Chapter 1439 – Baekgye

The stairs leading down to the next floor were hidden beneath the remains of a giant dragon.
As I was going down the stairs, there was green slime stuck to the walls here and there, which made me feel uneasy.

However, the anxiety was short-lived.
There was a belief among the team members that something would work out.
Everyone looked at Dre, who was walking casually.

Kranium was no exception.
Cranium, who was glancing sideways, chuckled. He cleared his throat and said.

“We’re all tired. Are you going to keep moving?”
“Now speaking informally is natural.”
“Ah. So you’re going to keep moving without taking a break?”

Dre nodded.

“Isn’t this too much of a forced march?”
“Are you having a hard time?”
“That’s funny!!”

Kranium’s eyes lit up.

“I don’t mind walking like this for months. But that’s only for me and wizards who are used to fighting.”

Most wizards have weak physical strength.
Even now, I see quite a few people having a hard time.
But Dre shook his head resolutely.

“I keep going.”
“…Joy.”

Kranium kept his mouth shut.
Dre blinked.

“Aren’t you asking why?”
“They won’t even answer.”

Cranium walked ahead with long strides.

After walking for a while, the road became winding and very narrow.
Difficulties arose due to the space being so narrow that two people could barely walk side by side.

Mabing tribe.
Their wavelength is the enemy. Since I don’t care about my allies, I was left far away from the team to prepare for an unexpected surprise attack, but the road got narrower and I ended up stuck with my teammates.

Even if you want to lead the Ma Bing tribe far ahead, it would be a loss if you send the Ma Bing tribe first and die, as it is unknown whether they still have immortal abilities.

The White Rabbit said that there was a skill to block their waves, but it was a skill called ‘Suppression’ and the effect only lasted for one hour a day.
The Maving tribe is a powerful force. In times of emergency, I had to fight on the battlefield with wizards, but I couldn’t use useless skills while moving.

“From now on, we will stand in line. There will be half and half members of the Waikatsu and Marbing tribe, standing at the front and back of the line. Of course, maintain a distance that does not affect other team members.”

The familiars of the Maving tribe and Waikatsu, which are sturdy and probably still possess the ability to remain immortal, are optimized for guard and front line roles.

However. Except for the Red Team and Yellow Team, who are members of the white world, all players are in a shocked mood.
Mix half and half Mabing tribe and Waikatsu?
Beings that have been fighting for ten thousand years?

But neither the Mabing nor the Waikatsu said anything.
There wasn’t even a wrinkle on his face.

There is fear in the Mavi people who glance at Dre. There was a hint of respect in Faikatsu’s eyes.
Their commanding skills and strength allowed them to easily catch something they could never have caught on their own. And lead by example.

Look at it now.
Dre, who gave the order, is naturally moving to the front lines.
Waikatz. He said he would go with the Mabing tribe.

“Nelf.”
“Yes!!”

Nelf ran to Dododo Dre.

“Homun, please take charge of the rear command with Mr. Garcinido.”
“Yes!!”

Afterwards, Dre called in a school that deals with mercury and had them make a long rod.
I was wondering where it would be used, and it was to measure the wavelength distance with the Maving tribe.
Above the wizards’ heads, a long, far-reaching bar of mercury floated.

“Mr. White Rabbit, please tell the Marbing people that if they cross that bar because their lives are in danger, they will be punished by me.”
“Yes! I understand, Captain!”

The White Rabbit’s eyes lit up despite the coercive words, and he called the Mabing tribe together and gave them instructions.
The Marving people nodded.
Meanwhile, a crunching sound was heard in the distance.
Even back and forth. In both directions.

“Garcinido, Lord Cheongtap.”

Flash! Pot!

The two fastest people on the team ran along the front and back aisles, respectively.
Fazizik. A sound like electricity and something breaking was heard, and soon the two people returned.

Cheongtapju felt his hands. Garcinido brought the head of a beetle.
It was as big as a human being.

“Is it a bug?”

Women are shocked by Dre’s words.
Even some of the men were shocked.
Just bugs are disgusting, but bugs that big?

“Bugs burn easily in fire.”

Sreung. Dre said, drawing his sword.

“Movement.”

Fortunately, the narrow passage wasn’t that long, and there weren’t as many insect monsters as I thought.
The move was also smooth.

Among the monsters, there was an entity with an unreasonable pattern that fired powerful acid even though it was a very narrow, straight path, but no matter how powerful the acid was, it could not pierce the solid bodies of Waikatsu’s familiars and the Maving tribe.

Also. There were large armored monsters blocking the path, but none of the hard monsters could withstand Dre’s cutting sword.

When even Kranium, which had strong attack power, was having a hard time against the giant iron ball-shaped insect monster, the team members were amazed at the sight of the monster being split to left and right with a single strike from Dre.
Kranium grumbled.

“Hmph. It’s okay to show off.”
“It’s the right place at the right time.”

