Chapter 116 – Demon Castle

Even if you knew the inside of the castle, there was a big difference between walking around the inside and just looking at the map.

To enter directly, you had to ambush and defeat the demons standing guard, or bypass them, but most of the secret passages, as well as regular roads, had demons standing there, so it was almost impossible to infiltrate.

Even so, the reason why the hero could move so confidently was because it was possible to double the stealth magic.

One is Ruril’s own elf-only skill, Light Step, of course, now it seems to be recognized not as a skill but as a magic that can be used as an elf, but surprisingly, this skill overlapped with the stealth magic I used.

If my magic was to not show up, the elves’ light steps were used to hide themselves in the forest, so it was close to getting rid of footsteps as well as the entire presence.

The hero’s guess was that if he used these two at the same time, he wouldn’t be caught in the barrier on the demon castle, and that was exactly right.

Because it is a barrier that only blocks magic that harms the barrier, there is nothing to block the magic and skills that are only used to hide.

“Good… It will be inside the castle soon.”

How long had it been since we started walking down the aqueduct, the hero stopped us and started walking toward the ladder.

“How the hell do you know… ?”

“Because you said you knew everything about the castle.”

I honestly can’t believe it.

No matter how much I say that I came back to the past after wandering around here for a long time, it’s like drawing a map right away, and noticing at once that I’m at this location even though I’ve just walked…

If it’s great, it’s great, but…

While watching the hero, he had various complicated feelings, and started climbing up the ladder carefully, saying that if he was ready, let’s go up slowly.

I thought there would be no one up here, but sometimes there might be people who come to clean the underground waterway, so I went up first, leaving the word to wait for a while, saying that there was nothing wrong with being careful.

Of course, you can see what the warrior is doing here.

The warrior who arrived at the end of the ladder put his ear to the lid to see who was there.

Then he began to open the door slowly, very carefully, so as not to be heard outside as much as possible. As if it had been done a lot, the hero, who opened it completely without making a sound, soared up in the blink of an eye, and heard the sound of something breaking.

“… “

Thud!

I was startled by the sound of something falling and looked up to see the monster with its neck half twisted, trembling and lying down.

Is it okay to throw it like this… ?

“The road leading to the underground waterway is almost completely sealed, so you can never hear this much.”

But… Even if you simply look at the height of the ladder, it would be more strange to hear the sound if you consider the thickness of the wall between the ground and the basement.

“Cecilia, please purify him. You can come up now.”

“I want to purify… “

As Cecilia raised her prayers towards the trembling demon with a complex and subtle expression, she slowly began to lose her powder as her body burned.

At the point where his neck was already twisted, it was like half-dead, so he was purified without any screams or painful groans.

Well, since it was purified, it must have gone to a good place.

“You can just come up. After all, there is no one around here.”

At the words of the hero, me, Cecilia, and Ruril each stepped up in order.

A prison that is very clean for a demonic castle…

Prison?

“Here… “

“It’s a dungeon.”

“It wasn’t in our basement… ?”

It was something I wanted to ask, but you asked it well.

What… If there is no dungeon in a place like the Devil’s Castle, I think it’s strange as it is… The place he arrived through the underground waterway was none other than the dungeon.

“I came to the clean side. You have to dive in shit to get to a safer place, but that’s it.”

“… “

I hardened my expression.

“It’s probably dirty water full of demonic energy rather than feces.”

Crumpled face

“I absolutely hate it… “

I didn’t like that either.

Better this than getting into that shit.

At least this wasn’t going anywhere.

It still smells, but…

“… !”

Wait for a sec.

Dungeon?

‘It’s a bit like a dungeon, but… ‘

It is said that it is a dungeon, but in fact, most of the cases where humans are caught, so most of the people who are brought here are subjected to indescribable things.

From being spawned as the parent body of monsters in a small way to being slaughtered and used as a luxury food for monsters in serious cases… It is not for nothing that the world is destroyed and the devil is the enemy.

– Be careful. It’s really dangerous from here.

In other words, the moment we are caught, we are finished.

If they are caught, what happens in this place is beyond imagination, to the extent that it would be beneficial for them to die on the spot.

Of course, if you don’t like that kind of game, you can just set it to end with being caught and imprisoned, or die on the spot, so it wasn’t such a serious setting in the game…

It’s different now.

If you get caught, you should really think it’s the end.

“Huh. And… “

Even the hero is probably familiar with the reality of this dungeon.

The warrior blurted out his words.

“Warrior?”

When Ruril asked again, as if it was strange, she made a surprised expression as if she realized that it was only then that she called, then cleared her throat.

“That… She grabbed me with her eyes and ears covered and wanted to recommend following me… Because there will be a side of me that I don’t want to show so much after this.”

Cecilia, who is still weak, really didn’t lie and thought that it would be better to go into the dungeon.

Those words seemed to frighten Cecilia for a moment, but then she shook her head.

“You will have to face her as a saint. Let’s go… !”

Cecilia said so and she took the lead.

I feel sorry for Cecilia, but she shouldn’t have taken the lead.

Cecilia stopped in her tracks as soon as she stepped outside.

– Warrior.

This.

No luck, no luck…

At my call, the hero nodded her head, and she approached the frozen Cecilia and quietly covered her eyes.

“It’s good not to see. If we only defeat the demon lord, that kind of thing won’t happen.”

“… “

In my heart, I wanted to freeze and kill those demons, but I couldn’t because if I did that, my identity and location would be exposed.

Now is the time to be patient.

By the way.

I looked around.

A person who is being tortured and used as a mere toy by demons, and a woman screaming after being forcibly attacked by a monster.

In addition, I looked around at the people who suffered unspeakable things, and eventually I couldn’t stand it and avoided my eyes.

How the hell can you stand seeing something like that?

I’ve felt it once before, but this world was only a motive for Yagem, and in fact it was a place that was no different from the world itself.

Of course, I knew that the demons, the enemy of humans, could only be so cruel to humans, but seeing it with my own two eyes was so shocking that I couldn’t believe it.

I didn’t really want to see the current state, the scene where a human like me was being trampled on.

Being gang-raped in the game, being raped by the devil and eating your flesh to death.

Because the current scene was so shocking that people who like fiction don’t understand it for a moment.

We have to get out quickly.

The hero looked around me, Cecilia, and Ruril and led them to get out of here quickly. The dungeon was literally a place where the end of the end was located, so it was enough to just pass through it confidently.

Of course, the lower level demons didn’t even notice that we were passing by.

Whoa.

Let’s forget

Forget about it now.

‘This is the inside of the castle… ‘

[Be careful. I’ll do my best to assist, but… For now, you have to focus only on getting to the Demon King.]

‘I know.’

Isn’t that why you’ve endured it for a while?

If we had traveled for a long time and had enough specs to destroy the Demon Castle, it would have been better if we had just stepped out of the situation, but now we are weak except for the hero, so that was impossible.

And I had to forget.

Now…

As of right now.

After subjugating the demon king… At that time, you will be able to save it.

It will come down then

Certainly.
