Labyrinth Story 573

Chapter 573 – 566 Sijur Great Plains

[Is it…….]

= No. It just doesn’t work. Even though she was far away, goose bumps all over her body. The goosebumps still haven’t subsided.=

[Is it really impossible?]

=Once…… First of all, the senses are ridiculously good. The reflexes are amazing too. As soon as he attacked, he took out dozens of shields and blocked them, but even with the soul-eating demon bullets, he only managed to break three. It’s the evil spirit bullet that was purified by catching evil spirits with holy magic.=

[Hmm…….]

= Aside from its defensive power, its ability to activate magic and spatial awareness is so great that it can respond in an instant. Ambush from behind has more than 70% chance of failure. Even if you succeed, there is no guarantee that you will be able to inflict fatal wounds.=

[…….]

=In addition, the spirit power of the little fairy that the target cherishes is insane. It monitors a minimum radius of 500 m and a maximum radius of 1,500 m. No matter how you get to the outside of 500m…… If you go inside 500m, you will be detected 99% of the time. Even if you break through that 1%, the giant is the problem, and the distraction of the size is sharp enough to kill. It’s at the level where even ants passing by are noticing.=

[…… Well.]

=In conclusion, the target is not something like a kind and docile spirit master. Rather, they are similar to us. The answer is to just give up. My senses are whining that this place, which is 3 km away, is also dangerous. I’m forcing myself to stay out of bed.=

[What if I told you to do it anyway?]

= What…… So what can I do? I have no choice but to run away, grateful for the grace that has raised me until now. =

[Whoa……. I get it.]

= Huh? Are you running away?

[You can’t lose the next generation like this. However, follow-up is required.]

=Yep. Even if I don’t worry, I’m not in a state where I’m going to be interrogated because I’m out of my mind. If you see a gap on the way to return, you will be able to deal with it. Rather…… Do you think you need to retaliate? The information they provided is not correct at all.=

[That’s in the works, so come back after completing the mission and check it out. And…… Never reveal your identity to the target. The meeting will proceed with this dialogue, but the level of no-intervention and non-interference will surely be given. You must not make things entangled with the target.]

= I know. I don’t want to die either, so I’ll be careful.

* *

It was around early dawn when the aura began to bloom from the shaman’s body.

The giants were embarrassed by the incident that occurred in the body of the shaman, but after hearing the explanation of the shaman, they were relieved and dispersed again.

As Hwanin lies down in the middle of the bed where 10 people can lie down, Baek Ryeo-gang takes off her coat and approaches Hwanin in a thin negligee and asks.

= Hwanin. Is it okay if I don’t watch the shaman?=

“The core was completely annihilated within her body. My soul is exhausted from the fight with the core and is asleep, so it will take a few more hours to wake up. Rather…….”

As her phantom gaze turned to herself, Anne, who was sitting cross-legged, tried to scratch her head, but recalled Isilite’s rude remarks, and she replied, putting her hands on her crotch.

= Yul talked about the aura with her sister, but she doesn’t even know her sister. It’s an aura she’s never seen before, she said. Of course I don’t know.=

“Spiritual Trapronen and his knights said they didn’t know, so it might be a pretty rare job. It might be the only job for the giants.”

= It’s not that the only job that appears so easily, but it’s like being a giant, and the doryeong says so, so I’m going to do it again.=

“Done. We’ll do the rest after the sun rises.”

Her Hwanin made that decision and opened her arms toward them. Some hesitantly, some without hesitation, some shyly, and some delightedly embraced him in his arms.

Hwanin thought that this was also good when he saw his girlfriends falling asleep in an instant while being held in his arms and sides like a cat purring.

I always fall asleep only with my girlfriend, who is the last person to have sex with.

‘It wouldn’t be bad to have this kind of time at least one day a week.’

Hwanin thought so and lay down for a while. After confirming that all his girlfriends were asleep, he took out the soul beads of the Argentea Scout Corps that he had collected and turned them into spirits.

Fatigue was relieved and sleep ran away. Rather than lying idle, taking care of a few things in this gap would be a way to save time.

“How…… Something like this…….”
“Ah…….”
“What happens is…… I didn’t want…….”

Six souls were summoned.

They became old in an instant due to the destruction of the spirit muscle and the phase shift, but soon after they became old, Hwanin fell off their necks, so they are the male and female souls who had the appearances of their youth when they were alive.

If the two still alive are interrogated and then executed, the gap between body and soul will be reduced and their souls will become old.

Rather than that, Hwanin’s eyes shone calmly as he saw that all of them were blue souls.

‘Are there many blue spirits among the Fleurs?’

There were quite a few robbers and thieves killed, and there were some professionals among them, but almost all of them had grayish-white souls.

