Chapter 253 – Awakening (2)
A few hours later.
The news I received from Han Yu-jin, who contacted me again, was the news of the annihilation of a B-rank party consisting only of a satyr named Goat Horn, a party with satyrs in it.
The world government’s wizards, who had gone to check on the last confirmed coordinates at my request, were told that they had discovered the corpses of satyrs who had been eaten by dozens of zombies.
After hearing the news that what was found was only a few pieces of flesh that had already been almost torn off and eaten, I sighed and said to Han Yujin.
“Yes, thank you for letting me know.”
-Oh, no. Rather, I am sorry to bring you this kind of news… We are also investigating what happened here…
“No, it’s okay. “I’ll just hang up.”
When I cut off the energy I was giving to the artifact, the communication suddenly stopped.
Again, I put that artifact in my back pocket.
“Cook,” He said.
She grabbed the string that was waving in front of her eyes.
Sati is alive.
She didn’t die.
Rather, I only gained confidence by seeing Sati’s thread heading to a location that was too far away from the coordinates where Sati was supposed to be, which I had heard from Han Yu-jin.
I had no luck when I left the house.
These days, I thought things were going really well.
That can’t be possible.
I’ve never had anything like that in my life.
“Ugh, fuck. My life.”
First…
Sing Sing headed to No. 2 to receive my artifacts that Justitia was currently fiddling with.
“Justitia.”
“…I guess something happened?”
Justitia, who had been fiddling with the ‘Heavenly Armor’ for a while, looked back at me and said that.
“Huh.”
I don’t know what I was getting into, but it seemed like something had happened to Sati, who seemed to be as unlucky as me.
Even now, looking at the thin thread that connects me… I’m having quite a few problems with my personal life.
Justitia looked at me blankly at my answer.
“Urgent? “The artifact still needs some more work.”
Justitia, who noticed that I had come to ask for an artifact without even telling her, asked me that. She looked at the thread of Sati still held in my hand and asked,
“How much?”
“Um… About a day?”
She looked at the artifact and thought for a moment about Justitia’s words.
Haru…
I couldn’t wait like that.
“Then you can’t do that. “Why not now?”
I don’t know what the hell was going on, but it took too long to wait an entire day.
“Hmm… It hasn’t stabilized yet. “If that’s okay with you.”
As Justitia said that, she waved her finger, and I saw the armor of the Heavenly Tiger and the dragon’s claws flying in front of me.
To be honest, if I had the time, it would have been better to just wait a day, but looking at Sati’s threads that were still so thin, it didn’t seem like I had time to do that.
As I came in front of me, wearing the armor of the Heavenly Tiger and the dragon’s claws on her waist and hands, Justitia spoke to me.
“Because I was a little greedy… The consumption will be much greater than before.”
“Are you okay.”
Because I have grown a lot more than before.
Srrrr order!
As she infuses energy, ‘Heavenly Armor’ and ‘Dragon Claws’ cover her entire body.
I asked after seeing two artifacts whose appearance had changed quite a bit in the few days I hadn’t seen them.
“What are all these?”
The thing that changed the most was that it had wings on its back that didn’t exist before.
I asked, wondering what this was, and Justitia said.
“I mixed up Karura’s abilities a little bit. Originally, mixing the unique abilities of each species in this way would not have been possible, but Hanzo is different, right? “Do you want to check it out?”
She nodded at Justitia’s words.
From what Justitia was talking about, I thought it would be okay to move as if using Karura’s racial abilities, so I tried that.
Sigh, I said.
I saw wings spreading out behind my back.
“How is it?”
“It’s comfortable.”
Wings, I could have just taken them out anyway, but it was much easier with the help of the artifact.
It’s a bit vague because I didn’t use it often.
“So, what is this?”
The most noticeable change was the wings that appeared on my back, but when I saw that the dragon’s claws had something more on them, Justitia said,
“Oh, that’s Lilith’s.”
“Lilith?”
Previously, the abilities of the Succubus race were considered too unique, so they were excluded altogether, but this time, they seemed to have added something by strengthening it with Lilith’s pussy hair.
