Chapter 270 – Messiah (2)

It was a Dome.

A dome made up of layers of concrete.

“The dungeon gate is currently in that dome. And that dome can even withstand missile attacks.”

A dome that could even withstand missile attacks.

“There’s no way to enter the dome from the outside.

At the same time, it was a dome without an entrance.

“There’s only one way to get in.”

There was only one way to enter the dome.

“And that’s by going through one of the underground passages. In total, there are four different underground passages. Each designed to withstand even a bunker buster.”

Entering through the underground passageways.

All of these were created only after the Chinese government had paid hundreds of millions of dollars in construction costs.

The reason they were made was simple.

“You will only be informed of your passageway 10 minutes before you enter. And the passageways are all randomly selected.”

To prevent any sabotage that might hinder the Messiah Guild from trying to save the world.

“With all of these, I bet an accident is impossible.”

It was a plan prepared to prevent a similar incident to what happened to Isaac Ivanov on Jeju Island from happening.

In other words, if it wasn’t for Isaac Ivanov, there would never have been such precautions.

Therefore, everyone paid attention to Isaac Ivanov’s assessment.

What did he think of their preparations?

“It’s perfect.”

And under the attention of everyone else in the area, Isaac Ivanov gave the judgment that it was ‘perfect’.

This meant that they only really needed to enter the dungeon now.

“Is the order the only thing left?”

Well if there was something that had to be decided, it was the order with which they entered the dungeon.

In fact, there was really no need to choose.

With such a perfect arrangement, in all honesty, they could just rush in all at once at that moment.

But it was symbolic.

Who would go in first?

And also, who would go in last?

In fact, there were only two people who could take up these symbolic positions.

Isaac Ivanov and Lee Se-jun.

In such a situation, Isaac Ivanov said.

“Naturally, I will go in first.”

He was willing to take the lead.

“Since I’m the one who said we would carry out the attack, I naturally have to stand on the front lines.”

After hearing those words, Lee Se-jun said.

“Then I’ll be last.”

After this was decided, there was truly no need for them to talk about anything else in the real world.

“Then, let’s begin.”

…

The first thing that greeted Kim Woo-jin when he entered the dungeon gate was a forest that was covered in white snow.

Whoosh!

A forest through which flowed a cold, gentle breeze.

‘Come.’

However, Kim Woo-jin’s gaze seemed to be even colder than the surroundings.

In Isaac Ivanov’s mask, the look in his eyes seemed to carry an eerie chill.

With such a gaze, Kim Woo-jin looked at the dungeon gate.

Then, one after the other, players began to appear.

First, it was Lee Jin-ah.

The moment he spotted Kim Woo-jin, he nodded before moving away from the dungeon gate.

Next was the Sword Saint.

“It’s cold.”

The Sword Saint didn’t even glance at Kim Woo-jin.

‘You fucking bastard, now you’ve done it.’

This was because his relationship with Isaac Ivanov was obvious.

If he made eye contact with Isaac Ivanov, he might expose his hate filled gaze.

In such a situation, it was the Sword Saint’s disciples and subordinates that appeared after him.

Next was Cho Sung-woo.

Having experienced Isaac Ivanov’s power before personally, he looked at Kim Woo-jin wearing the Isaac Ivanov mask as soon as he entered the dungeon before averting his gaze.

‘We have to kill him. This ridiculous monster.’

This was to hide the fact that he was actually terrified.

In fact, this was not necessary.

Because Kim Woo-jin’s eyes had never turned to them.

Kim Woo-jin had never been interested in them in the first place.

‘Come.’

After that, the players continued entering the dungeon one after the other, and soon the 887th player appeared.

Park Shin-hye!

As if expecting the cold, she appeared in a coat made from the fur of a flame beast, and looked around at the crowd.

But Kim Woo-jin didn’t pay any attention to her either.

He still continued to look at nothing but the Dungeon gate.

