144. Upheaval (1)
Light came on in the hallway.
The walls and floor were made of bluish stone. Other than that, there is only white light. Neither complicated traps nor vicious monsters appeared. It just resonated inside with every few steps I took.
‘I don’t have much time.’
thud!
Pieces of stone fell down.
The water dragon is destroying the temple.
If this continues, the temple will be submerged along with the key.
I sped up.
Iolka followed in time.
“Listen.”
I turned around and met Iolka’s gaze.
His complexion was hardened, but he seemed to be calming down somehow.
“It’s just the two of us here. When there’s a battle, I alone can’t fully protect you. You have to protect yourself. Can you?”
“Take care of my body, that’s it.”
“Use single-hit magic and use your strength as much as possible. If you feel dangerous, you can rely on me.”
“I will not. I can do my part.”
Iolka looked at me with determined eyes.
I was about to say something but shut my mouth. Eventually, I had no choice but to walk again.
‘Dungeon for 5 players.’
Originally, this was a place to enter after dealing with the water dragon and being fully prepared.
However, all plans were thwarted by a minor incident, and we were on the verge of annihilation. If Iolka and I failed, this was the end. I also used up the mermaid’s tears. There was no more free time.
thud!
A stone from the ceiling collapsed and blocked their way.
I lightly jumped over the stone and reached out to Iolka.
“thank you.”
Iolka took her hand and came over.
How many minutes had passed? The scene in the hallway that would never end changed at some point.
Tboob.
I came forward with my hand on the scabbard.
It was a wide circular cavity. A blue light hung over the entire space. Large stone pillars were erected at regular intervals.
“…Iolka.”
“There is.”
Iolka closed her mouth.
sereung. I drew my sword.
The shadows that had been flickering behind the pillars came out.
[Contaminated Merman Lv. 41] X 5
Five.
The eyes were degenerate and the color of the skin was dull.
About 3m tall. Compared to normal Merman, the ship was huge.
“Kurruk, gurruk…”
The Merman approached with a boiling sound.
With a rusty sword and spear in each hand.
“Did I tell you?”
“Focus on single hits, avoid it if it’s dangerous.”
I nodded.
He gave strength to the hand holding the sword.
“come!”
“Kiaaaaaagh!”
With a tearing scream, the Merman rushed at it.
Kang! Received a huge ax blade. Power enough to make your hands go numb. He gritted it and threw it away. I turned around. rotation cut. A heavy shock was transmitted to the whole body, and the upper body of the separated Merman flew in the sky. Black blood and intestines poured out.
[Draste Shiradus!]
Merman stepped on the floor and slipped.
Iolka’s magic continued.
【Fire up!】
Fire up!
The flames from Iolka’s body enveloped the fallen Merman.
Merman screamed and struggled.
“Always look around!”
I put strength on my toes.
Tung. It shot out quickly and swung the sword. The sword got stuck in the nape of Merman’s neck as he tried to stab Iolka with a spear. When I removed my hand, the severed neck slid diagonally.
The five mermen soon collapsed without a trace.
but.
“Kkeok, Kuek, Kkigigigg.”
[Contaminated Merman Lv. 42] X 5
They appeared again from the pillar side.
‘What’s the exit?’
The place we came in was closed as soon as we arrived here, and the entrance to the opposite wall was still closed.
‘Do I have to defeat them all?’
“Ki-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i!”
Merman let out a grotesque scream and swung the weapon in both hands.
Kang! He slipped the blade through the elbow pad of his left hand and then plunged his hand into his eye. When I pulled it out, the eyeball was pulled out along with the blood vessels.
“Keep it off!”
In an instant, he drew a dagger and plunged it into his eye.
I felt my brain churn. The guy collapsed helplessly.
“Ugh!”
[‘Iolka (★★★)’ is in a bleeding state. Physical strength decreases for a certain period of time.]
I looked to the side.
Iolka’s dress was torn and bleeding.
“are you okay!”
puck!
Iolka grabbed the hem of her dress and kicked the Merman in front.
