Chapter 89: The dildo I was
pampering smelled like another woman’s scent (4)

I
was half dead and half alive on my last trip to the Labyrinth.

Gluttony
in front of me was clearly not meant to be on the fifth floor, and it
was incredibly strong.

‘Still,
it’s worth it.’

This
time, there were no Temple Investigators and no party members to
protect.

Without
the distractions, I could rampage more freely against the creature.

‘Blessing
of Radiance is the best thing since sliced bread.’

With
the Blessing of Radiance on my axe, I’d be able to put up a good
fight if I was prepared to fight to the death.

I
immediately wrapped the blessing around my axe and swung it.

Kiiii-i

With
a cold crackling sound, the Blessing of Radiance wrapped around the
axe and immediately disappeared.

‘What?’

A
misfire? It’s never happened before.

The
gluttonous creature was almost upon me, and I immediately tested my
newfound blessing.

[Blessing
of the Time of Judgment]

The
world, which had gradually slowed down under my intense
concentration, immediately returned to its original speed.

‘Holy
shit.’

Wham!

***

‘I’m
back already?’

I
woke up to find myself on Idelbert’s firm thighs again.

‘I
died and came out of the dream world.’

It
was a stupid battle. I’d barely managed to catch it with my blessing.

Fighting
Gluttony without the Blessing of Radiance was as foolish as standing
in front of a final boss as a commoner.

“How
was the battle with Gluttony?”

“It
sucked.”

“Are
you talking back to your heavenly master?”

‘Hmph.’

I
asked her, sweating profusely inside my helmet.

“Master.
I have a question.”

“Come
on, ask me anything, apprentice.”

“Is
it true that within that dreamlike world, I cannot use my blessings
properly?”

“Yes.
It is a kind of dream world.”

Idelbert
said, pulling out a hypnosis coin.

“It’s
an artifact that forcibly draws out the unconsciousness of the
opponent. It’s also an artifact that contains Professor Arpo’s unique
illusionary magic.”

“Uh-huh.”

“The
artifact can be used to create plausible illusions by combining the
remnants of your opponent’s memories, which can be used for training
or various other experiences.”

I
listened to Idelbert’s explanation, dumbfounded.

‘Doesn’t
that mean you’re effectively creating a small virtual reality world?’

“It’s
not all-purpose, though. Even if I can tap into the unconscious, I
can only use it if I have a strong impression of the opponent or the
moment. That’s why I asked you to name the strongest person you’ve
ever fought.”

So
the weaker the impression of the person or place, the more likely it
is that the hypnosis will fail.

‘But
it’s still awesome.’

The
combination of an artifact and a professor-level wizard made for an
incredible item.

Even
if I can’t use my blessings, I can still gain a lot of experience
with that tool.

I
could tell because I’ve been through a revenge match against a
monstrosity in the Illusionary World myself.

‘If
I use it to replay battles, I can gain combat experience at an
incomparably faster rate.’

My
mouth watered.

“How
much does that thing cost?”

“Disciple,
it’s a 24th floor artifact with the unique magic of a Royal Academy
professor-level mage. There are only two of them left in the
Labyrinth City. You’ll never get it.”

When
I showed signs of coveting the artifact, Idelbert flicked the coin
with her thumb.

She
caught the coin as it spun in the air, caught the thread, and shook
it again before my eyes.

“You
should be grateful to have found a master who is so generous with
such a precious object for the betterment of his pupil.”

As
I stared at the coin waving in front of my eyes, my vision
immediately blurred.

“You’ll
have to struggle a few more times.”

***

Day
1.

I
realize that I can’t use the blessing, but the stat bonuses from the
blessing still apply.

Now
that I’ve realized that even if I fall, I’ll wake up to reality,
there’s no need to protect myself.

I
leapt into the oncoming creature’s mouth with my jaws wide open, axe
raised, and shouted.

‘Giant.’

-Tsk!

The
impact from inside the mouth was more effective than hitting it from
outside, but without the blessing of radiance, the effect was mild.

