Apocalypse Reconquest Chapter 114

Episode 114

A suspiciously lush hill in an abandoned city.

The deputy leader of Team 2 of the Mercenary Corps spoke as he looked at a cliff cave located on top of a hill that was barely large enough for a grown man to fit through.

“It’s Guiho Cave.”

“Yeah. Someone with your skills would know that.”

According to Sehyuk’s memories, this dungeon was an all-purpose area where you could gain a lot of experience and obtain equipment and byproducts before returning.

Because the high-level monsters that constantly appear due to accumulated negative energy make the visitors stronger.

Nowadays, it seems like no one comes here because of its peculiar gloomy atmosphere and the terrible ghosts that haunt it.

“Hey. Is this the right place? This place is notorious for ghosts and for being cursed if you enter.”

“That’s right. That’s bad luck.”

The warriors drive Se-hyeok away, showing their displeasure.

Sehyuk answered calmly.

“You ignorant bastards. Since no one came, the treasure must be hidden. Keep your promise. You are a mercenary group. Should I spread the rumor that you are untrustworthy?”

The mercenaries gritted their teeth at those words, but followed Sehyuk without saying anything.

Enter the cave.

It is a dark cave like a hole drilled into a rugged rock.

Walk through the cave.

“It’s so cold here?”

A warrior strokes his exposed forearm.

Although it was clearly a crack in an ordinary rock, the inside was strangely damp and cold.

Crunch!

One of the warriors who had been leaning against the wall looked at his hand with a look of displeasure.

Sehyuk looked carefully.

The warrior’s expression hardened slightly and he frowned.

The warrior’s hands were stained with a strange, bloody mucus.

“Arai.”

Shaking off their hands, the group continued inside.

A corner of a dark cave.

I keep hearing a sobbing sound.

An eerie sound and a cold chill. You continue to move inward, passing through a pit filled with a strange liquid that you occasionally see.

How much time has passed?

The warriors who had been grumbling so much to Sehyuk in the beginning were speechless.

Just anxious

And then, a monster jumps out of the darkness towards them.

“Ugh!”

The warrior in the lead falls.

There’s a monster riding on top of it.

A tiger with its mouth wide open, drooling black liquid instead of saliva.

It was a black tiger with bloodshot eyes.

A warrior who blocks a tiger’s teeth with his arm guard.

“Ugh!”

However, the tiger’s teeth dig deep into the guard.

A dark red liquid flows from the tiger’s teeth and drips onto the arm guard.

As Sehyuk tries to step forward, the warriors following behind jump forward and block Sehyuk.

puck!

The tiger fell down in one blow as the deputy team leader’s heavy fist struck the tiger’s waist.

And then, the rude captain turned around and smiled at Sehyuk.

“You, you’re accompanying me because it’s an order. If not, I would have released the man and killed him right away. Stay behind and guide me well.”

The face of the fierce deputy manager.

It seems like they are trying to keep Se-hyeok in check or something.

It seems that Se-hyuk dodging his punch at the inn was quite a blow to his pride.

“Yeah. Even so, you lost to me. You attacked with all your might, but you couldn’t hit me, right? I hit you.”

Sehyuk is not one to miss that point.

The deputy manager grumbles, as if he can’t control his anger.

There is a lively spark in his eyes.

The deputy manager speaks in a suppressed voice.

“If you fail to obtain it, you will be killed by us first.”

Then he raises the fallen warrior and continues on his way.

There is no contempt like this contempt.

Naturally, Sehyuk couldn’t tolerate this kind of treatment.

But to be open about it is a low-level measure.

Even if you try to argue about it, it will just be ignored.

Sehyuk laughed it off with the mercy of the one who was the inspector and decided to just do what he had to do.

Then they’ll know who they’ve been messing with.

Sehyuk immediately sat down on the floor.

“Hey, you punk, what are you doing?”

Harsh tone.

But Sehyuk pretended not to hear.

Sehyuk was now sitting on the floor, collecting the monster’s byproducts.

And that too with a very slow and delicate touch.

“Do you dare to waste our time?”

The warriors began to surround Sehyuk and emit an ominous aura.

But Sehyuk just glanced at them and focused on the corpse again, annoyingly.

As if they don’t care about people like you.

“Look. According to the captain, I’m basically hiring you guys.”

“No, you’re just a debtor.”

“Shut up. I only said I’d show you guys the way to the places where there’s money to be made. I never said I wouldn’t take the byproducts.”

Sehyuk continued to eat the corpse to the end, despite receiving murderous looks.

And he repeated that behavior.

When the warriors kill a monster, they very slowly dismember the corpse and put it in a bag.

When one of the unbearable warriors stepped on the corpse and broke it, he took his time, being even slower and more thorough in picking out the good ones.

The warriors, who could no longer stand to watch, ignored the monsters and tried to run.

But Sehyuk follows them slowly, as if he is barely moving.

“Oh my~ I’m a rookie so I can’t run fast~”

Avoid and fight against monsters one by one.

Sehyuk was even more stubborn and wasted time.

Eventually the warriors had to come and face the monster.

