Damned 13th Regression – 10



Episode 10 – Shadow of ‘X’

The final dungeon Babel invaded and absorbed the dimensions.

The dimensions absorbed by Babel were disintegrated into pieces increasing the number of floors of Babel or becoming Babel’s dungeons.

Pezelon was also the name of the dimension that was defeated by Babel 400 years ago.

‘How long have you been here?’

Latus King the boss of the sewer dungeon.

‘Sha=Mondi’ the prototype of which was confined to the sewer dungeon remembered for the first time in a long time that it was an idea.

Dungeon Babel came one day and spread destruction on the Pezelon continent.

In response all races of Pezelon resisted destruction.

All the strong including humans elves dwarves orcs trolls and others climbed to Dungeon Babel.

Included in it was ‘Sha=Mondi’ the king of the Great Sewer and the lord of all rat men.

‘But I lost.’

The last time was on the 68th floor when the 14th warrior of Pezelon knelt before the Four Heavenly Kings.

Every hero who climbed the barbell faced death.

The dimension was torn apart and absorbed into Babel. The number of floors in Babel was increased from 74 to 78 and the heroes and gods of Pezelon became part of Babel’s dungeon becoming the mother or prototype of the dungeon boss.

Pukkuk

A heavy battle hammer was pierced into the head of the Ratus King.

After stumbling a few times with his caved head Rattus King dropped his weapon and collapsed.

‘Are the challengers winning this time?’

Sha=Mondi watched several fights in the mind of dungeons and boss mobs. Whether the challenger or the boss mob won nothing changed for him.

However Babel’s restraints will be released for a while until Rattus King begins regeneration work.

Sha=Mondi saw the hunters who killed the Rattus King. It was an amazing feat with just two people. A male hunter with a sharp look and a female hunter with black hair who uses auxiliary magic.

‘Your skills are quite good but can you break the barbell?’

Shah=Mondi looked at them with mocking eyes. At that time the strange red avatar behind the male hunter brightened its strange eyes and made a gloomy mechanical sound.

[Master. The basic ability ‘Mind’s Eye’ now works. A+ class avatar ‘King of the Great Sewerage.’ ‘Sha=Mondi’ was captured]

The eyes of Shah=Mondi and the male hunter met.

“What are you doing in this smelly gutter?”

‘Are you sure you can see me?’

Someone sees you and talks to you.

This happened 443 years after Pezelon fell and Shah Mondi settled here.

[You selected ‘Ratus King’s Barbed Iron Blade’ as a reward!]

Gonghyeok glanced at Shah=Mondi while checking the rewards with indifferent eyes.

– That’s right! In fact this Babel absorbs the invaded dimension increases the number of floors and creates a dungeon inside! Also heroes and gods like us become materials for creating dungeon boss monsters.

“Amazing! Sha=Mondi! “I didn’t know there was such a secret hidden there.”

Yeonsi is listening to Shah=Mondi talking excitedly with her eyes shining. It’s a boring fact that Gonghyuk knew a long time ago.

There was a reason why I pretended not to know and asked about his identity.

[Hidden achievement has been discovered.]

[We are a little closer to the secret of Babel in the final dungeon.]

[Achievement of integrating all races and floors. ‘The first person to discover the secrets of the dungeon’ has been achieved.]

[‘White Coin’ is given as a special reward.]

A shining white coin appears before Gonghyeok’s eyes.

“Oppa what is this coin? “It seems different from the coins we know.”

“okay. “The business is done.”

– Hahahaha! As the saying goes. Let’s put the editorial aside soon.

The zebra Sha=Mondi wearing all kinds of gold accessories stretched out his chest in triumph.

– I am Sha=Mondi the king of the Great Sewer! A remnant and hero of a world destroyed by Babel. If you want to see the end of Babel I will be your strength.

“Let’s go Yeonsi.”

“Huh? “What does this person say?”

– Now call my name. Yeonja! I Sha=Mondi are your…

“huh. No need. go away.”

An icy silence fell behind Gonghyeok as he hurriedly walked out of the boss room.

– Now wait a minute. Where are you going my dear? Even after all this I ascended to the 57th floor as a colleague of ‘Slaughter King Odair’… Yeonja? hey. Hey! Hey you bastard! Stop right there! Hey hey!

The farther we got from the boss room the quieter Shah Mondi’s voice became.

“Brother. “When someone speaks it is polite to listen to them until the end.”

“Rats are not people. “It’s New Year’s Day.”

Oh really? He placed the worried Yeonsi next to him and flicked the white coin once.

The GM’s red cape opens and white coins melt into the endless space.

[Execute avatar space expansion. Duration: 3 days. [Progress rate 0.01%]

“What are you going to do now? Are you going to continue hunting or are you going to go to another dungeon?”

“Let’s go to the village first.”

“The village? “I think it might be a little scary there.”

