54 – Dungeon

“How are you?”

They have typical Dark Elf appearances like Kir…

It was the Demon King’s Assassination Squad led by Kir.

And a woman who greets me with her sharp eyes and her long hair that falls down to her waist…

“Karen…?”

Kir’s younger sister, the vice-captain of the Demon King’s Assassination Corps, when I called her name, she nodded slightly and came closer.

“I came because I have something to say.”

“This way..”

Today is the first time I’m talking to Karen in person, but the atmosphere was very similar to the first time I saw Kir.

With a quiet personality, an eye that always seems to be wary of the surroundings, even the appearance of several daggers tucked in the waist like an assassin…

Karen had the other Assassins wait outside the barracks and followed me into the barracks.

“……”

I don’t know if he’s on guard after coming inside, or if he’s looking around out of curiosity,

I was looking around and looking around every nook and cranny.

“…The reason I came here is no different…”

She opened her mouth with difficulty, and Karen began to explain why she had come here.

“Ji… I’m here to ask for support.”

“Support?”

“Yes. Right now, our leader is imprisoned in the dungeon of the Devil Castle.”

When I heard that Kir was alive, I unknowingly got up from her seat and leaned towards her, waiting for her next story.

Surprised by my appearance, Karen regained her composure and continued her story.

“A few days ago, I heard the news that the two Four Heavenly Kings were headed here to the kingdom of Horon, and while sneaking out, I was caught in a trap by the demon king and captured.”

“Is Kir all right? Are you not hurt anywhere?”

“Yes. Not yet.”

I was happy just to hear that Kir was alive, but Karen’s expression didn’t look very good.

“Currently, we have no way to save the leader, so we came here.”

When Karen finished her words, she abruptly stood up and she lowered her head towards me and opened her mouth again.

“This please. Please help us save our leader.”

“Don’t do that, raise your head. Rather, you mustered up the courage to come here, and I am truly grateful.”

I don’t know Kir, who I used to come and go often, but it would have been impossible to come without ordinary courage to come to the enemy camp where there was a party of warriors as the demon king’s army.

When I thanked Karen, she put on a puzzled face for a moment, but then she came back to her senses at my words and returned to her original fierce face.

“First of all, can you tell us more about the current demon castle?”

I brought the old map of the Devil Castle and a pen on one side and held it out to Karen,

She was taking accurate pictures, from the dungeon where Kir was held, to the location of the demon king’s office.

*****

In the deepest dungeon in the castle, there was no quiet day because of a Dark Elf who had been captured the other day…

Kir, who until recently handed over confidential information about the Demon King’s Army to the hero, was being tortured while hanging in chains and being forced to give information about the hero’s party.

“Heh… Are you going to keep your mouth shut?”

“…..”

“Do you think the hero will come to rescue you just because you are like this?”

Dantalion, the Four Heavenly Kings, paused the torture for a while as part of a break, and continued asking questions to give Kir a despair as he stroked his forehead to see if the wounds he had sustained in the previous battle were throbbing.

“Tch… You have to know what to answer or not. How do I know the hero’s plan or his weakness?”

“You said that it wasn’t enough that you handed over the information of our demon army to the hero until now, and that you even lived with the hero for the past year?”

“I told you before. They weren’t living together, they were being held captive.”

Dantalion, the Four Heavenly Kings, held up a whip with a disapproving face towards Kir, who was fighting against him while hanging from the chains of the dungeon.

I felt cold the moment I killed him, but I managed my expression and opened my mouth again.

“Think about it. If it were you, would you want to hand over the confidential information of the Demon King’s army to the party member of the hero who was held hostage?”

“……”

After hearing Kir’s words, Dantalion, the Four Heavenly Kings, didn’t bother to answer to see if there was any truth to his words.

After a while, as if something came to mind, he immediately opened his mouth again.

“Then why did you give away our confidential information?”

“That… That’s right… The hero said he won’t let you go if you don’t bring the information… So…”

“Then are you saying that the hero is scary, and our demon king is not scary?”

“What kind of story goes like that again!!”

“What a cheeky b*tch!”

Pair!!

Dantalion, who was furious at the sight of Kir, who was the highest class and the Four Heavenly Kings among the officers of the Demon King’s army, raised his whip again,

Kir had to feel the pain of tearing his flesh again, along with the sound of cutting through the air, before the back he had hit before had even healed.

“Kuk… You bastard, you bastard!!”

Even when he was whipped, the swear words did not cease from Kir’s mouth, and each time Dantalion’s whipping was getting stronger and the sound of the blow was getting stronger.

It wasn’t like Kir was hanging on chains like this from the beginning.

As a member of an assassination squad, he tried to escape several times, but was caught and reached the stage where his limbs were tied up with chains.

