Dungeon House chapter 65

“But in the end, I couldn’t figure out how to make a barrier.”

We reached Circle 5, but for now, there was nothing we could do about the barrier that imprisoned us. Because the barrier was created by a level of magic that was still far higher than the level where I set my feet anew. On the contrary, thanks to the advancement of the country, I became more aware of the gap, and the feeling of despair grew even greater.

But suddenly, the barrier shook slightly, and a mana wave was felt. That too from the outside.

As I learned later, it was a mana surge caused by Richard detonating a mana stone bomb near the barrier.

Thanks to the mana wave, I was able to recognize external coordinates. However, it was only a perception. There was nothing else I could do.

Just then, she spoke.

A bitch who can’t do anything by herself does another unfortunate thing. I do not like it. I’ll show you how to get out, so go and disturb that bitch.

The Catastrophe Demon Dragon, Gloria’s words were a kind of sentence, a command, rather than a conversation.

The method she taught me was very difficult even for me today, close to gambling.

Four things are needed.

A powerful mana attack, external coordinates, and a magician of the 6th circle, finally, it was the talent of my ministry.

The method was as simple as it sounds. Maximizes the powerful mana attack of the beings who ministered with the talent of ministry. And sends the attack of a working being to an external coordinate.

It was amazing, but all the conditions were in place.

I have a talent for ministry, and I had a Nidhogg who could use a powerful mana attack and negative breath.

At this time, in order to do it, you must be able to temporarily use the 7 circle space magic teleport. It’s not because you’re moving yourself, it’s because you’re moving something other than yourself.

There was a shortcut that I became able to use by ministering to myself.

You can use your ministry talents to strengthen your ministry. Not him, but in a crowd, you can go beyond the limit. That’s what I do to myself.

You just reached the level of 5th circle, so if you overdo it, you can use 6th circle magic. And if you go beyond the group and even exceed the limit, you can temporarily use up to 7 circle magic.

Of course, it’s natural, but you can’t go over the limit without paying anything. But I didn’t have a choice. I had to meet the conditions, and I had to do it.

I have pushed the limits of myself and Nee Dhogg with my ministry talent. And he blew the negative breath written by Nidhogg to the external coordinates he knew as a mana wave.

As a result, the barrier collapsed in an instant in the aftermath of an intense energy flow that broke through the space between the coordinates. We did not miss that moment and came out of the barrier.

Now, when I look back, I can say, ‘I can simply say I did it, but it was by no means easy.

Neither Nidhogg nor I were able to move due to forcibly exceeding the limit. I was able to feel with my whole body what the side effects of exceeding the limit were once again. Along with the pain as if the foundation of existence had been broken, a feeling of lethargy, as if it could no longer return to its original state, weighed on her whole body.

But after a while, I was able to move again.

[Hahaha! It really works! I thought it would fail. Hahaha. I saw something good, so I’ll give you special treatment. Because I won’t be able to do what I was told to do.]

It was thanks to Gloria who treated me and Nid Hog with this wheat. The body, which had not been able to move properly, recovered in an instant. Surprised by his absurd power, he didn’t say anything, but Gloria, who was impatient, kept on urging me, so I had to move in haste again.

And finally, Richard was rescued and the monster returned.

“I thought I would be able to live safely and comfortably as I got stronger.”

[It is true that if you have power, you will be safe and live comfortably. Because the weak without strength can’t even resist and lose everything while being trampled on.]

As I was organizing my thoughts, Chris said firmly in my self-talk. I also took a deep breath and nodded.

“okay. right. I know that too. But in reality, it’s honestly difficult to meet stronger enemies and build up hostile relationships.”

[As I said clearly, the stronger the master, the stronger the enemy. However, if you stand still, in the end, the only thing you will face is death. You wouldn’t like it. So get stronger. Keep getting stronger. More than anyone else. Then you can achieve what you want.]

“okay. Obviously it is. If you don’t, you’ll just die.”

I never want to die. I never want to die. Because I don’t want to feel the despair and fear I experienced in the first dungeon again.

With that in mind, I started to organize my enlightenment again.

