Chapter 350 – 30. A Dungeon Called the Abyss
Han Si-woo looks straight at the burning corpse tyrant.
-Quaaaaa…? ? !!
He rolled his eyes and quickly looked around.
Although they were able to secure victory thanks to the unity and persistence of the entire expedition team and the necromancer Gwen, the situation was not all that good. It is said that half of the undead turned into the tyrant’s enemies, but that only takes into account their numbers.
‘I thought the loyalty would be strong enough to be buried with a tyrant, but was it this much?’
Only ⅓ of the previously targeted death knights turned their backs.
The remaining undead are more likely to have escaped control, but they are all at the level of miscellaneous people.
At best, they are at a mid-level undead level and can never reach the level of a death knight.
Moreover, the morale emitted by the corpse tyrant does not provide a buff to the turned undead.
Gwen, who needs to strengthen them, is having a hard time just fighting for dominance with the corpse tyrant.
Aside from his skills as a necromancer, it was because this was the territory of a tyrant.
‘In the end, we have to finish quickly.’
In terms of time, it is approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
The decisive battle with the corpse tyrant had to be completed within it.
Otherwise, you will definitely be surrounded by the corpse tyrant’s undead.
Of course, even if that happens, the entire expedition will not be defeated.
In the rear, there are Han So-young and Scarlett who are supporting them reliably.
‘Maybe with these two, subjugation will be possible.’
Han So-young has not had a short period of time since retirement, but she has improved her condition by steadily conquering dungeons for several months. Because she was so broken during her retirement, she is still not as strong as she was in her prime, but she is still strong.
In addition to the two swords she mainly uses, she also has a secret sword.
If Scarlett uses her full power as a vampire, she can fight as well as Han So-young.
‘There is no defeat. But.’
I didn’t bring these two people along just to achieve such a sloppy result.
The reason we stayed with the two was to prepare for the worst and to ensure that no one on the expedition died.
In order to achieve proper results in the name of the Han Siwoo Clan, they had to defeat the tyrant with their own strength. Even if it is announced by the Holy Empire, there may be people who do not believe it, but even if that is not the case, the expedition team must gain experience.
“Good.”
Siwoo shouted, raising the sword in his hand high.
“Carry out the plan! All expedition members attack according to the designated rotation!”
When concentrating firepower on the boss monster, that is, the corpse tyrant, we naturally decided in advance how to attack.
The enemy’s information may have been unknown, but the assumption that the tyrant was undead came from the time of interpreting the text and pictures. Thanks to this, the meeting was longer than the break, but it was worth it.
Pubububung!!
Kwaang… !!
Thud! Kuung─!!
-Kaaaaa… ! These guys… ! Ugh, this guy—!!
The corpse tyrant was beaten unilaterally by the ceaseless onslaught.
From the very beginning, he was a man who had no power whatsoever.
A tyrant who built up notoriety and brought down the country through power, not force.
The necromancy and magic for resurrection currently installed in this tomb are merely created by hiring a wizard with goods taken from the national treasury. He knows how to use magic a little, but he is not yet skilled enough to use his new power freely.
Han Si-woo recognized that point right away.
“Okay! Don’t leave any room like this and attack!”
He was concentrating on analyzing the situation, and at some point, he gave command in informal language instead of polite manner.
Han So-young smiled happily as she looked at her son from behind.
In her opinion, conquering this dungeon was a great experience for the entire clan.
Not only are you accumulating achievements, but your overall skills are also gradually accumulating.
Especially Han Si-woo, the clan master and leader of the expedition.
There hasn’t been a single direct battle in 15 days, but I can see his talent as a commander blooming.
Siwoo cannot be said to have any talent for the sword, but his military skills are more than faithful. If he had learned military techniques and tactics from a young age, he would have been a great general in any country.
‘The person who has grown the most through this expedition is not anyone else, but our son.’
How much more will it grow in the future?
Han So-young, who could already be said to have stopped growing, looked at Si-woo and the clan members with joy.
‘Oh, cut off the arm of the guy next to me first.’
Suddenly.
Of course, we don’t forget to control the ego sword and weaken the enemy.
On the contrary, Scarlett started watching after Gwen took control of half of the undead.
But she was equally admiring.
Not just for Siu, but for the entire expedition.
‘You fight well.’
She also has good eyes.
I watched the expedition’s battles hundreds of times over the course of 15 days.
Even to Scarlett, the improvement in the skills of the entire expedition team was noticeable.
‘I don’t think that woman who started to smell like semen was just because of Yang Gi.’
Aside from running wild among the Death Knights, she thought she would also fight against the Corpse Tyrant. No, she decided that a situation would come where she would have to step forward.
However, the expedition team fought better than expected.
“Hmm.”
-Big!
Kwasik!
The Vampire Princess laughed as she smashed the undead that was charging at her with her great sword.
‘It’s fun.’
Even while the two women were laughing curiously, the corpse tyrant continued to be attacked.
My left arm was already torn at the shoulder and in tatters.
Even though he is undead, even one side of his vision appears blurry.
