Dungeon House chapter 61
The second battle also ended with the victory of the Golden Black Hole Guild. Fortunately, thanks to all the preparations this time, even the wounded did not come out.
After the battle, a girl appeared from somewhere again. and Jill to Richard
asked Water quality or emotion, what do you want to double?
Richard’s answer was another option, armed. The girl smiled and said that the battle would start in two hours. And as an option, he disappeared with the word that he would add an armament.
Two hours later, the third battle began. The third battle was also won without any injuries, thanks to the maintenance of the positions during the break and a proper rest for a little more time.
A girl appeared and asked Richard the same thing again. This time, we proposed resilience as a new option. The girl accepted it, and said that the battle would start again in two hours.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth battles continued, each time Richard offered a different option. The girl accepted all of Richard’s offer.
Fortunately, there was one more rule. It was just break time. The rest time given for each two battles was doubled. Thanks to this, a break of 4 hours was given after the 4th battle and 8 hours after the 6th battle.
Battles and breaks were repeated over and over again.
Even after the seventh and eighth battles were over, new options were presented. However, by the ninth time, a new option that would not go against the girl’s heart could not come to mind. In the end, I had no choice but to choose from the options the girl suggested.
The battle with the sand doll continued.
And finally the twentieth battle was over.
“Ha ha ha ha”
“Ugh!”
“Wow!”
dump! dump! dump!
After the last sand puppet was smashed, all members of the Golden Black Hole guild lay flat on the floor. But for a while, those who could get up started to get up to treat the seriously wounded.
Each time the battle was over and the girl appeared and answered questions, the sand puppets grew stronger.
The slow movement at first was far superior to that of ordinary people, and weapons made of sand were held in their hands and equipped with equipment.
As the regenerative power improved, if it did not break at once, it would constantly recover and attack. As his emotions grew richer, he trembled in fear like a living being before it was about to break, but he also attacked with more anger and hatred.
clap clap!
The faces of the guild members who were treating the wounded were distorted by the sudden sound of applause.
“Not one of them died this time. ruler. Which one will you choose this time? Since it’s the 20th time, would you like to maintain the rest period again this time?”
As the girl said, after the 18th battle, Richard chose to keep a break instead of choosing a double.
After two battles, the rest time was doubled. At the time of having already fought 16 battles, the rest period was 10 days and 16 hours. So instead of doubling something, I offered the option of giving up doubling the rest time, and it was accepted.
However, the girl put a condition on it for the first time. Accepting the break-time maintenance could only be done twice. In fact, this was the last chance I had to use the rest break.
“no. We will choose to reduce the number of people.”
“Reducing staff?”
“We want to cut our number in half. In other words, they want to send half of the personnel back. Of course, is it possible?”
At Richard’s words, all the guild members looked at him in amazement. Certainly no one was already uninjured, and the number of those who were fatally wounded was more than a third.
Although the guild members were still far stronger than the sand puppets, the difference in numbers was a barrier that could not be ignored. In such a situation, reducing the number by half was like giving up the other half.
“What should I do?”
The girl smiled and began to ponder. The gaze of the guild members toward her was mixed with hatred and anger, along with a hint of hope.
If you go like this, everyone will die. They know it well too. So that’s what you expect. I hope that some of them will find a way to survive here.
“great. I’ll save you half. only… …
“In the first place, I have no intention of leaving this place, so there is no need to say it.”
Richard, who knew what the girl was trying to say, stopped in the middle. Although she was a little dissatisfied with the face of the girl who had been in a similar situation before, she smiled again.
“Then let me choose the half of the people you will return to. And I’ll tell you in advance, if you use stupid numbers, something more painful and terrible than death will happen. Then the next battle is 21 days and 8 hours later. see you then.”
The girl disappeared. At the same time, Richard said, looking at everyone.
I remain And Mark, you go back.”
“Guild Master!”
“As the guild master, it is natural for me to remain. ‘Cause I’m in charge And you are the deputy, the sub-master of this guild. so you have to go back Even after I die, our guild must be maintained. At least for our golden black hole, and further for our homeland, the United States of America, and the world.”
“Measures have already been taken in case I die. Don’t leave it behind.”
“… … I knew.”
Mark bowed his head and covered his face.
chae replied After that, Richard looked at the guild members and said.
“I’m sorry for the rest, but I have to decide by lot.”
“Guild Master. i will stay Except for the double guild master, I am the oldest.”
“Then I must stay.”
Among the guild members, the elders volunteered to remain.
“Yah. you go You said you had a baby a while ago.”
“… … Thank you.”
“I will remain. It was the guild master who made me, who was addicted to alcohol, a human.”
Each of the guild members said a word to each other and began to decide for themselves who will remain and who will leave.
However, the four wizards who were hired as mercenaries insisted that they each return. Of course, their gaze on them was not good. As they all went back, it was natural that more guild members had to remain as a result.
But Richard accepted their argument. He could have saved the guild members even more by pushing the number of 120 and disposing of the wizards, but it didn’t.
There was no need to draw lots. The people to return to were decided in an instant, and they attempted to return to the base.
“It does.”
