Episode 130 Lion’s Castle
“As expected, it is darkness.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled brightly as he saw the door opening.
“I thought I would never use the key, so I put it in your inventory, but this is what happened.”
A key is an item that can only be used if there is a door.
I tried to keep the key in it until I found the door to the Lion’s Castle, but thanks to my conversation with Darkness, the door opened on its own.
“It’s all thanks to you. Thank you so much.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded to Heuk-am.
If darkness hadn’t made fun of him, he wouldn’t have said he would open the door, and that door might never have been opened in his life.
I was truly grateful to Darkness.
-shut up! Are you kidding me!
The darkness trembled with its blade like a vibrating cell phone.
If his face had been seen, he would have been shedding bloody tears.
“I’m not joking, I’m serious. “If you hadn’t teased me about the key and the door, that door would never have been opened.”
-Keuuuuu….
“Now that I think about it, whenever you open your mouth, good things happen. Please talk more from now on. “I will listen to everything.”
-Such a bastard! You can’t go in!
Unable to hold back his anger, Darkness tried to cut down the bone door with his sword blade, but of course no trace was left.
-If only my body was mine!
“Stop it and come out.”
Baek Woo-jin sent the rampaging darkness behind him and stood in front of the door made of white bones.
“I can’t see inside.”
The inside of the door was shimmering black, so I couldn’t see the inside.
However, the energy of death felt from the undead was flowing throughout the door.
Chiiing.
Baek Woo-jin took out his training sword, inserted it into the door, and then took it out. There was no special change in the sword.
Sigh.
I put my left hand into the white bone door. I felt my skin brush against the curtain.
“There’s no problem.”
-Still, go in prepared. You stupid bastard.
Even in the midst of his anger, the darkness was worried about Baek Woo-jin.
“Of course you should. “Thank you for your consideration.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and brought up his status window.

“Swordsmanship and mana stamina will suffice, right?”
-That would be best.
Baek Woo-jin used 2,400 points to increase his sword mana and stamina by 1.
“How many top-quality potions are left in your inventory?
-I have nothing to use, so 99 remain as is.
“Then that’s it. “Because all of that has divinity in it.”
The highest-quality potion stored in Darkness’ inventory contains the energy of divinity.
Whether you use it for injuries sustained from the undead or spray it directly on the undead, it will be useful there.
“Because we have this in case of emergency.”
Baek Woo-jin turned the bracelet on his left hand. The power of Cirkon’s Holy Spirit Bracelet would work not only on demons but also on undead, so preparations were already complete.
-Tsk, they’re undead…
Darkness clicked its tongue as if it was regretful.
Judging from the deathly energy felt at the door and the name, it was clear that it was a place overflowing with undead.
For Baek Woo-jin, who has the title of ‘undead slayer’, Lion’s Castle will be no different from a children’s playground.
“Let’s go in.”
Baek Woo-jin crossed the door without waiting for the darkness to respond.
A pure white space appeared along with the sensation of a thin, soft cloth grazing my entire body.
“This is…”
It was a pure white space where nothing existed. I looked back, but even the darkness had disappeared.
“Darkness!”
I called out to the darkness, but there was no answer and I couldn’t find its energy.
“Is something wrong?”
In this space, the energy of death felt at the White Bone Gate was not felt. It felt like I had been transported to a completely different space.
“uh?”
When Baek Woo-jin tried to look around, the space shook.
The space in front of me fluttered like a curtain, and the silhouette of a woman with long hair appeared.
“female?”
As I tried to approach the woman, my silhouette darkened and my eyes automatically closed.
“omg!”
When I opened my eyes again, I saw darkness approaching right in front of me.
-Have you come to your senses now?
Darkness tapped his head as if he was pitiful.
“What about white space? “What about women?”
-What nonsense are you talking about?
“uh?”
Baek Woo-jin turned his head. Not only the silhouette of the woman but the pure white space itself disappeared.
“what!”
At a moment when Baek Woo-jin did not realize it, he had arrived in a completely different place.
The ground was stained black as if it had been cursed, and the trees were so dry that they seemed ready to fall at any moment.
The old castle in the center was built in brown and black and gave off an extremely gloomy atmosphere.
Besides that, the space was surrounded by black fog, making it impossible to leave.
“Didn’t you see it?”
-What are you still talking about?
“The woman in the white space.”
-White space? female? Are you really crazy?
“When I crossed the door…”
Baek Woo-jin told Heuk-am everything he had seen.
-Well, I didn’t see it. As soon as you walked through the door it was this dirty place and you were mesmerized looking at that castle.
“really?”
-What would you do if I lied? Didn’t you have a dream because you were tired?
“I want to try it again…”
– Sorry, but the door made of white bone was closed. Only when that castle is conquered will the gate open again. Do your job first.
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
It may be your illusion or it may be real, but what you need to do now is conquer that castle.
“let’s go.”
Baek Woo-jin touched the darkness and entered the Lion’s Castle. Darkness snorted and followed behind him.
“It’s gloomy overall.”
Inside the castle, the energy of death spread beyond the air. Just breathing felt like fraud was seeping into my lungs.
-That’s because the entire castle is covered with the energy of death. It is truly a den of the undead.
