Chapter 152 – Twisted Fate (1)
Demugade Dungeon located in Gangneung.
Demugade Dungeon was generated near the beach in a deserted village.
Long stretches of pure white sand and crashing waves.
Woo woo woo.
There, alone, a gate swayed.
It was a dungeon where a 10-star monster, Demugade, appeared, as well as a dungeon where Onomatopoeia was currently imprisoned.
“Let’s go.”
Seo-joon was the first to lead and moved toward the gate.
Seo-jun was followed by the sword star,
Calia hesitated and followed behind the Sword Saint again.
Spirituality was not together.
Although there were team members and Jung Ji-min, there were always things you didn’t know about.
So Seo Jun, Geomseong, and Calia.
This bizarre combination was able to be completed.
The hero of cataclysm, the swordsman.
Calia, successor to the Apostle of Purity.
And Seo-joon, the master of the dream team, which is currently impossible to estimate.
The three of them trudged along without speaking.
In front of the gate that arrived like that.
Seo-joon stopped walking for a moment and said to Calia, who followed.
“You go in first.”
Calia’s expression distorted at Seo-jun’s words.
And willingly, he didn’t move.
That would be the case, and once you cross that gate, you become disconnected from reality.
whoever gets hurt
whoever dies
I had no idea what was going on beyond that gate.
It can be said that only the person who entered the gate can know exactly.
Therefore, no matter what accident happened in the dungeon, it was enough for the surviving parties to kiss each other.
who died in an accident.
Did you get killed by a monster?
Whether he was killed or not.
Those facts were enough for the surviving parties to fabricate and testify.
If there were no surviving parties, it would only fall into the labyrinth forever.
Any accident can happen in a dungeon.
Isn’t this a tactic that Jinrihoe has often used?
But now it seems to be returned to you as it is.
Calia couldn’t even figure out what to do with this ironic situation.
Calia turned her gaze for a moment and looked at the people who would become the ‘parties’.
Seojun and Geomseong.
To be honest, Calia didn’t have the confidence to beat those two.
It was difficult with just one sword star.
However, Calia could not handle the power that Seo Jun added.
No, to be honest, I didn’t know what I could do if there were only two Sword Saints.
Calia glanced at Seo-joon with a sidelong glance.
A man with an atmosphere as if a screw was missing somewhere.
From the outside, he was a really insignificant man.
‘······’
But Calia could never think that way.
It was because when he intervened to protect Ryu Jin-cheol, he felt Seo-joon’s power for a moment.
More than anything else, the judgment that brought out those old memories and made Calia fall into a trap.
He possessed not only overwhelming force, but also a cool insight into the situation.
‘······ I can’t really guess.’
Calia couldn’t possibly grasp Seo-jun’s level.
To be precise, I couldn’t figure out who Seojun was.
That’s why Calia couldn’t take a step right now.
It was because I had a rough idea of what would happen once I crossed that gate.
Calia, like an animal being led to a slaughterhouse, only hesitantly felt her fate.
Seeing Calia’s unmoving appearance even after time passed, the Sword Saint frowned and said.
“What are you doing not going in? Are you going to break your oath of truth?”
“·······”
That is why the expression ‘being dragged away’ was the most appropriate.
Eventually, Calia let out a deep sigh and pushed herself into the gate.
Woo woo woo.
A strange sound was heard and Calia’s figure disappeared into the gate.
Just like that, when Calia’s figure completely disappeared from sight.
“I can’t put any more pressure on Calia. You know?”
Seojun spoke as if he had been waiting.
Geomseong slowly nodded at Seojun’s words.
“Know. Calia is the successor to the Apostle of Purity. If Calia goes wrong, the Jinrihoe won’t just watch.”
In response, Seojun nodded his head.
Honestly Seojun and Geomseong.
With these two, it was enough to subdue Calia in the dungeon.
It wasn’t just suppression, it was even possible to deal with it.
And he could have disguised it as a dungeon accident to hide the fact.
But I couldn’t.
As the successor to the apostle of chastity, Calia had a fairly high position within the Jinrihoe.
He was mentioned as the most likely successor as the next Apostle of Purity, so what more explanation is needed?
In a word, it meant that Calia’s background was Jinrihoe.
If Calia goes wrong, Jinrihoe will have a justification to step forward.
And the fact that Seo Jun, Geomseong, and Calia headed to the same dungeon to save Uiseong was something that could be known with a little investigation.
