ACT 7 Dungeon Keeper
Chwajijijijijik!
A big underground enclosed room was flooded with darkness Violent sparks suddenly spread fro of the closed room The sparks jumped and concentrated on the satellite antenna installed in the rooed into hundreds of people at the same time
“They’ve arrived!”
Several beasts and coalition athered around the antenna shouted
“They’ve coaran’s allied forces!”
Hundreds of soldiers appeared aht They were the selected elite soldiers of Nagaran’s allied forces They arrived at the underground room on the 60th floor where the raccoons had installed the aran……
“Kuaaaaack! F-fire!”
“Ugh! D-disgusting…… B-bag……uweeeeeek!”
The users ran back and forth and screaround while others with their heads on fire sla while others were stretched on the ground like they were dying Ark was also on the ground and vo
“D-dammit… What on earth…this is?”
He had travelled around New World using the Letter Movement However, the quantum movement seemed many times more horrible While the Letter Move shaken in a jar, the quanturinded in a blended It really was a horrible feeling In fact, 70~80 of the users’ health was lost thanks to the quantum movement If they had moved any further then all of the soldiers would probably by dead Ark realized once again to not trust in Wormer’s inventions
“I already told you I ht problem with the stability The quanturound could be avoided If I had the quantum machine from my base then the conversion rate would’ve been 100 Well, even so……”
That’s right The quantum machine was made in a rush so it couldn’t convert the users 100 According to Wormer, the conversion rate was around 70~80 Therefore while Ark’s group had been ravel and rocks That hy soht on fire or had bruises over their whole bodies However, surprisingly Wormer was fine
“Who would be har people these days have weak minds”
Wormer twirled his beard and murmured He was the one who tested his inventions so he wouldn’t even blink an eye if he was turned into a
‘Anyway, at least we’ve all arrived alive’
Ark barely recovered his spirit as he looked around After Alan had occupied Silvana, he had order the coalition eon to hide on the 60th floor There were 1,800 people but 1,500 consisted of the Meow, Wolrang, raccoons and the Eastern Nation The losses of these NPCs would be catastrophic to Dark Eden As Ark directed, the members of Dark Eden had enclosed themselves inside a room on the 60th floor That room was the place where Ark moved with his selected users While Ark braced himself, the coalition members ran up
“You’re here!”
Ssak ssak ssak, ssak ssak ssak ssak!
But Radun was the first one to greet him as he moved around Ark’s waist
“Well done Radun The current status?”
Ark stroked Radun’s head as he asked Then Boraroup replied
“The demons are currently on the 56th floor”
“That’s one day after they’ve entered the 51st floor…… It is pretty fast”
But it was natural for Alan to move quickly When Ark had first entered the Abyss, it had taken hiree of difficulty in the Abyss was different from the 50 floors before it However, that hen it was full of elite , it was difficult to see any monsters in the Abyss at the erous area with various traps, it wasn’t enough to slon Alan’s group Bora
“The movements of the demons suddenly slowed down on the 55th floor I’ve beenthe for the stairs down from the 55th floor”
‘Huhuhu, it is like that’
A satisfied s Boramae’s words In fact, Ark had two aims when he used Racard One of it was to use Racard to distract Alan’s group so Radun could be safe And the other reason was to slon the roup After Alan captured Racard, he probably got his hands on Worn wasn’t for the receiving but the transmission device
‘There are no monsters in the Abyss Of course, that is because of Dark Eden’s NPC unit but Alan doesn’t know that If he knew then he would kill the NPC unit in order to weaken Dark Eden’s power’
And Ark had sent Racard into the secret dungeon without telling hiy He was informed that there were 3,000~4,000 troops inside the Abyss And when Racard entered the Abyss, Ark would use the remote communication to explain more
‘And Alan will get that information’
Ark didn’t expect that Racard would be able to keep his ht then there was no doubt that Alan would obtain the inforht and there was no way for hinore the possibility that a group was hiding soh every corner of every floor before advancing to check for any ambushes Therefore Ark had used Racard to distract and slon Alan It was achieving two purposes at once
‘Alan will never iine that I am on the 60th floor’
“Nohat do we do?”
Boramae looked at the collapsed special attack unit with a sceptical expression It was reasonable There were only 500 people in the special attack unit When combined, it was only 2,300 people On the other hand, Alan led 10,000 deuild They had to somehow stop Alan until the allied forces captured Silvana and joined them Furthermore, the special attack unit was in this state as soon as they arrived But Ark’s face was full of confidence
“Our airoup but to stop them! We have to buy time until the allied forces arrive”
“But won’t that be difficult?”
“No, not at all”
Ark said with a smirk
“No! Is it show tieon! It is the reason I ca Good I’llmy inventions into scrap iron Oh, what? Didn’t I say to bring it quickly? I said, athem all to me!”
Wormer waved his arms and shouted
“What is with that noisy pig?”
Ark smiled at Boramae’s question and replied
“My secret weapon to thwart Alan”
—————————————————————————————————————-
“Alan-niain!”
Athe area exclairound valley where there was a signpost
<dungeon keeper=”” says=””>
Danger! I can’t assure ill happen to you
If you don’t want it to happen then turn back
“These bastards really……”
Alan’s face distorted after reading the contents Then the Avenger said carefully
“Alan-nim, e do?”
