I Became the Villain’s Childhood Friend

chapter 23



23 – [1] Lich of Fury

#023

“Don’t be too scared, relax and let’s go.”

“It should be easy.”

She leads and I follow.

Considering the difference in skill, it was a safe choice, but as if this choice was overshadowed, the skeleton did not appear.

Just horribly broken wreckage and settled dust.

And there were only remnants of a civilization that might have once achieved great things.

The end of the ruins was approaching.

Either with us or with these ruins.

I looked up at the open section in the middle.

Buildings that have been crushed or are being crushed came into view.

Perhaps because the state of the magic lamp was blurry, the structures were a deep bluish green.

It was a color that you would only see in a horror movie where CG was well mixed.

Chunmari followed me, sticking its head out over the railing and looking up.

Soon, a small exclamation flowed from the side.

“Looks like it’s worth keeping as a painful moment in the deceased’s life. Too bad I don’t have a camera.”

“The crisis hasn’t come yet, so what kind of nonsense is the deceased’s life?”

Uh oh denial Tala.

He hasn’t even escaped yet, but he’s planting the wrong flag.

“Well, isn’t it possible that you don’t have time even right before you get screwed? Oh yes, it’s Jiangshi. If I die here, will you leave a note on the grave?”

“… … What is it?”

“It seems like the character was raised wrong. I’m going to resema. effort.”

“You crazy bastard.”

He’s obviously a regressor hunter with a lot of experience, so why can’t he be so trustworthy?

Even the atmosphere was supposed to be very serious, but it was so light.

If I die here, I feel like I won’t die even if I die.

It seemed that he would remain as Jibakryeong and take pictures of his legendary hometown.

I continued to walk, listening to a thousand horses talking nonsense.

At some point, I arrived at the deepest ground.

A lot of filthy piles of rubble and—

Moongrauk, moongrauk.

There were skeletons bouncing around on the floor.

Struck by rubble and scattered in obscurity, the guys tried to rampage.

It wasn’t that he really ran amok because it was always an effort.

Still, the sight of a corpse fluttering was not a very bad sight for the mind and body.

Fortunately, he had seen too many skeletons, so he was not very impressed.

We kicked the head of the skeleton rolling on the floor and moved on again.

I went straight to the hidden room.

“Um, I found it.”

Actually, I didn’t wander too much.

The appearance he found at once was enough to add suspicion to the thousand.

very seriously.

If someone other than me had been here, they would have suspected the true identity of the Thousand Demons from long ago.

He’s suspiciously good at fighting, suspiciously familiar with situations like this, suspiciously good at emergency treatment, suspiciously familiar with geography, and even if it’s not that, the fact that he came to find a hidden item based on rumors itself is suspicious.

I know the structure of the ruins and I have to survive quickly, so maybe I’m just trying to find it.

Or maybe it’s because he looks like a freshman in middle school with less hair.

What is certain is that it was difficult to pretend not to know if he kept expressing his suspiciousness in this way.

Perhaps if these days come several times, problems will arise for real.

“Sian, don’t you think a hidden room will come out if you go in here?”

“uh… … That’s right.”

Still, living comes first, so I set the rhythm.

In response, Chunmari entered the long alleyway of the hidden room.

“Look at this. There are traces of cleaning in other places, but this place has not been cleaned at all.”

“Looks like a fairly old place.”

“The bones are all old and on the verge of twisting. Some of them are even crumbled from being bitten by something.”

I threw one of the magic lights that fell outside and threw it inside.

Then, more and more mountains of bones were revealed.

“How nice it would be if those bones belonged to the Germans.”

A thousand of them sighed and began to advance with their bodies bent.

I followed him and pulled out my dagger.

“what’s this… … ?”

I was going deeper and deeper along the straight road.

The corpses of those with flesh, not bones, finally appeared.

I hurriedly approached and checked again.

There was no pulse anywhere on the mangled body, and a name tag proving that he was a hunter was hung on his chest.

I’ve checked others, but they’re all the same.

Chunmari carefully drew his sword.

“I’ll be watching, so pick up anything useful from the corpse.”

However, there were not many things to take care of.

The contents of the bottle or can have long since spilled out.

The armor had no room to fit in the first place, and the weapons were almost nonexistent.

At least he searched every nook and cranny of his body, and all three scrolls came out.

