Pick Me Up-Episode 77
# 77
77. Labyrinth(2)
"Labyrinth.?"
Jenna blinked..
I nodded and spoke.
"It means it's not an ordinary mansion. The passage will be twisted like a maze.."
A typical navigation mission ends by traversing the field a few times, but If navigation in the labyrinth field appeared, it is pretty troubling.
'If you don't get to the designated place, you can't get out.'
It was likely to be an exit..
Or the next layer of the labyrinth. The latter meant that the labyrinth itself was a link stage. It could lead in one place up to the 20th floor. Iolka asked.
"Where do we go??"
"Wait. Until Nerissa returns.."
When you see Nerissa invisible, you first enter one of the intersections It seemed..
I will be back soon at a time not far away. I leaned my back against the wall and closed my eyes. Each of the three members loosened their posture.
"This is the first time I've ever seen a place like this. There are no people, the road is strange. The other mission was easy to handle only the enemies that appear in front of you.."
Jenna put her mouth out..
"Ditto. It's not fun.."
"Do you have fun with your mission??"
"I won't be bored. I thought I'd fight a stronger enemy from the 16th floor.."
The mission shape changed a little bit..
If the sub-stage before that was short-term, it would end in less than 10 minutes, even if the sub-stage was long. From the 16th floor, the configuration has changed. There were times when I couldn't get out of the labyrinth for days after I searched. In the worst case, they were trapped there and the party was wiped out..
"Relax your posture, but don't let the tension go. I don't have any enemies at all. It's definitely here.."
"I'm glad that's it.."
Belquist's sword shone coolly.
And five minutes later, Nerissa returned from the central path.
Nerissa bowed to me. I spoke right out.
"What about the front.?"
"As a result of going to the middle corridor, the intersection leads to a place. Same. It's not such a complex structure."
"Thank god, then.."
"I don't think there are any enemies or traps, but it's a little strange.……."
Nerissa blurted out her face.
I narrowed my eyebrows.
"Strange thing?"
"It was hard for me to judge. Once you go, you'll find out.."
"Then you have to see for yourself. All weather."
Three people rose from their seats..
Nerissa stood in front of him, and behind him we formed the same formation as the old one. I went through the middle passage..
Soon after, the passage ended.
At the end of the passage is a circular small hall.
As reported by Nerissa, on either side of the entrance we came out, left and right, respectively There was a passage. The three intersections were a structure that merged into this place.
'It wasn't a complicated maze..'
If you were in a different place, one choice miss would blow you hours It may be..
The materials we had were not suitable for long-term missions.
I looked around the hall..
Luxurious ornaments are placed everywhere, and red carpets on the floors Laid. The landscape from the window was still ebon. There was another corridor at the front of the entrance where we came out.
And in the corner of the hall someone was down. Nerissa whispered to me.
"Author. I think I'm conscious, but I don't respond to this. He's in a strange state.."
"I'll go.."
I approached him with my sword stretched out..
I'm leaning my head against the wall and I can't see my face. I could see that it was a woman. Gradually the distance became closer.
"Uh.........................……."
The woman in the maid's uniform was making a strange moan.
I don't even move when I approach. The sound from his mouth was like laughter or crying.
"Uwek!"
The woman vomited something out of her mouth..
Black blood. The thick, turbid liquid blackened the carpet. The woman fell down and repeated groans and hemostasis. After watching for a minute, I turned my back on the woman.
"If you don't touch it first, it's no more.."
Once the enemy is notified, the display window does not appear.
The state was not normal, but it still seemed to be a harmless NPC to us.
Belquist pointed his sword at the woman..
"You're suspicious. Wouldn't it be better to kill him? If you don't want to kill a woman, I'll do it.."
"Leave it to me. It's a shame not to touch anything suspicious.."
There is also a probability that it is a trap pattern in which a bad event occurs.
It doesn't work as a benefit, but statistics show that this is a good case It was more likely that something bad would happen than it was that it would happen..
"Then I get it.."
Belquist spoke boldly and turned his sword.
Jenna, on the other hand, was staring at the woman with a look of disapproval.
"It looks very distressing. I think he's got a severe illness.."
"I want you to help me.?"
"Well, I can't. I have a nose.."
I nodded and directed the advance.
This time there was only one passage. Nerissa went ahead..
"……."
Before I left the hall, I looked back.
The woman is still down. His shoulders were faintly twitching.
'I think I've seen it somewhere..'
I'm not talking about women..
Me symptoms of throwing up black blood I've seen a few times, when I was a master There were.
That condition is called pollution. It was a curse that belonged to the worst of the many states. When I was a master, I went through a lot, but now things are different. I thought I needed to investigate when I got the opportunity..
Continue down the corridor..
Then, after walking for about 10 minutes, the hall came out again. It was the same structure as the first hall, but no people were visible. Back to the front a passage was visible. Iolka frowned.
"You're getting bored.."
"Where's the road??"
Jenna grabs the doorknob in the hall and pulls it, but it doesn't open.
The same was true elsewhere. Jenna has a small tongue.
"Chet."
"Don't complain too much. I'll be out soon.."
This labyrinth is not a difficult configuration.
It was an obvious straight route. It will not take long to reveal the exit to the next floor. Just before that something will happen. Nothing will happen.
The change happened when I tried to go through the third hole and into the fourth hole.
Nerissa, who was in charge of the front reconnaissance, gave me a different look than usual. It's coming. There was a sense of vigilance in his eyes. Nerissa said briefly.
"It's an enemy.."
Belquist touched the sword..
Jenna put an arrow in her bow, and Iolka sank her breath..
"You're in the next hall.."
"Yes. The number is seven. Dressed in armor, armed with swords, spears, and crossbows."
