Chapter 39: Chapter 039.
Aris ran and cut off the zombie dog with a single sword.
Kazan stepped on the zombie dog's skull and broke it, and a mana stone came out from inside. We took the mana stone and moved forward again. The number of monsters were too few compared to the length of the cave, but we thought that a good thing was a good thing.
We were able to deal with 2 more zombies and 1 more skeleton and reach the door to the boss room. The door to the boss room was a double door made of stone on the cave wall.
Kazan said.
"Hiya~ Was dungeon exploration this easy? There really aren't any monsters."
"I guess another adventurer team came before us and wiped them out."
"Then the boss room has already been robbed?"
"The boss respawns the fastest, so there must be a boss, right?"
"I wish it have a boss. If it doesn't have one, we have to come again tomorrow."
"I see. But would you like to eat first before entering the boss room?"
Kazan nodded his head to my question. Kazan and I looked at Aris at the same time.
"I'm fine too."
Aris answers, pushed by the momentum.
Even if this is an undead dungeon, food is very important. Even fighting is done with food.
We spread out our mats and ate the gimbap we bought at the 'Warrior's Snack House.'
"I'm going to run some errands for a moment~"
Aris ran to the corner, took out a portable toilet from the subspace ring, and went inside. A portable toilet is a magic tool that unfolds like a tent as soon as it is taken out, creating a toilet that obscures the surrounding area. It is one of the essential necessities of a dungeon. The more optional features, such as soundproofing, toilet removal, and sink functions, the more expensive it becomes. It is said that women purchase fully-operational portable toilets.
Aris' bathroom is fully equipped and has a luxurious exterior, but the interior is completely transparent and makes no sound. When Aris came back, Kazan and I took turns taking out the portable toilet and taking care of everything.
We stood in a triangle in front of the boss room door. I gave instructions.
"There will be a two-headed troll zombie in the corner. I'm going to inflict cognitive impairment, so you guys cut the ligaments on its ankles. Kazan. Open the door."
Kazan placed both his hands on the door and gave a push.
We ran inside as soon as the door opened.
"Huh?"
That was the sound we made as soon as we entered the boss room. The troll zombie's entire body was already broken into pieces and scattered around, and the core of the dungeon has been destroyed and is rolling around on the floor. And the boss room was a mess with spider webs.
We heard a roar coming from the ceiling, and we reflexively looked up. On the ceiling, a huge black spider, similar in size to a troll zombie, was hanging on a web, glaring at us.
A black aura emanates from the spider's body. It looks strong and dangerous.
"It's an abnormality! Let's get out quickly!"
I quickly shouted without panicking. Kazan and I turned around and tried to run away, but Aris didn't move.
Aris is shaking like a crazy person.
'Shit. She's afraid of spiders again.'
A spider slowly approaches us.
Now is not the time to give Aris her courage. I picked up Aris and ran.
Kieeeee!!!!!!!
From behind, a spider let out a roar that echoed throughout the cave.
Suddenly, the entire cave began to vibrate. Me and Kazan stopped running.
"Shit! Something is out of the ordinary!"
Kazan shouted urgently.
Spiders of various sizes began burrowing out of the floor, walls, and ceiling of the cave. And infront of the wall leading to the entrance, numerous spiders have already gathered to create a wall of spiders and webs.
A giant spider that appeared to be the leader came out of the boss room, drooling, and slowly walked towards us. The eight red eyes seem to be smiling as they look at the prey caught in the trap.
'Can we win?'
I decided to check the status window of the spider.
'Inspect.'

Intelligence: 5
Mana: 1
Luck: –
Controlling an army of spiders, ignoring luck (?)
═══════════════════
It has high strength and agility and intelligence of 5, which is human-level intelligence. We can only defeat that leader spider if the three of us join forces, but considering Aris and the other spiders who are unable to come to their senses, we cannot win.
It is important now to escape somehow.
'Lucky 300! Help me!'
"Zeon! Made a decision quickly!"
Kazan chopping at the approaching spiders with his long sword and stamping on them while shouting. I also had no idea, so I fired magic in all directions.
"Fear! Confusion!"
Some spiders run away or attack nearby companions. I threw a spell at the spider, but it hit the body and bounced away.
'Fuck. As expected, mental magic doesn't work well against strong enemies.'
Spiders kept running at us, and we were pushed against the wall. I lifted Aris up and leaned my back against the wall. Kazan shouts, swinging his long sword like a berserker in front of me.
"You fucking bastards! Die! Aaaaah! Die!"
Aris is still drooling and shaking. I am slowly running out of my mana.
