Chapter 612 – 605 Labyrinth – Old Castle
The overall shape of the second floor is a huge hollow without even a single stone pillar.
And the 4th floor, Goseong, was buried in the wall of the 2nd floor, and only part of it was exposed.
Part of the castle wall, part of the spire, part of the castle window and part of the watchtower were exposed and embedded in the wall.
The entrance to the old castle on the 4th floor is a wide open gate in the castle wall.
A disturbing atmosphere flowed within the party, but since he was only going to return after a short exploration, Hwanin didn’t care much (of course, he was careful not to cause an accident) and moved toward the open front door.
While the footsteps of four people and one animal echoed through the quiet plaza, whispers from behind reached Hwanin’s ears.
= The twin wings of that party. Aren’t you the bastard from Evrad Academy?=
=… Really? Why is that bastard stuck there?=
=Looking at the outfit, something must have happened.=
= From a few months ago, there were rumors that Count Feldricks was coming tomorrow. Became a slave because the family was ruined.=
= Kwk kwk. It would be really nice.=
There was obvious malice mingled with the giggling.
He must have heard it, but Ri-min doesn’t care and follows Hwan-in. It was rather unpleasant to feel bad about the back talk.
When she stops her steps and looks back, the people who were whispering, uhm, gurgling, clear their mouths or look away.
Isilite watched her snowball fight with her others and said how nice she was, sighing inwardly.
= Did you want to do that even after hearing that? =
= Huh? Ah… That’s embarrassing, but at least he said it openly in front of us. I hate secretly swearing behind my back.=
That little boy has the cuteness that he will bear the disadvantages caused by his remarks, but he hates those who hide behind him and peel pumpkin seeds.
=But only for that, it’s true-based slander, so it’s self-inflicted.=
= I know. Just think of it as my likes and dislikes.=
At Anne who smiled at her and hit her with her elbow, Isilite let out a small sigh. It wasn’t because she didn’t understand her heart.
Hearing so many gossips from behind her because of her heterogeneous size must have left a scar on her heart.
When the distance increased and even the whispering could no longer be heard, Hwanin quietly opened his mouth.
“I stand in the lead. Anne, Lieutenant, Lieutenant, and Rimin, follow me with Bisang.”
Anne, who had formed a rank as instructed, was surprised to see that Li-Min did not flinch.
I thought it would be like that if it was a mass of women, it would be buried by the lord again, or that it was right for a girl to be behind like this because she had no ability.
Did Doryeong keep her mouth shut because she told her not to make a fuss?
Hook-
After passing through the 6m-high arched gate, one side of which collapsed, the air changed and the tight tension unique to the lower level labyrinth came over.
=…=
Anne put away all her useless thoughts and took out her hammer of punishment and the shield of the castle wall to calm her down. Do.
“Limin. Can you keep the luminous body?”
=Yes.=
“Float.”
Li-Min would have glazed her eyes if someone else had asked her to light up instead of a lantern, but she obediently obeys Hwan-in’s words and floats a sphere of light that is moderately dazzling.
Hwanin silently looked at the corridor close to the corridor, 8m wide and 12m high, in the light created by Rimin’s luminous sphere.
The corridor, which should have been splendid and splendid, is weathered and eroded by time, yellowing, and dust piled up here and there as if it had been neglected for a long time.
Maybe because it was the 4th floor out of the 6 floors of the 6th grade labyrinth? Certainly, the amount of information visible to the soul’s eyes has become somewhat clearer and larger.
A blue aura that runs along the walls like the veins of a living creature. Acupuncture points of phase power that thump, thump, and pulsate like a heart.
Hwanin approached the veins of phase power that only flowed into the castle and carefully placed his hand on the acupuncture points where several stems converged and then branched out again.
‘… It’s warm.’
Did the black magician who settled in the labyrinth near the town of Turad contaminate this acupuncture point and rule the entire labyrinth?
