Chapter 289: The one who gets the last laugh – 1
#1
Baeklin was a little under the weather now.
Of course, the dungeon adventure was very smooth and rhythmical.
Did he come out for a walk? He felt sorry for himself for being worried.
The dungeon looked like it was made of stone, but it\'s a long, long passage with a ragged wall on the outside.
His favorite comic books depicted medieval corridors full of mysterious decorations, but walking in long, lightless corridors was almost as scary as a horror movie. When he looked at common hero novels, they described the dungeons as a comfortable basement to the characters but that was all misleading.
Shhoooo... Papapang!!!
"Grrrr! Cough Cough!"
Pow Pow Pow!!
Why did they bring the dragons together?
They\'re having their own conversations. When asked why they don\'t fight, their answer was quite a masterpiece.
"Our status here as a deity is limited and difficult to use. The lively side (you guys) should do it."
Jaehwang did not seem to care much about what the dragons were saying even though he knew how hard it was to bring them here together and use them as much as possible.
And even Jaehwang showed no signs of fatigue.
He didn\'t even seem to need a break.
What a monster. Baeklin cannot believe how much the difficulty of this task was lowered by a single human, Jaehwang.
When did he become so strong?
In the last battle between him and Jaehwang, Baeklin thought there was still some possibility.
He had thought it would be within reach someday because the power of magic was limitless.
But Jaehwang at that time and this monster now were on a completely different level.
Everything they were doing now was done by that one arrow in front of him.
Was this the thing that they call extreme efficiency?
What could an arrow do to make such a strange destructive power possible?
He felt sorry for the monsters that were sacrificed in this dungeon and recycled as his weapon.
"How do you make that?"
"Well, personify a myth called a murderer and a myth called the master of bow with my will, and then mix a little bit of Mana..."
Cough
Myth... Baeklin had no idea what he was talking about.
For him, it was like a tale from another world.
As Baeklin was being temperamental, Jaehwang looked at him as if he was looking at a crazy person.
Looking a little into Baeklin\'s heart, he seems to be agitated that Jaehwang made everything too easy, but this time Jaehwang actually created this weapon with great care.
Jaehwang got his inspiration from a movie that he had seen in the past, it was someone who uses the technique of using an arrow as a weapon. The difference was that Jaehwang could use his will to manipulate an arrow, and whoever was shot by the arrow... it does not just create a hole in them. It would open up a highway that prevents them from regenerating.
Of course, there are disadvantages.
For maximum efficiency, its range was only 50 meters.
Unless if it was used in a narrow passage like this, its usage was limited.
But there was no more fraudulent technology than this technique to Baeklin. It looks best for use in these dungeons.
It was then when Jaehwang looked back and said to Baeklin, "Isn\'t that strange?"
"What?"
Jaehwang sighed low when he heard Baeklin\'s reply. His facial expression didn\'t seem too pleased.
"Just say it. Your expression already says \'pathetic\'."
When Baeklin replied with a sulky look, Jaehwang shook his head and then started running again.
"Hey! Dude! Listen when an elder talks!" Baeklin shouted, but Jaehwang ran without listening.
Of course, he was not trying to ignore Baeklin. He just couldn\'t tell Baeklin. Baeklin, the weakest of those who came here, was someone who could not escape the influence of Ruler. That was why they could not tell him the truth behind the matter.
No, it was not to be known now. Rather, it was best that Baeklin was left to think freely.
Baeklin was one of the traps that Jaehwang prepared.
"It\'s almost over."
The dungeon was a terrifyingly huge one for being underground.
It looked like an underground pyramid.
The lower floors became wider and wider as they went on.
Around 47 stories, it was almost a one small world; a place where an ecosystem was completed. They were doubtful about how life could live in such an enclosed world.
They seemed very archaic and they seemed to probably eat one another periodically, but there seemed to be some type of societal hierarchy still existing in this place.
There were way too many of the things Baeklin called Roaches.
No, apart from their numbers, they formed a kind of society in this dungeon.
Although they were apparently primitive and routinely ate each other, for now, they had the most basic social component, a class.
Also, the lowest level of the chain showed a different level of strength from the first or the 20th floor.
"Krrrr!"
A roach made up of sharp sword arms came running towards them at an incredible speed.
Of course, it was still too slow for Jaehwang so he shot his arrow, but the Roach quickly escaped Jaehwang\'s arrow and came towards Jaehwang.
POW!
With a pounding vibration through the air, the sword came towards Jaehwang\'s neck. Jaehwang escaped by lightly turning his head and then, his hand touched the Roach\'s chest.
POW! POWPOWPOW!! POW!
A sound of something breaking came from the Roach\'s chest, and its limbs let go.
The reason why Jaehwang attacked this way was because the Roach\'s internal fluids were made of poisonous venom.
"So annoying," Jaehwang said as he put it away to the side.
Sometimes when this kind of specialty comes along, innumerable small ones follow suit.
As if to get some revenge for its mother\'s death, those things were small but they were as much dangerous as 10-tier monsters.
If he didn\'t keep his guards up, it would be inevitable for him to be swept up by the monster tsunami.
At this time, even Jaehwang was more careful in dealing with his enemies than before. He even made another arrow to deal with his enemies. Besides, the shapes of the corridors did not help them with the attack. How long would it take for this to change?
