Chapter 294 – 288 the Labyrinth of the Tyrant Dragon
Hwan-in, who accepted Hwan-yeon as a colleague, pondered the reason for the violent urge he felt then, and soon found out the reason from Hwan-yeon’s behavior.
「Isilite, you are very beautiful. The subtle spirit scent is also attractive.”
=Go, thank you…… ?」
= Me? Am i?=
「Anne also looks like the spirits would like her, but her spirit power is low. If she had a slightly higher spirit power, she would have been loved by the spirits.”
= Ah. That’s why the spirits didn’t even look at me…….=
“That’s it. It’s okay.」
= Huh?! Hwa, welcome. What are you doing?=
“I have no clothes. Cold.”
Hwan-yeon, who penetrated Isilite’s breastbone, which stood out because she was wearing armor, let out a small sigh as if she was feeling good.
=Hwanyeon, I will make clothes for you, so please come out.=
“You can just stay here.”
=I have to fight all the time, so it’s dangerous if you’re there.=
=Is it okay if you come to me?=
“Anne can’t because her breasts are small…” … Aww! Grabbing her hair and pulling it, are you going to pull my neck out!”
Hwanin looked at Anne, who was sullen after watching her protesting with her head held, and said,
“If I had pulled her arm, I would have said it would be pulled out,” She said. If I had grabbed her body, I would have said it would crush her. But I wouldn’t have listened to it if I had said it, so I have no choice but to do it.”
「Ugh. What a violent and reckless person this is!”
Hwanin, ignoring her whining, said to her after checking her left breast pocket.
“Come in here from now on. It’s the best thing in terms of ensuring your safety.”
“It’s a pity that I’m not soft and fluffy, but it can’t be helped. Isilite, quickly make my clothes.”
= Yes, yes…….=
“And when Issilite and Anne have time, ask Hwanyeon to correct their tone. Fantastic, so that you too learn with all your heart what Issilite and Anne teach you.”
“Why?”
“I sense a weak but genocide from you. If you don’t fix this, I think you and I will get into trouble in the future.”
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better for you to fix it in a mutual relationship? Isilite and Anne will like it even more if you use a friendly tone.”
“I have lived with this tone and attitude for over 25 years. On the other hand, if you correct it a day after you were born, it will be easier and more effective for you. In addition, in order to utilize your physical appearance, a slightly softer tone and tone will create stronger synergy.”
And considering his status as a spirit master, he said that a slightly firm tone would avoid annoying and troublesome things and not look down on him rather than a soft and friendly tone, and that a somewhat hard tone would suit his appearance.
After that, the party continued to fight with Issilite’s growth as the main goal.
Until then, the search for Hyungjong Lee had been about running into each other by chance or wandering around until he was struck by Bisang and Hwanin’s presence, but after Hwanyeon became a companion…….
“The wind spirit says there are three green, two-tailed monsters over there.”
“The earth spirit is telling me that there are four ugly, rugged monsters gathered there.”
Tell the location of the heteromorphic species through the spirits.
“There are people coming this way from that direction.”
“If you keep going like this, you will run into other people.”
By notifying the location of other parties, you can focus more on fighting heteromorphs without running into people.
It just didn’t give good results.
As the battle continued, Isilite’s face continued to harden as the number of wounds Isilite received increased, and tension and pressure began to weigh on her shoulders.
Low-level labyrinths, except for certain labyrinths, do not have strong mental invasion factors.
The lower you go down, the stronger the infringement effect naturally becomes, and you are unknowingly dominated by mental fatigue and pain.
However, a high-level labyrinth sprays a strong invasion effect from the entrance.
A cool atmosphere that pierces the lungs with every breath.
The illusion that someone is watching even though no one is around.
The feeling of tickling the nape of the neck as if someone else was standing behind you.
Hwanin has the experience of an open labyrinth, and is in a state of being immune to mental invasion due to the phase current effect and the difference in mental structure.
Anne had experience of numerous 6th and 7th grade labyrinths, so she was not weighed down by her aura, but Isilite was different.
Her experience in the labyrinth was one thousand, and it was also her first time in a high-level labyrinth of level 6 or higher, and since this situation itself was happening because of her, her unconscious feelings of entitlement for him and her regret for the Hwanin continued to stimulate.
Rather, it was an environment hostile to humans, like the prison labyrinth or Wayford’s unreachable labyrinth, and ironically, it would have been less tense if Anne and I had entered alone.
Because she could only concentrate on fighting.
However, Hwanin came in with him and continuously recognized his presence, and the inside of the labyrinth, which seemed to have preserved a perfect ecosystem, had as many elements to be concerned about as compared to the prison labyrinth.
A wild beast that appears out of nowhere and makes you flinch. A flying beast that frightens people by leaping up suddenly.
