§ 136. Labyrinth (5)
That huge purple beast must have been a daunting opponent even for Seongjin.
Entering Phase 2, it showed powerful attack power that far exceeded that of Blatta Mentis. In addition, it had such incredible speed that even Orden, who was close to a senior knight, could not react.
So Seongjin had to bring in all the abilities he could.
Expands Aura concealment as much as possible and prevents Aura from being lost to the outside.
We gathered up all the aurors we could and concentrated them on the fewest areas to make up for the lack of power.
He made up for his relative speed loss by using assassination techniques to obscure his presence, making it difficult to detect his location.
And, it uses all the surrounding geographical features.
-The more I look at it, the more interesting it moves. How on earth do you have the ability to perceive space?
In my early days as a hunter, did a colleague I was fighting with ever evaluate me that way?
As the saying goes, while concentrating on battle, the simplest attack and evasion routes would be drawn three-dimensionally in Seongjin’s mind.
As long as you follow the image created like that, it’s not easy to hit, and most attacks work.
And that was the same thing as saying that as long as Seongjin’s body was moving properly, he would always have a certain chance of winning.
Coo!
Finally, the huge body of Lycanslope collapsed to the floor.
“Whoa… … .”
Seongjin finally stopped and let out the breath he had been holding.
‘… It’s been a while since I was able to run around freely.’
It was a fairly intense battle.
I used my aurors carefully and sparingly, so even though I was swinging them around so recklessly, my entire body’s muscles did not explode like before.
Of course, there was nothing I could do about the damage to my legs, which had been busy running around in all directions. Now, my legs had become stiff and I couldn’t move much.
Nevertheless, at the end, the auras were completely depleted, and in the end, there was no choice but to use up some of the auras that were blocking the passage.
[Did you really do that by yourself?]
In a rare occurrence, the demon lord expressed his admiration obediently.
‘Okay, look. ‘I thought it would work out somehow?’
Anyway, as a result of all his efforts, new text windows were now constantly popping up in front of Seongjin’s eyes.
〚Clea□!〛
〚Lie□□rope loading was successful!〛
〚Estimating compensation… … .〛
hmm? Is there really some kind of reward like a game?
〚Success level exceeds registered records.〛
〚Request for update of information from the network.〛
〚The □movement adjustment function of the str□ is activated.〛
〚Currently loading… … .〛
And beep. Along with the cheerful notification, a text that was quite clean unlike before appeared.
〚Some systems will be recovered successfully〛
Oh, this is my first time seeing unbroken text.
〚Compensation appropriate for the completion level has been provided.〛
〚A return portal is created〛
And it’s a disaster. Suddenly, a long beam of five-colored light appeared in the middle of the cavity.
“… Portal?”
I have a hunch that this is the shortcut back to Delcross.
[hmm… … .]
The demon lord seemed to look around carefully for a moment and then agreed.
[I’m not sure where it’s connected, but it’s definitely some kind of gate. As expected, it is a product of the normal world, and it looks very stable?]
Okay, let’s ride that one.
[But you don’t know where you’ll arrive. Wouldn’t it be a little dangerous? Instead, just call your father.]
‘Tsk tsk. I know only one, but I don’t know the other.’
Seongjin shook his head.
ruler. Think about it, devil.
If this portal is connected to Delcross, we can avoid our father finding out about our accident.
What if I go somewhere else?
Then you can call your father at that time. Anyway, whether you sing it here or there, it’s the same.
The demon king was very impressed by Seongjin’s extremely reasonable explanation.
[…] Wow, are all kids always like this? Are you risking your life to avoid being scolded by your parents?]
One life, one night!
Meanwhile, the Lycan Slope that had fallen to the ground had already returned to its original size.
As I see my body gradually fading away, I feel like I’m just going to evaporate like a game.
Thinking like that, he slowly approached, but suddenly the guy turned his head towards Seongjin. The glassy blue eyes of an animal stare at Seongjin with clear intelligence.
‘… … ?’
As Seongjin stopped at the sudden situation and looked at him, an unfamiliar voice rang in Seongjin’s head.
[■■■ ■■? Why here… … .]
… what?
Seongjin listened in puzzlement, but the beast, which was twitching as if it wanted to say something, soon closed its eyes helplessly.
Soon, the gigantic shape turns faint, becomes a small bunch of light, and disappears without a trace.
Embarrassed, Seongjin looked at the scene blankly and asked the Demon King.
‘Hey, did you just hear that?’
[huh? what?]

The devil really seems to know nothing.
‘… Was it a mistake?’
In the place where the beast has disappeared, only a small accessory remains, sparkling.
When Seongjin picked it up, the name of the item appeared before his eyes along with a beeping sound.
〚Lycanslope Road, Nebraska’s Summoning Amulet〛
Could it be that the beast’s name was Nebraska? Or is it simply the name of the item?
For some reason, he seemed to recognize Seongjin at the end, what was it? Is it because of my mood?
While I was looking at the items with that thought in mind, small texts appeared one after another in front of my eyes.
〚There are 4 souls belonging to player ■■■ ■■.〛
〚Open list〛
… Imbued soul?
Seongjin, who was puzzled, hesitated for a moment and spoke.
“Heat.”
Then a selection window appeared in front of me.
〚List of spirits that can be summoned as summoned beasts 2/4〛
[One. □□□□ (inactive)〛
[2. □□□ □□ (inactive)〛
〚3. Hayes Martin (active)〛
[4. Red (active)〛
〚Do you want to choose your soul?〛
〚Accept/Reject〛
… Eh?

Hee hee hee!
Amelia, who almost jumped off the galloping horse, quickly walked into the Scarchapino mansion with a nervous look on her face.
