SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

Great snail empire.

(1) 1.

Immediately after clearing the stage.

Waiting for me on the 32nd floor, where I was forcibly transferred, was my fellow hunters and the [Princess Walking in the Mirage].

Among them, the princess was hugging a pillow that looked unusual.

"no.

that… ?”

Upon closer inspection, it was not a pillow, but a snail doll.

Unbelievable.

I don't know if it's a goblin doll or a snail doll...

.

“There are even goblin dolls.”

"Yes?" "here." Yap, the princess took out a goblin doll from her arms.

It was a doll with great reproduction of long ears, nose, and cheekbones.

“Uh, where did you get it? ?”

“I made it.”

“Can you show me...

.”

As I was about to make a legitimate and legitimate request as The Goblin God, someone interrupted me.

“What are you guys doing?”

The Black Dragon Lord looked at this as if it was ridiculous.

“If you have time to play with the constellation, let’s move on to the next stage.

It took 24 days just to attack the 31st floor.

… … No, do you think my senses are getting weird? It took years to break the tenth floor.

I really...

.”

“The Black Dragon, you are also holding something in your arms… .”

“Hey, this is for research.”

Black Dragon Zhu hid the bat doll behind him.

The Count and the Paladin also fiddled with the Elf and Mermaid dolls, respectively.

“I’m here to check the product.

It's a rare item made by the constellation, isn't it?" “The description of the item was also faithful.”

these humans...

.

“The king.

here." "Oh, thank you." I took the goblin doll, hugged it tightly, and looked around.

white world.

nothing was visible.

It was as if the white paper was stretched out endlessly and indefinitely.

We were alone in the middle of the drawing paper.

Well.

“… … Is this the 32nd floor?”

I asked, even though I thought it was impossible in my heart.

just as expected.

The princess shook her head while hugging the snail doll.

“It’s convenient to think of this as a kind of waiting room.

To realize the 32nd floor, all of you must first declare 'stage clear'.

Ah.

In the case of the viper over there, I stayed here for a full month waiting for you guys.”

“It was a little sore and I thought it was a sore throat!”

The viper frowned as he sat on the white floor.

“Why are you so late? I'll take care of the kids and come out right away.

I couldn’t even observe what you were doing here, so I meditated all day.”

“With the goblin doll.”

“It helps with meditation.

So, I am approaching the strategy from a thoroughly pragmatic and practical point of view, but what are you really doing now? Anyway, I want to be over-immersed...

.”

"no.

You are so insensitive.”

The paladin sighed.

“Didn’t the princess say when I entered the 31st floor? [The 31st to the 40th floor is a tribal war].

In other words, there is a possibility that the 31st to 40th floors are a continuous stage.

It may be that we will rule consecutively the race we picked on the 31st floor.”

".Huh?" "If it's just breaking the 31st floor, you can take care of it as you said.

But if you rule up to the 40th floor, it's a different story.

should be left.”

The viper blinked in one eye.

“It was recognizable by anyone looking at it.”

The paladin's sigh grew heavier.

"A little bit, think about this on your own.

Liaopan.

You tend to think too roughly about things that are not related to martial arts..." "Ji, is it true? ? So everyone was on the 31st floor for a fortnight at a time?”

The viper hurriedly looked around.

eager eyes.

It was as if he wanted one of us to say 'no'.

Unfortunately, there was no hunter here who had less brain cells to respond to the wishes of the viper.

“Moonju.

it's okay." I smiled kindly and tapped the viper on the shoulder.

“Sah, my lord… … .

isn't it? Did the paladin get it wrong? I'm not the only one left behind like a head...

?”

“Even if Moon Ju-nim’s tribe is destroyed, there are still six tribes left.”

"Damn it!" A viper covered his face.

While appreciating our skit like this, the princess shed a playful laugh.

“Don’t worry too much.

From No.

1 to No.

7, from the first to the 'next era'...

I survived to the 32nd floor stage.

Thanks to all of you, the prehistoric era is quickly over.

From now on, it’s ancient.”

antiquity.

Between the 31st and 32nd floors, there is an era gap.

'At least thousands of years after that.' thousands of years.

