Chapter 332
Glass Palace.
(3) “The humble thing!”
Hismit Kritz said urgently.
“Now, what are you doing?”
The constellation was no longer voiced only by Patricia's doll.
Hundreds of thousands of dolls all cried out at once from the window that surrounded me.
“If you destroyed me by force, where did you think my existence would fade?”
Thousands of people were screaming like the sky would tear by itself.
“I am the master of all secrets! I gave you a problem and you accepted my problem! it's a duel This is also a duel.
Do you know! Your flimsy blade shattered the windows and tore the ground, but the problem has not been solved at all! Not even the Gordian Knot will be accepted! never! Let's see, the judge will eventually declare my victory...
… !”
“I am not Alexander.”
I turned the hilt.
“You’re doing this with the right answer.”
The blade that has already dug deep into the ground, Quazzie! It twisted with a violent roar.
damn! A spider web-like crack spread around the sword.
My sword twisted the work, and the web spread over the illy.
It was an instant.
“All right, the answer.
what do you mean...
… , stop! Stop it! You are using violence, not force! Violence is, in other words, assault! do you know what! Assault! you boy!”
"okay.
If you're going to stick with it, I'll tell you the answer you know and I know." Find the body of Hismit Kritz in the world of the Glass Palace.
This was the task given to me in the 63rd stage.
And as soon as I heard the assignment, no, before I even heard it, I only paid attention to two things.
“I thought it was heaven or earth.
from the beginning.”
“… … What… … ." "These dolls are all controlled by you.
What I mean is, it's simple.
The moment I'm killed by that doll, Hismit Kritz.
I see your trauma." I raised my lips, "That's what you really want, isn't it?" “You claim to be in control of all secrets, and you are the constellation that you are well versed in labyrinths and mazes.
You are also the one who designed the trauma penalty.
I don’t know exactly what method was used, but one thing is for sure: [Your trauma is terribly It must be a labyrinth that is difficult to come out].”
“… hey hey! hey hey!”
Yes, the dolls are all just baits.
Among the countless dolls that cover the entire world by thinking 'common sense', it is impossible to find the body of Hismit Kritz.
If you go through the trauma and see Hismit Kritz's past, you will naturally learn about the constellation, grasp the habits and habits of the constellation, and where you will find yourself.
It's also hidden, so it will come naturally to you.
Therefore, [trauma] is the fastest shortcut and the only key on this stage: "I'm not stupid enough to fight in the area you're most proud of!" That's why it's the most dangerous [trap]: "All dolls are baits! You incited me while exposing Patricia's secret to entice me to inflame my feelings and fall into the easiest shortcut! If I 61 If I hadn't met the fox on the floor, if I hadn't fallen into the triple dream, I might have overlooked the danger of trauma!" I already realized how dangerous the 'trauma of the constellation' is.
I didn't live half of Raviel's life and half of Master's.
The gap between the 61st and 63rd floors was too short to forget the lesson.
"The timing is bad! Snake!”
The rift engraved in the ground got wider and wider.
A quake-like vibration occurred, "And, stupid!" "Did you not hear me tell you to stop? You bastard! You bastard! Even if the human race is a thousand things that do not understand human words, they cannot ignore the words of the constellations! Listen to me!" "You can control all the dolls to make their mouths move! Wherever you are, whatever doll you are, you can play all of them to your heart's content.
That's---- You're either at [above] overlooking all the dolls, or holding up all the dolls.
You're talking about being down there!" “Listen to me!”
“Tell me the answer to your riddle!”
The land was torn apart: “The site itself built in the Glass Palace is your body!”
The exhibition halls made of glass windows were shattered, and "The land of this world is your skin! No, it is your skin!" Feeling the earthquake getting stronger, I recalled the facts I had confirmed immediately after I fell into the labyrinth: 「The ground.」 「Wood material」 「There was a wooden floor with swirling patterns like snake scales.」 A hint is given: the fact that the pattern of the ground on which I stand resembles snake scales could have been simply viewed as an [interior of the world of the snake god], and maybe [an old shell from a snake as huge as the world].
"Accept my answer! The labyrinth constellation!" The gap opened and the ground fell into the cliff.
The dolls on display in the exhibition hall also fell.
Tanks and pieces of pure white glass fell like flower petals.
Hundreds of millions of wooden dolls fell like branches.
reveal your secrets!”
“Ugh…!”
Tinnitus, the eye that dwells in the labyrinth, Jinmyeong, Hismit Kritz, and his true identity: “[I am here!]”
Jormungand.
Enormous enough to swallow the entire world, it finally embraces the borders of the world.
A monster that bites its own tail with its jaws.
A snake that has formed a world.
“I am the winner of this duel!”
“Ugh…!”
Eventually, the ground collapsed.
The old shell, wide and thick enough to be mistaken for the ground, was torn.
“Yes, bastard…!”
There was only endless darkness beneath the torn skin.
It was a deep sea, but it was not water, so it could not swim.
It was the universe, but the laws of physics did not apply, and it was hidden forever, only without knowing the bottom, forever.
In the shell of an egg that was lost and would be hidden forever: "You! There was a snake there.
“Dare you, Hismit Kritz!”
The serpent was all around the deep sea and covered the entire universe.
blah blah! When the serpent opened its mouth, it immediately opened an abyss like hell.
only two eyes.
['Eyes that dwell in the labyrinth' appear.] Only the two inverted eyes shining bright red with hostility light up this deep sea.