“Lilith is a bit different from a typical succubus… I excluded it back then, but she’s different now, right?”
That’s right.
Right now, I can now use level drain with ease.
A true succubus… Even compared to Lilith, the succubus queen, she’s a mere drop in blood.
Thanks to this, I was able to somehow overcome the difficult daily defensive battle against my wives, who were physically much stronger than me.
I was able to survive by throwing straws at my wives and working hard to drain the level.
If there wasn’t a level drain, it would have been buried underground long ago.
The cause of death is Boksangsa.
“Anyway, so what is this?”
“Yes, try it out.”
I tried it when I was told to try it.
Just like with the wings, I tried using it with the feeling of bringing out the Succubus’ racial ability, Level Drain, and I could see the pattern on the dragon’s claws turning red.
Other than that, I couldn’t feel any other changes, so as I was tilting my head, Justitia spoke to me.
“Hanzo, would you like to hold my hand?”
“Huh? What…”
When I held Justitia’s hand out to me, I realized what this was.
A huge amount of mana was sucked in from Justitia.
“Roughly speaking, you know what it is, right?”
“Huh.”
The dragon’s claws now have a mana absorption option.
It seemed that the dragon’s claws had a level drain thanks to the attachment of Lilith’s pussy hair.
“Other than that… The durability has only slightly increased. It had already been stretched to its limit, so there was no way to do anything with just a little more. “Because it is less optimized, the efficiency compared to output will not be as good as before.”
“Yeah, well… That’s okay.”
Looking at the approximate amount of energy consumed, it seemed like I could last half a day in a full artifact state.
If it had been the previous Heavenly Tiger armor or dragon claws, there would have been no problem if I just wore them all day, but that was only half of what I was wearing, but it was okay.
Since mana absorption has become possible, it will be possible if you are good at it for longer than that.
It was enough.
“So, what’s going on? Suddenly.”
“Hmm…”
After thinking about it for a moment, I decided to just say it.
“…I think something happened to Sati.”
“Sati, the satyr?”
“Huh.”
Justitia, when I ran into Sati here, I had never seen her since Singsing was in Room 2, but I had talked to her several times, so she knew who Sati was.
Anyway, the situation that Sati was in… I don’t know what she was caught up in, but when I told her that she seemed to have been dragged by someone much further than here, Justitia looked at me and said,
“Huh…Yeah. So, I guess that’s why I wanted to go save it myself.”
“…Yeah, well.”
“Perhaps Lilith will be very angry if she finds out? Not only Lilith, but also Hoaran will do the same. “I guess Carmina and Karura are like that too, right?”
“…I guess so?”
It was clear that he would be very angry for getting involved in something dangerous.
“And, I… Hmm… This is what makes me feel bad. Yeah, it doesn’t feel very good.”
I had nothing to say to Justitia’s words.
I haven’t discussed anything with Sati yet.
To sum up her situation roughly, from the perspective of her wives, including Justitia, I, her husband, think that her mistress is in danger, and that I will go there to save her.
And that too, to a place where I don’t know whether I myself will be in danger or not.
“…Hanzo, if I stop you, what will you do?”
“…”
“Yeah, well. I thought so. “Because Hanzo is greedy.”
Hearing, Justitia raised her body.
And then he reached out his hand to me.
“…?”
“I will help you. Because it would be much easier that way. “Later… I’ll hear something, but… Yeah, I’ll think about that later.”
I thought it was too flashy, but Justitia’s original personality was like this.
“You said you were going to look for it, do you know where it is?”
“Yeah… It’s a bit complicated to explain, but I can roughly figure out where it is.”
“Gift’s abilities?”
You’re really quick-witted.
“…That’s right.”
“That’s interesting… I really want to investigate it properly later…”
I wish you wouldn’t do that.
First of all, my gift is attached to a dick.
“…If I do that, I’ll incur resentment from everyone, and I don’t want to do it either, so I won’t do it.”
