Chapter 425 – 425. Entering the Catacombs
After forcibly reviving Nicole and Charles, Mer and Hilde finally sat down and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
“Is he alive?”
“You are hiding. The arms and eyes can’t do anything now. You have to put on a new one.”
“Hmm… I’m just glad I didn’t die. With this much damage, I can’t imagine how Aim will react.”
“… Me too. Because the master loves his woman. To be honest, I can’t afford it. I’m counting on you.”
“What? Hey, are you telling me to shoulder all the responsibility for this incident?”
“No, I am the master’s slave and you are a colleague. Isn’t there a difference in status? You can cover it up a little bit, but you’re wearing that kind of expression. Did I ask you to die instead? Is it such a difficult request to be scolded instead of me?”
“No..! As a nominal slave! Don’t take out the slave shield! And when I saw you eating dragon meat in front of me, I sensed that you weren’t human babies! You will never die alone! Let’s get scolded together!”
“No way. Hilde, don’t get excited, calm down. Still, a slave is a slave. I’m in a different situation than you, Hilde. If the master dies, he must die. So take care of me, Hilde.”
“This… You bitch! But I want to get out!”
Hilde raises her voice and Mer closes her eyes.
The corpses scattered around them all at once burned to ashes.
“Haaa. I don’t even have the strength to fight.”
By burning her corpse, Hilde, who released a thousand fires in one turn, sighed deeply and sat down next to her Mer.
It has already been rolled to the limit. If you fight needlessly with Mer here, one of you will be fatally injured. If it’s a strong person like two people, it’s a fatal wound even if you fight as a joke.
Above all, Jang Jo-joon does not tolerate fights, ostracism, and bullying by female members. The reason why I was paying special attention to Yewon Kim was because she seemed to be on the outside.
Although they do not touch each other in detail as to what they are thinking, Jo-Jun Jang will never stand still in case of visible bullying or conflict.
In front of Jang Jo-jun, you should create peace or harmony. That was the unspoken rule among women.
Even if you can’t care for each other sincerely in a serious sense, don’t be sincere. No one has yet broken this.
And not to mention Mer, who was usually in charge of reconciling discord or relationships between women, and Hilde, who openly covered Kim Ye-won, who was the most out of her, in the name of Helgen, did not want this balance to collapse.
Also, from an objective point of view, only the women Jang Jo-joon touched are now in double digits. Not everyone can get along.
In addition, since Mer and Hilde were the eldest, they had to be more careful about their actions. It was the same for Hilde, who was entrusted with the security of her residence, as well as Mer, who was the most trusted by Jang Jo-jun.
The two worked and moved that much more because they were favored by Jang Jo-jun to some extent.
“Anyway, it’s not my fault.”
“It may not be our fault. There was no way, what should I do?”
“That’s right. There is no way to openly change the causal rate.”
“Let’s go back for now.”
“Are you going to carry this woman?”
“I will.”
Mer carried Charles on her back and Hilde hugged Nicole.
Nicole and Charles were almost like meeting each other for the first time. It was because they were hostile until Jo-Jun Jang subdued Nicole and Charles in Hell.
I could see it as a relationship that was no different from other people. However, Jo-jun Jang gave the order to bring it, so he just obeyed.
“I won’t be able to touch it easily this time.”
“It should be. There are two players A direct attack would be against the rules.”
The two carried the still unconscious patient on their back and flew to Paris.
I was thinking of going back to Paris and taking a plane to America. This is because long-distance, long flights are exhausting.
Above all, the two of them have already spent more than a day in the air.
In fact, the two should have met within five hours of Nicole and Charles’ escape from Charleroi.
In a word, he should have met Jang Jo-joon when he was attacking the black market confinement area.
However, they did not meet until Monday.
They should have met at least on Sunday, but there was a gap of more than one day.
Around the time Jang Jo-jun entered the Forest of Corruption, that is, he was only rescued at dawn on Monday.
“I think we should refrain from going around together from now on.”
“I guess so. I didn’t know you could hit it like this.”
“Should we say that we were looking for a loophole… Or should we say that we were too complacent?”
It was also a loophole, and it was also complacent.
First of all, Merhere El Sariel and Bruennhilde are not ‘players’.
This is the important part.
As soon as destruction began, direct intervention of God became difficult by the management.
In particular, it is virtually impossible to directly attack or check the players, that is, the awakened ones.
