Episode 414 Bad Relationship (4)
Day 62 Entering the Labyrinth The dragon’s deepest place.
It was around 30 minutes before the portal connected to the 8th floor.
「The ring has sensed the fate of the character.」
The light of the traffic light ring turned on.
“Mister, that red light!”
So you’re saying there’s only negative events in front of me?
I thought it would have a bit of green mixed in though.
It makes people feel down.
“…What can I do? Shouldn’t I turn around right now?”
Erwen muttered in an anxious voice.
Of course, until now, when the red light on the ring turns on or Sven Farab’s sixth sense activates, he immediately changes direction and avoids the event.
But…
“Erwen now, changing the destination won’t change anything.”
“That’s… that’s true…”
The whole place was covered with red flames.
Even if we tried to escape to another place, the flames would gradually narrow the area and block our breath.
There is only one way to escape the flames.
All you have to do is risk everything and get over the flames before it’s too late.
“What’s going on with Parav?”
At that time, the goblin who came next to me blurted out his words with a shy face.
“I… I felt the safest next to the captain…”
I feel a little bit offended, but I look after him.
It is true that it has helped a lot so far.
“So how are you feeling now?”
“You’re out of breath. It’s like going into a burning forest.”
“Really? But for some reason, he didn’t say anything. He always said to run away to another place.”
“It’s true… I feel ominous, but I keep thinking that this path is right.”
yes that’s right
“It’s a portal soon. Everyone speed up!”
Soon I posted a last-minute spurt.
and how long has it been
“It’s a portal!”
In the distance, I could see the portal shimmering and scattering multicolored lights.
And…
“……the enemy!”
Enemies are visible through the sight secured by the light of the portal as a light source.
A detached team of about 40 people.
They too were on their way to the portal.
“They are the kings!!”
“You really came this way!”
They screeched when they spotted us, just as we saw them.
How did you know about this place?
The moment I had such a question, I saw a familiar face among the enemies.
“You bastard…!!”
Dragon Slayer Regal Vagos.
“Yes, I knew you would come this way!”
As much as I know you, you know a little about me.
It’s a really tough relationship—
“That’s all for running away like a rat!”
What are you talking about, the subject has just arrived.
Anyone who hears it will think it’s completely blocked the way.
‘Good job speeding up.’
I congratulated myself for the judgment I had made 20 minutes ago.
If the ring emits red light, if we hesitated even a little, they would have already stopped us.
He must have made a huge sacrifice.
“What are you waiting for! Run!”
Move your legs with all your might beyond the last spurt.
The current composition is simple.
The expedition heads east towards the portal.
The dragon slayer and his friends… In short, the dragon slayer is running north toward the portal.
“Run aaaaaaaaa!!”
Whoever arrives first has a huge advantage.
But is that because the other side knows?
The Dragon Slayer also ran desperately, closing the distance from the portal.
But…
‘Okay, we’re faster.’
It is a fact that we can recognize at a glance that we are closer to portals by current standards.
“What the hell are you all doing! Attack!”
In order to somehow keep us in check, the Dragon Slayer team began firing at long range.
It was a means that could be done because there were a lot of people.
It must have been the judgment that the long distances who needed to be cast in place would only be kept in check from afar, while melee fighters who were good at hand-to-hand combat would occupy the portal.
Whiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Do-do-do-do-do-do.
After that, it feels like you’ve come to a real battlefield.
Numerous arrows and supernatural powers rained down from the sky like rain.
“What are you doing! Don’t move faster! If you fall behind, it’s the end!”
“All legs have strength…!”
“Hey, I’m going crazy! Damn it, uphisho!”
“But…”
“Come on!”
It was about this kind of wide-area deal that I was able to hold on and move forward with my bare body, but not all crew members were like that.
“Cheuk-!”
A crewman being wounded by a blind arrow.
And…
“Hold on! I’ll treat you soon!”
Another member of the crew carrying such an injured person on his back.
‘If Nimiral continues like this, a few more people will die here alone…’
It was a time when I felt myself tightening my chin at the thought.
A shadow with the outline of a woman rises above us as we run hard.
「Erwen Fornaci di Tersia summons the [Dark Spirit King, Dichloe].」 The
strongest summoned beast that gave him the alias of Blood Spirit.
The Dark Spirit King Dichloe.
Soon, Dichloe began to rain huge spheres of darkness at the enemies.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
Overwhelming firepower that even the explosive type Aqurava couldn’t produce.
However, the retention time is short.
Usable time when full power is about 5 seconds.
But 5 seconds was enough.
“run!!”
“This way is fine, so go in first!”
