Chapter 1719 – 1719. The Blacksmith
The party party is dragged to the temple by them.
I quietly followed him. The important thing in tailing was distance control. If you’re too close, you’ll get noticed, and if you’re too far away, you won’t know what you’re doing.
‘If you’re going to kill me, just kill me on the spot. There’s no reason to drag her to the temple.’
This means that they are not simply dragged to the temple to be killed. I’m more curious about what he’s hiding.
‘To wipe out everything alone and leisurely investigate the temple… It would be impossible. These bastards are not normal.’
If we fight separately, I win. Conversely, it is dangerous to fight all of them from the front. I don’t know exactly what they’re doing, but they have some level of skill.
‘I’ll have to be more careful when I go into the temple.’
I prepared an illusionist. When in danger, use it without hesitation. The moment you save your battery, you’re going to do the worst.
“Ooh, where are you taking us?!”
“Shut up and walk.”
Said the bearded man in a low voice. There is no appearance of him full of leisure outside the temple. He was obviously nervous.
The interior of the temple was simple, unlike its huge and magnificent appearance. A structure that is connected in a straight line to the inside. Just walk forward and you will naturally head towards the center of the temple. I knew that this place was not made for human habitation.
As we went deeper, we could see blood stains on the floor and bloodstains splattered on the pillars. It can be seen that there are quite a lot of people who were brought here.
‘When I saw the reaction of the staff at the entrance of the dungeon… They probably didn’t just catch and kill the hunters who entered.’
Against Hunter, the variables are too big. If you need to kill people here… It is far better to kidnap people from outside and kill them. In the case of illegal immigrants, no one cares if they suddenly disappear.
‘This kind of road gets narrower.’
It is difficult to follow.
In this case, it is better to give up tailing. It’s much safer to go in and check after they’ve finished their business.
‘Then you don’t know exactly what they are doing. Let’s put on the illusionist and go in.’
Seeing their level gave me confidence. If I make up my mind and run away, they won’t catch me.
Torches were hung on the inner walls of the temple where sunlight did not enter. The road continued all the way inside. The further inside, the more bloodstains.
And came out at the very end. A lot of space came out. A staircase in the center and a table like a bed. That was definitely an altar.
‘Fuck. Is it related to Brahmasen again? I’m fed up with pseudos.’
The party party also started to struggle violently, as if they had the same thoughts as me.
“Mmm, crazy bastards! Were these bastards pseudos?!”
“We are going to sacrifice ourselves!”
“Sah, save me! Help me!!”
No matter how much they struggled, they did not escape the restraints.
Bertara The guys who introduced themselves didn’t lay a hand on the party, unlike before. I didn’t even yell. I just stood there and was silent. In that attitude, solemnity and a sense of alienation were felt at the same time. The party party seemed to have sensed it as well.
A heavy, suffocating silence fell.
Its sillent. It was so quiet that I wondered if the pressure had increased.
“Mr Kanex. I have brought you an offering.”
My eyesight fluctuates.
At first I thought I was wrong. But no. Space was shaking, not my sight. The space continued to shake and cracks formed on the altar.
A head emerges from the crack. Its head, over 3m in size, was similar to that of a human. The skin is red and decayed, and sharp teeth are half-shattered between the torn lips. The skin peeled off on the cheekbones, revealing bone, the left eye was sunken, and the right pupil was golden. He has an inverted triangle tattooed on his forehead. The scalp was peeled off and the skull partially shattered, revealing the pink brain.
In terms of appearance alone, he never seemed to be a good being.
“It’s an unexpected offering.”
Kanex opened his mouth. Despite being headless, the voice resounded inside the temple.
“These are the guys who came to me. Our country’s proverb says that the pumpkin came rolling in whole on the vine.”
Bertha’s captain, the bearded man, stepped forward and said. I can feel that you are being as careful as possible not to commit rudeness.
“I am not interested in the proverbs of your country.”
“Are you not interested in offerings?”
“It is not. Offerings are always welcome.”
Kanex laughs eerily. Ten pink tentacles protruded from his brain between the shattered skulls. Its appearance, as if the brain folds had been turned into tentacles, was quite repulsive. The tentacle moved in an instant and snatched the party. It was so fast that even I couldn’t react if I didn’t concentrate.
“Aaaaagh!”
“Save me, please!”
Berta was silent whether she screamed or not.
