Chapter 252
Bittern, who temporarily served as the leader of the alliance, swallowed dryly as he watched Raon’s back as he approached the dungeon entrance.
‘What, what are you doing?’
How to break the barrier with one sword… .
As soon as I saw his youthful face, I started talking to him because I thought I could take advantage of him, but I didn’t expect him to show such monstrous power.
‘It’s not simply strong.’
In order to break the barrier by force, you must be at least master level. It was clear that he had read the flow of the barrier, seeing that he had cut through the barrier with his sword skill, not with his strong sword.
‘The sword skill that has reached completion, even the eyes that read the barrier… .’
That’s just a monster.
I saw it completely wrong. The smile he showed at the beginning was not one of immaturity, but one of composure and confidence.
“Bytern!”
“Uh, what should I do?”
“You go in that way.”
“Are you just going to send it?”
The guild colleagues who had been together since the beginning approached. Everyone was embarrassed and their complexion was pale.
“You fools. Rather, it worked out.”
Bittern laughed coldly at Raon looking at the entrance.
“ok?”
“Well, is it good?”
“Everyone was scared, but what… .”
The guild members frowned as if asking what they were saying.
“Anyway, there are the Six Emperors and other large-scale forces there. Even a guy like that has no choice but to go carefully.”
“Ah, then… .”
“okay. I will keep a reasonable distance and follow you.”
Bytern nodded slowly.
“Wait for that guy to clear the dungeon of danger, and if you follow him safely, you should be able to pick up and eat one bean curd.”
rather it went well If you chase after that young guy, you will have a better human shield than the alliance members. Even if you don’t get much, at least you won’t die.
“Prepare. Run as soon as that guy enters the dungeon. Because we have to arrive before the barrier disappears.”
“okay.”
“yes!”
After giving instructions to the allied members, Bytern lowered his stance. As soon as Raon entered the dungeon, he lowered his hand.
“run!”
At the same time, all the members of the alliance started running into the dungeon.
‘The barrier doesn’t disappear.’
Bytern grinned. It must have been cut really well, but the barrier was still cracked.
“Enter like this… uh?”
He stopped, gaping his mouth.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
The entrance to the dungeon shook like an earthquake and then began to burrow into the ground.
“This, what crazy!”
“He broke the entrance!”
“Pah, pah! If it’s not now, it’s buried and I can’t go in!”
Vytern started digging with his hands in a hurry, but he couldn’t do anything because rocks and sand kept pouring from the canyon.
Whoops!
The barriers that had been split due to being in the middle of the mountain also returned, and a terrible mist began to bloom.
“You madman!”
Bittern screamed at Raon, who had completely destroyed the entrance.
* * *
“Ugh!”
Dorian’s eyes trembled as he saw the collapsing entrance.
“Hey, is this really true? What if I can’t go out later?”
“are you okay.”
Raon firmly blocked the entrance and grinned.
“Ooh, I laughed! They broke down the entrance and laughed!”
Dorian’s shoulders trembled as if that was even more frightening.
“This is right. It’s dangerous to hit from behind.”
When exploring a mage’s dungeon, it’s not just magic traps, organs, and barriers that are dangerous. Other competitors who may attack from behind at any time are just as dangerous as traps.
Those who were behind didn’t pose a big threat, but they blocked the entrance in case other strong people could come.
“No, the enemies can’t come, but we can’t get out either! Even if you say you saved the artifact, it’s meaningless if you die here!”
“There is not one entrance to the wizard dungeon.”
“yes?”
“Think about it, will you continue to live here as a wizard? Shouldn’t we go out and eat out sometimes and buy some magic ingredients?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Dorian nodded with blank eyes.
“Then, will the mages pass this road every time they have set up traps and barriers?”
“uh… .”
“no. Most of them make passages that only they can use at the bottom of the dungeon. You can go out there.”
There was not a single place that didn’t have a secret passage among the mage dungeons he had visited so far. You will be able to get out much more comfortably than when you entered.
“No, if not!”
“Then we should break through here.”
“It happened like that, but how did you break it… .”
“You have a shovel.”
Raon pointed to Dorian’s stomach pouch.
“There is.”
“Do you have a pickaxe?”
“There is that too. There is also a mana stone excavator and a wheelbarrow… .”
Dorian pulled out a wheelbarrow and something like a spiral slotted spear.
“Is there anything like that?”
I knew there would be a shovel, but I didn’t know that I would carry a mana stone excavator.
“Because it is necessary.”
“That’s all right. You can dig it up.”
“Ah, yes.”
Dorian nodded coldly.
“It’s nothing.”
When he thought about it, he laughed if it was nothing. He is also a simple and comfortable guy.
“Now you just have to be careful.”
