“omg!”
I widened my eyes..
“Heo-eok, heo-eok!”
As I lifted my upper body up, my entire body was covered in cold sweat. I exhaled harshly and wiped away the sweat..
“dream… … is it…….”
Maybe dawn… … I think it's about a certain amount of time. Since it is a dungeon under a lake, it is difficult to estimate time using sunlight..
Let's take out the pocket watch. It's 5 am. It's still too early.
“majesty?”
Suddenly I heard a voice and looked over to see that Junior was awake..
He is leaning back against the back of the bed and holding a bear in his mouth..
Smoke is billowing out of Gombangdae. Has a faint herbal scent.
“Are you okay, Your Highness? No matter where you are hurting?”
“Ah, yes. what. no. are you okay.”
For some reason, I felt relieved to see someone awake, so I smiled a little..
“why aren't you sleeping.”
“I fell asleep and woke up.”
Junior removed the stick from his mouth and asked worriedly..
“Are you okay, Your Majesty? You must have been having a nightmare, or you were having a hard time..”
“…….”
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and let out a soft sigh..
“There's one thing I regret.”
“…….”
“Maybe that's why I dream that dream often..”
Junior laughed bitterly..
“A lot of people said that.”
“A lot? So do other people?”
“I do that often..”
Junior shrugged his shoulders..
“Is it because I have a lot of regrets? I often have nightmares.”
“…….”
What kind of nightmare does Junior have?.
15A year ago, I dreamed of the day the village burned down... … Am I dreaming??
“Everyone else is sleeping well..”
Let's look back, it was really true.
Evangeline is sleeping well, snoring and scratching her stomach, Lucas is sleeping stiffly at attention, and Damien is quietly stretched out without making a sound. Hey, it's alive?
“When I sleep alone, I'm scared even when I wake up from a nightmare..”
Junior smiled slightly and looked back at the party members..
“Since we're all together like this, I'm not really worried. Just hearing other people's breathing makes me feel safer..”
“Haha, shall we go camping often from now on??”
“Hehehe. It's okay. … … However, next time.”
Looking at the peaceful scene where the party members were sleeping, Junior calmly made his wish..
“I hope it's a picnic somewhere with a nice view, not a dungeon..”
“……I know.”
I hope that day comes soon.
It was then.
Suddenly!
“majesty!”
Suddenly the bedroom door opened and someone ran inside..
“I'm sorry, Your Highness. I think you need to wake up.!”
A large man wearing a jackal mask.
This was the jackal, the owner of the Colosseum..
The startled party members woke up one by one. I quickly got up and asked.
“What's wrong, what's wrong??”
“It's an enemy attack.”
The jackal reluctantly spoke back..
“……The vampires came in..”
I opened my eyes wide..
The jackal tasted bitter..
“Bernato, I guess he wasn't lying back then..”
The vampire we killed yesterday, Bernato said clearly..
- I am of the family of Lord Celendion, the great Nosferatu! Since you dared to mess with me and make me like this, the monarch will definitely judge you.…….
It wasn't a lie.
Celendion's clan invaded here to seek revenge..
***
thud!
Kugu Palace!
The building vibrates in a blur..
The Colosseum was under attack.
Frost ghouls came in like a wave and surrounded the Colosseum, screaming and rushing forward..
Meanwhile, Ghoul reinforcements and Fallen Bloods were mixing together one by one to strengthen their attacks..
Kieeeeek!
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The Colosseum was responding with giant monsters raised inside..
The giant monsters that opened the Colosseum door and came out screamed loudly and twisted their huge bodies..
The goblin god swung its eight arms, and the decayed dragons spewed fire..
The frost giants swung their huge spears..
bang! Quaguagwang……!
war between monsters and monsters.
The party members and I watched this incredible scene with our mouths wide open..
‘Honestly, I thought the vampire bastard I killed yesterday was a piece of shit.…….’
I never thought he would go to this extent to seek revenge. I didn't know much about the kinship of vampires..
“Even if they are the corps commander's direct unit, this is my courtyard..”
The jackal blurted out confidently..
“It's not easy to break through. I will show you a very bitter and sour taste..”
“Are you okay, Jackal??”
“Of course, your highness. I have experienced many worse things than this. It wasn't easy to get the title of Gladiator King.?”
The jackal's bloody eyes shined. The fighting spirit of a gladiatorial king overflowed throughout his body..
“However, you never know when the battle will intensify, so it would be better for you to take the underground passage and return quickly..”
