Chapter 254 – Wavelength
All the luxurious furnishings in the room were smashed or scattered on the ground.
It was a mess.
A corpse of a warlock whose head was smashed by a magic spear.
And five heads rolling on the floor.
The headless warlocks and Jerome’s corpse were scattered around, creating a scene of a bloody murder scene.
I glanced over the corpses and looked at the system window.
There were 5 skill points.
The quest to deal with the Demon King’s followers received in the Labyrinth.
One skill point per horse.
It matched the number of black magicians.
‘I must assume he’s dead, right?’
But it’s strange.
There is such a big commotion, but no one in the clan comes to see the situation.
“…”
I spread my senses and looked inside the building.
There were no people inside the building.
‘What is this…Everyone left the building?’
I think it was quite a while before I came here…
His boss was attacked… But he evacuated.
This is not a matter of loyalty.
Was it talked about beforehand?
‘Should I see that?’
It can be seen that Jerome believed in the warlocks.
The adventurers belonging to the clan might not have known of the existence of the warlock.
Warlocks are those who are largely excluded from this world.
But I dug a trap with them and waited.
Jerome probably didn’t want to show the existence of the warlock to his clan members. Maybe that’s why he gave the order to get out of the fight beforehand.
But, Jerome, man.
He’s a guy who has shown considerable regenerative ability.
I feel like I died unexpectedly easily.
I was remembering
The leader of the black magicians caught in the labyrinth.
His bizarre yet extremely tough vitality.
So, I was looking to see if there would be any reaction from this guy.
But… There was no sign of coming back to life.
Looks like he wasn’t like him before…
I wondered if he would survive even if he was decapitated due to the considerable regenerative power he showed in the previous battle…
However, I have no intention of waiting endlessly to check the status.
It should be finished slowly.
Still, he can’t just go, just in case.
I took out an incendiary grenade from my inventory.
I had some fun with the flesh monster in the zombie world, so when he went to the original world, he had a supply of mortar shells and incendiary grenades.
He threw an incendiary grenade at the dead warlocks.
Of course, he meticulously threw an incendiary grenade at Jerome’s corpse.
The flames of the incendiary grenade covered the body and began to spread in all directions.
The leader of one of the biggest adventurers’ organizations in Slumber was holding hands with a warlock.
What about the other guild masters?
Are they also related to the warlock?
It smelled of conspiracy.
But whether I should dig into it is another matter.
Did the manager of this world see my meeting with the warlock?
I guess I’ve seen it somehow.
Wouldn’t it have upset you if you saw it?
I think there must be quite a few messages from the manager of Pantera… But I blocked the messages he sends before because they were annoying.
‘Let’s see… ? No, let’s not look.’
I thought about it for a while, but I chose not to see it either.
It seemed like you would regret it.
I looked around.
The fire had spread and the surrounding area was roaring.
I didn’t mean to make it so loud…
Still, the assassination was successful.
Everyone who saw me died, so it was an assassination anyway.
And there is still work left to do.
Through the hole in the ceiling I entered, I climbed onto the roof.
Smoke was rising from all sides of the building as the fire spread rapidly.
With telekinesis, he lifted his body into the sky.
In the dark night beneath my feet, I could see the Dark Blood Clan House burning roaring red. Beneath it, the clan members were restless as they watched the burning clan buildings.
I took out a wad of paper from my inventory.
It’s a flyer
A leaflet showing the location of the entrance cave on the 11th floor of the labyrinth.
It was printed using Suni.
She has never been to the Labyrinth.
At the time I went to the labyrinth, Sunni was in her spirit seed. So I made a flyer to look into my memory.
It flew over the city and scattered countless bundles of leaflets to the ground.
Leaflets fly like snow and fall to the ground.
The information at the entrance on the 11th floor of the labyrinth is valuable.
The information would be quite valuable.
Even if I had surplus magic stones, I was not short of money.
The behavior of the guys who tried to control the hunting ground by controlling information was disgusting.
I was thinking of giving a fuck to the guild guys who blocked the entrance cave on the 11th floor of the labyrinth by spreading information that I couldn’t control.
It was obvious that they would have built a fort again, since they were such scandalous bullies.
But if I spread leaflets like this, it will be difficult to rebuild the fortress I destroyed.
Originally, this was what I planned to do when I came out of the labyrinth.
But I forgot because Albert did a shocking thing to ask Charles to become his disciple.
I decided to do just this for now.
Even if it was like this, I thought I’d show you when I saw it properly if you didn’t know the fountain.

