Chapter 631 – #128_Labyrinth(2)
#631
One.
– Doo-woong!
The beginning of the change was trembling.
Vibration of profound and massive magic power.
The familiar sense of incongruity of another world being drawn on top of the world.
“Ready! Ready!”
“Kyaho! It’s finally here!”
The witches, who had been leisurely spending time complaining, prepare for battle, each holding a wand, staff, and formal dress.
Gleaming eyes as if everyone was waiting for the sound of a 100M run.
Somehow, the will to subdue the homunculus first and take care of her legacy is visible.
Siu also took the red branch and Elroa took out her contract sword from the space.
She was an eloah who took over the role of referee, but she was meant to be a deterrent in the event of an armed conflict.
At the same time, a labyrinth covering the heat sand of the desert.
In fact, it is recorded that the demon of the labyrinth is not very good at fighting.
Nevertheless, the reason she was able to survive until she had a name is because the structure of her labyrinth is particularly difficult.
It was common for witches who tried subjugation to give up subjugation while lost and wandering.
“Siwoo, don’t be too impatient and do it slowly.”
Eloah, who was about to give her advice to Siwoo in the labyrinth that was completed by drawing a blurry shape, realized that he who had been by her side until just now had disappeared like a mirage.
“Siwoo?”
The demon of the labyrinth not only created a maze, but also scattered the people swallowed inside it to random locations.
This was not the method originally used by the devil in the labyrinth.
It was clearly a couple of steps further than that.
Of course, the demon of the labyrinth is a homunculus that appears after hundreds of years.
You may have made some progress in your abilities in the meantime.
Nevertheless, in a sudden surge of anxiety, Elroa opened her eyes of truth, an observational magic that pierced all falsehoods and falsehoods.
“No way….”
However, the ability to read books tens of kilometers away, the magic that penetrates the inside and outside of the barrier on the other side, is blocked by a wall like a lie.
It was the same no matter where I looked up, down, left, or right.
Even Eloah did not expect to create such a perfectly isolated space.
“What…?”
Eloa, panicked, felt her successive signs of ominousness.
She assigned one of the 12 contracts to Shiu and gave him a guardian contract.
A contract that can specify the user’s location and, in some cases, allows sight and hearing to be shared without permission.
It was a contract that unintentionally peeked into the rough intercourse with Periwinkle the other day.
However, even the insurance that I had put in place for the first time in a while was cut off.
There was no way Siwoo could have suffered in such a short period of time.
Also, there is no way that Eloa’s contract would be broken so vainly.
At this point, Elroa was convinced of the intervention of a third party, which she had vaguely recalled.
In order to destroy the magic of the 23rd hierarchy witch, the witch who intervened had the ability to match that level.
“Tipheret, the time for a resolution has come.”
As if to support such an expectation, a witch walks out of the darkness.
Black hair and eyes that were sticky like drops of oil.
Even though she held it obliquely, the blade of the sword with a large attitude that reached her toes fluttered.
The ripples of her magical power flowing over her shoulder are dense, befitting the lofty realm of the 22nd hierarchy.
“Samachiel.”
Realizing that her work was terribly wrong, Eloa corrected her sword and called her name in a low voice.
Sword Witch, Rinne Samachiel.
As you can guess from her nickname, she was a rare achievement from Qliphort who used a sword as her main weapon, and possessed a way of thinking not like a witch.
All I long for is overwhelming strength.
Magic and the operation of businesses are nothing more than means for one’s own power.
If I came out as the main character of a boy’s manga, it would be a very appropriate temperament and goal, but in reality it is different.
The way she seeks her strength is by slashing opponents stronger than herself.
He was nothing more than a serial killer who walked the bloody road, wielding knives all over the world.
In fact, those who have fallen for that attitude are only officially confirmed in double digits.
That’s why Ilshin’s strength is threatening.
No matter how many times Eloah tried subjugation in the past, she had to let her go without making a decision.
“Was he targeting me from the beginning?”
Paradoxically, Eloa felt a bit of relief.
The Sword Witch is a madman with a twist somewhere, but in a sense she is an extremely honest opponent.
Trust and pursue only strength.
Like other feats, it comes from the front without resorting to tricks or tricks.
In other words, she thought it would be okay to put her worries aside for a while, as she would have felt if there were other achievements in front of her.
Until he sees two witches appearing next to Rinne who keeps silent.
“Wow, look at your eyes. It’s really scary.”
“If you want to fall out, fall out now.”
“No, where else can I find such a good opportunity?”
They were the witches who had stayed silent in the Exiles’ camp a while ago.
The faces of the two witches who appeared are transformed into those of completely different people.
In the first place, he had been mixed in with the crowd while wearing camouflage.
Eloagi, who memorizes all the names and faces of major achievements, identified their identities at a glance.
‘The Corpse Witch’ and ‘The Silent Witch’.
Each of the 20th rank is a great witch from Qlipport who participated in the Gehenna raid in the past.
At the same time, she was also a public figure whose recent whereabouts were obscure because she had been hiding for decades.
