“Any part of the body… Could it be something like hair?”
Magic stones are coveted, but the more important thing is to survive.
If you don’t want to have one person left or cut off your body too much, you’ll have to kill the author.
Besides, if you’re capable enough to float such an illusion, you’re a fearful person.
Even if that’s not the case, as long as you look like a dungeon master, who will survive if you close this dungeon?
The woman called Ruby, Payyan, smiled brightly while swearing all over the inside, but it didn’t feel like she was attracted to her, either because it was an illusion or because her class was too different from hers.
After all, is there only one way?
―Minimum weight must be filled. It must be around 10 kg.
Tension rises from the Dungeon Master’s words.
Who will you sacrifice?
Dungeon Master Aish opened his mouth again in a languid tone, as if showing mercy.
―One, if you take that much from one person, the sacrifice will be great, so your life will be in danger. If each of them cuts off a little, everyone will be able to return alive.
Is it a single sacrifice? Or is it a sacrifice made up of multiple losses?
“You mean sick?”
Hals also frowned at Carl’s sarcastic remarks.
“Even if you cut off the fat parts like the thighs and buttocks and pour the potion, it’s a makeshift solution.”
Literally, there will be no problems with living once, but there will be several side effects.
Besides, if you don’t have money to regenerate from the temple, you’ll live with a disfigured body for the rest of your life.
If that happens, your life as an adventurer will come to an end.
Whether it’s the hips or the thighs, the balance of the body will be disrupted, and if you cut that much, the nerves will be damaged and your movements won’t be the same as before.
“Besides, the reward is only about 1 kg of magic crystals? We have to share it among the four of us… … .”
You can’t live luxuriously for the rest of your life with a crippled body.
It is unknown to ordinary people, but for those who already earn and spend more than others, a lot of money is just a shame to enjoy happiness by spending as much money as they come in, and making a plan and spending it was not in their mind.
So the conclusion.
“Ruby… Do you weigh about 50 kg?”
“What, are you crazy?”
Carl and Hals, who originally roamed the dungeon as a duo. And Payyan (Ruby) and Jovi, who joined late, widened their distance as if they were facing each other.
As Payyan takes a deep breath, Joby’s pale fingertips, wearing a hood, warm in his arms.
As Carl held the dagger in one hand, Hals also clashed his gauntlet-clad hands and glared at him with a stern expression.
“The two of them must weigh over 100kg, right?”
“well. Joby guy, he’s so skinny that he’ll be lighter than Ruby, so I can’t expect it.”
Watching the two grin, Ruby bit her lip.
‘Where did I go wrong?’
Fascination is close to omnipotent depending on how you use it.
If there are people who hate you for no reason, there will be people who want to treat you well for no reason. It is the trait called fascination that raises that heart to the extreme.
There was a downside that it didn’t work well with the same woman, but Payyan thought that it wasn’t even a downside.
A crush on anyone, a compliment. No matter where you go, you can get a different meal with just a glance, and even if you buy the same clothes, the service follows.
There are people who are willing to endure even a little inconvenience or loss with a smile.
If you have an A with a grade of S, you can bewitch the opponent to the point of helping him step out if it is not related to his life or values that he considers as important.
Payyan was pretty smart. Born as a half-blood of the Yoma tribe, it could be said that he lived without lacking as an individual, even though there were inherent limitations and discrimination. Charm is such a powerful trait.
However, the sound that is close to omnipotence does not mean that it is omnipotent.
“Carl, you’re really too much. can you do this to me Aren’t I pathetic? Hals. You said I was precious too!”
Of course, when your life is at stake, like now.
“I’m sorry, Ruby. I must live.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll do a memorial service every year.”
“X-boys… … .”
Charm doesn’t help in this situation.
In the end, Payyan lifted the corners of his eyes, which had been lowered as if pleading, and untied the whip with a jing attached and grabbed it.
“Karl, you have to deal with Jobi first!”
Hals took the lead, using the gauntlet that covered his elbows as a shield to contain Payyan first, and Payyan stepped back and aimed at Hals’ body except for the gauntlet with the tip of a powerful whip as if cutting through the wind.