At the moment when the dragon slaughter team stopped moving while blocking the counterattack, they started with the group in the lead and pushed themselves through the portal one by one.
And…
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
Dichlore, who threw the last dark sphere, was summoned back and Erwen stumbled.
“You’re here…….”
“There’s no way I’ll leave it there.”
“…That’s right. Because you’re a mister.”
“Good work.”
Except for the two of us, all crew members have already gone up to the 8th floor.
I picked up the exhausted Erwen and quickly ran towards the portal.
And how long has it been?
“Do you think you’ll send it!”
A voice came from right behind him.
It’s definitely Minka, so it’s fast.
When did you come here?
Well, I guess it was already too late.
Tadat.
The moment you fling your body as if sliding, the light from the portal warmly embraces your body.
「I have entered the land of dawn on the 8th floor.」
When I opened my eyes rolling on the floor, I saw the crew waiting in front of the portal.
“You’re the great captain.”
After checking my face, the crew members lowered their weapons, as if they were relieved.
But that was only for a moment. Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“The four portals shine!”
The crew, who were relieved as soon as I stood up, fixed their weapons again.
That’s right, because all of our expedition corps have finished entering.
It’s obvious who is riding the portal now.
‘Huh, I didn’t expect it to follow me all the way here.’
Are you fearless or are you just blind?
Either way you don’t have to be scared.
What did we run so hard for?
“Prepare for battle!”
“Kill all that come in!”
“Come, come.”
“Kill me…!!”
Blocking the entrance is invincible.
***
Standing in front of the portal.
No, to be precise, he is standing in front of it.
With a hammer in one hand and a shield in the other.
“…….”
With the crew ready to cast their skills and wield their weapons at any time.
“…Because it’s so quiet, it makes me anxious.”
More than an hour has passed since the portal was closed.
So far, this portal has only spit out an enemy once.
It was only when the dragon slayer and his men entered at the same time right after I entered the 8th floor.
‘I wish I could have killed him somehow.’
He killed eight of his men, but unfortunately missed the dragon slayer.
The first time he was hit by a blocked entrance, he ran away to the 7th floor, throwing away his son and daughter-in-law.
Since then, the current situation has continued.
It’s like the night before the storm.
‘Probably, if enough troops gather, they’ll try to push in at once.’
Perhaps at that time, they will block the entrance and be nabal and will not be able to protect this place. Well, in the first place, I had no intention of blocking the entrance for the rest of my life.
All I wanted was time to rearrange.
Just like this.
“Suitz’s wounded have all recovered.”
“What about food and supplies?”
“I gathered everything I had and needed and loaded it onto the sled.”
In simple terms, it means that you can enter the ice rock right now if you want to.
But I decided to do a little more overdoing it.
“We’ll see this place, so let’s all take turns and rest a little.”
“……That’s right.”
Soon, Kaislan made the members in bad condition take a break, and Aqurava, who was watching this, approached me.
“Shouldn’t we start soon? It’s dangerous to stay here all the time.”
A peaceful time was going on, but Akurava’s expression was not good.
A gaze directed backwards as if implying an anxious mind.
It’s obvious what you’re worried about.
“……You know, Shuitz, but you never know when they’ll be back.”
The best of Noark, who should be in the crack on the 8th floor now.
If they clear the rift and come out, we will be surrounded on both sides.
‘But now luck is following me.’
In fact, what I was most concerned about was the situation where the elite were on standby just in time when I entered the 8th floor.
Although the probability of being struck by lightning in the dry sky was a possibility, it was a possibility that could not be ruled out.
‘The problem is that I don’t know when they’ll be back…’
It’s like lying on a probabilistic instant death floor.
If we’re unlucky, they’ll come out of the rift right now, leading us to a dead ending.
But…
“I couldn’t sleep properly and continued the forced march for several days. If we enter Ice Rock like this, we will be annihilated before
we can go far.” There is no other option.
Akurava
also readily agreed and left.
And about 12 hours had passed .
“Only one…?”
“…Is it scouting ?
”
It was a really Noark-like response.
If the guy we sent as a sacrifice dies, we’re still blocking the entrance, and if it’s the other way around, we’ll just have to go back and tell them
.
After thinking about it for a while, I made a decision.
If the next reconnaissance comes, it will be at least an hour to three hours.
Besides, this is the minimum time to rest.
“Everyone pack your things, get up and get dressed!”
Until the labyrinth is closed Day 13.
It’s time to head to the last chapter,
“Entering Ice Rock!”
***
The Land of Dawn on the 8th floor.
A peaceful place with green meadows and hills.
