episode_0192

Jeong Yu-shin racked his brain, standing before the woman.

A few days ago, he extracted the Yin energy in the early morning and left it alone. It was because he needed to learn how to handle Yin energy from the Incubus child, Eru.

There wasn’t much Yin energy left in his body now.

Still, he couldn’t help but worry.

He couldn’t just inflict Yin energy on a normal woman.

‘Could it be Pig Master?’

Suddenly, Brinn’s words flashed through his mind.

‘No. It’s not me!’

Jeong Yu-shin hurriedly shook his head, clearing his mind of unnecessary thoughts.

Jeong Yu-shin looked at the Snow White woman, intending to stall for time.

“But who are you?”

“Just an insignificant prosecutor.”

The woman replied in a calm voice.

‘That’s a lie.’

He hadn’t eaten that many meals in the labyrinth, but he could tell at a glance that she was a distinguished prosecutor.

Maybe somewhere under the Swordsmanship Vice-President?

I don’t know.

Still, he knew she was a tough opponent.

“Gwen, Upper-Mid Level Explorer.”

‘Damn it.’

I knew it.

Jeong Yu-shin closed his mouth. His mouth tasted bitter. Upper-Mid level was right below High level explorer.

It was hard to understand her intention to face someone insignificant like himself.

“You look gloomy. I’m not trying to scold you. I just thought it wouldn’t be bad to see the swordsmanship of Ashur’s disciple who came all the way here.”

“Is that so?”

“There’s no other intention. I’m asking you a favor.”

It was difficult to refuse when an Upper-Mid level explorer politely requested a spar.

Jeong Yu-shin hesitated for a moment and approached Gwen.

“I have an unspeakable negative Imprint. It could have a bad effect on your body, so how about postponing the sparring for later?”

Gwen’s eyebrows twitched. But only for a moment, then Gwen wore a gentle smile.

“There’s no need to worry. My Imprint, the Winter Heart Imprint, has the effect of blocking all poisons, magic, curses, or hexes that I don’t want. So whatever Imprint you have is fine. Rather, I’m the one who’s worried. Because the effect of the Imprint causes cold air to come out of my sword.”

Jeong Yu-shin’s lips twisted slightly.

“I see.”

‘Everyone except me has cheat-level Imprints. This dirty world.’

Gwen smiled gently.

“If you feel unwell during the sparring, please tell me. I’ll stop immediately.”

Jeong Yu-shin quietly stared into Gwen’s eyes.

She looked only a year or two older than him, but her way of speaking was formal, making her look mature.

“…I understand.”

Jeong Yu-shin replied, stepped back, and raised his sword.

Vom Tag. In other words, High Guard.

Jeong Yu-shin’s eyes blazed brightly as he raised his sword high.

The muscular arm of his rolled-up shirt rippled, and the thigh muscles firmly planted on the floor bulged as if about to burst.

The people in the training ground swallowed hard.

It was like a bolt out of the blue.

The mid-tier clan meeting had ended a little while ago.

It was a shame to part ways. Because the times they entered the labyrinth were different, it wasn’t easy to gather in one place and see each other’s faces.

But it was ambiguous to meet outside the headquarters.

There was no pub that could accommodate hundreds of people in the middle of the night. Of course, it would be possible with a reservation in advance, but they didn’t want a grand gathering.

So, they gathered in the training ground to chat for a while and build friendships, but then a black-haired Barbaroi guy was sparring.

Moreover, the opponent was Gwen, called the Ice Princess.

A woman who dedicated her body solely to the sword.

She was already a complete swordsman who had experienced all sorts of hardships outside the labyrinth city.

Her hometown was in the North. There were rumors that she was the daughter of a famous swordsman, but no one knew the details.

Currently, she belonged to a mid-tier clan called Snow Flower, and because her personality was upright and calm, many people in the clan liked her.

Shhh.

Gwen drew her sword. It was a longsword, but it was different from Jeong Yu-shin’s sword. The blade was thin and sharp.

Jeong Yu-shin’s eyes changed.

Because the white blade was emitting a chilling aura.

‘Is it a magic sword?’

It shouldn’t matter.

Gwen, noticing Jeong Yu-shin’s gaze, smiled wryly.

“Are you uncomfortable? I can use a different sword.”

“Not at all.”