No, there was no need to even investigate.
The fact that Seo-joon attacked the Black Dragon Guild alone had already been published.
Maybe you already knew.
So, if Calia were to die, it would have been enough to point out the culprit as Seo-jun and the Sword Saint.
Even if that isn’t true.
The religious organization that saved the world, Jinrihoe.
People’s perception of Jinrihoe could be said to be blind.
No matter how much Seo-joon is a rising supernova and Geomseong is a hero of a cataclysm, he is not up to par with Jinri-hoe.
Rather, there were many risk factors that could face a headwind.
“On the other hand, as long as Calia is with her, the Jinrihoe will not be able to manipulate them.”
And it was the same for Jinrihoe.
Even so, it was impossible to lose an influential figure as the next apostle of chastity.
From the standpoint of Seo-jun and Geomseong, it was enough to deal with Calia as soon as Jinri-hoe cheated.
Perhaps all of the previously planned events were canceled as Calia came along.
In the end, Calia could be seen as a kind of hostage.
“But Calia will definitely feel the danger. So, let’s threaten him so he can find Uiseong-nim quickly.”
Seojun shrugged once.
“·······”
Geomseong was at a loss for words at the sight of Seo-jun.
I thought he was just such a bastard.
The Seo-joon in front of him was completely different from the bastard he knew.
Not to mention overpowering Ryu Jin-cheol, who is close to being a cataclysmic hero.
I never thought that I would flip the board like this using a fact that I hadn’t even thought of.
Above all, the heart of my granddaughter…
“Anything you want to say…?”
Hearing Seojun’s words, Geomseong shook off his thoughts.
“no. Get in quickly.”
Then, the swordsman pushed himself into the gate first.
A swordsman who disappears in an instant.
Somewhere, Seo-joon tilted his head once in a completely different atmosphere.
Then, without hesitation, he pushed his body through the gate, following the swordsman.
Woo woo woo woo.
My vision reversed with a strange sound.
After a while, the topography of the dense forest came into view.
Then, along with the figure of the Sword Master with the sword drawn.
“I-I-Now what, what are you trying to do?”
I saw Calia who was restless with a very nervous expression.
It seemed that he was preparing for the next battle as he quietly raised his shield.
Seo-joon smiled and laughed at Calia’s appearance.
“What are you doing?”
Then, Seojun took out Gungnir from the kibisis and held it.
Then, without hesitation, he threw Gungnir in the direction of Calia.
I love you!
Gungnir, who had left Seo-jun’s hand, shot out with a terrifying sound.
Gungnir thrown with the skill of Chal (扎).
The terrifying wave of power I felt seemed like it would pierce everything.
‘This, this…!’
Calia gritted her teeth and gave strength to the shield she held.
can i stop it
might be able to stop it.
But what next?
Calia felt dizzy.
At the same time as the moment of agony, Gungnir came right in front of Calia’s nose.
however.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
For some reason, Gungnir just passed Calia.
Embarrassed for a moment.
“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Whoops!
A deafening scream erupted from behind Calia, and the earth roared loudly.
Calia looked back slowly, bewildered.
Then, the giant centipede, Demugade, was sprawled on the floor with its head blown off.
In the meantime, Seo-joon tucked away and came to Calia’s side.
“Of course, shouldn’t we find Uiseong?”
Calia looked blankly at Seo-jun.
At first glance, there was nothing strange about Seo-joon’s words.
But why does it sound like he’ll make it into Demugade if he does something stupid?
“So, where is Uiseong-nim now?”
“·······”
Calia had no choice but to confess everything she knew.
#
A 10-star monster, Demugade.
As a giant centipede-type monster, it was a strong monster armed with a hard shell and sharp teeth.
In other words, it meant that it was a monster with nothing to throw away.
and very occasionally. really very rarely.
Occasionally, Demugade with Naedan was found.
Naedan is a kind of crystal containing powerful mana, and the Demugade that embraces Naedan boasted overwhelming strength compared to other Demugade.
And among the Hunters, these words were floating around.
If you can deal with that demu-gade and get an inner altar, your life will change.
An inner altar that holds powerful mana.
Of course, when Hunters take it, the level rises by one level.
If ordinary people take it, it is a panacea, so they will not have to worry about minor illnesses for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, the insiders of Demugade are not only hunters, but also successful entrepreneurs or presidents of large corporations.