Dre, who skillfully dealt with Kranium’s dispute, took the lead again.
Most expected. And while she was giving a look of recognition, there was someone who looked upon her with appreciation, and the representative one among them was Erilgear Folt Lucia.

She looks like a cocky and overbearing noblewoman, and at first glance it seems like she values ​​cleanliness, but right now, not only her clothes but even her face is dirty here and there.
Of course it wasn’t just her, it was all of her, but to her she was only important to herself.

“How long are you going to walk for?”

A few people nodded their heads in agreement with her grumbling.
The reaction I wanted.
Erilgear smiled and whispered to the people around him.

“Shall I tell you to take a short break?”
“But…”
“Hmm…”

A strange feeling coexisted in the minds of the team members.
The humiliation and fear of being beaten like crazy by that bastard.
Dissatisfaction with the forced march without even a minute of rest.
And… The exhilaration of the remarkable result of easily defeating enemies that they had no choice about.

He must have been a man you didn’t like, but he didn’t just seem like a pitiful person.

“…”

Erylgear was quick to notice.
As she watched people’s reactions, she smiled brightly and said,

“Now that I think about it, I think I can walk further. Let’s hold on a little longer and then I’ll tell you.”
“Yes.”
“That would be great.”

Eryl Gere said to herself, “This is not good…” She thought.

‘These idiots. Have you forgotten who that guy is? That cruel light flame?’

A human being who is said to be a unique opponent of the Demon World along with a true hero, and who is also evaluated as being scarier than the Demon World, the greatest enemy of the human world.
And the Magic Tower betrayed that cruel human. I tried to kill him.
Now that their lives are in danger, they will get along well.

‘But. What if I go outside the White World?

She foresaw a terrible end.
Eryl Gere said she was confident in her ability to get along with people.
Her beauty. Adding a friendly attitude to her position, she is something that no one, regardless of age or gender, falls for.
It will take quite a long time to clear the White World.
Within that period, the grievance with Dre must be resolved somehow.

‘…I thought so until now.’

However. Dre is more capable than you think.
If things continue like this, I think I will clear the White World in no time.

‘If I go out, at least I’m done.’

No one else knows. Erylgear is an abominable enemy who has been requesting Dre’s body for a long time.
Before she goes outside, she has to put some safety measures in place.
Something.
Right in front. Watching Dre’s spark rise, Aryl Gere lost herself in her thoughts.

The narrow road ended and a huge space emerged.
But she didn’t like anyone.

“No, what is this…”
“Her…”

What I saw at the end of the narrow road that felt like it was claustrophobic… Was a swamp.
It was a poisonous swamp that felt like it would rot as soon as she stepped into it!!
Flowers and bushes were blooming in the swamp, adding to the strangeness.

“Is that the flower of Benum, said to have been left behind by Venum, the Demon Lord of Poison, who was said to be on par with the Ten Heroes…?”

One of the wizards muttered.
Dre approached him.

“If you are the Demon Lord of Poison, does that flower also have poisonous ingredients?”
“It’s extremely poisonous.”
“Fuck you.”

I’m now used to Dre’s abusive language.
What should the wizard do? I looked at him with that gaze.
No matter how much I try, is there a way?

“Mr. Cranium. Would you like to burn it?”

Fuuuuu-!!

Before Dre could finish speaking, lava covered the poisonous swamp.

Chijijijiji!!

A loud noise. Cranium heh. How about smiling? I looked back at Dre with these eyes.
Dre laughed.

“It doesn’t work.”
“What?!”

As expected, Kranium turned his head. The lava was disappearing quickly.
Although the poisonous swamp was bubbling, it did not evaporate or anything.

“No. Evaporating poison in a secret room like this. Do you have an idea…!”

It was Teiria who went into a fit.
But she stopped mid-sentence and looked at Dre.
In fact, Dre called out several schools without much response.
The ice that was active earlier. Mercury, including petrification. Gold, etc. It was a school that could create something solid.

“Can we make a road?”
“I’ll try.”

The Freeze School was the first to step forward and freeze the swamp, and Dre jumped on top of them and jumped in place.

“Uh…! It’s solid ice, but I’ve never used it in a poisonous swamp like this, so it might break!”
“There will be battles even in the swamp. Someone has to test it.”

Someone muttered as Dre and her wizards conferred.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to use footprint-type magic?”
“I beg your pardon?”

The wizard, startled by Dre’s reaction, quickly apologized.

“I’m sorry. I just…”
“No, no. I think it’s a good idea. The footprint series… It’s definitely about using magic of a specific attribute on the feet, right?”

For example, the Blaze Staff leaves a trail of flames when you walk forward.
She used to call the magic activated while walking like that the ‘footprint series.’

“Ah. Yes. However, the footprint series does not only have instantaneous magic like Blaze Staff, but also a type of magic that condenses and fixes it under the foot for easy movement. Blaze Staff is so famous that not many people know about it.”
“Let’s try.”

