Chapter 36 (1/2)
Chapter 36 – Come to Think of It, I’m a Hero (4)
Artpe ran through the Dungeon with his Read All Creation ability activeHe was able to find the trapHe was able to assess the number of the nearby enemies and their abilitiesHe was also able to eon
His existence made any traps and ambushes irrelevantMoreover, no one could endure le attack fro without rest, yet she was barely able to keep up with them
“They are strong······!”
“That is the third line in the ‘50 lines that no one survived after saying it’You must have studied it a little bit”
Artpe had been running while he kept a hold on Aena’s handHe lightly infused Mana into his daggerThe dagger pierced through the throat of a retreating soldierWhen the soldier fell, the blackin the back was revealed
“B…blessing of the clandestine darkness……”
“Hoohng”
His opponent revealed his identity as a black er planted inside the throat slid out as it rose into the air againIt eician’s heart
The black ician had no idea what had happened to himHe fell helplessly to the floor as Maetel also took care of the re soldiers in a flashShe mumbled to herself as if she was dumbfounded by what had occurred
“They are too weak”
“Do you rereatest chef?”
“Yes!I want to eat food that was cooked by that demon!”
Artpe looked at her with peculiar eyes when she said those words
“It see a once in a lifetime food here”
“How do you know that?There are only bad people here”
“There is a reason”
If there was a powerful Deood chance that Artpe and Maetel would suffer a defeatHowever, this was probably a minor plan, so ould they dispatch a De that was done lightlyAll the black icians up until noere humans, and none of them were over level 50
In truth, the Deainst the heroHe sent the weakest ast his subordinates to do all his tasksThis was also true when he dealt with the joint forces
It soest survival regardless if they were allies or notAnyways, nowas an idiot
“R…run away…!”
“No, we can’t run away”
“We…we have to call him…”
“No, we can’t call him”
The weak typically ran ahen a strong opponentaasn’t an option, they called for reinforcementOf course, it was useless in front of the all-around hero Maetel and the rotten hero Artpe
“Koohk!”
“Kah-hahk!”
They were all killed as soon as they were found, so news didn’t floards the inner Dungeon where others were on standbyThis hy they died saying similar lines or they died before they could even speak
Artpe planned ona manuscript that wrote down the most common phrases spoken before death bythose repertoire of phrases
“Use the transic!”
“That isn’t working either”
“Kahk!”
At the very least, Artpe was vigilant about their use of transicThey didn’t have to be afraid of anyone within the Dungeon, but if an officer of the De’s army could be mobilized, there would be no countermeasure
Of course, transic was useless in front of his Read All Creation ability and Mana StringHis opponents couldn’t even usea siicor a curse
“D…do you guys realize what you’ve just done!”
“Yes, we already know, so you don’t have to explain it to us”
“Kuh-huhk!”
It was as if the soldiers deluded the they were the archduke, and the black icians put on air as if they had risen to the seat of the DeHowever, they were all killed by Maetel’s sword and Artpe’s dagger before they could utter their threats
The 1st floor ended in short order, and the 2nd floor also didn’t take too long
Aena was getting tired as she tried to keep up with them
“How…HehkThis is…”
“Shhh”
When they descended to the 3rd floor, Artpe spread his Mana Threads in all directionsHe immediately asked for silence from his party membersThen his expression crumpled in a rueful manner
“As expected of a first Quest…The Dungeon ends at the third floorHowever…The Quest started a bit too lateTsk”
“Sometimes Artpe says some very profound words”
“The children are here……?”
The curse present in the atmosphere of the 1st and 2nd floor was bearable for normal peopleHowever, it was possible to see the curse with one’s eye on the 3rd floorIt looked like a very thick fog
“Koohk, ……!”
When he saw that Aena’s complexion had immediately turn pale, he took out the obsidian as he clicked his tongueIt sucked in all the curse residing within the atmospheric Mana
Aena’s co wouldn’t subside until he could get rid of all the curse in the atotten rid of her curse earlier
“We’ll be running at full speed from now onAena, you have to run as if your life’s on the lineUnderstood?”
“I…I understand”
The 3rd floor was unusually quietThere were only three people running across the floor, so shout the hallwayAll the traps were disabled and destroyedThe soldiers and black icians that had shown up on the 1st and 2nd floor every tiotten bored weren’t present hereThe curse on the 3rd floor had been strong enough to be dangerous to them too
“It is so quiet that it isme feel very uneasyArtpe……”
“Don’t worryThe children aren’t dead yetAt the very least, not all of them”
Artpe’s words hinted at so aboutThe expression on the faces of Maetel and Aena hardenedHowever, their steps quickened as if they were responding to their emotions
Maetel bravely ran through the Dungeon filled with the curseArtpe tied the Obsidian of Greed to a Mana String, and he rotated it to suck in all the curseHe kept storing the curse as he followed her
Aena followed behind the her eyesShe held a branch in her slender handsShe had brought it with her as her weapon, and her heart shook like the branch
They passed one room than another
Maetel suddenly came to a stop when they went past the 3rd room
“······ooh”
“Warrior-nim?”
“Ooooooh”
A groan leaked out of Maetel’shis surrounding with his Read All Creation ability, so he knehy she was reacting that way
If possible, he hadn’t wanted her to see this sightHowever, the Obsidian of Greed sucked in all of the fog created by the curseIt hter, so it was impossible to miss it
“······they are dead”
Maetel spoke with a tre voiceOne could see a deadin a pool of its bloodArtpe kept silent as Aena also caught sight of the monster
The monster had a ss were abnor tattered human clothes, and it was crusted with dried brown blood
“AhAh-ooooh”
When she confirmed the other monster corpses, Aena let out an inarticulateclothes or accessories that would allow her to identify the to her
Artpe was able to find out that the children had turned intohis Read All Creation abilityHowever, he kept that fact to himselfAll the dead saeng
“Why did they kill them······?”
“That I do not knowIf their goal was to make children intoThey must have had a planThe fact that they killed the children instead of sending them out into the world…”
It was hard to co’s army wanted to sow confusion in the outside world, they would have sent thethe curse, yet the monsters were killed?It was an idiotic move
If not, maybe there was a plan that Artpe was unable to discern?
“It must have hurt a lot”
While Artpe was going through his thoughts, Matel mumbled to herself in an absent minded mannerThe monsters had died as they spit out blood, and Maetel couldn’t turn her gaze away fro had broken within her
“It must have hurt a lot…It must have hurt a lot…”
“Maetel”