"You join me, too.."
Nerissa drew her sword and stood next to Jenna.
I looked back and said.
"As soon as you enter the hall, attack the enemy. The archers are Jenna and Nerissa, and the prosecutor and the other three are responsible for the spearhead. Don't make any noise from now until the battle begins.."
The four nodded.
The expression reminds me of a feeble tension. I made my way down the aisle, killing my steps as much as I could. The end of the passage was right in front. There, I heard someone talking..
I lifted my left hand across the shield and folded my fingers one by one.
It was a signal of the timing of the assault..
'Three. Two.'
Folded the last finger.
'One.'
I don't shout..
I sped up and exited the hall. I made eye contact with a man who was leaning against the wall and holding a bucket. My look shone in his eyes..
[Human soldier Lv.14] X 7
A message was displayed notifying the enemy..
'Bingo.'
I picked up the dagger I held in my left hand and threw it away.
Hooked.
The dagger was dug into the soldier's neck..
The soldier was screaming..
The soldier's throat was bleeding as he tried to point the spear next to him..
The fast-paced Belquist wielded his sword. Belquist cut one of them's throats, turned one of his bodies around, and the other. He pierced his chest. Blood was scattered along the trajectory of the sword..
Ping!
The arrow was stuck in the right eye of the soldier who was loading the crossbow.
The arrow was stuck, so it would have punctured his brain. The soldier fell into a zen position. The second arrow, which flew almost simultaneously, pierced the heart of another crossbow.
It wasn't necessary for me to organize seven people..
Every time Belquist and Nerissa dug into the ranks of the soldiers, they laid their swords. One by one fell. After that, Jenna's arrow aimed at the gap..
I looked around the hall quickly.
This is not a small hall that has been through so far, but it was the first time I was summoned here. When it was a large hall of similar size. You could see the stairs to the upstairs at the front..
'There's a gate in the rear..'
Belquist's sword smashed the last one's chest..
As soon as I see that his breath is lost, I put it on the display case. I picked up the glass beads on the stairs and threw them down..
Tsinggang!
The glass beads that hit the transparent wall were shattered and shattered.
"Iolka. Step 1 Flame magic preparation in the direction of the gate."
"Yes.?"
"If you do, do it.."
"Oh, all right.."
Iolka nodded hurriedly and recited the starter.
Flames began to envelop Iolka's entire body. Every time I muttered a brig, the flames that enveloped my body grew thicker. Belquist and Nerissa took a step back..
Rattling!
There was a loud noise, and the gate of the hall opened..
Dozens of soldiers who were waiting outside the door came in unison.
[Human soldier Lv.14] X 18
[Human Article Lv.17] X 5
There was a red glow in Iolka's eyes..
【Ignite.!】
End of Brig.
Flames hit a group of soldiers in a straight line. The soldier, who was hit by a direct fire, became Tonggui and burned. The smell of burning smoke and flesh bloomed..
"Belquist, Nerissa. Right!"
Flames swept through the center of the formation.
The enemy was scattering from side to side. Following my instructions, Belquist and Nerissa moved to the right. I was waiting in advance on the left, and I rushed out of the knight's head. It was a shield..
Puck!
Lurid knight. I shoved my sword into the crevice of the armor he wore. The bone was pierced and the texture of the visceral pie was passed to the fingertips. The knight fell without a word..
Next to the knight, a soldier stabbed me with a spear.
I ignored him and put my sword on the neck of the soldier behind him. The soldier who tried to stab the spear was pierced in the head by an arrow..
If you had hit us with a mold, it would have been a little annoying. Iolka's flames perfectly cut off the enemies. Me and Jenna shot down one by one a soldier in the flames..
The situation is the same on the right..
Belquist and Nerissa have yet to learn flame resistance, but they, too, It was not difficult to deal with isolated enemies. The soldier's body was piled up..
"Big, big, big, big.!"
The Knight, whose body was on fire, wielded his sword..
I blocked it with a shield and swung the sword strongly. The iron plate, bent with heat, was cut off, and blood gushed from the whisperer..
This is the last time..
The 23 new enemies were wiped out in less than five minutes. I immediately threw the dagger down the stairs. This time, the dagger was thrown on the carpet of the stairs..
"Ending the situation. Maintenance.."
I wiped the blood on the sword on the curtain.
Iolka hesitated..
"How did I know??"
"What do you mean??"
"A second enemy appears.."
'Is that the story?.'
The other members are sending me curious eyes to see if they are similar.
I checked that the blood of the sword was gone, and then put it in the sheath.
"It's a simple confirmation. I just used the characteristics of the wall.."
The transparent walls cannot pass through the body, as well as the objects within reach.
The staircase in the hall was an obvious passageway to the next floor, but the wall was struck. There were.
"When you wiped out the first enemy, the wall was intact.."
There are question marks on the faces of the four.
I had a light smile.
"You don't have to understand it hard.."
It was a handover using the rules in the game..
Those who don't know the existence of a game called Pick Me Up are hard to take advantage of Will.
After finishing the maintenance, I looked up the stairs.
The end of the stairway leading up was covered with darkness.
'If you go over there, you'll clear it..'
However, it takes the form of a staircase, not an exit.
It meant that a similar mission would be repeated on the next floor.
I looked at the party member and said.
"17When you come to the floor, you need to get ready for a little bit.."
"I agree. I think it's a cool mission.."
"Is it your taste to smash it all??"
"To be honest."
I laughed and went up the stairs.
As I tiptoed into the darkness at the top of the stairs, I got a message..
[Stage Clear!]
['Belkist (★★)', ' Nerissa (★★)', Level Up!]
[Compensation – 50,000 G]
[MVP - ' Iolka(★★★)']
