Episode 42 – Purple

I came out to go to the gymnasium, but I can’t just touch Kkami forever.

When I gently push the cami that was sleeping on my lap to the side, it meows as if grumbling.

Eventually, while walking to the gymnasium, Kkami chased after her and banged her head on her ankle.

After all, it was a weekday morning when most students were taking classes, so the gymnasium was empty.

It felt strange to be alone in the vast gymnasium, which was crowded with people every time I came.

Just as I was about to enter the room with the same illusion artifacts as last time.

My hands were shaking and I couldn’t reach the handle.

“…… f*ck.”

I was kidnapped into a labyrinth while training in this a few days ago.

I believed only in the development of [Oeyoungdoe] And of course I never imagined that something like this would happen at this time.

I went between life and death several times without proper preparation.

The body of a student named ‘Yoon Da-min’ that I saw with Kania.

If she hadn’t been lucky enough to meet Kania, she could have been attacked by the Chimera and become that herself.

After getting out of the labyrinth, while I was lying around in the dormitory, I thought I was fine.

My breath stops when I try to enter the place where I was kidnapped.

Moreover, since the development of [Oeyeongdeo] Has already been twisted once, it would not be strange if they were kidnapped once again.

‘Shall we just practice swordsmanship in the general room?’

Just when she was about to turn her body around, Kkami cried meowing beneath her.

Seeing the bright eyes looking at me or the cute cry, it probably meant that Kami was standing still and doing something.

Somehow it didn’t go in and it sounded like a question about what I was doing.

Somehow, just looking at Kkami gave me courage.

She reached out her hand, which had stopped in the air, grabbed her by the doorknob, and opened the door.

A bright white space.

It’s not a labyrinth, it’s the inside of an ordinary fantasy training room.

My chest, which seemed to be tightly blocked, becomes comfortable.

As she lets out her sigh of relief alone, Kkami, who runs into the training room excitedly, meows as if urging her.

… Isn’t that a really normal cat?

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything eaten…….

Always keep clean and walk around, so that even if you keep it from touching it, there may be someone who takes care of it.

… Isn’t it strange that stray cats are always clean?

‘When I think about it, I seem to be able to understand everything he says.’

When called, he comes, and when told to do something like headbutt or hand, he does it with excitement.

At first, I thought it was just a smart cat, but it may not be just that.

Turns out, it might be another animal that resembles a cat…….

‘Since it is a fantasy world, there is a possibility.’

Standing in front of the door and walking away, Kkami meows again and urges you.

Laughing at that figure, I stepped into the training room, and excited camis came running to me and circled around me.

“But what are you doing here?”

Since it’s fantasy training anyway, Kkami has nothing to do here.

Rather, it can be dangerous, so shouldn’t we let it go?

As I was thinking about that, Kami, as if reading my thoughts, stuck in the corner of the training room and stared at me.

In the end, I decided not to let him out because he seemed to be appealing to stay calm.

There is also a [Sixth sense], So if Kkami becomes dangerous to my movement, I can stop it.

Manipulate illusion artifacts.

‘The target is only me. Difficulty level… To level 60.’

It’s a level of difficulty that I cleared right before entering the labyrinth, but there was something I wanted to check.

At the time, I barely succeeded in defeating the golem, but I was dragged into the labyrinth and went through life and death and achieved a lot of growth.

Actually, even when I checked it at the health room, it was higher than the last time I checked it.

I want to feel exactly how strong I have become.

Overall stats: C-

[It is weakly bound with Kania.]

A situation where we are looking at the C-grade soon beyond the C-grade.

It is definitely growing at a tremendous rate.

‘It’s doubtful that the [Will] Hasn’t bloomed yet.’

Are there other conditions besides what you already know?

Well, I’ve only read [Oeyeongdeo], But I haven’t played [Akanak Castle], Which only exists as a setting.

It’s rather strange to know everything.

I set the difficulty to level 60 and pressed the start button.

The surrounding space is distorted, and the pure white space changes to another place.

