Chapter 859 – 850 the Road to the Beginning and the End
Yua, who inherited the bright spear, swung it against a steel pangolin just once and then quietly put it in her subspace bag.
The steel pangolin is a demon beast that rolls over and headbutts her with its steel-like scales all over its body.
It’s a magical beast so strong that it can turn a rock into dust if hit properly, but it kills such a magical beast by cutting it in half without even a single touch.
Moreover, since the weight of the light spear was all about the metal stick that served as the core, Yua understood why her father had told her to use it carefully.
‘If you start using this when you are a low-level warrior, you will only develop bad habits.’
She said the same thing to Aunt Isilite, Aunt Anne, and Aunt Ayeong said the same thing. ‘Experience is wealth.’
I told you that my father was a genius who was able to freely use the highest level of defense techniques within a month of holding a spear for the first time. He is, but he is not himself.
You have to see, hear, and experience a lot to become a proper warrior…
=So you plan to use the light spear later?=
=Yes. Anne’s eldest mother advised her that she would be able to use the Gwangmyeong Spear well only when she could at least seriously answer the question of what a spear is.
=Hmm~.=
Yurpa laughed like a cat at the mature thoughts of Yua, who couldn’t possibly be five or six years old, and then hugged Yua.
=Ugh?!=
=Aww, I don’t know how it’s so cute and unique~!=
Yurpa smiled again at the shy squirming reaction and said while stroking the toddler’s soft black hair.
=The holy relics he gave me are so expensive that if I were to sell them, I could buy a castle. Of course, it’s not a sex all together, but one sex per part?=
=… Ugh, uhh. Really?!=
=The belongings and equipment of Lord Ashin are very valuable materially and symbolically. If you donate to the royal family of each country, you will be given a title in return?=
It was only then that Yua began to feel an enormous burden from what she had received from her father.
What if I carry this with me, and it gets stolen or lost? Aside from losing, if others use her father’s relics for bad things, her father’s reputation will also be tarnished.
Yurpa, who saw her infant’s concern at a glance, gently pulled her infant’s soft ponytail and said,
=Isn’t it very burdensome to just carry it around? So~ This is a gift from the eldest mother to our cute toddler.=
She took out the belt pouch she had prepared and placed it in her little boy’s hand.
This is a deteriorated version of Aspend that Yurpa created after analyzing and studying Aspend, the infinite wallet inherited from Hwanin.
=If this belt pouch is engraved as the owner, only that person can open it, and even if it is lost, it can be summoned anywhere as long as the phase power is charged. The inside is isolated from the outside, so it will be good for storing sacred relics as time does not pass. =
Of course, there are not only advantages.
First, the maximum phase power charge is low, so after summoning twice, it cannot be summoned until the phase power is recharged.
It’s a bonus that it costs a day’s worth of phase power for a level 4 magic profession to fill the phase power.
The space is also very narrow compared to the original. If you put a coat, a metal stick, and a small booklet into the beast’s leather clothes, the capacity will be full.
However, for infants, the advantages outweighed all other disadvantages.
You don’t have to worry about the treasure your father gave you being stolen!
=Thank you, Yurpa’s eldest mother!=
Yua bowed to Yurpa, and she quickly put her father’s holy relic and the spear of light in her bag, looking very amazed.
It is a little larger than the palm of your hand, but there is no indication on the outside, and there is no difference in weight with or without weight.
It is literally the magic bag from the old story of a village grandmother.
Yua, who was curious as she played with her magic bag, cooed —… Kuuuuu… She started looking around when she heard a heavy sound coming from somewhere.
The women of Hwanin, who were resting after lunch, also changed their complexion and became alert to their surroundings at the slight vibration transmitted under their feet.
Just by looking at this sound and vibration, you could get a sense of how big the owner of this sound was.
“There’s a huge turtle coming from the north? “You can’t see it because it’s covered by those hills.”
When Hwanyeon announces that she found the owner of the sound using the spirit, Anne and Ayoung are slightly surprised and ask how big it is.
“It’s only a small island, why?”
=Isn’t that enough to be a Walker?=
=I think that’s right? Hwanyeon, let me float in the wind!=
=Oh, I want to see it too!=
Hwanin, who was watching Anne and Ayoung making a small fuss, was able to remember the owner without much difficulty.
It was the creature that made me realize for the first time that this was a fantasy world, and it was the creature that made me miss Bardul.
If that were the case, it would have been Yeongsu or Seongsu, but seeing those two reacting like that makes me wonder if there’s something unusual about them.
As Hwan-in was looking at Anne and A-yeong, Myeong-ri stood by his side and quietly explained things.
