chapter 148
148. Chapter 148
– Welcome to the challenge of the 13th floor.
– Subject: The monster that dyes the swamp
– Time limit: 96 hours
– You saved the swamp and its patron clan by defeating the corpse that was polluting the swamp.
– However, there are still more threats than corpse flowers in the swamps.
As soon as I read the ordeal, I was able to recall my goal.
Players arriving at the theme of the swamp for the first time may wonder what this means, but Seun had already passed the ordeal of the swamp once.
A monster that dyes the swamp.
It was clear that he was referring to the monsters raised by the Orc tribe in preparation for a battle with the Lizardmen.
As expected, the horse first brought up the story of the ordeal.
“thank you so much! Thanks to that, I was able to heal the swamp and even my friends!”
“Because it was something I had to do anyway.”
“By the way, one more problem remains… … .”
“Beast, right?”
“that’s right! Eun-in is really great. You’re messing with all our problems. It’s like a messenger sent by God!”
“hahahaha… … .”
A messenger sent by God
To be precise, a messenger sent by a demon god would be a more appropriate expression.
Well, since I heard the goal, there was no need to hesitate here.
I haven’t taken a break since the ordeal in the swamp started, but it doesn’t affect my condition in any way if I miss a few days.
It was partly because the player’s body was strong in the first place, and it was thanks to the increase in self-recovery speed and the decrease in the speed at which fatigue accumulated as it rose to the second level.
If possible, I won’t go to sleep until I’ve finished all of the swamp’s themes.
In order to obtain a high achievement, it was important to clear the ordeal as quickly as possible.
Even sleeping was a waste.
Of course, from the trials of the middle class, such stubbornness would not work.
“Oh, and the return!”
“It’s a reward. It doesn’t matter anyway, so take care of it.”
“no! You work so hard for us, we can’t sit still! While the benefactor is away, we will prepare a reward!”
“That’s it.”
“Have a safe trip!”
The witch of the Orc tribe.
Seun moved his feet to finish the ordeal in the swamp.
* * *
“Chwiik! What a fuss!”
The residence of the Orc tribe, with monster bones and skins hanging all over the town like decorations.
There, one particularly large orc frowned and approached the center of the commotion.
Every time I opened my mouth because of the protruding molars, there was a sound of air leaking, but even that sound was threatening because of the threatening impression.
“They say they captured a lizard.”
“You said you caught those loaches?”
“That’s it, it’s not very good. I guess I’m out of my mind.”
“Look out of the way. I will interrogate him myself.”
“yes.”
Recently, a drinking binge broke out in the place where the Lizardman tribe lived.
The sound reached even the Orc tribe, so of course they formed an investigation team and carefully explored the Lizardmen tribe.
But what is this?
Could it be that the tribe of Lizardmen, their only adversary in this swamp, has been devastated?
Buildings were collapsing, swamps hollowed out, and lingering flames scorched the surroundings.
It was as if dozens of meteors had fallen from the sky.
What was even more strange was that the body of the Lizardman was nowhere to be seen in the residence.
Have suffered a disaster or been attacked by an enemy. No matter what happens, it’s natural for a body to remain.
Although they are enemies, the pride of the Lizardmen who inherited the will of their ancestors must have been strong enough to protect the village even if they died.
As if even a ghost swept away, nothing existed in the Lizardman’s village.
So while searching repeatedly, the one I finally found was the Lizardman in front of me.
“Shh, shhh… … . easy… … .”
The Lizardmen were not bound. No, it didn’t seem necessary to tie it up.
Lizardman’s pride was thrown away, lying flat on the floor, curled up and biting my tail.
His eyes were tightly closed and his body was trembling, and the sound of trembling breathing came from his mouth as well.
An orc approached the lizardman for interrogation.
“Say your name.”
“Shh, shh… … .”
“… … You must be completely out of your mind. One pride was acceptable, but now it looks no different than a beast.”
