Chapter 131: It''s so grand
[Luxury White Elytra]
[Grade: Unique]
[Restriction: Lv.350]
[Effect: When equipped, the attribute magic generated by the user is stored. The number of magic that can be stored is proportional to the color of the wing, and when the stored magic is activated, mana consumption is reduced by 30%. Number of currently stored attribute magic: 100]
A magic tool I rented before entering the Demon Kings Castle rutpure.
I couldnt live without the procedure.
So why was I still keeping the item and not returning it?
If anyone asked, I had a good reason.
Strictly speaking, I borrowed it again.
[Token of the Whirlwind].
[Luxury Item Lightning-Struck Tree Branch Wand].
[Luxury Item White Elytra].
I had thought about this while returning the items I rented at the Magic Tower and Ga Hall.
It would be better to keep at least one as insurance.
I was able to demonstrate my specialty of knowing my ce.
I dont have [Natural Enemy Rtionship], so I need to pack an item properly.
The item I chose out of the three was, of course, the White Elytra.
Most of all, its performance was truly a sham.
The effects of other items were also significant, but.
If it wasnt for the elytra
I would have never been able to take down Demon King uros.
Considering its effect, its surprising that it only has a unique grade.
There were no procedural issues in extending the rental of magic tools.
Who am I?
From being a parachute, I was now recognized as the chief co-researcher.
Of course, even if I didnt use the chiefs authority, it seemed there were no mages who needed [White Elytra] in the first ce.
-There are a lot of magic tools that have been returned. Take your time looking around
The skilled mages of Ga Hall even suggested that.
The other magic tools?
They were great.
It was beyond a great level and Id like to try using it too.
But the level restriction was really high.
p
In the end, I only had one option.
I put the elytra on my shoulders like a cape.
The elytra clung to my shoulder as if it were alive.
I felt like I had really sprouted my wings.
Even for Grandfels aesthetic sense, its appearance was extremely satisfying.
Dont I just like luxury goods too much?
That thought suddenly crossed my mind.
Well, it was still a profitable deal.
I checked the changes in the stat window.
[Name: Grandfel udie Arpheus Romeo]
[Title: The Last Adventurer]
[ss: Demon hunter]
[Level: 425]
[Stat]
Strength: 71 / Agility: 76 / Mana: 387 / Luck: 6 / Aesthetic: Medium
[Points: 0]
Thanks to wearing the elytra, the [aesthetics] stat rose again from low to medium.
Without [Natural Enemy Rtionship], even the slightest change in stat was a relief.
Even if it was pathetic, I couldnt help it.
I had to take care of what I needed to take care of.
Thats a magic tool of the Mage Tower!
Of course, no one else could figure out myplicated intentions.
Fabian and his party were clearly impressed.
Of course, due to the situation, everyone came to their senses right away.
No, Sir Hoyeol. You want to break through the trap head-on!?
.
.
.
Thefern was an ancient city.
!!!
From the beginning, the dark spirits words were shocking.
The explorers of the League, Aaron and Rombus, let out augh.
Including them.
Thefern was a ce that a lot of explorers had clung onto.
In the past, they couldnt get a single proper clue.
I didnt expect to learn Theferns secret in this way
Dont talk more, Aaron. Im losing energy too.
Lets be quiet for now, both of you.
In fact, Fabian felt the same as those two people.
Even if the method of each exploration was different.
Exploring with the help of spirits.
It was something he had never experienced before.
But Fabians mind was calm.
He judged the situation realistically.
Normally, it takes at least a week to explore thebyrinth.
However, this was not an ordinarybyrinth. It was the Top 10 Wonders of the Arcana continent.
If they werent skilled at this, it would take twice as long.
No, can we beat it?
Even now, it took several minutes to disarm one trap.
Three explorers, including him, stuck on it together.
But they didnt have enough time.
Well, didnt Hoyeol say that time was like afternoon tea?
As Sir Hoyeol said.
This is a rupture, not the Arcana continent.
Considering the increase rate of the copse progress.
Fabian had no choice but to quickly admit.
It wont be possible the way we nned it.
In that sense, they needed to listen carefully to the words of the dark spirit.
Information about Thefern would help in some way.
They ended up waking up the Being That Should Not Be Awakened.
Being That Should Not Be Awakened?
In the depths of this underground.
!
sh!
Fabians intuition perked up at those words.
He had felt difort from the moment he stepped into the Thefern Labyrinth.
If treasure or fame didnt exist here.
What was the reason thebyrinth was built?
Finally, the questions in his head began to connect together.
Fabian murmured quietly.
Was it to seal the Being That Should Not Be Awakened?
If you thought about it that way, everything fit.
The traps were soplex that even the designer couldnt disarm them.
The structure was excessively inefficient.
