Anyway. No matter how strong Kane is, it shows that he is younger than me.
‘A world where everyone is gone is fear.’
It’s a lot of progress that Kane’s fear of human hatred is not a world without humans.
I patted Kane on the shoulder once and picked up Levy, who was clinging to his leg.
“Have you been?”
-Are there any injuries?
“Oh, I am hungry. Any more beef jerky?”
“Since Adelian is here, why don’t we go scouting out?”
“Why come now… … .”
I patted Levy, who was clinging to me, and asked why I was here now.
this fuss. Healing.
“uh. Come on, Luna. I’m not hurt, but I’m a little tired. And I think you gave away quite a bit. Did you finish it already, Rachel? Zero, don’t even think about scouting yet.”
I sat down on the chair I had brought out earlier and drank water.
The other guys had nightmares once in a while, but I saw the fear of everyone from Kane to Levi.
‘There’s too much information.’
I don’t have the energy to organize. I wanted to rest for a while, so I took out a bunch of fruits and beef jerky and sat down on a chair like a painting by Salvador Dali.
“Just lie down on the floor.”
Kane, who saw me like that, said a word.
“it’s hard.”
You’re a b*tch, but I’m!
‘I mean latte.’ I gave strength to my eyes with feeling, and Kane reached out.
Before being lifted like luggage, he climbed down the chair like a slime and lay down on the tent floor, and Zero covered his robe again.
With that, Luna grabbed my arm and moved it to the side of the campfire, then Leaf rolled up her robe and tucked it under my head.
Besides, Rachel doesn’t have jerky in her mouth, but Levy saw those guys and started tapping me like I usually do.
what is this
This time, a question mark appeared over my head, but I began to chew the beef jerky, thinking that this was the party members’ care for the party.
Just like you knew when you were in Levy, if you suffer through nightmares, your body will change when you come back.
As a result, my body was limp, as if I had been walking and roaming all day, and I was starting to feel sleepy from weariness.
I don’t know if those guys are walking around when I sleep… … .
“After I wake up, I’ll investigate and prepare to go out, so don’t make an accident. People who go out alone are always affected by this, so even if you hear something outside, move in a team of two.”
“tight.”
Kane sighs at my nagging. As if those words were on some kind of switch, a rush came rushing in.
“Don’t go anywhere… … .”
Don’t crash… Because it’s not in a dungeon… … .
Unable to overcome the growing heavy eyelids any longer, I fell asleep.
* * *
“You must be very tired.”
If it weren’t for the periodically rising and falling chest, he could hardly breathe, so he looked suspiciously dead.
Everyone looked at Adelian at Luna’s words, then sat down on the floor with chairs and opened their mouths.
“Did you pitch your tent?”
At what Rachel says while looking at Kane, Zero nods instead.
Now, no matter how loud you shout, Adelian won’t be able to hear you.
Usually, when Adelian slept, they often met in the living room or in someone else’s room, but it was the first time they had a conversation right next to each other, so he opened his mouth while checking the condition of Adelian, who was all asleep, and Levy, who seemed to be sleeping on top of him.
“First of all, please tell me if you can guess what happened.”
At Zero’s words, Leaf slowly closed and opened her eyes, then opened her mouth.
―It is speculated that the end of the vortex created when the vortices merge into one reached the area of the dungeon.
Because they lost their board and writing utensils in the sea, the rest of the party except for Luna nodded lightly after reading Leaf’s mouth.
“I think if it wasn’t for the ropes, we wouldn’t have all come in together.”
“And as expected, the dungeon won’t receive any additional personnel if there are people taking the test inside. That’s why the mermaids must have searched all the way down the current, but they didn’t come here.”
Zero said at the words of Rachel as she split an apple in half with her grip and gave it to Luna.
“Usually, dungeons are created with some intention. There is absolutely no dungeon to give only good things to someone.”
He said that it was always written that way in the journals of countless adventurers he obtained while in the labyrinth, and began to roast the stretched beef jerky over a bonfire and share it with his hands.
“Usually it is. Fun or sacrifice.”
Rachel tore the beef jerky, which had softened a little thanks to the fire, and put it in her mouth and continued with a gag.
“This is not a dungeon with only magic applied. If you did, you wouldn’t know, but I would never have been caught.”
What’s my name? Rachel, pouting, glanced at Adelian.
“It is a high-level dungeon that contains not only magic but also spiritual sorcery. A place that makes the most avoided or unwelcome situations seem real.”
And if you overcome that, it will be a dungeon that calls it a reward.
But think about it. The moment that a being fears the most. How many people will be able to overcome it?
And to say that the improved mental or physical strength after overcoming it was a reward was just a play on words.
It is an indomitable price that the existence has won with its own strength.
“It’s a complete stink. It is a place united by malice. I don’t know who made it, but it must be a very filthy one.”
Zero laughed embarrassingly at Rachel’s snarling words, but did not refute.
Actually, there was something else that was important.
“by the way… Didn’t everyone meet the young master?”
I nod slightly at everything Luna said. Rachel narrowed her brows slightly and said.
“I don’t know how strange this is, since you guys don’t even know much about magic or witchcraft.”
Rachel stretched out one leg and kicked Adelian for no reason, with a face that seemed to hurt her pride, and Luna slapped Rachel’s thigh with a clatter.
