[The King’s Grave] (1)
“Ahh!” the scream rang through the dungeon’s hallway, in ripples, easily heard from miles away. It was a familiar voice.
“Lee Dong-joon?”
Was that him?
Choi Kang-hyun felt his heart pounding. Is he hurt? Has he been attacked by a monster?
He woke up and looked around; Lee Dong-joon was not there. The scream was probably his.
“Are you so far away?”
At that moment, as if electricity was flowing, the creeps spread through his whole body.
In interpreting the word ‘Kavali’ written on the wall of the dungeon, he had no idea that he was ahead of others. It was one of the phenomena that occurred when using knowledge-based abilities.
Blind change.
Once you lost in language interpretation of other dimensions, a change blindness phenomenon that neglected the surrounding reaction was to occur.
It was the reason why the language interpreter needed a security hunter.
Kang-hyun’s current security hunter is Lee Dong-joon.
When starting to interpret the language of other races, Lee Dong-joon always protected Kang-hyun.
But now, he had no such guardian.
“Choi Kang-hyun!”
Tadak-
Kang-hyun urgently followed the voice that called his name.
“What happened to you?”
Lee Dong-joon was the only one who could take care of him through the dangerous monster section right now.
There were two Lucca Guild A-class hunters, but the only bodyguard that Kang-hyun believed was Lee Dong-joon.
“Brother, what happened to you?”
It was terrible enough to make him think
‘What am I thinking now?’
Choi Kang-hyun shook his head.
The most important thing was the state of Lee Dong-joon, who was close to him. If Dong-joon gets hurt or dies, it is hard for him to handle himself.
Tadak-
“He ran without breathing.”
He had never thought of Lee Dong-joon going to be attacked by a monster or anyone; that is why he was more impatient.
Kuh-hugh.
Lee Dong-joon sat down. It seemed that the pain inflicted on his stomach was severe.
“No!”
Kang Hyun went even further and approached Lee Dong-joon.
“Brother!”
Hearing the voice of Kang-hyun, Lee Dong-joon grabbed his abdomen and screamed evil.
“The fugitive! Run away, Kang-hyun!” Lee Dong-joon cried desperately.
It was a time when his heart was softened and down.
visor-
A sword blade with a sharper mana came into his chin.
Someone hiding in the dark of the dungeon wall put a sword in Kang-hyun’s neck
“Suction!
Kang-hyun stopped breathing.
Compared to the black sword surrounded by mana, its killing power is twice as much as the black sword.
The same was true of Kang’s sword aiming at the neck.
“Hey, assistant. Don’t waste your precious time doing it,” said the opponent.
Kang-hyun turned his head carefully and looked at the man that stabbed him.
Bang Sang-cheol. He is a class A hunter in the Lucca Guild with combat characteristics.
He shifted his gaze and looked at Bang Sang-cheol’s sword. Now he knew who attacked Lee Dong-jun.
Kang-hyun asked with an incomprehensible eye, “What are you doing now?”
It was a natural question since Bang Sang-cheol was the client of this mission.
Bang Sang-cheol twisted his lips and said with a smile “It’s a simple business. There is one thing to do here.”
“Work?” Kang-hyun asked with anger. “Aren’t you interpreting the language in the grave right now because of your request?”
Bang Sang-cheol smiled and said, “Yes, but no. That is not what we want.”
“If not? What did you ask for language interpretation?” Kang-hyun asked.
In response, Bang Sang-cheol pointed under his feet with a sword-free hand.
Underground?
“You want to open the basement where the association has ordered you not to access it? Are you crazy?”
Bang Sang-cheol pushed the sword closer. “Hey, assistant. Should I be careful?”
He still had a smile on his face, but he seemed cold somewhere.
What should he say?
“Shhh! Ugh.”
He wanted to pick something up, but when he saw Lee Dong-joon, who was suffering, his heart became urgent.
Kang-hyun took a deep breath to calm himself, and asked, “What do you want?”
The answer came from the back, not Bang Sang-cheol, “It’s like the first request. Language interpretation.”
It was Cheon Tae-young, a class A hunter with magic in the dungeon.
Cheon Tae-young said, “As it turns out, there are only a few hunters who are fluent in the Kavali language among the knowledge hunters registered with the association.”
It was true. Kavali Interpretation Hunter is not a very popular occupation; it’s not where money is.
“By the way?” When Kang-hyun asked with a sharp tone, Bang Sang-cheol cried.
“Hey, assistant. Suddenly the words got shorter?”
It was an aggressive question, but Choi Kang-hyun had no intention of stepping back.
So, he grabbed his heart as much as possible and asked, “Did you think I was on the floor to threaten you guys?”
He was not afraid.
No, he should not have to.
It is a terrifying situation.
There was a sword that had mana of cyphers running under the uvula.
It means that Bang Sang-cheol could move his hand and decide to die.
There.
“Heoah. Heo.”
His guardian Lee Dong-jun was slowly dying.
The situation is normal when the mind is confused and broken.
Nevertheless, Choi Kang-hyun, holding his fists tightly, was holding onto the mental line.
Any hunter who enters or exits the gate always lives with death in mind.
It is valid for both combat and non-combat hunters.
Of course, there was a difference between them in accepting that fear.
Any person with a strong heart is ready to die anytime, while a person with a weak one is always worried about death.
