As if to prove that it was on a different level from the dungeon boss, when the hidden boss began to be created, the dungeon itself vibrated and shook. Mana swirled like a whirlpool and was sucked into one point. Crystals began to form clearly there.
The location is above the sea. In other words, the crystal stone was so large that it could be seen even by In Yoo-shin, who was floating in the air a long way away. The size of the crystal stone is usually proportional to the strength of the magical beast.
‘Hahaha.’
In Yoo-shin was appalled and shook Hyun Gyu-ha, who was just laughing out loud.
‘D-don’t just laugh!’
‘Then shall we cry?’ ( Bruh! )
‘Don’t even cry! What should I do about that?’
‘I don’t know either. The person I expected to be the hidden boss and prepared to fight was a legendary hero, not the highest God. If we compare it to Greek mythology, we were preparing for Odysseus, but Zeus suddenly appeared. this….’
‘It was an explanation that stuck in my head right away, more so than an unfamiliar name.’
Thanks to this, In Yoo-shin screamed ‘How do we beat Zeus!!!’
‘Hahaha. That’s what I’m saying.’
‘I told you not to laugh!’
‘What do we do. What do we do. Should I run away quickly and call for reinforcements before it is fully formed? No, but even if you call in reinforcements, will they be able to catch Zeus when they are all decent hunters? In order to defeat Zeus...………!’
‘Gigantomachia (in Greek mythology, the war of the gods against Zeus and other gods of Olympus.)!’
‘Calm down, Yoo-shin-ssi.’
‘Isn’t there a dungeon somewhere on Earth with a Titan or Gaia as a hidden boss? Summon the hidden boss and fight Zeus. Even if we cry here...!’
‘It’s a good idea, but the thing before us now is Hershin Atabeira. It’s not the real Zeus.’
‘Ah!.’
‘Calm down and do as I say, calmly and take deep breaths. Breathe quickly and slowly every three times.’
‘Hee, hee, huo...’
As he followed Hyeon Gyu-ha’s breathing techniques, he gradually came to his senses.
‘It works well. what? Next time I have another mental breakdown, I’ll try to follow suit.’
‘Lamaze breathing.’
‘……’ ‘How does an unmarried man without a lover, or even a real lover, know things like the Lamaze breathing method?’ Even though In Yoo-shin’s gaze became shaky and subtle, Hyeon Gyu-ha turned his gaze forward without any damage. It felt like giving up and watching a hidden boss form.
Hirsin Ataveira was slowly taking shape. He was a god with the body of a frog and the face of a woman.
‘The background of this dungeon is Columbus and Old Man Tale, so I did some studying. Atave is the first god and creator god in the Taino religion, and is also the mother of the gods. She is both benevolent and cruel at the same time. You see that the frog is the body, right? That frog is the holy beast of Attabeira.’
‘It’s a very useful TMI, but will it help you survive in the dungeon?’
‘Well.......’
Hyeon Gyu-ha rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression. He seemed to be quite reluctant about something.
‘Do not worry. Even if I die here, I will definitely send you out of the dungeon.’
‘I……don’t like doing that.’
In Yoo-shin shook his head uncharacteristically and resolutely.
‘I don’t want someone dying in front of me to protect me.’
‘......’
‘So, Gyu-ha, I hope you don’t even joke about saying that you will die to protect only me.’
‘It wasn’t a joke, but I understood anyway.’
Hyeon Gyu-ha looked down for a moment with a deeply sunken gaze, but instead of asking deeply, he roughly ruffled his hair.
And the sun disappeared.
A figure so large that it blocked out the sunlight rose from the sea and opened its huge eyes.
It was a feeling of intimidation that made me suffocate. It seemed like it was going to hit with a ferocious and bloody force at any moment. In Yoo-shin was very nervous and grabbed Hyun Gyu-ha’s clothes.
However, the hidden boss of the dungeon, Hershin Atabeira, just rolled his eyes and looked at the ground. Rather than the black corpses of countless demonic beasts covering the floor, the ground was haunted by the remnants of Taino illusions that made up the dungeon’s disconnected time. Seeing them being mercilessly slaughtered.
He was dying.
He died after being shot, cut with a knife, stabbed with a spear, and bitten by a dog. They were extorted of gold, sold into slavery, abused, and died.
[------!]
A mournful howl erupted. God cried out in terrible sorrow and pain as his internal organs were torn apart. They were the bloody tears of a god who had no choice but to watch with his own hands as his children were brutally slaughtered.
Dense sadness rushed in like a tidal wave.
‘Ah……’
In Yoo-shin blinked blanky in his eyes. After Hyeon Gyu-ha wiped his eyes, he realized that he had been crying. The sorrow and pain of the transferred God overwhelmed his own emotions.
‘Don’t be too empathetic. Because they’re all just remnants of the past.’
‘Do you really want to fight like that boss when you’re in so much pain? I heard that although it is extremely rare, the hidden boss sometimes sends hunters at its discretion.’
Even while whispering in a low voice, Attabeira’s cries continued.
‘You’re welcome. This is the worst and most dangerous situation.’
‘Is it because they misunderstood us as the white people who slaughtered people in the illusion earlier?’
‘No. It is now meaningless in the identification of the people to that God.’
Hyeon Gyu-ha’s smile had suddenly disappeared during the day.
‘Yoo-shin, are you feeling Attabeira’s emotions right now?’
‘He seems very sad and in pain.’
‘That’s the problem. God is a higher-dimensional being than humans, but it is unacceptable for us, as humans, to understand God’s emotions.’
