Episode 502 Stone statues being punished (5)
Unaware of the situation outside, Ray headed for the stone chamber accompanied by the goblins.
The Goblin Queen asked anxiously.
“Isn’t it too early yet…”
She sent a little concern to Ray, who announced that he would get rid of the poison.
Even for a goblin god, there are things that are generally possible and things that are impossible.
But the only answer came back, knocking on my chest and telling me to believe only in myself.
“There is nothing to worry about. Now, the end of hardship is the beginning of happiness.”
“A sudden move is not a good thing. If you are concerned about the lack of food, we will somehow…”
Before she finished speaking, the stone chamber appeared.
Because the door had been left open before, the miasma inside the stone chamber spread thickly through the corridor.
Because of that, the goblins’ faces turned black.
If you don’t deal with it quickly, you will surely get poisoned and suffer.
Ray quickly gathered mana and manifested magic.
“Drain.”
The miasma that spreads around him with the starter word naturally moves to him.
Although the goblins couldn’t feel the movement due to their low level of study of mana, they could notice that the surroundings were becoming more refreshing.
Blood slowly returned to the dead skin of the goblins.
As the purified air entered their lungs, the startled goblins muttered in an incoherent tone.
“Even poison…”
“Disappears…”
Even the goblin queen was already opening her mouth in admiration for his ability close to that of a god.
“How…?”
Ray completely absorbed the miasma that spread in the hallway.
Now, he had obtained mana that was so powerful that it could not even be compared to sword masters.
How strong was the venom, how could this amount of mana have accumulated?
The more I thought about it, the more I was dumbfounded, but my heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction from mana.
Ray waved his hand lightly.
Faaaaang-!
The air was blown out by the mana and completely pushed away the miasma gathered in one corner.
With this much power, the 17th floor shouldn’t be a problem.
After clearing the hallway, Ray slowly entered the stone chamber.
Ray’s expression frowned at the miasma that made his skin tingle.
“It’s worse than before.”
Is it because I left the door open?
Somehow, the poison felt stronger than before.
Unable to enter the stone chamber, the goblins who watched Ray from the outside spoke anxiously.
“Goblin god… come back if it’s dangerous.”
“As the Queen said, there is plenty of time.”
There is plenty of time on the subject of no food.
How can you not know that you are worrying about yourself and letting go of your life?
The goblin queen and knights are also restless, not daring to approach.
Ray deliberately moved closer to the statue to show them he was safe.
The robes of the holy kingdom.
In addition to that, Gaia’s unique sacred power felt insignificant.
All the characteristics of the stone statue were out of place here.
Why the hell did this stone statue exist in the dungeon?
He carefully placed his finger in the pond created under the statue of a young man.
As I
lightly dipped my index finger into the pond, an indescribable miasma raged.
In the past, it was poisonous enough that it would have been fatal.
However, it is different now that he has absorbed all the miasma that existed in the hallway.
It can resist even the source of poison, albeit slightly.
Ray cast a spell towards the pond.
“Drain.”
Whoa-!
As the mana that flowed out with the starter fish wrapped around the pond, miasma fiercely resisted it.
Kwaaaang-!
The poison of the pond splashes here and there with the explosion.
This is a natural reaction since the two strong energies met.
If it was a relationship between mana and mana, it wouldn’t have mattered, but the reason for such a reaction was simple if you think about it.
It must be proof that the Poison Pond is made of divine power, not mana.
Ray, who was drenched in the poison of the pond, focused his mind.
If the mana is disturbed even for a moment, the whole body will be ovulated by the intense divine power poison.
‘First of all, let’s focus on absorption.’
He put only enough mana for his body to last, and the remaining mana was absorbed by the pond.
But even so, Mana continued to toss and turn with the pond as if hitting a wall.
Although he is adding strength to his magic that absorbs miasma with mana, it is because he does not have enough mana to absorb all of the huge pond.
‘What kind of divine power do you have so many?’
No matter how mature you are, there’s no way you can put this much divine power into your body.
If it’s possible, it’s probably about Gaia’s hidden child.
In other words, this pond in front of me is not poison that humans can handle.
Seeing that it was made of divine power, I thought it might have been made by a saint somewhere, but I soon changed my mind.
This is definitely a place created by a goddess.
Besides, I don’t know why, but I made a poison pond to completely prevent other creatures from approaching the stone chamber.
What is the reason?
in the middle of thinking.
Absorption of mana has been accelerated.
It was probably because he had absorbed some of the miasma, so he had enough mana.
Whoa-!
Divine power and mana collided and emitted resonance.
