Chapter 130 – Episode 130
Unfortunately, the development of potions using centipedes did not proceed easily.
The biggest problem is that centipedes rot within 10 minutes after being caught.
When you prepare other ingredients and then catch a centipede, it is difficult to match the timing of the preparations.
After catching a centipede, it takes more than 10 minutes to prepare it, and it rots.
To solve this problem, I waited right next to him and handed him a copy of the centipede that I had put in [Storage].
The elven alchemist was not good at handling centipedes.
Although I had sufficient skills, I was unfamiliar with the idea of doing alchemy with this expensive centipede.
Even if you catch it right in front of the nose, it takes 3 minutes to tear off the shell without causing any damage.
It takes 2 minutes to cut a piece of flesh without hurting.
After tearing out the internal organs for 5 minutes, grind some parts in a mortar.
The usage of some parts is determined, such as boiling them in hot water, but then it runs out.
No matter how many times I repeated it, I kept failing as if my skills were not easily improving.
It’s been a month without any real results.
“I’m sorry…”
“Ugh… That’s a shame.”
Lacey, a shaman and interpreter, eventually gave up.
“@^#$&#$$!!”
“What do you say?”
“If you give me a little more time, I will practice…”
“How much?”
“I think 50 years will be enough.”
“I’m going to die of old age!!”
After all, a long-lived elf.
As a human, my concept of time was different.
‘It’s really unfortunate, but I guess I’ll have no choice but to find a more skilled alchemist.’
I nod my head roughly and put the freshly [Copied] Head of a centipede in my mouth. Chewed.
It was gross and disgusting at first, but after eating this for over a month, I got used to it.
It was delicious, and I felt good, perhaps because the more I ate, the more my mental strength recovered.
Gulp while feeling the delicious taste of centipede head fill your mouth! I swallowed it.
[Edit] Due to the mental energy I wasted while working hard, my severe headache got better quickly.
After laughing and continuing the toil for a while, the screen of the labyrinth map changed.
[Edit] LV.39
“Hwiwoo~ Finally, 39?”
Starting from 35, A-grade items can also be copied.
I was able to do it, but the headache I felt was so severe that there was a limit to the number of times I could do it.
I tried an experiment to celebrate turning 39, and now it’s about 15 times lighter.
When I passed 20 times, I felt a headache.
After 30 times, it became unbearable.
“Ugh…”
He furrows his brow and summons a centipede to hit her head! Damn! Damn! After chewing and swallowing, the headache quickly disappeared.
After eating about 4 of her heads, I felt completely cured.
“Whew. It would be better if it was developed into a real potion.”
It still works well.
Fully charge your mental power with just 4 centipedes.
What if the effect is strengthened with a potion?
What if it’s easy to make a potion and eat it?
What if you could fully charge your mental power in one gulp?!
“Ugh… I need to find an alchemist quickly.”
When I got up from the wooden sofa, the alchemist who was urgently combining reagents looked at me and was surprised.
Her eyes turned from me to Lacey, who was recognized as my secretary.
“@#$&&#$$#@”
“@%#^*$%$@?”
“@#$@#^&^%$$”
The two had an incomprehensible conversation, and then the alchemist bowed his head deeply to me.
“What do you say?”
“I think it will go away soon. I say so, so please be careful.”
“Okay. “Continue experimenting.”
“@$#^&&$#$#$!!”
“I don’t know what they’re saying, so I study Korean if possible.”
I smiled softly and copied the cup ramen box from the labyrinth map and placed it on the sofa I was sitting on.
“If research and development is successful, I will give you 10 more boxes.”
“@$@^#$$#!!!!”
I still don’t understand, but seeing your sparkling eyes makes me do my best! Isn’t it?
As I came out of the tree house, the elves patrolling came up to me smiling brightly.
Just like the alchemist, he said something I didn’t understand, but his face was smiling.
Light pink cheeks slightly flushed within a gray face.
There was absolutely no atmosphere hostile to me.
That’s right.
“Okay, okay. There is a lot of trouble patrolling. Everyone, please eat some ramen as a snack.”
They have become slaves to modern goods that I am slowly unraveling.
Elves live with nature.
Born in nature.
Growing in nature.
Die in nature.
It was like that until now.
Not anymore.
America’s famous elf was addicted to the pleasures of modern culture.
I am addicted to the pleasure that sex gives.
After becoming addicted to dopamine, I had no intention of returning to the elf forest.
The Grayleaf elves here were also born in nature and have lived until now.
Until he met me, he lived quietly in nature.
But you met me.
Let’s unravel cup ramen and mixed coffee, the essence of science, little by little, and nature goes crazy! Long live civilization!! He opened his heart to me.
Even if you just have to pay for it right now, hold the cup ramen in your arms like it’s a treasure and nod your head towards me! Nod! I bowed down.
Those two elves will probably finish their patrol and go back to the guard station to enjoy some delicious ramen.
‘The elf is addicted to ramen…’
After waving at the guards who were walking away, I walked back down the street and Lacey was right next to me.
“Jinsu’s ability is always amazing to see.”
“Even if I praise you, it doesn’t come out.”
“Well, I didn’t mean to say that!”
“Really?”
“… Wouldn’t it be nice if you showed a little mercy?”
“Boy. I feel it. “When I get home, I’ll give you a taste of Zero Mint Choco Fried Noodles.”
“Zero Mint Choco Stir-Fried Ramen… It’s a name that sounds like something amazing!”
