I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 426



426 – Tartarus #2

426 – Tartarus #2

“Are you from Earth? Ground… I’ve heard about it, but I’ve never seen it in person… ! I heard that it was a place where a very hot fireball was burning high up… !”

Gargar had a lot to say.

Talking non-stop.

Whether it’s an underground imp or an above-ground nymph, talking a lot seems to be the same.

Is it because they are the same species?

No, aren’t they the same species?

Still, the imps were quite capable.

“3rd floor underground… ! I found the stairs… !”

I find the stairs very easily.

This was because he used the tip of his tail like a compass to find the stairs.

It’s a strange imp magic.

Gargar said.

“Originally… There are a lot of monsters in the lower layer that have been exiled from Pandemonium… You can’t just wander around like this… !”

You’re probably talking about monsters.

However, even though I went down the stairs to the 3rd basement floor and reached the 4th basement floor, there were no monsters, monsters, or fallen gods in sight.

When asked about this, Gargar looked at the surroundings and spoke softly.

“This Gargar heard that there is a being going around killing monsters these days… ! A monster that eats monsters… It is truly a terrifying being…!”

It is said that it is.

At that time, Enio looked at the waving tail and said.

“It’s similar to my roommate, Tenebris, but different. “What is the difference between a nymph and an imp?”

It was a question I was curious about too.

About that, Gargar puffs out his broad chest and speaks.

“Imps are born in Pandemonium and are the devil kings’ best messengers… ! It is impossible to compare with the weak nymphs on earth… ! Above all, it has a tail… !”

I heard that imps were originally nymphs.

It is said that beings called the ‘Demon King’ took pity on the nymphs who had to live underground without sunlight and gave them glowing tails.

So it appears that the nymphs became imps with tails.

So what is puipui or poipoi?

Could it be that the imps escaped towards the ground for some reason and their luminous tails degenerated?

I had a lot of questions, but the important thing was that Gargar was more helpful than I thought.

Before we knew it, we were able to reach the 6th floor underground.

If I didn’t have Gargar’s tail, I would have had to walk around for a long time.

I flinch.

It was then.

Enio trembled.

“Victor, something is coming.”

6th floor underground.

It was a terrible place with eggs all over the place.

From noble mtl dot come

It would be correct to say it is a spawning ground.

━Gyaaak.

Something came toward us in that fishy, disgusting place.

To be precise, it seems like he was led by Gargar’s shining tail.

Chabak, chabak-.

The guy approaching with wet footsteps was a huge fish.

A fish with limbs. It had octopus-like tentacles that looked like whiskers, and its entire body was covered in barnacles, making it extremely disgusting.

“Hey… ! Well, Dagon has appeared… ! A monster that is said to prey on imps lost in the lower levels… ! In the end, he was exiled from Pandemonium… !”

That seems to be the case.

So to speak, it felt like this.

「Lv. 81 Dagon in the wet puddle

HP: 400/400

Enhanced. Immune to status ailments. Stamina regeneration.”

Dagon is a named monster commonly encountered in Tartarus.

If the battle continues, it is a headache because the number of his minions, ‘Dagon’s followers’, increases indefinitely. The key to strategy is to kill as quickly as possible.

“Disgusting!”

Victorica was astonished.

It seems that he could not hide his physiological disgust at his deformed and unusual appearance.

━Sacrifice. Female. Stigma.

Dagon opened his gill-like mouth and spoke in a terrible voice.

If you wipe a wet mud floor with a dirty mop, wouldn’t it make that kind of sound?

“《Gungnir》!!!”

Nike suddenly pulled out his spear and shouted.

A javelin thrown with all its might.

Kwaaak, push!!!

It pierces through Dagon’s body

━Keueeeeek!!!

Dagon let out a loud scream.

At the same time, eggs appear to break in the surrounding spawning grounds, and deep-sea monsters that look just like them begin to approach us.

“Hey… ! Dagon’s followers are increasing rapidly… ! This girl, I can’t die like this… ! Hehe… !”

Gyarr gyaar screaming wildly.

However, I shouted calmly.

“Kill the main body! If you kill the main body, the minions will run away or commit suicide!”

Dagon must have suffered a fatal wound from Nike’s attack just now.

Sereung-.

I pulled out Excalibur and slashed the wind.

Sak Sak, Sak Sak-.

Three slashes.

━Gouok, billion, kreuk!?

Dagon’s body is split into three parts: head, chest, and stomach.

Its body collapsed like foam in mud, and the followers who flocked towards us also collapsed in the same way.

“Well, you killed Dagon… ! I mean, it’s amazing… ! The people from the earth are much more amazing than this Gargar thinks… !”

Gargar was greatly impressed when he saw this.

I was also impressed by the effect of Excalibur, which deals additional damage due to the holy attribute.

“Performance is solid.”

My journey was made easier thanks to Arnoy and the nymphs swimming diligently despite the cold autumn current. When I get up to the ground, I have to bake a lot of cookies.

* * *

Unlike the lower floors from the 1st to the 5th floor, those on the 6th to 9th floors continued to encounter monsters.

This is normal.

━Luminous tail… Imp… Food… !

「Lv. 81 Dagon of the Twisting Nether

HP: 400/400

Enhanced fire properties. Recover stamina. “Cursed”

“Hey… ! Dagon came out… !”

“Slash time!”

━Guess!!!

「Lv. 79 Dagon of Chilly Darkness

HP: 390/390

Strengthening water properties. Recover stamina. Causes bleeding”

“Hey… ! Dagon appears again… !”

