To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 513
Episode 513 Reunion with Soonbok (10)
Staggering to his feet, Ray brushed the soil off his trouser hem.
“I called you to ask about the dungeon. Don’t you know anything?”
Judging from the straightforward talk, it seems that the solution is already in place.
Soonbok looked at him as if he was a little surprised.
– Before that, I want to ask you something.
“What?”
– Dungeons have a characteristic of sucking mana from the surroundings. In the aftermath, even the mana outside must have disappeared.
Ray nodded his head at Sunbok’s words.
I roughly expected it to be like that.
In order to draw this much mana, the mana in the body of an individual would be insufficient.
As soon as he listened quietly, Soonbok was silent for a moment, then continued.
– …How did you summon me? Now that I have reached the highest level, it must have been difficult with normal mana.
“I almost recovered my mana in the dungeon. I was lucky.”
He said it as if it was nothing, but to Soonbok, it was absolutely crazy.
You almost recovered your mana outside?
Could it be that he recovered the monster-like mana of the time just by hunting in dungeons?
‘Such a crazy bastard.’
Unknowingly, a swear word came out from within.
Soonbok, quite embarrassed, let out a drool.
– Kkeuh….
It’s infinitely close to impossible.
When I thought about it again, it seemed that this guy could somehow do it.
Soonbok, who was barely trying to calm himself down, had to breathe again at Ray’s words.
“Actually, I recently found the deepest part of the dungeon. But there is a little problem.”
– The deepest part…?
Because he is a spirit, he can freely go to and from other middle-earths, and he roughly knows what a ‘dungeon’ is.
And I’ve heard countless stories about him.
There was even a time when a dungeon was created for the first time in other middle-earths, and a being called the guardian of middle-earth entered it and was killed.
As such, dungeons are dangerous places.
Even if you are lucky with the human body, there must be a limit…
how lucky you are to reach the deepest part.
– If it’s a problem…
“Mien, who I thought was dead, became the nucleus of the dungeon.”
He brought up a shocking story, but Soonbok, who heard the story, was calm.
– That’s right.
“huh?”
Then, it was Ray who was taken aback.
He was quite shocked to learn that Mien was the nucleus of the dungeon.
I thought a lot about what to do and thought about trying to be a bit vicious, but I couldn’t come to any conclusion.
However, when he said that it was natural for him to obey, a vague sense of desolation came over him for a moment.
When the story seemed to be getting long, Soonbok sat down.
– A dungeon is simply a ‘process’.
“procedure?”
– yes. And the saints and saints that humans commonly refer to are the sacrifices of this ‘process’.
Subok continued.
– I don’t know the details, but I’m a spirit, but one thing is certain: someone wants to grow in dimension.
What is dimensional growth?
As Ray’s expression became more and more subtle, Soonbok explained further.
– Even if it’s growth, it’s not that grandiose. It is to increase the original strength instead of mana. With that, the creatures will not cling to mana, and there will be a common enemy called ‘dungeon’, so quarrels will subside.
“You mean you don’t want to fight?”
– I can’t fully agree. I don’t know who is aiming for what, but growing unprepared will only poison the creature.
“Then, the sacrificial offering of the process I mentioned earlier is…”
– Whether it was made by someone or chosen by God, Mien is a saint.
“…”
An artificial saint.
And even the dungeons born of it.
The whole thing tended to fit too well to be said to have been made by mere chance.
Sunbok stretched out and said.
– In order to get rid of the dungeon, there is no choice but to remove the existence that becomes the nucleus. In the current situation, the only option would be to kill Mien.
“Umm….”
In the end, do you mean you have no choice but to sacrifice a cow for the sake of the generation?
It’s something I don’t like.
What’s more, Mien had lost her previous memories, so there was nothing left to call her a saint.
just a simple kid.
I was confused thinking that I couldn’t get out of this damn dungeon unless I killed someone like that.
Soonbok tilted his head as if he didn’t know.
– What are you so worried about? If we don’t kill Mien, more people will die trapped here.
Know.
It was unknown whether people were still entering this dungeon.
If left alone, dozens, hundreds, and thousands of times more people would surely die.
But even though I knew it in my head, I couldn’t act easily.
At least.
At the very least, if you absorb it with drain magic, wouldn’t it be possible to make it disappear before you even feel the pain?
After thinking about it for a while, Soonbok could not stand it and stood up.
– It’s not like your brother.
“That’s because you don’t know. Seeing it in person will change your mind.”
