How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 139: Pre-preparation
Crazy?!
The single-edged sword shook on its own.
Jung Yu-shin threw the single-edged sword away and jumped up from his seat.
“What, what is it? What the hell?!”
My heart pounded.
My heart pounded rapidly.
I was so surprised that even the faint remaining fatigue disappeared.
Was this what it felt like to witness a home appliance that had been working well until now muttering on its own in the middle of the night?
What is this?
It’s normal for a single-edged sword to shake on its own.
I observed the red single-edged sword in silence for a while.
“...”
No way.
Goosebumps rose up as one thought crossed my mind.
‘Did it get possessed by a vengeful spirit because it killed too many people?’
What if the salty liquid coming out of the blade was actually the tears of the deceased who had become a spirit under the sword?
“··· That makes sense.”
It’s a possible story.
The number of people who were cut and stabbed with this single-edged sword was well over 60.
They were all worth dying for. They were all scum who did all sorts of trash, so they had no regrets.
But weren’t they already dead?
Even if they fought each other to the death in this world, there was no reason to be hostile in the afterlife.
He hesitated and opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry, you vengeful spirits who died unjustly. I had no personal feelings.”
Then the single-edged sword trembled. As if telling him to grab the handle, only that part vibrated severely.
“Are you telling me to grab the sword?”
A slap.
‘It’s strangely floating.’
He carefully grabbed the handle.
At that very moment.
‘Hoo hoo. This body.’
A low, husky woman’s voice was heard in his head.
“Huh!!!”
Jeong Yu-shin dropped the single-edged sword in shock.
Crunch.
“Are you crazy? You should turn on your flashlight and come in!”
Surprised aside, the magic power was sucked out of his body.
He immediately changed his mind.
It wasn’t a recently possessed spirit.
It was an unknown entity that had been around for a while.
Jung Yu-shin gritted his teeth.
‘Aldain, you crazy bastard.’
What kind of resentment did he have to hand over a possessed magic sword to soak a person?
The back of his head felt cold.
He thought he should go and ask about it right away, even tomorrow morning.
Jung Yu-shin took a deep breath for a while to calm his mind.
‘Whew. No.’
Aldain clearly said that.
He himself doesn’t know what function this single-edged sword has.
And.
If this guy is an evil spirit, there’s no need to wait until morning.
You have the Sacred Weapon.
If it was a magic that was half physical and half divine, it would be possible to drive out evil spirits.
Jung Yu-shin glared at the single-edged sword and chanted.
[Sacred Weapon]
He didn’t imagine a separate weapon.
He put his index and middle fingers together to make a sword and added magic to it.
The burning golden flames gathered on his fingers and shook quietly.
“Whew.”
He took a deep breath.
He slowly swept the outer surface of the single-edged sword.
‘Whew!’
The drawing trembled and trembled.
Jung Yu-shin’s lips smiled.
‘Good.’
It was effective.
“You’re a foolish evil spirit.”
‘...’
There was no answer. There was just a sticky liquid on the drawing.
He slowly swept the drawing with his finger and then slightly closed it.
Bang!
When he hit it hard, the drawing began to whine.
‘Sleep, wait a minute!’
The woman’s voice rang in his head again.
The low, husky voice seemed to tickle his brain.
Jung Yu-shin’s face frowned.
He had never killed a woman with this single-edged sword.
‘I’m sure. It’s an old evil spirit.’
“Where did you come from? No. I don’t want to hear it. There is no compromise with evil spirits.”
According to the experience of the forest area, these guys’ specialty is deception. It means they are bad spirits who try to deceive people and gain profit.
“Get out of this single-edged sword.”
‘Listen to me!’
A woman’s urgent voice was heard.
Jung Yu-shin ignored it all and snapped his fingers again.
Thump!
‘Hit!’
“Get out!”
‘Go...go? Where do you want me to go? I...I!’
“Go!”
Ting!
As he hit the sword several times, the liquid seeping out of the drawing gradually increased.
‘W... Wait?! There?’
“Is this the weak point?”
The handle of the sword.
He hit the part # Nоvеlight # corresponding to the rain guard based on the double-edged sword.
He figured out the weak point.
He gathered strength in his clenched fingers and hit the last time.
“Go!”
Ground!
‘G... Geuug?! Go... Go! Hoooooong!!!’
The woman’s single cry echoed in his head.
The single-edged sword trembled for a moment and then became silent.
“Is it over?”
‘♥’
He couldn’t hear anything.
Jeong Yu-shin looked down at the single-edged sword quietly.
