    Episode 506

    The first basement level of the Geumgwang Dungeon.

    This was truly a strange place that felt like a dungeon. The first basement floor was not a floor but a space filled with a sea of ​​red.

    And perhaps the original color of this sea was not red. Human corpses were floating around all the time.

    ‘……The bodies of failed test subjects were probably brought here.’

    And the road to Simon’s next destination ‘B2F’ is at the end of Jungang Street which crosses this unpleasant sea.

    Central Street was connected to several large and small streets from which immortal soldiers were constantly pouring in.

    “Prince! Send zombies at 7 o’clock to stop them!”

    [okay!]

    “Erje! Create a barrier with spider webs on the side legs!”

    [I understand!]

    The more you fight the fewer legions of undead follow you.

    I can’t help it. This place had three underground levels so we had to fight efficiently by using our troops while conserving our strength as much as possible.

    ‘More than that.’

    Simon raised his head.

    ‘What happened to this space?’

    A river of blood was flowing upstairs but it did not fall down. The sea water here is flowing all the way up. It was evidence that space was extremely distorted.

    Of course it was strange to expect common sense and physical laws of the continent in a dungeon.

    “Simon’s path is cut off.”

    Hearing Kazan’s words Simon immediately came to his senses and stopped walking. As he said the road ahead was cut off.

    ‘It was Nirti’s doing.’

    Debris is floating in the sea as if the road had just been destroyed. And after a few hundred meters the highway continued again.

    thud! thud! thud! thud!

    And even at this moment immortal soldiers continued to pour into the central street where Simon was.

    [What are we going to do now Simon?]

    Prince asked.

    “You can’t do that. Let’s leave this to the legion’s undead and quickly cross by ourselves.”

    Simon was the first to jump up kicking the floor and landing on the debris floating in the red sea.

    Slosh!

    The fragments swayed precariously and tried to sink unable to even support Simon’s weight. Simon quickly crossed over to the next fragment.

    “Ugh this is dangerous.”

    [Hehe! There is no need to go that hard.]

    Erzsebet held on to the spider web attached to the ceiling and flew up. Soon Kazan Prince was also connected with a spider web and launched followed by Simon who was also caught and dragged into the air.

    She took the lead and the three people connected to her web also moved.

    “good job! Ergé!”

    It was an incredibly comfortable move. In the distance you can see the road leading to the second basement level.

    ‘This is it! Just go a little further…!’

    [Everyone be careful!]

    Peer’s cry was heard.

    A sea of ​​blood surged in front of them as they moved on the spider web. Inside a long monster covered in red lava approached with its mouth wide open.

    ‘this!’

    Erzsebet stretched out her arms. The bodies of the three people were pushed out and the monster attacked Erzsebetmann and pinned him back on the floor on the other side.

    Simon who landed on the debris above the river shouted urgently.

    “Erje!!”

    [Leave this to me and keep going!]

    She was seen escaping by pushing the monster away with her web.

    Simon and Kazan Prince nodded and ran stepping on debris floating in the sea like stepping stones.

    Erzsebet got up and saw the monster that had pushed her away.

    [Why is there such a thing?]

    A chimera reminiscent of an earthworm that is dripping lava from its skin instead of sweat.

    He was also damaged by the lava and twisted his body in pain but his wounds continued to heal due to the dungeon’s regenerative effect.

    As he was immortal and could only exist in this gold mine dungeon he was a chimera who suffered forever.

    [It’s a shame. Since they are also the same undead-]

    Erzsebet spread her arms.

    [I will give you the gift of peaceful extinction!]

    As soon as he crossed his arms the spider web that had been spread in the air narrowed and caught the chimera.

    However the lava flowing from the body melted the spider web. The chimera easily escaped from its restraints and rushed towards Erzsebet.

    Kuuuung-!

    [Pfft!]

    She hit the chimera and fell to the ground again.

    The chimera kept pushing Erzsebet and opened its mouth wide. She was barely holding on with the strength of her two arms.

    Erzsebet’s web continued to try to entangle the chimera but it was melting due to the flowing lava. The compatibility of abilities was poor.

    [ha.]

    She sighed in resignation.

    [I don’t like it.]

    Toad-duk-

    Her white face cracked and skin of a different color popped out.

    Tootuk! Tuk!

