Chapter 502
151. Magician’s Treasure
Kung… Kung…
“This sound is…”
“You should hurry, Gagao-sama. There won’t be much time to capture the saint.”
At the words of his subordinate, Gagao nodded.
The roar coming from afar must have been caused by that monstrous man that cannot be explained by common sense.
Even the slightest mishandling could have resulted in burial.
“As expected, a kid who is obsessed with power is a kid.”
Gagao clicked his tongue and moved quickly.
It’s strong, but it’s like being swung around by a child.
A lot of laughter comes out.
Suddenly, Gagao frowned at the grotesque sound coming from afar.
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know. I think part of the dungeon collapsed as the saint went on a rampage.”
“There’s no time. The breakthrough situation is going well, so join us quickly…” ”
Didn’t you learn that if you go into someone’s house carelessly, you’ll get in trouble? I’ll start with the Jordan River Express.”
A voice interrupted Gagao and echoed throughout the cave.
Those who did not know who the voice belonged to quickly searched the surroundings with bluish faces.
Geuggeuggeuk!!
However, the protagonist of the voice was nowhere to be seen, and instead, the passage, which had been like a natural cave a while ago, began to twist and narrow.
“How can this be!”
“How the hell did this happen?!”
“Gagao-sama!!”
Then, someone pushed Gagao in a hurry, and Gagao, who was pushed away, widened his eyes when he saw the man who had pushed him completely crushed by a giant iron ball.
The man who died instantly without even screaming and the iron ball that crushed him.
It can’t be like this. Surely he hadn’t disarmed all the traps that were here before? The trap of narrowing the wall was definitely solved. But what the hell is this in front of my eyes?
Besides, isn’t that iron ball a trap I’ve never seen before?
The iron ball stopped, as if it were alive, and slowly started moving again toward Gagao.
They are clearly pursuing with intention.
[Dark Spear!]
Enraged at the sight of him teasing him, Gagao took out the mana stone from his chest with rough hand movements and raised it high.
Then, he drew out the mana stored in the mana stone, chanted Dark Spear magic, and fired it at the iron ball.
It was a different speed than most wizards.
Although his skill is a 5th circle wizard, it was hard to see him as a wizard of the same level as his magic casting speed.
It was then.
The surface of the iron ball suddenly swayed and opened like an open mouth, swallowing the Dark Spear as it was.
And then…
Fuck!
As if teasing, it started rolling again.
The moment he came, I felt as if something was disconnected in my head, but I couldn’t attack.
It was an instinctive sense of danger.
And as if mocking his thoughts, the huge iron ball twisted like a liquid and soon began to change.
The iron ball completely changed and soon changed into a man’s figure.
Hearing
the sound of something being cut off, the man, who had been silently watching Gagao and others, slowly stretched out his hand.
Pooh!!!
At the same time, his hands turned into sharp, long tentacles and pierced the man straight through.
It was an instant.
Gagao, who couldn’t easily accept the fact that two people were killed in an instant, was about to launch a counterattack.
The rest of the people around him hurriedly led him and started running.
“It’s dangerous! Run!!”
“Leave this!!”
He threw away his johndae and inevitably gnashed his teeth and shouted, but he, who had changed from an iron ball to a silvery male figure, just nodded his head as if he was teasing him.
“He! Isn’t he playing with us right now!”
“Have you forgotten where this place is?! It’s the joint of the Salsu King! It’s a place that hasn’t been attacked in a single place so far! The chances of winning in a head-on fight are extremely low!”
“shit!!”
Hell for them was only the beginning.
* * *
Hermeisha’s treasure house is equipped with all kinds of means to fend off intruders.
The reason why the items that went into her treasure house on the continent did not reappear.
It was partly that her treasure trove was unknown, but also partly because, in fact, everyone who found out about it, even by accident, died.
The ceiling collapses terribly when driven into a huge cavity.
Setting up and dropping traps with thorns on the way to run away in a hurry.
The level of difficulty and boundary is so dense and difficult that it is hard to find a place like this place.
It has to be.
“Is there another way out of here?”
The greed for treasure disappeared again, and now the guys left this place and started moving to achieve their original purpose.
