Chapter 357 – You Can Do Anything to Survive (1)
Life is war.
It is a repetition of struggle, and humans always struggle with something to survive.
It is like that now.
We have to do whatever it takes to survive, killing the undead and stealing the city’s goods are all for survival.
Per-eok.
I wish it were a game.
As a virtual reality game, I wish a system window would open in the bottom left corner saying ‘Experience has increased’ every time I deal with an undead.
But that’s not the reality.
Every time I kill an undead, the undead’s flesh splatters around.
Thanks to the magic applied to the Doombreaker, the flesh attached to the outside falls off with the explosion, but as soon as it is cleaned with magic, the flesh of other undead immediately sticks.
No matter how undead the opponent is, cutting down or killing something in human form is bound to cause mental fatigue.
The area on the 51st floor was filled with heretics, and my head felt dizzy in a different way from the mental stress I experienced in the bestiality hell.
It is similar to the feeling of killing a monster.
The feeling of destroying an undead is similar to the feeling of killing a regular monster, and the feeling is also similar to the feeling of killing a ‘person’.
Wow!!
The undead get angry and rush at me.
It opens its mouth wide, its purple eyes engulfed in the magic of the infinite labyrinth sparkling, and it runs forward with its arms wide open.
If he wasn’t trying to swing me with his sharp, shiny nails, his appearance, his would have been as if he was pretending to hug me.
Per-eok.
I am sending one more animal.
It mercilessly swings the undead around, sending them crashing into the wall and hitting the heart area with Doombreaker.
Pak!
The sound of even the magic stone inside the flesh breaking ringing in my ears.
The feeling of the flesh being crushed flows through the hilt of the Doombreaker and throughout the body.
‘Let’s get used to it.’
As a Luge Permaton, this is a feeling that you must get used to.
The feeling of killing something.
When I give the order to kill people in the castle, the soldiers and knights will actually feel this sense and kill people.
As such, I should know better.
I must know the mental fatigue that humans experience when killing something, so that I can boldly give instructions to my subordinates.
Just as a person who has suffered as a soldier can best understand the hardships of soldiers when he becomes a general, if I know the sense of fighting and killing in the field, even through the labyrinth, I can think about how to comfort those protecting the territory.
“Whoa.”
“This side has been cleared.”
Celica, who was assisting next to me, swung her sword sharply and cut the undead apart, along with the door.
There are no undead left in this area.
Inside the building, which is believed to have been a church in the past, there are no longer any immortals blaspheming God, only things that were.
“Well, it looks like everything will be sorted out soon, so why don’t you take a break…?”
“I was already planning to rest once the 45th floor was cleared and I entered the 46th floor. I guess I should go up and have some serious sex.”
Of course, the answer is sex.
The best relaxation is sex, and having sex will help you get rid of this unpleasant and dirty feeling.
Even if it is just a moment of pleasure.
“As soon as I go up, I’ll give Bernhardt and Lambert’s knights a day of freedom. If I leave it to them, I’ll take care of the mental health of the knights, so tell them to fuck as much as they want after the battle in that area.”
“Count. How about testing the alcohol and giving it to you?”
“Alcohol? Ah, that Tavnobel?”
Currently.
The golem unit led by Evelyn is pulling dozens of wooden carts woven through magic, and the carts are piled high with food obtained from the journey down.
Naturally, foods stored airtight in preservation containers, such as Tabnobel, are the items we bring the most after flour.
“Yes. Although they are not hundreds of years old, the dozens of bottles of 40-year-old bottles we secured from the labyrinth alone would be worth hundreds of millions of Lugecoins. If you give them that, they will also rejoice in the victory along with the alcohol.”
“Don’t you want to drink too?”
“…They enjoy drinking too, and shouldn’t we, the Knights of Luna Hall, also relieve our worries with alcohol?”
“Do you want to drink or do you want to have sex?”
“I want to have sex with you on the bottom, and kiss you on the top with a drink in my mouth.”
“Anyway.”
I lightly slapped Celica’s butt.
Although she is wearing a knight’s uniform and a battle coat, the blow must have been transmitted to her swimsuit and buttocks under the coat.
“I’m going to drink as much as I want, but I have to control that information. Don’t say that you drank Tabnorvel.”
“…What are you planning again?”
“Even if we tell them to pour and drink, we have to sell it to the other party at a high price, say hundreds of millions of dollars.”
“Ah.”
Perhaps because Serika had been living with me and often heard my plans of her, it seemed as if she read my thoughts as soon as I spoke.
