31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 170)
After the entire expedition team made up their minds and descended to the 4th basement floor, what they encountered was three horribly dead people, no, three prisoners, and Frannan and Kang Seol looking down at them indifferently..
panting…
And even the dog I saw for the first time.
“What is this?….”
“You did it all in such a short moment.….”
“Frannan! Are you hurt anywhere??”
Frannan looked back with profound eyes..
“Ah, as you can see.”
“Ugh… Our judgment was momentarily impaired. sorry.”
“No, fear itself cannot be a sin. But overcoming that is great in itself..”
Frannan is talking vaguely without knowing what he is saying..
But even that appearance felt so grand to the expedition team..
“also… He has the status of a scale..”
“But, next to it… snowman?”
Mael ran out and checked Snowfall's face..
“also! You're alive.!”
“Mael.”
“It was really dizzying at that time. how… Are you sure you have been living here ever since then??”
Kang Seol nodded..
people were whispering.
“I stayed here for over 10 days.?”
“I think so.….”
“alone?”
“no way… Even if you are Frannan's disciple, that's….”
Snowfall called attention before it became noisy..
“Let's go for now. The fact that everyone came down to the 4th basement floor doesn't mean they are willing to go down further.?”
Frannan smiled sinisterly..
“Phew… Anyway, if you die one way or another, but it's the same, it's not a bad idea to go and see something rare. Everyone follow!”
“yes!”
Kangseol took them to his hiding place that he had prepared in advance..
In fact, it was too shabby to call it a hiding place..
They just took them to an empty cell where the door was open but there were no prisoners inside..
He has been staying here for over ten days..
Frannan brought out the information first..
“so….”
Everything Kang Seol Knows.
Except for a few other expedition members, none of them seemed to know much more than Frannan..
1. Alkatron is an ancient prison.
2. As you go down the floor, the prisoners become stronger..
3. Someone set things up in this Alkatron and got them involved..
This was almost all the information..
But that alone felt like great insight to others..
“Oooooh….”
“As expected from Frannan!”
“This is information we could not have seen even in our dreams.!”
In particular, the wizards of Libra praised him like chicks..
snowfall said.
“The information I know is not much different, but I will tell you a few things..”
“Tell me.”
He hesitated for a moment and then said that he had met a ghost that only he could see here and that he had obtained miscellaneous information about Alkatron from him..
“Nonsense….”
“A ghost is helping Frannan's disciple.?”
People were buzzing, but Frannan didn't say anything. Snowfall said the most unpleasant thing.
“I think the control room may have fallen into the hands of a bad guy..”
“That's probably not it.”
It was Yopimba who came forward to completely deny Kang Seol’s words..
“Did the ghost speak? There is a control room?”
“I was just talking about the possibility that it might happen..”
“Hehe… Let me show you the true colors of an archaeologist here. Kiki, hey and you with the torch. Come and see.”
“Are you saying that??”
“okay. hurry.”
Jofimba pointed to the wall..
“Bring me a torch.”
“yes. uh… what is there.”
“Hehe… yes? Everyone can see it?”
There was something embedded in the wall in the direction Yofimba pointed..
Snowfall said inadvertently.
“…light?”
“Ah, you're quick-witted. Then do you see the letters written above??”
“Where are the letters... uh?”
There was a very small, strange language written on the light embedded in the wall..
Exciting!
‘…what? this feeling?’
Snowfall suddenly felt her heart pounding..
Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on my forehead and I felt a little dizzy..
‘This is a text I feel like I've seen before somewhere..’
I'm sure I've seen it before.
My body was reacting that way. However, he had no recollection of when or where he had seen it..
“Naturally, this sentence written in an unknown ancient language cannot be read or interpreted, but!”
kick…
Ukki…
The addict climbed up Jofimba's leg, sat on her shoulder, and read the text..
〔tatuvar.〕
flashing-!
Suddenly, light poured out of the wall..
“…Ugh.”
“Light, light!”
Jofimba repeated what Kiki had said..
“tatuvar.”
pot-!
Then, the light that brightened the surroundings suddenly disappeared..
Frannan's expression became serious..
“What is this?”
“I looked at the guard and thought: Why is a creature created solely for security purposes so powerful? And why would those who could control such a creature bother to create a cumbersome piece of machinery like a control room? Surprisingly, there are clues everywhere..”
“Can I try it myself??”
“of course.”
Frannan said, leaning on the wall..
“tatuvar.”
flashing-!
He repeats the words again and turns off the light. And then he gently tilted his head and said.
“this… What a rumor. Just now, a small amount of magic has been lost..”
“you're right. Now you understand why Kiki looks tired.?”
“Such a high-level technique can only be used for lighting.….”
“I think the founders of this Alkatron were a super-massive civilization. Considering how powerful words are,.”
“hmm… What do you want to say??”
“I think the guy who put us in the corner now didn't just take control of the control room, he learned all the language and decrees of this place. Or maybe he knew from the start.”
“That's not absurd at all..”
Jofimba said.
“Perhaps, there may be a way to deal with the demon of Alkatron that has been causing us so much trouble..”
“If you could control it... Because arrest is also possible..”
“That's right.”
* * *
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure…
“Is this really the only way??”
“This may be the only way to get downstairs and not go through a fight..”
“Is it a thump or something... It makes people tremble.”
3Once a day, Kungkungi, another predator of the 4th floor underground, raises its huge body and walks around..