I was worried about whether the goblins were doing well during this long period of time, but when the princess professed to be alive, I was relieved a little.

However, the princess made a completely unexpected remark.

"ruler! Since everyone has gathered, I will open the next stage.”

The princess floated the snail doll in the air and climbed on it.

And like a cavalry on horseback oh-! He raised one arm while making a sound.

"The 32nd floor is the world 200 years after the 31st floor!" "......." There was silence among the colleagues.

I also had a similar reaction.

"Yes?" No, he said 200 years.

It means that the prehistoric era ended in 200 years and the ancient era began.

“Two hundred years? In the past, even when the elves raised elves by neglecting the points, the gap between the 31st and 32nd floors was more than a thousand years.

Even if my memory is not accurate, it must have been at least 500 years.

But 200 years? Is it that we raised our children that well? “I heard you right.”

The princess smiled brightly.

"I was surprised too.

I knew you were fast, but I didn't know you were going to be this fast.

No, in this case, I might have to say [slow] rather than [fast]...

Yeah.

Sometimes the way back is a shortcut.

Human law.”

“What do you mean?”

“Go to the 32nd floor and you’ll find out.

The princess put the goblin doll down on the white floor and spread her arms out wide, "Then I'll open the 32nd floor!" “Wait a minute.”

Black Dragon Zhu said, she was also bewildered by the number of 200 years.

"We haven't all gathered yet.

There's no Inquisitor here." Black Dragon Zhu was right.

There are now six people gathered in the waiting room, including myself.

One of our members, the Heretic Inquisitor, still has not appeared.

." "Ah.

If that's the case, you don't have to worry about it, it's okay." The princess waved her hands.

“I told you before.

[All the people who will gather have gathered], he said.

If the Inquisitor is talking about the fourth place in your rank, he is the first to arrive on the 32nd floor and wait.”

“… … What?" “Like I said.”

The princess smiled.

“You’ll find out when you go.”

Paaah! A white light enveloped us.

2.

When we woke up, we were floating in the sky.

The world unfolded beneath my feet.

In the last world, vast ocean forests were luxuriant.

This time it was different.

There were no forests, no streams, no sunlight shining through the leaves.

There wasn't even a sky.

"Oh My God." The black dragon mumbled blankly.

"What is that… … ?”

The world under your feet.

The landscape that Heilongju expressed as 'that' was the 'underground city'.

There, there was a city that I had never seen or heard of before.

- It's hard because the way home from work is too far, Lime.

Somewhere, shrill voices were heard.

-I heard that there is a new tavern near Daegong-dong...

.

- I would like to postpone the date of the seal this year, Lime.

Something crawled through the city.

Yes.

Not walking, but crawling.

They were snails.

Translucent creatures wandered around.

With a large snail nest on its back.

"crazy… ?”

Underground city, no.

The underworld is completely different from where we live.

Once there was no way.

Instead of walking on the road, the snails moved by clinging to the wall.

- Don't get too close to our wall, Raime! - You're kidding.

Every wall in the police is a public good, rhyme! God decides where I get to, but I decide how I crawl, Rhyme.

The snails roamed freely left and right, up and down with ease.

A huge underworld.

Even at a glance, stone buildings with more than 20 stories were erected at random, but there were no stairs to be found anywhere.

The snails simply climbed up the wall and slipped into their windows.

-The rent has risen too much these days, Lime...

.

-It's a pity this winter, but I have no choice but to stay in the 'old house'...

.

There were even homeless people.

The homeless huddled together in a small cave and dug into the snail's nest.

The homeless people gave and took the bright blue mineral.

As the snail took the blue stone in its mouth and swallowed it, its translucent body glowed bluish.

The snail's body itself had turned blue.

-Lime… Enduring today for this bite, Raimu...

.

-Looking at the bright light, it seems that the little ones saved some good stuff, Lime.

-I was lucky.

Seriously, traders these days have no morals, Lime.

How can you play a prank on a stone cigarette even if you play with an object? It's not something people do, Lime.

- I only took one bite...

.

It didn't end there.

- Move your luggage quickly, Lime! The snail swung its tentacles.

Iron shit! A squishy sound rang out.

The tribe hit by the tentacles groaned and carried the heavy stones onto the wagon.

noble people.

