#479. If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you.
* * *
[Ah…]
It was an epic journey.
It was also a fierce battle.
Running, rolling, and flying without hesitation.
Rarely is it not broken, or almost crushed by a trap that is restored as soon as it is broken.
Being caught up in a fierce battle between a group of monsters and Ellis that came out of nowhere and flying like a piece of paper.
That day was like hell.
It was a miracle that his limbs were still intact.
So it was.
Right now at this moment.
Why did Yuna-kyung have a thrilled expression?
[I didn’t expect to see the entrance to the 100th floor of the dungeon in my lifetime…]
It was thrilling.
The 100th floor is the end of all dungeons.
Of course, only 10 people passed.
Even those who saw the entrance were rare, because it was like a gateway to the absolute.
Of course, because I had been traveling with Limon and had seen the famous lords die, my emotions had faded a bit.
Still, for Yuna-kyung, who was a high-level player in her lifetime, the feeling was inevitably new.
However, only Yuna-kyung was thrilled.
It’s like I didn’t feel any excitement.
Charlotte said languidly with her arms crossed.
“You are later than expected.”
“Sorry for holding your ankle, Princess.”
“There is no need to apologize. It’s not because you’re lacking.”
Ellis is a high school senior.
Even if the Yellow Dragon is the strongest armed force.
This is the 99th floor of the dungeon.
It was a hell gate where even the big supply players had to risk their lives.
In fact, without Charlotte, several of them would have been killed or mortally wounded.
However, even considering that fact, their ability to search and reach from the 80th to the 99th floor in just one day was admirable.
“Now only the last floor remains.”
[…Do you want to go in there?]
“You’re asking the obvious. We haven’t even found the Liberation Brigade yet, so there’s no way we’ve come this far and can’t go back?”
[That’s true, though.]
Thanks to Charlotte’s words, Na-gyeong Yun scratched her head with her wings.
[Honestly, I didn’t expect to come all this way to find the remnants of the Liberation Brigade.]
As long as the remnants of the Liberation Brigade haven’t fled yet.
It is certain that it is in front of this.
The problem was the fact itself.
Breaking through the 99th floor of the dungeon means that the remnants of the Liberation Brigade also have skills beyond level 99.
Of course, considering their characteristics of using the cheat skill 『Constellation Descent』, there was nothing strange about it.
But what if they didn’t write Descent of the Constellation?
with pure skill.
Especially if you cleared the dungeon alone?
The specter in front of this was at least level 99 or higher, and maybe it was a player who had reached the level of a monarch of level 100.
[I don’t want to believe that a monarch-level player is cooperating with the Liberation Brigade, but…]
There was no confidence in Yuna-kyung’s voice.
A monster lord who was nothing short of a criminal.
The magic lord who caused the London Crisis.
The summoning lord who was blinded by lust.
Even the Infinite Lord, who was hostile to Limon.
In fact, most of the monarchs she had ever seen were willing to commit crimes if need be.
Maybe it was normal, I didn’t know.
Right now, even the princesses led the Seven Dragons Society, which was called the Demonic Cult in the past, and Sir even tried to conquer the world.
Because there is an omnipotent power.
Those who don’t have to worry about the law.
Because that was the existence of the absolute class.
That was also why Charlotte snorted at Yuna-kyung’s concerns.
“What were you worried about? Either a ghost or a monarch. After all, they are insignificant bugs.”
[Well… I guess so.]
Yuna-kyung agreed.
Anyone else would think I was arrogant.
It was because it was Charlotte who said it, so it sounded too obvious.
She is the strongest princess of the Seven Dragons.
It was because they ardently felt that they were true absolutes that no one other than the Sword Master could stand against while attacking the dungeon together.
Especially since we were together until the Seven Dragons.
That’s why Yuna-kyung didn’t worry too much when she saw Charlotte enter the entrance on the 100th floor.
no i was going to
[This floor can only be challenged alone.]
[No one except the challenger is allowed to enter.]
The moment Charlotte entered the entrance.
A system message pops up.
It meant that until she saw Alice, who was just about to follow her, unable to pass through the entrance made of light and being blocked.
[…what is this?]
Yuna-kyung was taken aback.
Areas that limit the number of people in a dungeon are not uncommon.
The reason why raiders on the 100th floor are rare is because there is a restriction that only one person can enter the boss room.
However, I had never even heard of PAB’s materials, let alone rumors, that an entire floor had a limit on the number of people.
Charlotte, on the other hand, was not surprised.
Rather, he just snorted as if it were ridiculous.
“The remnants of the Liberation Brigade played a rather interesting trick.”
[Can you say that you are having fun now? Only one person can enter here!]
“What did you mean by that? Even so, the result would be the same.”
[No, but…]
“Ellis, wait here until I catch the remnants of the Liberation Brigade.”
“Yes My Princess.”
[See this?!]
Charlotte completely ignored herself.
In addition, Yuna-kyung was taken aback when she saw Alice snapping her hat without hesitation.
Then, it escaped from Elise’s shoulder and clung to the entrance made of light.
[Wait a minute rich sister! Even so, it’s too dangerous alone…!]
Pyeong.
[…Eh? Kyauk!]
That moment.
Yuna-kyung was taken aback.
As much as he saw Ellis blocked, he thought he would be blocked too.