“Master. Grand Walker is known in Marianol as the child of the Earth God. “The number is extremely rare, so it is difficult to meet even once in a lifetime.”
“Was it something like that?”
Marianol is a nation that worships the land god. If it were a creature known to be the child of an earth god, it would not be strange for Anne and Ayoung to make such a fuss.
… But is he really the child of the Earth God?
=That can’t be possible, right? Because he resembles the Earth God, ears and bastards just think of him as they want. According to that logic, I would be the child of the water god and Silu would be the child of the sky god. =
At Dene Villa’s sneer, her lover turned to her and gave her a bored look.
=… Why do you look at it like that?=
“I heard that the water spirit is a blue dragon.”
=It’s the same turtle, but because it’s a little bigger, isn’t it called the child of the Earth God? However, the water spirit is a divine dragon and this body is a white and blue dragon. If you think about it, you are much more of a child of the god of water than they claim. Do you have anything to say? =
Hwanin let out a small laugh at Adnevilla’s protest with her brows drawn together.
“You are not a dragon, but a dragon…”
=Ah~! I was already paying so much attention that you said that!? The person who made this body look like this is pointing it out. There is a level of shamelessness!=
This was when Adneville, who got angry, started biting Hwanin’s arm.
When Anne and Ayoung make a fuss and urge, and then make an expression like a puppy being scolded by Hwan-yeon’s actions, the head of the glans, which looks like it has hundreds of years of wrinkles, slowly rises above the sand dune, which is quite high to be called a sand dune.
=…=
=…=
Eventually, the rumble and tremor gradually became stronger, and after a while, a huge turtle that seemed to be carrying a mountain appeared next to the sand dune.
Surely… Looking at it again, it’s huge. It seems to be almost 100 m high from the ground to the tip of its head, and its shell is over 250 m long.
=Wow~!=
=Oh… ! And… !=
Anne and Ayoung are constantly amazed by the majesty of the Grand Walker, which is as big as an aircraft carrier.
Mere size alone does not elicit admiration. However, the movements of the Grand Walker had the composure that comes from its huge size and the elegance of its slow movements, which strangely attracted attention.
Since it is rare to see a creature as large as that, the other women looked on in amazement, but Hwanin suddenly had a thought and looked at Yua, who was looking at the Grand Walker with her mouth wide open.
‘If you do well…’ …’
I might be able to create a good relationship with Yua before I go back.
It’s not very likely, but it might be worth a try.
Hwanin thought so and silently watched Yua, who couldn’t take her eyes off the Gran Walker.
After first tripping into the forest-type labyrinth, Hwanin had a hard time wandering around to get out of the labyrinth and go to where people live.
I experienced a rainy season that lasted almost a week, participated in a dog fight between a heterogeneous species and a demonic beast, subdued the Hob village that came out of the labyrinth, and defeated a spirit entity that must have been the owner of the mountain.
If you look back on the trajectory, you’ll lose all sense of consistency and go back and forth as if you’re wandering through a labyrinth.
‘If you think about it, the grassland area near Twin Mountain was the road to the Evil Faction area.’
Anyway, if you cover the distance in a straight line without considering the jungle, it will take less than a day to reach the forest-type labyrinth.
The original plan was to retrace the path we came from, finish our business in the forest-type labyrinth, and then return to the hall with Yua and his group.
It’s a road we’ve passed twice, so if Ryuhi and the three sisters are there, we won’t get lost, and we’ll gain a full-fledged travel experience by going back.
However, Hwanin changed his plan without hesitation.
“From now on, we head straight to the forest-type labyrinth. The estimated time is about 6 hours.”
Riding Norn, he checked the location of the forest-type labyrinth from the sky, a corner of the jungle shrouded in strange blue clouds, and came down and declared.
“Suddenly? “Didn’t you say you were going to take a more detour?”
“It is common for plans to change during a trip.”
“It’s not wrong…”
The women tilted their heads and began preparing to enter the jungle according to Hwanin’s instructions.
Preparation against the poison ends with Ayoung’s insect-repelling magic and poison-resistance magic, and Hwan-yeon sits on Hwan-in’s shoulder and goes into full surveillance mode for the first time in a long time.
Although they entered the infamous Roatings Jungle in Radsea, the party did not face even the slightest threat.
Although it is called a jungle, it is not a dense jungle. The trees are rather thin and long, and there are vines scattered here and there, so it feels a bit quiet.
No enemies appear, and poisonous insects and poisons do not come close thanks to Ayoung’s secret skills.
Rather, Ayoung chased after the poison and caught it and showed it to Yua and Ryuhi.