A whip is a weapon that bursts flesh and destroys internal organs when hit properly, but if you deflect it with a hard gauntlet or wrap it around your hand to block it, it’s useless.
The gift that pays a lot of attention to control is also a weak loophole if it is prepared in advance.
Jovi resisted by throwing fire potions and ice potions to help Ruby keep Hals in check using a whip by aiming at his ankles or momentarily changing his trajectory by twisting his wrists.
“It’s annoying.”
Carl growled at the potion smoke bombs exploding in succession as he tried to restrain Jobi from throwing potions.
“Let’s deal with Jovi first!”
As soon as Carl mentioned Jobi in words, he turned around and aimed at Fayan. Payyan screamed like a little bird at the dagger that was thrown at her.
“Come on!”
When Payyan moved his fingertips as if he was about to fall, Jovi moved quickly and with a thump thump sound, hit the dagger with his head and chest.
The reaction caused the hood to come off, revealing Jovi’s white eyes and pale skin.
“What is that?”
“Joe, a zombie?”
Carl and Hals’s eyes widened at the sight of Jovi as he moved his hand and pulled out the dagger stuck in his cheek while bleeding black blood.
“why… didn’t you know?”
“I bet you didn’t know that you were stupid.”
Payyan wiped the cold sweat with the back of his hand and twisted the corner of his mouth.
Anyway, in the trait woodcarvings issued by the temple, only the highest grade traits were written.
Who has only the talent written there?
From noble mtl dot com.
So Payan thought. Let’s hone our third highest talent in case someone notices our traits in the temple, or we show them off to let our guard down.
‘Puppetry!’
A blood-type magic that was manifested in oneself, a half-blood of the Yoma tribe.
After enticing him to death, he treated him with medicine and always took Jovi with him. Slightly unnatural movements or reticence seemed to be stubbornness unique to wizards, and other suspicious matters were hidden by Fayan’s own fascination.
If they had a little less desire, if they cut off each other’s bodies little by little and said let’s all live. Perhaps Payyan would have given his puppet Jovi as a sacrifice, though it was a pity.
For Piyan, who always attracted people with his charm, what he needed the most was a sincere colleague.
‘But after all, trash only meets trash.’
You should have expected what to expect.
“Once, let’s all die together.”
Do you think I will die alone and become a sacrifice?
Payyan laughed and said, Jovi holding a bomb potion and rushing at Carl and Hals.

Defective dungeons appear not only in games but also in original novels.
Of course, Kane didn’t enter it directly, and one of the people who would later oppose Kane was a man who cleared the dungeon of defect.
He recalled that he was crippled and had a prosthetic arm, went in with alcohol and drugs, and opened the dungeon of defect, and gave up one of his heavy fake arms made of rough metal just in case, and got everything.
Gold coins, rare reagents and metals, magic stones and attribute stones.
and homunculus.
-this is… … .
I saw Luna ripping off her clothes and tying my legs together, pretending to be in pain and opening her mouth.
“It’s not just about slapping the flesh, is it?”
Because it’s part of the body.
The prosthetic leg made of living metal I handed over flowed like water in Aish’s hand and became round.
He looked at it with a strange face and opened his mouth.
―Yes, you are of the same tribe as me.
His virtual image shimmered, fading as if it would disappear at any moment, then darkening again, approaching me, passed through Kane and Luna’s wary bodies, and grinned right in front of my eyes.
– The imperfect one.
It was a strange feeling.
I have a hunch that I may be talking about something other than simply lacking in my body.
One of my eyebrows raised as I glared at him, but Aish leaned back, ignoring Luna’s kick that passed through his body and Kane’s sword cutting his throat.
-He is a missing person. Now that you have met your comrades, what more can you take away?
The living metal that flowed like water disappears as if it melts into Aish’s illusionary image, and then takes a posture where the prosthetic arm and bare fingers are put together again, and Aish opens his hand as if opening a space.
Between them, the air splits and a box floats forward, and Kane catches it as if blocking me.
And at that moment, the illusion of Aish disappears as it dissolves like paint in water.
