Chapter 333: Final boss? 4

Numerous mummies roared after hearing Ju-Heon's shout. They were roaring so loud that the ground was shaking.

It felt as if elephants were stomping their feet. Their roar shook the underground area before rising up to the higher levels.

Booooooooom!

The first to get shocked was Pandora’s excavation team that just entered the Great Prison.

“Hey, did you just hear something?”

One of the soldiers was shaking.

He had a bad feeling about this sound he could hear every so often.

“I know I heard something.”

His fellow soldiers sneered at him.

“Why don’t you just say that your stomach hurts?”

“What?”

“How the hell are you still in Pandora you damn wuss.”

“No, that’s not it!”

“Shut up! This is a treasure trove! Hurry up and dig!”

“It’s obvious this is a diamond mine that is incomparable to the other tombs!”

Their experiences told them this place was different. They only came in at first because of orders from Pandora's chief executives, but their motivation changed once they stepped into the prison.

“Do you understand? Anything we get from here is a guaranteed promotion.”

“Yes, so stop sounding like a retard and follow me!”

As the veterans excitedly moved forward…

Booooooooom!

Another soldier threw a fit as the tomb shook again.

“H, hey. I don't think this tomb is a great idea! We can still leave!”

"What the fuck are you talking about?! This is a treasure trove!”

“Yeah! We can't let Seo Ju-Heon monopolize this place!”

“If you keep spewing bullshit……!”

It was at that moment.

Booboboboooooooooom!

There was another earthquake. They then heard the roaring. The quiet roars were slowly getting louder. It sounded as if someone was slamming something against a pillar.

All of the soldiers started to get anxious.

"Wait! What is this noise…?!”

“See! I told you! I've been telling you about a weird noise since earlier!”

The soldiers all started screaming.

“Aaah!”

They saw disgusting mummies appearing all around them!

"What the hell?!”

Hundreds of mummy soldiers shot up from the ground! They pulled out their weapons as soon as they saw the humans.

And then!

“Aaaaaaaaahh!”

Terrible screams started to echo from different parts of the prison. That was how Ju-Heon and Anubis's army took down the adventurers(?) who came into the prison.

There were some guards and traps that put Anubis's army in danger but it didn’t matter. Ju-Heon had considered all of those things and summoned more soldiers than usual.

The excavation teams that came into the Great Prison were all crushed.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”

“Save me! Aaaaaaaaahh!”

They could tell. There could only be one person who was the cause of so much screaming.

"Captain-nim……”

“Did he use the Majesty's Key………”

Julian could not hold it in anymore and jumped off the devil he was on.

“Seo Ju-Heon, you little punk!”

“Vice Captain-nim!”

Of course, he had been happy when Anubis's army had appeared. That was proof that Ju-Heon, whom he had thought was dead, was still alive!

However…

“Hey! This isn't it!”

He shouted as soon as he landed on the ground. Ju-Heon's terrible(?) action was one thing, but that was already done.

“How many of them did you call forth?!”

Ju-Heon was calm.

“Mm, I just summoned like 10,000 since there are guards and traps?”

Julian grabbed the back of his neck.

“Hey! I told you not to call forth more than 1,000 at once! Do you know how much strength it takes to maintain Anubis's army?! Do you want to have another out-of-body experience because of the risk?!”

Ju-Heon just sneered at him.

‘It’s only 10,000.’

“Shut up. You're so fucking slow for someone who is supposed to be my pinch hitter.”

“What the hell did you just say?!”

‘I thought something happened to him since he was taking so long.’

Ju-Heon seemed to have been concerned because of where he was right now.

“What about the others?”

“They’re busy for once since your actions called over the guards.”

Ju-Heon laughed.

“Then start moving before I grind up your artifacts too. I need to get that.”

“?”

Julian screamed after he saw something.

“My goodness. Is that a Treasure?”

Julian was shocked after instantly recognizing Chi You. It was obvious even without analyzing it with Kongming's artifact.

“It's obviously an amazing artifact.”

“It is. But I need to do something about the annoying trap in order to get in there.”

“What about the Key of Sloth?”

Ju-Heon lifted up Nero's artifact, the laurel wreath.

“I told the doggies to gather up all the ingredients for awakening it, but……”

A mummy soldier appeared in front of Ju-Heon and Anubis at that moment.

The mummy soldier lowered its head and shouted in a low voice.

[We have captured all of the weaklings that have come into the Great Prison! Shall we bring them to you right away, master?]

“Yes.”

He was smiling like a Demon King.

They then heard all sorts of screams around them.

“Aaah! Our artifacts!”

“Ahhhhh! Where the hell are you dragging us?!”

The soldiers who had come in here full of dreams and hope were foaming at the mouth.

These ugly mummies had suddenly appeared before abducting their artifacts!

The people who were dragged here were people who would rather die than to lose their artifacts.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

There were tens of people who ended up in front of Ju-Heon because of that reason. But there were even larger piles of artifacts!

“…What the hell is this?!”

Their eyes opened wide after looking at the piles of artifacts under their feet.

These were artifacts of the excavation teams from around the world.

“We hit the jackpot!”

They were drooling until they saw something and started shouting.

What did they see?

“You……Seo Ju-Heon!”

It was because Ju-Heon’s eyes were flashing as he sat in front of them.

“Oh. They're humans.”

He would really look like a Demon King welcoming the heroes to his castle if he had horns on his head.

Ju-Heon tilted his head in confusion after seeing them.

