Chapter 430
Right after the mana burst out like an explosion.
I was seized by the sensation that my body was being sucked into something.
It felt like my body was being pulled towards the door I was holding.
An irresistible and powerful attraction.
I somehow rebelled against that power and shouted.
“From now on, all four of us will split!”
Everyone is sucked into the door they are holding.
“I don’t know if it’s a trap or if it’s originally structured like this, but first of all, it’s certain that it will be divided like this.”
No matter what I do, I can’t let go of my hand holding the doorknob.
Adela, Soonchan, and Stella also look no different from me.
No matter what we do now, we can’t stop this situation.
“From now on, each of us must survive.”
From now on, the only thing you can trust is yourself.
“Don’t worry too much about falling. If the place is divided into 4 places, the amount of mana in each place will decrease by that much. There won’t be a situation that you can’t handle alone.”
The fact that the place is divided into four means that the mana within the labyrinth is also divided into four equal parts.
As the amount of mana decreases, the monsters and traps that appear in the labyrinth will also weaken.
“Separation could be a good situation for us. therefore… … .”
Don’t worry too much, and proceed with the attack with confidence.
while saying so
Ku-goo-goo-goo-!
Along with the tremendous roar, the already strong attraction became even stronger.
Without saying anything, I was sucked into the door.
* * *
“Heir.”
I opened my eyes with Mimir’s voice.
“Here… … .”
As soon as I opened my eyes, I immediately looked around.
It is quite similar in appearance and structure to the place where it was before.
Roughly, if I just removed all the doors from the previous room and made it in the form of a hallway, I wonder if this would be the structure.
“As the successor said, all four are scattered.”
Mimir pointed to the other side, which I hadn’t checked yet.
“There is a door. It looked like it wouldn’t open.”
There was a door behind it.
A door that has the same shape as the door that sucked me in just before.
No, it’s not the same shape, it’s the same door.
“I think we will have no choice but to split up and proceed with the attack.”
Mimir said, tapping his fingers in the air.
It’s invisible to my eyes, but it seems to be manipulating the hologram keyboard.
“Contact… … I can’t. If we could contact each other, we would have been able to proceed more safely by exchanging information.”
Elena-sama, it seems that he was trying to connect with Aslan-sama.
I got up from my seat and went towards the door.
I grabbed the doorknob again and gave it strength to turn it.
“It won’t open either?”
I wondered, but it was the same.
Doesn’t look like it will open either.
Mana did not even change at all.
“It’s properly divided.”
“huh.”
Mimir smiled bitterly.
“I didn’t even know it would happen there.”
“… … Who would have known.”
I think it’s just a labyrinth. Who would have expected it to be separated as it is?
“still. Like the heir said earlier. It’s not such a bad situation.”
“right. What if the amount of mana had decreased so drastically… … .”
I looked around again.
The vast amount of mana from before disappeared without a trace, and only ambiguous mana remained.
To be honest, this is also a considerable amount of mana, but it felt relatively small, perhaps because the comparison target was the room just before.
“Adela and Soonchan have Elena-nim and Aslan-nim attached, so I don’t think there will be a problem unless it’s a really trivial thing… … .”
I don’t really worry about those two.
I have only one thing to worry about.
It was about the appearance of a monster with complete immunity to the magic shown in the beginning.
Otherwise, there would be no room for trouble between the two of them.
“I’m a little worried about Stella.”
The thing I’m most worried about right now is Stella.
He doesn’t have a separate partner, and he probably doesn’t have much knowledge about the labyrinth.
If there’s a problem, it’s very likely that it’s coming from this side.
“He? I don’t think he has anything to worry about.”
Mimir made an expression of ‘Is that so?’ and then hinted.
“With or without knowledge, the feeling is so good, so… … .”
It was a look that could tell what level of evaluation of Stella was located in Mimir’s head.
Even if I can’t do it, it seems to be in the upper ranks of reliability.
“Don’t worry too much.”
Mimir laughed bashfully, as if trying to reassure me.
“Worrying about it doesn’t change anything.”
“… … yes.”
There’s no point in worrying unless there’s nothing more you can do here.
In this situation, all I can do is finish the attack as quickly as possible.
It could be that someone arrives first to trigger the completion of the raid.
If the destination is the same, you can go back to find your comrades from there.
“let’s go.”
I immediately turned around and looked towards the hallway.
And just like that, he started walking away.
Did it take about 10 minutes?
“… … uh?”
I encountered an unexpected person at the corner of the hallway.
“… … Mr. Ha Yul?”
“… … stellar?”
Stella Binoche.
She was looking at me with a shocked expression.
* * *
Meanwhile, another hallway.
Ji Sun-chan was also on her way.
He is slowly advancing along the road with an expression and attitude that he will be vigilant about everything, holding on tight to the string of tension so that he can respond immediately to whatever happens.
“It looks like a monkey.”
The way he moved slowly step by step like that was just like a monkey.
“Keep your posture like movement art in moderation, and go for a brisk walk.”
Aslan crossed his arms behind him and made a sound.
“… … What if a trap pops out while walking fast?”
“It doesn’t come out. There are no traps nearby.”
Aslan looked at the hallway.
As a magician who rules space, Aslan’s spatial perception is at a level beyond imagination.
Such an ordinary hallway looked like a blueprint to Aslan’s eyes.
It’s like a blueprint made by a designer.
You can tell at a glance whether there is a trap or not.
“… … Is it really not there?”
“does not exist.”
“Really?”
