Episode 333 < Glass Palace. (3) >
“What a lowly thing!”
Hissimit Kritz spoke urgently.
“What are you doing now!”
The constellation no longer gave voice only to Patricia’s doll. Beyond the glass window surrounding me, hundreds and thousands of dolls cried out all at once.
“If you defeated me with force, how would you think my existence would fade away?”
The screams of thousands of people were enough to tear the sky apart.
“I am the master of all secrets! I gave you a problem and you accepted my problem! It’s a duel. This too is a duel. Do you know! Even if your humble blade shatters the window and tears the ground, the problem is not solved one bit! Gordian knots are not accepted! never! Just wait and see, the judge will eventually declare my victory… … !”
“I am not Alexander.”
I turned the hilt of the sword.
“I’m doing this with the right answer.”
The blade was already deeply dug into the ground, Kwazuzu! It twisted with a violent roar. Damn it! A spiderweb-like crack appeared around the sword. When my sword twisted Il-ri, the spider web spread beyond Il-li.
It was an instant.
“That’s the answer. What are you talking about… … , stop! Stop it! You are now using violence, not force! Violence means assault! Do you know this?! It’s called assault! “You!”
“okay. “If you’re going to keep holding on, I’ll tell you the answer you know and I know.”
Find the body of Hissimit Kritz in the world of the glass palace.
This was the task given to me on the 63rd stage.
And as soon as I heard the assignment, or even before I heard it, I only cared about two things.
“I thought it was either heaven or earth. “From the beginning.”
“… … what… … .”
“You control all these puppets. What I mean is, it’s simple. The moment I get killed by that doll, hissymit critz. “It means seeing your trauma.”
I lifted the tip of my mouth.
“That’s what you really want. is not it?”
“You are the constellation who claims to rule over all secrets and is well-versed in labyrinths and labyrinths. He is also the person who designed the trauma penalty. “I don’t know exactly what tricks you used, but one thing is certain: [Your trauma is a labyrinth that is extremely difficult to escape].”
“… … Hey! “Hey!”
Yes.
All dolls are just bait.
Considering ‘common sense’, it is impossible to find the main body of Hissimit Kritz among the countless dolls that cover the entire world.
Only when I use the ‘unusual’ skill that I have, [Returner’s Clockwork], can I find the main body.
If you go into Trauma and see Hissimit Kritz’s past, you will naturally learn about that constellation, understand its habits and habits, and naturally learn where it hides itself.
“That’s too bad.”
Therefore, in this stage, [Trauma] is the fastest shortcut and the only key.
“I’m not stupid enough to pick a fight in the area where you’re most confident!”
That is why it is the most dangerous [trap].
“All dolls are bait! The reason you egged me on by revealing Patricia’s secret was to intensify my emotions and tempt me into taking the easiest shortcut! “If I hadn’t met the fox on the 61st floor, if I hadn’t fallen into the triple dream, I might have overlooked the danger of trauma!”
I had already realized how dangerous ‘constellation trauma’ was.
Didn’t I live half the life of Raviel and half the life of my teacher?
The gap between the 61st and 63rd floors was too short to forget that lesson.
“Bad timing! “Snake God!”
Kwazizig!
The crack in the ground grew wider and wider. Tsuzu! The gap widened and became a gap, and the gap split to open a gap. If it opened just one more inch, it would have been a crack in the bottomless pit, and if it had gone one more moment, it would have been the cliff of a canyon. Ugh, there was a shaking like an earthquake.
“And, it was stupid!”
“Didn’t you hear me tell you to stop? You! this guy! No matter how much the human race is incapable of understanding human speech, we cannot ignore the advice of the constellations! “Listen to me!”
“You can control all the puppets and make their mouths move! No matter where you are or what kind of doll you are, you can do whatever you want. That means—- you are either at the [top] overlooking all the dolls, or you are at the [bottom] supporting all the dolls!”
“Listen to me!”
“I’ll tell you the answer to your riddle!”
The earth split apart.
“This land itself, built in the glass palace, is your body!”
Exhibition halls made of glass windows were shattered loudly.