Thinking deeply about this, I picked up three triangular ornaments with the same shape among the pile of treasures.
“that?”
Lucia Shellman asked with an uneasy face at the seemingly precious object.
“key.”
Only one of the three is a key, and the rest are bombs.
No one would be able to follow the vigilance that set the trap until the end.
I silently looked at the triangular ornaments and immediately picked up one.
Then he headed to the wall and pushed the huge bookshelf with one hand.
Behind it was a hole with the same shape as the triangular ornament.
“How else did you know that?”
“I don’t know. Now I’d believe Davy was actually an alien in human clothing.”
Shairrenda muttered as if she had nothing to say, and I mischievously put my finger on her throat and altered her voice.
“How did you know? We are astronauts.”
“Puha!”
When Fendir, who was relieved by the joke, laughed,
“You guys get out through this place. It should be connected to the outside.”
“Get out? There are still warlocks…”
“I’m going to chase them. But they’re not all of them here. Give it to me. It will probably be easy to find the whereabouts of the strangers.”
At my words, Fildir nodded.
“Okay. Let’s divide the labor. Okay. I’ll take care of it.”
The guy who got up from his seat turned his back and went out into the aisle I had opened without any hesitation, as if he couldn’t get attached to anything other than the things I handed him.
“Lucia! Let’s go!”
“I’m going!”
Embarrassed Lucia followed him, and Shire and Fendir slowly approached me.
“Watch out Davy.”
“just in case.”
The words they were trying to say like twin sisters with identical faces seemed similar.
“Why aren’t you going?”
“If we are going to divide the labor, we have to distribute the number of people appropriately.
Illina asked with tears in her eyes, and I averted my gaze without hesitation.
“Tsk.”
Then, when she clicked her tongue, she smiled.
“how is it?”
“Well. It doesn’t matter. I have something to give you.”
“A gift? A gift? A gift? A gift?!”
“Quiet.”
“Ehehe. It’s embarrassing!”
It was she who smiled and slapped me on the shoulder a couple of times before following me.
It is a passage leading to a huge maze, but it is composed of a fairly elaborate structure.
It was said that if you use a few secret passages well, you can move anywhere quickly and safely.
Originally, only Hermeisha, the owner of the warehouse, knew the location and purpose of this passageway, but I, who received knowledge about the warehouse from her and officially inherited the inheritance, also knew.
“Cuck!”
When I opened the huge door and entered, I saw a man in pain rolling on the floor with his white robe dirty.
He was also a man who fell out of the narrowing wall trap.
“This guy…”
“The one who has fallen out.”
“Hey man! Save me!”
He begged me, holding a plaque symbolizing the church in his arms.
“Ha, I fell into a trap! Help…”
“It’s so black for a priest.”
It’s not that black magicians are bad. Because the source of black magic was created for human development.
But people are often mistaken. It’s not that the one who wields the sword is bad, it’s that the sword that is being swung is bad.
Because of that, it is almost impossible to find a person who collects ghost mana on this continent.
In fact, their existence was so secret that there were people who encountered the existence of black magic almost as a fairy tale.
Not being easily fooled, he immediately frowned.
“Sounds funny! I’m a priest!”
“There is an old saying like that.”
“What what?!”
Casts thick and solid defensive divine magic on him who shouts intensely.
Then Ilina, who had been blank, and the warlock who had been shouting at me all made absurd expressions.
I thought he would kill me, but suddenly he used shield magic.
They looked like they didn’t know what I was doing. In such a situation, the man laughed at me as if he thought I had mistakenly manifested my magic due to the aftermath of the cave.
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but the magic seems to have failed?”
“No. What is failure?”
Fuck!
As you snap your fingers along with those words, water begins to seep into the round and transparent protective film.
“You fucking bastard!”
I spoke plaintively to him, who only then began to reveal his true colors.
“May I ask what you did to get in here without running away?”
“Two! Do you think you’re going to talk?! Dog of the dirty church!”
I shook my head at his outburst.
“Um, yes. I didn’t think it would be easy to say.”
“Even if I die, I will never say anything! You won’t get a single bit of information!”
