Chapter 117 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is a Warrior, the Other Half Is XXX

If Genos begins to grow through the hidden piece that Eugene will obtain right now, it will become an asset for her growth.

“…”

Of course, contrary to Eugene’s intention in handing over the purified magic stone to Genos with that thought in mind, Genos, who is acting as an autistic person, is thinking to himself, is this man actually Stral? It was just a thought that came to mind.

No matter how you look at it, what Eugene handed over was a magic stone. And it is common sense that if you consume a magic stone in the Orbital World, you will immediately start running out of mana and die.

However, since Eugene handed over her magic stone to her, of course, from her perspective, it could not help but appear as if her stral was telling Genos, who had exiled her with her lore, to take this and search for it.

“… Gulp.”

But despite this, Genos followed Eugene’s orders and swallowed the purified magic stone thrown by him.

Genos was hoping that Eugene, his master, would kill him in the first place.

So, I don’t know what his intention was as he was playing a useless slave, but it was his wishful thinking that he wanted to die like this. However…

“… ?”

… Of course, Genos, who thought he would die from the mana explosion, could feel the moment he swallowed the magic gemstone as it was converted into pure mana (essence) and spread throughout his body.

The outstanding talent of Moon Gok-seong had already awakened her sense of essence, so she was able to fully feel the magic gemstone being converted into pure natural mana (essence) and accumulating inside her body.

“Munch… , Munching… Keck, do you think it would have been better to just swallow it?”

At such an incomprehensible phenomenon, Genos momentarily forgot about acting and made a dumbfounded expression, but when he saw Eugene’s actions, he couldn’t help but flinch and tremble.

That’s because before she knew it, Eugene had also taken out her magic stone, the same one she had given to her, and was chewing it and swallowing it like it was candy with her Unirut-reinforced teeth.

‘I didn’t like the feeling of just swallowing a rock, so I tried chewing it… , It’s not true.’

Eugene, who was absorbing her magic gemstone that he had purified without paying attention to Genos’ gaze, looked a little dissatisfied with the amount of essence accumulated in his body in synergy with the environment of her dungeon.

There were no complaints about the purity itself, but the quantity was very small. Of course, even if you consume this amount on a regular basis, you will be able to accumulate essence as quickly as consuming most elixirs.

However, as Eugene, who had the opportunity to take the elixir a few times on Earth, she could not help but compare it to her sense of the elixir she had taken at that time, when her uni-rut was increasing, without realizing it.

‘They are of different types to begin with.’

The magicite is an elixir that is consumed over a long period of time, and the one consumed on Earth was an elixir that instantly absorbs a large amount of essence.

So, even though the sense of absorption is bound to be different, he feels dissatisfied with that fact, and he reminds himself that human greed has no end, and soon begins practicing Unirut.

‘Why…’

And Genos couldn’t help but look even more confused as he looked at Eugene, who absorbed the magic stone and processed the essence accumulated in his body into Unilut.

In that he could purify the magic stone and turn it into an elixir, it was a feat of a level that would not be strange even if it was targeted not only by the empire but also all over the world.

If you consume the magic stone directly, you will die. In the current magic civilization, this was established as an obvious proposition and all the supplied magic stones were consumed as batteries for artifacts or counterfeit magic.

And to put it another way, the amount of magic stones supplied is large enough to sustain the magic civilization.

But you have the ability to convert all magic stones into elixirs? It’s no wonder that it’s an ability that anyone would want with a spark in their eyes.

In other words, the ability that Eugene showed right now was already beyond the scope of considering whether he was Strahl or another human being with the appearance of Strahl.

And to that extent, no matter how desperate Genos is, he cannot help but have doubts about Eugene without realizing it.

‘What’s going on… , How…’

At the time he killed Lore with his own hands, Genos thought that the world was already going crazy and that he too was a madman living in that crazy world.

However, she said that looking at Eugene, who was relaxing while practicing Unirut, reminded her that the world was a stranger place than she thought.

+++

Before Eugene entered her academy, she vowed to conquer all the hidden dungeons in the Lina Forest and started moving on the second day.

Eugene and Genos, who took a short rest in the reward room after completing the superhuman dungeon, closed the subspace dungeon by retrieving magic ore and exited through the dungeon entrance.

‘… I was just wondering because I heard about it from Yeonmae, but there is no way we will meet right away like that.’

As he was escaping from the dungeon, Eugene thought to himself that the planet Earth might be hidden in the dungeon he was conquering, just like Yeonhwa found.

However, contrary to his expectations, the planet that Eugene owned when he was on Earth did not exist in both the beginner-level dungeon and the superhuman-level dungeon that she had Genos conquer.

‘Well, there is no guarantee that all planets exist in the dungeon.’

It was a miracle that the planet where the Snow Woman’s thoughts resided existed in the absolute self-sufficient dungeon that Yeonhwa conquered in the Lina Forest in the first place.

‘No, it’s not a miracle. Now that I am possessed by the system…’

In a way, it could have been thought that it had fallen into a dungeon close to Eugene, but planets were not found in other dungeons that Eugene had conquered.

In other words, it would be said that the planet that contained Snow Woman’s thoughts ended up falling into the dungeon that Yeonhwa had been attacking.