Because the words were difficult to understand, Hyeon Gyu-ha whispered in a dry voice to In Yoo-shin, who tilted his head.
‘It’s a crude metaphor, but do flying insects or earthworms understand human emotions? Can they understand human emotions and share joy or sorrow together?’
‘......they can’t.’
‘But both I and Yoo-shin understood Attabeira’s feelings. That means God is crazy. It means that they have gone completely crazy and have fallen to a level so low that humans can even have a mind to understand.’
The corner of Hyeon Gyu-ha’s lips twitched sarcastically.
‘The Taino people who served Atabeira were massacred by the arriving white people, cutting off their roots and destroying their religion and culture. There was no way he wouldn’t have gone crazy.’
What they had to deal with was a god who had gone mad after terrible sorrow and pain.
Attabeira remembers.
Forgetting is a blessing given by God, who cannot forget, to human beings, their creatures and children. A God who cannot forget, remembers everything.
Therefore, Attabeira, the God of the moon, fresh water and fertility, remembered.
When her son, God Yushin Kahu(신유 카후) of the Sea and Cassava, created her first human being. The hero Deminan overcame the pain of his swollen back and continued the bloodline of Karaka Racol, which connects gods and humans. Thus, the moments that allowed me to look at humans more closely.
His children who served her were brutally slaughtered by the white men who came from the east. The cries of his children, who desperately searched for her and begged for her to be saved. His child, who held in her arms the simple statue of his god carved of her even in his tragic dying moments. The last remaining child spits out his last breath in hatred towards the Gods who could not protect him.
Attabeira remembers everything.
The sky shook and the earth roared. A god who has lost all his believers and lost his faith and gone crazy cannot control his divine power and manifest miracles. He was just blindly angered without any reason, so he just blindly struck him.
Nevertheless, the attack of the huge body blocking the sun was a deadly weapon in itself. With each swing of his arm, the earth shook, and with each stamp of his foot, the ocean boiled as if a volcano had erupted from the bottom of the sea.
‘Huaaah!’
The water boiling from the sea rose up like a sharp spear blade. The moment he screamed in surprise, Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had wrapped his arms around his waist, had already avoided the spot and moved to the back of Attabeira.
Kuuung! His heavy arms flew out as if chasing away flying insects. Attabeira’s hand passed under Hyeon Gyu-ha’s legs as he leaped into the air and pressed down on the ground filled with the corpses of the demonic beast. His body was crushed, fragments flew out, and the bloody smell became thicker.
Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was dodging his body here and there, pulled out an anti-tank weapon from space and shot him straight away. In Yoo-shin briefly had hopes for the explosion of rocket bombs, but it was in vain. As the thick smoke cleared, Attabeira’s huge corpse was revealed with only one wound.
Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was dodging his body here and there, pulled out an anti-tank firearm from space and shot him straight away. In Yoo-shin briefly had hopes for the explosion of rocket bombs, but it was in vain. As the thick smoke disappeared, Attabeira’s huge body was revealed to be intact and without a single wound.
‘He’s still God, even if he’s insane, unable to control divine power, and nothing more. God could not be harmed by crude weapons that humans have created.’
‘Well, that doesn’t work either. I bought it at a high price directly from the US military.’
‘T-then what should I do?’
‘Whatever. You have to survive.’
‘What?’
‘Let’s just hold on until we lose all our strength.’
Hyeon Gyu-ha held In Yoo-shin’s waist and launched himself into the sky beyond Atabeira’s head.
[——!]
Attabeira on the ground cried out, but his arms could not reach them. Even the vacuum waves that shook the sky were all bounced away when a force field using psychokinesis was applied.
Hyeon Gyu-ha, who placed In Yoo-shin down, lay diagonally in the air and gazed down indifferently.
‘Because you are not a true god but an imaginary god, you will get tired at some point. As long as we’re in the dungeon, we won’t be able to get out. After I relax, I will dodge gently and let Yoo-shin go.’
‘Then, what about Gyu-ha…………. Gyu-ha’s magic won’t be infinite either.’
‘Well, I guess I will work out something.’
‘……’
‘I should have brought something so Yoo-shin wouldn’t be bored waiting.’
In Yoo-shin suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu as he stared at Attabeira, who was running wild in anger, stretching out his arms and stamping his feet. He was the apple of those eyes. The gaze he encountered at the bank was steeped in sheer boredom.
In Yoo-shin quietly brought up his status window.
[Current status: Murderous intent. Interesting, freedom.]
That was it. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had gone through the initial shock of meeting Hershin, had now calmed down without any emotional agitation. ‘Did he always feel this way while going into battle? Even though he might die.’
‘No matter how cool you are, there is a limit to your mana and abilities. Keep Attabeira locked in the dungeon until it reaches its limit, and then what? What if you run out of mana? What if the overloaded brain can no longer operate psychokinesis? Hyeon Gyu-ha?’
In Yoo-shin became very anxious.
‘.........Yoo-shin-ssi.’
Suddenly, Hyeon Gyu-ha stretched out his hand. His hand grazed his chin and gently touched the nape of In Yoo-shin’s neck. ‘Thump, pound, pound.’ The pounding of his anxious heart was clearly conveyed, and Hyeon Gyu-ha’s complexion suddenly changed.
[Current status: Murderous intent. interest. Anxiety, anxiety. Anxiety. Anxiety.]
In Yoo-shin is the only one who erases Hyeon Gyu-ha’s boredom and makes him anxious.
PA : I like how panickly Yoo-shin is, while Gyu-ha was jas all chill and relaxed until he got extreme anxiety.
