“I’m in trouble. How can I wait for it to thaw when I don’t have time….”
This was the first theme I used after coming to this world, so I never thought it would turn out like this.
I should have added or subtracted force, but I didn’t.
She had forgotten about Finesse and Artea, where her ego was located, as she was controlling her power on her own without having to be told.
‘I should have lowered the breath output…….’
Even if I regret it now, my mistakes will not go away.
It was a shame, but I used DP to purchase the magic card ‘Sun Ray’ that nullifies freezing.
And immediately attached to the hippogriff.
Even as I was attaching it, the ice that had made my hands cold began to melt little by little.
“Kkiheek!”
The Hippogriff, who had returned to normal, took a deep breath and then exhaled again.
I froze immediately after seeing Kalaesia’s movements, so it was a natural reaction to look cold.
If something like that had happened to me, I would have reacted no differently.
I waited with reverence until the hippogriff calmed down.
I didn’t have enough time, but there were things I did wrong, so it was a bit difficult to thoroughly interrogate them.
I stayed quiet in the sense of reflection.
There are some cubs who try to take advantage of the gap and run away, but now the winner or loser has been decided.
It was better to believe that there was no way to escape internal taxes.
“Do you think you’ve calmed down a little now?”
“Kkiek….”
A hippogriff whose physical condition has returned to normal and whose demeanor has become calmer.
He answered my question with a low cry.
Defeat in the Duel World has the power to subdue any beast.
The Hippogriff knew that there was no point in rebelling.
“There are many things I want to ask you, but are you understanding what I am saying?”
Nod.
“Okay. Then, just like now, answer my question with action. “Because I can’t understand what you’re saying.”
Nod.
“First of all, do you know that the Demon King is under a curse?”
Nod.
“Are you the one who placed the curse?”
Helpfully.
“Do you know the person who placed the curse?”
Nod.
“So you were the one who was managing the curse. “He must have wings, and he must have come to the Demon King’s Castle periodically to check for curses.”
When I asked a guess rather than a question, the Hippogriff’s pupils grew noticeably larger.
I smiled and took out the evidence from my pocket when he asked how I knew.
“Do you know what this is?”
Torn pieces of card.
To be exact, a part of the murdered Kalis. I brought it because it was under the window frame.
And there was a large mark left on the piece.
“At first, I wondered what this mark was. But after thinking about it for a bit, I quickly found the right answer. Fingernail… No, it would be more accurate to call them claw marks. “Because you killed the guardian and threw it outside the window.”
“Quite eh…….”
The hippogriff, stabbed in the crosshairs, lowered its head.
Since you do not deny it, you have accepted that my reasoning is true.
I didn’t need to take out any additional evidence, so I put it back.
If we press further at the time of admission, nothing will come out.
“Hmm.”
“Quite a lot?”
I wanted to ask about the witch doctor, but unfortunately it was impossible.
As someone who cannot understand the language of the hippogriff, all I can get is a simple answer: O or X.
I couldn’t expect a detailed explanation, so I had to think of other questions to ask.
“Do you have information on Kalis?”
Helpfully.
If the Hippogriff does not have it, it means that it has been passed on to someone else or the data has been destroyed.
Either way, it was a painful loss for me.
“That’s enough. Question time is now over. Guide me to the location of the curse.”
“Quite eh! Quite a sum! “Pretty cute!!”
I planned to use the winner’s privilege to end the curse.
However, the hippogriff made a cold expression and shook his head violently from side to side.
Are you going to ignore my orders when you lose?
“Don’t talk nonsense, just guide me!”
“Keeek!!”
Pow-!
The hippogriff’s head exploded as it screamed as if its throat would be torn apart.
Flesh fell down around him, and the guy who lost his head fell helplessly to the floor.
“Crazy….”
The curser did not only curse the devil.
He even placed a curse on his assistant, the Hippogriff, and treated him freely.
It seemed to cause self-destruction if the location of the curse or information about the curse were revealed.
‘I was planning to kill him later for revenge, but I never thought he would already be gone……..’
From now on, things are strangely not going the way I want.
As a result, my anger rose to the point where my insides were boiling.
