Episode 124

“Fuck, really… Do we not even have human rights?”

“How do you survive this life every day?”

The villains who entered the gate ahead of the special class were gathered in one place.

It was something that would normally be impossible. However, there was a villain who made this possible.

“What is the situation?”

Unlike the other villains, a man without an arm. In response to his question, the villains each reported the situation in the underground.

“The pattern of life is the same.”

“But this time, some chicks came in.”

“… chick?”

A villain opened his mouth to the one-armed man’s question. Among them, he was the most recently imprisoned villain.

“I know who they are.”

“yes?”

“Oh, they are quite famous chicks. Have you heard of the Noblesse Academy special class?”

“I don’t know. Damn, why do I need to know the kids?”

The other villains reacted with a cold reaction, but the one-armed one was different.

“It’s called the special class… ?”

“Uh, from my point of view, that guard must be Kang Tae-min. This time, the new 6th strongest person.”

“No, what is the strongest person here for?”

“Did you come on a field trip?”

“What kind of field trip is it to the underground?”

“crazy… ! Anyway, I’ll have to go quietly for today.”

The villains each said a word. Most of them agreed with the opinion that if Kang Tae-min was there, it would be best to pass quietly.

“shut up.”

The one-armed man did not.

He approached the villain who recognized the students with his eyes wide open.

“Was Joo Da-hyun among those kids?”

“Joo, Joo Dahyun?”

“Don’t you know the granddaughter of Changhwang?”

“uh… .”

“Your eyes are such a fucking bitch. Just by looking at it, it’s a face that hasn’t been eaten.”

At those words, Villan remembered what happened at the restaurant. The face of a woman who was trying to help a student who suddenly had a case.

“Oh, I guess there was… ?”

“Looks like it?”

A green light flashed in the one-armed man’s eyes. Then the villain hurriedly replied.

“Oh no! Yes, there was!”

“ah… Yes, that bitch is here.”

The one-armed man grinned, showing his teeth. Bad breath flowed from between the yellowed teeth.

But nobody complained.

The reason why the villains were brought together and the reason why he created a hideout for the villains in the dungeon was because of this man.

“Dixon, what the hell does that bastard have to do with it?”

One villain uttered the name.

Dixon Cooper, a one-armed man, jerked his head.

“Because I came here because of that kid.”

Dixon rolled his glistening eyeballs around.

He made a profit by selling the inside information of the association, and one of the customers was Changhwang.

However, Ju Da-hyun confessed to it himself, and he was arrested, and at the end of the trial, he was imprisoned in the underground.

“Changhwang, at most that old man paid a fine. But I fell into the abyss.”

It was because Dixon’s other crimes were also revealed, but the person concerned didn’t think so.

He waved his severed, disfigured arm.

“I survived this dog-like dungeon like a dog. Everyone knows I’m dead.”

Dixon is a non-combat type Awakener. However, because he knew how to use the Auror, he was put into gate labor.

He was weaker than the other villains and went through all sorts of hardships inside the gate. It was the tyranny of the villains imprisoned together, not the monsters.

Along the way, he was thrown as bait by a monster and lost an arm. The management headquarters judged that Dixon was dead as evidence.

“But no one took responsibility!”

From then on, Dixon lived in a dungeon. Going back didn’t make it any better. He couldn’t even do gate labor, so he would just have to wait in the prison cell for his sentence to end.

The repetition of eating, cheap and sleeping without doing anything was evident. Dixon thought that such a life would drive him insane.

“I swore to myself every day that I would definitely, definitely get revenge, and that I would kill those bastards with my own hands.”

Remaining in the dungeon, he was only half mad. He wandered through the labyrinth, running away from monsters and other villains.

At the end, he set up a hiding place and gathered allies with his telepathic ability.

All the villains in this room were dreaming of escaping from prison like himself.

“This is a heaven-sent opportunity!”

“… what?”

“They are outsiders. Not worth it as a hostage.”

At Dixon’s words, the villains looked at each other.

“Ha, but the opponent is the strongest, right?”

“Yes, this is too risky… .”

“Even knowing my abilities? Do you think going through it again will change your mind?”

