Only Noblemtl

Episode 132

A dungeon appeared in Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

Dungeon name, . A one-time dungeon where the boss monster is a quirk that has mastered poison.

It’s been quite some time since it appeared. Almost two months.

But still no one woke up.

“Damn it, there’s poison everywhere!”

“Hey! Take that guy away! He’s addicted!”

“Ahhhhh! My arm, my arm… …!”

It was because of the dungeon’s gimmick.

There are traps made of deadly poison placed everywhere, and the dungeon’s boss monster attacks.

That wasn’t all.

“What the hell, what kind of plants are these!”

“They’re attacking from there too!”

Inside the dungeon, the garden was filled with all kinds of plants.

Things like flowers, trees, and grass. They have a purple tint, so they look very beautiful on the outside.

That was until they attacked.

– Siaaaaah!

– Chew!

The plants moved as if they were alive and attacked people trying to enter the garden.

All attack methods are poisonous.

The spreading pollen, the brushing blades of grass, and the falling leaves all contained terrible poison.

In addition, there were poisonous swamps all around, making it impossible to ignore them and move quickly.

“Oh, no! You can’t wake up here!”

“How high does the poison resistance have to be… … .”

“Should I call for support from somewhere else?”

The moment when the hunters who were trying to conquer gave up and started to retreat.

A man entered the dungeon.

He was a skinny man wearing a thick suit of armor.

“Hey, are you new here?”

“Hey! If you go in by mistake, you’ll die! If you’re going in, make sure you have poison resistance… Hey!”

“Just going?”

Many people have already died here.

The hunters were worried, but the man paid no attention and strode briskly into the garden.

Plants blocked his path.

“I told you not to go.”

“Another one is going to fall.”

The hunters who were watching the scene thought that the plants would attack the man at any moment.

And then, after a while, something strange happened.

– Slurp.

“What is that?”

When people approached, the plants that were busy spewing poison began to make way.

Moving her body as if she had no intention of posing any threat to the man.

The hunters who saw that were dumbfounded.

“No, why are those kids doing that?”

“What has changed? If you go now… Whoa!”

“Whoa! It’s poison!”

Is something wrong with your plants?

The moment the hunter approached with that thought, the plants changed their attitude and started attacking.

The hunters retreat in fear.

Meanwhile, the man moved further away.

“Oh, oh, oh. Are you going in?”

“What? No, really, what is it?”

A man disappearing beyond the garden.

The hunters looked at his back with dumbfounded faces. And then, how much time had passed?

– Kwaaang! Boom!

– Kwaaaaah!

– Aha, ahahahahaha!

All sorts of sounds could be heard from inside the garden.

The sound of fire, explosions, someone screaming, and even the sound of a woman bursting into flames.

And exactly one hour later.

A message appeared before everyone’s eyes.

– The owner of , , died at the hands of someone.

– The dungeon has been cleared. It will close soon.

A completely unexpected message.

The hunters’ mouths opened wide. Who had raided the dungeon? That was a no-brainer.

That guy from a little while ago.

“What the hell… did you do?”

The dungeon closed, leaving such questions unanswered.

* * *

Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, outside the field.

Baek Sa-jun was pulling out the poison needles embedded in his armor in a nearby abandoned building.

Who shot that poisonous needle?

“Oh, you damn thing. Your stinger stings like a filthy dart.”

There was no need to say anything.

It was a guy named Ainz, the owner of the dungeon that Baek Sa-jun had conquered a little while ago, the .

A madman whose entire body was made of poison. All of his attacks were made of vicious poison.

‘I got completely eaten up thanks to your skills.’

It was meaningless to Baek Sa-jun, who had a skill that increased resistance to addiction by 100% and had also taken a potion that increased resistance to poison.

That was what I was aiming for in the first place.

The dungeon called is one where you can eat raw food as long as you have high resistance to poison.

The problem is that the requirements are extremely high, and it is difficult to achieve poison resistance.

“Hey, skeleton. Take the needle out of this.”

– Okay.

