31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 167)
The whole body is black.
Not only that, but the jailer's facial features were all his mouth was wide open, as if his eyes, nose, and ears had never been there to begin with..
It was strange and suspicious..
Snowfall decided that it was safe since the distance from the guard was quite far, and then checked the information about the current situation..
Adventure 22-2. ‘If you get caught, you die.’
Another risk factor for Alkatron has appeared: the jailer. It doesn't matter how they came into being or what their true identity is. It's just that they must be quite annoying. I think that's all we have to keep in mind for now..
As of now, no information has been obtained.
Goal: Survive.
Be careful, this adventure is very dangerous.
Be careful, this adventure changes from moment to moment..
Please note, this adventure is expected to be a long journey. Therefore, you may not be able to get proper rest..
Current remaining time 「11 : 55」
‘It took less time than before... Still, it’s better because it’s clearer than the first time..’
“Wow!….”
The guard looked around and walked away..
‘What I'm saying is, go down the stairs to avoid that guard.?’
Kang Seol thought for a moment and tilted his head..
‘But why should you avoid it? Even though I'm a guard, there's not much difference between me and the prisoners here..’
“Wow!!”
pot-!
At that time, the guard noticed something and ran towards it..
‘It's fast!’
The guard, who was only quivering with the movements of a slug, rushed in like a leopard when he caught sight of his target..
It was in the opposite direction of the snowfall..
Kiyi!
A prisoner with a bandaged face spotted the guard and took a step back in surprise..
“Kyaaa!”
Kiyiyi!
The prisoner desperately tried to escape, but the guard was faster than him..
Tuk.
Just the slightest touch. The guard's long arms touched the prisoner's body..
simplicity and honesty…
Ujijijik…
The prisoner's head became bulging..
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
It just exploded.
‘…What is that?’
[Advanced Insight is activated..]
[Find out about the hidden guard.]
[We have acquired new information about If You Get Caught, You Will Die.]
Snowfall's Seon Ji-an read the guard's information..
[Upper layer: Jailer]
Grade: Rare
Estimated Level: Unknown.
A creature on which Alkatron's special magic is operating. Unless the magic is dispelled, it is virtually invincible. In particular, its power is maximized when dealing with Alkatron's prisoners..
Basic Abilities: None.
Special Abilities: [Alkatron: Physical Damage Resistance], [Alkatron: Elemental Damage Resistance], [Sinner's Brand], [Brand Burning]
‘Well, there are all these monsters?’
Kang Seol looked at Tori, feeling fortunate that she didn't rush at the guard..
Tori shrugged..
“Since he has to deal with vicious upper-class prisoners, the guard must be more dangerous than that.?”
“Is there a guard walking around on a regular basis??”
“No, I just happened to see it... Anyway, you should never crash. At least in the upper reaches of Alkatron, they're invincible..”
“The upper class? Are there no guards in the lower levels??”
“huh. But even if it was, it probably wouldn't have been of any use..”
“Why??”
“Because the prisoners are stronger than the guards.”
“…….”
Snowfall could not hide her surprise..
‘Are the prisoners in the lower class rapidly becoming stronger??’
“by the way… It seems that the person who planned this succeeded in accessing the depths of Alkatron.?”
“The deep part?”
“The control room. Seeing how even the guards follow his intentions. Well, they are like puppets, but it is impossible to treat them like puppets..”
“Is it impossible to escape from Alkatron??”
“I don't know, maybe? It doesn't make sense if you gain control and don't seal the entrance.?”
Kang Seol nodded and thought of another idea..
‘Mael and Chameli should be safe..’
It might be that the people who were with us just now are confronting the guard..
‘I can't help it. Since you've come this far, you have to take care of your own life..’
Now, that's out of the question, the rest is for you to find out for yourself..
For example, details of the guards, directions to the lower floors, etc..
‘Okay, then where….’
Whirling-!
The method that Kangseol came up with was a creation..
Creating crows of an appropriate size and scattering them in all directions.
‘This way, it will be easy to determine the guard's location..’
Caw!…
food deukdeuk…
Six crows spread out in all directions.
‘…see.’
Not everyone had clear vision. It was pitch black, and the crows could only see a blurry outline in the darkness..
But the moment Kangseol activates Seonjian,.
Wow!…
I now have a vision that allows me to see through a fairly wide range..
‘The duration is short and the mental fatigue is severe, so it may not be possible to maintain it 24 hours a day. Still, this is a huge harvest..’
Snowfall was now able to explore the surroundings as if it had antennae..
“It's good….”
A guard was seen near the crow..
‘Where should I find out??’
Caw!…
A crow circled around the guard..
10M distance.
‘a little closer….’
7M distance.
Slurp…
5M distance.
pot-!
The guard caught the crow..
Frozen…
Snowfall forcibly de-summoned the crow..
“Wow?”
The guard looked around for a moment in confusion, but soon returned to his previous foolish behavior..