Finally, the one Kim Woo-jin was waiting for appeared.

Lee Se-jun!

Appearing in shining armor, the grandeur he revealed was even more dazzling than the white forest around them.

For the first time, Kim Woo-jin’s eyes drifted away from the dungeon gate, instead coming to settle on Lee Se-jun.

His eyes became yellow.

‘You came.’

Horus’ Eyes confirmed it.

‘Really.’

Lee Se-jun himself had entered.

At the same time, they received a notification.

[Destroy all the Ogres to proceed to the next floor.]

As if to remind them that the world would no longer know what happened in this dungeon.

To this notification, Lee Se-jun spoke.

“Begin the hunt.”

And Kim Woo-jin thought.

‘Begin the hunt.’

…

The great players usually had nicknames that corresponded with their abilities.

Lightning King, Sword Saint, Trinity, Dragon Slayer.

It wasn’t difficult to determine what abilities these players had from their nicknames.

But not everyone was the same.

This was the case for Isaac Ivanov.

“What nickname should we give to Isaac Ivanov?”

“Isn’t it Saviour?”

“No, not like that. A nickname that represents Isaac Ivanov’s abilities.”

Isaac Ivanov didn’t have a nickname that represented his abilities.

Of course, his abilities had already been revealed to the world without filtering, and there was no one who didn’t know what he was capable of.

It was just that they couldn’t think of a good nickname for him.

“Hang on.”

At that point, people realised another question.

“Then what are Lee Se-jun’s abilities?”

Lee Se-jun, who was also called the Saviour, had no nickname to represent his abilities.

In fact, only a few people even knew in detail what abilities Lee Se-jun had.

“Isn’t that top secret?”

“To protect Lee Se-jun, such a thing must never be revealed.”

It was to protect Lee Se-jun, who was exposed to more threats than anyone else in the world.

Revealing his abilities was like creating opportunities for assassins to easily target his weaknesses.

Therefore, the Messiah Guild made considerable efforts to keep Lee Se-jun’s abilities hidden.

But that wasn’t the only reason Lee Se-jun’s abilities were unknown.

Players who saw Lee Se-jun’s abilities always said one thing.

“The master’s abilities are hard to explain.”

Lee Se-jun’s abilities were not easy to explain even for those who had seen them with their own eyes.

This was literal.

Lee Se-jun’s fighting style was completely different from normal players.

“Even among the few players who have the Guardian of Sacred Light as their halo, the master is unique. I can’t really tell you much about his legendary skills.”

The unique halo and the skills he gained from said halo were already beyond comparison.

Nevertheless, they could only use one way to express Lee Se-jun’s skills.

“After a flash of light, the monsters all lost their fighting spirit and became frozen like statues, terrified.”

“After a flash of light, everything was burned by white flames.”

“Light flashed in the sky and then bolts of lightning struck down.”

Expressions that were difficult to understand just by listening to them.

Of course, those who heard these expressions would laugh, thinking that the other person was just making a joke in order to Sanctify Lee Se-jun.

But it was by no means a joke.

‘It’s just as they’d been told.’

The abilities that he’d heard about, and the abilities that Lee Se-jun displayed before Kim Woo-jin’s eyes were the same.

[Sacred light explodes.]

Blinding Explosion.

As soon as the skill was activated, an explosion of bright light exploded, hitting the army of more than 700 fully armed Ogres.

Rooar!

The Ogre soldiers roared because of this light.

[The Ogre Soldiers have been blinded.]

And the reason for these roars was because the Ogres found that they’d been blinded.

[Medusa’s Curse has activated.]

And the curse of Medusa which followed this bright light forced the Ogres and even the heavily falling snow to stop moving.

In that way, a wall of Ogre Soldiers had been created.

Lee Se-jun then created a spot of light above his palm and aimed it at the Ogre Soldiers.

And after taking the form of a huge arrow, this light shot forward, burning everything in its path.

‘Apollo’s Arrow.’

