_ Volume 8, episode 13,
188. 40 chapters. Child of that family (2)
“What are you doing? Ambrecia.”
The Spirit King frowned. In front of her was Ambrecia, lying on the floor like a corpse.
Ambrecia opened her mouth without moving.
“You have nothing to do? Let’s spend some time like this.”
“I hope you keep your dignity about power.”
“Dignity is a piece of shit.”
Ambrecia stood up grumbling.
“How many times has it failed to break through the 74th floor? Now even counting is annoying. It’s all meaningless, so how about spending time meaninglessly?”
Since arriving here, they have never broken through the 74th floor. Now they are used to failure. The spirit king smiled bitterly as if he understood Ambrasia’s feelings.
“Don’t be too hard on yourself. There is a child who is working hard to come down here.
I don’t know what would happen if that child joined us.”
“…that guy.”
Ambrecia frowned.
“Did you go to fight the one who is favored by the Demon God?”
“okay.”
The Spirit King nodded.
“We went up to kill the one who opposed us. It’s about time we met.”
“I came to think about it, are you okay? That guy is also favored by the demon god
, and isn’t Kwaned a demon? What if we push each other and join forces?”
To Ambrecia’s worrying words, the Spirit King answered indifferently.
“No need to worry. That guy is stupid.”
“If at all possible, express it as pure. You are so pitiful.”
Ambrecia said timidly.
“But stupid is stupid. And they are obsessed with us who acknowledged them. So we made a deal like that.”
“What about that…
Ambrecia couldn’t argue until that point, so she kept her mouth shut.
“If you have that much talent, why do you crave affection so much?”
“Those without talent do not understand those with talent. It’s not uncommon for a person with Kwaned’s level of talent to be persecuted and unloved.”
The King of Spirits spoke calmly.
“There were quite a few people like that among the people who actually signed a contract with me. Most of them have brought down the country they belonged to.”
“is it?”
Ambrecia looked puzzled. Seeing that, the Spirit King realized.
“Come to think of it, you are a being from the world of utopia. It would be incomprehensible to you.”
“Well… I came here because I didn’t like it either.”
Ambrecia shook her head.
“Betrayal is okay, right? Does it end when you die? To be honest, we don’t even know if this will be long or not.”
How strong is Taishan?
Because the Demon God blocked the information, even the leaders do not know about it. Since they were similar, he just thought that the demon god would have allowed the battle.
However, even with those words, the spirit king’s expression did not change.
“It doesn’t matter either. Even if Kwaned dies, Kwaned’s power will return to us.”
“…no way?”
Ambrecia’s eyes widened. The spirit king said calmly.
“I made a contract. Even if he dies, his power will belong to us.”
“Is that adventure where you fight against us?”
Taesan nodded. Even during the conversation, the muscles of his whole body stood up tight. I have adjusted my body
so that I can respond whenever the opponent rushes at me .
“ha.”
However, the other side showed no signs of doing so.
The young demon with black hair let out a deep sigh.
“My name is Kwaned. what is your name?”
“…Kang Tae-san.”
“Taesan? It’s an unusual name.”
Quaned showed no hostility at all. Not only that, but he didn’t even take a fighting stance.
This made me feel like an idiot for responding. Even after activating the concept skill, Kwaned showed no hostility, so Taesan also relaxed his combat stance.
Quaned rubbed his forehead.
“I will be honest. I don’t want to fight with you.”
“Then don’t fight.”
It was a bit like Taesan too, determined to fight the demons in front of him.
The devil did a lot for him. He gave her a special favor and presented
many rewards, even cutting her territory .
That’s why Taesan had feelings of gratitude for her.
If such a Demon God did not have to defeat the demons he felt sorry for, there would be nothing wrong with him.
“But… I can’t. I am a member of them I really hate it.”
Kwaned sighed deeply and drew his sword.
Seeing his attitude, Taesan couldn’t help but wonder.
“If that’s the case, why did you come in? If it were you
, they wouldn’t be able to do anything even if you didn’t go in.”
The devil loves his child. In particular, it seemed that he had a deeper affection for the demon called Kwaned. The Demon God, who didn’t pay much attention when he defeated the demon called Jagan before, appeared in person this time and showed a bitter expression.
