Chapter 625 – 618 Phase Stone Factory
Whenever the heart of the labyrinth buzzes and emits waves like anger, the deep core chamber, which is several times larger than the space used for the military camp, is dyed red.
= Big… ! Vice-captain, too much unidentified energy is accumulating in the core!=
=Existing properties are mutating!!=
=Control, control is difficult… !=
=Don’t speak weakly! Remember the pride of the sky knight! The lives of 500,000 Palatum citizens are on your shoulders! Squeeze out even the strength you used to drink!!
Hwanin looked around the room, listening to the screams of the knights and the screams of Yurtrang.
The knights of the tactic, sweating in cold sweat like rain, tried their best to dissipate the energy of the core force. Close-up knights watching such knights stiff with tension.
And the dense meridians that thump in time with the beating of the core as if they were really blood vessels.
Looking at the red light going into the core, it is certain that energy is being injected through that place, but where is that energy coming from? Besides, why is his design so hot?
“Everyone. Protect me.”
= Huh? Ah, yes. =
=Yes. Ahyoung, Ryeogang.=
=Yes.=
=Neet.=
Hwanin, who called his girlfriends to his side, immediately closed his eyes and entered into contemplation of his inner aura and deep nuclear power.
It is felt. In line with the beating of that core, the core force in her pattern is also trembling and dissipating heat as if molecules are rotating in microwaves.
Are they resonating with the same energy as the basic basis?
‘It’s not like that. This…’
… ! … !!
… !!
… !! … !
The shouts and screams of the knights and yurtang quickly faded away from my ears, and my perception of the surroundings also elongated.
After a while, all five senses were blocked, and an image of a landscape as if entering a completely black four-dimensional space unfolded in Hwanin’s head.
At the same time, a gigantic unknown energy rises from the black bottom like a dark abyss as if to swallow the world.
Hwanin felt that his soul was dyed and trembled by the pressure of the energy and the light emitted by the energy approaching every moment.
Fire–
A landscape that changes in an instant.
‘Here is.’
A white meadow covered with lily of the valley. A place where the universe spreads out in the sky and a blue planet is half-crossed at the end of the horizon.
Hwanin looked back and noticed that the Super God Tree, similar to the pattern engraved on his chest, was dyed golden.
‘Before, it would have been white. … !’
Waves of golden light coming from the tree rush like waves, turning lily of the valley flowers into golden willow flowers and fluttering their petals in a dizzying way.
Hwanin, who had been blinded by the violent wind and the dizzy storm of petals, lowered his hand and slowly raised his head to the sky.
『…』
Huge pupils that covered the placenta of the universe with starlight like the Milky Way.
Previously, those black hole-like pupils had also undergone changes. In the center of the pupil, there is a phenomenon in which the space seems to have been cracked, and a pale golden light emanates from the gap.
But there was no brain-splitting pain like before. Instead, the area around his chest and both eyes burn hotly.
=… Energy is transforming into one energy!!=
= Energy is coming together!!
= Stop! It means to extract energy and disorganize it!!=
= No!! I can’t control, I can’t control!!!=
At the shouts of the knights and Yurtrang, Hwanin noticed that the scenery had returned to normal.
The girlfriends seem to be unaware of the phenomenon that happened to them as they are keeping the direction of the square vertex.
“Hwanin, shouldn’t you escape?”
… If he hadn’t noticed the illusion, would it have happened only in his own image?
The moment he contemplated inside his body again, Hwanin noticed that a change had taken place.
The energy of Reiki and Core Power has changed.
The phase power gathered by Grimoam’s strong power is being devastated by the aura and deep core power, and its existence is changing. Like…
‘Like that core.’
「Hwanin?」
Hwanin, ignoring the voice of Hwanyeon calling him, began to move toward the heart core.