The joiner woman whose name I can’t remember that I killed in the Farghist was also high-class and grey-white.

If you think about it, it might be a characteristic of the Fleurs. The five spirits that Kshanari and Darug brought were also blue.

Hwanin got out of his sleeping girlfriends, sat on the edge of the bed, and used force against the six souls.

‘Kneel down.’

“Kuh…….”
「Huh…….”

The souls of two men and four women kneeling with dark faces and gloomy faces under Hwanin’s force.

Hwanin, with eyes that showed no emotions mixed in front of the six naked genitals, presented them with options to choose from.

‘Even though you guys tried to kill me, I’ll give you the least option as a spirit master.’

One is to make a contract with him and become his tool as a sapphire. The term is maximum, until the day he dies.

The other is to be pierced by a soul arrow and perish.

“Isn’t that an option!”

Hwan-in pierced him with words like an ice spear toward the soul of Fleur, a man who answered as if he was unfair.

‘Then what choice did you guys come to kill me? At this point, I wouldn’t have done anything wrong to the Elwidris family.’

“…….”

At Hwanin’s question, the male Fleur soul shut up.

He also learned the whole story thanks to hearing various stories in Hwanin’s agony while becoming a soul bead.

They were tricked by the Elder. Emperor Seong was not an evil enemy who would destroy the family without a reason. The true enemy of the family was the senate.

“Sorry……. To the Holy Emperor, the stupidity that is worse than Hob’s…….”

Fleur, the man who belatedly reminded of that, bowed his head and apologized.

Others followed the man naked, with their foreheads on the ground, and begged for forgiveness.

Hwanin understood their tendencies at a glance.

To put it mildly, they are energetic young people.

Not only did they develop selfish and individualistic tendencies as they were poisoned by the poison of the earth’s Internet, but they grew up with personalities easy for adults to use in a closed society where information exchange is extremely limited.

To put it badly, it means that you are a stupid person who does not judge the rightness or wrongness of the given information with your own head and just accepts it as it is.

Hwanin stared at the so-called nude female and male fleurs for a while before opening her mouth.

‘Beliefs are different depending on what kind of beliefs they are. If a person who believes everything that comes to his ears as truth has faith, there will be nothing to sow misfortune around him as much as that. You guys are just such people. Idiots who force harm on others without thinking, without a backbone, without realizing the truth or lies of what others say.’

“…….”
“…….”

‘Choose. I will experience the world as my tool, and when the time comes, I will ascend to the garden of the gods, or I will embrace my stupidity and perish without leaving even a speck of soul.’

“…… I will serve the Holy Priest and have a time of repentance.”
「I will faithfully obey the command of the Holy Emperor…….”

Seeing that all six of them agreed without resistance, Hwanin stretched out his hand, his eyes coldly shining.

Hwanin, who had experimented with the souls of the Argentea patrol until dawn, was able to find an appropriate analogy for the souls in a sapphire state.

‘It’s an artificial spirit that can’t use spirit power.’

The jet fighters and wild dog warriors have become demons and cannot communicate with each other.

Although it understands and moves when given instructions, it seems extremely weak in missions that require association and autonomy, as if its intelligence is quite low.

That’s why I tend to use it only for soul magic such as arrows, shields, and explosions, but the effects of even that are corruption and corrosion.

Its power was also very high, so it was difficult to use it to subdue it, so it was a reality that its utilization was low.

However, the Argentea scouting party that turned into sapphire was different.

“Sir Seongjae. As a result of reconnaissance in a radius of 2 km, the number of living animals…… Kind…….”

“At 1082 meters east of the current point, 46 members of the Merianol Council delegation are camping. The number of occupational workers is 25 male and 21 female…….”

“The Beltical delegation constantly complains about how cold and hard it is, and is extremely vulnerable to low temperatures. I am dissatisfied with the current natural environment, but I did not say anything disrespectful towards Seongjenim. It was clear that they were afraid of Holy Emperor.”

If you just give a rough order, it will collect information and return on its own.

‘It contains my personal opinions, but I’ll have to take that into account and filter them out.’

Even so, they are useful.

= Hey, Mr. Seongje. It looks like you finished the sapphire contract last night?=

It’s a perfect scouting party that goes unnoticed even by the spirits, unless it’s the same spirit master.

When Hwanin went outside, he smiled brightly and smiled at the approaching man with cheetah hair.

“Yes. It was more helpful than I thought.”

= Not convenient. Because I can scout from afar. Besides, Seongje-nim’s sapphire contractors are excellent scouting units in their lifetime, so if you use them well, they will be of great help. But don’t forget.=

“I haven’t forgotten that holding too much soul prison can cause contamination of the soul.”

