Chapter 131: It's so grand

[Luxury White Elytra]

[Grade: Unique]

[Restriction: Lv.350]

[Effect: When equipped, the attribute magic generated by the user is stored. The number of magic that can be stored is proportional to the color of the wing, and when the stored magic is activated, mana consumption is reduced by 30%. Number of currently stored attribute magic: 100]

A magic tool I rented before entering the Demon Kings Castle rutpure.

I couldnt live without the procedure.

So why was I still keeping the item and not returning it?

If anyone asked, I had a good reason.

Strictly speaking, I borrowed it again.

[Token of the Whirlwind].

[Luxury Item Lightning-Struck Tree Branch Wand].

[Luxury Item White Elytra].

I had thought about this while returning the items I rented at the Magic Tower and Garnet Hall.

It would be better to keep at least one as insurance.

I was able to demonstrate my specialty of knowing my place.

I dont have [Natural Enemy Relationship], so I need to pack an item properly.

The item I chose out of the three was, of course, the White Elytra.

Most of all, its performance was truly a sham.

The effects of other items were also significant, but.

If it wasnt for the elytra

I would have never been able to take down Demon King Flauros.

Considering its effect, its surprising that it only has a unique grade.

There were no procedural issues in extending the rental of magic tools.

Who am I?

From being a parachute, I was now recognized as the chief co-researcher.

Of course, even if I didnt use the chiefs authority, it seemed there were no mages who needed [White Elytra] in the first place.

-There are a lot of magic tools that have been returned. Take your time looking around

The skilled mages of Garnet Hall even suggested that.

The other magic tools?

They were great.

It was beyond a great level and Id like to try using it too.

But the level restriction was really high.

Flap

In the end, I only had one option.

I put the elytra on my shoulders like a cape.

The elytra clung to my shoulder as if it were alive.

I felt like I had really sprouted my wings.

Even for Grandfels aesthetic sense, its appearance was extremely satisfying.

Dont I just like luxury goods too much?

That thought suddenly crossed my mind.

Well, it was still a profitable deal.

I checked the changes in the stat window.

[Name: Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo]

[Title: The Last Adventurer]

[Class: Demon hunter]

[Level: 425]

[Stat]

Strength: 71 / Agility: 76 / Mana: 387 / Luck: 6 / Aesthetic: Medium

[Points: 0]

Thanks to wearing the elytra, the [aesthetics] stat rose again from low to medium.

Without [Natural Enemy Relationship], even the slightest change in stat was a relief.

Even if it was pathetic, I couldnt help it.

I had to take care of what I needed to take care of.

Thats a magic tool of the Mage Tower!

Of course, no one else could figure out my complicated intentions.

Fabian and his party were clearly impressed.

Of course, due to the situation, everyone came to their senses right away.

No, Sir Hoyeol. You want to break through the trap head-on!?

.

.

.

Thefern was an ancient city.

!!!

From the beginning, the dark spirits words were shocking.

The explorers of the League, Aaron and Rombus, let out a laugh.

Including them.

Thefern was a place that a lot of explorers had clung onto.

In the past, they couldnt get a single proper clue.

I didnt expect to learn Theferns secret in this way

Dont talk more, Aaron. Im losing energy too.

Lets be quiet for now, both of you.

In fact, Fabian felt the same as those two people.

Even if the method of each exploration was different.

Exploring with the help of spirits.

It was something he had never experienced before.

But Fabians mind was calm.

He judged the situation realistically.

Normally, it takes at least a week to explore the labyrinth.

However, this was not an ordinary labyrinth. It was the Top 10 Wonders of the Arcana continent.

If they werent skilled at this, it would take twice as long.

No, can we beat it?

Even now, it took several minutes to disarm one trap.

Three explorers, including him, stuck on it together.

But they didnt have enough time.

Well, didnt Hoyeol say that time was like afternoon tea?

As Sir Hoyeol said.

This is a rupture, not the Arcana continent.

Considering the increase rate of the collapse progress.

Fabian had no choice but to quickly admit.

It wont be possible the way we planned it.

In that sense, they needed to listen carefully to the words of the dark spirit.

Information about Thefern would help in some way.

They ended up waking up the Being That Should Not Be Awakened.

Being That Should Not Be Awakened?

In the depths of this underground.

!

Flash!

The nature of black magic.

Black magic.

A miscellaneous type of magic whose concept just got established in modern times by Senior Matis Dean Carl. Although black magic had a short history, my knowledge about it was sufficient.

Who was Matis?

He was a mage who was closer to the chief position than anyone else before Marcelo rose to prominence.

