I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

Episode 66. The hell that good and capable people go to

Scop, the warrior in charge of the party’s vanguard, was feeling unfair about the current situation.

All he did was finish work and gamble at a bar when the warrior Dotae approached him and made him an offer.

It seemed like it would be difficult to find a party, so I asked for equal pay just in case, and even he accepted and thought it was okay…

‘There’s no such thing as luck…. Why did I come to the dungeon…… !’

“There is no answer.”

Even the wizard who jumped out without thinking in such a situation has now turned into an undead without her help, and the person who killed her began to move her limp steps towards herself, who was surrounded by the undead. .

It’s as if he thought he couldn’t escape from here anyway, so he would just roast himself in isolation as he wished.

“They say silence is positivity. “Then, can I apply for admission right away?”

“Please save me!!”

Scope finally screams and sits down on his knees.

When it comes to vanguards, they tend to be strong enough to take on the enemy’s attacks with their bodies, but the opponent is a being with a presence that can completely destroy even such strong spirit.

Everything he touches comes to life in an instant, and the magic that spreads along with it forces his withered body to rise, making it impossible for him to find freedom even in death.

“Giggles, please save me. You’re saying something funny. “When you say that, don’t you think I tried to kill you?”

Gorgon, the knight of famine, laughs humorously as if the fear he feels is funny.

He immediately lowered his gaunt body, quietly brought himself to eye level with Scope, and began to show off.

“I just need my assistant, so there’s no need to be so scared. Or is there really a reason why you shouldn’t accept my offer?”

“Well, over there. “I mean, that’s it.”

“Tell me. “As much as I wander the world to learn about it, I have time to listen to those who have my eyes set on it.”

Gorgon gives me some composure in the face of confusion.

At those words, Scope seemed to have found some hope, and the corners of his mouth drenched in cold sweat began to gradually lift.

‘Surely I can survive…?’

The atmosphere also has a certain level of kindness.

At least as long as you please him, he seems to be able to show mercy to the extent of not killing him right away.

“Well, that. Actually, I have a sick mother at home…….”

“Hmm, I see. “Are you saying there is a sick mother at home?”

“Yes, yes. He is someone I have to take care of, and I have to use the reward after completing this mission to pay for medicine to take care of my mother…….”

It’s a lie.

For someone who invests the profits he earned as an adventurer in gambling, there is nothing he needs to protect.

“This young man is more amazing than I thought.”

But the other person does not know the truth of what I am saying, so as long as his heart is moved by this lie, he will be able to survive.

The Knight of Famine’s hand quickly began to fly towards the neck of Scope, who had such hope.

“We can’t just send such a kind young man away! “Because you had such a good idea, I will kindly take you to graduate school!”

“Yes, yes!? Now, wait… …. “aaah!”

Jangseong’s body where all the nutrients from the body are sucked out.

Soon, the lifeless body convulsed on the spot, stood up helplessly, and began to flail on the spot.

“No problem. Wouldn’t it be beneficial to the world if kind-hearted talents like you enter graduate school? “Don’t worry mother, she will be able to work regardless of her illness if she comes to graduate school with you.”

For the development of the world, we do not hesitate to embrace the good and the sick.

The gaze of the Gorgon, who believed that such philosophy was correct, began to turn to the monk who was trembling and watching the situation.

“Then what’s next… ….”

“aaa!”

However, no matter how much he becomes an adventurer for training, he is mentally pushed to his limits just by facing the great disaster known as the Knight of Famine.

He finally felt that his faith was collapsing, so he ran away like crazy and started screaming towards the person he served.

“Thank God! Stop this ordeal! “I haven’t found anyone who will accept me yet, so I can’t die like this!”

“You’re thinking dirty thoughts about serving God! That won’t work, I’ll take you to my graduate school and fix your mind!”

“Kwaaa!!”

Abraham, a monk, was caught by the fast-flying knight of famine and was deprived of food.

In the end, he looked like the two people who had died before him, and began to scream in pain in front of Gorgon, who had become his master.

“Okay then, kid. “It’s your turn next.”

Ignoring even those cries, the next target was the hero Lee Garam.