=… Seongje?! Don’t get too close, wait a minute! Spirit Knight?!=
= Rooney. Wait and see =
= No, wait! Really shouldn’t! Vice-captain! Yurt and vice-captain!!=
Caught in Anne’s brawny power, Runy struggled to escape from her grip, but she felt immobilized and called her vice-captain abruptly.
Turning around at the sound, Yutrang was awestruck when he saw the Hwanin approaching with a throbbing golden aura all over his body.
What is that? Has the light of the aura become stronger? No more than that!
= Back off! Sleep, knights! Stop Seongjae from approaching the core!=
With an instinctive sense of danger, Yutrang summoned the knights, and the melee knights were confused and rushed to Hwanin.
However, every time Hwanin waved his hand and touched the body of the knights, the knights could not overcome the twist added to their strength, so they flew to their colleagues and crashed and fell, making a path.
= Hey! Who do you dare to attack!=
=Stop it now!=
Right after that, Isilite and Anne fly like the wind and like light, knocking out all the knights and smashing them to the ground.
In particular, the person who unconsciously drew the sword was blown away and pinned to the wall as if hit by a battering ram.
Bang, Kwajik! Coo kung!!
Sigh! Wow?! Aagh!
An unbelievable sight where close to twenty knights were smashed by just two people.
Yutrang, who had his mouth wide open, stood in front of Hwanin with his body, startled by the fact that he was the only one who could stop the Holy Festival.
= Seongjae! If you touch the core, it will escalate into a conflict between Yeongdo and Palatum! Don’t touch… !
『Get out of the way.』
Burr!
Maybe this is the voice that controls the soul.
Hearing the voice while witnessing Hwanin’s golden eyes, Yurtrang felt the strength draining from his body, but he desperately held on and appealed while half clinging to Hwanin’s back.
=Seo, Seongje-nim… ! This labyrinth is the primary production base of Palatum. The labyrinth disappears… If you do, hundreds of thousands of people will suffer… ! Please… !=
Either that or not, Hwanin approached the heart core with Yutrang hanging from his body.
In that brief moment, most of the magic knights collapsed or fainted due to exhaustion of mental and phase power.
Hwanin held out his palm while watching from a distance of twenty steps away from the heart core, which spreads stronger waves after the obstruction was removed.
The power of control he acquired by manipulating the core power of the pattern while manipulating the spiritual energy spreads through his palms.
Spirituality and core power were radiated like a skein of a spider’s web and connected to the heart core while flying, and Hwanin began to extort the heart core power and the origin of life that the heart core had worked hard to collect.
Anyway, the energy she gathered by swallowing the waves of tranquility she emitted without permission.
‘So, it won’t be a problem if I pay the interest and get it back. Don’t you think so?’
Whoa, whoa… !
Labyrinth cries bitterly and tries with all her might to preserve her energy, but she fails.
He is a Hwanin who contemplates the flow of magical power in the world with the eyes of his soul and unconsciously learns the essence of the flow.
Here, the experience of handling hundreds of thousands of souls and collecting the soul fragments they left behind to create a soul orb.
The experience of coordinating the enormous aura acquired while holding close to a thousand women.
Finally, the experience of controlling the core force obtained by destroying the labyrinth.
Hwanin had no one to compare his ability with, so he didn’t know what level it was, but his control power was now at a level that could be called dominance.
There, more than 10 sorcery knights put all their effort into extracting and distributing energy from the core force, demonstrating themselves.
The core’s ability to utilize energy was weak to counter such dominance, and moreover, the core’s accumulated energy absorbed and assimilated some of the energy he emitted.
The energy stored in the heart core flows into his chest through the thin, solid line that flowed from Hwanin’s hand.
Labyrinth sobbed as she was robbed of all the energy she had saved so hard to avoid the attention of humans like vampire leeches.
Woo woo woo woo… !
After a while.
The wave that had been spewing out like it was about to run out stopped. The crystal, which had been emitting strange grayish-white light, returned to a transparent state like that of an ordinary crystal.