Even the gloomy voice that had echoed in thebyrinth.
Leave this ce immediately. Unless you want to die.
Fabianughed bitterly.
It wasnt a warning, it was a friendly concern?
Indeed, as a legendary explorer.
Fabians intuition was correct. As the dark spirit continued to speak, Aaron and Rombus swallowed their silence. Then he looked at the wall where the trap was hidden.
They didnt cast it to simply screw us up.
The magic is not ordinary, either. Its ck magic.
Because ck magic is the only thing that remains after many years.
No matter which magic tool you used.
Magic manifested from mana couldnt be maintained permanently.
However, the ck magic manifested by the right mana was different.
Right mana came from the past and background.
Fabian expressed his sentiments.
Its a tragedy.
He didnt know the specific story, but.
Thefern, who had awakened the Being That Should Not Be Awakened
In order to fulfill their responsibilities.
To keep the peace of the Arcana continent.
They created abyrinth to seal the Being That Should Not Be Awakened, and they sacrificed themselves until now. Was this a sacrifice to the ck magic so that thebyrinth could do its job?
Having learned all that fact.
Aaron ced his hand on the wall of thebyrinth.
Then what about the presence I felt inside the walls?
They were the residents of Thefern who were forever unable to sleep.
He couldnt believe there was such a secret hidden in the wonders.
Silence
Fabian and the others, lost in thought, fell silent.
Of course, the silence didntst long, thanks to the bombshell Hoyeol dropped.
No, Sir Hoyeol. You want to break through the trap head-on!?
It was a conversation between Hoyeol and the dark spirit.
They only overheard it, but even they could understand Theferns truth. Sir Hoyeol couldnt have misunderstood However, Hoyeols actions continued as if those words we not meant to be empty words.
Tap tap
Hoyeol flew his wings and moved his steps.
I will carry on Theferns pride, Fabian.
What do you mean?
A Being That Should Not Be Awakened was sealed in thebyrinth.
Does that mean youre going to make the seal stronger?
But Hoyeols answer was far more shocking than he expected.
Being That Should Not Be Awakened. All I have to do is remove the culprit.
!!!
.
.
.
Being That Should Not Be Awakened
It sounded so powerful.
I recalled the information about the rupture.
[Rmended level: Lv.500~?]
Now I could see why the rmended level was not specified correctly.
It was because this monster was involved in one of the world-ss quests, the Top 10 Wonders.
At the very least, it was a named monster, and in the worst case, it was a boss monster.
Damn it, I am doomed.
I really resented this guys pride
Noblesse oblige.
I couldnt help but look at everythingpassionately.
Grandfels aristocratic pride was telling me.
Thefern has fulfilled their duties so far.
From the time when the Ancient City of Thefern was intact until now.
The survivors of Thefern became hosts and sacrifices to ck magic and guarded thebyrinth without falling asleep. They deserved to rest in peace.
Perhaps the system was also moved by this damn tiring pride.
The quest window shed.
New quest goals were updated.
-Witness Thefern Labyrinth (Sessful)
Reach the depths of thebyrinth. (On Hold)
Defeat the Being That Should Not Be Awakenedd sleeping deep in the depths. (In Progress)
Even the system was moved by this pride.
Fuck.
I judged coldly.
Once the rupture was created. It would be inevitable for us to meet.
Being That Should Not Be Awakened.
It was sealed in the depths of thebyrinth.
If I didnt get rid of it, the rupture wouldnt be cleared anyway. However, that didnt mean that the conversation I had with the dark spirit was meaningless.
How should I put this. I was the first to find out that we would get beaten up.
Still, I should be d that I had time to prepare.
I cant just like this situation.
Regr monsters and named monsters were on a different level.
Named monsters and boss monsters were also on a different level.
I couldnt believe I had to get rid of the Being That Should Not Be Awakened that obviously would be a named monster at minimum and a boss monster at worst.
It was a very burdensome situation for me now that [Natural Enemy Rtionship] was not activated.
But there was no hesitation in my steps.
I headed towards the other side of thebyrinth.
I heard Fabians rmed voice.
Sir Hoyeol! The wall will copse. The inhabitants of Thefern who fell victim to the ck magic!!
Was it because of the heavy pride that made it impossible to live without sinking?
Or was it because I had White Elytra that fluttered elegantly?
If not, was it because Haiel and the dark spirit were by my side?
No, that was not the point.
Because I knew.
Darkness is encroached by deeper darkness.
The nature of ck magic.
ck magic.
A misceneous type of magic whose concept just got established in modern times by Senior Matis Dean Carl. Although ck magic had a short history, my knowledge about it was sufficient.
Who was Matis?
He was a mage who was closer to the chief position than anyone else before Marcelo rose to prominence.
In other words.
His capabilities.
There was nothingcking in the ck magic books he wrote.
