Raphaella Castle Kingdom – 7

Stella couldn’t believe what had just happened.

At first, I thought I could win easily. I had heard of the Knights of the Silver Dawn and knew their skills, but I thought they wouldn’t be very strong since they were new knights anyway.

He believed that the reason why he asked himself for sparring was because the newcomer who had just entered the Knights couldn’t control his self-confidence and was too overconfident in his own skills.

So, after the Dalian was over, he was going to give light advice to the new knight, who must have been devastated after the crushing defeat, to try harder and not be too conceited or arrogant.

But now, rather, it was Stella herself who was devastated.

None of Stella’s attacks hit. No matter where you attack, no matter how you swing, no matter how hard you hit. The man responded casually, as if Stella knew it.

Later, even with divine power, he swung the mace with all his might, but even that attack bounced off a single ordinary sword that didn’t seem to be anything special.

Even unlike Stella, the man didn’t seem to be giving it his all. There was no sign of shortness of breath or anything to do. Every time I block an attack, I just slightly frown.

one. With just one touch, he could break the protection of the moon wrapped around his body and end the sparring. It was possible with just one attack that went in like a brush without the need to strike with a straight hit.

However, until the very moment when the moon’s protection ran out and disappeared, Stella was unable to succeed in a single attack.

It was the first time. To be fooled and defeated like this. I also felt a huge gap that I couldn’t catch up with men.

all this situation.

‘Was the shock too great?’

I stared at Stella, who sat down on the floor with her mouth wide open and a blank expression on her face, and caressed her wrist.

His right arm was still tingling. It wasn’t that the shock was bearable, it wasn’t that it didn’t hurt. Every time I hit the mace, my wrist whined as if some kind of low frequency was working.

It would be a perfect revenge if I even provoked him for saying it was nothing here, but I didn’t want to scratch it and make a rash. I know what Stella will react to.

But the words themselves were half sincere. I don’t know if it’s in vanilla, but in Dilla mode, bosses with huge weapons classified as extra-large weapons belonged to the axis of relatively easy difficulty.

In any case, even if it was brushed by a dagger that was swinging gently, or if it was directly hit by a greatsword that was swung with full force, it was a fair shot. If that’s the case, bosses with a lot of minor attacks are bound to be more difficult.

A boss with a checker or a boss with a continuous attack pattern that rushes without rest was the number one priority. The former is bound to be beaten while doing it wrong, and the latter is death if even one of them is twisted.

The best example was Rize.

“So, Judge heretic.”

“… … .”

The eyes that had been staring at me blankly turned a little to the side. Even if there was no answer, it meant that he was listening to me for now.

“Do you have anything to say to me? Like I have something to tell you, or that I just want to give you permission to enter.”

“… … ?”

The light returned slightly to his eyes. However, the emotions that surfaced in the green eyes were questionable. It was a sign that I didn’t know what the hell I was talking about.

Now it was my turn to panic.

If you win in Dalian, the Heretic Inquisitor smiles broadly, praises the player’s skills, and tells you the location of a certain rune dungeon. With that skill, it might be possible to break through.

In that very dungeon, I was able to obtain the necessary runes for the DLC’s final boss fight.

“Do not know… … I don’t know.”

Stella stuttered. I slightly frowned. This makes things a bit difficult. I knew roughly the location of the Rune Dungeon, but I needed permission from the Heretic Inquisitor to enter.

As much as it was a dungeon with runes, it was directly managed by the Holy Kingdom, so even if you knew the location, you couldn’t blindly enter it.

‘Can I just say it out loud?’

A thought came to my mind, asking whether I could let him enter the rune dungeon, or throw a fast ball. The story has already been twisted so much that I wondered if it wouldn’t matter if I got an answer like that.

It seemed that the change in the reaction after the sparring had a big impact. In the game, he praises the player’s skills and laughs out loud, but now his expression is completely engrossed.

“Do you need anything?”

As I was contemplating how to get permission to enter the Rune Dungeon from Stella, Selene came quickly to my side.