Although we are not meeting each other now, everyone who sees Kungkung for the first time will be shocked as if he is starting a game..
‘Because it's a giant.’
Kungkung was a giant made of rock. The sight of him moving around holding a wooden club the size of a house looked funny at first glance, but the intimidation was real..
The way to not deal with him was simple..
When he stands up from the corner of the road he was blocking and walks through his territory, you can take advantage of the gap and enter the corner of the road. Of course, he will have to go through the same method the next time he comes up again..
It's not like I didn't think about fighting that guy..
But, there were definitely going to be casualties..
In other words, the expedition team, which had to get to the lower level with as little damage as possible, had no other options..
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure…
“Shhh… Be careful, don't make a sound.”
“Almost there, just a little more….”
Originally, Kungkung should have been sleeping here, snoring. However, for some reason, he was absent now, and the expedition team took advantage of that gap to reach the corner of the road..
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“uh? Well, it seems like the sound is a little closer than before.?”
Snowfall's complexion hardened..
He had already been informed of the situation before others through the crow, so the situation felt very urgent..
“Run!”
“yes? yes!”
“damn… He's coming! I have to go downstairs quickly.!”
The sound gradually grew louder..
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
“lie… You're coming!”
“What are you doing up front? Why aren't you coming down?!”
If you turn around the corner, there will be stairs there. I naturally expected it to be like that because everyone has been like this so far..
but.
“the door….”
“what?”
“there is a door.”
A huge door big enough for a thumper to enter greeted them..
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
“Damn it! What are you doing without breaking it?!”
Jiyiing-
Hwareuk!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
All kinds of magic rushed towards the locked door. But it was useless.
“It doesn't work at all!”
“Rather, it sucks up magic power.!”
Jofimba said.
“Unbelievable… Either interpret that sentence written in large letters on the door... or not… Yeah, there's the keyhole.!”
“There is a keyhole! There's a key nearby!”
“But, that hole is also really big... There's no way a key that size would have gone unnoticed.?”
Kang Seol woke up to someone’s words..
“this… It was something like that..”
Frannan asked..
“What is it but?”
“Now I think I know who has the keys.”
“…That's what you said.”
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Kwazizizik…
Kungkung appeared in front of the expedition team..
“purr….”
a terribly large creature.
The rock giant Kungkung smiled at them..
[The hidden adventure ‘Gatekeeper Kungkung’ begins.]
Tingling…
Snowfall's eyes were sore as she read the guy's information..
[hard thump]
Grade: Transcendent
estimated level : 45~50
It's not clear how Kungkung ended up in this cursed place..
How could this gigantic creature be brought into this place?.
However, this much is clear.
Those who created this place would have wanted Kungkung to be here..
here and now.
Basic ability: [Boom! 5], [Thump thump! 5], [Thump thump thump thump! 5]
Special Abilities: [Rock Eating 2], [Rock Rain]
snowfall told everyone.
“this guy… wasn't a prisoner.”
Frannan responded..
“Yeah, this guy….”
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“He was a jailer. haha! I was fooled.”
Something entangled with a chain around Kungkung's neck..
that was the key.
“I have no choice but to fight to get down..”
“all battle….”
At that time, Kungkung stamped his foot loudly..
[Kungkung uses Kung!.]
[Causes great damage to targets that step on it..]
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
“What is that?!”
The place where Kung Kung had stepped exploded with a sound like an earthquake or even a bomb had exploded..
[Kungkung uses Kung!.]
[Causes great damage to targets that step on it..]
Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Someone was unable to avoid Kungkung's feet and got run over..
The footsteps were so loud that I couldn't even hear the sound of bones breaking..
“Wow….”
“I feel like I'm going to vomit!”
“Come to your senses! Everyone scatter! Spread out and deal with them!”
“If you get crushed, you die! Come to your senses and deal with me!”
[Kungkung uses Kung!.]
[Causes great damage to targets that step on it..]
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“Wow!!”
Bleep.-
Even though Kungkung is a monster with only 3 abilities, everyone was shocked in front of his overwhelming power..
“Hmm….”
Frannan was the first to come to his senses..
Jiying-
Jiying-
[Frannan uses Magic Circle: Center Shift.]
[Distorts the target's center of gravity.]
[Frannan uses Magic Circle: Ouch!.]
[The shock received when the target falls is greatly increased. This effect becomes stronger the heavier the target is..]
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“Mr. Frannan?”
“I'm watching!”
[Kungkung uses Kung!.]
[Causes great damage to targets that step on it..]
The moment Kungkung raises his foot to use Kung!.
stumble…
“Uh oh?”
“damage! It's crushed!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The thud fell with a noise so loud it was deafening..
“It's time! attack!”
But the opportunity quickly disappeared.
Kungkung waved his arms and hit the ground..
[Kungkung uses Kungkung!.]
[The surrounding terrain is destroyed indiscriminately. The effect is strengthened if the surrounding area is rocky..]
Kwaaaaang!
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Suddenly, rocks started falling from the sky..
At the same time, the floor caved in and protruding stones fell from people's heads..
Well…
“Pfft….”
“You're right! Nana….”
However, at this time, it was difficult for everyone on the expedition to approach the fallen Kungkungi..
purr purr…
A huge black wolf appeared from somewhere..
“Ask, Coco!”
[Coco uses Rip.]