"Is this the end of my life in another world…"
I punched the wall behind me out of frustration and anger.
*Click*
"Huh?"
With the sound of gears turning, the wall I had my back to rotated 360 degrees and I fell into the space inside the wall.
*Aaaaaaaaahhh*
.
.
.
"What! Where am I?"
When I came to, I found myself in a small room cut off from the outside. Next to me, Aris is lying on the floor, drooling, but for now, knowing about this place comes first.
Then it occurred to me that Kazan was still out there. I pounded on the wall I had entered and desperately called out to Kazan.
"Kazan!! Kazan! Come in here! Fuck! Come in!"
But no matter how long I waited, Kazan did not come in. And there is no sound from outside at all. It feels as if this room is cut off from the outside.
"Kazan…"
There are countless spiders outside and Kazan is left alone.
"Fuck…This dog… You were the first friend here…"
To be honest, I used Kazan as I wanted, but I still consider Kazan a friend. Even though it was annoying for Kazan to wake me up in the morning like an alarm clock, my friendship with Kazan was enjoyable in its own way. Such Kazan has disappeared here.
"Fuck… Fuck…"
I realized why Kazan couldn't come in. It's because of my luck 300. Until I found this wall, someone had to block the spiders pouring in from the front, and the only person here who could do that was Kazan. Kazan's sacrifice itself was the luck that allowed me to live.
Sadness fills my heart, my heart feels tight and tears flow from my eyes.
"Ugh… It's because of me… I'm sorry. Kazan."
I may have been viewing life in another world too easily until now. This is a world where people easily die from monsters and robbers. I may have 300 luck, but it doesn't apply to other people.
I screamed into the air out of anger.
"Why didn't you come to Kazan to help me? Why!"
Actually, I also know why Kazan had no choice but to be sacrificed. No matter how lucky I was with 300, it would have been difficult to save both me and Kazan from the waves of spiders.
I have killed countless robbers and beaten up gangsters. And every time I extorted gold and silver treasure from them, I thought that the purpose of their existence was for me. However, I do not want to disparage the sacrifice of my close friend, Kazan, as if it were of existential significance.
"Kazan. Thank you, and I'm sorry."
After praying for Kazan's peace, I approached Aris, who had fainted with foam at the mouth. I can't lose Aris as well. I lifted Aris and laid her on the bed in the room and covered her with a blanket.
Afterward, I looked around the room. This room has enough items for one person to live in, including a bed, bookcase, desk, and chair. The walls of the room are plastered from floor to ceiling with magic circles, which seem to have the function of cutting off the room from the outside world. Maybe it's because of these magic circles that spiders can't come in here.
I took out an old notebook from the bookshelf. It says 'Diary' on the cover.
'Is this a diary written by the owner of this room?'
I read the diary from the first page.
[I was chased by the guards into the dungeon and discovered this room by chance. What is this room doing?]
[There is quite a lot of dried food in the room. Today I ate dried food and read the books on the shelf. The books are all related to necromancy. It seems to have something to do with this dungeon becoming an undead dungeon. But what do I have to do to get out of this room?]
.
.
.
[I ate all the food in the room. I'm so hungry. I searched through all the books on the shelf and found a way out. You just have to knock on the wall according to certain rules. Record the method on this page, so you don't forget. I am afraid that if I go out, I will be caught by a bounty hunter.]
.
.
.
[I ate a zombie today. It's good. Hi? Who are you? I am Baral. Let's be friends together.]
.
.
.
[Zombies are delicious. You eat too. ㄱㄱㅣㅣㅣㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏ』
As the diary became more and more incomprehensible, I gave up reading it. It seems that the serial killer Baral accidentally found this room and stayed there until his loneliness and depression turned him mad. Thanks to Baral's efforts, he obtained a way out.
'Thanks. Baral.'
This room was probably created by the necromancer who was the creator of this dungeon. I don't know what happened to the necromancer, but he must have contributed a lot to the development of this dungeon into an undead dungeon.
I sat next to the bed and looked down at Aris. There are two methods I can take now. The first is to wait for the rescue team to arrive. However, if Kazan is captured and hanging alive in the web, Kazan may die while waiting. I heard that some spiders keep their prey alive for a long time, so Kazan's survival is quite possible.
The second is to wake Aris up, defeat the spiders together, and run away after saving Kazan. However, it is not easy because Aris cannot even think of fighting due to her arachnophobia. And she's worried that Aris will be able to think normally when she wakes up, because she just passed out from such a shock.
'Aris shouldn't be ruined here. Phew… I'm worried.'
I was reminded of the spider's status window.
