Episode 756: Solving the Ant Cave
Why is this happening again?
I pinned the clingy sexy guy to the ground and looked at the system message log.
Unless I saw it wrong.
‘Concept shame reacted.’
The concept of shame that I received when I inherited Heiden.
I thought that was because there wasn’t much movement yet.
“Now that I think about it, there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
There has never been a situation where the concept could be invoked.
Well, what happens if a situation arises that makes me feel embarrassed?
I looked to see if anything had changed, but there wasn’t anything yet.
Is it because the inherited concept has not yet taken root?
Or maybe it was a form of increasing the assimilation rate like when he inherited Alios.
‘I’ll have to ask Ophelia about this.’
Since he also inherited the Chaos Fragment, he must know something.
anyway.
“Why are you here?”
“I was caught on my way to the capital, brother.”
“no.”
For some reason, I thought the guy who was talking loudly in the community was quiet, but this is what happened.
I’m glad it doesn’t look that bad.
He must have been trapped for several days, but his nutrition and physical condition did not seem to be bad.
I don’t know why I was naked.
Did you notice my doubts?
Sexy Guy clears his throat.
“Hmm. As you know, my concept is exhibitionism. “I tried to escape by twisting my whole body.”
“That’s really great.”
“ha ha ha! “I’m embarrassed.”
A guy who smiles and scratches his head.
no. That’s not something to be ashamed of, you crazy person.
I felt dizzy all of a sudden, but it was okay.
It would have been nice if we had met by chance.
Thanks to you, I also checked some information.
‘If I’m trapped in an anthill in my house, I can’t even use the community.’
To be precise, I could use it, but my ability to write or express myself was limited.
Just as a lost object does not tell itself its location.
Other than that, you can use the store window or inventory without any problems.
The reason my health is fine is because of that.
There’s one more thing.
‘Even if you have the concept, it’s not easy to escape.’
You must remember this part.
I don’t know how much Sexy Guy can handle the concept, but being dealt something like this is not something to be taken lightly.
Right now, even for mid-level monsters, there are cases where the processing team will be punished, but what about higher-level monsters?
I was lucky this time.
“Let’s go out and look around.”
“Yep brother!”
Because I came here to remove a concept stuck somewhere.
Let’s take him out on the way.
Ozar doesn’t seem to care much either.
What was important to him was not being a sexy guy, but the concept planted by an admirer.
‘I’m sure they’ll be around.’
I sent it here, so it will be around.
The problem is that the objects in the space called the anthill are moving little by little.
There, floating in the air, a turtle was floundering and flying to the other side.
What looks like a soccer ball also bounces as if something transparent has kicked it.
“Didn’t you see something with a concept nearby?”
“Most of them are ordinary items. “There are also some animals.”
A half-skinned lizard can be seen on the floor.
I thought he was dead, but when I saw him wiggling his toes, he seemed to be alive.
“Looking at it, I have to eat and sleep here too, but it seems like I won’t die if I don’t eat, right?”
“Remaining starved?”
“yes. “There are still kids who seem like they’ve been here for a long time.”
It’s amazing.
I can roughly understand why.
Because it stinks when it dies.
Then wouldn’t you know where the lost creature is?
In short, this guy has no intention of returning what he lost.
One of the things I’m curious about here.
“Did you come here because you were captured by Ochar?”
The reason this guy came all the way here.
You can stop by the castle, but is there any reason to go inside the ant cave?
Since he was a guy who stole things, there was no law prohibiting him from kidnapping people.
“Who is Ochar?”
“The name of the strange creature that lives in the castle.”
“aha. “It felt strange somehow.”
I recognize it quickly too.
The guy who was rubbing his chin opened his mouth.
“It was night when I came here, so I was just going to sleep and leave, but I heard a noise.”
“sound?”
“Someone asked me to save you, Kim Jung-hyun of justice. How could you ignore it even after hearing that! “I followed along and this is what happened!”
If the sound keeps getting farther away even when you get close, don’t you think it’s a trap?
This guy hung out with the hair loss man and it was clear that he had a problem with his hair.
anyway.
‘I don’t think Ochar is fighting directly.’
Although they steal things and lure people into labyrinths, I have never seen them fight directly.
Is it because you lack combat skills?
Maybe so.
If you see something stuck in a wall.
There is only one reason to collect information about this guy.
‘If things go wrong, I may have to catch you.’
This is to prepare for the worst case scenario.
It would be nice if there were concepts like pathfinding or escape, but there isn’t one.
Let’s focus on work for now.
“older brother! “Are you talking about that concept?”
Sexy Guy pointed to one side, wondering how long he had searched the surrounding area.
A mountain made of miscellaneous things.
There is a shining sword stuck on it.
It was plugged in too straight for it to have been plugged in by accident.
-Crack.
-Gurrrrr.
Objects around it were gathering around it.
Now I see that it was not a sword stuck on top of a mountain of miscellaneous things, but a mountain of objects gathered around the sword.
It was definitely a suspicious item.
-Taat.
As I stepped up, I felt deep confusion.
It’s subtle.
It may or may not seem like a strange entity.
At the center of it all.
“found.”
There was a purple gem embedded in the center of the sword.
[Concept: Suppression]
This thing was holding onto things that were thrown away in the anthill.
Things that should move naturally are forced to stop.
I think I just need to pick this one.
-Aaaah!
“What are you doing?”
Suddenly, a sword was pulled out and aimed at my neck.
Ozar said.
This concept is the most dangerous.