“The land of this world is your skin! No, it’s a shell!”
I felt the earthquake getting stronger.
I once again reflected on what I had confirmed immediately after falling into the labyrinth.
“The ground.”
「Wooden material.」
“The wooden floor was spread out with swirling patterns resembling snake scales.”
Every riddle is given a hint.
The fact that the pattern on the ground I was standing on resembled snake scales could have simply been seen as [an interior befitting the world of the snake god].
And perhaps it could be seen as [an old shell shed from a snake as large as the world].
“Acknowledge my correct answer! “The constellation of the labyrinth!”
The gap widened and the ground sank into the cliff.
The dolls on display in the exhibition hall also fell.
In the water tank, pieces of pure white glass fell like flower petals.
Hundreds of millions of wooden dolls fell like tree branches.
“I am revealing your secret here!”
“Ugh… … !”
Tinnitus, eyes that dwell in the labyrinth.
Jinmyeong, Hissimit Crits.
And its identity.

“[I am here!]”
Jormungand.
A monster so large that it swallows up the entire world, and eventually wraps itself around the edges of the world and bites its own tail with its jaws.
A snake that created a world.
“I am the winner of this duel!”
“Ugh… … !”
Soon the ground collapsed.
The ancient shell is so vast and thick that it can be mistaken for land.
The skin was torn.
“Yes, bastard… … !”
Beneath the torn skin there was only endless darkness.
It was a deep sea, but it wasn’t water so I couldn’t swim.
It was the universe, but the laws of physics did not apply, so it was endless, but without knowing the bottom, it was hidden forever, and will be hidden forever, inside the shell of an egg.
“You bastard! You! You, Death King! You! dare!”
There was a snake there.
“How dare I HISHMIT KRITS!”
The snake coiled throughout the deep sea and covered the entire universe. Whoops! When the snake opens its mouth, an abyss like hell opens up there.
Only two eyes.
[‘The eye that dwells in the labyrinth’ appears.]
Only the two inverted eyes shining with bright red hostility are the fire that lights up this deep sea.
This circular world, which uses the outer shell it created within the shell it shed long ago as an outer wall and does not allow any illumination other than its own gaze, is probably the most profound palace.
That is why the eyes dwell in the labyrinth.
Anyone can build this palace in their mind. Anyone can become the only king who reigns on the throne. The gigantic monster roared like an old tyrant, coiled in a world where it was king and ruled only by itself, a palace where no one could rule.
“To the human who succeeded by beating Hamustra’s tail!”
The tail of a snake whose size I could not even guess hit me.
Perhaps, in reality, there is no size.
This is Hissimit Kritz’s deepest place and heart. It was literally the abode of the heart. In the world he had created, he was the only one who was huge, and the only thing that existed was himself. Rather than a terrifying majesty, this deep sea was nothing more than a wick that needed to be cut open.
“aha!”
Therefore, it was cut down.
“It’s light! It’s light! “The gesture of the poisonous snake’s hand, which was so small that it could not occupy even a single point under the sky, was a thousand times heavier than the gesture of your tail!”
Jormungand’s tail was cut off by my single sword. His blood was sprinkled, and an infinite red color was scattered, enough to color the world, and although it was only a moment, a dark red sunset was reflected in the deep sea.
“———-!”
The screams added red to the blood-red waves.
“Beep.”
With good timing, the fox wrapped around my neck let out a small cry.
[‘Music Box Just for You’ grants this quest.]
Between me, falling, and Jormungand, curled up at the bottom, grains of sand formed letters.
+
[God of Skin]
Difficulty: S-
Mission Objective: Defeat Hissimit Kritz, the one who rules the 63rd floor [The Eye Who Dwells in the Labyrinth]. Hissimit Kritz exposed your colleagues and insulted your honor.
※However, if you die even once from Hishmit Kritz, you are defeated.

“This is why! “It is said that it is convenient to attend the Constellation!”
“Payaak.”
“I don’t know why I’ve been ignoring this convenient thing until now!”
Sigh-.
