Chapter 180 – 180. I Want to Eat the Master’s Master

“Sooooo…”

My head hurt like it would break. And my nose was very sore. It felt bitter, as if boiling oil had been poured into my nose. Dizzy. You can also feel the taste of blood in your mouth. It was hard to get up, so I decided to lie down a little longer and organize my thoughts. I could feel the presence, but judging from the quiet surroundings, I thought I could rest a little more.

After lying down for a while to catch my breath, I felt that my head, which had been a little stuffy, was clear. When the unknown worm settled in my head, I didn’t even feel stuffy, but after getting out of it, I realized that I was stuffy. What the hell was that Doppelganger? Mimic? I don’t know what. It was already dead, and no one in the party seemed to know the identity of the insect.

“Fuck..”

But how could that bug be able to follow my skill? I have several questions. Most of my skills are borrowed from evil gods such as Indicron or Carshinax. Is that even possible to copy?

‘Maybe I was able to do it because it was a degraded authority…’

If I get out of here later, I’ll have to ask Indicron or Botamilli separately. Carshinax answers most of the questions in a casual tone, wondering if it’s embarrassing to have a conversation with me alone. So, it is better to ask questions like this to Indicron or Botamilli.

No, Botamilli is also ambiguous. Since she is the god of void and oblivion, she either doesn’t answer most questions or answers that she doesn’t know much because she forgot. I’ll just have to ask Indicron. Indicron is the most talkative among evil gods in my opinion. I heard that Carshinax is the oldest evil god… Maybe that’s why sometimes I even felt like I was crazy because I wanted to tell him something. Of course, my mental power is limited, so I haven’t heard it for a long time.

However, she is an older goddess who has a picky appetite, talks a lot, and wants to take care of me.

‘Oops, another useless thought…’

Maybe it was because I was taking a break for the first time in a while, all sorts of useless thoughts popped into my head. Seeing strange thoughts come to my mind, it seems that now is the time to wake up.

I rubbed my cloudy eyes and barely sat up. Then I looked around.

“Coul… Coul…”

There was Aram, who was dozing off, and Ayla, who was muttering something with her eyes closed as if maintaining a barrier. For some reason, it was a very quiet and solemn atmosphere, so I also kept my mouth shut.

‘Where did Keker and Kessia… And Cheshire go? Could it be… That they scattered again?’

We were still inside the mirror maze. However, since the three of them were nowhere to be seen, I became a bit uneasy. I must have heard the screams of the mirror ghosts before collapsing…

‘I bet they didn’t get scattered while dropping them…’

If so, the answer is really gone. Only Aram and Aram are wearing the necklace, so there is no way to find Cheshire, Kessia, or Keker. I can’t spend ten days here looking for my companions.

If the scattering is correct, in fact, this attack should be regarded as a failure. The only choice is to drink the honey wine and escape.

As I was caressing her head, Ayla, who was meditating, opened her eyes and spoke to me.

“Are you awake?”

“Oh, yes. I just woke up.”

“Thank god. If you don’t wake up, I was going to take special measures.”

“T, special measures..?”

“It’s nothing, so don’t worry about it too much. I’m awake, so there’s nothing to write about.”

It seems that he has no intention of telling us what the special measures are. What the hell was that I just got goosebumps.

“But what about the others? I can’t see Cheshire, Kessia, or Keker…”

When I asked where the rest of the party had gone, Ayla rubbed her eyes as if she was tired. The reaction is not very good, but I wonder if they really scattered..

“Cheshire and Kessia went to the toilet for a while. Will be back soon I found the entrance to the third floor and was waiting for you to wake up.”

“Ah, you already found the entrance on the third floor.”

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to have scattered. It seemed that he was away for a while to solve a physiological phenomenon.

But Cheshire and Kessia understand, but where did Keker go? And I have 10 stigmas, so why is it so peaceful? Are the mirror ghosts no longer appearing because of Ayla’s barrier?

“By the way, where is Keker? And where did the mirror ghosts go?”

At my question, Ayla sighed deeply and explained each one.

“For now, Keker is dead.”

“Yes? That strange toad… Is it dying?”

The toad that used to hang out with Hawaii… It was quite funny to see him chattering, but it seemed like he died while running away from the mirror ghosts. To be honest, I wondered if I would be able to survive until I got out of the basement of the black market.

“Keker, you’re dead.”

“Huh. The beast went out of control and devoured Keker.”

“Huh…”

“Aim, I handed over the stigma that was engraved on your back to Keker in a hurry. As soon as the stigma passed, Keker went out of control and was eaten by a beast. The runaway killing beast… Is probably still fighting the mirror ghosts.”

“They said it would be a master-servant reversal.

The news of Keker’s death made me feel very bad. It’s not that I have sympathy for her for her death or anything like that. Simply because the journey ahead has become a little more difficult.

‘I would have needed it on the 4th floor. To die already…’

Keker’s appearance was so boring, but in terms of his abilities, he was a better talent than Kessia, who looked cute.