= Yes yes You’re smart and you’ll do well. By the way…… Giants are huge.=

Hwanin read the hidden meaning of Trafronen’s words as he looked up at the motionless sorcerer.

“I think you have something to worry about.”

=A shaman’s aura. I also tried to contact Vimar while I was awake out of curiosity. Didn’t you forget? Director of History.=

“Of course. It seems that even Vimar Spirituality did not know about that aura type.”

= Because it is. It was hard to talk about how excited I was about being a giant worker. But the conclusion was ‘I don’t know’.=

“Considering that my women have never heard of it, it is safe to assume that the envoys do not know anything about it either.”

She walks towards the witch doctor’s head with Trapronen and says that Trapronen agrees with him and nods her head.

= Because it is an unknown job, there is half anticipation and half doubt. As you know, there are a lot of jobs that you can’t expect from combat.=

“I think either way will help the giants settle in. Even if not, her healing arts will be of great help.”

Even a small scratch to a giant is serious enough to expose bones and internal organs by human standards.

Healing such serious injuries with light spells is a technique for treating light wounds among giants, but it is no different from treating serious wounds among humans.

= Well. When you think about it, it looks completely different. Even if you are a non-combatant gatherer, your physical ability is superior to the extent that hundreds of soldiers would laugh at you.

“Yes. After all, he is a giant with a height of nearly 30 m.”

Hwanin is also curious.

The warrior field is at a level that alone can deal with thousands of troops. If you get a melee combat job that makes full use of that body, synergy will occur tremendously.

But on the other hand, wouldn’t the synergy be relatively less if it was a magician type? Because the size of the body has nothing to do with the difference in the amount of phase power possessed.

Whoops—!

= Go away! My friend hasn’t come out yet!!=

…… ! …… !!

= I don’t know difficult words! Good! If you don’t go, I’ll hit you!!

Hearing the giant’s voice with Trapronen, Hwanin turned his head to the side and smiled lightly. Trafronen also giggles.

= They are really likeable friends. =

“I agree. Rather, it seems that the shaman will rise now.”

The movements of the shaman’s soul gradually become active. As she distanced herself from the shaman with Trapronen, she narrowed her eyes and then slowly began to raise herself.

= Whoa. You have really big breasts. How would it feel to go up there…… ?=

At the movement of the shaman’s flowing giant breasts, Trapronen murmured a lecherous sound.

‘It was definitely as soft as a top-of-the-line water bed.’

Hwan-in, who had pretended not to hear his shameful self-talk, raised his voice a little and called the sorcerer.

“Powwow. Are you coming to your senses?”

Immediately at that, the shaman turned his head to Hwanin, and the eyelids of the shaman went up.

And revealing gray-white eyes.

It is the same color as your hair.

‘It wasn’t just the color of my hair that was drowned out by simple pain and infection. Possible changes in the body…….’

=Soul Master.=

Hwanin witnessed the sorcerer’s large hands descending towards him, but stood still in gratitude from her voice.

Then, as if to ask him to come up, the sorcerer puts his palms on the ground and waits.

As Hwanin climbed on top of it, he put his hands together and lightly pressed them to his chest as if he had waited.

Hwanin, who had no intention of being squeezed between her palms and breasts, jumped up and stood on the witch doctor’s chest, and the witch doctor laughed and supported his lower chest with his palms, positioning them so that they could face each other comfortably.

=Envy!=

Ignoring the immature voices from below, I asked the witch doctor who was closer to me.

“Are you feeling okay?”

=Yes. I remember everything from that incident to how Seongje-nim stood by my side, brought all my people out of the labyrinth, and helped me when I was about to give in to Pride.=

“Then I don’t need any further explanation. I’m glad you woke up safely.”

= I tried very hard to wake up. To hear the answer about mating from the Holy Emperor.=

Hwanin was speechless for a moment at the shaman’s laughing answer.

He sure did say that…… I even tried to force myself to listen.

If you say you can’t do it here, how will the shaman react?

He seems to consider himself a lifesaver, so he won’t try to catch mosquitoes, saying he’s too much, but I still feel the need to be careful with my answers.

Hwanin, who had something in mind beforehand, but decided to respond later rather than speak right away, changed the subject.

“Let’s talk about that a little later. It seems like the most urgent thing right now is to figure out what happened to your body.”

= If that’s the case…… Seongje? Do you have any weapons that do not contain your will?=

Could it be that he awakened to his profession and realized how to use his instinctive abilities?

At her request, Hwanin thought about his belongings for a while and took out her knight sword.

Spoils obtained from defeating half-married knights in Farhist’s Prison Labyrinth. It is a long sword with a blade length of 130 cm that has been entrusted to a skilled forge and polished like new.

