chapter 41
5th floor – Lv. 98 Blanchet(3)
The girl noticed that the other party was looking after her to some extent when she was holding the dagger.
There was no time to think, ‘Why?’
He does not use any weapons built into the suit or hidden throughout the body.
It’s just a simple dagger or chess.
Nevertheless, the girl felt the greatest threat after entering the labyrinth.
I’ve never done it before, but I think it’ll feel like this if you’re facing an uncle.
sensations all over the body.
It’s not just a matter of life or death.
The taut tension reads highly trained techniques from the opponent’s movements.
This is the so-called battle of masters.
There is moderation in the movement of the blade.
Infinitely linear and efficient movement.
It was a little different from the family technology that the girl knew.
Blanchet’s slash was a move to make the attack more successful than to have strong power at a glance.
This is an action to kill only people.
Girls are different.
What she learned was non-human objects.
Even if it becomes a large beast, it is disappointing enough to just stab it.
It is a movement that is faithful to the power of a single blow that carries even the rotation of the body and strikes it with all its power.
The difference was huge.
The girl knew she couldn’t win in just three rounds.
Your opponent is not a monster. just human
Even if it was an Orc, the girl’s method would have been better to inflict sufficient damage on that huge rice cake stand.
In a human-to-human battle, the girl’s movements were extremely inefficient.
However, knowing that fact and watching the opponent’s movements right now does not mean that you can immediately follow them.
Instead, what the girl remembered was the movement of her uncle, who had always been watching closely.
I didn’t show it to anyone, but I even practiced separately.
That beautiful and effective attack movement is something that deserves to be learned.
again after a few sums.
Blanchett’s eyebrows twitch.
The girl’s movements were slightly different.
And I realized that it was making a big difference.
The action of cutting and stabbing becomes more and more concise.
Specifically, it resembles Blanchett.
Highly disciplined skills with the same goal are meant to resemble each other.
Even if the starting point is different, if the pursuit is the same, they will eventually merge into one.
To some extent, their movements overlap each other as if looking in a mirror.
Blanchett read his traces in the girl’s movements.
I didn’t think so for a good reason.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just there, Blanchett’s thinking stopped.
Music box.
this asshole.
lightning strikes
A rechargeable stunner installed in the glove boosts the voltage.
It’s called Shockwave, and it boasts enough lethality as its strong name, but now with minimal output.
Exactly just to stun.
The girl quickly realized that too.
If it was a lightning strike, he was severely beaten on the second floor.
The shock planted at that time may have slightly increased the reaction speed.
For a brief moment, it was a purely technical competition, so the unused skills were unlocked.
[dash]
[Track Play]
It cuts and passes by forcible movement by skill.
It didn’t fit the first time.
Shortly after a minute passed, less than a second, the girl’s figure was cut again in a blurry way.
This could not be avoided.
Blanchet, who was charging lightning, had to feel a burning pain in his side.
It’s a pain I’ve felt for a long time.
I was fed up and smiled.
You are growing well.
The dagger flies A very skillful and stealthy throw.
Blanchett threw them face to face and shot them down.
The girl’s eyes lit up with astonishment.
It’s like I never imagined it.
And Blanchett disappeared.
This is not the bluish space movement we saw earlier. It disappeared immediately with no delay.
stealth? optical camouflage?
No.
When the girl’s accident barely reached the existence of the [Flashing Dagger], her arm was already seized.
He tried to escape, but to no avail.
The strength of the opponent is stronger.
It was bent and twisted and tossed to the floor.
The whole body screams.
He is a superhuman from the beginning, and his body has gotten stronger after coming to the labyrinth, but as far as the floor vibrates… … .
blurred vision. The last thing I saw was Blanchet’s faint eyes.
I thought I couldn’t figure out why the eyes were like that, and I lost consciousness.
Even in the midst of thinking ‘Are you going to die?’, there is a face that comes to mind first.
I’m sorry, uncle… … .
* * *
I feel the air change.
It’s not just the stomach of a giant snake.
Of course, it’s humid and muggy thanks to that, but the sense of incongruity I feel right now is that I’ve entered the dungeon.
Quetzalcoatl’s stomach is a kind of hidden dungeon.
Because it is so large, a small ecosystem is formed in the stomach of the body.
The time was greatly reduced by omitting the mouth, which is the entrance, and entering in the middle.
It is a blunt weapon rather than a blade to subdue the lumps of flesh that attack.
The beaten loser staggers and retreats.
Since Quetzalcoatl is still standing, it is easier to go down.
If you were careful where the stomach acid was stagnant, you could move without any major problems.
From the beginning, this hidden dungeon itself was not on the high side.
That’s because getting in is a huge challenge.
If you beat the boss with force without the unique gimmick, Quetzalcoatl is a monster that should only appear after the kingdom.
actually appearing.
It’s a pity that I drank all the healing potions now.
The intestines are prone to injury.