However, the meridian of this phase power goes from the outside to the inside. That means something like the food and energy of the labyrinth core that is sent from the outside to the inside…
‘It must be true that he tried to increase his strength by taking this as his own.’
=What is the teacher doing?=
Rimin reasoned hard to find the meaning of Hwanin’s sudden stop.
If you were touching an oil painting that was starting to dry and fall, you would think you were appraising an artwork, but you are very carefully touching an empty wall.
Even if you take out all your knowledge, you can’t understand the meaning of that action, and the question is growing in your mind.
=Anne. Master, maybe now…=
= Yes. Because that is the purpose of labyrinth exploration in the first place.=
Hearing her subjectless conversation from behind her, Rimin turned on her twin wicks and looked back at them.
=Is that really possible?=
=If the possibility is not high, the sword will not move. Doesn’t the verification itself prove a fairly high success rate?=
Because it was a conversation without a subject, I wondered if he was making fun of himself by listening to his own words, but that’s not the case. Those girls weren’t paying any attention to this side.
Li-Min’s pride was hurt. That I, who has never missed the academy chief, doesn’t know that even the lesser girls with such hats noticed?
On top of that, it’s even more disgusting that he shuts her up when he looks back.
‘No, in this case, it’s reasonable to regard it as an investigation of something that only a teacher can do, not ordinary and universal knowledge!’
It’s natural that you don’t know.
As I came to a conclusion, my curiosity soared out of control this time. What kind of research topic is that, to the extent that a teacher like you is carefully examining it?
The teacher is multi-talented enough to admit himself. Just looking at those strong women like slaves, doesn’t it prove the excellence of their abilities!
It’s a teacher’s research subject. I’m curious. I’m really curious!
It was Li-Min who inflated her Hwanin’s abilities beyond what she saw in order to protect her own self-esteem, but she didn’t realize the strangeness of her in this accident.
No, she would be right about not trying to realize.
“Egg plant.”
It was Li-Min who quietly followed Hwan-in, expecting that talkative old man to ask the teacher a question…
‘Why aren’t you talking?!’
Now I feel like I’m keeping my mouth shut as if I said too much.
An antique wooden door that appeared shortly after walking.
The weathered door looked like it would crumble at the slightest touch, so Hwan-in physically checked to see if a trap had been installed before touching the door…
Wow.
Wowaaaaagh-!!
The door came crashing down, and I saw a familiar face standing in the middle of a vast hall about 60 meters in diameter.
=It’s crying.=
= Those are two. The dew will go to you… Uh!=
While Anne was speaking out, she hesitated at Hwanin’s action as he ran like the wind, but before long, she caught sight of Hwanin’s performance.
Bake it!!
Wooooo!!
In line with Hwanin’s charge, two 3.7m tall pot-bellied giants struck down the log clubs they were holding in their hands.
Kwakwang!!
With a roar, the cracked and dusty tiles shattered and dust rose up, obscuring the view.
What?
Kurur.
Anne looked back at them and looked pathetically at Urger, who was drooling ravenously.
His intelligence is so bad, he thinks he’s dead because he can’t see his opponent, even though he doesn’t have any flesh or blood on his stick.
When I finished thinking like that, the two Urgers suddenly stopped moving. Then, a thin solid line was drawn around his neck, and first the rock-like head burst and fell with a sound.
The gigantic body with flab following it also collapsed with a coo goong, a roar.
A visionary who appears holding a light spear at the place where Urge fell.
Isilite opened her mouth and pushed Li Min’s back, who was blocking her entrance, before entering her room, she said.
=If the owner had a light spear in his hand at that time, I think he would have caught it as easily as he does now.=
“It is a small difference. Maybe it’s just a car of leisure.”
=When you first met Urgur, right?=
“Okay.”
After checking her hallway for the last time, Anne went into her room and glanced at the illusionist checking the condition of her light window, then glanced at the gray corpse of her gray skin as Isilite brought her phase stone detector. Gave
If he was that big, he would be between 4th and 5th grade, but he cut things off really neatly.
