Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 203
Chapter 203,
Lydia, the youngest son of the magic family, asked.
“Larsen. Are we making a bet?”
“uh.”
“That guy is a real explorer. “Can you win?”
“I have to win.”
The gods made a bet. If you overcome it, you will be able to receive their help as well.
Attracting neutral gods. In other words, it would also be reducing Keisa’s reserve power.
Drayden said.
“one. two. three. “If you do that, you’re ready to go.”
“great.”
“one.”
Drayden looked at Larsen.
‘Which way should I go?’
I have already experienced Larsen’s speed. I’ll show you some ridiculous moves.
The dark zone hides some secrets. The closest route to the exit changes depending on which direction the first people entering are heading.
“two.”
Drayden, who knew that fact, thought it was his unconditional victory.
“three.”
Larsen moved first.
gloom. A place with shadows. I pushed my foot into the dark area. Drayden unconsciously looked in the direction where Larsen had disappeared.
“Kek.”
There are a total of 18 paths into the dark zone. There are 18 forks in the road that branch out into an almost infinite number of paths. In the end, you end up lost and wandering.
“After all, this is the path guarded by Garbigol, the ghost gatekeeper…?”
Should I say something?
That place is a place that no explorer has ever explored. Even his teacher had told him to unconditionally avoid the path guarded by Garbigol.
Historically, no one has ever passed through that place.
“You won’t die… right?”
There was no desire to lose a talent like Larsen. I know the fastest way.
‘left side. 25 degree direction.’
You have to head that way. Then, you will be able to reach the entrance to the lava valley faster than Lassen.
‘That’s true, but…’
Damn it.
‘I have to win the bet…’
Damn.
‘Why do you have to go there…!’
Of the 18 forks in the road, why should I just go there?
You cannot pass through the ghost gate. If you persist, you will be killed by the ghost gatekeeper.
‘damn.’
I decided to chase after him. Although there is nothing to be seen, Larsen’s body odor remains.
However, Larsen’s mana had a very weak smell. This was because no one characteristic stood out.
‘Is that girl’s name Lydia?’
Fortunately, Lydia was a powerful fire mage, and the smell of fire clearly remained.
‘It would be better to follow Lydia’s scent than Prince Lassen.’
I started chasing Larsen, aiming for Lydia. He didn’t want Larsen dead.
* * *
The guiding power even showed the appropriate speed. At what speed should you move? What direction should I go in? Everything was drilled into Larsen’s head. The first target is Alchemist Popona’s house.
As I was walking towards there, I bumped into something.
Kikikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I felt something rusty moving
.
Lydia said.
“Larsen. “I think there’s something up ahead?”
However, Larsen did not hear Lydia’s words properly.
“#^$^%&*#$#%[email protected]!#$.”
Communication was impossible within the dark zone. The words weren’t conveyed properly. Even Lydia herself did not understand what she said.
What can I say? It felt like the mouth that spoke, the ears that received what I was saying, and the brain that processed that information were all playing separately. It was a strange feeling. Lydia unconsciously covered her mouth.
Lydia became somewhat scared.
“Larsen. “You can’t let me go.”
Lydia held Larsen’s hand tightly with one hand. Larsen also held Lydia’s hand.
She says she has the power to guide, but Lydia is different. Getting lost meant death.
But then I heard a voice.
“Who are you?”
Lydia’s voice was distorted and sounded strange. However, the current voice conveyed the meaning clearly. Larsen answered.
“I am an explorer heading to the lava valley.”
Of course, Larsen’s words were not conveyed properly. It was conveyed strangely.
“My name is Garbigol. He is the guardian of the fourth fork in the dark area. You will never be able to pass through the fourth fork in the dark area.”
Instant swish! Something passed. Larsen felt cold.
‘knife?’
It seemed like a knife. It passed Larsen’s forehead. I felt a trickle of blood flowing down.
‘My wit is sharp.’
A dark area in the great forest.
He was said to be the gatekeeper guarding this place, and his skills seemed formidable.
Larsen took a few steps back while holding Lydia’s hand. Then the surroundings became quiet.
‘I think it’s okay as long as you don’t approach beyond a certain radius.’
I checked the guiding power again.
A red arrow appeared. This is the place where you were just attacked. The guiding power kept telling me to go through this place.
‘I barely felt the attack. It barely exists. But how are you supposed to pass by?’
Like before, you can’t break down walls and you can’t move using speed. I have already experienced the horror of that blade once.
Garbigol is fast. Using your speed, you will be able to cut down a moving figure.
‘Did I believe too much in the power of guidance?’
I had no idea what to do. First of all, I couldn’t even feel the other person.
‘I need to take him down.’
How do you defeat an opponent you can’t feel? The only time you can feel the presence of a blade is when it approaches your nose.
‘You can’t take him down.’
It’s too disadvantageous. However, there is no other way to find it. The guiding power still points in only one direction.
Larsen decided to try hitting it a few more times. I almost got my head cut off several times. After several attempts, Larsen figured it out.
Although the attack was powerful, its trajectory was simple.
‘forehead. Or it attacks the neck.’
The odds are half and half. Garbigol, the ghost gatekeeper, had a habit of attacking only one of the two. That’s the opportunity. I decided to try it one more time.
I opened the sub-space and held the ‘black spatula’ in my hand. Before leaving for the Great Forest, Ralphon lent it to me.
