Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 135

§ 135. Labyrinth (4)

Big wow!

The roar of a huge beast fills the cavity.

The awkward appearance at first was all over the place, and the menacing force it was emitting now was comparable to that of the Glature Troll hidden deep in the demon world.

Orden stepped back with a tired look on his face and looked out for the giant lycan slope.

He had already cut down that beast with his sword several times. However, it may be because its skin is so thick, but on the outside it appears to be fine and without any scratches.

I definitely had a knack for cutting it, but I couldn’t understand the result.

“… … !”

Quaaaang!

Without a moment’s time to think, the gigantic figure was aimed at him again and fell to the floor. The stone shatters and fragments scatter in all directions.

Orden narrowly avoided the attack and dug deep into the side of the Lycan Slope. And taking advantage of the moment when the guy hesitated to pull out the stuck sword, I quickly stabbed the sword loaded with Aura into the guy’s leg.

Phew!

However, the beast didn’t even flinch and immediately swung its fist at him.

“… “No reaction at all?”

Orden quickly dodged away and widened his eyes.

Are you saying you don’t feel pain? However, although his sword went deep into his thigh, how come it doesn’t even leave a slight wound on him?

In the meantime, Prince Mores, who had jumped between them, overcame his deep position on the floor and ran over the guy’s thick forearms. Then, he lifts his body lightly and draws a long nutcracker downward.

Sigh!

The long gray blade of the sword cut deeply into the man’s carotid artery.

‘This time it’s a fatal blow!’

Orden thought so, but surprisingly, the bastard turned towards the prince with an unharmed appearance, as if he had not been hit in the slightest. The nape of his neck, where his sword touched, still shows no signs of bleeding, let alone a wound.

Just like that, Lycanslope violently swung the attitude he was holding on the other side towards the prince.

“… Lowering!”

It was an unexpected counterattack, but fortunately, as if he had anticipated this in advance, the prince kicked the guy’s shoulder and flew away.

And then he settled down steadily next to Orden and said.

“I don’t think there is a sudden decision? “It seems like only damage is reflected honestly.”

Orden was stunned by that dry evaluation.

“Lowering. It’s strange! That lycan slope seems to be regenerating itself like a troll. I don’t even know where the vital point is, so what should I do… … .”

But this bastard prince was tilting his head towards him.

“uh? no. Your attack this time was pretty good. “Your HP has been reduced quite a bit?”

“… yes?”

“There’s an HP bar on top of that guy’s head that shows his vitality. “Can you see it too?”

Above your head?

Only then did Orden realize that the long glowing stick above the beast’s head had shrunk slightly compared to the beginning.

I didn’t know what it was, so I just ignored it.

“… “That’s his life?”

“huh. “If you look at the fact that there are no wounds or bleeding, it seems to be a normal world that is quite close to an old game.”

“An old game… what?”

“Or is it because we are minors and the minor protection mode is activated?”

I have no idea what the prince means.

No, more than that.

“You’re the only one here who hasn’t come of age!”

As Orden cried out in tears, the prince looked at him in bewilderment.

“Does that matter now?”

“… No, I… … .”

“… come!”

Before Orden could reply, the prince shouted softly.

A huge body quickly approaches.

I wondered if the red eye light was creating a long afterimage, but wheein! The guy’s attitude is cut horizontally.

I desperately ducked to avoid it, but the wind pressure passing over my head was enough to make my whole body go numb.

Orden rolled on the floor and barely managed to spread the distance, but before he knew it, the prince had retreated a considerable distance again.

The form of keeping the gap wide enough and continuing small attacks is not a skill that has been experienced against such a huge beast once or twice.

‘… ‘How can they do that?’

Orden thought as he quickly corrected his posture.

He was a genius swordsman who had been adept at dealing with demonic beasts since childhood, but this strange battle was making him especially tired.

That huge beast seemed to change its center of gravity every time, and it often made strange movements that were difficult for him to understand. The range of motion of the joints was also slightly different from the visible shape.

