Damned 13th Regression – 30



Episode 30 – Savior Julia

“sick. it hurts.”

A white flame burned from the wound on his shoulder.

It was a matter of driving out the evil energy left behind by the beast’s teeth. If he was not wearing the holy flame he would be cursed to death or have his arm cut off.

I climb the ice-clear stairs alone.

There was nothing everywhere empty.

I just see other dimensions shining sparsely like starlight.

As for the game this was a place that the operator had not yet created.

When Babel left to invade other dimensions angels and demons fought countless times.

The dimensions that Babel is currently invading are the human world the beast-human world and the machine-god world.

When these three dimensions are destroyed war will begin again.

The end of the transparent glass staircase.

There was a flower garden big enough for one person to sit on a small glass plate that looked like a sheet of thin ice.

Blue armor covered in moss and a white bone-like stone stuck in the neck.

Gonghyeok’s hand picked up the stone.

[‘Angel Nathaniel’s Tombstone’ has been acquired]

[This item can be a medium for the skill ‘Summon the Holy Spirit’]

[I obtained ‘Rusted and Broken Angel’s Armor (S-)’

– Defense increases depending on the user’s magical power level.

– Resists all unclean energies including the spiritual world chaos world and demon world.

– Strengthens the skills and power of the overall holy attribute system.

– If you repair it there may be hidden functions.

As I organized the armor and tombstone an unknown thought flowed into me.

‘We will be reborn as higher beings! Yes like a dimension god! ‘They just belong to a higher dimension!’

‘You blasphemous bastards! The day will never come when you complete Babel and challenge the Dimension God!’

‘devil? angel? It’s funny that humans from a parallel dimension would put themselves in such a position. Okay it would be easier for us to understand each other that way.

We are demons from this moment on. Those who follow the dimension gods.’

I could see it in Gonghyuk’s eyes. Dozens of barbells. And in the middle…

There was a huge staircase that looked like hundreds of barbells put together.

What if Babel where Gonghyeok is currently climbing is a small place run by the ‘Devil King’?

That huge storied pagoda probably contains a being like a ‘demon god’.

[You feel like you understand a little bit about Babel]

[Achievement ‘Remains of a Fallen Angel’ achieved. Achievement rate 100%]

[One ‘black coin’ will be given to you who have come one step closer to Babel’s secret]

Gonghyuk caught the black coin. He slowly put it in GM’s mouth and tasted it.

[Expand your avatar’s space with black coins. [2/3 remaining avatar space]

“It’s a thought that makes me feel dirty every time I see it.”

Not only this ‘Dungeon Tower Babel’ but there are countless Babels that are invading other dimensions.

And the final ‘real Babel’ exists separately.

This fact gave me a really uneasy feeling. But one thing is certain…

‘Once Babel has been conquered demons do not return.’

I couldn’t tell if it was a promise made to the angels or a dimensional restriction.

As long as Babel was conquered and the human world remained intact it didn’t matter whether other dimensions would be destroyed.

‘You just have to clear it before the Beastmen and Gishins.’

When another race clears the current Babel will withdraw but another ‘Babel’ will come.

A zero-sum game in which except for the one race that conquered Babel the remaining two races are discarded.

Competition in games Competition between humans Competition between races.

A creature living in a place like this cannot be sane.

‘Now I can make an angel descend. I also have to kill Mandarion.’

Phase 1 of the Sephiroth (tree of spirituality) and angelic relics which are about to be completed.

Additionally once you have the last piece the angel descends and at the same time completes the first rank Malkuth.

Gonghyeok left to gather the last preparations for the angel’s descent.

[Leaves the hidden location ‘Angel Nathaniel’s Sanctuary’]

[You will be moved to a random location in the Dungeon of Four Directions]

“Um ball… No Mr. “What’s going on?”

“Are you sure you knew that person?”

Gonghyeok found Soma Sangai’s party wandering through the dungeon. It was simple using GM’s map.

The seven hunters excluding Soma fell far away from Gonghyeok.

The worst killer who doesn’t know what to do. That was X’s notoriety on the second floor.

“I’ll show you the way. “There are achievements and rewards for you to earn at the western end.”

“All right.”

Soma answered immediately without a moment of hesitation. Soma decided to become Geumgang Yacha for Gonghyeok and Yeonsi. Once trusted the orders of a leader are carried out without katabuta.

That was his identity as he traveled around the battlefield as the Dalai Lama’s protector.

Gonghyeok gave Soma the key to the bonus dungeon and the remaining ‘Angel’s Tears’.

“There will be a long-distance attack demon mandarion at the western end. If you enter his territory always use the Diamond Bull Ingot. And no matter what attack happens just go out and open the door with this key.”

“Is that the end? “Maybe it’s too easy…”

“No it will never be easy. It’s not the guy who made you wake up in the first place but the guy who arranged it so you don’t pass by. Lastly the aftereffects of the attack will be a severe curse.”

Gonghyuk’s finger touched the transparent ‘angel’s tears.’

“At that time eat this gem. However if you do not eat it within 1 second after the Diamond Buddha is released you will die without even lifting a finger. “I’ll guarantee it.”

