Episode 279:
A blowing sandstorm.
The purple cone hat fluttered.
“You know, right? “If you get caught, you’ll just get tired.”
“i get it. “I understand.”
“Okay then… let’s go, Golgol!”
Desert of oblivion!
In a place with a unique environment, there were many players targeting contaminated rune stones.
To avoid the attention of players, X shared his role with Liglian and performed passionately.
Gazes pouring in from all around.
“what? Are you two on a party hunt?”
“Hey, there are so many dungeons, would you go hunting in the Desert of Oblivion? I guess they came for the Mana Rune Stone. “But why can’t I see the priest?”
Hearing the whispers, X looked at Ligrien and said.
“Let’s see, it’s time to summon Golgol…”
Then the players nodded as if they were convinced.
“Summoning time? “You are a necromancer.”
“Looking at that dirty thing, it looks like they are going to find the contaminated rune stone and sell the information. “He’s the runestone marketer I’ve only heard about.”
“But I think I’ve seen that purple hat somewhere…?”
A necromancer who commands the undead!
For this reason, Necromancers did not do party hunting whenever possible. Ligrien, who had suddenly become X’s summoned animal, trembled.
“You seem to be enjoying this.”
“When will I ever say something like this again?”
“…shameless guy.”
“It’s all for the greater good.”
Three inches of tongue moving as if it were oiled! Even the prickly Liglian raised a white flag against Aix.
“Besides, acting is just acting.”
Of course,
X went to the very center of the Desert of Oblivion.
“Here I met White Paper, the white mask. “I was hiding so I didn’t encounter him.”
“It’s the entrance to the worshipers’ stronghold.”
“I’m sure your contaminated runestones are also underground.”
So the countless parties searching the Desert of Oblivion are in vain!
Of course, X’s scope was very narrow. X just smiled sinisterly inside.
‘It’s always fun to see competitors fighting!’
Suffer more, try harder, suffer more in vain! Liglian asked X, who showed off his personality without regret.
“So are you thinking of trying to get in here?”
“yes. “It may be in the past, but I’m confident now.”
In the East Continent, although imperfect, it was X who defeated other beings. To put it bluntly, even if a truckload of worshipers were to attack you, you might end up getting scratched if you use the phoenix stance.
If there was a white mask, the story would be different.
“So, we need to be fully prepared before entering.”
On this side was Liglian, a direct subordinate of the Gourmet King.
Ligrien was skilled in all magic, including elemental magic and black magic. sparkle. Liglian’s beaded staff shone.
“Positioning.”
A blurry magic circle was engraved on the floor along with the spell. Looking at the complex pattern, it was clearly a high-level magic.
X smoothed his chin.
“…i get it! “It’s a portal!”
“But you still have eyes to recognize.”
“This is a hole that can be used in the unlikely event of a crisis.”
Sssss.
Ligrien’s mana enveloped X’s body.
“Targeting.”
A portal created artificially.
Unlike regular teleportation, the difficulty was high and the conditions for activation were also strict. Only those permitted by the user could use the portal.
[The portal recognizes your presence!]
“I’m ready.”
“okay. “Well, I can’t feel the gaze around me anymore.”
The very center of a desolate desert.
Moreover, now that the sky was dark, there were few players aiming for rune stones.
X carefully checked his surroundings one last time and regained his memory.
“What did the white paper say at that time…”
Open, a spell that leads to a hidden space like a sesame seed! It was so impressive that I was able to recall it in no time.
“The beginning and the end, creation and destruction.”
X is afraid to open his mouth.
“…!”
Sassasasa.
The surrounding sand began to be sucked into the floor. But there was no panic.
Veterans who have already been through numerous upheavals. X and Liglian exchanged looks and nodded.
Tiroling!
[Entering the dungeon ‘Culter’s Home Base’!]
With a notification, the two new types disappeared into the sand.
*
The reason for entering the cult’s stronghold was simple. Because X had witnessed a little bit of the power of other beings on the Severed Continent and the East Continent.
‘If White Paper or Kaimus used those abilities, they might get very tired.’
Hongdong and the high priest were commonly referred to as stone heads. Both of them missed their work due to feelings of inferiority or pride.
However, Kaimus does not know, but it was not a white paper. X, who had faced the white paper before, knew.
‘You have to nip it in the bud in advance.’
Wings of the Phoenix and Liberation of the Eight Gates.
In addition, the basic skills have reached the level of drama.
Now that we had a relative advantage in power, it was time to launch a preemptive attack.
However, when X opened his eyes amid rising sand dust, he could not help but sigh.
“You guys are quick to notice.”
An empty home of worshipers.
It looks like he took everything and ran away without leaving a single speck of dust behind.
Thumping.
A sphere of light appeared, illuminating the surroundings. It was a light summoned by Liglian.
Liglian said bluntly.
“If it were me, I would have run away. Was your performance average? Now that you have prevented the rebellion of the Severed Continent and the East Continent. “It’s only natural for them to move their headquarters.”
…Is this a compliment or an insult?
Liglian continued speaking for a moment before X felt uncomfortable.
“It looks like it lost its original function a long time ago.”
X nodded. The notification that came to mind when entering clearly said it was a dungeon.
“I think this place has become a dungeon.”
