Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character

Chapter 22

22 – #22. Ant cave? (6)

“Wow, wow… Huh….”

It has been an hour since Zeke ran away, leaving Monaca behind.

While he was running away, he encountered groups of rain spiders that appeared occasionally.

Every time we encountered him, he changed his route and ran faster.

As I was running out of breath, without even thinking about the honor of the prosecutor.

The confidence I had in being a C-class veteran adventurer had long since been lost when I encountered multiple Big Spiders while carrying Monaca.

“Shibaal! Why… why! Just for me… “This is what happened!!”

The further I looked ahead, the more I could see, an endless cave path and darkness.

Zeek, who felt like he couldn’t run anymore, soon stopped and started to catch his breath.

“Huh, huh….”

He inhaled and exhaled harshly, feeling as if his heart was going to explode.

Then it was that time.

-Turped. Trudging.

Footsteps began to be heard from the street across from where Zeke was running.

“Damn it! Is it a magical beast again?! Jegi day!”

Zeek prepares to run again with all his might.

The moment I turned around and tried to run away.

“… ! Is it Zeke?!”

“…… !”

A familiar voice reached his ears.

A full and masculine voice with a bit of a metallic sound mixed in.

It was Victor’s voice.

“Rain, Victor-?!”

“Of course it’s true!”

Zeek’s face turned bright red.

Zeek ran to Victor and said with a distorted smile like a newborn baby who has seen his parents.

“Victor! Live… Was he alive?!”

“hahahaha! “To die in a labyrinth like this, my pride can’t tolerate it!”

Zeek felt a sense of psychological stability from Victor’s always confident attitude.

“Anyway, Zeke. Are you alone? “What about the other kids?”

“Uh….”

For a moment, Monaca, whom he had left behind with the group of Big Spiders, flashed through Zeke’s mind.

“I don’t know… I guess. “When it metastasized, I was alone.”

Zeek rolled his eyes and answered hesitantly.

Victor seemed to believe Zeke’s answer without any doubt.

“Hmm, this is a pain in the ass. So, do we have to find them all one by one? .”

“… ….”

“Let’s quickly find everything and go out. “If we take any more time, the life and death of Monaca and Xian will become unstable.”

“-?! “Is there a way to get out?!”

Zeke widened his eyes at Victor.

“hahahaha! There is a way! Who am I? “I found another transfer magic stone on my way back earlier.”

“W-Is that really?!”

“Why would I lie? “It’s on the wall in the direction I was just walking from.”

“…… !”

Zeek’s heart beat faster at the fact that he could go out.

This labyrinth was that much terrifying to him.

A place where no sound can be heard, it is dark and humid, and if you take a wrong turn, dangerous demons will attack you.

For Zeke, this labyrinth was hell itself.

“First of all, I haven’t seen anyone in the direction I came from, so it would be best to go the way you came, Zeke. “Let’s leave together before it’s too late.”

“Ah, I see.”

Victor passed Zeke and walked ahead.

Zeek also unconsciously followed behind Victor.

-Turped. Trudging.

Only the footsteps of Victor and Zeke echo within the cave.

No words were exchanged between the two while walking.

It also meant that they were on high alert.

Just when I thought I had walked for such a long time.

“Hmm?”

“…… ?”

Victor spread his palm to block Zeke.

“Wait a moment. “I feel a presence.”

“A presence, a presence… ?”

Zeek recalled the fearsome group of Big Spiders from before.

Not long after Victor stopped Zeke, something appeared in the darkness, just as Zeke said.

From noble mtl dot com

“Sssss.”

“Sssss, sss.

“Sssss.”

These were the three Big Spiders, the sweepers of this labyrinth, who moved in a group.

“Wow, that’s a pain in the ass. 3 Dogs is a bit tough… Zeke! “Come to the side and take cover!”

“Ah, I understand!”

Victor takes out the long great sword sheathed behind his back and takes a stance.

Zeek also suddenly grabbed his sword and confronted Victor next to him.

Victor continued the battle by slashing at the two attacking Big Spiders with his long great sword.

On the other hand, Zeke’s stamina was almost empty, so he was busy blocking the attack of one Big Spider.

“Ugh! It’s a bit difficult to deal with two of them at the same time! Hey jee….”

But that was then.

-Shhh!

-Pyeong!

“Kwaaak!”

An arrow flew into Victor’s arm while he was wielding a long sword and hit it accurately.

Victor groaned as if in pain and looked in the direction the arrow had come from.

“W-what…” !”

“Kieek.”

“Kiek. Kieeek.”

Then there were several goblin archers standing there, aiming their bows at Victor.

“Goblin… ? What a goblin….”

Victor was embarrassed.

I never thought that a goblin would appear in a cave-like labyrinth like this.

Goblin is a humanoid beast that lives in the forest.

No matter how seasoned an adventurer Victor was, he could not have predicted that he would encounter goblins in a place like this.

“Keeek!”

The goblin archers aimed their bows at Victor again.

