Chapter 591 – Enter the New Royal Labyrinth and Find the Legendary Beauty.
The party members seemed to have somewhat adapted to the blue fog.
Even if Luna wasn’t by her side, she was breaking through the ruined royal capital by making her own path.
“I always feel this, but everyone is dependable.”
“Okay, all we have to do is walk.”
As Luna and Nemesis said, there was no battle on the way to the cathedral.
All the monsters in front had already been dealt with and passed by.
-Drurr.
-Klick. Kklik.
Still, the possessed equipment hidden at every corner of the road appeared and interfered.
In this royal labyrinth, there were more skeletons and moving objects than zombie-type monsters.
No, it was said that hundreds of years had passed since the destruction, so I thought it was strange that there were corpses with flesh still attached.
“Fire.”
-Boom!
My flame magic turns the ghost monster into ashes.
They couldn’t even get close to us.
“That’s amazing, Jageun.!”
“You got stronger because of the protection of another goddess… Wow.”
As expected, they were high-level party members, so I noticed right away that I had become stronger.
After all, who would hug a woman during battle?
“I have to become strong to protect my woman.”
“Awesome. Jageun!”
Luna’s bean pod was tightly wrapped, and her eyes sparkled no matter what I did.
That’s why I also loved Luna so much.
So much so that I want to hug him tightly and bite him right now.
“Tch. I want to protect you.”
Nemesis wanted to protect me as a goddess.
Because she is a being of higher status.
She wanted to guide me to what she valued.
Although the two felt different, their feelings for me were the same.
In the past, they tried to sacrifice me somehow, but now… Hehe.
Now we were colleagues moving forward together.
That alone made me feel happy.
“Ah~ Isn’t there a beautiful woman passing by~ I want to join our party~”
“Looking for a woman here… Sometimes I feel like you don’t really seem like a person.”
“Hehe. I like it. I believe that Jageun will save all the beauties!”
There were some party members who were dissatisfied with my plan, but there were none who completely rejected my wishes.
-Quuk.
“Ugh.”
Because you had a good time with me just a moment ago.
To some extent, he was following my words.
And they both knew very well how happy this relationship was.
“Where is the woman here? There are only skeletons and ghosts.”
“Well, what if it’s a ghost? It’s okay if it’s pretty.”
“Yes. If that’s you. Kkeut.”
If Nemesis, full of rebellious spirit, agreed, it was the same as the other party members agreeing.
With such ambition, I arrived at the cathedral, which looked relatively fine.
“Why are you so late?”
“Nya~”
I saw three beauties resting in front of the cathedral.
Sister Colia shouted first with a bored expression.
“Jageun was walking around looking for a beautiful woman!”
Sister Kolya’s expression became darker at Luna’s shout.
“Haha~”
“What are you laughing at? We didn’t come to have fun!”
Kolya’s older sister complained that she was frustrated when she saw me being so playful.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Colia. I’ll focus.”
“I wasn’t going to do it. If it had been later, the three of us would have gone in.”
When she was alive, older sister Collia was an adventurer who valued efficiency and time.
So when she came to the labyrinth rather than the village, she seemed more passionate than anyone else.
“I’m sorry. This time, I’ll try to clear the path by myself first. Sister Colia.”
“Do you think you can do it alone? You barely blocked my sword. No matter how much I cut that barrier, it’s useless.”
“It’s different then and now. Then, do you want to make a bet? If I solve that problem, I win. If not, my sister wins.”
“Bet? Hehe. Good! If you win, you get what you want!”
“Call!”
I decided to play with her older sister, Kolya, who was upset.
Because adventurers like to bet.
I used this method, and as expected, Sister Kollia accepted it right away.
“I’m on Jageun’s side.”
And the party members also started betting.
Angelica gave me a wink.
“Nya. There’s a lot of energy in there. I’m Colia. It’ll take me a year to break through.”
“I am Jageun! Jageun is strong!”
“Me too, Jageun. Even though this guy is weird, I can handle things like this easily.”
Many colleagues raised their hands in my direction.
If so, you have to respond.
“Transformation.”
I didn’t hesitate.
I faced the cathedral with the skills I saw.
“What. What. The atmosphere has changed.”
“Hehe. I have to win the bet, sister.”
Strange gray energy flowing throughout the body.
On the outside, you may not feel that there is much difference from the previous transformation, but…
That’s right. There is no big difference.
I thought I had gotten better, so I used it when confronting God. But there was no change in my appearance compared to when I used the existing transformation.
If you are looking for something different…
I wonder if this gray energy has penetrated into my body and even my soul.
So I was able to use stronger and more powerful power.
“I’ll take care of it quickly.”
I entered the cathedral as if I was teleporting.
“””Better. Ah. Haaa.”””
Upon entering the cathedral.
I saw ghost priestesses with their hands folded.
Many priestesses came to protect their cathedral.
No, he was making an endless voice to prevent him from entering the center of the royal capital.
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
As I approached the priestesses.
A sound wave containing a curse flew out and made her whole body tingle.
But… It is impossible to stop Master Park Ja-geun, who passed God’s ordeal just like this!
I firmly resisted the low-frequency barrier and approached the priestesses.
“How can we get here. You can’t go into the city anymore.”
“I can’t let you in.”
The priestesses were very wary when they saw me breaking in.
“Aren’t you tired.”
“We can protect it only if we are there.”
“Don’t worry. It’s okay.”