“Okay, looking at this dampness, it looks like it’s a dungeon. But it’s strange. “Even I have never seen a dungeon created like this.”
“Somehow, something sucks.”
Here, you had to be properly equipped. Equipped with dark iron armor, X raised the Titan’s arrow.
A typical dungeon is inhabited by regular monsters and boss monsters.
“Something is coming.”
Thing!
X’s eyes stared at the end of the passage. Thanks to my ‘intuition’ through which I consistently invested bonus points, I was able to vaguely identify the enemy’s presence even in the dark.
“The number is six.”
“Are they polluted creatures?”
“no. “It seems a little different.”
It was an unfamiliar energy.
As X became an explorer of the ancient kingdom, he was able to sensitively sense the alien energy unique to other beings.
But right now, I couldn’t sense any other energy from the enemies.
“But it looks dangerous.”
Instead, I felt wild anger.
Soon the enemies appeared. X and Liglian opened their mouths at the same time.
“That spirit?”
Although it had a similar appearance to a spirit, it was clearly different.
Protruding veins on the body and face.
Inverted white eyes.
Even the torn spirit wings.
Moreover, it was as big as a human being.
‘What on earth are these guys?’
bang!
After a moment of surprise, a spirit threw up its fist.
“The level is so crazy.”
It is the highest level in both the disconnected continent and the eastern continent. Moreover, it seemed to be the first time seeing a monster of this level on the Arba continent.
widely!
It was a powerful punch, but X countered with ease. Only X with overwhelming stats could do this.
Liglian, feeling the momentum, also gathered his strength.
“The wise man’s hat. Scholar’s pen. “A designer’s eye.”
He even used a buff that amplified his intelligence.
I had lost some steam due to the worshipers who had run away, but the excitement started to build again.
X fixed the Titan’s arrow.
‘I don’t know what it is, but I’ll find out when I see the end of the dungeon.’
This is why the spirits were transformed even though they were not influenced by other beings.
Shashak!
X threw himself among the spirits.
‘Berserker’s Beat.’
Shoo shoo shoo!
Evade a barrage of attacks with incredible movement.
“Just one thing for now.”
Sigh!
[Fatal blow!]
[Stun effect occurs!]
Strike the head with the back and stun it.
Sigh!
At the same time, the tip of the spear pierced the bodies of the two spirits.
[Fatal blow!]
[Fatal blow!]
Killed 3 level 1800 monsters in a split second!
How should we support X in close combat? Liglian, who was thinking, swallowed a sigh.
“…I guess you shouldn’t feel bad for being treated like a summons.”
I should have been grateful that they always treated me like an adult. Now that I see it, X seems like a very polite guy.
“It’s definitely different from that bastard.”
It was Liglian who had abandoned the prejudice against X that he had developed thanks to the Gourmet King.
*
In the first place, the worshiper’s home base was transformed into a dungeon, so the structure of the dungeon was simple. There was no problem as long as you only went through one passage.
After defeating the charging spirits, the level suddenly skyrocketed.
‘The level is definitely that of a gangster.’
Level 797!
The skyrocketing experience requirement was meaningless in the face of ultra-high level monsters. Of course, the ‘Paper’ stat that X consistently invested in had a big influence here.
‘As expected, there isn’t a single stat to throw away?’
X took the lead with a lighter step.
The passage wasn’t long.
As I exited the passage, a wide cavity came into view.
Papers scattered on the floor.
There were texts from unknown worshipers written there. It seemed like it was either useless or they were in a hurry to run away so they didn’t take care of it.
But their gaze was not directed to the floor.
X opened his mouth.
“…That’s not contaminated.”
“I think I know why the spirits appeared.”
“Anyway, I never imagined that I would destroy the rune stone?”
A collapsed rune stone.
Fragments of the huge rune stone were strewn everywhere.
Rune stones cannot be moved. It was obvious that it would be purged if left as is, so it was clear that it was better to destroy it.
Liglian was furious.
“Destroying the runestone that supports the Fate World. This is crazy. “This is an atrocity that only those who truly wish for the destruction of the world could commit.”
Rune stones can be said to be nature itself. Likewise, I felt like I knew why the spirits born in nature went berserk.
It was X’s first time seeing a destroyed rune stone.
“Anyway, I don’t think he’s an ordinary guy.”
An ordinary monster was level 1800.
The level of the boss monster should be over 2,000 at best. As we moved forward, the boss monster soon appeared.
oasis.
More colorful wings and outfits.
It looked like a leader of spirits. Unlike the spirits I had seen so far, there was no significant change in appearance even though it went berserk.
‘Except for crying.’
Drip.
Tears flowed down Oasis’ cheeks as she gently closed her eyes. However, the emotion I felt was not sadness, but quiet anger.
Anger at the worshipers who destroyed the runestone. Thanks to X entering the dungeon, he was able to handle his anger instead.
“It’s unfortunate, but I don’t want to be the target of my anger.”
X immediately used bear stance. Because the spirits’ magic had many unique mutation magics.
Kuddeuk!
Blood began to well up in X’s body. X found a gap in Oasis.
That was the time to run.
however.
Tiroling!
“…huh?”
The notification rang at an awkward timing. Soon, X muttered as if he was dumbfounded.
“…Hey, why isn’t there a place where they don’t participate? They didn’t even vote in favor.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
