The Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices

Chapter 60

EP.60 As the Master Wills

Before Lee Kang-hyun and Maru arrived at the scene,

The emergency response team hunters were still confronting monsters.

A critical situation where monsters emerged from the dungeon, threatening human civilization.

Despite their deployment to resolve this, the situation did not improve at all.

Instead, they discovered the presence of two A-class monsters.

Tsk.

Team leader Han Jung-cheol bit his lips as if irritated.

Ive been thinking wrong from the beginning.

Ghouls, Incubus, and Death Knight were expected, but Arc Lich were unexpected.

How could there be two formidable A-class monsters even when dealing with just one is too much?

Probably, no one could have expected that.

The biggest loss here was losing the Vice team leader.

Charging without accurately assessing the opponents strength turned into a failure.

And then, the terror of the opponents monsters revealed itself here.

The undead transformation of the slain.

The Death Knight turns the opponent into a ghoul.

Similarly, the Arc Lich raises a skeleton from the corpse.

In theory, the opponent could endlessly produce monsters.

Of course, we went out to stop their advance, but now it was meaningless.

The Vice team leader who charged forward also became a skeleton.

The ironic situation of a hunter who was loyal to the country now trying to destroy it.

Han Jung-cheol slowly scanned his team members.

The morale that had risen just a while ago plummeted again.

No one moved from their positions due to the death of the Vice team leader.

Despair and fear filled their faces.

The emergency response team, praised for its strength, was now too accustomed to the long-lasting peace.

They lacked the ability to suppress the current monster wave.

At this point, even staying and fighting against them was suicidal.

At that moment, when they were considering temporarily retreating and joining forces with support units.

Bang!

Suddenly, a beam of light shot towards the monsters.

?!

Naturally, the Death Knight raised a strange shield for defense,

The light!

The light was blocked by the shield and spread to the surroundings.

The spreading light finally delivered a decisive blow.

Part of the surroundings began to melt away, excluding the ghouls, other monsters conveyed the impact.

Nevertheless, a crack appeared in the fortress-like monster formation.

Strong.

And beautiful.

The hunters here were thinking that.

Han Jung-cheols gaze followed the direction where the light had just shone.

Dozens of hunters, armed and ready, were walking towards this place from behind.

Distinctive white-designed armor.

It was the Sacred Guild.

At the forefront, a man leading them came into view.

It was evident who had just launched the attack.

Kim Soo-Ho

Affiliated with the newly formed guild and simultaneously an A-class hunter like Han Jung-cheol, but his level was vastly different.

Kim Soo-Ho was already a talent who had traveled to the El Dorad Continent.

Not only that,

He claimed to have been knighted there as well.

Even though Han Jung-cheol, who had never been to that place, didnt know how remarkable that achievement was.

Thanks to that, Kim Soo-Ho now held the title of a holy knight.

Despite his outward image,

Huh, you cant even handle this one thing. The title Emergency Response Team is a waste.

It was already known that Kim Soo-Hos personality was rough.

Due to the nature of the emergency response team, even if they didnt deploy to the field, they interacted with various guilds.

Han Jung-cheol knew this well from meeting Kim Soo-Ho several times through these interactions.

After leaving the already-established guild, you came to a place like this?

And of course,

Kim Soo-Hos tone was arrogant and challenging.

From his gaze alone, it was clear that he was dissatisfied with his opponent.

Kim Soo-Ho rudely confronted Lee Mi-rae, who was waiting behind him.

Sigh

Han Jung-cheol was troubled by the current situation.

Kim Soo-Ho had always been like this.

People who didnt know him well admired the name Kim Soo-Ho, but his current appearance was the real deal.

However, the situation was urgent now.

Even though the previous impression wasnt great, they needed to join forces to resolve the crisis.

They already had a rough idea of the opponents strength.

Moreover, the newly formed guild primarily utilized the Divine power, an attribute of light.

If they could use the power of the Sacred Guild along with their abilities, they could quickly subdue the monster wave.