The other guy was talking about dying if he went, so I wondered what it was like.
-Kaang!
I struck it down with the chaos sword.
“It’s not as big of a deal as I thought.”
Although it was amazing to see a sword that moved by its own will, I didn’t think it was dangerous.
Just right. until now.
[The sword of suppressing the concept weapon demonstrates its power.]
The concept and the sword resonate, and in an instant, waves spread out in all directions.
Flow like a shock wave.
My breathing stops for a moment.
“Hmm? older brother?”
I’m not the only one who felt this.
Sexy Guy also opens his mouth wide as if he is having trouble breathing.
“It was something like this.”
I frowned.
control.
That damn sword is blocking my breathing.
[Conceptual rebelliousness ignores inhibitions.]
Puha!
The breath that had stopped comes out.
at the same time.
[Absolute Domain (SSS) Lv.2]
I have created my own domain that cannot be invaded.
“You’re behind.”
I was able to strike the sword with a much more comfortable body.
Then fire bomb.
[Fire Bomb (SSS) Lv.MAX]
-Quaaaaaang!
Overwhelming firepower swept away the concept weapon.
My skill level rose as I caught strange creatures.
The heat and destructive power of the flames had grown to the limit and had the power to melt and destroy everything within its range.
-Chieeeeek.
-Boogrrr.
The sword was not destroyed.
Although the handle has melted, it still maintains its shape.
I narrowed my eyes.
that.
‘It’s a material filled with chaos.’
It’s not as good as the chaos sword I use, but it has similar properties.
In order to transfer the concept, it has to be at least that level.
-Squirt!
-Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-gang!
A sword that attacks with fierce force, as if struggling.
As if the suppression had been strengthened, the skills I fired disappeared the moment they left the absolute area.
If there was no absolute domain, the skill itself would not have been suppressed.
“Oooh. “Aaaah!”
Sexy Guy’s painful voice is heard from behind.
He was also suppressed.
“What are you doing! “Stay behind!”
I hurriedly shouted, but instead of falling, the guy walked forward.
Even though he couldn’t breathe properly and his face was pale, his eyes were shining.
“Ugh! Come on!”
Slurp.
I took off the jacket I was wearing and threw it away.
At the same time, I took a deep breath.
“Wow. “It’s a little less stuffy now that I take it off, bro.”
The act of taking off one’s clothes frees one from inhibitions.
Is that the power of exhibitionism?
I was impressed without realizing it, but surprisingly I wasn’t envious.
Concepts also have compatibility depending on the situation.
In that sense, Sexy Guy was not prone to inhibitions.
“Good. “Don’t overdo it.”
“Don’t worry, brother!”
I was able to provide sufficient assistance.
I flicked the sword around and looked at the liver.
“Cheer up!”
The moment Sexy Guy made a surprise attack, the concept weapon rotated greatly.
It seemed like an action to stop him, but thanks to that, a gap was opened.
[Mangeunchuhwan (S)]
He increased the weight and gave strength at once.
-Quaaang!
Unable to overcome the force, the concept weapon falls into the ground.
He rolled over and hugged the sword of suppression.
Although the sword trembled to escape.
“No matter what, it won’t work.”
I don’t know if there are users.
If the Ego Sword only moves with the power contained in the weapon, it cannot defeat my power.
It even came into the absolute area I activated?
[The conceptual weapon suppression sword stops moving.]
-Click.
Then the game is over.
Once the main driving concept has stopped, it can no longer run wild.
Just in case, I even pulled out the concept stuck on the sword and put it in my inventory.
“As expected, brother! “It was neat.”
The guy giving a thumbs up.
While I was laughing, the mountain of miscellaneous things began to collapse.
As soon as the concept that was suppressing the flow disappeared, it started rolling.
Perhaps it’s compensation for having stopped so far, but it’s flying out in all directions, from the sky to the ground.
-Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm.
-Kaga River! Kang!
-Spurr!
I ran away to avoid the overflow of items.
Objects scattering with a cheerful sound that feels refreshing.
I don’t know where it was going, but I could feel that the tight space had been released.
“It looks like it was resolved somehow.”
“You are a minister, brother.”
As I said, it was spectacular.
I lay down on the floor for a moment and admired the sight, then took out the concept weapon I had put in my inventory.
Since the concept has been extracted, isn’t it now a concept weapon?
“You worshipers. “I never thought I would have something like this.”
It is risky for people to accept the concept directly.
Because you never know when something strange will happen.
But what if you put it into an object like a weapon?
Although a person may be transformed under the influence of a concept, he or she will never become a monster.
Of course, objects can become strange things, but if the worshipers have the technical skills, they can be easily controlled.
“This might be harder to deal with than I thought.”
This meant that even ordinary people would be able to use the concept indirectly.
I think it would be nice if we could make it too.
There are by-products obtained from catching monsters, so you can collect the materials somehow.
It’s good if you can make it yourself, but if not, you can also request it from Flower and Bird Bureau or Framberg.
Or ask Lilka.
Because Lilka is also a craftsman.
First, let’s send a sample to Framberg.
I think it would be better to leave the Flower and Bird Bureau to Nyangpun.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Did he notice that the concept had been recovered?
A corner of the ant cave was transformed and a way back was opened.
“let’s go.”
“yes!”
I entered the hallway with Sexy Guy, who quickly got dressed and stood up.
The guy smiles brightly and waves his hands, perhaps because the concept that bound him has disappeared.
“It was done faster than I expected. Thank you!”
Next to him, Nyangpun had collapsed and was shaking.