When Dixon opened his eyes again, the villains fell silent.

He was no longer afraid of other villains.

“Even the strongest is a mere human body after all. There is no way to resist my power.”

It was thanks to his stay in the dungeon that he realized how to use his new abilities.

* * *

The monsters that appeared in the dungeon were undead. Mummies that might come out of the Egyptian pyramids.

The only difference was that the rotting body beneath the bandages was not human.

Some bodies had multiple heads or multiple extremities that appeared to be arms and legs.

“I really don’t get used to this stench.”

Pyo Soo-ho collected the white aura and cut off the head of the fallen mummy and cut the body into pieces.

It was thanks to what I learned from Kang Tae-min in the previous ‘Commander Tower of Disaster and Blood’, that I realized that it is better to shatter the undead.

Yuhwarin summoned Pagos, the 4th tier fire spirit, and burned the corpses.

‘… I did not know.’

She glanced at the pyosuho.

It was Pyo Soo-ho’s opinion that only Pagos be summoned. It was because mana was consumed just by summoning a spirit, so summoning a high-ranking spirit was burdensome.

-I am confident in using my body!

On the other hand, Pyosuho’s swordsmanship does not require mana. He subdued the mummy with his white aura only when necessary.

Thanks to that, Yuhwarin was not exerting much effort.

‘I never thought he’d be such a nice kid.’

I just thought he was a little unique, noisy person. I didn’t see a person named Pyo Soo-ho because I was caught up in an accident that he took away my friends’ seats.

It was no different from the children who discriminated against them. Didn’t they also classify themselves as Asians, not ‘Yuhwarin’?

‘before it’s too late.’

Uhwarin hardened her heart.

“Pyosuho.”

“yes?”

From the outside, he was a perfect bully, but on the inside, he was upright and righteous.

Yuhwarin faced Pyosuho.

“Sorry.”

“… ok?”

“In fact… .”

She talked about what she had been thinking and what had happened.

“I’m so sorry. I… I didn’t know you well.”

Mysteriously, before the talk, the anxiety in my heart disappeared and humility filled the place.

‘Even if I’m hated, it’s my responsibility to bear it.’

Even so, her tightly closed eyes trembled slightly. I accepted it with my head, but I still couldn’t get used to being hated.

“Ah, somehow. Why did you suddenly ask me to go to a friendly match?”

Pyo Soo-ho’s answer broke the silence. The tone was not much different from usual.

“Well, forgiveness is a bit like… .”

However, at the words that followed, Yoo Hwa-rin felt like her heart stopped.

‘Also… .’

Cold sweat broke out on my hands. Perceiving her feelings, Pagos hurriedly circled around her.

“thanks.”

“… ok?”

Yoo Rin’s eyes widened. Pyo Soo-ho was smiling awkwardly.

“Thank you for being honest.”

“… Don’t you hate me?”

“Well, it’s not very good.”

“eww… .”

“Still, isn’t it true that friendships are broken off by mistake?”

Yoo Hwa-rin, who had shrunk, opened her eyes again. Pyo Soo-ho smiled broadly and adjusted his sunglasses.

“That’s what you apologized for. I want to be friends with you.”

“ah… .”

“I like honest people.”

At those words, a smile bloomed on Yoo Rin’s face.

“And I like first place too. Let’s fill the quota first!”

“yes!”

The two cheered up and went down the aisle again.

after a while

As the walls rotated, an iron man wearing a suit appeared.

‘From secret doors to machinery and traps. Looks like you’ve got the right direction.’

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Leaving his alter ego at the base, he was looking for artifacts.

Since he had already obtained the bloodstain and the fragments of the Abyss, it was as if Necrod had already disappeared before returning.

‘There’s no need to throw away the information you know.’

The name of the artifact he was looking for was ‘The Staff of the Dead Snake God’, and it had the ability to replace the owner’s mana with poison.

‘Before the return, the prisoner escaped with it.’

Nerod snatched the artifact from the hands of a villain.

For general villains, the target of application is limited to weapons or abilities, but Nerod who uses necromancy was different.

‘Thanks to that, Nekrod’s undead were all poisonous.’

