58. The unforgivable underdog

“Such a mean fellow. Did you dare to punch Master?”

“Sorry. Execution. I have nothing to say.”

As soon as he finally found Iris, Gerard was furious.

He also saw that Iris immediately punched him as soon as he ran into me.

It was only natural to get angry at Iris, who had come to her senses because of that.

“I know you always want to fight with Master! But it’s already been over two months since you went missing. That’s what Master was trying to find for you as he left for his residence!”

“Wait a minute, the death penalty. It’s been two months? Nonsense. That….”

“It’s true. Senior Iris. Even if you take everything off, you’ve been lost here for a month.”

Iris sneaks up to help Gerard.

Then Iris tilted her head and stared at her.

“Oh, aren’t you that kid? Why are you here?”

“I am not a kid. I am now a full-fledged disciple of Master.”

“Disciple? Wait for a sec. So you’re the youngest now?”

“Yes, Iris. This guy is the youngest. It’s been a little over a year since I accepted you as my disciple.”

“Wasn’t Esther the end? Of course I thought so. Esther just complained about not wanting to hand over the maknae position. Even a guy who doesn’t even express emotions is crying and blowing.”

“… It did. Come to think of it, it was.”

The seventh disciple, Esther Marigold, who was negative and even sullen.

If there was one thing that guy was actively involved in, it was the ‘maknae position’.

He was so timid that he couldn’t even ask for a favor.

One day, he even told me not to accept any more disciples other than himself.

Ester’s change was a bit strange and surprising.

So I suddenly had a playfulness and said this without even realizing it.

I can’t guarantee that. If you find a guy with the fate of a hero.

At that time, he had no choice but to recruit new disciples.

‘… Black! Whoops! aaa!!’

What came back to my words wasn’t Esther’s dull expression.

Crying that I have never seen before while being under me as a disciple.

It was the expression of that intense emotion with all its might.

Thanks to you, you don’t know how embarrassed I was that day.

Looking at the game setting, Esther Marigold, the hero of poison, hardly expresses emotion.

Even the attached title is Umyeong, which means darkness and shadow.

It is as dark and dull as that, and has no color of its own.

And according to the setting, Esther never laughed or cried while she was by my side.

There wasn’t even a frown on his face or even a slight smile.

However, I heard that a guy like that could bring in new disciples.

He wailed loudly when he heard that his youngest position could be taken away.

“I apologize to Master, but I am a little worried.”

“Thank you so much for emphasizing a fact I forgot, Iris.”

I’m sure Esther got the news that I came down.

And like the rest of his students, he will come to see me.

At that time, I was worried about what would happen if I met Iris.

“….”

Fortunately, it’s the first time for me.

For Iris, this is by no means the first time.

When I looked at Iris, did he even feel my gaze?

“Heh.”

Iris looks at me and smiles wide.

It wasn’t the stupid smile she usually had, but a smile that meant not to worry.

It seemed like he already knew what I was worried about.

After all, no matter how stupid a disciple is, a regressor is a regressor.

By all means, she thought that Iris would do well.

“Iris.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Tell me about the situation. How the hell did you even come here? When I came in, there were no traces of monsters or monsters at all. How did you get here and what else happened before that?”

“That… hmm….”

Iris scratches her head and puts on an annoyed expression.

Looking at it, it seemed that there was something similar to Garam.

I interrupted by saying that I was a follower of the warriors.

The real identity is none other than the b*tches who were the culprits of disgusting bastards.

“It seems that you have been tricked properly.”

“I have nothing to say. Actually, I moved after receiving a tip from a local.”

“Did you say that the worshipers of the demons are hiding underground and preparing for some kind of ritual?”

“What is it? How did you know? Do you know exactly?!”

“It’s obvious. Otherwise, there would be no way to come down to the basement like this.”

How did the demon worshipers find such a trap in the ancient kingdom?

If you think about it, the answer is surprisingly easy and quick.

They must have been looking everywhere to find a place where they could secretly gather.

And you must have found this huge cavity on the edge of the West by chance.

However, this place was too dangerous even if dangerous for such a secret gathering place.

A place where not only Iris but also Master and I couldn’t escape properly.

I’m sure it wouldn’t have been any different for demon worshipers.

Perhaps those who entered never come out again and continue to wander.

It seems that these guys were trying to take advantage of the fact that the investigation team couldn’t return.

Perhaps it was intended to operate the entire underground as a trap dedicated to the great hero.

With the intention of burying the hero and his followers all at once.

In fact, the operation almost succeeded.

No, he must have already had a track record of success.

Caught in their trap, let alone Iris.

It’s clear that everyone, including Master and I, has been cut off from the force.

Because of that, there will be such a future that the other students have suffered a lot for a while.

Because I know that, Iris must have done it so quickly.

“You got a good shot at the drunken worshippers.”

“I’m sorry. I’m dull in this way.”

It’s Iris who doesn’t know anything other than going straight.

