Dungeon Hunter Chapter 188:

Chapter 188: Sacred Zone (3)

Kim Yura remained silent while moving . She sometimes looked at me with complicated eyes but she didn’t open her mouth .

I was the Saviour and also the master of the dungeon .

It was an unchanging fact .

Due to the atmosphere, Kim Yura didn’t dare speak and just moved her feet .

"Here . "

A place where the dark elves lived .

I stepped on the floor where the Tree of Origin was .

It was a presence larger than any creature we had passed .

Kim Yura’s eyes widened . Due to her awakening and the holy power of a Saintess, the Tree of Origin was welcoming her .

“Divine tree . . . ”

Kim Yura muttered in a small voice .

I just laughed .

"It isn’t a big deal . ”

We had different perspectives . Some might called it a divine tree but from my point of view, the Tree of Origin was just an unusual tree .

I had met the gods of the earth before returning to the past and the tree didn’t feel like them . It was just some pressure . I wasn’t going to look up to it .

“Welcome, Dungeon Master . ”

Julliom was the first one to notice my presence . The dark elves of the village lined up behind him .

There was roughly 1,000 of them . There were many children . . . it seemed like the population of dark elves had been increasing .

At the same time, they were looking at me with total loyalty . I took such devotion for granted but Kim Yura stared at them with fascination .

“Dark elves . . . ”

The dark elves were famous for not following anyone . The only person they followed was naturally the Dungeon Master . Kim Yura bit her lip as if there was no doubt now .

Whether she believed it or not, I went straight to the point .

"Bring me to the female human that I left here . ”

“Yes . Although she hasn’t regained her spirit . ”

Julliom replied . I shook my head and said .

“I will see her . ”

"Follow me . ”

Julliom led the way . An unusually lush forest area in the centre . After walking through some buildings, Julliom’s house appeared .

 

I had left Kim Min-ji, who needed treatment, with Julliom . The dark elves didn’t like humans very much . . . they followed my orders but that wouldn’t change .

Kim Min-ji lay on a bed made of grass and leaves . Dark elves were taking turns feeding her some porridge .

“ . . . Min-ji!”

Kim Yura was overcome with emotions as she ran towards Kim Min-ji . But for some reason, Kim Min-ji acted like she couldn’t hear it at all .

“Is something wrong?”

I asked about Kim Min-ji’s strange attitude and Julliom replied .

"That . . . she seems to have lost something important . ”

“Lost?”

"Her spirit . I don’t know why but she is just like a doll . ”

I turned my eyes towards Kim Min-ji . Kim Min-ji was expressionless like a marionette .

Spirit . The spirit .

Originally it was normal . In addition to the physical injuries, she seemed to have received a larger shock .

Was there a problem with the awakening?

"Is she an idiot?”

To be honest, I didn’t know if she had really lost her spirit . But this type of reaction was usually seen from those who were idiots .

Julliom shook his head .

"She isn’t an idiot . She reacts to some things . But . . . isn’t she connected to that human woman? Then there might be a reaction . ”

Kim Yura was sobbing while holding Kim Min-ji . Even so, there was no reaction .

"I will be back after a while . I will be near the Tree of Origin . ”

“Go take a look, Dungeon Master . ”

Julliom glanced towards two dark elves . I refused to allow them to accompany me and started walking alone .

 

Yihi could communicate with the Tree of Origin as the Origin Fairy, but I had never managed to talk to it . It was a special challenge that I hadn’t tried .

But after hearing the story about Camael and the sun swallowing the moon . . . I wanted to come here and think for a minute .

‘It isn’t me . ’

It wasn’t in my nature but I decided it wouldn’t hurt to be emotional for once . I leaned back against the Tree of Origin and folded my arms .

‘Camael, the sun swallowing the moon . . . ’

A strong being that hadn’t appeared in my previous life . His emergence was due to me .

‘I am changing everything . ’

Change was never bad . I looked at these changes positively . However, the changes were often abrupt .

Despite Camael and the angels, my goal to become the devil was unchanged . Still, it was crucial to become stronger faster . The current me couldn’t beat a seraphim .