Even after about 30 minutes, there was no sign of anything coming from the single-edged sword.
After returning the sword to its original position in the bookcase, he leaned it against the edge of the bed and lay down.
The evil spirit sucked out all his magic power, so his energy was completely drained.
He closed his eyes.
‘Crazy labyrinth city. I can’t let my guard down.’
Darkness came.
* * *
After the quiet dawn, when the warm summer sunlight came in through the window,
Jeong Yu-shin opened his eyes.
Knock knock.
Someone was knocking on the door.
He got up from the bed, sat down, and washed his face.
‘I’m tired.’
“Who are you?”
“It’s Ethel.”
“It’s Luna.”
Jeong Yu-shin smiled faintly.
“Come in.”
Squeak.
The door opened and Ethel and Luna came into the room.
“Scar Oppa!”
Luna flapped her yellow tail and ran into Jung Yu-shin’s arms, hugging her tightly.
Luna smelled soft and pleasant.
Jung Yu-shin raised his hand and stroked Luna’s head.
Thank goodness.
‘You didn’t lose your smile.’
But isn’t it a bit much to stick close to her and sniff her?
Are the water people like that?
“Lu, Luna! What are you doing to your benefactor?!”
Edel was embarrassed and stopped Luna.
“No. Just leave her alone.”
Jung Yu-shin wrapped Luna in a blanket and hugged her, then sat on the edge of the bed.
“Later?”
Luna stared blankly up at Jung Yu-shin’s face with only her head sticking out like a caterpillar.
Regardless, Jung Yu-shin looked up at Edel and opened his mouth.
“I took care of all the bad guys who were harassing the store last night. I don’t think you need to worry about this anymore.”
Edel bowed deeply to Jung Yu-shin.
“Thank you, Ska. I owe you another debt.”
“Debt? Don’t say that.”
Jung Yu-shin patted Luna’s head and replied.
“I still want to repay you. Is there... is there anything you want?”
Edel’s face turned slightly red.
Jung Yu-shin held Luna in his arms and thought for a moment.
Repayment.
‘That’s not what I wanted.’
She didn’t do it because she wanted something in return. She just moved because she wanted to protect the smiles of the people around her.
The scene where Luna was hit made her head heat up.
Thinking back, she felt like she killed those bastards too easily.
It was even more bitter to show off his methods and power to the people of the eastern district while killing those punks.
Of course, he didn’t mind at all if it was to save his acquaintances.
However, he meant that he didn’t mind showing off his abilities to those he was going to kill and potential enemies.
“Brother! Then what is it like to sleep in our mother’s arms?”
Sleeping in her arms?
Jeong Yu-shin’s mouth opened slightly.
“Lu, Luna!”
“Mom’s breasts are soft and fluffy, so they feel good!”
Luna said with her eyes sparkling brightly.
“...”
No. That’s a bit much.
Edel’s body, which had been suffering from a fatal illness, gradually recovered and regained its original appearance.
A voluptuous body that didn’t seem like a widow.
Despite that, her slender waist and slender neck.
On top of that, her incredibly large breasts were quiet and it was strangely sexy, intertwined with the elegant atmosphere of Ethel.
“...”
Jung Yu-shin and Ethel glanced at each other and turned their gazes.
“Big! The conversation has gone a bit off topic, but I will not pay you back. I am satisfied with just buying a good potion.”
Luna puffed out her cheeks as if she was upset.
“Ah. Oppa Scar will regret it!”
Jung Yu-shin nodded inwardly.
‘Yeah. I think so too.’
At that moment.
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door. Jung Yu-shin turned his head and looked at the door.
‘There are a lot of visitors today.’
“Who are you?”
“It’s Deulchangko.”
“Come in.”
A wild boar-like man came in.
Deulchangko bowed his head when he saw Luna and Ethel in the room.
“Mister!”
Luna wriggled out of Jung Yu-shin's arms and ran to hug Dul-chan-ko.
"Oh my!"
A fatherly smile appeared on Dul-chan-ko's lips.
Seeing the warm, uncle-like smile, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Did Dul-chan-ko fight with Ska Oppa?"
Luna asked, wagging her tail.
"Of course. Ska-nim fought really well."
"Wow! That's what I want to hear!"
"Of course. I'll definitely tell you later."
"Luna, let's go out."
"Yeah! I understand."
Luna ran back and hugged Jung Yu-shin.
"Thank you, Ska Oppa."
Jung Yu-shin patted Luna's head. Her small, cute fox ears perked up.
"Don't mention it."
If I could just keep their smiles until they went home, that was enough.