-Kwaddup!

I
was eaten.

***

“Hmph.”

Idelbert
coughed in disbelief.

“Go
again.”

-Zhiying

I
immediately lost consciousness.

For
some reason, my jaw felt stiff, but it must have been my imagination.

***

Day
4.

I
stopped thinking about a short game.

I
realized that I had to bite the bullet and make it a long game to
have any chance of winning.

-Boom!

I
narrowly dodge the charge and bring my axe down in close.

The
wound was barely noticeable, just a faint scratch.

It
was disheartening to see my full-powered axe strike fail to do any
real damage, but I put a positive spin on the situation.

‘If
it doesn’t scratch, I’ll just keep hitting it until it does.’

-Bam!
Bam!

I
swung my axe like a maniac, focusing on dodging the creature’s tail
attack, which was a free pass to the Jordan River if I got hit once.

I
clung to the gluttonous creature’s flank like a leech, steadfastly
hitting only one spot.

-Zzzzzzzzzz!

The
axe sank in like never before.

Not
a slashing sound, but a tearing and splitting sound.

I
don’t know how many times I’ve swung the axe so far, but it must have
been more than twenty.

The
result: an axe mark barely the size of my fist.

‘Fuck.
How the fuck did I beat this asshole?’

I
laughed, a hollow laugh, but I could see the light.

Even
without the Blessing of Radiance, I could still wound him.

Boom!

***

Day
11.

-Whoosh!

I
twist my body slightly to the left, dodging the tail attack that
comes with a gust of wind.

I
jump on the recovering tail and cling to it tightly.

[Kie-e-e-e!]

A
resounding roar was heard as the creature lunged at me with its
muzzle open, then paused.

It
hesitated.

If
it tries to eat me now, it will eat its tail as well.

-Bung-bung-bung!

His
tail wagged this way and that to shake me off.

I
centered myself and used the recoil to leap onto its body.

-Bam!
Bam!

And
like a rock climber, I slammed my twin axes into its body and climbed
to the top of its head.

[KEEEEK!]

I
clung to the head of the screaming, struggling Gluttony. If I fell
now, I would be crushed.

-Kwaddup!

I
prescribed an axe to calm him down.

As
with most patients, he didn’t listen, so I repeatedly hit him with
the axe until he calmed down.

-Zzzzzzzz!

The
sensation of the axe going deep. Okay, that’s it.

I
inserted the axe into the skull of the leering creature.

-Kwaaang!

The
rapidly bulking axe slammed into the creature’s head, which had been
raised high in the air.

“Didn’t
I get him!!!?”

I
even blocked the magical resurrection spell, just in case. It should
be really dead now.

[Keh-ek-!]

He’s
not really dead.

It
wriggled doggedly, even though I’d nearly cut its head in half.

‘The
firepower is slightly lacking.’

I
wounded it, but not enough to kill it outright, even with my current
strongest attack, Giant Axe.

‘That
was the most perfect battle I’ve ever had.’

I’m
not even slightly wounded, and the abomination is crawling on the
ground, begging, with a giant axe lodged in its skull.

‘Still,
I came close to killing it without the aid of the Blessing of
Radiance.’

I
nodded in satisfaction, and then my head burned with heat.

The
visions of Gluttony and Labyrinth faded in a flurry, and I opened my
eyes again on Idelbert’s thigh.

“⋯?”

My
body felt strangely warm and my cock was twitching strangely.

I
felt an immediate erection and quickly raised my upper body to hide
it.

Idelbert
stared at me, then opened her mouth.

“You’ve
overdone it. Your brain and body have been overwhelmed by too much
use in one day. You’ll have to moderate your use for the time being.”

“⋯That’s
too bad. A little more and I could have killed it.”

“It’s
ridiculous that you pushed yourself that far in the first place. Even
if it was weakened by the seal, it’s not something a novice
explorer can defeat. You should be proud of yourself.”

Idelbert
patted my helm with a rare smirk.