During battle, you have to be careful not to step on a tree branch that has fallen on the ground and slip, and be careful not to get caught on a rock.
Heterogeneous species that appear are also tricky.
The majority of heterogeneous species in the prison labyrinth are undead. Destroying it as much as possible or destroying its head would kill it, and bodily fluids flowing from the rotting body were dangerous, but it wasn’t a problem if you had enough skills and a mask, so there were rather few factors to pay attention to.
But the tyrant dragon’s labyrinth was different.
First of all, the anger and hatred pouring out from the living opponent, the murderousness, and the unique presence of living beings put pressure on it.
As the layer deepened, the heteromorphic species became huge and difficult to deal with, and they flocked in groups, and sometimes even heteromorphic species that inflicted poison or elemental attacks appeared, stimulating her nerves.
Here, Hwanin is watching, so the obsession that he shouldn’t make a mistake got in the way.
In a situation where the number of things to be concerned about increased and did not decrease, and she was carrying the burden on her mind, it was only natural that Isilite’s body movements would become dizzy.
Kwadeuk!
=…… !=
In the end, Isilite, who was bitten on her thigh while fighting three of her double-headed vipers, was poisoned by the poison that reduced her physical abilities and was put on the defensive. Because of this, she was not completely cured.
Because she was bitten on her arm again while blocking her attack, Isilite’s poisoning intensified and her physical abilities further declined.
First defeat.
Issilite bowed her head in remorse and silently attended Anne’s treatment.
=…… Don’t bother too much It’s common to get hurt in a fight. It is said that warriors and fighters grow as much as the wounds on their bodies, right?=
= I didn’t care. Because I was reviewing her mistakes earlier. =
Anne comforted Isilite by curing her sex art, but Isilite responded coldly with her hardened face, as if there was no room in her heart.
=Then I’m glad.=
But Anne didn’t care. After she finishes her treatment, she gives her a gentle pat on the shoulder.
At her kindness, Isilite felt the pressure on her grow stronger. It seemed that her jealousy and envy toward her, which she knew or did not know, would change into her envy.
Beautiful silver hair that shines as brilliantly as the moon in the night sky.
If there was a goddess, she would be like that. A gorgeous and veiled appearance.
Compared to his own fat body, he has a slender body, tall height and strong strength.
The family history of her status, which she never openly admitted with her own mouth, but she would never be low.
The feeling of being pessimistic about her own situation, that nothing could compare to her, and that her sense of defeat and her envy would be overwhelming.
Hwanin, who was watching Isilite from behind, noticed that her mind was in many ways the limit.
If left as it is, far from growing up to the 5th grade, mental illness in her labyrinth will cause mental illness.
‘Is this much I can do without help and care?’
Even if you came in without any stress factors, the high-level labyrinth is a place where psychological pressure is severe. Feeling this kind of psychological pressure, he fought nonstop for several days, so even doing this much was a good thing.
Isilite asked Hwan-yeon, who was sitting on her flight attendant’s head wearing her clothes that Isilite had made for her.
“Enjoyment. Are there people around?”
“No. What are you going to do?”
“I know when I see it.”
Confirming that there was no one around her except for her colleagues, Hwanin silently spread a wave of tranquility.
A group of grayish-white light spreads out warmly, gently wrapping around Ishilite and her party.
Isilite somehow felt a warm feeling and felt her tightness release, as if a stone had been placed in her chest.
Her shoulders go down and her body becomes more comfortable, as if she was unconsciously giving her body strength.
Taking off her gauntlet and rubbing her face once with her hands, Isilite brushed away the sense of defeat and envy in her heart, got up from her seat, and bowed her head to her phantom.
=Thank you, master.=
“It’s not that I don’t understand your pressure, but try to relax your shoulders as much as possible. You shouldn’t be so nervous.”
In response to Isilite’s thanks, her phantom calmly patted her head, and Isilite lowered her head with her cheeks blushing slightly.
Dew’s stiff atmosphere has loosened up a bit.
Anne noticed that she was in danger, but there was nothing she could do for her, so she put her mind to sleep, and when she saw Isilite’s expression loosen up, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.
And she grinned and stabbed Hwanin in the side.
=Do-ryeong, wouldn’t hugging her more help relieve her tension than comforting her with words? What do you think?=
When Hwanin reads Anne’s intentions, he smiles and replies.
“If you hug me like that, it will cause other problems.”
= Problem? What’s wrong?=
Hwanin put her hand on Anne’s cheek, who did not understand her, and began to look at her deeply as she met her eyes. He then blinks her eyes and blushes in embarrassment.
She deliberately turns her head and places her hand on Anne’s cheek, who is trying to avoid her gaze, and holds her by the waist, holding her close to her. As she did, let her face a little closer…….