Jeong Yu-shin gripped his sword firmly. It was a sword made by Einhoefer. He didn’t think it would be inferior.

Jeong Yu-shin made the first move.

He kicked off the ground and charged forward.

The powerful sword coming down from above fell on Gwen’s head.

Kigigigiging!!!

Gwen deflected the attack smoothly, tilting her sword, and swung it. Gwen’s diagonal cut aimed for Jeong Yu-shin’s neck.

Jeong Yu-shin raised his sword from below and slashed.

Kaaaaaang!!!

The sharp sound of swords colliding echoed through the training ground.

Jeong Yu-shin’s eyebrows twitched.

‘It’s not easy.’

She must have leveled up quite a bit, as she wasn’t being pushed back at all in terms of strength.

But it’s okay. The swords were already entangled. All that was left was to unleash his techniques.

Jeong Yu-shin’s eyebrows furrowed as he struggled with the sword.

‘It’s hard to feel the sword?!’

Gwen’s sword was consistent. It didn’t push back or yield.

It felt like facing a huge wall.

To unleash his techniques, he needed to feel the opponent’s sword. If he rashly used a technique in a hurry, he would be immediately countered.

Jeong Yu-shin looked at Gwen’s face.

Gwen’s eyes sparkled like stars, but they were calmly subdued.

‘It’s hard to read her emotions.’

Moreover, an unknowingly thick chill was rising up the sword.

His arms and body were gradually becoming stiff from the cold.

‘This is poison.’

Jeong Yu-shin raised his sword and thrust it forward.

The target was Gwen’s neck.

Swaeeeeek!!!

Gwen smiled faintly and thrust her sword forward.

Gwen’s sword diagonally pushed away Jeong Yu-shin’s sword, climbing up and aiming for Jeong Yu-shin’s Adam’s apple.

‘Shit…!’

It sent shivers down his spine.

He stepped and changed his stance, deflecting Gwen’s sword.

Kagagagak!!!!

But Gwen immediately followed up and stabbed with her sword.

Poke.

Gwen’s sword poked his chest.

Jeong Yu-shin froze stiffly.

“Good. Will you continue?”

Jeong Yu-shin’s eyes blazed at Gwen’s question.

“I’ll continue.”

Jeong Yu-shin gritted his teeth and swung his sword.

Falling back because of the strange cold was a miscalculation.

He realized that Gwen was a better swordsman than himself.

But.

What did that matter?

‘I must stick to her.’

Whether it turned out good or bad, he had to keep the close-quarters combat and continue the mind games.

Jeong Yu-shin charged again.

Gwen also swung her sword.

Kaaaaaang!!!

Kagagagak!!!

Swords clashed in the air, and the mind game between Jeong Yu-shin and Gwen began.

Jeong Yu-shin didn’t even realize the sweat flowing down his forehead and concentrated.

To beat Gwen, he had to feel Gwen’s sword. To be exact, he had to know the distribution of power.

He abandoned the desire to not lose.

He had to use various techniques to find out what kind of swordsman Gwen was.

Jeong Yu-shin gritted his teeth and unleashed all sorts of techniques.

‘Who are you? Gwen.’

You know a person through their sword.

It was a phantom-like saying that only came out of martial arts novels, but it felt real to Jeong Yu-shin, who was wielding his sword right now.

While wielding his sword and unleashing all sorts of techniques.

Jeong Yu-shin felt a strange satisfaction.

When was the last time he fought this well?

Gwen also smiled.

This man’s sword.

‘Good.’

There was an art in his sword that could only come from crossing multiple battle lines.

She wanted to match swords with this Barbaroi a little more and ‘feel’ his sword.

At that very moment.

She felt a strange throbbing in her lower abdomen. Like a fluttering?

The hand holding the sword lost strength due to the strange sensation she was feeling for the first time.

‘Huh?’

Jeong Yu-shin, noticing the strangeness, looked at Gwen’s face.

Gwen’s elegant complexion was flushed.

They were in the middle of a mind game, matching swords, so it was impossible to open her mouth carelessly.

But Gwen’s lips opened.

“Heeut.”

?

A cute tone for an elegant woman to utter.

Jeong Yu-shin’s mouth slightly opened.

Gwen blushed as if she was also embarrassed.

Strange.

Being sword-to-sword with this man made her head feel fluffy.

