Chapter 295 – 289 Tyrant Dragon’s Labyrinth
The 4th floor of the tyrannical dragon’s labyrinth.
Hwanin, who was descending to the 4th floor through the whirlwind stairs attached to the wall, suddenly widened his field of vision and let out a small groan at the scene.
Stairs along the wall
A vast floor height that seems to be 70 to 100 m. There are countless holes with a diameter of about 10m here and there among the dense trees, and you can see some of the dark scenery downstairs through them.
The dingy ground with countless large and small holes looked good enough to cause xenophobia, and in fact, Isilite and Anne made faces of disgust.
= Wow, that is hideous. What is that?=
=I can see downstairs through the hole…… I think we should avoid fighting up there. If the ground collapses while fighting, everyone will die if they fall.=
= So…… Something small flies out of the hole.=
=It seems to be a small bird living on the 4th floor.=
Inside the labyrinth like a folding screen with ugly holes and high, long and winding walls between colorful forests.
In addition, Hwan-in, who read the possibility of the appearance of flying heteromorphs in the fact that the ceiling of the labyrinth is very high, asked Hwan-yeon, who was on his shoulder, as he went down the stairs on the wall.
“Are there any heterogeneous species nearby?”
“No. I’ll tell you when I detect it.”
The chance of being attacked at the stair landing is low…….
Even if it was low, there was a possibility that it would fly over that wall. Hwanin urged her girlfriends and Ques to go down the stairs a little faster.
After walking down the stairs for about 20 minutes, Hwanin slightly frowned at the density of the forest in front of him.
“The density of the forest is too high compared to the upper floors.”
= That’s right If that’s enough, Seul Lee won’t be able to wield her weapon properly.=
Compared to the first floor, the number of trees increased by almost twice. If you use a weapon with a long reach, it might get caught in a tree or something.
Considering that even a slight gap could mean the difference between life and death in a battle of 5th grade or higher, it was unreasonable to fight in that forest.
However, Isilite did not care and said with her fighting spirit.
=I have to experience a battle with such limitations. I need a lot of experience.=
= I heard that you are right. Isn’t that a bit too much anyway? The information I bought for 10 silver coins at the Wildcats Guild didn’t say anything like this, and there was no terrain information, so it’s a bit bad.=
“I’m going to go back and think about the claim, and since there’s a little distance between the wall and the tree, let’s move along the wall.”
=Yes.=
=Yes.=
Hwanin put Isilite at the forefront and moved along the gap between the 7m-wide cave wall and the forest, closely examining the ecology of the forest.
‘The atmosphere is like autumn.’
The 1st and 2nd floors were a forest with a feeling of spring. The temperature was adjusted accordingly, and it was quite pleasant, and the trees were moderately mixed with coniferous and broad-leaved trees.
On the third floor, there were more conifers than hardwoods like in summer, and the temperature was high, so even a little movement made me sweat. Vegetation was also similar to summer or jungle.
But even if you pretend to be here, it’s autumn. There are many broad-leaved trees with wider and larger leaves than coniferous trees, and the color is reddish.
The ground was covered with dry leaves, and the temperature was drastically lower than on the third floor, making it the perfect temperature for activities.
“Does each floor have a seasonal concept?”
At Hwanin’s self-talk, Anne nodded her head and accepted the conversation.
= The 1st and 2nd floors were spring, and the 3rd floor was summer, right? The 4th floor is completely autumn forest scenery, so the 5th floor is going to be winter.
= I couldn’t prepare for the winter, but what should I do…….=
= Didn’t Yul’s unnie bring a warming plate? I think I saw you put it in. =
=Not us, but the owner.=
=Ah.=
Maybe it’s because I caught a cold once. It was when I tried to speak out because I thought their worries were a little too much.
Coo?
Bi-sang sticks her head out and raises her tail feathers while looking at her north.
Kihehehehe…… !!
Kweee…… !!
Koo Goo Palace, Kwa Kwang. Hard…… Wow…… !
Right after that, along with the roar of the two, a faint roar of battle began to be heard as if echoing from beyond the wall.
Hwan-yeon shook his head so much that his black hair fluttered at Hwan-in who was staring at him.
“No. It’s a battle that takes place outside my detection range.”
The detecting range of the fantasy spirit is about 500m. Nodding his head, Hwanin stopped the party and listened to the sound of the battle.
Pudduck, pudduk……. Kwagwawang, Quadd…… Kugung.
Kiririt…… !
Aww, wow, wow…… !
‘… The sound of flapping wings. The sound of quadrupedal walking, the sound of trees breaking and falling…….’
