Chapter 173

“Uldong bastard, is he dead?”

An A-grade dungeon that contains Sungjin.

There, a monster in a place where snake-type monsters swarmed, Baskey said.

The lower body was that of a snake and the upper body was a human male.

Among the serpent-type monsters that can be said to be large, it could be seen as the weakest.

However, he was in the position of a king who controlled this snake-type monster.

He was looking at one of the many crystal balls displayed in the dark space.

Crystal ball with cracks.

This meant the death of the contractor.

And the contractor for this was Uldong for the underground country.

“It’s a shame he was a good guy.”

Baskey muttered as he recalled the contract he made with Uldong.

He remembered the first time he met him.

He came to us when he was just starting to settle down here, and he has been asking for a contract rather than fighting against him.

What he wants is overwhelming power.

It was a unique and special strength and longevity that the people could look up to.

He was obsessed with power.

“Who is it?”

What happened?

It’s also a revolution.

It seems that the contents of the contract have been leaked.

no.

The power he gave him was not that weak.

There would have been no problem in running the country on its own.

There are other variables.

Maybe it’s an external force, not an internal one.

Thinking like that, I remembered the recent blue flames.

Obviously that’s the cause.

“It’s hard to find such a guy again, but it’s a waste.”

It was time and a constant battle that gave him strength.

He settled here and was protected to create a sufficient number of subordinates and later became a stress outlet for his subordinates.

In addition, he provided various conveniences such as hunting training and replenishment of food.

He couldn’t resist, because when he died, his blessing like a curse would also disappear.

It was a pity that such a person died.

‘Do you want someone to replace you?’

It will be difficult for them to maintain their current stay if what they have been providing is cut off.

The number of subordinates was too large, and if they did not relieve their stress and hunger, kinship could occur.

So we had to think about how to deal with it.

“No, it’s simple.”

The worries didn’t last long.

“Can I sign a contract with this king again?”

Even if the original contractor has disappeared, the country that provides it remains the same.

Then you just have to attack the country.

On the contrary, this time, you could have better contract terms.

Because now I have more power than before.

Also, if you go now, you will be able to kill the guy who killed Uldong.

I don’t know if there was a grudge that killed Uldong.

Just thinking about it made my heart flutter.

‘Did he just kill Uldong?’

-Maybe he killed all of them in the Underworld.

There was a possibility that there was a grudge in the underground country itself, not in Uldong.

If you want to share a contract again, you have to protect them first.

squeak-

See eh-

Baskey’s back.

One by one, the eyes of the reptiles, which were long torn in yellow, appeared.

Its huge eyes made it possible to estimate the size of its owner.

not one or two

The number of eyes gradually increased by tens or hundreds.

“You guys. Stop sleeping and play. This time is a special place.”

ceek-

Giant snakes fluttering their tongues and saying something.

Basky nodded his head as if he knew it as he heard it.

“Of course, you can eat it. However, it will be a food court and a playground, so do it in moderation.”

See eh-

quagga gaga-

The giant snakes fluttered their tongues happily, then suddenly dug into the ground.

As they disappeared, the darkness lifted and the sun began to shine.

“How long are you going to hold out this time?”

Seek-

Baskey said, flicking the snake’s tongue.

Then he threw himself into the hole drilled by his subordinate snake.

“…So, this old man made a contract with a snake boy named Baskey. This is it.”

Seong-jin entered the king’s residence and looked for clues.

The king’s residence was quite spacious and promiscuous.

It was not at all small compared to the spacious conference room that killed Uldong.

There were a total of nine beds, including the fragments.

But that didn’t mean he couldn’t find a clue.

It took a while, but when I searched for it in Jeongan, I was able to find it.

There was a space sealed with something like black magic, and when it was dismantled, the contract that Uldong had with the snake-type monster and their characteristics were well documented.

“He’s a really funny guy. To write something like this so proudly.”

What I am seeing now is an autobiography written by Uldong.

It’s kind of like a diary, and the writings here show that he was trying to beautify what he had done.

Naturally, this was written in great detail about the contract he had with the snake-type monster named Basquiat.

In particular, the last word written was a spectacle.

– O king who killed me. Do not offend the snakes. We don’t have the strength to deal with them. Walk the same path as me.

Whether he was expecting his death or not, he wrote something plausible.

