Chapter 97 – 097. A New Home Is a Dungeon (2)
“Impossible… ? What do you mean?”
“It is as I said. We have concluded that the master’s combat power is unmeasurable.”
“… Why?”
“Because I’m not sure about the figures this object produced.”
Erin, who had a puzzled look on her face as if she couldn’t understand what Emilia was saying, couldn’t say anything back. Alex, who was quietly listening to her, asked,
“Why are you not sure?”
“As a result of this object calculating the master’s combat power, the master’s measured value came out to be about 32,000.”
“… By the way, how much am I?”
Until now, Illyana and Aisha were the only ones who had measured their fighting power through Emilia.
The number was 70,000 versus 10,000, so the difference between the two was too great, so there was too little data to compare whether Eunhyun’s number was high or low.
“We analyze the information of the new person. Estimates of the target’s expected combat power are around 22,000.”
“… There’s a lot of difference. Does that mean that even though you have calculated the measurements, you cannot consider yourself correct?”
“That’s right.”
“Why?”
The answer to the question was not from Emilia, but from a completely different party.
“It’s simple. This is because there are factors that cannot be taken into account in numbers.”
“Princess?”
Her party members turned their attention to her in response to YuRia’s words.
“What is an inconsiderate figure?”
“It is a number. It contains the most accurate and honest information in the world, but it is also the means with the highest possibility of conveying the most incorrect information. Emilia, is it you who showed us the battle between the man and the doll that took place in that place called the ‘Palace of Trials’ through streaming?”
“That’s right.”
“Can you guess the fighting power of the dolls he faced?”
“It is set to a combat power between about 30,000 and 40,000.”
Upon hearing those words, Yuria continued her words with an expression of ‘as expected’.
“According to this doll’s calculation, the one who should have lost the fight between that man and the doll army should have been that man. But the reality was different. Because the man showed how to neutralize all the puppets with his powers. In fact, in terms of numbers, it’s a one-on-one battle with a figure of 30,000 or 35,000 in terms of combat power, but in a one-on-one fight, it was a condition that the dolls couldn’t lose.”
It can be said that they are equal in power, but they are at an overwhelming disadvantage in numbers.
“In such a situation, the reason why the man was able to beat the doll army was because he had a superior judgment ability that combined his abilities, experience, and skills.”
“Mmm.”
Alex moaned.
Previously, I recalled the memories of sparring with Eunhyeon at Illyana’s house underground training ground.
When he thinks of Eun-hyeon throwing away his sword and poking himself into his arms, he still feels goosebumps all over his body.
It stopped just before touching Alex’s body, but that alone forced him to admit defeat, and Eun-hyeon’s attack, which hinted that he would die the moment he was hit, had that much power.
The difference in skill was evident, but Alex vaguely sensed the meaning of effort and time contained in Eun-hyeon’s skill.
“Technology…”
Dumbfounded, Alex chewed on the word, lost in thought.
“In other words, in measuring Emilia’s fighting power, she can only measure the amount of magical power she possesses and her body specs, but I think it means that she cannot measure uncertain factors such as her personal experience, skills, and sense of battle.”
“That’s right. If you add up all the fighting power of the Dominus doll unit, the figure is close to 890,000. However, the master’s combat power was only about 30,000, and the master’s odds were close to 7% based on this object’s calculation. We concluded that the combat power of the master who broke through this probability could not be measured using only the analysis technique of this object.”
It meant that there were so many variables about the existence of Eunhyeon that it was difficult to accurately measure his fighting power.
“I can feel that he is a really great human being just by hearing his words…”
Aisha, who felt like a non-human being, muttered with her despondent face.
“Um…”
Erin also made an expression that she was troubled by something, but she immediately asked Emilia a question.
“Hey, Emilia-sama, you said earlier that Hyuni’s fighting power was about 30,000, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Did Illyana-sama say that there are over 70,000?”
“That’s right.”
“That… How many of the people you’ve analyzed so far have exceeded 70,000?”
“8,678 people.”
“… What about those over 30,000?”
“171,487 people.”
The number of about 170,000 did not reach me that much.
Considering that there are currently about 1.6 million people living in the capital of the Kingdom of Pernias, the main reason was that the number of 170,000 did not seem that big.
However, Erin did not let go of her doubtful expression.
“That… How many people have you analyzed so far?”
“52,878,923 people.”
“…”
At those words, all the party members stopped her steps and looked at Emilia.
“170,000 out of about 53 million… ?”
If so, even if I calculated it in my head, it also meant that one of the 0.3% higher beings was Eunhyun.
“No, wait a minute, then the Black Witch…”
Aisha, who had a pale complexion, spoke of Illyana’s existence, and all the party members who realized that she was a high-ranking existence among 8,000 out of 53 million people couldn’t shut her mouth.
“… How many humans have a combat strength of over 20,000 so far?”
“6,845,709 people.”
“Damn it, it suddenly goes up.”
However, Alex’s level is also in the top 12% based on Emilia’s data, and she is by no means a weak axis.
Nevertheless, what they realized was the overwhelming difference between Eunhyeon and Illyana and themselves.
