– Volume 5, Episode 1
101. Beguecetta’s Lamb
(11)
An existence that protects Beguecetta. dragon.
Sometimes, adventurers in the labyrinth mistakenly thought Taesan was a dragon. It meant that it was a being with that kind of strength.
And Taesan finally found out why they thought that way.
‘Isn’t there a big difference from God?’
At least on the outside, it was hard to find a gap with the gods he saw
. A gentle strength that could not be believed to be mortal was flowing from the golden dragon.
Even though it seemed that Balveneres was reducing his strength out of consideration for Taesan, this level meant that he could not win even if hundreds of Taesan attacked him.
Taesan, who felt a moment of strength, asked.
“Why did you call me?”
From the moment Taishan appeared on the mountain, he felt the tickle tickling force touching him.
“Isn’t that why you want to kill me according to God’s will?”
[No way.]
The dragon smiled.
[I am a dragon given the role of protecting the earth. Whatever God wants, it has nothing to do with me. That’s why I didn’t touch the children of the Demon God who settled in my land.]
The dragon slightly looked away. Looking out of the cave, Balveneres murmured.
[Well, that will be meaningless now
. The reason I called you is to solve the last curiosity.]
“Curiosity?”
[I am the dragon that protects the earth. In other words, they are bound to this world. So I’ve always been curious. About the gigantic labyrinth created by wizards and where the great gods settled.]
The reptile’s eyes turned to Mount Tai. Balvenares, who was looking at the mountain, couldn’t hide his admiration.
[Surely that’s great. It is understandable that the Demon God endured the shame.] The Demon God
does not give quests unless they belong to the Demons .
It is safe to say that she gave the quest directly to the human Taesan, even if she had to bend her pride.
[It must mean that the demons in this world were worth it to him.]
Balvenares said with a sad face.
[But that is over now. To be destroyed by fanaticism. It’s such a sad thing.]
“What do you mean it’s over?”
[The young demon is enraged
.]
Balvenares calmly continued.
[About this world where things of their own are dying. She is silent because her things still remain, but that will end before long. The world will be shattered. If she hadn’t been obsessed with her own things, she would have collapsed right away.]
[I don’t understand a little bit there.]
The ghost intervened. The ghost is a labyrinth, and beings outside could neither feel nor hear it.
But Balvenares asked quietly.
[What do you mean? The dead.]
[Is Hamon a god born in this world?]
[That’s right. More than a hundred years ago, mortals became transcendent. He is called by the name of Harmon.]
[Then, Harmon can come soon, right?]
The gods within his realm are very strong. Even a drunken god can’t touch it. That’s what the ghost had been saying all this time.
[Even if the demon is angry, it won’t be able to interfere more than that?]
Balvenares laughed at the ghost.
[You’re strong.]
[You were quite strong.]
The ghost boasted. Balvenares affirmed.
[If it was you in life, you would have been able to defeat me. But you don’t know about gods.]
[Because the gods I’ve met are over two figures?]
[I’ve only seen their appearance.]
Balvenares said calmly.
[We’ll find out sooner or later.]
[Hmm.]
The ghost didn’t seem very receptive, but didn’t say anything more. Balvenares looks at the mountain again.
[You have quenched my curiosity. And the first mortal I met. So I’ll do you a small favor.]
The golden dragon raised its paws. The tip of the toenail
was cut off and flew to Taesan.
[This is the dragon’s claw. If there is someone who can smelt it, it will be of good help to you.]
“Thank you.”
Taesan accepted the unexpected reward.
dragon’s claw.
If it was the blacksmith of the labyrinth, smelting would be possible.
[Farewell. Perhaps this will be our first and last meeting. Then I’ll go get ready.]
“Preparation?”
The dragon raised its paws. The magic energy began to rise.
[The last outburst.]
With a calm voice, the dragon’s figure disappeared.
The huge cave was left empty, leaving Taishan Hall.
Taesan came out.
He put the claws in his inventory and came back down the mountain. When I arrived at the village, I saw Anessa who was embarrassed.
“what’s the matter?”
“Oh Tae-san!”
Anessa’s face brightened when she discovered Taesan.
“Where have you been!”
“I had someone to meet.”
“Are you a person?”
Anesthe tilted her head. It was because Tae-san had never talked about being close to anyone while staying by her side.
A demon called Artneki belatedly also appeared.
“Uh uh uh Aren’t you gone?”
Artnechia was visibly embarrassed when she saw Mount Tai. Anessa also said with a sad face.
“I thought you went without saying…
“I’m going to talk and go.”
“Ah… are you staying for a while?”
“Probably.”
I don’t know when the quest will be completed, but at least it wasn’t in the mood right away
.
At Taesan’s answer, Artnekia was even more flustered. The agitation was visible between the pupils.
At Taesan, staring at her, Artnekkia belatedly came to her senses and cleared her throat.
“Then we will arrange a room for you. Since he is the one who saved the princess, he must treat her well.”
Taesan could read the agitation and determination in those eyes.
Taesan, lying in the room provided, looked at the ceiling.
I could see the sunlight that shouldn’t be visible through the ceiling. The unpolished wooden floor was hard and bumpy, stabbing my back painfully, and when I glanced around I saw several insects crawling up the walls.
“At this point, it would be more comfortable up on a tree.”
The house was not playing the role of a house.
Still, I had no intention of complaining. It was true that it was a relatively decent house compared to houses with half-hole ceilings.
