Chapter 140
Chapter 140.
The Simple Fortress map that had been impregnable to Silver players.
Because they launched one-sided attacks by firing guns from the fortress above.
Everyone only knew this map as robots shooting machine guns.
But Cerberus discovered the mole humans hiding under the fortress, and the perspective was shifting.
-It's really suspicious that there are mole humans on every floor
-Aren't they actually the main body?
-But they're way too weak lol if Cerberus bites them, they can't resist at all
-Their physical abilities seem even worse than stat 5
- yeah
-Some of them seemed like they could talk, but because of those damn guns...
The mole humans hiding under the fortress on every floor.
Every time they were caught by Cerberus, golden guns would materialize in mid-air and blow their heads off.
So obtaining information from the mole humans always ended in failure.
After the mole human died on the 1st floor.
Lee Ganghan had tried to protect the prisoners somewhat, but.
'No matter how strong I am, I can't stop guns materializing right next to their heads.'
He couldn't prevent the guns from firing right in front of the mole humans' heads.
Having failed to protect prisoners and reaching the 9th floor.
"Let's try catching a mole while leaving the robot alone this time."
Lee Ganghan decided to change his approach.
Originally, he would find the mole after devastating the fortress.
Now he decided to excavate the mole humans while blocking the robots' gunfire.
"Cerberus, I'll escort you down there."
Lee Ganghan suggested to Cerberus that he would guard him to the bottom of the fortress, but.
"Woof! Woof!"
The three-headed dog Cerberus shook his head left and right.
-Still cute
-But if you look closely, only the middle head is barking lol
-You're right? The heads on both sides just move their mouths slightly
-So the middle one is the boss lol
-But doesn't he need an escort? Why reject the offer
-Even though he got smaller, he has hellhound pride so he won't accept protection?
As the viewers expected.
Whoosh!
Cerberus shot forward like an arrow.
Ratatatatata...!
Even though bullets poured down from the fortress above.
He paid no attention to this and reached under the stone wall.
Then.
Scritch, scritch, scritch, scritch...
Cerberus digging the ground at super high speed.
Bullets poured down on the small dog who had stopped to dig.
Thud! Thud!
Even though bullets were embedded in Cerberus's body, he seemed unaffected.
He kept digging at the same speed.
'He's unfazed by bullets? Even though he got smaller, he's still strong.'
As Lee Ganghan thought this and approached Cerberus.
"Eek, eeek...! What the hell is this dog!"
Cerberus had pulled another mole human from the ground in his mouth.
As soon as the dog bastard comment came out.
"Kang!"
Chomp!
Even the heads on both sides joined in to bite the mole human.
He seemed to understand all the insults.
"Ahhh! It hurts!"
Then the mole human screamed in a high-pitched voice.
And simultaneously.
Faaaat...
The robot that had been on the fortress disappeared in a flash of light.
"When we subdued the mole human, the robot disappeared... The connection between the two seems definitely proven."
As Lee Ganghan said this and approached.
"Kill me!"
The mole human shouted to the air, asking to be killed.
Then golden guns instantly materialized around his head.
To prevent Lee Ganghan from interfering with the suicide.
Five gun barrels stuck right to his head.
Bang! Bang!
With the instant sound of gunfire.
They blew the mole human's head apart.
"Whine..."
When this mole also died before revealing the truth.
Cerberus dropped him from his mouth and looked disappointed.
"Don't be disappointed. You did well. You're strong too, aren't you?"
Lee Ganghan said this and unconsciously reached out his hand.
He petted Cerberus's head.
"Woof?"
Then Cerberus looked up at Lee Ganghan intently.
"Ah. He's a hellhound, so petting might be a bit awkward."
Indeed, considering his original form and size, who would have petted Cerberus's head?
Lee Ganghan thought Cerberus was staring at him intently.
Wondering if he felt displeased, he tried to withdraw his hand, but.
"Woof!"
Swoosh.
Cerberus's left head stepped forward.
And pushed his head against Lee Ganghan.
