Chapter 303 – 303. Hunt Runaway Slaves

Me and Croy managed to escape the beasts and sneaked into the underground tunnel. A few of them chased after us, but the entrance was so narrow that we couldn’t get inside.

Moreover, as if it wasn’t enough to eat just the two of us, they dug a few times before moving to another place.

“Ha.. I lived..”

-Koo-goo-goo-goo…

Tens of thousands of super-sized beasts are running overhead. Maybe that’s why the underground shaft shuddered and dust rose. I can’t break this…

“Turn it off… It’s dizzy…”

“Why?”

“It’s been a while since I flew…”

“Hey, I heard you used to fly around with wings?”

“That was also 10 years ago… I’ve been walking around ever since I received the soul alteration procedure… Woowook…”

“Aha.. Uh uh. Hey don’t vomit dirty.”

“I never vomit.. It’s a waste of bread..”

Croy complains of dizziness after a long flight. I left her alone and went deeper into her tunnels. Because Dodoji told us the location of the pillars, we were able to navigate without difficulty at the fork in the road.

Also, when using the modified sight with the dragon’s eye on, it can be seen better than any night vision goggles. Even though there was no light, I could clearly see the inside of the cave.

“Wait, wait…! Master! Come with me!”

“Follow me quickly.”

“Oh, I see.. Hey… Can you hold my hand..?”

“What? Why.”

“Oh, I can’t see…”

“Ha..”

I had no choice but to hold Croy’s hand. It was a mechanical hand, so I felt a cold touch.

“Oh, thank you..”

“It’s okay.”

Croy bowed his head. We have moved forward for such a long time. There was no particular reason for continuing to advance through the underground tunnels. It’s just to pass the time. As soon as they came in, they occupied the pillar and tried to find out what the situation was like in the city.

[Escape possible after 16 hours and 42 minutes]

Above all, I still have quite a lot of time left. So, I want to do something before I go back. It’s because of Kim who came all the way here.

‘If I escape from here, it will be the black market again…?’

Once I escape in about 17 hours, I’ll be back on the black market. I will go back to the same place I came in.

‘I don’t know if the battle would have ended in one day…’

Judging from the situation going back, it seemed like it would take at least two or three days. As much as that, Hilde and Sieg were engaged in a close battle with the children of the Dragon King.

‘Where are Killian and Henry? Are Poacher Daddy still alive? I’m worried about Cheshire and Mer too.. I want to see Ail too..’

Judging from the fact that the summons of Kysilia and Anax have not yet been lifted, it seems that they are still catching and killing dragons…

‘Because the distance is too far, the experience points don’t come to Kisilia and Anax…’

Because the dimension itself is different, it seems that the experience is not coming in. It’s a little disappointing, but since there are as many as 3 levels eaten with thongs, I think this is enough.

‘Come to think of it… I was supposed to spend time with Yewon when I get back from the black market… Eunji and Hwayoung are the same…’

I was worried because there were a lot of things I left behind in many ways. The current visit to Mugan Hell is like a kind of side quest. I am in a situation where I ran away from the main quest of occupying the black market and hid in hell.

‘That bastard Lamech must have gotten out of the middle with a high probability…’

The problem is the fight between Sieg and Hilde that will take place after all battles are over. To me, both of them were almost the same, but in terms of energy alone, Zeke was a little stronger.

If the two start fighting to the death, Zeke has a slightly better chance of winning.

‘I can’t let Hilde die right now… But it’s a pity…’

I don’t know what happened between the two.. I’m not sure if it’s simply because of Zeke’s hunting urge, but losing Hilde is a painful mistake.

To be honest, it’s because Hilde, who belongs to Manmajeon, who can be said to be on my side, is much more valuable than Zeke, who adheres to a neutral position.

‘Be neutral…’

It reminded me of being a neutral person, but the merchants who originally traded with Nick stopped coming to the eastern camp, except for the peddler. There must have been an arms dealer or a jeweler that Nick had contracted with, but for some reason they all disappeared.

‘He must have left after Nick.

I’m not particularly sorry I had already signed an exclusive contract with Ayla—a contract between a man and a woman called sex—and made it mine, and I hadn’t even met the weapon dealer properly, but it didn’t matter.

Well, there is no need to pay tens of thousands of coins to buy something like a magic sword.

