Chapter 538 – 532 Dark Magician’s Magic Bow
Hwanin, who descended into the labyrinth, first checked the air inside.
I would have been primarily suspicious if there was a peculiar smell mixed in the underground air, but it was just a slightly heavy smell of an ordinary underground cave.
Is it because the water was filled up and sucked out again, sweeping away all the bad elements? It doesn’t smell like anything.
First of all, it was a basement where no light came in, but the clock was not bad. The cave itself emits very faint light, so the outline of the passage like a natural rock cave is not difficult to see.
Buzz buzz buzz-
As the party moves, the sound of stepping on the dry stone dust and sand resonates as it reflects off the angular rock walls of the cave.
Could this be the control power of a transcendent spirit? The labyrinth, which would have been filled with water just a minute ago, feels so dry that it is hard to believe.
As Anne took out her Giant Kite Shield, the Radiant Light, through the passage where she couldn’t even feel the slightest bite, Anne led her forward and spoke in a small voice.
= When it comes to black magic, it smells of rotting meat, herbs, and poisonous herbs, but the air is clean. I can’t even hear the monster.=
“…….”
=Anne’s sister… Did you subdue the black magician… ?=
Similarly, to Baek Ryogang, who asked in a low voice, Anne turned to the cave wall and answered.
= I haven’t tried it. However, I experienced the place where the black magician’s cave was recreated as a religious combat practice. My senior who participated in the black magician subjugation battle said that the recall rate was over 90%, so I don’t think there is any error.=
= You must have implemented all the things you need to keep in mind….=
=Yes.=
Hwanin listened to the small conversations of his girlfriends and focused on the subtle sense of incongruity he felt from a while ago.
I’m also concerned about the feeling that Relais giggles at Anne’s experiences…….
= Doryeong. The corpse of the creature in front.=
In the third room, the corpse of a quadrupedal monster that was neither boiled nor burnt was strewn about a 30-pyeong space, and Hwanin realized what made him feel so uncomfortable.
“Pause for a moment.”
A creature corpse that seemed to be electrified and literally tore the creature from the inside out.
Hwanin, who learned the cause of the sense of incongruity in the point of ‘flowing’, inspected all the walls, ceilings, and floors of the labyrinth with the enhanced spirit vision.
“…… It’s different.”
= Huh? What’s the difference?=
“The flow of magical energy is different from other labyrinths. Even the magic itself feels like something has changed.”
=…… Do you see that in your eyes?=
“The labyrinth is known to be a kind of inorganic life form that grows while feeding on phase power. With my own vision, I can see the unique magical flow flowing faintly along the walls, but this place is different from the labyrinths I’ve visited before. The only thing I can think of is that the mutation was caused by the power of the black magician.”
=…….=
Doryeong’s enhanced soul vision can even see the flow of magical power. If you noticed something strange with your sharp eyes, it’s very likely that it’s true.
Anne and Isilite, who had been quietly listening behind her, looked around the walls and ceiling and tried to figure out what was strange about her with her phase power sensitivity, but they couldn’t feel anything like that in their own senses.
Hwanin, who passed Lill Rice’s admiration that she was having fun, instructed her girlfriends in a slightly lowered voice.
“Anne focuses more on her black magic and trap detection, Issilite goes in front of her and sticks behind her Anne. When an enemy emerges, she tries to kill it from a distance as far as she can before the enemy approaches.”
=Uh.=
=Yes.=
After Hwanin’s instructions, after passing through a rather long passage and passing a room for the third time, a pack of wolves that looked similar to the creatures of the black magician appeared.
Bumps all over the body. Sparse fur, oozing eyes, nose and muzzle. A pale texture unique to this heterogeneous species.
Grrrrr-
Growl—
Four wolves, as big as little bears, roar and drool dripping with a foul smell, revealing their intent to kill the party.
However, as soon as Isilite’s sword of light quickly embroidered the air, Hyungjong Lee’s head fell at the same time.
Anne, who cautiously approached her with her shield erect and inspected her corpse as a sign of the Order, looked back at her ghost and said,
= There was no physical manipulation of the type that caused secondary damage after death, such as a curse. It’s just a corpse.=
“…… Is such a mutation possible?”
=If you are a soft-type black magician, you can turn living things into living pestilence bombs and charge them.=
Recalling the cursed bomb made of a human head, Hwanin looked up at the gloomy ceiling thinking it was a turbulent world.
=By the way, Dolyeong. These guys…… You must have been born after the water receded, right?=
“Okay.”
When I came down to the labyrinth, I first thought that this was the color when I saw the black ceiling and walls of the cave. But it wasn’t like that.
Scratching the floor with the tip of the balance reveals a gray color.
Electricity of an unknown voltage flowed and slightly burned the surface to become this color, and electricity flowed all the way to this place.
However, there are no traces of electricity flowing through their bodies. It means that it is a heterogeneous species that has been regenerated after all the water has drained out.
Anne, who noticed that, let out a groan and glared at the passage leading to the back of the labyrinth.
=Originally, it was a labyrinth where Higher Wolf came out, but the fact that this appeared…….=
“It means that the labyrinth that was mutated at the hands of the black magician is a new heterogeneous species.”
According to the story of the villager of Turad, this labyrinth has about 12 rooms. This is the 4th time, so it means that we are about 1/3 of the way through.
“Keep going.”
Anne and Isilite took the lead first, and Hwanin also followed her while keeping an eye on the labyrinth with her enhanced soul vision.
After going through the passage and crossing the empty room, the party was able to enter a large room the size of a basketball court, where they encountered a pack of wolves again.