= Runaway… Did it stop?=
=…=
Dump.
Yurtrang, who was half-hanging on Hwanin’s back, collapsed as if flowing down at the sound of someone’s voice, and the other knights, who had been beaten and flew away by Issilite and Anne, fell, tangled, and stood halfway, only staring blankly into their cores.
The core of the core is faint, as if the energy is almost exhausted. However, considering that a huge explosion could have blown up Mt. Cheonju following the rampage, that’s pretty much it.
If you use a little phase power around you, your energy will fill up quickly.
An important thing is…
=…=
=…=
The knights’ eyes turned to the back of Seongjae.
A golden aura that seemed to have somehow gotten stronger. I have the illusion that something like a faint haze is shimmering around my shoulders and back.
Yutrang, who had been sitting down like a girl whose legs had lost strength, asked with a trembling voice.
=Seo, Seongje-nim. It just… How to do it…=
“I just copied what the sorcery knights did.”
=…=
=…=
Upon hearing the story, the knights were overcome with a sense of shame and inferiority.
The concentrated absorption and discharge method, which absorbs and releases energy from the core, is the vision of visions. Because of this, the level of difficulty in learning it is insane, and the period of mastery far exceeds that of ordinary techniques.
The collection and release ceremony is the essence of the Phase Force Control Technique, which takes a year to learn and several years to master, even for those with excellent talents, who have become 4th or 5th level magicians.
Did you just steal and learn from what you saw?
Consternation spreads across the faces of the sorcery knights who came to their senses one by one, but Hwanin opened his mouth with a calm attitude enough to feel the difference.
“I had no choice but to go out because the heart core showed no sign of stopping the runaway, but I am concerned that it might have been a nuisance to you all.”
=… !=
The knights, who were filled with a sense of defeat at Hwanin’s story, now turned red like tomatoes.
‘I couldn’t even do this much, so I put it on the brink of going out of control.’
It sounded like this in their ears.
In addition, they were thrown first by Seongjenim and smashed by two spirit knights second.
Yutrang, who came to his senses in a situation where he had nothing to say even with two mouths, sighed and stood up to scold the knights.
= What are you doing! What did you do to get lost?! Get up right now!! Runy Senior Knight!!=
=Old!!=
Rooney, whose eye was blinded by Anne’s punches, stood up and answered.
=Immediately recruit 15 people and observe the progress of the core! At the same time, keep an eye out for anyone accessing the Deep Core Chamber, and immediately ban anyone who approaches without permission! Those who are fine with limbs, take care of those who are exhausted! Return to the military camp!=
=Old!=
=Yes!!=
While the knights with dented armor here and there, bleeding double noses, or broken teeth hurriedly took care of the exhausted knights, Yutrand looked at them with a poop-chewed face in embarrassment and let out a sigh.
Then, in front of Isilite and Anne, who were spewing terrifying murder at them, they bowed their waists 90 degrees to Hwanin, managing their facial expressions.
= I’m sorry. I misunderstood Seongjenim’s intentions and committed another rude act.=
=Don’t you often hear that Vice-captain doesn’t have the ability to learn?=
=Next time, I might stab you from behind, so I’ll have to keep an eye on it.=
=The first time he said it with words, but the second time he attacked him directly.=
At the two-spirit knight’s bloody sarcasm, Yutrang tightly closed his eyes.
=What just happened will be documented and a report will be uploaded to the top right away. The work the Holy Priestess has done and the filial piety we have committed will also be included, so the right reward will be set for the Holy Priest and the proper punishment will be given to us. We sincerely apologize for touching Seongje-nim’s body carelessly!
“If that makes you feel comfortable, do it.”
=Thank you.=
“Since our business is over, we will leave the labyrinth. If you need to contact me, you will know where my party and I are staying, so you can come to us there.”