"...You want me to do it too?" "Woof!"
So when he petted the left head.
"Woof..."
The right head also slowly pushed his head toward Lee Ganghan.
-He has to take care of all three heads lol
-When he was big, he was a total boss mob, but now he's really cute...
-But the heads on both sides could make sounds too
-It was just that usually only the middle one barks lol
When Lee Ganghan petted all three heads like this.
"Wow. He's really cute..."
"C-could I touch him once too?"
One of the players following behind Lee Ganghan.
Mustered courage to ask, but.
Cerberus turned his head away.
"Grrrrr...!"
All three heads bared their teeth at that player.
Even though he was a small dog, his eyes flashed and smoke came from his mouth.
Cerberus looked quite threatening.
"I-I won't touch him! I'm sorry!"
When that player said he wouldn't touch and stepped back.
Only then did Cerberus snort and move forward first.
-He doesn't deal with just anyone lol
-He only follows his master?
-Even better hehe
-But even when small, he's scary when angry. A hellhound is still a hellhound
-Didn't you see him unfazed by bullets earlier? This guy is strong
He had definitely gotten smaller, but.
Taking bullets and his speed when running to the fortress.
Cerberus definitely looked strong.
Plus, he found the mole humans that Adventurer's Eye couldn't detect.
He seemed quite useful.
'I should summon him often.'
Lee Ganghan thought this and entered the portal to the 10th floor.
Then.
[A different race is intruding.]
In front of him who reached the 10th floor.
An intrusion message appeared.
***
'It's similar to the prison camp map.'
Back then, clearly.
On the 10th floor, a two-headed Orc Warlord had jumped out.
Unlike when Karana made a fuss saying it was a strong opponent.
It got blown away with one Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm though.
'I wonder if this different race is related to those moles.'
As Lee Ganghan stood with his arms crossed, looking ahead.
Crack, Crackle...
Cracks appeared in the dirt floor, and marble flooring began to lay down instead.
The map that appears every time you face a different race.
From the 1st to 9th floors earlier, it was about conquering the Simple Fortress.
So it felt like moving from low ground to high ground.
This marble map was completely flat.
But.
'The space seems a bit bigger than usual.'
Especially the ceiling was so open you couldn't even see it.
The 10th floor map was also much wider.
As he waited to see who would come out as the opponent.
Faaaat!
A blue portal opened on the opposite side.
Then.
"Screech, Screech..."
Like the sound of old metal grinding.
An ear-grating sound came from inside the portal.
"My turn has come..."
A mole human appeared from there.
With white fur hanging down abundantly like a beard.
-So the different race here really is moles
-The robots were a decoy
-But this one looks old?
-The moles on the lower floors walked around fine, but this one's body looks strange...?
Unlike the mole humans on lower floors who were bipedal.
This opponent had lost his legs.
Below his waist, something white and sticky was wriggling.
That appearance was like his spinal cord was exposed outside.
White, sticky nerve bundles.
Supported his body by feeling around the floor.
-Why is he so grotesquely shaped
-Bring back the earlier mole!
-He looks like an old mole man but his lower body is disgusting
-His size seems much bigger than the earlier mole? Looks tough for Cerberus to carry
Even excluding the changed lower body.
The upper body alone was three times bigger than the earlier mole human.
At this size, his upper body was slightly smaller than an adult male.
But with that lower body, his actual body length seemed longer than an adult male.
"Screech... Screech. For a human... you're quite something..."
The old mole who was screeching while looking at Lee Ganghan.
"Still, your challenge... ends here."
Quietly declared the end.
Then.
Flash!
The mole's body flashed golden.
Float, float...
He began to rise into the air.
"Woof! Woof!"
At this, Cerberus looked at Lee Ganghan.
Moving his head forward as if to say let's go quickly.
Indeed.
When the opponent is preparing to do something like this.
It is effective to make a surprise attack.
However,
"Wait a bit. Let's see what he's doing."
Lee Ganghan stopped such Cerberus.
