Usotsuki Senki, Meikyu wo Yuku

Episode 84: Tensei Hood

The more the labyrinth heads down, the fewer adventurers it will have.

The structure of the labyrinth makes demons stronger and harsher the more they dive downstairs, so naturally speaking. This is all the more so because there are hierarchical owners to sort out adventurers.

It tells the story of the harshness of the lower realm after the fifty levels that no advanced adventurer will greatly exceed a hundred even in the Wang capital.

The lower tier, seventy-six hierarchy, where there are limited things to step into that way.

In that hierarchy one step ahead of the deep, there was a party going on with cautious vigilance, on the back of the three girls who were moving vigorously through the fifty-first hierarchy.

The number of people is about ten. fierce that all of its personnel are above the senior middle. It was Kugz Hornet who was leading it.

They were on the run.

Their scandal spread to the King's capital, which was based there, on an irrevocable level. Kugutsu had dyed his hands in other vices for a showdown with Lyla. If closely investigated, the dust spreads. Before that happened, he hit the lead and ran away.

Abandoning his position as chief, he led the escape with only his stomach and heart knowing all the rest of the organization. In a way, it is probably because Kugutsu was able to immediately interrupt a choice that should also be called an English break. As a result, we are moving from the teleportation spot to the seventy-five hierarchy without a chaser, aiming at the seventy-seven hierarchy.

The labyrinth is united from the seventy-seven hierarchy. Conversely, if you go to the seventy-seven tiers, you will be able to get out to the entrance of every labyrinth that spreads around the world.

Of course, crossing the border using the labyrinth is strictly forbidden. That's why there's a receptionist checking in and out of the adventurer.

But there is a back way for everything. The Adventurer Alliance does not manage the entrance to all the labyrinths in this world. If you become a senior adventurer again, you'll get a lot of discount even if it's dark behind you. Kugutsu and other handouts in the Wang capital are secured.

That's why I ran away.

That was becoming a success. Seventy-seven hierarchies reached. From there, they find themselves uncomfortable when they try to go backwards somewhere appropriate.

The seventy-seven hierarchy has a one-floor structure. Much like the twenty, forty-four, fifty tiers. If I were to mention the difference, it would mean that one tree, a blue tree, is growing.

The tree had red fruit.

"The truth is…………………?

It was some labyrinth legend that crossed their brains.

Rumors of hierarchical lords in seventy-seven hierarchies. Seventy-seven hierarchies emerge conditions whispered by the fact that there are adventurers who step into the hierarchy and sometimes do not return. And one of them was that when the trees of the seventy-seven hierarchy were bearing fruit, the LORD of the seventy-seven hierarchy appeared.

A lukewarm chill runs on everyone's spine on the spot.

I rushed to the entrance and exit, but the door where Sephiroto's writing had already been engraved had already been closed. There's nothing they can do. They're informed. We were captured by the seventy-seven hierarchical lords.

The only thing that went beyond seventy-seven hierarchical lords was the great hero Iason. Even that Lyra and Doha have not seen seventy-seven hierarchical lords.

Being experienced adventurers, they instantly move to vigilance. Form a formation around Kugutsu to resist and defeat whatever appears. That was a brilliant degree of skill, assuming only adventurers were stepping deep into it.

But there was no falsehood in the prestige of the seventy-seven hierarchical trials that there was only one person.

"Do you know what kind of tree this is?

Speaking up, they blinked Kyoton and then stunned.

And there stood a man, so that it might be brought to the trunk of the tree, which was growing in the seventy-seven hierarchy.

"This is the tree of this world. The world that might have once been here is coming to fruition. The fruit of wisdom, the forbidden fruit...... well, whatever you call it. The true history of this world, the fruitful tree of information that should have happened, which only the apple can see, is packed with knowledge (daato)"

Good afternoon, and a gentle tap on the trunk with his fist to continue the explanation was the man who also saw the Kugz.