Ainz’s main weapon was his poison needle.

Baek Sa-jun ordered the skeleton to remove the poisonous needle, then checked the harvest he had obtained this time.

There were several items dropped by the frenzied patient, Ainz, but one was noteworthy.

[Orb of Poison (Epic)]

· A jewel that a madman spent many years trying to complete. However, he was poisoned in the process and lost consciousness, and was never completed. Although it does not have full power, it is still powerful.

· Poison attack power +105.

· Addiction damage increased by +30%.

· Ignore poison immunity +30%.

· The range of poison-related skills increases by 1.5 times.

· Poisoned enemies have their speed reduced by 15%.

· The item grows as you feed it poison.

[Skill Book: Poison Mist (Advanced)]

· A skill book containing the skill called ‘Poison Mist’.

Items related to poison.

That’s not all. It’s currently at Epic level, but there’s still room for further enhancement.

There was also a skill book there.

Baek Sa-jun immediately used the skill book.

[Poison Mist (Lv.1)]

· Grade: Advanced.

· Creates a venomous fog within a certain radius, poisoning enemies. It can also explode the poison mist to cause great damage.

Baek Sa-jun closed his eyes.

This is the level of reward from a dungeon that was eaten day by day. The reward was very substantial.

“I wish every day was like today.”

– Huh?

The skeleton that was pulling out the poison needle next to him tilted his head. I really wish it could be like this every day.

Of course, that’s not possible.

– Shut up! Shut up!

“Okay, throw away everything you’ve taken off.”

– Crunch.

The skeleton showed the poisonous needles that had been removed.

It was black and had poison on the end, as if someone had written “Do not touch.”

It means an ominous object.

“I brought the necessary items… … .”

Baek Sa-jun organized the things he had to do in his head.

A request from Magina Enterprise, and the heart of Jinjo.

‘Once I’m done with Magina Enterprise, I’ll have to figure out what to do with Jinjo’s heart. I should start using it.’

The problem is the resentment and curses that are ingrained within, but Yoo Jeong-hoon has the connections to solve it.

I guess I’ll have to ask for this as one of the rewards for this.

Baek Sa-jun got up from his seat.

“Let’s get to work, skeleton.”

– Okay.

It’s time to process the request given by Magina Corporation.

* * *

There is a company called Lupus.

These guys also appeared in the original work. Were they one of the guys who cooperated with the Apocalypse Force?

Of course, the specific gravity wasn’t that great.

‘Magic Enterprise. Their sales area overlaps with Magina’s, and they have clashed with each other several times over mining issues.’

To put it nicely, it was a clash, a fight where they risked their lives while pointing guns at each other.

In the end-of-the-world, magic stones become money.

What if there was a mine that produced such magic stones?

‘We have no choice but to fight to take it from each other.’

Since Lupus and Magina are located close to each other, they are bound to clash even more.

That’s why Lupus cooperated with the Soul Reavers to try to harm Magina Corporation.

Because they are a thorn in the eye of competing companies.

“Is that where the mine is?”

Suwon City, Gyeonggi Province.

An area where there once was a mountain, but now it is gone and there is now an entrance leading underground.

This is where the mine that Lupus Corporation purchased is located.

‘A mine was recently created, and the Lupus Corporation bought it through competition and war. The company’s executives and successors are personally stepping in to renovate the mine.’

That’s what Yoo Jeong-hoon said.

It was said that Lupus paid special attention to this mine because it was excellent in both quality and quantity of magic stones.

Naturally, the security is also strict.

‘The troops on Lupus’ side, including the mercenary group. How many mercenary groups have they hired?’

The area around the mine was filled with all sorts of defensive structures and hunters manipulating them.

And the hunters patrolling the area.

That number is not trivial. According to Yoo Jeong-hoon, it would be close to 8,900 people.

– Come and grab attention with flashy gestures. If you do that, we’ll take care of the rest.

That’s what Yoo Jeong-hoon said.

I don’t know how you plan to handle this.

“If we’re going to do it, we might as well provide some service.”

