Never Die Extra

Chapter 443

The Great Ancient Wizard, Attack the Tower (3)

Indeed, everything in the Demon Realm was different. They didn’t know that the level of difficulty was this different from the Sherden Dungeon.

“It’s great that they didn’t forget about the puzzle elements. I love it.”

Evan stretched out his hand, saying such a thing. A sphere of blood gathered together with Annihilation, sprayed the blood like a stalk, and wetted one of the walls. A deformed magic circle appeared on the wall, shining a gloomy light, and a hidden space was revealed. It wasn’t that complicated because the puzzle was similar to a device installed by the demons to test their faith.

“So, if I give blood, I’ll get some good things. As expected, I need to attack.”

Evan smiled as he approached the treasure chest lying inside the hidden space. However, the treasure chest quickly opened its mouth and tried to swallow Evan’s hand. It was a high-level Nightmare Mimic that only lived in the Demon Realm! Furthermore, the moment he approached it, it tried to force Evan to sleep with a terrible spray of gas!

– Squeak…

– Squeak, squeak?

Sadly, however, Evan’s durability wasn’t so fragile as to be affected by the Nightmare Mimic. Moreover, the resistance to also at a level where the sleeping gas couldn’t faze him.

– Squeak, squeak, squeak…!

The Mimic was embarrassed and tried to chew on Evan a few more times, but every time it did, it lost a tooth. It gave a sad cry, but it couldn’t turn back time. It was stuck.

“All right, just a little longer…”

Evan was being chewed by the Mimic, so he searched its stomach. Of course, he knew from the beginning that the treasure box was a Mimic. It was ridiculous that the higher the level of existence, the more sensitive one’s senses, and Evan, who had a higher level of existence than anyone else in the world, couldn’t confuse nonliving things and monsters.

“Okay, there’s a lot of things in here. Wow, that’s incredible.”

One of the most famous treasures in the world was this Nightmare Mimic. It was difficult to accept the name Nightmare, which modified Mimic, as just strong. This was because Nightmare Mimic was truly a nightmare.

“It eats away the desire in your dreams and refines it in its body to turn it into a treasure.”

It included, of course, life. In a sense, it could also be described as a dream eater. This monster from Yo-Ma Great War 1 was a so-called hidden monster that appeared when you’d fall asleep under an enemy’s spell within a particular domain. In a sense, the battle in the dream was difficult as the skills were completely mixed up, so a must-win method didn’t exist. However, it was also the most popular monster in Yo-Ma Great War 1. It dropped treasures that were definitely amazing.

Evan shook the Nightmare Mimic’s stomach and brought out the treasures. Perhaps the facility’s structure was kept in this hidden space. The Nightmare Mimic had entered the intruders’ dreams and steadily devoured their desires and lives. No wonder it used sleep magic, but he already guessed from the many traps that utilized sleep gas, that they all had a connection with this Nightmare Mimic. And if he safely passed through the floor and found this secret place, he would finally have the lowest qualification to collect the treasure of the Nightmare Mimic.

…Of course, on the premise that he could overcome Nightmare Mimic’s final attack.

‘What the hell of a crew…what a great design for a dungeon.’

Evan shook off all the treasures and finally flipped his finger to bomb the Nightmare Mimic. There was a blood crystal left where it died, which he swiftly absorbed.

“It’s strange that not all demons drop the blood crystals. Since entering the Demon Realm here…no, it seems to fall with a near 100% chance after entering this tower.”

Blood. Evan took a fresh look at the blood on his hand. He was speculating that there might be some kind of connection between the Hell Ruby and this blood vessel waiting for him on the top floor of the tower. And not just with him, but also with the other demons…

‘Anyways, I only needed Hell Ruby.’

He was a little curious about the tower’s secret, which was probably a scenario dedicated to the Demon Tribe. Still, even if he wanted to play, he couldn’t just go back to reality and buy the game. Evan looked at the treasures he had collected from the Nightmare Mimic.

‘Let’s see, this is…it’s a jewel with absurd magic. It would be good to put it in a unique armored material.’

It was too close to do that, but if you used it as a magic medium, even the weakest witch from the Bloody Apple Guild could kill the Demon King. To categorize it, it was the most brutal and sharp wind power in the world…it was also the jewel decorated with the blue wind that Mirole used.

‘…This is troublesome.’

Evan, of course, knew that this was a maze, but honestly, it was difficult to respond when there was clear evidence coming out one by one. He let out a sigh. There were a lot of great things in it. It was mainly in the form of jewelry. Many items immediately lifted one’s status, and there were also other magic stones.

‘This is it. I want it to be used in my own armament.’

Evan’s perfect aid to dealing with physical power itself. Suddenly, he thought about what would happen if he became stronger than now. Still, he firmly strengthened his mind because no matter how strong his force was now, he couldn’t feel relieved against the Devil who created this tower.

‘There are many enemies in Yo-Ma Great War Zero that aren’t comparable to the Demon King, but the Devil’s level was different among them. According to Yo-Ma Great War Zero, there were many cases where the players faced a bad ending without even touching the tip of the Devil’s toes.’

