[Chapter 215]
[Lilith (3)]
Myth is not manifested.
Even though he gained a strong body, manifesting myth still requires considerable burden.
Even if the gift's power somewhat prevents the soul from wearing down, the fact that it wears down ultimately doesn't change.
So Eun-ha decided to defeat Lilith without myth's help.
I'll use it if it's really a dangerous moment, but not to that extent.
Eun-ha took a true step.
Sparks flew from his feet.
He instantly appeared near Lilith.
"...!!"
Shock appears on Lilith's face as she faces Kang Hyeon-cheol and Ryu Yeon-hwa.
But it was too late.
The two who had already received telepathy from Jin Pa-rang stepped back.
"Bang."
Liger Blaster
Eun-ha smiled.
Against a Mine.
He demonstrates overwhelming skill.
He was satisfied with the situation of fighting without needing to mind internal mana amount.
────!!
The blaster equipped on his left hand flashes and spews blue light.
Lilith is hit directly by the light and slams into the dungeon wall.
"Kuk...! To gang up on one person, you guys are worse than me. It feels really shitty to experience this after a long time."
Lilith spouts vulgar words as she walks out of the smoke.
Eun-ha prepared his next attack.
"You stay back."
"Yeon-hwa noona?"
"Yeah, idiot. How much can you fight when you can't even use a sword properly? Stay back and wait on standby."
At that moment, Ryu Yeon-hwa and Jin Pa-rang stepped forward.
The two glared at Lilith while emitting mana profusely.
"Pa-rang, I won't control my power so dodge on your own."
"Yup, okay!"
Ryu Yeon-hwa spread her hand holding the spear.
She who ran with her upper body lowered swung her spear to strike away flying building debris.
Cold energy gathered on her body.
The cold energy harmonized with her and transformed into a huge spear.
And the spear became a dragon.
Han Mae-ryu Ultimate Technique
Snow Dragon
Ryu Yeon-hwa accelerates.
A dragon made of snow crystals quickly rushed at Lilith.
"I can see it in my eyes. I can clearly see how much lust is hidden inside you. Originally cold energy is yin energy, and yin energy becomes lust!!"
Lilith spread her wings.
She who flew up into the air deployed magic.
But the snow dragon paid no attention and soared vertically.
Kuooo
The dragon opens its mouth and converts incoming magic into snow crystals.
But the converted magic seeps in.
Lilith cackled.
She mocked Ryu Yeon-hwa.
"Now you're finished too! You'll be no different from those worms rolling around down there! Mate with monsters, you bi... What!?"
Contrary to Lilith's declaration.
The snow dragon didn't lose momentum.
It was still heading straight for Lilith.
Winter Mist
The reason Ryu Yeon-hwa's magic didn't work was because she had hidden inside the snow dragon in advance and used an artifact.
She had become snow crystals.
She who sublimated into snow without form couldn't possibly react to lust only living beings have.
And so─
"─Kyaaaah!!!"
Following Eun-ha's attack.
Lilith was hit directly this time too.
The snow dragon swallowed her.
By then Ryu Yeon-hwa returned her body and swung her spear with all her might.
She twisted the creature's orbit in the gap when Lilith was hit by the attack.
Lilith falls.
Han Mae-ryu
Waterfall
Scattering snow crystals gather.
Snow crystals wrap around her again.
Ryu Yeon-hwa fell taking a stance to strike down with her spear.
Wind splits at the spear tip.
Riding that wind, snow crystals scatter creating a huge spear.
That spear pierces Lilith creating a trajectory falling from top to bottom.
A trajectory just like a waterfall.
A frozen waterfall appears in the dungeon, and Lilith's abdomen is pierced by the spear.
"Ah, ah..."
Lilith's short cry.
Ryu Yeon-hwa straddling her body took one deep breath.
The attack wasn't over yet.
Han Mae-ryu Ultimate Technique
Dragon's Wrath
Snow crystals scattering as magic remnants.
They come under her control.
Blue crystals swirl around attacking Lilith.
Lilith pierced by the spear and lying on the ground couldn't resist.
Kyaaaah!!
Lilith screams again.
A sound that doesn't burst out vocally.
It means she took damage close to existence erasure.