How can I get information from that Lizardman?
The orc, who rolled his head for a moment, immediately shook his head.
When did you think and move?
Whether interrogation or battle, everything is the same.
strength. Only power solves everything.
bang!
“Tell me now. If you don’t tell me, I’ll crush you carefully, starting with the tip of the tail.”
“Shh, hee! Ah, the devil. it’s the devil devil!”
“I will say it again. if you don’t tell… … .”
“Bakan, please wait a moment.”
“Why are you blocking it?”
“What you just said. I don’t think I said anything to Bakan-sama.”
“what?”
The one in front of you right now is yourself, isn’t that what you said after looking at yourself? Is it possible to dare to think of other beings in front of oneself?
I wanted to say something nonsense, but there was no way that a subordinate would say such a thing without thinking.
Barkan, who had no choice but to lower his fist, stared at the Lizardman.
The more so, the Lizardman’s trembling only grew.
“Nonsense. oh, the devil shhhhh, everyone is going to die I can’t run away!”
“I’m completely out of my mind. It’s hard to get the right information.”
“Catastrophe! The devil will bring disaster!”
Lizardman couldn’t handle the tremors and bit his tail.
He bit so hard that the scales broke and fell off, dripping green blood from his flesh.
In that appearance, it was beyond mere fear, and even madness was visible.
“Take it away. Even if there is no information, it is enough to solve it by force.”
“Chwiik! All right!”
Bakan spat as if he was fed up and turned his back.
I should have turned my back right away when I first saw the condition. I felt like I had wasted my time for no reason, and the maddening screams of the Lizardmen somehow got stuck in my heart, and I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
The moment two orcs, who were directed by Bakan, grabbed the Lizardman by the arms and were about to take him to the execution site… … .
Kwaaang!!
An ear-piercing roar came from the entrance of the village.
Bakan frowned, and the other Orcs covered their ears in panic.
What happened?
While everyone panicked, only one creature was smiling as if he had expected this explosion.
“He came. The devil has brought disaster! Everyone will die! can’t escape! Shikiki kick!”
The Lizardman screamed with his half-cut tail dangling in his mouth no matter how hard he bit it.
Seeing that, a faint fear began to linger in the heads of the Orcs.
* * *
Orcs are no different from Lizardmen.
There are differences in terms of tactics and tactics, etc., as they focus on strength instead of being a little stronger, but their overall combat power is the same.
So, this time, Seun’s method of attacking the ordeal was the same as the ordeal downstairs.
– The power of ‘Inferno’ is enhanced according to the tricks of the Black Tower.
– Depending on the tricks of the green tower, the speed of ‘Tornado’ increases.
… … .
A 5th circle magic that Orcs would never have experienced in this narrow swampland.
It is to bring about that catastrophic magic and clean up from the entrance.
Of course, since the Orcs outnumbered the Lizardmen, they would run out of mana before killing them all.
– The stigma now responds to the Tale of the Legend of the Blood Rang.
– The stigmata’s first ability, ‘Fear’, is awakened.
If the impact was enough to manifest the first power of the stigma, then it was the stigmata’s turn.
The power of fear spread around and consumed the orc’s mind.
Orcs are known to be braver warriors than any other race. Although it was the Orcs who were not afraid of death and threw out an ax for their race.
“Chwi, chwiik!”
“This is too much… … Impossible!”
Under the power of terror, they became infinitely weak cowards.
Thanks to this, he was able to easily advance to the depths of the tribe while conserving the amount of mana.
‘There is a limit to the duration of the stigma.’
Just because it’s the Power of Fear doesn’t mean it can be used forever.
Just as magic uses the mana contained in the circle and martial arts uses the inner energy contained in the danteon, the power of fear also uses the divinity contained in the stigma.
Compared to the second ability, the power of frenzy, the speed of divinity consumption is slow, but it was best to maintain this for twenty or thirty minutes at most.
