Chapter 47: Labyrinth City (1)

Ha-

Snow Ghost Ram trembled with rage.

Crack-Crackle-!

The ground under his two feet was being crushed, and blood pooled slightly at the corners of his mouth from clenching his teeth so tightly.

What did you say?

Clearly filled with rage, he asked again, but the Absolute Ruler of Darkness responded with an utterly calm expression,

I am saying that I have no choice but to kill you.

That was all she said.

Gnash-!!

Snow Ghost Ram felt his anger rising even more at her continued words.

In the five years since he had become a great hero, he had never heard such insulting words.

At least, no one he had encountered before had dared to threaten a great hero capable of lifting Mount Tai.

Yet, the girl in front of him, without changing her expression, had picked a fight not just with Snow Ghost Ram but with all the great heroes present.

In fact, it wouldnt have been strange if a bloodbath had already started here.

It wouldnt have been strange if the impatient Snow Ghost Ram had already rushed forward to rip the womans throat out.

It wouldnt have been strange if the Sword God had silently swung his sword, slicing her body in two.

Similarly, it wouldnt have been strange if the Great Mage had used magic, or if the Earthquake King, with ferocity matching Snow Ghost Rams, had charged at the woman with a fierce smile as if he had been waiting for the chance.

But even so, all the great heroes were just making displeased faces, and none dared to step forward.

Sword God Arwen was just fidgeting with his fingers as if he was about to grab the sword hilt, with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

Great Mage Laran was just holding his staff in silence.

The Earthquake King had a fierce smile but seemed to have no intention of recklessly charging in, standing in his place.

And even Snow Ghost Ram, known to be the most impatient of all,

was just looking at that woman with his bloodshot eyes.

Seeing this, the nobles present felt puzzled.

At least to them, the woman in front of them looked nothing but insane.

It didnt seem like she was picking a fight with the great heroes who could trample even a territory on their own if they wished.

But unlike those nobles, the four great heroes still did not move.

No, to be precise, they could not move.

The great heroes confronting those empty eyes realized,

that the being standing before them, whose name and face were not even properly known, was not of a lower realm than themselves.

No,

perhaps, they might even be on a higher plane than them.

They instinctively realized that they could not win against this monster by charging in alone.

Thats why the great heroes could only remain still.

Even the Sword God with a displeased expression.

The silent Great Mage and the Earthquake King as well.

And even Snow Ghost Ram, clenching his teeth, realized that what was in front of them was a monster even greater than themselves.

But upon realizing this, the four great heroes calmly assessed the situation and simultaneously deduced a way to defeat the monster in front of them.

Combined attack.

If all four great heroes here united as one to charge at the monster in front of them, they could win.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Even if the being in front of them was a monster, they too were great heroes.

For them, each a living legend, a combined attack was not impossible to win against the monster before them.

No, rather, they were confident.

About two hours later,

with the great heroes driven away, the Execution Sword was up for auction.

1.1 million Gold Coins.

One one point one million Gold Coins!

Who, who exactly is that person? Who could it be-

Its unbelievable!

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness bid all the Gold Coins she had brought for the Execution Sword.

Of course, having already driven out the great heroes and warned others not to bid on the Execution Sword, she could have won it for the starting bid of 50,000 Gold Coins.

Yet, the reason the Absolute Ruler of Darkness did not do so was because she was truly grateful to whoever had put the Execution Sword up for auction.

If that someone had not put the Execution Sword up for auction, the Absolute Ruler of Darkness would never have been able to find it, let alone obtain it.

Therefore, she bid all the money she had gathered as a token of her gratitude.

[Auctioned, the Execution Sword has been sold to bidder number 109.]

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness was able to win the auction.

At that moment, the Absolute Ruler of Darkness won the bid for the Execution Sword.

Is everything ready with this?

[Yes, it seems that all the preparations are complete, just as the Lord has instructed]

Kim Hyunwoo had been preparing to open the Labyrinth city for several days.

In fact, since the development of the third tier, it was possible to open the Labyrinth city immediately, but from now on, even Kim Hyunwoo was preparing as much as possible, not knowing what might happen.

[As the Lord instructed, we have selected eight people who were handling guild affairs in the previous territory or who seem capable enough to undertake office duties, and it seems that everything will be perfectly constructed by tomorrow]

What about the rumors?

[It's only been a few days since we spread the rumors, so not many mercenaries or adventurers have gathered yet, but they are gradually starting to assemble within the territory]

Kim Hyunwoo, satisfied with Lorias words, nodded with satisfaction.

Indeed, things were proceeding step by step as he had prepared.

Therefore,

[Also, the tasks you assigned to Elena will probably be completed by today as well]

Kim Hyunwoo, upon hearing Lorias final report,

Now, shall we start spreading the word to the adventurers in earnest?

In two days, well open the Labyrinth,

he murmured with a smile.

Immediately after winning the bid for the Execution Sword.

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness decided to carry the Execution Sword personally instead of entrusting it to a dwarf for delivery after paying the money.

She had never heard of any issues when dwarves transported items, but she felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

Therefore, the Absolute Ruler of Darkness, who had just taken custody of the Execution Sword from Rapengan territory, looked at the sword with a deeply moved expression, which soon turned into one filled with questions.

And for good reason.

Huh?

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness knew this Execution Sword all too well.

Her eyes suddenly filled with confusion.

As if she couldnt understand the situation, she blankly stared at the Execution Sword, then slowly rotated it to examine it closely.

Once.

Twice.

Thrice.

And, ten times.

Standing there, the Absolute Ruler of Darkness, who had turned the Execution Sword over and over using the darkness, soon realized one unbelievable fact.

What?

That the Execution Sword was, in fact, her own.