    Soon the flesh on his waist began to tremble and the spider’s legs protruded and stepped firmly on the floor.

    In an instant Erzsebet kicked the floor with all eight legs and pushed the chimera away with only her strength.

    [I hate being unbeautiful even for a moment.]

    Erzsebet used her strength to lift the monster and pin it to the floor. Lava was scattered in all directions and the Chimera let out a roar.

    It’s been a long time since I fought in person. Her dark blue spiderwebs covered the surroundings.

    [I changed my mind. You have to pay the price for making me angry before it disappears right?]

    * * *

    With Erzebet’s help Simon and his group safely arrived at the second basement level of the dungeon.

    If the first basement floor was a fortress to prevent enemy invasion the second basement floor here was reminiscent of a large-scale detention facility.

    Everywhere was full of prisons and the undead residents of Tarados were constantly escaping through the open prison doors and flocking to Simon and his group.

    [There’s no end really!]

    Prince lunged forward and pulled his fist hard.

    [Hidden card punch!!]

    Tukwaaaaang—!

    Undead soldiers flew like leaves in the wind and hit the ceiling and walls. However even the mangled body was quickly regenerating.

    “Recovery is faster.”

    Kazan stuck out his tongue as he watched the zombie with its broken leg straighten up.

    “Let’s disperse from here.”

    Simon said while looking at the map.

    “There is a place called ‘Secret Experiment Building’ on the second basement floor. And on the third basement floor is Nirti’s personal laboratory. Kazan please go to the second floor as planned and find the ‘knife’. I’ll add Prince too.”

    “i get it.”

    “I will go down to the third floor and compete with Nirti.”

    Prince looked at Simon in surprise.

    [What is it? Just you and Pier are okay?]

    “Enough. and.”

    Simon stretched out his right hand and opened subspace.

    “Did you forget there’s still one more person?”

    Simon immediately grabbed the ‘cane’ that protruded from subspace and hit the floor.

    ‘Golden flower!’

    The floor of the dungeon turned golden and split into fragments that flew up. The immortal soldiers standing on the ground were caught in the wide-range attack and were blown away.

    “Please take care of this battle as well! Hersheva.”

    [Go ahead! Just trust me! Kid.]

    Hersheva once again lifted the golden floor into the air and sent the immortal soldiers flying.

    “Simon once the matter is resolved we will go down to the 3rd basement level.”

    “yes! Kazan. See you later!”

    Kazan and Prince continued to move forward while Simon took a slight detour and found the stairs leading down to the third basement level.

    -Geeee!

    -Sigh!

    Will this be Nirti’s last struggle? There was a crowd of undead soldiers who had escaped from the prison gate.

    ‘Let’s give it a try shall we?’

    Simon held the great sword of Peer in his right hand and Hersheba in his left.

    Ancient Undead and the power of the Undead equivalent to it.

    I couldn’t have felt more reassured.

    ‘Golden flower!’

    Simon turned the floor into gold through the power of Hersheba.

    Next the Great Sword of Destruction came down and advanced scraping the golden floor.

    ‘Slash!’

    Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!

    A mountain-sized pier’s slash spread across the floor.

    First hit with a slash. In the aftermath golden fragments spread out and fell hitting the second blow.

    In an instant a path opened between the undead army and Simon ran along the hole created by the slash.

    ‘We’re there now!’

    Up ahead I could see the stairs going down to the third and final basement level.

    * * *

    “Thank you!”

    “I thought I was going to die like this.”

    Dungeon 2nd floor above ground.

    The detention center where residents were imprisoned before becoming test subjects was located on the second floor above ground.

    Cerne was blocking the Undead Legion with feather soldiers and evacuating the residents out of the dungeon.

    “Now this way!”

    “Keep your head down and move quickly!”

    Guiding the refugees was being done by manipulating some residents with feathers. Of course Cernet himself was yawning lazily with his arms crossed behind him.

    “I’m tired.”

    Even though I came to the dungeon I couldn’t find any sense of tension. It was the leisure of the strong.

    She cleared the corner of her eyes and yawned again.

    “Simon also leaves these chores to me.”

    “Over there…”

    Her eyes opened slowly and turned to the side. A dirty and scruffy little boy hesitantly approached me.

    “Thank you for saving my mom and dad!”

    Then he bowed his head. Sernet looked at the little boy and gestured with his hand as if he was annoyed.

