Invitation (2)

Dig!

As soon as I arrived, I felt the shady air.

It was a feeling unique to the dungeon, where sunlight had never entered.

Wedge liquid!

A sharp sound pierced the air from somewhere.

Poof!

Seo Moon-yeop ducked his head to the side to avoid it.

Something passed quickly over my head.

Take it! C'mon!

A monster appeared with a strange sound.

It was a giant mantis-like monster about 3m tall.

'Mantro-kun.'

Mangt was a monster that appeared at the end of the Underground War.

There was no doubt that it was a fabricated life form modeled after the actual praying mantis in terms of appearance and appearance.

At that time, the dungeons were collapsing one by one for Seo Moon-yeop, and the monster he made in a hurry was Mangt.

It eats people and stores Auras in its belly, and it sometimes creates Aura blades with its sharp front claws and shoots them like before.

He was an underground man who desperately coveted Aura.

Usually, the behavior of the underground person is to devour all of them to accumulate auras, and then kill the monster to take the accumulated auras.

However, Mangt made it possible to perform attacks that consume aura.

It was proof of how desperate Jijeoin was at the time.

However, it was also a monster that was very good at killing humans.

Take it!

Mant spread his wings and flew up.

It wasn't one.

Fourteen mantes were flying towards Seo Mun-yeop all at once.

Seo Moon-yeop fell into a strange dungeon and was attacked by monsters, but he just laughed.

'Pietro Anella, you son of a bitch. After all, he's a suspicious guy, isn't he?'

I would have been embarrassed if I hadn't shown anything, but it was fortunate that he showed his true colors like this.

Seo Moon-yeop opened the suitcase and took out a spear and a shield.

Wherever he went, he always carried a spear with him.

Especially now that I came with a suspicious child like Pietro Anella, I also took a special shield.

I don't know what kind of person the world president is, so how could even an invincible person not prepare any countermeasures?

'I'm sure he knows I'm immortal.'

Clap! Clap!

Upon injecting the aura, the spear unfolded to a length of 1.8m.

'Did you think that being immortal would have nothing to do with your body being eaten?'

Seo Moon-yeop was also curious about whether he would die if he really did that, but he had no intention of experimenting.

'But that's a bit of a poor idea. The monsters must have been prepared more than this...'

chump chump chump!

The mantes fired Auror blades all at once from the sky.

Seo Moon-yeop crouched down, raised his shield and skilfully blocked it.

In the gap, a mant charged.

As he swung his forepaw, Seomunyeop, who was holding up his shield to block it, also threw out a spear at the same time.

"It's warm."

puff!

Mant's head was pierced.

He stabbed him once more, severed his neck, and stabbed his torso to finish.

Mangt has a habit of avoiding the opponent's attacks well, so he is quite picky, but when he attacks, he cannot evade.

Seo Mun-yeop's combat habit of simultaneously defending and counterattacking by aiming for the timing of the opponent's attack was developed while hunting mants.

'Did you think I wouldn't be able to go back because there wouldn't be a return stone?'

However, Seo Mun-yeop also had a Hearthstone.

Nowadays, no one in the world carries a hearthstone.

However, Seo Moon-yeop was not a person these days.

The hearthstone given to him by Eric Thuram, a fellow 7 hero, was still in his backpack.

The other day, when he went to his secret dungeon, he had carried the backpack with the hearthstone in it.

'Why don't you wait until I'm a bit more peaceful before you start playing tricks?'

A man with a spear, a shield, and a hearthstone!

Living in the 2020s, Seo Moon-yeop is still not relaxed.

Mants continued to fly.

Since you've seen how the one that attacked earlier died, you must have decided that you should attack them all at once.

The group battle habits of the Mantes, who occupy all sides of the front, left and right, and launch a siege attack, are scary, but Seo Mun-yeop was an exception.

'I don't even need to use this level of psychic powers.'

It's a trap to catch a great superman like yourself, but can the danger end with just this?

