Dungeon Hunter Chapter 147:
Chapter 147: Guardian Deity (1)
The demons who entered my dungeon . Half the creatures they brought had been removed from the dungeon . They were released all over South Korea and hadn’t yet been cleaned up .
It was ridiculous that there was such a large number of creatures .
‘Other demons . Or it might be aid from Pandemonium . ’
I touched my jaw .
By now, the demons would be aware that there was a problem .
They would be planning their next move .
So . . . I planned to wipe out all the creatures while making them aware of a ‘strong presence . ’
I would use it to confuse Pandemonium .
‘A special event . ’
Special events had happened several times in my previous life and referred to things like the angels’ descent or the emergence of the Cruel Commander Maxium .
I knew how to cause one event .
I wouldn’t have even dared dream of it before stepping into the realm of transcendence as well as obtaining the treasures of the Hell Monarch . . . I formed a small smile .
Hwaruruk!
A pair of large black wings fluttered on my back . They were slightly different from the ones I received when Corruption was used . They were an ‘item’ transformed after eating Pride’s flames .
I recalled the brief description of the item called Thousand Wings .
-Name - Thousand Wings (Epic)
Description: Wings that are said to be capable of holding thousands of different types of magic power . * The user can absorb and store the magic power of creatures that they kill . * The colour will change depending on the type of magic power absorbed . ** Once the limit is reached, it is possible to use the skill ‘Thousand Summoned Doors . ’ ** The amount of stored magic power - 445,344/1,000,000 |
It was an epic item with no stats, skills or titles . If I couldn’t see the hidden options with Mind’s Eye then it would have been a trash item .
It certainly wasn’t worth paying 5,000 achievement points for .
However, the hidden options were remarkable . There were restrictions but it was an item that enabled the use of an exceptional epic skill . Besides, I was familiar with the skill .
-Name - Thousand Summoned Doors (Ex Epic)
Description: A unique monster can be summoned, depending on the specific place or time . . The summoned creature won’t follow the summoner’s commands but will act according to its own ‘uniqueness . ’ |
It was ambiguous .
But I knew a similar skill that had been triggered . As a result, something happened .
It was a half step lower skill called ‘Traditional Summoning Door (Epic) . A human had used it to reverse the destruction in South Korea . Immense wealth and great sacrifices were exchanged to summon a ‘guardian deity . ’
I didn’t see the summoning with my own eyes but it was enough to stop the demons’ invasion .
‘Thousand Summoned Doors’ was a higher rated compatible skill . If I collected enough magic power then it was possible to open the summoning door without any restrictions .
Of course, I didn’t intend to use the magic power to summon something evil . It should be helpful to humans .
‘Wake up a guardian deity to protect South Korea . ’
A guardian ‘deity . ’ It was still a creature . At any rate, I intended to wake it up in order to counterattack against Pandemonium . If I wanted to do that, I needed the magic power of creatures and the ‘origin’ of humans .
'The three-legged crow . ’
I looked through my memories .
At that time, the three-legged crow had been summoned . At first glance, it resembled a crow . It was bigger than the griffin and could cover the sun . I wasn’t certain of its strength but it seemed to be between a high class 3Lv and 4Lv .
The problem was . . . it didn’t listen to the summoner .
The three-legged crow certainly defended Korea but it was fickle .
After consuming the invading demons and creatures, it demanded more wealth . It liked flashy things and accumulated all types of jewels and goods on top of Mt . Baekdu . It caused things like tsunamis as a joke so the humans suffered .
In the end, it was cleaned up by Grand Duke Upa . However, the strength and will of the guardian deity was apparent .
‘It can’t attack when it sees me . ’
I was a demon . There couldn’t be instinctive recognition .
It wouldn’t have been easy before the Underground World . Now I could easily defend against the guardian deity .
“Master . A lot of humans have come along . ”
Rose said as she glanced back .
This was the third day .
I had travelled through half this land without any rest .
Meanwhile, thousands of people had seen me taking care of the creatures . Many people were following behind me .
Some were civilians and a large number were Awakened .
I didn’t rest for even one minute or one second and managed to move up to here . Despite being slow, the humans desperately tried to follow me . Their mouths were foaming as they chased after me .
‘I need their origins in order to summon the guardian deity . ’
Hundreds of people weren’t enough . Thousands, no tens of thousands were required . Otherwise, the creature I wanted was unlikely to be summoned .
“Take a small break . ”
On a small hill .
I sat on a rock and closed my eyes .