Each sound has its own weight and timbre. The number is two. Judging by the heaviness of the voices heard, both of them are judged to be of the Urger class.
One is a quadrupedal walking type, and the other is a winged flywheel type.
But it’s not about fighting people. There is no sound of clashing weapons.
‘Your current location is number 41 on the map. The direction the sound is coming from is at least 500m away, north-northeast, so it must be near number 30.’
Although the sound echoes off the walls and echoes, it is not difficult to detect its location.
“Even heterogeneous species in the same labyrinth sometimes fight.”
=Isn’t another party fighting?=
“I can’t hear weapons colliding with each other, nor human voices. It’s unlikely that another party is in battle.”
= Huh? …… I heard that. =
To prepare for her case, Isilite, who took out a knight’s sword from Kurti’s luggage and put it around her waist, asked Hwanin.
= Master. Can’t we go to the place where the fight is going on? I think it would be helpful to see the fight between heterogeneous species.=
=The strength will be similar to those from the 4th floor of the Prison Labyrinth, but the first battle is always the most dangerous, so it will be very helpful in estimating your strength.=
“It is. Move Fantastic, tell me immediately if a heteromorph appears within the detection range.”
“Yes.”
Hwanin, who was moving to the place where the sound of fighting was heard, spent a little time avoiding the holes that were opened like the pupils of the abyss, but he was able to reach the area before the fight was over.
Kugoong, cuirureu-!!
Gyaaaaagh~!!
Bang, Kwajijik! Enemy!
What I saw there was a long-legged crocodile-like creature resembling Postosuchus among dinosaurs, and a rather nimble creature with a pair of huge white wings like a griffin, but with a dinosaur’s head, struggling to kill each other.
Kwyaaaaa-!!
Squeeze-!
In battle, the winged side had the upper hand.
The long-legged crocodile-type heterogeneous species had its entire body scratched and covered in blood, but the white wings covered with white feathers suffered little damage.
At first, the compatibility was bad.
The main attack of the long-legged crocodile is bite, while the winged one has vicious claws on its forelimbs as thick as an adult’s forearm, and its teeth are as sharp as its claws.
As for the means of attack, the wing side is diverse, and the wing side is superior in mobility, and the weight class is similar, so it is a natural result.
‘Is that a dragon too? It seems that the characteristics of birds and reptiles are half and half mixed.’
While Hwanin infers the form of white wings, body specifications, and attack method according to the shape of the body, the two keep a distance and spin around the empty field to check each other’s attacks.
Kwyeh-!
Pooh-!
The long-legged crocodile, which had painted its surroundings with its own blood, opened its mouth and spewed flames like a flamethrower in response to the menacing roar of its white wings.
Straight, straight flames spewing out from a body the size of a 1-ton truck.
The white wing side performed aerial acrobatics to avoid the flames that followed it like a whip, and then, with a gasp, groaned, it landed like lightning at the long-legged crocodile, which stopped spraying fire.
Kwagwawang!!
Kwiyiik-!!
Guaaaaa-!
The long-legged crocodile, caught by the neck in an instant, struggles, kicks the white wings with its hind feet and strikes them with its tail, but the white wings do not budge after driving eight claws like super-large hooks into the long-legged crocodile’s neck.
Anne muttered, hiding behind a tree to watch her battle.
=That white winged thing, it seems to be a body strengthening characteristic.=
= Yes. The one that looks like a crocodile also has body enhancement, but it also has a fire property, so the level is relatively low.=
Kek, kek, kek! Sigh…… !
Crunchy, crunchy….
The sound of neck bones being dislocated and clawed flesh being torn apart is terrifying.
I wanted the battle to end like this, but the crocodile didn’t give up and spewed fire from its snout.
If the fire that was emitted a while ago was a wave, this time it is at the level of a wave.
The flames, which are not enough to be called breath, burn oxygen and pour down on the white wings, but what is surprising is that the white wings meet the flames and dig into the long-legged crocodile’s neck with the claws on its forepaws and tear it apart. It was
As a matter of fact, the white feathers exposed to the flames gradually turn black, but they do not appear to be seriously damaged by the fire.
Qui-hik, Kihehe-!!
The long-legged crocodile’s neck, where the flesh was deeply dented, was tender, and fire began to leak as it tore the flesh there.
Then, along with a popping sound, the long-legged crocodile’s nostrils, eyes, mouth, and claws were stamped, and it spewed flames from all over the punctured neck.
Maybe it was because he jumped with all his weight while holding his neck. It was torn open from the neck to the chest, exposing the beating heart and blood gushing out like a fountain.
