Chapter 810 – 801 Chevron’s Undersea Labyrinth
The search for the undersea labyrinth could not proceed quickly in many respects.
First of all, it is an environmental problem, since it is in the water, it is difficult to walk even 1m in 10 seconds by walking normally. In the first place, the floor is full of corals, so you can’t walk.
It is said that it becomes faster when it swims, but compared to walking on land, it is as slow as a turtle.
Even so, when the current is applied, they are often pushed backward rather than swimming forward.
Hwanin, who entered the labyrinth area at the edge of the labyrinth, was the first to notice this fact and entrusted Ayeong, Kim Cheol-soo, and Kim Young-soo to the disciples of Elder Sijahan.
It’s the same as if you’re riding on the backs of your disciples, the movement speed limit disappears. Furthermore, being with the mermaid makes it easier to renew the air bubbles.
Isilite and Anne do not require underwater assistance.
They show unbelievable movements even underwater. By expressing phase power outside the body, it lowers the resistance of water, while simultaneously exhaling phase force with the soles of its feet to show off turning and maneuvering.
Long-distance movement is incomparable to mermaids, but in battle, it can move short distances with instant acceleration comparable to mermaids, revealing its fighting power.
Is it because Baek Ryogang’s body is Yongin? When the activity began in earnest in the water, it showed tremendous adaptation to the water within 10 minutes.
Every time blue light flowed from the horn, it accelerated, decelerated, and turned freely, and something similar to gills appeared on its neck, enabling it to breathe underwater.
The speed of swimming in the water was such that even those mermaids could fold it, but there is a mystery palace that slightly deviated from the laws of physics, so its skills were displayed without regret.
Minor 1st and 2nd grade heterogeneous species were pierced by the mysterious palace without even a chance to approach and died instantly, and crustacean heterogeneous species that rushed like her torpedoes with ignorant defenses were often shattered in front of her strength like a dragon.
=Hot!=
Baek Ryo-gang, who gracefully evaded the charge of the third-class sea turtle Heo Hyeong-jong, which was launched like a torpedo, slams her fist down at her shell.
Kujik!
Currrr… !
Heterogeneous turtles whose carapaces were shattered vomited out their entrails and slowly sank, while on the other side, the three-eyed defense was smashed by Anne’s warhammer and sank with a flutter.
Hwanin, who watched the scene with the assistance of the water spirit, looked around into the terrifyingly blue water.
The colorful fish that ran away in a brief battle came back and ate the flesh or organs of the dead heterogeneous species.
A sight created by familiarity, as if eating by-products of the fights of heterogeneous species several times.
Unlike Krabin’s swamp labyrinth, it is completely open, and it is a landscape in which heteromorphic species and other common creatures coexist, like the forest labyrinth near Yulkam.
While the women were fighting for a while, Elder Sijahan, who had been looking around, spoke to Isilite and Anne.
= Everyone. I can feel about three strong heterogeneous auras over there. I think it might be around the 5th level.=
= If there… It’s where the seagull is. But there are dark colors and light colors. What is the difference?
When Isilite unfolded her leather map and checked it, Anne answered.
= Depth is indicated by color. Here, the black one is the deepest, and the light one is shallow on the contrary.
Is it? Raising her head and looking around her, Issilite noticed a small towering reef covered with coral reefs, and murmured, “Sure.”
That reef was also marked on the map, but on the map it was not a dark color, but the same blue color as the outside of the labyrinth.
The women, who moved in the direction of the trench for a moment, could see, indeed, a wide, huge pit with a gaping black mouth like a sinkhole.
It’s so wide that it feels like a valley, and the bottom is like an abyss, so you can’t see anything.
= Hey, Yeongsoo. Can you see the floor in spatial perception?=
“… The form is very complex. And something inside… I think the current is very fast and strong. It would be perfect for me to become a water ghost if I went down without knowing it.”
Kim Young-soo explains the shape of the trench inside with hand gestures and foot gestures, but the meaning is barely conveyed because the explanation is crude.
One thing is for sure, if you go in carelessly, you will be in big trouble.
Anne borrowed the power of her Rumo and threw an orb of light the size of her fist into the trench.
Despite her small size, Rumo’s bond with Anne strengthens and at the same time her strength grows stronger, and she has regained her intermediate level.
The party swallows their saliva as they watch as the light orb descends while lightly illuminating the hundreds-meter-wide trench.
It was then.
“Uh. Uh?! Something’s up!! Fast!!”