'2nd, 3rd, 4th, keep coming out until the final king!'

Seo Moon-yeop's window danced.

He continued to move so as not to be surrounded and killed the mantes one by one.

He didn't even throw his psychic powers, he dealt with them purely with spearmanship.

Even so, the mants that fall peek pick.

Not only spearmanship, but moving and shield control were all at their peak.

Minimal movement, minimal power.

The mantes all of a sudden became corpses.

Aura was rarely used except to maintain the spear.

"Isn't there a second round?!"

Seo Moon-yeop shouted into the air.

OK.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...!

There was the sound of something secretly moving.

However, even with that small voice, Seo Moon-yeop recognized the identity at once.

It was Padub, a tree monster with thorns all over its branches and leaves.

It was a plant-type monster whose body was so tough that it had to be cut with an aura.

Padub's body was also parasitic with a plant-type monster, Mystel.

'It's my guess, but it's probably a ploy to drain my strength, right?'

It was a ploy to kill at once with an unexpected surprise by deploying a powerful mant in the first place.

However, if it failed, it would be plausible to interpret it as an arrangement to reduce the power with monsters that can only be defeated by using an aura.

If so, shouldn't you be able to enjoy everything they prepared as a guest if you save your energy as much as possible?

Seo Moon-yeop waited in place without moving, with the aura lightly loaded on the spear.

It was a waste of energy to attack first or catch them one by one by throwing them.

Actually, if you want to escape, you can use the Hearthstone right away, but Seo Moon-yeop wanted to keep an eye on it a little longer.

'I'll have to see who the idiot who brainwashed Pietro Anella is.'

Of course, Seo Moon-yeop did not think of Pietro Anella as the culprit behind this incident.

Rather, he was a pitiful victim.

It was also possible to guess how the person in the basement brainwashed Pietro Anella.

'I must have taught them the sacred language.'

Most of the underground people's language is too complex to be deciphered by humans.

But there is one language that can be deciphered.

It was the 'sacred language' they used for religious ceremonies.

The language of a high-level subterranean person is something that humans cannot handle.

A human who has deciphered the sacred language is brainwashed like Pietro Anella.

They say that humans are wrong and that they must follow the words of the light from the beginning, and they end up on the side of the underground people.

From the point of view of Ji-Jeo-in, it was easy to just throw a book made for humans to learn the sacred language.

Of course, the target has to have a tremendous brain to decipher it, but unfortunately Pietro Anella was such a smart person.

Since the information about the sacred language was a top secret that only a few people knew, it must have been learned without knowing it well.

'If you don't do it, there are definitely people who want to do it more, so I did it as a top secret, but this is true.'

The aftermath was not great because there were few dungeon raiders with enough brains to learn the sacred language.

Padup and Mistel attacked.

When Padup approached and wielded a branch, the parasitic Mistel also extended its stem and joined in.

Although Mistel mainly lives as a parasite on trees, Seo Moon-yeop was a new parasitic target.

Along with Padup, Mistels also attacked Seo Moon-yeop's body, eager to take over.

But Seo Moon-yeop was calm.

Myeonggyeongsu

It subdued all emotional agitation and became a combat machine, minimizing physical as well as mental consumption.

Pod! Pod! Kwajik!

Cut the branches and poke them near the root where Padub's heart is.

Mistels who jumped out of the dead Padup also died instantly with a single spear.

The same operation was repeated.

The corpses of Padup and Mistel piled up like a mountain.

Some of the Mistels even targeted the body of the dead Mant.

It was because it was good to use it in battle because it was still alive and fresh after being dead.

But even that was used as bait by Seo Mun-yeop.

Mistels who were aiming for Mangt's corpse were pierced with spears and died in vain.

how much time has passed

Seo Mun-yeop finally slaughtered all the monsters.

It was quite a long battle, but it was only the result of reducing the movement to conserve strength.

We fought for a long time, but Seo Mun-yeop was still fine.

"Can't you just do this? I guess you don't have the energy to make a big guy like you did in the last dungeon, right?"

