Chapter 341 – 335 2nd Entry to the Labyrinth of the Spawning Pond
“I will rest here for a while before entering.”
Fluff, fluff.
After moving to the alarm for 3 hours and arriving at the entrance of the labyrinth, Hwanin’s declaration made Siela, the magician, and Yuti, the blue magician, sit down and gasp for breath.
= Whoa, school! Mandible !=
= Heh, heh heh, heh heh…. Heck.=
Seeing the two women panting as if they were about to die with their entire bodies drenched in sweat, Romdis put down her load and helped her lover, Ciela, and Yuti, who was now together, and said,
= If you lie down, it will be more difficult later. Stand up and walk a bit.=
= Not…… Okay…. I die… Seems…… Whoops.=
Lomdis = Palma, who saw her lover, who had been swaying under her touch like a doll with a thread cut, collapsed again, put on a troubled expression.
Even though he and Rektal carried all the luggage from the middle, it was like this.
Still, Ciela’s condition is better because she has been traveling with him for a long time. Uti gasps because she passed out.
He turned his head and looked at Hwanin, who was looking at the map with the 10kg bag still on his back.
There was a bit of sweat on his forehead, but he looked fine. I took a 10-minute break every 30 minutes, but the fact that a job system without a physical ability enhancement bonus trained the body to that extent…….
‘Is he also from a military background?’
A Mu-in who trains his body and polishes his skills every day. If you are from such a background, it explains that you are the teacher of the spirit knights and that you are fine even for such a long distance run.
Then, seeing that the saint’s gaze passed over him, Ciela, and Yuti once, he briefly blamed himself inside her and grabbed Ciela’s shoulders and shook them.
= Sheila. I’d rather use a cure.=
= Uh, huh? On this… ?=
= Uti passed out. I have to enter the labyrinth soon, but in this state, it is difficult to find my condition.=
= Ah… Yes.=
You can’t leave behind a pathetic party image that can’t even distribute and manage stamina.
Ciela’s heart was beating strangely and her heart ached, but she tried to focus her mind and applied her healing technique to herself first and then to Yuti, who was sweating cold with her face pale.
= Uh…….=
=Are you conscious?=
=…… Oh, thank you… Whoa. I guess I’ll live now…….=
Yuti, who regained consciousness after receiving her healing technique, thanked Ciela first and then bowed her head to Rom Dis, her party leader.
=Thank you, Mr. Romdis.=
= No. We are now the same support staff of the Holy Son’s party, so let’s do our best together.=
=Yes.=
It would have been nice if he had taken care of his colleagues before paying attention. It would be unreasonable to expect it to move quickly to that point.
Hwanin only rolled up the map and opened his mouth after watching Romdis organize the party.
“Okay, let’s go. In the ranks, Anne and Isilite are in the front line, and Miss Ciella and I are in the middle line. It’s Mr. Romdis’s party and flight in the back row.”
=Yes.=
=Yes.=
=Yes.=
After hearing everyone’s answers, the labyrinth of spawning ponds, which the party entered again, was exactly the same route as the first entry.
Is that why? As soon as the blue fog disappeared, my eyes opened wide, and the decaying corpses of heteromorphic species of frogs appeared first with a foul smell.
=Uh.=
Romdis followed the party, looked at the dozen or so large heteromorphic corpses lined up to the left and right, and let out a short saliva.
This is a level that requires adding 0.5 grades to the existing one.
As I passed by, I poked with the scabbard and felt the hard, tough leather. I think it could be seen as level 2.5 or level 3.
“This time, go left.”
Following the saint’s remarks and the party turning left, Romdis asked Rektal.
= Lectal. Traces of that battle just now, how do you see it?=
=…… He defeated them all in one battle in one place. It’s a sign of two people. Traces broken by blows and traces cut with sharp objects.=
= The former must be the Holy Fighter. The latter must be Geomhee.=
= I didn’t deal with them one by one, but I took down two of them in one blow. The class is different from us.=
Rommys felt his fists sweat slightly from his anticipation and tension. So he whispered in a very low voice so as not to disturb.
=Rektal, Ciella. This labyrinth is an opportunity to serve as another indicator for us. Let’s not relax and learn everything we can learn by watching the saint’s every move.
=Um.=
=Yes.=
After a while, Romdis’ expectation was realized in a way beyond imagination.
As soon as I passed through the dark and gloomy forest and the narrow trail-like path, nine large frogs popped out from a place where living trees were tangled together to form a cave.
