Chapter 310 – Life Is Hard Mode (2)
Rouge Permaten is a gacha character.
Although she is a 1 star, she is a character that can be fostered and added to the party, although she is annoying.
In other words, this is a character that can enter the infinite labyrinth.
But you can’t enter the infinite labyrinth?
It doesn’t make sense.
There may not be a system in this world, but it cannot exist systematically.
As the previous fearless Permatens might not know, it makes no sense that the Rouge Permaten cannot enter the labyrinth.
The reason that Fermaten could not enter the infinite labyrinth in the first place is a frame created by history.
In such a frame, history has oppressed Permaton, so until now, Permaton has been confined to writing a hundred, and has only had to deal with her daughter.
Hard mode has not been opened until now because no one with Fermatten blood has ever entered the Infinite Labyrinth.
It doesn’t make sense at all, since the people of Fermaten made such a fuss as if the world was going to end when they even got close to the Infinite Labyrinth.
But now it’s different.
Although I felt a little afraid of the unknown situation that would unfold, I was confident in the ‘familiar appearance’ of the infinite labyrinth that changed as soon as I stepped into it.
‘It’s hard mode’.
As soon as I saw the state of the count castle, I had an intuition.
I was convinced as soon as I saw the unique and familiar effect that appeared the moment I clicked on hard mode.
‘It was a system that opened the hard mode in response to Fermaten’s blood.’
Of course I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.
I thought it was natural that I would run away as soon as I went inside, but even if I did run away, I just thought that monsters would be created inside and pour out like crazy.
However, the labyrinth was very stable.
Rather than just changing, it seemed like they were saying, ‘Come in and see us.’
‘If it’s like this, it’s shit.’
Even though I skipped the story, I am a person who thoroughly scraped the floor on hard mode.
In order to collect gems for single shots, to collect character pieces, and to raise the ‘stars’ of the characters, I went through all of the hard modes.
At least I don’t know who comes from which story.
‘I know which mobs and goods come from which floor.’
This is my stage.
This is the stage where I can perform more clearly than anyone else in the world.
Look.
Like now.
“Count!”
“Head–!”
Wow.
I hit the Doom Breaker at the undead knight running toward me from in front.
Pass.
Although he was wearing full body armor on his skinny body, the undead knight was thrown to the ground by a powerful blow that shattered his skull along with the horns on his helmet.
Pushii…
With the sound of the flame fading, the ominous shadow emanating from the body of the undead knight dissipates like fog.
“Are you okay?”
“Ah, of course. Celica, put down the knife. It’s dead. Look.”
Smoke filled with black and purple energy flows out, and something rolls on the floor with a ‘popping’ sound near the undead knight’s heart.
“This is absolutely not the size you would expect to find on this floor, right?”
“…Amazing, Count.”
Celica, who was right next to me, stuck out her tongue as she looked at the magic stone I gave her.
The magic stone was so large that Celica found it difficult to hold it in one hand. It was literally as big as a ‘heart’.
‘This is hard mode.’
It is infested with demonic beasts that may appear from the 10th to 20th floors or lower, but the rewards are much more overwhelming than what you can get on the 10th floor.
“Look at this magic stone. What do you think?”
“Big…Beautiful.”
“Right? Haha, how much money does this cost? No, regardless of money, how much is the efficiency?”
If the gem is the size of a golf ball on the 10th floor, but is the size of a baseball on the 10th floor of Hard, who wouldn’t challenge Hard?
‘It’s a shame that nothing else comes out, but it’s efficient as is.’
It is quite unfortunate that all the rewards in the game come in the size of magic stones, and that no other rewards are available.
I guess there was no way to make character pieces, gold, etc. Appears.
‘Rather good.’
Rather than just giving something in kind that cannot be used as compensation, it is more beneficial in terms of usability to give a magic stone with that much value.
“If this amount of magic stones continue to come out… It might not be a problem to get even more magic stones than before.”
“Of course. There are only a few people we can mobilize, but there is an even more overwhelming reward.”
If you consider the layers of the labyrinth to be levels, it is safe to say that hard mode is about 10 levels more difficult than the existing layer.
It is true that stronger enemies will appear, but our knights already have enough skills to easily attack the 50th floor.
Besides my Luna Hall Knights, there are more than a few people going crazy over Infinite Labyrinth’s ‘Hard Mode’.
“Kiyaaho—!!”
That red-haired warrior who will deal with the undead knights with a maniacal laugh.