Cooperation was crucial.

Despite Kim Soo-Hos rudeness, Han Jung-cheol silently extended his hand.

It was a sign of requesting cooperation, but the opponent just sneered.

Fine. Whats the use of those who cant even handle this? Just stand back and watch since well take care of it ourselves.

Kim Soo-Ho, being in a formal setting, didnt use informal language.

But there was disdain in his words.

At the same time, he belittled the hunters of the emergency response team.

.

Han Jung-cheol also had nothing to say.

Whatever he said here wouldnt matter to Kim Soo-Ho and his group.

There was a high chance that the Sacred Guild would follow Kim Soo-Ho rather than listen to his words.

But now, it was a dangerous situation.

At least, he didnt want the power of the Sacred Guild to be depleted, so Han Jung-cheol said one thing.

Dont let your guard down and be careful of the Arc Lich.

He said it with as much courtesy as possible, but Kim Soo-Ho ignored them and passed by.

Han Jung-cheol didnt bother to stop them.

They would realize it soon enough.

That their opponent was a different being from the monsters they had faced so far.

Despite being the worst monster wave, ironically, the overall damage situation was minimal.

Though they didnt know what those monsters were aiming for, there was still hope.

Thats why they decided to do their best with what they could now.

Be careful not to let the damage spread to the surroundings!

At the team leaders command, the emergency response team hunters started moving again.

.

Kim Soo-Ho was moving forward silently.

Death Knight and Arc Lich

On the opposite side, the appearance of monsters was obvious.

While they knew about the Death Knight, the power of the Arc Lich was unexpected.

Now, everyone was aware of the report from the emergency response team that had been deployed earlier.

It meant that the worst-case scenario had unfolded.

But there was no need to worry.

After all, they are the best.

The guild that applied for the title of number one in South Korea.

Even the hunters they brought with them had all decided.

Moreover, the opponents were undead.

This meant they were leading, above all, Kim Soo-Ho himself was here.

This is nothing.

Kim Soo-Ho briefly reminisced about the past.

He had walked the elite course until now.

He had never missed being the top at the Hunter Academy.

In the end, he graduated as the top student and traveled to the El Dorad Continent.

His true worth showed in the El Dorad Continent.

He entered the White Order and accomplished various feats there.

Thanks to that, he received the title of a holy knight along with a mass-produced holy sword used by the holy knights in the White Order.

This much was known publicly.

Of course, during this process, Kim Soo-Ho faced many monsters.

Especially, the monsters on the El Dorad Continent were different level from those on Earth.

The monsters in front of us are nothing more than parasites from the Earth!

Therefore, Kim Soo-Ho was not afraid at all.

If he, who had strengthened himself while rolling around in El Dorad, couldnt handle this, who could?

Kim Soo-Ho slowly drew the sword at his waist.

Ill show you.

It wasnt a genuine scripture of the holy nature, but even this alone shone brightly.

The Divine Power!

Kim Soo-Hos sword completely emerged from its sheath.

My power!

Simultaneously, he moved forward.

Swish

The light emitted towards the monsters with a fierce sound.

Thud

The result was a hit.

However.

!

This time too, the attack was blocked by the Death Knights shield.

But Kim Soo-Ho wasnt flustered.

Continuing to attack, he emitted light.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Each time, the Death Knight blocked Kim Soo-Hos attacks with the shield.

Even though he continued to block the light, the surrounding ghouls were gradually collapsing due to the aftermath.

But Kim Soo-Ho wasnt satisfied with that.

Kruuk!

Kim Soo-Ho distorted his expression.

The number of ghouls was decreasing, but the Death Knight continued to resist.

Why were all his attacks being completely blocked?

Kim Soo-Ho carefully examined the Death Knight.

Maid outfit.

There was no information heard about this before.

No, before that, why did he tie a maid outfit to his shield?

It was a strange combination.

Maybe.

Is there something on that outfit?