Raon glanced behind him and put the Jecheon Sword into the scabbard.
“I can’t give mine to anyone.”
I wouldn’t know if it hadn’t come at all. You can’t come this far and be fooled. Whatever is below, and whoever is, I will take the artifacts that will help Rimer and go out.
“Bur, it’s already mine… .”
He stuck out his tongue as if he was fed up with Dorian.
“let’s go.”
Raon led the way down the cave. There was only one road, and there were no traps or barriers, so he was able to move quickly.
‘It’s getting cold.’
As soon as they entered the dungeon, the temperature dropped rapidly. Like a mage famous for her water attribute, it seemed to lower the temperature throughout the dungeon.
“hmm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he placed a piece of frost floating in the air on his hand.
‘But this cold… .’
Why does it feel familiar?
The stronger the cold, the more familiar it feels. It’s different from Glacia, but it feels similar. It feels like meeting someone from home in a remote place.
– Uhm… .
Lars also narrowed his eyes to see what he was worried about while watching the chill.
‘Ras. Do you have this cold… .’
“Ouch! It’s nasty cold! It makes my bones ache!”
When I was about to ask Lars, Dorian screamed. He trembled with her hands as if he couldn’t stand it, and pulled a fur made of ice troll skin from her belly pocket and put it on.
“Do you want to give it to Vice Lord?”
“are you okay.”
Raon shook his head.
‘Because it has no meaning to me.’
This level of coldness had no effect on herself, who had a water resistance of 6.
‘Rather, it went well.’
Those who entered first would have a hard time enduring this much cold, so it was an advantageous situation for them.
Whoa!
The coldness got worse as we went downstairs. Breath came out, and frost began to settle on my head.
“Hey, there’s a hole over there!”
Dorian stamped her feet and pointed to the oval opening at the end of the passage.
“I’ll go in first.”
Raon checked the signs and looked inside the entrance. It was a very large cavity, and the cold intensified. It was as if a 4-circle magic ice field was spread all over the place.
Whoops!
When I tried to go inside, the soul sword at my waist spilled a low blade.
There is only one reason why the soul sword cries on its own.
It means there are white blooded Christians.
‘It must have been the White Blood Church.’
People outside said that Oma had come, so I asked who it was, but it seemed to be the White Blood Church.
‘Well, they must be the fastest.’
The Baekhyeok religion has taken root throughout the continent. There would be no place without a branch, so if there was information, it would have moved faster than anyone else.
“There is the White Blood Church. Come in carefully.”
“Eh?”
Dorian showed a frightened look with his mouth shut.
Raon cautiously went inside. The feet were full of corpses, but from the patterns, it seemed that they were small and medium-sized organizations in the vicinity.
It wasn’t just the sword wound, but there were teeth marks here and there as if it had been inflicted by a beast.
‘He also ate the flesh.’
Judging by his appearance, he seemed to have been drunk from a gluttony in this cold place. He was like a blood demon who abandoned his humanity and became intoxicated with power.
Whoops!
The requiem sword also felt it and rang a more violent sword than before.
‘Good.’
Kill two birds with one stone
It was an opportunity to deal with the vampires who were not worthy of living because taking the relics was not enough.
Raon, pretending not to know anything, reduced his momentum and headed towards the center of the joint.
“Are you a new guest?”
“two? That’s too little.”
“I know. I should have stayed outside.”
“I won’t even get full.”
Twenty white-blooded cultists scattered throughout the cavity approached, trampling on the frozen blood. The teeth and lips were smeared with human flesh and blood, and the blades were shiny red.
“I like the one on the left. Originally, good-looking guys have soft flesh.”
“I am right. He has plenty of flesh, so there must be a lot to chew on.”
All five of the white-blooded members had a line drawn on their robes. They were priests, not ordinary teachers.
“Close your mouth and kill me. They should not be disturbed in the slightest.”
The white blooded priest in the middle comes forward. Looking at the two lines on the robe, it was the bishop in charge of this place.
Raon licked his lips while holding the sword bottle of the Requiem Sword.
‘Good.’
There was something I wanted to try.
I wondered what would happen if I used Cheongwoo out of resentment against the White Blood Church that dwells in the Requiem Sword. There are some guys who are cheap even if they die in front of them, so I decided to try them out right away.
Tuoong!
At the gesture of the bishop, all the white blood Christians exploded and rushed.
Chiyiying!
When the bloody smell from the white blooded cultists brushed the tip of her nose, she raised Glacia and pulled out the requiem sword.
Chongwu’s courteous hand brushed the blade stained with magic, and an eerie light flickered.
Raon Sieghart’s type of swordsmanship.
Type 4 `stool hemorrhage.
