8th floor – Lv. 415 Lava Hammer Battalion(1)
On a cold dawn, there is no choice but to make a fire in a frozen field where snow has piled up and has not melted.
The firewood brought a mountable one among the wreckage of the broken fortress.
No matter which direction you go, you won’t come out of the village of Greenskin, so today is a night out.
The plains are dangerous. Even cigarette lights at night are said to be visible from several kilometers away.
Needless to say, it’s about a bonfire.
But with a bit of magic, it’s no problem. It doesn’t even have to be as perfect as [Transparency].
A magic circle may be just a simple circle in some cases. It’s just a symbol squished on the ground.
This isn’t even magic. It is simply a miscellaneous technique that distorts and blocks light to some extent.
This is one of the important reasons why the wizard of the labyrinth should study magic on his own. These miscellaneous skills are not implemented as skills.
There was no life in the labyrinth of the gaming era.
It was simply an aggregation of AIs that only work when you approach them.
So, it seems that there was no room for such ordinary magic to intervene as one of the skills.
My frozen hands are melting.
A warm fire is like a lifeline.
This is the part that many people misunderstand, but thick winter clothing doesn’t create missing heat.
It just slows the cooling down.
No matter how much you wear, there is no way you can survive the sub-zero cold without lighting a fire.
Resistance skills such as [Cold Resistance] become increasingly important for this reason. Extreme environments appear more and more frequently.
In that sense, the undead vampires were not bound by the cold.
He looked like a small ten-year-old kid, but he wasn’t tired at all, and he didn’t get cold.
In fact, he doesn’t even breathe. Food is only human blood.
Even when everyone was exhausted and sat around the fire, the little vampire was no different from the first.
But that doesn’t mean the body doesn’t freeze. Undead races tend to be insensitive to things that are not directly related to life.
I could see my fingertips trying to freeze a little.
I called him to light a fire.
The little boy flopped on my lap as if it was a familiar seat.
And then he says
“It’s warm. It’s the first time I’ve held a warm father’s arms.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever been hugged before becoming a vampire.”
Vampires have a low body temperature. Even if we hold hands, it will feel cool rather than warm.
The girl’s eyes as she sees a little vampire sulking with new sensations are unusual.
different from jealousy. Yes, rather than that. A feeling that I can’t stand seeing cute things.
“mister.”
“why?”
“I’ve always wanted my sister to have it since I was little.”
“It’s mom.”
“No, that’s. Well, it’s good as it is. Well, it’s a daughter. I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“Ugh.”
I’m glad it’s been confirmed that it’s not a parent.
No, actually, it’s not physically possible, but it’s true that it was creepy.
I had never even held a woman’s hand outside.
In the labyrinth, I’ve tried dating and so on, but that doesn’t mean I’ve never had children in my life.
Giving birth to a child in a labyrinth is neither a child nor a parent.
“It’s the first time I’ve been called Daddy.”
“I thought you hadn’t done anything before.”
“I’ve tried raising children. But even then, my name was Uncle.”
Acceptance must have limits. But I don’t know why I told you to call me Daddy first.
This episode is as usual in a sense, but it’s really new.
It might be emotional as well.
It’s not uncommon for a party member to feel more than a comrade, but you were dating a high school kid like this?
I bow my head for a moment and look up at the sky.
It’s nice to feel the magical energy slowly draining away as a camouflage to hide the light.
A warm bonfire feels good. It feels good to see the little kid in his arms wiggle shyly.
And it’s nice to see the girl in front of you smiling slightly, spreading the wings of delusion.
Suddenly realizing, I feel like I’m going through a tougher tutorial than ever, but it’s a lot more relaxed than the difficulty.
“Well, it’s not bad.”
It cannot be successful if it becomes a machine that thoroughly repeats design and execution. I realized that about 80 years ago.
It was 60 years ago that I realized that I need to be human to a certain extent even for my own heart.
It was 40 years ago that I gave up my feelings as a gamer and the stubbornness of thinking only of me and the labyrinth.
Nevertheless, it was 20 years ago that I thought that the remaining small inefficient parts and necessary parts were separated and organized.
I get closer to clear every year. Sometimes we retreated, but we went further than that.
Change is a good thing. Even if it’s not from some mantis monster.