Chiyiik-!
The blood evaporates in the hot heat, creating a red mist, and there is no such thing as a big fight as you struggle and rise to the dust.
Only then did the white wings release the long-legged crocodile, take a step back, and watch the scene loftily. After a while, as soon as the movement of the long-legged crocodile stopped moving, the white wing spread its wings wide and raised its head high, and it was like, “Ahh!” Let out a victory roar
‘It’s a feather with exceptionally high resistance to fire.’
The color is slightly darkened, but the shape is intact. If the flame retardant effect is as good as mine, it would be okay to use it as a material.
“Isilite.”
=Yes.=
It was then that Isilite stepped out, pulling out her red rick.
The area around there is a state where two gigantic heteromorphic species the size of trucks are rampaging and turning it into an empty lot. The floor was littered with tree debris and started to catch fire from the fire of the long-legged crocodile, but it is a stage that is easier to fight than in the forest.
Call.
Her white wings jerk her head towards the suddenly appearing Isilite and glar at her eyes, but Isilite too unleashes her strong fighting spirit and grabs a red rick taller than her own height with her two hands. Clasped with both of her hands to position her.
Right before the second match.
Her phantom moved to her parched forest and saw the flames gradually increasing in size, and moved the phantom on her shoulder to the head of her flight, she said.
“Enjoyment. Can you ask the fire spirit to put out the fire so it doesn’t spread?”
“I’ll try.”
“Please.”
Smiling at Hwanin’s request, Hwanyeon looked around and waved her hand at the empty space, saying, “Come here. Help me.」 I started calling someone.
It was a questionable Hwan-in, but kwa-gwak, ka-a-ang!! I turned my gaze to the sound of Isilite and the white wings starting a battle in earnest.
Kaaaaa-!!
Once collided, the pair of white wings, each as large as the body, open wide and inflate in size, threatening Isilite.
A white wing that makes a run-up with its hind feet and at the same time attempts to claw with its front claws.
At the slightest snag, the flesh would tear and the vicious claws would cut through the air and pierce the entrails. The elongated muzzle seems to be preparing to bite after that.
It’s a two-step attack with incredible power, but if it were you, you would have burrowed under your stomach to avoid being scratched, and at the same time attacking the abdomen, which is a weak point for any creature.
Due to the nature of jumping, immediate evasion maneuvers would be difficult.
But Isilite, with her terrifying power, struck her white-winged foreleg like lightning, deflected her attack, and swung her Red Rick three times in an instant toward her exposed side.
Bump!!
Hitting down, pulling and slashing at the same time, followed by a horizontal slash.
Rather than a great sword, the sound of blows that seemed to be struck by her club exploded one after another, and the white wings hurriedly retreated while exhaling a rough breath.
No stab wounds occurred, probably because the leather was tough and the feathers covering most of the body from the head alleviated the impact.
But in her Hwanin’s eyes, she could see the broken bones in her side.
The light of disbelief shines in the two yellow eyes of the white wings. It seems that he didn’t expect such a small and weak-looking guy to give such a strong impact.
Could it be that he is a heterogeneous species with no experience fighting a party that has reached the 4th floor?
Lack of experience soon shows up as immature skills.
In a fight between heterogeneous species, experience won’t be a big problem as physical specs account for the majority of the win rate, but if Isilite is the opponent, that will soon become a huge weakness.
Kwiyiak!!
The white wings, which were wary of little Isilite and threatened her by pulling out her neck, tried to fly away, but they chose the worst possible move.
=Suck!=
As if she had been waiting for it, Isilite dashed forward and pretended to attack by blocking the vision of the white wings with her greatsword, causing confusion.
Startled by that momentum, while the white wings stopped flapping in surprise, Issilite grabbed the feathers of the white wings with a very familiar movement and climbed onto its back.
It was a way to fight against winged creatures that he had learned by sparring dozens or hundreds of times with emergency.
Quihiik!? Kkureurreuk-!!
The white wings caught on her back burst into tears of bewilderment and rage, and instead of taking off, she twists her whole body and runs wildly to shake Isilite off.
Issilite tightened the sides of the white wings with her thighs and began to mercilessly strike down the long neck of the white wings with Redrick’s hilt, a simple yet effective attack.
Knock, Knock. Quick!
From the back of the white wings that sway like crazy up and down, from the back to the long, thick neck and neck bone covered by the white feathers, Isilite intensively strikes at one point.
“Did fighting the emergency help?”
Couw…….
