Chapter 145 – Beyond the 10th Floor
In pitch black darkness.
Even if you open your eyes wide and look around, all you see is darkness.
I put my hands right in front of my face, but I couldn’t even see the figure.
I felt like a blind man.
“Juni, where are you? Por, I’m scared.”
A delicate voice full of anxiety.
At the same time, a subtle vibration and warmth can be felt from the neck.
Jun, who was slightly overwhelmed by the fear presented by the darkness, burst into laughter at the slowly becoming clear presence of someone and then opened his mouth.
“Don’t worry, Por. Because what Por is holding right now is my neck.”
“… Aha!”
“If it’s this dark, you’re likely to get lost, so hold on tight. “Understand, right?”
“Wow!”
With a strong answer, the vibration I felt in my neck completely subsided, and instead, the warmth and softness became stronger.
“Both the notebook and the notebook will stick closely to you.”
“Sisters, I think about this often, but no matter how much you like it, aren’t you acting too much like children? “Think about your age…”
“Youngest, stop.”
“If you don’t want to get hurt, be quiet.”
“… Well, that could be true. Because age is just a number.”
Rebecca corrects herself without even making a squeak in response to the two voices that are as cold as the darkness in front of her.
Why are you pointing out my age? I am also young…
“Honey, what were you thinking just now?”
“… I didn’t even think about it.”
Another cool voice has been added.
Jun realized that he was in no position to talk to anyone. Why does he keep doing this no matter how many times he experiences something similar?
“Ugh~. Dohwa, Observer.”
“Here I am.”
I put magic power into the observer that Dohwa gave me.
Woe! The Observer radiated brilliant light and destroyed the darkness that filled the surroundings.
Naturally, a wildly carved rock cave and stalactites dripping with water come into sight.
Yes. The background of the 11th floor was not a plain, but an underground tunnel.
There was nothing special about the 11th floor.
The environment of the labyrinth changed every 10 floors, and the types of traps, rewards, and monsters also changed to match the environment.
The labyrinth’s environment is by no means friendly to humanity, and monsters have different hunting methods depending on the type.
Because of this, every time the adventurers passed the 10th floor, they had to forget their previous adventures and prepare for a new adventure.
Taking this underground tunnel as an example, unlike in the plains, the observer’s light does not provide a sufficient light source, so I had to pack a torch and a magic tool that emits light in my already insufficient luggage bag.
Also, since the tunnel was not very wide, it was difficult to use long weapons such as spears, and since most of the monsters were agile and specialized in surprise attacks, you had to be careful at all times.
Although there were many restrictions on movement due to the darkness and narrow space, it could be said that the environment was not that bad compared to the upper floors, which were full of poison, lava, and curses.
Nevertheless, many adventurers lost their lives in underground tunnels.
The first reason was that they were unable to skillfully cope with environmental changes they experienced for the first time, and the second reason was that novice adventurers were conceited that they had surpassed the status of beginners by climbing the 11th floor.
Anyway, most adventurers who have just reached the 11th floor have great difficulty venturing into underground tunnels.
There were only very few exceptions.
“How are you, my wives?”
“No problem with Por!”
“The same goes for notebooks.”
“Don’t worry, dear. The darkness is on my side.”
Of course, it goes without saying that Jun and his wives were among the very few.
No, it was unique among those few.
“Tunteun, it’s been a while since you did some work.”
Ting! Ting!
Fortuna, who had suddenly transformed into battle mode, lightly tapped the chest armor she was wearing.
Along with the clear sound of the impact, a faint beam of light emanated from her chest armor. Perhaps because the armor automatically adjusted the angle, the beam of light avoided the eyes and only illuminated the front. It was truly a smart armor.
“It is about revealing every detail thoroughly. Do you understand?”
Flap! Flap!
Instead of answering Dohwa’s question, the pink birds flew up all at once and settled all over the ceiling.
Soon the body turned red and began to emit a soft light like a torch.
“Sweetheart, I will stay in hiding.”
“Already? “Aren’t you overdoing it?”
“Okay. “Because this dark place is no different from my own territory.”
Rebecca smiled cheerfully and then melted into the darkness.
It was difficult to pinpoint her location in detail, even through her radar, perhaps because she had grown up, or because the darkness was as thick as she said.
“Okay, then let me prepare too.”
After confirming that his wives were all ready, Jun muttered softly and activated the triple core.
Radar maximum area deployment
Skill-CPU
Skill-Activation
Skill – Mind Control
The radar, which had been minimized for daily life, was deployed to its maximum and the information collected through it was left to the CPU to be processed.
