301 Fire Evil Spirit (5)

“Byon! I only watched it from behind, but it was still a fun exploration! See you later if you have a chance!”

“… … okay.”

After a brief farewell, the group of Carltons stepped out of the rift. So now it’s our turn to focus on what we need to do.

“Come on, let’s go. You don’t know what else there is!”

“… … Are you planning on wandering around and looking for it?”

No, I was going to pretend to just wander around and find what I wanted.

“Follow me. There are a few things I know.”

Oh, then.

Following the experienced Amelia, I left the boss room and moved in the reverse order.

And I found two hidden elements.

‘Shards of the Earth’ that increases Earth Resistance and Physical Resistance by 1.

A ‘Book of Souls’ that gives 3 additional experience points.

For reference, I ate all of Amelia since she had come here before, and with that, the exploration of the Hidden Peace of the White Temple was over.

Yep, this was all the elixirs were.

For the rest, you have to use the ‘distortion’ magic, but you can take it out and sell it.

‘Then I’ve got everything I need… … .’

“Amelia, why don’t you leave immediately and leave after a while?”

“why?”

“To be honest, I was tired because I slept for three hours every day. Why don’t you just take a deep breath here?”

“… … .”

At my suggestion, Amelia looked at me with some dissatisfaction.

It was obvious what he was thinking.

A lot of time has passed and the labyrinth will be closed tomorrow, so should I take a break now?

‘tt, I’ve already achieved my goal, but I don’t know why I’m so greedy.’

But whining isn’t my style, so I gave a reasonable reason to take a break.

“My head is complicated, so it will take some time.”

“ah… … .”

Amelia made an expression of realization at that moment, and immediately accepted my request without any regrets.

“good night. Then I’ll take a break and leave, so tell me whenever you’re ready.”

No matter this or that, I have a warm heart in this way.

“Thank you, Amelia.”

“… … Get some rest.”

Soon Amelia took out her sleeping bag and lay down on the floor, and I took a seat about 3m away from Amelia.

And the clean-up began in earnest.

‘Let’s see… … .’

The experience gained from the first treatment in the White Temple was 156.

And the top mutant kill bonus 1 plus the guardian kill bonus 3 plus the soul each other 3 for a total of 163.

Of course, even if you add this, you still have a long way to go until level 7.

However… … .

‘Hopefully, I’ll shoot up to level 7 in the mid-to-late 6th floor.’

It cannot be denied that the character is getting closer to completion.

This time I ate a Demon Grinder too.

‘How am I supposed to take this? … .’

That was the time I was thinking.

“Yandel, I have a question for you.”

“ah! You mean that numbered item? Me and I don’t know what it is, but first of all, I like the weight, so I’m going to use it—”

“It’s not that, that’s another question.”

uh, isn’t it?

I was worried about what to do if I asked for N bread.

“you… Do you not want to change?”

“What do you mean?”

“Yandel Jarku, your biological father.”

Ah, that… … .

Well, I wasn’t thinking about it as much as possible on purpose.

“Maybe it can be saved.”

“Other than that he died when he was young, for whatever reason or when he died, I don’t know how did he survive?”

“If you want, I can also go up to the city and help you after I’m done here—”

“done.”

I cut Amelia’s words and spoke firmly.

“That’s not what I want.”

“… … why?”

Amelia asked as if genuinely curious.

Well, from his point of view, I must have looked strange.

‘Cause I don’t know I’m a demon

and… … .

“If it was only going to change to something like that, it would have also changed to what we met here.”

The future does not change.

Of course, Amelia must have felt that fact to some extent.

Hana, after hearing the confirmation from Auril Gavis, and confirming the causality of Raven and Dwalky, the weight must be different from mine.

“It doesn’t change? What does that mean?”

Amelia jumped up and asked.

After thinking for a while, I said honestly.

About trying to change the future of Dwalkie and Raven, but all failed.

“No way… … .”

When Amelia heard my story, she bit her lip to deny it, and I just asked softly.

