Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

Almost there.

Follow the spirit that guides the way.

Eris, who was following Yoohyun's side, stared at the spirit as wonderfully as she could.

”You're a Demibeast, but you're quite good at spirits. I was surprised.”

Is that so?

“Yes. I don't know because I don't have a contract for spirits in my case, but it would be surprising to see a lot of other people. ”

In a way, it might be a compliment, but the reaction of Song Zin was grave.

Just like that, Song Ga-yeon focused on guiding the way.

It's hard to imagine that Song Ga-yeon is happy with the compliment.

Eris laughs awkwardly about what she saw in the labyrinth and disappears.

Instead, I focused on looking around, and Eris said she never knew there was a place like this. You could say that the slums were located in every corner of the city.

How much he followed behind the Spirit. Song Ga-yeon says.

Here we are. We have a hostage with the same face as the montage that Eris gave us.

At that time, Yoohyun exchanged eyes with Eris for a moment and stood in front of the house.

It was a shabby house that was woven into planks like a house in a slum. On one side of the corner, I saw the wall rotting, and on the other side, I saw a hole covered with an old cloth.

If you wield your sword with a little bit of strength, the house will collapse immediately. Glad you could avoid the rain. It was a house I wanted to live in.

“· · · Slums live in places like this. “

Do you feel sorry for living in a place like this? Eris' expression is not good.

Yoohyun knocked on the back of his hand with what could be called a door.

I wonder if it's been about 30 seconds since the sound rang. I heard a sound inside.

Who are you?

It was the voice of a young man. However, the voice is locked as if I had a cold somewhere. If you listen carefully, I think I can hear a cough or something. Even if he was sick.

· · · What should I say? Yoohyun glances at Eris.

“Explain why you're here. “

“Yes? That, that, that, that. Oh, yes! “

She is stuttering, but she raises her head as if sober.

It was Eris who investigated the case. Yoohyun just found someone.

In Yoohyun's eyes, Eris swallows his saliva and stands at the door and introduces himself.

· · · Really. It was hard to believe I was chasing the killer.

Is it an illusion to hear the laughter of the song from the floor?

I'm sure you're watching this with a spirit, so I think you're really smiling.

* * *

Despite explaining the story, the Demibeasts of the Slum let Eris into the house without difficulty. It was futile for Yoohyun to be wary of running away.

“Am I? ”

I think I'm going to step on it. The Demibeasts in the Slum laughed with a puzzling face.

“No way. I've been in this house all day. Coloc.”

The Demibeasts repeated their coughs and spoke of their innocence.

“As you can see, I'm not in a state to wander around. That I'm a murderer. “

The Demibeast speaking with trembling eyes did not look like a murderer.

It's not just a lie. Yoohyun felt desperate as well.

“Is that so? ”

In the case of Eris, the Demibeast has been deceived. He looks sorry.

· · · Really. Are you looking at the scene with the Spirit of the Earth and making that face?

The sooner the Demibeast threw up the story with desperate emotion, the cheaper Yoohyun's face became.

There are two things floating in my head. Is that real or fake?

The Demibeasts in front of him were certainly masters of Montagnais.

“Cough. Cough. ”

Demibeast coughs again. Whoever saw it, his weakened body seemed hard to commit murder.

For a long time, the diseased body, arms and legs were as thin as leather on the bones.

I couldn't have eaten properly because I was a slum resident.

Even a young child can easily shake off an opponent like this.

There, Eris whispered in Yoohyun's ear.

“I don't think I'm really the culprit. Am I in the wrong place? ”

“But the face you saw with the Spirit of the Earth was this one, wasn't it? ”

“But · · ·. It may be a similar person · · ·. ”

It's not just about lying. Eris was thinking that he might have done something wrong because he was a Demibeast with a really sick body. Yoohyun sighed.

* * *

After all, instead of catching the killer, I came out with just one apology. In the case of Eris, I handed over the potion I had to him. The Demibeasts repeatedly bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude.

· · · Was he not the culprit?

Out of the house, the Spirit of Wind told Song Ga-yeon.

“I don't know. First of all, it seemed hard to kill someone with my eyes. ”

Maybe he really resembles you. I'm sorry.

“You don't have to apologize. It was almost the same as Montage's painting. ”

Montage was someone's painting after all. It's not a picture.

So it can get confused with someone.