Since the processing power of the CPU is proportional to the thinking ability, activation was activated to increase the thinking ability, and the mind that was a little anxious about the new environment was controlled with mind control.
Next, preparations for the exploration were completed by casting various buff spells and receiving buff magic from Fortuna.
“Phew~.”
He inspected her body and fixed her head in front.
Jun’s blue eyes calmly looked straight at the dark side of the tunnel.
At that time, as if the timing was right, dark blue eyes shining darkly emerged from the darkness.
Crrr
“The landlords came to meet us.”
“It looks like the owners of this house are doggies. Dog, come here.”
Fortuna chuckled and sent a beam of light from her armor into the darkness.
Wow! A kobold, a bipedal monster dog that was suddenly blinded, began to charge, howling fiercely.
Wedge!
At the same time, an arrow cuts through the air from behind.
The kobold running in front was hit in the middle of the forehead and died instantly.
The dead body fell backwards, unable to withstand the remaining force from the arrow.
The moment the kobolds who were rushing after jumped on top of the corpse to avoid it,
Boom!
The arrow exploded.
Wow!
To prevent the tunnel from collapsing, the power of the explosion was greatly reduced, so no one died.
However, most of the kobolds caught in the explosion lost their mobility.
Kiing
The kobolds who were lucky enough to have suffered minor injuries or escaped damage groaned as if something was strange.
A perfect takedown. The results of the first attack were sufficient.
“Ugh!”
Taking advantage of the confusion among the kobolds, Fortuna dug into the center of the group with her shield in front.
The kobolds couldn’t resist even once due to her incredible power and fell back.
Some of them quickly got up and tried to sink their dirty teeth into Fortuna’s body,
Shoo! Shoo!
The bullet that Jun had thrown hit the critical spot, killing her before she could reveal her teeth.
The rest of the guys on the floor hit Fortuna with their hammers as if they were playing whack-a-mole, crushing her head.
The guys who belatedly realized the situation and tried to run away were completely burned by Peach Blossom’s pink bird spouting flames.
With that, the battle ended.
Even on the 11th floor and above, Jun and his wives were still OP (overpowered).
“Sniff! Sniff! Gulp.”
“Por, no. Jiji, Jiji.”
Our carnivore angel, swallowing and coveting crispy cooked dog meat.
Dogmeat was definitely edible, but I didn’t want to feed monster meat, especially to a bipedal species, since it wasn’t without anything to eat.
Crispy! Puss
“Hing~”
As the angel held on tightly to prevent him from acting harshly, the bodies of the kobolds turned into powder and were absorbed into the labyrinth.
Only a few dark blue magic stones and a few fangs remained as if they were compensation.
The pink bird quickly retrieved them before they disappeared.
Dohwa looked at one of the magic stones before his eyes and frowned.
“Hmm. It certainly looks better than the reward for the 10th floor or lower, but it still seems far short of compensation for the effort you and your sister put in.”
‘It’s not enough. That one thing would cost at least 5 silver coins.’
In Korean Won, it is approximately 50,000 won.
The total number of dropped magic stones was 3, so I earned 150,000 won in less than 10 minutes after entering the labyrinth.
It might be an adventurer party that had to do their best to kill 10 kobolds, but it was a great way to make money for Jun and his family, who could take them down with their eyes closed.
“… Dohwa, I always think this, but your evaluation of me is too generous. Let’s do it in moderation, in moderation.”
“Is that so? I think the small book is a correct evaluation. “What do you think, little brother?”
“I agree with my sister’s assessment. The West, no, all of us are not fit to stay here. “You have to go at least to the 30th floor to feel the right way.”
“It’s the 30th floor. Come to think of it, I said the floor the hero and saint are adventuring on is the 31st floor, right?”
The warrior and the saint have been steadily conquering the labyrinth with the support of the church since they were very young.
Even after entering the academy, she came down to Remum Muni every time she was on vacation and conquered her labyrinth. Thanks to this, she achieved the feat of reaching the 31st floor at the young age of 18.
“Joy! “I made a fuss about just climbing to the 31st floor.”
“By the time you reach that age, you will have ventured to much higher places.”
“Junjun! Let’s break that new record!”
Fortuna, Dohwa, and Rebecca looked at Jun with sparkling eyes.
Wives expect that, so as a husband, you can’t help but respond. Jun nodded his head willingly.
“Everyone, don’t be absent-minded and follow along. Express bus, departing.”
That’s how their own time attack began.