However, that didn’t matter too much. In about twenty or thirty minutes, I was confident enough to organize the orc colony.
“Is it you! That you destroyed the lizards’ village!”
After moving halfway through the village, hundreds of heavily armed orcs surrounded Seunun.
And over there, stood an orc with strong muscles and a size that made him think he was an ogre.
There were countless wounds all over his body, and a vicious glaive was in his hand.
‘As expected, he’s like an impatient chieftain.’
It was a monster that Sewoon knew very well because he was on the same side before returning.
The head of the Orcs, Berkal.
Although it was compared to an ogre, its fighting power was stronger than that of an ogre.
In terms of simple force, he is more than a Lizardman chief.
It was a difficult enemy to deal with with wide-area magic, so this time, Sewoon pulled out his sword and kicked the ground.
To protect the chieftain, the surrounding orcs rushed at once.
– Through internal air, the blood roar of blood and blood roar is strengthened.
– The power of martial arts is strengthened according to the description of Deep Gong.
aww-
“Chwiik!”
There was little difference from the battle in the Lizardman village.
No matter how orc he was, he could not block the red sword flying around him, and while he hesitated, he had already arrived right in front of the chief.
“dare. on human subjects. to me. Are you attacking?”
There was no sound of wind leaking from Berkal’s mouth.
The words were cut off, but each word was filled with power, and it was almost a feeling of pressure.
kind of fight.
However, he had no intention of losing in the Sewoon pottery fight.
“Where do you f*ck with orcs?”
– Through internal air, the fifth herb of the eighteenth sword of Taishan, Taishan Tackjeong (泰山壓頂) is strengthened.
– The power of martial arts is strengthened according to the description of Deep Gong.
Quaang!
Sewoon’s sword struck Berkal’s glaive with the weight of the mountain.
Rather than clashing weapons, there was a roar like two huge rocks colliding.
The wind pressure that arose with him spread to the surroundings and prevented the orcs from approaching.
If I interfered in this fight, I would be like a shrimp in a fight between whales.
“Everyone, stop interfering!”
“It is the battle of the chiefs. Are you going to interfere in the battle for honor?”
“Chwiik!”
Accordingly, the surrounding Orcs formed a circle around Berkal and Seun.
In an instant, a small stadium was completed.
As much as Orcs value strength, they don’t like being interrupted in these one-on-one fights. That is why this situation was created.
‘It’s me.’
It was very annoying to fight the chief and keep the other orcs in check, but thanks to that honor, I was able to fight more comfortably.
Kang, Kagan!
Berkal and Seun’s sword collided one after another.
Although Berkal had power beyond that of an ogre, Sewoon, who used the eighteen-and-a-half sword of Taesan and carried the weight of Taesan on the sword, was never pushed back.
no, rather.
Hard!
“On the human subject. Pretty strong!”
As the swords collided, Berkal’s heavy body was being pushed away.
The orcs around them held their breath and swallowed their saliva at the reality that was hard to believe even after seeing it with their own two eyes.
However, the outcome was already decided.
The proof was that Sewoon did not dare to use the Power of Jealousy in this battle.
The moment Berkal’s glaive stumbled, unable to withstand the weight of the eighteen-and-a-half sword.
– Through internal air, the third herbivore of the blood sword method, blood attack (血狼襲擊) is strengthened.
– The power of martial arts is strengthened according to the description of Deep Gong.
Kwajik!
Seun’s sword bit through Berkal’s gap like a wolf looking for a weak spot.
The muscle-encased neck was savagely ripped open, and a fountain of blood gushed out.
Berkal raised one hand to stop the bleeding in his neck and glared at Sewoon.
Since the carotid artery had been cut correctly, it was as if the match had already been decided.
If it was the Berkal that Seun remembered, there was a high possibility that he would concede the match here.
That moment… … .
Wooo-!!
‘This.’
A cry filled with demonic energy roared through the orc’s village.
