Episode 150
150. Episode 150
I finished clearing out the orcs.
It wasn’t that hard to clean up, since most of them were out of their minds due to the power of fear. It was just a little annoying.
As soon as I finished organizing, I used my power of gluttony for Beelzebub, who kept sending me messages.
– Designated the entire ‘Orc Tribe’ with the power of gluttony.
– The fangs of gluttony swarm the monsters!
Crunch, crunch!
Se-woon turned his back when he saw the molars of gluttony appear.
Since the Orcs were a race that specialized in strength itself rather than mana, technology, or intelligence, the nutrients they absorbed were also converted into strength or stamina.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get much mana either.
Unlike Seun, there was one person who was enthusiastic about it alone.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, nibbles on frozen meat, takes a bite of well-cooked meat, and gulps down the well-sliced raw meat.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, cheers, saying that no matter how much he eats, his food never runs out!
Beelzebub, the god of gluttony.
I guess black horses and orcs suit his taste.
Moreover, Seun had used various magics in this battle and had gone through what Beelzebub called ‘cooking’, so it was natural for him to react violently.
‘More than that, what will happen now?’
Now, if you return to the dwarves’ dwelling, the 13th floor trials will be over.
The swamp theme consisted of five layers in total, so there were still two more trials left.
However, as Seun remembers, the final ordeal in the original swamp was to break the formation opposite to the one he belonged to and kill the chieftain.
But what about now? On the 13th floor, both formations were destroyed beyond repair.
In addition, the scorpion and the demon’s head, which could be considered their hidden weapon, also disappeared.
Now that the goal of the trials has disappeared, it is difficult to predict what trials will appear next.
‘Surely it won’t pass right away?’
I was worried that maybe the tower would interfere and pass floors 14 and 15, sending me straight to the next theme.
There was no way that the tower would give out the rewards for passing the floors.
Even if he went through the layers like that without any meaning, Se-Woon would only end up suffering losses without finding the hidden piece.
Well, it wasn’t a problem that could be solved by worrying about it now.
‘First, let’s finish this ordeal.’
Se-Woon checked the clan chat as usual.
Gradually, most of the clan members chose their factions and began to use their abilities to help their factions.
[Hanareum: Ah, it’s much more comfortable to do it alone.]
[ Park Jeong-pil: What? Me too? ]
[ Baekhyun: I happened to come to the orc formation… … I want that monster called the Demon Beast. Can I not touch the monsters in our formation? ]
[ Yoo Seo Ah: … … Maybe it won’t work? ]
As soon as I saw the devil, I saw Baekhyun’s chat thinking about creating undead.
Somehow, I feel like the more I go, the more obsession I become.
If Baekhyun were to come across Song Jang-hwa, wouldn’t his eyes roll back? If you proceed according to the ordeal, you won’t encounter Song Jang-hwa, but if it were Baekhyun, wouldn’t he find Song Jang-hwa?
Besides, looking at the situation, it seems like they want to somehow turn the demon into undead.
I was worried that something would go wrong sooner or later.
[ Park Jeong-pil: Hehe, I’ve become a spy! I belong to the Lizardmen faction, but I’m getting information from the Orc faction! Wow, even I think it’s cool! ]
[Hanareum: If it’s the same field, it’s a total mess.]
[ Park Jeong-pil: What? This little kid? ]
[Hanareum: Merong.]
After joining the clan, there were quite a few messages being posted in the clan chat, as if there was more free time.
However, no matter how much I scrolled down, I couldn’t see Kang Han-cheol’s message.
Although he was not the type to talk much, he would occasionally answer questions or report his status.
‘Well, I guess it’s okay.’
If it had been someone else, I would have been worried, but my opponent was Kang Han-cheol. To be honest, it would have been quite a struggle for him, but I thought he might have a chance even if he fought 1:1 with Masu.
I watched the Diablo Clan overcome the ordeal without Seun’s help, and quickly ran towards the dwarves’ dwelling.
* * *
At that moment, there was one person who swung his fists in unison with the Orcs, a tribe that was extremely wary of outsiders, especially humans, even though they received help.
“Chwiik, that’s amazing!”
“Strong. I’ve never seen such a strong person before!”
– The constellation, ‘The Old Man Riding a Crocodile’, strokes his beard, saying that even though they are uncivilized, they seem to have a good eye for things.
It was Kang Han-cheol, the contractor of the second-ranking Demon King Agares.
He was attacking the lizardmen with the orcs, and their power was truly enormous.
– Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Open War’.
Kwaaaaang!!
The opening of a war with greater power than before.
As Kang-cheol’s fist sank into the ground, the swamp rumbled loudly and then exploded violently.
Dozens of lizardmen blocking the orcs at the front were killed in an instant.
In an attempt to block Kang-cheol’s attack, a particularly large lizardman bared its sharp claws and tried to block his path.
– Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Advance’.
Phew!
The moment it touched Kang-cheol’s fist, the lizardman’s body exploded like a bomb.
There was not a single enemy that could withstand that power.
Of course, the poison used by the Lizardman was an attack that even he could not do anything about… … .
“Let the embrace of the swamp surround you.”