    “This this.”

    The little boy held out something with his crinkly hand.

    A piece of stone bread that has hardened and become hard.

    “I’ll give it to you!”

    The little boy put a piece of bread in Sernet’s hand and bowed his head as hard as he could. Then he ran towards his parents.

    “…….”

    She looked at the bread with an expressionless face.

    It was really hard as a rock.

    Only the tip was slightly damp and had saliva on it. Perhaps it was too bad to eat so I held on by melting the bread with my tongue.

    “Cerne Eindark.”

    It was then.

    Someone was walking in the dark with the sound of footsteps.

    When the people who were escaping saw him they all ran away in panic.

    “what.”

    Cernet smiled.

    “I’m a little lucky today. Was the boss here?”

    Nirti the head researcher and general manager of the Tarados branch.

    The face was covered in shadow and could not be seen. Cerne took out a feather and held it in her hand.

    “Cerne Eindark. 18 years old 2nd year at Keygen. Although he was adopted he is the current official successor to Ivory Tower.”

    Cerne’s eyebrows furrowed in displeasure. Nirti smiled and continued.

    “I wanted to meet you at least once.”

    “Me?”

    “okay. Your path from starting as an adopted child to taking down the entire ivory tower was quite impressive. I also got a lot of inspiration.”

    Nirti put her hands on her waist.

    “But my actions after joining Keygen were a series of disappointments.”

    “…….”

    “Even after the heir of the Ivory Tower was taken hostage and suffered the shame of having to wear a Kizen uniform you behaved calmly all year long. I thought it was an intention to destroy the school from within but now it doesn’t seem like that’s the case.”

    Her tongue moved like a snake.

    “Why? Was Keygen so powerful that they gave up? Or did you feel proud and proud of wearing that school uniform and becoming a Kizen? It’s as if they are only releasing obedient prisoners according to their intentions!”

    Nirti smiled and held out her hand.

    “Let’s stop doing that and join hands with me.”

    Sernet’s expression darkened as he looked at the outstretched hand.

    “Am I with you?”

    “You probably guessed it when you came here right? What is the purpose of this desperate experiment?”

    “Immortal soldiers who never die.”

    “that’s right. This was only possible within this dungeon but now it is possible to use immortal soldiers outside of the dungeon.”

    Nirti spread her arms.

    “Those immortal soldiers that the great lords feared so much! No matter how much Kizen you have you can’t win against an undead soldier who neither dies nor disappears! You saw it too right?”

    “Uhm-”

    “We have a common enemy called Keygen. The immortal soldiers’ first target is Kizen. Ser: If you help me things will go much easier.”

    Nirti grinned.

    “This experiment is almost complete. I just need a little more time. If the promised day comes and the ivory tower and the organization rise together…!”

    “I think I’m misunderstanding something. Monkey lady.”

    Cerne crossed her arms and smiled.

    “I assure you there is nothing you can do about Keygen with your toys.”

    “toy. What?”

    Nirti was furious.

    “And you said that my performance after entering Keygen was disappointing but I disagree.”

    Cernet waved his finger.

    “I am very very satisfied with my life right now~ The only way to destroy Keygen. The twist is next to me and close to me. The path I chose is not wrong.”

    “……Don’t be ridiculous! There is nothing better than the immortal soldier and deadly plan I created!”

    “no. there is.”

    she laughed

    “Simon Pollentia. The continent of the future will soon be reorganized around him. There would be no more fatal blow to Kizen than taking Simon away from the damn living Witch of Death and her daughter.”

    “At best a promising talent like that is more valuable than me and a dead end?”

    “Of course.”

    Cerne lifted the feather in her hand.

    “And if you’re thinking of offering me something.”

    Pow!

    Her feather broke into Nirti’s abdomen.

    “Isn’t it polite to at least come in the main body?”

    “Wow!”

    Nirti’s body turned to the color of earth and collapsed.

    “You will regret it…!”

    puck!

    Serne who trampled Nirti’s head with her shoe turned her back shaking her ivory hair.

    “…….”

    However in his left hand he was still holding the hard bread the girl had given him.

    Sernet who was staring at it threw it behind his head.

    “You eat it yourself.”

    The flying bread fell into the palm of the person who was controlling it with a feather.

    Sernet who was watching him greedily devouring the bread lifted the corner of his mouth and walked lightly.