“5 minute delay, compound blast scroll? Isn’t this rarely used when demolishing buildings?”

However, it was not a very useless item.

Because exploding meant it could blow something up.

“The scroll I was carrying could have been lacking in power… … I’m glad though.”

Chunmari was sincerely relieved, perhaps not knowing that the scroll was here.

It was unavoidable because a regressor wouldn’t know even the smallest things.

“… … But, I don’t feel good.”

and then said

It said that a fight was coming.

This was no relief.

Before long, he handed me the two scrolls and the tape he was holding.

“One is an earthquake scroll. The other is Explosive Scroll. The first thing you do when you get inside is tear the seismic scroll from the middle of the room.”

“In the middle, earthquake scroll.”

“And inside the room there will be two things. One is supported by pillars. The other is supported only by walls.”

“I think a room like this in the basement without a single pillar would be quite vulnerable.”

“Perhaps. So, a form supported only by walls should be able to collapse with a casual throw of an earthquake and explosive scroll. But if it’s a room with pillars… … .”

“You mean you have to destroy all the pillars with the Explosive Scroll.”

“Right, there may be more pillars than scrolls, but destroying just a few of them will bring the entire room down.”

The explosion scrolls I’m holding right now are 4 in total.

Chapter 1 is of a slightly different kind, but anyway, these 4 chapters had a total delay of 5 minutes.

And now, after a thousand horses activate all the scrolls at once.

It was to attach it to several pillars and run to the gate.

“I understand.”

“And to be honest, I don’t know what lies at the end of this road. Maybe there is a boss.”

The last obstacle preventing us from surviving here.

Even though it seemed ambiguous, it was said that it was real.

“It would be impossible to hunt it down. Even though quite a few hunters were mobilized, it got to this point.”

“Then-”

“I will take my time unconditionally. In the meantime, you work on the scroll.”

Hunting impossible.

I thought that an experienced regressor would be able to hunt.

But is it just a level to drag out time?

Considering that the pouring monsters are generally low grade, isn’t the boss also low grade?

That he can’t handle it?

Since I was making a shocked expression, he laughed.

“But don’t worry too much, I’ll make sure you can survive if things don’t go well.”

It didn’t match the expression at all.

The thousand horses started walking forward again.

“… … .”

I suddenly had a question.

Why are you being so nice to me today?

Even if you make such a promise to God, nothing good will happen to you.

Thousands are said to be regressors, but it would have been a painful process to walk back the path they had trodden on as regressors.

The best thing for her was to let me die and be rescued alone.

What’s more, in the game, he was a cruel man with no friends and a complete villain.

It could be said that there was no reason for this to be a hidden boss.

I looked at her as if she didn’t understand.

However, the only thing that changed was the road to becoming miserable.

It was the moment when I finally found the end of the road, the exit gate and four pillars.

A red-bone skeleton shaman stood up in front of him.

“The Lich of Fury.”

A boss you can meet from the beginning of the game.

From the second half, it turns into a rubbish mob, but it was no different from a huge wall for a player who just got out of the first half.

Chunmari threw off his bag and approached him fearlessly.

The black blade glowed, and the lich’s eyes shone.

They were on the verge of standing right in front of each other, and it was really about to happen.

Chew!

The black curve advanced as if it would break the head.

It was as fast as the wind, and it looked powerful just from the sinews on its wrists.

kang-!

The blow was not as strong as the actual power.

The blade was in contact with the head.

Unfortunately, Richie only tilted his head.

Eventually, as the thousand of them shook their swords, blue particles flew from the tips as if they were dying.

protective film.

It’s not just a shield that blocks non-magical attacks like bullets, but a shield that can even offset attacks with magical power like now.

“Sir… … !”

It was compatible.

This guy with so many shields had to be treated with magic that specialized in dismantling shields.

However, the Thousand Horse continued to back away from magic.

On the contrary, Richie moved slowly toward her.

It seemed like an act of being pushed, but it wasn’t like that.

Richie gradually moved out of the center of the room.

It was a chance.

As soon as the lich got a little farther away, I ran.

Soon, before the creepy eyes reached me, I arrived at the middle of the room.

Immediately, as planned, I took out the scroll from my bosom.

[Basic Earthquake Magic Scroll]

[Please use this as a guide! If you tear elsewhere, the magic circle inside the scroll may be damaged!]

I tore off the top of the Earthquake Scroll.