It was a monster that could be fought only after playing the best conditions, maximizing the power of their allies, and carrying the blessing of the World Tree. The gods’ cooperation was also indispensable. The final battle couldn’t be reached without luck as it was necessary to gather a variety of different races. It was a game where you can save and load, so it was possible.

No matter how obsessed Evan was with the Yo-Ma Great War series, he wasn’t confident in creating such an environment in a single attempt. Therefore, it was important to build up his strength as much as possible. He wanted to take on the Devil alone. It was never a joke. Evan had been acting on the premise since he had fallen into this ancient environment.

“Good.”

Evan picked out each type of jewelry that raised his status. In fact, there was something left, but the jewelry was only available for each type because it raised the status.

“Let’s go.”

Evan, who was determined again, headed toward the next floor of the tower with a firm look on his face. The tower, where many disasters lurked and wriggled, was still calm.

* * *

“Whoa.”

First, Eir entered the tower, raising her arms to cheer.

“This place is awesome! Come on in!

“Yes!”

Strangely enough, at the entrance to the tower, Eir was able to pass naturally, but Elizabeth was stuck. At the same time, something like a red wire popped out and tried to hit Elizabeth. Of course, Elizabeth evaded it, but she was a bit far from Eir while she stepped down.

“Hmph.”

“You’re not trying to destroy it, are you?”

Rose, who entered the tower with Eir, had an uneasy voice. This was because Elizabeth, who was moving away from the wire, took out her morning star with a mad expression. The morning star was shining brilliantly. It was one of the absolute runes created by the God who stayed in the dungeon by gathering strength in fear of destruction.

“Destroy quickly and accurately. Just the part I want!”

“What’s that chant? I’m scared.”

Standing firmly on the ground, Elizabeth swung her arms wide at the ceiling near the tower entrance where the wires were! Surprisingly, only the traps that had been bothering Elizabeth collapsed neatly and had no effect on the tower. This was the essence of a destroyer that condensed destructive power to destroy only what they wanted. Even further, when compared to the hideous skill power, the contrast of the cute name of the skill created even more fear.

“Okay, let’s go in.”

Unthreatened, Elizabeth hummed her way into the tower. She felt as if the energy inside the tower was strangely pressing down her, but it faded as she shook her head. She was very comfortable.

“What the hell is that little girl? There’s definitely a magic spell here that rejects everything but the Demon Tribe…”

“I don’t know about that!”

“You’re really Evan’s sister.”

Anyway, the three of them entered the tower safely and explored while humming. Compared to the Sherden Dungeon, there were fairly strong opponents. However, Elizabeth, as well as Eir, who was still young and had no experience in the dungeon, didn’t find it difficult to deal with.

“Wow, look! The Spirit Bullet is Red!”

“It must have attracted the demons.”

Rose murmured with satisfaction as she saw Eir, who hadn’t only changed in appearance but also had clearly powered up her handling skills. Spirits were present in any world, but the spirits in the Demon Realm were often referred to separately as the demon spirits. Why give a different name when it was the same spirit? Of course, because it wasn’t the same spirit.

Originally, the spirits with the forest elves were often imaginable spirits that loved nature and peace. Still, the spirits born in the Demon Realm, which was full of death and despair, became truly terrible in the world’s environment. Naturally, the elves were never able to get close to these demons, and it was impossible to come into contact with them in the first place.

They couldn’t even recognize each other because the language they communicated with was different. Even Mirole, who was able to call all the fairies, was only taking care of and dealing with the spirits that had been with her since she entered the Demon Realm.

“Even the best of the Demon Tribe can’t control the demon spirits, but I think it’s possible because our Eir is special.”

“Am I special?”

“Well, it’s not easy to take the energy of both the Elf and the Demon Tribe, my baby.”

Eir was a hybrid, half-elf, and half-human, with the energy of Queen Rose of the Mahwa Tribe. Not only the Elves, but even the owner of the Demon Realm, the Devil, couldn’t control them, but Eir could somehow call them out very naturally.

“My daughter has come to the Demon Realm. Maybe this is fate…”

Rose had become a serious fatalist since completing her fateful meeting with Bernard, especially when she saw Eir in the tower. Suddenly, she thought of one important fact and grew very shy.

“But why do I feel the signs of the Mahwa Tribe in this world?”

All the Mahwa Tribe had left to the human world. Therefore, it wasn’t normal to see a member of the Mahwa Tribe left in the Demon Realm. But now, her natural senses as Queen were telling her something. The Mahwa Tribe in this world…they existed on an absurd scale. No, that wasn’t the problem. This energy…maybe…

“Uh…”

Rose realized everything in a flash and began to sweat.

“This place…the past…”

“Wow! This is very pleasant magic!”

While Rose was lost in thought, Elizabeth and Eir quickly cleared the first floor of the tower and were screaming at the statue. The tower’s energy split into two streams and seeped into Elizabeth’s morning star and Eir’s body.

“Sister, I’m so strong!”

“I think my weapons are stronger, too! Yeees!”

Elizabeth broke the statue without mercy! All the energy left in it flowed out and was absorbed by her morning star and Eir.

“This will make us strong twice.”

“Wow, Liz, you’re a genius…!”

“…”

Rose decided to stop thinking and silently followed the footsteps of the two children.