Then Victor, who became anxious, shouted.

“Hey, Zeke! “Please look at that goblin first!”

“You mean those goblins?! It’s impossible… ! Big spiders are surrounding from the front….”

“Then what should we do? “Let’s both die here?!”

“… ….”

During the conversation, a Big Spider flew towards Victor.

Victor forced his arm with the arrow stuck in it and blocked Big Spider’s attack with his great sword.

The goblin archers shot arrows at Victor one after another.

-Papak!

“Ugh!”

Victor moved quickly and barely avoided the arrow.

With blood flowing from his injured arm, Victor thought that he would be at a disadvantage if he continued this fight.

“Damn it! What are you doing?! Ji… !”

Victor looks back and urgently calls out to Zeke.

“Uh… ?”

But it was strange.

When I turned around, Zeke wasn’t there.

Victor, dumbfounded, looked across the road he had just come from.

And it froze in that state.

“Z, Zeke… ?”

Zeke was running away.

His figure was already moving away, turning into a dot and disappearing.

“Zeekuuu-!”

Victor shouted loudly and tried to stop Zeke, who was running away.

Zeke was just running without even looking back.

“Gasp, pant….”

I was just about to run out of stamina.

As soon as a group of goblin archers appeared and Victor was injured, Zeke felt it.

There is no chance of winning.

Of course, I didn’t know what the outcome would be if I had covered Victor and continued the fight.

But, Zeke didn’t even consider that possibility.

From the beginning, he thought about running away just in time.

Monaka would have died.

He himself left Monaca behind in a group of demonic beasts.

I had no idea that I would have miraculously survived like in the movies.

If it weren’t for that situation, he might have followed Victor to find Monaca.

Now that I knew that Monaca was dead, it was pointless to go looking for any more companions.

Andrei is already dead, and if you look for him, all you will find is damned little Sian.

Zeek had no reason to risk his life to look for Sian.

… Even Zeke was dissatisfied with his design and was disgusted at best.

Zeek has always lived in this society with a wide gap between the rich and the poor and has always hated wealthy nobles.

Xian was born as a noble nobleman, but he grew up receiving all kinds of money and love, and then thought of him as nothing more than a young boy who joined the party without thinking to earn pocket money.

Skills are… It seemed a bit much, but I didn’t like the showiness.

I thought that even that skill must have been a trick learned while playing around at an academy attended by young masters from rich families.

“You little dog… ! “You damn little bastard!”

Also, crucially, I thought that Sian was using his face to spite his own Monaca, despite the seemingly insignificant subject.

“It’s all because of that damn kid! Not being able to save Monica! Damn! “Jeezee!!”

Zeek ran and gritted his teeth.

As I ran, I soon arrived at a narrow space.

“I thought it was around here…” !”

Zeke moved forward, groping the wall.

Then, Zeke felt a different feel from a regular stone beak.

“I found it!”

When he removed his hand, there was a colorless magic stone attached to the cave wall.

Zeek saw him and hurried away with a crooked smile.

“It works… It works….”

Zeek diligently touched the magic stone with both hands.

“… ….”

But there was no reaction to the magic stone.

“What, what! Work… ! Make it work! f*ck!!”

Zeek took out his anger by pounding the magic stone with both fists.

But there was no reaction from the magic stone either.

“Wow… Why, why not… Uh?”

At that time, Zeke remembered something.

While drinking at the Adventurer’s Guild, I heard something from somewhere at the table next to me.

There are magic stones that work right away when you touch them, and there are magic stones that work only when you infuse them with magic.

“Magic power… ?”

But Zeke didn’t know how to control his magical powers.

He couldn’t write, and he didn’t think he would ever write again.

As for magical power, he knew that Andrei, who had been assisting him, could use it.

“… ….”

Zeek soon let go of the magic stone and muttered.

“Little… I need to find that damn kid….”

Apparently, I overheard her Monaka once replying that her realm was her 3 star.

I don’t know if he was bluffing, but right now I had no choice but to rely on that small possibility.

Zeek placed one hand on the wall, grabbed one of his legs that was limping due to overexertion, and started walking back the way he came.

***

“… “Where are we going?”

While I was walking along the cave path, I once again came across a group of Big Spiders.

We did not encounter each other.

Found from afar. I was recovering as I had just finished the previous battle, and I noticed something strange about their movements, so I decided to chase after them.

It was definitely strange.

It’s not enough that there are goblins in this underground labyrinth, but there are big spiders working together with the goblins….

I could only explain it as artificial.

“Sssss? “Self.”

“Sssss.”

A group of Big Spiders appear to be communicating and move around busily.

I continued to follow the group.

5 Minutes. 10 Minutes. 30 Minutes.

I had no idea where they were going like that, and it was difficult to follow them while holding my breath so as not to be noticed.

Soon, a group of Big Spiders entered a cave.

‘… Is that the final destination?’

I silenced the sound of footsteps and confirmed that the entire group of Big Spiders had entered the cave.
