episode_0278

Despite Jung Yushin’s words.

People’s expressions did not change. Faces hardened like stone. Some began to slowly back away.

Luther gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

I don’t know why, but.

He didn’t want to show weakness in front of the succubus Jevela.

“I, I heard what Barbaroi are in this city. I, I guess it’s possible. I understand.”

Jung Yushin barely managed to return his distorted face to normal.

‘Shit.’

I can’t control my expression.

Resentment welled up in his throat.

But.

Jung Yushin mustered all his strength to maintain a poker face and burst into hearty laughter.

“Hahahahaha!!! No!!! Do you think I would have mated with an ogre?! Luther, your delusion is too much!!!”

“…”

“Then how could you get out of ‘that room’?”

“When I went in, those two ogres were mating! So, I killed them and came out! Without them even knowing I came in! Stupid bastards!”

“…”

The people still looked doubtful.

Seti shrugged.

“Well, let’s say that’s how it is. Everyone’s safe. Lucky you.”

Seti’s party, as well as Xian’s party, were unharmed.

However.

There was one thing that bothered him.

Ulga, a member of the same party, had a dark expression.

I understand. Because he slept with a gaunt 40-something-year-old man.

Seti turned her head and looked at Jung Yushin.

“By the way, which floor are you guys going to?”

“The party leader is Xian!”

Jung Yushin immediately pointed to Xian.

Xian stood up from his seat.

“We’re going to the 20th floor.”

“Really? What a coincidence. We’re going to the 20th floor too.”

“That’s strange!”

“Suddenly?”

“Monster parties don’t enter the labyrinth in the morning?!”

“Ah, we came in with a ‘special’ request.”

“What request?!”

“I can’t tell you. It’s a personal request from a higher-up.”

Seti lowered her gaze.

Sebastian, with his arm around her, was gaping and looking above Barbaroi’s head.

“Wizard, are you okay?”

“H…huh! I, I’m okay!”

Sebastian felt like he was about to faint.

Others may not know, but he knows.

The number above Barbaroi’s head had changed.

Xian’s number too.

When he first saw Xian, he suspected it.

Could it be that Barbaroi and Xian had sex?

Since he and Seti came out quite late, he didn’t know why Xian’s number had changed.

Luther and Gibson, who had already left the room, kept their mouths shut.

The other monster women were the same.

But.

Now he can be sure. Those two didn’t mate. Because Barbaroi was the last one to come out.

Then who did Xian sleep with?

Judging by Barbaroi, about three people could enter the same room.

Currently, there are four men, including himself.

Excluding Barbaroi.

‘It’s not me either.’

Then there are two left.

Gibson or Luther.

One of them is lying.

Sebastian’s eyes flashed.

As expected.

‘Is it Luther?’

There’s no way that stubborn priest would have mated with a monster.

“What are you thinking so hard about?”

Seti whispered quietly in his ear. She still had her arm around him, as if she had no intention of letting him go.

“It’s nothing.”

Sebastian replied coldly.

Seti twisted her lips.

“You’re being cold. After you lost your virginity to me.”

“…”

Sebastian was silent. He has nothing to say. In the sudden situation, before he could even feel any affection, he took off his pants and put his genitals together.

He shook his waist frantically because of Seti’s threat, but looking back now, it wasn’t the worst.

Because Seti was a cool beauty with short hair.

He was worried about her shaking huge thing, but.

Seti’s inside was soft, warm, and slippery.

Still.

‘I wish my first time was with Xian.’

It was still difficult to erase his feelings for Xian.

“Tsk.”

Seti smacked her lips. She seemed to know where the cute wizard’s gaze was directed.

“Wizard, I think that paladin slept with Barbaroi.”

“What!”

Sebastian’s breathing became rough at Seti’s whisper.

“Th, that’s absurd!”

“It’s strange. No matter how much Barbaroi is a mixed-blood and just one person, there’s no way that much semen could come out of an ogre’s hole, right? You can’t ejaculate that much even if you do it all day long.”

“Th, then how could he come out later?”

“He must have come out with a time difference. Or he went into the ogres’ room with the power of Eros. It’s another dimension, isn’t it? Anything can happen.”