It has an outstanding value even for many rich people, so even if it is sold at an auction house, it was able to get a huge price.
The value of the inner layer was beyond imagination no matter which way it was used.
Demugade had such great value and potential, but even so, there were not many hunters who wanted to hunt Demugade.
There were many reasons for this, but the biggest reason was that I couldn’t catch Demugade.
Even the normal Demugade was a 10-star monster.
From 10 stars, it was the domain of S-class hunters.
The de facto pinnacle that professional hunters can reach, the S-class hunter.
In the first place, there weren’t that many Hunters who could handle Demugade.
In addition, Demugade, which had internal beliefs, possessed a different level of strength from ordinary Demugades.
That is why the inner altar of Demugade was only regarded as a piece of cake.
but.
“Evee eh!”
Whoops!
It was not at all relevant to those gathered here.
The swordsman trudged and stepped out between Demugade, which collapsed with a scream.
A battle that lasted only a few seconds.
After a battle that couldn’t even be called that battle, Demugade’s body was cut in half.
On the other hand, the swordsman seemed to have no problems except for a little bit of dust.
The swordsman brushed off the bodily fluids on the blue dragon sword.
“It seems that Uiseong-nim came here to get Demugade’s inner altar.”
Then, suddenly, I hear Seo-joon’s voice.
When I turned my head, I saw Seo-joon there.
And behind Seo-jun, several demugades were spread out miserably.
‘They took care of all these guys in that short amount of time…’
Of course, Calia’s figure could be seen through Seo-jun’s side.
And Calia is a skill level comparable to that of the cataclysm hero.
But looking at Calia, who only rolled her eyes, to be honest, it didn’t seem very helpful.
Geomseong stared at Seo-jun, who slowly approached, before opening his mouth.
“Perhaps. Since I came here after saying I would cure demons, I’m sure that’s the case.”
“okay.”
Seojun nodded once and continued.
“By the way, I don’t know if there is a Demugade that has an inner altar…”
The very existence of Demugade, which embraced the inner world, was rare.
Demugade didn’t necessarily come out of the dungeon.
Literally sometimes.
Demugade Naedan was something that was found very rarely.
That’s why, even if you save Uiseong, if you can’t save Naedan, it’s the same thing that you can’t cure demonic nature.
However, the swordsman shook his head and opened his mouth.
“I think if you’re an onomatopoeic guy, you know how to extract an inner layer.”
“yes? Extracting the inner hem?”
The swordsman nodded and continued.
“I don’t know the details either. However, I would not have known that fact because it was onomatopoeia. Even so, if you entered this dungeon saying there was a way to cure it, you must have your own way.”
Seojun nodded slowly at the words of the swordsman.
Along with Geomseong, Uiseong was one of Korea’s representative five heroes of cataclysm.
There must have been a reason that he became a hero of the cataclysm with his medical skills, not just military force.
“So we need to find the onomatopoeia as soon as possible. Although there is no such thing as a demonic lack of time. Because I don’t know what the situation is like.”
The swordsman looked around slowly.
The forest is densely covered with trees that rise as if piercing the sky.
“The question is, how do you find it…”
It took too long to search this vast dungeon one by one.
At the words of the swordsman, Seo-joon turned his head to the side and looked at Calia.
Seeing Seo-jun’s gaze, Calia flinched and trembled before opening her mouth.
It was not an attitude that the successor of the Apostle of Purity would show.
But Calia somehow seemed to have to.
An isolated dungeon with no one on its side.
No one knew what was going on here.
Of course, Calia knew at least that Seo Jun and Geomseong couldn’t touch her hastily.
If you touch yourself, the Jinrihoe will come out.
However, ‘quickly’ did not mean ‘never’.
Death was the only thing that mattered.
Above all, I couldn’t forget the image of Seo-jun fighting Demugade.
“It’s something I don’t even know anymore.”
Calia averted her gaze and shook her head.
From the moment Calia herself came here, everything went wrong.
Calia did not know anything about the whereabouts of the onomatopoeia.
Seo-joon looked at Calia blankly.
Clearly, Calia messed with this dungeon.
And I probably canceled all those plans before coming.
That we can’t die together.
So Seo-joon thought of taking this opportunity to find out what the plan was.
Of course, Seo-joon had no intention of letting Calia go like this.