Dre borrowed the power of the Footprint School to create ice on his feet and legs and ran around.

“This is good!!”

Dre immediately adopted the footprint magic.
The Maving tribe, whose magic did not work, told them to ride Waikatsu’s familiar, and this time, the two forces followed without a second thought.

Is it because Dre hasn’t asked me to do anything so far?
The red monster and yellow filth seemed to notice and said we could swim, but Dre shook his head.

“Take it easy. Take it easy. You are key personnel with a lot of work to do later.”
“Demon!”
“Thank you, devil.”
“… These are some strangely eerie lines.”

This time, Dre called all the schools related to blitz and said, let’s go while supporting the poison with blitz.
There must be monsters under the swamp.
At that time, yellow dirt came out.

“Captain. Our strength cannot withstand even extremely poisonous creatures. Please use our strength.”
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. If you use the laser for a long time, your eyes will hurt, but if you take a short break, it will soon get better.”
“Hmm… Won’t there be any damage to Faikatsu’s familiar?”
“We can target addiction.”
“Wow, that’s amazing…!!”
“Haha. Thank you for the compliment.”
“Great. Let’s go that way.”

The result was a huge success.
As I leisurely moved through the wide poison swamp without any damage, I obtained numerous encyclopedia items.
Soon the corpse of the monster hiding under the poisonous swamp floated up.

“And…”
“I mean, originally we had to deal with them in this swamp.”

The poisonous swamp, where you couldn’t tell how deep it was, was also terrible, and the corpses of disgusting monsters, such as a strange monster that looked like a combination of a crab, a crayfish, and a shrimp, or a monster with a tadpole and frog legs, aroused fear just by looking at it.

The Dokswamp section was very long, and we reached the end of the Dokswamp after about an hour. Arrived on land.
Dre looked around and shouted.

“Rest for half a day now!!

Rest?
There was surprise in the eyes of the team members.
Is it really a break?

“Everyone, it’s time to get to work!”

What Dre pointed out was one of the non-combat schools that had not done much so far. They were the so-called ‘Jeonghwa school’ schools.

Originally, purification is the study of removing poisons, etc., But among them is the grime of the world. There were also schools of thought that specialized in washing and bathing to remove impurities.
The only purification schools left now were the life study schools.
The rest are dead.

The women sent their looks full of anticipation.
Even cleanliness magic has its limits. After walking around caves and swamps all day, my whole body was sticky and unpleasant, and my clothes had a bad smell.

The excited Jeonghwa school cautiously said that it was finally their turn to act.

“We can make simple tools related to soap or laundry, but…”
“I can’t even use the bathtub…”

Dre shouted.

“Whaikatsu many buun!!”

This time, the all-rounder Waikatsu came out again.
They were able to freely make most things, not just familiars.
Even a moving castle. Didn’t they build a fortress too?

We brought together people from Waikatz who had knowledge of Nelf and other toiletries, and after some trial and error, we were able to create a number of shower facilities.

Water was supplied by the Water School.
In this terrible place. Suddenly, the scent of soap was overflowing.

Dre ordered the Air School to provide ventilation to prevent the musty smells of poisonous swamps and caves from coming in, and asked the Cooking School, such as seasoning and cooking, to cook.

Ingredients are prepared before departure. I already have it full in my inventory.
Monsters also occasionally spit out food items, so there was no need to starve.

While men and women were showering separately, the Mabing tribe, who had no interest in washing, stood guard around them.
Although they might have complained, they were very satisfied just by being the first to eat the hot dish.

The team members who came out from the shower smiled happily as they inhaled the hot food.
Dre laid out the bedding he had in his inventory, told them to sleep in turns, and headed off somewhere.

“Where are you going?”

Dre said in response to Cheongtapju’s question.

“I’m just going to look ahead a little bit.”
“You must have had a hard time so far, so it would be nice to take a break…”
“It’s okay. I’m just going on a brief reconnaissance trip. The yellow team has worked especially hard, so please give them more time to rest.”

Dre walked away as if it was no big deal.
Human. Women in particular looked at Dre’s back with eyes dripping with respect.

Foresightedness.
Lead by example.
Gentile idioms passed through their minds.

****

Scratch scratch scratch.

See-Bee. I thought I was searching because my butt was itchy.
I was afraid that if the engineering leader said this shit in front of the team members, I would lose my weight, so I held back.
I should go back quickly, take a shower, and eat something delicious.

…By the way. What is this again?
After passing through the poisonous swamp, I saw another huge and vast space at the end.

I think it’s the boss room.
And beyond the boss room… There was the night sky.
There was a glimpse of something like a violent storm in the night sky.
It seems like there is a field that will stimulate your fear of heights…

That moment when I was clearly staring at the night sky and the storm. I opened my eyes and hurriedly hid behind a nearby rock.
No. Fuck…!
Why is that bastard here?

[Cow-!!]

The crow that ran into me the other day was flying.
