Dungeon of Remnants (3)

When I came to the first presumed high priest's hideout, there was a huge monster with 8 heads and 10 arms enshrined in front of the altar?

No matter how I looked at it, I couldn't help but be reminded of the monster the Emperor Maninleung had spoken of.

"Serpens are new monsters created during my reign. That monster was remodeled with a serpen as a base, so it has nothing to do with the ancient monster the emperor said."

Pietro continued.

"It would have been better if it was being prepared as a secret weapon for a re-invasion on the ground."

"The first goal is to bring that ancient monster here. Why would you put your own business behind you and focus on that monstrosity?"

"That's what's weird."

"But why can't anyone see it?"

"You may have noticed that the trap we set at the halfway point was destroyed. I should have set an alarm like that."

Seo Mun-yeop looked around the numerous caves that were pierced through the outer walls. It was probably from there that underground people and monsters would pour out.

'I should have confirmed that it was just the two of us, but they haven't come out yet? This is a very wary look.'

A high-ranking priest died, and an intruder occurred at the midway point on the way to this place.

At least they would know that someone was targeting them.

'You must have heard about me from the brainwashed Pietro Anella. You know I've been invited by her queen.'

So he dug a trap to kill Seo Moon-yeop, but failed, and the third high-ranking priest who set up the trap lost contact.

in other words.

'The fact that the other person is me means that they know it too.'

It was Seo Moon-yeop who destroyed the underground civilization. Since he joined hands with the queen and was aiming at them, this level of vigilance was, in a way, natural.

"If we come to the center, they seem to be attacking us from all sides."

"I guess so."

"I don't want to follow your will, so let's get them out first."

Seo Moon-yeop increased his throw.

And he threw the spear he was holding.

Shuuk!!

The spear flew like a shot and went into a cave.

yet.

Awesome profit!

A monstrous scream rang out.

The thrown spear returned to Seo Moon-yeop's hand.

"You're here to live."

Just by hearing the sound, Seo Moon-yeop could easily identify him.

just as expected.

In the cave, monsters that look like stingrays made of Aura, Salers, poured out in a pile. It was stimulated by the spear thrown by Seo Moon-yeop.

'I would have been ordered to wait and attack when a specific signal was given, but monsters aren't controlled that well.'

Although following simple instructions, monsters basically do not tolerate their instincts very well.

"You wait."

Seo Moon-yeop told Pietro and went forward alone.

Dig! Pod! Pod!

Mess up...!

Squeak!

Every time it was pierced by a spear, the Salers scattered leaving a faint scream.

Seo Moon-yeop spread his stabbing at high speed and killed Saleobun in a pile.

It was then.

Beep!

A sharp beep sounded like a whistle.

The salers who had attacked Seo Mun-yeop in anger turned around and rose up all at once.

Salers covered the entire ceiling of the temple.

And the Arachnes crawled out of the caves located in the low places.

And that wasn't all.

-Kiaaaak!

The three fully grown Jadrunes revealed their thick stems from inside the cave.

And that wasn't all.

Even heavily armed skeletons came out of other caves.

"You managed to get this far."

Peter murmured.

For the remnants who fell and hid, they mobilized quite a lot of monsters.

Seo Moon-yeop's expression changed as he faced the huge number of monsters.

"Are there quite a few of these?"

Numbers are numbers, but it wasn't easy that monsters were different by type.

It was then.

Underground people came out of the caves at the top.

The underground people flying in the air were all wearing priestly clothes.

Seo Moon-yeop looked at them as an analysis.

Then, I saw two of the most prominent Ji-Jeo-in.

-Target: Senior Priest (Underground)

-muscle strength 37/37

- Agility 66/75

- speed 60/60

- Endurance 51/51

-Spirit 82/82

-Tech 84/84

-Aura 184/184

-Psychic powers: Biological manipulation, Baekyeon

-Biological Manipulation: The amount of aura consumed to manipulate the genetic information of living things is drastically reduced.

-Baekyeon: Changes the aura into white poison mist, obscuring the enemy's vision and poisoning them.

He was a high-level priest who specialized in manipulating living things to create monsters.

In addition, there was a psychic ability that specialized in slaughtering multiple enemies with a poison mist. Fortunately, the monsters could die together now, so the poison fog wouldn't spread.

Like a high-ranking priest, the amount of aura is 184.

It was surrounded by white light that corresponds to the highest level of blue-purple-red-black-white.

But there was someone who was much more amazing than that.

-Target: Corrupted high priest (underground person)

-muscle strength 95/95

- Agility 93/93

- speed 82/82

- Endurance 89/89

-Spirit 31/100

- Skills 82/82

-Aura 245/188

-Psychic Powers: Follow, Oath, Warrior's Memory

-Follow: Correspond with an existence beyond the distant time and space.

-Oath: Pledge of allegiance to an existence beyond time and space by mortgaging your soul, and in return you get an aura that transcends the limit.

-Memories of warriors: Reproduce the martial arts of warriors that you have actually seen.

"her······."

Seo Moon-yeop was stunned.

Ji-jeo-in does not have a name, and uses the role he plays as a title.

When the role changes, the title also changes.

Is that why?

Clearly, in the past, that basement man, who would have been called the first high-ranking priest, now had a new name: the Corrupted High Priest.

His abilities were also unusual.

Strength, agility, speed, and endurance were all high. It was a totally different martial artist from other underground people who don't use their bodies well.

