439 Basement Branch (2)

* * *

The seal of the Ruspel Empire and the seal of the Kingdom of Lotus were very similar.

The only reason for that is because they are both seals modeled after Griffin.

Even Ian's ‘fin’ was Griffin's baby, a former model of the Ruspel Imperial Seal.

Then he had to resemble her.

Immediately after confirming the armor of the first man, Ian was embarrassed.

It was because he immediately mistook the NPC of the Lotus Kingdom for a picture of Griffin engraved on a man's colorful armor.

But after checking the levels that were floating above his head, I immediately realized that it wasn't.

‘There can't be 500 levels in our kingdom. Then he's most likely the NPC of Ruspel Kingdom... ’

Lugaryx or Camille.

A pure white knight with a level equal to the Rich King Charleon.

Ian had no choice but to wonder who he was.

Apart from Helheim, did I have a knight in the Ruspel Empire? ’

After the sudden appearance of Roosevelt's knight, for a short period of time, Ian's mind was filled with 50,000 thoughts.

But at that moment, 'he’ began to move.

Blame-!

It was an unbelievable quick move to wear heavy body armor.

The man protrudes out of nowhere, swinging his sword, and an absurd situation ensues.

Boom-boom-!

His assault; once upon a time, the lives of the Dead Knights were shattered.

But I didn't have time to be surprised.

Ian quickly regained his senses and began to move the party.

“Levia, Buff, get your butt in there! ”

“Got it!”

“Sister and Hun, follow that knight to the target and assist him in the deal. Follow me on the message! ”

“Okay!”

“Great!”

Ian gives a swift command, controlling the summoners and moving toward Rosen.

In order for Rosen's leadership to lose power, he must dizzy his hands and feet as much as possible.

It would not have been easy for the other Desknights to get rid of Rosen, but the purpose was not to.

‘You can wait with your metallurgical life force removed. ’

Once we've tied up as many Desknights as we can, that ignorantly powerful NPC will cut them down one by one.

It was a bit unfortunate that I didn't care about Makta, but for now, breaking through this dungeon quickly was more important.

Due to the appearance of only one NPC, the atmosphere of the battlefield has been completely reversed.

Desknight Rosen bursts into furious voices.

“Who are you? How dare you step into Sharian's realm! ”

It's almost like Rosen's ambassador when I first met Ian's group.

So Ian blurted out the lines, but he couldn't do it after that.

It was because a questionable NPC responded.

And that line, it was very meaningful.

“Stupid fool, surrendering to the power of darkness and ignoring you. ”

“ ……! ”

“I can no longer stand by to dishonor the Imperial Knights! ”

On the other hand, the man strikes Rosen with his sword and reaches forward.

And at that moment, something amazing happened.

The Great Sword stirs the air as if it were alive, slaughtering the Deathknights.

Kwam - Kwaaang -!

It was a remarkable sword that would come out of nowhere.

Ian's gaze was taken from him, not during the battle, and he was amazed with a wide mouth.

‘Mi, you're crazy. What the hell is that? ’

But that's not where the surprise ended.

Unlike the Great Sword that unleashes brute force in the air, the man draws an additional pair of swords.

Shhh!

A sword of two sacks, crossed on the back of a man.

It wasn't even a common sword to use as a dual sword.

A pair of colossal, ignorant swords, no different from the one I had first drawn.

It was certainly not Ian who was surprised.

Hun, who was casting magic to support the man, muttered without my knowledge.

“Does that make sense? ”

A mysterious NPC that wields three swords simultaneously and eliminates the Desknights in an instant.

Ian's group, who were momentarily embarrassed, quickly resumes the battle, and the Desknights are eliminated in an instant.

“Khh, khh! ”

Desknight Rosen grips his teeth in grudge and stares at the mysterious man.

The battle that seemed to take hours was an amazing sight that ended in just 5 minutes.

“What a shame to be in the dark. ”

He mutters an unknown ambassador, swinging his sword back at Rosen.

But it was more of a slap move than a slap move.

Yeah!

He smashed Rosen's back head with a heavy blade.

“Cough!”

Rosen, who had already almost no life force, collapsed in that single blow.

- Desknight Rosen has fallen into incapacitation.

- The pathway to the fourth floor of the pituitary is open.

Whoo-hoo!

The resonance echoes and the dark barrier between Ian and his group is lifted.

But none of Ian's parties moved.

No, I couldn't move.

Until we identify this unknown monster, we can't move forward.

Though, of course, it seemed to be friendly.

Hook-!

The man throws his sword into the air, holding it in both hands.

Then, three large swords floating in the air flew in at the same time and stabbed him with a sword on his back.