=… ! Everyone stay away from the trench!=
At the same time as Kim Young-soo’s cry, Anne, who saw two gloomy lights rising from the depths of the trench at the end of the light source, screamed.
The women hurriedly moved away from Haikou, and Ah-young quickly put the advanced protection she had loaded on everyone in her party.
And Kim Cheol-soo gritted his teeth.
The bigger the creature, the more severe the aftermath is in the surroundings whenever it moves.
For example, if a fighter jet flies close to the surface of a city at the speed of Mach, regardless of whether it is possible to fly in terms of atmospheric science, the roof of the building will be peeled off at that speed and the shock wave.
It’s the same context, but the aftermath is even worse in the water.
Water becomes a medium and transmits physical power to all directions.
What will happen when that huge monster comes out of the trench at terrifying speed?
An invisible vortex accompanied by strong physical force will turn into a whirlpool and swallow the surroundings.
Not only can the formation be messed up, but the posture can also be broken, allowing attacks to be defenseless. Sister Isilite and sister Anne are safe, but… !
In any case, despite the chilling fear in his heart, Kim Chul-soo clenched his teeth and spread the dimensional sever wide to cover the trench.
It is impossible to completely cover it, but it is possible to spread it out so that large creatures cannot escape.
It was at that moment that something terrifyingly gigantic crashed into the wall that had been opened by the dimensional severance.
Kwaaaaang-!!
“Kuuk… !”
When the dimensional wall is hit by a big shock, Kim Cheol-soo let out a choking scream. The impact on his powers flowed backwards, shaking his chest.
The shock spread heavily through water for a while, and the dimensional wall that blocked the first unidentified charge was eventually shattered by the second charge, and Kim Cheol-soo half-blinded at the returned repulsive force.
However, the efforts were not in vain, and the owner of the trench at the 4 o’clock direction of the labyrinth, the appearance shock wave of the 7th class giant deformed species was completely suppressed.
A gigantic monster that broke the dimensional wall slides out of the trench and glares at the party with eyes burning with rage.
It had a black and bald head about 100 meters in diameter, 300 white eyes of a terrible level, and a serrated-toothed snout equal to that of an angler.
The mermaid carrying the fainting Cheol-soo on his back hurriedly departed, and Isilite and Anne rushed at the angry angler fish.
“…”
After Hwanin left the hideout of the Rijina Lake, he contemplated the abilities of Asin.
It is important to break through the labyrinth within 30 days and wake up Adnevila to overturn the Merianol, but it is also important to review your ability so that you do not accidentally show your prestige.
‘It seems that the gods will keep an eye on me if I use divine power and law power.’
There is no benefit to receiving God’s attention. The benevolent god seems to be exceptionally benevolent, but there is no guarantee that other gods will be so.
The women also noticed that fact and told them to leave the labyrinth breakthrough to themselves.
From some distance away, Hwanin watched Isilite, Anne, Baekryokang and Shijahan fight the 7th-level monster, Anglerfish Gomchi, the size of a skyscraper, with her eyes half-closed.
‘You know… Even if they are sub-gods, they seem to be a bit different from those divine beings.’
The more I review my ability, the more I keep thinking that this is really God’s ability.
To be precise, Hwanin feels that those who are called assins in Nionebreth are not gods, but gods and men who have transcended humanity and reached the end of the realm.
In a word, the direct, chief servant of a high-ranking aristocrat… So, it’s like a butler.
A job that is not aristocratic, but the longer you have experience, the more you learn about aristocrats than aristocrats.
Being close to a god and taking care of him, he awakens to his divine power, gains the power of law, and achieves deification, but does not become a true god.
New man.
The reason I thought this was because I felt the presence of God of Mercy with my sixth sense beyond my five senses.
His senses were talking. In the realm of God, even the dead can be raised.
Furthermore, the ability to create a realm in an unknown universe-like space, the ability to project the eyes of a god in the sky, and the ability to bring a soul into the realm of authority.
Besides that, Hwanin felt it with his sixth sense.
God… The loving-kindness god knows all omni things, including the laws, laws and providences of the world, and can manipulate them.
「Hwanin. Your thoughts look complicated.”
“… It would be hasty to make judgments only after meeting the God of Loving God… As you said, things that make you think complicated things are disturbing your heart.”
Aaaaa!!
An anglerfish moray roared with part of its head cut off, including its left eye, by Isilite’s super-giant sword force.
