How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 35: Lucky day

The person standing in the doorway was Roynel. Gilsian was there too.

I heard he was exploring the tower, but it seemed he had already finished.

Roynel opened his eyes wide when he saw Jung Yushin.

“Oh! You’re awake!”

“Yes.”

Gilsian approached Jung Yushin and patted him on the shoulder.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I survived.”

Jung Yushin shook his head.

“Don’t mention it. I just did what I had to do.”

Jung Yushin turned his head and looked at Roynel.

He had something he wanted to ask.

“I heard you went upstairs. Did you find anything useful?”

Roynel shook his head with a gloomy expression.

“Nothing. All the useful items were looted in the first place. All I got was a magic scroll that digs the ground. I don’t even know if it can be cast properly.”

Jung Yushin’s eyes widened.

“Are there scrolls in places like this?”

Gilseon answered instead.

“Various magical tools appear starting from the 5th floor. Magic weapons, magic books, magic scrolls, etc. Most of them are in boxes or carried by monsters. Good magical tools are sold for a high price, but since this is a low floor, there aren’t many great items.”

“Do better items appear the deeper you go? Why do they appear?”

“The deeper you go, the higher the ‘probability’ of obtaining better magical tools. And don’t ask me why magical tools appear. I don’t know either. If you’re really curious, go to the Labyrinth Academy and learn.”

Jeong Yu-shin frowned.

Last time, Darmon told me. It costs 10 gold coins to attend the Labyrinth Academy for a year.

‘You burn 10 gold coins in the academy? Phew.’

He didn’t have the luxury of doing something crazy like that.

Jung Yu-shin returned to the main topic.

“Have you tried going up to the rooftop?”

Gil-seon folded his arms and shook his head.

“No. I came down halfway. It was too high. I guess it’s about 15 stories.”

Jung Yu-shin looked around.

Ahiman was nowhere to be seen.

“Where is Ahiman?”

Roynel raised his finger and pointed to the wooden door on the left.

Jung Yu-shin approached the wooden door and opened it.

He saw the stairs leading down to the second floor. Ahiman was standing there with his back turned.

“Ahiman? How are you?”

“···Yumashum.”

Ahiman muttered something he couldn’t understand.

Jung Yu-shin scratched his head once and answered.

“Understood.”

He returned to where Roynel was.

The party members gathered around the torch.

“I can’t see any way to survive.”

Roynel muttered bitterly.

“If we hold out a little longer, the Labyrinth Investigation Team might come.”

Gilsian replied.

“...”

Karin was still gloomy.

Jung Yushin silently chewed on the jerky.

“We don’t even know where Captain Hans’ party is, so how can we expect the Investigation Team on the 4th floor?”

“Roynel, don’t give up hope.”

“I was just stating the reality. Damn it!!”

Despite Gilsian’s reassurance, Roynel suddenly got angry and slammed the floor.

“Ahiman’s magic has its limits now. We have to find a way.”

Roynel chewed his lips. Then he saw Jung Yushin chewing on the jerky.

“Barbaroi, is it delicious? I’m going to die soon, but is the jerky going down my throat?”

‘When I eat it, even a dog won’t touch it.’

Jung Yu-shin took out a jerky from his pocket and held it out.

“Would you like some?”

“Okay.”

Roynel and Gil-seon started arguing again.

Jung Yu-shin got up from his seat.

Roynel looked at Jung Yu-shin.

“Where are you going?”

“I’ll go to the bathroom for a moment.”

“···Okay.”

Jung Yu-shin took out a new torch and went upstairs.

It was the same as the floor below. There were only dusty bookshelves, tables, and chairs.

He went up one more level. It was no different.

While other fantasy protagonists were like pigs, eating hidden pieces and all, and overcoming crises with ease, he barely managed to overcome them by groaning like a puppy that needed to poop, pulling out his hair, and rolling around.

However, this was his limit. This time, there was no way to survive.

‘Shut up.’

Jung Yu-shin slapped his own cheek.

But his frustration didn’t go away.

Jung Yu-shin went up a few more floors.

He reached the 8th floor after climbing the stairs.

He opened the wooden door, went inside, and looked around with a torch.

‘There’s really nothing much.’

All there was was an empty bookshelf covered in dust and a wooden table that had already rotted away.