Kanex chewed and swallowed the party members he had grabbed with his tentacles one by one. In his big mouth, humans disappear as mere pieces of meat. There was only a head, but what was swallowed evaporated instead of flowing down to the floor.
“Oh oh…. It’s much more satisfying than the usual offerings. I wanted an offering like this.”
Badly.
Satisfied, he chewed on the human.
“I am glad you are satisfied.”
“Keep offering these people in the future. I will definitely take care of the cost of the sacrifice. Don’t you want that too?”
“I’m sorry, but today’s offerings are special. If I hadn’t been lucky, I wouldn’t have been able to offer it to Lord Kanex.”
“Hmm. Okay.”
Badly.
Kanex devoured the entire party. Even so, he rolls his eyes as if he is not satisfied. Greed sets in the eyes of the bearded man and then disappears.
“Today’s offering was quite satisfactory. I’ll give you one more.”
Wow!
Kanex spit something out.
Two red walnuts. No, it would be correct to say that it looks like a small brain. The bearded man bent down to pick up a small brain.
“Thank you. Mr. Kanex.”
“As you can see, they are thicker than the usual strengthening agents. The effect is better. If you want to know these things… Offer good quality offerings. Got it?”
“I will contact you above and tell you what Kanex said. Unfortunately, I don’t have a choice.”
“Don’t expect it.”
The bearded man with the fortifying agent looked at Kanex.
“How are you?”
“It is better than when I first saw it. But at this rate, even if it takes several decades, I won’t be able to restore my original power. We need more sacrifices.”
“We are doing our best.”
“I guess so. Don’t tell me one I give a fair reward to those who follow me. If I get my strength back… I will give you a reward that is incomparable to reinforcements.”
“… I will also pass on that message above.”
The bearded man bowed politely and was about to turn away.
“Is it over?”
“This is everything. The next offering comes in tomorrow. I’ll see you again then.”
“It was not the sacrifice that was behind you, but your comrades. It looked pretty tasty… Too bad.”
“Yes?”
Kanex glances at me.
‘Fuck. Was that Kanex or something doing that monster noticed from the beginning?’
Bearded man looks back. He was using an illusionist so the bearded man didn’t recognize me right away. Then he uses mana. A wave of mana swept through once. The black beard’s face contorted in an instant.
“What are you doing?!”
Cheeky!
The Bearded Man and his allies raised their weapons in unison. Hostility pours down on me. They also sensed me by amplifying their senses using mana. The illusionist has become meaningless. To save battery, I turned off the illuminator.
My face is revealed I’m wearing a bast face, so there’s no chance of recognizing me.
“Who are you? I know I’m not with the guys from before. Reveal your identity.”
“That is what I want to say. What are you guys who sacrifice human beings to monsters and get brain fragments for? From what I’ve heard, it seems to be the subcontractor… Who is your master?”
Before the bearded man could open his mouth, Kanex let out a presence.
“Dare… Did you call me a monster or something?”
“If you’re in a dungeon, it’s a monster. And look at you now If not a monster, what is it?”
“I am a God. Even if I was defeated and fell into this state, there is no reason for me to be insulted by humans. The sin of blasphemy is never light…. You will die a painful death.”
“God? Is he like Brahmasen?”
“Brahmasen! This guy! What is your relationship with Brahmasen!”
Kanex shouted. As soon ashehears Brahma Sen’s name, he distorts his face to express his anger. In the aftermath, the air shudders. He was never something to be taken lightly.
One of them raised a bow and fired an arrow. Shoot too openly This is to draw attention.
‘Also….’
There was a guy who approached stealthily and quickly. Lowers his stance and lunges like a snake.
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 5]
Dodging the arrows and using the moment. Hwaryeonbi, whose identity can be identified, instead takes out a normal-looking sword and swings it at the approaching guy. The guy changed direction. I cut off the black guy’s right arm. Too bad. I could have split his head in half if his reaction was just a little too late.
3 knives come flying. It was a woman named Do Hae-young. She is a woman with short hair. If you look closely, it’s pretty. Her expression was hard like that of a soldier.
Ting! Ting Ting!
He moved his sword sideways and bounced off three knives. The bounced knife spun in the air before stopping. The blade rushes toward me.
‘Telekinesis.’
The moment she tried to hit the knife with her sword again, her body stopped moving. An invisible force grips my body tightly. I must say it feels like being in the ground.
‘This is telekinesis, too.’
You don’t have to use the spirit of heaven. Increases mana output and explodes instantly. The telekinesis that had been oppressing the body disappears.
