Normalizing the Labyrinth City in the Game

“…Pardon? Ah, here…”

The moment Siwon gripped the holy sword handed over by Seo Isu.

“Kuuk!”

An intense pain surged through his fingertips.

“…”

Even when healing five wounds with one healing potion, it wasn’t this bad.

‘This crazy, holy sword bastard…’

The holy sword had already chosen Seo Isu as its owner, but.

Separate from that, there was no need for such a strong purification reaction.

“If you’re going to be like that, I have my ways too.”

Siwon said this while taking out the anti-magic sword.

“…By, by any chance. What are you trying to do now?”

“Why?”

“The yellow sword is screaming for its life…”

“It’s an auditory hallucination. Ignore it.”

How can a sword die in the first place?

“…”

Siwon held the anti-magic sword in reverse grip.

“Try purifying this too, you bastard.”

Siwon’s anti-magic sword stabbed straight into the hilt of the holy sword.

“Kieeeeek!”

…A scream that was hard to believe came from a holy sword echoed from the center of the blade.

A moment later.

“How is it, feeling better?”

“…Yes. Certainly, it’s barely making any sound now.”

“…It’s still making sound?”

“Yes. It keeps muttering about being tainted by touching a non-virgin…”

“…”

Is this really a holy sword?

At least the anti-magic sword has a grudge against magicians.

This bastard is just like this because it likes virgins….

-That fucking bastard, does he think I stabbed him because I like him?

As if affirming this, Siwon heard the voice of the anti-magic sword in his ear, but he ignored it.

‘…It seems it’s been purified a bit, after all.’

The madness felt earlier seems to have faded a little.

I don’t know what will happen if we meet a magician again, but.

“…Agh! Sion-nim!”

At that moment, Hassan called Siwon.

“What.”

“Over there in front…”

Even though Hassan trailed off, Siwon didn’t stop him.

“…Damn it.”

Because an explorer being eaten by a mimic entered Siwon’s field of vision.

‘Fuck, seeing it in reality is really disgusting.’

In the game, there was at least some kind of cognitive filter.

Seeing this scene in reality made him want to vomit.

A visual like a human body wearing white tights.

Three closed pupils.

No ears or nose.

Instead, two mouths protruding long like thorns.

The mimic was eating various parts of the explorer’s body with those long mouths, savoring the taste of different body parts.

“…Let’s pass by quietly, Abdul. Got it?”

“Agh. My name is not Abdul but Hassan…”

“…”

If it weren’t for this situation, Siwon would have hit Hassan.

After deciding to hit him later, Siwon spoke moderately.

“…As long as you understood. Anyway, let’s go quietly.”

Siwon turned his head.

Seo Isu was still vomiting.

“Seo Isu, you get up too. Unless you want to be eaten by that thing.”

“…Urp, yes.”

The moment Seo Isu got up.

“…Huh?”

The gaze of the explorer being eaten by the mimic met with them.

‘Oh shit.’

Please, don’t say anything.

“Kuuu… sa-save me. Ple…ase.”

Of course, it was a wish that couldn’t be fulfilled.

“Kisik?!”

At the same time as the explorer’s words, the mimic stopped its meal.

As it turned its head, the mimic’s closed eyes were revealed.
The top one only had the white left, and the bottom two only showed black pupils, a strange appearance.

“…Hassan, Seo Isu.”

“Agh!”
“Yes?”

“Run, damn it!”

Siwon immediately led Seo Isu and Hassan and ran out of the cave.

He also grabbed his bag that Hassan was carrying.

It’s not out of concern for Hassan falling behind.

It’s just that if Hassan gets caught by the mimic, this luggage will be gone too.

“Kisisik!!!”

From behind, the mimic chased after Siwon and his slaves, making its peculiar strange crying sound.

“Agh! Sion-nim!”

“What!”

“With Sion-nim’s swordsmanship skills, a mimic like that…”

That’s 2 reserved beatings now.

“You stupid bastard! I’ll explain later, for now just run!”

“Huu, haa…”

While talking with Hassan.

Seo Isu’s footsteps began to slow down gradually.

It was a difficult pace for a woman who hadn’t done any training.

“Seo Isu, if you’re having a hard time, ask the holy sword for help!”

“What? Wait a minute, this was a holy sword?”

“Is that important right now?! Quickly ask for help!”

“He-Help me! Holy Sword-nim!”

“…”

The holy sword remained silent.

‘This fucking bastard. Don’t tell me…’

An ominous feeling ran down Siwon’s spine.

Could it be wanting that declaration?

“No-Nothing’s happening! Wh-What should I do…”

‘…Do I really have to say this crazy method?’

He hesitated for a moment, but not for long.

“…Make a virgin declaration!”

At Siwon’s words, Seo Isu shouted, forgetting even the fact that she was struggling.

“…What?! No, what’s that…”

“Just do it, quickly! Even for a week is fine!”

“Huu, no, I mean how do I do that!”