The roar filled with phase power rides the water and vibrates the body to shake the internal organs, so the women protect their bodies with phase power while moaning briefly.
Hwanin projected his ferocious planting mind at the roar of the angler fish that disturbed his thoughts.
… Ahhh-… ?!
The reason that had been volatilized by intense pain and rage returns to its place in an instant due to the projection of Hwanin’s presence.
During the days of minnows, the fear that he felt when he first saw a huge ratfish in a crevice of coral seized the angler moray’s nerves.
Such fear inevitably brought about the paralysis of the angler fish.
=Haha!=
Chuwak—!
In the blink of an eye, the thick neck of the anglerfish moray eel was cut through the bone by the huge light sword.
Isilite, who launched a special move with a greatsword of light that reached 10m, looked at the head of the anglerfish moray eel quietly falling into the trench and stored her multi-sword skill and let out a small sigh.
Anne approaches her and says,
=Huh~ Dew’s special move is really cool. I said I was careless, but I cut that big guy’s head at once.
= You are more handsome. You didn’t let that guy get out of the trench while perfectly blocking his torso headbutt.=
= Well, I’m not the only one who did it. If Bell hadn’t flinched by shooting the main body with the mystery palace, he would have been greatly pushed back?=
Anne looked at her back and whispered to her.
=Didn’t the doryeong shoot Shinwi earlier?=
=Even though his eyes and part of his head were cut, he stopped screaming and stiffened. The master must have done it.=
=It is known that if it is a 7th grade heterogeneous species, it is said that it will break even Shinsoo, but it is really surprising that such a monster was scared even for an instant.=
=Because the owner is not a god, but a god.=
Of course.
Before leaving the hiding place, she recalled the fragment of a god he had shown her briefly.
While she was speaking, she changed it to normal, but what she said at the beginning was definitely a piece of knowledge.
If you project it sincerely, divine intervention… ? It might not be as much as that, but wouldn’t it be possible to suppress mortals as much as possible?
At that time, Kim Young-soo, who jumped up and appeared near them with a leap in space, reported.
“Sister Anne. I took a look inside the trench. I don’t think there is a divine beast called the White Blue Dragon in the winding passage.”
=Did you go inside?=
“Yes. Where the monster Gomchi was… So it’s only wide this way, and the rest of the aisle is so narrow that people can barely get in.”
=Didn’t you see a crystal-like transparent gem?=
“There were some moray eel monster cubs, but nothing else.”
=Then it’s not the 4 o’clock trench. Next I have to go to the 6 o’clock side of the sea. =
The women quickly cleaned up the corpse of the angler fish.
Cut and store places that can be eaten roughly, and scan the corpse with a search tool to see if there is a phase stone.
In the meantime, Anne, who found a red phase stone the size of a 7th grade fist in the heart of an anglerfish, gave a small cheer.
When she heard it, the gathered party were also delighted.
A 7th grade phase stone, isn’t it a treasure among treasures whose market price is not set? Even so, if you sell it, you can get a four-digit gold coin.
Ah-young was enchanted by her brilliant 7th-level phase stone, then looked back at her older sisters and asked, as if she had suddenly remembered them.
=Come to think of it, you can’t use a phase stone if you go over to Earth, right?=
=I can use it, but when I use it, the energy decreases quickly…=
= So. I think we should dispose of all the phase stones before moving to Earth.=
When Ah-yeong responded to the story of Baekryeo-gang, Anne answered by handing over her phase stone.
= If Yul is the older sister, she seems to be able to improve that too, so wouldn’t she have to dispose of the phase stone? She got tons of gold from Niamad. Doryeong said that he was extremely rich on Earth.=
= Huh. Really? To the point of using the modifier that her brother is amazing… I can’t guess which one.=
The women laughed a little at her joke.
The group that came out of the 4 o’clock side trench did not get attacked by heterogeneous species even once while moving towards the 6 o’clock side trench.
No, Hyungjong Lee disappeared altogether. There were many creatures that were not heteromorphic species, but it seemed that heteromorphic species had all escaped from the anglerfish’s roar.
= I heard that the heterogeneous species in the open labyrinth act like normal animals, but it’s true…=
Anne told the story of Baekryeogang, who was watching schools of yellow tropical fish peacefully group together, about the knowledge she had learned at the church.
=There is a saying that the reason why the heteromorphic species of the labyrinth attacks intruders with question and answer dance is because of mental infringement. Also, as you all know, mental invasion is the energy that the labyrinth sends out. In the closed labyrinth, the mental invasion never fades, but in the open labyrinth, isn’t it different?