If you take that blood and make ‘Blood of Quetzalcoatl’, it will become a doping agent that can’t compare to griffon.
The blood of the polyp is the most versatile doping, as it always gives all-stats.
No major complaints though. Odd floors are always finished on Plan B.
It’s moderate in that it doesn’t even ask for a power show or a shit show.
Happy. It’s just that the plan you’ve been thinking about in advance will only go wrong.
Blanchett’s existence is unpleasant, but it’s like a natural disaster anyway.
You just have to hide and wait for it to pass.
I was a little surprised at the more cooperative attitude than I thought, but let’s just say good things are good.
Not all threats can be considered. If you don’t know what’s going to happen, it’s necessary to play a game that excludes the number of cases to some extent.
bang!
Shock rides through the snake’s entire body.
He drew the dagger with both hands, held it in, and held out.
The boss, who was once again crushed by a lump of solid rock, twists his body and suffers from pain.
They seem to be doing well on the outside.
Digestive fluid that had accumulated everywhere was overflowing and shaking.
Monsters are not very common dungeons, but if they touch them, they die instantly. There is no healing potion now.
I think it would be better if phase 2 starts sooner.
the moment you think so.
The snake vibrated its body violently.
Phase 2 begins. good night. Now, grab what you need quickly and finish this boss fight.
Experience is distributed in the order of contribution, so it seems that it is possible to level up quite a bit.
Now, even with my poor stats, the mind map slowly extends to the area of the lieutenant skill.
This is a section where skill dependence increases in earnest, not to the extent that it is of little help, including mastery.
Tighten the body more tightly to prepare for a situation in which the snake’s body will lie flat.
At that moment, an urgent message from the goddess was heard.
“Blanche and the little boy are fighting! The kid will lose!”
The only child the goddess is talking about is the girl in our party.
Wait, why?
‘Chaos, didn’t you agree to watch over it so that it doesn’t happen?’
“No, this one suddenly used a fluoroscope and flew through the blinking system.”
‘Did you write that? It takes a long time to charge, so I’ll save money.’
Blanchett in any world did not easily use outside equipment.
As long as he comes out with 17 years of memory, he knows the concept of durability.
High-performance equipment should be conserved.
But now it’s the human mind, not the AI. It is unknown what kind of whim caused the drastic consumption.
‘Goddess, this is the second time. I’ll roll the dice.’
“I’m suppressed now.”
‘Oh, my God.’
The sound of the end of this round was heard.
I opened a mind map and checked the time.
[Remaining time: 1,205 days 1 hour 27 minutes]
I’m glad I didn’t spend a lot of time.
And then I realized a strange word, a word that was too inconsistent to use for Blanchett.
‘But wait a minute? Pressure?’
“Right. I haven’t killed him yet.”
Can’t you?
* * *
The amount of time the girl listened to until she regained consciousness was subjectively like aeons.
As I had learned from my uncle, it should have been a space with nothing but darkness.
It’s a strangely cozy and strange space where you don’t want to go out.
A place where there is a single door and the remaining time is forced up and cannot be erased.
If you open it and enter, you will be on the first floor again.
Meeting an exile once again in another world is nothing more than an urban legend floating in the labyrinth.
They say they’ve never seen such a case.
So now it’s farewell forever.
If it was a race with tails or ears, it would have drooped.
I opened my eyes with that feeling.
Blanchett was sitting and watching her.
“uh?”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Am I alive?”
The expressionless face sighs as it is.
“It’s strange. As if there were rumors about me. I thought I killed everyone I saw.”
“No, I mean, wouldn’t I be this surprised?”
The girl just decided not to think about it anymore.
If I was going to kill you anyway, I would have killed it in the first place.
I don’t know for sure, but seeing that I saved it, I think it’s okay to say anything.
“Yeah, poor little sister. I don’t know what else the music box is going to make, but it would be nice if I could save you.”
Rather, the girl thought that the other person had said nothing she was about to say.
What is this person saying now?
“I think it would be great if someone could explain to me what the situation is now.”
The proclamation of the goddess seemed to be the most confusing I had ever heard.
The god of chaos has fallen into chaos.
* * *
「Is that so?」
The body moves mechanically and breaks through the snake’s stomach.
Even though it’s a dungeon, it’s just a disguise. not that long
What I’m aiming for is the tail direction.
Rather, the situation right now is very confusing.
‘What do you mean?’
I didn’t think the previous episode of Blanchet would have told me the whole story.
I just thought that there was a deep connection because the degree of reaction to the name of the music box was too strong.
Presumably, maybe he was the one who fostered Blanchet?
As a manager, they were constantly interfering and caring for each other.
I don’t know any more.
It’s just that I used to mention it often. That’s how I got to know the conversation.
I have only grasped enough information to act.
The external world view of this game itself has a sense of being standardized to some extent, so there is not much of a feeling of being completely original.