[Kya.] Ah!! Gloria!!]

The monster, usually in the form of a girl, was lying on the floor in pain. Most of what was already in her room had been destroyed and nothing was intact.

“You look good for a commander without subordinates. It rolls on the floor like a bug and glows like a beast.”

[Gloria-!]

Boo-woong! Quazy!

The monster swung its huge arm at once.

Horns and wings suddenly appeared. And one with reptilian arms and legs.

Catastrophe Demon Dragon, Gloria attacked, but was blocked by an invisible wall.

[Four years! Lizard Year! You broke the rules! Can’t I just get past this?!]

“Am I breaking the rules? what nonsense Did you lose your mind after getting hurt in your body?”

[I don’t know?! You must have used your power in the dungeon!]

“okay. I did it. But I used my powers to reward the guy I wanted for doing something he couldn’t normally do. It’s a pity to die as it is. you should know I mean, it’s not against the rules.”

[Profit!]

Gloria just smiled. As she said, it was an intervention that didn’t break the rules.

The right to watch over the elect was given to the elect, and they were allowed to intervene during the watch if the subject did a decent job or if it was too late to die.

The monster called ‘the commander without subordinates’, the king of a country without people, was the one who could not say anything more, and would pour out his life and hostility towards Gloria.

and.”

Suddenly, Gloria’s mood changed. Even more ferocious than a monster, a huge presence emanated from Gloria. The monster had no choice but to be crushed by Gloria’s presence.

“How dare you call this body a lizard. The liver that doesn’t even exist is greatly swollen. bug.”

[Ugh… …

Obviously, both are of the same level of executives. a person of equal status. But only the position is the same. The existence given at birth, the size, and the power are different.

Those who have been positioned at the highest level as a race from birth, and those who are not. There was a huge gap between the two. Because of the difference in power due to the gap, the monster unilaterally hated and envied Gloria.

For Gloria, it was just a trivial existence.

“But I’m in a good mood today, so don’t let me live.”

[…] … ha. ha. ha.]

“So, knowing the subject, I crawl on the floor as well as before. Hahaha!”

Having said that, Gloria disappeared.

[Gloria… … !]

The monster, whose pride had suffered even greater wounds, ran wild again.

[kill! I will kill you! four years! The human you chose for your years! I’ll kill them all!]

With jealousy, anger and hatred, the monster cried out. And he swore that one day he would let Gloria taste the humiliation she had suffered.

And he was a monster who vowed to kill Hyeon-bok, the person who caused him to go through the same thing as now.

How does it feel to walk around Washington DC today? It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”

“Yes. It was pretty good. As a tourist destination.”

“Hahaha. It is, too.”

A week after being escorted to the private room, Richard left the bed and appeared. One thing he did as soon as he came out was to take me on this trip.

We are now in the capital of the United States. It was Washington DC.

It was the first time I had come to the United States, and it was a huge capital city, and I was guided around by Richard.

Lincoln Museum, National Air and Space Museum, White House, Capitol and so on.

As it is a famous tourist destination, many people flocked to it. It wasn’t the tourist attractions that caught my eye, though.

“Look. You seem to be looking at something else…

“Yes. I was able to see just how extravagant Washington was.”

“Washington is Abyss Town? that is

What do you mean?”

Richard immediately asked me. The translation magic seems to have conveyed the Outer Magical Sight as Abyss Town.

“Abyss Town, the city of the abyss. That’s not wrong. It really might be.”

“… … Please explain in detail.”

At my calm words, Richard asked with a more serious expression on his face.

“As you know, I am a Necromancer. That’s why I know how to see what others can’t see. This time, it has risen to a higher level, so if you want to, you can see it without using magic.”

“Does that mean Washington looks like an Abyss town in your opinion?”

Would you like to see it? Let’s move it to the highest possible place.”

“I do.”

I followed Richard’s guide to the highest point in Washington. It wasn’t a water roof. It was none other than a helicopter. Surprisingly, it flew over the city center thanks to Richard, who hired a helicopter somewhere.

As far as I know, helicopters or airplanes cannot be easily launched within the city center, or the range in which they can fly is limited. But he was casually letting helicopters fly over the American capital.

