Chapter 561 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 47

Not even a single sound can be heard when a sword technique is performed to perfection. This is because there is not even the slightest waste of power, so there is only silence where you cannot even tell if a sword is being wielded in front of you.

A person holding that sword in front of him would literally feel the sword stabbing in the blink of an eye, and it was a terribly scary thing to think that that small blade could end one’s life at any moment.

This was true even though I knew that this was not a real fight, but a sparring to exchange skills.

‘—That’s terrible.’

Hoyeon looked at the sword pointed below his neck and whispered. It was a false sword with a sharp edge, and I could feel the sharpness of it as if it could really stab a person to death.

Only after pushing the sword away with his hand, Hoyeon felt the blunt blade, was he able to accept the fact that it was a false sword.

“I thought I could win this time.”

“If you beat me just because you learned it for a day or two, I’ll be in a bit of trouble.”

“Ho-? Even so, it is a body that was called the best machine of the tiger race.”

“Is there anyone here who hasn’t heard of a genius?”

“That’s right.”

Even Sayoung, who was watching their sparring from afar, was called the genius of the snake clan. Although the word genius seemed to be overused—the talent of those present was all real.

Of course, when two people meet, they are bound to be divided into superiors and inferiors, and even if they are geniuses, their talent is bound to be relative. If we were to be honest, Sayoung tended to take last place in this position.

“—Now that I think about it, I found something interesting in a dungeon a while ago.”

“Huh? “What?”

“Actually, God died a long time ago, or the dungeon is a prison to seal the devil, etc.”

“─Hey!?”

Sayoung, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, was startled and let out a loud noise. However, what was surprising was Hoyeon standing in front of them.

After hearing Dojin’s words, Hoyeon put down his sword for a moment and began to cry. Looking at the reaction, she could tell that this was the first time she had heard such a word from someone as high-ranking as her.

“Uh, um… “It’s not a lie, is it?”

“Is there any benefit to be gained by telling such a lie?”

“That’s true, but… “Then why are you telling me such a secret?”

“Because of him.”

“Ah… “Sayeong?”

Dojin looked at Sayoung and smiled bitterly at her. Although she had noticed to some extent since she was with him, Sa-young was too ignorant. So much so that I doubt whether she can keep it a secret.

Of course, Do-jin could not be said to be smart, but wasn’t he at least a talented person who completed secondary education in Korea? He was a talent that could not be compared to the ignorant Sayoung.

“Anyway, Ho-yeon will always be with Sa-young, and Sa-young will make a mistake at some point. “It would be better for her to know in advance than for her to go and have a misunderstanding.”

“But… “He’s a bit ignorant.”

“Hey!!”

While Sayoung was furious at the two people’s one-sided verbal violence, Dojin and Hoyeon burst into laughter. Realizing that the two of them were making fun of her, Sa-yeong started to get angry and Do-jin took out his sword as if he had no choice but to stop her.

While Ho-yeon was away for a while, saying that he would teach Sa-young about her swordsmanship, Ho-yeon pondered the story he had just heard from Do-jin.

‘God is dead, and the dungeon is a prison for the devil…’ …’

A secret of the world that even Hoyeon, a great warrior and his wife, had never heard of. Perhaps the only people who know this are the chieftains of each race or the leader of the demi-human union.

This is very important information that must be kept secret. It is said that such information was obtained in the dungeon.

‘What’s in the dungeon?’

Glimpse – Hoyeon’s eyes turn to the dungeon rising in the distance. The gaze that landed on the place that rose as high as a tower remained glued to it for a long time, not knowing how to fall.

Hoyeon looked at the dungeon for a moment, then shook his head and looked away again. She had to refrain from having a high-ranking person like her enter a place like a dungeon.

Even if she loses her life, it will cause irreversible damage to her organization.
However.

‘… ‘Let’s try it at least once.’

Sayoung’s sword skills have changed surprisingly recently.

A man named Do-jin, a swordsman I’ve never seen before.

And the secrets of the world they brought with them.

It made Hoyeon curious about dungeons.

[Tsk tsk tsk, good, good. Very good! This is it!]

The next day.

Dojin and his party, who had ascended to the 50th floor with the promised reward, let out a laugh as they saw Sherlock shouting happily after receiving luxury goods such as chocolate, green tea, black tea, and cake.

It felt very foreign to see a single goblin rejoicing on such a pile of luxury goods.

“What are you going to do with all that?”

[I have to eat and drink everything!]