It was Apollo’s Arrow, a legendary skill dedicated to the Guardian of the Sacred Light.

This battle was hard to even describe as such.

‘He’s saving Zeus’ Lightning.’

Of course, Kim Woo-jin also knew that Lee Se-jun had the skill Zeus’ Lightning in addition to these two.

‘But he didn’t have to use it.’

In fact, there was no need for him to reveal it.

Lee Se-jun had already sorted out the outcome of the battle with just two skills.

A huge path had been created in the army of 700 Ogre’s who’d been frozen mid stride.

“Ohhh!”

“As expected of the master.”

And it filled everyone who saw it with admiration and awe.

Kyaha!

And in this admiration, an army of skeletons appeared.

Rattle!

These skeletons rushed to ravenously eat at the table Lee Se-jun had set.

Puuk!

The Skeleton Soldiers who were shorter than the 5m tall Ogres climbed onto their tall bodies and attacked their weak spots, like their eyes and throats.

“Ah…”

This scene caused the faces of the members of the Messiah Guild who were looking on to stiffen.

Haaah!

And it was the appearance of the Death Knights that darkened this stiff expression.

There were five.

With their dignified appearances, the Death Knights didn’t need to walk the path Lee Se-jun had created.

Neigh!

Instead, they charged directly towards the Ogres atop their skeleton horses.

Moreover, the Death Knights didn’t bother to aim for their weaknesses.

Instead, they used the weapons in their hands to easily devastate the Ogres.

‘Oh my God.’

‘So this is Isaac Ivanov?’

‘It’s more than the rumors.’

Although the stage had been created by Lee Se-jun, the members of the Messiah Guild were horrified by the performance of Isaac Ivanov’s skeleton army which easily crushed the Ogre wall like a bulldozer.

They couldn’t help but think.

‘If it were the two of them the 9 Floor dungeon wouldn’t be a problem.’

If Lee Se-jun and Isaac Ivanov were to attack the 9 Floor dungeon, they could really clear it and save the world.

That was why the expressions of the Messiah Guild’s members became even harder.

‘We have to kill Isaac Ivanov here somehow.’

‘We definitely have to kill him this time.’

Because they’d never wanted to end the game and save the world.

It was then.

Rooaar!

A fierce roar that shook the ground below came from the sky.

[The Wyvern King howls.]

The owner of this roar was none other than a Wyvern King.

It was a monster that was three times the size of a normal Wyvern and could even compete with a Dragon.

Roar!

What was even more surprising was the fact that there was a giant Ogre riding on the back of the Wyvern King.

“It’s an Ogre Knight!”

Ogre Knight.

It was the moment when a monster that could not be compared with other Ogres, the ruler of the first floor, appeared.

However, even though it appeared, it didn’t reveal itself openly.

Instead, it continued to look down at the sky and commanded its troops.

[The morale of the Ogre Soldiers has been greatly increased by the Ogre Knight’s appearance.]

Following the orders of the Ogre Knight, the Ogre Soldiers that had been waiting began to move.

Thump, thump, thump!

The ground shook, and the vegetation in their path was completely uprooted.

Then the army began to let out their warcries.

Roar!

The Ogre Soldiers roared at their enemies.

It was at that moment.

At the moment when it was easy to be shaken by the noises, a beam of light penetrated the head of the Ogre Knight, who was flying high in the sky on its mount.

Puk!

At the same time, the Wyvern King’s head had also been pierced.

Lee Se-jun frowned slightly as the Ogre Knight and its mount began to fall to the ground.

But Isaac Ivanov simply directed his skeleton army to meet the Ogre Soldiers in battle without paying any mind to that fact.

Haaa!

A massacre began.

“Get ready.”

Then Park Shin-hye reminded the others.

“We’ll finish on the next floor as we planned.”

(TL: I’m not sure if that last sentence is intentionally worded that way to imply their plan against Isaac Ivanov, or if I misinterpreted.