The power of Grimoam was not activated, and there was no sign of using the Spirit Code, so it was the result of simply using physical abilities and light spears.
How many people would be able to do it if given the same conditions? Most of them would be afraid and turn into blood or hack Urgur to death.
=This was a female.=
Isilite, who had removed the leather that roughly covered Urger’s lower leg, saw a long crack in the groin with the letter 1 and furrowed her eyebrows.
I thought she was just overweight and had saggy breasts, but she was a female.
She didn’t have a phase stone, so I remember selling her testicles at a very high price.
= Males are really hard to see. If she sees 100 of them, about one of them is a male? =
That’s right. Didn’t I say male Susado is extremely rare?
Recalling the nasty merchant of her leopard head, Isilite tilted her head as Anne pulled out her middle sword and sliced her urger in the belly.
=What are you doing?=
= Huh? To collect Urgur female wombs. The female uterus is a material for yin qi medicine, so if her Yul brings it to her sister, she will make it into a medicine and sell it. =
= Ah. This is also the material.=
=Ghost girl, take this too.=
Upon hearing Ri Min’s voice, Anne turned to her and stopped Urger by the head as it was rolling at her feet. She and she were stopped by her limin while trying to extract her eyeballs from Urger’s head.
= Like a stupid bitch. It means to take the whole head.=
=Why? It doesn’t sell except for Urge’s eyeballs.=
=At Ebrad Academy, Urger’s head is always bought for 10 silver coins for dissection practice. If you’re going to hunt for a long time, you’ll throw it away because it’s low in efficiency compared to its value, but if you don’t hunt for a while, you should take care of something like this. Pull out the heart there and pull out the 7th vertebrae as well. The 7th rib and the thigh muscle tendon.=
As she pointed out the parts that were her money, Anne, who was collecting her by-products as he said, asked her with her eyes wide open.
= What is it Why do you know by-products so well?=
= Tsk. The four bitches who enter the labyrinth without looking into making money are stupid.
= But I know it too well. =
=…=
Li-Min, who thought that the level was low and couldn’t communicate, turned his gaze to Hwan-in, who was looking around here and there in this room, instead of answering.
I see the same place where the teacher’s gaze is heading, but I can’t figure out what I’m looking at.
Paintings on the ceiling, old curtains hanging from second-floor windows, pieces of wall tiles and broken floor tiles.
Anything in common over there?
=Doryeong, I finished collecting by-products. If you have two of them, I think you will get 1.5 gold coins.=
“… Have you disbanded?”
= Yes. Limin knows where to make money.=
Hwanin shook his head slightly at the sight of his girlfriends with both hands covered in blood and Urge whose corpse was completely dismembered.
When it comes to money, eating the backs of rich people is more profitable than by-products of heterogeneous species, but there is no need to suffer…
But I didn’t say anything to their bright faces. If they feel rewarded, there is no reason to stop them.
“Next we go to the next room.”
Hwanin started with the room numbered 12 and looked at rooms 8, 13, and 17 as well.
The structure of the northern part of the old castle was completely different from the castle, as it was created by a labyrinth.
Corridors that are complicatedly twisted here and there. Oversized rooms and high ceilings. Art pieces that are old, worn out, and on the verge of breaking are seen everywhere.
Since such things were not important to Hwanin, he devoted all his energy to discovering the magic trap.
However, the magic trap did not appear, and in each room, only two to four Urgers, Trombe with extreme regenerative powers, which were about Urger’s cousins, and Birak, who seemed to be a mixture of a scorpion and an anemone.
The traps you see from time to time are all normal traps that trigger physics.
“You rarely see magic traps.”
= Teacher. As far as I know, magic traps don’t come out very well in the 4th floor old castle area. I heard that there are many in the 5th floor, the royal palace area, and the 6th floor, the royal residence, but I’m not sure.=
Information from an unexpected person made Hwanin feel that his investigation was insufficient. It didn’t really matter, though.