“…”

After thinking for a while, Sebastian shook his head.

Seti’s explanation was just confusing.

He grew up under the teaching that the simplest explanation is always the best.

“Seti, what do you really want to say?”

Seti licked her lips with her tongue.

‘Wizards have to be like this.’

Cold, intelligent, and aloof.

That way.

It’s fun to conquer them later.

Imagining the shy wizard panicking while holding his huge thing made his lower body tingle again.

Hiding her excitement, Seti whispered in Sebastian’s ear once more.

“Wizard, there’s a saying in the Labyrinth City.”

Sebastian wore a tired expression. He asked what she wanted to say, but suddenly a proverb-like story popped out.

“What saying?”

“A ‘person’ who has been embraced by Barbaroi can never go back.”

“…!”

Sebastian’s eyes widened as if they were about to tear.

“Wh, what does that mean…?”

“You didn’t know? You’re so innocent. Barbaroi are quite famous in that area in the Labyrinth City.”

“I, I just thought they were black-haired barbarians? I, I vaguely heard that they were born warriors…”

Seti chuckled and cut off Sebastian’s words.

“And also, lawless rulers of penis who finish off men or women as females with their superior huge things.”

“Huuuh!!! Huuuh!!!”

Sebastian’s breathing became rough.

“The half-breed you’re looking at now is the most ‘gentlemanly’ Barbaroi.”

Sebastian clutched his chest.

‘M, my Xian…!’

“Ah! And you don’t have to worry about that paladin.”

“Wh, what do you mean?”

Seti’s face came even closer.

“Didn’t I just say it’s for all genders and races? Do you think it’ll end with Xian? Your ass might be next.”

“…!”

Sebastian hurriedly turned his head and looked at Barbaroi.

He was gesturing and making excuses to others.

Was that all ‘lies’?

That can’t be.

It shouldn’t be.

Seti’s whisper didn’t stop.

“My Barbaroi is different? That’s a big mistake. How many party members have been laid under Barbaroi while shouting ‘I trusted you?!’ in secluded campsites? Xian? He’s already done for. Give up.”

Sebastian gritted his teeth and pushed Seti away.

“Stop it!”

Seti chuckled and leaned back.

“Okay. Wizard, you seem to be in shock, so I’ll stop here.”

By the time the conversation between Sebastian and Seti ended, the chaotic situation had somewhat subsided.

“I’ll believe it for now.”

Luther said, stroking his forehead.

“Hahaha!!! Just believe it!!!”

“…”

Luther nodded, but the stain of doubt still hadn’t disappeared.

Jung Yushin gave up inwardly.

As expected of an inquisitor, he was persistent.

Seti smiled and approached Xian.

“Looks like things are roughly settled, so let’s dismantle the ogre corpses, take the loot, and go to the 20th floor.”

Xian hesitated.

The request was to destroy the red orbs rather than to reach the 20th floor.

“I have a separate request. I need to destroy the red orbs.”

Seti shrugged.

“That’s fine. I can’t help you, but I can clear out the monsters next to you.”

Xian turned his head and looked around at his party members.

No one seemed to object.

‘Even Priest Luther doesn’t look too uncomfortable.’

Xian nodded, having made up his mind inwardly.

“Is that so? Then I’ll accompany you.”

He wasn’t too worried. He’s the strongest person here anyway. If they do anything stupid, he can punish them immediately.

The party members dismantled the corpses of the three ogres each.

They only took the ogres’ skin, bones, and tendons separately, and left the rest behind.

Of course, if they put them whole into a subspace bag and took them to the monster dismantling station, they could make a lot of money, but no one except Jung Yushin had a subspace artifact.

After finishing the work.

The party members gathered at the entrance of the cave, lit a bonfire, and sat around it to eat.

Jung Yushin was dumbfounded.

Because the party members except Xian were far away from him.

Especially Sebastian, who used to complain, was the quietest.

Seti chewed on jerky and looked at Xian.

“By the way, you guys were a group of warriors from the Empire?”

Xian nodded.

“That’s right.”