Slurp-
Even among the Orc tribe, one of the less than ten shamans stayed close to Kang-cheol.
Whenever you are poisoned, recite a detoxification spell and increase your power through physical strengthening.
The arrogant orc shamans who would not even look at anyone except the chieftain or the great warrior were looking at Kang-cheol with eyes full of favor.
“What a surprisingly strong force. I can’t help but compare it to the Chieftain.”
“Sorcerer. No matter what, comparing me to the chieftain… … .”
“You don’t know what that looks like? Oh, here you come.”
“Joe, Chief! You’re here!”
As the battle quickly ended and they were resting thanks to Kang-cheol’s efforts, Berkal, the chieftain of the orcs, appeared from far away.
He was approaching me with his usual, overwhelming presence.
The destination is none other than Kang Han-cheol.
“You. Are you that person?”
“Yes.”
The snowball fight continued for a while.
No matter how strong they are, how dare humans look into the eyes of their own chieftain!
The atmosphere among the surrounding orcs became tense, but no one interfered. Interfering now would be tantamount to trampling on Berkal’s honor as a warrior.
About a minute like that.
While the staring contest continued without either of them blinking, they suddenly thrust their left feet forward and twitched the muscles in their entire bodies.
“… … !!”
Before the confused orcs, including the shaman, could stop him.
bang!!
Their fists clashed in the air.
A clash of strength and strength.
The tremendous impact caused air to burst out, sending a strong gust of wind blast around the area.
The swamp caved in, sending thick ripples around it.
The orcs struggled to keep their positions, unable to open their eyes due to the wind pressure.
And when they opened their eyes, what they saw was.
“As rumored. You’re strong.”
“You too.”
– Completed the hidden quest, ‘Recognition of the Black Swamp Tribe’.
– Additional points are awarded for the trial ‘Prepare for War’.
It was a scene of two men nodding their heads in recognition of each other while bumping fists.
* * *
“The benefactor has returned!”
“You came!”
“I’ve been waiting for you!”
“You came so quickly!”
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
As soon as he returned to his residence, dozens of dwarves greeted Seun.
It was already burdensome to be treated as a hero in Magu, but I couldn’t hide my awkwardness when dozens of people welcomed me with open arms.
Eventually, I followed the sled that was pulling my hand and made my way to their center.
“My friend Degu came back from his scouting mission and heard all the news! He said that the demons were killed without a trace! Oh, and the ferocious pigs too… … .”
“Lizardmen and Orcs. Both of them have been wiped out, so it won’t happen again.”
“Thank you. That would be… …the right decision.”
Magu seemed lost in thought for a moment.
As I said before, they were a clan that maintained the laws of the swamp.
There was nothing that could be done about the swamp beasts and demons, as they were beings that disrupted the natural order and led the swamp to destruction, but the lizardmen and orcs were different.
They crossed the line by bringing in the Song Jang-hwa and the Demon Slayer, but they were originally just monsters following the natural order.
It’s just that the numbers have grown too much, the conflict between the forces has intensified, and things have gotten this big.
“I did it all anyway. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“You are truly kind! Thank you!”
Magu’s expression brightened again.
But, there was one strange thing.
Not only did I defeat the demon that was the goal of the trial, I also reported to Magu, but no message appeared indicating that the trial was complete.
As he was wondering why, Magu gathered the other dwarves.
“I’ve prepared a reward as promised!”
“pay?”
“Humans love shiny treasures, but there’s nothing like that in our swamps… … .”
– The constellation ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ pricks its ears, then loses interest and turns its head away.
– Constellation, if the ‘Hungry Prince’ is not a treasure, I hope he is something to eat.
– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, wonders what the dwarves’ reward will be.
“Everyone, hurry up! Are you ready?”
“Okay! I’m ready!”
“Let’s get started!”
The dwarves gathered around the fountain in the center of the dwelling.
After treating the clan on the fountain, he placed the remaining transparent flower buds on top and began to circle around.
‘What are you doing?’
Are you trying to show off your dance moves for Se-un?
Since I didn’t know what kind of culture they had, I couldn’t judge right away.
It didn’t really matter if the reward was just a dance. I wasn’t expecting any reward anyway.
Just by finding the hidden trials through them, Seun obtained a much higher level of public service than other trials.
But after they had walked around the fountain about five times, something strange began to happen in the residence.
“That?”
The surrounding water rippled with the dwarves’ footsteps.
Clear water droplets formed and floated around them.
It was so transparent that if it weren’t for the light streaming in from the ceiling, you wouldn’t even notice it with your own eyes.
Even in those water drops, only the particularly clean and pure parts were filtered out.
The moment when purified water droplets gather in the center and touch the flower buds of the fountain.
Broadway!
The translucent flower buds have opened their petals.
There was something beautifully sparkling inside.
“Come this way!”
“That’s our reward!”
It was a sight that Se-un, who had been studying the tower’s vast knowledge, had never seen before.
At that beautiful sight, Se-Woon took a step forward without realizing it.
As I passed the dwarves who were making way for me and approached the fountain, a bright light began to be absorbed into Seun.
The dwarves’ blessings toward Seun followed immediately.