“What?”
“The last ti……”
“Then you want to believe the warning and turn back?”
Alan glared at the Avenger er member flinched and stuttered
“T-that’s not……because we can’t search for the traps in the Abyss……”
“Fool! Why do you think I brought along 10,000 demons?”
Alan shouted with irritation
“Jewel!”
“Yes, Alan-nim”
“Order 200 Tallons to march into the valley!”
“Understood Tallon unit stand in line!”
Jewel shouted and the Tallons gathered in front of the valley Fear of the unidentified monsters shone in the Tallons’ eyes But they were tied by the black obelisks and couldn’t’ refuse Alan’s coh they tre towards the valley at Alan’s co with fear was because of the signpost the Avenger member discovered After Alan and the deeon, they had steadily eon weren’t a ed once they crossed the 50th floor towards the 51st and the Abyss Theforward like normal Then they encountered the cannibalistic rocks! And the floor suddenly dropped and sent hundreds of deht The demons weren’t threatened by the monsters but by traps These traps were artificially created so it was impossible for the hunters to discover it in advance
‘But that’s not the recent problem’
Alan bit his lip with an annoyed look Currently Alan was on the 59th floor He had broken through 9 floors on the Abyss After h 9 floors, they could soe on the 59th floor A signpost had caught their eyes as soon as they entered the 59th floor
<dungeon keeper=”” says=””>
Welcome to the Abyss!
Welcome to any explorers of the Abyss I have soerous cave
This road erous Please watch your feet
“What the, what is this?”
Alan thought it was just a joke when he saw the first signpost He had ignored it and just walked past Suddenly a huge number of rocks poured down like hail from both sides They weren’t just rocks
“Huck! T-these are the cannibalism rocks!”
“Kueeeek!”
When the Avengers and demons were hit by the rocks, their flesh and bones were sucked into it It soon becanposts If it said ‘look after your feet’ then lava would pour from above or ‘look above’ and acid would shoot out fro this situation a few tio the opposite way but then the traps started occurring fronpost So around……!
‘What the? These aren’t like the natural traps experience so far Obviously someone created these traps intentionally The only think I can think of it the Dark Eden members the bat spoke about’
But the probleured out the opponent There were a lot of signposts on the 59th floor In other words, there were many traps laid out like spider webs In a place like this, carelessly distributing the troops to search for Dark Eden was like suicide Of course, if someone had installed the traps then hunters or thieves should be able to sense the traps But these weren’t sinposts were cleverly linked to natural traps so finding the for a needle in a wide desert Alan couldn’t move forward until he found the traps one by one
‘That Ark, I can’t believe he discovered infored the alliances of Nagaran into this’
The allied forces were currently surrounding Silvana and striking violently It would be a proble Silvana were coaran allied forces would flock into the secret dungeon And the combined forces would join up with Ark Since Alan had already cleared the monsters, it would only take them 2~3 days to catch up with Alan
‘If I keep on searching for traps then there is no telling ill happen’
Alan was running out of time
‘Fortunately we’re al but the only way is to sube’
So Alan instantly sacrificed victi demons like the Hemeras and the Dullahans He didn’t knoould happen in the secret dungeon so he bought as much demons as possible to reduce the casualties So he had the low ranking deer the traps In other words, it was the syste the traps with their bodies It was the reason why the Tallons trembled with fear as they advanced
“What are you doing? Hurry!”
Alan roared at the Tallons who ht
“Huhuhu, itable to control dereat”
Anyway, the Tallons npost was A flag on the signpost suddenly snapped up
<dungeon keeper=”” says=””>
You have ignored the warnings and now there will be a penalty
“Be on the lookout!”
Alan shouted as Tier and den that a trap had been triggered And it wasn’t a simple trap that had been activated so no one could predict the effects However, a long ti happened Alan observed the situation for a while before his face warped
“Dammit, it was just a bluff?”
Alan becaround of the 59th floor But not all of the written on the signpost, so would happen That was the reason why he decided to sacrifice the ht waste several hours looking for a trap that wasn’t there
“damn, all troops advance into the valley!”
“Alan-nim!”
Then one of the Avengers flinched and pointed near the signpost Alan turned and saw that sonpost It was a sers and deht crossed the valley and
<dungeon keeper=”” says=””>
Byung, did you think it was safe?
‘What, what the?’
“Scatter! Get away from here as quickly as possible!”
Ka kwang, ka kwang!
A huge sound rang out fro quickly! Cracks started to spread on the ceiling as sharp rocks fell like hail over the heads of the deers
“Ack, what the hell?”
Alan turned and ran 100down from above The sounds of broken bones and pierced flesh as well as screa of de rocks but they had their health shaved away
“Quickly arrange into units and report the dae!”
“The 3rd and 4th Tallon unit has been destroyed!”
“The 6th and 9th He destroyed!”
“The 13th unit is down to 40 health……kuaaaack!”
Pepeng, pepeng, pepeng, pepeng!
An Avenger screa the dust
“What is going on? Magician unit, bloay the dust using wind ic!”
“Spirits of the wind running through the blue sky……Wind!”
The icians recited spells and a storht revealed