My heart thumps as I remember the time I was taken to the labyrinth. Thud. Thud. It rings out, and power goes into the clenched fist.

The appearance around me completely changed, and I let out the breath I had been holding.

Unlike the labyrinth where even the air was soggy and terrible, I could see the familiar level 60 background.

At the edge of the darkness, the golem walked with loud footsteps, but…….

‘… f*ck you?’

Compared to the Minotaur who fought in the labyrinth or the Chimera who guarded the doorway, he looked so weak.

Maybe it’s because he’s gotten used to the intimidation of powerful enemies.

The golem looks rather dainty.

I summoned a sword from the subspace bracelet and charged at it.

The core glows blue as if it is shooting a beam of light to block my movement.

Twisting his body slightly, he easily avoided the beam, and thrust his sword toward the core.

The golem swung her arms at me, but my sword pierced the core faster than that.

Returned to the original training room with the message that level 60 was cleared.

Sweeping her chest, she remembered the fight she had just had with the golem.

Literally, the enemies created with these fantasy artifacts were truly ‘training’.

Unlike the attacks of the enemies in the labyrinth that suddenly flew in, the glowing core was no different than saying, ‘I’m going to shoot this at you?’.

Of course, it was easy to dodge, and killing it was even simpler.

Besides, unlike in the labyrinth, there is no fear of dying in training with fantasy artifacts.

I’m not saying I want to go to the labyrinth, but I can’t train at level 60 anymore.

To survive, you need to become stronger, and to become stronger, you need better enemies.

It’s impossible to get to a situation where you can really die, but you can create stronger enemies.

Adjusted the difficulty by manipulating the artifact.

[Level 70]

Reading the manual I hadn’t seen before, the level 70 enemy was the Minotaur.

I don’t know if he’ll be as strong as the guy I met in the labyrinth.

Without hesitation, I pressed the start button.

Once again, the surrounding space is distorted.

In a dark cave. A minotaur glaring at me and snorting.

However, it was a little smaller than the one I saw in the labyrinth and had no weapons.

Of course, I didn’t feel intimidated like that guy.

The Minotaur scratched the ground with its foot several times before rushing towards me at high speed.

Just because he’s weaker than the guy I met in the labyrinth doesn’t mean he’s an easy opponent.

If it wasn’t for Kania back then, I would have died.

‘It was because of Kania that I fought the Minotaur in the first place.’

But thanks to that, I got to know Kania and became much stronger.

Manipulated [Blood Art] To create a blood sword.

As I swung my sword, a red sword shot towards the Minotaur that was running towards me, and the guy hurriedly rolled to the side and barely avoided it.

But it doesn’t give me a chance to wake up.

Continuously shot blood at the Minotaur.

Perhaps it was not enough to inflict serious injuries with only sloppy blood, but the Minotaur was still alive and well, although it inflicted several wounds.

At that moment, I wanted to mix dark sword skills like I did with Chimera, but I was just lucky at that time.

However, there is one thing that has not been tried in the Labyrinth.

Mixing magic with blood.

Blue sword energy is created and it collides with blood energy.

They bump into each other, bounce off each other, absorb and push each other repeatedly as if trying to eat each other.

Mana and blood, which I am still unfamiliar with, are controlled as much as possible and merged into one sword skill.

The combination of purple swordsmanship reminded me of Dina’s pupils.

After a moment of relaxation, the Minotaur shakes his head.

I hear a harsh nasal sound and saliva drips from my mouth.

Completely conscious, the Minotaur started charging towards me.

I thought about just swinging the sword normally, but maybe thanks to the rise in the magic stat, I came up with something that seemed possible.

Lower your stance by widening the gap between your feet, and place the Shinam sword horizontally so that the tip of the sword faces the Minotaur.

Then, by changing the shape of the sword, the sharpness of the blade part disappeared, and only the tip of the sword became sharper and sharper.

The distance with the Minotaur, which was far away, gradually narrowed, and before I knew it, it was about 5m closer.

A purple flash exploded from the tip of the sword and pierced the enemy.