More overwhelming was the Auror figure.

-Aura 245/188

He had an Aura of 245, exceeding his own limit of 188.

This was a number that surpassed the amount of the high priest's aura seen in the final dungeon.

Thanks to the psychic power of the oath, he gained power beyond his limits.

Obedience and oath.

The two psychic powers of the fallen high priest made it clear that all speculation was true.

'What kind of existence is beyond the distant space-time. This is the monster the Emperor of Maninling said!'

I hoped it wasn't, but unfortunately, all my guesses turned out to be correct.

"The first one is stronger than I ever knew. Was it possible to grow like that in such a short time?"

Pietro said while examining the underground people.

About 19 years had passed since the last dungeon collapsed, but it was a short time for the underground people.

In the meantime, I had a huge amount of error, so it was not a normal case.

Seo Moon-yeop said.

"Didn't the queen say that her aura grew after she was chosen by the primordial light?"

"Yes."

"It's the same case with him."

"There is no way he would have been chosen by the light of the beginning..."

Pietro's expression, which seldom shows emotion, hardened.

"Did you become that strong because you were chosen by an ancient monster? It means that the monster also has the ability to bestow power on those it chooses, just like the primordial light."

"Even though it is very far away."

"Seo Moon-yeop."

Pietro's expression was very dark.

"why?"

"You must kill the first one and prevent the door from opening."

"Of course not."

"The spirit level of that monster has reached a level where it imitates the light of the beginning. If that's the case, I can't even predict how strong my body will be."

"Tsk, aside from that bastard, who is the other high-level priest next to you?"

"Fifth. He had a knack for creating monsters. It must have been the fifth person in charge of building that gigantic new monster."

The two sides hadn't fought yet, just staring at each other.

It was then.

The fallen high priest beckoned Seo Moon-yeop and his party.

Seo Moon-yeop recognized the meaning of the hand gesture.

'It means to say something.'

That way, we can listen to it, learn it, and talk to each other.

Seo Moon-yeop said.

"Hey, you rats. What are you doing hiding in a place like this?"

Then, each of the Jijeo people began to learn Korean by reciting what Seo Mun-yeop said.

"If you can afford to make monsters like this again, you should think about renovating your home, saving your wandering people, or thinking of starting a war. That's a very good thing, you fucking bastards."

- will save

The first high priest, the fallen high priest, spoke. He was the first to learn Korean.

-Seo Mun-yeop. Just by killing you.

"Haha, there is no one in Jijeo who doesn't know my name."

-Don't we know the enemy who brought disaster to us? We will kill you here and honor the souls of the sacrificed people. So I...!

"What are you? Will you lead me to the land of light?"

-I know.

Though speechless, the fallen High Priest was not taken aback.

"Honey, but isn't that what it is? It has already been revealed who the prophet of prophecy is. Not you, son."

- What?!

The corrupted High Priestess was agitated for the first time.

Seo Moon-yeop said.

"The Queen is a prophet. That woman, she was already chosen by the light of the beginning two years before her sanctuary collapsed."

-What is that...!

- The queen?

The other underground people murmured in surprise.

The fallen high priest shouted in anger.

-Did she say that? The incompetent monarch who did nothing is now risking the light of the beginning and even lying!

- Yes, it's a lie!

-The high priest is the one here!

The people of the basement were angry with each other. It was the appearance that he could not forgive the queen who lied with the light of the beginning.

It was then.

Pietro, who had been quiet, opened his mouth.

"First."

The brow of the fallen High Priest twitched.

-human. who are you? How do you know that I was once the first high priest?

"Isn't it natural that you know since I appointed you?"

Pietro's calm reply.

The Corrupted High Priest had an expression that he did not know what he was talking about.

"At that time, when you were young, you told me. He wants to become a great person like me. And I answered No matter who in this world has great power, endless authority, or honor, it is not great. Only······."

-Only the love of the light of the beginning is great...

The corrupted High Priest muttered in response to Pietro's words with a shocked face.

Pietro smiled. It was a benevolent smile I had never seen before. Will his grandfather smile at his grandson?

"First. A child who resembles me the most. Why are you trying to imitate my sins?"

-lie! As a human being, how could he and only me know...!

"Didn't you break my advice not to touch the spirit the third one couldn't handle?"

Only then did the fallen high priest realize the circumstances.

-Did you possess a human body?

"Yes. I didn't want to do this either, but I still had work to do and I had no choice. At first, I felt embarrassed that I had become something like a human being, but as I got used to it, it got better. Humans aren't bad either. Because you can walk around freely under the light."

- High Priestess!! Then why are you with that human being? Are you angry that we handled the high priest's jade body at will? Unfortunately, it's for a good cause...!

"That doesn't matter, first."

After Pietro's identity was revealed, everyone was agitated and buzzed.

Pietro continued.

"Seo Moon-yeop is right. the queen is a prophet She heard the words of the light in the beginning, and she heard more prophecies."

- What are you talking about! I am the high priest! I'm following you and serving the light of the beginning!

"To confess, I had long since stopped hearing the words of the original light many years before our sanctuary collapsed."

-that······!

The eyes of the corrupted High Priest trembled.

He was shaken when Pietro, like his father, confessed his ugliness.

"At that time, while meditating, I saw a cunning heroic spirit imitating the primordial light, and he is the one you are serving now."

When the bomb remarks came out, the people of the basement were confused.