I let out a breath that had stopped for a moment and fell down in Luna’s arms due to the loss of energy from the excessive blood loss.
“The door must have been open.”
“Don’t tell me, take more potions… I want to heal the wound with a potion and stop the bleeding, but… … .”
“You don’t know how your nerves will get tangled if you do that. Even if you return it from the temple, Adelian, your family will notice.”
I nodded at Kane’s words.
Because of that, I’m holding out without pouring potions on my legs.
Unlike simple runaways, you don’t know how to get out of your home if that’s enough.
No matter how much Adelian was presented, he went out with the seal of the family head and had his leg cut off? It can be summoned right away.
bang!
Then I hear something explode in the dungeon.
Luna and Kane moved quickly thinking that they had to leave this place as soon as possible.
And this time I was lifted like a piece of luggage by Kane and moved.
Luna hugged me like a lady and said, “Are you a burden?”
I really can’t use that. Glad I’m a man, I was a member of a female party. It will sound heartbreaking. This brother has a lot to tell you, man.
“oh my… … .”
“hmm.”
I deliberately made a pained sound and wiggled my limbs, and Kane seemed to notice that, and after making a noise, he hugged me comfortably.
“Ugh, sorry. I need to hug… … .”
“no… are you okay… … .”
The box did not enter the subspace, probably because it had been treated with magic.
The situation was urgent to open it and take out only the items inside, and when I threw it away, I insisted that I came in because of that. I want you to take that with you.
Thanks to that, if Luna hugs me and Kane hugs the box, no matter what comes out, it’s hard to stop it because I don’t have hands.
I know very well that it is much better for Luna to hold the box and Kane to hold me in one hand as if I were a burden, since I can hold a sword with the other hand and hold it in check.
‘It just makes me feel dirty.’
And pass this dirty feeling to Ruby’s party.
I waved my hand in the air, took out the codex, and poured magic into the passageway connected to the labyrinth as soon as I left the defected dungeon.
The aisle collapsed with a gurgling sound.
“young master?”
“What are you doing?”
I laughed as I closed the codex with my bloodied hands at the voices of Luna and Kane who were looking at me as if protesting against him.
“If we get hit in the back of the head, we have to hit too.”
No matter how filthy Kane is and how distrustful he is of humans, he cannot yet have the blood of someone else other than a monster on his hands, even in a place like this where he is not forced to.
I have a sense of floating, so even burying someone alive doesn’t give me much inspiration.
A sense of floating does not make the heart flutter for a cute girl like Luna or a charming girl like Ruby, and makes us imagine that this whole situation is a dream that seems to wake up soon.
I don’t know how Luna or Kane would react if they knew about this. I’m not a god, how can I know?
So, with something like this, ‘I killed a man!’ It is possible because there is nothing to lose mentally.
Besides, so is Luna. No matter how strong Luna is, she is the final party member, but in a situation where I can finish?
I shrugged and smiled lightly.
“It’s the price of my legs.”
“Then those are both cheap.”
Luna accepted my joke and forced a laugh.
Kane didn’t say anything more and continued to jump, slicing the monster in half with a single blow.
‘It’s a big deal. It’s slowly flickering.’
As if the effect of the potion is slowly running out, the pain spreads, but the body becomes cold.
It feels like reading a textbook curled up in a classroom where the heating is broken in the middle of winter.
Or something like staying in the office alone and looking at paperwork.
‘It’s cold… I’m sleepy… … .’
Every time I close my eyes, Kane shakes his arm to wake me up, but I feel very sleepy.
I have to keep thinking about something.
‘Come to think of it, it’s a box.’
Out of the corner of my eye, I captured the box that Luna was holding and running in my field of vision as if it were submerged in water.
It will be there.
In the original version, there was a homunculus that became the basis of a siren that enabled long-distance communication.
‘The postal function was activated in the game.’
Originally a solo game, Innocent Saga was the only item that could communicate with other users.
A patch item that made it possible to buy and sell goods or send and receive messages by mail.
‘With this, I can use Halon more effectively.’
I passed out blackly without being able to hide the corners of my lips that had become happy.
