Labyrinth Story 804

Chapter 804 – 795 Finding Adneville

Hwanin objectively and accurately grasped the skills of his girlfriends, who would not be strange even if they were now beyond lovers and prospective wives.

Even in an ordinary party, the leader must be aware of the abilities of his colleagues.

This is because you can avoid situations in which you accept a request that exceeds your capabilities and get killed, or get wiped out without reading the timing to retreat during a battle with a strong enemy.

Hwanin thinks so, so when he stops by a city or enters an area where a battle is likely to occur, the first step is to measure the difficulty of the battle in that area through Hwanyeon.

The reason, of course, is to prevent a crisis from happening to them, and to avoid their anger from making the surroundings devastated by their crisis.

After measuring like that, when they go out or have to leave, they pair up with lovers according to the risk of battle or place people in temporary residences and leave.

… But that’s also the story of the early and middle stages of the trip.

In recent years, as the women have become stronger, the party’s armed forces have been leveled upwards, and the restrictions have been lifted little by little.

Only one or two couples are assigned to Yurpa’s outings, and the rest is left to each individual’s discretion.

However, when visiting Warna, the city of the Harin tribe, as before, the ability to cope with the situation and combat ability were measured like a knife, and the party was divided into two.

Hwanin, Isilite, Anne, Hwanyeon.

The four strongest members of the party are missing, but the remaining members of the ship are by no means weak.

Yurpa, Baekryogang, Ayoung, Norn, Immoreel, Younggi and Kim Cheol-soo and Kim Young-soo are the five heroic spirits fully charged with deep core power.

Norn, Immorel, and the five Heroic Spirits exert tremendous power in aerial combat. Norn, in particular, is growing day by day as his ability as a god of wind is gradually maturing.

After achieving physical awakening in modern times and obtaining an infinite quiver in the Mystery Palace, he literally became a living battery.

If I had had the right time, I would have wiped out the hundred or so members of my family who were rushing into her fjord alone, without the need of anyone’s help.

Yurpa is in charge of buffing Hwanin when he is away, and Ayoung is in charge of recovery and protection as a 7th-class priestess.

The five heroic spirits are immortal enough to pass the time even if high-ranking monsters swarm in the water, and if Kim Chul-soo and Kim Young-soo launch a dimension break in space leap, even if an 8th-class Jinsu or a monster attacks, they will not be able to do anything to them. Hwanin was sure.

=…=
=…=

So, when the women returned to the fjord where the ship was located, they could not accept the situation in front of them for a moment.

When Hwanin and the women who came up to the shore of Jormunsen Island parted ways with Sydne and returned to the fjord, the Rijina, which should have been moored, had disappeared with the women.

=… Bae and unnie, where did the kids go?=

=Hey, did the kids drag the boat out?=

「What are you doing? I didn’t tell Hwanin to wait patiently, but I didn’t say to go around.”

In addition, there is no Hwanin’s soul sailor, and there is no help from his own spirit.

It was difficult to turn around and go out again because the bower had dropped anchor facing the inside of the fjord.

Hwan-yeon, who became smaller after unhumanization, sat on Hwan-in’s shoulder and summoned the higher spirits of water and wind to scan the island and the nearby sea.

“There are no pieces of the sunken ship, and there are no traces of children on the island. Even if you look down from the sky, there is no trace.”

“… There are very faint traces of battle in the fjord.”

“Really.”

But unless you look really closely, you won’t know. It’s a shallow cliff that looks like Baekryeogang’s arrow mark, or a rock cut that looks like Norn’s wind knife.

“And if all of Yurpa had disappeared… It is highly likely that they moved on their own rather than being kidnapped by someone.”

Hwan-in, who had eliminated the slight but reasonable anxiety that had sprouted in his heart, gave instructions to Hwan-yeon.

“Explore the nearby waters with spirits. There was no way that Yurpa or Ayoung could have disappeared without any countermeasures. She must have left something as a hint.”

“I’m looking for you.”

As she listened to her fantastic conversation with him, Anne covered her forehead with one hand as if she was absurd, then suddenly looked up at the sky and muttered in a voice full of her absurdity.

