EP.182 Devil Castle
Inside a damp, dark building.
There, Shin Haru was walking quietly..
"...."
She continued to move forward, stepping on something sticky and black on the floor..
So she went down to the basement after passing what was originally an escalator..
The wide, open space that was originally crowded with people was.
"...ha."
It literally turned into hell..
A place where the electricity is half gone and blinks faintly..
It was a shameful sight in itself to see a place that was accustomed to being always crowded with people, but empty without a single person, but this time it was even worse..
Something black and writhing on the floor..
These unidentifiable creatures occupied not only the floor, but also the walls and even the ceiling..
Appears as if alive.
The sight of this large space being encroached upon by those black tentacle-like things was a sight that would make an ordinary person tremble in fear just by looking at it..
Shin Haru just frowned for a moment and spoke..
'...The black tentacles remind me of the day I spent with Ego Stick. Behi... I think it was something..'
Even for a moment, she was lost in old thoughts, recalling past events..
Of course, since this was the middle of enemy territory, I quickly shook off those thoughts and went back to my mission..
The purpose of this exploration is to eliminate as much as possible the monsters that are said to be multiplying here and kill the villain who caused all of this..
Of course, capturing alive would be best, but since the opponent seemed too dangerous, that was decided..
'...This villain's trajectory is different from other previous villains in that he appears to be able to erode entire large areas and create other life forms on his own. Looking at similar cases in foreign countries, this type of villain wonders what will happen after more than a week of erosion....'
She pondered the expert's words and then continued to move further inward..
And the deeper you go, the more horrifying sights you see..
The underground department store-like space spreads out in various directions like an anthill, and everything is covered in something sticky and black..
The more he looked at the scene, the more it seemed like something out of a horror movie, and Shin Haru's expression got worse. In particular, I heard that there was some kind of strange creature, but since it was empty and there was nothing to see, it was rather scary..
She slowly felt something strange, so she increased her speed a little more and walked faster..
...I feel like it would be better to fight something alive first..
So, Shin Haru headed further and further down..
And the more it happened, the more the sights began to become more and more strangely distorted..
"...."
Spaces that have been completely altered, different from the original map..
Now, among the black substances that have consumed everything, leaving not a single gap..
Disparate objects that seemed to have been used in the Middle Ages appeared one by one..
Antique-looking mirrors, candle holders, and even bizarre-looking portraits..
They were hung sparsely and heterogeneously, making the atmosphere feel strange..
Soon, Shin Haru, who was flying through the hallways with his face frozen, finally saw it..
Crrrrr-
The ‘things’ rising from the black liquid.
They looked like little devils. A small head, two horns, and even wings. The only difference is that it had no face at all, perhaps because its entire body was made of sticky, black things. There weren't even eyes.
They looked like small people and were wandering around in a certain space. Black and sticky things eat up all the space, only in that place where even the light is dim..
And on one side, a suspiciously bubbling black liquid appears..
In front of the place where a strange black protuberance was rising, an arm made of black tentacles emerged from within the bubbling liquid..
In a grotesque scene.
Let her take one step closer.
whistling-.
At that moment, horribly.
All at once, the faces of those demon-shaped tentacles turned towards her..
"...."
And, at that very moment.
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
All the demons in the room rushed at her.
"Write it..."
At the same time, Starders also clenched his fist and took a step forward..
Yeah, it's better to fight like this.
Because a real enemy is better than an unclear fear.
Just like that, her fist knocked off the devil's head..
***
"Huh...huh..."
How long has it been since then?.
Shinharu gasped and immediately raised his head and looked around..
...Enemies no longer visible.
And, the surrounding area became a mess..
She quickly sighed and shook off the black substance on her hands..
...It was stronger than she thought, but she persevered..
They look so scary, like ghosts, they naturally collapse when hit with a fist, like something similar to an organism..
Of course, she was stronger than expected because she was made of tentacles, and it was difficult to deal with so many entities at the same time, but she was still strong compared to before, so she was manageable..
However, the problem is that we don't know how many more of these there are..
"...."