“Huh?!”

Jung Yu-shin’s eyes stopped at one place.

There was a wooden box in the corner.

Wasn’t that the box that Gil Si-eon had mentioned earlier?

Gilseon told him not to expect much, but he didn’t know. There was a possibility that it was a magical tool that could overcome this gloomy situation.

Maybe it was a Hidden Piece.

A box that only shows up when a person comes alone.

A box that only shows sympathy.

Jung Yu-shin approached the box with a pounding heart and opened it.

Creak.

The box opened with a creaking sound.

‘Huh.’

Inside the box was a parchment sealed with a green seal.

A magic scroll.

It looked the same as the sealed parchment Carlton had given him.

He picked up the magic scroll with trembling hands and quickly went down to the third floor.

He wanted to climb up the tower and search the next floor, but Karin’s words weighed on his mind.

Didn’t he say that Ahiman didn’t have much time left to stop him?

Roynel opened his eyes wide when he saw Jung Yu-shin running towards him in a hurry.

“What?! A monster coming down from above?!”

“No.”

“But why are you running like that?”

“Look at this. I found a magic scroll.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on it.

Roynel approached and frowned as he examined the magic scroll.

“It’s trash.”

“Huh?”

“It’s a random teleportation scroll. Wasn’t this the one on the 8th floor?”

“Isn’t this great? We can all escape from here together!”

Jung Yushin shouted excitedly.

Roynel sighed and said.

“You’re talking crazy. This is a first-generation scroll. It’s impossible to move between levels, and the transfer coordinate designation method is outdated. In short, if you open a portal and go inside, you’ll immediately become one with the wall or the dirt, the worst of the worst. Especially in this city. If you get stuck in the wall and only expose your butt, that’s all that matters.”

Jung Yushin’s shoulders slumped. He thought again.

He remembered what Karin had said at the inn.

Didn’t he say that monsters avoid portals?

Jung Yu-shin raised his head.

“Can’t we use this to block the entrance?”

“The portal lasts a short time. It won’t last long.”

“Haa.”

It was a fool’s errand. No matter how hard he thought, there was no good way.

‘No. There must be a way.’

He sat down and closed his eyes.

Jung Yu-shin thought desperately in the gloomy silence.

I can’t die in a place like this.

‘Even if the sky falls, there’s a hole to escape from.’

Wait.

Jung Yu-shin’s eyes flashed open.

‘Collapse?’

‘A hole?’

Jung Yu-shin opened his mouth.

“I have a plan.”

“···Tell me.

Gilseon spoke as the representative.

Jung Yushin explained his plan.

The party members who had been listening to Jung Yushin’s plan became more and more bizarre as time passed.

“···How about this?”

He finished explaining.

“...”

Silence fell.

Roynel muttered blankly.

“Are you crazy?”

“...”

“Does this make sense? You’ve completely lost your mind.”

Roynel raised his voice. He looked hysterical.

‘You’ve been nitpicking since a while ago.’

Jung Yushin, who had become uncomfortable, spoke bluntly.

“Are elves naturally timid? Is it a racial trait?”

The veins on Roynel’s forehead turned red.

“No, you punk.”

“Let’s not swear. It’ll make you lose your cool.”

Roynel laughed as if he was in a good mood and looked around.

The party members were seriously considering Jeong Yu-shin's plan.

“It’s reckless, but it’s worth it.”

Karin opened her mouth.

“I agree. Of course, I hope it goes as planned, but I’m a little worried.”

Gilsian agreed.

“Haa.”

Roynel shook his head.

“Okay. Let’s give it a try. There really isn’t a normal person among the Barbaroi.”

Jung Yu-shin went to Ahiman and explained the plan.

Ahiman, who had been listening silently, opened his mouth.

“Umtaku.”

“Do you agree?”

“Hadoppua.”

“If you agree, nod.”

Ahiman nodded.

All preparations were complete. Jung Yu-shin packed his bags.

He picked up the one-handed sword that Roynel had lent him.

Gilsian looked back and said.

“Let’s go.”

The party members nodded silently.

Ahiman released the barrier magic.

A roar was heard from below.

Kwaaaaang!!!

Gilsian took the lead and broke through the stairs.

Golden light emanated from the letters engraved on Gilsian's greatsword.