If that’s the case, even if the guide refuses to join, the leaders can’t do anything about it.
The Demon God said that mortals do not get involved in the Labyrinth incident, but mortals cannot be relieved. Since all of them could die at the simple whim of an immortal
, it was highly likely that if Quaned had stubbornly refused, they would have resigned as well.
Quaned bit his lip. Taesan shook his head, not wanting to answer.
“Then just get out of the way. Even if you refuse to fight, they won’t do anything.”
“I’m sorry, but that’s impossible.”
Kwaned said grimly.
“I made a contract. A contract that they cannot refuse if they think
their orders are reasonable.”
“…why do you do that?”
Taesan was absurd.
Judging by the look on his face, he didn’t do it because he wanted to. Quaned said as if protesting.
“I didn’t know either. I said that you have to do this of course to belong to the original organization. It is unacceptable for an organization member to reject the will of the group.”
“That’s right, but there’s no reason to tie it up with a contract.”
Kwaned gave strength to the hand holding the sword.
“…Noisy.”
It was a small voice, but Taesan could hear it. he clicked his tongue
I could understand why the Demon God felt sorry for him.
[Even a guy like this can break through if he has talent.]
“It’s noisy.”
Quaned said harshly.
Quaned
was, to put it nicely, an ignorant being with only talent.
The ghost burst into laughter.
[I can guess. Outside of you, you are a human or a demon. Didn’t you get treated like a demon?]
Kwaned’s eyes shook for a moment.
[Others must have been afraid of you. It must have been a life where I hadn’t had a proper conversation with anyone and didn’t receive affection. Didn’t they believe that they were wrong for fearing them?]
As if they had seen it for themselves, the ghosts
began to pinch one by one. Every time the story of the ghost progressed, Quaned’s pupils shook greatly. Taesan asked.
“What are you talking about?”
[It’s not difficult. People are afraid of beings different from themselves. I don’t know if it’s a normal level of talent… If it’s a talent that can go down to the depths of the labyrinth, that in itself is heterogeneous.]
Taesan realized what that meant.
A gift that was so great that it was born was the law to be ostracized. Even the guides of sin, who were blocked in each hierarchy,
were geniuses in their own world.
And the owner of a talent that can look down on those who are much better than him.
[I was similar. There were rumors that I was a descendant of the Demon King. Since I am of the blood of the royal family, I was able to suppress it to some extent with force, but if I was ordinary or close to the poor, it would be obvious.] The ghost clicked its tongue, perhaps
thinking of the persecution Kwaned must have suffered.
[There is no way that the unlearned can understand talent. It’s a place where talent can’t bloom, so you entered the labyrinth with your self-esteem shattered, right? And you would have realized He said that he had talent and that the outside was strange. Didn’t it feel good to enter the labyrinth in such a situation and to be greeted by the leaders? Those who acknowledged them have appeared.]
The person who believed that he was wrong because he had no talent realized that he had talent.
A person who was not loved by anyone who was not loved
met someone who acknowledged him.
[It must have been even better since they were the ones who showed outstanding skills in the labyrinth. Because those who have this kind of power acknowledge them. You must have felt like a person of worth. So you just listened to what they were saying? That way, those who recognize you will be happy. That’s how you feel like you’re valuable.]
Kwaned kept his mouth shut. His pupils were shaking like crazy.
His attitude
showed that the ghost’s words were real. Ghost clicked his tongue.
[Don’t take it off. I’ve seen a few guys like you. They also roll well with this kind of kid.]
Taesan gave Kwaned a sad look. Quaned bowed his head.
[It’s not that rare. It’s rare for a talented person to have a perfect mind. Surprisingly, it’s surprisingly common to get caught up in people around you and suddenly die or lose money. If you survive, your personality will be twisted a lot, but I mean.]
“It’s noisy.”
Kwaned said gloomily.
“What do you want from me by saying that? It’s all over.”
[Nothing special. I just said it because I remembered the past. If you get a chance, then don’t make a mistake.]
The ghost’s voice contained bitterness.
“Anyway… I have to fight by contract.”
In an instant, the momentum I felt from Kwaned
changed.
It had the same momentum as a megalith that had been in place for thousands of years, like a solid rock. Taesan also corrected his posture.
