Episode 155 Secondary sleep phase (3)
Slurp-.
A staircase leading down to the basement revealed behind a gently pushed stone door.
Brad stepped inside the stone gate.
That moment.
thud-.
The stone door that had been opened closed and made a loud noise.
Piyong Piyong-.
The stone gate changed with a strange noise.
It was clearly a stone door, but its color suddenly changed and it took on a metallic luster.
Brad, surprised by the sudden situation, turned around.
His face hardened as he noticed the dark metal door.
‘It’s not an ordinary metal.’
Brad immediately drew his sword.
Then a light blue crystal blade appeared on his sword.
The ultimate spiritual sword of a tier 1 warrior that cuts through everything.
Bred hardened his eyes and swung his sword towards the door.
Kwaang-.
There was a huge explosion and white smoke exploded in all directions.
Inside, Brad was astonished to find a perfectly intact door.
“what!”
A door that didn’t even have a scratch even after being cut with a spiritual sword!
He swung his sword one after another.
Bang- Bang-.
There was a huge explosion, but the metal door was not damaged.
However, every time Bread’s attack hits, the metal door sparkles with light.
After trying for a while, Brad gave up.
At the same time, cold sweat broke out on his back.
‘… ‘It won’t be easy.’
A rumor passed through his mind that no one had returned from the ban alive.
Fear arose, but was quickly consumed by greed.
‘I must…’ ‘I have to get my hands on this place.’
If you can reach the top tier through dungeon exploration, you can overcome this level of difficulty.
Brad, who had once again strengthened his will, had just stepped onto the stairs going down.
A faint light rose in front of Brad.
Surprised, he raised his sword.
“Who are you?”
Brad’s embarrassed voice rang loudly.
What filled his vision was none other than writing.
[What?]
A short text that came to mind.
One sentence was added soon after.
[I came in, right?]
From the text messages that came to mind one after another, Brad got a strange feeling.
It’s clearly a text message, but does it seem like a voice is being heard?
That strange voice that seemed angry yet happy.
As Bread looked at the letters carefully, additional letters came to mind.
[It must have said that outsiders and merchants are prohibited from entering, right?]
[And yet you came in?]
[Aren’t you afraid of the aftermath? Can you handle it?]
[If you are not confident enough, kneel down and shout ‘I was wrong!’ 100 times.]
[Then I will open the door.]
In the text messages that followed in an instant, Brad felt arrogant.
That touched Brad’s judgment.
‘I don’t know how great you are, but are you saying you looked down on this guy?’
Who are you?
It was a frenzy of bread.
Brad didn’t know who the owner of this arrogant dungeon was, but he thought he had chosen the wrong opponent.
With that thought, he took another step.
Then the text came to mind again.
[oh? Are you energetic?]
[With that, the last chance given to you is gone. You idiot.]
Brad frowned at the mocking text.
[welcome. Welcome to Hell!]
Brad swung his sword at the text.
Brad took a deep breath as he saw the sword slice through the air and the letters scatter.
Whoop-.
‘Calm down. In a situation where you don’t know what’s in front of you, unnecessary emotions are poison.’

Like a veteran, Bread easily ignored the ‘provocation of an unknown being.’
He brought back the slightly relieved tension and strengthened his body and mind.
At that time, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
‘But what does welcome to hell mean?’
It was the first time I had ever heard this.
But think about that for a moment.
When there was nothing more to stop him, Brad resumed his stopped steps.
So, step by step, he went down to the basement.
Without even knowing that hell exists there.
* * *
Go back in time a little… … .
Piyong Piyong-.
Valentina was looking at the intruder while listening to the warning sound made by the door that Lois had installed.
Her face was stiff.
“… “How?”
Basically, there was a perception-blocking barrier placed near Genelocker’s lair.
That’s a pretty advanced barrier, too.
Valentina, who believed this, thought that even if humans appeared around Lair for the first time in a long time, they would soon return.
‘He’s quite strong for a human, but he doesn’t seem to have the skills to destroy the barrier.’
As Valentina expected, the human seemed to be leaving any moment.
When she saw that, she thought nothing bad would happen and tried to turn away.
If only the image of her son sleeping soundly hadn’t passed through Valentina’s mind at that moment.
A child who receives a fateful moment.
That’s why his poor son always lives with death by his side.
Recalling what her son experienced during the first stage of sleep, Valentina stopped walking and looked at the human.
How long has it been like that?
Valentina was astonished.
‘how?!’
The human who seemed to be leaving suddenly began acting suspiciously.
Then, I guess he discovered the loophole in the barrier in a completely unexpected way.
After a while, the human stepped into the barrier.
Of course, it was in the passage leading to Lois’ sleeping room.
Goosebumps rose up behind Valentina, who watched the process from beginning to end.
If you didn’t know what Lois went through during the first stage of sleep.
Because of that, you let your guard down and left the place.
That person must have caused problems for Lois.
‘If that really happened… … .’
Was he really able to handle that guilt?
Valentina’s face turned pale just thinking about a future that would never happen.
At that time, darkness suddenly rose next to the frozen Valentina.
The black mass soon transformed into the shape of a generoker.
Sensing an intruder, his face hardened as he saw Brad coming down the stairs.
“You’re an intruder, right?”
“huh… … .”
Valentina nodded.