It was at that moment that Bi-sang shrank her neck in a stunned look, as if she had projected herself onto the bursting white wings of a one-sided win.
Kyaelyalyalyak-!!
In a situation where she could not resist and was only beaten, her white wings rushed towards Hwanin and Anne, and the Que who were huddled behind them, emitting blood that made her skin tingle.
It was a case of being slapped in the east and taking out anger in the west, but no reason remained in the white wings’ heads that were engulfed in rage.
Anger and hatred, as if any living being would have to be torn to pieces to relieve resentment.
Anne erected a shield on the castle wall to block the way, and her illusion was about to change the trajectory of her charge by launching soul arrows and six panels.
=Suck!!=
Isilite grabs the neck feathers of her white wings with one hand and pulls them tight. Then, the direction of the charge of the white wings with their necks bent to one side turned to that direction.
Kwakwang!!
Avoiding Hwanin and his party, he threw it into the ground next to it and stuck it.
The white wings, which staggered and raised themselves in the midst of a cloud of dust rising, realized that a nasty little guy had fallen on their backs and spread their wings wide.
Anger burns like a fire. It’s not enough that you dare to climb on his own back and hit him on the neck, I’ll tear that little fellow of mine to shreds in the sky!!
It was at that moment that Isilite fell and hit her Red Rick down.
Kwajik!!
Qui Hek…… !!
Redrick, who had added phase power and strength to his falling speed, struck down the spine of the white wing in a neat semicircle.
Although she had wings, her body shape was close to that of a beast, and her white wings, which had a narrow rear vision angle, did not see Isilite, who jumped and jumped right before crashing to the ground.
The white wings, whose backbone was bent at an odd angle by the blow of the cast iron that seemed to be wrapped in blue mist, forgot the accident in the agony and struggled only with their forelimbs, vomiting out sounds as if their lungs were being squeezed.
The two pupils crossed each other and could not be focused, and white foam came up from the open snout and moistened the ground.
Redrick fell again with phase power above the head of those white wings.
Quick!! Kwap! Kwagak!!
Twice, three times, each time Redrick was struck like an ax for chopping firewood, a terrifying rupture erupted, and the white wings squirmed and fluttered.
=Whoops.=
Isilite shook her head once, shaking off the sweat and letting out her sigh.
Her experience of flying and sparring was very helpful. Otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to stop her soaring and her battle would have been sluggish. The owner may have stepped out again.
Approaching Isilite, who boasted that it was her own clean battle, Anne trimmed her tousled brown hair and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her handkerchief, she said.
= You got it neatly without any damage. =
=It was thanks to the emergency.=
Isilite smiled brightly at Anne’s death, wiping the sweat from her forehead and wiping off the grayish-white substance on her blade and her feathers with a cloth, then looked back at her visionary who had come closer to her.
=Lord.=
“I can definitely feel that I have become more proficient than in the prison labyrinth. Good job.”
= Thank you. I think it was easier than Hyungjong Lee who fought on the 4th floor of the prison labyrinth.=
“There is not much difference between the heteromorphic species there and their strength. If it felt easy, it must mean that you have grown up since then.”
So Isilite could not say or think anything for a moment, as if her pink heart arrow had been hit in her heart by her hand stroking her head.
She deserves unexpected compliments and stroking.
She says sometimes when her training is over, she’s nothing more than a compliment. But why, now… Why does it make my heart pound and feel so sweet? What is the difference between then and now?
While Isilite was standing in a daze, Anne, who took her fantasies and checked the existence of her Phase Stone and Spirit Stone, said.
=Doryeong, both the phase stone and the spirit stone are missing.=
“Is it. Then, pluck the feathers from the white wings and take them with you.”
= Huh? Why is that?=
“A very strong feather against fire and slashing. If you show it to Yurpa and process it into armor or a coat, maybe something useful will come out.”
= Oh, I see. You were fine with the flame breath earlier, right?=
It was when Hwanin and Anne took a step towards the white wing where her head was smashed and died.
Flash-
All of a sudden, Isilite’s radiance shone strongly and began to grow in momentum.
The transparent aura whirled like a storm and wrapped around Isilite’s body.
Sensing the storm of powerful phase power, Anne looked back at her startled and tugged at her as she tugged at her Hwanin’s arm.
=Hul, doryongdoryeong!=
“Well? …… Is that the sight of growing up to level 5?”
Hwanin, who belatedly looked back, closed his eyes and stared at Issilite and the phenomenon happening around her.
= No! That’s a rare job awakening phenomenon! Wow, I never thought the day would come when I could see that with my own two eyes!
…… A rare job?
