Chapter 21
Arin, covered in blood, opened the bathroom door with trudging steps.
After washing off the blood and dust from her body with cold water she had left sitting for hours, she roughly poured a potion taken from subspace over her head.
—Glug glug glug
“…”
—Crash!
The glass fragments shattered in her high-held hand and the potion poured down on Arin's head.
Whether she didn't like the potion coming out little by little through the narrow bottle opening, or the dark emotions casting a shadow over her heart caused an impulsive action, no one knows.
Perhaps looking at her staring blankly at her hand, it might be the latter...
Fortunately, her body, which had transcended human limits, didn't have a single scratch even as she stepped on the broken glass fragments and walked out.
Arin's eyes, which were empty when she came out to the living room, calmed down.
More than the empty Dantian, the exhausted body, or the internal injury shaking her insides, what made her hard was Cheon Hwaryeong's venomous tongue.
[Calling me Noona, how diligently he shook his waist...]
“…”
Right now, in front of her eyes, the disciple who came out to the living room and smiled prettily is affectionately calling her Master...
“Noona...?”
Arin stared expressionlessly for a long time at Ryuo who wasn't even in this spot.
The light coming through the window gap erased Ryuo's image caught in Arin's eyes.
Turning her head to look out the window, she saw the scarecrow the disciple hit diligently.
[He moaned obscenely with that low voice.]
Outside the window, Ryuo carrying her on his back and smiling mischievously was training.
Saying she wasn't heavy at all... saying she was light as a feather, acting all charming...
Outside, with Cheon Hwaryeong...
Is it because they always went to eat after training? Arin's steps naturally headed to the kitchen.
There, the empty Wonhongju bottle the disciple bought by saving his meager money little by little was placed proudly.
That child who blushed saying he was embarrassed about the displayed alcohol bottle as a souvenir was actually...
[When I fed him some expensive alcohol, he acted charming and came between my legs.]
I drank alcohol with the money the disciple earned by diligently shaking his waist.
Not knowing that, I just accepted and drank the alcohol happily.
To Arin who was falling into a Heart Demon (Simma), words more painful than anything brushed past her head.
[I don't know why you are so angry. Is he not your disciple?]
‘Right... He is a disciple...’
The decision she thought was the best choice in her life was tightening her chest hard for some reason.
She tried tirelessly not to commit the sin of despising her ancestors, but that child is already...
Arin headed to Ryuo's room as if possessed.
“Ah...”
It was full. The disciple's scent and traces were filled to the brim.
Arin placed her hand on the blanket the disciple had folded well before leaving.
Tears flowed down juruk from Arin's eyes as she smelled the scent seeping out from the pressed blanket.
Arin, whose heart had burnt black, began to resent the disciple.
“Did you like the female body that much... Did you buy it with money earned by rolling your body... Did you go around smiling like that pretending to know nothing...”
If the disciple is already dyed in impurity... shouldn't she correct him as a master?
Shouldn't she make him unable to even think of other women?
Since he played obscenely outside, it didn't seem bad to tie him up for a moment... just a very short moment and discipline him.
Arin, forcibly granting justification to the action she was about to commit, grabbed the finely folded blanket and crushed it under her. Stickily...
The blanket spitting out the disciple's scent fully as air escaped.
Arin rolled on top of it for a long time, smiling coldly.
Along with wet sounds that shouldn't be heard.
—Whoosh!
“Kyaaaaaaak!”
“Shh! Don't make a sound as much as possible.”
“Hup!”
It's difficult. Unfolding light footwork within a narrow vision and narrow space, there was too much information to process moment by moment.
Fortunately, direction change was possible in the air, so I didn't hit the walls.
However, the problem is...
““Krrrrrrk!!””
I wish they would ignore us just once, but the monsters turned ferocious by the Dungeon Break detected us and chased persistently.
It doesn't matter if they chase from behind, but occasionally monsters appearing around the corner pounded my thighs and shins wildly.
—Thud! Thud!
“Kyaaak! Th, These things!!”
I roughly took hits from goblins with blunt weapons, but since I dodged sharp weapons with care, I felt the difficulty rose exponentially.
Hobgoblins, twice as big as normal goblins, are...
—Clang clang clang! Whirrr!
—Pshhh!
“Hieek!!”
I stuck my hand in the wall and dealt with them using the Bug Sword.
Since I stuck it in urgently, the blade was damaged a lot, but this is no time to be picky about cold rice or hot rice.
This method also reduces speed a lot, so I don't think I can use it much.
From here on, I have to break through with my skill.
As we entered the fork, a pair of Hobgoblins rushed at us seeing us.
Walls unreachable even if I extend my arm. Height still insufficient to jump over...
[The faster you circulate Internal Energy, the better. Child, you possess a natural body in that aspect, you know?]
I focused my mind and concentrated on the Dantian.
Warm energy spread evenly through the body in an instant, providing a cool pleasure.
Internal Energy spreading like water soaking into a sponge, strength entering the grip.
[Cloud-Treading Fox Form (Uncheonyeohyeong) is a martial art developed to ascend to the sky containing the profound principle of circulation.]
Conversely, I must relax the strength in my body. To the point of feeling lethargic.
[Empty out and become light. So you can seep into the ground, so you can fly carried by the wind.]
There is no worry of the body collapsing. Because the Internal Energy cultivated so far is supporting the Form (Hyung) of the body.
[There is no stage of techniques. Circulation is like that. Turning and turning again without order.]
The body lightened with Lightness Art received tremendous acceleration momentarily.
“Heeek-kyaak!”
The weak wind rising extinguished the torch, but it doesn't matter.
