The Nymphs and Pluto’s Underground Labyrinth
113 ? Nymph Cult and Pluto’s Underground Labyrinth #11
The cow’s head, wedged into the side of the massive body, continued speaking in a quiet, thick voice.
In this deep pit of the abyss, in the darkest and hottest place, there is a throne made of the bones of the Titans. There is only one master of that place. And countless beings are after it… .
“What are you talking about, Sval?”
You don’t need to understand. I will cut off your head and send your existence to the deep abyss. Look for yourself there.
Sling.
Empty.
The beheaded cow monster took hold of the halberd it had stuck into the ground again.
Unless you have some strong luck, you will die by my hand today. Then-.
Go.
Boom boom boom-!
A huge body rushed towards me. Its heavy body and weapon were closing the distance, and its two legs looked like a tank running at full speed.
A tank with two legs instead of tracks or wheels. Damn, I think that looks incredibly inefficient.
Woohoo!!!
The sight I’m actually seeing before my eyes is so beyond my imagination that I feel like I’m going to pee my pants. This is why the Subaru Gundam is so damn powerful.
Die, demigod!
Phew-.
A huge halberd soars upwards and then comes down as if it were going to split everything apart. It is a very large movement, befitting its large body and huge weapon.
“Fuck!”
Thanks to that, I was able to take advantage of the gap and cling to the wall to avoid the guy’s attacks.
bang-!
The old and worn bricks of the underground labyrinth shook as if screaming at the impact of the axe hitting the floor. I, too, was about to lose strength in my legs for a moment.
I didn’t know how to avoid it. 5 points. Then try avoiding this too.
The monster guy lifted the halberd he had slammed down on the floor with one hand and swung it with all his might from right to left, pinning it into the wall.
Phew-.
The feeling of it brushing past my head made the blood drain from my back.
bang-!
If I had been even a little late in bending down, I might have had to carry my head under my arm.
Oh, maybe I was too ambitious. A big weapon doesn’t seem to fit in a narrow hallway.
A halberd embedded in the wall.
A bull demon trying to pull it out with one hand.
Taking advantage of the momentary pause he made, I swung the club I was holding tightly at his thick leg with all my might.
Bam-!
Grrrrrr!!
I thought it would be useless because of its thick muscles and skin, but when I saw it scream loudly after being hit in the thigh, my hair stood on end.
That branch. A weapon imbued with the protection of the gods! This damn coward!
“Fuck, who the hell is calling who a coward? You little punk!”
Anyway, knowing that my attack was working, a little hope rose in my heart.
My Strength stat went up to 7, and it seemed like my club was more effective against monsters than I thought!
I excitedly pounded the bastard’s torso, thinking that I couldn’t miss my chance.
“It’s the Thunderbolt Eight Trigrams, you little brat!”
Hey! Hey, hey! This, this little rat bastard!
Then, the guy who had been screaming continuously gave up the weapon stuck in the wall and spread his bare hands to grab me.
I’ll strangle you and twist your neck!
The bastard’s palm looked thick and hard, like a lid for a pot, and a sense of danger naturally rose up in my head. I rolled backwards, choosing to avoid the attack and gain some distance.
Gooooooooo!!!
A monster that screamed in anger when its attack missed. My heart felt like it was going to burst at its roar.
Get crushed!!
The bull monster that came charging at me with a loud thump threw its head away and soon grabbed my shoulders with both hands and fell on me.
Kwuuk.
“Ghhh!”
The headless monster’s two arms pressed hard against me as if they were going to crush me to death on the ground.
Is this what it would feel like to be crushed to death by an elephant’s leg? To be honest, it’s not a feeling I really want to know.
“F-f-f-f-!”
But I couldn’t just be suppressed and die like this.
So I gritted my teeth and grabbed his arm to reduce his weight, while simultaneously kicking my leg up with all my might and hitting him squarely between his wide thighs.
Hot, hot.
Soon a terrible scream bursts out from the head that is far away. Then the giant body flinches and falls to the ground.
thud.
“… Huh, shit, you demon, I wouldn’t call you a coward.”
I looked down at the guy and picked up the club I had dropped on the floor. Should I just chop the guy’s torso into small pieces and kill him? I was lost in thought for a moment.
Hit, hit.
