Chapter 183

183. Irregular (4)

The battle with the dark lord did not last that long.

It’s thanks to the tremendous amount of physical strength and mana that he gained from the Bloodthirsty Deep Gong, but...

It was through the command of the demons that he was able to seize this decisive victory.

「The spirit has absorbed the damage inflicted on the user.」

「 The spirit of the vampire

has disappeared.

」

Magic Taoist).

The ability to randomly seal one of the skills as soon as it touches the opponent has been rendered useless by Necromancy.

“Nonsense...! What the hell is that ability! Why is my magic orb disappearing!”

Well, the dark lord was greatly astonished by the protective function of the necromancy, but there was nothing magical about me.

‘All of this can be converted into stats

.

To be honest,

I didn’t completely eat the battle raw either.

But the dark lord just howled because he didn’t know that.

“Aaaaaaa! This fucking bastard—! I will curse! I will take revenge even if I have to give my everything to the demon...!”

Did you think it was impossible to bring victory?

The dark lord desperately vowed revenge and quickly turned around and started running away.

‘Perhaps after running away, I’m fully prepared to try again.’

At first glance, it may seem unsightly, but it’s a surefire way to stall...

There was no way I would allow him to run away without even having a proper moving machine.

Wow!

The dark lord’s movement was sluggish, and I was able to easily subdue him.

“Keuuuuuuuu...”

Well, I could have killed him right away, but I didn’t want to do that right now.

He would be like that too...

“Revenge or whatever is not my business...”

Because there is something to be gained from the dark lord.

“Didn’t you say you stole items from the challengers?”

I smiled and said to the dark lord, who complained of pain with his face distorted.

“Give me all of that.”

Shouldn’t we be rewarded for winning?

***

Fortress city.

This city, which is classified as a full-fledged deep part of the giant tree labyrinth, was developed in many ways.

It’s hard to believe that it’s a city only built by demons in a labyrinth.

Among them, the dark lord’s fortress has the grandeur of a medieval royal castle.

There were facilities that were good enough to be compared to the grandeur of the fort’s exterior.

“So...”

It made sense.

“Most of these castles were built with items stolen from challengers?”

This dark lord with a broken conscience has built a castle with the items of the challengers.

“That’s right...”

The dark lord, who had simply been squeezed into several units, replied with drooping wolf ears.

“As expected, it shows the extreme of wasting resources like a demon.”

At that, I clicked my tongue and slowly inspected the fort, which was dotted with self-interest.

“What a waste of resources!? This castle is equipped with the best functionality that was created even while restoring the construction method of the demon castle that was actually fought...!”

“I didn’t ask and I’m not curious.”

“...”

“So you’re saying you used up most of the items you’ve collected so far to build a castle?”

“You’re right, but I’ll correct one thing. I didn’t do this unnecessarily, I used the supreme technique—”

“Each time I add my personal opinion, the lifespan may decrease a little bit, but is that okay?”

“...sorry. You will be quiet now, so lower your fist now.”

Why do the demons have to raise their fists like this to keep their mouths shut?

‘That’s a very pitiful habit.’

It was a headache in many ways because the cooperativeness (?) did not come back to life until one hit.

“Guide me where the items are in the capital.”

I had no intention of spending a long time collecting rewards.

It was worth it.

Even after subduing him, demons were lurking everywhere in this fortified city.

“I beg you,

please don’t break it...”

Suddenly, I remembered the female demon with wolf ears that I encountered as soon as I first entered the fortress city.

The demons in this fortress city were all demons with sophistry that they were good beings.

‘Because they are kind demons...’

At that time, I was indignant that the only good monsters were dead ones, but now I think I can admit it.

‘Well, if this became good, it must be good.’

The vicious demons are bound to be reformed to those with experience who have reformed (?) even the fallen fairies.

As I was feeling proud of it, I noticed a black iron gate in the place where the fort had collapsed.

‘What is that again?’

It’s in the form of a door attached to the ground as if it leads to the basement...

Gooooh...!

For some reason, thick demonic energy was pouring out of the black iron gate, making it uncomfortable to see.

To the point where I wonder why I didn’t know that such a thing existed until now.

I immediately asked the Dark Lord what it was, and the answer came back.

“...a sanctuary. Inside, there is an altar where you can offer sacrifices to the devil.”

It seems to be a place related to God, but I became interested.

“Is there anything else besides the altar inside?”

“...there is a holy relic. But I can’t come in.”

“okay? Why do you think I can?”

“Wait a minute! fist! Put down your fists! There’s a reason for this! Please listen!” I thought the dark lord would change his mind if he got

hit

once .

There was a reason why the dark lord couldn’t enter it.

“Humans are not allowed to enter the sanctuary, and there is a waiting time for entry.”

“Waiting time for entry?”

“...Once a demon enters there, it cannot enter the sanctuary for a month.”

“Is that why you can’t go in?”

“That’s right...”

“It’s tricky.”

Although there is no Fire Dragon’s eye that can distinguish between truth and lies...

Considering that the dark lord’s eyes and sense of dissimilarity were not felt, the probability of falsehood was faint.

Of course, that didn’t mean that I would believe it straight away that it was the truth.

I looked at the dark lord and said.

“Open it.”

“...yes?”

“Open it to see if there is really a waiting time for entry.”

“...All right.”

Surprisingly, the dark lord followed my instructions without resistance and soon pulled the iron gate attached to the land.

Whoa!

It was so strong that it even made the sound of the iron door being forcibly pulled.

But the iron door did not open.

“...”

“Take a look. It’s not a lie, is it? You can’t go inside...”

“But I’ll open it just in case.”

“No, I can’t do it, but why would you do that...”

Clap...!

「Achieved the Labyrinth Achievement ‘Legend’」

「Acquires labyrinth score +100」

「The total amount of [HP] and [MP] increases by 40.」

The black iron gate is ridiculously easy opened

It’s so simple that I can’t understand why this was a legend-level labyrinth achievement.

“Can it?”

In response, I immediately looked at the dark lord asking for an explanation.

By the way...

“It was a cow! After all, there’s no way a guy like you could be a human! This devil’s son of a bitch—!”

Instead of explaining, he smiled when he saw that he soon began to treat me as a fellow countryman.

“aha!”

I don’t know anything yet...

“I don’t think I can remember why this happened, but don’t worry.”

It was possible to be certain of this.

“If you do, you will remember.”

If you beat the dark lord, you will know the answer.
