Somebody Stop the Pope – 200



Episode 200

5.

[You have entered the Abyss Dungeon <Labyrinth of the Faceless>.]

[Time left until the dungeon rampage <[email protected]!#@@@>]

[Clear the dungeon before the rampage.]

The dungeon lived up to its name.

As soon as we entered a huge door greeted us.

The characteristic of the Abyss Dungeon is that the dungeon itself is located in a completely different world.

Just like the Abyss Dungeon where CEO Choi was isolated last time.

“This is my last date with His Majesty before I go to China.”

Luna muttered as she took out her hammer.

The officer temporarily dispatched to China was decided to be Luna. Leo had no real choice as he still had to train the Inquisitors in Seoul.

I nodded while listening to Luna’s nagging.

“If we’re lucky we can even create a temporary holy place in China.”

“I told you the Forward Temple Strategy was a hit?”

“It’s just a possibility.”

If the <Random Relic> you obtain here is a powerful enough relic to become the core of the Holy Land then the ‘Forward Temple’ that Luna advocated would be a very feasible strategy.

Opening a channel to China will be a great advantage for the future strategy of the church.

Well it all depends on luck.

The <Random Holy Relic> you will obtain while clearing this dungeon must be large enough to hold the center of the Holy Land.

In the end it’s luck.

When I think about my luck so far… maybe it’ll work out?

By the way Ja-Hyeon’s condition is not good.

“Ja-hyeon.”

“…yes.”

“Why is your expression like that?”

Maybe it was because I pushed him away earlier but his face was filled with pain.

I guess I need to loosen things up a bit.

I put my arm around the guy’s shoulder and spoke in a soft voice.

“Ja-hyeon.”

“Yes brother.”

“Let’s do well.”

I slightly put strength into my arms.

Then Ja-hyeon flinched then nodded her head with a big smile.

“yes!”

“Yeah it’s good that you listen well.”

“Ja-hyeon I didn’t know you would take the lead and pave the way. You were much hotter than I thought. I almost fell in love with you.”

“Is that so Sister?”

“Oh it was cool?”

“I will work hard!”

I found out one thing about Ja-Hyeon and that is that he really likes women.

Ja-Hyeon who is becoming close friends with Luna very quickly says that crazy guys communicate with each other.

Earlier he spoke to Seolhwa on the helicopter.

Of course unlike Luna Seolhwa cut off the conversation with a cold voice.

What did he say? Was it ‘Don’t talk to me’?

I smiled faintly as I watched Luna putting Ja-Hyeon on the plane.

Luna is good at that kind of thing.

“Okay let’s go in now.”

I slowly approached the huge door.

In the middle of the labyrinth’s door was a large black jewel and around that jewel the black tentacles we saw earlier were extending out in all directions.

It looked as if the door had been encroached upon.

In front of the door was written a sentence in a strange-looking language.

“hmm.”

As I was looking at the sentence the story next to me spoke.

“It doesn’t seem to be the language of Earth.”

“Yes. One thing is certain.”

“What is it?”

“It’s not Korean.”

“…Can we be serious?”

“I came with a light heart so let’s go at an easy pace.”

It wasn’t exactly the language I had in mind but it wasn’t hard to understand that sentence.

An unpleasant oracle that resonates in your head as soon as you put your hand on it.

【Prove your qualifications.】

Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

A voice completely different from the one I heard at <Fortress of the Dead> at that time.

But what is clear is that it too is a trust.

I frowned.

“Prove your qualifications? Or at least tell me how.”

Having come this far there was no turning back.

No I can’t go back.

How can you turn back after seeing a threatening text message saying that if you don’t clear the place something big will happen to the Korean peninsula?

And above all

“There is no exit around.”

The entrance is one-way.

There seemed to be an unspoken rule that you couldn’t leave until you cleared the labyrinth as there was no exit anywhere except for the giant door leading to it.

“The problem is how to open the door. Seolhwa how do you think it opens?”

“If you asked me to prove my qualifications… wouldn’t there be some kind of device?”

“It’s a device.”

But no matter how hard I searched I couldn’t find the device.

How much time has passed like that?

Ja-Hyeon who didn’t have much patience said as he pulled out his sword.

“I’ll just cut it down.”

Woooooooooooo-.

Ja-Hyeon’s sword began to resonate and soon a purple energy appeared on Ja-Hyeon’s sword.

Ja-hyeon calls it ‘geom-gang’.

Is it a kind of blade created through internal energy?

Sarrururuk-.

Ja-Hyeon’s sword neatly cut through the huge door from top to bottom.

Tremendous cutting power.

“Beat…..”

As Ja-Hyeon was about to mutter while smiling a change occurred at the door.

Chorrrrrrrrrr-.

A tentacle extending from the black jewel held the door in place as it split in half.

And after a while the door returned to its original state as if nothing had happened.

Ja-Hyeon frowned slightly as she looked at the sight.

“Isn’t this the right way?”

“hmm.”

I listened to Ja-Hyeon’s words stretched my body slightly and then walked toward the door and said.

“Ja-hyeon.”

“yes?”

“You still have a long way to go.”

After gathering all the strength in his body he quickly slammed the door with his right hand.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh …

Then the door shatters into pieces.