I had read every single book on ck magic that existed in the Mage Tower.
Crash
Perhaps because I took a step forward without hesitation.
A trap was triggered.
Looking at the crumbling wall, I said calmly.
Did they manifest ck Tube throughout thebyrinth? Right. It would have been difficult to seal it in a simplebyrinth. I can guess what they were concerned about.
Intermediate-level ck magic.
The effect was to take away some of the targets five senses. The ck Tube that appeared in the Thefern Labyrinth was aimed at only one target, the Being That Should Not Be Awakened.
Soon, a ck figure fully revealed itself.
In order to maintain that ck Tube, it must have required an enormous amount of right mana. Topensate for that, a ck Contract was made by sacrificing their bodies.
Advanced ck magic, ck contract.
To put it simply, it was a type of necromancy.
If there was anything else, it was the difference between mana and right mana. And unlike the necromancers necromancy, the ck contract could also be manifested in living subjects.
At my words, Fabian hesitated.
Sir Hoyeol, that means In order for the residents of Thefern to seal the being trapped in thisbyrinth forever. They sacrificed their body as an offering for the ck magic?
Nod
Haiel nodded on my behalf.
Yeah, Thefern.
Since it was a Wonder, its story was so dark.
But regardless of the consequences. The fact that they sacrificed their lives to prevent chaos on the Arcana continent didnt change.
I could understand why this guys pride couldnt overlook it.
So now that I could understand it.
I didnt whine anymore.
Leave. Unless you want to die. Leave.
All that remained was just the resentment from the living.
The ck Contractors were approaching.
The number was countless.
Leave. Unless you want to die. Leave.
Leave. Unless you want to die. Leave.
Leave. Unless you want to die. Leave.
But I didnt back down.
I knew their pride.
I also knew their resentment.
I know your hearts.
Being That Should Not Be Awakened.
I didnt know what its identity was, but with such a grand name, it must be a great being.
By the way.
This side also had a grand title that wasnt inferior to that.
Infinitely Deep Darkness.
The problem was, it was so grand that I felt like dying from hearing it.
Gooo
I raised the mana that was fitting for that nickname.
It was different from the one that responded to the dark spirit.
The entire Tetpern Labyrinth began to respond to my right mana.
Rumble-!
Thebyrinth shook.
I hear the panicked voices of Fabian and his party.
P-President Fabian! What is going on?
But I couldnt afford to listen to them.
Was it because of my dark history, or was it because of Grandfels gloomy background setting? The source was unknown, but so many right mana surged to the point that its end was invisible.
Even just controlling this was daunting!
But, as always, I wasnt shaken.
Soon, the ck contractors who were approaching me stopped.
At the same time, a message came to my sight.
[You have gained themand of Theferns ck Contractors.]
It said something different than before.
After a long wait, the opportunity to correct your mistakes hase.
*
Rumble!
Thefern Labyrinth shook as if it were about to copse.
yers screamed everywhere.
But the real thing just started now.
It doesnt stop shaking!
Mobs will jump out of thebyrinth walls!
Crazy! What kind of bastard is it? Hurry up ande out, you troll!
Each of them had a different location in thebyrinth, but all of them took a fighting stance.
ss explorer Park Hwigang, who possessed insignificantbat skills, also raised his dagger for self-defense.
I would like to ask for your understanding in advance. The broadcast might get uneven.
It wasnt an ordinarybyrinth.
He had a hunch, but he had no idea there would be such a drastic change.
Was it as expected of the Top 10 Wonders of the Arcana continent? His temporary party members also expressed their thoughts.
Only one or two jumped out, but I was already sweating.
There must be more than a hundred, right?
Do you think its only a hundred? It seems like the wholebyrinth is copsing.
Hyungnims, noonims. I think today is my memorial service day. Please give me expense money to the afterlife.
No, are you really going to jinx us there?!
So what? Did you pay for my yukgaejang<sup>[1]</sup>Yukgaejang or spicy beef soup is a spicy, soup-like Korean dish made from shredded beef with scallions and other ingredients, which are simmered together for a long time. Source: Wikipedia. ?
Rumble!
As the argument was about to heat up.
Thebyrinth copsed just in time.
However, the dry saliva they swallowed was meaningless.
Huh?
[Theferns ck Contractor].
The grim-looking monsters didnt rush at them.
No, instead of being hostile, theypletely turned around and started heading in the opposite direction.
Thats?
Toward the depths of thebyrinths.
A ce where the Being That Should Not Be Awakened were sealed.
And a ce where the Infinitely Deep Darkness had set foot.<ul><li>1. Yukgaejang or spicy beef soup is a spicy, soup-like Korean dish made from shredded beef with scallions and other ingredients, which are simmered together for a long time. Source: Wikipedia. </li></ul>