As usual, he had a blunt and cold face, but from that side of him, I could see a glimpse of surprise towards me.

it’s necessary Of course there is. Because I have to quickly get the rune to enter the boss room from the rune dungeon and move on to the next story. However, it was doubtful whether it was okay to tell Selene.

“If it’s something you can’t say in this open space, I understand.”

Selene nodded as she looked over at the battle nuns surrounding us. It wasn’t that I couldn’t speak because of those nuns.

“Follow me.”

“ah!”

Selene grabbed my wrist. When Stella saw that, Ah! He made a noise and stretched out his arms as if trying to grab us, but then let them hang down weakly.

Selene grabbed my wrist and strode off somewhere. I quietly followed him. I thought that there would be no harm in following it once.

“This is it.”

Selene let go of her wrists only after entering an empty church far from the arena. It was a cathedral made of gray marble and silver, giving a very dark feeling overall.

I had a rough idea of where this place was. Gray-white light came through the stained glass, and there was a painting on the ceiling that looked like the shape of the moon, but I couldn’t help but notice it.

It was clearly a chapel serving the Pope of the Moon.

“You seem to have something you want to say to the Heretic Judge. What did you want to ask for? As long as it’s not related to the sun, I can do anything that the heretic judge can do.”

Purple eyes stared at me. It was an act that stemmed from a misunderstanding, but here, in fact, it was worth the money. It’s fine if I tell Selene, and even if I fail, I have nothing to lose.

After finishing the calculation, I opened my mouth.

“Could you give me permission to enter the rune dungeon nearby?”

“If it’s a rune dungeon near here… … Do you mean ‘the abyss’?”

“yes. you’re right.”

“… … I believe you know what it means to ask for permission to enter the Rune Dungeon.”

He nodded. To enter the rune dungeon was also to mean that he would make and absorb the runes within it as his own.

Most of the people who discovered it were eaten up, so it was only nominal, but once discovered, rune dungeons were treated as property of the country.

Because I don’t know what useful effect the rune might have. For example, if it is a rune that is simple and effective, such as amplifying magic power, all wizards will run at it with their eyes open.

However, I am a member of the Empire, not the Holy Kingdom. In a word, it meant that the property of the country would be eaten by people from other countries.

“I know. But I don’t think there will be any problems. After all, the Seongguk also failed to attack, so it was left unattended, right?”

Selene flinched as if stabbed at the pinnacle.

Even though the dungeon was discovered a long time ago, why are the runes still intact inside it?

The reason why the heretic judge so readily gave permission to enter was close to the meaning that if you had enough skills to beat him, why don’t you give it a try there? Of course, it’s a dangerous place, so I warn you.

So, when the player clears the rune dungeon and comes back, they are very surprised.

“… … .”

Selene bowed her head and was immersed in thought. I heard something muttering. It seemed that he was really deeply troubled, and he didn’t even know that his thoughts were leaking out of his mouth.

Of course, most of them couldn’t understand. The few words I could barely understand were words that could not be interpreted by themselves.

“Okay, honored guest.”

After a long time, permission was finally granted. Selene said that it was okay to go to the Rune Dungeon, but she emphasized it several times as if she was uneasy.

“Originally, I would never have allowed it, but I will believe in your ability to thoroughly overwhelm the Heretic Judge in Dalian.”

There was power in her purple eyes.

“But keep in mind. It is a place no different from an abyss of unknown depth. Once you go down to a place where the light outside doesn’t reach, you never know what will happen. Also, from down there, even the Holy Kingdom cannot fully protect you. Even if it is me. Do you understand?”

“Sure. So you can stop worrying.”

“You have to worry. It’s a dungeon that we couldn’t reach the end even after going down for 12 full hours. How can you not do that?”

I smiled inwardly as I looked at Selene, who had a hard expression on her face. Didn’t see the end even after 12 hours? Of course, if you go down the road one step further down the road.

It wouldn’t take 20 minutes any other way.
