I Became a Barbarian Warrior Who Hid His Face in a World Where Everything Was Reversed

Chapter 89: The dildo I was pampering smelled like another woman’s scent (4)

I was half dead and half alive on my last trip to the Labyrinth.

Gluttony in front of me was clearly not meant to be on the fifth floor, and it was incredibly strong.

‘Still, it’s worth it.’

This time, there were no Temple Investigators and no party members to protect.

Without the distractions, I could rampage more freely against the creature.

‘Blessing of Radiance is the best thing since sliced bread.’

With the Blessing of Radiance on my axe, I’d be able to put up a good fight if I was prepared to fight to the death.

I immediately wrapped the blessing around my axe and swung it.

Kiiii-i

With a cold crackling sound, the Blessing of Radiance wrapped around the axe and immediately disappeared.

‘What?’

A misfire? It’s never happened before.

The gluttonous creature was almost upon me, and I immediately tested my newfound blessing.

[Blessing of the Time of Judgment]

The world, which had gradually slowed down under my intense concentration, immediately returned to its original speed.

‘Holy shit.’

Wham!

***

‘I’m back already?’

I woke up to find myself on Idelbert’s firm thighs again.

‘I died and came out of the dream world.’

It was a stupid battle. I’d barely managed to catch it with my blessing.

Fighting Gluttony without the Blessing of Radiance was as foolish as standing in front of a final boss as a commoner.

“How was the battle with Gluttony?”

“It sucked.”

“Are you talking back to your heavenly master?”

‘Hmph.’

I asked her, sweating profusely inside my helmet.

“Master. I have a question.”

“Come on, ask me anything, apprentice.”

“Is it true that within that dreamlike world, I cannot use my blessings properly?”

“Yes. It is a kind of dream world.”

Idelbert said, pulling out a hypnosis coin.

“It’s an artifact that forcibly draws out the unconsciousness of the opponent. It’s also an artifact that contains Professor Arpo’s unique illusionary magic.”

“Uh-huh.”

“The artifact can be used to create plausible illusions by combining the remnants of your opponent’s memories, which can be used for training or various other experiences.”

I listened to Idelbert’s explanation, dumbfounded.

‘Doesn’t that mean you’re effectively creating a small virtual reality world?’

“It’s not all-purpose, though. Even if I can tap into the unconscious, I can only use it if I have a strong impression of the opponent or the moment. That’s why I asked you to name the strongest person you’ve ever fought.”

So the weaker the impression of the person or place, the more likely it is that the hypnosis will fail.

‘But it’s still awesome.’

The combination of an artifact and a professor-level wizard made for an incredible item.

Even if I can’t use my blessings, I can still gain a lot of experience with that tool.

I could tell because I’ve been through a revenge match against a monstrosity in the Illusionary World myself.

‘If I use it to replay battles, I can gain combat experience at an incomparably faster rate.’

My mouth watered.

“How much does that thing cost?”

“Disciple, it’s a 24th floor artifact with the unique magic of a Royal Academy professor-level mage. There are only two of them left in the Labyrinth City. You’ll never get it.”

When I showed signs of coveting the artifact, Idelbert flicked the coin with her thumb.

She caught the coin as it spun in the air, caught the thread, and shook it again before my eyes.

“You should be grateful to have found a master who is so generous with such a precious object for the betterment of his pupil.”

As I stared at the coin waving in front of my eyes, my vision immediately blurred.

“You’ll have to struggle a few more times.”

***

Day 1.

I realize that I can’t use the blessing, but the stat bonuses from the blessing still apply.

Now that I’ve realized that even if I fall, I’ll wake up to reality, there’s no need to protect myself.

I leapt into the oncoming creature’s mouth with my jaws wide open, axe raised, and shouted.

‘Giant.’

-Tsk!

The impact from inside the mouth was more effective than hitting it from outside, but without the blessing of radiance, the effect was mild.

-Kwaddup!

I was eaten.

***

“Hmph.”

Idelbert coughed in disbelief.

“Go again.”

-Zhiying

I immediately lost consciousness.

For some reason, my jaw felt stiff, but it must have been my imagination.

***

Day 4.

I stopped thinking about a short game.

I realized that I had to bite the bullet and make it a long game to have any chance of winning.

-Boom!

I narrowly dodge the charge and bring my axe down in close.

The wound was barely noticeable, just a faint scratch.

It was disheartening to see my full-powered axe strike fail to do any real damage, but I put a positive spin on the situation.

‘If it doesn’t scratch, I’ll just keep hitting it until it does.’

-Bam! Bam!

I swung my axe like a maniac, focusing on dodging the creature’s tail attack, which was a free pass to the Jordan River if I got hit once.

I clung to the gluttonous creature’s flank like a leech, steadfastly hitting only one spot.

-Zzzzzzzzzz!

The axe sank in like never before.

Not a slashing sound, but a tearing and splitting sound.

I don’t know how many times I’ve swung the axe so far, but it must have been more than twenty.

The result: an axe mark barely the size of my fist.

‘Fuck. How the fuck did I beat this asshole?’

I laughed, a hollow laugh, but I could see the light.

Even without the Blessing of Radiance, I could still wound him.

Boom!

***

Day 11.

-Whoosh!

I twist my body slightly to the left, dodging the tail attack that comes with a gust of wind.

I jump on the recovering tail and cling to it tightly.

[Kie-e-e-e!]

A resounding roar was heard as the creature lunged at me with its muzzle open, then paused.

It hesitated.

If it tries to eat me now, it will eat its tail as well.

-Bung-bung-bung!

His tail wagged this way and that to shake me off.

I centered myself and used the recoil to leap onto its body.

-Bam! Bam!