“You are planning to hide the fact that Tavnorvel appears in the Infinite Labyrinth and sell it at a high price to wine collectors in the empire.”
“Wouldn’t it be a success if we sell just one bottle through Charlotte?”
“If the Count had been an ordinary person born outside of Permaten, he would probably have become a hugely successful con artist.”
“Why don’t you call him a businessman? Or a great manager.”
Hehe…”
I was able to take a deep breath thanks to Celica, who smiled leisurely.
As Celica relaxed, I relaxed as well, and she didn’t need to use Doom Breaker any more.
Gooooo.
Is it because this place happens to be a church?
Light began to twinkle in the front yard of the church.
“That is…”
“It’s a portal that goes down to the next floor.”
“The creation of a portal means that the mid-boss mob was taken care of, right? I don’t know which knight took care of it, but I hope no one got hurt…”
“We need to collect it as quickly as possible.”
I took a magic tool from my arms and threw it high into the sky like a shot put.
Hwiiingㅡㅡㅡ
The magic tool that flew vertically-
Pa—-ang!!!
It exploded like a firecracker and spread red fog.
As soon as the red fog covering the blue sky of the city dispersed, people began to gather one by one towards the church where we were.
“Grunt.”
Everyone was in a bad state.
There were a few damaged parts of the armor, and there were quite a few minor wounds.
“Who is seriously injured?”
“It’s unfortunate, but thirteen royal knights were bitten by the undead.”
“…You won’t become undead, right?”
“We treated him on the spot and used purification magic. We treated only the serious wounds and are now in isolation and detention, so we will continue to monitor the progress.”
“…Anyway.”
It is a war, but it is different from a regular war.
“Did you let your guard down when you first entered the labyrinth, or was it because even undead killed people?”
“There is the former, and there is the latter. I guess among the undead in this city…”
“There was a mix of men, women and all ages. Haha.”
Among the monsters that appear in the Infinite Labyrinth, the immortal undead are only undead, but since this stage is no different from a regular city, many thoughts must have come to mind during the battle.
Even if you were as determined as I was, your body might have stiffened when you saw the being that appeared in an instant.
For example, if a child becomes undead and attacks us.
I mercilessly defeated the undead with Doombreaker, but knights who first experienced the malice of the Infinite Labyrinth and who came as adventurers had a low resistance to malice.
“If he goes up and becomes undead due to the curse, if he loses his mind and tries to kill the people, then he is an enemy of the Fermaten. Tell him that he will be killed mercilessly.”
“…What about becoming undead?”
“The undead are the same as the undead.”
I glanced at the drivers walking on the other side of the street.
There are two types of knights walking in a circle behind Nero, who takes the lead.
One group is the knights who form a circle with Nero and point their swords inward.
The remaining group are knights who walk unarmed with their arms tied with rope or something.
These are people who have been hurt by the undead.
Those are not just wounds, but people bitten by the undead.
“Count.”
“Queen. Just a moment.”
I comforted Nero’s worried shoulder and stood facing the knights.
“Yes. I came to the Infinite Labyrinth because I was worried about the queen, but how does it feel to come to the Infinite Labyrinth, which normally seemed like nothing? It feels like nothing?”
“What happens to us?”
“Well, it’s nothing. If you are kissed by a succubus, you will be cursed by a succubus, and if you are eaten by a canine monster, you will become a werewolf or something like that. If you are bitten by an undead, won’t you become an undead?”
“Well, like that…!”
The knights fell into despair.
Normally I would have said, ‘Just be careful,’ but I was the one who brought them in here.
And they did not come here with any vanity, but to protect Queen Nero and to fulfill their righteousness as knights of the kingdom.
If they become undead, the responsibility lies with me.
“It’s okay to become undead. The most important thing is that even if you become undead, you don’t have to kill people or commit crimes.”
“Yes…?”
“Aren’t undead knights? I’ll find a way somehow. Whether it’s making you a knight who overcame death, making you a living knight of death, or applying another curse to turn you into another being before becoming undead, I’ll find a way. I will give it to you. Of course…”
As long as you don’t become undead and harmful people.
“Fermaten will be a place that can accommodate even the undead.”
“…”
“As long as you can have healthy sex without getting sick while having sex, there’s no reason why you can’t live as an undead in the sacred place of sex.”
“Yes…?”
“Rest assured. Even if you become undead.”
If you want to live in the kingdom of sex, if you want to become a subject of Fermaten, I will provide a way.
“I’ll let you have sex without any problems, so don’t worry.”