The red blade of the sword burned even more reddeningly and let out a devil’s cry. A grotesque melody cut through the air and tore apart the belongings of the white blooded believers.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
“Keuouk!”
“Cheuk!”
The white blooded people who heard that bizarre sound were eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. He fell to his knees, coughing up blood in the chil-gong. He screamed in pain and rubbed his body against the floor until his breath stopped.
Woo woo woo!
The requiem sword stopped crying only after absorbing the blood vomited out by the white blood cultists with the blade.
“You’re crazy.”
When Raon saw the reddened soul sword, he sighed. Although it is limited to the White Blood Church, its destructive power itself is different from that of Cheongwoo. With this much power, it seemed like it could kill even an archbishop.
‘There… .’
It’s a bit cruel, but the Requiem Sword was content to kill white blood believers by inflicting severe pain instead of just killing them.
“Are you okay?”
Raon turned to look at Dorian. He had such a brutal tone that he was a little worried.
“Ah, it’s okay. however… .”
“hmm?”
“It sounded very sad. I can’t express it exactly, but it feels like my heart is breaking out?”
Tears welled up in Dorian’s eyes.
‘I guess so.’
Raon nodded. The requiem sword is a sword made to commemorate the souls of those who were killed by the White Blood Church. Before revenge, the sadness of losing a family member must be great, and it seemed that those emotions were contained in the sword.
‘It could end someday.’
I made another promise to the soul sword and put it in the sheath.
“let’s go.”
Raon went out into the passage guarded by the White Bloods. the temperature goes down He felt colder than when he was in the lower castle, and even his breath seemed to freeze.
“Ugh! It feels like my five organs are frozen!”
Dorian muttered that he was going crazy and took out a fur hat, fur shoes, and even a magic pack with heat. The time to take it out of the belly pocket and replace it was lightning fast.
“uh? What is this flower?”
He narrowed his eyes at the ice flowers scattered here and there in the aisle. It was an ice flower similar to but different from the flower on the bracelet. Moreover, not only that, but also the walls were bluish cold.
‘This cold… It’s nothing out of the ordinary.’
it was a barrier
The cold that spreads from ice flowers, walls, and floors doesn’t just lower the temperature. It was a viscous cold air that entered the body through the nose and mouth and froze the respiratory tract.
If you foolishly hold on, saying it’s just cold, you’ll die of respiratory failure before long. In fact, in every corner of the aisle, there were corpses whose whole bodies were frozen in the cold.
Whoaaaaa!
Raon raised the cartoonist and melted all the coldness towards himself and Dorian. Even if the aura was consumed, it was better to move like this now.
“Go, thank you! It feels like I just ate a bowl of stew.”
“I need to protect my pockets.”
“yes?”
“no.”
I smiled lightly and headed forward. A soft light was emanating from the end of the aisle.
“Here… .”
When I went inside, I saw a beautiful lake that glowed blue.
“lake? Are you going to cross the road?”
Dorian surveyed the end of the lake and smiled lightly.
“Will this be easy? The distance is also close… .”
“It’s not like that.”
Raon frowned and grabbed the sword bottle.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
At that moment, the lake rippled like waves and gathered in the center of the room.
The condensed waterway gushes out like a fountain and is shaped into a gigantic human form. A giant ice golem with a size of 5m and various ice flowers engraved on its body emitted red eyes.
“Oops!”
Dorian stepped back, gaping, fingers quivering.
“Go, Golem! Ice Golem!”
“He’s a pretty picky guy, too.”
It’s not just an ice golem. Since it can freely switch between liquid and solid, it regenerates quickly, so in order to defeat it, the whole body had to be melted or its core destroyed.
‘Well done.’
The flow of mana is constant.
Even with the comic book, I couldn’t feel the core inside the golem. Seeing that it was invisible even after using the magic eye of rage, it seemed that it was hidden by making it like other ice grains.
‘just in case.’
There was no time to find the nucleus due to the time difference with the leader, but I remembered the feeling that the coldness here was familiar and operated Glacia.
Gooooo!
As soon as I swept the golem with high-purity cold air, I felt a semi-circular piece of cold air on the inside of my right shoulder with a very fine difference compared to other parts.
‘Is that nuclear?’
Looking at it again, a slightly different flow was blooming from the right shoulder than the other parts.
‘Let’s try it.’
Raon pulled out the Celestial Sword and ran forward.
Koo Goo Goo!
The golem reacted immediately, striking a fist the size of a human torso like a thunderbolt. Because it was in liquid form, the movement itself was smooth and fast.
Tuong!
The moment the golem’s fist fell, it kicked off the ground and drove the blade toward the semicircle piece that Glacia had been looking for.
Fall out!
With the sound of glass breaking, the golem stopped moving.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
The whole body of the golem trembled, and then, like a sandcastle swept away by waves, a blue liquid poured down onto the floor.