“Edel, the pharmacy has been cleaned up. You can go back and rest comfortably.”
Edel nodded at Deulchangko’s words.
“Thank you. I don’t know what to do for always helping me like this.”
Deulchangko smiled.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s something I like to do.”
Edel and Luna bowed their heads and left the room.
Creak.
Thump.
The door closed, leaving only Jung Yu-shin and Deulchangko behind.
“What’s the reward?”
“Edel, you mean the pharmacy? I put a lot of money under the counter.”
“Okay. Good job.”
Deulchangko held out a large pouch.
“Here’s the price for selling the highest grade magic stone. Aldain took about 30% of it.”
Jung Yu-shin accepted the pouch.
“It’s heavy.”
“The sales price was around 100 gold coins.”
Jung Yu-shin’s eyes widened.
“10 times the price of a high-grade magic stone?” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
“Yes. 30 out of 100 gold coins are taken as labor fees, making a total of 70 gold coins.”
“Is our Aldain CEO a little short on money?”
Deulchangko scratched his head.
“That’s the usual amount for consignment sales.”
“I understand.”
Jung Yu-shin placed the bag of gold coins on the bed.
‘You’ve made it.’
Now that he has this much money, he probably doesn’t have to worry about money for the time being.
“Deulchangko, I have one favor to ask.”
“Yes. Go ahead.”
“Is there a place that sells high-quality weapons?”
“What kind exactly are you talking about?”
Jung Yu-shin explained what happened in the forest area.
“There are weapons that won’t break even if hit by a troll.”
Deulchangko tilted his head and opened his mouth.
“It seems to be a problem with the materials. I think you can make weapons with pretty good ores. They’re a bit expensive, though.”
“How much does it cost?”
“The average cost of equipment for a mid-level explorer is about 50 gold coins.”
“Crazy.”
Jung Yu-shin’s mouth dropped open.
The equipment just sucks up money.
“Are you interested in buying it?”
“Let’s talk about it later. I’ll have to discuss it with Karin.”
“Understood.”
Jung Yu-shin grabbed Deulchangko who was about to leave.
“Wait.”
“Yes.”
“Is there a secret hidden in this red single-edged sword?”
“Uh...yes?”
Deulchangko’s body froze.
“This guy spoke to me last night? It must be an evil spirit.”
“So...what did you do?”
“I exorcised him.”
At Jung Yu-shin’s words, Dulchangko’s eyes widened.
“Huh?! How?”
“I bounced the blueprint with the Sacred Weapon, but it went somewhere.”
“Uh···.”
Dulchangko opened his mouth and nodded.
“I heard that Aldain’s Tao has some strange functions. It may be surprising, but I’m sure it won’t harm the user. But I’ll still report it to Aldain.”
“Really?”
Jung Yu-shin tilted his head while stroking his chin.
The woman who was laughing gloomily in a low, husky voice wasn’t an evil spirit?
“Whatever it is, I think I did it, so tell them not to worry too much.”
“···Yes. I’ll tell you that too.”
The dagger bowed and left the room.
Jung Yu-shin sat on the bed, still looking at the red single-edged sword.
It didn’t tremble or spurt liquid like last night.
If it weren’t for its overwhelming cutting power and light weight, it would have been thrown away immediately.
“Yeah. If not me, who would use this weapon?”
As he reached out and fiddled with the single-edged sword.
Clang.
The door opened and Karin came in.
Wearing a white sleeveless shirt and slim-fit cotton pants.
It was the outfit Karin often wore when she worked.
“Ska, eat.”
“Okay.”
Jung Yu-shin got up from his seat, put the single-edged sword on his waist, and looked up at Karin.
“Karin.”
“Why?”
“Thank you.”
Karin’s face turned slightly red.
“What? Why?”
“You guarded the inn when I was away. Stick your belly out. I’ll kiss you.”
“Whew!”
Karin exhaled roughly.
“Jang, don’t play around!”
Karin turned around urgently. Her tail was wagging quickly from side to side.
‘Embarrassing.’
I followed Karin down to the first floor and sat at the counter.
Breakfast was black bread, baked potatoes, and hamburger steak with lots of cheese.
Karin rested her chin on her hand and looked down at Jung Yu-shin eating.
“You took care of those drug dealers and made money. What are you going to do from now on?”
“What are you going to do?”
Jung Yu-shin smiled and continued.
“We should go to the labyrinth.”
‘I’ll prepare thoroughly. I won’t get caught this time.’
Jung Yu-shin’s eyes shone brightly.
