Chapter 173: Sharing the Bed with Enemies (8)

「Hwa… Are you sure?」

General Kim Younghyeom couldn’t easily believe Yeongtae’s conviction.

Meanwhile, chairman Kim Taejoon tilted his head at the unfamiliar surroundings.

「Where are we now?」

Having spent an incomprehensible amount of time only in the returnee’s room, Taejoon felt curiosity rather than fear in this unfamiliar place.

Upon this, Yeongwoo aimed another arrow at Gameta and shouted.

Pewww!

“I hit him!”

With Yeongwoo’s official confirmation, a violet explosion burst from Gameta’s shoulder.

Pweeong!

And as a signal, the three ‘friends’ all turned their gaze towards Gameta.

「Ugh….!」

Leading the charge was Kim Taejoon, who urgently needed to purchase a television.

Kwakwakkwong!

A 3-meter tall granite golem.

Although he had once nearly pulverized Yeongwoo, compared to Gameta, who stood at 8 meters tall, he looked like a small stone doll.

Naturally.

―Ridiculous.

More than anyone present, Gameta, with his cosmic rating, felt disdain.

As the golem’s torso was so broad, it looked as if he could kick rather than punch.

And Gameta immediately acted on this thought.

Kwakkwong, hwaeaaak!

Like kicking a rolling soccer ball, he swung his right leg to kick Kim Taejoon who was approaching.

Paeaeaaeang!

Then, with a tremendous noise, Gameta’s right ankle snapped.

―Huh…?

The granite golem’s exterior was much tougher than expected.

「Hey? His foot’s broken!」

Reacting promptly, Yeongtae leaped to Gameta’s right side, and Younghyeom also leaped into the air without hesitation.

Kwaaat!

He aimed for Gameta’s neck.

「…Why am I doing this here?」

Despite baring his long fangs, General Kim Younghyeom was still struggling to adapt to his role as Yeongwoo’s ‘friend’.

To support Younghyeom, Yeongwoo shot an arrow towards Gameta’s left ankle.

Pewww!

While doing so, he commanded Jeonggu to throw a weapon.

“Black Sword! Throw it over there!”

“Huh?”

Jeonggu, who had been staring blankly as the three mutants attached themselves to Gameta, belatedly came to his senses and looked down at the two knives in his hands.

The Dragon’s Legacy and the Sword of Dullahan.

“Is… this it?”

Jeonggu held the particularly black Sword of Dullahan and swung his arm forcefully in the direction indicated by Yeongwoo.

Sswoeatt!

Immediately catching the Black Sword, he extended the blade up to 5 meters and swung it directly.

Hwaeaaeaaak!

Right towards Gameta’s chin.

―These guys!

Though quite threatening attacks were coming at him, Gameta couldn’t move his body.

His right foot was broken, his right arm was being pulled by the dotted-line humanoid, and the tiger clinging to his neck kept trying to gouge out his eyes.

So Gameta had no choice.

Hwaaat!

Dodging the Black Sword by flying into the air, he threw the ‘Golden Trail’ he held in his left hand onto the ground.

Kwaang!

Then, with his free left hand, he attempted to grab the white tiger clinging to his neck to tear it apart.

―Annoying bastards.

But just then, thanks to Yeongwoo’s shout from below, he involuntarily looked in that direction.

“Bastard! Catch!”

―…?

Looking towards the voice, Gameta saw Bastard flying towards him at high speed.

Perhaps in an attempt to save his comrade in some way, he hastily threw him.

―You’ve brought this upon yourself.

If he caught the sword, it would have been over, so he snorted.

―Now, behold! The true…!

And just as Gameta was about to catch Bastard confidently.

Pweeong!

A violet explosion occurred at the handle of Bastard.

―Ugh!

Yeongwoo had once again shot an arrow, hitting Bastard.

Thanks to that, Bastard bounced off at a strange angle into the distance, and in the meantime, General Kim Younghyeom, who had been persistently aiming for Gameta’s head, succeeded in gouging out one of his eyeballs.

「Ugh, why do I have to do this.」

He had poked out the villain’s eyeball with his long fang.

Squish!

At that moment, Gameta, who had not responded to Yeongwoo’s tormenting effects so far, made an agonized expression with his mouth.

―Krrrraah! How dare you!

And simultaneously.

Thud!

Yeongwoo moved right under Gameta, who was struggling in the air, and called out to Bastard who was bouncing up to the ceiling.

「Gnoll’s Iron Belt」 – Mutant Belt

【Remotely retrieve weapons.】

A traditional attack method that Yeongwoo had used since his days as a local swordsman.

“Die!”

As Yeongwoo swung his arm to summon Bastard, the mythical-class weapon floating high in the air descended rapidly.

Swooosh!

The crimson trace that split the extradimensional dungeon vertically.

“W-what…!”

“Oh my god!”

The three experts, who had been observing from the sidelines, widened their mouths as they watched the crimson trace pierce through Gameta’s flesh.