= Sheila! Who is?!=
=Nobody got caught!=
=Okay!=
As soon as the battle started, Seongtusa-nim and Geomhee-nim jumped out like lightning without much conversation, and in a few breaths, nine large carriage-sized frog heteromorphs were slaughtered.
Overwhelming violence that renders tactics and strategies meaningless.
Each time the Giant Warhammer struck down, one frog heteromorphic species was shattered, and each time the Greatsword of Light crossed the air, two frog heteromorphic species were cut in half, scattering blood and intestines in the air.
Coo!
“A company is coming from the west! Miss Siela, prepare for life force detection.”
= Yes? Fournet!=
What? Hyungjong Lee is coming again?
Romdis opened his ears and listened. Then, very faint signs began to be heard.
Did he notice a small sound that he could barely understand even if he concentrated his mind before he did at this distance?
Romdis shuddered at the group of 11 giant frogs that appeared after a while.
When the nine had just appeared, Romdis thought he had run into a little monster room. But it’s 11.
Behind him he encountered 16, then 14.
= A lot of monsters are coming from the outskirts. Is there a large spawning pond nearby?=
“It’s very likely, so be careful.”
=Yes.=
Rommys felt the cotton feathers on the nape of his neck stand up as he realized that the sight of the spirit knights fighting again was normal.
=What is this crazy labyrinth?=
Why is Hyungjong Lee coming to the monster room level?
Anne, who had just swept away her heteromorphic species and returned, heard her talking to herself and said with a smile.
= What do you do with this much? If you go deeper, 40 or 50 will come out.=
=…… Yes?=
=Just before we came out the other day, a spawning pond the size of a lake came out, and there were over 100 of them.=
Romdis, who was lost for a moment, managed to catch his spirit and asked.
=That, isn’t that enough for the size of the army to be mobilized? You said that the three of you cleaned up half of this place?=
=Not half.=
Anne smiled and went back to the ranks, and Romdis kept thinking that they weren’t the place to come to accept the request.
The idea came true shortly thereafter.
“Anne! Nine are coming from the northwest direction on the left!”
=Yes!!=
Kwakwawang! Beep-!!
“Two poison arrow frogs on the right! Emergency!=
Coo!
Qurrrr-!
“Isilite, Anne! 13 more will be added to the front of Sai!”
=Yes!=
=Huh!=
Seeing- Chow-!
Kugoong-! Koo Goo Goo!!
A continuous battle taking place near the spawning pond, in a corner of the field of vision covered by a hazy fog.
Romdis’ party couldn’t close their gaping mouths.
At first, I started fighting with 13 of them, but as if I was attracted by the sound, 7 to 21 heteromorphs kept coming.
Super-large monsters full of blinding sight. As the sword of light pierces the air, blood and organs soar like a fountain.
Every time a thump, thump, vibration, and roar reverberates, the flesh and limbs of the smashed heteromorphs are scattered in all directions, and the cries of frogs and intermittent green explosions and explosions reverberate through the gaps, and flashes of light flash.
Whenever the Holy Son’s command is heard, the spirit knights jump into the place where dozens of deformed species are gathered without any fear and brandish their weapons.
3 people fighting dozens of them, a scene that could be called a war rather than a battle.
As a result, Hyungjong Lee could not even guess the pulse and became a lump of meat and was being swept away in all directions.
It wasn’t just the spirit knights who were strong.
“Emergency. It is over there.”
Kyup!
Puppy-
“Use Wind Blast where Isilite passes. …… Now.”
Beep!
Perbung – Cheerala rock!!
Could it be because of the green Queer, which is classified as a 5th-class Holy Beast? As if understanding the saint’s story, Romdis greatly admires the way the saint shoots wind blades and arrows of wind precisely whenever he gives instructions.
= That’s great! It’s a level that surpasses a level 5 green magician!=
The power is already at a level that surpasses that of a 5th-level green magician, and the speed of casting spells and accuracy are better than any green magician he has ever seen.
To train such a great Que like that, since it’s a green Que, of course it can fly, right? Then the saint will ride that Que and fly through the sky…….
= Ha. I envy the green Que more than anything else.=
Even Rektal, who normally doesn’t speak more than five words a day, was literally artistic in attacking Lee Hyeong-jong with the Holy Son to the extent that he said something tinged with envy.
How fun it would be to travel the world with such a Que.
At that time, the toad, with spikes protruding from its snout, suddenly exploded.
The sword of light didn’t even fly away, what is it?
Every time you enter a battle, six swords of light rise around you.
