131. Using optimization on the pink-haired girl...
No matter how much I tried to hide that I was going to the Labyrinth, I couldn't escape her.
No matter how much I monitored the Labyrinth, Pink-hair is right in front of my eyes.
"Will you accept my apology?"
"......"
I realized it when I looked into Pink-hair's eyes.
I cannot live under the same sky as this bitch.
Even if I kill her. Even if I kill her. It's obvious she'll just keep chasing me.
That was the kind of look it was.
Eyes so dark that just looking at them made me want to puke.
A feeling that even evoked the terror one feels from the unknown.
I can't even fathom how crazy she is.
She stared right through me and slowly approached.
"Hehehe... Cute..."
I froze like a herbivore facing a snake.
Unlike her words about tearing off my arm, the hands touching me were incredibly careful.
"Ha... This is the best. I love you, Jang Ryu-o~♥"
I swallowed my nausea and looked down at Pink-hair.
Pink-hair whipped her head around and stomped her feet.
"......"
"Eek! What do I do~♥ If you look at me like that...♥♥♥"
I didn't miss the moment and tried to stab Pink-hair's heart, but...
-Wriggle~
"Urgh!!"
Tentacles instantly wrapped tightly around Malion.
"Hmm-hmm... As expected, you won't need your arms! Don't worry! You'll shine brilliantly even without two arms!"
What the hell is this crazy bitch saying?
The tentacles wrapped around Malion crawled slowly up to my hand.
I tried to drop the sword and create distance, but by the time I realized it, both my wrists were already tied up.
-Wriggle wriggle...
Before I knew it, the tentacles were covering my entire arm.
"Hehehe~ Sigh... Were there white wings left...?"
Just like that, I was stuck in a crisis where my arm was about to be cut off, but...
-Ding!
[Would you like to proceed with Optimization? 1-5/N]
An Optimization message popped up.
'... In this situation, what is this...'
Pink-hair rolled her eyes around and said.
"Ha... How annoying..."
Unlike me, who was losing my mind, Pink-hair looked full of composure.
She picked up Selana and Magna and threw them hard at the knights sneaking up on her.
-Whoosh! Thwack!!
""Urgh!!""
"VIPs!!!"
"All units, attack!!!"
The knights' condition was, to put it mildly, not good.
Some had their scalps torn and were bleeding, while others were charging with broken arms.
Everyone. Knights who had received orders and came to protect me and my companions.
Such knights...
"Take that! Take that!"
-Thwack!
They were being stabbed by sharp-tipped tentacles, leaving holes all over their arms.
-Swish! Splat!
Their chests were split open by a sword made of giant bone, spraying blood.
Pink-hair dealt with them like they were annoying flies, and the knights rushed in like moths to a flame.
Even while fighting, Pink-hair winked and smiled brightly.
"Play for a bit, Jang Ryu-o~♥"
I was thrown at the Twin Head Ogre while hanging from the tentacles.
After looking at me and smiling, Pink-hair summoned bone thorns densely from the ground.
The surroundings literally turned into a hellscape.
'I have to do something.'
The only thing I could see right in front of me was the Optimization message.
It couldn't have given me Optimization to have sex with Pink-hair in this situation.
It must be suggesting a method I hadn't even thought of.
Without hesitation, I pressed level 5.
Then...
[Proceeding with Optimization.]
[Using Slime Body, Uncheon-yeohyeong, Heavenly Demon Divine Art, Poison Resistance, Water Resistance, Hardening, Uitae, Ki Sense, Vibration, Multitasking, ???.]
Text scrolled before my eyes, and my MP drained in an instant.
I was clearly flying through the air, but I felt like time had stopped.
Uncheon-yeohyeong and the Heavenly Demon Divine Art stretched and emerged from my Dantian.
The two energies, which had been safe, increased their density inside my body as if trying to push each other away.
As the two energies surged through my body, my whole body grew hot and I felt dizzy.
My ears felt muffled, and my eyeballs stung.
As I winced in pain, my Circle rotated and soothed my hot body.
It felt like cold water was flowing through my body.
My head cleared up, and my senses came alive.
Only now did I have the mental capacity to think about what was happening.
The pinky finger holding the sword stiffened, and black tentacles from my palm wrapped around Malion's hilt.
And, as vibration occurred in my body...
-Crackle...
The two energies merged, and a strange sound came from my body.
Even though I was still airborne, my body bounced around.
-Crackle... Crackle!
-Ding!
[Transmigrator title activated! Strength +3]
My joints itched, twitching as if wanting to swing the sword.
I stared blankly at the Twin Head Ogre, which was moving like a slug.
-Gu... O... O...
'......'
As if possessed, I slashed the sword diagonally.
My arm, loaded with more power than usual, swung...
-Slaaaash!!!
And sliced the Twin Head Ogre in half.
"Sigh... Should I just kill them all?"