“ruler. Show me.”

“Then excuse me.”

I cast a spell on Richard in the helicopter. Magic previously used in the dungeon. A magic that makes it possible to see and hear the souls of the dead.

他Sosa! iced coffee! Oh God!”

When the magic appeared and I let go of his hand, he was startled with a bloodless face. What he saw was not a simple city.

A city where many souls and ghosts exist

They don’t just wander around. It literally covers the city. surround the buildings. Even buildings that soar high into the sky are crawling up to cover them.

“… … Can you explain to me how the hell this happened?”

Not a short time passed, and only the real Richard asked me. I nodded and said.

“People die. Do you know what happens to the soul of a dead person?”

“Aren’t you being called to heaven and hell?”

The answer is, I don’t know.”

Do you want to solve riddles with me now?”

He looked quite displeased. I replied with a smile.

“sorry. Let’s get straight to the point. I stopped by the National Cemetery today. Do you remember?”

“Yes it was. I heard you ask for it. I even watched an American funeral go on. Before that, I had to go to the hospital. I stayed there for a while… … no way! You?!”

“I saw what happened to the dead there. In hospitals and in cemeteries.”

“… … What did you see?”

“I saw souls disappearing in a warm form. And I’ve seen souls that become ghosts. Thanks to you I found out. It means that funerals are not just for comforting the souls of the dead.”

Those who died in the arms of their families disappeared from the world without any regrets. However, those who died suddenly remained regretful and stayed with their families in the form of ghosts. When the soul was comforted through a funeral, the ghosts gradually weakened and disappeared.

“Then, is it that the beings that cover this city are those who have not been properly buried after they have died?”

“I think it is highly likely.”

At my words, Richard let out a long sigh as he covered his face with both hands to see if there was something to be said.

Washington DC. The capital of a superpower called the United States.

The outward appearance is even more splendid. But where there is a splendid light, there is also a gloomy darkness.

Due to the high liquidity of medical services due to the privatization of medical care, people die without even seeing beyond the threshold of hospitals.

Unlike in Korea, there are almost no gun regulations, so it is easy to obtain a weapon called a gun in the United States. That’s why so many people die every day because of guns.

There are a lot of people dying because of various crimes, including drugs.

That is America.

In the past, America was called the land of opportunity, but at the same time it was also called the paradise of crime. What if it was crazy? In a way, it is natural that the United States is overflowing with souls who have died with resentment and have become ghosts.

“… … At first, I could understand. Why do you call Washington Abyss Town? However, it is understandable to me that the United States, which is full of ghosts, has been able to survive all this time… … Right. ma it’s me Is it because of Mana?”

“That’s right.”

As he asked the question, his clever brain found the answer for itself. Richard’s face was terribly pale when he gave the answer.

The reason the ghosts are so active is because of mana, not next.

A power that existed in this world, but was originally rare. But now, the concentration of mana around the world is getting thicker.

Mana is a force wielded by the will. The will of the dead is never easy.

Because it is concentrated in one direction as much as it is biased, it is extremely powerful. Mana moved according to their will, giving them strength.

The ghosts, which should have weakened over time and disappeared, not only maintained their existence, but also increased their strength and covered this huge city.

Richard could easily guess what might have happened.

Basically, the dead envy the living. jealous and resent If such beings gain power, they will naturally attack the living.

Sometimes, like a zombie movie, it will dwell in an ownerless body, an abandoned corpse, and attack the living. Stronger ghosts may nest in objects and cause poltergeist effects. The stronger ones will eat other ghosts and increase their power to become ghosts that directly exercise physical power beyond the ghosts.

Zombies and Skeletons. ghosts and ghosts. A city full of countless undead monsters.

The capital of the United States will be Abyss Town, the city of the abyss, as Richard said a while ago.

Realizing that, Richard’s face turned pale. Because of a crisis that may occur in the not-too-distant future

But I didn’t care too much about the state of the city.

Crisis can also be an opportunity. Moreover, I was well aware that someone else’s crisis could turn into a bigger opportunity for someone else.
