Main Character Hides His Strength

26. King of Doom (1)

“ ……. ”

What a waste.

Kim Sung-cheol looked around.

There is not a single Nahaq broken with hot blood.

However, the effort and time that have been put into giving up like this is too little.

Kim Sung-cheol circled around the black cemetery to see if there were any gaps.

There were no gaps.

Only explosions that will force the entire dungeon to explode.

‘Is there anything I can do? ’

Anyone who knows how to do it knows how.

Mimi Azrael.

We need her.

Kim Sung-cheol immediately took action.

I went back to the open road, smashed with a hammer, looking for a young woman wizard with five - or four - homunculus.

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol found a clue.

It was a homunculus that turned black as charcoal.

Next to it, two spheres of burnt Sword Adapter lie fallen.

“She got stepped on, I guess. ”

Bertelkia said.

Kim Sung-cheol observed the footprints scattered across the floor.

Mimi Azrael fled to the north, followed by at least 10 people.

Kim Sung-cheol quickly walked a dungeon piled up in a bright green light along the footsteps.

Soon after, Kim Sung-cheol found two soldiers resting on the floor.

A soldier of the Punishment Force.

They looked down at Kim Sung-cheol as if they didn't even have the strength to speak.

Kim Sung-cheol passed by them.

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol discovered another Homunchlus corpse.

This time, there were only debris scattered so far that even the shape could not be recognized.

Kim Sung-cheol found another homunculus that died this way and soon met the owner of the homunculus.

“Ugh…"

There was Mimi Azrael, who was so miserable that she was punished for being alive.

Her body sticks to the wall with a dagger in both hands, and blood splashes down like a well.

Around her are three Sword Adapters from the Ancient Kingdom, chatting in the streets.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol approached her.

“Who are you?”

Three Sod Adapters spotted Kim Sung-cheol's movements and drew their swords together.

Kim Sung-cheol's answer was Arm Karaz.

Boom! Boom! Puck!

Kim Sung-cheol approached Mimi Azrael, leaving behind three corpses that had been smashed in the head.

“Oh, my God... that's too much. How can a person do this...”

Bertelkia hides behind Kim Sung-cheol's back as if she couldn't even see it.

Kim Sung-cheol took the healing potion from the soul storage and fed it to Mimi Azrael.

“Ugh... ugh...”

The life force of Mimi Azrael was relentless.

“H-one more...! ”

She struggles to drink up to a drop, biting the potion's entrance like a starving baby suckling.

Kim Sung-cheol took out another potion as she ordered and fed it to her.

“Th-thanks... but who are you? ”

Then I knew Kim Sung-cheol.

Two eyes that should sparkle between tangled hair have already been impaled by something sharp.

"Darkness leads to fear. What a cruel way to torture. I don't know which one did this, but I haven't done it once or twice. ’

Kim Sung-cheol revealed himself to her to make her think so.

“34.”

“Ah, it was you. Somehow. Wait a minute."

She gets up and tries to walk.

But she sat down before even extending her knees.

Kim Sung-cheol found a sharp wound behind her two ankles.

“You lost the Achilles case. Those wounds cannot be healed with potions. You need to be treated directly by the High Septon. ”

“Damn... damn... bastards...”

Mimi Azrael sits on the floor muttering a cursed word.

Kim Sung-cheol waited for her excitement to subside.

“Who did this? Willie Gilford or Michael Gilford? ”

“Neither. I thought Michael Gilford was just going to slap me. Michael Gilford's butler did this. Who knew a decent human being could be such a vicious torturer? ”

She trembles, thinking of the nightmare she just had in front of her eyes.

“… we have to hurry. They figured it all out! ”

“Which one? ”

“A way to find King Nahaq's tomb. It was quick.”

“I need Nahaq's blood alive to open King Nahaq's tomb. Is that possible?"

“I gave them the location of Nahaq alive. They're probably headed there by now. ”

“Where the hell is it? ”

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes sparkled.

Mimi Azrael wiped the blood off her forehead with her sleeve.

