Chapter 351 – 30. A Dungeon Called the Abyss

Puuk─

-Off…

Han Si-woo felt relieved as he felt the core of the corpse tyrant, more specifically the magic stone, at the tip of his sword.

‘Anyway, persistence.’

Undead have no brain or heart.

More accurately, it would be correct to say that the organ that originally had that function stopped its activity.

Instead, there is bound to be at least one weakness commonly referred to as a nucleus.

The same goes for this giant corpse tyrant.

When it was assumed that the Corpse Tyrant was undead, when it was confirmed with its own eyes, and when it finally absorbed its morale and grew into a gigantic entity, the goal of this battle was to find and destroy its core. It’s nothing special, it’s just the way to kill strong undead.

Although the process is ridiculously difficult.

‘But this really is the end.’

Siwoo plunged his sword deeper to ensure the death of the corpse tyrant.

Clearly different from flesh or bones.

Cut and break the hard magic stone and push it in with all your might.

Siwoo was relieved only after stabbing the corpse tyrant until his nose touched.

“Wow, I finished it…”

“Ugh! You…!”

I heard something from behind that reminded me of a cliché, but nothing like that happened.

Instead, the Corpse Tyrant’s huge body began to slowly fall backwards.

For a moment, he thought it was a monster moving, but he belatedly touched his chest.

‘Be surprised.’

It was sincere.

If the Corpse Tyrant hadn’t fallen yet, he wasn’t confident about catching it.

Of course, nothing dangerous will happen.

In the expedition team, there were Han So-young and Scarlett, who were still busy and not doing anything.

However, it would not have been possible to capture the Corpse Tyrant with the clan’s own power as desired.

30 minutes after becoming gigantic that cannot be expressed in words.

It was such an intense time that even Han Si-woo, who was concentrating on his command, had to pull out the holy sword from space and go into battle. It’s enough to make you think that just these 30 minutes will cover all of today’s activities.

Siwoo was holding onto his sword and clinging to the corpse tyrant, who slowly fell down in a way that did not match his size.

“Son!”

‘Huh?’

When she turned her head when she heard Han So-young’s voice behind her, she was flying.

No, it was more like jumping, but it felt like I was flying.

“Mamang…? Wow!”

Before Siwoo could react, Han Soyoung immediately grabbed him and hugged him.

And then he landed very lightly on the ground.

A lifting state, commonly called a princess hug.

Si-woo stuttered with an embarrassed look on her face at her unexpected behavior and her own posture.

“Well, it’s okay…”

“It’s okay!”

Han So-young got angry and wiped the blood from her son’s cheek.

It was not her colleague’s, nor the corpse tyrant’s, but his.

Who would have thought that the expedition leader, especially a male warrior, would jump in with the holy sword just because the situation was so dangerous.

How surprised she was when she saw that.

If the Corpse Tyrant had been a character after the hero appeared, he would have been equally surprised.

Even though he has a holy sword blessed by the main god himself, he is not strong. Surprisingly, her swordsmanship has a lot of depth, and she shows a lot of interesting things, but at first glance, she is quite immature.

‘That’s why you got hurt like this.’

I was glad it ended like this.

When the corpse tyrant’s nails grazed Siwoo’s head, he almost ran away.

The giant’s dirty fingernails, which seem to be 7 or 8 meters long, are weapons themselves.

“It’s okay. The wounds have already healed.”

Siwoo said that and got out of her arms and came down.

“What? I’m healed?”

It doesn’t make sense.

The most threatening thing was the one on the head, and it took three or four more hits.

As Soyoung looked at his body, she realized that what he said was true, and also the reason.

“It’s a holy sword…”

“I think so.”

“… Ha.”

I knew that the Holy Sword had the power to heal its owner’s wounds, but I never thought it would be like this.

Fortunately, I still sighed.

If it’s Siwoo, it’s obvious that he will actively use this and often overdo it.

Siwoo said as if he had read her thoughts.

“I won’t overdo it.”

“Yeah… It really doesn’t work?”

“Yes.”

Seeing her son answering obediently, Soyoung nodded her head.

She couldn’t completely believe it, but she couldn’t blindly doubt it either.

“Siwoo, are you okay?!”

“Sorry for being late!”

“I haven’t finished organizing it yet…”

As the conversation with Han So-young came to an end, others gathered around the two.

Unlike Han So-young, they were late because they had completed their mission as an expedition team.

Verify that the collapsed corpse tyrant has truly been completely retired, and that there are no other hazards nearby, etc. The true end is not just defeating the dungeon boss, but also cleaning up after yourself and being vigilant.

And even treatment depending on the severity of the injury.

Because the battle was so intense, three of the four tanks collapsed and fell asleep as soon as they were treated.

In addition, some who were particularly active were also similar.

“Hilde, are you okay? You were beaten pretty hard earlier.”

Siwoo looked at Hildear, who approached first, with concern.

She was the most injured out of all the tankers, Jin.

She might have been treated by Elaine or someone else, but she was worried.

“I’m fine. I received proper treatment… Ugh.”

“It’s okay. I left out a few places to give it up to others. Go and get everything.”