“It’s amazing.”
It’s such an incredible ramen that the developer’s parents were scolded by people all over the world.
As I was walking along the road, thinking about releasing a nuclear bomb in the elf forest, the village chief, Refilia, slowly approached me.
“Launching. “
“Oh. Has it increased a lot?”
Other elves find modern water gates simply fascinating! Good night! When she accepted this, Rephilia wanted to explore a little more deeply.
Furthermore, I am also learning Korean.
“Thanks. Everything.”
“Thank you is an informal way to say it. Respect is gratitude.”
“Thanks. Everything.”
“It’s all done informally… That’s it. So what happened?”
“Outside. Different. Human. Come.”
“Hmm?”
Normally, she would have listened quietly even though she was frustrated with her Korean education, but the vocabulary was unusual.
“Lacey.”
“Yes.”
Lacey took a step forward and chatted with the chieftain in their language.
After a few words were exchanged, Lacey’s eyes widened.
“What’s going on? “Has an outsider come?”
“Yes. It is said that another human came into this world following Jinsu.”
This is a labyrinth, and the gate is unmaintained and abandoned.
Even if it’s Nanase right now, you can come in if you want.
If there is a problem.
“How many people?”
“There are 8 people.”
“8 people?”
The number was too many.
I thought Nanase and Masao came in to look for me, but things change when there are 8 people.
“What do they look like?”
“Everyone covered themselves with black robes.”
“Rob… Could it be that there was someone wearing a pure white mask?”
“There is no white mask. However, it is said that before the humans split up, they pounded their hearts with their clenched hands.”
“Oh shit.”
“Jinsu?”
I don’t know how they found out, but the Black Robes are probably the Labyrinth Church.
They must have traveled all over Japan to chase me down after eating the golden key and ended up here.
When I looked up and looked at the sky, I saw a large moon that had not changed for over a month and illuminated the surroundings.
“Lacey.”
“Yes. “Jinsu.”
“Barrier. “Can you hit it again?”
“It is possible, but it will take time to prepare.”
“How much?”
“It will take at least 3 days.”
“Was it such a great barrier?”
“… Jinsu broke through it so easily, but it is a deadly barrier filled with the secrets of the Gray Leaf tribe.”
“Ah. “I’m sorry.”
Anyway, it’s been 3 days…
“How long does it take for an outsider to get here?”
“Without a barrier, it would take less than 12 hours to be discovered.”
“It’s absurdly insufficient.”
After stroking my chin and thinking for a while, I got a good idea.
“Lacey. You prepare the barrier.”
“All right. “What will you do, Jinsu?”
“I have to go buy some time.”
Squad leader of the Labyrinth Church’s Japanese branch action group, No. 32 [Arashi].
He was wiping the sweat running down his forehead and was alert to his surroundings.
The Labyrinth Church must not leave any traces.
Therefore, basically, the robes they wear have a [Stealth] Function.
Even if the robe’s function is used properly, superpowers below Class C will not be able to find them.
In addition to the robe, if you have the skills of a squad leader like Arashi, you can even avoid the eyes of B-class psychics.
But.
‘Tsk! This labyrinth is even worse than the rumors say.’
The hiding used by humans is artificial.
It was impossible to hide from the spirits of darkness born and active in the nature of darkness.
For a brief moment, as Arashi opened his eyes and moved his gaze from left to right, I felt something alive behind me.
[Die! Human!!]
The spirit of darkness pulled out a sharp blade and attacked Arashi from behind.
It was a surprise attack coming from outside my line of sight, but thanks to my vigilance, I blocked the spirit’s attack with the dagger I was holding.
“Get out!”
Use Arashi’s ability, [Explosion], To explode the spirit sword in contact with the dagger! And exploded.
If it were a normal monster, its flesh would have been torn to pieces by the explosion, but spirits have physical resistance by default.
The spirit retreated due to the loud explosion sound and shock, but there didn’t seem to be much damage.
“Tsk!”
Before entering this labyrinth, I tore up the [Divinity] Scroll I had prepared just in case.
The dagger sparkles as if it is imbued with the power of light! Sparkle! It shone.
Perhaps because the dark spirit thought it was dangerous, he slowly gave up his life and retreated.
Arashi filled the stone on the floor with the energy of an explosion and threw it towards her spirit.
The stone flew quickly and hit the floor with a bang!! And it exploded.
The spirit’s center of gravity was disturbed by the physical force of the explosion.
In a short moment, Arashi [Explodes] The soles of his feet and approaches at incredible speed.
“Wow!”
The dark spirit reacted hurriedly and tried to block with her right arm.
Suddenly!!
[Aaaaah!!]
It was cut off by a sword imbued with the energy of light, which was its fatal weakness.
It was a spirit’s body composed of magical power, but the wounded part seemed to be imbued with the power of light, and the spirit was gasping for breath without being able to regenerate.
“I’ll put an end to it!!”
The moment Arashi approaches the spirit to ensure victory.
Her eyes turned black.
The tree turned black.
The weeds have turned black.
The world.
It became black.
“Oh, no?!”
Confused by the sudden situation, he jumped backwards and widened the distance between him and the spirit.
At the same time, I took out a light magic tool that illuminated the surroundings and checked the surroundings.
I lifted her head and looked at the sky.
“Well, what on earth is that…”
The pure white moon that was bright just a moment ago.
It turned black and lost its light, as if it had been eaten by darkness.