Additionally, the extended arm length changes strangely every time the weapon is swung, as if the shoulder joint is missing and then coming back. Because of the size of the creature, this difference resulted in a fairly large change in spacing.

Such uncomfortable gaps constantly gnaw at Orden’s nerves.

“Whoa… … .”

There was one more problem.

This is the aura that escapes helplessly every time he swings his sword.

I don’t know what kind of trick Scarzzapino was pulling, but the aura consumed here is not easily recovered.

“There’s no need to be so impatient. “Even with small attacks, the damage is steadily accumulating.”

Prince Mores approaches Orden, who is breathing heavily, and gives him some warning.

“So don’t overdo it and save your aurors. “The air here is extremely thin in aura, so it is difficult to recover.”

Orden looked at him, feeling a little dumbfounded.

What on earth? Those overly calm eyes.

I understand that he is a pampered child in the greenhouse who has hardly ever left the imperial palace, but isn’t the current prince like the veteran of Sigismund’s domain who spent his entire life subjugating sea creatures?

It was then.

Cooung. The momentum of Lycan Slope, which took a step towards them, seemed to become even heavier.

Beep beep. A sharp warning sound pierces her ears.

〚Lie□□Rope Lord is very□□□ angry!〛

Kwaaaa!

The staggering beast suddenly leaned back sharply and let out a terrifying roar.

* * *

The large cavity was already completely devastated.

That’s because that idiot used both hands to his heart’s content and went on a rampage with the intention of destroying the community. The walls are round and the floor is made of stone, to the point where there are almost no intact areas left.

In the meantime, it is amazing that the torch lighting the interior is still burning without any damage.

“… Heo-eok, heo-eok.”

Seongjin looked at Orden, who was breathing heavily and straightening his posture.

When I see him bravely resisting a boss mob I’ve never seen before, I think he’s definitely a bad guy. During the ensuing battle, I was already hit by Lycan Slope’s attack several times, so my clothes were torn and blood was flowing all over my body.

Is that all? He even stumbles occasionally, as if most of his aura has been used up.

‘I probably won’t be able to take too long… … .’

On the other hand, Seongjin was quite relaxed. This is because the habit of avoiding giant monsters by keeping a wide gap between them in the first place and digging deep when there is an opportunity worked well.

The monsters of Gehenna must have moved so strangely.

For example, this was the case with the caterpillars of Bantra moss. How diverse was the range of pseudopodia extending from their highly variable outer shell.

‘Anyway, the more I look at it, the more it resembles the movements of Blata Mantis… … .’

Oh, except for appearance, of course.

At least that guy is a cute dog that doesn’t have more than 4 legs.

Except for some cephalopods, most of Gehenna’s monsters were in the form of arthropods. This means that the number of legs usually exceeds 6.

Blatta Mantis was also a huge insect-type monster that wielded two powerful front paws like a praying mantis. However, its streamlined appearance, covered in black dead skin cells, looks more like a cockroach than a wart… … .

‘… Oh, I shouldn’t think about it. I’m losing my appetite again.’

On the day we dealt with that guy, the entire superhuman unit suffered from loss of appetite for several days.

[Are you okay? You keep comparing me to that monster, but Blata Mantis was a pretty strong monster.]

‘If it’s not coming in droves, there’s only one animal.’

Of course, Seongjin’s abilities also dropped significantly compared to his prime, but strangely enough, he didn’t feel any sense of danger against that guy.

I felt like I had some groundless confidence that I could do anything even if I messed up.

‘I’ve become a very easy-going person… … .’

Considering Seongjin’s personality during his time as a hunter, it was truly incomprehensible. At the time, he was quite thorough when it came to fighting.

We identified the enemy’s strength as accurately as possible, organized combat personnel and planned a strategy based on objective data.

I tend to hate guys who run wild without thinking like this.

[What kind of bullshit is this guy who goes crazy the most when he turns his eyes away?]

‘That’s what happened when it couldn’t be helped. I said my preparation was pretty good.’

[Hmm, really? Could it be something like this? You think that no matter what happens, your father can somehow solve it.]

