Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 484

“Whoa.”
Indy Jones’ Dungeon.
Labyrinth took a deep breath while soaking in the deepest pond on the 100th floor.
One of the facilities in the dungeon, 『The Pond of Life』, is a place that instantly heals most wounds just by soaking with the main raw material of the elixir.
It was a valuable shelter for players.
However, even after staying in such a 『Pond of Life』 for several hours, he was still groaning in pain.
It’s because Charlotte’s injuries were so severe.
It’s fortunate that he reached level 100 and gained a life force that transcends humans by using 『Constellation Descent』.
If it wasn’t for that, it wouldn’t be strange if he had died long ago.
[Keep the labyrinth promise…]
While I was concentrating on resting like that.
Labyrinth opened her eyes at the voice she heard from the ring.
“I told you that if it’s Seven Arks, I’ll return it as soon as it’s returned.”
[…]
“Why? Do you think I’ll go back and say something else?”
[No, I’m afraid you’ll lose the Seven Arks while wandering around there like an idiot…]
“You!”
with a splash!
Rising from the pond of life, Labyrinth glared at the ring with devouring eyes.
But that’s all.
Labyrinth swallowed back the curse.
Because I can’t speak bad words to the life saver?
Unfortunately, if I had such a conscience, I wouldn’t have become the specter of the Liberation Brigade.
Still, there was one reason why he swallowed his words.
It was because he felt the overwhelming power gap with Wanderer.
‘I never thought Wanderer would be this strong.’
Of course, he had tried to test Wanderer with other ghosts before, but was defeated.
However, now that he is level 100.
Besides, he thought that he could compete with Wanderers as well as magicians in dungeons, as he had also
obtained the Seven Arcs. hey
Why did the magician willingly give up his rank?
I had no choice but to know.
I didn’t know if it was normal.
Unlike himself, who has just reached level 100, Wanderer has reached the realm of the absolute a long time ago.
Especially since that skill was fraudulent enough to be called a cheat.
However, it is something that cannot be tailed here.
Labyrinth gritted her teeth and objected as calmly as possible.
“The reason I’m wandering here in the first place is because you missed the Golden Dragon Princess.”
[…The one in front of me is you who asked me to save you, so you’re the one who missed the golden dragon princess.]
“It’s noisy! Anyway, I’m going back after catching the golden dragon princess, so don’t interfere and just watch!”
In any case, the person in charge of this operation is himself.
So don’t give orders.
After hearing Labyrinth’s sharp words, Wanderer opened his mouth after a long silence.
[…Well then, do whatever you want.]
[Instead, keep in mind that the Seven Arcs are mine.]
[If you make a stupid mistake and lose them, I’ll make you regret it even after you die…]
Pop.
It seems that the words are over.
voice cut off.
“Does this damn bitch dare to threaten me?”
Labyrinth gnashed his teeth at Wanderer’s attitude of treating his life as a coin in his pocket.
In fact, he knew that it was too dangerous to remain here.
But I couldn’t help it.
Since he decided to give the Seven Arks he had obtained to Wanderer in exchange for his life, he needed to make a contribution by catching even the Golden Dragon Princess.
That’s why Labyrinth couldn’t help but be more indignant.
At that time, Princess Geumryong was already mortally wounded.
I just had to hold onto it.
By the way…
“To miss the golden dragon princess because of that damn chicken!”
A blue bird pops out of nowhere.
After holding onto the fallen Golden Dragon Princess and disappearing beyond space.
Labyrinth gritted her teeth as she recalled the devastated experience of being like a dog chasing chickens.
Only one person was allowed to enter the 100th floor, but I couldn’t imagine being disturbed by a blue bird like that.
It was absurd.
Including the fact that the location of the blue bird and the golden dragon princess could not be known even if they used the dungeon system.
However, he would not have been able to escape to the outside of the dungeon by moving in space.
And as long as you’re inside the dungeon.
Princess Geumryong was already like a rat in a poison.
That’s why Labyrinth laughed fiercely while manipulating the dungeon management window.
“Wait and see, Princess Gold Dragon. I will definitely catch you and fry the chicken and make it into fried chicken!”

“Ugh, I get chills…”
Inside the half-collapsed ruins.
A half-human, half-bird woman was looking outside with her head sticking out from one side.
Yuna-kyung shuddered.
Then she turned to Charlotte, who was sitting with her back against the wall.
“How are you, rich sister?”
“…Hung, getting help from hunting hawks and even worrying about it. I guess I look pretty shallow too.”
“It’s nice to see you being able to say that.”
Pale, bloodless complexion.
A cold sweat dripped from my forehead.
Crucially, from the left shoulder to the bloody bandage wrapped around the chest.
Yuna-kyung sighed as she saw Charlotte, who was always haughty and elegant, but couldn’t hide her exhausted look unlike usual.
At least it’s better now.
After being mortally wounded and rescuing something from being captured alive.
After Yonghwa was released, she was unable to move and had to run away with Yuna-kyung on her back.
Of course, even now, only the bleeding has barely stopped.
Even if his mouth was torn, he couldn’t say that he was in good condition.
That is why Yuna Na-gyeong made an apologetic expression.
“sorry. If I had studied healing magic a bit more, I would have been able to heal more properly than now.”