The procession of people stopped and rested for a while .
Roy and Rose .
It was the first time they had left the dungeon . They were filled with curiosity and Rose was especially active .
While Roy stayed next to Dungeon Master, Rose started to move . She decided to enter the crowd of people to look at them .
"Ohh, Saviour-nim’s child . . . ”
As Rose approached, some humans kneeled down and raised their hands .
A modest attitude .
Rose blinked as one woman approached her .
"Are you hungry? It isn’t much but have a steamed sweet potato . Try it once . ”
"Steamed sweet potato?"
“Yes . It is very sweet . ”
The old woman quietly laughed as she offered the sweet potatoes .
Rose bluntly grabbed one sweet potato .
Wagu!
She even chewed on the skin .
"Um . . . sweet . ”
It was delicious . Rose ate the sweet potato in the blink of an eye .
The old woman didn’t know she would eat the skin but smiled after a moment .
"That . . . Saviour-nim’s child . ”
“I’m Rose . By the way, are you referring to Master? What is a saviour?”
No matter how grown up she pretended to be, Rose was young . She learned twice as fast as others but there was still a limit .
The old woman replied slowly .
"Rose-nim, we call him Saviour-nim because he did what no one else could . ”
Ah!
Rose clapped her hands .
"Then Master is a saviour . Queen-nim used to always say it . Nothing is impossible for Master . Master was taken away by evil, but he came back to save us all . I knew it . Master is really great . ”
Um um . Rose nodded .
Every day was really new . Queen-nim, Chrisley’s words weren’t wrong .
Her confidence in that idea grew .
"From all evil . . . !”
"He will save us!”
“Finally! Finally!”
The humans interpreted it a bit differently .
There were good reasons .
A person taken away by evil . He came back to destroy all evil . Popular lines seen somewhere before . . . it was natural for him to be deemed a **** .
Before she knew it, thousands of people were gathered around Rose .
They created a circle and listened to Rose’s conversation .
This was the first time Rose experienced so much attention . It was natural that she would feel flattered .
"You don’t have to worry . I don’t know why but Master is trying to help you . Queen-nim said that Master will bring ‘hope’ to the humans here . You are fragile beings but potential can be seen . If you don’t aim your sword at Master then that potential can blossom . By the way . . . Queen-nim has another worry . Will humans point their swords at Master after gaining strength? I have to say this . Would you really?”
Rose didn’t understand this point .
Humans were stupid but she couldn’t imagine them raising their swords in disobedience . Were they that stupid?
She wanted to ask the humans directly .
Biting the hand that fed them . No matter how strong they were, it was natural that they were weaker than Master . She thought a species that would willingly walk down the path of death was strange .
An endangered species became drunk on power and tried to rebel . It was ingratitude . It was impossible for the dark elves .
“Ah, no . It is a misunderstanding . I can’t say that no humans would do that, but there are more good humans . ”
"So it would vary? I don’t know very well but you shouldn’t cut off ties with Master . He is very strong! You should be careful . He killed four demons alone . . . hup!”
Rose quickly covered her mouth .
The surrounding humans started shaking .
"Four demons?”
“Perhaps . . . ”
“Oh my god!”
They didn’t know why .
One day, the demons made their way to Korea .
There were exactly four of them .
Dipella, Anastasia, Amurun and Jenerald!
Their names were memorized . All the people gathered here knew the names of the four demons .
Yet, she said they were killed .
Curiosity filled the eyes looking at Rose .
Rose ignored them and turned around .
"Ah, I don’t know . I will be going now . Master said that he will be moving after three hours . ”
Rose threw Master an embarrassed look .
Master didn’t say it directly but Rose was aware of her role . It was to get the humans to follow him!
If not, Master wouldn’t have bothered to wait for the humans to follow . Rose noticed and said a mix of facts to the humans .
Thanks to this, the faith of the humans became even stronger .
Mentioning the demons was dangerous, but that was only if they found out Master was a demon . ‘Envy’ would fill their eyes .
Now people who believed in Master would appear .
'Did I do well?’
Rose was young but noticed quickly .
She instinctively understood psychological methods .
So she was somewhat certain that her answer was correct .
‘That’s right!’
Then Rose hurriedly turned to the old lady and said .
“Can I have two more steamed sweet potatoes? I want to give one to Master . . . ”
One was for Master . She would eat the other one .
She didn’t think of Roy .
It was the first time she had ever tasted the delicious sweet potatoes .