“Amelia, didn’t you even vaguely know?”

“Did you know… … ?”

“Or what was it? You were surprised to see the name of ‘Nibelz Enche’, or the way you looked at me when I came wearing this helmet.”

“that… … .”

“Did you not know? The past doesn’t change no matter what we do. No, rather, things went that way because we were there.”

“… … .”

Amelia didn’t answer.

I just clench my fists and put up with something.

The mouth opened again after a brief silence.

“… … So are you going to give up? I might be able to save my family, but without even trying.”

His tone was similar to his usual, but there was some kind of aggression in his voice.

Is that so?

I also spoke a little slurred.

“It’s a father I’ve never seen before.”

“In other words, is there not enough affection for that?”

“… … okay.”

“Right.”

Amelia clicked her tongue as she spoke as if convinced.

He seemed to have disappointed me.

Ha, did I just not mention this topic?

It seems like we’ve become friends these days, but it’s all gone.

“… … .”

“… … .”

After that, we took a break from each other without saying a word.

And maybe five hours or so?

I woke up with a deep sigh and said let’s just go outside. I decided that it would be more convenient to go out and do something than to roll around on a cushion of thorns like this.

but… … .

“Wait, can I stop by over there?”

“as you please.”

Returning to the boss room to take the portal, I approached the hut behind.

It was simple curiosity.

In the game, it was just a feature, so I couldn’t enter it… … .

‘Oh, the door is open.’

I entered the hut with a squeaking noise, and glanced around the inside.

And it felt very familiar.

One bookshelf, dining table, carpet, stove.

The interior was nothing special.

An ordinary hut that anyone can imagine.

However, the floor space, structure, arrangement of furniture, etc.

‘It’s exactly the same there… … ?’

Without looking around in detail, a place came to mind.

The only safe zone that exists in the witch’s forest on the 3rd floor.

witch’s hut.

The place where the Lord of Chaos was summoned while resting with Misha in the past and offering human firewood.

“The search is your heart, but when we looked there before, there was nothing like Gabrillius’ arrangement.”

At Amelia’s words, who seemed to come out quickly, she checked only the books on the bookshelf and went out.

Oh, the books were all blank.

The titles were written in ancient language, so I couldn’t read them.

Umm, if I bring Raven later, maybe you’ll find something?

“If you’re ready, go out.”

“Oh, just in case you don’t know, I’ll go first.”

“… … .”

Soon, the two of us stood in front of the portal.

Now riding it will take you back to where you were when you first entered the rift.

Tub.

As a tanker, I stepped into the portal first.

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

The light of the portal wrapped around my body, and my eyes flashed.

And slowly my vision returned.

But, what the hell is this?

“Whoa! You’re finally here!”

A group of explorers stood before him.

as if waiting for us.

“Yeah, here’s a numbered item—”

Novel from https://readwn.com

Me and the group of explorers flinched as they looked at each other at the same time.

“Uh, what is it? Iron mask?”

A team of explorers from ‘Beck’, a member of the Seongju faction.

“Hey, isn’t this amazing? I didn’t know it was you that these three guys met inside.”

“Three guys… … ?”

I unconsciously moved my head to follow Beck’s gaze, and I remained frozen.

Beep hey hey.

For some reason, I kept hearing tinnitus in my ears.

***

What is this?

For a moment, my head went blank, but my brain recognized and analyzed the visual information coming in in real time.

Carlton Drake.

Aimbourne Bertha Garcia.

And Jarku’s third son, Yandel.

The bodies of the three of them, who had climbed out of the portal several hours ago, are lying on the floor.

No, it’s not just these three.

There are two more corpses.

Anyone guessed

[It’s a big deal! Remude and Hans couldn’t come in!!]

It’s probably the two of them waiting outside.

If so, how did it happen?

“… … Bjorn.”

Amelia, who came out after me, understood the situation and grabbed my wrist with her hand.

Is the sudden action to be tolerated?

Well, it seems like it… … .

