Chapter 813: The Last (46)


-Vice Guild Master! Vice Guild Master?


“I know. I will tell you when the situation has cleared up.”


-Is this Jihye’s doing?


“Wait. Wait a minute. I’m in a hurry right now. I think she probably did it. I’ll tell you the details later.”


-What? Now? Seriously?


-Kiyoung… Kiyoung.


“…”


-Kiyoung!


“Keep your place, Sunset Swordsman. I believe that you will be able to get through this crisis.”


Kim Hyunsung was confused, but I had no choice but to be consistent with evasive words for now.


-Get ready for battle! Monsters are flocking like packs of dogs. Sh*t!


-Save Castle Rock! Don’t collapse!


-If the front line collapses, it’s over. The general public will also be swept away.


‘No, fuck, it looks like it’ll be broken.’


-This is the end, the end… The Goddess of Light is angry. It must be that she brought judgment on humans. Ha… Hahahahahahahahaha!


-We’re all going to die! Sh*t! We’re all going to die! We’re paying the price of living on the continent where the Son of Light was sacrificed… This is where we die!


- Crazy bastard! You’re totally crazy! Fuck! Jericho! Take this bastard inside!


-The Goddess of Light must be angry. We sacrificed her son. Oh, Benignore. Oh, Benignore! Please forgive us. Pity the stupid mortals and give us one more chance! Benignore! Please respond to my voice.


-Stop it! Stop it! Sh*t! Call for support! Request support! What the hell is the New Continental Protection and Management Committee doing!


What would they be doing?


-How did this happen? This… Is this reality? Really… Have the gods really forsaken us?


They were in the middle of a countermeasure meeting.


-The end of all life, the resurrection of the Son of Light, and why the entire continent become a dungeon… Are you saying no one can explain this crazy situation? The Benignore Church… What did the Holy See say about this?


-They haven’t made any official announcements yet… They really seem to think that this might be Benignore’s will.


-If it is, do they mean to accept this situation? How can they do that? Didn’t the message say that this is the end of all life, that it would be satisfied only when the continent is destroyed?


-Isn’t there a way to resurrect the Son of Light?


-If that were possible, there would be no reason for Benignore to bring this judgment. The Goddess of Light would have raised the Son of Light herself. This is punishment. It is the damnation of arrogant humans who live thinking only of themselves. There was no option in the first place for the resurrection of Lee Kiyoung. Benignore just… wants the humans living on the continent to realize their sins and destroy themselves.


-That is an over-interpretation. She wouldn’t want… us to…


-Think of the recent incident. I don’t know what crazy guys they are… but they dared covet the body of the Son of Light. Do you think the goddess has no reason to be angry? No parents would want to see their son’s body being sold on the black market and defiled. It’s no wonder she’s enraged. She has truly abandoned the continent.


-…


-If we bring those crazy guys to her statue, wouldn’t her anger die down a little?


-Yes. We must calm her with the blood of the madmen who coveted the Saint of Light’s magic.


-You don’t even know where they are!


-Then shouldn’t we just bring anyone we can take? Otherwise, everyone will die. Everyone will be tormented for eternity!


-No, maybe there is a way to resurrect the Son of Light.


-I bet there isn’t!


-Shouldn’t we try it at least? We have to ask the Blue Guild, and the Holy See for cooperation. If we call the continent’s wizards, priests, or adventurers with special abilities, wouldn’t we be able to find even a tiny hint? Let’s call them right now. Let’s send an official letter…


-Do we have time to do that right now? We must protect his body in the name of the New Continental Protection and Management Committee!


They had gone into a complete panic state.


It was perplexing even to me.


The entire continent was turned into a dungeon, making it reasonable that the undead and monsters were raging wildly.


The timing was also impeccable…


‘It feels like it fits perfectly.’


From their point of view, it wasn’t that unconvincing for it to be involved with the body of the Saint of Light.


It was Song Sookyung who calmed everyone down.


-Everyone, stop! It’s not too late to take action slowly. Protecting the citizens is our priority. The entire continent is under attack by monsters. People in small towns must be moved to large cities, and the gates must be locked. What we do after that is also important, but the damage must be minimized first.


-…


-Unexpected circumstances have occurred, but not to the extent that we cannot respond. We will adjust the continental disaster rating to the highest level. Call the troops. This means war.


While the mortals were upset, those in our realm couldn’t take it easy either.


“Junior Lee Kiyoung! Junior Lee Kiyoung!”


Benignore, arriving late, was distorted and perplexed.


Her face was so full of emotions that what Belial and I felt was nothing compared to hers.


“What should we do? What should we do? It turned into a dungeon, didn’t it?”


The one who came with her stood out. A Goddess, a little shorter than Benignore, came with her.


‘Lauren?’