In other words.

His capabilities.

There was nothing lacking in the black magic books he wrote.

I had read every single book on black magic that existed in the Mage Tower.

Crash

Perhaps because I took a step forward without hesitation.

A trap was triggered.

Looking at the crumbling wall, I said calmly.

Did they manifest Black Tube throughout the labyrinth? Right. It would have been difficult to seal it in a simple labyrinth. I can guess what they were concerned about.

Intermediate-level black magic.

The effect was to take away some of the targets five senses. The Black Tube that appeared in the Thefern Labyrinth was aimed at only one target, the Being That Should Not Be Awakened.

Soon, a black figure fully revealed itself.

In order to maintain that Black Tube, it must have required an enormous amount of right mana. To compensate for that, a Black Contract was made by sacrificing their bodies.

Advanced black magic, black contract.

To put it simply, it was a type of necromancy.

If there was anything else, it was the difference between mana and right mana. And unlike the necromancers necromancy, the black contract could also be manifested in living subjects.

At my words, Fabian hesitated.

Sir Hoyeol, that means In order for the residents of Thefern to seal the being trapped in this labyrinth forever. They sacrificed their body as an offering for the black magic?

Nod

Haiel nodded on my behalf.

Yeah, Thefern.

Since it was a Wonder, its story was so dark.

But regardless of the consequences. The fact that they sacrificed their lives to prevent chaos on the Arcana continent didnt change.

I could understand why this guys pride couldnt overlook it.

So now that I could understand it.

I didnt whine anymore.

Leave. Unless you want to die. Leave.

All that remained was just the resentment from the living.

The Black Contractors were approaching.

The number was countless.

Leave. Unless you want to die. Leave.

Leave. Unless you want to die. Leave.

Leave. Unless you want to die. Leave.

But I didnt back down.

I knew their pride.

I also knew their resentment.

I know your hearts.

Being That Should Not Be Awakened.

I didnt know what its identity was, but with such a grand name, it must be a great being.

By the way.

This side also had a grand title that wasnt inferior to that.

Infinitely Deep Darkness.

The problem was, it was so grand that I felt like dying from hearing it.

Gooo

I raised the mana that was fitting for that nickname.

It was different from the one that responded to the dark spirit.

The entire Tetpern Labyrinth began to respond to my right mana.

Rumble-!

The labyrinth shook.

I hear the panicked voices of Fabian and his party.

P-President Fabian! What is going on?

But I couldnt afford to listen to them.

Was it because of my dark history, or was it because of Grandfels gloomy background setting? The source was unknown, but so many right mana surged to the point that its end was invisible.

Even just controlling this was daunting!

But, as always, I wasnt shaken.

Soon, the black contractors who were approaching me stopped.

At the same time, a message came to my sight.

[You have gained the command of Theferns Black Contractors.]

It said something different than before.

After a long wait, the opportunity to correct your mistakes has come.

*

Rumble!

Thefern Labyrinth shook as if it were about to collapse.

Players screamed everywhere.

But the real thing just started now.

It doesnt stop shaking!

Mobs will jump out of the labyrinth walls!

Crazy! What kind of bastard is it? Hurry up and come out, you troll!

Each of them had a different location in the labyrinth, but all of them took a fighting stance.

Class explorer Park Hwigang, who possessed insignificant combat skills, also raised his dagger for self-defense.

I would like to ask for your understanding in advance. The broadcast might get uneven.

It wasnt an ordinary labyrinth.

He had a hunch, but he had no idea there would be such a drastic change.

Was it as expected of the Top 10 Wonders of the Arcana continent? His temporary party members also expressed their thoughts.

Only one or two jumped out, but I was already sweating.

There must be more than a hundred, right?

Do you think its only a hundred? It seems like the whole labyrinth is collapsing.

Hyungnims, noonims. I think today is my memorial service day. Please give me expense money to the afterlife.

No, are you really going to jinx us there?!

So what? Did you pay for my yukgaejang[1]Yukgaejang or spicy beef soup is a spicy, soup-like Korean dish made from shredded beef with scallions and other ingredients, which are simmered together for a long time. Source: Wikipedia. ?

Rumble!

As the argument was about to heat up.

The labyrinth collapsed just in time.

However, the dry saliva they swallowed was meaningless.

Huh?

[Theferns Black Contractor].

The grim-looking monsters didnt rush at them.

No, instead of being hostile, they completely turned around and started heading in the opposite direction.

Thats?

Toward the depths of the labyrinths.

A place where the Being That Should Not Be Awakened were sealed.

And a place where the Infinitely Deep Darkness had set foot.