=Yes. The fact that he saved the labyrinth from danger. Thank you again, Mr. Seong.=
Hwanin, who gave a small nod, left the Yurtrang with a hard and tired expression behind and left the core room with his girlfriends and emergency supplies.
Then, as I moved toward the stairs leading down to the fourth floor, I carefully examined the meridians on the walls and ceiling of the labyrinth.
I can’t feel the red light at all, as if the power was literally absorbed all the way to the floor.
When I carefully touched the acupuncture point, I felt the phase force flowing like water dripping drop by drop from a slightly open faucet.
‘He didn’t die.’
There must be a party hunting on the 5th and 4th floors, and the phase power they sow is being collected and heading toward the core.
= There is no fog in the abyss… Ligang, what about mental invasion?=
= I have no feelings. It seems that the mental invasion has also stopped.=
“There are no heterogeneous species nearby. Even the spirit couldn’t go far, but now it’s wandering around the entire labyrinth.”
Hwanyeon wriggled and spoke while sticking her head out from the collar.
=Has the labyrinth lost its power? I hope it won’t collapse after dying like this… ?=
“There will be no such thing. It is a country where research on the core has progressed to the extent that it has created a tracking device as well as a collection discharge system.”
After all the heterogeneous species die, there will be no room for phase power to flow out, so the energy to be supplied will decrease, but the labyrinth will not die.
There is also a means to check the remaining energy of the core. If the labyrinth is about to wither away, I will revive the labyrinth by giving phase power little by little.
= That must be so. Fantastic, are there people around?=
“No. There are no pursuers.”
It was only when Anne, who had checked her surroundings through illusion, answered that no one was there, that she spoke with a slight smile.
=I actually thought Doryong was trying to break the core.=
= Me too. It seemed like the core was running out of control, so I thought everyone would escape after destroying it.=
However, only the energy is neatly dispersed in the core. Ah-yeong once again confirmed that Hwan-in was a genius.
Isn’t it something people can do to see and learn the collection and release ceremony on the spot?
Hwanin, who came down the 6th floor stairs to the 4th floor of the eastern part of the old castle, asked Hwanyeon.
“I will tell you the details when I return home, so please guide me on the way back without meeting Hyungjong Lee.”
“Huh. It’s over there.”
On the way back, retracing the way she came with her girlfriends, Hwanin quickly felt the aftermath of the labyrinth’s core dying.
=There is no heterogeneous species.=
=I don’t think the broken labyrinth objects can be recovered.=
Ayeong pointed to the place where the wall collapsed as a trace of battle. And the corpse of a bugbear disassembled and scattered nearby.
In the 4th floor, Goseong area, as well as in the 2nd floor, the outskirts of the ruins, the heterogeneous species could not be met. Although dead Ohume and Gnul bodies were found everywhere.
The disappearance of the restoration of the labyrinth and the absorption of corpses is proof that the overall function of the labyrinth has stopped.
Thanks to this, Hwanin, who escaped the labyrinth of the forgotten old city in three or four hours, was able to see the completely dark night sky and the square in front of the labyrinth that was still brightly lit.
= Because it’s real! Hyungjong Lee said he was skinny! But the entrance tax is not returned!=
=Soldier, the inside of the labyrinth is strange.=
= Didn’t even burnt and broken trees recover?=
= Even the bodies I killed didn’t disappear…=
=What the hell is going on here?=
A plaza the size of several football fields is filled with a chaotic atmosphere created by people who are puzzled and surprised by a mysterious phenomenon that has not occurred in hundreds of years.
Feeling the temptation of alcohol as the smell of alcohol from somewhere passed by, Hwanin asked Anne while crossing the plaza.
“Anne, how much alcohol do you have?”
= Huh? There are about 10 bottles of sake for savoring and about two pairs of sake to drink when you just want to drink. I still have some left over from Doryong’s world.=
Not enough for everyone to drink. Hwanin took out ten silver coins from his pocket and gave them to Ayeong.
“Buy any alcohol with this.”