=How many hours did we spend in Warna? But why is the sky like that.=

=Noel…=

It was around 2:00 PM when I entered Warna.

Even if you spent about two hours inside, the sun should still be bright, but the sun is sinking to the western horizon and the sky is turning red.

Even though the late summer heat is starting to wane a little bit, the sun still sets after 6:00 p.M.

=Warna must have been a labyrinth of the rare time delay effect…=

“…”

Hwanin activated the power of Grimoam, stepped on the improved barrier panel, and in an instant jumped over the fjord cliff tens of meters high.

Then he slowly walks out to the coastal cliff and looks around the distant sea.

The souls that were made into heroic spirits did not return. It is not extinct either.

I can feel that I’m somewhere, but maybe it’s too far away? The senses are dim and faint, so the location or direction cannot be determined.

I guess it’s true that I’m still attached to them…

At that time, Hwanyeon, who was sitting on his shoulder, pointed a finger toward the distant sea.

“Hwanin, a mermaid from the other side of the sea is coming this way, chased by the naga family.”

“The two of you wait here.”

As I unfolded the improved panel to the minimum and ran towards the place pointed by Hwanyeon like walking in the air, I was able to find the mermaid she pointed to.

A mermaid swimming swiftly near the surface. Nagels, who are the fastest swimmers in the family, are chasing after them.

“Enjoyment.”

At the same time as he spoke, the mermaid rose up into the sky, trapped in a large water ball, and the Naga family, who were chasing the mermaid, poked their heads out of the water with dumb faces like a dog chasing a chicken.

What fell on the naga family was Hwanin’s enhanced soul explosion.

Wooooo-

When the soul orb, which is specialized for more physical power, exploded with maximum power according to Hwanin’s will, a spray of water stained with the blood of the Naga family burst and gushed out.

Things that lived and breathed in that range turned into hundreds or thousands of pieces of flesh and scattered in all directions.

Hwanin watched as the small fish that had escaped returned and ate fragments of the flesh of what had been Naga before returning to the nearby reef and standing on it.

The mermaid, who had been trapped in the water beads, was very nervous at the appearance of an unidentified human being, but finally regained her senses after being hit by a wave of peace spread by Hwanin.

The mermaid, who had a moment of bewilderment, might… He asked.

= I, maybe… You are Hwanin… ?=

“I am Hwanin. Fantastic, release me.”

At his instructions, the floating water beads explode and the mermaid inside falls into the sea.

The mermaid, which had been splashed and splashed with water, quickly lifted her upper body onto the reef where Hwanin stood and shouted.

= Hwanin! Yurpa asked for help! The monsters are coming and pulling the boat away! Baek Ryogang-nim said he could feel the energy of the dragon! I tried not to go, but as my friends were arrested… ! They said that I, a fast swimmer, had to get out and seek help from Hwanin-nim… !=

The mermaid struggled with his hands and shouted incoherently, but Hwanin roughly deduced the situation from that alone and sighed silently.

Should I say it’s out of luck or the timing is off?

Hwanin watched Anne and Isilite jump off the cliff and rushed toward them, then began questioning the mermaid to make sure his reasoning was correct.

“What is your name.”

=Hey, I’m Pisline!=

“Miss Pisline. So from what I understand…”

Pisline found a ship moored in the fjord with his friends.

=Yes! Liella said that there are land humans here and they give you something delicious… !=

“Yes. So while she was playing with her friends, monsters came from the sea. The monsters tried to pull the boat, and a battle broke out, and at that time, Mr. Pisline’s friends were caught and kidnapped.”

=At first, everyone fought very nicely! However… !=

At first, the women had shown the upper hand against the monsters throughout.

However, even while the monsters were being cut to pieces, the mermaids were kidnapped and escaped, and several monsters attached to the ship through a small gap in the fire net.

It was truly an instant for the rope made of the magic of the sea to be connected to the ship.

=That, that rope cannot be cut normally! As the rope connects to the boat, a huge monster outside pulls the rope… !=

The women were dragged into the sea in an instant and put at a crossroads of choice.