And when the sword flies at the gesture of the saint, the giant frog’s head will pierce through or explode from the inside, leaving it in tatters like a rag.
Romdis and his party couldn’t even guess what kind of attack Hwanin was attacking.
It did, but just then it suddenly exploded without any sign. Whose skill is it? Perhaps it is the Holy Son’s innate ability?
Kugung. Dududuk. Doo doo doo-
=Uh, uh.=
= Wait, wait. Hyungjong Lee Isn’t it too crowded!? Also, I need help…… !=
Uti, who was quietly watching the battle from behind, is surprised and restless when she sees a group of heterogeneous species suddenly flocking from three directions.
About 60 water mirrors were gathered from the land on the left, the land on the right, and in the water toward the saint’s party.
It was around the time that Ciella and Rektal both opened their eyes wide and thought whether they should contribute their strength. Suddenly, a wave of intense gray-white light burst out centering on the Holy Son.
A wave of light that is so thick and distinct that it cannot be compared to the waves of ordinary soul masters.
Romdis Party widened their eyes at the ensuing phenomenon.
The heterogeneous species caught up in the wave of tranquility did not rush forward, but hesitated as if caught in confusion, colliding and getting entangled among themselves, creating a congestion.
Seeing that, Ciela stuttered and said.
=D, I’ve heard of it. The powerful waves of tranquility bring great peace and stability to people, but they say that it rather stirs up confusion for heteromorphic species and monsters…….=
There is no such thing as a soul master fighting a heterogeneous species or a monster.
Even if there is a fight, the spirit knight who protects and escorts the spirit master fights, and the soul master does not directly step forward.
Because of this, there were only rumors about how the waves of tranquility acted on Lee Hyeong-jong, but I can’t believe the rumors were real.
It was then. The moment the saint raised his hand.
Kwagwagwagwang!!! Wow, Kwagwawang! Quagwagua light…… !!
In the empty air, more than twenty explosions strong enough to make her feathers tremble, covering the crowd of heteromorphic species, made Ciella wince. She involuntarily took a step back.
Cuppy-It!!
In addition, when the green Que spreads its green wings, which are more than 5m in length, the air gathers at the place where heteromorphic species are gathered…….
Wow-!!!
It caused a great explosion with a great roar.
Land and spray shattering like a volcanic eruption. Due to the explosion, Suung-Gipa wrapped in dust and hit the surroundings, so Romdis and his party, who hurriedly raised their arms and covered their eyes, gasped at the sight that was revealed.
Half of the 60 or so were either dead or seriously injured, and Lee Hyeong-jong, who had escaped from the explosion, was again confused by the shock and biting and bumping into each other.
Romdis stared blankly at the ensuing scene.
=Haaaaap-!!=
Geomhee-nim, holding a 10m-long greatsword with both hands, fell down into a group of heterogeneous species in confusion.
Every time the half moon is drawn in the air, the monsters are cut into pieces. Booung – Let the sword of light fly like a boomerang, and a spray of blood sprays out from the monsters on the way and paints the area.
Geomhee-nim, holding a beautiful red greatsword, slaughter the surviving heterogeneous species.
In the meantime, if you asked if Seongtusa-nim was playing, it wasn’t.
Some of the giant frogs, feeling threatened by the Saint’s bombardment, the waves of tranquility, and the green Que’s large-scale pincer attack, rushed in, and the Saint Fighter blocked them all with the hammer of punishment burning with phase power like a torch and a giant tower shield like a castle wall. He was holding on to all the heterogeneous species that were heading towards the Holy Son while attracting aggro.
In the meantime, Geomhee-nim, who has cleaned up all the sides, flies in again and sweeps away Lee Hyeong-jong, who is a crying adult because he can’t overcome Seongtusa-nim.
‘This is the battle of the hero class party…… !’
If Homen was still alive, he would have been able to somehow defeat 20 of the 2nd to 4th grade heteromorphs.
They can fly and attack from the sky, but they have no means of ranged attack except for the spitting toad.
However, the spirit knight and the holy man dutifully attacked Hyungjong Lee head-on from the ground and broke it.
Yeah, that’s a real battle. What they have been doing so far is not a battle, but just a hunt, a one-sided attack.
Because of this, Romdis and Rektal felt the warrior’s blood boiling hot.
I want to fight there too. I want to show off my skills and fight alongside those heroes…… !
It is a feeling that any professional with a sense of improvement can relate to.
But the two couldn’t get out. At first glance, it looks like they are fighting in an orderly manner, but they are fighting in unison with the invisible, organic solidarity of the three saints – saint warriors – geomhee.