In the next room, they found several charred wolves hanging from stone pillars.
In the 8th and 9th rooms, I encountered a pack of 2-4 mutant wolves, and in the 10th room, I could see a large number of wolf corpses gathered together.
Anne, who quickly counted only her head, opened her mouth.
=17. 14 were killed at the entrance of the labyrinth, and 8 wolves were found on the way. A total of thirty-nine…… It was enough power to physically push away the village of Turad.=
=I definitely felt that the heterogeneous species I fought on the way were between 2nd and 3rd grade. If there were 40 monsters like that, it would have been impossible to stop them, considering the power of Turad Village we saw earlier.=
=There was also a curse bomb…….=
Hwanin was still staring at the dark ceiling, listening to the conversation of her girlfriends.
‘That’s strange……. Could it be that the black magician’s power was not enough to mutate the heterogeneous species?’
I was sure that there would be a trap made with black magic, and I had been alert all the time, but I didn’t even see any other heterogeneous species except wolves, let alone traps.
Moreover, it is a labyrinth structure that is almost one-way. They must have confirmed their entry, but it is also suspicious that the black magician did not respond.
‘Did he die from lightning?’
When he turned around at the sound of laughter that sounded like he was having fun, Hwanin’s face was covered with voluptuous water-colored translucent breasts of Relais.
A texture similar to water but warm. And Hwanin, who had been momentarily frozen in a situation where he could see the wall on the other side through his body, took two steps back and opened his mouth to ask.
“Why are you laughing?”
‘I like you. Would you like to sign a contract with me?
“…….”
=…… ?!=
=…… !=
Unlike the surprised women, Hwanin asked again with a face that showed no emotion.
“Why did you laugh?”
She seemed unwilling to tell me so I turned around and this time, Lillice flew softly as if swimming through the air and covered Hwanin with her body.
Then she reached out and touched his cheek and neckline with a delicate touch.
〈Water is the source of life that quietly embraces everything and purifies slowly over time. However, lightning and thunderbolts burn and purify evil and unclean things at once.〉
“…… Does that mean the labyrinth was cleansed by the lightning that I poured into the water?”
“I added lightning to the water. Purification is added to purification, so it is only natural that disgusting and dirty things perish.”
“…….”
Cook Cook, covered his mouth with his hand and laughed. Relais gently wrapped Hwanin’s body with the lower body of a long fish and lightly placed her breasts on his shoulder.
〈Originally, ugly people are not related to me, but you are different. I am very excited to see…… Yeah, it’s so much fun got interested It’s kind of ugly. If you sign a contract with me, it’ll be a little better, right? So, I’ll allow you to make an informal contract with me. Make a contract with me.〉
“Not required.”
= Oh…… !=
= Ah… !=
At Hwanin’s knife-like reply, Anne and Baek Ryogang let out a short sigh of regret, then glanced at Lillice and shut her mouth.
Relais laughed again at that action and wrapped her arms around his neck like a lover and whispered.
“You know why those females react like that?”
Even so, a voice full of faith that he would never refuse to sign a contract with himself.
There are two ways to contract with the spirits. One is the brief contract that Relais said, and the formal contract between Anne and Rumo.
In a formal contract, the initiative is divided between the contractor and the spirit at a ratio of 8:2.
When a formal contractor makes a request or gives an order to the spirit, the spirit does not refuse or refuse in any way. Denials are usually made only for presence-related instructions, such as asking a water spirit to jump into a pit of lava or a fire spirit to enter the sea.
However, the summary contract has no initiative. Even if the contractor makes a legitimate request or instruction, if the spirit is unwilling to do so, it is a summary contract.
For example, this is the method used by an elemental lord who lacks ability to make a contract with a strong elemental. It is to sign a formal contract after increasing affinity by sticking around with a short contract.
For this reason, the mental, physical, and magical parts that the contractor bears in the summary contract are no different from the formal contract.
The problem is that Hwanin has no spirit affinity. At worst, it can become an energy shuttle.
In addition, if it was a transcendent spirit, the physical strength and mental power required to summon and issue orders would be enormous.
If Lilith refuses to reverse summon and wants to continue to be implemented in the present world, there is a future in which Hwanin continues to devote his physical and mental strength and passes out while dying.
Hwanin continued with a cold tone.
“Have you already forgotten what I said the first time?”
〈…….〉
“You are definitely strong. But that’s it. No matter how much you think about it, it’s a loss to travel while catering to your selfish tastes in order to borrow that strength. The contract is not accepted.”
Even if you work hard to please them, you may reject the request because it is annoying, uninteresting, or boring, but if that happens in an emergency, it literally becomes a terrible disaster.
Hwan-in, who had no intention of pouring effort and strength into such uncertainty, pushed Lill Rice away and pointed her girlfriends to the inside of her labyrinth with a regretful expression.
“Keep going. There is a possibility that the black magician is dead, but don’t be vigilant.”
=Yeah.=
=Yes, Master.=
〈…….〉
Due to Hwanin’s unaffected sincerity and ignorance, Relais’ expression changed to that of a high school girl who was upset.
How dare you refuse when I first offered you a contract?!
She also knew that Hwanin would think again if she apologized for what happened earlier and bowed her head, but it is absurd to say that she, a transcendent water spirit who is less than fifty in this world, apologizes first and bows her head.
Relais, who had been watching Hwanin’s back with a face that looked like a high school girl with a frown, was following him with a slightly relaxed face and thought.
It’s a waste to kick it though…….
