Chapter 349 – The Four Heavenly Kings (1)

Decided. The dungeon needs to be destroyed once.
Dojin thought so and looked down at the boy who sat down.

“Yes, kid. What is your name?”
“Ha, Hans. This is Hans.”
“Hans. I’ll go with you today – go back.”
“Ha, but I have to raise money…….”
“Money?”

Hearing that, Dojin pointed to Hans’ bag. A bag full of magic stones dropped by monsters that Dojin caught.

There were so many magic stones in the bag that it was impossible for even a low-level adventurer to collect.

“That would be a few silver coins. It may not cure the disease, but it will relieve the burden.”

“But…”

“Or, since it’s a monster I caught, should I take it? Do you want to go back empty-handed?”

“…… I’ll go back. Yes.”

Hans, who struggled for a long time not wanting to go back, broke his will when he realized belatedly that it was thanks to Do-jin that he was able to get so many magic stones.

If you try to be stubborn here, it will end with Do-jin taking the magic stone and being kicked out.

Watching Hans silently boarding the elevator, Do-jin remembered the saintess’s schedule.

He’s helped me a lot with my decision, so he’d be fine with a little help himself.

The elevator starts. They immediately came out of the dungeon.

* * *

Returning to the mansion, Do-jin told his party that he would climb the dungeon. Because he always had been, the children told him to do it without thinking.

Only one person Only Seoyoon, who knows what happens when you climb a dungeon, came up to Dojin and asked.

“Are you okay?”
“What?”
“As in the empire, if the dungeon here collapses…….”
“It’s okay, you can build it again.”
“…… And what if, you can’t wake up either?”

At those words, Do-jin looked at Seo-yoon as if she was talking about something, and then remembered that Atanasia had not awakened in this world.

Do-jin knew the reason why she could n’t wake up because she experienced her time regression to her, but she was different from others and Seo-yoon.

The reason she couldn’t wake up was because she attacked the dungeon, and if she continued to attack the dungeon, Do-jin could become the same.

“I’m okay.”
“…… Okay.”

However, Seoyoon couldn’t stop Dojin, who seemed to have already made up her mind. It was because after countless experiences that Do-jin was stubborn, she experienced it herself.

All she could do was prevent Do-jin from dying while climbing the dungeon, that was the best.

* * *

Do-jin and his party attacked the dungeon. One day is the 1st floor, the other day is the 2nd floor. At the end of the attack, which accelerated day by day, Dojin realized one thing.

The prison called the dungeon fulfilled its role as the gods intended.

The demon army trapped inside, that is, the prisoners, disappeared in front of thousands or tens of thousands of years. Without a lifeless Chimera, a resident of the dream world, or a special ability, you simply cannot survive.

Since the monsters were imprisoned based on the level of danger at the time the dungeon was built there, it felt like it got easier the higher you went up.

“It’s like this again.”

Dojin let out a laugh when he saw the monster on the 66th floor. A skeleton gourd with no flesh left. The lower layers were like this too.

Most of the monsters died in the wind and waves for an uncountably long time. Those who barely survived were either insane or had abilities specialized to that side, so their fighting power was not strong.

Thinking it would be the same this time, Dojin lightly touched the skeleton’s head.

Trampling on the skeleton that had fallen to the floor without strength, I found the stairs leading up.

“Stairs, stairs…….”

Do-jin, who was looking for the stairs with his party his, realized that he could not see the stairs until after searching for a long time.

In this case, there were two possibilities. This layer itself is a trap, in fact, is there a hidden place?

Didn’t all the monsters in the hierarchy die yet?
It was the latter this time.

[Oh, oh- how much time has passed-.]

The skeleton that Dojin trampled on stands up. The empty skull glowed with blue eyes, and soon began to burn roaring with magic as fuel.

The whole body, which was clad in ruggedness, was clad in a fancy magician’s unique robe, and in his hand was a wand made of a material that exuded an ominous energy.

Monster- Realizing that, Do-jin immediately swung his sword and cut off the monster’s head. The skeleton’s vertebra splits, and the skull falls to the floor as it is.

[Your temper is impatient. Wouldn’t it be solved through conversation like an intelligent body?]
“What are you talking about with monsters?”
[From my point of view, you guys are even more inferior- aren’t you asking for a conversation like this? Even if it’s a monster, the conversation is enough…….]

Dojin did n’t listen anymore and stepped on his foot and crushed his skull. I don’t know where the brain is or where the vitals are in this skull without a single piece of flesh…… Once you smash the head, that noisy snout will shut up.

Contrary to Dojin’s thoughts, however, the skeleton moved without incident even after being trampled to powder.

[Sorry, but I won’t die from something like that.]

The powdered skull begins to regenerate. Seeing the skull whose head was restored in an instant, Aderange started to let out a drool.