The sound spreading like a thought made people's morale rise.
Meanwhile Ryu Yeon-hwa─
─Han Mae-ryu Ultimate Technique
North Wind and Snow
As if absolutely not letting go of Lilith once captured.
She continued pouring attacks.
There was no mercy.
Ryu Yeon-hwa facing a Mine was infinitely cold and merciless.
Her magic brought a snowstorm turning the surroundings into a winter world.
The scene unfolding in the red dungeon was quite mysterious.
In that, Ryu Yeon-hwa kept attacking Lilith.
☆
"...She's nothing short of an <Ice Demon>."
For some reason, players in the rear didn't have much to do.
They just played supporting roles for people fighting in the vanguard, like killing breeding monsters or disrupting Lilith's concentration.
Even that was busy only at first.
As the battle flowed into the middle stage, they now had余力.
So they were trembling in fear seeing Ryu Yeon-hwa facing Lilith now.
"I didn't know <Divine Spear> was such a scary person. Maybe the rumors circulating in the academy are true."
"What rumors?"
"That <Divine Spear> froze the testicles of male students who picked fights during school days..."
""""..."
"...She's a person with abundant queen qualities. <Snow Queen>? Calling her <Winter Queen> wouldn't be bad either."
"..."
"Shh! You might die by Pandora Clan Lord if you say strange things. Don't you see him there now?"
""""..."
Eun-ha who retreated to the rear with clan members' consideration was pricking up his ears.
<Ice Demon>, <Snow Demon>, <Demon Spear>, <Snow Queen>, <Winter Queen>.
Ryu Yeon-hwa was on the lips of high-profile players.
What they were saying was becoming aliases added to her aliases <Divine Spear> and <Snow Spear>.
Yeon-hwa noona wasn't originally like this...
Is she going wild because a stage was created?
As if absolutely not giving up her turn to step forward.
Ryu Yeon-hwa was wielding her spear to the point of involuntary admiration.
33 consecutive hits.
Eun-ha and surrounding players were amazed if she was even breathing.
Moreover, the combo didn't stop there.
"Hey! <Divine Spear>! Give me a chance to jump in too! Is she single-handedly driving back a Mine now?"
<Yama > Kang Hyeon-cheol was jumping up and down watching for a chance to enter.
So how could other players squeeze in?
Jin Pa-rang was also just on guard except for his initial attack on Lilith.
That noona is really doing it all alone.
To this, Eun-ha clicked his tongue.
This life's <Divine Spear> Ryu Yeon-hwa could be said to surpass the <Divine Spear> before regression without exaggeration.
Her skills were that amazing.
Moreover, in this life various coincidences were added allowing her to demonstrate such skills.
Even so, it's better to join forces with players than fighting alone.
She'll collapse from exhaustion at this rate.
Eun-ha groaned.
Though Ryu Yeon-hwa's power was amazing, she needed to have a timing to catch her breath.
Moreover, Lilith was strong.
The fact that she was still alive while being pushed back by Yeon-hwa's offensive was proof.
"Mary."
"Yes, Clan Lord."
"Tell Yeon-hwa noona to fall back. <Yama > and the stupid hyung will switch to face Lilith, so tell her to retreat and recover stamina."
"Okay, I'll relay that."
To this, Eun-ha ordered Kim Mary.
Kim Mary transmitted telepathy.
Fall back and rest.
Yeah, thanks.
Eun-ha's eyes met with Ryu Yeon-hwa.
Eun-ha nodded.
She who exchanged conversation through gazes immediately retreated.
"Heeyah! Now it's my turn!!"
Then Kang Hyeon-cheol jumped in gallantly swinging his sword.
A greatsword wrapped in flames.
The greatsword Kang Hyeon-cheol made through an agreement between Blaze and Pandora Clan fell to the ground with a thud.
Crustal Explosion
The ground split.
Lava gushed from the split ground changing the area into volcanic terrain.
Another pain came to Lilith who had been suffering in a snowstorm.
"The sword made in Pandora Clan's furnace really has a killer effect."
"...Quite a tyrannical attack. You, women will dislike your type."
"Even if everyone in the world hates me, it's enough if one person understands me. You're saying ridiculous things."