“Ugh · · ·. I guess I was wrong, too. ”

The grim voice of Eris coming from the side. I haven't held my face properly since before. A blonde hair stretching axially towards the floor was showing her condition.

“· · · In the labyrinth, here and there, it causes civil unrest. I'm sorry."

” · · · · · · · · · ”

Yoohyun didn't say anything. I just looked back slowly.

- What is this?

An ominous yet frightening sensation. Yoohyun narrowed his eyes.

Looks like someone sent a strong life behind his back.

Yoohyun, looking back, stops walking and talks to Eris.

“There was only one man in the house, wasn't there? ”

“Yes? Didn't you? ”

After hearing what Eris had said, Yoohyun immediately broke the ground.

At that moment, Yoohyun's movements and speed were like a single wind.

He was surprised what Eris said, but Yoohyun had no time to answer.

The voice of Eris moving away.

I run towards the Demibeast's house, which I was just in.

As he approached, Yoohyun could feel the sticky air.

It was as unpleasant as drowning in a swamp, and it was heavy air that seemed suffocating.

Upon arriving there, Yoohyun can be sure that the source of this energy is the Demibeast's home. I feel a strange miracle inside the house. It was livelihood, a strong force.

It is impossible for a Demibeast who had such a weak body to live this way.

It is also impossible to feel strong enough to feel dangerous.

Then what is it? It's definitely a miracle, but .

’Let's check first. ’

Yoohyun walked in and opened the Demibeast's door. It was a loose door with no lock, so I didn't need the owner's permission. Yoohyun, who opened the door and peered inside, frowned.

“ "

There is still a Demibeast who talked to Yoohyun and Eris.

But it was strange somewhere.

The gaze of Yoohyun wandering through the air, as if locked in his mind.

Cold fluttering eyes. It wasn't the eyes of a frail sick man.

Powerful and energetic . It was a predator's eye.

At that moment, I thought of things like psychopaths and duality, but Yoohyun denied it in his heart.

Quality is different from such things. It has completely changed since its existence.

I had a little flesh on my arms and legs that was as thin as leather. My shoulders widened, my muscles stuck and I was so energized that I couldn't believe it was a sick body. I can't even see him coughing again.

The dying pupil turns into something unknown.

The fertile life erodes the surroundings.

” · · · · · · · · · ”

Yoohyun pulled out his sword, feeling the air quality changing without a sound.

Eris, who arrived late at the lightning, shouts in his back, furiously surprised.

”Evan!? Why is it black all of a sudden? ”

“Enemies.”

“Yes? Enemies? This is · · ·. ”

Fortunately, there seemed to be no need for a long explanation.

Eris wasn't that stupid. I open my eyes to a different Demibeast.

Like a lake, someone throws stones at a crystal clear pupil.

“Would you step back, please? “

Yoohyun's voice rang loudly. Eris nods quietly.

Yoohyun bit her back. Without a proper weapon, she gets in the way.

I'm sure I have a dagger, but I'm uncomfortable with Yoohyun.

“Argh. ”

Have you read about living? The face of the Demibeast, who had no expression, appeared for the first time.

It was a strange expression that seemed angry and afflicted.

"Huge · · ·. Argh!”

His breath is blurred. I shed an urgent sigh, as if I couldn't breathe properly.

But that too for a moment.

His expression and breathing, which had changed bizarrely several times, stopped immediately.

There was only one last thing left on his face.

Living like a pomegranate, the pupils became entangled, and the dry lips became distorted.

At the same time, I heard something popping out of his body.

“ "

Yoohyun grabbed the sword without saying anything.

There, the Mage cried.

Ooooooooooo

Kill him, and I wanted to ask Yoohyun about that screaming Mage.

What the hell is in front of you right now?

However, as if there was no room for such questions, the oddly deformed Demibeasts moved.

That movement was quite fast.

It's a moment, but it vanishes out of sight, revealing itself right next to me.

Lift the sharply turned nails toward Yoohyun's neck.

Yoohyun was also a surprisingly fast mover, but there is no problem.

Yoohyun's eyes quickly captured the Demibeast's movements, and at the same time the sword moved.

A sword with a fan tears the atmosphere.

He's fast. However, Yoohyun speeds him up and quickly overwhelms him.

After a few seconds . The Demibeast's house collapsed without being able to withstand the shock waves created by the Mage.
