    Episode 424

    Simon and Lethe entered the black cave without hesitation.

    Although it was extremely cold outside the inside of the cave was unusually warm.

    “It looks a bit ordinary for a dungeon entrance.”

    Simon said looking around at the jagged stalactites growing on the cave ceiling.

    “I think I’ve come to the right place.”

    Lethe who was walking side by side pointed straight ahead with her fingertip. I hadn’t walked that far and I could already see the end of the cave.

    The end of the cave was blocked and two complex magic barrier circles were spread out.

    One side is black and the other side is white. The long circuits flowing from the two magic circles were connected into a very small gap in the cave wall.

    “It’s just as Israfil said.”

    Simon said as he approached.

    “Jet black magic circle and sacred magic circle. This is exactly what I was saying about the need for both pitch darkness and divinity.”

    “It sure would have been tricky if I hadn’t come with you.”

    Lete also spoke while looking at the composition of the magic circle next to him.

    “If you try too hard to change the composition the cave will collapse.”

    “There is no need to change it.”

    Simon said placing his hand on the black magic circle.

    “Let’s get started right away.”

    “great.”

    Lethe also placed her hand on the white magic circle. The two closed their eyes at the same time increased their concentration and began to create jet black and divine energy and infuse it into the magic circle.

    Ugh!

    The magic circle which was like an empty shell with only its form remaining was activated awakening the rune and operating the formulas.

    As if the gears are interlocking the components receive strength one by one and the magic circle begins to fully operate.

    Coo coo coo coo coo!

    The two people turned their heads.

    The cave wall opened not at the end of the cave they were facing but at the side revealing a large portal.

    “Good good.”

    Lethe smiled tapping her palm.

    “Everything is as expected~ The terrible cold weather is now over!”

    Simon also let go of the magic circle and came to Lethe’s side.

    “let’s go.”

    “yes!”

    Two people threw themselves towards the portal at the same time.

    * * *

    The depth of the portal was not that deep. As soon as I passed through the portal I fell to the floor.

    ‘hmm.’

    Simon’s expression hardened slightly.

    It’s all bones.

    The bones of humans animals and monsters formed a large hill.

    Less evil!

    Just then Lethe also landed next to Simon.

    Then I lowered my gaze when I heard a clattering sound beneath my feet.

    “!!”

    It made a scared noise and clung to Simon’s arm. Lethe was afraid of skeletons because of her past memories.

    “are you okay? Lethe.”

    Simon asked softly. Lethe whose face was pale looked at Simon and hurriedly fell to the side.

    “hmm. ah. It’s okay.”

    Then I cleared my throat in embarrassment.

    “If you’re having a hard time wait outside. I’m enough on my own.”

    “……Are you being kind or looking down on this person?”

    There was strength in her eyes.

    “This is the Holy Federation’s business. As a saint there is absolutely no way for me to step down.”

    I knew you would say that.

    Simon walked away without saying another word. Lethe also walked next to him.

    Beads of her sweat dripped down and landed on the skull’s head. Every time he steps on the bones under his feet he flinches in surprise at the rattling sound but desperately looks forward and walks forward.

    This guy is truly amazing.

    “Simon there.”

    Then Lethe stretched out her hand and pointed forward.

    There was someone.

    A young woman wearing a priest’s uniform and glasses and smiling brightly.

    ‘Where have I seen this person a lot?’

    I had a strong ominous feeling. Simon rustled a photo out of his robe pocket.

    “I’m sure.”

    Simon said with a stern face.

    “This is the teacher who came to the village before us and disappeared.”

    “It looks like it was offered up in the dungeon as a sacrifice.”

    Lethe’s expression immediately turned cold.

    “Is it your hobby to turn yourself into a eaten meal? Monster.”

    It was as if he understood what I was saying.

    The lump of human-shaped flesh bulged and multiplied several times in size.

    Pow! puck!

    Massive limbs protruded through the skin.

    puck!

    A reptile or more accurately an elongated head similar to a dragon stuck out. Its entire body is covered with brown scales and it has blade-like claws on its back.

    A cold air flowed from his mouth and his eyes were blue.

    Because it is a dungeon monster its risk has not been measured but it is common knowledge that all monsters in the shape of a dragon are powerful.

    thud! thud! thud!

    Did he think it was the same sacrifice as always? The wingless dragon rushed forward shaking its heavy legs. All the bones that were stepped on turned into powder and spread on the floor.

    “Are you ready?”

    “Don’t fall behind.”

    The monster opened its mouth wide revealing its sharp teeth. Lethe raised her right arm.

    <Divine Barrier>

    Woooooooo!

    The monster’s charge was blocked from the front and Simon sneaked in in the meantime.

    The hem of the black robe fluttered and six bottles of deadly poison potion soared into the air.

    ‘Open the door!’

    Plus overload.

    Tentacle blades struck from six directions and broke the potion bottles one by one. With the poison on the blade it dug into the monster’s scales.

    -Geez!

    The monster howled as if in pain.

    “nice!”

    This time Lethe lifted the Divine Barrier and flew up.

    The divinity gathered in her hand and took the form of a large hammer.

    <Divine Hammer>

    Woooooooooo!

    There was a powerful blow to the head.

    The large monster staggered backwards and Simon and Lete released their skills and rushed back.

    -Grrrrr!

    The monster’s body bulged and soon its legs gained weight and it took on a bipedal form.