= Oh, take care! I admit it, I admit it!=
Unable to bear the constant gazes on her, Anne declared her surrender, ran away from Hwanin, fanned her face with her palms, and finally covered her face with both of her hands and burst into laughter.
= Wow~ Why am I like this? Ahahaha!=
I’m so ashamed! The other problem that Doryeong said was this~!
Hwanyeon, who was looking at this pathetically from the top of Bisang’s head, tugged at the collar of her clothes and threw a scolding.
“It’s strange. At night, do you mix your body and become a female face just by making eye contact?”
= Yay, it’s a female! You can’t use words like that! No, where did you learn that before?=
“I can hear what the nearby spirits hear. I heard another party exploring the labyrinth say that Anne, a woman with a similar expression to you, is a female.”
= No, no. That’s a bad word A good fairy shouldn’t use such a thing.=
“Okay?”
=Yes!=
“Well, whatever that is. I don’t understand why they let Dew fight alone. I think the current fighting method is inefficient.”
Hwan-yeon asked Hwan-in, but her answer was given by Anne.
= It’s because Dew is in the intensive training period right now. The purpose of entering this labyrinth is to raise Dew to level 5.
“Does he grow faster if he fights alone?”
= Combat experience increases quickly. =
Hmm? Hwan-yeon tilts her head, asks what the wave of gray-white light from earlier was, and then makes her own decision.
「In other words, it is a monopoly of experience. It’s a simple but effective structure that uses consumables to limit the use of all of them as much as possible, relieves mental fatigue with waves of tranquility, and secures the time available for hunting.”
=…… It’s all true, but something is a bit unsettling…….=
“What is it that makes you uncomfortable?”
=You talk. You’re talking about me like a biological part. What is that.=
“It’s not a big deal, don’t worry about it.”
=Is that a problem?! And I told you to change your tone! Add ~yo cutely to the ending, yo!=
“It’s not a big deal, don’t worry about it.”
=NO!=
Looking at Anne, whose face was red enough to touch it, and the slightly ridiculous conversation of serious fanfare, Isilite felt the burden in her heart slowly disappear and feel at ease in her unknown comfort.
Ah, I guess I was caught up in a mental invasion too.
Isilite, who recalled the encouragement her Hwanin had given her a while ago, came to a very small realization.
‘Is it……. I was thinking complicated and difficult like my master.’
Because of that, she began to be strongly affected by the mental invasion, and her body hardened accordingly.
She had just been bitten, which she would have easily avoided if it were normal, but the tension stiffened and dulled her body, and she was bitten.
Isilite recalled the things that weighed on her in her head.
She insisted on taking a test that she didn’t have to take.
What should I do if I fail the test and disgrace my master’s name?
What if things go bad and I get separated from my master?
It’s painful to be apart from the master, but you can endure it. No matter how much time passes, I have faith that if it is the owner, he will wait for me.
However, it is scary to lose one’s place in the meantime.
I am afraid that someone else will take my place.
=I tried not to say this, but your tone is so bad.=
“What is bad? … Yo. This?”
=It’s like casually digging into someone else’s wounds.=
“My speaking method should have been copied from Hwanin’s. Does that mean that you think that what Hwanin says is unpleasant? … Yo. This?”
= This! This now! He casually shoots arrows at you at Doryeong! I’m telling you, why are you bringing someone else with you? And he never talks to us like that!=
“…… Come to think of it, it is. Hwanin was talking kindly to you. … Yo. This.”
=Not only to us, but to others as well!=
“That is a pretense. Pretense with little to no mixing of true feelings. Are you saying that’s right?”
= Putting aside the difference between right and wrong, Doryeong is keeping the manners and manners that a person should have! You’re not keeping it!=
“Well……. Odd. If a superficial attitude creates room for conflict, how can humans be such irrational and inefficient creatures? In the end, even if you are a psychopath who only knows himself on the inside, there will be no problem if you pretend to be polite on the outside, so deception and ridicule are rampant and social order…….”
= No, so the problem is more fundamental…… In conversation, there are basic courtesies that change according to intimacy, and you ruined those courtesies, but why is there a social story…….=
“…….”
Anne, who is trying to discipline something, but is in agony as to whether it is not going well, Hwan-yeon, who furrows her eyebrows cutely as if she doesn’t understand, and the owner, who pretends not to hear while stroking Bi-sang because sparks are flying over her.
Something tickles my chest, and the weight that weighs on my chest gradually disappears.
Suddenly, Isilite noticed that she was smiling, and she burst out laughing.
Que~.
Kurti approaches and rubs her cheek against her body, crying softly. Come to think of it, Kurti kept worrying too, but I didn’t notice that either.
Isilite gave a tearful laugh and stroked Kurti’s head.
