“I was waiting. Yoohyun.”

Upon arrival, guided by the Spirit, Lute was there waiting for Yoohyun. While secretly killing him on one side of the corner, he glances at Yoohyun and walks in laughter.

Did Ferné go in here? ”

"Yes. Maybe it came from a different reed. I asked Song Ga-yeon to investigate, but I don't think I can find out. The city is so big, you can't help it. ”

Then, Yoohyun stared at the entrance to the groundwater.

That was groundwater, so it must be natural, but at the entrance there is a gross smell.

It was like a deep, dark margull, where there was a mix of smells, and I was rotting.

· · · What is Ferné doing there?

Thinking about it, Lute opened his eyes slightly and asked with an unexpected look, like a blade.

“Are you going in? “

“I should.”

“There must be a trap. “

“But I'm sick of being dragged around anymore. “

“But that would be dangerous. ”

“You think I don't know that? ”

Lute laughed and shrugged.

I said something unnecessary. Lute realized later after speaking.

“That's right. I'm just asking. “

“Please join me while I'm inside. “

“· · · Are you going in alone? ”

Yoohyun nodded. That's why I left Percy alone.

Percy was currently at the inn.

Yoohyun told her to tidy up and get ready to leave.

At first it was she who rebuked me, but I told her to go back again and again, and she nodded with her rebellious eyes closed and her mouth closed. A obedient woman. She somehow follows Yoohyun's words.

“If anything happens, I'll run straight to the maze. ”

“Certainly the situation is returning unusually. · · ·. ”

“So get ready. When I get back, I'll be back with no problems. ”

Lute answered politely, "Yes, sir."

Now that the leader has said, it is the duty of the party to follow.

Moreover, there is the Spirit of Song Ga-yeon, so it is not completely disconnected.

If it's her spirit, it won't be difficult to connect her to Yoohyun entering the groundwater.

A spiritual master named Song Ga-yeon showed great value at this time.

But Lute, who was thinking for a moment, said,

”As soon as I gather the scattered group, I'll check the route to the maze. It's gonna be okay, right?"

Yoohyun nodded without hesitation.

Yoohyun tried to say it if he didn't say it.

“Then I beg you. ”

”Have a safe trip. ”

As if to take a pleasant walk, Lute waves his hand lightly.

* * *

As soon as he entered, Yoohyun had to frown his glands.

As soon as he entered the groundwater, the unpleasant mud grabbed Yoohyun's ankle. For a long time, rotten dirt, along with organic matter, held a fatty viscosity and was blocking intruders.

‘0 | Footprint. ’

However, these soils were not only bad.

Because of its viscosity, the footprint of Fernée, which is thought to be viscous, remains clear. There is also a trail of rats passing by, but there is only one human footprint in sight.

Since it was Ferné who entered here, it must be Ferné's footprint.

Are you sure you're gonna be okay on your own?

Next to him was the Spirit of Song Gyeong.

It was the Spirit of Wind and the Spirit of Fire that followed with a white light. Thanks to the Spirit of Fire, Yoohyun was able to gain sight even inside the dark groundwater. Two spirits assisted Yoohyun.

Wouldn't you rather take Lütra with you, too?

I'm worried about Song Ga-yeon. Not as usual.

“I don't know what's going to happen in front of me. Honestly, Lute is anxious. ”

That much?

“Yes, and I don't know what's going to happen out there, so I need someone to take command. ”

In that regard, Lute was trustworthy enough. I will cope well even in dizzy situations

Besides, there's Fercy. If it's an emergency, it will magically escape the emergency.

Since then, Song Gyeong-yeon has no longer thrown worrying little words.

Just relaying the situation outside calmly.

The group is now all together. I'm surprised that all the slums have turned into monsters.

· · · Because I think so, Yoohyun remembered Lee Seo-yeon.

Isn't this Lee Seo who was doing well with two slum kids?

Most of them turned into monsters, but I don't think they'll be okay.

“Is Seo-yeon okay? “

That's what · · · is.

Song Ga-yeon rarely hesitated to stop talking.

