SL:R

Chapter 52

[Kiyaaaak!]

The Shadow Centipede bared its ferocious teeth at Randolph, who dared to show signs of bloodlust to its master.

Crunch! The colossal body shook, hitting Randolph and slamming him against the wall.

“Ugh!”

How many times had he been in this situation today?

But Randolph still remembered that Sooho was a Summoner.

“Lowly Summoner! Once I kill you, everything will…”

Thunk!

However, he couldn’t finish his sentence.

***
Although they had defeated Randolph, Sooho’s expression was serious.

“Where did an A-rank Hunter get these injuries?”

He must have exerted an incredible amount of power in his weakened state. The problem was that the being that caused his injuries was beyond that door.

“What could be inside?”

Esil also looked solemn. “It’s ominous. If I were alone, I would have escaped from here immediately.”

As Sooho got closer to the dungeon’s heart, his Sense stat sent fierce warnings. However, he couldn’t help feeling strange.

‘I don’t know why, but it feels like something is waiting for me.’

The same was true for the artificial mummies and the prophecy.

Above all, Sooho was curious about what Kandiaru, the great sorcerer who designed the leveling system, was doing in this pyramid. All the answers to his questions were beyond that door.

Before he knew it, the giant door had appeared before him. He looked up at the door, and his eyes gleamed. “Let’s go in.”

“Wait, hold on. Break time!” Esil called out to him urgently, and then she pointed to the Vulcan’s Horn. “Should I enter now, in case things go wrong inside?”

“You want to enter now?”

“I-I should, don’t you think?”

Anything is difficult at first but easy the second time.

Frightened, Esil quickly turned into an ethereal form and possessed Sooho’s sword.

[Vulcan’s Horn devours the demon’s soul.]

“It seems to be eating too much today. I hope it doesn’t get indigestion.” Sooho, who refreshed his mind with some pointless words, finally opened the door.

Creak.

And what came into his view was a giant crocodile man!

[Ammut, Devourer of the Dead]

“Roaar!”

‘Ammut? It sounds like a name from Egyptian mythology.’

Sooho remembered.

Originally, Ammut was a monster similar to Cerberus in Greek mythology. It was described as having the head of a crocodile, the mane of a lion, the upper body of a lion, and the lower body of a hippopotamus, but this guy was just a muscular crocodile man.

As soon as Ammut spotted Sooho, he charged at him.

“Roaaar!” Thump, thump, thump, thump! His gigantic steps shook the entire pyramid.

“All-out attack!”

In response to his order, the shadow soldiers led by the Shadow Centipede began attacking Ammut.