Kang-hyun chose not to be obsessed with death.
Even though he was a hunter of powerless knowledge, he had his pride.
Heuk-
Bang Sang-cheol smiled when Kang-hyun’s attitude was strange.
“I thought everyone was scared but did they unexpectedly have a pulpit?”
“Kang-hyun’s actions were unusual,” said the guy.
“Good. Good. If you are a sweet man, you should have that guts. I will say it simply. You only need to follow us and open one of the chambers.”
Stone room requiring a language interpreter.
That only means that it is not an ordinary stone chamber.
Is there a basement for King Kasanbad’s grave?
It never meant to act for good.
“What if I don’t?”
Scoop-
Bang Sang-cheol muttered something to himself and pulled out the sword in Kang-hyun’s neck.
“Okay, should I start by cutting one arm?”
He was aiming precisely at the right side of Kang Hyun’s arm
His head turned quickly.
It was unlikely that he would leave the dungeon alive just to help them.
When he is done, it is a criminals’ job to get rid of eyewitnesses.
It was clear that these guys were killing themselves and Lee Dong-jun.
But what if he does not cooperate with them?
They are going to kill and torture him.
The calculation is over.
“Please cure my brother Lee Dong-joon.”
Bang Sang-cheol laughed and said, “Why should I?”
“Otherwise, I don’t cooperate either,” Kang-hyun said.
“This kid?”
visor-
Bang Sang-cheol raised the sword.
Stiff-
Choi Kang-hyun closed his eyes without knowledge.
His shoulder may be torn off.
In fear, his heart was at his throat.
“I did not lose!”
Kang-hyun felt like he was going to fall from dizziness, but he held his fist firmly and endured as much as possible. He did not want to kneel to them even if they were the dying one.
“Stop. There is no time to turn it off. Please help and treat me so I will live.”
Cheon Tae-young stopped Bang Sang-cheol.
Choi Kang-hyun opened his eyes.
Bang Sang-cheol glanced at Kang Hyun and shouted, “That offspring needs to cut off its shoulders to listen!”
“Okay. Hurry. There is no time.”
“Oh no! Damn! Like a beggar!”
Bang Sang-cheol, who had a slight nerve war with Cheon Tae-young, grumbled as if he was annoyed and approached Lee Dong-joon.
There was a healing potion in his hand.
In any case, it meant that Cheon Tae-young was higher than Bang Sang-cheol.
Cheon Tae-young whispered into Kang-hyun’s ear, “You take courage virtually. It is your request in return.”
puck-
“Ugh!”
He felt a lot of pain from his abdomen, and he choked his breath.
It seemed that Cheon Tae-young’s fist inserted in his stomach.
“Quick!”
dump-
The pain was so great that he fell to the floor.
Then, Cheon Tae-young, who was hitting the magic with one hand, said, “I like to behave. But that is what people like me want to do. This time, I hit it gently. Next time, all his ribs could be shattered.”
“Huh-uh.”
Choi Kang-hyun struggled to breathe and looked at Lee Dong-joon.
Chuck-tuk-tuk-tuk-
“Okay!”
Bang Sang-cheol was dropping the healing potions on the wounds of Lee Dong-joon little by little.
He will not die.
Cheon Tae-young was annoyed by the delay and pulled out a watch from his pocket to check
Two things were confirmed.
One is that their purpose is to get some stone room underground.
And the second one?
They need Kang-hyun’s skills. They cannot kill him until they were done.
That was enough.
Perhaps there was a way to survive in that grave.
Choi Kang-hyun helped Lee Dong-joon to rise from his seat by placing his arm on his shoulder.
“Huh!”
The sound of Lee Dong-joon and his impressions have crumbled.
Although the wounds are already healed, it still looked painful.
“Are you okay?”
Lee Dong-joon answered in a difficult voice, “I’m sorry, Kang-hyun-ah. Big black. I’m sorry.”
Kang-hyun shook his head and said, “Don’t say that. If it is not because of you, I would have already died in another dungeon.”
“Why? 헉헉. Is it because I’ve been acting frustrated?”
Pisik-
Kang-hyun smiled.
Even in that situation, Lee Dong-joon has a great ability to joke.
“Hey, are you having a picnic? Aren’t you walking fast?” Bang Sang-cheol was annoyed.
Then Lee Dong-Jun whispered into Kang Hyun’s ear, “That young onion-like poked me. He attacked cowardly from behind.”
Lee Dong-joon’s voice was full of anger.
Instead of answering, Kang-hyun jabbed Lee Jun’s side.
Lee Dong-joon jumped but then pretended it was nothing.
It was a signal between each other when they were thinking of something.
Of course, the exact meaning was not conveyed.
Nevertheless, Lee Dong-joon, who knows how to roll his head, started acting first.
“Ah! Ugh! So painful. It hurts so much!”
Lee Dong-joon stopped walking and leaned back against the wall.
“What are you doing?” Bang Sang-cheol approached his impression.
Now was the chance.
chin-
Kang Hyun touched the wall.
Just now.
It was the place where Lee Dong-joon’s screams came to wake up.
In other words, it means that all the languages up to here have had interpreted.
“Open the door!”
It was a cry filled with earnestness.
Simultaneously, with the cry-
Paaac-
A bright light spread around.