Riner's patience was slowly hitting rock bottom.
She had intended to kill one person every time Jang Ryu-o didn't accept her apology, but...
-Limp... Limp...
"Haa... Haa..."
The knights burning their own lives away were surprisingly annoying.
Killing them was easy, but they were tricky if she had to control it properly?
Should she just kill a few of them cruelly... the moment she thought that.
-Crackle...
At the same time, the sound of lightning pulsating in the sky was heard.
-Slaaaash!
"......?"
A sound of something splitting rang out.
Riner turned around, wondering if it could be him.
She swallowed hard upon seeing Jang Ryu-o, who looked so mysterious it took her breath away.
"......... Gulp."
His appearance made falling from the sky look like a cute trick.
His body, possessing flesh, rippled like a Banshee under a command.
The head he tilted up to glare at her moved with jerky, stuttering motions.
It wasn't that her vision was blurry. Everything except Jang Ryu-o looked perfectly fine.
Every time the purple energy radiating from his body rippled and shattered, it made a spine-chilling sound.
-Crackle... Crackle...
She didn't know what state he was in or how he did it, but...
"Beautiful..."
Riner's chest surged with heat at the appearance of a man she couldn't see anywhere else.
Her insides felt stifled. She was going crazy wanting to have him right now.
Goosebumps formed on her back, creating bumps on her arms.
Riner slowly approached Ryu-o.
"Jang Ryu-o... What is that? How did you do that? Ha..."
"..."
Ryu-o looked around without answering.
Then, he took a potion and jelly out of his hand.
Riner shook her head and aimed at Jang Ryu-o's hand.
"Hmm-hmm. That won't..."
The moment she tried to fire magic... Ryu-o's wrist moved slightly.
-Crackle... Splat!!!
"Uh...?"
Riner looked at her severed wrist and tilted her head.
"Jang Ryu-o... By any chance, did you do that?"
Ryu-o ignored Riner and did what he had to do.
He threw the potion and jelly he was holding into the air...
-Clang! Hummm...
The potion was sprinkled over the knights' bodies, and they began to disappear.
"O, Oppa! No!!!"
"Ma... le...! No..."
"Ryu-o-nim!! We have to go together..."
It was the same for his companions.
-Hummm!
Only Riner and Ryu-o were left inside this Labyrinth.
Riner...
"As expected!!! What I saw wasn't a dream!! Jang Ryu-o! You even have that kind of ability? Huh??? Huh??"
She jumped up and down, blood pouring from her severed arm.
-Boing! Boing!
"I! I!! I like you so much!! I'm so, so curious about you!!!"
Ryu-o didn't even pay attention.
He swung his arm with jerky, stuttering movements.
"I've..."
-Crackle...
"tried..."
-Crackle! Crackle!
"I think I have to... kill you here."
Riner said while regenerating her arm.
-Bubble bubble...
"If it's by your hand, I wouldn't mind dying! But... if I die, I can't see you anymore, right? Then, in about 100 years..."
When Ryu-o flicked his finger in the air, a tremendous sound cut off Riner's bullshit.
-Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!!!
At the sudden change in momentum, Riner smiled brightly.
"Just how many things are you hiding...!!!!"
-Splat!!!
"!!!!!"
Riner covered Ryu-o's blade, which was slicing her neck, with a massive mass of tentacles.
-Thwack! Crackle!
As Ryu-o gritted his teeth, the blade tore through the mass and vibrated...
-Swish!!!
Drawing a strange path, it was thrust into Riner's body.
Riner, who had jumped into the air, saw the sword energy that had shattered the ground and pulled out a giant skeleton scythe.
Riner rubbed her head against the scythe's handle and reattached her head in an instant.
With a face that looked like she was dying of happiness, she smiled and shouted.
"I love you!!!!"
Veins popped out on Ryu-o's temple, and he shouted.
"GET!!!! LOST!!!"
Bone armor covered Riner's back, assisting her movements.
Riner held the skeleton scythe, which looked too heavy to even lift, high up and tried to bring it down.
Ryu-o lowered his sword and closed his eyes...
-Crack... Crackle! Crackle!!!
He created an airflow around the sword that made it seem like it was shattering.
An alarm bell rang in Riner's head, but Riner felt even that was sweet.
"Here I coooome!!!!♥♥♥"
Hands that emerged from a magic circle in the air grabbed Riner's scythe handle.
At the midpoint where Riner was swinging the scythe down.
Ryu-o was already extending his sword.
"Eh?"
-Crack! Crack! Craaaack!!
The empty air shattered and swallowed Riner.
-Thwack!
Gloomy green lights turned on in the eyes of Riner, whose upper body was shattered.
-Hummm...
Threads growing from her shattered flesh bound each other tightly and merged.
Riner, who was being swept away, desperately regenerated herself and caught her breath.
"I almost died!!!♥"
She, dripping with cold sweat, looked truly happy.