I thought that Yoohyun might be right in his imagination somehow.

It was called xenophobia, but it was young children at an early age. It's not pleasant to not be sad.

Kids you know are turning into monsters and they're very depressed. Besides, they're the kids who decided to help us, right? So it's especially unfortunate.

“I see. I need you to move up from the side. Seo-yeon liked kids."

Perhaps by now, two children who have turned into monsters have been defeated by adventurers.

The city is confused by the sudden raid, but the adventurers were on the move.

This was not a typical city. A maze city of thousands of adventurers.

Even if monsters are numerous and strong, it won't take long to suppress them.

If it's a problem for them, it's clearing things up before the damage gets bigger.

A little while later, countless city dwellers will die.

In fact, the number of deaths Yoohyun saw did not exceed 50.

“ "

Yoohyun stops his steps and glances at the Spirit.

Song Gyeonggin moved the spirit noticeably in response to Yoohyun's signal to explore the front.

The Spirit of Fire, which shakes like a doorbell, passes through the darkness and moves forward.

Soon the Spirit of Fire stopped, and Song Gyeong told me.

There's something up ahead. I think it's Fernay.

“That's it. I'll check it out. ”

Yes? But · · ·.

After hesitating, Yoohyun blew a black sword. The mage became a good lamp, shining like a cigar. Pulling the sword until it stops, the surroundings become thick.

It was so incomparable that Song Song Song was trampled through the Spirit of Fire.

She must be surprised by this little technology. Song Ga-yeon said with admiration.

That's how you use your sword.

“Not much of a recommendation, though. ”

This blackening was more magical than usual. Moreover, unforeseen events are also falling.

Yoohyun, who was moving forward, used the light of darkness to illuminate his surroundings.

Then it was visible. No, I'd say human.

Whether he heard a sound or found a light that was getting closer, he said hello first.

“Long time no see? Anyway, nice to meet you.”

It was still the same tone as Percy.

The bright tone that resonated like singing was cheerful enough to feel like an enemy. The first time I heard the sound of the song, I was surprised. She stood still in the middle of the ground water.

I think I've been waiting for this way. She waves her hand and greets Yoohyun.

The spirit remained silent, and Yoohyun pointed his sword at Perne without a word.

Fernée smiles as she sees naturally burning blackness.

“Stupid guy. I really didn't expect you to come all the way here. “

“I don't want to play tricks anymore. ”

The one who was hiding finally came out.

So you better move this way too.

It was time to narrow the distance to Ferné, who was melting in the darkness as much as possible.

Brother · · ·! No more approaches!

A sharp voice of a song conveyed through the Spirit of Wind.

“ ! “

Yoohyun's body had already been moving since before she warned.

Things that were hiding in the darkness of the underground water were running towards Yoohyun.

It's the same as the Demibeast who turned into a beast. Foresight is also surrounded by a purple crust. A complete monster.

Is that so? Was Ferné hidden in this place too?

The darkness dances. Monsters hiding in the darkness reach for Yoohyun.

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

That number is a dozen. This place has been in the cradle of monsters since the beginning.

Numerous Demibeasts turn into Beasts and rush to kill Yoohyun.

How many xenophobics are here?

Yoohyun twists his lips. It doesn't matter.

Stop killing them all. The blue magic power trapped in the sword exudes a strong presence in the darkness.

It was powerful enough to kick out all the darkness around it and .

"You better not try to deal with me with these toys. ”

The running monsters are radiant enough to go blind.

The sword moves. The goal is clear as to what the flesh is aiming for.

Yoohyun is trying to kill everything here .

The floor was ruptured just by taking a step to swing the sword.

The wave-like blue light cuts through the darkness and sweeps away the monsters that were hiding in it.

With the overwhelming power of the black and blue light drawn towards darkness, I cut everything.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR! '

The screams of monsters burst out in front of their noses as they flashed.

A flesh that is torn by blue light.

Red liquid spreads like it explodes in a torn flesh.

And the heavy silence dominated the surroundings.

Even in the darkness, the eyes of monsters that were glowing badly subsided at once.