In addition to simple pain, additional effects such as paralysis, corrosion, and corruption could be granted.

Hunters suffered damage just by facing the undead, and needed the support of a healer.

Even if the undead were defeated, the poison remained, weakening or killing the hunters. The fallen Hunters became undead again.

‘Now that vicious cycle doesn’t happen.’

Taemin Kang remembered exactly the shape of the cane Nekrod was holding.

Since the material was metal, Kang Tae-min was estimating the location with his detection ability.

‘It’s getting closer.’

It was an elaborately hidden secret passage that would have taken countless hours for others, but Kang Tae-min found it in an instant.

Thanks to that, it didn’t take long for him to find the hidden altar.

‘… what?’

But something was strange.

Isn’t the altar the most important place? However, none of the traps installed worked.

‘Is it already working?’

At the same time as he thought, Kang Tae-min pulled his cane with his ability. Not an ordinary snake wrapped around a staff, but a snake with legs.

he realized right away.

“… No fangs?”

The core of this artifact was not a staff, but a poisonous tooth, ‘Venom Cainine’.

Without the fangs, the wand was merely an ornament.

‘Who do you think took it first?’

That was not very desirable.

* * *

On the other hand, base.

Seol Ga-eun was feeling an awkward silence as she glanced at Kang Tae-min.

‘eww… I can’t believe it’s already a hot topic.’

But it wasn’t her fault. The problem was that Kang Tae-min was not interested in leisure life at all.

He did not watch Q-Tube or Netflix, which most modern people enjoy.

Seol Ga-eun pondered for a while and finally opened her mouth.

“I am Taemin.”

“… Yes.”

I stopped talking about calling them by their identification numbers. It was just the two of them anyway, so there was no need to be too tight.

“That’s what you said at the press conference last time.”

“Are you talking about the seed?”

“Oh, no. The one before that. Regarding the strongest… .”

“Yes.”

“Don’t be evil, where have you heard of it?”

She recalled the words of Iron Man and Kang Tae-min. Although the wording was slightly different, the story had the same meaning.

“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

“No, I heard something similar.”

She wanted to return the favor to the iron man. And if Kang Tae-min and Iron Man have a relationship.

‘I’ll be able to have a little closer relationship with teacher Taemin.’

He would be able to honestly reveal his abilities to Kang Tae-min. However, his reaction was different than expected.

“Can you tell me who said it?”

“Yes?”

“Ah, if I was quoting someone else without my knowledge, it would be good to know.”

Seol Ga-eun shook her head at the answer.

“No, no! It just meant similar. It’s not exactly the same. uh, and… You don’t even know what to say.”

“It’s a pity.”

Silence fell again.

Seol Ga-eun was fortunate to have a helmet.

‘Ugh, I said it for nothing.’

A cool breeze blew across his flushed face.

“Maybe it’s because the protection is a bit thick, it’s a bit hot.”

“Oh, it has a cooling function. Operate the visor and it is on the menu.”

“Ah, then I must have turned it on. the wind comes… .”

Seol Ga-eun stopped talking. Kang Tae-min looked away.

“Sir Gaeun?”

Something was strange.

The cooling function of protective gear is to regulate the temperature itself. There was no such thing as wind.

‘Besides, there’s no way the wind will blow here because it’s a closed space, right?’

Soon, Seol Ga-eun fell forward. Taemin Kang stood up in surprise at the dull thud.

“Oh, the effect is certain.”

“Let’s take care of that side as well.”

“Uhhh, is this a woman?”

Before long, the prisoners appeared from the aisle with several voices. One of them was a man who drew a magic circle emitting green light.

“… for a moment.”

“Why?”

“Um, the paralysis poison doesn’t work over there… ?”

He was a magician who controlled the wind. He succeeded in paralyzing Seol Ga-eun with colorless, tasteless, and odorless poison, but not Kang Tae-min.

As an alter ego, a mechanical doll, there was no way poison could work on him.

“what… ?”

“Oh no why?”

The villains were bewildered. It was a different situation than expected.

In the meantime, Kang Tae-min silently grabbed the etiquette injector.
