chapter 18
Episode 18
The reason why I came to the temple quickly was because I was afraid that the quest would be cleared by itself once I reached the destination.
But unfortunately, that never happened.
There’s no way this game can give you money so easily.
I had to stay here for at least three more days.
“Nowhere to go. Whew.”
If you go out of the Temple of Rayearth, you have to go down the mountain range, but underneath it all is a desert area, so there was no place to go out.
Unless you’re going to hunt monsters that only live in the desert.
“Come to think of it, I rolled a lot here in the past.”
In the Legolas Desert, there are giant scorpions, thousands of snakes, sand fairies, and more. There are many monsters to hunt.
You can kill them to gather materials to make equipment, and sometimes you can get hidden items if you’re lucky.
But the problem is,
“It’s fucking hard to catch.”
The penalty of desert zone.
hot weather.
Monsters roam in the sand as if swimming in the sea.
And the most important thing here is
“Aslan, bitch.”
As for Aslan, if you step foot in a place teeming with monsters, you’ll be in an inn.
Well, the road to the temple was along a road with few monsters, so it was safely passed, but if it was going out for the purpose of hunting, Aslan had no choice.
“Write-. Still, there are quite a few materials obtained through monster farming.”
It would help me if I made equipment with the materials obtained by killing monsters.
There are few ways to survive in this rough and harsh world with this asshole Aslan.
“I have no choice but to push and go.”
This was my short-term conclusion.
Extreme difficulty does not reward new traits and stats.
But what do you get from items?
No matter how damned the difficulty is, in the end, this is also a difficulty made for clearing purposes, so I thought that growth through items would definitely be possible.
“The problem is how to get those items.”
There is a way to craft items with materials obtained by defeating monsters, and finding hidden items hidden in a specific map can also be a way.
“I’ll have to seriously think about this when I go to the kingdom.”
The skill of momentary supernatural power is only a one-time use.
It is the last room I have.
The opponent doesn’t fight once every time my skill cooldown turns, so I have to find a way to protect me other than that.
Material farming and item production can be said to be the beginning.
“Then, when the right time comes, you can help the main character clear the game.”
Like all games, this one has an end.
And how that ends is entirely up to the player.
The problem was that the game had dozens of endings.
There are happy endings in which the continent remains peaceful, and there are bad endings in which all life on the continent disappears due to extremes.
Depending on what choices you make and what concept you play, the ending will change.
Therefore, it depends on how I act…
“You are a great man. This is Ethan. May I come in?”
I jumped up from the bed I was lying on at the sound of escort knight Ethan’s voice.
A thick voice came out of the trimmed throat.
“Wait a moment.”
“Yes.”
Like a robot, I straightened my clothes and quickly straightened my tousled hair and beard.
Ugh. With this guy’s bluff.
“Come in.”
Ethan cautiously came inside and told me.
“A guest has come.”
“customer?”
Is it Hariel?
Ethan’s face turned red for some reason.
What did you see?
“grow.”
Before the knight could tell everything, someone with a bewitching voice came inside.
The sound of shoes hitting the marble floor was unusual.
“It’s been a while, Aslan.”
A red dress… a dress would suit you.
A woman wearing a short dress with her thighs exposed like a mini skirt and her back and waist not covered by bare skin.
The bright red lipstick and burning red hair tell me who she is.
“… Natasha?”
The great wizard of Shana Kingdom, Natasha Herios.
Here, she is called the Great Mage of Crimson Flame. But i know
another name for her.
Witch of Lust, Natasha.
“You’re still arrogant with a teacher you haven’t seen in a while, Aslan.”
teacher?
Not anyone else, but that archmage is Aslan’s teacher?
It was Aslan’s human relationship that surprised me the second time after Hariel.
“Huh. Even though he’s old, he still looks the same. On the contrary, you look much more coveted than when you were young.”
Ethan didn’t know what to do at her voice full of sexiness.
“Ethan.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Stay out.”
“Yes.”
Usually, when you think of a great wizard, you think of an old man with a long beard.
Of course, there are archmages like that, but not all of them.
There was also a character with a strong personality like Natasha.
[Natasha]
Power: 70
Intellect: 95
mana: 95
It’s an incredible stat.
It’s by far the best of the ones I’ve seen so far.
First of all… Since you say that you are a teacher, you should treat them well, right?
“What are you here for?”
“What is it? I just came to see it because I had an old disciple.”
Be a disciple…
No matter how you think about it, there is no way that Natasha raised Aslan through one-on-one mentoring.
With Natasha’s eyes, she would have quickly judged that this idiot-like character was not worth investing in. Then why did you introduce yourself as a teacher?
‘Natasha held a professorship at the academy, right?’
