A cold metal door was blocking our front.
Snow-covered fog plains. And the mountain range that surrounds that border. The iron gate in the secret place seemed suspicious above all else.
The pagan who was climbing the ground said that was the entrance to the basement.
Is this the home of human trafficking?
The pagan said he was just one of the little roots. Their forces are enormous and extensive.
"Saint...! It feels like the entrance to the other side of hell...!"
"Glug...!"
"This place...! Where their sins are hidden...!"
The Bronze Society lunatics and Elise tried to have a seizure. I asked the pagan to calm them down.
"Hey, you said we could go underground, right?"
"Well, yes..."
"Are you guys making this?"
Building an underground facility like this was without jaws with dizzying funding. Personnel, money, materials. And we have to pull all the way to the distribution line to do a big construction, but we can drill the tunnel in a secluded area.
If pagans can do that, it means that the count is bigger than we think.
This naturally means that the business that is the funding line is also large. It inevitably means that nobles or merchants are more likely to become entangled in paganism.
Something terrible happened.
Of course it's an elixir.
"No... all I know is that we recycled the existing facilities..."
"Recycling? Who used it?"
"I don't... know about it..."
"Hmm."
I don't know if it's goofy.
Well, it doesn't matter now.
Anyway, this was an existing facility, and it was occupied and used by pagans. It's not something I can recognize about the former owner.
"Open the door."
"I see..."
The pagan who stood on his knees touched the door hard and choked. Suddenly, the door was opened with the lock unlocked.
Darkness.
The staircase down to the basement was the darkness itself.
- Tspot!
Winia uses light magic right away, and Bakerell takes the lead.
"Then...! I'll let you in!"
"What do you intend to do with pagans?"
"I think we should leave it here for now."
Barquerel instructed one of the Crusaders and one of the priests to take the pagans and stand guard at the entrance. As a result, there were a total of seven people going underground.
Me and Claudie. Winia. Elise. And Barquerel and the Crusader. One priest.
I haven't heard of their size. He didn't answer it like he was mentally manipulated.
Whatever it was, if we investigate this place, we'll be able to get significant information.
"Hmmm... This kind of facility..."
I stroked the stone wall like Winia was curious. As she said, the basement was fairly well built. I didn't just punch a hole like a tunnel, but I finished it with stone.
No walls, no stairs, no ceilings.
"I remember a long time ago when I went to a malleolus palace. Saint, isn't it similar?"
"Ah."
Leadbone arch.
"Yeah, that's it. That's it?"
It's a dungeon I went to a long time ago.
It was where the ancient warriors were buried, and there were countless skeletons. It was also a fairly high level underground facility as here.
Is there a connection between seedlings?
"Naked Bone Palace? The nigger said he was gone long ago?"
"Uh, it felt like here, too."
"Then this is a dungeon, too."
Dungeons.
"Even in the desert."
Claudie said.
"Like a dynasty grave, there was an unknown underground grave. How many times have I been there? Do you feel like this place?"
"The tomb of the Desert Dynasty? When did you go to such a place?"
"I've lived that long..."
Claudie, who was about to open her mouth, was flawed.
"... I've been there a few times. Because I did this."
"Uh-huh, what did you go to?"
"Trespassing was the main goal, but there were only monsters guarding the tomb inside. They were very strong."
"Hermie."
The monster that guards the grave...!
It was so inhuman!
"What kind of monster are you?"
"Hehe, I don't know. I don't know anything about identity in detail."
The desert that Claudie lived in did not seem to be a place for humans to live. As we talked about it, we went down an underground staircase where we had no idea how far it would go.
"... this is the end. Keep your silence from here."
Eventually we arrived at the end of the basement.
Barquerel grabs the doorknob in front of him with a stiffened face. Everyone was already carrying their own armor.
Winia lowers Light's magic firepower, and Bacquerel opens the door on that path.
- Yikes.
When I opened the door, I came out with a purple light like an amendment.
Purple light... I feel familiar with it.
The basement is so full of bright lights that you don't need light magic.
Anyway, we broke in very slowly.
- I...
The inside was quite wide.
I didn't have enough space, so I felt like a proper underground facility. It is well maintained. It was natural that pagans would have used it until recently.
There were even a lot of ways to get there.
"Never be lazy about the perimeter. Palladin, check the rear. Let's make a move."
I made a move as Barquerel instructed.
I keep Winia and the Priest in the center and move slowly while watching everywhere. Either Winia or Priest or both can use Hemispheric Shield Magic.
If something were to fly, it would protect us.
- Bugs and bumps.
I think I've been wandering around inside for a long time.
"Sound... Saint. Captain Barquerel."
Elise next to him stops the expedition.
"I think I can hear it somewhere."
"Sound?"
"You mean the sound? Tell me more, Sister Elise."
Is Elise catching something?
We immediately closed our mouths and listened.
"..."
Maybe I can hear something, maybe I can't... maybe I can only hear people who are a little deaf. However, Claudie was only eavesdropping and didn't know it.
"Elise? I can't hear anything."
"I felt like I heard something too... I felt like I heard it over there."
I don't think Elise knows.
"Let's do what Sister Elise says."
I didn't know anything about it anyway, so I should have just searched in one direction to find out what Elise heard. Then we took Elise to the bastion.