‘5If you approach the inside of M, you will be discovered by the guard. You just have to be careful about that..’
And I thought it would be best to avoid conflict with other prisoners as much as possible. I don't want to attract the guard's attention just in case..
‘this… The odds of running into a colleague are quite low.….’
In this case, you are more likely to encounter guards or prisoners than your colleagues..
‘Let’s go down as quickly as possible and join us..’
Now that the goal has been decided, Snowfall continues her search..
“like… I also had this talent?”
“I know how to do this and that.”
“That's amazing….”
There was no need to encounter enemies as the crow monitored all directions. Unfortunately, he did not encounter his colleagues during this process..
‘Did it go down quickly??’
However, that was only Kang Seol's wish, as the corpses of those who appeared to be his colleagues were found everywhere..
Kang Seol checked each of the corpses to see if anyone he recognized was there. Should I say fortunately, the bodies were all unknown to people?.
Tingling…
I felt the wind blowing near the crow ahead..
‘Could it be that there are stairs going down??’
But just when Snowfall finally found the entrance to the lower floor, someone snatched the crow..
‘…what?’
Someone holding a crow and observing it.
‘I'm a prisoner!’
However, something was different from the previous prisoners..
was a person.
His mouth was sewn shut so he couldn't hear, but he had a human face..
Just as the crow's Seon Ji-an is about to read the prisoner's information.
Frozen…
“Ugh….”
The crow caught in the prisoner's hand burst out..
Snowfall quickly ran to the place where the crow died..
“…found.”
One of the prisoners was strutting around, wondering if this was indeed the path leading downstairs..
‘however… It doesn't look normal.’
Even if you look around, the only thing alive is a prisoner.
‘…….’
The rest were all corpses..
‘Did this person come up after the second location change and massacre the expedition team he encountered??’
[2Floor: Humer the puppeteer]
Rank: Hero
estimated level : 31 - 35
A powerful prisoner sleeping in Alcatron..
The dolls he handles have stronger physical abilities than when they were alive..
Basic abilities: [Puppet 2], [Flesh Sewing 1], [Tie and Paste 3], [Forced Dance 2], [Separation Anxiety 4], [Internal Explosion] 5]
Special ability: [All consciousness 2]
The man with his mouth sewn up made a strange expression and raised his puppet..
[Puppeteer Humer uses a puppet.]
[Those who are in bondage to him do as he pleases..]
[The puppet has powerful physical abilities.]
“Ugh….”
“Ugh….”
The corpses that had been lying around just now stood up at the man's gesture..
“…….”
Among them, Kang Seol found a familiar face..
- Everything, you. Frannan's disciple... Is this correct? It's me, I'm sorry!
Obviously, it was Yoran who was together not long ago..
Unfortunately, the entrance to the second floor seemed to have been discovered before the snowfall..
The puppet wearing the shell of Yoran spoke..
“porridge… Hello….”
Snowfall’s expression turned cold..
Tori, who was watching this scene, warned.
“This guy… You’re a doll company, right? be careful! The guy….”
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Whirling-!
whilick-!
Black energy burst out from both of Snowfall's hands and turned into twin knights. Karen and Karuna were also watching the situation and had no hesitation in drawing their swords..
sreung-!
sreung!
The sword is swung several times at very high speed..
Sasasak-!
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
All the puppets turned into pieces of meat and fluttered around..
Embarrassed, Humer took a step back and tried to extend his hand forward..
whistling…
Suddenly-!
Humer's hand was cut in two by Karuna's sword. And Humer, who was defenseless, could not avoid Karen's sword that followed..
Suddenly-!
Humer's head and body were separated with disbelief in his eyes..
Absolutely pure killing).
In the blink of an eye, a hero-level prisoner on the second floor lost his life..
Tori was embarrassed by Humer's death..
“uh… what? Was Humer this weak? It's not… Rather, you were a summoner.?”
“…….”
“Why are you so angry... ah! That friend. It was the person I ran into earlier. Too bad. I had the misfortune of meeting the prisoner on the second floor.….”
Tori comforted Kangseol.
A choice occurred to Kang Seol..
[Found the lower entrance to Alcatron. What should I do?]
1. Going down.
2. doesn't go down.
……
only 2 choices.
Snowfall slowly headed downstairs.
* * *
Alkatron, 2nd basement level.
There was a guard here too.
Snowfall explored the second floor with a smaller number of crows than before..
All prisoners are monsters of hero level or higher..
Of course, it wasn't a very difficult opponent for the current Snow Seol, but he moved cautiously because he could have dragged the guards in just in case..
pot-!
One of the crows was caught by someone again.
- Ah, the crow always gets caught hahaha
- At this point, shouldn’t a union be launched on the crow side as well??
- ??? : Putting the rights and interests of our workers first…
- ??? : Mutual labor-management relations with summoners…
‘What else??’
This time, the opponent didn't burst the crow right away. That's because he was Kang Seol's ally..
