NOVEL NEXT chapter 5
5 – Transferred to the Labyrinth of the Abyss – 5
“Hmm~”
I woke up with a stiff body.
Since it is inside a dark cave, there is no concept of time. So I just slept when I was sleepy.
This time, I don’t know if it’s a side effect of mana depletion after the battle with Hellhound, but I fell asleep for quite a while.

“Mana hasn’t fully recovered yet.”
Her physical strength could be restored with [Restore], But she was a bit disappointed because there was no way to quickly recover her mana.
[You can purchase Mana Auto Recovery LV 1 for 100 points.]
“Surprised…!”
Then the system said to me, “Can you try it?”
Coming to think of it, I didn’t know that I only used points in the [Point Shop], But originally points were currency used to purchase general abilities.
‘..The points are cheap, so should I just buy one?’
Since I needed a mana recovery ability anyway, I decided to purchase [Mana Auto Recovery LV 1].
“Buy.”
[You have acquired automatic mana recovery LV 1.]
“Oh, cold…”
As soon as I learned [Automatic Mana Recovery LV 1], My mana began to fill up little by little. It was a slow speed like a slug, kicking 1 every 5 seconds, but at this rate, it was fast enough to recover everything when you wake up.
‘Then we’ll have to start again.’
My final goal is to get out of this labyrinth. Obviously, the system said that this place is the ‘middle layer’ of the labyrinth of the abyss, so it must be a place that is about the center of the labyrinth.
But I’m not sure if I should go up or down.
Of course, since it’s a cave, you have to go upstairs to escape, right? You might think, but this is not a normal cave, but a labyrinth in a fantasy world.
It looked like a cave, but there was a possibility that it was a labyrinth in the form of a tower.
So, I decided to explore the surroundings to escape the labyrinth.
I’ve been wandering around for hours yesterday, but I haven’t found any passages with unusual structures.
Before that, the aisles were all incredibly long, and I had never reached the end of the aisle.
So today I decided to go to the end of the aisle where I am.
There are a lot of passageways, but if you finish one at a time, wouldn’t it be possible to find a way out someday?
You may think this is an ignorant method, but in the current situation, there is no other way than this.
[LV 48 Abyss Wolf]
[LV 56 Earth Drake]
-Kreurreure…
“Wow…”
After walking all the way through the aisle like that for about 10 minutes, in the middle of the aisle, a big wolf-like Abyss Wolf and a large dinosaur-like monster called Earth Drake were fighting each other.
At the moment I vaguely thought Earth Drake would win because there was a difference in level and size, an unexpected incident occurred.
The Abyss Wolf accelerated at a speed that I couldn’t even see, and bit Earth Drake’s back.
– Crawl!!
-Growl!
Earth Drake shook his whole body to separate the Abyss Wolf from biting his back, and the Abyss Wolf landed on the ground because of Earth Drake’s fierce resistance.
Then, the wounds around Earth Drake’s back that Abyss Wolf had bitten began to turn black.
-Kraa…!
It was obviously a small wound compared to Earth Drake’s size, but Earth Drake screamed and convulsed in pain.
Aiming for that gap, the Abyss Wolf rushed at great speed and bit the Earth Drake’s neck, and in that state, it spewed Abyss attribute mana through the mouth holding the Earth Drake.
Then, I spewed out a much thicker and larger amount of Abyssal Mana than the [Abyssal Mana Discharge LV 1] I was using, and ripped off half of the Earth Drake’s neck.
-Kwaaah…
Then Earth Drake, who was suffering from the Abyssal Mana, fell to the ground staggering.
It wasn’t long before Earth Drake’s eyes started to lose their vitality.
He died.
‘Crazy…’
I was thrilled to see him.
This wasn’t a battle. It was just a one-sided hunt.
Literally the hunt of the Abyss Wolf, Earth Drake was nothing more than a simple prey.
Earth Drake must have been much taller or higher in level, but Abyss Wolf hunted Earth Drake so easily.
Perhaps the biggest reason why Abyss Wolf was able to hunt Earth Drake so easily is…
“Abyssal mana…”
The fight was already over when Earth Drake was bitten on the back and the wound turned black.
Earth Drake’s wound itself was not great, but he suffered greatly because of the special effect of Abyss attribute mana, and eventually lost his life.
Gulp-
I swallowed.
I wondered if I would be able to produce such power if I grew [Abyssal Mana LV 1].
‘It’s f*cking dangerous…Really.’
The abyss monsters showed superior strength compared to other monsters, and the problem was that the monsters of the abyss were extremely prevalent in this labyrinth.
Of course, even if you were safe thanks to the [Dark Curtain], There was a possibility that a monster with the ability to pierce the [Dark Curtain] Would appear later.
If a monster like the Abyss Wolf could see through the [Curtain of darkness]……. My body trembled just by imagining it.
So I had to be as strong as possible.
I had to be strong enough to defeat most of the monsters, including the Abyss Wolf, Abyss Snake, and Abyss Worm.
Otherwise, I will be the one to be eaten.
-Kreurre…
The Abyss Wolf ate half of the Earth Drake, turned around and disappeared into the darkness as if he was full.
I saw the Abyss Wolf disappear and I slowly walked over and began to shove the corpse Earth Drake into my mouth using the [Eater].
If it is a monster of the level of Earth Drake, the ability obtained through [Evil Eater] Must be excellent.
What? Who said food waste left behind after eating is dirty?
Now is not the time to choose what to eat. They had to eat everything they could eat and rob them of their abilities as much as possible.