“Yes…”

Hildear tried to decline, but Siu pressed her injured part and spoke, so she couldn’t help but nod her head. When I pressed directly on her wound, it hurt so much that she moaned, but I was able to bear it.

“Okay then… Let’s all do our best and get this sorted out!”

After that, she participated in the cleanup

Checking the loot, one of the privileges of the expedition leader, is also his job, so he is not idle.

Han So-young, who was next to her, gave up trying to help her clean up because she thought others would feel burdened. Instead, she sat aside and watched her son work with a happy smile.

“Yeah. It’s really cool, too.”

“…?”

Scarlett, who had come to the front to look at the corpse tyrant, tilted her head as Soyoung muttered to herself.

I’m just leading people and organizing things, so what’s cool about it?

“Right, daughter?”

“…”

Then again, you stroke the tummy and talk to a baby who is not even conscious.

It was a feeling that Scarlett could not understand.

In an instant, Han So-young’s expression completely changed.

“Huh? … Hmm.”

“Soyoung?”

“Wait a minute.”

She wiggled her finger with the face of a prosecutor rather than a woman.

The ego sword moves at a fast and secret speed so that no one but the two of them can know.

In the blink of an eye, he stabbed the tyrant’s head while avoiding the gaze of several people who were cleaning up the corpse right next to him. And Scarlett’s eyes widened at the very brief disappearance of morale she felt.

“Soyoung. That was just…”

“I don’t know what it is, but I guess there was something left behind.”

“… Really. Is it resurrection using time lag?”

It is quite a wise measure.

If you take your time and make the final resurrection, it will be easy to catch your guard down.

However, to Scarlett, Han So-young was more amazing than the last move of the corpse tyrant.

‘I didn’t even notice…’

If I had been around a little longer, I would have noticed the fraud that was brewing.

There is no way the morale required for the undead to be resurrected is an average amount.

‘It’s faster than me, the vampire princess. … Haha. As expected, this place is nice.’

Han So-young.

And Han Si-woo.

The hat is an interesting pair.

Regardless of the goal, it was still fun to work with these two.

“Han So-young.”

“Why are you calling me, Scarlett?”

“When I get back, I’ll ask you to spar with me.”

“Sparring… Ha, yes. There’s nothing I can do if I’m still itchy.”

She complained that she had little time to spend with her son.

Sparring with Scarlett was her condition upon recruiting her to her party.

As a result of adjustments through dialogue, we reduced our sparring from once a day to once every five days, but it has been a while since we have been able to spar due to this expedition. Siwoo is the one who provided the cause, and since Scarlett has done her part, there is nothing she can’t do.

“Still, I’ll ask in moderation.”

“I have no intention of overdoing it either.”

“Yes, yes.”

Han So-young turned her head and looked at Si-woo again.

Her son was smiling and telling her that she was done.

“Then let’s go back!”

A few days later.

The expedition team that safely escaped the canyon joined the group waiting above.

A room with an old-fashioned atmosphere.

A man and a woman are sitting facing each other, looking completely at odds with each other.

“Indeed. Is this the shrine maiden’s prophecy?”

“That’s right. It was a prophecy that came down after you came.”

“Haha. Don’t worry. I know very well that I am not that customer.”

“Hmph.”

The woman snorted at the man’s sly tone.

It’s for God’s sake, but I really don’t like holding his hand.

A strangely eerie atmosphere.

Maybe it’s not because the man is a demon.

Just an innate insidiousness.

It looks like he’s got dozens of snakes growing in his stomach, but he’s covering it up with his handsome appearance and way of talking. Most people probably won’t notice because of that. What a terrible demon that Hume is.

“Don’t look at me that way. Can’t you clearly see that I’m swearing at you?”

“… Excuse me. It wasn’t anything like that.”

“Haha. So, let’s skip it for now.”

The woman suppressed her rising vomiting and continued her words.

“So. Who do you expect the guest of prophecy to be?”

“Would you like to say something? He must be quite famous on the continent these days.”

“Is he also a saint?”

“Yes.”

Man, Hume thought.

Saint Han Si-woo.

He is a hero who has begun to crush the plans he has worked hard to build for years.

‘It must be removed.’

In fact, only a few of his plans were blocked by Han Si-woo.

Some of them are more than halfway through their plans, so there is no significant damage.

But a few things were very decisive.

Especially the plan targeting the Iron Blood Princess of the Glaser Empire.

Thanks to this, his true identity was revealed, and he was able to engage in battle with the SS-class hero party.

The wound he suffered from that time still throbs.

It would have been really dangerous if he had not returned to the Demon World and been treated by High Priest Violet.

And, crucially, for Humet, it was not a physical wound like this that made him angry.

For the 4th prince, who wants to become the emperor of the Mystica Empire, a country of demons, and even the future ruler of this world, this is a matter of pride and prestige. Isn’t that why he came here secretly?

‘It’s one of the three things I’ve been working on the most over the past few years.’

No doubt the Ten Goddesses will also try to stop it.

I was planning on targeting Hume at that time.

‘Well, welcome, saint.’

This island will become your grave.

Hunt, the 4th prince of the demon race, looked forward to Han Si-woo’s visit with an evil smile.
