Solar Spring (4)

- Elise. Then, I'll trust you. You can accept whatever the outcome is. So don't be too burdened. Understand?

okay.

The contractor trusted it.

It doesn't matter if you succeed or fail.

But that belief cannot be deviated from the beginning.

" ."

Elise clenched her fists.

The risk has risen so much that it cannot be compared with what we had previously decided to do... .

"I will do that."

The word give up won't come out of my mouth even if I die.

great. Then, the rest of you, please wait here. It won't take long."

At Hatoel's words, Belus and Ophelia immediately protested.

"Are you really okay? It could be a trap."

"It's sympathetic. That's the one who changed the plan anyway. We have plenty of things to say when we go back."

"You guys are just waiting for me to come. It's an order from the head of the household."

" All right. load."

"If you decide to do that, you have no choice but to follow there isn't go carefully Because I don't want to lose the head of the house I serve twice."

Elise followed Hatoel.

Chunkyung!

Not the front door, but the side door hidden between the golden leaves opened.

It was a measure to prevent the exposure of Elise's existence to other angels.

"Oh."

Alice entered the room and looked around.

The sanctuary where thousands of angels gathered was a spectacular sight in itself.

The sacred and splendid buildings and the thousands of armies protecting them were not lacking in the adjective that they were the strongest.

However, the thing that stimulates the senses the most is .

Again, it was the magic that flowed out of the small house in the corner of the alley.

Jerrit! Jerrit!

A stinging energy transmitted through the skin.

You can find out without even asking Hatoel.

As for Gabriel in there.

"Isn't it me?"

Yes. waiting for you Let's go first. I'll take a look around and follow you in.

okay.

Alice entered the house.

In the small room, an archangel smiling brightly was sipping tea.

" Hospitality is not good. At least I thought I'd put that eerie divine power in and wait.

"Fufu. Sorry about this. I wrote that I care, because instinct is unavoidable. If it's the head of Ataraxia, who once wiped out our clan, shouldn't we be more careful?"

"Anyway, you will."

Alice exhaled coldly and pulled out a letter from her arms.

"It's a letter from the contractor. They say that there is a clue as to what the book is or what you are looking for."

" !"

Gabriel's face changed in an instant.

The bright expression on his face is gone, and only greed and instinct are shining eyes.

Now that the clues to the treasure I've been looking for for a long time come to my eyes, of course my composure will be shaken.

Ah! Get your dirty hands away. First of all, do you have something to give?"

widely!

Elise mercilessly struck Gabriel's hand as it reached out.

" This is the information you want to know, Jinhyuk Kang. Memories of Hasting's past are recorded."

Gabriel placed the blue jewel on the table.

'A stone that holds memories'.

This is a special item that can only be played once.

With this, the exchanges that the two factions wanted were gathered in one place.

[Gabriel is Lv?? Activates the 'balance that forms the horizon'!]

A golden scale appeared above Gabriel and Elise's heads.

A sealed letter on one of the scales. And in the other place, a 'stone with memories' went up.

A sacred scale that judges each other's authenticity and compares their values.

If you use this skill, there is no room for any irregularities in trading.

In fact, the two pieces of information had a similar level of value.

'A clue about the Necronomicon... It means only a small part of it.'

Gabriel nodded as if expected.

If it had been a perfect clue, it would have been even weirder.

However, since I was able to get out of the deadlock where there was no clue at all, it would be a lot more business.

right then

"But I told you to tell me this."

Elise added a word.

"What do you mean?"

"Because Kizakiel ran wild in the fortress of giants, the damage was quite large. I wish you could add compensation for that damage."

then ! Kizakiel is a fallen angel who was banished from our side before this happened. But how can you hold us accountable for that?"

"Oh, I don't know. I'm just delivering what the contractor told me to tell you. Or, what? Are you going to overturn this deal altogether? Do you think it will only hurt your mouth if you tell me who is at the loss?"

Alice pretended to tear up the letter.

"Come on, wait a minute!"

It was Gabriel's side that became urgent.

"If it's a reward What are you talking about?"

"Ugh. there's nothing wrong with it It's just that we're going to restore everything that our fortress has been destroyed and provide support until it becomes a large stronghold?

big Do you think that makes sense since it's your base?"

"Okay."

don't be

The corners of Alice's lips went up.

- Push hard. as usual. Then, conditionally, it works. The urgent thing is Eden's side.

I have already gained confidence through Jinhyuk.

All that's left is to keep pushing the opponent.

puddle.

An eerie sound escaped Gabriel's mouth.

" All right. Let's add that contract as well."

sloppy

The scale was sharply tilted to one side.

It was an unfair contract by anyone, but Gabriel had no choice but to accept the offer to eat mustard weeping.

great. This is it."

Alice got up from her seat as if there was nothing more to see.

But, at that very moment.

Whoa!

Wow!

A powerful magical energy began to surge along the fortress.

A warning sound reminiscent of a siren also shook up the whole of Eden.

"They must have noticed an intruder."

you ."

"This is really not intentional. As Hatoel has already said, internal problems have grown a bit on our side as well."