“uh? uh huh?”
Dorian opened his mouth wide as he looked at the Celestial Sword.
“Bar, wasn’t it just a stab? Can a golem be broken with one stab?”
“I broke the core.”
“You found the nucleus at once? No, what kind of wizard are you?”
“I was lucky.”
Raon brushed off the ice fragments stuck in the Jecheon Sword and licked his lips.
‘It’s strange.’
No matter how pure Glacia had the cold aura, finding the location of the golem’s core was a special task.
‘Aren’t you used to the cold here?’
Raon called the las on his forearm.
-Turn it off… .
Lars made a sound of pain without answering.
‘Ras?’
– Because I have to think. Be quiet.
The guy waved his hand and glared at the flower pattern engraved on the golem’s body.
‘Because it’s unique.’
Raon laughed and opened the door guarded by the golem and went inside.
After passing through a short, dark passageway, three black caves appeared with no view of the inside.
“Where are you going?”
Dorian looked at the three caves in turn and muttered that they were all the same size and shape.
oh oh oh!
I tried to open my senses and look inside, but it cut off after a while. The cold inside was impeding the movement of the senses.
Raon knelt down and examined the traces on the floor. Following human instinct, most people went to the right or center, but not a few people went to the left.
‘Where should I go?’
I don’t have time.
Even if you have saved time so far, you are quite different from those who came before you. If you made the wrong choice here, there was a high possibility that you would fall behind.
‘just in case.’
I raised my cool thinking that Glacia might be helpful this time as well.
Whoops!
Using high-purity cold air, I checked the right cave, the center, and the left. Unlike the days of comics, the feeling of energy continued inward.
‘As expected, Glacia is more helpful… hmm?’
When I was inspecting the last cave on the left, I felt a tiny gap in the left wall. The hole was so small that even a thin thread could not pass through it.
‘I can’t believe this hole… .’
Raon inserted Glacia’s cold air into the gap.
Intercepting device!
The darkness split with the sound of cracking rocks, and a passage wide enough for one person to pass opened.
It seemed that a secret barrier had been set up inside this place as well.
‘Did they incorporate subtle mana control into their psychology?’
Lohengrin’s mana management was different from the dungeons of other mages he had entered so far. She was so natural that even she was hard to find.
‘That’s why it hasn’t been revealed.’
The left cave with the fewest people in it. And since the secret passage was installed in the form of a barrier on the inner wall, it was only natural that others could not find it.
‘I’d better keep Glacia on.’
The coldness of this cave and Glacia were not feelings, but there were many similarities. If I continued to use Glacia, I thought I would be able to move faster and more comfortably.
“Hey, how did you find this again?”
Dorian’s chin trembled with a look in his eyes as if he was wondering what kind of person he is now.
“Did the young master make this?”
He seemed really embarrassed when he called me Bocchan like in the past.
“It’s a coincidence. let’s go.”
[You noticed this place?]
As I smiled and tried to go inside, I heard a voice mixed with admiration behind me.
‘uh… ?’
Did I miss the mark?
Grabbing the swordsman, he quickly turned around. An old man in a blue robe with a long beard seemed to float on the floor. His legs were not visible, and his entire body was transparent, showing his back. It literally looked like a ghost.
“What are you… .”
[Eh? Do you see me?]
An old man approaches with his mouth wide open. There was no sign at all, just a cool energy.
[oh! God of Wrath! at las!]
He hopped and cheered like a child. He was so happy that even though he was transparent, his face seemed to be turning red.
“What are you doing?”
Dorian tilted his head, as if he couldn’t see the old man.
‘What a ghost… for a moment.’
There is only one ghost in here.
Lohengrin.
Looking at the round glasses, the blue robe with flowers engraved on it, and the narrow eyes, he looked just like Lohengrin’s appearance written in the book, although he was older.
“Is the old man Lohengrin?”
[Yes! I am Lohengrin!]
He was delighted and nodded his head broadly.
“But why are you here… .”
– Ha, okay.
As he was about to ask a question, Lars looked at Lohengrin and let out a deep sigh.
‘You know what?’
-Now I know why the coldness of this place is familiar, and why the name is familiar.
Lars raised a finger and pointed at Lohengrin.
-That bastard’s real name is Roen Yellow. He is a servant whom the king lent his strength to.
“ah!”
At those words, Raon’s eyes widened to the point of tearing.
‘That’s why I’m used to the cold.’
The reason why the coldness here was familiar, the reason why Glacia was able to smash the golem’s core and find the passage seemed to be because Lohengrin inherited the coldness of Lars.
‘then… .’
Raon licked his lips at Lohengrin.
new hedgehog?
