Episode 481 Demon’s Land,
how far did you go down those underground (7) stairs?
It feels like I went down without a break for almost a day.
At that point, the goblins collapsed powerlessly.
“Ugh…”
The Goblin Queen’s expression darkened.
“Again…”
This is the third.
After approaching the fallen goblin and seeing its condition for a moment, Ray said with a serious face.
“It’s dehydration.”
While going downstairs, they didn’t even get a sip of water.
It was not unreasonable to get dehydrated as we were on the move for more than 20 hours.
They say that the baby goblins are small, so they carry them down, but since the adult goblins are bigger than most children, it was difficult to take them with them.
“Whoa… whoa…”
His breathing was rough.
I was so exhausted that sweat even formed on my forehead.
‘Moisture deficiency and electrolyte deficiency came at once.’
If left like this, he could have died.
I couldn’t figure out what to do, but the fallen goblin struggled to get up.
“Euuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
He took a hard step.
But the goblin was walking backwards, not forwards.
The dungeon does not tolerate stopping.
Going back was also unforgivable.
In an instant, a pointed spear rose from under his feet.
“no!”
Ray jumped, but it was too late.
Puppy-!
The goblin was pierced to death with a calm expression on his face.
The Goblin Queen quietly averted her eyes.
“…because he couldn’t bear being a burden.”
“Ah…”
The warmth of the goblin that was alive just before quickly cooled.
There was no time to express condolences.
Even now, time in the dungeon is passing.
If you hesitate like this, another victim will come out.
The Goblin Queen coolly turned her back.
“It’s just an empty death.”
It’s been two days since I went down the underground stairs.
The first victim came out.
* * *
The goblins died one by one.
At first one died, then three in succession.
Maybe it’s because I don’t want to leave it as a burden.
They all took a step back and ended their lives.
The sticky blood forms a puddle and soaks the stairs.
pop-. pop-.
Instead of them, only their blood accompanied them down the stairs.
one step.
two steps.
stop.
When one of the goblins stopped, Ray and the Goblin Queen looked at him familiarly.
Then the goblin struggled to close his eyes slightly.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”
Another goblin died.
One goblin per five steps.
The weight of life on the Goblin Queen only grew heavier with each death.
Was death too heavy?
Wouldn’t it be enough to die and be reborn?
My chest is stuffy.
Than the thirst of a roaring tongue as if a fire had been kindled.
Rather than a leg that is so hard that I wish I could have broken it like this.
The guilt and weight weighing down on her heart made her suffer even more.
More than half of the goblins were now dead.
Before they even set foot on the fifth floor of their dreams, they fell to a dog’s death on a pile of cold stones.
There was no hope in the eyes of the remaining goblins.
By the time more than an hour had passed.
No one was left behind the Goblin Queen and Ray.
Only the blood of dead goblins left marks on the soles of their feet.
“…ha.”
Before I knew it, the basement stairs became cold enough to exhale.
If it continues like this, it will surely freeze to death.
Rey approached the Goblin Queen, who looked back and felt remorse, and covered her with a leather blanket.
“It will be better if you wear it.”
Warmth touched my shoulder.
Blood clotted and numb feet trembled.
The Goblin Queen lacks stamina compared to other goblins.
He had no choice but to be physically inferior as he gave up his physical strength in exchange for growing his intelligence.
As I walk down the street, I stare at the stairs.
“You don’t even think strangely.”
“…I know.”
Perhaps because she was conscious of Ray, she looked away with difficulty.
She blamed herself in a hoarse voice.
“Because I said… I would move my place…”
If only I had thought about it a little more.
If only I had acted a little more carefully.
If only I had put down my arrogance a little more.
If that were the case, the current hellish situation would not have gotten better, albeit a little.
Guilt led to depression.
Depression brought about change again.
The queen, who had lost her people, clutched at the old corolla that she always wore on her head.
Passasak-.
The corolla was crumbled even with her feeble strength.
The symbol of authority is broken.
The loser from the 4th floor who led the goblins there no longer existed.
It was just a weak goblin walking helplessly.
* * *
When all the goblins died and only the two of them were left, the underground stairs began to change.
Koo Goo Goong -.
With a roaring sound, a weak light leaked out from below.
“That one…”
“It’s a door…”
As if everyone was waiting for death.
The door he had longed for appeared right in front of him.
The dungeon is ugly and brutal.
I don’t know what kind of harmony it is, but it must be clear that the reason why the door has not appeared in the meantime is because some condition has not been met.