"My, I didn't see you that way but you're quite the romantic."
"Don't say embarrassing things and hurry up and attack! Is this human saying such things in the middle of battle!?"
Kang Hyeon-cheol drives Lilith back.
Park Hye-rim steps forward to the middle to support, and Jin Pa-rang assists him.
Eun-ha touched his sword.
I should enter soon too.
With the swords in this state, it's not easy to enter a fight with magic bursting like that.
Eun-ha glanced at the two swords in his hand.
Hundred Flowers Scattered and Zangetsu Kōsei.
No magic was built into the two swords anymore.
"I can't engrave text either, I need to make new ones soon..."
The moment text is engraved on a sword, that sword's value falls.
That's why Eun-ha who was trying to use the two swords as a base to make new swords wasn't engraving text.
Maybe Yeon-hwa noona pushed Lilith back while overdoing it to not give me a turn to step forward.
Though they're just swords with magic gone, it's a bit much to face a Mine with these.
Eun-ha gave a bitter smile.
The Ryu Yeon-hwa he knew would do that and more for him.
But he didn't want to just stay still only being protected.
It was then.
"─Why do you think I was waiting for you here of all places? This will be my grave, but it will also be your graves so I deliberately chose this dungeon!!"
Both arms fallen off.
Wings burned and disappeared.
Yet Lilith stood on two feet and laughed.
Right after, the red dungeon reacted.
The red dungeon's power gathered to Lilith, starting to elevate her power.
Her body is restored.
It's phase 2.
Eun-ha clicked his tongue.
If this wasn't a dungeon, we would have ended it long ago...
She's really tenacious.
It was the same in the previous life.
Lilith kept recovering by receiving the red dungeon's power whenever she was about to die.
Eun-ha took a step.
He exchanged conversation with Ryu Yeon-hwa through eyes.
Go?
Go.
We can't let her recover like this.
Now was the chance while Lilith was receiving the dungeon's power.
Eun-ha imbued mana in his sword.
Lightning Step
Han Mae-ryu
Ice Road
Eun-ha and Ryu Yeon-hwa kicked the ground.
They who jumped to the vanguard almost simultaneously attacked Lilith.
Blast Cross
Han Mae-ryu Special Technique
Infinite Shower
A cross of flames from one side.
A rain of ice from the other side.
Magic with different qualities soon swallowed her and tore her apart.
Kyaaaah!!
Torn by cold.
Melting in heat.
Lilith screamed in the fiercely burning flames.
The dungeon's recovery can't keep up.
Her existence crumbles.
"Damn it! Why do you always steal my finishing blow!?"
Kang Hyeon-cheol shouted as if spitting blood.
Eun-ha didn't answer.
He and other players quietly watched Lilith's disappearance.
"I... won't go like this. I'll let you know how it feels to have to become beasts before I go."
A voice heard from the flames.
Soon the screams became chuckles.
People frowned.
"It's useless to kill me now. I've already... activated magic in this dungeon using my death as a catalyst."
""""...!!""""
"You'll never break the magic containing my wish! Why don't you fall into self-loathing becoming pigs and dogs for 3 days and nights! Then die!!"
Leaving those words.
Lilith disappeared.
☆
The flames subsided.
A soul stone remained there.
Eun-ha who pocketed the soul stone looked around briefly.
Except for people caught in magic, there doesn't seem to be any change...
There was a similar incident in the previous life too.
So Eun-ha couldn't help but worry.
It wasn't this extreme in that way.
Fortunately, it seemed no one was caught in the magic Lilith used all her strength on before dying.
It was when he thought that.
──!!!!
Centered on the point where Lilith disappeared.
The red dungeon reacted violently.
By the time they realized, it was too late.
Ripples spreading in a circle from the disappearance point brushed people's bodies.
"Ugh...! Th-This is..."
"The dungeon... activated..."
Starting from the vanguard where Kang Hyeon-cheol was.
People caught in the magic appeared in succession.
Their breathing became rough.
Fortunately, Park Hye-rim who was far away somehow managed to resist.
"Huff, huff, huff... Damn it, why is my body like this now!?"
Jin Pa-rang's eyes widened.
Jin Pa-rang who was close to where Lilith died couldn't shake off the magic either.