If it had been the other disciples, they would have anticipated the trap and sent an advance party.

From Iris’ point of view, she must have thought that it was a trap and that it would be enough to break everything.

If she had been another trap, she would have been able to do that.

The problem is that this place was not just a trap, but a huge ‘prison’ in the ancient kingdom.

It was not something that could be pushed through forcefully.

“It has been done. I didn’t notice at all and this was really unexpected.”

This is the problem with the ancient kingdom part.

Even in the game, I received a lot of swearing because of the level of difficulty that goes back and forth.

And even here, it was a dangerous place where not only the warrior but also the Heavenly Demon couldn’t escape.

Fortunately, once you experience something like this, you can deal with it more proactively next time.

Assuming it was a good experience, it was possible to cover it to some extent.

“By the way, Master.”

Suddenly, Iris opened her mouth quietly.

“This is a very strange and wonderful place, right?”

“… Not really. Except for that eerie mist.”

“Then, wouldn’t there be something great if we went further inside?”

The ancient kingdom serves as a kind of dungeon that drops mysterious items.

However, there were many times when all of the items were bad, so the efficiency was not very good.

At that time, it would have been more beneficial to create an item through pure production.

However, crafting equipment or strengthening using magic stones is not as easy as in the game.

That’s why I dared to find the secret merchant right away.

Garam’s sword, Xenia’s spear, Daisy’s staff and Gerard’s shield.

Iris’ arm guard, Lily’s necklace, and Esther’s dagger.

All of them were weapons from the ancient kingdom that I carefully selected.

I almost lost my eyes trying to pick them out without adding a joke.

Secret merchants, because those goblins don’t always ask for good things.

Rather, it was only natural that ninety-nine out of a hundred people had asked for dog poop.

“I’m sure I heard that, Master.”

“Do you want to go further? I don’t feel any strong energy.”

Gerard agrees and Iris responds that he doesn’t like it.

Master, you don’t pay much attention to these things, so let’s pass it on.

In the end, I thought it would be up to me to make a decision and make a decision this time too.

“Let’s go. Now that you’ve come in like this, shouldn’t you go all the way?”

It’s the same with coming to this hot place.

I was caught in a f*cking trap and went through that hardship.

It’s too waste of time to just go up without gaining anything.

In addition, the demon fragments appeared much faster than expected.

Although it cannot be said that the effect of an item is absolute.

Still, it would be much better than fighting with your bare hands.

I was in the middle of making a decision and moving with the doubled number of people.

“Master. I hear another chuckle ahead of me.”

“… Disciple.”

“I felt it too. It seems that the passengers who came here first.”

“What should I do, Master?”

“What? I dared to bring you here, so I should greet you personally.”

After my permission was granted, Iris smirked and gave a terrifying smile.

Then, a martial warrior who repeats lightly squeezing and straightening his hands.

Wood deuk in her hand! A creepy sound is heard.

“Iris.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Kill, save, or maim is all good.”

“So what?”

“Do not spill the contents inside. I am there, and your Taesabu is also there.”

“I want to do that too, but I can’t help it if they are weak.”

“Isn’t there something I taught you in preparation for such a time?”

“… Are you saying that Master’s skills are only being used on those little ants?”

Iris’s expression immediately distorted.

A technique that gathers one’s energy all at once and shakes the inside.

It was a slight change of the fa-kyung taught by the master.

I specially devised it for Iris, but when I told them to use it, they reacted like that.

But I wonder if he also judged that there was no other option besides that number.

Iris, nodding her head as if to know soon, slowly approaches the drunken worshipers.

“Turn it off… uh, this is….”

“Where is it? It’s in the middle of hell.”

Tooung!-

Puck! Ina Kwajik! I didn’t hear any ugly noises like that.

Iris’s fist pierces the body of the worshipers who just drank lightly.

However, the results were neither light nor pleasant.

From noble mtl dot com

Drunk worshipers, whoops! They fell one by one with a scream.

I was able to get out of the fog and enjoy life again.

To the fighting hero who wasted his time fooled by their tricks.

One by one, one by one, they lost their lives miserably to Mu Geuk, who looked like he couldn’t see in front of his teacher.

“Disgusting weaklings. If you are weak, you should think about becoming strong. You roll your head like this.”

“Knock!”

“Quietly, quietly, if you are weak, die like an idiot like a weakling.”

Perhaps Iris is quite far from the word ‘hero’.

Starting with the dichotomy of thoroughly dividing the strong and the weak.

He’s a really dangerous guy, even to the point where he thinks he has to pay the price if he’s weak.

Even so, if Iris Freesia asks why I am a warrior and not a villain.

Because there were many demon worshipers among those who tried to make up for their weaknesses in other ways.

“Doesn’t even struggle to become strong, just leans on God, leans on the sky, and hopes for a miracle. The weak who don’t work hard die like this.”

Iris’ fist rises slowly again.

“For those who want to become stronger by shedding blood and sweat every day.”