“Ah, my shoulders are sore. I’m a newbie so I’m really tired. Should I rest?”

Leaving those words behind, Sehyuk took out the sunglasses and neck pillow he had prepared for resting, and lay down on the floor.

His attitude was so joyful, as if he were on vacation.

And he didn’t forget to tease the fierce warriors.

“Huh? Why are you acting like you’re going to kill me? I clearly said I would go somewhere dangerous. But the proud warriors of the mercenary group can’t even endure that kind of danger?”

The warriors could not hold back and shouted.

“Isn’t that because you’re wasting time with your foolish ways?”

Sehyuk pretended not to hear those words and turned around to lie down.

“I don’t know, I don’t know~ If I die here, won’t your reputation be tarnished? Because you couldn’t properly carry out even one task that the captain asked you to do?”

And Sehyuk looked at them with a sly smile.

“People of the world~ The vice-captain of the mercenary group left the client to die while on a mission~ Wow, how stupid and incompetent must the vice-captain and the five people directly under the vice-captain have to be to do that? Isn’t that right, the vice-captain of the great mercenary group?”

The warriors were so angry that they couldn’t even respond.

Because every word Sehyuk said was correct without a single mistake.

Their pride in being strong warriors was holding them back.

Sehyuk knew their psychology well.

“Yeah, you said Lee Se-hyuk. I’m sorry, please let’s just go. I’m putting both hands and feet up.”

Sehyuk swallowed the words in his head, ‘One of you is bald, so he probably can’t lift his feet.’

It seems to have been passed on to Choi Sung-hyun.

“You should have done that a long time ago.”

Sehyuk, who had silenced the mouths of those arrogant warriors, led them out of the cave.

As we exited the dungeon, surprisingly, a mountaintop covered in clouds appeared.

It is a rocky cliff path with sparse grass and vines growing here and there.

I clearly entered a cave leading down from the top of a small hill.

A mountain path with a steep cliff at the bottom, and as you continue along the path you will climb the cliff.

And the hidden element Se-hyeok is looking for is not on the road, but on the steep cliff below.

“What are you doing that is so dangerous?”

Ignoring the captain’s words, Sehyuk carefully felt his way down the cliff.

My hands brush against the jagged rocks on the cliff.

If you touch the grooves hidden between the rocks here in a certain way, hidden things will be revealed.

“Found it.”

And Sehyuk jumped down the cliff.

The captain was startled at the sight and ducked down off the cliff.

“Are you trying to run away?”

The guild’s warriors only worry about their money being stolen, not their lives, even when people fall.

But instead of falling down the cliff, Sehyuk was standing on the road unharmed.

In the meantime, a hidden path leading downwards had appeared on the cliff.

“It’s a hidden path. You have to meet certain conditions, so don’t just think about falling.”

Sehyuk led his warriors down the hidden path.

As we continued down, at the end was another huge cliff.

Oddly enough, there was a large Chinese character carved into the cliff.

“Shinsen-ro. It means the road of the immortals.”

“I don’t care about that kind of thing. Do you have that powerful thing here?”

“That’s not it.”

And Sehyuk stood in front of the cliff.

If you get closer, you can see two torches hanging on the cliff with the letters between them.

Sehyuk picked up the torch on the right.

“That’s all there is to see here. Let’s go back.”

The warriors looked suspicious, but said nothing and continued on their way.

“How do you use that torch?”

“Wait a minute. I’ll show you soon.”

They soon reached the original cliff path.

And instead of quickening his pace, Sehyuk stood in front of the cliff.

A high cliff that is so flat that it is impossible to climb.

Sehyuk shined a torch on the rock face.

Then, by the light of the torch, what had been hidden inside the cliff is gradually revealed.

The rock face of the mountain, which had clearly been firmly established, slowly becomes blurred.

A wall that at one moment became completely transparent and disappeared.

Soon, a new, shadowy cave appeared between the rocks.

“There was nothing when I touched it earlier.”

“So, it’s a hidden element. Just go inside. You guys continue to lead.”

The warriors, grumbling, go ahead into the cave.

“It feels like a temple or a training center.”

The warriors look around.

As the saying goes, the cave was a structure like a building carved out of rock.

Just like at the entrance to the hill, black mucus was sticking here and there like moss and dripping down.

Most of the pillars carved from rock were worn away and crumbling, and some were even broken.

A group walking in silence.

The warriors’ faces gradually darken.

It was because I felt an ominous and terrifying magic that became thicker and more terrifying the deeper I went.

“This is the destination. It won’t be difficult. From here on out, all you have to do is fight. Do you believe me?”

After saying that, Sehyuk hurried on his way.

I must have walked down a few hundred old spiral stone steps.

Finally, the group reached the end of the cave.

At the end of the road was a heavy iron gate.

An old iron gate, with mucus flowing out from underneath.

The mercenary unit leader bites his lips hard.

I felt intuitively uneasy.

But as if he had made up his mind, he slowly approached the door.

Squeak!

As the two mercenary warriors forcefully opened the door, the large blue door began to move slowly with a creaking sound.