“Aww. This is something I cannot do even if I return to my original body.”
As Rachel rubbed her thighs with her palms, Zero opened her mouth.
“Is it that hard? In the first place, it is strange to read fear from someone’s unconscious and create a space to move the body itself. Isn’t it possible for someone else to enter that space?”
That’s why they don’t even know magic! Rachel looked at me with a smile on her face and scratched her head.
“To be honest, dragons are the beginning of magic. I know a lot about areas I am not interested in, but I don’t know the exact driving principle.”
Breathe, eat, run, swing.
All of these actions are not difficult for anyone with normal physical conditions.
However, how many would be able to explain it if you were to solve it?
How do two-legged things balance and why don’t they fall down when one foot is in the air to take a step? How to move the muscles and how the force is used in each body.
If asked to explain it one by one, few would be able to explain it easily.
It was like that now for Rachel. Although he was keenly aware of how great and ridiculous Adelian had done, he was a red dragon who was far from exploring, so he opened his mouth after pulling his hair out.
“The most unwanted. What we fear is not what this dungeon analyzed and showed us. what we showed us In a way, this part is very simple.”
It stimulates the soul to imagine and fantasize about what it fears most, making it feel like reality.
“It’s like a nightmare. Or some unwanted bad imagination? It’s all scenery you created yourself. Just like a dream, it disappears when someone wakes it up.”
So, in preparation for external stimuli, hide your body for a while. So is time. Even if hours or days pass in a dream, that much time does not pass when you wake up.
“In the end, it’s similar to the hallucinations I show myself. Can you invite others to your dreams?”
Kane slowly opened his mouth at Rachel’s words.
“But Adelian came into everyone’s nightmare.”
-It is virtually impossible.
“Once the body is separated from the space, it is possible if it is made into a semi-fluid or spirit.”
“The problem is that the young master endured it several times… … .”
When Luna added words to Rachel’s words and hesitated, Kane finally opened his mouth.
“Not strong. The composition of the body itself.”
In addition, the consumption of mental energy will be enormous.
Of course, not as much as each of the party facing what they feared the most, but the pressure on their minds must have been that strong.
“It was not an ordinary place. The loneliness you feel even when you don’t do anything.”
―I continued to stir up emotions.
“It’s not enough to simply face the fear, the pressure or the amplified despair is the problem.”
Nightmares that literally gnawed at me mentally. It was not easy for even Rachel, a race with strong mental barriers, to resist in the nightmare.
Even so, Adelian noticed that he did not feel anything other than simple tiredness.
“It’s as if the young master didn’t feel that unique air. Besides, all of us, even Kane and Rachel, couldn’t escape the dungeon’s test. I had a nightmare, but you weren’t the young master.”
From noble mtl dot com.
The atmosphere that drove you. Zero opened his mouth as if in a low sigh at Luna’s words, recalling the sensation of emotions being materialized and pouring like water.
“A variety of people enter the Labyrinth. Some of them felt no pain.”
Leaf tilts his head as Zero recalls a certain memory and recites it.
– Painless. If there are people who do not feel physical pain, there are also people who do not feel mental pain.
“Ah, I’ve seen it at the border too. The problem is that being painless isn’t omnipotent. It’s just that there’s no pain, isn’t the body immortal? Rather, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.”
Physical pain has several advantages. It distinguishes between heat and cold, and can protect the body temperature flexibly.
In the first place, pain is a kind of warning. In the instructions to check this place, if a poisonous snake bites or cuts or penetrates a body part that is out of sight, if there is no pain, you may die without knowing it.
Then what about the mind?
“It doesn’t seem like you don’t feel fear or fear at all.”
Kane also opened his mouth to what Luna, who had been watching for a long time, said while looking at Adelian.
“I am blunt to things that exceed a certain number.”
In the first place, I thought it was strange that he had endured the dragon’s fear.
Even after that, it was true that each of them had doubts about this or that incident.
However, Adelian had a lot of artifacts, and since he was from the Kruger family, everyone assumed that it would be the efficacy of the outstanding artifacts.
But sometimes the actions and words that show. And that unique atmosphere that you feel from time to time.
As if he would be relieved even if he threw away everything including himself, his obsession was invisible to anyone but the party.
“I’m afraid of him sometimes.”
said Rachel, throwing her apology into the bonfire.
“Because they’re so different from the people I’ve seen so far.”
Any good person has basic needs. It could be the approval of others or self-love.
Even if no one knows what you give to others, you know yourself.
Even the self-satisfaction that comes from it is a motivation for action and a desire.
“But isn’t that guy so selfless?”
mercy and love. A tendency to be satisfied with devotion itself would have been more reassuring. With that kind of personality, even sacrificing yourself is your own desire.
However, Adelian was not infinitely generous or generous to others, but at times he was also a very cold and unfeeling person.
Do not rush to save someone or give up all benefits and act.
They threw away things that had no choice but to throw away and showed an attitude that it was natural for someone to die.
So the question is what Adelian gets, what his desire is.
“Certainly peace on the continent.”
Everyone knew it was nothing more than a well-packaged shell.
What is Adelian’s fear? what is the desire
Do you know?
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the sleeping Adelian.