However, the atmosphere there was far from peaceful.
The surroundings It’s because of the bloody smell coming out of the bodies of the explorers who filled them up.
“Say it again. Cale Elbard Zenegger. What did you just say to me?”
“Give up. Mr. Bagos, we have already missed them.”
“What!”
Soon after, the dragon slayer jumped in and grabbed him by the collar, but the man didn’t shut up.
“No matter how much you try, nothing will change. It’s suicide to follow into the ice rock without any preparation.”
“What are you talking about! We outnumber them several times, but you say we can’t do what they did?”
“You’re saying this because you don’t know Ice Rock. Even if there are a lot of numbers, it will only get in the way of movement in Ice Rock.”
“…….”
“I would like to tell you in advance that this is also dangerous because they will ask if it is okay to select only the elite. The reason they’ve only run away so far is because there are plenty of enemies everywhere.”
“Are you saying that if we follow each other… we’ll face the opposite?” ”
Yes. They… especially the man who was the leader was a monster—”
The man firmly answered the dragon slayer’s angry question and immediately felt pressure on his neck.
“Cheuk…!”
” A piece of trash.”
As he said that, the dragon slayer’s eyes were full of murderous intent.
But, no matter how outgoing his personality, he wouldn’t have expected that he would kill himself?
The strangled man hurriedly continued his words.
” If Captain Da knows this—”
“Chief, that bastard’s captain
. ”
Do you think he would kill me for killing you?”
“Oh no…”
Soon the blood flow to his head was blocked and the strangled man’s body limp. Perhaps if he had a few more seconds here, he would undoubtedly breathe. I will reap it.
But…
“Two.”
The dragon slayer threw the man on the floor and spat on it. He was pissed off
that he kept climbing without knowing the subject, so he did the job, but he couldn’t kill him. .Because
he’s a useful guy, except for his talkativeness.
That’s why the leader especially cared for him.
“Damn it.”
The dragon slayer clenched his fists as if his anger didn’t go away even after venting his anger a lot.
At this, all the other subordinates noticed. He lowered his eyes while looking at it, but
the dragon slayer’s mind was cold.
If you can’t push with your troops, it’s dangerous to follow suit. If
everyone is at the same level as you, there will be no problem, but even if you choose elites, it doesn’t change that everyone is trash.
The only thing better was this guy who just passed out
. If there’s something I need to write, my barely-recovered body will be destroyed, and then I might have to take a break for a few months
.
It’s a situation where the damage is certain in many ways.
But…
‘So I have to send a guy who won’t be able to eat it like this?’
After all, I don’t like it.
It’s not just a matter of the heart, it’s a feeling that comes from experience. Looking back, it was like that in Larcas’ maze.
[Will you tell me why you lose money every time? Even in moments of need.]
In order not to lose money, I gave up one by one, and eventually reached that point. Because my body was broken and I lost my memory, I had to spend more than a year as an asshole. But tell me to let the culprit go
quietly
? The more I sorted it out, the more I leaned toward saying that shouldn’t be the case
, because it wasn’t just a matter of revenge anymore
.
What will it be like next time we meet?
He destroyed the Eye of the Sky, so if he goes back, the royal family will definitely give him a big reward.
If he gets stronger here.
Will I be able to defeat him then
? I made up my mind.
‘……I have to do it now.’
I can’t give it any more time.
I have to end the bad relationship with him no matter what the cost.
That’s a wise choice.
Quack.
It was the moment he made that decision.
As if the sky cheered for his decision.
Shuaaaaaa -!
The warm spring wind blew violently and was caught in one place, forming a halo of light.
It meant only one thing.
“……Crack! The rift opens!”
The elite unit that is being secretly fostered with all-out efforts in Noark.
Didn’t they even eat essences below 4th grade?
In Noark, they said that if they started their activities in earnest, a generational crossing would occur within Orculis as well. It’s even spinning…….
‘Lucky guys who met the times well.’
The dragon slayer’s evaluation of them was exactly like this:
Yes, others went up from the first floor step by step and went through hardships, but these guys received a lot of support because they had potential and there were many vacant seats in the essence
.
Aside from the pain in his stomach, the dragon slayer smiled and moved forward.
Before long, the portal opened and the raid team appeared.
They looked worn and worn as if they had been through an arduous battle.
“Are you… Regal Vagos? What’s going on here?”
The dragon slayer smiled and replied to the raid team’s question.
“The Eye in the Sky was destroyed.”
“…What? The Eye in the Sky?
” .”
“But why are we…”
“The commander’s order is to lead you guys in pursuit.”