Gabriel shrugged.

"But, don't worry too much. If the fact that we made a contract with vampires spreads, we get in trouble as well. Hatoel."

Yes.

"Please get Alice out of Eden safely."

all right. If you hurry, you may find a secret passage that has not yet been blocked."

"Sheesh! I can't."

Elise quickly left her seat.

"Oh, I almost forgot to give this to you."

Gabriel handed him a red apple.

Not an ordinary apple.

At first glance, it has an unusual aura... .

good and evil. Or First Apple.

Although it is called in several meanings, it was one of the top-level special items that symbolized Eden.

"This give it to me?"

"When you are alone with your loved one. If you eat this apple, you can make that person Ellis-sama's."

binding force with absolute judgment.

If this is... .

Of course, Jinhyuk will also pass.

Of course, you shouldn't have one, but I'm giving it to you to test how effective it is.

"Hey, do you think I'm going to use this disgraceful method? I can make him fall for me with all my strength!"

"Hmm. Are your eyes fluttering when you say that? Why are you breathing heavily while drooling again?"

"My, when am I!"

"Huhu. Anyway. We look forward to seeing you again. As the head of Ataraxia."

Gabriel smiled and said goodbye.

Aww!

bang! bang! bang!

Black legs smashed rocks without mercy.

Damn it! what Such reckless... Octopus... You mean there!"

Cheon Yu-seong moved his body like crazy and avoided the attack.

The horse is octopus, it almost looks like a machine gun.

Even though he was moving with all his might, it was not easy to dodge.

"How long are you going to install that trap?"

wait. Be confident and let go of yourself... . I last fought him for 15 minutes."

under! only 15 minutes? If you are 15 minutes, I can do 30 minutes."

30 minutes Is this possible against that monster? Nonsense. Would that be impossible?"

Jinhyuk stuttered with a surprised expression.

"Leave it. I'll show you that I'm different from you.

Cuckoo Cuckoo!

[Cheon Yuseong activates his unique ability 'Sword Song'!]

Cheon Yu-seong squeezed all his magical power and swung Ryuhwa.

Aww!

The yogi's sword collided head-on with the octopus's leg.

'After all, it's easy to deal with people with high self-esteem and fools.'

Among them, the easiest to deal with is a barbarian with high self-esteem.

Just like that guy.

Jinhyeok hummed and pulled out an iron-clad shrimp from outside the pot.

Unlike other Shrimps, the shape of its claws is slightly curved and large.

This guy is the key to entering the labyrinth.

And I already got the key, but the reason I'm rolling the sky like that... .

It was because there was not enough food to eat in the labyrinth.

'There are so many delicious ingredients out there, there's no need to go inside and eat garbage.'

Let's see... .

That guy over there with a black line on his back seems to have a lot of rusty sweetness.

That guy hasn't finished spawning yet, so it must be very oily.

While Cheon Yoo-seong was fighting with his life, Jin-hyuk selected the 7 most delicious iron-clad shrimp and stored them in the subspace inventory.

next .

Jinhyuk's gaze turned towards the valley.

The deepest looking puddle.

Below that floor is the entrance to the labyrinth.

"You can stop fighting now! Come this way!"

Chin-hyeok shouted and jumped into the water.

In an instant, cold water engulfed his body.

The cold was so intense that it even frozen his head, but his mind was surprisingly intact.

Jinhyuk swam familiarly.

down.

until you reach the bottom of the valley.

I saw an eagle owl and Cheon Yu-seong following me from behind.

Also the giant legs of the octopus.

have to hurry

If you don't know anything else, encountering that giant octopus in the water could be really dangerous.

Pogrr!

Cheon Yu-seong's mouth opened violently.

Pointing to the suckers that are chasing from behind.

damn it I know too. If you don't open the door right away, you're in trouble.

'Claws... Insert it into the gap and turn it clockwise 23 degrees... .'

shudder!

I knew it.

It's about fitting the key correctly.

[The labyrinth 'Valley of Eternity Where the Sun Can't Reach' is open!]

The bottom of the valley opens. A bright light flashed out.

At the same time, everyone's eyes turned white.

"Cool! Cool!"

"Whew It was close."

He succeeded in entering the labyrinth by a margin of error.

If it was even a little late, Cheon Yu-seong would have turned into octopus rice.

However. There is no bird that is safe.

This is the most vicious labyrinth on the 23rd floor.

From now on, you have to think of everything in this as a trap aimed at you.

'However, no matter how high the difficulty level, if you know the basic strategy, you can attack it enough.'

Jinhyuk wiped the water off his body.

However.

"You seem to think we raised the difficulty... ."

The silent eagle owl opened its mouth.

"There seems to be some misunderstanding there."

"What does that mean?"

"It is true that this is no ordinary labyrinth. But, it wasn't us who made this place so alien... ."

Chunkyung!

Koo!

One by one, monsters wrapped around their bodies with strange skins appeared.

"It's because of the guy I was talking about."

"Damn it. when... ! Jinhyuk Kang!"

Cheon Yoosung shouted.
