Apocalypse Reconquest Chapter 115

Episode 115

Inside the iron gate was a sinister cave that seemed to be the last.

“Ugh, it smells.”

The warrior holds his nose.

The ceiling of the cave was completely covered in mucus.

Dark red mucus flowing down the walls from the ceiling.

In one corner, mucus drips onto the floor, making a dripping sound.

A closer look at the mucus-stained floor reveals an old grass mat.

Here and there, wooden ornaments stood out, soaked in mucus and dyed a dark red.

It’s like an underground cave temple in the East.

It’s a landscape that looks like it’s been overturned by a serious curse.

In front of them was another old, rusted iron gate.

And on both sides, strange animal-shaped stone statues stand guard over the road.

“Once you break all those statues, the fight will begin. There are some pretty strong monsters inside, so be careful.”

“Huh. Do you think we’re cowards like you? Let’s go!”

As if to prove their commander’s confidence, the warriors quickly destroyed the stone statues.

But it turns out that their confidence was just arrogance.

Kkieeeeeeee!

The door opens automatically to either side.

It was a rusty, metal-like sound, almost like a high-pitched scream.

The inside of the door was darker and more eerie than before.

Suddenly, Sehyuk felt an ominous feeling as he looked inside.

It was almost like a disaster for the colony.

“Hey. I think it would be better not to approach me carelessly.”

However, they did not listen to Sehyuk at the crucial moment.

Ignoring Sehyuk’s words, the warriors rush into the door like a flood.

And here is where the change happened.

Shhh!

A cracking sound heard when a sharp object cuts through the air.

With that sound, blood spurts out from the body of the warrior in the lead.

“what!”

The voice of the captain.

And before the voice could even finish, the warrior behind him fell to the ground.

A warrior who fell with one blow.

Blood is flowing out of his body.

“Oh, crazy! What is this!”

“Retreat! Retreat for now!”

The warriors, gripped by fear, leapt out of the iron gate, dragging their comrades with them.

Sehyuk also couldn’t help but be amazed at the scenery.

Mercenaries who trained their bodies consistently and considered physical strength a virtue.

The body of the warrior who had trained endlessly and eventually acquired a body stronger than others was cut like a piece of paper.

‘It wasn’t originally this difficult?’

That it can inflict wounds on the mercenaries’ bodies.

That means something happened in this dungeon.

Again, like the previous colony disaster.

‘This is, as expected, the boss has changed.’

Although it was annoying, the confidence that the deputy commander showed earlier was not misplaced.

From the beginning, Sehyuk had calculated that he could easily clear it with these warriors.

‘Considering the theme of this dungeon, that guy’s identity is… .’

Sehyuk raised his head and checked the dungeon boss approaching.

It was as expected.

Boom! Boom!

The boss slowly approaches them, emitting a blast of energy that makes the ground shake.

And then, I stop right in front of the iron gate inside the iron gate and look at them.

It looks like he’s not going outside the iron gate.

Sehyuk knows.

It’s true that the reason he does that is because of the ban.

But another reason is that he knows that if he stays in this area, Sehyuk and his group will die and become his sacrifice.

Because time is on the tiger’s side even if you don’t do anything.

The sinister magic that the bastard exudes makes Sehyuk’s whole body tremble.

I feel like the hair on my body is standing on end and my blood vessels are drying up.

In fact, their life force, parts of their bodies, would be slowly melting away. Due to the damp atmosphere.

It was a force that made even Sehyuk, who had strong will, want to turn around and run away at any moment.

If Sehyuk is like this, there’s no need to even mention the warriors.

They were all breathing heavily in fear.

The warriors were all looking for a way out behind them.

Mercenaries pounding madly on the iron gate they had seen for the first time.

They all look like they’re in a state of panic.

“Vice-Chief! The iron door we came through is blocked!”

“Vice-Chief… Team Leader… Captain… Please save me… I have a child waiting for me at home…”

Some of the guys look back at their vice-captain with pale faces.

As if I was holding on to the last straw to solve the problem.

Naturally, their vice-president was unable to resolve the situation either.

Sehyuk looked at the tiger that had stopped slowly.

A tiger with unfocused eyes.

His massive body, which must be three meters tall, is packed with muscle.

‘The boss here was originally a stone statue just like that. It looks like the seal has been broken.’

That’s a fallen sage who is in the process of becoming a beast. He was once a god and a ghost.

Originally, this was a training cave where people served the immortals, including the tiger immortal, and trained to become immortals.

However, Taoism and the Way are the paths.

Once you deviate from the path, it becomes uncontrollable.

This cave is a cursed shrine that has become corrupted by such twisted laws.

Fresh.

The existence of a demigod.

Sehyuk is a monster that even he cannot guarantee a complete victory over when facing off against.

You can win.

But at least one arm. In severe cases, half of the body may have to be given up.

That can’t be.