The fireball floating behind him hit him directly in the face.
“If it’s dangerous, I’ll tell you right away!”
“I am!”
I brushed off my sword.
Black blood spurted out. Ten corpses on the floor.
The second wave has also been sorted out.
“Kkeok, Kkeok, Kkeuk…”
[Contaminated Merman Lv. 43] X 5
‘Is it the third time?’
It might have been better if there were traps or puzzles. Because you can break through with your head.
But pure combat power fighting. Bad luck worked here too. I gritted my teeth.
[‘Han (★★★)’ is in a bleeding state. HP decreases at regular intervals.]
When killing the last guy, a knife grazed his side.
I don’t have time to drink the potion. I roughly tied up my clothes and continued the battle.
[Contaminated Merman Lv. 43] X 8
A hole in the wall opened and they poured out one after another.
A corpse began to stumble at his feet. At the same time, the wounds on his body increased one by one. He had already consumed a lot of stamina in the underwater battle, and he couldn’t form a formation with two people.
[‘Iolka (★★★)’ goes into a state of runaway magic.]
“Iolka! Stick to the wall!”
[Contaminated Merman Lv. 43] X 13
Break!
Merman’s harpoon broke.
I pushed on with my hands strong. After the blade of the sword broke the harpoon bar, it cut the guy from his shoulder to his lower body. Kicked the corpse and backed off. to the wall.
[Contaminated Merman Lv. 43] X 21
‘Such an ignorant…!’
They were coming from all sides.
A pattern that is simply pushed by numbers.
[‘Iolka (★★★)’ has fallen into a dying state. 목숨이 위험합니다!]
“야, 이 개새끼야! 양심도 없냐!”
I cried out like vomiting.
Mermen caught in the trail of the sword were cut like straw.
Their blood, organs, flesh, and weapons tumbled all at once.
‘It was dangerous even with five people!’
[Contaminated Merman Lv. 43] X 23
I moved forward and removed the body.
wielded a weapon swung again
My vision darkened. After wiping the blood off his face, he swung his sword again. Until your eyes go dark.
And after a while
“…ha.”
I took a deep breath.
Close to a hundred Mermen in front.
All are corpses.
The black blood they shed formed a puddle.
When I wiped the blade with a cloth, the cloth became a rag in an instant. threw it away
‘Cure.’
I approached Iolka, who was leaning against the wall.
I pulled out the last potion I had. He opened the lid and brought it to Iolka’s mouth.
“drink.”
“That’s Okay.”
I forced Iolka’s mouth open and poured the potion into it.
More than half of the potion overflowed and landed on the collar.
She lifted the hem of Iolka’s clothes and searched her pockets.
It contains a health potion. I opened the cap and poured it into my mouth. This too spilled over.
“It’s too bad.”
“…”
“I don’t regret it. I said I was going.”
‘is it.’
dump.
I sat down on the floor.
“Was that helpful?”
“Thanks to.”
Half of the corpse is roasted to a golden brown.
When he used single hit magic, he inserted high-powered magic several times.
“thank god.”
Iolka laughed helplessly.
The fancy dress was covered in blood.
“I have a lot to say…but for some reason I’m speechless.”
“…What do you want to say?”
Iolka’s eyes darkened.
“Leave… words?”
“Tell me. I’ll remember it.”
Iolka’s voice was locked.
Crying. Blood leaked from his hardened lips.
“…”
“If you’re having a hard time, be quiet.”
I spoke.
“I’m sorry for harassing you.”
“…fool.”
[‘Iolka (★★★)’ returned to the arms of the goddess. Her fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
I closed Iolka’s eyes.
Her body, which had been leaning against the wall, stretched.
‘That’s stupid.’
Admit it.
I used to look at this world funny.
He has never failed and every attempt has been a success.
Because I know everything. I thought it would be okay if it leaked a little sideways.
‘Foolish.’
It’s not Iolka’s fault.
It was my fault.
I put Iolca instead of Katio.
The water dragon vomited fire. the boat on fire.
up to the current situation.