“All right. “If you give that advice it is correct.”

At that time Soma’s eyes turned to the group behind him.

“Leave the group behind. “If we follow them anyway we’ll all die.”

“··· All right. But even though it is an important reward is there a reason you are sending it to me alone?”

Jiguchen Soma Sangai.

He must create ‘Nirvana’ one of Babel’s strongest strategy clans.

For that to happen you shouldn’t be anywhere near Gonghyeok. You must become the strongest hunter with many rewards and fast growth.

Gonghyeok’s eyes looked into the distance.

“I have something to talk about with the people who went north.”

With those words Gonghyuk disappeared. Soma nodded once and left his original group.

As they walked away from Soma they sighed deeply.

“I’m talking about the person named Soma who just left. “Aren’t you very skilled and trustworthy?”

“that’s right. Ugh as soon as I find the exit I have to leave. I came here assuming that he would be good at tanking. If this happens it will be lost…”

“I can’t find the exit properly…”

Tuk

They were talking about the departure of their top tanker.

As they were going out relying on the torch hanging on the wall the head of the colleague who had been talking just now was hanging in front of them.

I don’t even know if I cut my own head ‘···. ‘I don’t know if it exists.’ His lips moved calmly.

“Uh huh!?”

“Deren! Everyone attack the front lines!”

Six avatars appeared brightening the dark dungeon in an instant.

Step by step

But the sound of footsteps was coming from behind.

“I am. “I decided to kill 100 people up to the third floor.”

The long scimitar in his right hand took a graceful turn.

Tuk

Another person’s head rolled around.

“But I can only kill 10 people so far. “Let’s fill our quota.”

“You killer bastard!”

After a moment of screaming silence came to the dungeon.

Damp blood-soaked cigarette smoke rose from next to the pile of corpses.

“Should I just quit this guy’s shit? “In order to hide my identity I can’t even smoke…”

Gonghyuk’s eyes turned to the north of the dungeon.

The place where 《Northern Holy Beast Gerenil》 is located.

Additionally it was in the direction of the exit of this dungeon.

“I guess I should meet her.”

Julia Froebe.

My idol from 200 years ago.

Maria said in a fuss.

“Yulia a white coin is a great reward!”

“I’ve never heard of a coin like that before. And it’s the devil’s tomb…”

The tomb of the demon Bahto guarded by Gerenil the Holy Beast of the North.

Holy Beast Gerenil believed in the ‘Savior of the Second Floor’ and opened the way.

A party of 10 people including Julia went there.

A weathered skull and dried twisted bat wings remained in the cracked ground a landscape beyond human understanding.

Julia who went up there alone came down with a white coin and an S-rank item.

Maria was extremely happy.

She had one of her toes cut off by X.

When she lost hope of breaking through to the second floor and was in despair Julia came to see her.

‘Don’t give up. I will save everyone.’

With a slightly sad face she miraculously made the first draw.

Neither the white coins nor the S-grade items were desirable at all.

It was an item only allowed to Julia.

‘Is everyone like that?’

Even looking at the faces of other colleagues they are bright without any pretense.

Everyone was following Yulia wholeheartedly.

‘If I hadn’t had Captain Julia’s savior title in the first place I wouldn’t have been able to get in.’

‘We haven’t done anything so there’s nothing to regret. ha ha ha’

No one was jealous that Julia took the white coins and items.

It was a strong party that was united without unnecessary differences or greed with the wise Julia as the pillar.

It’s only been a day since we met

One side of Maria’s head throbbed.

Maria shook her head to shake off the pain.

Then he smiled and said to Julia.

“Congratulations on getting the white coin. “Even items.”

“Ugh.”

For some reason there was a shadow on Julia’s face.

“Miss Julia where are you in pain? “My complexion is not good.”

“are you okay. “I was worried about that because I didn’t know exactly where this place was.”

The elderly hunter who had been following Yulia from the first floor was worried.

When Julia answered appropriately the companions stopped talking.

Continuing silence Yulia standing at the head of the group moved her lips so that no one could see.

‘I’m not wrong.’

It just continued like that without showing its face to anyone.

She and her companions moved forward as if they were buried in a dark dungeon.

“Oh sister! in front!”

Maria’s piercing screams were heard.

Oops! Julia quickly raised her head and looked around.

I don’t know what traps or monsters there might be if the people on the front line can’t find them. Where were you selling your nerves?

Julia blamed herself for her carelessness and looked at the place where Maria screamed.

There…

“The X in front is X! “It’s X!”

A man in a dark red hood wearing a vicious dog mask with prominent white molars was standing there.

Maria’s hysterical screams continued.

Gonghyeok was waiting for them on the street corner.

It’s easy as long as you capture Yulia’s location using the GM’s map.

“Everyone step back!”

“I will attack first!”

Julia’s companions immediately prepared for battle.

Just as they were about to attack without question and answer Yulia’s strong voice struck everyone’s ears.

“No stop!”

“colon!”

“Julia we must attack quickly!”

Julia made eye contact with the group behind her and opened her mouth heavily.

“Everyone please step back. “I will try my best.”

