◈ 275. [Free Exploration] Wolf Den (2)
A few hours ago.
As soon as I entered the base camp, Belldandy came to me and told me everything that had happened yesterday.
“Last night the enemy corps commander came to see me.”
That Salome, the commander of the Nightmare Corps, came to see Belldandi.
And that he made an offer to Belldandi.
That offer is to save all of Belldandy’s comrades, so the human commander… … That is, they told me to pass it on.
First of all, I pretended to accept it and passed it on, but now I didn’t know what to do, so I came to tell me right away.
“… Right.”
While listening to Belldandi’s story in silence, I asked him.
“Then why are you telling me this?”
“yes?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to keep it a secret and just hand it over to me? Then save your comrades and… … .”
After hesitating for a while, he just said.
“As the dreamer said, I, the human commander who is also the enemy of the elves… … I could have removed it.”
“… .”
Belldandi, who had been silent with her mouth closed, slowly opened her mouth.
“Certainly on the ground we may be enemies. I came here to save my country from defeat in the war with humans. I would be lying if I said I had no resentment towards humans.”
“But why?”
“But Ash-sama.”
Belldandi looked at me with a faint smile.
“You are a good person.”
“… .”
“And you are a man of morality. In this hellish dungeon and on the frontlines to stop the monsters on the ground, you are a person who still harbors a humanity that should have been abandoned long ago.”
The only thing I gave this elf was a dagger.
A few handfuls of sunflower seeds. And it was just an empty promise to save his comrades.
“You can go far. I can tell.”
Belldandi already trusted me.
Maybe it’s because of the harsh environment of the dungeon under this lake.
Or maybe it’s because the elf really likes people. I couldn’t find out.
“It would be foolish to throw away greater possibilities, blinded by past resentments. A prince must see farther than that.”
“… .”
“I have to find the Holy Grail here in the dungeon. And ultimately, I must save my people on earth and reclaim my country.”
Belldandy slowly bowed his head to me.
“Ash-sama in all the roads ahead. I had a hunch that you would be needed.”
“… .”
“I will never cheat or betray you. I want to walk by your side.”
“What if, in the worst case, you lose all your comrades?”
“There is one reason why my colleagues and I have survived over 100 years here in Hell without going crazy.”
Belldandy sighed softly.
“Let’s not lose our humanity. Let’s not be monsters. Let’s not forget morality. That’s what I promised and promised.”
“… .”
“I’d rather die as a warrior gladly than live by betraying my benefactor. My colleagues will think so too.”
I slowly looked into Belldandy’s eyes, and slowly opened my mouth.
“I have a way. Get your comrades easily and… … A way to deal with the enemy commander at once.”
Belldandy’s eyes widened.
“What is that method?”
“We are going to do as the succubus queen suggested. Hand me over and get your comrades back.”
“yes?! But then, Ash-sama was seduced by the dreamer… … .”
“You do not have to worry.”
I put a rotten cow in the corner of my mouth.
“I have a trump number.”
***
Current.
Succubus Queen Salome’s room.
Pooh-!
Salome, who was hit in the chin by my right straight, rolled backwards.
‘Um, clean hit! It went in properly!’
Although I had never studied proper fighting, I was the one who went to and fro the battlefield wearing [Lucky Strike], even for a short time.
The level of sense for fighting has been awakened.
The fist went in so neatly that there was nothing wrong with it! oh so refreshing
《Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?》] Of
Salome of tears welling up as she clenched onto the floor unsightly and clenched her red-hot chin.
《Eh? Ehehe? what? what? what is this… … ?》
“You’re slow to understand the situation, dreamer.”
I strode towards Salome.
“Today is your memorial day.”
I don’t know if I have any family to prepare for the ancestral rite!
“Hey hey?! Don’t come close-!]
Salome stretched out her hand again, her red eyes flashing.
“Come on, go to sleep!” Very good-!]
Hwaaaah-!
A pink air current swept through my body again.
“… .”
But I calmly dug my ears and kept moving forward.
It feels like being hit by a gust of wind mixed with the terrible scent of flowers. I want to wear a mask if I have one, but I can survive without it.
《How?! How can you not be controlled by my mind?!”
Salome screamed, hurriedly throwing herself behind her back.
《My hypnosis is powerful enough to bet on all beings under this lake, except for King Wangjung. … How are you?!”
“Sorry. Because it is a trade secret.”
Talking calmly, he took a step closer to Salome.
Salome’s face turned white and she was leaning back against the back of the gooseneck and her back touched the wall. Hey! It spat out the same strange sound.
I kept a grin on my face. How did you resist your mind control skills?
The answer is simple.
Thanks to my passive skill [Indomitable Commander].
[Indomitable Commander Lv.3]
– A skill created by a noble spirit that never gives up under any circumstances.
– Provides mental state immunity to all allies within a 20m radius.
‘Immune’ to mental abnormalities. don’t get hit at all
It’s been that way since I first got this passive. It’s called cheating skill.