The dungeon was as strong as Baeklin\'s words that it would never break because it was made magically, but the dirt and dust piling up on it was a problem. Flooding down, they smelled as sticky and disgusting as that in the sewers. There were no vents in sight, and to be honest, living in this dungeon would be crazy.
"May I help you? It\'s so filthy here." Covering his nose, Al came forward, and Jaehwang nodded his head before stepping back.
As Al raised his hand in front of his chest, a round sphere of red mana was formed. Each time Al recited his mouth quickly, it rotated continuously and its color darkened.
"Amazing," Baeklin said as he watched him nervously. It was because the amount of compressed mana inside that ball was beyond his imagination.
And as Al brought the mana sphere forward, the sphere slowly went forward. As its timid movements started to make Baeklin curious, it finally started to make some changes.
Pow Pow…Pow Pow Pow!
With a loud flash, the red sphere began to suck everything in the corridor. Along with it, its speed of travel began to increase. The sphere literally went on by cleaning the dungeon passage. The place where the sphere passed was dried as if the first dungeon had been made like this.
"KWEEEEK! KYAAA!"
Moreover, it sucked in everything, whether alive or lifeless. It even sucked in the monsters who were hiding to attack Jaehwang and ate them up.
"It sucks everything around it like it distorts space itself. It\'d eat up the walls of the dungeon by nature, but ancient people\'s skills are great."
\'I\'m more afraid of you,\' Baeklin thought but he didn\'t say it out loud.
If he faced such an attack in a dungeon like this, he would die without saying a word.
"The smell went away a little bit. By the way, the way they looked at me stings," Al, who waved his hand as if it were nothing, said to Jaehwang, and Jaehwang also nodded.
"Yes, it\'s very explicit. And close."
They did not mention who it was, but they already knew.
Who it was.
It took them about two days to finally reach the 49th level underground.
Everyone except Baeklin were pretty much gods, and they didn\'t require much rest.
And when they finally stepped on the last step… Jaehwang cleaned up all the floating arrows around them because the pressure of the mana around them was stronger than any of these arrows.
The 49th level was a humongous place.
There seemed to be no end to this place… Inside such a space where it was hard to understand what technology it was made of, all the monsters that they have never been seen were staring down at them.
They were waiting for Jaehwang\'s party.
And behind them... they could feel the presence of great beings.
Each and every one of those could not be ignored.
It\'s like a Ruler...
"We\'ll also have to fight this time."
L, Al, and Baeklin stood beside Jaehwang, warming up. This was the moment when the mightiest powers of Elus, the Earth, and the Dark Earth clash.
#2
A dark, dark place… it was filled with wombly things.
Taking up its center was a gray-white cocoon that looked like an egg. After a while, a gray film was torn open.
Doodoodoo...dudu... tutututu...
The first thing that came out of the middle of the cocoon was a white hand.
The hand then spread the cocoon from side to side and a moment later, the owner of the hand popped out and fell to the floor.
"Huh...kkuh..."
It fell to the floor and wriggled wildly.
After some time, a white liquid gushed out of its mouth.
"Huck...woosh."
It puked for a long time and then slowly rose after rubbing itself for a moment. He then looked at his body.
"I haven\'t been in this kind of body in a long time."
And unbelievably, what popped out of its mouth was a little slow human language.
Then, he touched his smooth hair with his hands and shakes his head.
"It\'s cold. Oh right, no hair."
As soon as he spoke, his long black hair began to be made as if time was rolling faster. At the same time, a white light came up and covered his body, purifying his dirty body as it gave him a pair of clothes.
"It\'s really been a long time," he mumbled as he smoothed his clothes around him.
He was created by the most recent humans it met.
It\'s frustrating to wear something, but he had to get used to living in a human world.
"My lord, the master."
It was then when the whole space wiggled and soon, one shape was created. Continuing from the floor, it had only one big mouth.
"Are we ready?"
"All done. Whenever you say it, you can move above the ground."
"Good."
"These are things you will take with you."
The mouth opened widely and all sorts of things fell out.
These were the items of hunters who have been looking for dark Earth in the past. The condition was very good considering it came out of a mouth. As he was packing them one by one, that thing said,
"Are you coming back?"
"No, I probably won\'t come back if they completely blocked the dimensions," he answered conclusively.
"That\'s too bad."
"Hmm too bad, but I can\'t help it. You guys are too strong. With such an inferior body, they can\'t control all of you, so they have no choice but to lock the door."
"I know. But don\'t you need one servant to for the ruler?"
"Wow, for a newbie, that\'s a good excuse."
"Newbie… I haven\'t heard of that name in a long time."
"Do you want me to call you the invincible ruler?"
Ages ago, Ruler used to call him a newbie.
He used to be nothing before but now, he was ruling over billions… but he seems to be happy about being called by his old nickname and responded by wriggling.
"Gross."
"What is that?"
"It\'s just one of the expressions that humans use"
"It doesn\'t sound like a good word."
"Hmm… you are quite a fast learner. Anyway… hmm..."
Ruler, who was chatting with the invincible ruler closed his eyes And frowned a little.
"That\'s a fast move. Have we reached the end already?"
"Yes, I think I\'m about to run into the monarchs."
"Yes." Ruler shook his head, feeling the human emotion of bitterness.
This was a feeling of rejection. It\'s implanted into a human body, so it\'s essential to have...
"All will die, he\'s a ruthless killer."
"Yes." The bloodless answer echoed through the room.