“Change the purpose a bit. Continue exploring the northern area until you encounter a spell trap.”
=Yes.=
=Yes, Master.=
Hwanin moved from room to room avoiding long corridors as much as possible while hunting and searching for heterogeneous species.
Beep!
From time to time, Bi Sang also took part in relieving stress, such as shooting compressed wind blades at Hyung Jong Lee, and Hwanin entrusted the entire battle to Isilite and Anne and focused on grasping Goseong.
= Stupid bitches! Don’t you know that these art pieces are more expensive than the by-products you collected as the four bitches turned to blood!?=
=Oh, it’s noisy.=
= If you don’t know, honestly admit that you don’t know and learn! That… !=
Clink—
=… Why are you breaking things, you stupid bitches!=
=It’s cracked!=
= Why don’t you know that antiques and gold are also cool in archeology?! If you restore the Notlux-style Arabian jar that has been broken for four years now and sell it well, you can get 5 gold coins!!=
=Is this expensive?=
=… ! Anyway, this stupid bitch is really… !=
=Oh, I’m sorry I woke you up, but stop talking about that stupid bitch.=
=They say stupid things are stupid. Then should I call you a sow with an empty stomach!=
“… Limin.”
=Sorry for the noise, sir.=
He jumps up and down when he sees a scene where an art piece is damaged, but when Hwanin points it out, he shuts his mouth and becomes polite as if he had never done that.
But that was only for a moment.
As time goes on, Isilite and Anne’s mistakes are frothed again, and they pour out hateful remarks about their gender that make feminists roll their eyes when they hear it.
=Are nutrients that go to your head focused on your chest and buttocks? There’s not even the slightest bit of delicacy on the subject of a girl! If you know how to break it like that, take off all your artistic armor and clothes and swing a wooden bat with only your lower legs covered like that Urge female!
‘I couldn’t sleep, and my sense of reasoning was weakened by the excitement.’
When drowsiness increases, self-discipline also decreases. Besides, it was past midnight now. It’s the yard where I’ve been awake for the second day…
What was curious was that Isilite and Anne were not very angry even though they were offended by such hate speech.
In this world, discrimination like that is not that rare from a woman’s point of view.
= What’s in your head that you can’t understand just by saying it once!? Earlier, you said that women are capable too, and you said that with a head that couldn’t even memorize a few precautions! If you have a head, don’t just use it to decorate your ugly body, but also use it to improve your thinking ability, head!=
= Really. Stop nagging me. If it’s that expensive, you can take care of it yourself.=
But there is a degree.
Anne, who was kind enough to Rimin’s continued verbal abuse, was now on the level of being a little angry beyond being displeased, and Issilite was killing herself so much that it was strange that Rimin didn’t notice.
Feeling the need to stop him from crossing the line any further, Hwanin grabbed Rimin by the shoulder.
“Limin. Please refrain from talking too much.”
= Ugh. Sorry, sir. Because those girls are so frustrating.=
“Knowledge and wisdom are two different things. There are distinct differences between individuals in the way they use the two. Those who do not truly understand this may be obsessed with egotism and become fools.”
=… I’ll keep this in mind.=
After that, the abusive language definitely disappeared, but their expressions, which had already exceeded the standard level of displeasure, did not loosen up.
The resulting madness took place in the next room.
The overall appearance is a sea anemone, but the scorpion’s head and pincers are attached to the lower part, and the upper part is a heterogeneous species with disgusting tentacles. After fighting four Biraks.
Isilite and Anne collect by-products with grim faces, while Hwan-in examines the meridian veins in the room.
In the meantime, Limin found a picture frame 1m long and 50cm wide decorating one side of the pentagonal room.
‘Isaac of Aupuslis by Joman Durkheim, 4745. It is also in good condition. Even if it is tagged as a labyrinth mountain, if you put a conservation technique on it and put it up for auction, you can get 10 gold coins.’
If it’s that expensive, I told you to take care of it yourself, right?