So there was an optimal means.

Baek Sa-jun waited for night to fall and then confirmed that a signal had arrived from Magina Enterprise.

He quietly raised his cane.

– Ss …

Mist flowed out from the staff.

A nightmare fusion created by Baek Sa-jun. The item created by combining three staffs had another skill other than Thanatos.

“Come again, tyrant.”

An ominous scream came from the staff.

Baek Sa-jun struck down his staff.

“Swallow my enemy.”

A thick fog covered all directions.

* * *

In the mine, many people were working busily.

Mining magic stones requires all kinds of equipment, and there is also a process for installing them. Since it was a newly opened mine, there was even more work to be done.

“You all are working very hard.”

“Whoaaah.”

Unlike the busy employees of the Lupus Corporation, the mercenaries standing guard were extremely leisurely.

That’s because there haven’t been any attacks lately.

In the beginning, they would attack from all over the place, but these days, at best, they would just come from monsters.

“Ha, I wish every day was like today.”

“Hehehe. This is to the point where I wonder if it’s okay to make money like this every day. It’s good to have a company with a lot of money!”

“So. Is it really necessary to write this much?”

The mercenary looked around.

A high wall surrounded the mine. There were defensive structures on top of it, and numerous mercenaries.

The Lupus Corporation’s defense forces guarded the perimeter of the mine, while some mercenaries patrolled outside.

There is even a force ready to rush in if something happens not too far away.

“It’s a total fortress, a fortress.”

“That makes sense. The successor to the Lupus Corporation is leading the way here.”

“Oh, that young master?”

The mercenaries frowned.

He is a pretty good hunter and also has a job. I saw him from afar, but he is also handsome.

The problem is its personality.

“You have such a fiery personality.”

“Yeah… Well, it’s not our place to be.”

“Well, what about mercenaries?”

The successor to the Lupus Corporation was known for his foul temper. There were rumors that more than a few people had lost their lives at his hands in anger.

But it wasn’t the mercenaries’ fault.

Because they are not that different.

“Hey, patrol shift! It’s your turn!”

“Ha, bitter… … .”

A shout was heard from beneath the barrier.

The mercenaries who had been chattering frowned and gathered their equipment. It was time for a boring patrol.

The moment you’re about to go down the barrier.

“…Huh? Hey, wait a minute.”

The mercenaries noticed something strange.

My vision is blurry. No, to be precise.

“Fog? What’s fog in this weather… … .”

A thick fog covered all directions.

The fog engulfed the entire mine. The damp air permeated my body. And for some unknown reason, I felt an unbearable sense of foreboding.

The moment the mercenary tries to shake off the ominous feeling.

– Whoa whoa… … .

“Ugh, ugh… … !”

With a cold whisper, a piercingly cold blade pierced the mercenary’s heart.

A blade came from behind. The mercenary opened his eyes wide and looked at the one who stabbed him.

“Hey, you little shit… … .”

That was a ghost.

Ghosts wearing old armor. Spirits wielding old swords, burning with hatred for the living.

The phantoms appeared without any warning and ambushed the mercenaries guarding the wall.

and.

– Swish!

The ghosts disappeared.

The surviving mercenaries desperately chased after the ghosts. However, there was no need to chase them for long.

“Okay, wait a minute!”

“That, that, that is… … .”

Beyond the barrier, thick fog.

Because it was revealed in it.

– Knights who serve me even in death… … .

What appeared from the fog were hundreds of knights.

Knights mounted on ghostly horses awaited their lord’s orders, burning with hatred for the living.

And at the forefront is the tyrant.

The king, wearing a shattered crown and carrying a huge halberd on his shoulder, pulled the reins of his horse.

– Advance. Kill all the living… … !

– Khaaaaah!

The ghost horse kicked the ground.

A huge wave of ghosts passed through the barrier blocking their path and entered the interior in an instant.

And after a while.

“Waaaaaaah!”

“Hey, save me!”

A scream echoed through the mine’s surface.

The screams of those being slaughtered by the tyrant and his knights.