These are priestesses who do their best to protect something.
They were truly settled here.
I wasn’t deluded or controlled by something.
They were purely creating a barrier.
“I feel sorry for the priests here, more than for the people who are supposed to be protected. How can they stay here for hundreds of years?”
“We are… Fine.”
“Everything is for the Kingdom of Shuru.”
The priestesses guarding this place think this is normal and say it’s okay, but…
I felt it.
The sadness and despair of women.
“I guess I’ll have to become an invader to save you all.”
“No. If you go to the city center.!”
“Many people will be in danger.!”
They were priestesses who cared more about those inside than themselves.
But I decided to destroy the power of the priestesses by force.
“Withdrawal from the contract.”
The new blood magic that eroded the gray power appeared.
Suspicious patterns and letters caught the barrier emitted by the priests.
“Ah. Our myth barrier.”
“I can’t believe it’s collapsing in vain like this.”
I thought this cathedral was the only one with a barrier, but when I looked closer, I realized.
In order to enter the center of the royal capital, one had to break through the voice barrier maintained by these ghost priestesses.
“… I’m sorry, priests. I wanted you to see the essence.”
“If it’s the essence.”
“Yes. I hope you know exactly what you were trying to protect and protect it.”
A huge screen was seen behind the cathedral.
It broke through the priests’ barrier and at the same time tore down that suspicious screen.
“Ah.”
“This. Makes no sense.!”
The priestesses are facing and talking to what is behind the screen.
“That is the truth.”
The royal capital center had already been destroyed.
A royal castle full of fear and evil energy.
Numerous spiritualized monsters were swarming around.
“How did this happen.!”
“Wow. The royal road is already there.”
The priestesses were in despair.
It was believed that the brilliant kingdom was being protected through the suspicious curtain that covered the cathedral.
But the truth was the opposite.
“You have been seeing lies all this time.”
“Ah. Ah.!”
“Blah. Blah. The things we did. Blah.”
It was believed that the priestesses were working hard to protect the royal capital even as ghosts.
But the reality was that the labyrinth was being guarded.
“Black…”
“Kwaaaaang.!”
“… I’m sorry. I came late.”
All the priestesses were sad and wailed.
Although they were ghosts, they looked like living people.
“… Who told you to create this barrier?”
“Black…”
“The prince.”
“It’s the prince. Hehe.”
Was it the prince of this kingdom who ordered you to protect the ruined saints?
Probably not.
I thought it was clear that Labyrinth was playing the role of a prince.
When you look at it that way… It seems like this labyrinth guy likes playing with people’s hearts.
“Uh. Hey! Jageun!”
While I was thinking about the labyrinth, my curious older sister, Colia, came into the cathedral.
“Oh~ Sister. I think it’s resolved well.”
“I can tell that just by seeing that the barrier has disappeared.”
Sister Kolya came closer to me and drew her sword.
“I guess I lost the bet. Let’s take care of the rest first.”
“No. Wait a minute, those aren’t monsters.”
As I stood in front of the ghost priests, Sister Kolya tilted her head and stopped in front of me.
“… Jageun. No matter how much you like women, ghosts are a bit…”
“If you think about it that way, my sister is also a monster, so what.”
“… Is that so…?”
She was immediately convinced and sheathed her sword.
Hehe.”
“All the things we’ve done.”
After seeing the sad priestesses, older sister Kollia looked at me.
“What’s wrong with them?”
“I think I have seen the lies created by the labyrinth. They really believed that they were protecting the capital with their own power.”
“Uhm. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but. You mean I was deceived?”
“Well. Something like that.”
After Sister Kollia came in, other party members also came into the cathedral one by one out of curiosity.
“Is this place nice?”
“… It’s so sacred that monsters can’t enter.”
“Maybe I can spend today here?”
“Still. I’m scared of ghosts.”
The cathedral guarded by ghost priestesses was a very good place to use as a base.
“Hey! You guys, don’t drag your feet. If you want to attain Buddhahood, do it quickly!”
Of course, it was all good, but there were still many ghost priestesses in sorrow, so Nemesis felt uncomfortable.
“Hehe. Don’t be like that. Everyone stays because they feel unfair.”
“That’s right, Nemesis. How could you have been here for so many hundreds of years. Sob. I’m in tears too. Nemesis.!”
“Whether you do that or not, you still hindered us!”
She was a Nemesis goddess who could not sympathize with the sensibilities of the priestess.
Of course, Luna and I understood very well.
How unfair and sad it must have been.
I wonder how many things I wanted to do and how I dreamed of finishing this difficult work.
Even if she faced the truth, the women’s resentment did not go away easily.
“Nemesis. Why not make this cathedral your temple with her priestesses over there?”
“What? Why should I do that?”
“It’s pitiful~ Let’s accept those priestesses as believers~”
“A place like this, a temple, just to receive those spirit bodies? Ugh. I hate it! Only dirty energy will come in!”
“Why baby~ I’ll take care of you.”
“You. You! You look obvious! Furthermore, you think I don’t know that you’re doing this because you want to sleep with those spirits!?”
“Ah~ Did you get caught? This is why the goddess is so perceptive.”
-Kwaak.!
“Ugh.! Let go of this!”
“Hehe. Nemesis~”
“Even if you say it’s okay to stick to it like that, it’s absolutely not possible.!”
Nemesis said he didn’t like her.
But let’s see if I can hate it until the end.