If you don’t accept it, you die. Die as a challenger in the labyrinth.
“Come on.”
“Are you service?”
“okay.”
A girl comes over to me and sits down. As if to share the warmth, the body is held tightly together and does not fall off.
No, it’s hand rubbing. Is this guy a cat?
Hey, you’re dating anyway. It’s different from the future of the decision, but it’s not that I don’t really like it.
Hang on, looking back, this little vampire informs me of the future, so I feel like I’m being sloppy.
Hmm, maybe it’s a ruse? A future girl?
This is a time paradox. The question of which came first the chicken or the egg.
What happens in the future affects the past, so the past also… … .
Oh, it’s hard.
They all lead their weary bodies into their sleeping bags.
Although it is a flat land, the ground was dug and somehow made a space to shelter from the wind.
On top of that, a little vampire puts on the cloaks brought from the future. A tent is a tent, but it is an underground tent.
“I practiced a lot to keep the fire low.”
“Oh yeah?”
The little vampire was in charge of heating.
Now that I’ve heard about the general situation, go to sleep and think about the rest.
I ran through the night for several days and several days. If you don’t want to die, it’s time to rest.
A little vampire who didn’t have to sleep stood up for the night.
* * *
When I woke up, I felt a little better. I guess my brain wasn’t working properly because I was overworked.
I pushed the girl who was the first to stick around.
“Wow, calm down. Even if the future is like that, I can’t guarantee that it will be the same here. Time travel in this neighborhood is a parallel world with multiple time axes.”
“But, yesterday, you did well. They say we’ll be dating in the future!”
“Let’s get older.”
“Is that even important in the labyrinth?”
“I am a Korean citizen.”
“Pee. It’s going to fall anyway.”
He pretends to be upset, but he’s been smiling since morning.
Do you think there was a strange certainty? These days, I wonder if the love offensive that seems to have withered a little has been reinvigorated… … .
It’s hard. It’s hard.
Last night, everyone was able to sleep very comfortably. The warmth was a cosy, reminiscent of an ondol room.
I can’t believe it’s homeless.
It seems it wasn’t a lie that the little vampire practiced a lot of fire handling.
“At first, I didn’t like learning magic, so I didn’t work hard. So I didn’t help.”
“Did something happen?”
Suddenly, she shut her mouth and went to the girl. and spanked.
“I’m not talking about that now.”
“Oh my God, it’s so cute!”
Well, I left it like that and received the information that the future me was supposed to pass on.
It was carefully recorded in the memo, but I spit it out from the first sentence.
“Wow, one of the forces that divides the era of space exploration above the planet is the Gobletaria Federation?”
“The goblins… they’re not at the level that survived, but they’re amazing.”
“The hard work is worth it. Boss.”
In particular, the youngest, who nodded his head, seemed to be thinking of various things.
If you listen to it, it seems that there have been many stories of workers being exploited strangely in the original world over there… … .
Does this make sense?
I glance at the girl again. Whatever it is, good or bad, things are rolling in a big way.
god of fortune In the game, only the existence is known, but a god who is not clearly described. In fact, it might have been just one of the delayed updates.
It is clear that the mention of Goddess is also related to it in some way.
The girl itself is a collection of information that I did not know even when I was playing outside.
I’ve had a peek at it, but it’s completely clean.
I don’t know anything either.
Still, it’s a good thing for the first time.
“Anyway, the universe is a very big deal. If it wasn’t for the Temple of Time, I don’t think I could have broken through it properly.”
Really looking at it, every single one is a spectacle. Do you have to consider space warfare?
As such, future information is more valuable than anything else. From now on, we all know what will happen next.
Of course, the little vampire holding the girl over there right now is different from the timeline it came from, so it won’t be as it is.
It may be slightly different and different.
However, it is a great benefit to secure accuracy beyond the prediction obtained by simply collecting information.
The hunter also seemed very happy. Don’t let it ruin your mood.
The god of nature has brought good news if it is good news.
[The God of Nature reports that the Lava Hammer Battalion has finally stopped the offensive.]
The castle was actually captured on the first day. Since then, there has been a lot of damage. It was just a special battalion, but the border was shattered by it.
Perhaps they were concerned about the supply, but they did not advance any further, but the difference in weight was clearly revealed only in the first skirmish.
