episode_0098

Jung Yushin’s eyebrows, lying on the floor, twitched.

Brin was squatting next to him.

A strange situation.

How did she secretly come all the way here?

And.

‘Why…why me?’

It was hard to understand Brin’s actions.

They had only spent a day together, so there were many things he didn’t know about her.

But a person’s personality cannot be completely hidden. It reveals itself little by little.

She’s lazy but not stupid. I thought she was an emotional student who made sound judgments.

“I…I’ll pour this potion on you.”

“…”

Why is she helping me?

She could just run away.

Pop.

The sound of a bottle cap being opened was heard.

Jung Yushin forgot about the pain and racked his brain. He immediately arrived at one conclusion.

‘Could it be…!’

Was she moved by the party member’s spirit of sacrifice?

Even if not, it’s an opportunity I can’t miss.

“Ugh.”

A voice like air escaping from a balloon.

And the potion poured all over his body.

The sticky potion contents flowed down his head and face.

“Oh…a mis…mistake.”

A sheepish tone was heard from beyond his ear.

‘Could it be…?’

“De…detox too. Ah?!”

Plop, plop.

The contents poured out again. This time, it not only soaked his hair but also went into his nose and ears.

“…”

Jung Yushin moved his eyeballs and glared at Brin.

Brin sweated and avoided Jung Yushin’s gaze.

‘No. This is an opportunity.’

I don’t know if she’s messing with me, but with Brin’s help, I can barely move my neck and tongue.

Jung Yushin moved his neck and mouth and licked the potion and detox scattered on the floor.

Not only that, but he also chewed on the dirt soaked with potion and detox.

“Ugh…ugh, dirty.”

“Ptooey!”

He put the dirt in his mouth, rolled it around, and spat it out.

“Bring me all the potions and bandages in my backpack.”

“Here you go.”

Brin took out a large amount of potions and placed them on the floor.

‘She already brought them?’

All the potions that he had carefully saved were here.

Healing potions, stamina potions, detox, everything was there.

His movements were much better thanks to the detox.

But it’s not enough. With trembling hands, he opened the potion bottles and drank them all.

He also poured all the charcoal powder into his mouth.

“Um…excuse me.”

Brin pointed to Jung Yushin’s stomach with her finger. It had shrunk thanks to the healing potion, but there was still a hole.

The colorful potion contents were leaking out because they were mixed in his stomach.

I don’t care.

He roughly bandaged his stomach and got up from his seat.

“Brin, leave. I have to go fight.”

“I…I think it’s better to just run than talk to me.”

“…”

‘Focus.’

Rip.

He tore off the remnants of the light armor that had turned into rags and became bare-bodied.

The helmet also flew off somewhere. Because of this, the burning demonic energy due to the Revenger engraving was revealed.

Clang.

He drew his longsword, put it on his shoulder, and moved his feet.

Towards the bastard I have to kill.

The chillingly sharp blade gleamed.

* * *

Iron Mask staggered and got up from his seat.

The brave dwarven priest stood in front of the Giant Spider with only a staff in his hand.

Iron Mask’s gaze was towards Kubo, but his mind was going through old memories.

‘Evan Lionel, must you really go?’

‘Yes, Father.’

‘If you look, there might be another way? The Great Labyrinth is a dangerous place. It is like a bottomless swamp. Once you set foot in it, it is very difficult to get out. Heroes and villains alike flounder and die in that swamp.’

‘Isn’t that how all lives are? I will go.’

‘Really have to go? Don’t you know that the people love you?’

My father’s sad eyes.

How beautiful the sky was when I left the palace after giving up everything.

Bang!!!

Kubo, hit by the spider’s forefoot, flew into the sky. The broken staff fluttered in the air.

Grip!

I gripped the greatsword tightly and wished. That my dying body would move properly.

I got up and walked towards that wicked monster.

One step. Two steps.

The staggering steps soon turned into a run.

I raised the greatsword that the royal palace’s blacksmiths had put their heart and soul into making.

The funeral had already been held when I left the palace. There are no regrets. Isn’t that how human life is?

A life of wandering in a labyrinth between desire and boredom, then entering the tomb.

“Haaah!!!”

Whooong!!!

The greatsword made a tremendous tearing sound.

The Giant Spider couldn’t dare to face it and retreated.

‘I won’t miss it.’

Evan Lionel twisted the greatsword from the downward slash stance and spun it around once.

He threw his body as it was and swung the sword.

A horizontal slash with no turning back.

Slash!!!