With that in mind, Shinharu looked around again..
The black demons that were defeated earlier disappeared again as if absorbed into the liquid..
After confirming that, she instead headed towards the place where the black liquid that had been bubbling from earlier was located..
What I saw there was something like a black tumor. And a horned head almost half formed in the black puddle below..
"Tsk."
She then kicked it away and looked at it for a moment, analyzing it..
...It seems that demons appear in front of this bulging black thing that wriggles like a heart..
After making that judgment, she put her foot down and kicked the devil's heart..
The tumor shattered with a popping sound..
And the puddle in front of it.
-Bubble bubble.
With the sound, the boiling stopped..
Only after confirming that no more demons came up, Shinharu took a moment to sigh..
"Phew..."
...Is this area roughly over?.
She was exhausted and wanted to sit down somewhere, but of course she gave up when she saw that everything around her was covered in black tentacles..
Shin Haru is once again left alone in a dark, empty space with only a flickering light..
Only then did she check again where she was..
A large meeting plaza in the basement with a fountain or something..
Of course, everything was covered in black tentacles, but it wasn't hard to guess that this place was once crowded with people. The upper floor was open, so you could see up to the second floor..
She looked around to see if other things had heard the sound and were coming, but when no one came, she stood alone and lost in thought..
"....."
Then, her face naturally hardened..
...The conclusion she came to after coming here and fighting those demons was.
This is a much bigger deal than I thought..
'...This level of ability.'
The places she has been through so far are numerous..
And those spaces were all covered with this black thing..
All of this was created by one person, overnight..
And those devilish things.
Although she was able to defeat her quickly within a few minutes, the fact that it took quite a bit of effort for her to deal with her means that she is quite strong. In the first place, Stardust himself was the strongest among all heroes in Korea..
But these things multiply on their own..
How many of those proliferating monsters might lie in this vast underground??
Stadus got goosebumps without realizing it for a moment..
...Just how strong is the villain who caused all of this?.
At the same time, a kind of lament.
Why on earth do villains like this keep appearing?.
Is Korea cursed with the inability to be peaceful?.
"...First of all, deal with the places that create those demons as much as possible, and just deal with the villains... everything will be done.."
So she muttered that alone in an empty space. As if persuading yourself.
Of course, no response came back..
Only her voice echoes in the empty space.
...let's keep going.
After stretching out her arms and stretching her muscles for a moment, she walked deeper again..
She went deep with those blue eyes and a slightly anxious expression, but I didn't know until then..
There was a pair of eyes watching her entire process..
***
...Write it. I'm good at fighting, but I still feel a little uneasy.
Should I kill the final boss instead and force this event to end?.
[...No, brother. Well, it was you who told me that I had to grow up or the world would be ruined.?]
An absurd voice echoing in my head.
No, I know that. I do it because it breaks my heart to see Stardust suffering in real time..
somewhere underground in the trade center.
As I was watching Stardus hidden behind the black pillar, I sighed..
A strange machine floating next to me.
A surveillance machine called Ego-Search, created by Seo-eun, looked like a jellyfish at best and was with me..
'...Still, looking at the battle earlier,.'
It definitely feels like it fights better than the original. Surely there might be a slight chance of winning this time..
But that's it, fuck it. I'm scared to death. Everywhere is full of black liquid monster..
Even in the original, people complained about it being a cool special episode, but since it was actually in that place, I was a little scared as a weak-hearted person..
[haha! It feels as friendly as home here! Before I escape from my underworld...]
...Of course, unlike me, he is a Death Knight who is buzzing with excitement in the ring. As I listened to him explain, I sighed again..
It's already been a few hours since I finally persuaded the Egostream members to come down to this basement..
I came down to the basement of this demon castle with a nervous feeling, as if I was testing my courage alone, and I kept hiding and watching for fear that Stardus would suddenly die..
But, it seems like he fights pretty well. In the original, I got hurt while fighting those little devils, but I didn't do that..
okay. But the good news is, if this pace continues, I probably won't have to do anything.!
I used to think so positively.
then.