For some reason, it naturally passed through the curtain and tumbled inside.
why did you come in?
Looking at Yuna-kyung, who was confused, Charlotte said with interest.
“It seems that fools like you are not treated as challengers.”
[Now even dungeons discriminate against animals?!]
“Isn’t that a good thing? Still, you have to follow me to the end to save face with the swordsman who attached you as a hunting hawk.”
[Why are you going alone when you say that?!]
He hesitated for a while.
In the end, Yuna-kyung eagerly pursued Charlotte, leaving Alice and the Yellow Dragon at the entrance behind.
So after a while.
Yuna-gyeong, who could not bear to ride on Charlotte’s shoulders and followed her with her short feet, looked around and muttered,
[I thought the 100th floor would be a bit more bloody or scary, but surprisingly it’s not much different from before?] A
wall covered with rocks.
A passage that is neither narrow nor wide.
Even the light source embedded in the middle.
Volcanoes, sky city areas, etc.
As a high-level player, Yuna-gyeong, who had been through all kinds of dungeons, was disappointed that the 100th floor was no different from the previous ones.
“Isn’t there a difference?”
[yes? What is it?]
“See for yourself.”
[So what do you mean look at…?]
Yuna-kyung closed her beak.
It was because I realized it belatedly because of the slightly dim lighting.
The presence of bloodstains dotted on the floor of the aisle Charlotte and herself were walking through.
While Yuna-kyung sees the obvious traces that someone came here first and swallows a dry spit.
Charlotte continued to follow the trail of blood.
After a while.
The moment when a long passage finally ended and a place appeared.
She stopped walking.
Pyramid covered with bushes.
Ruins with waterfall flowing down.
A temple with only pillars remaining.
Old and antique shrine.
Tombs as large as hills, etc.
A huge city comparable to Rushmore City, which seems to have gathered all the ruins of the world in one place.
The radiance of gold and silver treasures overflowing everywhere was so beautiful and mysterious that it exerted magical powers that captivated the soul.
But at this very moment.
It wasn’t the treasure Charlotte was looking at.
It seems like there was a huge fight.
A ruined city everywhere.
In the middle of it, a figure sitting on the wreckage of a collapsed demolition man caught Charlotte’s attention.
“To greet me with such a messed up look. The bugs in the Liberation Brigade don’t know that there is dignity from one to ten.”
“Whoop… whoop whoop.”
How long has it been since you fought a fierce battle?
still dripping blood
The boy, now only in his late teens, laughed.
with joy
deep and low.
at the end of a laugh
A boy’s voice emanating.
“It’s amazing, Princess Gold Dragon. To come through the dungeon I made so quickly.”
Even if it was just a moment ago, I would have said it with hatred and humiliation.
but this moment.
The boy was able to readily acknowledge Charlotte’s greatness.
Because…
“But you are too late. Because I am stronger than you now.”
“Do you think so?”
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it.”
Looking at Charlotte, who was not displeased, but made an interesting expression as if she had heard a funny joke.
the boy said quietly.
“Descent Ⅳ Labyrinth.”
Wow!
right after that.
Starlight penetrated the boy, and an armor made of mechanical parts wrapped around his bloody body.
It is the Holy Ghost.
A treasure made with the power of the Seven Arcs.
An armament dedicated to the ghosts of the Liberation Brigade that allows the maximum use of the power of 『Constellation Descent』 by preventing the rate of erosion.
With that alone, the holy flag could be said to be the supreme item.
But outsiders won’t know.
It’s just an add-on.
The true value of the Holy Spirit period is different.
It’s just that in order to use the true function, it couldn’t be used until certain conditions were met.
and this moment.
The boy had a way to meet that condition.
Among the two rewards obtained by clearing the 100th floor of the dungeon, an exclusive item that can only be used by yourself.
The moment when the boy who lifted the puzzle of Daedalus (Δαίδαλος) put it on the mechanical armor.
Giing.
change has begun
The mechanical armor that swallowed the one and only monarch-class item in the world disintegrated into starlight and directly permeated the boy’s body.
The incident did not end there.
Muscles swell in a small body.
A spiral pattern comes to mind.
The hair is dyed a muddy gray color.
The skin retains the luster of iron.
When all the changes were over, there was no more bloody boy left.
Instead, it was just a dwarf whose entire body was made of iron, with a vicious smile on his face.
[What is this…?]
The moment I saw it.
Yuna-kyung involuntarily swallowed her breath.
She had seen or heard about the Liberation Brigade’s 『Constellation Descent』 many times.
However, the boy was different from the ghosts of the past.
I’m not talking about appearance.
It was a completely different feeling from the forced increase in ability felt by the ghosts who used 『Constellation Descent』.
Just like a caterpillar becomes a butterfly.
A natural yet overwhelming sense of intimidation, as if he had obtained what he had to achieve.
That is why the sense of heterogeneity, as if seeing something that is not of this world, felt more vividly, made Yun Na-kyung chill.
“Hoo?”
Unlike Yuna-kyung, she faces Charlotte, who rarely makes an admiring expression.
Clear the 100th floor of the dungeon.
A boy who has reached level 100.
The 11th Absolute of the Iron Age.
The labyrinth lord Labyrinth opened her mouth with a pleasant voice that seemed to mix with iron powder.
“Show me the strength of a true player, Dragan.”