‘Why, why… !!’
The tyrant was not convinced.
He himself is an emperor.
But why is it being pushed back so much?
Why are we being treated so painfully and one-sidedly?
Are the hundreds and thousands of undead crammed into this space unable to do anything?
– Resentment, shame… ! You guys… ! This world… ! I feel resentful… !!
“What…?!”
With the cries of the corpse tyrant, the undead began to collapse.
It didn’t just fall down, it turned into dust and dirt and fell to the floor.
And the magic power of death residing within it gathered into the corpse tyrant.
Even the undead who turned away from the tyrant.
“Gwen!”
“Ugh…! Sorry! I can’t control it either!”
“Ha, is it the final phase?”
“It seems like the magic spread here was intended for this purpose!”
Siwoo listened to her words and nodded.
I don’t know if this was the corpse tyrant’s true intention, but at least I was certain that this situation was not very good.
They are still attacking, and you can see that the Corpse Tyrant is growing bigger than before. In an instant, my head hit the ceiling, and I was twisting my body.
“Everyone stops the attack first! Change the name of the operation to BB!”
A tactic that takes into account the possibility that the resurrected tyrant is a large or very large undead.
I thought it wouldn’t be needed, but it ended up being used unexpectedly.
-Grrrr—!!
The expedition dispersed to avoid the attack of the corpse tyrant, who stopped talking.
Of course, the formation was maintained.
To block an attack that looks powerful at first glance, a spread formation is better.
-Yeah! Wow!!
“After all, things like gigantism inevitably lead to loss of reason.”
Siwoo muttered as he looked at the corpse tyrant who had started going crazy.
Is it because the fraud has reached my brain, or is my mind unable to withstand the sudden force?
It doesn’t matter either way.
The fact that that monster has lost its mind means that it has become much easier to deal with.
The downside is that this space can collapse if a giant tyrant goes on a rampage, that is, there is a time limit. But this is the same as before. Anyway, the point is that you have to defeat it as quickly as possible.
“This is the last battle of this expedition!”
The expedition team faced a massive, slow-moving corpse tyrant.
The end of the dungeon attack was approaching.
The center of the twine hanging in a square shape.
A woman on her knees in the middle opened her eyes.
“…”
Unlike usual, she was sitting blankly even though her eyes were open.
Howie felt puzzled by her appearance and asked.
“Madam? Why are you doing this? Is there some problem…?”
“Oh, no.”
“Then…”
“It looks like a guest is coming. A very precious guest who will guide us in the right direction.”
“Huh? This is the right direction…”
The guard frowned at the shaman’s words.
Doesn’t it sound like it’s not correct now?
The people here were not inferior in loyalty and pride to their country to the famous Cheonan Empire.
In particular, the guards are members of the Central Agency who are strictly selected. Her shaman’s words sounded very sad to her. If it weren’t for the shaman who said this, she would have pulled out the sword from her waist right now.
Still, even the subject ‘we’ wasn’t clear.
“Miko. Your current wisdom is…”
“I don’t know.”
“Um, excuse me.”
The escort apologized to the shaman who spoke clearly before asking.
The shaman in front of me may not have actual power, but she is a great person whose status is counted on one hand in the country.
Moreover, it is the most important among neutral personnel.
Yeji has never been specific, but the question just now was extremely rude. Knowing this, the escort bowed her head and apologized to the shaman, and she also received the apology with a nod of her head.
“Unfortunately, as always, there is only so much I can know. I don’t know who we are talking about, what the right direction is, or when our guests will arrive. It may be in the distant future.”
“Well, it’s been like that until now.”
“Yes, that’s right. So your job is to report the results as always.”
“Oh, that’s right. Excuse me, but I’ll have to leave for a moment.”
“Yes, please.”
The shaman let out a sigh as she felt her escort leave the small room.
‘Whew. I’m sick of it. When will this tiresome factional war end? .’
The shaman thought about that and immediately shook her head.
It wasn’t because she felt her thoughts were wrong, but because she could see the end of her tiresome fight.
It was also by the protagonist of the prophecy she had just received.
She thought she was fortunate to be a shaman.
The war with the demons is in full swing on the continent, but they are still fighting with their allies on the island.
How deplorable is this.
This is something that even the twin gods who are watching from heaven would lament.
Fortunately, looking at the prophecy, it looks like there isn’t much left.
But why?
‘What is this unknown anxiety… ?’
This was an intuition that arose from someone who had made several predictions with the power of an oracle.
There is definitely something.
It was that time.
“Ugh…?!”
A throbbing pain that feels like the head is about to break.
‘Nonsense, ugh, no way…’ !’
She knew very well what this pain was.
A phenomenon that occurs when you receive a prophecy without being prepared.
But didn’t she receive a prophecy just before that?
‘What, evil… ! How did it happen, hmm… !’
The prophecy fell.
“…?!”
The shaman’s face turned pale as she understood the entire sentence, not just each letter.
A completely different prophecy than the one we just received.
That meant that there was discord among the twin gods.