“Take me with you. I'll show you.”

Kim Sung-cheol picked her up and carried her on his back.

“Can you hang on? ”

“That's all I have left. ”

Later, Mimi Azrael told Kim Sung-cheol what she knew.

A place where the Nahaques are alive.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes slightly shook.

“You're at the cave elf's residence? ”

It's unbelievable.

But even if I couldn't believe it, I had to do what Mimi Azrael said.

Kim Sung-cheol, holding Mimi Azrael, stood in front of a small crevice in the corner, the entrance to the fourth floor underground.

After a whirlwind blows through the cracks.

There are countless dead cave elves on the ground.

Kim Sung-cheol followed the blood trail to the human footsteps.

Beyond the dark cave lies a large cavity.

Inside the void of absolute darkness that never shines a beam of light stood an endless tent of feathers and bones, and the shells of snakes and worms.

A city of cave elves.

“There's a farmhouse in the southeast. ”

Mimi Azrael said.

“The ranch?”

It sounds strange.

“There's the enemy! ”

Bertelkia shouts.

A group of cave elf warriors appeared in front of Sung-cheol Kim.

Kim Sung-cheol took out the horse wagon cassandra and hit the floor.

The unique echo spread sharply, and the cave elves ran back without even thinking about fighting.

He had already known through experience that the human being in front of him was invincible.

Kim Sung-cheol drove through a number of cave elf warriors in a similar way, unknowingly, to a place called the ranch in question.

The stench of bitter feces touches the tip of your nose.

I could hear the sound of a bird crying.

Kim Sung-cheol walked into a large tent made of bones and feathers.

And I saw it.

“Cough... Cough...! ”

The existence of an elder, trapped in a huge chicken coop made of bones.

It had bird beaks, wings, and a human body.

It's Nahaq.

However, the existence of the legend was making the sound of an animal trapped in a chicken coop that I could not hold.

“Cough, cough...”

Not just him.

All Nahaq, trapped inside hundreds of chicken coops, were not just livestock, but great beings who ruled the earth and the sky.

The slaughterhouse in the corner of the tent and the body of Nahaq, who was hanged with his neck cut, firmly proved Kim Sung-cheol's thoughts.

Mimi Azrael on her back opens her mouth as she senses the stench of nasty bird poop on her nose.

“After the fall of the Nahaq Kingdom... the cave elves began grazing the surviving children of the Nahaq into livestock. The Nahaq here are destined to be slaughtered as soon as they're locked up in a chicken coop, raised like animals, laid eggs, and aged. ”

“Perhaps the best revenge means something. ”

Kim Sung-cheol remembered the dead bodies of countless cave elves who had been buried alive in the dungeon walls.

“Where did you find the clue? ”

Kim Sung-cheol looked around and asked.

“I noticed a weapon used by some of the Nahaq. They were wearing birds' beaks and feathers. ”

“That said, ”

The cave elf that appeared in front of Sung-cheol Kim earlier was also decorating a similar cave.

“But where are the birds in this deep underground place? If the cave elves are coming out of the dungeon, how can they catch birds flying free of sight? And that led to a hypothesis. ”

“That's great. ”

Suddenly, one thought passed through Kim Sung-cheol's mind.

“You've been here before, haven't you? ”

“Yes.”

“Why did you fail? ”

“I've been waiting too long. Until we figure this out. ”

“I see.”

Kim Sung-cheol pulled out a Nahaq in the chicken coop.

“Cough! Cough! ”

It was a young fluid.

Like the rest of the Nahaq, there is no intelligence.

Bertelkiah looks around the Nahaq and says, looking carefully.

“Hmm. Is this the legendary Nahaq? It looks like it's just like a chicken in a farm. ”

“Cough!”

Suddenly, the young Nahaq pecks Bertelgia with his beak.

“Ouch! It hurts! You bird head!”

Kim Sung-cheol watched the scene and said in a bold voice.

“Bertelkia. Come into my pocket. ”

“Why?”