“Repeat after me. For the next week, I will protect my virginity! Holy Sword-nim, please lend me your strength!”

“…”

Seo Isu’s mouth closed.

She seems to have received quite a shock.

“Kishaaaaak!!!”

The mimic’s scream intensified.

It means the distance has gotten closer.

“Do it, quickly! You, do you want to be eaten by that thing?”

“Uu, uuu…”

Hesitation ends at two times.

Soon, Seo Isu’s mouth opened.

“For the next week, I will protect my virginity! Holy Sword-nim, please lend me your strength!”

Even before Seo Isu finished speaking.

A yellow light burst out intensely from the holy sword.

After a series of events.

Siwon, Hassan, and Seo Isu, who had briefly received the power of the holy sword, succeeded in shaking off the mimic.

“Huu, haa…”

“Agh! Sion-nim! It seems the mimic is no longer following us!”

“Really?”

“Agh!”

Well, that worked out well.

Thwack!

“Aargh!”

Thwack!

“Agh!”

“Those are the two hits I saved up earlier, Hassan.”

“Aargh… Wh-What’s that…”

“It’s a thing. Ah, and you asked why we’re running away from the mimic, right?”

“Agh! That’s right!”

‘…Should I tell him this?’

It was a doubt that suddenly occurred, but.

‘…This bastard might try to catch a mimic on his own, so it’s better to tell him.’

“If mimic blood gets on your body, it breaks the camouflage of nearby mimics.”

Even with Siwon’s explanation, Hassan just tilted his head.

“…Well, of course mimics break their camouflage when you get close, don’t they?”

“…Not just nearby. If you have blood on you, it breaks the camouflage of mimics even over a hundred steps away.”

At Siwon’s words, Hassan began to harden his expression as if imagining something.

“…If, if that happens…”

“Right. That’s why I said let’s just run away. Got it?”

“Agh! As expected of Sion-nim! How do you know such things?”

“It’s a thing, bastard. More importantly…”

Siwon’s gaze turned towards Seo Isu.

She was continuously panting as if unable to handle the power of the holy sword.

“Haa, haa…”

“Hey, Seo Isu. Are you okay?”

“…I can manage. More importantly, what is this sword? Th-That declaration… Is this really a holy sword?”

“…”

That’s right.

Is this truly a holy sword, or is it a sexual sword?

Just looking at its behavior, it seems clearly the latter.

But according to the story, it’s definitely the former.

“More importantly, if you’ve calmed down, let’s get going soon.”

“…What? Go where…”

“To the next floor.”

“?”

Seo Isu made an expression as if she didn’t understand what he was saying.

“…”

It seemed there was a lot to explain to her.

After a brief explanation, finishing a brief overview of the labyrinth and this world.

“Th-Then when I introduce myself, should I say I’m a foreigner?”

“That’s right.”

After confirming that she had heard properly, Siwon immediately called Hassan.

“Hassan!”

“Agh!”

“Let’s depart soon. The 4th floor is right ahead!”

“Agh!”

A moment later.

“Agh! Th-There it is!”

“I know too, bastard.”

“…Is that the warp gate you mentioned?”

A red gate appeared in front of Siwon and his slaves.

“Agh! Sion-nim, then I’ll go in first!”

“…No, wait.”

“Agh?”

For some reason, an uneasy feeling came over him.

A feeling that if he passes through this gate now, there will be no turning back.

“Should we rest a little before going?”

“Agh! Sion-nim! We haven’t even walked for 10 minutes!”

“I’m fine now too. Departing right away would be…”

“…”

Feeling uneasy for no reason.

It’s nonsense.

Actions in the labyrinth always need a basis.

The warp gate is red as usual, and there’s no change in its form whatsoever.

Rather, if we don’t depart right now, we might face some mishap since a stirring is occurring.

“…Right, let’s go in.”

In the end, Siwon chose intuition over premonition.

The reason being that there was no abnormality at all.

“Agh!”

“Is, is this something we just enter?”

Siwon is the last to enter.

After Hassan and Seo Isu stepped in first.

“…”

Now it was Siwon’s turn.

At that moment.

“Oh, shit…!”

The red gate turned purple.

The hidden floor revealed its identity.

If this were a game, I would have cheered at the good luck, but.

“This is a bit inconvenient right now…!”

If he doesn’t step in here, he’ll be separated from Hassan and Seo Isu who have already entered the hidden floor.

There are two hidden floors that appear between the 1st and 5th floors.

Please, let it not be that one….

Siwon prayed so and stepped into the purple warp gate.

Without any precursor, Siwon’s vision immediately brightened.

“Si-Sion-nim! Where is this place?”

“…Weren’t we in a cave just now?”

A garden full of lush vegetation and flowers in bloom.

A sight completely inconsistent with the labyrinth.

“…Oh shit.”

“?”

We’re fucked.

“Oh my, we have guests?”

The seductress of the labyrinth.

An Alraune revealed herself from within the thicket.