If this is violated, the causal law will backfire, and in order to intervene, an absurd amount of causal law must be replaced.
It was unimaginable to directly touch the player as a pantheon with the placenta of the causal law already taken away and the pillars half pulled out.
Nevertheless, in order to intervene directly with the ‘player’, it is necessary to consume an unimaginable causal rate.
This is a loophole. In a word, beings who are not recognized as players, that is, unawakened beings, are springs with virtually no defense against the direct attacks of the gods.
Of course, it rarely happened that God intervened against an insignificant bug-like human being who hadn’t even awakened, but it’s also not nonexistent.
For example, the fact that there were several waves of zombies rushing into Jang Jo-jun’s forces in the beginning was not a direct target for Jang Jo-jun.
It only targeted many of Jang Jo-jun’s slaves who had not awakened. This can also be seen as a way to reduce the consumption of causality.
Anyway, as I said earlier, Mer and Hilde were not players, so they were severely punished yesterday.
Hilde was not a player from the beginning, and in the case of Mer, she had the qualifications of a player through an account creation card when she was brought as a slave, but she resurrected Sataniel and completely opened the sealed Halo. And had to abandon the player’s qualifications.
Therefore, the two said that the Pantheon, which had a large loss of causality, was just the right target.
Even tying them up in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean was a very good ploy, since tying them up could rob Nicholas of his luck.
Even this lacked causality, so I decided to discard the nous, but I couldn’t help it.
In order to provide direct help to Nous, who is fighting the player Jo-Jun Jang, he has to shake off the causality of the World Tree.
Anyway, Mer and Hilde were spinning around in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It fell into the trap of the giant god incorporated into the pantheon.
It is difficult for a mortal to defy the power of a god. No matter how much Mer and Hilde flew and crawled, they were also far from gods in the end.
This is something you can tell just by looking at Nous, who is now in a dying state from a single tentacle. Because the power of God in this world is absolute.
“I’m sick of the disaster gods not helping me.”
“Something must be wrong. Let’s not doubt them. He always… Had a will.”
Before long, Mer and Hilde returned to Paris. Soon they will be able to return to base.
******
By the time Jang Jo-jun robbed the forest of corruption and the rescue team was returning to Paris with Nicole and Charles, Lee Eun-ji and Lee Eun-ha, the first team to attack the catacombs, entered a narrow resting place in a dark underground tomb and took a breath.
“Sister, are you okay?”
“Uh. I can bear it.”
“Whoa. Thank god.”
“I know. But here it is wider than I thought.”
The Catacombs were an underground labyrinth as huge as the Forest of the Missing.
The further down you go, the more powerful enemies pop out. Above all, there were countless Chinese people inside.
Yes, the forest of the missing and a familiar situation unfolded. Because the population was so large, there were still many people even if they died in a disaster.
Moreover, the catacombs were in a very turbulent state right now, as all the leaderns, similar to him, had entered here.
All the survivors were crawling in and doing all sorts of nonsense.
There were an absurd number of people who came in looking for compensation.
No matter how difficult the world is, those who survive will survive. There were still survivors in places other than Korea and the eastern part of the Labyrinth, where Jang Jo-jun was mainly active.
“Eunha. Shh.”
“Ah, yes.”
Lee Eun-ji, who was bandaging his arm, blocked Lee Eun-ha from speaking. Eunji Lee, a shadow hannya, used her heightened senses to sense the presence of approaching enemies in advance.
In response, Lee Eun-ha, a Curse Doll, opened her mouth and pulled out her raw slime.
“Two in the right corner.”
“Okay.”
Soon, at her command, the slime climbed up the wall and up to the ceiling.
As it fell, it wrapped around the Chinese survivor’s head and suffocated her, and Lee Eun-ji threw Bido at the person standing next to her.
“Processing complete.”
“Let’s cut our throats.”
“Huh.”
If they died inside the catacombs, they became undead in almost 30 seconds and resurrected, so the two hurriedly pulled out the heads of the dead Chinese and destroyed their heads.
If it ends with his head being cut off, he will wake up as Dyurahan. It doesn’t end with cutting off the head to prevent zombies from being born.
It is natural to cut it off, and even after cutting it off, the head had to be destroyed before it became a Dyurahan.
This is the abandoned tomb of the old king, the catacombs.
All kinds of humans and undead undead were mingling and fighting.