=The level of decoding of poisons and diseases also varies depending on how much and detailed knowledge I have about them. So, the poison of this soft-tailed blue poisonous lizard is a biological poison, and it is okay to ingest it, but if it gets into a wound, the flesh melts…=
=Ah, um. Yes. Yes… That’s why my magic had different effects… Ah…=
Yurpa is also in the middle of a lecture, holding Ephnis next to her.
=To be a Buyeo mystic, you don’t just have to be good at making magic tools. You can only become a true Buyeo mystic by absorbing everything related to manufacturing and making it your own, and only by being able to melt what you have learned, seen, and learned into magic tools. =
=I heard it from my sisters. Yurpa is said to be skilled in alchemy and alchemy…=
= Yes, yes. In that sense, sacred arts are very compatible with Buyeo’s secret arts. The Life Shield I gave you was also created by Ayoung and I after putting our heads together and researching together, so you and Ryuhi…=
And Isilite takes the three children, Yua, Huini, and Enel, and explains in detail how to fight in this situation, especially to Yua and Huini, who handle long weapons, and what she felt while using the great sword.
Instinctively, they felt that the separation was not far away, so both the teacher and the recipient seemed to be concentrating on much as possible.
Hwanin also wanted to slow down a little for their sake…
‘You may not have enough time.’
If she doesn’t get it right, she may not find what she wants even if she spends all of her time exploring the labyrinth.
Hwanin began to increase his speed a little more, and the party, who received the secret and sacred magic for movement speed and stamina recovery, was able to reach the forest with a strange atmosphere two hours earlier than Hwanin originally thought.
=Oh. From there, it really feels like a labyrinth!=
It was hot and difficult to walk for a while after we had moved through the thick thorny bushes. As soon as the terrible bushes were over, a shallow valley appeared where a river that was probably 20 meters wide flowed proudly.
And on the other side of the river, a sea of water shrouded in a vaguely blue fog.
=I guess that’s the labyrinth where the master first set foot. … But there are a lot of Froglocks and Lizard Scales in the river!=
=If you just try to cross, you will be attacked. There are too many to deal with one by one…=
=I will catch it. Once you start shooting arrows, you’ll be able to sort it all out in a few minutes. =
As the women exchanged stories while looking at the frog people and lizard people hiding under the river, Yurpa looked at her friend’s expression and asked with puzzlement.
=Baby? Is there something you don’t like?=
“… No. Hwanyeon, you can’t see a rabbit that is roughly 2.5 m long in your detection range.”
“Rabbit? Hmm, I can’t see it in my area.”
Phew— pew pew pew—!
Kererererereek-!
Hehe! Kweeeeek—!
=Wow~ There are so many people coming!=
=Anne. It’s all water over there. Shoot lightning, lightning.=
=Huh? Hmm, I don’t know if it will work… Oh, I don’t know!=
Tsk, tsk tzu tsk—… You’ll fall in love!
=Ah, it works!=
Rumbling — Pretzel Gwang! Kwakwang!!
Keaaaaagh—!
Gegegegegege… !
Sigh, keeh… !
=Wow, I’m floating because I got an electric shock… Eck! More people are coming as if they heard the sound of thunder?!=
=Go further… !=
PPPPPPPIPPPING—
Kweeeeek—!
Rolling – Gwaaagh—!
=Ah… I can’t stand it when I see people flocking to me like that… Hey, I don’t know! Holy shock! Holy blow! Seonghwi’s wave!!=
Shubabababaak—! Pubububung! Cooggggg—!
As Ayeong began to use ranged attack techniques, Norn couldn’t stand it anymore and jumped down the valley and started squeezing the frog people running towards her. Isilite also sighed a little and pulled out her sword and stabbed the hearts of the frog people right next to her. I’m killing it.
Tchichichichi… Piing-
「… Attager! “They shoot poisoned arrows or something!”
=Why are you giving me that? You can avoid it.=
“I didn’t think it was a big deal…”
… The lovers cause a bit of commotion and wipe out the monsters that were occupying the river, almost to a massacre.
Hwanin felt strange because he remembered the first time he had to fight with four Froglocks to cross that place.
At that time, I fought and sweated like rain to catch 4…
“So? “Can you find more things like that giant rabbit?”
“No. That wasn’t the original purpose, so let’s leave it alone.”
Rather, Hwanin opened his mouth at the sight of the lovers making a fuss, as if they were trying to attract all the Froglocks and Lizardscales from upstream and downstream of the river.
“Just stop there.”
They could have passed by quietly, but they feel like they have made too much of a big deal, so they retreat after hearing Hwanin’s story.
Even though the women retreated, the monsters who had suddenly slaughtered their own people gathered at the bottom of the valley and roared in anger.
The noise was so loud that my ears became deaf, and I couldn’t hear anything.