The reason why they appeared again, especially with the Sword Witch, seemed obvious.
Exclusion of Eloah through Hapgong.
Since Keter was unable to move, Eloah was replacing her in that role.
By taking the lead, he subdued the exploits that caused the uproar and put an end to confusion.
However, unlike Keter, who was an absolute being she could not resist, she had limits to Elroa, and she made the public official ‘If only that bitch…’ It was enough to satisfy her greed of ‘.’
“You’re being mean.”
“…….”
It was a problem that I expected to encounter at some point.
But to think that the Witch of the Sword, and no one else, would join this plan. That’s the only surprise.
It’s been a long time since I felt a sense of crisis.
If it was simply two 20th tier witches gathered, it wouldn’t pose much of a threat to Eloa.
That’s why there is a wall between the 23rd and 20th ranks.
However, if the witch of the sword who can stop the tyranny of Eloa stands in the vanguard and the other two support the rear, the story is different.
Even she couldn’t easily predict her odds.
It is a power that can easily organize a considerable number of location points with only three visible ones.
But she is an eloada who has survived all kinds of battlefields.
She handled the situation calmly and unfazed.
Even if the guardian’s contract was terminated, the possibility that Siu would be in danger was very low.
At this point, Qliphoth is not a solid group like before.
It is a situation that has become famous due to the loss of the head, causing discord with each other and disintegration.
In that sense, it was right to judge that these three were the power they squeezed out.
Considering those factors, it would be normal for him to join the fight against Eloa even if he had extra power to threaten Siwoo.
Also, Eloa believed in Siwoo’s ability.
If the people who concocted this plan send her inconsiderate witch to him, he will become a prey instead.
Then, the only thing left to do is to subdue these three people and return to Siwoo safely.
“Contract.”
Along with Eloah’s chant, a pink magic reflection light spread from her eyes.
2.
It’s already been about 10 minutes since the labyrinth unfolded and the guardian’s contract was broken, but Siu didn’t feel any special sense of danger.
In fact, Siu didn’t know about the ‘contract’ as much as Eloa.
What a solid connection it is.
I didn’t fully understand how advanced the witch’s intervention would be to cut it off.
Therefore, even though the contract was cut off after being thrown out of the labyrinth, there was no sense of crisis, and he had the impression that ‘the original labyrinth must have been this kind of magic’.
The labyrinth summoned by the demon of the labyrinth was truly amazing.
The barriers that have their own rules, such as ‘fish tank’, are quite different from the scenes commonly associated with the word ‘labyrinth’.
In other words, it is not a landscape reminiscent of Pac-Man’s labyrinth, with dry plaster walls lined up windingly.
Instead, it seems to be invited inside a huge castle.
The space created by the intertwining of rooms, hallways, and stairs played a sufficient role as a maze.
“This is a bit strange.”
After walking around long enough, he found another set of upright stairs.
When you step on these stairs, which at first glance seem poorly designed, the direction of gravity changes like a lie, and you can walk up as it is.
In addition, there was a landscape of an upside-down castle hanging from the ceiling connected to the vertical stairs, and the structure of the rooms and corridors could be rearranged and transformed in real time.
In other words, it is a three-dimensional labyrinth rather than a flat structure.
It seemed like he knew why so many witches hadn’t been able to subdue the demons of the labyrinth.
That’s right, if you decide to hide in a space like this, you won’t be able to search for it even with any kind of magic.
“It’s filthy big.”
There was no sharp way for Siu either, so all he did was wander around.
It wasn’t particularly good for fighting power, but if it was simply a treasure hunt, the story would be different.
Some element of luck intervenes.
“Is the dream of debt repayment disappearing like this….”
When he hastened his search, he reached a large ballroom-like space.
Siwoo, who felt a disquieting expression, stopped his steps.
Nothing was detectable.
But the intuition that developed as she crossed her extremities complained of discomfort.
“I know you’re hiding there, come out.”
Just in case, I shouted in a loud voice like when I was entering an empty house alone.
“…….”
No answer is heard
Well, even if there are people hiding, there’s no way they’d come out of such poor judo….
“How did you notice? He obviously hid it carefully.”
“It’s probably because your magic isn’t good enough.”
“You shut up, Malisha. Alice unni, it’s not really like that.”
Really came out
In the midst of being dumbfounded, I quickly check my face.
“I heard that you are a witch, but you seem to have quite a talent?”
Total of three people.
Alice, the ‘mercury witch’ who spoke with Master as the representative of the outcasts, and two others.
They came down the stairs and approached Siu without hesitation.
Unlike the outside, this is a completely isolated labyrinth.
You don’t have to worry about outside eyes.
So it would not be an illusion that their steps felt like hunters who had found their prey.
“It looks cute. Sister, can I play with you later?”
“Aren’t you covering your eyes? Wow, this is trusting the teacher and babbling.”
As soon as he reached the first floor, two jjolttagu surrounded Siwoo.
I didn’t come here to get ripped off like this.
“Ugh.”
Siu sighed.