It also gave a tremendous sense of loss to Alex and Yuria, who realized the difference.
“You are still far away. The stomach is truly endless.”
Nonetheless, Alex felt that he was more than happy to be able to grow and not stagnate here.
It was a moment that made him feel that although his family and status were in the highest position except for the royal family in the kingdom, the world was wide and there were so many people above him.
“Wow… As expected, Hyuni and Iliana-sama are amazing…”
“Erin, I don’t think it’s just a matter of admiration…”
“Just leave it alone.”
Eira and Eleanor looked at Erin, who was admiring her bright eyes, and sighed.
“Let’s hurry up and deal with the monsters and make them come back.”
Following Alex, who became curiously motivated, the party members began hunting the monster.
◆ ◆ ◆
“It’s new, but it’s surprising. You willingly offered to help with the construction of the house.”
For Eun-hyeon, even before she left for the expedition, she originally intended to build a house in the deepest part of the labyrinth of Archis by herself.
It was unexpected that Illyana, upon hearing his plan, willingly offered to help herself as well, since it was honestly not expected.
Illyana heard Eunhyun’s muttering and replied with a calm expression.
“I’m going to build my room and lab here. And it’s not free help.”
“I guess so.”
“What happened?”
“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Aga, she secretly tipped me off. You said you cried?”
“…”
Eunhyun hardened her expression as if she was embarrassed.
Regardless of how she found out, it bothered her that someone had seen her own tears.
Soon she realized that Erin had taken care of herself as she helped her to bury her when she noticed that Archis was the cause of her Eunhyeon’s low mood.
“I can’t. She’s got her on your nerves.”
“Well, how are you? So? What is it?”
“… I just realized what a pitiful person I was in the past.”
“Huh…”
Illyana glanced at Eunhyun’s bitter face and didn’t ask any more.
‘I think I’m okay again…’
“Then let’s begin.”
“Huh.”
Eunhyeon started to produce various building materials using the power of ‘replication’ in exchange for her magical power.
[Are you starting now?]
‘Yes. The boundaries are ambiguous, but if it is judged to be unclean, Urud-sama will stop it, right?’
He said that the authority he would use from now on was to create materials that would be used to make things that were at a level that did not match the civilization of this world.
It was an action that would never be allowed for Eun-hyeon, who was forbidden from interfering excessively in the world’s changes, but things were going a little wrong for Eun-hyeon now.
[No way. My older sister is probably watching you from the divine realm, so she has already decided to leave the use of all of her child’s powers to me. I allow it, so feel free to use it.]
In fact, most of the building materials Eunhyeon summoned now were earth’s cultural relics, including concrete.
Until now, there were many restrictions on the power of ‘replication’ to intentionally develop this world’s civilization or to avoid being abused, but with Belldandy’s manifestation in the underworld through Eunhyeong, some of those restrictions were lifted.
The goddess gave her permission to use it as much as she wanted, as long as it was used for personal purposes without harming the world.
As for how she had endured it until now, as soon as her goddess gave her permission, Eun-hyeon was experimenting with making various objects like an unbridled colt.
Previously, the mana pulse bullet she and Illyana had produced for testing was also one of the results of that experiment.
In fact, from the moment this restriction was lifted, Eunhyeon was looking for a space to utilize it.
At that time, the great labyrinth of Archis was decided.
What kind of madman could think of setting up his own living space in a dungeon.
This place becomes a secret space only for Eun-hyeon, whose existence is unknown to outsiders, except for the people she thinks are her own, the people of the Armitas family, Princess Yuria, Merdin, and Aisha.
‘My own secret base is the same as every man’s romance.’
[The child sometimes mumbles such incomprehensible words.]
“Could you have made something other than that weapon?”
It was the first time I saw a scene where something other than a sword or weapon was created, so Illyana asked with interest.
“Oh, I didn’t know, but it worked recently.”
“Huh.”
Illyana was looking at Eunhyun, who lied without blinking an eye, with a strange gaze mixed with nasal sounds.
Illyana had noticed long ago that it was not magic, but the ability of something else that the laws of this world did not apply to.
Although it is an item produced through magic, it is impossible to use magic only with magic without going through any magic formula.
But Eun-hyeon makes it possible.
Eunhyeon dismissed it as magic and did not tell the truth, but Illyana was just passing it on.
Waiting that one day she would tell me.
Eunhyun, not noticing Illyana’s gaze, was immersed in her work with her happy expression, which is rare to see.
She showed Illyana the blueprints she had taken out of her backpack and directed her work.
“I’ll ask for the rough skeleton, interior columns, and exterior walls. I’ll do the rest myself inside.”
“Okay.”
[Four digit magic]
[Psychokinesis]
Coo goo
Huge-sized concrete, already hardened and shaped, began to rise into the sky thanks to Illyana’s magic.
Through her psychokinesis, Illyana, who had come to dominate the entire space within a certain range, set up the enormous size and weight of concrete at the location indicated by Eun-hyun and fixed it firmly by moving her fingers.
It’s as if she’s using magic to make a huge prefabricated toy.
A large-scale construction work began with great vibrations and thick dust.