I felt a small weight running down the hallway from afar. Another monster? A goblin? No, that was the direction where the exit was.
At that moment when I was briefly preparing myself.
“Hassan! Hey, you came to help me! You’re still alive! That’s a relief!”
A girl with pink hair tied into pigtails appeared at just the right time. She was followed by Paranoy and Velmina, the ice wizard, who were both trembling and chasing after her.
“I said we should run away, but Luna insisted.”
Could it be that Luna couldn’t leave me behind? The thought of the camaraderie that was immortal beneath that soft body made my nose tingle.
“Good, shit! Let’s all lose together! Get over it!!”
“Uh, yeah!”
Luna heard what I was saying and took out the thick silence totem she was carrying on her back.
Luna and I both use our clubs to beat the body of the lying cow as hard as we can, as if we were going to chop it into small pieces.
“I’ll take care of the lower body, Luna, you take care of the upper body!”
“okay!”
Puck, puck, bang, thud.
“What a savage sight this is… People from outside the continent… .”
“Miss Belmina, what are you doing! Shit, do you think we’re playing around! If you’re a wizard, do something!”
“Yes, yes!? That, that’s right! Step away for a moment! Frozen Saber…!”
Rain, rain.
Several thick icicles began to form in the air. Soon they flew in like bullets, slamming into the body of this huge ball of fur.
Guaaaah!!
At that moment, the head of the cow that was far away screamed loudly.
Churuk, tsurukruk.
The flesh of the cow we had been pounding with all our might began to melt away as if it were falling apart.
Yes, it melts.
The boy’s skin and muscles began to crumble at a rapid rate, forming a red puddle that felt like a thin liquid, which then completely soaked into the floor of the cold stone wall.
I was finally able to feel relieved when I saw that it had completely disappeared, without even a single bone remaining.
“Sippa, a fucking critics!”
“Hey, look at this! Hassan! There’s a skull left!”
Luna ran quickly, showing off her high agility stat, and picked up a white object that had fallen on the ground. It was a huge skull.
Looking at the horns on its head, I think it might be the mark of the head that the bull demon had been holding in its side a while ago.
The entire body was dissolved into a strange liquid and seeped into the floor. The skull was separate, so it was able to avoid disappearance. Of course, I don’t know if that’s the right answer or not.
“Wow, nice skull….”
The important thing is that Luna was staring at the skull with wide eyes, as if it were some great object.
“I, I think it would be perfect if I made it into a mask to ward off evil spirits. I wonder if I can roll the dice well… .”
The wizard Velmina, who was examining the corpse that had sunk to the floor, calmly responded to Luna’s words.
“These are truly rare-looking remains. The mana they contain is also extraordinary. I guess we’ll have to roll the dice to determine ownership, then.”
This means that the time has come to loot items, the so-called flower of party hunting.
Since there are multiple people entering the dungeon, there are often cases where ownership of items that cannot be divided into exact equal parts is decided by luck.
“I, I will also challenge myself… .”
Didier, the dwarf warrior who had been lying motionless as if unconscious until now, began to move his body as if he had heard the words “item looting.”
Subal, that kid got hit once and collapsed, and now he’s lying down, and he’s getting up at the perfect time to farm items. Isn’t this totally planned?
“Here are some dice….”
Didier usually carries dice for the guild’s requests, so he rummaged through his pockets and produced a square, cubic piece of wood.
It is a typical dice with numbers from 1 to 6 engraved on it. The one who received the dice from the dying dwarf warrior’s hands was none other than Luna.
“Then I’ll throw it first!”
Luna held the dice in both hands as if they were some kind of sacred relic, and began to recite the spell in a trembling, nervous voice.
“Mother of the Night, Lady Nox! Please raise my hand! Whoaaaa… .”
And then they even do a bizarre dance where they bend and straighten their legs and wave their hands back and forth.
It looked like a spider about to engage in courtship, and my feelings as I watched it became complicated and difficult to describe.
“Luna, what kind of dance is that?”
“The Voodoo of the Lucky King…! Good luck…!! I pray for it…!!!”
I don’t know what the voodoo of the fortune teller is, but I have a feeling that Luna is putting a lot of effort into the markings on those dice, and that she covets those cow skulls.