“Ooooohhhhh!!”
A warrior who crushes the faces of the undead by swinging his gauntlet at the helmets of the undead.
Haha!!”
It’s Bernhard, an old man with an ax who is laughing and chopping new types of monsters in half.
‘I can’t stand new content.’
The new knights of our Fermaten Knights – the ‘Deep Dark Angel Knights’ are the so-called ‘Payoen Group’ led by Bernhard, the former leader of the Adventurer’s Guild.
There is no bottom to the infinite labyrinth until the 50th floor.
There is no content.
If you keep going all the way to the 50th floor every day, the maximum level will naturally be 50.
In other words, the stagnant water is overflowing…!
Even if some adventurers have left this place, rejecting my rape dictatorship, Fermatten is now overflowing with people who have become stagnant while living with sex.
It is safe to say that all of the people who are leading with me, nearly 20 people, are all ‘maximum level’.
“Celica. Don’t you want to go on a rampage with them like you did in the past?”
“…Undead don’t taste good when cut.”
“Hehe, that can’t be helped.”
Serika is also one of those payoens, and she has been starving for many reasons.
Think about it.
I’ve been farming content in the Infinite Labyrinth for decades, and even though I’ve reached the 50th floor, the same monsters pop out every time.
However, when I went in with Rouge Permaton, an enemy much stronger than before appeared from the 10th floor?
Even though its level is 10 floors higher, is it a new type of monster that I have never fought before?
“Burn———!”
There, the red-haired mage, who had been just a pure countess until now-but was famous as an adventurer in the past-is also exploding fire magic with an excited look on her face.
“Lady Janice! Be gentle!”
“Sorry, my firepower is too strong!”
“I have nothing to catch!”
“That makes me even more sorry!”
Even the current succubus, who was active as a wizard adventurer before being cursed, fires magic missiles to take down monsters.
Zenith and Astarotte.
As they have grown into wizards worthy of hanging out with the Jet Black Angel Knights, they are erasing monsters while showing off their skills, which are significantly different from the previous year.
“If you come across any strange-looking magic stones, tell me!”
“Tell me! I’ll introduce you to the succubi!”
“You think all you have to do is have sex!”
“Virgin Succubus!!”
“Good—!”
…Fighting in front of others may actually be because there is a different purpose, but how can I just sit still and watch people fight so hard?
“Laura, Serica. If you find any myth stones, let me know immediately.”
“Is the person who took care of it the owner? Hmm, then that makes me redundant.”
Laura gently raised the bow made by dwarven craftsmen forward.
“I guess I could take out a real weapon instead of this. Oh, does it make a difference?”
“If only there was one more.”
You can no longer make weapons with myth stones, but if you have one more myth stones, making a weapon is no problem.
No matter how great a weapon made from a magic stone is, a ‘divine weapon’ made with the power of a myth stone has neither ordinary firepower nor magical power.
“I’m sorry, Commander Laura, but please give Shinhwaseok to another knight.”
“Why?”
“Are you the only one who gets pregnant? We have to get pregnant too.”
“Pooh.”
Of course, we will have to discuss how to use the myth stone later.
“Count!! Soon, the boss room will appear ahead!”
“Already? That’s fast. Wow, just by looking at it, you’re shouting, ‘This is the boss room.'”
I stood in front of a tall iron gate, like the gates of hell.
“Count!”
“I told you, I will take the lead.”
“But… !”
“If the king does not step forward, who will follow him?”
Black fog flowed out from inside the iron door that was split to the left and right, and I held the iron door with both hands and opened it in front of everyone.
In fact.
I know what the boss is, so I have the guts to do it.
“Oh…!”
I stood proudly in front of everyone, opened the door and entered the boss room.
Crrr.
In the middle of a wide cavity, a snake-like monster is looking down at me with a staff-like thing stretched towards the top.
It’s like dancing with a pole.
Or, as if the judge of hell was waiting for us, coiled in the middle of the scale.
Keyshaaaaa!!
The monster opened its mouth wide and threatened me.
‘As expected.’
Since it was as expected, I am very disappointed.
“Roughly speaking, I would say his name is Minos.”
From now on, only that monster will come out day and night.
“Don’t disturb, get out!”
I grabbed the Doom Breaker, ran forward, and took a big jump.
“This is my labyrinth–!!”
Bah!
Hard 10th floor.
First boss, pot, cut.
“Ah, this doesn’t show up as a myth stone.”
Unfortunately, the mythological stone did not appear.