Shouldn’t we live and see?
[The Devourer is activated.]
[You have acquired Strike Resistance LV 6.]
[Acquired Envelope Resistance LV 4.]
As expected of a hard-looking Earth Drake, defense-related abilities were absorbed into me.
It seemed like something was getting a little hot, but it was most likely an illusion.
‘Okay, now that I’ve finished absorbing abilities, I’m going to jump out…’
The moment I was about to leave after filling my stomach, I heard the cry of a monster somewhere.
-Kreurre….
“What?”
The identity of the cry was an Abyss Wolf.
But it wasn’t the Abyss Wolf who just ate the Earth Drake.
‘Feelings.’
[LV 39 Abyss Wolf]
The level was definitely lower than the previous Abyss Wolf.
And its size was much smaller than the Abyss Wolf we saw earlier.
Actually, if the Abyss Wolf just now was the size of a lion, the Abyss Wolf now seemed about the size of a large dog.
Anyway, it seemed small because he had just become an adult.
Still, it looked the same as f*ck.
‘Let it pass quickly.’
Anyway, as long as there is a [Dark Curtain], The Abyss Wolf will not find out my location.
So I decided to just wait for the Abyss Wolf to pass by.
‘……But it’s a wolf. Why are you staring at my place?’
[Found the Abyss Wolf special object.]
[Special objects have special abilities than normal objects.]
[The eyes of truth of the Abyss Wolf special object find you.]
[The veil of darkness has been penetrated.]
“…Um?”
Ga-on Park, 24 years old, felt threatened for the second time in her life.
Help me please.
****
Exactly one week has passed since Lee Seo-yoon and Lee Seo-joon were brought to Hwangseong.
Unlike Lee Seo-jun, who was rapidly raising his level through his own training, Lee Seo-yoon was still unable to exceed level 10.
“Hmm… This is so strange.”
Princess Irina called Lee Seo-joon, Lee Seo-yoon, and Alex after a long time and received a report on the results of the week from the escort knight.
“Alex LV 16, Lee Seo-Jun LV 14, Lee Seo-Yoon LV 6……. Ha!”
Irina smiled at Lee Seo-yoon’s disastrously low level and laughed as she approached Lee Seo-yoon.
Then he pulled Lee Seo-yoon’s beautiful black hair.
“Kyaaak!”
“Yoon Seo!”
Lee Seo-joon was taken aback by the appearance and tried to help Lee Seo-yoon, but was blocked by the escort knight, Alpheon.
“Stay still, people of this world.”
“Kuh…”
Lee Seo-joon couldn’t do anything and he was resentful of himself.
All the fault lies with himself, so why does Lee Seo-yoon have to suffer like that?
“Lee Seo-yoon, if you hadn’t had the ability to specialize in assisting, I would have summarily executed you right here.”
“Huh….. Black…”
“I don’t like crying like a child. If you, who should be my hands and feet and support me, behave in this way, I have no choice but to punish you.”
Irina swung her hand holding Lee Seo-yoon’s hair and knocked Lee Seo-yoon over. And she started to step on the right shoulder of Lee Seo-yoon, who had knocked her down, with the heel of her shoe.
“Evil!”
“Your ideological education hasn’t been properly done yet. You people from another world are livestock. Nothing more, nothing less. Rather, you, the princess, who can help me, are treated the best among people from another world. Do you understand?”
“Aagh!!!”
“Does it hurt? It must hurt. Her mother, who is much higher level, is holding your shoulder with the heel of her shoe.”
Kook-Kook-
Irina began to press the heel of her shoe on Lee Seo-yoon’s shoulder even harder.
“It hurts!! It hurts!!! aaah!”
Kwajik-
“Kyaaa!!!!”
Eventually, along with the sound of his bones being crushed, Lee Seo-yoon’s shoulder was completely broken.
Irina coldly glared at Lee Seo-yoon, who was shedding her tears and screaming at her, then turned her head and ordered Alpheon.
“Rise up.”
“Name.”
Alpheon forced Lee Seo-yoon, who was trembling, to stand up while holding her broken right shoulder with her hand.
Looking at Lee Seo-yoon’s face covered in her tears, Irina said coldly.
“If the next report is not much different from now… I will give you an even more painful punishment. Do you understand?”
“Huhhhhh”
“Tsk, Alpheon. Take it to the priest.”
“Name.”
Alpheon took Lee Seo-yoon and disappeared from her room.
She and she sent her cold eyes toward Lee Seo-joon.
“You’re angry.”
“..No…”
“Is she lying to her original daughter?”
Irina looked at Lee Seo-joon with cold eyes and said.
“Go ahead. Aren’t you worried about that foolish woman?”
“…..I see.”
Lee Seo-joon opened the door and ran towards Lee Seo-yoon.
The only ones left in the room were Alex and Irina.
“Are you smiling because you like something?”
“hahahaha! No! I just laughed for a while because I was happy to see the beautiful face of the princess.”
“…..You should leave the room too.”
“I’ll do as the headquarters!”
Kung-!
Irina let out all these worlds and sat down in her chair and sighed.
“One is a coward who can’t even catch a goblin… One is a bastard who sticks out his teeth at the master… The other is a monkey looking at the master with lustful eyes…”
Irina muttered, looking at the sky outside her window, as was her usual habit.
“Is there no other person in the world who can stand on an equal footing next to her original daughter…”
With Irina’s sigh, another day in the imperial castle passed.