The person who caught the crow was Mael..
“pee… Snowman? As expected, you are safe. Are you around here??”
The snowfall made the crow nod. Then he retrieved the other crows and ran straight to Mael..
“Phew… I was worried. While I was wondering if it was a guard or something,….”
“Have you seen the parish priest??”
“Haven't encountered it yet. I'm worried. Have you ever dealt with the monsters here, on the second underground floor??”
“yes.”
“person… It was like this. Maybe this Alkatron is a man-made facility..”
“It's probably very likely..”
“Most of the expedition team will lose their lives due to this incident. We'd better hurry up and solve this problem..”
Snowfall nodded and exchanged information with Mael. In fact, what Mael knew was insignificant compared to what Kangseol knew..
Maybe that's why Mael's eyes shined brightly every time he heard about Snowfall..
“Oh oh… My prediction of an ancient prison turned out to be exactly right! Perhaps this Alkatron is a structure built by humans and was abandoned for some reason... It seems forgotten. But, this is a bad prank. All of our lives are influenced by someone's intentions.….”
“I guess to solve this….”
“Libra comes later. First, find Alkatron's control room or….”
Mael nodded..
“Either kill the culprit behind this or.”
“great.”
“To do that, first of all…”
Kugoong…
“Probably not?”
“please… I hope not….”
Kugu Palace…
Snowfall and Mael frowned and prepared for another spatial movement..
Terrible.
Tick, tsk, tsk.
“what? You're fine..”
“after… I don't think it was a space move..”
The sorrow in the lamp laughed at them.
【Phew… I saw how scared you guys were..】
“…….”
【It was nice to see him shaking with anxiety..】
at that time.
Kwazijic…
“…uh?”
“Uh oh?”
Kwazizizik…
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The floor they stepped on cracked and collapsed. In particular, in places where there was snow, everything collapsed and there was no room to escape..
“hand! snowman!”
“damn….”
Mael immediately got out of his seat and stretched out his hand, but couldn't reach it..
The heartbreak fell and howled..
【Ahhhhh!】
Grief and snowfall fell like that.
whilick-!
All Snowfall could do was take the form of a raven to prepare for the impact..
[The hidden adventure ‘Alkatron Collapse’ begins..]
dump…
“Ughhh….”
Snowfall that can't escape from the great shock.
He waved the lamp, but the grief did not respond..
He probably fainted..
Kang Seol shook his head and raised his stretched out body..
“Ugh… here… Where is it?”
- 3Is this a true story?…
- They even make it collapse haha.
panting…
panting…
“dog?”
I heard a dog approaching from somewhere..
panting…
Really, it was a dog..
The dark dog came right in front of the snowfall..
Although it was absurd, Snowfall followed her instinct and petted the dog..
Sze… Zech…
“How far have we fallen??”
The dog clucked and licked Kang Seol’s hand..
He rummaged through his chest and handed over beef jerky made from monster meat..
Chop chop…
“You're eating well... . hmm?”
Snowfall was very embarrassing now..
Kiyi…
‘Damn it! It's a guard! Was I caught up in the collapse??’
Right next to him, the guard was struggling to get up. Perhaps the guard who was walking nearby was also swept away when the snowfall fell..
‘What do we do? first….’
At that time, the dog that Kang Seol had been petting just now suddenly changed..
Crrrrr…
“Dangerous!”
The snowfall was clearly spoken to the dog..
If you attack the guard, you'll explode like a prisoner on the first floor..
But.
Okay! Sigh!
The guard's neck was torn off..
“…what?”
The dog that tasted the jailer's blood growled..
Crrrrr…
The dog's eyes became more ferocious and its size gradually grew..
When it became bigger than a human or Jamard, the snowfall's prophetic eye was activated..
Keying-
[Amazing discovery! Discover a mysterious creature.]
Kang Seol, who was in danger of losing his life to the dog who had just been giving him beef jerky, read the information obtained by Seon Jian..
“transcendence… Rating? There….”
Crrrrr…
keung!
keung!
“4floor? This is the 4th floor underground.?”
The snow has now fallen on the 4th basement level of Alkatron, coincidentally, as an aftermath of Alkatron's collapse..
The colleague who will save him will still be on the second basement floor..
Shocked by the sight of the guard being murdered, Kang Seol recalled the conversation he had with Tori a while ago..
- The upper class? Are there no guards in the lower levels??
- huh. But even if it was, it probably wouldn't have been of any use..
- Why??
- Because the prisoners are stronger than the guards.
Crrrrr…
A black dog slowly approached the snowfall.
That guy wasn't the type to be satisfied with eating beef jerky. What if I swallowed the whole beef jerky?.
‘damn… Now that it’s like this… It's better than saving and dying!’
Sigh…
At the moment of imminent action, Kang Seol took something out of her arms..
It was something I bought from Janet at the madness store the other day..
[I use a love-hate deer sachet.]
