Chapter 35: Tier 2 (3)

Chapter 35: Tier 2 (3)

The second tier of the Labyrinth.

Gulra, the leader of the Gulrashi mercenary group who entered here with the soldiers including Elena, was staring at Elena with his mouth agape.

The reason was, of course, because of Elenas combat skills.

Naturally, Gulra, who had been active in this area for a long time, knew her as the so-called failed hero and had also worked with her before.

Thus, Gulra knew Elenas combat skills.

Is that even possible?

He watched with an incredulous expression as she took down the Boss of the second layer, an Undead Gnoll.

The appearance of the Undead Gnoll, like the Boss of the first tier, did not look anything like a normal gnoll.

The Undead Gnoll was more than twice as large as Elena, and whether it had been modified by a necromancer or not, it had as many as four arms.

Despite being undead, its powerful attack that shattered the ground with a single blow sent shivers down the spines of the soldiers and mercenaries.

In other words, the Undead Gnoll of the second tier looked so strong that it was clear it could not be faced alone.

No, it was strong.

Certainly beyond what Gulra could imagine Elena capable of.

Or so it should have been.

Bang!

Elena, however, was facing such an Undead Gnoll as if it was nothing.

No, rather.

-[Scream of the Gnoll!!!]

Elena was hunting the Undead Gnoll.

Bang!

Elenas body, which evaded the Undead Gnolls attack so naturally, quickly moved behind it and severed its spine.

Thud!

The Undead Gnoll fell to the ground with a single attack from Elena.

At the same time, Elena, who ran up its body to the head, plunged a hand axe into its head before it could do anything.

Crack!

The sound of the skull breaking as the hand axe penetrated the Gnolls head.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

-[Screams of the Gnoll!!!]

Despite being a reanimated corpse, the Undead Gnoll started to rage as if feeling pain, but Elena did not stop there and used the hand axe she held in the other hand.

Crunch!

She completely smashed the Undead Gnolls skull, and soon the Boss collapsed, ceasing to function.

Huh.

Gulra, of course, had heard the rumors.

Rumors that the failed hero Elena had suddenly become strong after joining the Lord of Lartania.

However, as the rumors circulating in the mercenary industry are almost always exaggerated, he was only aware of such a level of fact.

This isnt just a matter of having become strong, is it?

Because Elenas appearance was shocking.

Surely, does the Lord have something?

Gulra was thinking, recalling one of the rumors that circulated along with Elenas.

If its as expected, could it be a chance to make some money?

At that moment he thought this.

Just like on the first tier, Elena, who was receiving praises from the soldiers and mercenaries, turned her gaze towards the Undead Gnoll that was gradually disappearing.

Kim Hyunwoo quickly came to that conclusion.

After all, it being left under the bed covered in dust meant it was okay to assume the Absolute Ruler of Darkness had lost it and left.

Therefore, Kim Hyunwoo, looking at the sword, began to ponder what to do with this Execution Sword.

First of all, it seems I dont need to return it.

In fact, Kim Hyunwoo didnt even know where the Absolute Ruler of Darkness was, and even if he did, he had no intention of returning it.

She must have left it because she didnt need it. Maybe she didnt think it was important.

Hmm

Still, seeing it neglected like this makes me feel a bit sad, considering I worked so hard on it.

Kim Hyunwoo stared intently at the Execution Sword with these thoughts but smiled instead.

Considering the Absolute Ruler of Darkness had left the Execution Sword neglected like this, it allowed him to think about how he could use it.

Should I give it to a hero as equipment? Or just sell it?

Kim Hyunwoo began to ponder happily.

Though covered in dust, the Execution Sword was, after all, a weapon that could create variables second only to a heros star in a world where a heros star signifies all of ones strength.

Of course, since Kim Hyunwoo made it himself, its abilities were inferior to its original mythic grade, but even so, it could be considered quite a formidable weapon.

Thus, this weapon was like an unexpected gift to Kim Hyunwoo.

If he wanted to use it right away, he could recruit a hero who uses swords and give it to them to use, and if he decided to sell it, it was very clear that Kim Hyunwoos pockets would become significantly heavier.

Therefore,

Thank you for letting me know, Lani.

Hehe Its nothing.

He praised Lani and began to seriously consider how to use this Executioners Sword.

Master.

Loriel, standing at the entrance to the underground chamber of the Calan Kingdom and looking at the door with no response as usual, sighed.

Wouldnt it be better to just go in?

Ruin, with a similarly worried expression next to Loriel, suggested this, but she shook her head.

No, we must always have Masters permission to enter the Grand Chamber. Are you planning to disobey Masters words?

Thats not it. But Im worried, thats why Im saying this.

Ruin, clicking her tongue and looking at the door,

Master, its been days since youve eaten, so Ive brought some food. Please have a little!

Spoke towards the door, but as with Loriel, there was still no response from inside.

After a while, two of the Five Swords of Calan, who had been guarding the door, left when no answer came for a long time.

And Loriel, who had been pondering for a long time,

Ruin.

Why?

From tomorrow, you stay by Masters side. Just in case theres something to be done, stay near the door unless theres something special.

Ruin said,

Thats fine, but what about you?

To Ruins curious question,

Im thinking of going to Lartania.

Loriel said,

Since Master is having a hard time, I need to speak with the Lord.

She muttered solemnly, looking in the direction of Lartania.