Poison resisted as fiercely as before, but soon succumbed to Ray’s mana.
All the poison in the small pond turned into mana and was absorbed into him.
“Mmm.”
As the vast amount of mana raged in an instant, beads of sweat flowed from Ray’s face.
What was once a poison-filled pond is now simply a pit dug in the ground.
His empty mana rod was filled with powerful mana, and mana spewed out around him because he exceeded the limit he could contain.
In the aftermath, the goblins had to raise their mana against Ray’s mana.
Although it was not comparable to the previous power, it could be said that it had regained some power.
Ray’s closed eyes slowly opened.
The blue eyes are full of pure light.
My whole body was full of strength.
It felt like if I shook my hands, I could lightly crush a small mountain peak.
“Hehehe.”
Laughter came out of nowhere.
How long have you been living so far?
I noticed the mere monsters and made a living in a corner to avoid them.
He tried hard not to give up hope in a situation where he might not be able to reach the deepest part of the dungeon.
How hard has it been so far?
I didn’t want to suffer anymore.
Ray captured the mana that was exploding around him.
He spread the overflowing mana in his body widely around him.
Now that the poison problem has been solved, only the statue remains.
A stone statue that releases poison drop by drop from its mouth.
If you don’t break it down, the poison will probably continue to come out.
However, he was a little reluctant to break the lively stone statue that even felt divine power.
“Ugh. This can’t be helped.”
Even though I promised not to use it on life.
Ray put his hand on the forehead of the young stone statue.
The weak divine power from the stone statue seemed to pull her hand.
Feeling a strange sensation, I memorized the starting language.
“Drain.”
It was a short moment because he only absorbed the stone statue, but the result was unexpected even for Ray.
The statue melted away, revealing something within.
viscous liquid.
It is already extremely corrupt filth to be called a living life.
After completely absorbing the remaining poison and stone statue, only the filth was dumped on the floor of the stone chamber.
Then the smell of rotting corpses filled the stone chamber.
“This…”
It would be hard to see it as alive, but it must have been something that would have been alive in the past.
Could it be that this liquid melted because the young stone statue stayed with the poison for a long time?
It’s a story with plenty of potential.
A strangely lively stone statue.
If it turned a living person to stone, that would explain it.
Of course, it seems that there are perverts who preserve people by petrifying them in this way among black magicians, but this seemed different from that.
Ray also wouldn’t have been interested if the statues were in the shape of ordinary people.
However, the stone statues were clearly wearing the robes of the Holy Kingdom.
Moreover, the robes that only adults are allowed to wear.
Doesn’t that mean that if the stone statue was really human, then the statue of a young man hardened into stone was a saint in the past?
Ray was speechless.
why?
What does the goddess Gaia and the Holy Kingdom have to do with this dungeon?
After looking at the place where the stone statue had been for a while, Ray left the stone chamber with a confused mind.
* * *
The goblins assumed that Ray would surely die by the time he entered the stone chamber.
However, he even dipped his hand into the pond.
“The Lord is dying! Goblin God!”
“stop!”
The goblins dissuaded him, but he was absorbed in something he couldn’t hear.
The goblin queen turned her head away as if she couldn’t see her, and the goblin knights flinched as if they would run away at any moment.
The sight that followed was truly unbelievable.
The poison in the pond decreased little by little, and soon it was emptied to the point where the bottom was completely exposed.
In addition to that, the hair all over her body stood up from the intimidation she felt from Ray, who had absorbed the pond.
“Hehehe.”
he laughed.
In order to block the weak mana that spewed out from that laugh, they had to fight with all their might.
“The Goblin God…!”
I could feel mana flowing through his body.
I learned that tangible mana is a weapon by itself.
If so, what on earth should we think of mana that is so clear that it can be seen with the naked eye, swimming in the air?
They felt death in his petty laughter.
If he hadn’t properly raised mana and fought back, his entire body could have exploded.
The goblins instinctively realized that they couldn’t move.
He didn’t stop there, he laid his hand on the stone statue and absorbed it too.
From the goblins’ point of view, it would be more correct to say that the existing stone statue has disappeared.
It disappeared just by touching it.
It is impossible if it is not God.
The goblins’ eyes trembled.
However, it was not a trembling caused by fear.
excitement and joy.
They cheered as they raised their weapons, entangled with countless emotions.
“Keeeh!”
“Queueex!”
The strong survive.
That is why the weak follow the strong in order to survive.
Those survival instincts from the past became excited and delighted when they saw the strong.
The goblins had strong confidence in their survival.
Maybe, as Ray said, he might really be able to go out into the world.
It gave them hope.