“We're going at full speed. ”

Bertelkia stumbled into Kim Sung-cheol's pocket without a word.

Kim Sung-cheol took a deep breath and ran forward, exerting the divine power that was in his body.

The cave elves felt an unbelievable presence crossing their territory at an unbelievable speed, although they could not see it.

After returning to the dungeon through the gap again, Sung-cheol stopped for a moment and measured the direction.

“Hey.”

Mimi Azrael on his back opens his mouth.

“What's going on? ”

Kim Sung-cheol said without turning his head.

“You. You're really strong. I can feel it. Though I can't see them. ”

Kim Sung-cheol could feel a sigh of relief coming out of Mimi Azrael's upper back.

“No more jokes. ”

“I've got Nahaq now. What color are the feathers? ”

She asks a question with a different voice.

“White. ”

“Oh, right. ”

“Why do you ask? ”

“Suddenly I'm curious. And one of the things we caught before was blue and white. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim didn't feel the need to answer.

Mimi Azrael asks again.

“Can I ask you a favor? ”

“This is the last time. No more chitchat. ”

“Have you seen my homunculus? Not the dead, but the living. ”

“All I saw were three bodies. ”

“I see. That means one's still alive." No, two marines? ”

Mimi Azrael untied the arm that was holding Kim Sung-cheol's neck.

Tuck.

Her new brother fell under Kim Sung-cheol's feet.

“What is it?”

Kim Sung-cheol looked down at her sitting on the floor and asked.

“I'll stay here. I don't want to see the person who did this to me again. ”

“They are not my opponents. ”

“Nevertheless, the mark of fear on my body is not easily erased. ”

Mimi Azrael, blind and unable to walk, looks around and cries out in a sad voice.

“Woojicha! Woojicha! Where are you? ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol abandoned her and ran to King Nahaq's grave.

Soon after following the path he had made, the black square shaped tomb appeared.

But there were uninvited guests in front of the cemetery.

The Ancient Kingdom's prosecutors.

At its heart stood a man named Michael Gilford and Audrey.

“Let's sprinkle the blood of this chick on this altar! ”

In Audrey's bloodshed, a young john claps his wings.

He had a white feather just like Kim Sung-cheol had brought with him.

Audrey slits Joyne's throat with her sword without hesitation.

“Cough!!! ”

Red blood spills from Joyne's body.

Audrey lays the body of a bleeding Joyne on the altar.

Nahaq's blood fills the recessed altar.

‘Maybe I'm too late. ’

Kim Sung-cheol stood behind and watched the situation.

A geometric pattern appeared on the surface of the black tomb.

Magic factions, something like that.

‘You're a magician I don't know. It's Nahaq's magic.’

The ground begins to vibrate.

Something was about to happen.

A cemetery.

The black tomb of the square was being torn in half, revealing what was inside.

Michael Gilford clenches his two fists and stares at the black cemetery with a long face.

“Finally. You did it! I finally did it! ”

He approaches Audrey with the corpse of Joyne and speaks in a joyful voice.

“Old Audrey! We did it! We did it. ”

“Not yet, it's not time to put the tension on. Young master, didn't I tell you? that you have to finish well to get to the top. ”

“Yes, I did. ”

Michael Gilford smiles awkwardly and looks nervous.

Soon, the earthquake ceased.

The tomb is open.

Everyone breathes and reaches the open grave.

Kim Sung-cheol also quietly approached them.

Inside the tomb are two vertical coffins.

“Two coffins? Are there two kings of Joyne? ”

Michael Gilford scratches his head and says,

It was unexpected, but he said cheerfully.

“Two coffins is better. I have a lot to take. ”

At the end of his talk, two tube caps opened on their own.

The Ancient Kingdom's prosecutors watched as the coffin lid opened while killing their breath.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity.

The body in the two coffins was dressed in a very fancy outfit and was armed with jewelry decorated with jewelry, so it seemed noble to anyone, but there was one fatal problem.

It wasn't a joint that was in the coffin.

One without beaks and wings.

Cave Elves.
