Chapter 59

“Ugh, the smell.”

The inside of the citadel was a mess.

It was full of broken ice shards or the corpses of monsters.

It will be a trace of the players who have just left.

‘There is a device that goes into this.’

You have to go where the device is.

Park Si-jun activated his intuition to detect the presence of his surroundings. It was because I was wondering if I could feel a sign of something.

Of course, nothing was felt.

“I got it all clean.”

It felt like the party a while ago was desperate to find something.

Park Si-joon took a wide view and looked around.

The inside of the fortress was literally ruins.

Snow fell through the broken walls, and the inside was a mess.

“Do you have anything to take to this place?”

woo woo.

His egg vibrated as if he could sympathize with those words.

“Hey, don’t you feel anything?”

Al didn’t answer. He didn’t even expect it in the first place.

Park Si-jun headed to the depths of the fortress first. There was a large space with a huge throne in the innermost part.

‘I’m here.’

Traces of the battle remain.

Shattered ice was scattered everywhere, and there were broken magic stones.

‘Is it like an ice golem?’

Park Si-jun tried to touch his fragments with his feet.

‘I have nothing to take.’

It was a situation where he took everything.

No, from what I’m talking about, you probably didn’t have anything to take with you.

“This guy must be a boss monster.”

Park Si-jun looked around the wide space with his hand on his chin.

‘Where did you hide your device?’

How many novels has he read so far?

Park Si-jun recalled the things he had seen in his novels one by one.

“wall?”

Something like a device that comes out when you press the wall.

Park Si-jun pressed all the suspicious walls.

Of course, there was no response.

“floor……?”

If I step on the floor, will it come out?

So I went through everything, but again, nothing happened.

“Then the last one.”

Park Si-joon’s gaze turned to the throne.

A throne so huge that you wondered who would sit there.

It did not appear to have been made for human sitting.

‘What might be under this?’

The throne was in close contact with the floor without any gaps.

Park Si-jun pushed the throne with all his might while whining. But he was so heavy that he did not move.

“Woo-wook, whoop.”

Park Si-joon let out a rough breath. He can’t move at all.

Then there is only one way.

“I’m going to smash it, I.”

Park Si-jun raised his fist.

‘Shape change.’

When magical power was applied, the shape of the gloves changed to resemble a gauntlet.

‘Gathers magical power.’

Added more magic to it.

In my head, I remembered Callios detonating a shockwave with a hammer.

Thinking about it, I step forward.

Whoops!

He slapped his fist hard.

The fists that were fired while emitting blue light collided with the throne.

Then, a shock wave burst out from the part that touched it, and the throne was blown away.

Kururu… Koo!

The flying throne was thrown against the wall and fell like a slant.

“Huh.”

Park Si-jun looked down at his fist.

The destructive power is enormous. The shock wave is also great, but it felt like the attack power itself went up a lot.

“Let’s see.”

I looked closely at the floor, brushing off the rising dust.

Aha.

A smile naturally appeared on his lips.

There was something like a groove under the broken throne.

[I found the quest.][Quest: Legacy of the Fallen Citadel]

The fortress, which once had a high wall, collapsed in vain. Thousands of people looted the fort’s belongings. However, no one took the citadel’s legacy.

-Reward: experience, pioneering, contribution points, [email protected]

“It’s filthy and disrespectful.”

Park Si-jun clicked his tongue.

The rewards are not detailed, and the explanation of the quest is unkind.

‘This seems to lead to another space… … .’

He looked carefully at the shape of the groove.

A blemish beneath the throne, and a key in the shape of a sphere he was holding.

‘Let’s put it on.’

Park Si-jun carefully inserted the sphere into the groove.

Chunkyung!

Surprisingly, the sphere fits perfectly into the groove.

It fit so well that it just made me feel better.

And after a while.

Curry!

A roar was heard from somewhere.

Park Si-jun looked at where the sound was coming from.

Not here, but somewhere else.

He left the room and quickly headed towards the source of the sound.

“Here…”

A corner of the fortress, a place that has completely collapsed and its shape is difficult to recognize.

The floor that had been covered with rubble was opened, opening the way to the basement.

‘I can’t find it.’

Who knows what might be in a place like this.

“I think I’m going underground…”

Park Si-jun concentrated his mind.

He sensed if there was any presence felt as his intuition scans the neighborhood.

There wasn’t really anything.

[Dungeon description is updated.]

Then a new message appeared.

[Dungeon: Fallen Citadel]

Once upon a time… … .

[Difficulty] C+

[Clear Condition] Defeat the Queen

[Appearance Attributes] Ice (Water), Spirit Type, Insect Type, Parasitic Type

Park Si-joon’s eyes narrowed.

‘Clear conditions have changed.’

and appearance properties.

An insect type was added.

‘Is the monster the giant was talking about an insect-type monster?’

Park Si-jun clicked his tongue. After all, it’s an insect, creepy.

‘Let’s go see.’

He descended underground using the sword with the flame attribute as a torch. The long stairs welcomed Park Si-joon.

“Don’t fly.”

Park Si-jun caught the egg that was about to fly away.

“When will you hatch?”

No answer came back.

It was very inconvenient to carry him around in an egg state. I’d rather hatch.

widely.

Park Si-Jun set his feet on the last stairs. The surroundings were very quiet.

‘It’s just getting ominous.’