[Do not worry about the sword path for now and try swinging. Fluttering yet straight.]
[? Fluttering yet straight... Master, honestly I don't understand well.]
—Whoosh!
Blood poured out as I cut two simultaneously, but the weak wind pushed away the blood fountain.
—Pshhhhh!
Fluttering yet straight... I didn't understand what it meant well, but I feel like I understand now.
‘Like being pushed by the wind, but my body handling it is straight.’
—Ding!
Without even a moment to be happy about the Status Window certified realization, I ran towards the exit.
—Ding!
Rushing while slicing monsters, the portal started to be visible in the distance before I knew it.
However, the problem is...
—Clang! Clang! Pshhh!
“F*ck what is going on! Why suddenly a Dungeon Break...”
“Shut up and guard here! If we can't get the Princess, we're all dead meat!”
“F*ck!!”
“Krrrrrrk!”
Mercenaries and goblins were mixed, engaging in a chaotic battle.
They were easily sliced with each cut, but perhaps because they drew all the aggro, they were gathered very densely.
The Princess looking back hilkkeum whined.
“H, How...”
“…Phew, hold on tight.”
After pouring remaining points into Strength and Vitality in an instant, I planted my foot on the wall and ran.
—Puk!
“Huh? Uh? Uh-uh-uh! Kyaaaaaak!”
… Enduring the stinging ears, I advanced straight diagonally planting my feet on the wall.
A mercenary who discovered me stared blankly, then his neck was pierced by a Hobgoblin's dagger.
“Th, Uh? That...”
—Puck!
“Marshall!”
When a male mercenary looked up at the place his colleague pointed to last, our eyes met exactly.
“Uh, there! Ceiling! It's the ceiling!”
“Bullsh*t! Focus!”
“The Princess is on the ceiling!!!”
Already too late. I had already passed them and was running towards the portal.
—Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk!
Every time I planted my foot, stamina drained jjuk jjuk.
“This f*ck what is that!”
“Block him! If we can't block him we all die!”
Mercenaries and goblins tangled and chased us.
I grabbed the strap of the Princess's armor...
“Endure just a little!”
“Uh? What do you...”
[The return portal appearing every 5th floor is green. The next floor is blue.]
I threw her towards the return portal.
“Kyaaaaaaak!”
“Endure just 5 seconds!”
Seeing the lumps rushing at the Princess, I planted my hand in the ceiling.
Pulling out my legs and the stuck hand, I thrust the Bug Sword onto the lumps.
—Swish-sh-sh!
—Pshhh! Pshhhhhh!
“This crazy!”
—Ding!
As the front line fragmented, clubs and knives flew at the legs and waists of the flinching mercenaries.
—Puk! Crunch!
“Aaaack! Damn it! Break through forward! We escape too!”
Looking back slightly, the Princess had already escaped.
To the mercenaries rushing entangled with goblins holding torches, I summoned an oil container, threw it, and ran to the portal.
—Fwoosh... Fwoosh!!!
“Aaaack! This dog-like bastard!!”
Mercenaries rushed at me who had my body in the portal.
5
“Aack! Fire! Put out the fire!”
“I'll kill you!”
4
As I swung the sword, the portal became tattered and stuck to my body like soft jelly.
3
Without even a moment to be flustered, the mercenaries and I swung weapons indiscriminately.
—Clang! Clatter! Thud!
2
I was cut and slightly stabbed by knives, but activating martial arts, I split them diagonally.
“Aaaack!”
1
Taking out one more large oil container from inventory, splitting it together with the mercenaries...
0
—Ding!
Seeing the title activate for an unknown reason and the mercenaries covered in fire, I succeeded in returning.
“Ow, hot! Fire! Please put out the fire!”
Coming out is good but I also caught fire, so while hurriedly trying to take off my top...
“Ca, Came! You there! Put out the fire on his body quickly!”
As the Princess gestured to a soldier, the flustered soldier poured water on me.
“Wh, What!”
—Splash!
—Fwoooosh!
“Ah the water! Crazy!”
Naturally, the fire burned more, and as I hurriedly threw off all my clothes, other soldiers sprayed fire extinguishing tools on me.
—Swoooosh!
Fortunately, it seems fire hydrants exist in this world too.
“Ow... Stings...”
Skin burning, I washed my body with water and sprayed potion thickly.
“Gulp! Crazy...”
“Haaung...♥”
…? Wondering what the sound was, looking forward, the Princess's face filled my view.
I picked up the Princess who ran and hugged me.
…? You could move?
“Hey! Hueeeeeeng! Th, Thank yooou... Hueeeeeng!!!”
Ah, the process wasn't smooth but... anyway I did it.
Satisfaction dyeing my chest warmly. I patted the back of the Princess dangling from my neck.
“Celana Ain Bellatus.”
“Hieek!”
“…?”
Looking at the place the voice came from, a Princess who had grown up quite a bit somewhere was approaching us holding a fan.
Next to her, the Guild Master's complexion is pale blue, and seeing soldiers spread out behind the carriage...
“You look terrible. So undignified...”
The Princess, coming down from my embrace trembling deol deol, spoke in a tearful tone.
“S... Sister...”
Princess trembling pitifully, 1st Princess raising her arm high.
Unknowingly, I put my hands under the Princess's armpits and lifted her towards me.
1st Princess's hand cutting through empty air.
—Whoosh!
Dangling 2nd Princess.
“Hue?”
Flustered me.
“Ah.”
“…?”
1st Princess looking at me with eyes saying ‘Who is this bastard?’.
… It seems I'm in big trouble.