The person was there in the first place. I guess that's why Kugutsu and the others stood in the trunk before they came into the seventy-seven hierarchy. Of course, they had seen the man as soon as they entered the seventy-seven hierarchy. The large body, the facade that gave birth to the inert beard, the pair of double knives on his hips, and the sword on his back were all in his eyes.

However, they were still unaware that they were there until they could speak up.

"It is this fruit that fed the colossus during his exhortation to The Path of Glory (Greelia Road). The seventy-seven layers are the test of competing consciousness with oneself, who might have eaten this fruit. A sieve (sieve) to transcend the spirit. In that way, if you know the truth about one more world, you can still fight through it. That's the trials of the seventy-seven levels."

Stunning, stunned, stunned. Not the wind that cared about their awe deepening with an understanding of the situation, but the man wakes himself up that had been brought to the trunk.

Disparities in strength even if no is notified in response. Slowly the sickle of the reaper seemed to accompany their neck muscles.

"Hey, Kugz. Long time no see, huh? Are you in the mood?

"You are……"

Kugutsu loses his voice to the person he sees.

"Why are you here, Krull……………………"

"Why? Why and everything? I told you when I first introduced myself. I'm the Lord of the Seventy-Seven Hierarchies."

A man lurking in the king's capital under the obvious pseudonym Krull.

For some reason, a man waiting for the Kugz and the others on the seventy-seventh level leaks a sneer.

"And you lost brilliantly. When you started to peruse yourself, you laughed at me, didn't you?

What, and the members faint, but they can't stop laughing at Kugzu.

"Even when you lose, it's ugly how talented your qualities are. That's everything, or there's only one, the kid often makes the mistake of doing it. If you can't stand losing, you should have given up. I wish I had built up my little daily happiness and misfortune and left myself in boredom and peace. You can live with human beings."

"Shut up......"

Kugutsu held his fist and let him tremble at the sight of Reaper as if he had been waiting for himself at the bottom of the earth, but he couldn't argue with a word.

The more brutally, that was true.

"Oh? What is it, if you have something to say, spit it out?"

"I didn't even like it and this happened... it wasn't supposed to happen... yes! This wasn't supposed to happen! I should have been more... more different!

"Wasn't this supposed to happen? Ha. This is a masterpiece. You're like this, you can't help it.... Shall I tell you your fate, which is fruitful here? You're supposed to be jealous of Corona's lady, not Lila Toja, and try to fall in with a sense of crisis. And I was supposed to walk the fate of failing and falling."

"Shut up. Why should a man like you say that to someone who might be who you are...! I don't know. What do you know about it?

"You're out of your mind not to know who you are. I'm not gonna throw up a lie that doesn't make sense, and I told you who I am, didn't I?

Too lightly, he trumps Kugutsu's words.

"I told you. You should know my name, too. No. There's only one continent in this world, this tiny finite world with ends on the horizon that doesn't even enclose the infinite concept of space, and there's not supposed to be any more people in this spherical limit world that don't know my name, even set the upper limit of history!!

"Stupid."

A member of Kugutsu's circle can be wolfed by the man's words. They know. I feel it. He fought once and is informed of the strength of the man in front of him.

But still, it's not believable.

"There's no way... that was three hundred years ago... it's impossible, there's no way! There is no way you are that Krook Looper!!

"Believe it or not, I'm on my own. Yeah, you're not the only one. That's all they'll ever know. I don't force others to live the way I live. Always live like this... and I'll kill you."

Speak selfish words and laugh at them.

Kugutsu shrugged his face and dazzled the man who named Krook Looper.

"... eh. Well, I don't care if you're a crook looper."

Even if you were a seventy-seven hierarchical lord, even if you were a legendary figure, you no longer doubt that.

I don't know what's wrong with this guy, but it's true that he's standing right in front of me.

"Why did the scoundrel who hacked you three hundred years ago look at you now? Why were you doing such a clever imitation? Besides, you think he's the hierarchical master of the seventy-seven hierarchies? I don't know why. I don't understand your position or what you've been doing. Who are you... Krook Looper!?

"... Ha ha ha. Who is Krook Looper? That's a pretty good question."