In the shell he had taken off in the past, using the outer wall he had made as an outer wall, this prototype world that did not allow any lighting other than his own gaze was probably the most profound palace.
That is why the eyes that dwell in the labyrinth.
Anyone can build this palace in their mind.
Anyone can be the only king who reigns on the throne.
The gigantic monster, floating in a world where he became king and ruled only by himself, in a palace where no one could rule, howled like an old tyrant.
“A human subject who has succeeded in waving his tail at Hamustra!”
The tail of a serpent, whose size was not even known, struck me.
Probably, it doesn't even have a size.
This is Hismit Kritz's heart and soul.
It was literally the abode of the heart.
The fact that in the world he had created, he alone was huge, and that he was the only thing that existed, this deep sea, was nothing more than a wick that had to be cut to pieces rather than a terrifying majesty.
"Aha!" So it was cut.
“Light! light! The gesture of the viper, so small that it could not even occupy a single point under the sky, was a thousand times heavier than the beckoning of your tail!”
Jormungand's tail was cut off by my sword.
Blood was splattered, and infinite red was scattered to color the world, and although it was only for a moment, a dark red sunset reflected in the deep sea.
"----------!" The scream added redness to the bloody waves.
“Beep.”
With good timing, the fox wrapped around my neck and cried a little.
['A music box just for you' grants this quest.] Between the falling me and Jormungand crouching at the bottom, grains of sand formed letters.
+ [God of Flaws] Difficulty: S- Mission Goal: Ruler of the 63rd floor [Eye in the Labyrinth] Defeat Hismit Kritz.
Hismit Kritz has exposed your comrades and has insulted your honor.
※However, if you die even once by Hismit Kritz, you lose.
+ “That’s why! It is said that it is convenient to attend the constellation!”
“Bayaak.”
“I don’t know why I’ve been ignoring this convenient thing all this time!”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I continued to split the snake's attack.
did not avoid Even if Hismit Kritz constantly shook his torso and attacked him, even if he bit him with his fangs, even if he spewed poison from his mouth, he did not dodge even a single span and struck back.
“Great, … … profit! URG! Whoa!”
Blood gushed out every time I swung my sword.
The darkness of the deep sea accepted the red sunset.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA echo struck the world that should have been completed.
The screams overlapped and overlapped.
Constantly, like waves crashing against a cliff on the seashore.
[The existence of the 'eyes that dwell in the labyrinth' is blurred.] As the waves cut the rocks on the shore surrounding the sea.
blatantly.
Wow! The snake's scream cracked the eggshell that surrounded it little by little.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
It was a world wide enough to contain his heart, but a world too thin to bear his screams.
After all, every palace is a house destined to be destroyed.
[The existence of 'the eye that dwells in the labyrinth' is blurred.] It is as if all dynasties were printed with eras that predicted their destruction.
[The existence of the 'Eyes that dwell in the labyrinth' becomes blurred.] In the realm of Snow dwelling in the labyrinth, built by a tyrant named Hismith Kritz, the ghouls who surrounded walls with dolls' bodies and erected pillars with the secrets of humans The palace announces its end at this very moment today.
“… … right… … , black.
Ugh...
… ." The serpent's groan quietly flowed.
Now, this place was no longer the deep sea that refused to go down.
Light leaked through the cracks that had cracked like a wound.
Drowned in a light darker than the shade, Jormungand had already fallen asleep to the size of a serpent that was only slightly gigantic.
“The more you attack me, the more you realize that you are a regressor… … .
Not just the world you live in! Not only your colleagues, but also your son and daughter...
… Wherever my faith reaches! to all the world! Yes, all over the tower! I will expose them all!”
"......." "My, the moment I get hurt is also the day you fall.
Do you understand? you know? All of your success will be judged as a virtue of regression.
All of your blood, your blood, has been devalued.
No one will respect you, as if you knew you would.
your blood.
your time.
your dedication.
Everything seemed to be, as if nothing had ever been.”
“……”
“Do you know!”
Snakes were really small, if only inflicting wounds knew how to do it.
“Really, you bastard, are you giving me my powers!”
Stones scattered on the road, a blade that was accidentally placed there.
ironware.
It had nothing to do with it.
"Sun." The wounds I will inflict will still be wounds.
You too will be iron forever.
“I have Raviel, I have a family, and I have close friends.
Just as I will be by your side even after knowing Patricia’s secret, Patricia will continue to be by your side even after knowing my secret.”
"......." "While you spent eternity here, I shed blood to win people." It wasn't little blood.
Thin blood, too.
There was no blood that was not red.
“Hishmit Kritz.”
“Uhhhhhh…”
“I’ll be patient with you.”
As soon as he said that, the snake cried out, "Hey, let's do this then!" I silently raised my sword, saying, "I will protect your secret! So that no one, no one will ever know that you have the regression skill...
With my secret power! Forever! I will hide it deep in my eggshell! How about it!? That's enough! You should be satisfied…!”
"Hey, isn't that enough?! !? What if you could use that power indefinitely!? Huh!? How about it!”
He lifted it all the way to the end: "Not only that! My life has been as long as my body! The power I have is just as deep! I can give you more power! I have it! I! This is Hismith Kritz!" He paused for a moment, and said, "Talk! Let's talk! People! Intelligent people don't talk about arms, but with words, come on! Let's agree! Let's talk! Let's settle this wisely, so, ah, bastard Ah, the little star! No, the big star! Confucius! Really, wait a minute, please tell me…!!”