Generoker muttered with an expression of disbelief.
“How on earth did humans get in here?”
In response to her husband’s doubts, Valentina told him exactly what she had seen.
Generoker heard this and clicked his tongue.
“I didn’t think there would be such a loophole in this barrier.”
I felt like I needed to fix the barrier again.
As Generoker muttered that, his wife’s pale face caught his eye.
“what’s the matter? What’s going on?”
“… … .”
Valentina, slightly hesitant, confessed her true feelings.
Generoker heard this and wrapped his arms around his wife’s shoulders.
“What else can I say? “Why are you suffering over something that didn’t even happen?”
“but… … .”
“Even if you missed the human invasion, I would have noticed. and… … .”
The generoker’s gaze landed on the space where the bread was lowered.
“You know this because you’ve seen it all this time, right? “What kind of place is it?”
Valentina nodded with a slightly brightened face at Generoker’s story.
“but… … .”
Valentina knew too.
I wonder how much effort Lois put into that underground space over the years.
Even if he and Genelocker didn’t know about the intruder’s existence, that person wouldn’t even be able to see Lois’ face.
When his wife seemed to feel a little relieved, Generoker smiled and said,
“But just in case, let’s keep an eye on it.”
“huh.”
From now on there was only one thing for them to do.
The task is to see how long the intruder will survive.
* * *
Brad’s ordeal began when a text message he thought had disappeared reappeared.
[Showtime with Royce!]
[Step 1 START!]
[Mission: It will sting a little!]
More than half of the newly emerged letters had unknown meanings.
But Brad didn’t have time to think deeply about what that meant.
As soon as the text disappeared, arrows flew in from all directions.
Seok-.
On walls, ceilings and even stairs.
A bunch of arrows flew towards Bred.
At this, his eyes hardened and he quickly rushed forward, swinging his sword.
Hung-.
As a rough wind was generated by the elemental power brought up by Brad, the arrow was bent without being able to reach his body.
The moment I broke through and descended dozens of meters.
[oh? Is it pretty good?]
[Then, shall we increase the difficulty level a little?]
[Step 2 START!]
[Mission: Flame Twist!]
As soon as a new letter came to mind, the stairs started shaking.
Drurr-.
Clap, clap, clap.
Soon the ledge of the stairs went down and a steep incline occurred.
Cheeeee-.
Brown liquid flowed from a crack in the slope.
Brad was taken aback by the suddenly slippery slope.
‘This?!’
A smell that stings your nose.
‘It’s oil!’
It was already a steep slope, but it was not easy to maintain balance as it was coated with oil.
Also, the problem didn’t end there.
Whoosh- whoosh- whoosh-.
The arrows that stopped for a moment began to rain down again, and blades protruded from all over the slope.
Brad, slightly nervous, slipped away, avoided the trap, and swung his sword.
This time, it looks like we will break through the second stage without any problem.
The keyboard suddenly rises again.
[Woah!]
As soon as the letters appeared in front of Bread, sparks flew out from the slope.
This transferred to the oil everywhere and quickly ate up the bread.
“Huh!”
The extreme heat made it difficult to breathe, and cold sweat broke out.
There were arrows and blades raining down from all directions.
As the trap was frantically activated, Brad’s movements became more violent, and one or two knives accidentally grazed his body.
Grumbling-.
Shusss-.
Traps were activated repeatedly, but none of them seriously injured Brad.
The moment when Brad was quickly going down the slope.
[Still alive?]
[Then let’s move on to the next step?]
[Step 3 START!]
[Mission: Damn Twins!]
As the letter board disappeared, water gushed out from the walls and floor.
‘What is this again?’
As the fire died down in the pouring water, Brad wondered.
‘You’re destroying the trap you created so well?’
While he was wondering that question, the water that had risen had already reached his ankles.
Putting his doubts aside, Brad ran out.
‘I don’t know what else will come out this time… ‘You just have to get out of here!’
Brad thought that there wouldn’t be much danger as long as he could get out of the sloping hallway that was blocked on both sides.
He increased his speed even faster.
And as if reading Bread’s thoughts, the keyboard came to mind again.
[Go! Thunder Twinmon!]
As soon as the keyboard appeared, Brad heard an eerie sound.
Pajik-.
“S-No way?!”
As the sound rang in his ears, he increased his elemental power to its full potential.
As soon as that happened, lightning rained down from all directions.
Pajijijik-.
“Kaaaaak!”
Even though he was protecting his body with elemental power, he could not remain intact in the thunderstorm that filled every direction.
‘Woah, we have to get out of here!’
Brad gritted his teeth and moved forward.
A situation where just moving forward, one step at a time, is painful.
Nevertheless, Brad continued to advance tenaciously.
How much time has passed since then?
Brad escaped the stairwell and fell to the floor.
“Hehe… … .”
Any decent person would have been electrocuted by the electric shock that occurred in the narrow passageway, but Bread, who was in Tier 1, withstood even this.
I was in quite a bit of pain and had burns here and there, but it wasn’t enough to kill me.
“Cough!”
Brad, breathing hard, coughed and raised his upper body.
He came to his senses and looked around.
‘This place… … ?’
What appeared at the end of the stairs was a very large empty space.
The space appears to be hundreds of pyeong at best.
As Brad was looking around, the keyboard came to mind without fail.
