Dictatorship of the Labyrinth City 194

Chapter 194 – The Little Mermaid and the Sexy Prince (2)

When it comes to fantasy, you can’t leave out Monmusu, that is, an alien race.

A succubus can also be said to be an outsider, but a succubus feels a little different, and the monmusu I’m talking about are people with a bit of ‘demon beast’ tendencies.

And here, the monmusu I want is in front of me.

[The mermaid has appeared!!]

This feeling.

It feels like I caught a golden carp queen while fishing for a carp queen.

It feels like I just threw the fishing rod once and caught a fish.

[Whoa, you need to calm down. You can run away for no reason.]

A mermaid, a being presumed to be a mermaid, is still looking at us with her head sticking out.

[Because it doesn’t run away, it must be curious about us.]

“Curiosity… ? Will the mermaid understand us?”

[Most intelligent beings understand what we say. That way, you can play with it more easily.]

“Ugh.”

Laura frowned.

“Playing with something sounds a bit cruel.”

[You’re playing with it cruelly, right? Just as the succubi squeeze out the vitality of human men, they will also play with us. If you are captured.]

Just as a group of dolphins play with their prey by flicking it at each other with their tails, if we are caught by the sea demons over there, we will definitely be used as toys.

Just before drowning, they are brought to the surface, allowed to breathe once, and then taken back below the surface.

Humans also inflict terrible deaths on each other against demons, so it’s not something to say, but I can’t help but say that it’s hellish from the perspective of the person who suffers it.

But.

What if you could capture succubi and make them work at the Dream Factory?

What if we can make them act as citizens of Fermaten, not as demons?

[Mermaids make money. Absolutely!]

“How does it make money?”

[Once you catch it, you figure it out step by step. If you don’t think you can make money by holding them, release them or dispose of them.]

Did you hear it?

I hope you didn’t listen.

If he had heard it, he would have run away a long time ago, but since he hasn’t run away yet, he must not have heard it.

[Cerica. Isn’t that dangerous?]

“It’s extremely dangerous.”

Celica grabbed her sword with a slightly nervous expression.

“That’s bait. A sexy guy.”

[Bait? … For a moment. No way.]

“As expected. You recognized it right away.”

Celica is a veteran adventurer who wandered around until she reached the 50th floor, and I was a hardcore player who did quests every day until the 100th floor.

Of course, I am vaguely familiar with the monsters that appear up to the 100th floor, but I know them all.

If you ask me to list the monsters in the order from the 1st floor to the 100th floor, I may not be able to tell you everything, but I can quickly recall what type of monster appears in which layer.

[Tsk. It’s a turn. Laura. Go away. That’s not a mermaid.]

“If you’re not a mermaid… Are you a fishman?”

[I think it would be better if it was a fishman, but unfortunately that is just a monkfish.]

The anglerfish of the deep sea.

It is a hungry ghost with a very terrible form, and can be said to be the typical appearance of the monsters in the Infinite Labyrinth.

[Look carefully.]

I walked forward with great strides.

I clenched my fists in preparation for an emergency, and the mermaid’s head her her, with only her head sticking out, slowly approached me.

And.

At the same time, the mermaid’s head suddenly rose high in the sky.

Kyaaaaa!!

A huge shark with a mouth over 2m in size attacked me.

“Handsome guy!!”

Kaga River!!

With her her her her foot her she kicks the tooth and with her her upper hand her her she stabs and twists Ohamma between her front teeth her.

I was worried that the sharp teeth might cut me, but fortunately, Paladin Sonata’s armor was able to withstand even the teeth of this monster shark.

[Celica!]

Suddenly.

As soon as I could speak, Celica jumped on top of me and swung her sword.

Kiaaaaa .

Two sword strikes.

Once, she cut off a tentacle that hung like a lantern, and once, her her sword her her her swung past her as if cutting off her her head her her her in one go.

[As expected, it’s Serika. Cool.]

“…A sexy man who goes head-to-head with such a monster is also great.”

After exchanging compliments, I stepped back and grabbed Ohamma again.

[What a piece of shit.]

Kaang.

I hit Ohamma with the teeth of an anglerfish.

The teeth that hit with all their might shattered on the Ohama and scattered inside, and the sharp teeth became stuck inside the mouth like splinters and blood began to flow out.

Pushy.

Black smoke also began to flow from the anglerfish’s body.

The blue sea began to turn red, and I stepped back, clutching Ohama.

Taat.

Celica stepped on my shoulder and jumped backwards, shaking off the blood and seawater on her sword with one light swing.

[This is a guy who lures his prey by putting the mermaid’s head in front of him, and then catches the prey right away. Tsk. There are degrees of fishing.]