There is no sign of feeling

Stairs lead to a large space.

Park Si-jun proceeded cautiously.

So as soon as you step on his feet.

woohoo!

All directions were illuminated with a roar. Something on the wall or ceiling was working and lit it up.

Then the space appeared.

‘warehouse? No, rather than that.’

It was close to a shelter.

There were rotten food everywhere, and things like sleeping bags were thrown away.

and corpses too.

“Ugh…”

Park Si-jun was deeply disappointed. He thought it was like a treasure trove.

No matter how you look at it, there seems to be no such thing as a treasure.

“No, you have to go inside.”

It is too hasty to judge now.

Park Si-jun looked around the shelter and made sure he had nothing to bring.

‘He died horribly.’

The bodies kept appearing.

Because it was so cold, the corpses were preserved to some extent in their original form.

All were dry.

‘Did you die of starvation?’

There were marks all over his body as if something had been ripped out.

“Such ominous…”

It was a daunting quest than I thought.

Park Si-jun tried to make his way through the passage beyond the shelter.

Then I felt something behind me.

“Huh?”

Park Si-jun turned his head quickly.

There was nothing behind it. But I felt something moved.

‘What?’

Without realizing it, Park Si-jun glanced at the corpse beneath his feet.

Maybe it’s undead

‘No, not the undead.’

This corpse is completely dead. Not even the slightest movement was seen.

So, the feeling a little while ago.

-Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

“I’m surprised!”

The lying corpse opened its eyes and let out a scream.

Park Si-jun was surprised and backed away.

“What, what?”

– Oh, oh… … .

The body slowly rose.

But the movement was very strange.

what should i say about that

It’s like a doll moving.

– Goo, Sasak, Sasak… …

A giant about 1.5 times the size of Park Si-jun was staring at him.

His physical condition is not good. It was dry and rotten everywhere.

“Undead?”

– Oh oh oh oh!

The giant swung his club loudly.

It was a sudden attack, but Park Si-jun calmly avoided it.

‘No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like an undead.’

Park Si-jun’s sense said so.

There was no such thing as an undead in the appearance attribute in the first place.

Then, this.

“What are you?”

– Aaaaah!

The giant continued the fierce attack.

He swung his club, swung his fist as the club deviated, and lifted to kick it with his leg as he avoided it.

“I don’t think the conversation will work out.”

He wanted to understand the situation, but he didn’t seem to have the slightest bit of intelligence.

“I have no choice but to kill.”

Park Si-jun grabbed his sword. He then kicked the ground and closed the distance with the giant.

– Oh oh oh!

A giant who raises the club high and tries to strike Park Si-Jun down.

His movements were quite fast. However.

‘It’s full of gaps.’

was too defenseless

Park Si-jun quickly approached the giant’s leg and cut off his ankle.

👌👌👌

– Aww… … !

The giant’s body staggered.

Park Si-jun immediately turned his body and cut the rest of his ankles at once.

The body of the giant, which lost its balance in an instant, fell as it was.

“Ugh!”

Si-Jun Park climbed on top of it and ran up to his chest.

And he looked down at the giant’s face with cold eyes.

– Chur oooh!

There was no intelligence in the giant’s eyes.

The conversation doesn’t seem to work. Reluctantly, Park Si-jun raised his sword.

🤩🤩🤩

– Whoops… … !(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

And cut off the giant’s head.

– Kuuk, uh, billion!

“Huh?”

But the giant did not die. He struggled as if it was going to happen at any moment, even though it was fatal.

Park Si-jun narrowed his eyes.

‘What?’

The eyes that grasped the vital point quickly scanned the giant’s body.

The giant had several weaknesses. And there was one particularly big one.

Heart. A large yellow light was flashing loudly over there.

‘what?’

I was confused, but there was no time to worry.

Park Si-joon quickly rotated his body and slashed the giant’s heart.

OK.

-Keeeeeeeeeeeeee!

A strange sound was heard.

It felt like bursting an insect, a scream that made me feel bad just hearing it.

– Uh huh… … .

Liquid leaked out of the giant.

It was blood. yellow blood.

There was something in the blood.

– Kiyi… … !

“Ugh, creepy.”

it was a worm A large crustacean worm.

He was struggling while looking at Park Si-joon with his body pierced by a sword.

“Bug type, parasitic type. Aha.”

All the puzzles are connected.

This bug seems to have entered the giant’s corpse and was controlling it.

-key… … !

“Noisy, ma’am.”

Park Si-jun flicked his finger.

His magic arose from the ring he was wearing, and fire gushed out of his hand.

fire wave. Intense fire engulfed the corpses of bugs and giants.

– Kyaaaah!

skin, flesh, and muscle. All the elements that make up the body melted away.

The giant struggled.

‘What?’

Park Si-jun frowned.

The parasitic worm escaped, but the giant was moving.

But for a moment, the giant’s body drooped as if dead.

So were the worms.

“Did I see it wrong?”

no, to do that.

– oh oh… … .

‘Were there more?’

Then I heard a voice behind me.

When Park Si-jun turned around, a giant was staring at him.

But his body was translucent.

‘Ghost?’

It looks like a molten giant.

Park Si-jun was about to attack, but realized that he had no will to be hostile to him.

“…were there real ghosts?”

The giant just looked at him.

As if you have something to say.

‘Oh, it smells.’

The strong smell of quests.