The youthful demon tribe, which seemed somewhat immature and innocent, disappeared without a trace.
[You’d better be careful,]
said the ghost softly.
[The demons in front of me are obviously stupid and pure and don’t know anything… that’s because it also informs other things.] Despite
having such a shortcoming , he was able
to overcome the 50th floor, receive recognition from the leadership, and be allowed to go to the depths.
It meant that he had enough talent to overcome his deficiency.
The battle has begun. Kwaned and Tae San moved at the same time.
Taesan’s first feeling when he saw the moving Kwaned was clean
.
So far, adventurers have been unknowingly clumsy. It was obviously strong and fast, but there was plenty of room in the movement.
However, the demons in front of me did not see such a gap at all. Like water flowing, he approached Mount Tai and swung his sword.
Kaaaang!
Swords collided with swords and made a sound. It was the loudest crashing sound Taesan had ever heard.
And it was strong.
Taesan
was being pushed, albeit very minutely.
fault.
Taesan put his foot between Kwaned’s legs. Then, pushing his body, he restricted Kwaned’s movements.
Quaned did not back down. Rather, he also responded by bumping his knees against Taesan.
It became a situation where they could not freely move their swords with each other. Taesan tried to hit Kwaned’s chin with his elbow. Quaned quickly drew his sword and raised his elbow with the palm of his hand. Then
he took out a dagger and stabbed him in the armpit.
Taesan twisted his body to avoid it.
Move your other hand and lower the handle to take a picture. Kwaned moves his sword and cuts it off.
Kagagak!
They did not use any skills and responded only with physical movements. It was a kind of exploration.
That’s how we got to know each other.
‘It’s strong.’
Taesan thought as he let go of the raging attacks. Quaned was really
strong.
He couldn’t see any of the gaps he felt in the guides he had dealt with so far.
He responded to all of his movements and even counterattacked. The movements are perfectly linked to each other, and no gaps were visible. It was several steps above the guides so far.
And Kwaned was playing as Kwaned did.
‘Are you blocking my attacks?’
He was going downstairs after being allowed to go deeper by the leadership. Of course,
it was a thorn in the eye of the guides of each hierarchy.
Of course, no collision occurred. No one had a liver big enough to touch him, which the leadership directly permitted.
However, Quaned was puzzled by the wrathful and hateful gazes.
Why are you angry at me with that much power?
From Kwaned’s point of view, all the guides except for the leadership were weak. If he fought properly,
there were only beings who could not even resist and die.
That’s why he didn’t care much when he came down to fight at the command of the guide. I just thought I would be a little stronger than them.
But no.
Taishan was really strong. Now, Qua Ned was an adventurer in the 51st class. Even on the 51st floor, he gained a lot by attacking and understanding the labyrinth, so he was far above ordinary adventurers.
However, even though Taesan was on the 40th floor, he was not pushed back in the battle with him.
It was very shocking to Kwaned, who looked down on all the adventurers except for the leadership.
Their
shoulders collide with each other and the distance increases. After a brief lull, the ghost whistles.
[Although he is still immature, he has the strength to survive. Are you really strong? As far as talent alone, it might not be that good compared to me before I was alive.]
It was dangerous. It was an enemy whose victory could not be guaranteed.
However, a smile hung on the corners of Taesan’s lips.
Seeing the smile, the ghost nodded.
[I guess so.]
“This is how it should be. So far, it has been very flat.”
This is the Alone Mode. It is a labyrinth that summons outstanding warriors and warriors from each world.
All the adventurers who appeared on such a subject were too ordinary.
By the standards of the outside world, they were obviously strong,
but in the labyrinth, all were weak. There were only those who could not go down the labyrinth and were defeated.
There were many times when he risked his life while descending the labyrinth, but there was never a time when the guides of each hierarchy were included in it. No matter how big the gap was, he was able to win without difficulty.
In the case of the leadership, the difference was so great that I didn’t think much of it.
A proper adventurer appeared in front of him.
An existence that goes all the way to the depths of the labyrinth.
A person with the talent and power to conquer the labyrinth one day is fighting him.
“But I am the one who wins.”
Taesan gave strength to his feet.