= It’s open, so even the heterogeneous species get scared like normal creatures… ?=
= Yes. Earlier, Youngsoo said that there were many pups in the Anglerfish Trench. When I think about it, I think you’re right. The fact that such a heterogeneous species gives birth means that the instinct of a creature has sprouted.
Indeed…
Tens of minutes later. The women who arrived at the trench at 6 o’clock, wary of their surroundings, hung out their tongues as they looked down at a wider and darker area than the trench where the angler moray eel was located.
A place where ocean currents and fine sand constantly flow like a waterfall in the sea into a dark space.
It is a sight that no sane mind would ever want to enter.
Anne, who naturally took on the role of temporary leader of the group, checked the face of Hwan-in, who was getting more and more serious behind her, and she looked back at the group and asked,
= After all, it would be better to check outside rather than go inside, right?=
“Yes. This time, I think it would be better to be vigilant and throw light orbs.”
Anne nodded her head at Cheol-soo Kim’s opinion.
= I’ll keep that in mind. Yeongsoo, does the spatial perception reach the bottom of this trench?=
“No. At all…”
To make up for the mistake of missing the heteromorph in the anglerfish moray trench earlier, he gritted his teeth and inspected each detail, but the bottom of the trench was out of his detection range.
With an expression that she couldn’t help it, Anne said as she fixed her warhammer and shield.
=Everyone prepare for battle. I’m nervous because I don’t know what’s going to happen, and if there’s a wide area attack pouring around or if there’s a group that looks dangerous, I block it well with a dimensional wall. Youngsoo leaps into space and evacuates to a safe zone when he sees a dangerous party.
“Yes.”
“Old, sister.”
Because Isilite, Baek Ryogang, Ayoung, and Shi Jahan do well without saying anything.
As they looked into each other’s eyes and nodded, Ah-yeong applied advanced protective spells to each of them, and Baek Ryo-gang expanded her mystery palace into a long bow, giving strength to her shoulders.
Anne also forced her Lu Mo into her body, boosting her physical abilities to the fullest, then looked around her before she tossed the orb of light into her trench.
The party settled down on a coral reef plain far from the trench and finished preparing for battle.
With a small nod of her head, Anne threw her prepared light orb into the deep blue hole-like deep trench.
An orb of light descending slowly, actually fast, but as if slowly descending, illuminating the surroundings.
=… !=
It was then that she caught sight of a monster with a whitish outline moving slowly at the bottom of the trench.
A disgusting and repulsive sight, as if a ball of light acted as a decoy, a myriad of dim things wriggling and entangling.
The moment she grabbed the Warhammer tightly, the orb of light illuminated the monster’s shape, and when she learned the monster’s identity, Anne shouted loudly and ran away from the trench.
=Octa Crocus!!=
Octa Crocus. A large octopus monster with crocus flower-shaped fins wrapped around its body.
The moment Baek Rye-gang and A-young, two Kims, nervously bit their lips, having experienced being pulled over by a guy who was at least 7th grade, maybe even 8th grade.
Koo Kung— Doo Quoong—…
Three massive cephalopod legs, the color and texture of the deep abyss, soared like giant columns and struck the edge of the trench. No, raised to the edge.
Then, from the side of the trench, a giant slowly emerges… Octopus head.
It’s huge. It was so gigantic that it seemed to occupy an entire trench hundreds of meters wide with only its body.
Women are hardened to the size that the size of a blue whale can be eaten as a meal.
In their heads, ‘It’s too big even if it’s big…’ … A thought like this naturally came to mind, and it was the moment when the party took the mermaid’s breath jelly at Anne’s signal to eat the mermaid’s breath.
“I’m sorry everyone. You must have been prepared for battle.”
=Uh.=
=Oh, master?=
“Older brother?”
With the help of Hwan-yeon, Hwan-in moves toward Octo Crocus like a ghost.
After witnessing countless golden grains floating around his body, the party opened their mouths slightly and made stupid faces about what happened afterwards.
—————…
Each golden light flies all at once to Octa Crocus, leaving behind a light like a tail of a comet.
Sensing a sense of danger from the banquet of light grains, Octa Crocus swung his building-sized legs, and countless golden grains touched the legs exploded… Octa Crocus’s legs have disappeared.
No, the grains of light exploded and the part they touched disappeared as if it were melting into water.
———!!!!