“Then King. What will you do?”

Seongjin handed over Uldong’s autobiography to Gwitae and asked.

Gwitae had read it several times as if it was hard to believe.

he knew

The fact that the king may be communicating with the enemy.

But he didn’t know he was crazy enough to be this far.

The war that has been fought has been a sacrifice.

He quelled the madness of snakes through warfare, used them as food, and delivered something like the food they left behind.

Several people who were killed like him were written negatively.

Even the anonymously written figure could roughly guess who it was.

A friend’s name came out.

A man who had been said to have died in war since when was killed while digging after the king.

He was told at the time that he died on the battlefield, but this was the truth.

‘So this war is… .’

It was the result of the self-interest of the king who was crazy about power.

It was subjectively revealed in the king’s autobiography.

It was written as if he was not bad and did well, as if he would have already lost the country without him.

That crazy feeling was so well melted into the writing that it made my stomach ache beyond my frown.

I don’t know if it was just writing.

This was something he had been through.

I had to deepen my thoughts.

“I have no intention of becoming a king. I don’t think I will in the first place.”

“That’s the sound until the end. What would happen if we had the autobiography alone.”

“No. It’s not like that. A king has ruled a country for hundreds of years. He is more of a god than a king of this country.”

So Gwitae was willing to die when he asked him to die.

It will be no different for others.

“I’m going to get rid of the command of the king. I’m going to create a new system by convincing those who are currently being held in the conference room. I’ll try to get rid of the king’s shadow as much as possible. So…”

“It looks like it will take a long time.”

“Would you mind waiting?”

exactly.

It doesn’t matter what happens when he suddenly becomes king.

According to his words, the people and the army cannot cooperate.

He needed time anyway.

But that’s it.

“We don’t have that much time.”

Why did Sungjin come here in a hurry?

Maybe it’s because the situation outside is uneasy.

The Villain Alliance, to be exact, an attack on the party’s officials, which is carried out by Dalgi.

No major damage yet.

There was no guarantee that it would stop well in the future.

Because I didn’t prepare that much.

And this was not only for them, but for them as well.

“If you look in that autobiography, it will be there. As a token of the contract, he gave a marble connected to his life.”

That meant that the enemies noticed that the king was dead.

“Can you imagine how they’ll turn out?”

quagaceae-

Shaaaaah!

Before I even heard the answer, the answer came to life.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Seongjin heard the noise and immediately came out of the king’s residence.

There, as expected, a large-scale invasion took place.

The reason the snakes have not attacked so far is not because they are unaware of this location.

Because the king made a covenant with them. But the king died.

Then there is no reason not to attack now.

Through the ceiling, the wall, and the ground, three giant snakes came out.

A giant flying snake, Ouroboros.

A hydra with more than ten heads and an incurable venom.

Hardon with a hundred heads.

And from the snake’s mouth many snakes poured out.

These are three S-grade monsters and A-grade monsters summoned by them.

Even so, a large-scale invasion was made in a chaotic situation due to the death of Seongjin and his party.

“My name is Basqui, King of Serpents.”

Above the head of Ouroboros who appeared through the ceiling.

Baskey said to me.

It wasn’t a very loud voice, but it was a voice that resonated in everyone’s head.

“I know your king is dead, and that it was murdered by someone.”

Baskey said so and looked around.

Even in the situation of Abi Gyu-hwan, in which youkai are indiscriminately eaten by snakes, they could be seen looking up at this place calmly.

He said, pointing at them with the staff in his hand.

“You who have killed the king this time and become the new king. Come before me and get down on your knees.”

Sungjin thought for a moment after hearing his words.

I thought about who he was talking about.

Isn’t he the one who killed the king, the enemy of the underground national team, Uldong?

“Do you think this is calling me?”

“Yes? Are you going?”

“Yeah. Originally, I was going to take Gwi-tae, but what I said earlier made me sympathize with you.”

That would be a good way to convince you.

Of course, not only that, but other people will also take care of you, so there is no problem.

Seong-jin gave his party a small role and walked towards Barsky.

“I’ll take the time. Please take care of the rest.”

Kyaaaaa-

A snake on the way Seongjin was walking was engulfed in blue flames and died.

He walked the path he had made.

The path where the magic stone fell instead of the corpse.