[Nature’s god says more fairies are gathering towards the human realm.]
The fairy also seemed to solidify the last line of defense through union with humans.
I had to worry.
There are several options given right now.
The future me did not do anything foolish to record every single event that occurred in detail.
Another timeline must be approached with a very similar concept of a parallel world. They may be the same in a broad sense, but they may be different in detail.
Even if I know the future, I still have free will. Most cases are unconfirmed.
Rather, the amplitude of the discrepancy will increase because the present self has come to know the future.
Time travel is like an endless chain where you don’t know where it all started.
If I annihilate the Gobletarias right now, the development after the 10th floor will also change.
what would be best Suddenly, the amount of information increased too much.
“Should I go back and blow up the Lava Hammer Battalion?”
[The God of Nature says that it is not a crisis that requires immediate management of the Spirit King.]
“Is that so? Then, I’ll have to take care of the saint first. Then there will be no need for the Spirit King to come out.”
After thinking about it, I talked to the King of Spirits, whom I had signed a contract with for a long time.
Although he cannot even dare to summon him by himself, his ego is extremely weak.
If left unattended, the child will grow crooked. It must be properly nurtured. It is also more influential in terms of firepower than expected.
After trying for a while, I sighed.
“I’m pissed. You bastard.”
Talk to them more often and take care of them. Spirits are annoying creatures.
The small dragon-shaped spirit doesn’t seem to have any intention of responding to conversations for the time being.
Once I figured out the limit of the little vampire’s abilities. Magical qualities are also checked. Greater than expected
The girl was amazed at the existence of colorful magic as she looked at it.
“Then, let’s go first.”
The goblins set off for the forest, led by the god of nature overnight. Precisely, it took the form of a revelation from the Goddess of Chaos.
That small group will become the great communist federation of the future. My future description is like the Evil Empire, but I don’t know if this is okay.
But that dog is our dog.
The little vampire from the future said that he was currently captured by the Stormcry Brigade.
How come I couldn’t find it? The problem was that they were captured by the Orcs early.
It seems that Twitton has already gone back to the second floor and has been recruited through me, who killed Kakrish.
All hands were in hand. Let’s quickly harpoon the 8th floor and prepare the 10th floor.
This is a boss battle that may be more difficult than the universe.
“By the way, no matter how fast you run from now on, the Stormcry Brigade and the Lava Hammer Battalion will join you.”
This is an unavoidable issue.
According to the experience of the future little vampire, Tedund has already cooperated completely favorably with me.
This is not going to go wrong. That part is no longer a problem. Well done future me!
But at the same time, he said that there was a fierce battle until the tangent.
It is said that the little vampire himself at that time had no will to live.
After losing his family and wandering alone, starving, he was captured by the orcs.
So I just knew that there was a battle and that the fight was over, but I didn’t know the details.
The information I gave in the future contains only content to infer that the saint was safely secured, but it is not specific.
These are the details of the future and the past that can be changed.
I checked by putting my hand into the bosom that [Human Card] was in.
It feels as smooth as plastic on your fingertips.
The immediate goal is clear.
Between the Lava Hammer Battalion and the remnants of the Stormcry Brigade who joined, how should I make contact with Tedund and convince the saint?
There’s no way our party can win against the Lavahammer Battalion in a normal way.
If the human [hero unit] and [Great Saint May-Lilith] come back, there is no problem.
persuade and re-humanize. That’s a win condition.
A hero unit is such an existence.
And one old problem has been solved.
“Isn’t Barbaroi dead in your future?”
“It’s not dead, but it’s… a little different.”
Did you see what else was strangely related to this? Let’s find out later.
“Anyway, it doesn’t look like I’m worried about being ruled by Barbarois. That’s what I was most worried about.”
A clan’s vampires are the property of the clan master.
The moment I become part of the same clan to use Barbaroi’s power, a number under his control arises.
It was a very dangerous thing to do and something to be careful about.
Let’s change races with peace of mind.
I sat down and wiped my neck clean. I’m feeding the kids, but it shouldn’t be dirty.
“bite.”
A little vampire creeps towards you. The girl was very envious.
“I want to ask too… can I ask you after a while?”
Isn’t it usually the other way around?