The guild members, including Richard, said it was absurd to be able to return to the base without incident.
Whenever the battle with the sand doll was over, he always tried to return to the base. Of course, there was no connection with the base. But as soon as the negotiation was over, it became possible so simply.
After that, the selected half of the personnel returned to the base one by one through the door. In addition, it was also possible to bring items used for dungeon attack into the dungeon with an open door.
“Thank you for your back, Mark.”
“President.”
“Don’t worry too much. It doesn’t mean that there is no chance of survival.”
Richard smiled at Mark and replied. Mark couldn’t help but lift his head.
“Even if I die, you live and move forward. Survive and fight for the future. You will resent me for saying this, but please.”
“… … Yes.”
After the conversation, Mark went out of the dungeon, and only half of the dungeon explorers, 62, remained in the dungeon.
“ruler! to rest well for the rest of the time. The construction of the camp will be done later.”
The treatment of the remaining dungeon explorers in the dungeon had already been completed. The moment they were connected to the base, the medical staff rushed in and treated them. If the process of returning to the base was not completed, it was also possible to enter briefly. After hearing the current situation, they too felt sorry for the fact that they could not do anything, leaving behind only the medical supplies that could be used in the dungeon.
Richard, who ordered a break, left the camp.
“Guild Master. Where are you going alone?”
“Your body is in danger.”
“It’s dangerous. There are no monsters anyway.”
Richard grinned as he saw the two men following to escort him.
Previously, after the battle was over, during the break time, the surroundings were inspected, and most of the search had already been completed. There is nothing around. Monsters too. All there was was an empty plate covered with sand.
Knowing that fact, the two of them volunteered to escort and came to have a conversation.
“Guild Master. Is there really any hope?”
“When did you see me lie? There is hope. But the possibility is slim.”
“It’s better than no hope at all.”
At Richard’s words, the two smiled deeply. Richard smiled at him and moved on.
At first it moved quickly. Richard, who was moving at an increased speed by using up to mana, stopped at a certain point and started walking slowly.
On the way, Richard strangely shuffled his feet, leaving traces on the floor. In the midst of advancing like that, Richard’s gaze was directed to the back, the soul left behind by his feet.
“found. It’s been a long time.”
As they continued on their way, Richard sighed.
“that’s interesting.”
“This is what the guild master was looking for.”
What the two of them saw was the part where the soul suddenly fell out of the sand. After that, Richard focused on the part where the traces he had made disappeared.
Richard wandered outside the camp independently of the search whenever he was given a break after the battle with the sand puppets. The reason was to find a place where the traces he had made disappeared.
He did not forget Wonhyo and his party, even during the battle and during breaks. It was because he had decided that Wonhyo was alive and must have been quarantined somewhere.
A person who has already been chosen by an existence presumed to be the enemy’s executive level.
Even if that girl is the same executive, if she kills Hyeon-bok, she will be able to pretend to be the one who took the lead.
That’s why Richard continued to wander around looking for a place where Wonhyo and his friends were quarantined. And eventually I was able to find it.
Although he is not as good as Hyeonjoon, Richard is also an excellent wizard. He, too, could see at a glance that a fairly high level of magic was used in the method of isolating Hyeonbok.
After observing the space for a while, Richard went back to the camp, put a bunch of stuff in his bag, and came back to the border of the containment space.
Bombs using mana stone powder and bombs using mana stones.
It was a product that Richard developed with the wizards of the guild. He began to install them one by one in a certain area.
and… … .
puff puff! puff puff! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
They fired them one after another. After that, he re-installed it several times and then it popped.
“Guild Master. You brought this in for use in battle, didn’t you? to install it here.”
“Yes, what we need to survive.”
“If the guild master said that, it would be true, but it’s a waste.”
Mana stone powder and mana stones were definitely cheaper than before, but they were still expensive items. Bombs made of mana stones were even more so. But Richard used such bombs sparingly.
Of course, the amount to be used in battle was left in the camp, so it was something that could be done.
“It’s just my guess, but the monster in that girl’s shape will make us fight until we’re no longer able to form sand puppets. And while this is also speculation, there are probably four or five times remaining.”
Richard said one last time, placing the bomb. The two of them rejoiced inwardly when they heard that they would be able to survive if they only fought five or more battles. But at the next words, his face hardened again.
“But for us now, it will be difficult for us to hold out until then, whatever doubles the sand puppets. To be honest, the next battle will be close, and our defeat will be confirmed in the next battle. Even if the people who returned were still there, he was someone who could only survive there once or twice. True to the word “test”.
“… … That’s why we chose to reduce the number of people instead of maintaining the break time.”
“To save even half of our testimony.”
“And it was to procure these items. It’s a slim possibility, but to get the hope that definitely exists.”
After falling off the bomb, Richard pressed the bomb’s switch.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Kwak kwak kwak
There was an explosion that was incomparable to anything before. However, in the place where the explosions had subsided, nothing happened.
“Let’s go back. Now we’ve done all we can.”
Watching the space unchanging until the end, Richard turned his back and went to the camp.
he didn’t know His efforts were never in vain… … .