Hwanin looked at Froglock and Lizardscale and spread a wave of tranquility with a hint of core power and brain energy.
At first glance, a golden mist-like wave spread widely along his touch, and the monsters caught up in it trembled for a moment, then lost their murderousness and anger and looked around in a daze.
If you leave them like that for a while, these monsters begin to spin making a clanking sound.
Anne was amazed to see this and asked her friend.
=You can’t suppress the monster’s fighting instinct, so how did you do it?=
“I first created a stun state with Brain Ki and then added a forced tranquility effect with the Wave of Tranquility.”
=Oh.=
=Not ‘Oh.’ It’s so simple to say, but it’s a top-class application technique that combines attributes and abilities and connects them with deep core power. He must be the only person in this world who can do something like that. =
Is it because of my indifferent attitude? After hearing Adneville’s revelation, the women raised their eyebrows and looked back at Hwanin.
=Isn’t it easier to annihilate someone? It’s not a demon, it’s a monster.=
“It’s normal to think that way, but…”
After thinking for a moment, Hwanin thought it would be a good idea to tell him about the goal he had added to his existing goal.
This is the outside of the labyrinth, and as they said, they are monsters, so it would be okay to slaughter them, but if you do something like that inside the labyrinth, you don’t know how the ‘those’ creatures will react.
“Well, inside that labyrinth there is a tiger with blue flames wrapped around its body. I think it’s a spirit creature or spirit beast belonging to the labyrinth…”
When I told the story of my encounter with a blue flame tiger and suggested that I could find the tiger and give it to Yua, the women tilted their heads or showed expressions like ‘Is that possible?’.
=I don’t think the master was mistaken, but… That tiger is not the core, is it?=
“Okay. There was no red aura and only blue flames were wrapped around the body.”
=It’s fascinating. Could there be such a creature in an open labyrinth?=
=Because it is a place where spirit beasts like Green Kue also live. Norn is also my hometown… I think what you said is right.=
=No, I think so too…=
Anyway, considering the fact that they attacked and killed the Hobs and the giant seagulls that were destroying the forest, it seems right to protect the forest.
I don’t know how the six-legged deer was killed, but there’s no guarantee that the blue flame tiger killed the deer, so I’ll skip that part.
“So, once you enter the labyrinth, refrain from meaningless killing, except for monsters.”
=Yes, master.=
=Okay.=
At that time, Baekryeo-gang discovers Froglock, which is preying on its own kind, and frowns in disgust.
=Well, that thing is eating its own kind…=
=A monster is a monster for no reason.=
“Hwanyeon, bury the corpse of the monster you killed deep in the ground. The rest cross the valley.”
As Hwanin, carrying Hwanyeon on his shoulder, jumps down the valley, the women follow him down the valley to the best of their ability.
Ryuhi and Ephnis, who are unable to cross, cross the valley on the backs of Yua and Ennel.
Even when Hwanin and his party passed by, the monsters did not react as if their aggression had been reduced, and Ahyoung was once again amazed.
It’s a technique that completely removes aggression from monsters. If I turn this into a paper and submit it to an academic conference, the academic world will be shocked.
Isn’t this an event that will change the paradigm of the labor world?
There are many techniques that inflict stun. The technology to create a state of tranquility is not limited to waves of tranquility. If you combine them appropriately, you can create unpaid labor…
‘Hey, what kind of thesis is this? It’s useless.’
Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Ayoung followed behind her husband and climbed up the 15 m cliff with light help. At that moment, feeling a cool sensation covering her skin, she shrugged her shoulders and rubbed the exposed skin.
=This is… It’s a mind-invasive power equivalent to a level 7 labyrinth. =
As Ayoung muttered to herself, the women glanced back at Hwanin.
Didn’t you say that you stayed here for a week when you were unemployed? An average person would go crazy for just half a day, not a day, right?
=As expected…=
=Oppa, really…=
Hwanin smiled bitterly at the women’s gaze.
“I was crazy from the beginning. “For a crazy person, violating one’s mind is of no use.”
=Ah. Well, that’s right.=
=What makes that so!=
Slam! Ayeong, who was hit on the back by Yu Lepa, screamed and rubbed the spot where she was hit.
She didn’t stop there, but Lee Shil-te, Anne, and Baek Ryeo also hit her on the back, and Ah-yeong, who was vulnerable to defense due to the nature of Hong-jeop, a highly exposed person, clung to Hwan-in, shedding tears.
=Oh, wow! Mistake! It was a mistake! Please save me!=
Hwanin chuckled at the fearful gaze of the lovers behind her, patted Ayeong’s butt, and began to walk her inside the labyrinth.