Black tentacles?

That didn’t really matter.

A labyrinth door that turns to dust and flows away before the tentacles can restore it.

I looked at Ja-Hyeon with a snicker.

“Do more lower body exercises. Your lower body is weak.”

“…yes.”

Okay shall we go in now?

6.

What is a labyrinth?

Usually when we say labyrinth we mean a place that is made so that once you enter it it is difficult to get out.

A structure that is difficult to get out of once you fall into it.

Add in some vicious monsters and you have a perfect labyrinth.

Kwajijijik-.

In that sense this place was a place that was perfectly worthy of the name Labyrinth.

“It’s endless it’s endless.”

I could only grumble as I kicked the heads of the faceless monsters.

It’s already been two hours since I entered the labyrinth.

If it weren’t for Luna’s watch I wouldn’t even know how much time had passed.

“That’s why I wear a mechanical watch. What would have happened if I hadn’t worn this?”

“I don’t think that’s something to be said with the price of a car wrapped around your wrist. What if you break your watch?”

“I thought so so I blessed it with holy water and am protecting it with divine power.”

“Life is so hard.”

“It’s romantic it’s romantic.”

Luna roughly wiped the blood from the hammer onto the monster’s body.

A monster in human form.

The monsters we encountered last time when we went to rescue CEO Choi are different in their attire.

At first glance these clothes look like formal attire.

I picked up a piece of cloth rolling on the floor.

“Are they priests?”

An unpleasant divine power felt from those monsters.

That divine power was the same one we felt as we entered the entrance.

At my words Luna nodded raising the hammer onto her shoulder.

“Yes. Did you see them use their healing powers earlier?”

“No matter how much I think about it these guys are a bit too much for us to deal with.”

“That’s true. I’d rather have Magi. By the way it was a good thing I brought Ja-Hyeon. An irregular is an irregular.”

Luna gestured towards the direction where Ja-Hyeon was fighting.

There Ja-Hyeon continued the battle with his sword in hand.

Ja-Hyeon’s fighting style was completely different from ours.

A battle that could not be described as more elegant.

The guy’s sword glows in the dim light and dances quietly.

That black one isn’t unnecessarily flashy.

He corners his enemies with his extremely restrained sword and then unleashes his power at the crucial moment ending their lives.

A restrained yet explosive sword.

Moderation explosion.

Despite their polar opposite personalities both of these qualities are alive and well in his sword.

So of course it can’t help but feel elegant.

“I would like to kidnap you and take you to Eden. You seem like you would be perfect as a swordsmanship instructor.”

“Is there really a need to kidnap you to Eden?”

“yes?”

“You can teach it to the first and second generation trainees. There are quite a few trainees who chose swords as their main weapon right?”

A perfect swordsmanship that even the swordsmen of Eden cannot keep up with.

As expected from someone who was hired by Cheonma he’s good at swords.

Is martial arts really the art of martial arts?

“Still the story is worth the price of the meal.”

“Not only my magical abilities but my judgment has also improved significantly.”

“I felt it too.”

The role that Seolhwa takes on is purely combat assistance.

It seems like her overall fighting power has really increased a lot thanks to her recent absorption of magic stones and her many battles.

It kept us comfortable throughout the battle.

For example creating a battlefield that is advantageous to us or slowing down the enemy’s movements.

Snow Flower’s freezing magic makes combat a bit easier.

Thanks to this it consumes less physical strength.

I think it was a good idea to bring them both.

“Brother! What are you and Sister Luna talking about so happily?”

Ja-Hyeon who had just finished fighting came running.

“Your gossip.”

“You are a coward.”

“Shall I make this a preface?”

“sorry.”

Ja-hyeon lightly moistened her throat with the water bottle Luna had thrown her. Then she wiped her lips and tried to hand it to Seol-hwa.

“I’m fine.”

“You need to drink plenty of water to be healthy…”

Seolhwa lightly made ice with her fingers then put the ice in her mouth and chewed.

Wow.

Ja-hyeon let out a small exclamation of admiration when he saw that sight.

“You are amazing Miss Seolhwa.”

“It must be comfortable.”

If I had to take one person with me in case I was stranded in the desert I would take Seolhwa without a second thought.

Are wizards comfortable with that kind of thing?

Last time I saw some wizards who could light cigarettes with magic.

Slurp.

While we were talking the monsters’ corpses were sucked beneath the floor of the labyrinth.

“It’s convenient because there’s no need to dispose of the body separately.”

“…Are you a serial killer?”

We immediately started moving forward again.

A labyrinth with no end in sight.

My only compass is my senses.

I’m heading towards the great divine power that I feel inside the labyrinth.

“How much longer do we have to go like this brother? It’s so petty.”

“Usually that’s a flag.”

“yes?”

That clueless guy.

In a place like this it’s the rule to refrain from saying such things.

Maybe it’s because it’s my first time in a dungeon but I’m setting up flags for no reason.

“It’s the mouth that’s the problem the mouth.”

After a while.

【He wants your blood O God-bearer.】

An angel with six wings appeared before us.

I shook my head sighing deeply and spoke to the ‘angel’.

“I’ll break your wings first so we can talk again then. Don’t cry and say it hurts.”

Our Pope please stop this