Although it was no different from a mass lynching by calling in mutants, it was true that Jeong Yeongwoo faced the six-player boss alone.

―Ah…!

Finally, Gameta let out a sigh for the first time and trembled his large wings.

Then.

Whooosh!

With his immense body now devoid of strength, he collapsed to the ground.

Kwaaaang!

As soon as he hit the ground, the three mutants began to mercilessly beat him, much like miners discovering a mineral deposit.

It was almost time to return, so they had to make a bit more effort to be able to afford the television.

「What, a damn dog?」

「Ugh, this guy!」

「Die quickly!」

“Mr. chairman… Maybe your family members are watching…”

Before Yeongwoo could add that they might be watching on television, his ‘friends’ stopped their movements first.

「Gasp.」

「Ah, already?」

As Yeongtae, who had been beating Gameta vigorously, gradually blurred, their summoning time had expired.

「Isn’t this guy dead yet?」

As General Kim Younghyeom, who had already become half-transparent, asked this, Yeongwoo slowly approached the fallen Gameta.

Then, it seemed like the Golden Trail was preparing for the usual ‘decapitation.’

-Weeeeeeng…!

If he felt as if he were angry for some reason, it might have been a misconception.

「We’re done here.」

Following this, chairman Kim Taejoon bid farewell with a disappointed voice and disappeared into thin air.

And then.

Sliiick, shiiriing!

Yeongtae and General Kim Younghyeom also concealed themselves one by one.

Now, only five humans and the giant Gameta remained in the dungeon.

―It was an absurd battle.

As Gameta lay on the ground, jotting down his brief thoughts on the battle, Yeongwoo approached his head.

Clack, clack.

In his right hand, he held the Bastard that Gameta had so desired.

―Challenger, Bastard… They’re still in your hands.

“You said you’ve seen this sword before, right?”

With these words, Yeongwoo postponed the execution as he suddenly remembered something.

“I’ve seen this sword before, haven’t I?”

―Yes, you saw it clearly during the last battle of the Vessadel.

As Gameta seemed to be sinking back into memories, Yeongwoo quickly asked again.

“Who was the owner of the sword at that time?”

Then, Gameta’s remaining eye squinted.

―The Bastard was originally the decisive weapon of the Vessadel royal family. Why do you ask about its owner? It seems you have no idea how myths are created.

“….!”

This means that the Bastard that Gameta last saw was a weapon carried by its original owner, the Vessadel royal family, for war.

‘Then how did the chairman acquire this weapon? Could it be that the chairman… of the Vessadel royal family…?’

Considering that one of the chairman’s attached epithets is ‘Destroyer,’ it wasn’t an impossible story.

“Th-the… how are mythical items created? Before you die, shouldn’t you give some guidance or something to this speck?”

As Yeongwoo spread out the child, the eerie shadow of this cursed sword crossed Gameta’s forehead.

―Ha, interesting.

Gameta chuckled wryly.

But even so, he gave a concise answer in a solemn tone, as if it were a dying wish.

―Only those who write their own myths can leave that achievement as tangible heritage. Vessadel killed the transcendent and gave birth to Bastard.

Then, Gameta gestured towards the shadow looming over his head.

–And you now hold that heritage. The phrase “How dare you” couldn’t be more fitting than this.

Gameta ventured into his memories once again.

From just looking at his expression, it was evident.

His lips had already sealed shut, so Yeongwoo sensed that it was finally time to carry out the execution.

“Well, I still don’t fully understand… but I understand that it’s something precious that must be treated with care.”

–…

“Then, farewell!”

As Yeongwoo finished speaking, the Golden Trail, which had been waiting in the air early on, shot down vertically, drawing its golden path like a signature.

Whaeeaack!

Inevitably, the Dogo pattern unfolded along with that trace.

Then, at the fleeting moment, Gameta, who noticed the wedge pattern, widened his eyes.

– Dogo…!

And at that same moment, the Golden Trail struck Gameta’s neck forcefully.

Tearrrring!

The problem was.

“…Huh?”

Gameta’s neck didn’t get severed instantly.

Even with a legendary greatsword whose blade width was about 40 centimeters, they couldn’t cut Gameta’s neck.

So, in the end.

“Hut!”

Yeongwoo swung down with all his might while holding the child in both hands.

Swoooosh!

Finally.

Thunk!

Gameta’s tough neck was severed, and his large head rolled across the arena floor.

「The Titan, Gameta, has been slain.」

The system notification officially announcing the death of the dungeon boss.

Then finally, the settlement process began.

[Sanctuary of Valor]

|Dungeon Grade: Normal

|Difficulty: C

|Recommended Participants: 6

「The dungeon has been completed.」

「Survivors: 5.」

All survived.

“Is… is it really over?”

As Jeonggu, also confirming the system notification, spoke as if he couldn’t believe it, Yeongwoo looked at Gameta’s head and said,

“From now on, it is the best part.”

「We will now calculate individual scores for rewards.」
