Chapter 179: Saintess (1)

The griffin, Gigantes, the hydra . . . and Yihi!

The number was small, but exceptional existences emerged from the dungeon .

In particular, the hydra was beyond imagination and its body could be seen from a very far distance .

Except for Yihi, the combination was something that I couldn’t hide .

Immediately after exiting the dungeon, there was a huge sound . The hydra left huge marks behind it as it destroyed the terrain while the griffin flew in the sky .

Kung! Kuuong!

I wandered around Seoul after coming out .

There were three high class creatures so the humans couldn’t approach at all .

"Guild Master, what should I do? I am ready for battle . . . ”

Yoo Eun-hye muttered in a small voice . Yoo Eun-hye, Edward and elite members of Heaven's Will were chasing after the high class creatures . The role given to them was to observe without going closer .

Fortunately, the creatures were only moving within Seoul without acting, but they didn’t know when that would change .

“ . . . How terrible . ”

However, Kim Yong-woo didn’t answer . Kim Yong-woo could feel a little bit of the strength of the three creatures . It was especially strong from the huge creature with nine heads .

Without even looking at it, an instinctive warning rang in his head to avoid it as much as possible .

“A monster wave?”

No matter how strong Yoo Eun-hye was, she couldn’t hunt a high class monster . It was to the extent that she would only be able to buy time .

Kim Yong-woo shook his head .

"That's not it . It seems to be related to the change in the dungeon . . . ”

It was difficult to know what was going on . He couldn’t guess what the three creatures had gathered together to do .

So they needed to keep as far away from the three creatures as possible .

In the meantime, the high class creatures faced a group of orcs that hadn’t evacuated yet .

Kwang! Kururung!

The first one that moved was Gigantes . On top of that, the griffin used a breath attack from above . Dozens of orcs couldn’t react and were melted .

The hydra didn’t attack .

However, it was absolutely stronger than the griffin and Gigantes .

Just seeing it was enough to cause a tremor to run through his body .

It wasn’t only Kim Yong-woo . The elites could only watch the slaughter with fear .

“Crazy . . . ”

There was no need to look twice .

Kim Yong-woo’s mouth moved before he thought about it .

"Tell the other teams . Absolutely never touch that group . ”

“Yihihi~”

Yihi was excited .

This was the first time she had left the dungeon and experienced Earth .

This was a new and thrilling experience for Yihi . She always felt joy when exploring unknown things .

Now everything seemed lovely in Yihi’s eyes .

She sat on one of the hydra’s heads and looked down at the ground .

“It would be great if Yihi could build a garden in this place . What do you think?”

Below her were the corpses of the orcs, but Yihi didn’t care at all . She saw corpses every day .

“Little fairy! Be in trouble! From Master!”

Gigantes vehemently opposed the idea . He had a great deal of experience with Yihi’s playfulness .

"Do you think Yihi is going to do something bad?”

“Yes! Please!"

“No . Yihi will only do good deeds in the future . The garden . . . well ~ that’s right . ”

"What?”

"You don’t know? Yihihihi . Are you a big fool? Yihi knows many things ~”

Yihi was irritating Gigantes .

In fact, Yihi didn’t even know what she was saying .

She just thought that Gigantes’ reaction was funny .

“Little fairy! Trouble!”

Yihi didn’t listen at all .

She showed a willingness to establish a base here .

Yihi’s eyes flashed and she grabbed a few seeds .

Soon afterwards, she sneakily hid it from Gigantes’ eyes and scattered the seeds on the ground .

“Yihihihihi!”

I watched the movement of the creatures from afar .

‘Duke Martin . Will he be watching? Or . . . ’

The creatures had been moving for three days . They seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but every action was being observed by Martin .

‘Where are you hiding? There certainly must be a goal . Show your movements . ’

I searched for the location where Martin might be hiding . On the surface, I seemed to be cleaning up the creatures around my dungeon but my purpose was Martin’s death .

‘Martin can see a set future . He is the most difficult to kill of Pandemonium’s demons . I must use this opportunity to kill him . ’

The ability to see the future was a cheat but it was far from universal . There were many restrictions and the future was uncertain .

