Chapter 150

***

The faint light of the Radiant Flames flickered dimly. The precarious flames in the darkness resembled a candle on the verge of extinguishing. As Seo Gangrim gazed at the light, memories of the past spent in this place came flooding back.

[Shin Sooah-ssi, are you really planning to return from here?]

In his previous life, when Seo Gangrim entered the Great Demon Realm. Shin Sooah had formed a party with several other people, including some members of the Flying Tiger Sect. The party members had reached the 99th floor, and in front of the sarcophagus leading to the next floor, Shin Sooah insisted on returning.

[Yes, we're going back.]

[Now the next floor is the 100th! There might be the last boss!]

[We were only supposed to go down until the fourth day, and then return. If there's a boss on the 100th floor, it's suicide to go down now].

At Shin Sooah's words, the others momentarily fell silent, then glanced at Seo Gangrim, whispering among themselves.

[Damn, if it weren't for that guy, we could have gone down...]

By this time, Seo Gangrim was gasping for air, almost dead. The others were also injured, but he, with his low Destiny rank and low stats, was particularly badly wounded.

[Why did that bug bastard follow us all the way here...]

[Clueless bastard. If he knew it was because of him that this situation unfolded...]

Seo Gangrim didn't feel angry or burdened by guilt as he listened. As they said, he had followed them despite knowing the inevitable harm he would cause. He was only thinking about the possibility that someone might die right in front of him, but he kept that to myself. Therefore, he was untouched by their criticism, but strangely, it seemed like Shin Sooah was angrier than he was.

[Do not insult my comrade. If you don't apologize, I will make you do so forcibly.]

A powerful aura emanated from her, startling everyone. During their progression in this Great Demon Realm, others had also come to realize how formidable Shin Sooah truly was.

[I'm sorry, Seo Gangrim-ssi. We apologize.]

[We were in a hurry... I'm sorry. Let's just return immediately.]

In the end, the others gritted their teeth and chose to return. Many of their comrades were injured, making it an inevitable decision.

Nevertheless, as they turned around and headed back to the surface, they couldn't help feeling regretful.

[The 100th floor may have been the last...]

Seo Gangrim had the same thoughts in his past life. Maybe the 100th floor was the end. Approaching the 100th floor's sarcophagus, he faced the familiar question.

[Will you advance or return?]

And for the 100th time, his answer remained the same.

"I'll advance."Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

[You have chosen to move forward.]

The sarcophagus opened with a slight tremor. Below, the path continued downward.

"Wong? Wowong?"

Linnie looked puzzled, confused by the fact that the 100th floor wasn't the end. Yorn wore a similar expression. If Seo Gangrim didn't know where it ended, he would have despaired.

"We don't have much time left. Let's hurry."

With about 60 hours remaining, it was a tight schedule, considering returning. Nevertheless, Seo Gangrim headed towards the deep recesses of the tomb.

101st floor.

102nd floor.

103rd floor...

And on the 107th floor, he opened the sarcophagus.

[You have chosen to move forward.]

A staircase with no visible end welcomed him.

While descending the stairs, he could sense that something was different. The staircase, which would normally have ended, now seemed to stretch endlessly.

The spiral staircase was disorienting.

【Execute the one who desecrated the tomb!】

Voices echoed sharply from all directions. They pounded the ground with their soldierly weapons, and the floor resonated as if an earthquake had occurred.

"Kya-rung!?"

Yorn was bewildered and raised his tail. Linnie, too, was startled and had retreated, hiding behind.

In no time, the Terracotta Soldiers started approaching the trio one by one.

[Name] Terracotta Soldier

[Rank] Spirit Third-class

[Description] Demonic creatures guarding the tomb. Usually dormant like statues, but if the tomb is desecrated, they start breathing and moving.

Each one was a Spirit-class creature. Until just a moment ago, they were lifeless statues, but now they were approaching Seo Gangrim with clear intent.

In response, he raised his sword and stepped forward. The passage leading to the room with the statue was a narrow corridor. Even if there were several hundred or even thousands outside, only a limited number could enter at a time.

At that moment, one of the Terracotta Soldiers rushed towards them.

【Punishment for the one who has disturbed its rest!】

"Linnie! Assist!"

"Woong!"

[Ability 'Harmony of the Five Elements' is activated!]

[Ability 'Frost Flame' is activated!]

-Zzujjeok!

The buffed 'Frost Flame' swept through the corridor in an instant. The Terracotta Soldiers in the narrow space couldn't avoid it, and they were engulfed in flames.

【Si, si, si, punishment...】

They were frozen, but their breaths hadn't been cut off yet. At that moment, a tumultuous noise came from behind the Terracotta Soldiers.

【Punishment for the one who has disturbed its rest!】

-Swift!

One of the Terracotta Soldiers had its neck abruptly cut, and it fell down. The sudden attack seemed to confuse the other creatures. One of the Terracotta Soldiers went berserk, slashing its fellow creatures as if it had gone mad. The other Terracotta Soldiers also seemed to be bewildered by the unexpected betrayal. In the meantime, one of the Terracotta Soldiers managed to defeat two more.

[Ability 'Master of Demon Beasts' is active!]

Seo Gangrim used his ability to control one of them and turned them against their allies. The other demons, belatedly realizing the situation, managed to defeat the defector, but by then, over half a dozen of them were already down.

Once the defector was defeated, they turned their attention back to Seo Gangrim.

【Punishment for the one who has disturbed its rest!】

【Punishment for the one who has disturbed its rest!】

【Punishment for the one who has disturbed its rest!】

Countless demons were still lining up, rushing towards Seo Gangrim, eager to claim his life. Even Yorn and Linnie seemed overwhelmed by their momentum.

Regardless of the terrain advantage, they were at most three against over a hundred on the other side. And even with the 'Master of Demon Beasts,' controlling a high-grade target and issuing commands contrary to its instincts consumed a considerable amount of magic energy. Considering the reset time of this Great Demon Realm, it was better to flee.

Instead of running away, however, Seo Gangrim moved forward and chewed and swallowed the piece of bone he had just picked up from the tomb.

[Ability 'Thieving Rat' is activated!]

In an instant, Seo Gangrim felt a strange force surging throughout his body. His height increased, and his teeth and claws flew toward the Terracotta Soldiers.

-Roaaar!

A beastly cry erupted from Seo Gangrim's mouth. He then stomped on them with every step, and the Terracotta Soldiers crumbled without a chance to retaliate.