“…… Rich.”

[Oh, is it still the age to find out my identity? Looking at the age of the dungeon, it seems that tens to hundreds of thousands of years have passed.]

Richie looked at Aderange, who recognized him, and began to smile happily. Even though there wasn’t a single muscle missing from his facial expression, I could tell very well that he was smiling.

“Rich? What is a lich?”
“I mean the lich…….”
[Oh, wait a minute.]

Ade Lange, who was trying to explain about Richie after hearing Dojin’s question of her, was stopped by Richie to keep her mouth shut.

The use of unpredictable magic. And, a level of skill that a strong person like Aderange can’t resist.

Do-jin, who saw the creepy application of magic, looked at Rich as he prepared to use the skill of reigning the Heavenly Demon.

[You should introduce yourself. Hmmm, nice to meet you I am the staff member of the Demon King’s Army and one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Archmage of Immortality, Ark-Rich Friedbach.]

The moment I finished my introduction, dozens or hundreds of magic circles came to mind behind Richie’s back his. As soon as the light flashed, Do-jin reacted and swung his sword, and Seo-yoon fired off his ability.

However, Do-jin’s sword stopped at cutting one magic circle, and Seo-yoon’s ability was suppressed by the magic circle and could not be properly displayed.

[If you heard someone else’s name, didn’t you learn that it’s polite to introduce yourself?]

“…… Kim, Dojin.”

[Yes, nice to meet you. Beating a magic circle, isn’t that a very strange ability? Can you tell me what it is?]

Do-jin blocked her wildly open mouth. Seeing that, the lich chuckled her and increased the strength of his magic her.

It was Do-jin who blocked his mouth her with his hand her, but he could not stop his mouth from opening naturally as if he had been brainwashed.

“Heavenly Demon… Reign…….”
[It is a mad name. But I like it.]

As they exchanged questions and answers, Do-jin realized the loophole of this magic. He could control his mouth her but not his body her.

If this happened, even the base cloth would be robbed, so Do-jin quickly swung his sword and cut the magic circle. It was an attack that he could not block even if he knew it, so the lich had no choice but to watch the magic break down endlessly.

However, even when his magic was cut off, Richie didn’t lose his smile.

[How is it? Are you ready to talk now?]

“Conversation, conversation…… If you want to do something like that, make an imaginary friend of yours.”

[That has already been done for tens of thousands of years. Greetings, my friend here. Charles I.]

Joking or being serious, Rich said as he pointed to the empty side. Soon after, he wrapped his arms around the air and started giggling as if someone was really there.

Richie, who burst into laughter with the subject of a skull without tears, said to Dojin with an expressionless face as if he had been rude.

[Isn’t it funny? People also have to talk to people.]

“—Okay, now let’s have some fun.”

[Oh, how do you mean? Are you going to show me some magic that will surprise me?]

“Exactly.”

Saying that, Do-jin looked back at Seo-yoon, who was preparing for her abilities. Seoyoon, who had been gathering her strength for a long time after realizing that her abilities her were not working, sent out negative energy enough to bring about an ice age to the world.

As if time had stopped, everything, including dust and air, stopped at the spot where Seoyoon had sent the negative energy.

Richie, who saw that, began to touch my jaw joint with an overly relaxed attitude.

[I’m familiar with something… Are you guys, the Demon King?]
“What nonsense.”
[Is not it? Or not I asked because I was too lazy to kill a colleague.]

Even though the sound came right in front of his nose his, Richie acted unconcerned. As if he was sure that the tone would not reach him.

And, Seoyoon’s yin energy attacked Richie. The surroundings of the lich, from the air to the dimension, magic power – everything in the world began to freeze—- the lich stopped moving.

“Host!”

Do-jin, who saw that Richie had stopped, immediately rushed at Richie with a sword. The immortal great wizard, the four kings of the Demon King’s Army—if the splendid name hadn’t been a lie, there was no way he could have died at this rate.

Dojin’s sword cuts through Richie’s body his. The sword strikes the essence of the opponent. Whether the opponent is a ghost or a slime that is immune to physical attacks, it cuts down the soul.

No matter how rich he is, he will not be safe – even thinking so, he did not stop swinging his sword.

“Ahhh!”
[Mmm…… I’m sorry to disturb you.]
“Haaaaa!”
[Hey, are you ignoring me? That’s a little sad.]

Do-jin, who was concentrating his whole body on cutting the lich in front of his eyes, swung his sword at the cool voice he heard from behind.

The lich, who was standing behind him, couldn’t escape the sword, but as if it didn’t matter, he began to regenerate his body silently.

As his party his, including Do-jin, looked at Rich in disbelief, Rich shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth lightly.

[Didn’t I tell you? It is said to be immortal.]

A monster that never dies.
The lich in front of him was an absolute being that obeyed that word.