Even if they intervene there, it will only interfere and cause a crisis.
= Oh! Seongtusa-sama, Geomhee-sama! We will do the phase stone detection!!=
=Yes, leave it to us!=
After the battle is over and the confirmed killing of Hyungjong Lee is over, Romdis and the others run in a hurry when they see Isilite and Anne moving with phase stone detection tools.
I can’t just play still in the yard where I have to look good. I should do something like this
= Well. Dolyeong, what do you do?=
“If they want to do it, I’d be fine with it.”
Since he wasn’t the type to steal the phase stone secretly, you could leave it to him to search for the phase stone. Hwanin, who made that decision, looked around the corpse-filled surroundings with sunken eyes.
‘Since the spawning pond is the size of a lake, I thought there might be a heterogeneous species that swallowed people.’
Even though close to 120 were sorted out, the heterogeneous species that swallowed people did not appear. The spawning pond is wide, but is it because it is at the edge of the labyrinth?
Of course, not all spawning ponds are visible. Beyond the hazy mist, spawning ponds continue.
= Doryeong. There is no one? =
To Anne’s question as she wiped away her flesh and blood from her weapon, shield, and armor, Hwanin replied by filling her and Isilite with energy.
“Okay. I asked you to let me know if you found it, but there is no word, so there must be nothing.”
= Eh…. Didn’t even have a soul?=
“Well.”
In the past five days, I had never seen a human soul wandering around the edge of the labyrinth.
At the time, I thought it was like that and moved on.
He thought that since he had suffered a terrible thing, he could remain as a soul because of his strong resentment at the time of his death, but since he was born in a labyrinth in an uninhabited place, he could not hope for salvation, so he could have attained Buddhahood himself.
Other than that, I didn’t think deeply about it for one reason or another, that most of the people who were dragged were still alive, that they weren’t there because they were at the edge of the labyrinth, or that their souls were captured by the labyrinth.
“Ms. Ciela will tell you when you find it, so until then, focus on the battle.”
=Okay.=
Romdis’s party, each carrying a phasestone detection tool, searches for phasestones, and Isilite and Anne protect them in case of an unexpected attack.
After looking at them for a while, Hwanin opened the map and started drawing the battle area.
The reason why he turned left instead of continuing the attack from the second position was to check the accumulation of the labyrinth he had calculated and to calculate the total area of the labyrinth.
If the scale is calculated according to the calculation, the outer wall dividing the labyrinth will appear if you go west as much as you have moved so far.
Then, the labyrinth attack is almost finished.
Hwanin, who drew a map, folded it and put it in his bosom, looked out over the labyrinth covered in mist and thought.
‘What is at the end of the labyrinth?’
Hwanin had asked Romdis at a friendly dinner yesterday. He asked if he had any experience in attacking the labyrinth.
As a result, they were able to hear the answer that they had no experience in attacking the labyrinth and did not know what was at the end of the labyrinth.
It’s just a rumor that if you break through the labyrinth and attack, you will gain wealth and honor.
If it was that story, I had heard it from Anne.
“…….”
Rumors do not spread either because the rumors are very dangerous or because they are so valuable that they are controlled from above.
It can be inferred that the information about the labyrinth attack is not circulating because the labyrinth attack is dangerous and the reward is great…….
‘The question was that there were no stories of easy-to-reach 1st or 2nd class labyrinths.’
I had seen a level 2 labyrinth in Owling, so it doesn’t mean that labyrinths below level 2 didn’t exist. If so, the hypothesis that politicians are deliberately controlling information gains strength.
In this world, labyrinths and history coexist, but even without information, there can be no such thing as non-existence.
Hwanin, who was staring through the fog thinking about the labyrinth, saw Sierra running panting, and she raised her head toward it.
=Seo, saint! Human life force is being detected in the water, in the water!=
Hwanin, who walked to the place where Siela discovered it, turned on the spirit vision, but the spawning pond still only looks red.
“Which direction is it?”
=It’s about 130m in that direction!=
The place Ciela pointed to was also the same. The color system of the spawning pond is so deep that the depth of the water cannot be grasped properly.
‘I thought there might be a heteromorph hiding in the water,’ she said.
Until this point, she wasn’t worth checking out, so I let her go, but now I can’t leave her alone.
Why have I only seen one heterogeneous species with a human inside? Of course, the things that put people inside must be because they deliberately avoided fighting for breeding.
Thinking that Hwanin was a little bothered, he called in Bisang and Uti.