As the octa crocus wriggles wildly as if surprised, white, red, and yellow colors alternately and rapidly repeat dizzyingly on the leather that was like the black night sky.
If you enter the city and turn around once, the village seems to disappear as it is, and flowers of indescribable light continue to bloom thousands and tens of thousands of times silently.
Aaaaa…
The roar that Octa Crocus spits out was only fear, not pain.
The roar, which seemed to continue endlessly, faded every time 10 seconds and 20 seconds passed, then stopped completely, and the flowers of light stopped blooming in time.
=… Uh, it’s gone.=
=Octa Crocus is gone…=
And the women muttered blankly at the sight of Octa Crocus disappearing without a trace.
Countless hooks pop up in the mind of the party.
Where is Octa Crocus? Was it erased by the master’s technique?
I think my brother just said that you shouldn’t use your spiritual power on the ground…
That was Doryeong’s new soul arrow… ? No. It must be a new-style soul explosion.
Why did my brother suddenly step out? You looked serious earlier. Is there a reason for that?
I think you can just erase the marianol by yourself, but do you need our help?
Anne, who had been distracted for a moment, approached Hwanin with a hard expression along with the women and asked.
= Doryeong. Earlier that…=
“For a moment. Everyone has something to say. It’s outside You too come here.”
Hwanin, who even invited the hesitant Kim Chul-soo and Kim Young-soo, opened his mouth with a firm face.
“A communication came in from Yeongdo. It is said that the Church of the Land God of the capital Passage rose up and declared a doctrine test against the Central Council and the eight royal families, and the combat troops of the Church surrounded the Central Council.”
Anne and Ayoung’s mouths opened wide.
The church worshiping that god attacked the royal family that worships that god?
“This is not the time to procrastinate. The meeting whose roots have been exposed can do crazy things, so we must find Adneville as soon as possible and then head to Passage.”
= Oh, yes. Okay. But where is Adnevilla-sama…=
“I caught the traces of Adnevila’s power with Shinan. The trail leads to the center of the labyrinth, so go straight there.”
As soon as Hwanin’s story is over, an intermediate level water spirit appears and leads them by the hand.
Anne, who was momentarily paralyzed by the busy movement, regained her senses and asked her Hwanin again.
= Doryeong. I understand your urgency, but it’s close to a thousand kilometers from here to Passage. Even if I finish my work here, wouldn’t it be too late considering the distance to Passage? The church will capture those who have lost consciousness, so if you visit them slowly…=
“That is rather optimistic. I said earlier. The apostles of each capital city can be the champions of God.”
In this situation where we do not know exactly what kind of skills the Kyolmyeonghoe has, if the Gyeolmyeonghoe goes crazy and causes an accident, and the apostle dies or gets seriously injured as a result…
“The apocalypse by the gods will come fast.”
…
Anne, who had been frozen for a moment in understanding, opened her mouth, and a trembling voice came out.
= Joe, the end? Are you talking about the end of the world?=
“Okay.”
While reviewing and verifying his abilities and the reason for his existence, Hwanin kept thinking about the reason why the god of love let go of him.
According to Draunil’s attitude, it was the first time for Draunil, who worked as a servant of the gods for thousands of years, that a god had let go of a lower god.
The response, the behavior of the god of love, the existence of the apostles and the information about the god spread throughout the world, the church’s interest in the god…
When these were mixed and the interests and actions of those called gods were added to the world, only one conclusion came out.
‘The five gods, including the god of love, intend to reset this world.’
I don’t know when that will happen. But one thing is certain.
When the messenger of the gods in each city dies, the attention of the gods will completely depart from Nionebreth, and the arrival of the apocalypse will undoubtedly be hastened.
= Then, what do you do?! We need to contact Leawen right now and stop the actions of the Church of the Land Gods… !=
Anne’s voice cracks at how embarrassed she is.
“I have already taken action. She asked the Great Saint to buy time by contacting the other four major churches, and the troops of the Land God Church are still besieging the central castle, so there is time.”
= Ah… !=
“And my clone, which I manifested in super space-time, is looking down at the passage. What I need to do now is to stop the uncertain element of the downpour, which contains her good power, and focus on the double body that has manifested the power of the main body in the passage. So…”
Hwan-in saw countless Lee Hyeong-jong rising from the central trench of the labyrinth and said coldly while preparing the spirit wine.
“Right now, finding the damn white blue dragon that doesn’t show up even in this commotion and catching him by the collar is the most urgent thing.”