And like a rock climber, I slammed my twin axes into its body and climbed to the top of its head.

[KEEEEK!]

I clung to the head of the screaming, struggling Gluttony. If I fell now, I would be crushed.

-Kwaddup!

I prescribed an axe to calm him down.

As with most patients, he didn’t listen, so I repeatedly hit him with the axe until he calmed down.

-Zzzzzzzz!

The sensation of the axe going deep. Okay, that’s it.

I inserted the axe into the skull of the leering creature.

-Kwaaang!

The rapidly bulking axe slammed into the creature’s head, which had been raised high in the air.

“Didn’t I get him!!!?”

I even blocked the magical resurrection spell, just in case. It should be really dead now.

[Keh-ek-!]

He’s not really dead.

It wriggled doggedly, even though I’d nearly cut its head in half.

‘The firepower is slightly lacking.’

I wounded it, but not enough to kill it outright, even with my current strongest attack, Giant Axe.

‘That was the most perfect battle I’ve ever had.’

I’m not even slightly wounded, and the abomination is crawling on the ground, begging, with a giant axe lodged in its skull.

‘Still, I came close to killing it without the aid of the Blessing of Radiance.’

I nodded in satisfaction, and then my head burned with heat.

The visions of Gluttony and Labyrinth faded in a flurry, and I opened my eyes again on Idelbert’s thigh.

“⋯?”

My body felt strangely warm and my cock was twitching strangely.

I felt an immediate erection and quickly raised my upper body to hide it.

Idelbert stared at me, then opened her mouth.

“You’ve overdone it. Your brain and body have been overwhelmed by too much use in one day. You’ll have to moderate your use for the time being.”

“⋯That’s too bad. A little more and I could have killed it.”

“It’s ridiculous that you pushed yourself that far in the first place. Even if it was weakened by the seal, it’s not something a novice explorer can defeat. You should be proud of yourself.”

Idelbert patted my helm with a rare smirk.

It had certainly paid off.

‘Now I won’t freak out at the sight of any large beast.’

After all, a man grows the most in life-and-death battles.

The feeling of gaining overwhelming combat experience was amazing.

There’s a distinct difference between the present me and the person I was a few hours ago.

I wonder how many low-level explorers in the world can experience something like this. Maybe I’m the only one.

Just as I was getting lost in my thoughts, Idelbert spoke up with a nonchalant face.

“Now that you’ve exhausted your mind, let’s try something that doesn’t require you to use your brain.”

“⋯Yes?”

What are you talking about, Master?

“Don’t be silly. You just took a stamina-restoring potion.”

With that, Idelbert took out an object she was hiding behind her back.

Gravity Control Artifacts and even three of them.

One is already on his arm, for reference, so four in total.

Even at the lowest power, that’s eight times the force of gravity.

Idelbert pointed to the running track.

“I don’t want you to run, so try a slow walk.”

“Haha⋯”

The disciple was overwhelmed by his master’s grace and tears welled up in his eyes.

***

“Ugh⋯”

Idelbert looked at Balkan, who was walking like a corpse across the running track.

‘That’s some mental strength.’

Sweat is pouring down his face, his legs are shaking and he looks like he’s going to collapse, but he never does.

The endurance to endure physical pain is incredible, but there is something else that amazes Idelbert even more.

– Ah! I can actually win this fight!

Idelbert thought back to Balkan, who had been killed by the demon of gluttony in the illusionary world and was begging to be reborn.

‘He’s not afraid of death.’

No matter how much we recognize that it’s an illusion, death stirs our instinctive fear.

There would be blood, flesh torn, bones broken, screams.

The primal terror of death, which even the most brilliant of beings must feel, he bravely overcame.

Idelbert looked at Balkan, who casually demanded the next battle, and realized that he was already mentally broken in some way.

“I like him more and more.”

Common sense people don’t climb to great heights.

You had to be crazy and insane to reach the heights of the mighty.

Balkan had already fulfilled that condition.

All that remains is to create a place for the madness to go.

“Heh!”

Idelbert handed the healing potion to Balkan, who collapsed to the ground, after he completed twenty laps of the track.

“You worked hard. Balkan.”

“Ahhhhh, thank you⋯”

Balkan quickly snatched the bottle of healing potion and raised it to his lips. The crack in the lower part of his helm made it possible.

Idelbert, staring at his throat, which gurgled with each gulp of liquid, spoke with a nonchalant expression.

“Balkan.”

His eyes, still sipping the potion, turned to Idelbert.

“Would you like to go to the 25th floor of the Labyrinth, by any chance?”

-Poohhhhhhhh!!!

Startled by the sudden suggestion, Balkan gulped down the potion in his throat and spewed it right into Idelbert’s face.

“Keehek, kolok! Kehek!”

He coughed for a long time, unable to calm down.

“⋯a⋯”

He looked up at Idelbert, pale and drenched in his own saliva.

Idelbert’s eyes were tightly shut.

The liquid he’d splashed dripped down her sleek, sharp jawline.

The droplets trickled down her leotard and into her ample cleavage.

“⋯⋯”

“⋯⋯”

After a minute of terrifying, creepy silence, that seemed like an hour, Idelbert spoke.

“⋯How dare you splatter saliva on your heavenly master?”

Balkan felt a shiver run down his spine at Idelbert’s words.

That exhilarating sensation he’d felt when he’d been gaze-raped.

“Ah, no. That, Master. This is such a mistake-”

Idelbert’s tightly closed eyes slowly opened and wet with moisture, they glared at Balkan.

“I guess you could say this is a request to commit a crime.”

Idelbert ran her hand over the liquid running down her jawline and smeared it on her lips.

The red lips were moistened with the liquid.