He fired into the air again.

Then 3 waves poured in.

to live

It was a group of fish that looked like stingrays made of blue aura that I had seen during the avatar test.

Salerboon was also a monster that had to be killed with an aura.

The fight started again.

The monsters continued to pour in, but Seo Mun-yeop calmly slaughtered them.

There was no such thing as arousing great strength in anger because he was tired of the monotonous fight.

Unlike usual, Seo Moon-yeop in the dungeon was terribly cold-hearted and patient.

At some point, the monsters stopped appearing.

"Is it over?"

After waiting for no more to come, Seo Mun-yeop slowly began looking around the dungeon.

Didn't even bother to the end.

I took the hearthstone out of my backpack and put it in my pocket so I could use it anytime.

It takes about 12 seconds to use the Hearthstone, and the reason Seo Moon-yeop sacrificed himself in the final dungeon was to buy that time.

He intended to use the Hearthstone immediately if it seemed unusual.

'This won't be the end.'

Ji-Jeo-in, who orchestrated this work, would want to check whether Seo Moon-yeop, the target, is dead or alive.

furthermore.

'It's a trap that kills the best superman in the universe, but it shouldn't end like this.'

It was Seo Mun-yeop who had already killed a lot of monsters.

Seo Moon-yeop became stronger than in the last dungeon.

He didn't use amplification separately, but it was because he was able to maintain his composure at all times thanks to the influence of his mental strength of 110.

I searched the dungeon thoroughly and went deeper and deeper.

And finally reached the end of the dungeon.

"huh?"

An altar with five layers appeared.

Eternally burning blue lanterns made of aura were installed.

On the altar was a coffin that was supposed to contain the body.

The coffin made of cold ice reminded me of Roy Meyer's ice seal.

"what. Is this the final king?"

Seo Moon-yeop was convinced that there was a final boss prepared for him in that ice coffin.

Because they play with the corpses of their own people by turning them into undead monsters.

As expected.

-Are the guests human?

Startle.

Seo Moon-yeop's expression disappeared.

The underground person conveys words with the vibration of the aura.

The vibration pattern is different for each person, so it can be distinguished like a human voice.

It was a vibration pattern I had heard somewhere.

From inside the ice coffin, I could still hear the words of the Jijeo people.

-It's a voice I've heard in a language I've heard.

The opponent in the ice coffin seemed to be the same.

It means that you have already learned Korean from someone by talking in Korean.

There was a high probability that some human being was Seo Moon-yeop.

"who is this?"

Seo Moon-yeop opened his mouth.

"Are you the one who hit me once? Who is this nervous?"

Seo Moon-yeop, who has erased his composure and is sincere.

There were few underground people he had to be so nervous about.

The Emperor of the Millennium Mausoleum.

and······.

-This is Seo Mun-yeop.

A flash of light flashed in my brain.

someone came up

"I can't believe it, are you the high priest?"

-The Great Priestess...

Laughter rang out.

empty vibrations. It was a sound of deep despair.

- There was a time when there was such a calling.

Someone lifted his upper body from the ice coffin.

The dead but well-preserved corpse was underground, but it looked like a beautiful Greek statue.

I could see the long cuts Seo Mun-yeop had left on his neck and abdomen. The body was certain.

- But that mission has failed.

flash

The high priest opened his eyes.

-As a foolish sinner, even after I die, I cannot become a heroic spirit and remain miserable like this.

"Do you think I will be very resentful?"

-resentment?

The Grand Priest stared at Seo Moon-yeop.

Is it because they are undead? There was no emotion at all.

- I don't regret it. you were my punishment It is a punishment given by the light of the beginning to punish me, who was a fallen high priest.

Fully standing, the High Priestess dressed up in a white tunic-like garment.

-I got to see you again in such a rough way. Is this my punishment, or is it about to end?

Seo Moon-yeop laughed deeply.

It seemed that the guys who organized this were preparing a very hot finale for guests.