A space spy. I just accepted the cliché with that feeling.
So when I first went to see Blanchet, I thought I was taking a lot of risk.
I really don’t know if my guesses are correct.
But what is happening now?
The goddess constantly tells what Blanchet is saying to the girl.
The content is even touching.
Instead, hate is directed at me.
damn it I’ve never heard of this.
The Blanchet guy from the previous episode! how well i did Should’ve been more revealing!
this naughty guy!
* * *
Instruction comes through prophecy.
The girl did as her uncle instructed.
So, I decided to pretend to be a poor girl who was really caught in the magic of ‘Orgel’.
In fact, there was a side that connected with her in real life.
A girl who has been raised as a weapon since childhood.
Although the times are different and the details are different, the story is exactly the same as the misery she felt in her original world.
Blanchett, unbelievably as rumored, held her hand tightly.
And he said that he wanted to quickly kill the guy named Music Box and let him find his freedom.
I don’t know how it’s going, but I was just nodding and arguing.
However, at the point where he was going to kill the uncle, he stopped in awe.
“Oh, no. That’s not okay! That, that’s it.”
“Call me your sister.”
“Yeah, sister. Anyway, that’s not okay.”
Blanchet sighed lightly.
“You too are bound by the bond of blood and flesh.”
“yes?”
“When I saw the music box’s face, I was surprised. I wonder if it had changed again. Their attitude was too similar to be a lie, and what they knew was the same. So you have to believe it.”
“Yes Yes……?”
Blanchett spoke quickly.
Her last mission in the outside world was for the liberation of her sisters and the music box was put forward.
That little sister, and Blanchet herself.
They are the children of the music box, who was the most powerful human being, with his own genes.
He called the music box and called him a damn father.
The girl hiccuped.
“Remember. I’m always on your side.”
With those words, Blanchet let go of the girl’s hand.
It was an attitude that he would wait a little longer because he couldn’t kill the one who believed and followed him right in front of his eyes.
Instead, the truth was told.
The girl could not keep up with the situation. I just nodded my head.
The situation is also passed on to the uncle through the goddess.
* * *
“I was mistaken, groan cha! I had no intention of filming it! I didn’t have any!”
An echo close to a scream crashes into the snake’s stomach and disappears.
Things got incredibly messed up.
The situation was exquisite.
The facts that I only knew in a fragmentary way, and his own setting that Blanchett in the previous episode did not tell us about.
No, did one named have such a detailed setting?
The delusion wall of a story writer is a replacement.
no that’s not it
It may have become a reality and it may have been framed by itself.
The misunderstanding that started with the music box spreads far and wide.
For now, the results alone aren’t too bad.
There’s no way that guy can’t go to the kingdom.
Instead, I will continue to suffer from Blanchett’s hatred and threats in the future.
But thanks to that, the girl won the infinite favor of her terrifying older sister.
Maybe everyone was happy except for me.
“Hey, Shinto.”
‘Why are you doing that?’
“In all my labyrinth life, this is the first time in my life that I have more fun than this. You are really great.”
‘Aren’t you enjoying yourself too much because it’s someone else’s work? Other than that, from whom did you learn the fun?’
“The person who taught me this changed to the god of discipline and money. It is no longer mine.”
‘Let’s not touch each other’s sore spots.’
“Whoa.”
Actually, the biggest problem right now is to find out that this is all an illusion.
Let’s keep the status quo somehow.
To have the ability to subdue Blanchett, or to create a situation where you can take advantage of other situations to get rid of them.
And finally.
How to use this situation well to see the angle of recruiting altogether.
The last one is the least feasible and at the same time attractive.
First, let’s check what the cards on this floor are.
Reached the end of the stomach.
Phase 2 begins, and Quetzalcoatl is released from the seal and flies up, so the road is flat.
I see a card floating in the air with a twinkle.
If you look at this part again, this world is a game.
This unnatural part always reminds me that this world is a game.
When you put your hand on the card, the light disappears.
And the shape that emerges.
Two arms and two legs.
An extremely average humanoid race consisting of one head and flesh and blood.
no just human.
“This…….”
Let’s forget about Blanchett’s work.
I think about how to use it as much as possible.
‘Human’ card. It’s a pity right now, but if you look a little further, it’s not bad at all.
Only humans can clear the labyrinth.
No matter how raw meat creeping races proceed, they must be human at the last moment.
It is always human to defeat monsters.
But I think it could be written differently now.
[Racial Mainstream], [The Human Saint Betrayed].
The reason she became an Orc was also because of the Labyrinth card.
If only I could turn back into a human again.
Human [Hero Unit] Great Saint Meryl may return to the human camp again!
This is a means to change the situation of even-numbered floors in many ways.
However, this is something you need to consult with Twitton.
What I’ve already done takes a while.
On the 2nd floor, I had to coolly side with the orcs and push the fairies away.
I guess I’m wrong.
