Chapter 935 – How Long?

We supported the other groups as we retreated. It would be better to discuss retreating together anyway. As expected, the other groups were also fighting the Minotaurs fucking hard.

Of course, since I joined, it was dog shit.

Still, the Ascetic Warriors were doing a good job, but it is said that they used a tactic of repeating clinging to the Minotaur’s attack on purpose. That is to say, taking advantage of a gap between a colleague and being beaten, he clings to him and stabs his neck and eyes, but a good boy with a small head cannot cope with such an evil tactic.

After all, they are crazy masochists, so they fight well.
Gathering the people together, they returned to the starting point.

“Saints…! Oh, everyone came up together.”
“Yeah. It didn’t take long. Everyone was fighting.”
“Is that so!”

Elise grabbed her head with both of her hands as if in shock. After all, it was the moment when it was proved that Minotaurs were full of people down here.

“Once there are groups that went to the back! They’ll be fighting like us, so we’ll have to support them!”

Because it was a straight passage, we split into two teams and went to the front and back. You have to support them.

“Kat. Are you going?”
“Uh. But it won’t be long this time either. Go up first.”
“Huh…Then I will.”

There are so many paladins, so there is no need to work hard.

“Risha.”
“…Then I’ll go up first with Cloudy.”
“Yes. Do it. The two of you are up.”

Risha will need some time to organize her thoughts of her. I don’t know why they’re doing this now, but I’ll let you know when it’s time to sleep.

It was Cloudy who carried Lisa on her back.

ㅡPay!

I jumped a few meters lightly, grabbed the rope, and used the strength of her arms her to shoot her body her upwards and escaped in one go.

The Paladins were simply setting up a strategy, so I waited with Elise for a while.

“Then let’s go!!”
“Ohhhhh!!”

So, along with the Paladins, he went down to support the group that went to the rear.

*           *

“Thank you so much, Paladin! To have such skills despite being so young…! The future of the church seems so bright!!”
“To slaughter the Minotaur so easily! That’s amazing!”
“This is something we old people can’t compete with!!!”

The Paladins who received support expressed their gratitude to me.

The situation was the same here, and the battle ended very quickly as soon as I left.

Haha!! Thank you!!!”

After slaughtering about 10 minotaurs in total, they retreated together and came up to the ground. Of course, all the corpses of the people he hunted this time were also pulled up.

This will be a valuable resource.

“Okay then, let’s start the meeting quickly.”

After coming to the ground, we cleaned up the bodies and went straight to the barracks to hold a meeting. The discovery of these enemies is very serious, so we must take action right away.

“I think we’ll have to change our strategy. The power of the Minotaur is overwhelming.”
“Yeah, it looked like my joints were going to go out after being hit by that fist.
“Shuyiik. I think we will be able to carry out future operations only when we minimize combat losses. We shouldn’t overdo it. I recommend going with stability.”

Paladins and Crusaders each gave their opinions.

“Certainly. For now, rather than researching the identity of the dungeon, I think it’s better to move towards subjugating the Minotaur. You’ll have to subdue them all before you can research.”

This was the commander’s opinion, and everyone nodded.

“Then, I think it’s better not to divide the team into small pieces, but to use only two teams and deal with the Minotaurs as a group. That’s enough to be able to stably defeat them. I can win.”

The deputy commander said that with a serious face.

Certainly the Minotaur was tricky, so the Paladins couldn’t catch it well, but they could still kill it. In fact, when I went to support, there was a team that had already killed the Minotaur and cleaned up the body.

In any case, if the three paladins fight, it will take some time, but no one can catch it without getting seriously hurt.

But what if more minotaurs appeared?
Dangerous.

So it’s better to just go as a group than to split the troops.

“Then, I’ll put the exploration in the background and focus on subjugation for now.”
“Shhhhh. I see.”
“I think you’d better do that.”

So it was concluded.
Rather than exploration, subjugation.

“What about Paladin?”

The commanding officer asked me for my opinion.
I don’t need to be involved in subjugation.

Because you can easily kill yourself.

“I don’t know when I’ll be able to kill all the Minotaurs, so I’ll do my own exploration for now.”

I may do some exploration.

“Hmm… That’ll be fine. Then we’ll be running a subjugation team, so go down as little as you can and give us information about the exploration. That will be of great help as well.”

Permission was granted.

“If it’s a paladin, you can trust it!”
“Say if you need support!”

The Paladins patted me on the back.

“Well, then we’ll start fighting in earnest, so we’ll have to distribute supplies.”

Having said that, the commander called those outside, and soon they came with several large vessels. ㅡ rattle. The things put in the box were holy water and various things.

“These are artifacts that exert their power by infusing holy water and holy power.”

Various items came out of the box, and the Paladins began distributing them. I focused on the explanation.

“Now, and this is an artifact obtained by killing monsters while exploring dungeons in the past… Let Paladin use it.”
“This?”

It was a golden circlet kept in a small box filled with holy water. There was a jewel embedded in the forehead.

“It’s a circlet that glows in the dark. If you have it, you don’t have to worry about the light even if you enter a dark dungeon. You can charge it by immersing it in holy water, but the duration lasts in units of weeks, so don’t worry and use it.”

Write this for me!!

“This, you lend me something like this!!! Thank you!!!! You will be able to explore very easily!!!”
“Use it well. The light drives away evil spirits, so sometimes it is used to cover it with a thick cloth.”
“I’ll understand it well!!”

Then, the distribution of materials was completed.
I was given a circlet and several bottles of holy water.

“We should have the theologians study the Minotaur’s corpse first.”
“You will need a lot of data.”
“There’s a lot of work to do.”

The meeting ended, and I went outside. Now that you’ve got the holy water and the circlet, you should be able to go down to the depths very easily.