The shaman stared at the knight’s sword held out by Hwanin, then reached out and touched the knight’s sword with his index finger.

“…… !”

At that simple gesture, the ordinary silver blade wrinkled as if countless intaglios were engraved on the surface, and then turned black in an instant.

It was a knight’s sword that looked like a work of art, but since it has changed so much from day to day, it looks like it could be used for a specific ceremony.

Furthermore, the dark aura of phase power flowing on the surface of the knight’s sword.

‘A magic sword.’

The eyes of Hwanin, who looked at the black knight sword with the eyes of the soul, became heavy.

Shiying—Hwanin, who swung the sword once, could feel the complex abilities from the dark traces left behind by the weapon.

One thing is for sure, it is not a temporary grant of power.

“How did you do this?”

= I bet on the power to aggravate wounds and increase durability. I think I can make it once a week now.=

“…….”

From those words, Hwanin saw through the ability the shaman had acquired.

Her job ability is to recreate the power of the labyrinth that dwells in her belongings when she defeats the Core.

Was it the aftermath of swallowing the soul of the core that acquired such an ability?

Even if you look at the black knight’s sword, it is comparable to the sorcery that Yurpa put all her heart and soul into, and it is not inferior to the power contained in Isilite’s main weapon, Redrick Alter.

If you were to create something like this every week…….

“Are those two the only powers that can be bestowed?”

=It seems that I can arbitrarily adjust and give the weapon three things: durability increase, cutting power increase, and wound aggravation.=

“…… If the grade goes up, the range of things that can be granted can be widened. There is also the possibility that the abilities that can be granted will be diversified.”

If you think about the ability to increase as your job grows, there is a high possibility that what you just said will come true.

If it is not expanded and only the current ability is strengthened, it will be possible to mass-produce weapons worth dozens of gold coins.

=Will this ability help you?=

“Yes. It will be very helpful.”

=That’s great.=

Hwanin felt the inevitable future from the brightly smiling shaman.

‘I must hasten Yurpa.’

In order not to make that future a reality, Yurpa’s help is essential.

Hwanin brought her female friends, Hwanyeon, and even the chief of Trapronene to the place where the shaman was located, and after establishing a thorough soundproofing and listening environment, he connected communication with the great saintess.

“If her abilities are known, there will be not a few groups that will feel threatened by her.”

[According to the Holy Emperor’s words. The ability to mass-produce magic weapons, a by-product of defeating cores…….]

=Is that so great?=

Hwanin explained eye contact to the chief of the lion’s mane who tilted his head, not knowing how great his ability was.

“Infusing a shaman’s power into a two-handed mace used by a chieftain makes it an unbreakable two-handed mace. It’s still a consumable, but its lifespan is ridiculously extended.”

=…… What a great ability!=

[Even so, there is no change in what we have to do. Welcoming the giants as members of our Yeongdo Island, providing them with a place to live, and welcoming them as friends and family.]

The great saintess continued her story with her face completely free of greed.

[We have already started preparing a place to stay when you arrive. However, the intention of the parties is more important than anything. Daeseongnyeo, who gathers everyone’s will and unites them as one in Yeongdo, asks the giants. Do you really want to enter the shadow of zero?]

=Yes. I’ve heard many stories about what can happen when my little soulmate and her go out of the labyrinth. And I made a decision in that story. Our people are simpler and more stupid than we thought, so if we wander around without a shadow, we will be used here and there and scattered, and eventually die one by one and eventually become extinct.=

[I can’t deny it. Your arms will be very attractive and appetizing to those who are interested in power.]

= What is it? I believe in the four little soul friends, and her friend believes in the great saint. So, we will believe in the great saint.=

[To live up to that belief, both the girl and the young do will work together. So, I ask for your cooperation so that the chieftain and the two shamans can persuade the other giants to become a true family. Trapronen Spirituality then.]

=Yes, Daeseongnyeo.=

[Please be careful with the giants when you return. The girl will look forward to the day she meets you in Yeongdo.]

The small talk ended with that. And Hwanin recalled that the great saint was her new beast.

The ability of the profession awakened by the shaman is the power that can raise the power of Yeongdo by three or four times.

If it was the head of a group, it would be an ability she could never turn away from, but the great saintess did not show any greed towards him.

To her, her shaman would be nothing more, nothing less, a member of the race that would become Yeongdo’s new family.

What would she have been like if she had been in the position of a great saint?

‘Through the promise, he must have asked for a weapon to be made at least once a month. Through persuasion that cannot be avoided or turned away.’

=Then…….=

Hwanin, who was thinking, opened his mouth reflexively as soon as the voice of the shaman flowed into his ears.

“Then I’ll go back to work on things I’ve been putting off.”

The shaman’s gaze pierces the nape of his neck, but this is true.