Knock. Knock.
There was a knock on the door. Taishan got up and opened the door.
“what?”
“Ah Taesan, are you okay?”
Anessia shook a wooden bottle shyly.
“If it’s okay, I thought we’d have a drink.”
“What kind of drink is it?”
“They say it was made after a lot of trial and error in the village. I begged and got one.”
she laughed lightly It was brighter than before, probably because it was looking for a nest.
Taesan moved away.
“Come in to come in.”
“thank you.”
She pulled out two wooden glasses.
Taesan drank the drink she poured out
.
[Determining poisoning…]
[Decision failed. You have become secretly addicted. Stamina decreases by 5 every second.]
“Are you okay?”
she asked with a worried face.
Taesan nodded.
“not bad.”
“lol. thank god.”
She, too, poured a drink into her own glass.
Taesan examined her face, but her face was not particularly affected.
‘Is it a poison that only works on humans?’
Taesan swallowed the drink and opened his mouth.
“The village looks miserable.”
“It’s kind of like that.”
Anessia made a bitter face.
The demons ran away and said that they couldn’t bring even the mediocre tools properly. There was no way it would work if they built a village on the ground with nothing
.
The result was like this, but the house ended.
‘Originally, I thought there were two hundred people.’
They could not bear it for five years and died, leaving only fifty people.
“But… it’s still a village where my people live.”
Anessia said with a determined face.
“I will live here and help everyone. But if you try to live as hard as you can, the day will come when you can rest
.”
She said with a smile and caught all the expressions. Anessia bowed her head respectfully.
“Thank you again. Thanks to Taesan-nim… I was able to meet my own people again.”
she said in a trembling voice.
Anessia knew that she would be pursued forever and that one day she would be caught and die. It was unimaginable even in my dreams to reunite with old ties that I thought were dead like this.
It all happened because Taesan was there
.
No words were enough to express my gratitude to Anescha.
“Even if you were rewarded enough, I still feel uncomfortable. So…
Anessia bit her lip. She closed her eyes tight with a flushed face.
“If Taesan-nim wants it, come here with me…
“Enough.”
Taesan shaved her head. Falling backwards, she held her forehead and
blankly looked up at Mount Tai.
“Don’t be stupid. you will live here And I will leave.”
Anessia bites her lip.
“Are you going back to the labyrinth…?”
“That’s the only place I’ll go.”
Beguesetta is, after all, just a place that passes by as a quest.
No matter who he meets and what kind of relationship he has, it all disappears when the quest is completed.
Anessia does not give up and stands up.
“Even a peaceful life here…
“That’s not what I want,”
Taesan shook his head.
I didn’t choose the Alone mode for a peaceful life.
“You are still young. Live here, grow old, and get married. That is your reward for me.”
With those words, Taesan left the room
.
Anessia reflexively reached out, but Taesan had long since disappeared.
Anessia lowered her head.
Taishan went into the forest. The silent ghost opened his mouth.
[Sorry?]
“Noisy.”
[I think that kind of life is okay. It’s true that you’re outstanding… but the labyrinth is where even such people die.]
“It doesn’t matter.”
I am no longer afraid of death.
“And cutting like a knife is good for her.”
The ghost realized.
[I’ve felt it before, but my heart is weaker than I thought.]
“It’s noisy.”
[I have no intention of interfering. I’ve seen many cold-hearted people, but they’re all dead. It’s a good thing because I can stick to it thanks to that.
And it wasn’t even the time for that.]
Taesan’s refusal wasn’t just for personal reasons.
[Are you okay?]
Taesan glanced at his stamina.
[Shield: 42/192]
[Health: 2250/225
“There is no problem.”
However, the 150 shield was cut. It meant that it was a fairly strong poison.
He must have prepared something stronger after hearing that Taesan killed the sword master. If Taishan had been an ordinary inhabitant of this world,
he would have suffered a blow.
“It can’t end like this.”
[I should get more compensation for this.]
The demon’s request was to take Anessha to a safe place.
It was a quest whose meaning varied greatly depending on where it was safe. Taesan thought that the place where the demons had fled and settled was the destination of the quest, and Anessha also believed that way.
However, the quest was not cleared.
In other words, this was not a safe place at all for Anessa.
coo!
A roar echoes from beyond the forest.
A mighty being approaches here. The total amount of power is also the total amount, but the type itself felt was different from ordinary adventurers and monsters.
It was close to the power of God who had come to see it.
Quaang!
Trees are uprooted and sediment hits Mount Tai like a tidal wave.
[You activated a backlash.]
The sediment that was rushing to swallow the mountain was thrown back.
Sediments bounced off by repulsion and pouring sediments collide with each other and are scattered. Taesan throws his fist at the soil bouncing in all directions. The front is pierced with a pagong sound.
“Be noisy too.”
A golden light can be seen through the cracks. In the countless scattering of brown, there is a wing that is not stained with a speck of dust.
A beautiful angel with eight wings appears. It is so huge
that it is several times the size of a human.
[You encountered Harmon’s angel.]
“You must be the last.”
Perhaps this will be Harmon’s final outburst.
It must be the line he crossed because he couldn’t forgive the demons.
An expressionless angel holds a golden sword.
[The opponent is an enemy that is very difficult to win.] It’s been
a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time
.
It meant that it was just below the impossible enemy.
Taesan pulled out his twin swords and tensed his whole body.
“Then let’s do it.”
Taesan kicked his feet.
Level up with skill