The Dark Blood Clan House was engulfed in flames.
Jerome’s office, covered in flames.
A black magician wearing a black robe opened a portal and appeared.
It was Isaac.
He was watching the situation through Jerome’s eyes.
“Tsk…That was an absurd error of judgment… This is a high-ranking wizard? He was a Transcendentalist.”
I saw Jerome’s corpse on fire.
His face frowned on its own.
He was a suitable person who was found by spraying potions for a long time.
What about non-fit people?
Become a monster and roam the labyrinth, eating adventurers or being hunted.
“Huh… Before long, it would have been a shameless offering to him… The loss is too great… But I’ll have to use what’s left over. There’s nothing I can do about it.”
It is a sacrifice that has been raised for nearly 7 years.
It could have been regenerated even when its head was cut off, but it was meaningless in front of the Transcendentalist, so it was left alone.
As he stirs his hand, the fire around him fades.
But the fire of the corpse does not go out.
“What is it? New burn magic?”
It may be the magic of the transcendent.
Isaac cut the flesh from the corpse where it was difficult to put out the fire, and then the fire went out.
Then he took Jerome’s charred corpse and the corpses of the black magicians and disappeared as they were.

Three men were sitting around a large round table.
A cold-looking man with white hair and dark skin.
Master of Karim Guild, Payaz.
Benjamin, the Master of the Gold Hands Guild with a generous look.
And a handsome middle-aged man with brown hair and blue eyes, Master Conrad of the Tri Guild.
They are the masters of the three largest guilds in Slumber.
There were four chairs, but one seat was empty.
It was the seat of Master Jerome of the Dark Blood Clan.
He is missing
Even though one big competitor had disappeared, their faces were tense.
“Is that… A wizard?”
Benjamin was the first to speak.
“..I guess…”
Jerome grandiosely told the guild masters to control the surroundings by attacking the high-ranking wizard, but…
Surprisingly nothing happened.
And soon after, the Dark Blood Clan House burned down and Jerome went missing.
Probably died
Besides, the wizard did not stop there, but scattered the location of the entrance on the 11th floor everywhere.
Although there is no evidence that he did.
Circumstances were so.
“Tsk … He was confident, he knew there would be something, but he touched it for nothing…”
Benjamin was annoyed.
The high wizard came out of the labyrinth and lived quietly as if nothing had happened.
Judging from that, it seems that he intended to keep quiet.
But Jerome touched it and it seems that he got angry.
And the man who actually caused the accident threw a big lump of shit and disappeared.
I can’t even dream of building a fort there again.
Since the location has been revealed to the world, quite a few adventurers will flock to it.
If it’s just one or two parties…
No further control was possible.
There was also a cause for the lord to intervene.
There was a high possibility that the lords would build a fortress where they had built it.
Nominally, the labyrinth belonged to the lord…
Originally, the fortress was built without the knowledge of the lord.
And I was secretly fighting with the lord whom I discovered later, but it all became meaningless.
“It’s sparking fire for us too…”
Conrad said anxiously.
We’re talking about the high mage’s revenge.
Although he wasn’t directly involved in the attack on the wizard’s mansion… It wasn’t without the possibility.
“My head hurts…”
The masters of the three guilds were worried that the high-ranking mage’s anger would lead to the guilds they run.

The mansion of Count Harold, Lord of Slumber.
“High Mage?”
Earl Harold was told by his vassal, Baron Kenneth, that he could not be ignored.
When I heard that the labyrinthine fortress secretly built by the adventurers’ guild had collapsed, I felt refreshed, as if a stool that had been there for days had been pierced.
However, the person who destroyed the fortress was Unho, a high-ranking wizard with no affiliation.
And Jerome, the master of the Dark Blood clan, touched the high-ranking wizard, causing the clan house to burn and disappear.
Maybe he was caught by a wizard…
Even if that wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t be a very good situation.
A high ranking wizard with no affiliation.
Count Harold was naturally coveted.
However, the high-ranking wizard’s nose is quite high.
At least a marquis or a duke should be in order not to be ignored.
Even if you become a middle-ranking wizard, you will receive the title of baron, and if you become a high-ranking wizard, you will receive the title of count.
Of course, it’s not a title with the same fiefdom as yourself, but…
– Talk tok.
Earl Harold tapped the handle of his chair with his fingertips. It is his habit when he is troubled.
Until now, the story of no affiliation… It was expected that the wizard would not be very interested in power.
Recruitment was highly unlikely.
But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t stay still, only sucking his finger.