It was as he said. It was obvious that if I got caught up in that battle, I wouldn't be able to recover even a single bone..
My party members and I quickly finished preparing and gathered at the manhole in the center of the Colosseum stadium..
The jackal opened the manhole cover himself..
“Your Majesty has already conquered this place. The loser's path will be open again in the opposite direction..”
“Thank you, Jackal.”
“you're welcome. majesty.”
Boom, coo googung…….
Kwagwagwagwang!
The sounds of battle were getting louder outside the Colosseum..
“So, go ahead! As long as Your Majesty isn't around, I can go on a rampage without any worries..”
Jackal urged, and one by one my party members pushed themselves into the shaft..
Finally, as I entered the passage, the jackal picked up the manhole cover and whispered:.
“majesty.”
“huh?”
“I was grateful that you remembered the name of a nobody like me. Those words were salvation for me.”
I was staring blankly at that jackal.,
“……Hey jackal.”
I curled up the corners of my mouth and smiled..
“If you say that line, it feels like you're going to die. Be careful from now on.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! I was telling the truth, but the atmosphere was a bit like that.?”
I could see a grinning smile underneath the mask..
“see you again. majesty. I hope I can treat you leisurely next time..”
“I also want to be treated leisurely. Well, see you next time..”
“yes. Oh, and this is a small courtesy..”
The jackal took out a pouch and put it in my hand..
“I look forward to seeing you again. majesty. Well then good luck.”
thud.
manhole cover closed.
“…….”
I silently climbed down the ladder to the bottom of the passage and opened the bag the jackal gave me..
rattle.
It was full of dark crystals..
“……this.”
It's like a real death flag, Gladiator King..
After silently putting it in my inventory, I raised my head..
I saw party members looking at me with stern faces..
“Let's go back.”
I chewed quietly and spat it out, glaring at the other side of the long passage..
“Showing the vampires a taste of silver and lightning is still a bit far away..”
***
How much time has passed since it started spinning in the opposite direction?.
“by the way…….”
Evangeline, who was walking in the last row, made a curious voice..
“This passage is not a little colder than yesterday.?”
“Oh, I see.……?”
That's what I heard and saw. Every time I spoke, white breath was blowing out of my mouth..
“Ugh, it’s cold… … suddenly…….”
Damian clutched his forearm and trembled..
“……This.”
White frost had settled on Junior's bloodless face..
I frowned..
weird.
Obviously, something is strange.
The moment everyone in the party noticed it.
“lord.”
Lucas, the leader, made a firm voice..
“Why are you like that?.”
“In front of the aisle... … there is something.”
“…….”
Although I didn't feel like it, I went to Lucas' side. I saw that too.
“……!”
There was a boy standing there.
He was a small boy dressed in a neat black suit..
With skin as pale as snow and hair as dark as the night sky..
and… … Looking here with eyes as red as blood and overflowing with energy..
There was no need to ask who it was. It was an opponent I had fought dozens of times while playing the game..
“Celendion…….”
I gritted my teeth..
“……He is a vampire king.”
Sreung! sreung!
The party members urgently formed a battle formation..
Evangeline joined the vanguard, and the two knights drew their silver weapons..
Damian, who had drawn his crossbow, stepped back and lowered his posture, while Junior cast magic and raised his body..
I stood in the middle, pulled out the Maestro and held it in my hand..
《hmm.》
and.
《Excuse me for a moment.》
The next moment, Celendion was in the middle of our party..
In Celendion's hand was Lucas' silver sword, broken in half..
In the other hand were Evangeline's spear blade and Damien's crossbow, both broken..
“uh?”
“no…….”
“what?”
Stupid sounds came out from the mouths of the three people. the next moment.
puck! Pow! Going to school-!
Lucas, Evangeline, and Damien bounced in all directions like bowling pins..
An intangible force struck the three people..
The party members left, vomiting blood, and were thrown against the wall of the hallway before sliding to the floor..
“Hmm-!”
Junior urgently casted a spell. Elements of the three attributes gathered in the air and formed a magic sphere..
And Selendion just glanced at the magic ball..
《Until there.》
Hwaak-!
Just with that, the magic disintegrated and fell to pieces..
Junior muttered as if it was absurd..
“……lie.”
Going to school!
The next moment, Junior was also struck by some force and fell far away..
Jeez. Jeopuk.
After incapacitating all my party members in the blink of an eye.
《Let's talk, player..》
The Vampire King walked slowly and stood in front of me and looked up at me..
《I have a lot of questions about you.》