‘… is it?’

Seongjin blinked his eyes.

Surely, thinking about that guy, I feel like I understand something, right?

‘Yes, that’s right. ‘Maybe so.’

It was a pretty amazing feeling.

Do all people with parents live with this mindset?

While I was thinking about that, a sharp warning sound suddenly rang out.

〚Lie□□Rope Lord is very□□□ angry!〛

At the same time, the dog began to tremble as if he had been electrocuted by something.

I feel that the growing strength is unusual, but suddenly the thing lets out a loud roar into the air.

Kwaaaa!

Orden’s eyes, who had been wary of him, widened. In an instant, Lycan Slope’s blue fur turned purple and his body began to swell and swell.

The change was too dramatic to be considered as simply strengthening the muscles. How can your body suddenly increase in volume like that in an empty space?

Unlike Orden, who was shocked, Seongjin’s impressions this time were simple.

‘Oh, I guess it’s boss mob phase 2.’

[…] It’s good because it’s comfortable.]

‘Well, I think it’s good. Still, looking at my remaining health, I don’t think I’ll make it to Phase 3.’

And finally, in front of their eyes, a purple dog that was 1.5 times larger in size slowly stood up.

Crrrrr… … .

Long, white fangs. White steam rises from its longer and more pointed snout.

The red eyes that were staring at Seongjin and his group grew brighter and more sinister, as if their male eyes were on fire.

“… “What is this?”

Orden took a deep breath and opened his mouth, and Lycanslope’s ears twitched.

and.

“hey! careful… … !”

Quang!

Without any time to warn, Orden’s body was thrown into the stone wall. The purple beast swung its stance at incredible speed, sending him flying with all its might with the back of its sword.

“Ugh… … .”

Orden, who was stuck deep in the stone wall like a battering ram, moaned softly.

Fortunately, he did not lose consciousness, as if he had been protected by an aura, but the shock was so great that it seemed impossible to get up right away.

Crrrrr… … .

And as he watched the dog slowly approaching him, making low-frequency noises, Seongjin made up his mind.

‘… ‘I can’t help it.’

Since I was able to see that it was very successful even if I overexerted even a little, I tried to take my time and take it slow this time.

Seongjin sighed, wrapped his legs in auror, and kicked the floor with a thud.

Before the startled Lycan Slope could react, Seongjin flew to the creature’s back and swung a nutcracker.

Sigh. He cut the beast’s back wide, and before the beast could turn around, he had already planted his foot on the stone wall and was throwing his body again towards the beast’s legs.

The worst! The nutcracker digs deep into the knee joint that is bent backwards and stirs it up.

The guy quickly swung his attitude diagonally, but Seongjin, who was kind and lowered his body almost to the floor, narrowly dodged his body and kicked the floor. The blade of a sword cuts through the hull of a boat one after another.

Wow!

The beast, unable to keep up with Seongjin’s movements, lashes out nervously.

Seongjin then turned around, using the nutcracker that had cut off the animal’s head as support, and before he knew it, he was slashing deeply into one of the huge beast’s shoulders.

“… … .”

Orden was sitting down in front of the stone wall, staring at the scene blankly, forgetting the pain that was piercing his entire body.

It was like a dream.

If you look at it simply, it was just a small attack that hit and run away, but the prince was not even wasting a single movement to escape and was stabbing the guy with his sword.

As evidence, the remaining vitality of Lycan Slope is decreasing at a steady rate.

The prince’s interval.

What Orden felt when he first confronted him was that his spacing was much narrower than that of a sword strike.

But now Orden realized that he had been greatly mistaken all along.

The distance between the princes was not an area that could be expressed simply as a distance. The stone wall that was thrown off becomes his footing, and the furrow created by the animal’s slash immediately becomes a barrier to protect him.

Everything within the prince’s sight is his domain.

The prince was already everywhere.

“Whoa… … .”

And when the prince finally sat down on the floor and let out the long breath he had been holding.

Coo!

The massive body of the monster, which seemed to have no way out, fell to the floor.