“Saints! It’s an ancient artifact! It’s an artifact from the era before the idol war!”

Elise, who followed me, shouted as if she was moved.

“Ohhh, is it?”
“At that time, there was a lot of superior magic technology and engineering technology than now, so in these ancient dungeons, artifacts with performance that cannot even be compared with today are often found! That’s what it is!”
“This is true.”

It’s something worth making money for.
Well, that’s what normal dungeons are all about.

Either you go down to find something like this and you die, or you come out with something in your hands.

It’s usually business like that.

“I think that would make navigation much easier!”
“Certainly…But Elise. What about you? Can we stick together this time?”
“That’s… I think we should talk about it first.”

ㅡElise!

At that time, the Ascetic Warriors called Elise.

“It’s finally calling! Then saints! I’ll see you tomorrow!”
“Yes, yes! See you tomorrow!”

I went right back to my inn.

“Are you back?”

As soon as I went, Lisa came up to me.

“Oh, what is that?”
“What kind of ancient artifact is this?”

I just gave an explanation for this.

“Huh-huh, you borrowed something good. Those artifacts have great research value, but you can’t touch borrowed things carelessly. Now, let’s hurry up and have a meal.”
“Okay.”

Risha seemed to be in a good mood… Well, if something happens, she’ll tell me later. I immediately informed them of this story.

*           *

ㅡPachichichik!!

Lisha’s black lightning struck, and the arm of the Minotaur that was struck by it exploded and tore off.

ㅡQuooooo!!!!

It was truly devastating power.

That strong Minotaur was incapacitated in a single shot. The guy who had lost his arm his screamed and resisted, but he fell down after receiving a direct hit in the chest from Risha’s second attack that followed.

“This works really well? It’s amazing every time I see it.”
“Huh, that’s right? It didn’t work well for the Spirit King and the Monster King.”

When I said it, Cloudy replied with a smile.

“Every race has different characteristics. It seems clear that the Minotaur is vulnerable to black magic.”
“It really does look like that.”

Certainly, the Minotaurs could not be Lisha’s opponents, probably because they were vulnerable to black magic. Compared to other powerful monsters whose magic defense was so strong, Risha’s attacks were to the point where they couldn’t stand the pulse.

The exploration went very smoothly.

Upstairs, the Paladins were divided into two teams to subdue the Minotaurs, and we continued to descend underground for the purpose of exploration.

Today is just the second day and it seemed to be going very well.

He wanted to be with Elise, but this time he said that he would have to subdue people of the same denomination. No matter how much it is, if you stick to me, you will feel sorry for the people of the same church.

No wonder.

Well, and bright light is emanating from the circlet on my head. Minotaurs were very effective because they saw this light and covered their eyes.

“But Lisa. Do you know a little about that black aura?”

—-Stop.

“…”

At my question, Lisa hesitated for a moment.
And then he licked his lips once.

“Well… I don’t know if she’s the first woman.”

She answered slowly.

“But don’t point out that there are many things you don’t know!”
Hehe, I’m not like that.”

The black aura that the Minotaur wore around his arm was different from the one used by demons or pagans. Even when I look at it, I can feel its disparate power. I had never seen anything like it.

Anyway, while killing the Minotaurs, we continued to find a way down and went underground.

“Oh my, where is this place?”

In the meantime, we entered some huge pupils. After going down the long stairs, this place came out. The ceiling is high and the space is very wide on both sides. There are also several pillars that look sturdy.

It literally looked like a hall accommodating a large number of people.

“What’s so wide?”

And there must be something in a place like this.

ㅡJiying.

Scary to think so, a red-eyed light emanated from the other side. We naturally prepared for battle… What? One eye light?

“Why one?”

ㅡKooung.
ㅡ kung.
ㅡ kung.

With the sound of loud footsteps coming soon, I realized why only one eye light had appeared.

“Kuuuuu…!!!”
“Cheap.”

That.

“It’s Cyclops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

It was Cyclops, a legendary monster with only one big eye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was only one huge, ominously sparkling eye, and it was stuck right in the middle of the face!!!

But I don’t have a nose!!!

No nose, just a mouth that was bizarrely torn under the eyes!!!! No matter how pretty the red mask is, if you have a mouth like that, you’ll never be able to hear people say you’re pretty!!!!!

Above all, the body bigger than the Minotaur seemed to see the most extremely polished human body!!! It’s crazy muscle!!! But decisively, there was no penis, and above all, the skin was gray!!!!!

“One eye!!!!!!!!!!”

The legend of the one-eyed man appeared in the two-eyed village…!!!! One-eyed was always asshole trash! However, as much as I have lived while being treated like that, I have terrible hatred and destructive power!!! Thus, the one-eyed ones slaughter the two-eyed ones (modern humans – Homo sapiens sapiens) while venting their resentment from being persecuted!!!!!!

The most horrifying ancient record proves it!!!!!!

When I remembered that hellish story, I couldn’t help but scream immediately.

“This is not real, but jaaaaa”

It was such a terrifying sight that I couldn’t come to my senses!!!! A crazed fear gripped my heart, and I had no choice but to grab and pull out the Bugal with a desperate scream!!!

ㅡThe worst kind of fear strikes my brain!!

I’m so scared…!!!!

It’s a terrible fear! I was so scared I was literally going crazy! I can feel it very clearly that my mind is being split so finely that I can no longer stay sane!!!!

“Teree Eeng!!!!!!!!”

However, a strong soul throws the most ideal solution even at such a moment.

If you’re scared
If you are scared!!!!

I just need to get rid of that scary existence!!!

“I want to get rid of it quickly because I’m scared!!!!!!!!!!”

One eyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kill them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
