– “Gee real?”
“That can’t be…”
The party members who heard the story looked disbelieving.
“Aile did that?”
“That guy can’t believe it…”
Yes, that would be it. Aile was very kind to the party members.
Of course, it was a trick to collect sacrifices.
“There is a tremendous amount of dark magic in Mr. A’il’s body…”
“That is not ordinary black magic, but it is the dark magic imbued with the power of God!”
But Lakramati and Sahita were different. It was because he realized that Aile was not an ordinary human being, but an apostle.
“Everything Healer said is absolutely true.”
“Come to think of it, it wasn’t Aile who found this dungeon either!”
“Then, if it wasn’t for Kang Seung-hyun’s healer, we would…”
“Everyone would have died. It was offered as a sacrifice.”
The party members shuddered at the thought of the zombie horde they fought earlier. If they hadn’t come with Kang Seung-hyun today, they would have been in the same situation.
“Thank you for saving me. thank you!”
Shuire, who has a good head, immediately finished figuring it out and thanked Kang Seung-hyun.
“Actually, being a healer is a hobby and you are a high priest, right? A heretic inquisitor who hunts evil black magicians while hiding his power like this!”
It seems like I’m misunderstanding something again.
“The Heretic Questioner? You were a giant!”
“There are not many monsters that can defeat the black magician apostle alone! He’s definitely the Heretic Questioner!”
“Um, for some reason… So you hide your divine power… Do you know which denomination you belong to…”
“It’s not like that.”
Kang Seung-hyeon clearly said no, but no one believed him. Everyone just looked at them with respect.
“It looks like I have to hide it because of the doctrine.”
“You must be a really great person.”
“Let’s pretend we don’t notice.”
Kang Seung-hyun, who suddenly became the Heretic Questioner who hid his power, nodded as if he couldn’t help it and said.
“…Yes, actually, I am the Heretic Questioner. So stop chatting and let’s get out of here.”
The boss is dead, so the dungeon will soon disappear. The adventurers inside had to escape rather than chattering leisurely like this.
Kang Seung-hyun spoke to Shuire.
“Shuire-san, please draw a magic circle for escape. as loud as possible.”
“As big as possible?”
“Is it impossible?”
“Yes, of course it is possible! Please leave it to me.”
Shuire shouted with a confident face.
“I’m a wizard from the Mage Tower!”
He added that he was an excellent wizard.
“Then I think we can leave everything to Shuire-san… Ah, Priest Sahita.”
Kang Seung-hyun looked at Sahita this time and said. Sahita opened her mouth with a nervous face.
“…yes.”
“There is something the priest must do. Others, please follow.”
“okay.”
Everyone except Shuire nodded and followed Kang Seung-hyun.
-The place Kang Seung-hyeon headed was the path to the left of the fork leading to the boss room.
“Aren’t they going to stand up again?”
Kim Ho-jeong looked around the aisle and said. In the aisle, the zombies that were defeated earlier were strewn about. Their identities are the corpses of pitiful adventurers who were tricked by Ail and eaten as zombies.
“Now… I won’t move…”
Priest Sahita said with a bitter face.
The movement of the zombies seems to have completely stopped as the sorcerer Aile died.
“To think that these zombies were adventurers like us who came to clear the dungeon…”
“What would have happened if it wasn’t really Kang Seung-hyun’s healer.”
“Don’t beat yourself up too much.”
If there are scammers and scam victims, it is the scammer who is most at fault. Kang Seung-hyun lightly comforted the party members.
“How am I supposed to spot a guy who is determined and cheats on others?”
“That’s right.”
“And I didn’t call you to talk about that.”
Seunghyun Kang looked around and continued.
“It’s not surprising that people die on the Azul continent, but don’t you just leave these corpses as they are?”
It was unfair to be deceived and sacrificed, but the end of being abandoned in a dungeon that disappears. Either way, it’s a very sad ending.
“that’s right. Actually… I also wanted to bring up that story…”
Priest Sahita opened his mouth hesitantly.
“As a priest of the Church of Iber, it is something that cannot be overlooked…”
The corpse released from necromancy was thrown away, but how could the priest leave it behind? It was a natural thing to do if you belonged to the Ayver Church.
“Even if I can’t send these people… back to their families…”
“I want to give them a funeral. Is this what you want to say?”
“Ah yes!”
Priest Sahita smiled with a relieved face. Kang Seung-hyun also smiled as if to answer that smile.
“Me too. Can I leave the follow-up to the priest?”
“That’s right. The Ayber Church will… take care of this!”
Priest Sahita replied with a bright smile.
‘Though I’m actually pretty good.’
A corpse is just a corpse. A healer only needs to take care of the injured.
‘In the first place, black magic is partially legal in Azul Continent.’
He only helped the timid priest Sahita because he seemed pitiful for not being able to speak and hesitating.
“Is there anything specific we can do to help?”