But when it came to his ‘life’, he became aware of situations where he could become a ghost . In my previous life, he was one of the demons who survived until the end .

Martin attacked Seoul using the creatures but disappeared as soon as the high class ones left the dungeon .

However, he wouldn’t have retreated .

He was hiding somewhere and watching for an opportunity .

The problem was determining Martin’s goal .

I was waiting for his next move because I couldn’t guess .

‘This?’

A few days had passed .

I discovered a group of goblins carrying something .

They were moving a few human females . I immediately noticed that the females were Awakened .

‘What are they trying to do by catching Awakened?’

My eyes narrowed . It was true that the Korean Awakened had remarkable growth compared to the Awakened of other countries, but there was no reason to capture them .

If he wanted points, it was better just to wipe them out . Awakening wasn’t hereditary so the was no need to kidnap them .

They were also only women .

If it was simple lust, there was no reason to only choose the Awakened .

‘There is something . ’

I had an intense hunch .

I slowly and quietly followed the goblins . I needed to act cautiously to stay below Martin’s radar .

A cave inside the mountains .

A lich examined the women captured by the goblins .

"Tsk, the tanned skin means that I can’t easily determine their age . ”

The lich’s gleaming eyes seemed to penetrate through the women .

A total of eight women were trembling with fright as they avoided its eyes .

They wanted to live but when they examined the surroundings, their mouths naturally stayed closed . There were dozens, perhaps hundreds of naked women all over the place . They were all pale like the blood had been drained from them when they died .

There were some who weren’t dead, but trapped in a cage . And . . . some were being used as the playthings of the creatures . It was clear that they would soon die .

“Huooh . . . ”

“P-please spare me . ”

The women burst into tears .

They didn’t want to die . Even if they were Awakened, they all cared about preserving their lives .

The lich said cynically .

“Kulkul, don’t worry . If you are ‘suitable’ than you will receive more hospitality than anyone else . I just need to verify it first . You should answer honestly . Humans in their 20s, raise your hands . ”

Six people raised their hands .

The lich nodded .

"The goblins brought the proper ones this time . ”

The lich reached out to the two women who didn’t raise their hands .

Chwack!

They were beheaded .

It happened in the blink of an eye .

" . . . . . . !"

The women stiffened . They couldn’t scream . Their mental strength was stronger due to the increased intelligence, but that was useless in the face of death . Every women had a limit .

"There is no need for those not in their 20s . Now, the rest are in their 20s, correct?”

It was silent .

The lich didn’t like it and moved his fingers .

“No answer . Tsk tsk . ”

“T-that’s right . . . ”

"2 . . . 23 . ”

The surviving six women responded .

The lich took the next step .

It took out a small water bottle that continued a white mucus .

"From now on, I will feed you this potion . If you are suitable, there will be a sign on your body . If not, you will end up like those women over there . ”

He pointed to the women who were the playthings of the creatures . Their flesh was cut with a knife while their mouths were forced to do shameful things to the orcs . Little by little, the women who couldn’t scream anymore were killed .

They thought this place was hell .

The ones who reached their limits were killed by the creatures .

"Drink . "

The lich forced the bottle into the mouth of a woman .

The woman resisted as much as possible but the lich forced it into her mouth .

“Cough! Cough!”

As soon as she drank it, the woman’s body started twisting in strange directions . She collapsed on the ground and her mouth became slack after 30 seconds .

"It seems like you aren’t suitable . Well, there are still five women left so it isn’t hopeless . ”

"W-what should we be suitable for?”

A woman who was watching barely managed to open her mouth .

The lich paused for a moment and replied .

"Duke Martin can see the future . He predicted that a ‘saintess’ would be born on this narrow land mass . I am trying to figure out if you are the ‘saintess . ’ Has that answered your question?”

“S-Saintess . . . ”

"Kulkulkul . It seems unlikely that a powerful saintess would be born on this earth, but Martin-nim’s prophecies are never wrong . ”

The lich once again grabbed a potion .

The women bit their lips with a gloomy expression .