‘Okay……. Because I worry and think about various things unlike myself, my movements become sluggish and my limbs become dizzy.’
Let’s just think of one thing rather than thinking that we will definitely win every phrase or that we will sacrifice our lives for the sake of our master.
Every moment I do my best for my master.
Isilite straightened her red rick and her eyes twinkled.
Isilite, who changed her mindset, her movements became smoother and softer to the point where there was a clear difference between before and after.
Most of the heterogeneous species encountered so far were lizards or iguanas, but there were also types such as crocodiles, dinosaur-like heterogeneous species such as raptors, and snakes with legs.
All are heteromorphic species belonging to the order Chordata Reptilian snakes.
Since the intermediate creature classification was the same, the basic body structure was similar, and as a result, the battle patterns were also similar, so as soon as Isilite let go of her tension and burden, she quickly adapts to the battle and easily overwhelms even 4 monsters. Was given
Hwanin notices Isilite’s change…….
「Hwanin. I can feel the energy of the spirit in the ground over there.”
“Is this it?”
“Yes. Under your feet.”
With the help of Hwan-yeon, he went around digging for spirit stones buried in the ground.
Thanks to that, I got 3 canned spirit stones, 2 200g and 1 400g, and one 190g spirit stone from the body of Heo Hyungjong Isilite killed, so I got a total of 4 spirit stones.
“Excluding the canned ones, I caught close to 50 in three days, and I only got one Spirit Stone.”
= Maybe it’s because of the spirit stone, it feels like the phase stone doesn’t come out well. I think I know why Anst and Helumen don’t dare to occupy the Spirit’s Cave.=
“But if the elemental sage comes, I think it will be easy to make money. There are many spirits, so I think I can easily become friends with them. In many ways, isn’t it a labyrinth that is of great merit to the Elementalist?”
=Um… I don’t think so. It must be something special for Hwanyeon to find the spirit stone? And the spirits can only easily see the spirits that have contracted with them, and to see the spirits that are not, you have to open the eyes of the spirits, but this is also very tiring for the eyes.
“Is it.”
=But this is the only place where a low-level job can grab a gold coin in the labyrinth. Maybe that’s why a lot of people gather.
“You’re aiming to make a fortune.”
= Yes. Also, since Gemt Lizard meat is as popular and expensive as it is, they will aim for it.=
Hwanin, who nodded slightly, looked at Isilite’s fight.
Against a crocodile heteromorph with legs as long as a tail, exquisitely control the distribution of phase power and inject phase power into the weapon only when attacking, maximizing attack power. Win the victory
“Your form is coming up properly.”
= Yes. It seems to bring out all the skills even in one-to-many.=
He must have fully adapted to the labyrinth. Together with Hwan-yeon, Hwan-in summoned Isilite, who was examining the topological stone and the spirit stone from the corpse of a heterogeneous long-legged crocodile.
“You seem to have gotten used to the labyrinth now, so let’s go down to the fourth floor. From the next floor, Anne goes out too.”
= Ong. =
=Yes, Master.=
From the 4th floor, the 5th grade anomalies appear. If there are 2 or less, Isilite will fight alone, if there are 3 or more, Anne will take off her excess and quickly tidy up her plan.
“The first few battles are the most dangerous, so focus. I will give you a rule as I look at the situation, so that I can always focus on changing circumstances.”
=Yes.=
=Okay.=
As Hwanin started walking towards the stairs to the 4th floor ahead of her, Anne, who looked at Isilite’s expression, joined her and spoke to her.
= You have a good expression? The form is good too. Did something change your mind?
=…… It must have been because, as the owner said, she relaxed her shoulders. =
Isilite smiled slightly while saying that, although it was dusty from continuous battles, Anne thought that she looked strangely beautiful.
‘Uh~mm.’
Not just now. When she first met her in Farghest…… She was pretty, but she had a bit of a sense of defeat somewhere, or maybe she had low self-esteem.
I had the feeling that she was just a pretty, good-natured girl, a good-natured girl to hang out with, but she started to look pretty enough to make her heart pound at times.
=Hmmm.=
=Why?=
= No. I want to work hard too. =
She herself is diligent in her training and studying her sexuality and sexuality, but the change in her isilite is so great that she feels a little left behind.
“Hwanin said her job was to buy souls, right?”
“For now, it’s the soul.”
“I don’t know what a spirit master is, but is a profession correct?”
“Okay.”
“I heard that if she doesn’t have a light, she is unemployed, but there are exceptions.”
“I will tell you step by step, but now I…….”
Hwan-in walks ahead holding the reins of flight and talks with Hwan-yeon, whose tone has become milder after a few days of persistent training.
Anne, who looked at his back, thought that she would not lose to Isilite, and she walked out side by side with her.