At times like these, I was fortunate that I was a deceased person.
If it’s a name like Natasha’s, there’s no way that information isn’t in my head.
As far as I know, I remember that she was in the academy until she became an archmage.
Ella Academy is the highest level academy on the continent, sending nobles from almost every kingdom.
When you enter there, all statuses, whether royalty, nobility, or even commoners, become equal.
Perhaps one of the disciples passing by there was Aslan.
If Aslan was a teaching disciple-.
“Teacher and disciple… aren’t they too incompatible?”
It’s very unlikely that Natasha would have accepted such an asshole as a real disciple.
Then she covered her mouth and burst into laughter.
“right. It’s a bit like being a disciple.”
Although she had lived for more than 100 years, her beauty looked young enough to be believed even for an adult who had just turned 20.
Skin like white jade and red lips that seduce opponents.
Intentionally exposed neckline and collarbone. And even the action of exaggerating the legs on purpose.
Everything was her own technique to seduce the other person. And nine out of ten fall for her temptations.
because her ability
[Endless fascination]
Because this is it.
endless fascination.
It was her nature to instinctively seduce others, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
“I tried to teach you what a woman is and what a woman likes and wants, but you rejected it, right?”
what is this again
Could it be that Natasha decided to seduce Aslan?
“At that time, there was no one who did not fall for my teachings, but you were special. Even when it’s in full swing. So you were worried that there might be a problem with that masculine symbol?”
Her smiling eyes were full of lust.
I said before the atmosphere got weirder.
“Tell me your business.”
“Huh. It’s so easy to avoid again. well, good That way I can indulge myself.”
For some reason, that woman seemed more crazy than Aslan.
“What are you planning to do with the Halaz Kingdom?”
All of a sudden, Halaz Kingdom?
“After Yuhan’s death, the Halaz kingdom fell into great chaos. I’m just waiting for the time when infighting has already arisen and we cut each other. And do you know who is next to him?”
Natasha pointed at herself and continued.
“There is our Shana Kingdom. If you and our kingdom join forces, the kingdom of Halaz will come to an end soon.”
“Is this an alliance request?”
“That’s how it is. Our Shana Kingdom wants the Halaz Kingdom. That’s why I want to hold hands with you. That way there will be less blood loss and fewer fights.”
The Kingdom of Shana and the Kingdom of Eli join hands to destroy the Halaz Kingdom.
that’s a good scenario
However, I have a question.
That kind of sound came out of Natasha’s mouth, not someone else.
‘That woman has no interest in state affairs.’
It doesn’t matter at all whether the kingdom goes well or fails.
Therefore, I am not the one who will come directly to Me and say these things in order to destroy a certain kingdom.
She was more interested in other things than the cause of the kingdom.
That is the reason why she is later called the Witch of Lust, not the Archmage of Red Flame.
“Hmm-.”
After I paused for a while, she looked up and down me as if searching for something.
“But to be able to become even more handsome when you’re this old. It’s worth waiting for so long.”
“Is this the time to talk about that?”
“If not now, when will you? Aren’t you a serious guy all alone?”
After all, this woman put the kingdom’s affairs behind her.
Then why the hell did you ask that?

Just to have an assortment?
“how. Don’t you want to taste this delicious fruit that you couldn’t taste at the academy, Aslan?”
The sexual energy overflowing from her body began to torment my whole body.
The flow of blood became faster, and the pendulum movement of the heart also became more active.
Cold sweat broke out in my hands, and a reaction was about to come to my lower body.
Suddenly, her eyes were on her bare chest.
But,
“stop.”
Aslan’s spirit did not budge even in the face of her enchanting sex appeal that aroused his desire.
“I have no intention of giving you my youthful vitality.”
“Yes?”
Her eyes changed.
“What does that mean? Are you young?”
You’re pretending not to know, but you can’t fool me.
I don’t know how she stays young.
After seducing the opponent with endless charm, he absorbed the vitality to maintain that beautiful appearance.
This is a magic that is impliedly banned among wizards, but she didn’t care.
Of course, she had no intention of saying this out loud, but Aslan’s bravado, which was invoked to defend her lust, brushed it off without hesitation.
“I have no intention of becoming your plaything. I have no intention of sacrificing for your youth.”
“If anyone hears it, they’ll think I’m using black magic.”
“Isn’t it?”
Her face became increasingly grim.
“Be careful what you say. I don’t want to kill my old pupil here.”
Her intense sexiness has now turned into a tremendous life.
It was so cold that it felt like it would be frosty in May.
Even so, Aslan’s bravado was not broken.
“I also don’t want to see the blood of my old master here.”
“Such cheeky…!”
As she began to radiate power, the red magic power oppressed my mind and body at the same time.
