Dungeon Reset

“What happens when you get to the top? ”

“The Black Queen awaits us. ”

“The Black Queen? ”

Chieftain Oh Chang-seok replied with a suspicious expression.

“Stage -4's helper referred to this place as the Castle of the Black Queen." And we called it the Infinite Helicopter Prison. ”

Chief Oh Chang-seok explained:

Castle of the Black Queen.

The interior of this conch shell was a spiral staircase.

Participants had to go up the stairs, circling along the wall.

To the top floor the Black Queen is waiting for.

And in the process, they had to wage battles with fantasies that were constantly converging.

The visions were different every time.

Sometimes I opened my mouth in the sky in the form of deep salmon, and sometimes I used my skills as the appearance of participants who had died before.

Or, he appeared in the face of a longing lover or family member and put a knife in the heart of the participants.

“It's really strange that it's the mind of a person. I knew it was a fantasy, but the vivid feeling of putting a sword in the heart of my family and friends with my hand remained a burden on my mind for the rest of my life. ”

While talking, Chairman Oh Chang-seok was making a miserable face.

The rabbit was a horse.

[If you go through that experience over and over again, it's either one of them. You lose the will to fight because your mind is broken, or you lose your humanity.]

In the case of Chairman Oh Chang-seok, it could be seen as the former.

[In the end, this is a training ground to strengthen the minds of the participants.]

“Training? You're talking shit. What kind of training is that? I'm just having a hard time. ”

I stopped admiring the rabbit's words and organized it in a word.

“Don't bother, we'll just climb up the wall. ”

“ ……! ”

[……!]

Eventually something came up.

Those who were comforted because they seemed to say something like that would make me feel like my heart was pounding.

“Here's my plan. ”

Jungdown naturally explained the plan by looking around at the people gathered in front of him.

“Climb up the wall on an octopus golem. And then you drill a hole at the top. It's easy, isn't it?"

“ ……? ”

“…… easy? ”

Easy as pie!

That's bullshit!

A lot of the voices of the heart resonated with people's faces.

However, it seemed like it was really easy.

“I think it would be easier to crawl up the wall than to fly into the sky and fight the sea bass. If you don't fall for nothing while fighting in the sky, it's a big deal. ”

Luckily, the building looked like a conch shell, so there was a slanted oblique area.

I thought I could crawl up that side.

[What about the other golems? Leave it?]

“Then you'll gain weight by hitting flotation. ”

At the end of the sentence, I took the phantom stone out of an instant and summoned the alpha, putting it into the bodies of gorilla golems.

“Alpha, inject just a little bit of vital energy. I'm not gonna float it up into the sky, I'm gonna lighten it up. ”

< I understand. >

It was so big that one of them was definitely too big.

The right down hit a phantom stone in the arms, legs, torso, and in each of the joints.

Let's do it.

Flash!

“Awesome?”

The gorilla golem tilts his head back and forth.

He felt his body lightened.

It used to be normal for the ground to vibrate after every jump, but now my body is distorted as if astronauts were running from the moon.

“Can't this be enough to fight? Even if it's hard to overwhelm them by weight, their power remains intact, so you can tear up a fish or something. ”

The Centauri Golem was excluded because it was difficult to climb the structural wall.

By the way, the remaining power is 3 Armored Gorilla Golems and 1 Basic Gorilla Golem.

And it was an octopus golem.

“Won't this be enough to fight alongside the golems? ”

[What if it falls off?]

“It's not falling from the sky, and that's about as far as you go. They're all fighters except me, right? ”

[I have a combat position too...?]

It didn't work.

Jungdown had an infinite fantasy and belief in combat work.

“Our ten-year-old Jin is flying in the sky. ”

[……?]

What, this persuasion?

It was definitely dangerous, but I kept hearing it, and it sounded more and more reasonable.

Did the real con man say he was a con man?

The participants nodded one by one in a sincere manner, believing that it would not be difficult at all... … but they quickly regained their senses.

“But wouldn't it be too dangerous? ”

The relief heat stepped up as a representative and appealed.

“Down, look up there! How many sea bass are there in the sky? ”

“Brother, you look more dangerous to me than a sea salmon. ”

“ ……. ”

I agree with the rabbit.

[Well, last time I saw you fighting, you ripped out a deep carp vertebrae with your bare hands. Gosh, I thought I was some new golem.]

“ ……. ”

The silent relief heat from the bunny's combined attack leaves you silent and retreat.

However, those around you hear him muttering in silence.

“...... It's hard to pull out the spine. ”

“ ……! ”

“ ……!? ”

The angry people shudder at him.

Finally, Jungdown looked at Ryu Seung-woo and said,

“Seung Woo, can you break through walls with your skills? ”

“I'll give it a try. ”

Ryu Seung Woo stepped forward without speaking a word.

Krrrrrrr!

At that moment, a bloody concussion pierced the wall, splitting like a spider web around his hand.

“be."

“It works.”