The goblins, which were once ruled by vipers, were working while whining.

- Seriously, nobles are all lazy! Lime! The snail that looked like the manager grunted.

-If you sell your eyes on a dirty expensive subject, you do something else.

Raimu.

I feed them, dress them up, put them to sleep, and keep them alive, but I don't know what the hell I'm complaining about.

-hit.

After all, slaves can climb with just a little bit of grace, Lime.

What's good about the subject of a lower race without a shell? - Hey, slave.

You say 'rhyme' once, rhyme.

If you know how to pronounce it properly, I'll take a look.

The snails were much smaller than the nobles.

The nobles had a large body like an orc, and a single horn grew out of the center of their foreheads.

However, the nobles struggled with snails that couldn't even fit their waists.

- Lay, Raimi.

- Look at that! Slaves can't even pronounce rhymes properly! Since you were born, you can't even speak sacred words, Lime.

superficial things! Move the stone quickly! -Ugh...

Oh my gosh.

Maybe those snails.

Are you treating nobles as slaves? "no… … .

what is that...

… ." The viper opened his mouth.

Suddenly, his race had been reduced to slavery.

"Ah, anyway.

Does this make sense? Me and I took care of myself and left the 31st floor! I made knives for the kids, and even spears.

I made them and taught them how to fight...

What, that! Slaves? Did my race become slaves?!”

"what." At that moment, a familiar voice was heard: "You can see the old faces!" He was a heresy interrogator.

“Ahaha.

Is it really recognized that we have finally entered a new era? hmmm.

If it's slow, it's slow, if it's fast, it's fast.

no.

If you evaluate it objectively, you should think of it as being recognized for being fast!”

The Inquisitor was the same as usual.

He was wearing a black priest's uniform as usual, and he was smiling like usual.

So the viper did not feel any abnormality and rushed to the heresy inquisitor.

"Hey! You psychopath bastard!”

“Oh, yes.”

“How did that happen! Why is my race the Shidavari of yours?!”

The viper grabbed the Inquisitor's collar and shook it.

The Heretic Inquisitor was shaky, but he did not erase a smirk from his lips.

“I can explain that in a nutshell! The [snail civilization] I have now achieved requires a highly intensive workforce.

Slavery is a pretty decent system for providing a workforce! Just 112 years ago, the nobles invaded on a large scale, defeated them, and captured them all!”

“What, what… … ?”

“Ah.

do not worry.

It was difficult to tame as it is a race with very high self-esteem, and it is still difficult, but it succeeded in killing momentum to some extent! Perhaps in the next three generations we will be able to change the nature of the race.”

"......." The viper puckered his mouth.

It was a face that could not follow the heresy inquisitor's words at all.

On the other hand, the other fellow hunters looked at each other without a word, noticing to some extent.

“… … Inquisitor here.”

I took the initiative and opened my mouth.

“I’d like to ask you something.”

“Ah, my lord! Yes! Ask anything.”

The Inquisitor smiled.

If the Inquisitor had a dog tail, he would be fluttering passionately by now.

Her smile was so lively that I could only imagine that.

“We moved to the waiting room after we declared the 31st floor clear.

You weren't there.

The princess said you were the first to arrive on the 32nd floor...

… What does that mean?”

"Well? iced coffee.

indeed.

Aha." The Inquisitor tilted his head three or four times.

“Strictly speaking, this is an incorrect expression.

I didn't get to the 32nd floor first! All the while, I have only stayed on the 31st floor all this time!”

"......." silence.

"……Yes?" “It’s just like I said.

King! We know that you declared stage clear one after another.

Because the tower told me.

But I thought! If the 31st floor is connected to the next floor, there is no need to declare clear, right?”

“……”

“I know a little bit about the way human history unfolded.

This knowledge was sure to be of great help to the development of [Snail Civilization]! Therefore, I told the Tower that I would not declare the stage clear.”

"then… … ." "Yes! I continued to hover around the Sanwa and take care of them!”

The Inquisitor laughed broadly.

“Welcome, everyone! Ahh.

It's been 200 years and it's been 6 months and 21 days! Nice to see you after a long time!”

crazy.159.