He perked up his ears and tail.
His eyes became especially redder.
He tried to resist the magic.
"Kuk..."
Other players were the same.
They tried to control themselves.
There's still reason left in the early stages of being caught in magic.
Reason and emotion fight.
Then if they brush even fingertips with the opposite sex─
""""─...!!""""
They can't control reason and get devoured by emotion.
A man and woman who accidentally bumped bodies had their eyes meet.
Starting with that, the number of people losing their thread of consciousness began to increase.
Gift <Heroic >
Meanwhile, Eun-ha maintained composure.
Lilith's magic was close to brainwashing that disturbs emotions and drives people mad with lust.
So the gift broke through Lilith's magic.
Damn it, to think this would happen again...
Though there's less damage than the previous life.
Still, he couldn't be happy about it.
Eun-ha hurriedly grasped people who weren't caught in the magic.
Only the vanguard was caught in the magic.
Some in the middle were caught, and it seems no one in the rear was caught in the magic.
Bae Su-bin was standing in the middle.
People in the same line as her were struggling with the magic.
But Bae Su-bin didn't seem affected by the brainwashing magic, perhaps because she's a Mine.
And Bong Gu-rae in the rear further back was maintaining his mind.
"Bae Su-bin! Kim Mary! Bong Gu-rae! You quickly move Pa-rang hyung to a tent!"
Jin Pa-rang's condition was serious.
If someone of the opposite sex touches him, he'll really go mad.
The bigger problem was Ryu Yeon-hwa.
Ryu Yeon-hwa would have been caught in the magic too.
Huh?
Did Yeon-hwa noona resist it?
But Ryu Yeon-hwa was showing a different appearance from others.
She seemed to be maintaining composure.
She was standing upright in place.
If she resisted the magic with willpower, it would be extremely surprising.
As expected of <Divine Spear>.
Still, you never know.
Eun-ha decided to carefully approach and check her condition.
That was his mistake.
"Yeon-hwa noona, are you okay? Noona..."
"Ah, Eun-ha..."
Eun-ha called out to Ryu Yeon-hwa.
Ryu Yeon-hwa turned her body.
Her voice was no different from usual.
Eun-ha felt relieved.
"Thank goodness. Noona is okay...!!"
...it seems.
Eun-ha couldn't finish his words.
Ryu Yeon-hwa suddenly knocked him down and straddled his stomach.
"Oof...!!"
"Stay still, ha..."
Eun-ha realized then.
Ryu Yeon-hwa wasn't in her right mind either.
She had barely maintained her senses, but the moment Eun-ha spoke to her, she was devoured by emotion.
She was breathing roughly.
Her breath was hot.
And Eun-ha saw.
"I'm okay..."
She was not okay at all.
Ryu Yeon-hwa's pupils had changed.
Heart marks had appeared in her pupils.
She was strongly affected by Lilith's magic.
Eun-ha tried to somehow calm her─
"─Stay still, Eun-ha."
"...!!"
Ryu Yeon-hwa cancelled Eun-ha's magic.
She unbuttoned his uniform.
When the buttons wouldn't come undone easily, she just ripped the uniform apart.
Her hands caress his upper body.
"Mmm♥"
Just that excites Ryu Yeon-hwa.
She licks her lips with her tongue.
"I won't hurt you... You, haa, you just need to lie there♥"
Ryu Yeon-hwa comes closer.
She put her tongue in Eun-ha's mouth.
"...!!"
Being devoured.
Eun-ha felt dizzy from the sensation of his tongue being sucked out.
Ryu Yeon-hwa's face was flushed red when she separated her mouth.
A thread of saliva from her mouth hangs limply in the air.
"Ah, really... That bastard Noh Eun-ha is creating more work again. Gu-rae! Quickly set up tents here too! Hah, really, if I wasn't caught in the magic I'd just... these bitches and bastards licking and sucking here..."
Bae Su-bin commands the players.
People hurriedly set up tents.
Regardless─
"─It'll be over soon♥ I'll, haa, I'll take care of it♥"
Ryu Yeon-hwa paid no attention to them, only looking at Eun-ha pinned beneath her.
Oh no, damn it...
It didn't seem like it would be over soon at all.