Natasha’s mana was so wild that the entire room shook.
It felt like my veins had dried up and my throat was constricted, but
“…”
As long as Aslan’s spiritual power is with him, nothing will be revealed.
As I endured it with a calm face, her eyebrows narrowed, and stronger power came out.
Kwa-kwak-! Kwak Kwa Kwak-!!
Before long, the floor was cracked red by her magic.
The force that cut through the floor gradually began to approach me, and the moment it reached the edge of my chair.
“You go there.”
“what?”
“I hope I never draw my sword…”
At those words, the crimson magic power that cut through the floor and approached stopped.
“under! Does that mean you can kill me?”
“…”
I just stared at her without speaking.
Sometimes being silent is more powerful than saying a few words.
Natasha also glared at me like she was going to kill me for a long time, then withdrew her strength.
“It’s quite good. I can’t stand my magic. but. He’s the man who killed Yuhan in one blow, so he’s not bluffing.”
It’s true that you’re bluffing, sister.
“What is your real business?”
“yes?”
“Are you not interested in state affairs anyway? It must be strange in many ways that such a person would come all the way here and make such a proposal.”
Then she leaned back in her chair and burst out laughing.
“Aslan. You know more about me than you think. Were you secretly peeping behind me? That’s exciting in its own way.”
“…”
“yes. You are right. That’s why state affairs are a dog.”
Also my prediction was right.
She got up slowly from her seat.
Even so, he did not forget to secretly radiate sexual attraction.
Like Aslan’s morbid bravado, that endless fascination seemed to belong to the same class.
“But I want to hear the answer. Do you intend to join hands with the Kingdom of Shana to attack the Kingdom of Halaz?”
I answered firmly.
“There is not.”
“The reason is?”
“Because it’s not worth it.”
“yes? What a strange thing. If we conquer Halaz Kingdom, we will be able to become a much stronger nation than we are now, right?”
It’s not wrong, but if that happens, all the kingdoms will pay attention to it, and it may lead to alliances between neighboring kingdoms who feel wary.
Then you are in danger of being pinned down.
Besides, I didn’t want to go to the battlefield.
If you go wrong and get caught in a surprise attack, Aslan, who has no fighting skills, is deadly.
“I touched the quiet Yuhan first, but I won’t hit the kingdom… well, I understand. By the way, Aslan.”
“Yes.”
“This may be your last chance.”
She brought her face closer to me and spoke in a sticky voice.
“This is your last chance to hear my special lecture that you didn’t hear the other day.”
“Go ahead and take a look.”
I opened the door by hand.
“Chit. Not fun.”
Before Natasha went out the door, she stopped and looked back at me to see if she had anything else to say.
“for a moment. Are you because of that? Do you still have that child in mind?”
“…?”
“Ahh. That’s what it was. I still couldn’t forget him.”
What else is this crazy woman talking about?
“But what can I do with this? Hariel has already become the holy sword of the church. She can’t be with any man from now on.”
Hariel?
Do you think Aslan is still unable to forget Hariel?
“this. The Aslan of the world is pure love. My heart is boiling because I want to occupy this more. Whoops.”
“・・・・・・I won’t go far.”
“Tsk. i get it. This heartless boy. Let’s see next time. Then it won’t go on like this.”
widely-!
Finally Natasha came back.
It feels like a red storm has raged and gone.
Cold sweat, which he had been trying to hide so long, was dripping down his face and body, and as Aslan’s morbid bravado disappeared, the remaining excitement did not go away.
“It’s different from seeing it on a real monitor.”
What would have happened had it not been for Aslan’s mental strength?

Just imagining it is terrifying… no. is this terrible?
There were quite a few people in the community who said that dying at Natasha’s hand was a good thing.
It was that Natasha who nurtured so many potential insects. And in fact, quite a few players die at Natasha’s hands.
The reason is that she, who is called the Great Mage of Crimson Flame, later becomes a witch of corrupt lust.
I too was killed by Natasha while playing.
At that time, I saw him die from being absorbed in his spirit only through the monitor, but if I saw that in real life today…
Hmmm. anyway,
“But can’t you forget Hariel? This Aslan?”
Laughter burst out.
No matter how much, it’s because this Aslan couldn’t forget a single woman-.
“for a moment.”
Come to think of it, there was something strange.
It is said that Aslan was not married even though he was over forty.
At first, I thought all the girls would have run away because she has a bad personality, but what if, as Natasha said, Aslan still has Hariel in her heart?
Suddenly everything fit together like a puzzle.
“no way······?”
Why Aslan was alone all this time,
Why, when I saw Hariel, strange emotions came up along with bravado,
At first I thought it would be the fear and fear of death, but if not?
“Isn’t this a complete madman?”