“······. be careful. “Julia.”

After agreeing Julia looked at the X in front of her again.

“We don’t want to fight with you. “Can you please step aside?”

“I didn’t really come here to fight either.”

The group including Julia flinched.

‘This is my first time hearing X’s voice.’

‘You seem quite young don’t you think?’

“I just want to talk a little. “Julia Froebe and you.”

Gonghyeok’s finger pointed towards Yulia and the others.

“You mean with us? Rather how can I say my name…”

“That’s not important. “If you put your mind to it you can find out about it either from people around you or through an analytical avatar.”

“That is correct. “But I don’t know what kind of conversation you want.”

Julia’s eyes looked directly at Gonghyeok’s mask.

“If you want to talk please take off your mask. “I don’t want to talk to someone I don’t trust.”

A swallowing sound was heard from behind Julia.

“If you want to talk take off your mask. “Is that what you’re asking for now?”

“It might sound that way to you Mr. But I just want mutual trust to establish dialogue.”

“Trust trust trust…”

At that moment it seemed like laughter could be heard behind X’s mask.

“Julia. “Do you now see me as an equal partner?”

The scimitar in Gonghyeok’s right hand rotated once.

Scream

Maria unconsciously checked to see if her neck was still attached.

But it wasn’t anyone’s neck that was rolling around. There is only one long scimitar that rolls carelessly while making a metallic sound.

“It’s rude to cover your face with a beautiful woman. Take off your mask. “I will also throw away my weapons.”

Clatter rattle rattle.

It wasn’t just Eonwoldo Island. Chained swords long swords dual swords catarrhal knuckle spears obsidian swords caltrops for flooring and greaves. All kinds of weapons were spread out on the dungeon floor.

“Julia I have no intention of fighting with you. Instead give it to your companions. “I don’t have a hobby of showing my face to anyone.”

“Stop talking bullshit! “Kill me right now…”

“stop!”

Julia’s roar echoed off the dungeon walls.

The hunter who was trying to attack Gonghyeok while he had no weapon stopped moving and looked at Yulia.

“Everyone please step back further. I am the strongest here.

“It’s not like I can last even a few seconds against him without a weapon.”

“······. All right.”

Julia bit the group.

The torches in the dungeon were dark. Because of this it is difficult to identify faces even from a small distance.

“Now take off your mask.”

“If you want.”

With a clicking sound the evil dog’s mask was released.

“Oh my god you’re so young. No I’m young. 25 years old? “No 20 years old?”

“Age has nothing to do with killing people.”

“is it so. “It certainly is.”

Yulia and Gonghyeok’s eyes met again.

We ran into each other during the last draw but it was with a mask on.

This is the first time we look at each other with bare faces.

About 20 seconds passed like that.

A look of obvious embarrassment appeared on Julia’s face.

At the same time the corners of Gonghyuk’s mouth curled up in a fishy tone.

“Julia. Why do you do that? “What’s wrong?”

“No no. “You said you were talking so why aren’t you saying anything?”

“We have to talk about cancer. “Let’s talk about why you’re embarrassed first.”

Gonghyuk pointed to his eyes.

“’I used the ability twice including the last time but it didn’t work. This time I took off the mask too.’

“You’re thinking that right now right?”

“!?”

Julia opened her mouth in shock.

“Now shall we talk to the people behind us?”

Gonghyeok shouted loudly as he passed Yulia.

“Hey you guys. “How was the Devil’s Tomb?”

“How did you do that…”

“But where is the reward? Coins and S-rank items. “Who has it all now?”

“that···. To Captain Yulia…”

Gonghyuk chuckled and spread his arms slightly.

“In the end Yulia took it alone. Are you really not dissatisfied? “Not one?”

There were groans and silence from the companions. Gonghyuk pointed to Maria.

“Especially Maria. You stabbed an innocent man in the neck for a few coins on the first floor. A person who has never killed a monster let alone committed murder.

Among these are there any people who have killed people because of coins or items? “They say you tried to kill the shadows?”

Beneath the flickering torch there was a clear red shadow.

“To have complete control over these murderers and scum. Julia this is truly amazing ‘trust’. ”

“Ah ahhh.”

Someone’s moans were the starting point and the group screamed in unison.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

“Aaaaaaaaa!”

The narrow passage of the dungeon was filled with the screams of nine people.

“Stop stop stop—!”

pop

It was amazing.

Starting with Julia’s words the screams and movements of the nine people stopped.

The fact that I didn’t even blink reminded me of the game screen where I pressed the stop button.

“It’s a really great and convenient ability.”

“Stop talking. “My abilities are broken!”

“Okay okay. “It’s important for a good person like you.”

Gonghyuk approached Yulia.

“Julia Froebe the great savior who survived 150 people in a tie on the first floor and came up with a solution of a draw on the second floor is actually…”

‘Brainwashing.’ Only the shape of the mouth moved like that.

“■■What a villain I am. You controlled and deceived everyone’s minds.

You really are the worst person right? right? If this becomes known how much disdain will people look at it? “Don’t you think it would be fun just to think about it?”

Julia’s face turned pale.