“First of all… I think I can purify the remaining dark magic… and move the body… to the escape magic circle…”
Sahita pointed to the fallen corpse and said. If you get out of the dungeon safely, you plan to contact the Ayver Church to take over the corpse.
“To do so… start with prayers for the dead…”
Priest Sahita put her hands together and began to pray.
“Ia Iver. They want rest.”
“…”
“By your kindness…”
Priest Sahita, who had been praying for a long time, opened her eyes slightly and said.
“Uh… over there…”
“Yeah?”
“It’s burdensome when everyone sees it that way…”
Of course, everyone in the room was staring at Priest Sahita. Because there is nothing to do until the prayer is over.
“uh? Uh, don’t worry about us and do what you need to do!”
“I’m not trying to burden you!”
“But… but… I always… I was with other priests… Everyone is watching… I’m trying to do it alone… It’s a little… difficult…
” The timid priest’s voice gradually faded.
“So…wouldn’t it be possible for everyone to pray together…”
Finally, he asked for help from the people around him. In a voice so low that you have to pay attention to hear it.
“I’m not a member of the Church of Ayver, so I don’t know the text of the prayer.”
“It’s okay… All you need is a heart that wants the dead to leave safely…” All
you have to do is sincerely pray for the dead to rest in peace. The text of the prayer is not important.
Sahita asked with a desperate face.
“Then I will. Let’s all pray together.”
For priest Sahita who is burdened with praying alone,
“Ia Aiber.”
“Save them.”
“Uh… Namu-Abitabul Paradise Reincarnation…!”
The people gathered at the table each prayed for the deceased in their own way.
‘I screwed up that swindler, so everyone can be at ease and achieve Buddhahood.’
Kang Seung-hyun also prayed with appropriate feelings.
“Now rest in peace by Ayver-sama’s side.”
As Priest Sahita uttered the last verse of the prayer, a bright light spread out and enveloped the aisle. The dark magic contained in the corpse was completely dissipated.
“With this…the prayer is over…”
Priest Sahita bowed his head and said thank you for participating in the purification ceremony.
[Achievement achieved!]
At that moment, the achievement achievement message appeared.
[Accomplishment Achievement: Resting for the Dead]
[Achieved by participating in the Purification Ritual Prayer.]
“Clothes.”
Kim Ho-jeong looked into the air with a surprised face. Likewise, it seems that the achievement achievement message has appeared.
‘There are a lot of people around, so it’s okay to open your mouth…’
Kang Seung-hyun used one of the Korean communication methods.
‘Hey, you two?’
‘Hey me too.’
it should be like this too Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth with a satisfied face.
“Now we carry the body to the magic circle.”
Soon, Shuire would have completed the magic circle. I deliberately asked him to make it big, so he could easily move dozens of corpses.
“It’s not like carrying it like this, but how about wrapping it in a magic screen?”
“It’s good.”
“I will prepare the magic curtain.”
Flutter!
Tina created a magic screen and carefully wrapped the corpse.
“Then let’s move.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party decided to carry the body to the boss room.
-“Isle guy… did you kill all these people by yourself?”
“I guess so. It seems there are no other believers.”
“He was a really, really, really bad guy. If it wasn’t for the teacher… I don’t want to even imagine.”
Kim Ho-jung, who was carrying the body, sighed. I never thought that the kind-looking young man would be such a psycho-killer.
“Isn’t that guy going to come back to life?”
“If you have Kim Ho-jung’s ability, you can win.”
“Hmm… well? I’ve run away from apostles many times, but I’ve never fought…”
“If you don’t want to use skills, spin the roulette and push your stats.”
Dimension movers can become infinitely stronger through roulette.
Thanks to this, he is theoretically the strongest, but
“If you spin roulette, only your defense and stamina come out, making you a strong punching bag.”
“Sandbags can’t be helped.”
The reality is like this, so it’s hard to become strong easily.
Kim Ho-jung shook his head and took out a stamina potion.
“I just want to invest in Sensei Coin.”
“Excellent choice.”
Kang Seung-hyun nodded and received the stamina potion Kim Ho-jung gave him.
“But how did Mr. Kang know A-Il was a bad guy?”
“I can’t trust a guy who pretends to be nice. Avoid those who pretend to be nice to people, smile unnecessarily, and use honorifics in the first meeting.”
“That’s just Mr. Kang.”
It was when the two passed the halfway point of the aisle while talking about this and that.
“uh…?”
“What’s wrong?”
Lakramati, who was walking in the front, stopped moving with a shocked face.
“I can feel the dark magic in the Boss Room!!”
“I really am…! I can feel the dark magic!”
“what?”
Obviously the boss was defeated and there were no other monsters.
However, feeling black magic means that something happened in the boss room.
“Shuire is alone in the boss room right now!”
Lakramati hurried to the boss room.
“I’ll leave the corpse with you. Priest Sahita, we’ll go too.”
“yes yes!”
I ran to the boss room with Priest Sahita Kang Seung-hyeon.