I continued to attack the snake. I didn’t avoid it. Even when Hissimit Kritz constantly attacked by shaking his body, biting him with his fangs, and spitting out poison from his mouth, he countered them all without dodging even an inch.
“Great… … profit! urg! “Kaaaaaaaa!”
Every time I swung the sword, blood burst out.
The darkness of the deep sea embraced the red sunset.
“Aaaahhh, ahhh, ahhh!!”
Ah, an echo echoed through the world that was supposed to be self-complete.
The screams overlapped and overlapped.
Constantly, like waves crashing against a seaside cliff.
[The existence of the ‘eyes dwelling in the labyrinth’ becomes blurred.]
Just as waves carve away the rocks on the coast surrounding the sea.
So so so so so. Wow!
The snake’s scream cracked little by little the eggshell surrounding the snake.
“Aaaaa!!”
It was a world wide enough to contain his heart, but it was too shallow to endure his screams.
Ultimately, every palace is a house destined for destruction.
[The existence of the ‘eyes dwelling in the labyrinth’ becomes blurred.]
Just as every dynasty created an era name whose destruction was predicted.
[The existence of the ‘eyes dwelling in the labyrinth’ becomes blurred.]
At this moment today, the kingdom of snow, a labyrinth-dwelling kingdom built by a tyrant named Hissimit Kritz, whose walls were surrounded by dolls’ bodies and whose pillars were built with human secrets, announces its end.
“… … right… … , black. Ugh… … .”
The snake’s moans flowed softly.
“entire… … . Everything will be exposed. entire… … .”
Now this was no longer a deep sea that refused to bottom.
Light leaked through the cracks that looked like wounds.
Bathed in a dimmer light than the shadows, Jormungand had already shrunk to the size of a slightly larger snake.
“If you attack me, if you attack me more, I will realize that you are a returner… … . Not just the world you live in! Not just your colleagues, your son, your daughter, but… … Wherever my faith reaches! To all the world! Yes, all over the tower! “I will expose everything!”
“…….”
“My, the moment I get hurt is also the day you fall. Do you understand? You know, right? Any success you achieve will be looked down upon as the result of regression. Because all of your blood has been undervalued. No one will respect you, and it’s as if they knew it would happen. your blood your time your dedication. “Everything seemed as if it never happened.”
“…….”
“Do you know?”
The snake was really small
If all you know how to do is hurt yourself.
“Are you really aware of my power?”
A stone lying on the road, a blade accidentally placed there.
ironware.
It was a being that was no different from that.
“sun.”
The wounds I will sustain will still be wounds, though.
You too will remain iron forever.
“I have Raviel, I have family, and I have close friends. “Just as I stayed by Patricia’s side even after I found out her secret, Patricia will continue to stay by my side even after she found out my secret.”
“…….”
“While you spent eternity here, I gained people by shedding blood.”
The enemy was not blood.
There was no thin blood either.
There was no blood that wasn’t red.
“Hishmit kritz.”
“Ugh… Ugh…”
“I will be patient with you.”
The moment I said that, the snake screamed to be torn apart.
“Okay, then let’s do it like this!”
I raised my sword without saying a word.
“I’ll keep your secret! Make sure no one, literally no one, knows that you have regression skills… By my secret power! forever! I will hide it deep inside my eggshell! How do you feel!? This is enough to satisfy you… !”
lifted high.
“W-You mean that’s not enough!? Oh my, you, no, baby! When you entered the sacred realm of Hamustra, didn’t you use the Shinigami’s protection!? How was it!? Was it good!? It was convenient!? What would it be like if you could use that power indefinitely!? huh!? “I wonder what it would be like!”
I lifted it all the way.
“That’s not all! My life has been as long as my body! The power I have is just as deep! We can give you more power! There is! I! “This is Hissimit Critz!”
After a pause,
“story! Let’s talk! people! People with intelligence get along with words, not arms, so come on! Let’s agree! Let’s talk! Let’s solve this situation wisely, so, you bastard, young star! No big star! Confucius! Really, just wait a minute… … !!”
I swung it like that.
The next moment, the world split in two with a tearing scream.