What touched the harp line, he nods like he's impressed for the first time.

"Right. I'll tell you one thing. The only reason I look at you now is because it's time for this world to end."

"What?"

What are you talking about?

The world will perish. The man in front of me, however, spoke such unrealistic language with the utmost seriousness.

"Oh. The history of this world has been capped. All you have to do is fall and crumble."

"What are you talking about? You think you're going to destroy the world………?

"Ha? Ha, ha!

I don't understand the situation. Kugtsu's questioning seemed out of focus. The man laughs like he heard something strange.

"That I will destroy the world!? Don't be silly! Does it look like I can do something that big? With such a tiny body, with only such a small weapon, there's no way I can destroy the world!? I don't know. I can only kill you guys now!

"... why. Everything you're doing is a mess! Whose side are you on and whose enemy are you! Why do I have to be killed by you?

"Why, because, that's silly. In the first place. Wow, if you did something wrong, you deserve to be rewarded. Don't you have an ethic? You can't mess with the friendship of the girls you want and not hit the bees."

That's everyone's preferred logic of good and evil. It was spectacularly twisted to speak of the loving logic of praising the righteous allies who frustrate evil, more so.

Even so, he often tells Kugutsu.

"Hey, you tore up the friendship of the girls for nothing and tried to make them fight each other, didn't you? Did you seriously think that you wouldn't be punished for doing such a bad thing? That can't be true. In this world of prize punishment, there is no way that such a logic can pass. Even if Heaven misses your evil deeds, I won't let you. If the evil bastards don't get heavenly punishments, I'll kill them all. Hey! You know why!?

There's no way I know.

If the man in front of you is a real crook looper, it is the evil that must be tried the most in history.

But Kugutsu understands one mistake in the words and deeds of the man who screwed him over.

"Is that so…… you…"

"You can fool or kill people, make them compete with each other's memories, do whatever you want, and do what you want. It dawns in the dark - I'm the only one who can do such fun things!!

"- You're crazy, you lunatic!

It was the limit. I didn't want to have another word with a guy like this. One shout, Kugutsu threads.

Signal it, everyone moves out. The seventy-seven hierarchies are closed. It was decided from the time I stepped foot on this floor that I would no longer have to defeat the man in front of me. That's why, even if they know the difference in strength, they resolutely wave their weapons to seize the winning chance that should be only a few.

The next moment, Kugutsu's people died.

If he thought one neck had flown, he was torn in the stomach and broken his spine, his throat pierced and his heart broken.

No one, no one, could cross the blade. I just had to be stunned by the sight of being unilaterally ravaged.

Half the time I was flying, I was a senior adventurer. The samurai of practice who are also at the top of the list in this world. The enclosure collapsed in an instant and died.

"What do you mean I'm crazy? No, there's something wrong with this world. It's so crazy that mankind can't forgive it. So I don't care what's right or wrong anymore."

One madman is in the middle of a body that was instantly killed without a bum and a scream.

Pull yourself out, blade. I didn't even touch the sword I was carrying on my back, and what I pulled out were two double knives hanging on my hips. It's a weapon that Kugutsu has never seen before.

Kill ghosts, too, cat claws.

Probably the most famous pair of blades in the world. A blade crossing that curves on a thin blade that specializes in cutting. It's Krook Looper's double knife that slashed and tore many of the world apart.

But if so, what the hell is the great sword you carried on your back? Kugutsu, while confused by fear, thinks so. I don't hear that Krook Looper was using the Great Sword. So does a man named Krook Looper bear a great sword he won't even use?

In a situation lacking tips, Kugutsu can't give the answer.

The man who instantly cut and killed nine people mourns, oh, looking up to heaven.

"But it's Kugutsu. You'll do nothing against your people. How dare you fight me like I ordered you to die like that? Kugzu, you're a real hick."

A madman hanging out of his unplugged body without a sound slowly approached Kugutsu.