Fortunately, Sehyuk had seen that monster before his regression.

‘I have to think. How to win.’

The fallen tiger sage is frozen stiff and just looks this way.

‘It can’t be mucus.’

“Fuck… we’re all going to die… .”

Forgetting what to say to Se-hyeok, the deputy manager was shaking in fear, holding his head.

Even though he was the deputy commander who had been persecuting Sehyuk by showing off his strength, his face had turned pale.

Sehyuk could tell.

That’s fear.

That you must be hostile to those who are stronger than you.

This is a stark contrast to the arrogance shown towards Se-hyeok, whom they considered to be of the same level or lower than them.

‘Strong, weak, weak. It’s really ugly.’

Sehyuk smiled as he looked at the sight.

‘That’s why they remain at the bottom. They have no will to challenge themselves and don’t properly follow the path that someone else has paved.’

Phew!

With that in mind, Sehyuk punched the deputy commander in the face.

“What, what is it!”

“Get up. I brought you here, so I take responsibility.”

At those words, the deputy commander grabs Se-hyeok by the collar and lifts him up.

“Yeah, yeah. Well said. Damn, we’re all going to die because of you! You said it was something we could do! Why did you do something like that…?”

“Be quiet. If you don’t want to get left behind, follow me. Otherwise, just stay here and leave.”

Even in this situation, Sehyuk’s eyes are numb and just trying to find a way out.

Looking at those eyes, the deputy commander was speechless and then lowered his head.

“Even if 20 of our elite soldiers rush in, there’s no way to attack him. How can you defeat him with just six people?”

A deputy commander who keeps saying unlucky things.

Sehyuk wanted to hit the guy’s head one more time, but held back.

“What would you do if you could?”

“what?”

“What if you know the strategy? If you know the existence of these hidden elements and hidden spaces, wouldn’t you also know the strategy to overthrow a sage like that?”

The deputy commander, who was looking at Se-hyeok as if speechless, gritted his teeth.

“Okay. What should I do?”

“The 20-man battle style that your mercenary group often used was a long-term battle based on strong and heavy bodies. It was like several people tying up the monster’s feet and reducing its stamina to kill it. That’s the correct way. But this time, we need to break the mold.”

And Sehyuk told the deputy commander all the information he knew about the monster.

Countless stories poured out of Sehyuk’s mouth that could not have been known by just listening to someone or looking it up.

The deputy commander had no choice but to keep his mouth shut after hearing those words.

“…Okay. This time, I’ll believe you.”

After a while.

Five warriors who heard Sehyuk’s words took their stance in front of the rusty iron gate.

The warriors’ faces are still filled with anxiety.

“Captain. Can I trust what he says?”

“Because you have to lose to win.”

As he said those words, the captain’s whole body was covered in flames.

The deputy commander is a person who literally uses ‘fire fists’.

Mercenary Team 2 had many people who used relatively diverse abilities compared to other teams in the mercenary group.

It may be because the personality of the vice-captain of the mercenary group, who is the team leader, has developed to fill the captain’s simplicity with intelligence.

And the fact that he had other abilities besides melee combat really helped this time.

“Put the pressure down!”

The flames that had engulfed the captain’s entire body shot out like a whirlwind.

Kwak- Kwaang!

The fireball passed over where the Tiger Sage was and exploded on the ground.

A fallen tiger sage who remained unmoved by the warriors’ attacks.

He rolls backwards to dodge flame attacks.

“Oh, oh!”

“You idiot, did you really know?”

This was all Sehyuk’s doing as well.

Sehyuk is the only one who knows the answer.

That’s nothing more than a sage’s shell.

The cloth tied around that guy’s waist.

That is the medium that corrupted the sages and destroyed their spirits.

If you look closely at the surface of the cloth, you can see that.

It is engraved with a spell created by grinding together several vengeful spirits.

Anyone without mental endurance will be struck just by looking at that cloth.

So he ordered the explosion.

Attacks over a large area are difficult to protect against with the cloth.

That’s why it has no choice but to be avoided.

Rather than pressing down with force, understand the monster’s habits and background and exploit its weaknesses.

It also connects with the secrets of swordsmanship.

The reason why Sehyuk doesn’t necessarily cut the cloth is simple.

Because if it weren’t for him, none of us could stop that corrupted tiger sage.

Euaaaah!

As we step back from the door, the warriors rush back into the iron gate.

The deputy commander and Se-hyeok also enter the door together.

The method to defeat him with a small number of people is simple.

Except for one person, the rest focus solely on inducing the monster’s movements and enduring its attacks.

And the only thing left is to tear the cloth.

Following Sehyuk’s instructions, the warriors cornered the tiger sage like cattle.

The blazing fists of the captain and the various martial arts techniques of his subordinate warriors are directed at the tiger.

They strangely followed this newbie’s words and couldn’t help but feel that their attacks had become more sophisticated.