“…”
I hesitated and stood up.
It’s not over yet.
The door to the next passage was open.
I walked by dragging my feet.
‘…weapon summoning.’
Can not.
You need three chances to summon a weapon in a mission, but
you can’t summon because you’ve already used one chance.
I had to get through the current situation on my own.
Several opportunities that could have been undone passed before my eyes.
The sight was erased. Looking back here, there is no meaning to Iolka’s death.
A purple light flickered in front of my eyes.
Amkena is waving a light stick.
I guess so. That’s all you can do right now.
thud!
The ceiling shook again.
I made my way down the hallway. Same structure as last time. There is no difference.
If there’s one thing, it’s that someone next to you has disappeared.
‘Did you say breaking the limit?’
It’s the situation when you get berserk.
It ended up like this.
It was just like Jenna said.
It was the feeling at the time.
When you thought it was okay no matter what.
When you can’t think of anything other than killing the enemy in front of you.
A cold fire burned in my head.
[Skill Awakening!]
[‘Han (★★★)”s ‘Ferociousness’ has been upgraded by two levels! It has risen to Lv.10!]
[‘Han(★★★)”s ‘Ferociousness’ has reached its maximum level.]
If the conditions are met, there is no choice but to use it.
[Skill Awakening!]
[‘Han (★★★)”s ‘Peace’ has gone up three levels! It has risen to Lv.10!]
[‘Han(★★★)’s ‘calmness’ has reached its maximum level.]
I moved forward. Once again, the space was widened.
He has no personality to the point of being boring. It was a joint of the same shape.
“Kkeok, Kkeoruk, Kkeoruk…”
[Contaminated Merman Lv. 41] X 5
Mermen appeared from behind the pillar.
The guys blinked their eyes and screamed.
The exit closed again and I recalled the appearance of the temple I had seen outside the water.
‘There are several more cavities.’
If that’s the case, berserk yet…
‘No.’
Does not matter.
I decided not to do any calculations like that.
No matter what lies ahead, no matter how many enemies remain.
“Kiaaaaaagh!”
There was no hesitation.
[‘Han (★★★)’ has entered a berserk state!]
Cold fire spread throughout his body.
I gave strength to my hand. I turned the blade of my sword.
Enemy!
All three Mermen were cut to pieces at the same time.
The blade, which did not lose its strength even after cutting the meat, smashed the entire column.
‘next.’
[Contaminated Merman Lv. 42] X 5
Kwajik!
A sword was thrust down from above.
Merman raised his weapon to block it, but it turned into mashed meat as if it had been stuck in a press.
[Contaminated Merman Lv. 42] X 13
The cold fire that ran all over the body was gradually expanding its territory.
from under the skin to the muscle. from muscles to blood vessels. It filled his body and ran hotly.
[‘Han(★★★)”s ‘Ferociousness’ meets the evolution conditions!]
This isn’t enough.
If it evolves like this, it just becomes a simple high-level skill.
‘Give me more.’
The value doesn’t match.
[‘Han(★★★)”s ‘calmness’ meets the evolution condition!]
Their flesh was scattered all over the place like fruit thrown into a blender.
Movement beyond the limits of the body. The body screamed. Didn’t care.
‘Not enough yet.’
I’m left alone anyway
If you don’t gamble like this.
“Kwae, kwaeueeek!”
Merman’s corpse and stone pillar were mixed together and sliced away.
It doesn’t matter whether you draw a weapon, hide behind a pillar, or run away.
one at a time.
clap.
Bifrost responded.
The blade of the sword has been extended. bigger and wider. heavy and mighty.
I don’t care about the weight. Rather, the heavier the better. Because it can give you more power.
thud!
The sword stuck to the ground just by putting it down.
Over hundreds of kilos. I can’t help but lift it.
‘then.’
My muscles twitched.
The skeleton of the body was twisted.
The structure of the body began to change.
[Master ‘Han (★★★)”s soul is turbulent!]
‘You’re here.’
I laughed bitterly.