‘By the way, I can’t even use the auction house.. It’s frustrating.. Should I take out a dragon’s heart…’

First of all, he devastated hell to get rid of the horns as well, but it was more devastated than expected, so it was ambiguous to wander around as he pleased.

‘No.. Because the beasts are waking up.. I thought they were just walking around like a hundred..’

I thought it was just strong beasts roaming around and hunting criminals because they said they bit all the sinners, but I didn’t know that the number of real sinners would crawl out. If I had known this would happen, I would not have blown the trumpet without thinking.

‘How much did she take care of that bitch…’

If Anna is a saint, then she is a saint. Clearly she must have been crazy.

“Ah.. Master..”

“Huh. I am feeling it.”

Chroy grabs my shoulder and tells me that something is coming. However, before she informed me, I had already noticed their presence with a predator’s sense of smell.

– You’re going here, right?

-The wind blows this way. Follow me at once

-Fuck… That sound from earlier… Isn’t it going round and round?

– I’m suspicious too. Just keep listening!

-Hey you fucking bastards. Just shut up and follow me! It’s right to win!

Flickering lights. Several criminals were walking through the underground tunnel. Maybe it’s the guys who escaped from the city. That would mean that the City of Pillars has already been razed to the ground.

“Croy.”

“Huh..?”

“I’m falling behind.”

“Ah, I see…”

I sent behind me from Croy. It would be very painful if Croy, whose sight is impossible to secure, steps out from the side and hits me. So it’s better to put it away beforehand so it doesn’t get in the way.

‘It’s better for me to rampage in a narrow place..’

You can fill the corridors with tentacles, or combine Abyss Maw with Corrupted Breath to summon Corrupted Maw and spray poison gas at them.

‘Come…’

The lights got closer and closer.

******

Five slaves who stabbed each other to death and escaped down a mine.

Oni with reddish-brown skin, giants with wolf heads, rat-men with pathetic appearances, dwarves with curly noses, and nobles without one ear.

Composed of various races, they were looking for an exit to the underground tunnel with torches and machetes.

“Sniff sniff. Hey… Wait a minute…”

“Why? What else?”

“There’s something… Ahead of me…”

“Something? What do you have?”

“Smell… Sniff… The smell of birds… Sniff… The fishy smell of baby lizards… Damn… They look like they came in from outside…?”

“What? Outside?”

“This place is like an anthill, so there are multiple entrances and exits.. Probably not only the city, but the entire neighborhood was devastated..”

“Then..”

“There must be at least a few hundred people who have run away?”

“How many, hundreds…?”

“Everybody got their weapons.”

“If it’s a machete, there is..”

Looking at the dwarf holding up a knife, the wolf giant frowned.

He was unreliable with Young and his friends. He was the kind of guy who wouldn’t care about the lives of others and would drop them into the pit for the sake of his own life.

“Haa.. Hey, let’s not really fucking betray each other. If you get caught by other guys anyway, you’ll be dog food..”

“Ah, I see…”

“Okay..”

Though not very trustworthy, he assumed that he would not betray easily because there was still a threat from the outside, so he headed for a more smelly place. It was a way to attack first before the opponent noticed.

“Huh?”

Then something wrapped around his ankle. At this, the wolf giant looked down, and there were countless tentacles underneath that were all over the floor before he knew it.

“Oh, no!!!”

-Foohwaak!!!!

In an instant, tentacles wrapped around the werewolf twisted his limbs.

In addition, the tentacle of the blade pierced the leg of the dwarf who was trying to run away, and pierced both shoulders of the nobleman who tried to stop it with a knife.

The oni was already caught and strangled, and the rat-man who tried to escape first inhaled the polluted breath of the abyssmaw and collapsed.

“Ahhh..”

The nobles looked at the man approaching them. His face seemed to have been deliberately distorted so that he could not see it. The horror of the mosaic-like appearance gave goosebumps to the nobles. It’s all blurry, so it’s hard to remember.

“You. Are you from the city?”

Jojun Jang asked with his dragon face flashing. No one answered this, but he didn’t really care.

“Well, if I lose, I will answer. Then, who should I enslave first?”

He drew a knife

If he was killed on the spot, he would surely be reborn, and then others could find out that he was inside the mine. That’s why Jojun Jang was thinking of making them slaves instead of killing them.

Those who were finally freed from slavery after several decades suddenly became slaves of Jang Jo-jun today.