“No… It would be bad.”

[Don’t worry! I’m Sherlock! A goblin that has lived for over thousands of years!]

Sherlock said that and started stuffing tea leaves and desserts into his subspace pocket. Do-jin and his party, who saw that, lowered their heads, thinking they would take care of it.

Although he looked like a goblin, he was an old monster who had lived in the dungeon for over thousands of years, and he was a living history book who even knew ancient magic.

You probably know a lot about how to keep food from spoiling.

“Then what? Is this the end of the calculation?”

[Uh-ah, if there’s anything you want to know more about, feel free to come by. Because guests are always welcome.]

“I wonder if I have any more questions… “I understand.”

The only information Sherlock knows is stories about history that was ruined thousands of years ago and information about dungeons – most of the information about the monsters living above has already been purchased, and there is no reason for them, who are not historians, to be curious about the ruined history. You don’t have to buy it…

Nevertheless, Dojin maintained her kindness and broke up with Sherlock. There was no need for her to cut off ties just because she said she would never see him again. If there is such a person, she is either a child or mentally disabled.

“This is the 51st floor…”

“Just like I heard, the air is different down there.”

Sherlock says that in the 50th class and below, there appear ‘races’ who have sworn loyalty to the Demon Lord. These are monsters such as goblins, Orkney werewolves, and ogres.

However, starting from the 51st layer, they break away from simple races and appear in the form of ‘individuals’ or ‘units’.

A monster or organization that made even the gods remember its name.

Okay. From here on, I had to deal with monsters truly recognized by God.

─Crrrr.
“Is that-.”

51st layer.

Hierarchy of the demonic beast ‘Hokurobi’.

A monster who was punished by dying and being resurrected forever for betraying God.

There was a ferocious monster in front of me right now, which I couldn’t see at all, but which instead brought back fear. Dojin faced the monster and pulled out her sword.

“Everyone gave-.”

─Kwaaaaang!

Before I could finish speaking, Hokurobi rushed in first. As expected from a monster after the 50th tier, the speed was fast enough to make you lose your mind.

However, Dojin and his party standing here were also worthy of being called monsters. Dojin swung his sword at Hokurobi, who was running towards them.

The sword made for dealing with humans was not a very good weapon for dealing with monsters, but Dojin had already learned the swordsmanship to deal with monsters through several experiences.

Of course, there was some help from Hoenn as well.

─Hook Aang-!

Hoku Robi, whose attack was blocked, glared harshly at Dojin as if he couldn’t believe it, and then quickly swung his opposite hand. However, just a quick and strong attack could not overcome Dojin’s defense.

Dojin let go of Hokurobi’s attacks as naturally as water, and it looked as if the two were pairing up and having fun. Otherwise, the sword and claws clashed with each other with incredibly precise timing.

After swinging the attack several times without success, Hokurobi completely ignored Dojin and the group behind him jumped to aim first. But that was the wrong choice.

“Elquines!”

“─Freeze.”

While Dojin was buying time by blocking the front, Orion and Raije, who had finished chanting, fired spirits and magic. As a 51st level monster, Hokurobi had resistance to magic, but the magic level of the two was enough to stop Hokurobi for an instant.

The swordsman who ignored Hokurobi and left was a swordsman who did not miss that brief opportunity.

Sigh-!

A fountain of blood flows down, and intestines drip onto the floor. While Hokurobi, who had seen his internal organs with his own eyes, tilted his head as if he had no idea what had happened, Dojin, who had cut his stomach, wiped away the blood and glared at Hokurobi with cold eyes.

“─Sayeong. “Finish.”

“Okay.”

And the next moment. The Four Spirits’ sword pierced Hokurobi’s brain.

That’s it. No matter how strong a monster was, it couldn’t survive being struck by the brain.

This is especially true if it is in the form of an animal.

After the monster was defeated, Dojin quickly began collecting the corpses before they disappeared.

“Oh, that’s right. “I need to take care of this.”

“Huh? Why is this?”

“Someone asked me to bring it to them.”

“… “What?”

One of the ingredients for the potion that Noah mentioned. That was one of Hokurobi’s shogi on the 51st floor. However, the companions who omitted those words heard… It was as if he had been kidnapped by someone.

With doubts in mind, the group asked Do-jin.

“Is that really a woman?”

“Uh? How did you know?”

“Crazy…”

The group glared at Dojin with cold eyes.

Where did this bastard seduce a woman again? … With the look in your eyes.