‘I went to the Underground World and became stronger . More than anyone else . I won’t stop here and will surely continue to grow . . . it isn’t enough . ’

Camael was a very big variable .

And I needed to get my hands on this variable .

Right now he was out of reach .

'There is no meaning in becoming stronger alone . Expanding my forces is one way to become stronger . I can consolidate my dungeons and increase my power . ’

I frowned .

Zadkiel

I had seen a seraphim in my previous life .

He was powerful . He was an enemy that brought great fear to the demons .

Hundreds of thousands of creatures were wiped out by him . It wasn’t unreasonable for him to fight a grand duke one on one . It took an enormous sacrifice in order to eliminate him .

‘I want to win . ’

However . . . I wanted to win .

I wanted to kill Camael alone .

Getting rid of Camael with my creatures wasn’t an accomplishment that would be remembered for long, but the story would be completely different if I took care of him alone .

In order to do that, I had to be stronger than I was now .

‘I have to look at just my pure stat points . ’

My potential was 555 points . However, I still hadn’t filled all of it . At best, I had 440 points . I still needed to raise my stats by more than 100 points .

Filling it all up . . . it was possible . I thought it was possible . The stats calibration would increase it up to 650 points . It wasn’t impossible to be called a ‘god’ and I could even deal with Camael!

‘Upgrade my pure stats . ’

I predicted that they would rise to 500 points without much difficulty . If not, my potential limit wouldn’t rise . However, that wasn’t enough to fulfil my greed .

'Something unexpected . A strange idea that I wouldn’t normally think of . . . ’

The conventional methods wouldn’t work .

I needed a method that no one had thought of but was efficient .

But ideas that no one could figure out also applied to me . It was like catching a cloud in the sky .

I worried about it for a long time .

Then my eyes were caught by the giant tree that extended endlessly .

Origin resembled purity . Origin didn’t have a colour .

I raised my hand and brought it to the Tree of Origin .

"I need an answer . In Heaven, the Celestial King can communicate directly with the Tree of Origin when there is a serious matter . If so . . . tell me the answer to my troubles . ”

It was just a story . There was no credibility and no one could confirm it . However, my eyes were serious .

My senses were saying ‘the Tree of Origin has an answer . ’ No, it was like I gained a similar ability after killing Martin and taking his eyes .

It took a few seconds for a result, but the response was very strong .

I had never communicated with the Tree of Origin but this time was different . I had previously opened my magic power and talked as the Dungeon Master yet the Tree of Origin hadn’t reacted .

Swiik!

Soon the branches started to move .

Kuuong!

The ground shook and roots popped out to swallow me .

 

At the same time, I received a vision .

After coming back, I opened my eyes and found that I was still in front of the Tree of Origin .

The roots and branches wrapped around me were gone .

‘It felt like a dream . ’

I scowled . I barely remembered what had happened .

‘Definitely . . . I fought with myself . ’

It was blurred as I forced myself to recall it . I had fought against myself . But that was all . The contents and result of the fight were erased from my head .

‘Do I need to fight with myself because I have no enemies?’

I clicked my tongue as I looked at the Tree of Origin . Anyway, the fact that my memory was ambiguous meant the result wasn’t good .

“I’ll come again . ”

I turned around .

I had received an answer . I didn’t know if this method would make me stronger but it was better than doing nothing .

 

Angels scattered all over the world started moving . They spread their long wings and gathered in one place, ignoring all enemies .

It was like they had all received a revelation .

The angels gathered in Ukraine, Europe .

It was the place where Martin’s dungeon was located .

"For eternal glory . ”

Thousands of angels gathered on the top floor of the dungeon and Alex, a thrones angel stabbed his sword into the floor and declared a territory .

Huuuuong!

At the same time, a divine light exited the dungeon and spread through the sky .

The dungeon was transformed into one huge cradle .

The cradle scattered holy power around . All creatures in the area were melted down, leaving no traces behind .

Only the pious humans could stay in this place . The wicked would have to take care of themselves .

As they prayed, a multitude of lights was simultaneously seen around the world .

Demons, humans and the remaining angels started to focus on the light .