The greatsword cut through two tree trunk-like legs at once.

Thump!!!! Thump!!!

The legs flew into the sky and fell to the floor.

“Kreeerelek!!!”

The Giant Spider screamed madly and swung its forefeet.

Evan stood still. He could no longer move because he had squeezed out all his strength to swing the sword.

‘Is this the end?’

Kwaaak!!!

The huge forefoot fell towards Evan like a guillotine.

At that moment.

Swoosh!!!

A golden spear was embedded next to the Giant Spider.

Thwack!!!

The Giant Spider’s body staggered for a moment.

The forefoot grazed Evan and struck the ground.

Crash!!!

A man walked through the flying dirt and grass.

Bare-bodied. Bandages tightly wrapped around his stomach and a longsword slung over his shoulder.

Both eyes burned with blue demonic energy.

Scar, a mixed-blood barbarian.

It’s not a good sight at all. His appearance of standing up and walking is a miracle.

“Iron Mask.”

“Scar, run away.”

“Nonsense. You rest for a bit.”

At Jung Yushin’s words, Iron Mask knelt down. He didn’t even have the strength to stand any longer.

Jung Yushin turned his body and looked at the Giant Spider.

It had been hit in the side by the Sacred Weapon and couldn’t come to its senses.

‘It’s different.’

It was different from a normal Giant Spider.

The gap with the books I read was too big.

One possibility came to mind, but I erased it.

What does it matter? I’m going to kill it.

The spear of light embedded in the Giant Spider turned into particles and scattered.

“Kreeerelek!!!”

The Giant Spider, having regained its balance, rushed at Jung Yushin.

Jung Yushin also ran to meet it.

The spider’s forefoot fell above Jung Yushin’s head.

‘Come.’

He immediately stepped to the side and dodged.

Bang!!!

The Giant Spider’s forefoot only struck the innocent ground.

A pile of dirt soared as if a bomb had exploded.

‘A gap.’

He put the longsword on his shoulder and twisted his waist to the end.

Diagonal slash.

Swoosh!!!

The sharp blade of the longsword cut the spider’s leg in half.

‘Einhofer.’

[Sacred Weapon]

A weapon forged in the heart while passing through hell.

A golden single-edged ax was created in one hand.

I grabbed it and swung it.

Whack!!!

As if cutting a radish, he struck the leg that had been cut in half and finally severed it.

Splat!!!

Green fluid burst out from the cut surface of the leg and soaked the dirt floor.

“Keeeek!!!”

The spider screamed and swung its forefeet wildly.

Thump!!!

Thump!!!

Thump!!!

He threw his body and rolled on the dirt floor. Blood leaked from the bandage tied around his stomach, but he didn’t care.

He rolled this way and jumped that way, dodging everything by a hair’s breadth.

It was a godly sight. Close to madness.

Iron Mask’s mouth dropped open.

‘What…what kind of fighting spirit is that?’

No knight of the Royal Guard could match this man’s tenacity.

Seeing him naturally crossing the line between life and death and walking a tightrope in a dying state sent shivers down his spine.

It was different from what I saw last time.

Doesn’t he look like a demon risen from hell?

In fact.

It was exactly as Iron Mask thought.

Jung Yushin was moving his body instinctively in a hazy state of mind.

He stabbed and struck whenever he saw a gap.

Posture? Mindset?

I don’t know about such luxurious things. Kill. Only that thought.

Tsuaaak!!!

He turned to the torso and swung the sword. The belly was cut lengthwise and fluid scattered into the air.

He put his hand in and ruthlessly rummaged through the flesh, tearing it out with all his strength.

Tudududuk!!!

“Kaaaak!!!”

The spider went berserk and let out a familiar scream.

Bang!!!

The forefoot struck Jung Yushin.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Jung Yushin, rolling on the dirt floor like an empty can, jumped up.

“Huff…”

Jung Yushin smiled without even wiping the blood dripping from his mouth. The blue demonic energy grew darker.

The spider turned its body and presented its rear end.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

Several clumps of spiderweb flew.

“Whoops.”

Jung Yushin staggered and twisted his body, dodging each one.

And ran at full speed.

The spider moved forward as if trying to avoid it, but the speed of advancing was slow because several legs had already been cut off.

‘If we go into a war of attrition like this, escape is impossible.’

The party members’ conditions were not good.

One thought flashed through Jung Yushin’s mind.

‘Can I do it?’

I don’t know. I don’t think about failure. I will definitely do it.

While running, he put the longsword’s handle in his mouth.