A young girl who is too immature to shoulder the responsibility that comes with her natural strength.

“Hey, hey!”

For such a fragile being, the current situation was unbearable.

“You’re shaking. “Are you afraid of me?”

“Ooh, ah. Ahhh… ….”

“hehehehe, there’s no need to be afraid, kid. “Fear is an emotion that arises from not knowing.”

Fear.

It is a feeling that has no meaning to a dead person like him.

In the end, fear is about not letting down your guard by creating a sense of crisis at the grim prospect of not being able to protect yourself.

“So don’t worry too much. If you accept my hand, I will personally give you the opportunity to overcome that fear.”

The moment when a hand with the power of famine stretches out to preach such enlightenment.

Even when it was approaching right in front of her, the girl couldn’t do anything due to fear and fatigue and could only tremble on the spot.

Yes, everything will end right here.

-Pow!!

The moment I was struck with such despair, an explosion of alcohol broke in and crushed the undead blocking the entrance.

As the surprised girl and Gorgon turned their gaze towards the exit, they saw a black afterimage holding an elongated weapon running towards them.

-Pow boom, boom!! Wow!!!

Undead torn apart by a fierce blow.

Even the undead golem, which belatedly faced the situation, collapsed through cracks in its body the moment it was exposed to the magical power of the spear thrown at its head before swinging its fist.

“What, what…?” ….”

-Pow!!

The spear blade is thrust into the embarrassed Gorgon’s open mouth.

As the explosion of magical power that followed shattered the head, a young man in black armor who burst into the scene quickly stretched out his hand toward Garam.

“Hold hands.”

“Huh, huh?”

“Catch it quickly! “I have to run away!”

It’s a familiar face.

No, beyond that, a face I have never forgotten….

“Ho, go alone. Because I’m fine… ….”

But is it because the situation is urgent?

Before awakening the emotions he felt from that presence, Garam could not help but pay more attention to the fact that his legs were feeling weak.

Yes, if you hold the hand of the person who came to save you here, the number of deaths will only increase from one person to two.

“Don’t say nonsense. “If I just break through here, I’m not in the middle of nowhere, so how am I supposed to get out of here by myself?”

But he didn’t come here to save her just because of her good intentions.

No matter how much he had the ability to avoid danger against the undead, he had guessed from dealing with the undead that occupied this place that even that was not perfect.

He could not force his way out of the dungeon on his own, as he could not even paralyze the actions of a being that had a certain degree of ego or was directly controlled by a higher being.

– Toad, toad.

That is why I had previously considered killing the higher being.

Even though the opponent’s head was blown off, he was raising his body by regenerating the fragments as if it had never happened before.

“Heehee, this is so… …. “You are being so cruel to someone you meet for the first time.”

This is a natural result.

Undead are beings who were originally revived from death.

Unless there is a miracle given by God, it is not easy to get rid of the strange magical power that keeps them in this world, and destroying the vessel that contains that magical power is also not permitted for beings with great power.

“Young man, why do you want to take the person I have my eye on?”

Gorgon, the knight of famine, who shows such status insignificantly.

The man, who felt a bit frightened by the sight of him not losing his composure even when his head was blown off, looked back at him and gave an ambiguous smile.

“… “I’m sorry, but I’m his guardian.”

“Oh, I see. “You mean a guardian?”

The opponent can kill as many people as he wants, but if there is a reason for not killing him, he must take advantage of that.

The man who had met many such beings so far tried to engage in conversation as if seeking the possibility of persuading him.

“Then let me make a suggestion to you, the guardian. Would you please leave the girl you protect to me? I’ll take him to my graduate school and teach him what he needs to survive in the world…….”

“Ah, yes. Since we live in an academic society, it would be good to get a master’s degree.”

If you just keep your wits about you and please everyone, you will be able to survive somehow.

Even if the other person is an eccentric person who is far from a normal way of thinking, the more he is confined to his own world, the greater the effect of fitting in there.

“… But I’m sorry, Professor, this kid hasn’t even graduated from middle school yet.”

“What?”

“Isn’t it too early to say she’s putting a kid in graduate school who hasn’t even graduated from high school yet?”