‘Yuri sister… I can feel Adnevila’s energy in that monster… !’
‘Seeing as they’re trying to drag the entire boat all the way to us, I don’t think their purpose is to kill us, right?’
‘How are you doing? Shall we abandon the ship?’

Will you abandon the ship and retreat or will you be dragged like this to protect the ship?

Yurpa chose to guard the ship.

Among the belongings of her party, Hwan-in keeps the most important things in Aspen, but the things she has are well worth thousands of gold coins, including phase stones, jewels, magic equipment materials, and crafted magic tools.

In addition, the carriage that served as the party’s vehicle throughout the trip, and the miniaturized Que deul, were also located in the cabin inside the ship.

‘They must have judged that it would be difficult to escape with the Que and their luggage while being dragged away at breakneck speed.’

Anne and Issilite sighed.

= I’m going crazy… Why did my sister make such a choice… !=

= It’s enough to buy things again…=

=The boat, the boat was pulled into the sea in an instant! It was Octacrocus who was pulling the boat… !=

Yurpa, who was being dragged by a gigantic octopus monster like the Kraken, activated the trumpeted magician among the various magic tools and magicians he had made to cope with all situations as the party’s mystic, and wrapped the hull in air bubbles.

Then, he handed out the mermaid’s breathing pills to everyone and cast a secret technique of strengthening on Pisline.

=I ran away to the fjord by myself, waited for Hwanin-sama to come… He asked for help when he came!=

When Hwanin, who had heard about her situation from Pisline, looked back at the women, Anne revealed her concerns openly and scratched her head.

= She thinks that her sister would not have chosen that she be taken away for no reason. =

“If you get off on the way, you will fall into the sea, and if monsters gather everywhere, a dangerous situation can unfold. In addition, the monsters with Adnevila’s energy that Baekryogang talked about would have been worried, and the other mermaids who were captured would have been worried too.”

= Ha…=

“I thought I was making this and that all the way here, but it seems that I was writing a magician with underwater combat in mind.”

= How? Even if there are so many different types of magical weapons, it’s not easy to create something like that without any knowledge.=

“Didn’t the Palatum royal family give you an advanced secret recipe and crafting tools? It was used by the royal family, and the booklet was thick.”

It wouldn’t be strange if there was a recipe for such a magical weapon.

“And as a last resort, there is the secret technique of leaping into space.”

= Ah… ! That’s right, the doryeong told me to update the coordinates here, right? I was so flustered that I forgot.=

“If you were dragged to that sea, the farthest place is hundreds of kilometers away. She said she could travel thousands of kilometers with a little effort, so she thinks it won’t be difficult to return to Jormunsen Island.”

It was only then that Isilite and Anne let out a sigh of relief.

When I heard that I was dragged away, my heart was really broken.

“Not only that. I don’t know if Yurpa did it or Ayeong did it, but he left a milestone.”

=Really?=

At the timing when Anne asks, a fairy tale flies in from the sea and is caught in her hand.

“It looks like he just scattered money while being dragged away. It was blown away by the current and scattered here and there, but I can see the general direction.”

= Then… For now, I’m glad.=

=Yes.=

Isilite and Anne let go of their worries a bit.

I want to ask her to go find her sister and her younger siblings right away, but night comes sooner or later.

The night sea… Originally, it is difficult to see in the sea, but the sea at night is even worse. In addition, at night, the monsters of the sea become more ferocious.

Here, it is best to wait for Hwanin’s judgment and follow his will.

The two women put their hands on their waists and waited for the story of Hwanin, who was staring at the sea on the horizon pouring rain with serious faces.

“… Not only sea creatures, but living things cannot be discussed except for sunlight.”

=… ?=

What are you talking about all of a sudden? I don’t understand for a moment, but he can’t talk white in this situation, so I listen carefully.

“Sea speed is the same. When sunlight shines into the sea, algae photosynthesize and generate oxygen, which increases the amount of dissolved oxygen in the sea.”

In this way, nutrients are enriched in the ecology of the surrounding sea and marine life gathers to form a good fishing ground.

When fish gather, large marine creatures that eat those fish inevitably gather, and when the ecosystem is built like that, there are more monsters and monsters that set foot in it.

“… In other words, the coastal waters of Jormundsen, where it has been raining for more than half a year, must be entering the stage of devastation.”