On the way, there was another staircase going down to the basement.
"... did you hear it here?"
Winia pointed to it with a staff and said,
"Hmm... I think I can hear something..."
"Cat. I don't know."
I don't think I heard anything but Elise. Well, there's a good chance Elise heard it for a second. That means there's something down there.
Then I have no choice but to go down.
"Captain Barquerel. If you have something like this, you should go down once. Would you like to go first?"
"Got it. Let's go down. If you hear anything, you'll be able to do something. Eat your heart out."
Barquerel goes down first with the blade forward.
We immediately followed. After all, the purple light was filled with underground light, so I was able to go down without difficulty because my vision was not restricted.
It was when I entered the basement second floor.
- Gwwwwwwww...
Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
- Miyeeeeeeeel...
Najib, no.
I started hearing crazy noises that were never kind. From this point on, we were forced to be extremely tense.
It was just the sound of cursed bastards covered in hatred.
"..."
Are pagans using people who have been financed by trafficking in human beings to organize a murder banquet? We walk in a straight corridor on the second floor of the basement with our mouths shut.
The strange sound seemed to come from the room in front of me.
- Currrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...!
- Gieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Interest! Interest! Giiiit!!
When I confronted the hidden truth on the ground floor.
We were forced to rip our heads off.
"What the...!"
"Ohhh...! Ohhhhh!!!"
"That...!"
In the basement, which was quite large and tall, there were long and long chains flowing as if they had entered the serpent's den, and they were restraining something.
Niaaaaaaaah!! Niaaaaaaaah!!
- Whoa, whoa! Bonobo! Bonobo! Bonanza!!! Bonanza!!!
- Daaaaaaaaaah! Loro! Mick, Taaaaaaaah!!! Ouch! Kum, Tak! Strong! Emperor Clothes!!
Strange screams were being held in numerous chains by monsters.
"What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"How abominable!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Barquerel, Crusader, and Priest clasp their heads and shout in a violent tone. Elise's eyes widened, and Winia was tense.
"That's..."
Claudie has eyes that seem to see something gross.
- Chul-kung!
- Shh! Shh!
- Kung! Kung!
The sight of monsters staring at us waving their arms and chains like crazy was, to be honest, so unrealistic.
Is this for real?
"Standing, Saint. This, this is...!"
Elise grabbed my wrist.
- Bait, study! Osam! Do-tak Kum! Bitch!!
- Dramatic! Le Maktihat! Disam!! Ohhhhhhh!
- Miyaahhhhh!!! Miyaahhhhh!!!! Mayaooooooooooo!!!! Nightingale!!
Odd brown fur and apricot leather. And the monsters covered in red embellishments and white bones looked like the flash golems that we saw long ago.
There were dozens of fingers and horns on the abnormally swollen arm, and the face looked like a novice plastician forced the head of a pig to look like a human face.
There was no unity, and the five monsters who were completely stunned were bound in chains, constantly speaking a strange language with their agary open.
"Abomination!!! Abomination of pagans!!!"
Bacquerel shouts.
Abomination... yes.
That's the Abomination.
"Hey, nigger, wake up! What are you freezing at?"
"What?"
Wake up?
I'm losing my mind...
"Mr. Seabaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa What the fuck is that?!!!"
This shocking reality could not exist!!!
"Subdue! The Abomination is currently in restraint!!! We must burn those cursed creatures to the ground!!!"
- Pa!
At that moment, Barquerel and the Crusaders both jumped into the Abomination. Only then did I fully regain consciousness. I also grabbed the knife and looked around.
I don't know what it is, but the pagan bastards were creating fucking star monsters!!!
But that doesn't matter now!
The battle has begun!
- Quang!
I immediately pushed the ground and headed to the left.
The confined abominations were so shocking that otherwise the basement was quite spacious and, above all, the black shape was now moving!
"The pagans appear in the left passage!!! Winia!!! Intercept me!!!!"
"...!"
The identity of the Black Shape was the pagans!
They're in here!
- Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The lump of fire that flew towards me at that moment was a strange light. - Quaang! But it was soon extinguished by Winia's fire bolt.
"Intruder!!!"
"Break the bonds of the abominations!!"
The pagans were holding Wand, and they seemed to have a lock here.
"Those bastards!!"
I immediately narrowed the distance between them.
On the left side of the basement there was a small path. The pagans in black were running towards you, but not faster than me!
"Fuck you!"
Immediately, I put a knife in them.
- Phew!
"Ughhhhhh!!"
The pagan, who pierced the back plate, screamed. Immediately, I pulled out the knife and stabbed him in the back of his head.
Quajic!
"Argh!!!"
"These bastards!!!!"
In the back, there was a terrible wave of monsters screaming. I slaughtered all five pagans who ran away in the corridor.
Killing them was extremely easy because they were neither fast nor strong.
But the last one left was a problem.
- Quang!
The farthest one hit the wall with the palm of his hand, and -- ooh! The basement is starting to shake.
No way! The suicide button!
"Khh! I have broken the seal of the Abominations! Now no one of you can go back alive.
"-Shut up!"
Suicide or indifference!
Immediately, I swung the swordsman archer who saved the man's life and tried to rejoin him on the way back from blowing up his branches.
"Crazy!"
Upon returning, the three abominations released from the restraint were running wild.