Chuck it. Chuck it.

And Ian, who confirmed his appearance, murmured in his heart.

‘You do all the cool stuff yourself. ’

But unlike Ian, who was frustrated, there was also a man with gorgeous eyes.

He was the hoon.

“Khh...! ”

Suddenly, Hun, who was opposed to the ‘Kanji’ of the appearing knight, walked out toward him.

“I am the Lord of Darkness. Lord of the dead. I want to know your name. ”

At the end of Hun's dialogue, the man's dagger plucked out again.

“Is there anyone left to beat? ”

Hun instinctively struck his hand in contemplation.

“Whoa, whoa. I'm not.”

“I feel the dark energy.... ”

“I, I…… am the righteous darkness that intends to kill the rich king! ”

And the party members watching the two of them shudder their heads.

“Phew, Hun said it's quiet these days.... ”

“But it's been fun for a long time. ”

“ ……. ”

However, the mysterious man who was talking with Hun suddenly turned his gaze to Ian.

Then Hun urgently opened his mouth again.

“Now, hold on! Tell me your name and I'll go! ”

However, he slowly approached Ian, as if he had no interest in Hun.

Ian, who was embarrassed by him, swallowed dry water without knowing it.

Gulp.

Then he approached Ian and slowly opened his mouth.

“You must be Ian. ”

“ ……? ”

Ian suddenly looked embarrassed.

Do you know me? ’

The man's words continued again.

And that meant there was enough to surprise everyone.

“Greetings, progeny. ”

* * *

The greatest knight in the history of the Ruspel Empire.

A great human hero, who restrained the former reichking's ambition and sealed him in the Magic Cube.

The identity of this article with tremendous power, even compared to Captain Camirez, was nothing short of "Muran."

“Muran? How did you get here.... ”

But Ian couldn't understand.

Muran's been gone for over a thousand years. He really is an ancient man.

But this man, who claimed to be Muran, was even a straight face without wrinkles.

Almost the same age as Ian, only in his 20s.

In Ian's question, Muran opens his mouth slowly.

“I am here now, but also not here. ”

“ ……? ”

Ian, who almost said what nonsense that was, swallowed the horse and waited for Muran's next words.

“Through the relief we have given you in the past, we have only made a brief transition to help you. ”

And as soon as Ian heard this, he remembered one thing.

"Yes, Muran's toast! I thought you were saying...... ’

At the beginning of the episode of Richking, Ian had seen a system message related to the safe house of Muran.

I was busy running for a while, but I felt overwhelmed when I didn't think about it.

Meanwhile, Ian's party members were extremely jealous.

“What, did he do another quest...? ”

“Wow, how the hell did you get an NPC 1,000 years ago? ”

“I mean……. ”

Ian can hardly bear the thought of tearing his mouth, and opened his mouth again to Muran.

“You're here to help me? ”

“Yes.”

“Are you trying to beat up Rich King together...? ”

Ian looked forward to it.

But the answer back from Muran, unfortunately, was beyond Ian's expectations.

“No, that's not it. You can only stay here for a day using the power of the Reverse Heaven. ”

“Phew……. ”

“Killing the rich king in it is impossible for me as well. ”

“Of course.... ”

The combat strength that Muran showed was tremendous.

But even so, there were too many walls left to reach the Reaching King.

“Then how are you going to help? ”

Ian's questions were followed, and the gaze of all the parties was fixed on Muran.

I wondered what his answer would be.

Either way, helping Ian was more likely to help the whole party.

But again, Muran's answer was to exceed everyone's expectations.

“I will give you everything I have for the day I am given. ”

And as soon as I finished saying that, I remembered the unexpected quest window in Ian's eyes.

- Tyring!

- Hero, Muran's Blessing (Hidden)

Muran, the great hero of the human race.

He resisted the former ambition of the rich king, succeeded in sealing the rich king on the horse system, but that did not reassure him.

He did not completely exterminate him, so he thought he would someday be resurrected and reveal his ambition.

So he made a condolence for it.

And you, who have acquired the crystal of Muran, are descendants and condolences of the hero Muran.

Now that the Rising King has risen to raise an army of darkness, the hero Muran appears to help you beyond the long wall of time.

He wants you to make progress.

And if you agree, I'm willing to give you everything you've got.

Now you have to choose.

If you want Muran's power, you must accept his offer, and if you want to continue on your path as a Taming Master, you must refuse.

Quest Difficulty: None

Quest conditions: A person who transferred using 'Muran's Crystal’.

Timeout: None.

Reward: 4 Tier Hidden Class' Summer Knight '

Ian, who had read the entire quest, was utterly depressed.