Since the stairs were narrow, there was no place for the human-faced martens to escape.

They were all cut down as soon as the sword was swung.

In an instant, they broke through the second floor and came down to the first floor.

Human-faced martens were ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) swarming on the first floor.

"Haaaaap!!"

Gilsian gathered his strength and swung his greatsword.

Puhaaaaak!!!

As the greatsword swept away the human-faced martens all at once, a space appeared on the floor where he could stand.

"Ahiman!!"

Ahiman took his position and immediately recited the spell.

Jeong Yu-shin stayed next to Gilsian and assisted.

Tsuaak!!

He slashed and stabbed with his sword. There wasn't much for him to do.

Gilsian stood firm and swept away the enemy with overwhelming force.

'As expected, Lieutenant Explorer.'

Karin also moved nimbly and swung her dagger.

It didn't collapse all at once like last time.

[Abyss Strike]

Ahiman casted a spell.

The tentacles shot out.

The tentacles that looked like they would strike the human-faced raccoons at any moment suddenly struck the pillars of the tower.

It was the plan that Jeong Yu-shin had explained.

Even if the tower collapses, there will be a hole to rise up from.

The so-called Tower Hole Plan.

Boom!!

Boom!! Boom!!

The tower began to shake. Rocks fell from above.

Roynel tore the seal on the scroll.

The first floor was in the tower! The tentacles of the tentacles were stopped at that time. Jung Yu-shin quickly grabbed Ahiman by the collar and threw him into the pit.

“Puldaaaaaaaaa!!”

Ahiman let out a strange scream and fell into the pit.

There was a loud crashing sound, cursing, and groans.

Jung Yu-shin gritted his teeth.

One more hit was not enough. One more hit to collapse the tower.

[Sacred Weapon]

‘If it doesn’t work, I have to make it work.’

What he wanted was a hammer.

He gathered magical energy particles from his hands and created a giant war hammer.

It was a war hammer of a different size than anything he had ever made before.

“Hwaaaaaaaap!!!”

He used all his strength to hit the pillar.

Kkwaaaaaaaah!!!

The pillar was completely destroyed and the tower began to collapse.

Jung Yu-shin rolled his body to avoid the falling pieces of wood and rocks, then shook off the raccoon that was clinging to him and went into the hole.

“Kkueek.”

Ahiman, who had received Jung Yu-shin’s body, let out a pig-snapping sound.

He took out a random teleportation scroll from his bosom.

When he tore the seal, a portal appeared above Jung Yu-shin’s head.

[Random Teleportation]

Whoooooo.

It was a portal that was emitting yellow light.

Roynel screamed from the bottom.

“Are you sure this is true?!!”

He suddenly shouted in frustration.

“I don’t know!!”

“You crazy Barbaro-yaaaaak!!!”

Roynel screamed.

A huge boulder fell on his head.

‘Please.’

The wind came true.

The portal created above Jung Yu-shin swallowed the rock.

However, the size of the portal was not large enough to completely cover the hole. Small trees and rocks fell through the gap between the holes.

The party members moved around like a tangled swarm of larvae in the hole, adjusting their positions.

Then Jung Yu-shin and Karin’s bodies were stuck together.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

Karin continued to look at Jung Yu-shin’s face without answering.

Many people stood behind her. There were few who stood next to her, and only a very small number who stood in front and turned their backs.

As the daughter of the representative of the Suin Union, she had been leading people and fighting along the border of the Eastern Union, so perhaps it was natural.

I had seen many people, but there was no one like this man.

Despite his weakness, he was strong.

He did not run away even in desperate situations and protected the party until the end.

The sight of him swinging his sword confidently without being discouraged in front of countless monsters was still vivid in my mind.

What should I call this feeling?

Yes.

A man I can lean on.

Karin lowered her head and took a deep breath in Jung Yu-shin’s arms.

The thick scent of this man that was gnawing at her heart couldn’t be blocked by dirt and dust.

A comfortable and solid smell.

A lewd smell that made her stomach pound.

Is this the smell of her father who died before she was born?

Karin’s face turned red at the absurd thought that occurred to her unconsciously.

Karin couldn’t raise her face, so she lowered her head even deeper.

Jung Yu-shin looked down at Karin’s crown.