It
had certainly paid off.

‘Now
I won’t freak out at the sight of any large beast.’

After
all, a man grows the most in life-and-death battles.

The
feeling of gaining overwhelming combat experience was amazing.

There’s
a distinct difference between the present me and the person I was a
few hours ago.

I
wonder how many low-level explorers in the world can experience
something like this. Maybe I’m the only one.

Just
as I was getting lost in my thoughts, Idelbert spoke up with a
nonchalant face.

“Now
that you’ve exhausted your mind, let’s try something that doesn’t
require you to use your brain.”

“⋯Yes?”

What
are you talking about, Master?

“Don’t
be silly. You just took a stamina-restoring potion.”

With
that, Idelbert took out an object she was hiding behind her back.

Gravity
Control Artifacts and even three of them.

One
is already on his arm, for reference, so four in total.

Even
at the lowest power, that’s eight times the force of gravity.

Idelbert
pointed to the running track.

“I
don’t want you to run, so try a slow walk.”

“Haha⋯”

The
disciple was overwhelmed by his master’s grace and tears welled up in
his eyes.

***

“Ugh⋯”

Idelbert
looked at Balkan, who was walking like a corpse across the running
track.

‘That’s
some mental strength.’

Sweat
is pouring down his face, his legs are shaking and he looks like he’s
going to collapse, but he never does.

The
endurance to endure physical pain is incredible, but there is
something else that amazes Idelbert even more.

–
Ah! I can actually win this fight!

Idelbert
thought back to Balkan, who had been killed by the demon of gluttony
in the illusionary world and was begging to be reborn.

‘He’s
not afraid of death.’

No
matter how much we recognize that it’s an illusion, death stirs our
instinctive fear.

There
would be blood, flesh torn, bones broken, screams.

The
primal terror of death, which even the most brilliant of beings must
feel, he bravely overcame.

Idelbert
looked at Balkan, who casually demanded the next battle, and realized
that he was already mentally broken in some way.

“I
like him more and more.”

Common
sense people don’t climb to great heights.

You
had to be crazy and insane to reach the heights of the mighty.

Balkan
had already fulfilled that condition.

All
that remains is to create a place for the madness to go.

“Heh!”

Idelbert
handed the healing potion to Balkan, who collapsed to the ground,
after he completed twenty laps of the track.

“You
worked hard. Balkan.”

“Ahhhhh,
thank you⋯”

Balkan
quickly snatched the bottle of healing potion and raised it to his
lips. The crack in the lower part of his helm made it possible.

Idelbert,
staring at his throat, which gurgled with each gulp of liquid, spoke
with a nonchalant expression.

“Balkan.”

His
eyes, still sipping the potion, turned to Idelbert.

“Would
you like to go to the 25th floor of the Labyrinth, by any chance?”

-Poohhhhhhhh!!!

Startled
by the sudden suggestion, Balkan gulped down the potion in his throat
and spewed it right into Idelbert’s face.

“Keehek,
kolok! Kehek!”

He
coughed for a long time, unable to calm down.

“⋯a⋯”

He
looked up at Idelbert, pale and drenched in his own saliva.

Idelbert’s
eyes were tightly shut.

The
liquid he’d splashed dripped down her sleek, sharp jawline.

The
droplets trickled down her leotard and into her ample cleavage.

“⋯⋯”

“⋯⋯”

After
a minute of terrifying, creepy silence, that seemed like an hour,
Idelbert spoke.

“⋯How
dare you splatter saliva on your heavenly master?”

Balkan
felt a shiver run down his spine at Idelbert’s words.

That
exhilarating sensation he’d felt when he’d been gaze-raped.

“Ah,
no. That, Master. This is such a mistake-”

Idelbert’s
tightly closed eyes slowly opened and wet with moisture, they glared
at Balkan.

“I
guess you could say this is a request to commit a crime.”

Idelbert
ran her hand over the liquid running down her jawline and smeared it
on her lips.

The
red lips were moistened with the liquid.