“How interesting. People from the Empire. They don’t seem much different from the people of the Eastern Union.”

“…”

Luther hesitated as if he had a lot to say, but he didn’t open his mouth in the end.

“Warrior, have you ever been to the 20th floor?”

Xian shook his head at Seti’s question.

“No.”

“Really? That’s good. We can rest there.”

“Rest?”

Seti smiled and stood up from her seat.

“We’re done eating and resting, so let’s go. I’ll explain it as we go.”

The party members packed their bags and left the cave.

Gibson and the orc woman, Ulga, became a team. Coincidentally, they were both guides.

Thanks to Ulga’s experience and Gibson’s excellent navigation skills, the party was able to move forward without much difficulty.

They rested at shelters when ‘horrors’ came to mind.

They hurried along the road when the sky brightened.

They crossed the white misty plateau.

They crossed the knee-high meadows and bumpy hills.

From the 17th floor to the 18th floor, and then to the 19th floor.

On their way to the 20th floor, Xian’s party found and destroyed all the red orbs.

* * *

Three days passed.

The party arrived at the end of the 19th floor.

In front of a cliff-like mountain range.

A huge gate made of stone could be seen.

A transfer stone was placed right in front of the gate.

The cold wind of the plateau swept past the party members.

Xian stood in front of the transfer stone and opened his mouth.

“Once we pass this place…”

Seti stood next to Xian.

“The 20th floor. The place where the second seal of Azdras is located.”

“I heard that no ‘rules’ exist there.”

“That’s right. There are no monsters either, so you can rest comfortably.”

“Is it similar to Ash Village on the 10th floor?”

“You can think of it that way. Of course, the price of supplies and camping materials is much more expensive. Several times more than the 10th floor?”

“…”

Xian was stroking his chin and looking thoughtful.

Seti smiled and placed her hand on the transfer stone.

“You’ll know once you go there. It’s not enough to explain it all with words.”

Whoaaa!!!

Blue and red portals were created.

Seti’s party stepped into the red portal first.

Then Xian’s party.

Jung Yushin entered the portal last.

His vision flashed with light, and he felt dizzy for a moment.

Thud.

He landed on a hard stone floor.

Jung Yushin opened his eyes immediately.

“Huh.”

Only exclamations came out.

He had seen it in books and heard stories, but this was the first time he was seeing it with his own eyes.

20th floor.

The city where Azdras’s second seal sleeps.

‘Dwarven Hold.’

Beneath a large cave, rows of bright gray stone buildings stretched out.

Large enough to be called a small city.

Because it was far away, only the faint shadows of the buildings could be seen, but he could tell for sure.

Buildings with sharp, precise shapes.

It was almost similar to the underground workshop in the Western District?

He could see why it was associated with the name Dwarf.

Of course.

It was impossible to compare it to Ash Village.

Compared to the city he was looking at now, Ash Village was nothing more than a shantytown made of roughly stacked stones.

There was one strange thing.

‘There are no torches.’

Magically created lights were flying around the city, but there were no torches or anything similar.

Jung Yushin lowered his gaze at the noisy sounds.

“Stop!!!”

Knights in full armor were shouting right in front of him.

Seti’s and Xian’s parties were standing there with bewildered expressions.

Jung Yushin narrowed his eyes and looked at the knights.

He wondered why they looked so familiar.

It was the Labyrinth City Knights.

Among them, a blonde man walked out with an annoyed expression.

“This is the Labyrinth City Knights. Hand in your torches here and go in. No, wait a minute.”

The blonde man stopped talking when he saw Jung Yushin and slowly approached him.

“Scar? What are you doing here?”

Jung Yushin shut his mouth tightly.

How could he forget the blonde man’s face?

The commander of the Labyrinth City Knights and an avid younger sister lover.

Mion’s older brother, Kain.

Kain approached and poked Jung Yushin.

“What is this fur? And where is your black…?”

“…”

Doubt began to settle in the party members’ eyes.

At this rate, his act will be exposed.

He had to continue acting until he killed Gibson, but he was facing a crisis at the last minute.

Jung Yushin swallowed hard.

gulp.

‘What do I do?’