“It’s as you can see. I never thought this would be possible, but… Ah! Lauren is also here.”


“Long time no see, human.”


“Lauren! Watch your words! I told you to behave!”


“Okay, unnie. It’s been a while, Lee Kiyoung. And… the dirty demon that I don’t even want to see the face of is also here.”


“It’s nice to see you again, Lauren.”


“Please stay a step away from him right now, unnie.”


“Lauren! What are you doing now?!”


“We at least have to protect ourselves. Fixing the problem is what we need to do right now, but I can’t tolerate that disgusting demon breathing the same air as you. It’s dirty. We don’t know when he might threaten you with those disgusting hands…”


“That hurts. I am confident that I have lived cleanly.”


“Lauren! You have to put your weapon down!”


Lauren was holding a giant halberd. I couldn’t really imagine how she could handle it with that little body, but she looked quite familiar with it. She was quite different from Benignore, who was holding her spear and shield clumsily.


Belial didn’t seem nervous, but it seemed that he felt that an annoying situation had come.


Thinking they wouldn’t stop even if he said something, he looked at me quietly, seemingly conveying he wanted me to mediate.


“H-He’s on our side now! Belial is on our side too! I know he’s a trash devil that we can’t ever live with, but he’s still on our side!”


“Unnie, you don’t really trust that demon, right?”


“Laureeen! Laureeeeen! Won’t you obey me?”


“It’s fine. Benignore.”


“Junior Lee Kiyoung! Don’t stop me! I told her so many times already… I have to teach her a lesson today!”


“No, you don’t have to be enraged, Benignore. I can understand Lauren’s feelings. She will be anxious. She may not be familiar with it. It goes without saying that working with the demon commander cannot be understood with the gods’ old mindset. Oh! You can hold your weapon, Lauren. Just don’t swing it.”


“Did you hear that, unnie?”


“I heard you would be joining us… it’s nice to meet you again. I would have arranged something better if I had known you’re coming.”


“No, it’s okay. Hum… I mean, Lee Kiyoung. The current situation is too urgent for that. So…”


“The continent has become a dungeon.”


“I know that. I also know that monsters and undeads are flocking to the cities. I saw it. Thanks to it, our side is also in disarray. They haven’t heard of anything like that, and they’ve never even thought about it.”


“Is there any workaround?”


“We have no choice but to wait for the dungeon state to be stopped. That has been allowed by the system… As always, the only thing we can do is to leave the rest to humans… The problem is that this is not an ordinary dungeon. I guess the situation is a little special.”


“…”


“You know that a dungeon is basically an independent space completely blocked from the outside, right? To explain it a little more accurately…”


“No. There is no need to explain. The problem is probably bigger than I thought.”


She nodded.


‘It’s going to be crazy.’


I could understand why the World Tree, which could be said to be a treasure of infinite resources and a gift from the gods, was the first to be destroyed.


‘It’s going to be really crazy.’


At that moment, humans busied themselves with stopping the monster wave. The continent becoming a dungeon was bound to cause more problems than I thought.


The sky was covered in darkness, and the sea was also engulfed by dark matter. Humans had lost places to get illumination, one of their basic needs.


The first side effect that I thought of was…


‘Resources.’


“Yes. The gods’ gifts will no longer be reborn on the continent. At least until the dungeon is cleared, there is a high possibility that it will remain in this state. It will be an important problem for humans. I want to believe in them, but… maybe…”


“There may be a possibility of a war.”


“Yes. Not only will they fall into chaos, but if this phenomenon persists for a long time, it will result in all humans in the present world…”


“…”


“They will starve to death.”


“…”


“It’s very bad. I knew well that she had a trash soul, but to be that disgusting… I just want to watch the humans in this world create hell and burn each other! You shouldn’t let them come here, unnie.”


I didn’t know if she could say that in front of Jihye, who had already become her boss. However, seeing all kinds of negative things she said, she seemed to be anxious.


Didn’t it seem to show that our current situation wasn’t good?


‘She went a bit too far, though.’


I also knew that Jihye would cause trouble, but… I wondered if she would really want to watch such chaos unfold.


She might think that gathering all sorts of human groups who had to die and having them kill each other was a way for them to mourn my death.


‘You know that I’m alive, right?’


There was no way she wouldn’t know. She most likely made a hypothesis, but I thought she prepared various plans since she wasn’t sure about it.


If her hypothesis collapsed, it wouldn’t be weird to assume that she had prepared something so that she could look at the end of the continent at any time.


That wasn’t the only thing that I was anxious about.


Although it was an over-interpretation to say that it was an anxiety-inducing factor…


“Kim Hyunsung.”


And just as expected…


The Sunset Swordsman was looking up at the top of the dark dungeon with a smile.
