To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 476
Episode 476 The Devil’s Nest, its Underground (2)
The Holy Kingdom’s troops and Celia’s forces arrived at the Devil’s Nest almost at the same time.
When they went down to the Devil’s Land, they decided to exchange half of each other’s forces to go down, but the reason was to share more information.
After all, these are the kingdoms that are the starting point of the Devil’s Landing.
I believed that there must be information that only they have, not information that everyone knows.
Upon reaching the entrance of the Demonic World, a building resembling a huge mountain range stood with its mouth wide open.
Something was written in unknown characters, but no one could read it.
“This is the Devil’s Land….”
When the Knight Commander admired the endless Demonic Scenery, the High Priestess gave notice.
“It is not the time to admire. Manjangjang, please check the number of people. Finally, after maintenance, we enter the Demonic Realm.”
At his command, the thousand chiefs checked the thousand chiefs, and the thousand chiefs checked the hundred chiefs.
When the number of people matched, the chief of staff reported to the high priest.
“They all gathered. The materials are also safe, so the preparations to enter the Demon Realm are over, High Priestess.”
“Hmm… It may be my old age, but I’m worried.”
“Don’t worry too much. Who is threatening you in front of an armed force of 20,000 men?”
When the chief of staff spoke, the High Priestess felt a little relieved of her worries.
“I’m sorry. Then let’s head towards the Demonic Realm in earnest.”
“yes.”
dozens of wagons.
An army of twenty thousand.
Seongguk and Lesian Celia’s troops entered the dungeon, dreaming of breaking through the Devil’s Realm.

Enemy – Enemy –
Ray put the grass growing in the dungeon hallway into his mouth and chewed it.
I’ve already confirmed that it’s edible grass, but the taste isn’t quite like that.
It was hard to bear the sticky grass juice that moistened my mouth with every bite.
“I’d rather have monster meat than chew on something like this.”
On the 4th basement floor, quite beast-like monsters often appeared.
I had tried baking slime before, but it wasn’t easy because slime with broken cores is a simple liquid.
Moreover, the curious thing was that the goblins that were on the 2nd floor were also present on the 4th floor.
He is clever and cunning enough to be compared to the goblins on the second floor.
It doesn’t seem to have evolved in particular in terms of physicality, but it wasn’t difficult to deal with as intelligence increased.
“Keew!”
Just in time, the monster’s cry rang through the hallway.
Perhaps that was a trap set by the goblins.
The monsters on the 4th floor were also quite strong, so the traps would be enough to tie their ankles at most, but if the goblins aim for that moment and rush at it, it’s a different story.
If more than a dozen goblins rush into a monster they can’t resist and hack it to pieces, even if it’s a 4th floor monster, most of them will have no choice but to die.
Goblins aren’t particularly weak monsters here.
Ray stopped eating and rose from his seat to guard them.
As he secretly hid in a corner of the dungeon corridor and spyed on the goblins, as he thought, they were suddenly lowering their weapons at the monsters caught in the trap.
“Keeeh!”
“Kigigiggeek!”
With incomprehensible elation (?), the neck and head were hit in succession, so the monster could not stand it any longer and died.
What cannot be called cowardly is the way goblins live.
If you don’t do that, the goblins will be eaten by other monsters.
In any case, it didn’t look like it would pose a threat to himself, so Ray headed back to the crudely built shelter.
The fact that there was a shelter not far from the goblin den was a little off, but it was surprisingly safer here because you could avoid attacks from other monsters.
Lying on one side, he yawned.
“Haam. I am strangely sleepy today.”
Could there be sleeping pills in the grass you just ate?
My mind feels like it’s kind of hazy.
As I managed to hold back my eyes, which were about to close, I saw several goblins appearing from the corner of the hallway.
When the goblins with weapons aimed at him and headed in a straight line, Ray immediately stood up.
My body feels heavier than usual because I’m still sleepy.
I bit my lip slightly to wake up.
‘I was too careless.’
It happened because I believed in the traps laid around me and acted complacently.
I didn’t think that the goblins had already figured out all the traps they had set.
But why?
Today’s hunt for the goblins must have ended.
Normally, there would be no re-hunting immediately after hunting.
He didn’t even try to protect the area around him, so he was just curious about the current situation where he was being attacked.
The goblin put down its weapon and approached step by step.
“Kiyiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyically!”
It’s natural to say something, but I can’t understand it.
In the meantime, my mind grew more hazy.
Ray noticed then.
The goblins were blowing smoke from outside.
It was like white steam, so I couldn’t tell it apart, but it must be because of that smoke.
“I will kill you if you come close.”
As he threatened with a dagger, the approaching goblin hesitated.