‘First of all, I’m looking for Uiseong.’
But not now.
There is no time for onomatopoeia, and there is no time for demonism.
There was no time to leisurely shake off Calia.
I had to find Uiseong as soon as possible and treat Demonic.
It’s not too late to rob Calia after that.
Of course, Calia wouldn’t speak lightly.
So I thought I’d dig it slowly over time.
Anyway, if you don’t kill it, isn’t it enough?
Seo-joon turned his gaze away from Calia without any expression.
I don’t know if I know what Seojun thinks.
“Whoa…”
A small sigh came from Calia.
Seo-joon looked around once more, leaving Calia behind.
dense forest.
As the swordsman said, it was too much to search this wide forest one by one.
More than anything, it was added because the dense trees were blocking the view.
Seo-joon looked around and looked around, then muttered a little.
“Um… I guess this should be enough.”
“Is there a way?”
Geomseong asked at Seo-jun’s murmur.
Seojun seemed to be thinking for a while, then slowly opened his mouth.
“There is, but… I’m not sure either. wait a minute.”
Seo-jun quietly closed his eyes to expand his senses.
Phantasmal metamorphosis obtained while completing Keiron’s lecture.
Seojun expanded and expanded the realm of the supersensory.
When I blocked all stimuli and focused only on the sensations, a distinct sensation that was different from usual was recognized.
Geomseong looks at Seo-joon with interest.
Calia breaks out in a cold sweat.
Everything around Seo-joon was recognized more clearly.
However, there was no sign of onomatopoeia.
No matter how much Chiron’s senses were, it was impossible to find the onomatopoeia of this wide dungeon.
But Seojun did not stop there.
The super sense that has been expanded and expanded like that is accompanied by the description of power.
A method of ejecting maximum power with minimal force, power output.
Seo-joon applied that technique to Chiron’s senses.
Then the expanded senses began to sharpen.
Like sharpening an ax and making needles.
The spread sensations began to sharpen.
If it is snowing, you can feel the sense to even recognize the decision.
Even so, the sign of onomatopoeia was still not felt.
And for Seo-joon, this was not the end.
Seo-joon used the magic of Samdanjeon (三丹田) here.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwah!!!
“······!!”
“······!!”
Swordsman and Calia both opened their eyes at the same time at the power of transcendence exploding through Seo-jun’s whole body.
Each one looked at Seo-jun with an expression of disbelief, but Seo-joon didn’t care.
It was just projecting that mana onto his senses.
Then, endlessly, the senses received the power of magical power and began to amplify after amplification.
Eventually, I felt as if I was up high in the sky and watching everything.
and only then
wriggling.
He felt something tickle Seo-jun’s senses.
A completely different feeling from Demugade.
It was clear that it must have been onomatopoeia.
It seems like it can’t really be caught.
It was something that could not be explained with words.
It’s nothing if you don’t focus on concentration.
That’s why Seo-joon couldn’t be sure of its direction and location.
It literally just felt like it, and it wasn’t much different from now.
All I could tell was that he was still alive.
However, Seo-joon focused more on that sensation.
Then he took Gungnir out of the kibisis.
Gungnir, the spear of Piljung (必中).
Seojun threw Gungnir as hard as he could, identifying the sensation he was feeling.
Hey hey profit!!
Then, with a fierce force, Gungnir left Seo-jun’s hand.
But is it because the target is not visible?
Shhhhhh… Profit?
Gungnir, who was being shot, suddenly stopped moving and paused.
Then, as if turning his head, he turned the head of his spear toward Seo-joon.
It looks like ‘what is it?’ seemed to ask.
Seo-joon shouted, focusing more on his senses.
“this! Go get this!”
Then Gungnir began to wander for a while.
After some time passed, Gungnir quietly fixed the spearhead in one direction.
Whee-ae-ae-ae-ae-aek!
It started shooting out at an incredible speed.
Seo-joon scattered the senses he had been focusing on at once.
Then, with his eyes still open, he shouted at the Sword Saint.
“Then I’ll go first, so follow me slowly!”
Flash!
Then, a bright halo of light burst out, and Seo-jun’s figure disappeared in an instant.
“·······”
“·······”
The situation happened in an instant before I could react.
and between them.
-I have to stop Gungnir before he penetrates Uiseong!
The sound that couldn’t keep up with Seo-jun’s speed came like an echo.