The veins on Asran’s forehead stood out because of Ji Soon-chan’s continued suspicion.
“Don’t talk and do as I say.”
If you don’t want to die, just hang on.
Aslan glared at Sunchan Ji with such determination.
Jisunchan shook his shoulders and shut his mouth.
“… … Yes, I understand. You just have to walk fast.”
He gulped down his dry saliva and began to walk with a stiff posture.
“Well, there is something like a trap. Isn’t it?”
Even though I was walking at three times the speed compared to the previous speed, there was no sign of a trap or anything like activating.
It was as Aslan said.
“You just follow my instructions. That has the highest survival rate.”
“… … yes.”
Jisunchan replied in a crawling voice.
It was an expression that seemed to have realized once again that it was right to think for yourself and do what Aslan said.
“I wish it had been like that from the beginning.”
Aslan clicked his tongue.
Ji Sun-chan replied with a tearful expression.
“I thought about it myself, so I was careful… … .”
“A thought is a thought. Don’t make excuses, just go for a walk.”
Jisunchan pursed his lips slightly.
“That mouth. Put it in before cutting it off.”
“… … yep.”
He pursed his lips and closed his mouth. The relationship between the two was usually evident.
“Stop.”
It must have been about 10 minutes since I had been on the road like that.
The far corner of the corridor caught my eye.
It curves sharply to the right, so you can’t see the foreground beyond.
“Go slow here.”
Before Asran checks the structure of the hallway, you must be as careful as possible.
“… … yes.”
Ji Sun-chan moved slowly with a nervous face.
sneaky, sneaky. As a thief moves, very carefully.
I walk slowly without making a sound of footsteps.
That’s when I slowly checked the scenery around the corner.
“Wow!”
Someone shrieked and put their face right in front of Ji Sun-chan’s face.
“Aaaaaagh! Chew! What the heck!”
Ji Sun-chan was frightened and stepped back.
Then he rotated his mana to use magic right away.
“… … Eh?”
In the meantime, the face of the opponent caught my eyes.
“boy. It’s scary.”
familiar face.
I’ve seen it so many times, the face of a close friend as familiar as my parents.
“Hayul, why are you… … ?”
Shinha rate.
He smiled as if enjoying Ji Soon-chan’s reaction in the corridor and approached.
“I do not know either. I just walked all the way, are you here?”
Shin Ha-yul was lost in thought with a serious expression on the world.
“Is there a structure where two people meet like this from the beginning? Or was it because there was a trigger and we were able to meet… … .”
From one to ten, each and every movement was the Shin Ha-ryul itself.
“Sorry. If we were going to meet like this, I wish we would have met Stella or Adela.”
“… … what? why?”
“If any of us are going to die, isn’t your death the least power loss?”
“… … Aww.”
Even such a joke was Shin Ha-yul itself.
“OK. I’ll show you the least amount of fear.”
Ji Sun-chan’s tension was immediately relieved. With the appearance of a reliable leader named Shin Ha-yul, tension and vigilance melted away like sugar in hot water.
“Whoa, calm down. we’re attacking right now I’m not trying to use real magic.”
“… … Is it true that you talk nonsense during the attack?”
“Uh huh. You seemed so nervous, so I joked to let you relax. You don’t know this.”
Shin Ha-yul smiled like a Shin Ha-yul.
Looking at Shin Ha-yul’s smile, Ji Sun-chan laughed the same way.
“Yes, Sasha. It did ease the tension.”
“Isn’t it just me?”
The two slowly approached each other.
With a bright smile, like welcoming a friend you haven’t seen in a while.
“okay. There is only you, man.”
Ji Sun-chan took a step closer to Shin Ha-yul with a sigh of ‘Eh-huh’.
“however. The fact that you appeared there means that the other side is also blocked. Where should I go?”
That’s when I got closer to about 5 meters like that.
“… … back off.”
Aslan said with a cold expression.
Ji Sun-chan stepped back with a startled look on his face.
It was an unconditional reflex derived from learned fear.
“… … why?”
Shin Ha-yul asked with an expression of why.
“… … .”
Ji Sun-chan stood back and stiffened.
My head is complicated.
Why did Aslan suddenly tell me to step down?
“God’s rate.”
Aslan spoke again.
Shin Ha-yul did not respond.
“God’s rate.”
Again, no answer.
“Where is Mimir?”
“… … !”
Only then did Ji Sun-chan notice.
The person who should stick to Shin Ha-yul’s side.
there is no mimir
“Sunchan? why? Do you feel anything around you?”
Cold sweat ran down Jisoonchan’s back.
I can’t hear Aslan’s words.
I am not accompanying Mimir.
that means this.
“… … you. who is this?”
This man in front of me is not a servant.
“Who are you? What are you talking about? What, did you have hallucination magic?”
I got goosebumps.
Facial expression behavior gesture breathing gaze processing. Everything is the divine rate itself.
Even at this moment, ‘Isn’t it? Is it really Ha-yul?’ Shin Ha-yul was himself.
“… … you. What did you do with Ha Yul?”
Anyone can see that Shin Ha-yul is himself, but this man is not the real Shin Ha-yul.
That’s why I got goosebumps.
“hmm… … .”
Shin Ha-yul’s expression hardened.
The expression of not knowing English.
While scratching the back of his head in that state, he stared straight into Ji Soon-chan’s eyes.
Then he sighed deeply and smiled.
“how did you know?”
Something other than Shin Ha-yul gave up pretending to be Shin Ha-yul and was smiling brightly.