“At this level, you can be at the level of Death Knight Kun, right?”
-You don’t know that. There may also be wizard-type undead like lichs.
“rich? “That would be fine too.”
Baek Woo-jin entered the center of the first floor by walking on the red carpet leading from the entrance.
“Gigigeek!”
“Ugh…”
As soon as I passed the red carpeted entrance, skeletons and zombies rose from the floor.
“The welcome ceremony is shabby and banal.”
Baek Woo-jin smashed the skull in front of him with the sheath of the Dark Sword.
Let’s go!
The skull that was hit on the head by the sheath had all its bones shattered and turned into white powder.
-her?
“I didn’t put much effort into it?”
He simply swung the sheath without using any aura, but the skull was destroyed to the point where it could not be regenerated.
Sigh!
I lightly slashed my sword at the approaching zombie. Half of the zombie’s body disappeared as if it had been erased with an eraser.
-What kind of power….
“Is it because of the title?”
Baek Woo-jin snapped his fingers and smiled. Although it was an attack with no force, thanks to the title, it unleashed more destructive power than expected.
-After all, it is the title of the greatest fraud among frauds. Tsk.
“It’s my title, but I agree.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his hand and laughed.
A 60% increase in attack and defense power is beyond what can be described as simply amazing.
I was confident that if I had the title ‘Undead Slayer’, I could defeat any undead my opponent had.
Quaaaang!
Baek Woo-jin swept away dozens of undead with three swings of his sword.
Cheeeeeek!
The undead melted away and a blue stone appeared in their place.
“What is this?”
-It’s a mana stone! Why is this here?
The darkness was startled and flew next to Baek Woo-jin.
“Mana stone?”
-This is an ore that can be obtained on the continent I was on. It is a stone filled with mana, similar to the magic stones of your world. It is purer than most magic stones and contains a large amount of mana.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin held the mana stone and read the mana energy contained within it.
“It’s true. “Compared to its size, it has a large quantity and strong mana.”
As the darkness said, the mana stone was larger than a magic stone of the same size and was imbued with pure mana.
“It will sell expensively.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned and took the mana stone.
I thought that if I put the mana stones up for auction, I could get a higher price due to their scarcity.
“But isn’t this a place related to the continent you were on when the Mana Stone is found?”
-Maybe so, maybe not.
“Then we can investigate that too.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
If this place is related to the dimension of darkness, it may be able to unlock some secrets.
“First, let’s find a way to the second floor.”
Baek Woo-jin took all the mana stones and walked along the hallway.
“Grrrrrrrrr!”
“Ouch!”
While walking down the hallway, zombies and skeletons kept appearing. Baek Woo-jin swept away the undead like dust and found the stairs leading to the second floor.
“The road is not difficult.”
-Once you take care of the monsters, you will be able to arrive there on your own.
“What will be on the second floor?”
I went up to the second floor with anticipation.
That’s it.
The moment I climbed the stairs and stepped onto the second floor, the floor cracked and the undead arose.
“Gigigeek!”
“Kaaaaa….”
“Are they special ghouls and skeletons?”
The undead coming up from the second floor looked similar to zombies, but were much faster, and were ghouls with sea dogs and skeleton soldiers equipped with special weapons.
“Let’s clean up here quickly too.”
Although the undead were stronger than those on the first floor, there was not a single monster that could withstand the dark sword that was not even clad with aurors.
Baek Woo-jin arrived at the entrance to the third floor in less than 10 minutes.
“The energy on the third floor is stronger. “I guess the higher you go, the stronger the undead appear.”
-Instead, the number of monsters decreases. Compared to the first floor, the number of monsters on the second floor has decreased by about half.
“That’s less annoying. “I’ll speed up from now on.”
-It’s still pretty fast…
Baek Woo-jin shook his head and his eyes shined sharply.
“I’ll show you the speed worthy of the title of undead slayer.”
* * *
“This is crazy…”
Rich Pesce, in charge of general management of the Lion’s Castle, clinked his teeth together.
“Does this make sense?”
Fes was happy to see the first intruder in a long time, so he started observing him from the moment he entered the entrance.
Since the young human came alone, I was worried that he would soon die and be bored, but that wasn’t something I had to worry about settling down.
“Is that a human being?”
The young human easily destroyed the undead on the 3rd floor with a sword that was not even clad with Aura, and on the 4th floor, he tore apart Specters and Ghosts with only a level 3 Auror.
I couldn’t help but be horrified because even the named undead on the 5th floor couldn’t withstand the human sword and were all reduced to mush.
“It took less than an hour from this entrance to the sixth floor…” It
only took about 50 minutes for that crazy person to reach the sixth floor from the entrance.
Even when the true owner of this castle existed, no other race had reached the 6th floor with such speed and leisure.
Moreover, unlike the guys who came in party units, there was only one person. He is destroying this castle alone.
“That guy will even break through to the 6th floor.”
Fes was convinced that humans were hiding their skills.
I thought that if he showed his skills, he would be able to deal with the special undead on the 6th floor without difficulty.
Grumble!
Fes spread his robe and stood up. Black magic blazed in his grasp.
“It’s been a while since I took out the keel.”