[Sacred Weapon]

What I want is a pole.

‘About here.’

He grabbed the long pole and stuck it into the ground.

Thwack!!!

He flew into the sky riding the pole.

The so-called pole vault.

Iron Mask, Kubo, Mars, and Brin all opened their eyes wide and looked up at Jung Yushin.

Jung Yushin, flying through the sky, gave the party members a thumbs-up once.

And.

He grabbed the sword that he had already spat out with both hands and pointed it downwards.

Downward strike.

The spider also moved its body urgently, perhaps seeing him. But it was too late. It can’t escape.

Crash!!!

Jung Yushin’s body landed on the spider’s upper body.

At the same time, the longsword was also embedded in the spider’s body all the way to the end of the handle.

“Kueeok!!!”

The spider screamed and staggered its body.

‘As expected.’

[Sacred Weapon]

I need to smash its head a bit.

What I want is a warhammer.

He grabbed a huge hammer in both hands and lifted it high into the sky.

From top to bottom.

‘This is the end.’

Bang!!!

The brilliant golden warhammer shattered half of the Giant Spider’s eyes and head and became embedded.

“Kueue…!!!”

The spider staggered.

I don’t stop.

One more time.

Crash!!!

The warhammer crushed the Giant Spider’s head and burst all its eyes.

The Giant Spider couldn’t stand it any longer and collapsed.

Crash!!!

The ground shook greatly because of how well it had been fed.

He drew his sword and came down from the spider’s body.

Jung Yushin brought his mouth to the Giant Spider’s head.

“Are you human?”

The Giant Spider trembled slightly.

There’s one reason I’m sure.

When I was bitten by the venomous fangs, it was temporary, but the magic power did not budge as if it was tied to a chain.

Normal Giant Spiders do not have venom that blocks magic power.

Then there is only one option left.

The engraving ability.

He raised his sword.

“Actually, it doesn’t matter what you are.”

Slash.

The crushed spider’s head was cut off and rolled on the floor.

Subjugation complete.

“Ptooey!!!”

He spat out the blood that was coming up and used his sword as a cane to stand up.

What should I do first?

Should I heal Kubo’s body first? I have pesticide from Edel. A medicine used to kill pests that enter the body.

Or Iron Mask, who is collapsed and spitting blood.

Or Mars, who is tied to a spiderweb and about to have his flesh eaten by baby spiders.

“Br…Brin.”

Barely standing up his collapsing body, he called the female student’s name. Where did she go again?

At that moment.

Someone approached. Jung Yushin’s eyes widened. It’s not Brin.

A muscular deer beastman, more than 2m tall, was looking down at him.

He had armor disguised with grass and a longbow and short spear as tall as a person.

“I’m late.”

“It seems like you’re several steps late. Who are you?”

“Look at the way you talk. Ashur sent me. Sleep.”

“Ptooey!!!”

Jung Yushin spat out the blood that was coming up again and glared at the stag beastman.

Why would Ashur send this stag beastman?

“It’s not time to sleep yet.”

“Is madness surging in your head?”

“Am I supposed to believe it if you say that Ashur sent you? These bastards suddenly appear and cause a fuss…”

Thud.

The deer beastman silently threw something on the floor.

Jung Yushin’s eyes widened.

Sandbag.

He picked up the sandbag with trembling hands.

It’s heavy. His name was engraved on it.

How could I forget that I wore this and worked my ass off at the swordsmanship association before entering the labyrinth?

Ashur’s face, giving it to me with a devilish smile, sometimes appeared in my dreams.

Jung Yushin, leaning on his sword, dripped blood from his mouth and deeply bowed his head.

“Please…please save our party members.”

The deer beastman crossed his arms and nodded.

“Okay. You’re lucky. To have survived that Giant Spider.”

“Shit…shit. I don’t think so. I’m sorry. Thank you.”

Jung Yushin spat out one word and bowed his head as it was.

“…”

The deer beastman stared blankly at Jung Yushin, who had fainted while leaning on his sword, then turned his head and turned his gaze to Brin.

“Girl, is this barbarian originally this bad-tempered?”

“He’s…he’s a kind person. Don’t…don’t swear at him. Asshole.”

Brin came forward to defend Jung Yushin.

“Sigh.”

The deer beastman sighed deeply and muttered while touching his horns.

“That Giant Spider bastard is dead too. Just live like a dead rat in the city. Why come back to the labyrinth and bother people? Tsk.”

Dark forest clearing.

The deer beastman and the girl began to move busily.