Rimin glared at Anne, who was dismembering Birach’s sea anemone body with her axe’s eye, and strode towards the frame.
“… ?”
The reason Hwanin noticed it was when he heard an acupuncture point on the opposite wall when he heard a crying voice saying, “That idiot is doing something strange.”
The opposite wall, only 50 meters away.
It was a distance that was clearly out of Hwanin’s senses, and I didn’t notice the sound Rimin was making, buried in the sound of Isilite and Anne dismembering Birak.
Thanks to this, Hwanin turned to Rimin when he tore off the frame, and also saw the blue hall of phase power on the wall behind the frame.
It was a magic trick hidden using the picture frame as bait.
“Rimin, stop!”
=Yes?=
=Huh?=
Tick—Is this the sound of a gong hitting an empty fuse?
A small, ominous rupture sound flowed from the watermelon-sized vortex of blue phase force, and right after that, the scepter of phase force tightened greatly, spewing an ominous mist mixed with purple and pink towards Limin with a pop.
= What is it? That! Hey, Limin!=
=Anne!=
“Stand back, both of you!”
Hwan-in, who runs like lightning and catches Isilite and Anne, raises his core power and pushes it into the phase current.
At the same time, an invisible haze formed several meters in length and covered Isilite and Anne.
‘What kind of magic trap is it? Summons? Transition? Or a gaseous killing trap?’
When I thought for 0.5 seconds whether to leave this place with Li-Min or not, or to blow away the entire body including Li-Min with the Soul Explosion.
= Ugh, uh? What… Hey, this… Old… !=
Whoops, whoops. Dududuk—
= Bad. Me, my body… This… ! Ah… !=
Yeejeok, tduduk. Uzijik.
=Doryeong, that’s a mutant magic trap. It’s already triggered…=
“… It’s called a mutant.”
= Yes. The sound is a bit horrific, but the blood isn’t flowing on the floor, and the sound of bones contracting and breaking… It means that Limin is being cursed and changing into another body. Are you lucky out of misfortune?=
Anne’s explanation, which felt a little embarrassed and a little twisted, asked Hwan-in, loosening her tension a little.
“I guess it is not a case of losing one’s life.”
=There is also a mutant trap that kills you if you get hit. A class that forcibly mutates and loses its human form and disappears. But right now, Li-Min keeps screaming, right? It means not to that extent.=
=Then can you tell what kind of transformation it is?=
At Isilite’s question, who had been silently listening to her explanation, Anne turned her gaze to Limin, who was covered in purple and pink, laughing like a child.
= Well? First of all, you can see it as a human because it has vocal cords and the structure of the oral cavity remains so that it can scream like a human. What is certain is that she will lose her original appearance. Oh, looks like the mutation is coming to an end.=
Just as she said, the fog gradually faded and a human figure began to be seen.
=Ah, the wings are still there. It would have been funnier if it had disappeared.=
A fun-oriented story that is not like a good girl. There, Hwan-in realized that she could cancel that state and let go of all her tension.
In the meantime, all the fog that covered Limin had disappeared, and even in the eyes of the soul, it seemed that all residual phase power had disappeared, so Hwanin approached the collapsed Limin.
And Hwanin, who confirmed the changed appearance of Li Min with her girlfriends, opened her mouth slightly in surprise that he seldom felt.
=Seo is a teacher.=
Long blonde hair that looks like melted gold. Compared to before, the lines are thinner on the face and features. Her voice is one octave thinner and higher…
= My, my body…=
A large chunk of flesh was caught in Li Min’s hand, her tears welling up.
Her slender waist, well-developed silence followed, and slender white ankles revealed under her slightly pushed-up robe.
“Is it the curse of gender reversal?”
Li Min, who had become a super-beautiful girl at the analysis of Hwanin with her soul’s eyes, burst into tears, and Anne held her belly button and began to laugh until she was out of breath.
= It hurts, ahahaha!! Kyahahahaha!!=
It was an exhilarating burst of laughter that I had never heard even as a Hwanin.