So Eugene, who had only a little expectations, smiled bitterly, but was not too disappointed, and immediately started to conquer the final dungeon with Genos.

“Hmm…”

Now, there is only one hidden dungeon left in Laina Forest that Eugene knows about.

And that dungeon was none other than a dungeon where an object that Eugene called a hidden piece was sleeping.

‘Should I take this guy in…? …’

However, despite finding the entrance to the hidden dungeon without difficulty, Eugene had no choice but to fall into trouble.

Until now, when conquering dungeons, Eugene had taken Genos with him, either by having him conquer the dungeons himself or by using him as a porter.

It was also for her growth. Inside the dungeon, the concentration of essence in the atmosphere is high, so simply entering it promotes the growth of those with this ability.

Plus, having him experience a real battle with Enemy would be the icing on the cake, so it’s not for nothing that Eugene brought Genos along to conquer the dungeon.

… But even so, even Eugene had no choice but to worry about whether he should accompany Genos to the last dungeon.

‘A dungeon with a hidden piece is not a hidden piece for nothing.’

The fact that the hidden piece is hidden means that it is a special dungeon, and as proof of that, the last superhuman level dungeon was a dungeon with a quite unique gimmick.

‘It’s a trap-breaking dungeon.’

Among dungeons, the dungeon itself was a trap, that is, a dungeon equivalent to a trap.

Of course, dungeons were inherently environments where traps were bound to exist. However, the trap-breaking type dungeon is said to be a dungeon that specializes in traps.

‘The dungeon environment itself can be said to be a huge trap.’

A trap-breaking dungeon could be said to be a dungeon that literally acts as a trap, throwing the challenger into an environment that threatens his or her life from the moment of entry.

The moment you enter, you drop the challenger from a very high altitude, or you throw him into a swamp filled with a deadly poison that kills you within a minute if poisoned, or you throw him into water that boasts overwhelming water pressure.

‘Among them, the most lethal trap is the one that attacks mentally.’

The gimmick of the dungeon could be said to be a huge area of ​​power created by nature.

No one can be free from the dungeon’s gimmick unless they have the stamina to push back the power of the dungeon itself.

Even Yeonhwa had a hard time breaking through the dungeon gimmick that occurred in the absolute self-sufficient dungeon.

From the point of view that it is not impossible, we can understand why Yeonhwa is called Cheonma.

And this was only possible because of Yeonhwa, and the others had no choice but to be swayed by the dungeon gimmick, and it was the same for Eugene.

Therefore, it is said that there is nothing more dangerous than the mental attack inflicted by the dungeon gimmick.

‘And this hidden dungeon is a mental attack trap-breakthrough type dungeon.’

To be more specific, it could be said to be a type of dungeon in which the challenger’s body is left alone at the moment of entering and only the challenger’s mind is trapped in the hallucinatory world presented by the dungeon.

‘If you can somehow survive the dungeon environment and advance through this trap-breaking type, it is fortunate that you can immediately enter the boss room…’

In other words, it can be said that it is a dungeon that can only be conquered by escaping from the hallucinatory world on one’s own.

At this point, Eugene had no choice but to worry. As it was a superhuman level dungeon, even Eugene, who had reached superhuman status, could not be free from the hallucinations shown by the dungeon.

However, Eugene is a person who has reached the level of an absolute person in terms of mind and soul. Therefore, he was confident that he could somehow escape even if it was a hallucination world of a superhuman level dungeon.

‘But this guy is different.’

The main characters of the original story showed quite a variety of reactions to this hidden dungeon.

In some routes, there were times when the entire protagonist group broke through the dungeon without incident, but in other routes, there were times when they were buried in the dungeon’s hallucinatory world to the point of futility and entered a dead ending.

And that standard can be said to be determined by the mental strength of the protagonist and his party at the moment they enter this hidden dungeon, as well as variables related to all kinds of trauma.

‘This dungeon is a dungeon with a gimmick that constantly shows a hallucinatory world that recreates the challenger’s most painful memories.’

In other words, the higher your mental power or the fewer traumatic memories you have, the easier it is to break through the dungeon.

In fact, when entering this hidden dungeon, the heroine with the highest probability of being conquered was Banryong, and the heroine with the lowest probability was Moon Ae-ri, who could be said to be a lump of trauma.

In that sense, as a result of going straight to the bad ending, anyone could see that it would be foolish to enter with Genos, who can be said to be a bundle of trauma.

‘But… , This dungeon can also be used to overcome trauma in some cases, right?’

In fact, in the case of Moon Ae-ri, who is a bundle of trauma but has high mental power, there were cases where she overcame her trauma if she was properly cared for after entering the dungeon.

‘Will it work?’

That’s why Eugene was thinking while looking alternately at the entrance to the cave-shaped hidden dungeon and at Genos.

When he entered this hidden dungeon, he was well aware of the options for taking care of not only the main heroine but also the sub-heroine.

As such, after taking Genos with her, he takes on her role and helps her overcome her trauma.

In this way, wouldn’t it be possible to cure Genos’s autism, which he doesn’t know is an act? It’s not strange to think of the idea.

That’s why Eugene looked at Genos and thought about it before making a decision.

‘Let’s take him in.’

Even if Genos was autistic, he could still use it.