At his confident cry, I kindled the interrogation fire and stopped it.
I just thought of a new torture method.
“There’s an old saying like that. It turns into blood and bones, so write it down.”
I muttered briefly and smiled eeriely.
“Water knows the answer.”
“Uh huh?!”
Instinctively senses a crisis and knocks on the shield, but the upper level protection magic is unlikely to be broken by simple human strength.
As the water begins to rise slowly and rapidly, his face begins to turn blue.
“Does it make you feel comfortable talking?”
“Do you think I’ll tell you?!”
“Okay? Then we can ask your superiors.”
At my words, there was rage on his face.
“You bastard!!! If you lift even one finger at Gagao-sama, I will crush your head even if I die!!”
I felt satisfied with the bitter loyalty of anger.
Yes, it is quite loyal.
“You just have to tell the truth. By the way, I’ll ask you, catch him too, and torture him even more.”
Illina watches silently to see if she is interested in my method.
“It’s easy to give up. You’re supposed to tell the truth anyway.”
“I’ll never tell the truth.”
Now that only his face remains, I nod my head while looking at his determined eyes.
“Good. tell a lie just be aware If the truth you confessed here differs from the truth he confessed, I will render him undead and torment him forever.”
At my words, his body trembled.
At the same time, the water completely filled up and he struggled desperately
. Seeing him doing this, I lightly kicked one side of the shield, and a hole was opened in the shield, and water poured out. When the water came down
to the neck, I restored the shield and continued my conversation.
“They both answered the same . If so, I will give you mercy. It’s okay to wear the name of a saint. Goddess Freea is the goddess of loving-kindness, isn’t it?”
He looked at me with a fearful face, who had a face of pain.
“Time is on my side. you can’t run away At this point you should be able to figure out why the deactivated trap was reactivated.
” Oooh!!”
The water fills up again and he struggles in agony. After
draining his soul for a while, I drained the water again and hammered in the nail again.
“Isn’t it fun? He says he’ll tell the truth, but he’ll suffer forever because of your lies.”
“What?!”
“You’re free to say anything. Let’s do it.”
“This… devil!”
“The devil? Isn’t that what you guys who killed the children were saying?”
* * *
“Ugh!! Please… please tell me!!”
“What? won’t you tell me? i get it. I’ll admit your guts.”
“Uh… uuuuuu!!! Uuuuuuuu!!!”
Water torture makes people go crazy the longer it lasts. As
I silently watched him struggle as he struggled all over, I put one hand to my ear from the piercing waves.
[Meramont mission accomplished . .]
It was a short report, but that was enough. It was the sound of annihilating everyone except this man in front of me.
Congratulations. Now you can’t die even if you want to die for the information I need.
“You can say it? As long as your statement matches the statement of the child you serve, whether it is Kakao or Gagao, I will show mercy to him.
” Uuuuuu!!!”
Seeing him desperately knocking on the wall of the shield, I drained some cold water from the inside of the shield again.
“Keuuk!! Heo-eok… heo-eok… please… please!”
“You don’t want to talk?
” What a hell! In the organization, the summoning ceremony through the ghost house… Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
alternated’’’ I ignored his hurried words and filled the water again and hummed
. Hang on to the end if you can.”
“Davy. I’m talking about it, but there’s no need to torture it…”
“I’m not a good man, Illina.”
She stiffened at my words.
“Blood for blood. The knights here are faceless people, but they had children.”
At my words, Illina remained silent and nodded.
“Don’t think I’ll kill those bastards gracefully.”
The warlock who heard me said Despair is on his face.
“Anyway, even if you don’t say anything, it’s only a matter of time to bring out the information. Melbeck lasted quite a while too, but there is nothing you can’t do by squeezing your soul.”
I smiled as I drained the water again while speaking calmly.
“Ha ha… ha…”
“What? won’t you tell me? How great is your loyalty?”
I spoke in an exaggerated tone, and he screamed in anger.
“You devil!! Even the demon lord will give
me a hand in front of you!!” I nodded and
shook my
head at his evil attitude.
He’s the Demon King, how can he be compared?”
His face grew even darker in despair.