Jungdown and Ryu Seung-woo nodding, facing each other.

The calm expression made the other participants look puzzled.

I thought he was a strange one, but now I see Ryu Seung Woo was getting along well with him.

But it was then.

Wriggle!

“Huh? There! ”

Suddenly, a hole in the wall opened up and the black shadows inside turned their heads out as one!

People were frightened and shouted at the two standing in front of him.

“Watch out! The monsters are coming out! ”

“Oops? I have to stop him again. ”

Tight.

“ ……? ”

Jungdown shoved a dirt brick into the hole through Ryu Seung-woo and sealed it tightly.

Before that, Ryu Seung Woo simply took care of the shadows before they caught a specific shape.

“Now, why don't you go upstairs? ”

“ ……. ”

With a calm look on their faces, people had to pack their equipment without words.

* * *

Kihaaaak!

Gaaaah!

“Grrr!”

A fierce battle.

Darkness darkened as we climbed over the wall, and more and more deep salmon appeared.

But it was fortunate that there was a giant octopus golem that defeated the darkness.

The octopus golem continued forward with eight legs wrapped around the horns of the herald raised from the wall.

Participants had to concentrate on it, releasing their skills towards monsters from all over.

After halfway up, I couldn't really move or go, so I had nowhere else to turn.

Dead if bitten, dead if fallen.

What if you get tired?

I escaped into an octopus golem and ate a hot meal provided by Jungdown and lay down on the bed.

Then I was surprised.

“What? This bed is so fluffy!? ”

Participants were appalled at the tenderness that seemed to melt from their waist.

This was never the comfort you would feel in a dungeon.

“Shock absorption option is level 2. Relax when you rest. ”

The reaction of the people was so satisfied that they increased the beds to 2, the beds to 3, and then up to 5.

Eventually, participants took three turns relaxing inside and fighting aloe salmon outside.

Then, even though I didn't try to catch them myself, the deep salmon fish started pouring in.

Then Jungdown began to challenge other dishes.

“I tried soy sauce this time. ”

“ ……! ”

“This time, it's hot. ”

“ ……!? ”

“Eat with sushi. ”

“No, it's delicious! ”

Delicious rice, hard battles, and honey-like relaxations.

It couldn't have been a perfect combination.

Then, when people become depressed by the effects of the nightmare cast out by the shadow cat, the car comes out clean.

“This is a Tea of Screaming Herbs, and if you drink it, all the waste will be removed. ”

“ ……!? ”

Surprisingly, the Tea of Screaming Plants was the perfect way to deal with Shadow Cats.

I learned about it by experimenting with it myself.

Niyaang -!

[... Master, how long do I have to keep this thing in my shadow?]

“Why? Do you have nightmares? You want a cup of tea? ”

[I don't have nightmares because I can't sleep, but I feel like my body will melt away.]

A shadow cat lingers in the shadow of the approaching Bahamut.

I wanted to tame him, but he was so careful that he wanted to run away, that he circled the sunstone around Bahamut to make his shadow as small as possible.

Bahamut was melting metallurgically because of the heat coming out of the sunstone.

“Hang in there. Don't you think it would be nice to move in with a cat? ”

[I'm afraid I'll melt before that.]

“I'll go back to your hometown and fill your eyes later. But they're feeding you well, right? ”

[Yes…….]

In the meantime, there is one more mission for Bahamut.

Throwing sunstone debris at the Shadow Cat little by little.

At that time, the shadow cat, who was looking carefully, squirmed and swallowed sunstone as if it were a baby bird who was being eaten by a mother bird.

And I used to hide in the shadows again.

“My ears, they're cute.... ”

Jungdown resolved to watch him.

“I'll tame you one day. ”

The Alpha paid attention to him.

< Shadow Cat is an ominous beast. >

“Is it bad again? If you say it's ominous, everything looks good now. ”

< I have nightmares, but this time it's really ominous, isn't it? >

“That's why you asked Bahamuth to take over. ”

Bahamut was an undead rich.

The nightmare couldn't have been a problem at all.

“By the way, what about the magic of Bahamut? ”

[If not, I keep trying, but it's not easy.]

In fact, Bahamut was also becoming greedy.

Not long ago, he was a rich wizard who carried thousands of demons around his body.

After the change of affiliation, I was no longer able to cast evil spirits, so I was not uncomfortable.

I feel like my arms and legs are cut off.

It's not an evil spirit, but this Shadow Cat is also a sinister entity that doesn't exist.

I thought if I could work with these guys, I could recover some of my past abilities.

Moreover, he is now blind.

The only weakness of the eyes is the light and heat that melts the eyes.

However, his weakness disappeared as long as he was able to cast a shadow cat that ate the light.

Bahamut gleams.

[I'll keep trying.]

But the effort was nothing.

Constantly throwing food.

Metallurgical intimacy.

And... to attract attention by waving a branch in front of the person who is wary of him.

Meow.

It took a lot of effort.