‘What’s with the sudden nosebleed?’

“Hh ... A giant tower collapsed north of the forgotten city of Engrav.

Phew.

An arm suddenly popped out from the ruins of stones and trees.

A face rose after a moment.

“Poohaat! I thought I was going to die.”

A pale-faced elf crawled out of the rubble. Soon after, Ahiman, Gilsian, Karin, and finally Jeong Yu-shin emerged.

As soon as Jeong Yu-shin emerged, he took out a flint from his pocket and lit the torch he had prepared in advance.

The surroundings were quiet.

Most of the human-faced raccoons had died under the rubble of the tower.

The few remaining ones had either fled far away or dispersed to other places.

The party members, covered in dust and looking like beggars, sat huddled together in a daze.

“Hehehe.”

Suddenly, Roynel started laughing.

“What’s so funny?”

Jung Yu-shin asked.

Then, Roynel stopped laughing and started shedding tears.

Large teardrops fell onto the rubble floor.

‘What?’

“Domuta.”

Ahiman looked at Jung Yu-shin and gave him a thumbs up.

“I’m the best? Thank you.”

Ahiman shook his head, but Jung Yu-shin turned his head and pretended not to see.

Karin just stared blankly at Jung Yu-shin’s face.

Gil-seon got up from his seat.

“Let’s go. We should go out of the labyrinth first. It’s dangerous to stay here any longer.”

At Gil-seon’s words, all the party members got up from their seats.

The party members walked through the quiet streets.

There was no attack. The party arrived in front of the transfer stone in the north without a hitch.

“Karin...”

Gilsian looked at Karin. He gave her a look that said he couldn’t go any further.

Karin nodded.

“Let’s go back to the labyrinth city and fix it.”

Gilsian said to the transfer stone.

He touched it.

The blue portal and the red portal opened.

Jung Yu-shin and his party entered the blue portal.

They passed the light and came out of the labyrinth exit.

Warm sunlight and refreshing air greeted them.

This was the first time they came out completely unharmed.

My heart was pounding and a sense of liberation shook my body.

I could tell intuitively.

Imprint.

I got the imprint.

My heart was pounding.

Jung Yu-shin turned his head and looked at the faces of the party members one by one.

The mission failed, but somehow they survived.

No one died. Jung Yu-shin was glad about that fact.

Wouldn't they be able to join Karin's party?

I was confident that I could overcome any crisis with them.

Just as Jung Yu-shin was about to open his mouth, something strange happened.

"Huh!!"

Roynel suddenly shouted. His entire body began to glow.

‘Imprint?’

The light flashed.

Roynel disappeared, leaving behind only his clothes.

Jung Yu-shin opened his eyes wide. A trembling voice escaped from his mouth.

“···Duck?”

A duck crawled out from the pile of clothes.

“Huh!!”

Ahiman also shouted. And his entire body began to glow.

“What the hell?!”

The light flashed.

Ahiman also disappeared, leaving behind only his clothes.

After a while, a small lizard slowly crawled out from the pile of clothes.

“Crunch crounch!!”

“Crunch.”

Jung Yu-shin quickly looked at the two and turned his gaze away.

Gil Si-eon was standing quietly.

“···Gil Si-eon over there?”

“...”

He called out to Gil Si-eon, but there was no answer.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Jung Yu-shin approached and lifted the cap of Gil Si-eon’s helmet.

“Heh...”

Thick drool flowed from Gil Si-eon’s mouth. His pupils were dilated.

Thump.

He closed the cap.

“Karin?”

Fortunately, Karin seemed fine.

Karin sighed and scratched her dusty head.

“Haa. This is really annoying. Go quickly and smell the Scar towel and sleep..”

Karin quickly covered her mouth before speaking. Her face turned red like a ripe apple. Then she suddenly ran off somewhere.

“No. Where are you going?”

Jung Yu-shin muttered in a weak voice.

“Kwak kkwak!!”

“Chirup. Chirup.”

“Heh...”

Jung Yu-shin couldn’t stand to see the party members, so his legs gave out and he collapsed on the floor.

The priest and the guards were running towards him from afar.

But Jung Yu-shin just stared at the ‘things’ that were once his party members.

Somehow, he was lucky.

“···I’m not confident about this.”

Seriously.