Otherwise, it didnt make sense why his attacks were consistently blocked.

If thats the case, wouldnt it be enough to just avoid that shield?

Thinking like that, Kim Soo-Ho gave the order to attack to his guild members.

Attack simultaneously!

All the hunters from the Sacred Guild at the back began attacking the monsters.

And Kim Soo-Ho also gathered strength to the maximum.

I have to finish it in one strike!

The Death Knight was swinging the shield back and forth, defending against the simultaneous attacks of the hunters.

He was unable to focus due to attacks coming from various directions.

Nows the time!

When the opponent wasnt paying attention, Kim Soo-Ho swung his sword.

The radiant light from his sword was even brighter and larger than before.

Its done!

The light Kim Soo-Ho shot soared accurately through the gap in the Death Knights defense.

Boom

Simultaneously, a tremendous sound rang out, shaking the ground.

Smoke spread thickly, obscuring everyones vision.

The hunters from the emergency response team were dumbfounded by the spectacle, and the hunters from the Sacred Guild were already in a festive atmosphere.

There was a significant difference between having one A-class monster and having two.

With the recent attack, the Death Knight was likely subjugated, so now they just had to deal with the Arc Lich.

After a while, the dense smoke began to disperse.

Now the opponent looked pitiful enough to be called a monster wave.

However.

What!

Even those who werent easily surprised were shocked at this moment.

..!

Kim Soo-Ho was the same.

Certainly, the attack just now was an attack that exerted all the power he could muster.

He believed that he would be able to eliminate the Death Knight, but the situation unfolded completely differently.

Oh, my. Youre quite forceful, arent you?

Kim Soo-Hos attack against the Death Knight was effortlessly blocked by the appearance that appeared in front of the Death Knight.

It was blocked even by the outstretched hand of the opponent.

W-Who are you!

This time, Kim Soo-Ho was also bewildered.

The opponent didnt look ordinary at first glance.

Despite having an extraordinary appearance and charm, the horns protruding from her head represented her as a unique existence.

He tightened his grip on the sword, but the opponent showed her back.

Tsk.

Kim Soo-Ho tasted humiliation.

How much did she disdain him to blatantly show her back like this?

At the moment when he tried to swing the sword to retaliate against the one who openly ignored and disrespected him.

Sir Death Knight and Sir Arc Lich, please come to me after this incident is over.

The voice of the unknown figure echoed.

For some reason, the monsters beside her began to tremble.

The Incubus at the forefront even bowed his face to the ground.

Even the A-class monsters, Death Knight and Arc Lich, started to cautiously step back while glancing at her.

In the process, Arc Lich seemed to be writing something diligently, but that was probably good.

What is this?

Kim Soo-Ho was bewildered.

Monsters that seemed powerful were suddenly trembling at her words.

What kind of existence was she to make those monsters tremble like that?

No way.

Suddenly, one possibility came to Kim Soo-Hos mind, and he shouted towards her.

Are you the master of this dungeon!

However, as if she heard something she shouldnt, she put her finger near her lips.

It was a signal to be quiet.

====

In the tense situation where the attack was directed towards Death Knight, Celia appeared.

She extended her right hand straight out, nullifying the opponents attack.

The light dispersed powerlessly.

It was an attack where all his power was poured in, but it was easily blocked by Celias hand.

In fact, it was more accurate to say that she took full damage.

Oh my. Youre quite forceful, arent you?

Celia looked at her hand.

Her hand had turned slightly red from the recent attack.

As there was a considerable gap between her and the opponent, this much was expected. If the current attack had hit Death Knight head-on, it would have been quite a significant blow.

She looked around and opened her mouth.

Sir Death Knight and Sir Arc Lich, please come to me after this incident is over.

Simultaneously, she also spoke towards Azmo.

Sir Azmo I will let it go this time.

Celia, who was the dungeons overall manager and assigned the role of maintaining discpline by Master, announced her judgment. Upon hearing her sentence, the reactions sharply contrasted.