“The devil uses such advanced tricks…”

[It’s because it’s a demonic beast. The fiercer the competition for survival, the more sophisticated and cunning the methods of targeting prey become. Because it is a wilderness where the weak cannot survive.]

Most monsters living in the deep sea use this method.

In the deep sea, where there is no darkness, a typical hunting method is to lure prey using sparkling light and then chew it up and swallow it all at once.

[After all, it’s an infinite labyrinth. I know better than anyone else how to offend people.]

It’s just quite unpleasant that they committed this against me, and that the lantern is not just a light bead or something, but a typical mermaid’s head.

[Laura. Imagine if that head was floating with its eyes closed. What do you think?]

“Wouldn’t they think the person was drowning and try to do something?”

[Therefore. The demonic beasts in the infinite labyrinth are truly full of all kinds of malice, as if they were born to kill humans. Tsk.]

Anyway, these are absolutely terrible things.

[Shit. This is my plan to create a beach.]

“…”

[If such demonic beasts appear, we need a way to control them. No one would want to use a beach filled with the blood of demonic beasts.]

It’s a shame.

If it wasn’t a monster like that and just a monster that could be controlled, it would have been used as a beach.

‘In a place like a game, how did they use the place where the demonic beast appears as a beach?’

I don’t understand.

There is an event where a demonic beast appears, but does that mean the swimsuit event is more important even if you are attacked by such a demonic beast?

That’s right!

The swimsuit event is worth it!

Limited edition in swimsuit!

A character-specific episode presented as a separate character rather than a skin!

And gacha!

Swimsuits are a huge money-making tool for game companies, and anyone can see this through the fact that sales graphs are concentrated on the swimsuit season.

-You don’t have to pick Celica, but make sure to pick Surica.

-What is Surica? Is it Surima Surima?

–Frame-

-No, what is Surika?

-Surika is an abbreviation for swimsuit Serika…

Moreover, what if it’s a character whose performance goes crazy?

-I’m scolded for not being able to pick out Surika. Wow.

-Can’t you?

-Stop coming out, you luge bastard!! I want to see Surika, not that little guy!!!

Those who didn’t get selected become angry, those who knocked on the ceiling become enraged, and those who got it after 10 years become bitter.

Swimsuits have value.

I came here to realize that value, but reality is not a game.

[It’s a shame. Still, I saw one possibility, so I guess it’s okay.]

“Possibility?”

[Yes.]

I brought a piece of an anglerfish tooth broken with a hammer.

[Laura. Could you lend me the back of your hand for a moment?]

“Hmph. Are you trying to test my shield?”

[Okay. If you get hurt…]

“It won’t hurt you, so scratch with confidence.”

[Okay then.]

Pajijik.

I scratched the back of Laura’s hand with a piece of an anglerfish’s tooth, but there was not even a trace of red skin on the back of her hand.

[Mana shield made from myth stones, that’s cool. At least in places where myth stones are useless, it would really be the best armor.]

“I can assure you that there is nothing stronger than a myth stone. This is an item left behind by the ancient gods. I guess it will be the same even if I go down to the lowest level of the Infinite Labyrinth?”

[What if a monster suddenly appears in the Infinite Labyrinth that erases all mana?]

“That is why myth stones are more valuable. Even if all other equipment fails, myth stones will not be damaged.”

In other words.

The myth stone is stronger than any other power.

The myth stone is not damaged, and as long as you have the myth stone, you are very safe when attacked in the infinite labyrinth.

The reason it is invincible but not invincible is because the myth stone has its own penalty.

[You mean it can protect her body up to the total amount of mana contained in the myth stone?]

“…Yes.”

Unfortunately, myth stones are not an infinite source of energy.

They say that the myth stone reduces the enemy’s attack to 1 damage.

What if MP is reduced by 1 for every 1 damage?

So what if we assume that the maximum MP of the myth stone is 10000?

What if all MP runs out?

At that time, unless you quickly replenish your mana, you end up like a pervert fighting in the middle of the battlefield wearing only a swimsuit.

[I must always be careful.]

“Well, it’s okay. Even in the final battle where the fate of humanity is at stake, there won’t be anyone fighting in a swimsuit, right?”

[That’s right.]

It is not a game-like story, but a real life story.

And because it’s reality, I don’t judge everything from a game perspective.

[It turns out that this allows you to fight safely even while wearing a swimsuit. Serica.]

“…Hey, sexy guy.”

[Shin Hwa-seok, the anal beads are yours.]

The second myth stone we obtained.

Replaced with Celica’s swimsuit (skin).