– My opinion does not change. If you don’t kill Meen, this dungeon won’t disappear. Outside, the chaos will be long and the war will break out.
“Well, that’s because I know.”
As I was contemplating on the subject of only one action to be taken, a frustrated Soonbok tapped my heart.
– Where then, please guide me. I would like to see the girl’s face in person.
Ray sighed and got up from his seat.
* * *
Soonbok, who had been talking loudly just a moment ago, shut his mouth at once.
– This is…
small hands and feet and tight lips.
The big eyes and soft hair definitely resemble Mien.
But…
“Would you like some more tea?”
A smile came into Soonbok’s eyes.
small.
small is too small
No matter how much women say they change while you can’t see them, shouldn’t there be a degree!
Ray approached Soonbok, who was speechless.
“What do you think?”
– How are you sleeping….
It’s small.
just small
It was so small that nothing came out.
Now I could understand why he was worried.
Soonbok, who was looking at Mien with a complicated face, sat silently and drank black tea.
As if she just liked her new friend, Mien clung to Soonbok and poked her around.
Soonbok, still unable to adjust to the current situation, looked out the window while drooling.
– What are those?
I felt a strange gaze from before.
Ray turned his gaze to the window sill.
There, the ‘black people’ were watching them closely.
Still, the face was not visible, and only the black shape shimmered like a shadow, but the appearance of Soon-bok seemed to have strengthened the vigilance, so he did not stop observing.
“Mien is called the Black Man.”
– The black one? As for the naming sense… it’s amazing.
Let’s ask a child for a name.
Soonbok said as if he was a little concerned.
– The movement is strange from before. I don’t think it’ll be strange if they come in anytime, but…
“Don’t worry, it’s not aggressive even if you look like that. Well, sometimes I try to get Mien out of the study.”
– But…
Soonbok looked closely at the black people.
As Ray said, it didn’t seem aggressive, but I couldn’t help but be concerned.
furthermore.
“Ahahaha! Once more! Once more!”
As Mien smiled brightly, Ray manifested his magic.
“Air hand!”
A hand made of wind floated Mien in the air.
It was like flying in the sky, so Mian couldn’t be happier.
Soonbok looked at him and shook his head.
– You’ve become a complete father.
It was understandable that the worry was prolonged.
No matter what, he and Mien had a lot of affection.
The more he did, the deeper the agony of submission.
Unless the dungeon’s core is destroyed, the dungeon will never disappear.
The longer you spend together, the harder it gets for Ray.
Soonbok looked at the two happy faces with a dark face.
‘In the end, I have to kill it with the hand I grabbed.’

The information guild members who had infiltrated the Holy Kingdom could not find any information to speak of.
Even within the Holy Kingdom, except for a few people, it was a top secret.
No matter how much the flying information guild tried to find out, it was close to impossible from the beginning.
After spending three days in the VIP room, the branch manager had no choice but to turn around.
When the branch manager returned empty-handed, Harpman stroked his beard.
“Ugh. I mean.”
“sorry.”
“Okay. Because it’s something I wasn’t really expecting. But I’m a little suspicious. Seongguk is so committed to maintaining secrecy.”
It’s not your usual lazy look.
Hafman, who smelled the money, was quite agile.
he said to the branch manager.
“Just in case you don’t know, gradually reduce the amount of magic crystals supplied to the Holy Kingdom. And stock up on a little more in the warehouse. The time will come when the price will be called.”
“All right.”
As the branch manager bowed his head and stepped back, only Harp, who was left alone in the office, tapped the desk.
“Strange. No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t pay off.”
No matter how much the price of magic crystals went down, buying that amount of magic crystals would not be without damage, even if it was a holy country.
In addition, since they sold the merchants they owned, it is safe to say that Seongguk is on the road to ruin.
But why are they putting more effort into purchasing magic stones?
Now that funds are running out and demonic religions are running wild here and there.
Even if you prepare for the holy war, why is it not enough?
The question alarmed Hafman.
I thought that I shouldn’t sell the magic stones as they are in the holy kingdom anymore.
Seongguk is not a place where only idiots live.
In this worst-case scenario, you’re putting your money in the wrong place, so a bit of caution wouldn’t hurt.
Halfman looked at Ray’s statue.
“At a time like this, what would Taesangdan Lord do?”
He is just imitating Taesangdanju and acting.
The ability of the body was not up to him, so whenever something happened, he borrowed his thoughts.
With that alone, the upper half of Hafman climbed on top of the rock and became the top of the continent.
It was like that even now.
Today, his vacancy only felt bigger.