No matter how powerful Garbigol’s attack was, it seemed like the black spatula could handle its sharpness.
‘Goes.’
He approached Garbigol.
‘forehead!’
This time, instead of dodging, I actually narrowed the distance.
Jang!
A loud sound erupted.
‘Oof!’
I felt like my head was pounding. At that moment, I felt sick and almost threw up.
As expected, Larsen is now covered in a black pot. Anyway, whether you wear it upside down or not, the fact that you can’t see the front is the same. So, instead of a helmet, he wore a ‘black pot’.
Gargoville’s sword and the black jar collided, creating a huge shock wave. Larsen had to endure the pain of his ears popping.
‘Is this the body?’
He swung the ‘black spatula’ towards the body. I felt nothing on the black spatula.
Huh-huh-huh-a black spatula split the air. Larsen hastily retrieved the black spatula and pulled back. He came back and held Lydia’s hand.
Meanwhile, Drayden, the explorer who followed Larsen, also heard the sound just now.
‘What was that sound just now?’
The feeling of metal colliding with metal. But it was a sound I had never heard before.
Explorers are also sensitive to sound. Just by hearing the sound of grass bugs crawling, you can roughly tell which grass bug is heading where and for what purpose. But the sound just now was completely unfamiliar.
I don’t know what substances collided with each other.
‘Did they fight?’
Did Larsen and Garbigol fight?
‘There was not a single explorer who fought Garbigol and came back alive.’
Explorers are like that. But what about Larsen? Not an explorer. I’m just good at exploring.
After that, I cried again and again! Quang-! A voice was heard. It sounded like a destructive bell.
I felt like I was fighting Garbigol as I repeatedly opened and closed the distance.
‘What on earth are you going to do?’
I approached Larsen.
“^#$%@$^@%#^&(This road is dangerous.)”
The meaning was not conveyed. Larsen almost crushed Drayden’s head. Because I thought they were enemies.
“%@^@#%^&(Drayden?)”
Although they could not communicate with each other, they confirmed each other’s existence. Larsen realized that Drayden had followed him.
“%[email protected]#^@@&?(Did you know about the ghost gatekeeper?)” “
%@%$&^@%$&(I don’t know what he’s saying.)” I
decided to give up on communication. However, Drayden grabbed Larsen’s wrist and pulled him to one side.
I roughly understood it. I’ll show you another route, so let’s go there. Now is not the time to be stubborn.
Drayden pounded his chest in frustration. You shouldn’t go down this road. You can’t face Garbigol. It’s right to give up.
“%@^&@%$&^$#*&(This is a road that has never been taken before!)”
“^#$&*^%$#!$#% (Please faint for a moment.)”
Larsen This hit Drayden on the back of the neck. Drayden sat down helplessly and fainted.
Larsen headed to the place where the gatekeeper was once again wearing a black jar.
And he brought up the reason why this work had been repeated so far.
[Transcendent magic. ‘Dark travel’ is used.]
Water travel.
Wind travel.
The two transcendental magics had already been learned. Water and wind were one attribute and mana. The same goes for the darkness of the dark zone.
An energy that drives humans crazy that does not exist in the natural field. This energy was also an attribute. Just like fire, water and wind.
‘Some of my senses… came back to life.’
It was very subtle, but I felt it. This was enough for Larsen.
‘Garbigol, the ghost gatekeeper.’
I also realized the identity of Garbigol. He has no substance. This ‘sword’ that is attacking him is itself Garbigol.
I could feel it through the black pot as I was attacked by it several times. Although subtle, the intensity of the attack gradually weakened. It’s as if you are sick.
I noticed it there. The ‘sword’ is Garbigol.
Garbigol and the black jar collided.
Damn it!
The black jar was already in bad condition when it trapped the magic stone and exploded it. It eventually broke.
Larsen did not miss the opportunity. He swung the black spatula vigorously.
[Use the transcendental magic ‘Swift.’]
Faster.
The destructive power is proportional to the square of the speed. Cha Seong-min, a modern man, knows that well.
He swung a black spatula. Although I am not familiar with the weapon, I have seen Ralphon wield it many times. It is said that Pungwol is recited every three years of Seodanggae. I was able to imitate.
A few minutes later.
Drayden opened his eyes.
“Hmm….”
Where am I? I think I fainted. It seems a bit hot.
I saw someone. That far ahead. Larsen was sitting cross-legged. Lydia was guarding next to him.
‘Why do you see it?’
Are you dreaming? I was definitely in a dark place. It shouldn’t be visible.
I closed my eyes for a moment and then opened them. I couldn’t believe it and rubbed my eyes.
“You escaped… from the dark zone?”
Unbelievably, it was the entrance to a lava valley.
What is absurd is that Larsen is currently practicing meditation while sitting cross-legged. In the middle of the Great Red Forest.
at that time.
Larsen’s Cheonan has been activated. Two gods. The meaning of Anuas and Rubinua has been interpreted.
[God of truth and exploration. Anuas admits losing the bet.]
[Rubinua, the god of gambling and probability, admits losing the bet.]
Twinkling light began to leak from the contract within Larsen’s subspace.
[Anuas and Rubinua ask together.] The
two gods who promised to stand on the Creator’s side asked Larsen directly.
[What do you need?]
[Please answer with your voice, Mr. Creator.]