“Why are you guys here? I told them to only bring artifacts.”

“W, what?!”

“Ah, ah, they must be parasitic artifacts. My bad.”

Ju-Heon soon chuckled and stood up.

“Well, I’ll go easy on the parasitic ones. Dodge it if you can.”

The people stepped back after seeing his ominous smile.

And then…

“BOMB!”

They heard a loud shout before there was a loud explosion in the trap.

Baaaaang!

It looked as if the artifacts that were piled up like logs by a campfire were instantly blasted away. It was thanks to the bomb artifact he had scattered on the floor.

And then…

‘Artifact Destruction!’

Babababang!

[$#$#&!]

Aigoo, you son of a bitch!

[#$#&!]

I'm going to kill this human bastard!

Pillars of fire shot up and the Pandora excavation teams’ artifacts started to explode.

The ingredients to awaken his treasure were blasting away.

A message popped up in front of Ju-Heon at the same time.

[You have offered blood sacrifices.]

[You have offered blood sacrifices.]

…

[You have offered blood sacrifices.]

[Blood of 1,400 beings has been collected.]

Ju-Heon threw Nero's laurel wreath once he saw that message.

The laurel wreath started to glow where the artifacts had exploded.

[The artifact of Sloth is awakening.]

At the same time…

“Aaaaaaaaaak!”

It had been 20 minutes since the excavation teams had been sent inside. The Generals and Knights of the Round Table waiting for news outside couldn't help but be surprised.

“It looks like something must have happened inside!”

“What? What kind of thing?!”

“Look over there! What is that light visible in there?!”

"What an amazing aura!”

Someone frowned and rushed into the tomb.

“Loki-nim!”

It was the Knight of the Round Table who used Loki’s artifact.

He rushed in with Prometheus's power.

He originally had no plans to go in himself since he didn't know what it was like in there, but…

‘We can’t let that bastard Seo Ju-Heon earn the Majesty's Treasure!’

[The artifact of Sloth is awakening.]

The area was full of balls of energy that were released as the artifact's cores detonated.

Nero's artifact finally flashed after gobbling up a good amount of the energy.

[The Key of Sloth is fusing with the Majesty's Key.]

A flashing strand of light seeped into Ju-Heon's ring.

Of course, Nero was clicking his tongue after being awakened by the blood of its fellow artifacts.

[Look at this worst tyrant ever under the heavens. This bastard is going to kill all of his subjects.]

“I don't think you are one who can say that.”

Jaeha sighed while looking at the artifacts that had exploded.

“Aigoo, what a shame, what a shame. It’s so sad since there were a lot of high-grade artifacts in there. The Captain-nim really is too much. I know there was no other way…but still…”

Ju-Heon nonchalantly responded to Jaeha.

“Then why don’t you fix them?”

Jaeha flinched.

“……Umm… Have you ever seen an ore used for fortification being restored?”

“Yeah. You're saying it is easy for you, right?”

“No, wait… Even I would need at least a year with each artifact when their cores have completely turned to dust……”

“Then just go scatter their remains in a mountain or ocean.”

“You’d kill me if I really scattered the remains!”

Jaeha started to cry.

Ju-Heon seemed to have no regrets about it but the restorer sniffled as he gathered the scattered remains of the artifacts.

Ju-Heon was about to head to Chi You's tomb now.

Shhh!

That problematic fog that had annoyed them since their past life… The Fog of Disappearance, the fog that had dissected Ilya down to his molecules, viciously started to move toward them.

The Great Prison was reacting after noticing Ju-Heon's monstrous actions. To be more specific, it was the guards protecting the tomb that reacted!

They then heard some unfamiliar voices.

“The fog is on our side! Hurry up and capture those bastards!”

Some unwanted guests had appeared in front of Ju-Heon. There were Knights of the Round Table mixed in with Pandora’s excavation team members that Ju-Heon had dragged into the prison.

Julian started to frown.

‘Loki’s artifact.’

That bastard was surprisingly ordering the nearby guards around. This guy would be no joke.

The bastard looked at Ju-Heon and started to laugh.

“Your mistake was letting us in. Okay! What are you doing?! Hurry up and grab the Treasure over there!”

The other soldiers started to rush into the trap.

The murderous fog became thicker as well.

“It's that fog again!”

That fog avoided the enemies and only aimed for Ju-Heon’s people.

But at that moment…

“You dumbass. You should have been here earlier if you wanted that!”

He sneered and a strong aura burst out.

[The Door of Loss is opening.]

Nero was the King of Sloth who had forgotten his duty. The Key of Sloth's unique ability had activated.

Something shocking happened.

Booboboboooooooooom!

The fog that had been squirming inside the tomb stopped moving.

‘!’

[‘The power of loss is reaching out.]

[It is starting to make the foundation of the trap lose its abilities.]

Ju-Heon instantly headed toward Chi You after making the fog stop.

And then…

“Alright, come with me!”

Ju-Heon used the Majesty's Key to open Chi You's cell!

Bang!

“!”

Loki’s artifact user’s eyes opened wide.

The trap that they were in suddenly started to shake like crazy.

He suddenly got chills down his back.

Loki’s artifact user shouted after noticing the ominous signs.

“Retreat for now! Everybody get out of the prison…!”

He then felt as if he saw a frightening face inside Chi You's cell.

“!”

Someone was stepping out of it. It was the Majesty who was wearing the Goblin's Helmet.