"I feel sorry for you. Anyway, if you're a stranger. Aren't the people who are now dead loyal to you? Even if I knew what you did, you weren't one of those people who followed you. Come on, I can't believe I'm using that on a throwaway pawn to stretch your life span by just a few dozen seconds... you're a terrible guy, Kugz"

Less so, something hit me with Putung and Kugutsu's head.

It was also in Kugutsu.

There was indeed a sense of companionship towards our fellow countrymen, who had suffered together and dived through the dead line together.

"I'm kidding. Awwwwwwww!

My neck is broken.

"Eh?"

When did you wave that blade?

Blood erupts from the deep carved wound on Kugutsu's neck.

For one thing, Kugutsu suppresses his neck and treats him. Exercise adventurer card functionality. Healing by consuming EXP. Unless it is instant death, as long as it is conscious, it promises to recover as much as the accumulated experience allows.

"Ha ha. That's a good feature, isn't it? The grace of the great cosmic tree, the Sephiroto system."

"What the hell... are you... who the hell are you!

Even during the battle of the lils, there was no such thing as not seeing movement.

An impossibly skilled man who specializes in killing people. The way Kugutsu talks to Pompong about words he doesn't understand from the concept. I see, I was reminded that this guy is indeed a crook looper and seventy-seven hierarchical lord.

How could a guy like that show up in front of himself?

"What are you! What are you doing crawling up from the abyss of hell and wandering off the ground, you deceased!!

"I'm Krook Looper. I swore the evil of mankind at the bottom of the earth, just scum."

If he is unwilling to respond any further, he tells him otherwise.

"It's a midway souvenir. I'll show you."

Kakun, and Kugutsu's knee fell.

Why, it's easy to look down. The blade of Kruk Looper, who sifted unconstructively, cut through Kugutsu's belly in half.

It also makes sense that you can't support your body if your belly is cut off by half. Collapsed Kugutsu looks up at Kruk Looper without the art of doing so.

They swung up one crack of a double knife. There was an ideal.

"Heavenly View -"

From the cuttoe that showed heaven to the toe that steps into the earth, there is not a minute of discrepancy from the ideal that 10,000 people envision. Use the weapon as an extension of your arm, on a part of your body. The power that was worked out as if breathing was flowing through his body without starvation. And the armor, it's great. If it's not steel, it's not silver. The glow of metal that Kugutsu sees for the first time makes it known to everything he sees as one supreme weapon. The sights they combine are more sophisticated than a single famous painting, and they move more smoothly than flowing water, unlike a painting that captures a moment.

Beautiful.

Forgetting to breathe, Kugutsu saw it as the ultimate in martial arts.

"- Cut the helmet."

I felt the blade swinging down into my head slowly.

Tsupuri, and the blade enters his head. The blade, which rips the skin without any resistance, breaks the bone so that it can pass through even in water, enters the brain and splits it into two parts beautifully. That's how my head gets cracked, Kugutsu even accepted it as part of the art.

Kugutsu was desperate, keeping his eye on the moves.

"Ha ha... it's Kugutsu. You were a good one. I think so. Before the battle of Lildor's ladies, you even gave me my name. It's great."

To him, who became two corpses, Krook Looper sends another word.

"You were a really good puppet."

With his double-knife in his sheath, Krook Looper took off every sheath of the great sword he was carrying.

This item has been decorated on my back. It is one dish that we used to walk together to the depths of this labyrinth, but if we were to fight just for real, it would only be a little out of the way.

I don't even use it anyway, so there's so much to keep carrying on.

"Sorry, buddy. Wait here. If it's this place of memories, well, you're not complaining, are you?

Speaking to what, Krook Looper, with the Great Sword in his trunk, smiles like him. And just a little lighter, he slowly walked out.

Come on, let's go.

I don't hate waiting.

But he was always on his way to the enemy. So much so that he became his own enemy already, the one he waited for grew. That's what they accomplished, so much so that they were called heroes and praised.

Then it's worth it.

"Remind the forgetful kids of us."

Laughing at the stupidity of humanity that even weathers fear, Krook Looper walks out.