“My heart is aching. Is this… sadness? Is this pain… or is it… is it simply that I am glad I came out?”
There was no expression, but tears welled up in the Goblin Queen’s eyes.
“Ugh…”
she sobbed.
I was happy.
Even though all the goblins who supported him died, every cell in his body rejoiced that he was alive.
The weight of life that had just been oppressing my heart became as light as a feather and flew away somewhere.
ugly too.
hideously.
cruelly.
fleetingly.
She was overjoyed that she was alive.
The head of the goblins, who treated life insignificantly, realized the value of life.
After crying like that for a long time, she stopped crying and slowly raised her head.
“…you won’t regret it anymore. No matter what choice I make in the future, I will never betray this experience you have taught me.”
For goblins, experience is like life.
The emotion of the name of experience, which the people gave their lives to tell, was passed on to the goblin queen.
Ray slowly opened the door.
Goooooooong-.
With a majestic sound like ringing a huge bell, the dark red earth appeared before my eyes.
In front of him was a huge mouse with glowing eyes and snorting snorts.
“Keeeeek!”
My body stiffens at the sound of crying.
Ray’s legs gave out.
After walking for a long time without resting, my body no longer had strength.
The goblin queen picked up stones from her surroundings with eyes full of poison.
“Aaaaaagh!”
With spirited spirits, he attacked the giant rat, but no matter who saw it, the victory or defeat was clear.
The goblin queen, who was hit by the tail and bounced off, vomited blood.
“Cuck!”
A handful of blood that had been vomited was black and dead.
It is a disprove that her body is not normal.
It’s been a long time since I’ve found a good food to eat.
The monster salivated ravenously at the goblin queen.
I don’t know if they are in normal physical condition, but they are not the opponent they will win.
No, if you look at the body that is over 4 meters, even if your body was normal, you wouldn’t have been able to win easily.
But the goblin queen did not give up.
The small hand holding the stone rushed at the mouse even though it had already exploded and turned into a rag.
Like a child playing with a toy, the monster took the Goblin Queen’s attack on purpose and drained her power.
“Huh… Huh…”
The goblin queen fought hard even though her nose was broken and blood was bursting and her legs were broken, making it difficult to move.
Ray, who had been watching him quietly, gave strength to his legs.
still shuddering
I didn’t have enough strength to move my body properly.
Fortunately, the hand moves better than the leg.
He took out the dagger stuck in his waist and immediately charged at the monster.
Weak mana flowed through his hand and into the sword.
The monster who looked down on his attack had a long cut on its chest.
“Kiaaaaagh!”
The monster struggled.
When it struck the ground with its large tail, it dug a hole in the floor.
Seeing that great power, I was convinced now.
‘This is absolutely not a monster on the 5th floor.’
No matter how great the difference in the number of floors was, this was not the case.
Monsters on the 5th floor are never like this.
purple.
The giant rat monster’s tail contained mana.
Like a sharpened blade, the monster’s tail cut through the rock like a piece of paper.
“Huh!”
Damn-!
Urgently flicking off the tail flying at her, Ray cradled the Goblin Queen and took refuge behind her.
Even if you say back, it’s only two or three steps out.
A distance that monsters could narrow without realizing it if they put their mind to it.
In addition, the blade of the dagger made from the horns of the spiritual creature was broken because he swung his sword hastily.
The goblin queen was swollen and gasping for breath.
Even at a glance, he is on the verge of dying.
However, as if only the senses remained, he still held onto the stone tightly and refused to let go.
It’s about fighting because life is precious.
Her thoughts reached her own.
That moment.
Ira’s voice seemed to reach my ears.
– Ray Mana is the heart. If you keep your mind calm, mana will become a lake, and if you take it harshly, it will become a sword. Such is the spirit of speech. So don’t be discouraged because you don’t have mana. Don’t you want to die soon?
my heart will soon
Recognizing that, it felt like the time around me was passing slowly.
I no longer feel any pain in my body.
As I gently gripped my hand, which had nothing to lift, a warm feeling was caught in my grasp.
As if holding the wind.
Ray lifted it above his head and slowly swung it around.
The monster’s forehead, which only looked huge, was slowly splitting.
I put only my heart on a sword that has no emotions.
Creates only form on a sword that does not contain mana.
It was a crude sword with only the shape of the sword in mind, but it was enough to end the monster’s breath.
Slow-!
when he fully swings his sword.
The monster’s body split in two.