Was that all?

As this man’s sweat smell permeated her nose from a close distance, the strength drained from her legs.

Gwen quietly stepped back.

“Let’s stop here.”

“Ye…yes, let’s.”

Jeong Yu-shin also answered, sheathing his sword.

“…”

A moment of silence passed between the two men and women.

“It was a good sword. Well, then, I’ll be going.”

Gwen sheathed her sword and stiffly left the training ground.

The people who had been watching without breathing finally began to buzz.

“What’s going on…?”

“Gwen’s sword suddenly faltered?”

“Is she not feeling well?”

Questions continued, but no one was close to the correct answer.

“But he fights really well. Is that Barbaroi really a Lower-Mid level explorer?”

“I know, right. What a scary newcomer.”

“How about putting him in our clan?”

“That’s a bit…”

The clan members exchanged their opinions.

Jeong Yu-shin sheathed his sword and took a breath. The concern about victory or defeat had disappeared. It was a satisfying spar after a long time.

The only thing he was worried about was Gwen’s condition.

But as Gwen explained, she had a Winter Heart, so he was sure she wouldn’t be affected by Yin energy.

Something must have come up, or she urgently needed to go to the bathroom.

Mick approached Jeong Yu-shin and gave him a thumbs up.

“So, did you see any useful explorers?”

Jeong Yu-shin shook his head at Mick’s question.

‘There are many talented people. But I don’t know if they’ll join our party.’

“If we promoted it this much, shouldn’t they at least pretend to not know and come?”

‘I guess so. Let’s wait a bit for now.’

Jeong Yu-shin shook his head.

What else should he wait for here?

Jeong Yu-shin looked around.

“Everyone!!!”

A huge shout echoed through the training ground, and people closed their mouths and looked at Jeong Yu-shin.

“Looking for party members!!!”

“…”

“One Guide!!! Two Rear Guards!!! We ask for a lot of support!!!”

Someone asked.

“Barbaroi, what’s the party name?”

Party name?

Jeong Yu-shin hesitated for a moment. It wasn’t easy to rack his brain in front of so many people suddenly.

‘Could it be Pig Master?’

In the midst of the chaotic situation.

Brinn’s words came to mind once again.

“Pig…!!! No. There isn’t a set name!”

In the end, Jeong Yu-shin stuttered.

“…”

The training ground went coldly silent.

“Ah, fuck. Pig fuck.”

Jeong Yu-shin raised his hand to cover his eyes and muttered.

* * *

“Gwen, how was it?”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. I’m just not in good condition today. I’ll go rest first.”

Gwen casually replied to her clan members’ worried questions and quickly went home.

A lodging in the central area.

It was a stylish and clean lodging, so most High Level explorers frequented it.

Of course, most High Level explorers had a house in the central area, but the simple Gwen had never thought about having a house.

Her home was always in the North.

Gwen entered her room with quick steps.

“Hoo.”

She sighed and took off her top.

Her jade-like skin and the bulging breasts surrounded by a gray sports bra were revealed.

Gwen raised her sports bra with trembling hands.

As her stiff nipples gently scraped inside the bra, Gwen’s figure staggered.

“Heet.”

Once again, a cute voice echoed in the quiet room.

Gwen hurriedly covered her mouth, afraid someone would hear.

Fortunately, the thick functional underwear made by the Arachne Sewing Association prevented the catastrophe of showing her stiff nipples.

Gwen lowered her pants halfway with a flushed face.

She slightly pulled on her gray sports panties and looked down below.

The area in contact with her vulva was faintly wet in a straight line.

“Eut!”

Gwen bit her lip tightly.

‘This is…?’

It was definitely a liquid that came out when making love with someone you like.

She remembered it because it was something her strict mother had taught her, blushing rarely.

But.

‘What…is this?’

A sprout-like part was standing stiffly between her labia.

She didn’t know well, but she was so embarrassed.

Gwen tried to hide her embarrassment by raising both hands to cover her face, leaving only her eyes peeking out as she looked down at her clitoris.

‘Oh…what should I do?’

She had never learned about this from her mother.

There was only one fact she knew.

That was to cherish her body until she met the person she loved.

Late at night.

Gwen bit her nails, feeling restless as she looked down at her stiff clitoris.

‘Barbaroi, what kind of Imprint do you have?’