A strange feeling of anxiety appears on Yeonsi’s expression.

Dungeons are more dangerous but since I’m with Gonghyeok I don’t really feel it. Rather the confusion arising from conflicts between people and ranking matches came closer to Hayeonsi.

“It’s time to make some adjustments and sprinkle groundbait.”

“Groundbait?”

“In a little while people will die in droves. “We have to stop it.”

“Oh my brother you can’t believe you said that. “It feels new somehow.”

‘huh. ‘It’s not the brat you think it is.’

It was far from the simple good deeds that Yeonsi had in mind.

For Gonghyeok’s ‘purpose’ too many people should not die in the beginning.

There was something to ‘catch’ through the groundbait called Hayeonsi.

Before I knew it I could see the return point closest to the boss room.

===

A blue return portal opened in front of the village altar where Azazel sat.

Return points installed on each floor of the dungeon opened return portals to the village.

It costs 10 purple coins per person but it is well worth it in that it ensures safety and reduces time consumption.

In front of Gonghyeok and Yeonsi who came to the village through the portal people were seen bowing down and crying towards the altar.

“Angel! please! “Please embrace us!”

“Do not lead us into trials….”

“Bitch! Take responsibility for me! “I have to take responsibility for sending you to this damn place!”

About 7 or 8 people. They were the ones who gave up hunting monsters.

Whether due to psychological or physical factors they were the first to collapse in front of Babel’s struggle for survival and clung to their only hope an angel.

However Azazel actually sat cross-legged and closed his eyes without saying a word.

They tried to approach Azazel but were blocked by an invisible wall that had never existed before. After that their routine was simply to plead for mercy in front of him.

“Oppa this is….”

“Stop worrying about it and go to Azazel.”

“Am I alone?”

“okay. Ranking updates are only possible through Azazel. “Do not write down the name.”

Yeonsi hesitated and approached Azazel avoiding the crowd.

“Hey angel. “Can I record that ranking?”

Azazel half-opened one eye and waved his finger.

There are changes to the rules and ranking table displayed on the village altar.

1st place ‘Moore Jackson’ 1830 points

2nd place ‘???’ 1770 points New Ranker!!!

3rd place ‘Kim Seong-chul’ 1610 points

4th ‘???’ 1540 points

5th place ‘Igor Bashmakov’ 1390 points

When Hayeon-si was embarrassed by her ranking light like stardust was sprinkled on her body.

Although he did not appear GM sent a message inside Gonghyeok.

[It has been confirmed that Hunter Hayeonsi has been given the ‘Ranker’s Blessing’. The effect is estimated to be a 5% increase in all abilities a 10% decrease in recovery time and a 10% increase in status resistance]

The top rankers from 1st to 40th were given ‘Ranker’s Blessing’ and those from 51st to 90th were given ‘Chaser’s Blessing’.

In missions the survival cutoff is from 50th to 41st to 50th so there are no blessings which makes lower-ranked hunters who are weak and receive the pursuer’s blessing think ‘I can catch up.’

In addition the ranker’s blessing is too appetizing for the top rankers to hide their rankings and reveal them at the end.

It was a device that made ranker matches more intense and made it impossible to compete without registering your ranking.

Hiding the ranking beyond this has its own advantages but it is time to cast a ‘shadow’ on all the hunters here.

“GM.”

[Activating Game Master]

“1st floor Babel system access ranking update.”

[Babel 1F bypass access implemented and successful intrusion into route 548. Obtain update permission. correction]

A rumbling sound is heard in the sky and dark clouds form.

Thunderstorms and warning sounds sound loudly and blue letters are engraved in the sky.

Attention!! (Attention) Attention!! (Attention)

FINAL WINNER UPDATE

The eyes of all hunters in the village and field turned to the sky.

“What is that?”

“Wait a second a number appeared next to it? Ranker?”

Tiririririririririririn!

The numbers go up making a loud noise. 500 points 1000 points 2000 points 4000 points 8000 points….

‘How far does that thing go?’

When everyone was in shock the numbers finally stopped.

13210 points ‘X’ – TOP Ranker!!!

Everyone’s mind went blank for a moment. Unbelievable score.

At this moment the presence of the strongest hunter ‘X’ is deeply embedded in the minds of all hunters. In the future hunters will have to keep in mind the existence of the unidentified ‘X’ when making big plans or attempting to control the village.

Even though they simply raised their rankings the shadow of ‘X’ was cast over the actions of all hunters.

While everyone was looking up at the sky and unable to come to their senses only Azazel on the podium glared at Joo Gong-hyeok.

Joo Gong-hyeok spoke quietly.

‘I’ll help you. Azazel.’

‘This game. ‘I will go up to the next floor by saving 100 people not 50.’

For the first time since returning a gentle smile appeared on Gonghyuk’s face.