Beep hey hey-

Aww, that’s noisy.

I closed my eyes and opened them to find reason somehow.

Everything in front of me was the same.

“The second time we met during this expedition, it must be a relationship!”

Beck smiled kindly and got up from the corpse that had been sitting like a chair.

Amelia asked Beck.

“… … Why were you here?”

“Well, as soon as the rift opens, I’m walking around and can’t see these two guys here.”

Beck said, tapping Lemude and the corpse believed to be Hans with his foot.

“Once we got hold of it, I asked him, and he said that only three of his co-workers went inside? So, after waiting all the time, these three came out.”

Beck shrugged and skipped what happened next, and Amelia didn’t ask any further.

because it was obvious

After killing these three, I would have extracted only the necessary information.

At the end, the Guardian dropped a ‘Number Item’ or something like that.

Beep hey hey-

Amelia and Beck have a conversation.

It was so noisy that I couldn’t hear it very well.

So I just thought blankly.

[Oh, is it a little difficult for humans? Just call me Yandel Jarkura comfortably!]

I knew I was going to die.

But, I didn’t know it was because of me.

‘If it weren’t for me.’

Yandel Jarku would have entered the rift with all of his teammates.

Therefore, the remaining colleagues would not have been found waiting in front of them.

As a result,

he… … .

No, they wouldn’t have died.

I would have continued my journey.

And if you do… … .

[Fufu, I’m sure you’ll become a great warrior. Me and her blood child—]

Yandel Jarku could have watched the child grow up. No, maybe there was a time when we became adults and entered the labyrinth together.

‘If it weren’t for me.’

There would have been no evil spirits dwelling in Bjorn Yandel’s body.

Beep hey hey hey.

tinnitus gets worse

It was a kind of protection mechanism.

In order to be able to ignore even a little of the voice that resonates within me.

A sound for a coward.

wow.

Obviously he’s putting all his power into his hands, but blood is gathering in his head.

Beep hey hey-

‘If it wasn’t for me.’

Dwalky is not dead.

Even if he became an explorer in the future, he wouldn’t have even had that dangerous place on the 4th floor.

Beep hey hey-.

‘If I hadn’t come.’

Dwalkie’s love may have come true too.

Novel from https://readwn.com

Maybe one day, they met by chance as colleagues and became a relationship where they healed each other.

‘I… … .’

perhaps.

If the.

Yes, if not.

Beep hey hey-.

Novel from https://readwn.com

My ears, no, my head is tingling.

“By the way, why is that friend so quiet when he’s gone?”

“Byon.”

Like homework that has been delayed all the time.

Feelings are just emotions.

“Bjorn, calm down.”

A lot of emotions that I had thrown into the corner of my heart and turned away, come rushing over me at the same time.

I had to do something.

I know it’s hypocrisy even if it’s for someone else’s sake, so it’s for me.

I opened my mouth that had been shut.

“Amelia.”

Emily’s real name, not a pseudonym.

Could that have been the only way to understand the situation?

“It is the power of Seongju. Be patient.”

The force applied by Amelia, who grabbed my wrist, grew stronger.

Of course, it made no sense.

Tub.

you are minky

“Byon… … .”

Beck grinned as he pushed Amelia away.

“Fufu, the iron mask must have been angry. Where did I ask for it at all? I was just saying, let’s take a look at what we got. Haven’t we waited too long?”

I couldn’t hear the conversation they were having, but I understood the context.

Yeah, I’m curious about this, right?

shudder.

I took out the hammer I had put in the subspace.

No.87 Crowul’s Demon Crusher.

“hammer? Among the number’s items, this is also… … .”

Beck mumbled something, and his tail twitched.

And he changed his expression.

“Come on, wait a minute. Can I take a closer look? I was wondering if it was something I knew.”

“Yes.”

I went one step further, and Beck took another cautious step.

And when it’s just the right distance.

“I really am that thing! Did it really come from within?”

“okay.”

I’m glad your question has been resolved.

Puff-!

then die now