He made several attempts, such as not giving him food for several days so that he wouldn’t even have the will to escape.

It was difficult for even the skilled torture technicians of the Demon King’s Army to accept Kir’s submission to the point of sticking out his tongue.

“What? Transformation?”

“Yes!! You perverted bastard!”

“My… Why am I…”

“Looking at what you’re doing right now, what is it if it’s not a pervert!?”

Dantalion, taken aback by Kir’s words, dropped the whip he was holding onto the floor.

After looking at her for a moment between the whip he was holding and the state of her current kir, he suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and approached her.

“Do you want me to show you what a real pervert is?”

“What… What?”

“I wasn’t going to do anything like this…”

Dantalion approached Kirr with a sinister smile and put his hand on Kirr’s clothes, which had been tattered from the torture.

Kir’s copper-colored bare skin was exposed through the carefully lifted clothes, and his sinister smile was getting thicker.

“The famous Assassin Leader, Kir, too… Looks like a woman? Will I be okay even after going through this?”

“What… What… What!”

Dantalion’s hand was entering Kir’s body through the clothes,

Stunned by this, Kir struggled and tried to push him away, but

The chains that bound her hands and feet were hard to break.

Sure…

Dantalion, who succeeded in entering through Kir’s clothes to his bare skin, stopped what he was doing and looked around because of the cold chill that blew from the entrance of the dungeon.

I know to some extent that the temperature of the dungeon is lower than the outside due to the nature of the dungeon,

The chill that was blowing now was blowing as if someone had created it artificially rather than naturally.

And after a while…

A chill creeps in from the prison entrance upstairs, lying low…

“What… What…!”

Only then did Dantalion realize that the situation was dire, and drew her sword from her waist and glared at the entrance.

The wooden door he was looking at was gradually frozen over and turning white like frost.

Kwagagagak… Boom!!

The ice-covered door was shattered as the ice cracked, and steam filled with cold was pouring into the prison.

Roar!! Bang!!

It happened very quickly.

A spark could be seen through the white steam filled with cold air, and within 0.1 Seconds it was flying towards Dantalion.

This soon turned into a warrior holding a flaming holy sword and crossed swords with Dantalion.

“Yo… Hero…!!”

Roaring!!!

It was good to cross swords with a hero who suddenly appeared, but

When it flew at high speed, it had to face the aftermath of the flames that engulfed the hero, causing air friction.

“aaah!!!”

Dantalion had to scream because he couldn’t stand the heat because his body was burning hot.

He had no choice but to step back as he faced swords.

“Whoa, whoa…”

This high-speed movement using the holy sword put strain on the body of the warrior, and the warrior endured the pain with a sigh.

“A warrior?”

Kir, who was almost beaten by Dantalion, didn’t care about his half-naked clothes,

She couldn’t tell if it was a dream or a reality at the appearance of a warrior who couldn’t appear here, so she just stared at her surprised face.

Kang!!! Kang!!!

Perhaps hearing Kir’s short voice, she slashed the chains that were tightly wrapped around her limbs with a single blade with her holy sword.

Killer, which was hanging in her air, fell toward her floor, but the hero’s hand reached the bottom first and she caught it.

“Are you okay? Kir?”

“Huh… This is… how…”

“Whoa.. What should I do with the clothes first?”

The hero took off his coat and covered Kir’s shoulders,

Kir’s clothes, which were torn as if his copper-colored bare skin were barely visible, were covered by the warrior’s coat.

“How did you get here? You know where this is!”

“Wherever.. Is where you are. Other party members came with me.”

“If you are a member of another party…”

Kir, who had heard the hero’s words, was still thinking of someone from the hero’s party when he saw the cold air coming in from the entrance.

“Whoops, whoops. Hero, did you know where this place is?”

“You are…”

“Huh.”

“Who are you?”

Dantalion, who naturally thought that she would remember him, almost fell as his legs gave out at the words of the hero, but

Dantalion, who had barely supported himself with his hand against the wall, straightened his sword again and opened his mouth.

“I can avenge my last grudge against you right here today.”

The warrior, who had not yet remembered Dantalion, had no choice but to raise his sword and face him when he saw him raising his sword.

But then…

“I’m sorry, Hero. Won’t you bring me a sword? A dagger would be better.”

“Huh?”

“I want to kill that bastard.”

Kir blocked the warrior with his hand and pointed to his dagger lying in the prison hallway.

Understanding the meaning, the hero quietly lowered the holy sword and went out into the prison hallway to throw the dagger to Kir.

“I’ll be waiting upstairs. Kir.”

“Yes.”

Kir, who smiled while holding the dagger that had been in his hand for the first time in a long time, smiled after adopting a typical Assassin’s combat stance.