“…”

But for some reason, I got the feeling that a lot of Dagon was appearing.

Isn’t there a guy like Asmodeus?

It’s a very popular monster because it looks like a succubus.

“Hey, Dagon again…” ” !”

━Luminous tail…

It seems that Gargar’s tail is like a bait product to lure Dagon.

“It’s so disgusting!”

Thanks to that, Victorica’s nerves became increasingly sensitive.

If you deal with fishy fish monsters endlessly in the dark, you’re bound to get upset.

“Wow.”

After creating Dagon’s body once again, Victorica nauseated.

Then he adds one more word.

“I don’t think seafood will look bad for the time being. It’s a truly terrible place. I want to go out quickly and wash with clean water. “Wow.”

However, unlike Victorica, who was in pain, Gargar packed the scales, tentacles, and flesh that had fallen from Dagon’s body into a bag.

I was curious about what you were doing earlier, but I couldn’t bear to ask.

However, it seems that Nike could not contain his curiosity.

“Gyarr gyaar, what are you taking care of earlier?”

“Dagon… It looks terrible, but it’s delicious in its own way… ! If you take this with you, I’m sure all the Imp sisters will love it… ! This Gargar came up from underground to get food… !”

What do you eat like that?

But I didn’t specifically say those words out loud.

A hell cut off from the earth.

When it comes to food, the only things you can find around you are.

Anyway.

With that feeling, I arrived at the 10th floor.

The total number of Dagons defeated is 5.

If you include followers, there are over ten.

“It was a truly terrible journey.”

Victorica still looks like she’s about to vomit something.

She looks very distressed.

But it wasn’t just a terrible journey.

I didn’t use any potions to get here.

I did not encounter any monsters from the 1st to the 5th floor.

Also, I guess it was because I was able to quickly find the stairs from the 6th to the 10th floor thanks to Gargar.

If you save on supplies like this, you might actually be able to break through the 35th floor and reach ‘Pandemonium’ located on the 40th floor?

Of course, our goal is the “Console Orb” Located on the 10th floor.

“We’re almost there.”

A hard stone wall on the 10th floor.

If you pass through the hallway lined with torches on either side and turn left, there is a broken fountain.

If you use wall penetration at that dead corner, you will fall into a black space.

“You mean if you walk through that empty space, you’ll find an item?”

Enio asked me.

I said that to Enio.

“Two steps to the left, then 25 steps to the right. Just take two steps to the left again.”

The current Enio is a self-proclaimed master of “Hollow Work”, Breaking through walls.

So to speak, he is a skilled bug user.

Sussssseu-.

Enio disappeared into the wall.

Gargar, who saw that, said, “Hey… ! He disappeared into the wall… ! There are no stairs that suddenly appear, which makes no sense… !” They make a fuss.

Even for Gargar, a resident of Pandemonium, breaking through walls looks strange.

“I guess I’ll just have to wait an hour or two.”

Because you will have to continuously clear the blocked space.

It was a time when I wanted to wait for a while with that feeling.

Seuseuseuk-.

Enio appeared less than 30 seconds after entering the wall.

“Is this it?”

Enio had a bead in his hand.

It was a bead with three letters written on it.

‘E:TL’

There is no other explanation other than that.

Engineer tools I remembered.

It looks exactly like the “Console bead”.

Does it work?

After taking the marble from Enio’s hand, I tried manipulating it here and there.

But, I don’t know how to operate it.

In the game, when you click on something in the inventory window with the mouse, a chat window or something like that pops up and you have to input a specific key there.

“I guess this needs some research. “I don’t know how to use it.”

Anyway.

The journey to Tartarus ended easier than I thought.

The supplies we prepared with so much fuss just became a burden.

This is better than someone getting hurt or falling down.

“Then we return to the ground.”

I announced my return to my companions.

Then Victoria revealed her face.

“Let’s go back quickly. Such a fishy place!”

However, Nike took a quick look at Gargar.

A quivering gal-gal.

“Ji, you mean to go back to earth? I thought I was heading towards Pandemonium with this Gargar…”

“Victor, what should we do?”

Nike seems to be worried about having to break through to the 40th floor alone.

Of course, Gargar spoke bravely.

“This girl came down here alone from the 40th floor… ! I can go down to the 40th floor alone again… ! Outsiders from the ground… ! It was nice to meet you… !”

Is it okay?

It feels really uncomfortable.

“Let’s go down further, then.”

Victorica said something.

When I raised my eyebrows at his unexpected story of her, Victorica sighed and added an explanation.

“You look like you have no choice because you want to go downstairs. It may seem expressionless to others, but to me, it’s all obvious, right? How long do you think I’ve seen your face?”

Then Nike shouted in anger.

“Victoria is trying to monopolize the role of being generous-hearted! “I was going to ask you to go downstairs with Viktor, too?”

I see.

Has it become obvious?

Everyone is becoming a master at reading my facial expressions.

Enio said.

“Maybe it’s not a bad idea. This thing called a “Console bead”. “Isn’t there a reason why it was hidden in a place in this hell that I can barely find with my 《Hollow Work》?”

“Hmm…”

“If we go deeper, we might be able to find out how it works.”

Is that really the case?

When I was feeling a bit doubtful, Gargar spoke.

“The Demon King is someone who knows everything in the world… ! If you go to him, you will definitely be able to find out how to use that bead… !”

The devil.

I never thought there would be such a being in Ludens.