=Yes.=
The women looked at each other and narrowed their eyes. Hwanin asked me to drink first, what was going on?
When Hwanin arrived home, he sat down on the sofa while unbuttoning his shirt, letting out a long sigh.
= Ryogang. Please help me make snacks.=
=Yes, sister.=
=Let’s set up a drink!=
I don’t know why, but Anne, who was happy that Hwanin asked to have a drink first, runs out and takes out the bottles with Ayeongi and Yurepa, who have bought them.
=Yurpa’s older sister. This dark beer tastes better when chilled. Shouldn’t it cool down?=
=If you put this bead in the barrel, it will cool your throat to the point of freezing.=
=Oh!=
“Ah! I want to drink this Anne, give me this.”
= No. You don’t even drink a lot I’m always looking for expensive things on the subject of drinking and throwing away alcohol. =
“Is it a drinking bath? How delicious it is to sip while soaking your body in alcohol.
=… Yes?=
= Sister Anne. Don’t be shy Even if you have dozens of bottles of silk, it’s not enough to take a bath with a sister’s size.=
=Chit.=
“How about drinking through the butthole? That’s how it goes.”
=Who is it?=
“I don’t know. In the city I stopped by once, I saw a girl playing with a bottle of wine in her ass. He died because he liked women.=
A voyeuristic fairy-like answer. Such a fantasy is also a fantasy, but seeing that Anne was interested in it, Hwanin smiled, feeling a little absurd.
“He didn’t die of pleasure, but really died of acute alcohol poisoning.”
=Acute alcohol intoxication? Looking at the word, it feels very bad.=
“The rectum has many mucous membranes and capillaries, so absorption is faster than through the stomach. You’re a melee worker and have a high tolerance for alcohol, so it might be okay, but even pouring a bottle of alcohol that’s only about 40 degrees will lead to a fatality rate for most people.”
At the Hwanin’s explanation, Yurpa showed scientific curiosity and asked.
=Where does the difference between drinking through the mouth and drinking through the butthole come from?=
“Whether or not it passes through the liver among the internal organs of a person.”
Yu Lepa, who knew the function and role of the liver through the human body data of the notebook, sighed and slapped her palm.
=If you drink it by mouth, your stomach and liver filter out the toxicity of alcohol once, but if you absorb it through your capillaries and mucous membranes, isn’t that the case?=
“If you drink normally, you can control the level of drunkenness because the alcohol energy rises slowly. However, when it is absorbed through the rectum, it is not controlled and fills the body with a high concentration of alcohol.”
As a result, the training function of the brain is paralyzed and the danger of alcohol cannot be informed, leading to death as it is.
Hwanin filled her dark beer with an ordinary glass and showed it to Anne.
“It is said that consuming only this amount of beer at work puts you in a state similar to drinking that whole keg,” She says.
=…=
If so, do you think you can try it once? Seeing that expression on his face, Hwanin laughed.
Who is not a fleur who likes to drink? Hwanin threw a peanut and hit Hwanyeon in the head. Hwan-yeon, who screams evil and glares at Hwan-in while stroking the back of his head.
「Why!」
“Anne was interested because you said something strange. What are you going to do with this?”
“What’s wrong? He’s become a tree anyway, so he doesn’t poop and pee, and his ass hole is clean. He’s a 7th-class fighter, so he’s strong. It’s about a drink. Let me drink back If something goes wrong, you can ask A-young to recover it.”
Near Hwanyeon, who giggles while talking, Ayeong and Yurpa also look curious.
She was about to have a few drinks with her girlfriends, talking about what had happened in the core chamber, but why did it turn out this way?
“You’re not even drunk, but you’re full of curiosity like drunkards.”
The women giggle at Hwanin’s voice. Seeing that, Hwanin also smiled a little and held out a wooden beer mug to Anne.
“Let’s have a drink first.”
If you’re not drunk yet, it’s okay to get drunk.