Do I have to be dragged around endlessly like this by a guy I don’t even know how he came to be?
To a bastard who curses behind your back instead of proudly competing in a duel?
“Ha!”
Even if I died and woke up, I couldn’t do that.
I pulled out the radio card and held it close to my ear.
“Finess, how is the situation going there?”
[I barely persuaded the devil and brought him outside. What was the situation on your side?]
“I succeeded in subduing the traitor through a duel, but I was destroyed by that bastard’s tricks.”
[This is really sad news. So what should we do now?]
“Get as far away from the castle as possible with the Demon King. In the meantime, I will search for the curse inside. And if possible, don’t run in a straight line, but move from various angles. “That way, you can roughly find which direction the curse card is in.”
[I understand!]
I have no doubt that my meaning was fully conveyed to Finesse.
So, I guess I should prepare soon.
Get ready to end this f*cking treasure hunt because it’s neither fun nor inspiring.

I turned around, looking down at the cool body of the Hippogriff.

“Damn you! “What on earth is this bastard that’s sitting here interfering with my grand plan?”
Cudangtang! Damn it!
The table tipped over and the crystal ball on it fell to the floor and split into two.
It was a crystal ball that illuminated the inside of Labyrinthos just a moment ago, but it was no longer functioning properly due to the wrath of the robed witch doctor.
Anyway, the witch doctor, overcome by evil, constantly kicked the table to express his anger.
“What a dog…” ! “I want to kill you painfully with my curse right now, but I don’t have time.”
There was a setback in the plan, and there was no time to rest to fix it.
The kicking on the table ended there.
The witch doctor began to gather miscellaneous tools from the boxes in one corner of the room.
‘Now that the Hippogriff has fallen behind, I have no choice but to step forward.’
The only confidant I used to manipulate by threatening him with a curse is no longer there.
Even if it’s dangerous and uncomfortable, if you don’t run around, the castle you’ve worked so hard to build will collapse.
The witch doctor had no choice but to make a decision and rushed out carrying his improvised luggage.
‘That bastard was obsessed with finding the curse until the very end.’
The witch doctor recalled Han Se-yoon’s last words, which he had seen through the crystal ball.
The demon king runs away from the castle to escape the effects of the curse, and the hero searches for the source of the curse.
Either way, it was a major crisis for the witch doctor and it was a situation that had to be prevented.
‘If you have to choose the lesser evil rather than the worst…….’
As someone who watched Han Se-yoon’s duel, I wasn’t confident that I could handle him.
There was even a possibility of being defeated while trying to prevent the removal of the source.
I came to the conclusion that it would be better to aim for the devil.
‘It is gradually fading, but I can feel the energy of the curse I placed.’
The witch doctor begins to pursue the devil towards where he is.
I threw myself into the Forest of Deception, spraying insect avoidance spray.
The witch doctor’s target was running away in the opposite direction, but the speed was significantly slow.
The pace of progress was slow because they had to zigzag away as instructed by Han Se-yoon earlier.
Whatever it was, it was an unprecedented boon for the witch doctor.
Not wanting to miss the opportunity, he strengthened his legs even more and ran and ran.
The witch doctor, who had been steadily training his dual muscles, passed through the forest in one go and quickly reached the main gate of Labyrinth.
However, the inside of the castle was not his destination, so he turned around and headed back toward the outskirts of the castle.
Because there was the devil he was aiming for.
“Just a little more…” ! Just a little further… !!”
Sweat began to flow from his face as he ran without stopping even once.
I trembled as I spotted something in the distance.
‘I found it!’
The pure white horns of a bull stand out even in the dark.
There was only one person in this world who had horns like that.
Elise is the owner of Labyrinth and the self-proclaimed Demon King.
‘And the woman with the abominable bloodline who took everything from me… !’
This time I will take everything from you.
The witch doctor made up his mind and took out a card from his bag.
Just as she was fully prepared to place her new curse on her.
There was a hand placed on his shoulder.
“Would you like to have an awesome duel with me?”
“What, what? Why are you here? You were clearly looking for a curse card… !”
“That’s because I could feel the signs of a strong duel here.”
It was the touch of a dual wraith.