Magician Velmina nods her head and crosses her arms as if she finds Luna dancing for a long time.
“Ahem, the magical energy flowing through the air is changing. They are indeed creating something similar to magic through primitive dance and dancing.”
Luna’s dance is like magic? Is there really such a thing as real voodoo? When I hear that, even that ridiculous dance moves start to seem somewhat plausible.
“No, I was mistaken. It seems that witchcraft is just a superstition.”
“Oh, is that so?”
At that moment when I was so confused.
Luna, who had been shaking the dice back and forth in her hand, suddenly stopped dancing.
“Tahaaaat-!!”
He threw the dice on the floor with a roar loud enough to rattle the stone walls.
Tagrrrr.
A stone floor made of cold stone walls. On top of it, a fairly used wooden dice was spinning like a top.
Slowly it begins to lose its strength and stops moving.
Soon, everyone was watching tensely.
Show me the results.
“1.”
“Taaaaah! Eeeeeeek! Heeeeek!”
Luna collapsed as if she couldn’t believe that her number was the smallest. What on earth was the dance move she had been doing just now?
“That’s interesting. Then I’ll throw next.”
Degururur.
Velmina picks up the dice from the floor and rolls them normally.
The number that the dice rolled was 4. 4 is a fairly high number. The only numbers higher than 4 are 5 or 6.
“Mr. Hassan, I, I’m fine. I didn’t do anything…”
Convert Paranoy has meekly given up his bid. Then, only I and that one-legged dwarf warrior are left.
“Hatsan…!”
Luna looked at me with half-sob eyes, her eyes filled with anticipation. Do I really want that cow skull?
For some reason, I feel burdened, but on the other hand, I can’t help but imagine how happy Luna would be if she won the dice bet and placed her skull in Luna’s arms.
Sval, if it’s me, it’s possible.
“after….”
I took a deep breath and threw the dice I was holding onto the floor.
Bing-gur-rur.
Just like Luna’s time, the dice starts spinning like a top. After a while, when the spinning stops, the top number that is shown is-.
“1. Hehe, this unintentionally turned into a fight between me and the magician.”
“Fuck!”
“Eek!”
Luna screamed in disbelief.
I’m going to be the number 1 in the sub. I feel ashamed to face Luna as if I’ve done something terribly wrong!
Luna, I’m sorry! I’m just not very lucky with this kind of thing!
When Luna and I were looking at each other with utter disappointment in our eyes, Didier stepped forward, confidently stroking his bloody beard.
“I lost one of my legs, but I’m lucky.”
Sneak.
Didier throws the dice into the air like a game of Yut.
What came out was five marks. 5.
As a result, the skull fell into the hands of the dwarf warrior Didier.
“As expected, it seems the goddess of fate is raising her hand for me.”
Didier accepted the cow skull from Luna, who was hesitating. He examined its shape in detail and added a word.
“But I will give this to the party leader.”
What the fuck?
“Is that true?”
“I was originally killed by this monster. If it wasn’t me who was lying down, I would have run away without looking back. But you didn’t do that, hyung. This is a thank you.”
Didier rubbed his nose awkwardly beneath his thick red beard. He looked quite warm, except for the red, hardening blood that was clinging to his fingers.
“Take it. You deserve it. I watched you lie down and fight this huge monster without backing down. Siberian, I thought it was some kind of myth!”
“I don’t think it was to that extent. Anyway, thank you.”
So when I took hold of the cow’s skull.
Deering-.
『Achievement ‘Entrance to the Labyrinth’ Completed: Obtained the epic relic, the head bone.』
『Task value + 100』
『Your karma level will increase as you settle your past tasks.』
『Strength + 2』
The letters tell an amazing story.
“Oh, crap.”
Achievements increase your task and strength stats? Strength is the stat I’m currently focusing on. Damn, I’m honestly so happy!
I felt so good that I forgot all about the near-death experience just a moment ago! I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but I really felt like my whole body was filled with strength.
“Chu, congratulations Hassan… .”
Luna must have been watching me beaming at the sight, and she hesitantly greeted me as if she was holding back something to say.
Luna really liked this skull. Did she say she was going to make a mask out of it?
“Luna. Do you want this?”
“Uh, uh… I want it. Really…”
“no!”
“You, you’re going too far…!”
“Guraya!”