In particular, Keker’s Haeju ability was good for dealing with the curses of the storage keepers who would crawl out from the 4th floor. Also, Keker’s detoxification ability seemed to be important in the pipe section on the 3rd floor.

“That’s too bad.”

“Huh. But it was unavoidable.”

I nodded at Ayla’s words. I really couldn’t help it. Yes, Keker sacrificed himself for us. I prayed for Keker’s rest. Then he quietly waited for Cheshire and Kessia to return.

As if Aram was extremely tired, he showed no signs of waking up even while Eila and I were chatting. In order to keep Ayla from being discovered by the mirror ghosts, she put on a silver barrier, so she started meditating again.

As the surroundings became quiet, I began to think a lot.

‘They said the difficulty was high…’

Cheshire was right. The difficulty level of the black market basement was very high. To be honest, if it weren’t for the NPCs Ayla and Cheshire, everyone else, including me, would have died on the first floor. It came this far because Ayla supported her team with all kinds of jewel magic and Cheshire wiped it out with futuristic weapons.

On the 1st floor, I wandered around without hesitation because of the underground guards who crawled out endlessly and the guestbooks of demons engraved everywhere, and on the 2nd floor, the infinitely multiplying mirror ghosts and mirrors that made me lose my sense of direction made my bones hurt. The 1st and 2nd floors are also so difficult, but anyway..

‘What kind of place is the third floor?’

I’m already afraid. I was anxious because I didn’t know when the 1st and 2nd floors would die, but the 3rd floor must be more difficult.

“Oh, June is awake.”

“Cheshire! And… Kessia?”

“Haha.. Lord, Master. Haha. Me, slowly I’m starting to have a hard time holding it back… Heuhuhuhh.”

Cheshire and Kessia are back. Kessiah looked around her and scratched her arm as if she couldn’t resist the urge. It’s itchy, so I’m not scratching it. You’re tearing your flesh out.

“Turn it off!!!!!”

“Shh. Don’t open your mouth have to be quiet That’s right. Don’t be loud. Shh..”

When the urge grows, I can act unexpectedly. I first gagged her and then slammed her ceremonial dagger into her shoulder. Then he dug open the wound. He groaned and blood gushed from the open wound. Kessia put on a satisfied expression as she treated her with the filling flesh before pouring out more precious blood.

“Whoa. Fuck.”

As I sighed, frowning in blood, Cheshire stroked my head.

“Cheshire…”

“Hehe.. That toad… Is gone.”

“Yes.. I heard.”

“The meaty beast was expensive, but it’s a shame. That, a talent enhancer? That too.”

“Iknow, right. I haven’t even hit my fair share yet, and I never dreamed that I would lose like this already.”

Cheshire is right. It really is a huge loss.

The 68,000 Keker purchased at twice the price, the 90,000-coin meat beast, and the frozen edible human pet purchased as Keker’s cannibal urge suppressor with an endless urge.

I don’t know how much I lost because of Keker’s death. In terms of losses alone, I was almost bankrupt now.

‘There are not many zombies near the base anymore, and there are no field bosses, so it’s getting hard to get points…’

If I can’t save Cheshire after suffering this much damage, I might collapse with a bubble in my mouth. Anger grew more than the worry and worry caused by Keker’s death.

“Then let’s go down and see.”

“Aram, wake up. Let’s move.”

“Huh..? Sup. Huh.”

Even Aram, who is faithfully fulfilling his role as an air purifier, has awakened. We moved a little further, getting ready to go down again.

Then, a room with a hole in the floor appeared with all the mirrors broken.

“Whoa. See you downstairs.”

Cheshire was the first to enter the third floor. Then Aram and Kessia jumped in at about the same time, and Ayla and I also jumped into the hole.

Fortunately, this time it wasn’t a black figure or anything strange coming along.

There was only the screaming of something resembling Keker’s voice.

******

“Haha…”

Corridors flooded with black water and ectoplasm that flowed from the mirror ghost.

The mirrors on all four sides were all broken, and the corpses of mirror ghosts that had been crushed and torn were scattered everywhere.

And among the corpses of those mirror ghosts, a being breathing heavily stood alone.

“Come on, dizzy… Ha…”

The killing beast that was fused with Keker picked up one of the dying mirror ghosts and twisted it like weaving a rag.

– Fuhak.

“Keeeee…!!!”

The mirror ghost’s death. The fleshy beast sucked in and drank the flowing ectoplasm. I felt a bit thirsty.

“Whoa. Are you done now? Are you not coming out anymore? I want you to give me a straight answer.”

The beast asked at the broken mirror.

Silent answer. There was no answer.

All the marks that had already been engraved on the body of the beast were gone. It was a body impervious to curses. Because it was already wrapped in all sorts of curses.

“Then… I’ll be off to find the prey I missed.”

The beast chased the scent of the target as it trampled over the corpses.

He swallowed the toad that made him his servant, but the toad’s owner was different.

I couldn’t sleep without eating my master’s master.

The slaughter beast traced his aim while stroking his hungry stomach.

Forcing your stomach to soothe your hunger.