It's not an 11th floor opponent, but a 10th floor opponent, so it wasn't that threatening.
He decided to collect information on what this mole race was doing.
"Whine..."
While Cerberus looked disappointed and quietly watched ahead.
Flash! Flash!
Golden metal objects began appearing here and there around the mole floating in the air.
Looking closely.
Arms and legs.
Golden objects that looked like robot parts, including the torso.
"Waiting for me... how foolish."
The mole sneered at Lee Ganghan.
"Com! Bine!"
Suddenly shouted like thunder.
-??? -Why is grandpa doing this...?
-No lol it's absurd that he suddenly combines
-But all those floating things look like robot parts?
-He's going from mole to combining robot?
When viewers were flustered by the old mole's passion.
Whirrr...!
The tentacle-like thin strings from the mole's lower body spread out.
And began combining with the golden objects.
Then soon.
Click, Click!
The old mole's appearance disappeared.
A huge golden robot stood tall in his place.
-Whoa... he really combined -Kinda cool? Golden giant robot, must be 10 meters
-It is the rule to wait for combining...
-Didn't he wait too long...?
-Heavenly Demon can wait, but other players shouldn't wait okay?
-Before that, anyone has to reach the 10th floor first
After finishing the combination, the golden giant robot showed off its imposing appearance.
Seeing this, Cerberus.
"Woof! Woof!"
Barked frantically while looking at Lee Ganghan.
Somehow it felt like.
He was scolding him for just watching the combination.
[Thank you for waiting. In return, I'll pour out firepower so you won't even feel pain.]
The golden giant robot saying he'd kill him before he could feel pain.
Click, Click.
Part of his body transformed and gun barrels protruded.
Swoosh!
From the robot's back, missiles even poked their heads out.
-What are missiles???
-I thought guns already crossed the line, but that's a bit much
-Why do only they get to use it, let us use some too
-For real, isn't this discrimination too much?
-We can make robots too...!
While others use cold weapons.
When viewers expressed their grievances seeing the mole race shooting guns and even using missiles alone.
[Fire! Commence!]
Ratatatatata!
Bullets pouring from the robot's entire body.
Plus.
Whoooosh...!
Even the missiles from behind fired all at once and flew toward Lee Ganghan.
"Uh, uhh..." "No, why do I suddenly feel like I'm in a real battlefield..." "I'm good at shooting guns too!"
The players behind felt wronged seeing the robot's attack.
"Kang! Kang!"
Cerberus scolded Lee Ganghan saying 'see this'.
Swoosh!
He charged inside alone.
Despite the much more powerful firepower than the lower floor robots.
What incredible will to try to pierce through that bombardment.
Then.
Whoooosh!
The missile flying toward Lee Ganghan.
Changed direction and flew toward Cerberus.
What.
Can missiles move like that too?
'They really do all sorts of things.'
Lee Ganghan frowned.
And opened his palm.
Heavenly Demon Divine PalmHeaven-Breaking Meteor Palm
Zzzzt!
Red light extending in a straight line.
It pierced right through the missile.
Then.
Boom, boom, bang!
The missile exploded in mid-air.
At this.
[Wh-what... is this...?]
The golden giant robot stopped shooting for a moment.
Was he shocked seeing Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm?
Swoosh.
Lee Ganghan used Heavenly Demon Reign Step to approach right in front of the robot.
"What the hell is your race that you're cheating by shooting guns and missiles alone?"
And when he asked what he'd been curious about.
[Screech, screech... You're shooting lasers too...?]
An incredulous answer came from the golden robot.
"What laser. This is clearly martial arts."
You're disparaging Heavenly Demon Divine Palm, which he learned from that terrifying star, as a laser?
Lee Ganghan opened his palm again.
And shot Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm at the golden robot's legs.
Boom, boom, bang...!
Both legs exploded simultaneously.
[Wh-what kind of attack...! That's a laser!]
With the mole's scream.
The giant robot's body swayed.
Thud!
It fell backward spread-eagle.