Fortunately, Justitia also said the same thing, so it seemed like she didn’t want any trouble from investigating my gift.
“So, Hanzo? What direction?”
“Uh… It’s over there.”
Said Justitia, who nodded her head as I pointed out the direction in which Sati’s thread was pointing.
“Roughly, how far is it?”
Uh…
When I told her that it would take quite a bit of strength for her to find out there, Justitia hummed and nodded her head.
“Then tell me when you get closer.”
Just like that, Justitia snaps her fingers.
“Wow!” And in an instant, Ssing Ssing arrived not at No. 2, but somewhere completely different.
“Still the same?”
“Uh, uhh.”
Seeing Sati’s thread still pointing in the same direction, she nodded, “That’s pretty deep,” Justitia snapped her fingers once more.
“Wow…”
I felt like my stomach was turning inside out, probably because I was spatially transferred three times in a row.
All the more thanks to the fact that every time Justitia snapped her fingers she moved in 100 km increments.
“Did you say here?”
“…Yeah, roughly around here.”
Still, she suppressed the feeling that made her stomach turn and nodded her head in response to Justitia’s question.
“…Yeah, I don’t feel anything in particular. “Are you really here?”
“Uh… But.”
When I looked, there was nothing around.
The deeper she went, the more she should have seen Hecaton Cheires-level zombies, but without even that, she looked around at the truly empty surroundings and looked at the thread of Sati that she was still holding in her hand.
“…This is the right place.”
But, something was a little strange.
Obviously, the end of Sati’s thread was shortened to the point where it was visible, but there was actually no Sati at the end of the thread.
“…This is the right place.”
Where on earth is it?
As I looked around and saw that there was nothing, let alone Sati, Justitia said to me.
“…Hanzo, would you like to step back for a moment?”
“Huh.”
As I stepped back, I saw Justitia reaching for the spot where I had been a moment ago.
And then, Justitia’s hand seemed to swell in anger and then changed into something like that of a dragon, with huge claws.
Ban Yonghwa…
Justitia, who had changed part of her body into that of a dragon, tapped the air with her claws and spoke.
“Yes, as Hanzo said… I guess this is the place.”
And then, Justitia’s hand seemed to grasp the air…
Blah blah blah.
Just like that, the air that Justitia was holding collapsed.
And, along with the collapsed void, a cave that was not there a moment ago appeared before my eyes.
“…What is this?”
When she reached out and felt it, she saw that it was clearly a cave.
It was right where I was standing just a moment ago. As I stood there blankly looking at the cave that suddenly popped out, Justitia said.
“…This is a dimensional barrier. “If Hanzo hadn’t told me to go here, I wouldn’t have found it either.”
“Dimension barrier?”
“Yes, because this dimension is very unstable… In reality, it is overlapping in several layers… You can think of it as a gap between the overlapping dimensions. “It is a high-dimensional barrier that forcibly keeps the gap between dimensions that have not yet been properly connected… And makes it its own territory…”
“I’m sorry, Justitia. “I’m not sure.”
“…Well, you can just think of it as a barrier that even I cannot normally detect. “Being able to recognize dimensional gaps is generally impossible…”
I still wasn’t sure what it meant, but I decided to say so.
Anyway, it’s a level of barrier that even Justitia can’t normally detect…
“…I think it’s dangerous.”
“Yeah, I guess so. “It looks like he was very angry, probably because he forced it open.”
It was as he said.
Right away, even I could feel the signs rushing out of the cave.
Seeing that the thread of Sati, which I thought had been cut off, continues deep inside the cave…
“Clap,” He said.
Were Honeybee’s poisonous stinger was pulled out from her dragon claw.
This side has changed too.
Compared to before, I saw the dragon’s claws protruding in a more ‘fingernail’-like shape, and as I prepared for battle, I saw things crawling and jumping out.
“Keeeeek!”
“This is so fucking true.”
And then, a dark-looking creature came out of the cave.
When I saw those bastards that I had seen so many times, I was furious.
“Is it you again, you fucking bastards?”