But in the beginning, it’s almost useless because I never put any mental abnormalities on it. But from the middle, it’s useful.
It has become literal.
As long as I have this passive skill, I become a hard counter that can chew all enemies that attack me with spirit attacks.
And the dream demon corps. In particular, the upper entities of the dream demon corps, succubus and incubus.
The only means of attack he had was to inflict mental abnormalities.
They are very stupid bastards who take our heroes and induce team kills with mind control and hypnosis instead of poor fighting ability.
That’s why out of my 742 games, 200 of them exploded when I met them. It could be the biggest challenge in the middle.
but? oh my gosh! EX grade Oh my God!
The first passive skill I received was this type of open fire.
‘Although it’s quite late to show its usefulness after coming to Stage 11.’
Still, thank you, director son! For giving me this cheat skill!
“Well then… .”
Now, in front of the trembling Salome, with nowhere to retreat, I rolled up my arms in earnest.
“Shall we have an exciting true education time together?”
Then Salome covered herself with both arms and shouted.
《Are you going to hit me?!》
“Uh. I will hit you.”
“No, come to think of it, I already hit you! Me, who has never been hit by my dad!”
“Don’t say lines that only appear in romance comics when you are 8 years old. Because it will sell more anyway.”
The main body of the dream horse is at the level of a sheet of paper.
It was at a level where even my weak physical strength could beat it enough to end it.
I’m going to take a look at this kind of information. What a rewarding time.
“Hey wait a minute! Look at this first!] As
I raised my fist, Salome stretched out her hand to stop me, then
yank!
Suddenly, the shoulder part of the old monk’s robe he was wearing was pulled down, exposing a little of the flesh on his shoulder.
Then,
`
` Woo Woo ~! ”
“… ?”
《Ooh woo woo woo… … .”
For some reason, Salome repeated the action with her face reddening. Making strange noises with stiff movements… … .
I didn’t understand the situation, so I stayed in a daze and asked.
“… What are you doing?”
《You are tempted.》
“Temptation?”
“Yes that… Temptation.”
“… .”
《… Woohoo~?]
After a moment of silence.
I reached out with both hands filled with anger and grabbed Salome by the collar. I involuntarily shouted to the frightened Salome.
“Stop talking nonsense! Still, you are a succubus! No matter where you look at it, it’s tempting!”
《Hey hey hey?!》
“This is an insult to the succubus, you son of a bitch! If you’re going to do it, do it right!”
When you say succubus, you have a fantasy, a fantasy! Everything looks smashed up, yumma!
“That’s it! You must have ever seduced someone with your own body!”
“Huh?”
“If you fall into a dream, it will fall on its own! So, who will resist mind control?!”
“… .”
“I’ll give you a nice dream! I’ll let you have a good time with your ideal partner! Believe me! Are you all very happy? So, please give me mental control just once, huh?]
My ideal partner?
Then suddenly, Serenade’s face flashed in my mind… … .
‘omg.’
oh no This is Ashnom’s first love, so it just came to mind first.
Don’t get caught up in the devil’s wicked tricks. Big hum.
As if she had noticed that I was shaking for a moment, the excited Salome kept shouting.
“Is it just a dirty dream? I’ll make you a bunch of other things too! The ideal you wanted to achieve! The person I wanted to meet! From the endlessly piled mountains and seas to the unreachable wishes! All! I can do it!”
“… .”
wish?
A wish that could not be reached… … .
– brother!
Suddenly, a letter appeared in front of my eyes.
That short chat I will never forget.
– You have a wish you want to come true. Yes? A more precious wish, not something like money.
– I will grant you that dream.
– As long as you still have it in your heart, that dream has not failed.
I also remembered the promise I made with the self-proclaimed director guy.
yes wish
I am here to achieve it.
《Anything is possible with me! Seriously, I’m the succubus queen! Out of all the dream demons in the world, one output is the strongest? I don’t know what principle you used to block my mental control, but if you lower the wall in your heart for a moment, I… … .》
“Shut up the monster.”
I cut off Salome with a savage growl.
“Do you think I came here just to get self-satisfaction through a dream?”
《What what?》
“I came to win.”
The hand that gripped Salome’s collar grew stronger.
“I’m here to fight for my life and get my wish.”
Salome’s red eyes looked up at me and blinked blankly.
“I don’t care what you can give me, sweet daydreams or terrible nightmares.”
I clenched my fists again and lifted them up.
“I make my wish come true with my efforts in my reality.”
Defend people and kill monsters.
There was no room for a midday dream to intervene in this strategy route to clear.
“Dream as much as you like. monster.”
《… .”
Salome looked at my face as if possessed, and slowly uttered something.
“ash. you really… … .]
Not listening, I slammed my fist down.
I was thinking of putting my stamina in a dying state and interrogating this monster to get information.
Then-
Taat!
Suddenly someone intervened and blocked my fist.