A man who roughly read the geek’s mood and gave the best answer he could.

After that, I looked at him without showing it, and I began to see him blinking his eyes, even though it was just the skin sticking to his skull.

“Uh, um. Is it?”

It works.

Because they are obsessed with exploration, persuasion that points out their blind spots works.

“Yes, that’s right. In the first place, not everyone goes to research institutions like graduate schools, right? So, why don’t you send this kid back for now and make another offer later when he’s older and the time is right?”

“Hmm, well. I can’t help it. “You shouldn’t subject a promising dreamer to too much hardship from the start.”

Yes, it is working much better than expected.

He hoped that they would just let this erratic flow pass by, but he held the hand of the fallen Garam, hiding his impatience, and prepared to leave.

“Okay, then we’ll end…” ….”

“Wait a moment, young man.”

What the f*ck.

He barely swallowed the curse welling up inside him and looked back at him without showing it.

“Hey, what is your name?”

It’s not that I’m displeased.

His attention just shifted from the girl he couldn’t target yet to himself.

“Oh, yes. My name is Woo Hyo-seong.”

“Woohyo… ?”

“No, not Woohyo, but Woohyo… ….”

“Oh, I see, you were Woohyo?”

Even though it was an invitational meeting, Gorgon let out an exclamation as if he recognized him.

The Knight of Famine, smiling with his tattered mouth, began to look at his face, resting his chin.

“Now that I think about it, the death knight remembered your name particularly impressively. “I vaguely remembered that name when I heard it. Is it you?”

“… “Did you hear about me from that person?”

“There is no need to hear it. “We undead have a habit of sharing some of the most intense memories we have under the monarch’s protection.”

That’s why the undead he saw for the first time recognized his existence and looked back on their memories.

Of course, for a being with an ego, it is just one of the memories, so unlike the undead who are faithful only to their instincts, their actions are not blocked by being buried in those memories.

“But, this is the first time I’ve seen that stubborn dethroned person remember the living so much… …. Yes, it’s very interesting to see it face to face like this.”

But even something that was only that small could not be overlooked by those who called themselves predators of knowledge.

My memory of living with the lingering desire to explore the world has the power to never be forgotten at any moment.

Isn’t this a very sufficient condition for obsession?

“Why don’t you become a graduate student?”

“… “I don’t like it.”

“Oh my, it’s so sad to hear such a sharp rejection.”

A gorgon who smiles cheerfully even in the face of a firm rejection.

It was as if he had already anticipated the current answer, and he was moving forward one step at a time without hesitation.

“I saw well the way you tried to persuade me out of concern that you would place too much responsibility on that girl. “If you submit your assignment, you will receive the highest score in any educational institution.”

“No, I just roughly used what I picked up somewhere. “You don’t have to rate it too highly.”

“It is highly appreciated that you have made something you have heard of and made it your own. “Isn’t that what learning is all about?”

“Coincidentally, I am better at using my body than with books.”

“Stamina is necessary even for learning. So, why not become a graduate student? “If you follow me and become a graduate student, you can remain in this world and continue your research for hundreds or thousands of years.”

“… “I refuse.”

“When you become a graduate student, I will be there to guide you. “You don’t have to bring any luggage. As long as you come physically, I will give you as much consideration as I can.”

“I tell you this again and again, but I refuse. “I’m still alive and have so much to accomplish.”

Even the ‘graduate students’ around him right now don’t look human.

How can you accept the offer of a living corpse soaked in madness as a favor?

“…That answer is a failing grade.”

Feeling wary of him, he raised his spear blade, and the Gorgon’s eyes flashed and he began to take out a black long sword in his hand.

“I can’t help it. Since you had a stupid idea, I’ll take you to graduate school and improve your knowledge.”

“Hey, you crazy bastard. Why are you taking me to graduate school when I failed? .”

-Kyaang!

The sound of a weapon colliding that swallows up even angry voices.

“Become a graduate student!! Woohyo!!!”

Gorgon’s hand gestures that easily won even the struggle of strength.

It was already swinging towards his neck through a gap in the battle.