    Just like the human form earlier it seemed to have a specialty in constantly changing its appearance.

    “what.”

    Lethe kicked off the floor and flew up.

    “What if I just change my appearance?”

    Her new form changed into a pure white steel line and shot out.

    The monster stretched out its arm but Lethe’s kick broke five of its knuckles.

    -Geez!

    The monster twisted its head and thrust its mouth towards Lethe’s thigh.

    Jump!

    But this time Simon’s right foot hit the monster’s face. The monster’s face fell like a shoe print and Simon tumbled backwards and landed on the floor.

    ‘I’m feeling fine today.’

    He activated the magic circle drawn on his hand. A vast amount of jet black spread out and seeped into the surrounding bones.

    ‘Follow me.’

    When Simon raised his index finger the bones on the floor responded to his command and floated up.

    <Born Prison>

    As a necromancer the use of geographical features is essential.

    Bones were stuck to the monster’s body or connected like chains to create a prison. The monster suddenly trapped struggled to get out.

    “Lethe!”

    “I know!”

    Lete also saw Simon’s Bone Prison and prepared white magic to match it. Twenty divine blades rushed from the air passed through the gap in the prison and plunged into the monster’s skin.

    The monster writhed in pain and let out a scream.

    “It’s persistent that it’s not even Mr.

    “You must make sure to stop breathing!”

    Quaaaaa!

    The monster trapped in the bone prison fired a cold breath from its mouth. The bones froze like icicles and fell to the floor.

    Simon and Lethe also quickly took a step back and prepared for the next move.

    -Grrrrr!

    And monsters that stop breathing also begin their third mutation.

    From bipedal walking back to quadrupedal walking. No eight legs were added and it started running towards Lethe leading the twelve legs.

    It looked like a centipede.

    “ha.”

    She blew out her breath and put her hands together as if praying. Then I closed my eyes and recited the spell.

    <Strength Bless Heist La Vitesse>

    There was no need for a magic circle. Every time she chants a spell numerous different blessings come into her body. The brilliance of brilliant colors enveloped her.

    And Simon raises his finger and aims at the monster. Several curse magic circles were floating in the air.

    <Exhaust Sickness Weakness Paralyze>

    Curse magic shot out one after another from Simon’s fingertips. While the monster was getting weaker due to the curse Lethe was getting stronger due to the blessing.

    And when Lethe and the monster finally meet.

    Sigh.

    The difference in power between the two beings is literally the difference between heaven and earth.

    Boom!

    When Lethe struck the charging monster’s head with a fist wrapped in divinity it fell straight into the ground.

    The ensuing one-sided offensive.

    Lethe was also at the top level in ‘seongtu’ the martial art of priests. With each movement of her fists and legs the monster’s joints collapsed and its scales cracked.

    PAD DEUD DEUD DEUK!

    The difference between force and speed is obvious.

    Boom!

    The monster hit by her subsequent straight shot was thrown against the cave wall. He seemed to have come to his senses and started running away.

    “Oh annoying!”

    Lethe gasped and stretched out her arms.

    The monster is running away and there are many obstacles around.

    ‘At this time.’

    ‘Change the switch to divinity!’

    Simon gathered the darkness and filled his body with divinity. And stretched out his right arm.

    A divine spear is created in front of him and blessing magic flies in the form of a belt wrapping around the spear and turning into a drill.

    And the same composition was unfolding for Lethe on the left.

    The magic of two people is completed at the same time.

    <Lete Original – La Escream> ×2

    Tukwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

    With an ejection sound the sacred spear shot out like a white line.

    Pow!

    puck!

    The body of the monster impaled by the two drills hits the wall.

    A loud noise that shook the entire dungeon.

    Blood splattered from the monster’s abdomen staining the surrounding area green.

    “ha.”

    “Whew.”

    Simon and Lethe lowered their arms at the same time. Then they made eye contact and then laughed.

    “It’s pretty good.”

    “It’s still a long way from the original.”

    There was no need to say much. The two put their hands on their knees for a moment and enjoyed the afterglow of victory.

    * * *

    After destroying the monster earlier Simon rummaged through the corpse. Lethe was turned around with her arms crossed as if she was not in a good mood.

    Soon Simon discovered a key-shaped ore in the monster’s remains.

    The two moved right away and were finally able to reach the final destination of the dungeon.

    “The dungeon is not as big as I thought.”

    Lethe said running a hand through her hair.

    “huh. And I guess that monster from earlier was the last one guarding the dungeon owner.”

    “It feels like someone has already cleared everything.”

    She waved her finger.

    “Of course someone could not defeat the ‘dungeon owner’ in the end and was killed. I guess I can guess that much.”

    “The dungeon owner is right in front of us.”

    Simon stood in front of the large door holding the key from the monster that died earlier.

    “Open.”

    “I’m ready.”

    Lethe gathered her divinity and prepared for any emergency.

    Simon slowly inserted the key into the keyhole.

    ‘ah!’

    Then suddenly the key slipped out of Simon’s hand and was sucked into the keyhole and then it clattered! The stone door began to open with a sound.

    Grrrggggggggeuk-

    Ominous white smoke flowed out through the crack in the door along with the sound of stones scraping on the floor.

    Finally the dungeon master’s room was fully revealed.

    “……!”

    And the expressions of Simon and Lethe who looked inside hardened at the same time.

    “……What is this?”