Taking advantage of that moment, he ran away with all his might.
Unlike when he was on the 2nd basement floor, he has now killed many monsters and absorbed mana.
Although he couldn’t handle mana like before, he could feel his body changing differently than before.
As soon as he lightly kicked the ground, his new weapon shot like an arrow.
There was no way the goblins could catch up.
However, it seems that they expected it that far.
A group of goblins blocked Ray from the front as he fled.
“Kieek! Kiyi!”
say something again
Several of the goblins in front laid their weapons on the ground.
It was as if he was trying to announce that he had no intention of fighting.
But then why was he blowing sleep smoke!
‘I’d better avoid this place anyway.’
I got into trouble for no reason, but I can’t see anything good.
How much he suffered from the goblins from the second basement level!
Didn’t I actually almost die!
It wasn’t there from the beginning, but now the trust in the goblins has hit rock bottom.
When Ray turns around again and tries to run away.
A very beautiful voice came from behind.
That voice was the human voice he wanted to hear after being locked up in a dungeon for about two months.
“Monster, don’t run away.”
monster?
I turned my head in the direction of the sound and saw a woman slightly taller than the goblin and with light brown skin.
Unlike other goblins that only cover important parts, he was wearing something like clothes, but rather than barbaric, he was somehow antique.
I don’t know the culture of goblins, but maybe that’s something like a suit.
The woman looked at Ray and continued.
“I just had something to say. I didn’t want to be harmed in the process, so I tried to put you to sleep.”
Talking is a bit annoying.
The pronunciation was also a bit similar to that of the goblin, but at first glance, it was a human being.
However, I couldn’t get rid of the idea that I was a goblin when I saw the crooked ears unlike the elves.
Ray asked.
“What to say?”
“Yes. It’s not something to talk about here. I want you to quietly follow me.”
You mean follow me to the goblin lair?
I can’t do that.
There is no escape from the lair.
Even if you’re lucky enough to escape, you’ll be on the verge of death, and most of the time you’ll end up with a meal for the goblins.
Perhaps reading his thoughts, the goblin woman nodded.
“Monster, do whatever you like.”
Listening to what they say, it seems that humans are treated as monsters by the goblins.
It’s not unreasonable to think so.
“If you want to talk, get rid of all the goblins around me.”
The woman shook her head slowly.
“You can’t do that. We goblins are a weak race by nature. Breeding developed accordingly. Just as you have power superior to ours, all of these compatriots are the strength of our goblins.”
At her words, Ray asked without clearing his guard.
“…what do you mean?”
Then the female goblin got lucky.
“The resources here are not infinite. Even though grass grows again and monsters are born, it means that the regenerative power is not enough to cover all the increasing monsters.”
oh my god.
To think that the goblin was thinking that far.
“So we were thinking of moving our base. I am the goblin queen. All of them are my people, so it is only natural that they want to save their home without major damage.”
After talking that far, Ray noticed right away.
“You mean you want to go down to the 5th floor?”
“Contrary to its appearance, it is a fairly smart monster. It’s not for nothing that people say that ugly individuals are smart.”
that you are ugly
Rey, who had become an outcast in the goblin world in an instant, frowned.
“If you want to find a new place, you can go up to the 3rd floor, so why do you want to go down to the 5th floor?”
“The creatures that live here survive only when they develop. For him, a strong creature must be killed. Wouldn’t it be better to go down than go up?”
At her words, Ray was a little stumped.
I thought it had quite a bit of intelligence, but I never thought I would have known that it became stronger by killing other creatures.
“We have been here since we were born. but you are different To think that the monster above this would come down below. It was something I never could have imagined.”
“so?”
“Tell me back, what are you going to do? we need your strength That wisdom that came downstairs. Lend it to us too.”
“What benefit do I get if I help you?”
“Don’t you hate staying on the 4th floor too? As long as our mutual interests coincide, it becomes a cooperation, not a request.”
To put it simply, it means to join forces on the 5th floor and go down together.
But what she said was absolutely right.
If you want to trade, there is nothing you can’t do, but you have to reach the 5th floor anyway.
It would have been nice to have an ally, but it wasn’t bad.
But before that, I wanted to clear my doubts.
Like the giant goblin I met on the 2nd floor, and the goblin woman I was talking to right in front of me.
Why do only a few individuals have special characteristics?
Could it be a mutation?
Rey said as she tucked the dagger into her belt.
“I like holding hands. But before that, there is one thing I want you to answer.”
“If you can answer something, I will try to answer it.”
“Why do you look different from the other goblins and can even talk?”
At Ray’s words, the female goblin said as if it was nothing special.
“You killed your compatriots and changed.”