=…=
“…」

“Adneville is a being that has established itself at the top level among Shinsoo. It has a majestic glow, so as soon as an ordinary monster or monster touches that majesty, the chilgong spurts blood and dies. Since they settled in a place that wasn’t even a dragon’s nest, there must have been a massacre. It is unknown how the structure of the underwater monster food chain would have changed if the changes in the underwater ecosystem and the massacre were combined.”

“If you’re lucky, the sea will be empty, and if you’re unlucky, a super-large monster could have crawled in and settled down after the corpse.”

“Okay. Octacrocus, who is said to have pulled the boat, might be a guy who has established himself like that.”

At Hwanin’s explanation, the women’s expressions hardened again.

He caressed the cheeks of such lovers and explained them by relaxing their expressions.

“There is an element of anxiety about starting right now. No matter how much Hwan-yeon merged with Relais, starting as it is puts a lot of burden on Hwan-yeon. So let’s wait for Elder Sijahan and her disciples to come and set off when they arrive.”

Elder Mermaid, a rare class of 7th or 8th class, and her students should be able to help out in an unexpected situation.

Isilite and Anne nodded slightly at the Hwanin’s story.

His face, which always had an expressionless expression or a calm expression, was also quite hard. She must be worried about her older sister and younger siblings as much as herself.

How could I show my nervousness in front of him like that?

“Mr. Pisline.”

=Yes, yes?=

“Would you please go back to Warna right now and tell Elder Sijahan Viat as soon as possible?”

=Oh, yes!=

In Warna, time passes half as slowly as outside. A job she could take even a day or two if she prepared leisurely.

= Wait, you’re hurt. Get healed and go.=

=Thank you!=

Physline, who was healed of her wounds by Anne and even recharged by her phantom, swam into the fjord like a bullet.

Five hours after Pisline’s disappearance, when the sun had set and the moon was rising high, Elder Sijahan came to the fjord with three disciples.

= I apologize for being late. It’s too late to get the information organized by Elder Nura.=

“No.”

Shi Jahan, who finished all the preparations and came out in less than three hours, is amazing.

The scale armor she wears over her body is an off-white color that goes very well with her white-yellow hair, and even her breastplate is made of some bones on her shoulder rests, so it could be classified as a top-notch magician.

There, holding a coral spear that looks similar to Unwoldo, the strength of one hundred per cent is conveyed.

Not only she, but also her three mermaids, who are said to be her students, are equipped with similar equipment, two are 4th and 5th class shooters, and one is a high-level elementalist who handles water spirits.

At least Sijahan was a warrior who could be compared to Isili Te or Anne in the water, so it was not a waste of waiting for her for five hours.

= Ugh. Something like that happened. It was a good decision to wait for me and her students. From now on, my disciples and I will practice Asinim.=

“By the way, this is Hwanyeon, one of the three you saw earlier. She is able to perform semi-superlative level spirit art by combining with Lillice, a super level water spirit. I hope you can refer to it and coordinate your opinions.”

When the current situation is explained in a short, simple, and easy-to-understand manner, Hwan-yeon emits fire and evil without adding or subtracting the spirit power.

Sijahan broke into a cold sweat at the presence of her, similar to the mermaid queen but different in her lineage, and her apprentice, her elemental sage, looked half-fainted.

For her, who barely made a contract even with her superior, the presence of her superlative level spirit beyond her superlative level was enough to blow her consciousness at the moment.

“I’ll take care of Hwanin, Isilite, and Annu, so I’ll ask Elder Sijahan to check on the safety of the surroundings.”

= I will. Then let’s go… May I depart?=

“Please.”

Hwan-in, who properly tuned the parts that could collide, distributed mermaid’s breathing pills to Isilite and Anne while Hwan-yeon made a fish-shaped boat.

A cloth with a message written on it was tied to a small sandy beach inside the fjord, near the place where Yurpa updated the coordinates.

Even if the roads diverge and the girls return by leaping into space, if they find it, they will wait patiently on the island.

Hwanin and the two women jumped into the sea with Elder Sijahan on a water boat made by Hwanyeon.