‘Mores… … !’
Strangely, today was a day when my heart was pounding and I couldn’t concentrate on anything.
Today is not the first time something like this has happened.
There was a time in the past when I suffered from an ominous feeling all day long, and on those days, there was always an accident and Mores was seriously injured.
Finally, around evening, Amelia put down the book she was reading and looked for Mores. And her heart sank when she heard Edith say that she had not yet returned from her outing.
So, he abandoned the escort driver and rode to the townhouse.
‘Why? ‘Why am I so anxious?’
Trying to suppress her trembling heart, Amelia went up to the second floor lounge under the guidance of the employees.
But at that moment, Brother Martha was grabbing the old butler by the collar and shaking him violently.
“Why can’t we just say it right! It’s been a while since the meeting ended, so why haven’t you shown up? “Where the hell am I right now!”
“So, I’m sorry, but I… … .”
“Then call Prince Scarzapino immediately! “Didn’t you say that he served your Majesty?”
“That’s because Ricardo suddenly left the room… … .”
“What? Leaving you alone? Does that make sense now!”
Masain was usually a kind older brother who only showed a gentle face to his younger siblings.
However, now he is baring his teeth and growling at the butler, giving off an extremely ferocious aura, as if he has become a completely different person.
Amelia realized this.
‘As expected, something happened to Mores!’
As I was biting my lip out of nervousness, I heard an urgent voice calling them from behind.
“Brother Masain! Sister Amelia!”
At that moment, Logan, dressed in a white Knights uniform, was entering the lounge.
A long Henesys long sword is tied to his waist, and his left arm is even equipped with a small buckler that was worn when subjugating seawater.
“I received word from Sisley that something serious seems to have happened to Mores. “She asked me to take a quick look, so I rushed over, but what is all this about?”
Sisley is not a child who usually talks nonsense, so I came fully armed just in case.
And his answer touched the heart of the knight commander, who had always been concerned about the feud between the two.
“His Majesty Logan, I personally did this for Prince Mores… … .”
Masain’s eyes were filled with tears. Of course, he was still holding the old butler by the collar.
And the butler, who was hanging on his hand, broke into a cold sweat in silence as the situation began to escalate.
‘why… ‘Why did things happen like this?’
Until now, Prince Mores was just a secret guest who went around quietly.
However, a famous knight commander from the royal family appeared and scolded him to death. Then, the princess who was said to be the emperor’s favorite and now the prince who was predicted to be the next emperor appeared.
Who would have thought that a member of the Holy Imperial Family would go out to protect that bastard prince?
“So, where is Mores now?”
As Logan was asking again, a bright beam of five colors suddenly appeared before their eyes.
“… … !?”
The light became brighter in an instant and then disappeared, but everyone opened their eyes and looked at the place where the light passed.
It’s not that they weren’t, but two people suddenly appeared in a place where there was no one, as if it were a lie.
“Lord Martha?”
What happened in the meantime was Orden covered in blood and Seongjin supporting him.
“huh? Sister Amelia? Plus Logan? “What’s going on here everyone?”
Seongjin asked Orden as he sat him down on the floor.
Logan, who realized his serious condition at a glance, came running to him with a stern expression. Soon, bright divine power exploded from Logan’s hand, and Orden’s face, which had been grimacing in pain, became much more relaxed.
After all, isn’t this a promising next success? Seeing that the wound is healing quickly, it seems that this guy’s divine power is unique.
Meanwhile, Amelia approached Seongjin with a worried face and asked.
“What happened, Mores? Did he do something wrong to you again?”
“… yes?”
When Seongjin, who somehow sensed a subtle nuance, asked again, Amelia continued speaking in a cautious tone.
“Of course, Archduke Sigismund is not usually a very likable person, but I am still worried that I may have been a little too lenient this time.”
Seongjin was so dumbfounded that he opened his mouth in a daze.
Is this sister mistakenly thinking that I took care of that guy?
No, of course, the two disappeared together and one came back covered in blood, so it’s not unreasonable to think so… … .
“… … .”
And Orden, who heard the princess’s blunt words that she did not like him, lowered his head in silence with a sullen expression.
Although his physical condition was much improved, his complexion somehow looked even worse than before.
“It’s all a misunderstanding, sister.”
It was when Seongjin was about to say something.
Logan, who had just finished treatment and approached Seongjin, caught a glimpse of Orden’s direction and secretly whispered in Seongjin’s ear.
“What the hell is going on, Seongjin Lee? Anyway, why do you beat people to that point?”
“… huh?”
“First of all, I’ve roughly corrected it, so if a complaint comes from the Sigismunds, just say they didn’t hit you that harshly. okay?”
“No, that means I didn’t do that!”
Seongjin was dumbfounded.
What on earth do these people think of me?
And as an excellent Auror user, Orden, who had listened to every single whisper of conversation between the siblings, felt helpless.
Of course, the prince’s skills that he actually saw were truly admirable.
Anyway, that’s true. He is the most promising swordsman on the continent, having swept all prestigious martial arts competitions!
He is considered the strongest young man in Delcross along with Prince Logan, but do these people really believe without the slightest doubt that Prince Mores unilaterally beat them up?
“We just got caught up in Ricardo’s trap together!”
“trap?”
“okay. Orden didn’t do anything wrong. “He was trying to help me, but he got caught up in it!”
Seongjin explained the situation and did not forget to defend Orden, who had suffered together with him.
“Of course, it was just a waste of effort, and it was actually a burden for me to help!”
Gagging.
As Seongjin explained, Orden’s face, who suffered serious internal injuries, instantly turned blue.