Azmo prostrated himself towards Celia and conveyed his gratitude.

In fact, Azmo just wanted to show loyalty to Master. As such, Celia decided to give him a chance.

However, it wasnt the same for Death Knight and Arc Lich.

Death Knight began to tremble at her words.

Arc Lich, who was beside him, didnt forget to record as an inspector even amid this situation.

[The great manager Celia personally descended, and the humans were horrified while the Incubus bowed his head and Death Knight trembled. Truly magnificent.]

Recording like that, while gradually stepping back at that moment.

There was a presence felt from behind.

Clang

Death Knight immediately raised his shield to respond.

Arc Lich saw it.

The figure of the opponent who attacked Death Knight.

And the opponent noticed that the opponent had a similar aura to them.

It was a bit early, it seemed.

Why were they attacking someone on the same side?

Arc Lich spoke with curiosity, and he didnt forget to record it.

But the opponents words were completely different.

Its an order from Master.

At this statement, Arc Lich was surprised.

An order from the master!

Now that he thought about it, he faintly felt the masters aura far away.

Arc Lich immediately revised the content he wrote.

[Listens very well to the words of the great and noble Master. This is a commendable reason.]

Of course, he wrote it like this, but why did Master give such an order now? It couldnt be understood.

While pondering about Masters intention, Vetter popped up next to him.

Vetter, who was appointed as an assistant to Azmo, who manages the dungeon. He was a slime but also a genius in transformation. Even now, he had the appearance of a human, not a slime, and he moved his mouth to speak with precise pronunciation.

Ah! Master is trying to take advantage of the current situation!

What did that mean?

How does one take advantage of the current situation?

Everyone harbored doubts.

Celia, who was in front, also leaned in to listen when Vetter mentioned Master.

In other words!

Vetter started explaining with a firm tone.

1. Currently, Master wants to dominate this world.

2. However, dominance by force alone cannot garner true loyalty.

3. Therefore, Master is staging a scene of directly saving the world, receiving everyones admiration.

4. Swallowing up the world.

Vetter had spent a long time in the research institute.

Even though it was called a research institute, it wasnt a place where research was conducted peacefully.

Researchers divided themselves into factions, and it was a place overflowing with intrigue and power struggles.

Naturally, Vetter was able to learn about those things. And now, it seemed that Master also had a great purpose.

So, Vetter confidently explained.

Oh.

Azmo, who was prostrated, responded first to Vetters explanation.

It seems like a natural pursuit of beauty!

As someone who believed that forcing loyalty was not beautiful, Azmo admired Masters insight.

Indeed, Master truly understood the essence of beauty.

Celia also nodded her head.

Indeed. This lowly servant also finally understands Masters thoughts.

She now understood why Master sent her here.

Death Knight and Arc Lich also nodded their heads.

Death Knight immediately looked ahead at his owner, and there, Maru was present.

Nod.

Death Knight nodded his head towards Maru.

Although it was the first time Maru heard that sound, upon careful thought, it seemed to be the right words.

Now, there was only one thing left.

To act according to Masters will in all of this.

When Marus sword touched Death Knights shield, Death Knight flew backward.

It was an enormous force.

As if acknowledging that Arc Lich couldnt compete with this, he leaped toward Maru.

Marus sword pierced through Arc Lichs body.

Of course, since the sword passed through the bones of Arc Lich, it didnt bother him at all.

However, Arc Lich reached out to the sky.

Argh...

As if in misery.

Even more desperately.

Sadly, the hand that reached toward the sky fell to the ground.

Thats how Arc Lich remained motionless.

At the same time, the hunters from the emergency response team and the hunters from the Sacred Guild, who were watching the scene, were astonished.

In their eyes, an unidentified figure suddenly appeared, not only subduing the monsters but also Arc Lich.

Han Jung-cheol and, of course, Kim Soo-Ho were blinking their eyes in the current situation.