“You are arrogantly arrogant.”
“yes?”
“It means you have no reason to feel sorry for me if you didn’t do everything perfectly.”
Charlotte snorted slightly.
Just by saving her in the midst of the tension, Yuna-kyung has done her part well enough.
Besides, her injuries were fatal, even if they were a little deeper, they would have cut her heart.
It was thanks to Yuna-kyung’s healing magic that she was already able to move after suffering such a wound.
Even in a maze-like ruin city, the experience as a player runs away and uses magic to evade tracking.
No matter how arrogant Charlotte was…
no, she couldn’t blame Yuna-kyung for lacking more.
“If I had to say it, I am responsible for the situation.”
“I don’t think a rich sister would even blame herself… Honestly, who would have known that something like that would come out of nowhere?”
Charlotte’s power, crushing thousands of boss monsters like insects, is absolutely absolute.
Even Yuna-kyung, who had seen the embracing princess several times, couldn’t help but be astonished.
To the extent that it felt natural, not arrogant, to enter the 100th floor of the dungeon alone to capture the remnants of the Liberation Brigade.
…It was just that the existence that cut her was not natural.
“I had to know.”
Such Yuna-kyung’s words.
Charlotte coldly denied it.
Even if no one expected it, you should have expected it yourself.
It was not forced out of natural arrogance.
Because she had a chance to notice his presence.
“The fact that the Rockefeller clan risked their lives and even their pride to tell me.”
The head of the Rockefeller family, noticing the diversion of the Liberation Brigade in Las Vegas, went to protect the secret bank, but was annihilated along with the armed forces under his command.
At that time, his armed forces were annihilated while fleeing in all directions.
Not like the arrogant Golden Dragon clan.
I didn’t think much of it at the time, but…
that was a mistake.
Why did the Rockefeller family give up the fight, when with the sabers, they could at least kill time against the absolute class?
And what was the truth he was trying to convey by making all his subordinates run away?
If you thought about it a little deeper.
would have known
One reason to make Rockefeller act like that.
That it was because he predicted that if he did not inform him of his existence, Charlotte’s life would be in danger.
if you noticed that.
So if you moved with the Hwangryongdae.
At least, if I hadn’t been vigilant at the end.
Even if he couldn’t win, he would have been able to pull himself out with difficulty.
However, Charlotte, blinded by arrogance, did not expect his existence.
The result is this.
It was the current situation in which he was fatally wounded in vain due to the overlap of the reaction and agitation immediately after using the Ten Seasons without hesitation.
So it’s all your fault.
Yuna-kyung stuttered as she watched Charlotte speak self-deprecatingly, unlike the always arrogant girl.
“Um. You still have a chance to correct your mistakes, so cheer up. If you hold out here a little longer, the team leader will definitely come to save you.”
“Did you mean to blame my mistake on the swordsman?”
“Rather than passing it on… Ah! Isn’t it natural for a hound to come to the rescue when its owner is in danger?”
“…I’m not saying it’s wrong.”
It seems to have regained a bit of energy.
Watching Charlotte snort as usual, Yuna-kyung put on a relieved expression.
That is, until Charlotte adds one more word.
“But that seems difficult.”
“What is difficult?”
“I mean, just hold on a little longer.”
Charlotte turned her head.
Then, looking back at one side of the stone-broken aisle, he languidly continued his conversation.
“After all, it seems like the game of hide and seek is over.”
“…?”
sasa sasa sasa.
Before I even asked what that meant.
Yuna-kyung hardened.
Shortly after she heard something creepy from the other side of the aisle that Charlotte was looking at.
It was because black waves flowed through the cracks in the collapsed passage.
No it wasn’t a wave.
Its identity is a worm.
From hell ants to petrified bee bomb spiders and more.
It was just that tens of millions of bug-type monsters that were smaller than a finger and yet deadly were pouring in.
“Rich sister run away…!”
“They are coming from the other side too.”
“You should have told me that sooner!”
Yuna-kyung was frustrated.
Maybe Labyrinth was playing tricks.
Space movement is already blocked.
Besides, it seems like he won’t miss a single feather.
It was impossible to hide or run away from the insects that filled the passage, at least with the magic she knew.
“AkrO ckAtObA!”
Quarreung!
However, it is impossible to be eaten by insects like this.
As Yuna-gyeong, who had plucked her white hair from her feathers, cast a spell, a wall rose from the front and rear to block the swarm of insects.
But that’s only for a moment.
Small but vicious, high-level bug monsters gnawed through the walls in an instant.
No matter how many times she uses magic to block and sweep them away, Yuna-kyung puts on a despairing expression as she sees the bug monsters constantly springing up and swarming.
The moment Charlotte was about to raise her psionics despite her injuries.
[A Mann Ta.]
A single hollow voice rang out.
red light flashes
The swarming bugs wandered about as if possessed by something, then started biting and fighting each other.
what happened all of a sudden
Yuna-kyung, who was confused, immediately put on a bright expression.
It was because I saw the ghost of a translucent girl poking out from the side wall, waving a hand with a blank face.
“Shera!”
The advance party sent by Limon first.
Of course, since it is a ghost, it is free to limit the number of people.
It was the moment when the rescue team with the power of the absolute class finally joined the rescued people.
