Chapter 191 – The Horned Woman and the Half-Elf

“Delia…!”

Bella, who was dizzy from the impact of the fall from the sky, found Delia. Bella stumbles and runs toward Delia, and I chase after her, alert on all sides of her.

[Relic Storage]

On the walls of the labyrinth, the name of the district and all sorts of warnings were written in bright red ancient letters. Even from a sidelong glance, it was clear that this was not a safe area.

– No entry except for those involved
– No fire
ㅡClass 1 Dangerous Goods
– Beware of Falling Accidents

It was an area called the Relics Storage, but I didn’t see anything particularly old. You can only see the passage of the labyrinth that leads all the way forward. What do you mean by firearms ban? Are you saying that if you use fire magic here, an explosion will happen? I’m glad I’m not a mage who specializes in fire elements!

While I was looking around, Bella checked the condition of the fallen Delia. Delia’s blood dripped from her body as she closed her eyes, creating a small puddle. She was an elf kid who always acted cheeky, but when she saw her bleeding, I was worried.

“Is the kid all right? Isn’t he dead?”
“He’s still breathing. He must have been badly injured from a fall just like us. It’s fortunate that the half elf’s body is strong.”

If Delia was hurt, it must be obvious. That kid also fell into the same hole and couldn’t slow down his crazy falling speed. The secret to survival was that the half-elf’s body was as strong as a superhuman.

“It’s not fortunate, sister. It’s still bleeding. If you leave it alone, you’ll die.”
“Didn’t Luke hate Delia? She cares quite a bit. Always growling whenever we met.”
“Even though I hate it, I’m not so psychotic that I like to see people die. Because Kamp is also life.”

There is no nun Kate around us right now. That means she has to watch Delia die right in front of her eyes. All kinds of complicated thoughts ran through her head, but luckily Bella had a solution.

“Don’t worry. I brought a healing potion before entering the labyrinth. I can stop the bleeding.”
“Nunnaaaaa. If you have a potion from the beginning, talk. Don’t surprise people.”
“I was going to say something, but Luke made a fuss first. Surprisingly, unlike his rough appearance, he values ​​people’s lives. Just looking at his appearance, he’s a total bully.”
“He’s a blonde bully who respects people’s lives.”

Bella pulled out a canteen of hard material from under her fur coat. I glanced at the canteen containing the healing potion with a curious expression. I’ve lived in another world for over 20 years, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a potion in real life. On the continent of Midgard, healing potions that heal people are very precious. Commoners could not touch them for the rest of their lives, and wealthy merchants and nobles could at least use potions.

She said, ‘I heard you have to pay gold coins to buy a bottle of healing potion. So what’s in that canteen is a gold nugget.’

In the adventurer industry, the ransom of nuns can be said to be because of the healing potion. If you use potions while carrying out quests, you will end up in the red. As a 2nd year adventurer, the reason I am seeing a healing potion for the first time is because the price of the potion is changryeol.

Took!
Bella opened the lid of her canteen and poured her healing potion into her Delia’s mouth. After half emptying her canteen, she miraculously stopped the dripping blood. As expensive as it was, the healing power was certain.

“It’s okay? The bleeding stopped right away. If Luke is injured anywhere, let me know. The potion is still there. From my point of view, Luke’s body doesn’t seem to be fine, either?”

After completing her first aid, Bella stared at me. Should I say that she has excellent observational skills, befitting a female president? Bella saw right away that I had been limping on one leg from earlier. Her purple eyes stared at her right knee.

“Your knee is injured. Don’t pretend you’re fine and pull up your pants. My sister will heal you with a healing potion.”
“You have a good eye. Nunna.”

When he fell, he reduced his fall speed as much as possible, but it did not mean there was no impact. Unlike Bella, who has wings, I landed on my feet and felt severe pain in my knees.
I pretended to be fine so as not to worry. If noona had a healing potion, there would be no need to act.

Swoop.

I rolled up the crotch of my pants, exposing my right knee. It is a knee that gradually begins to swell as if a bone has been fractured.

“Sit on the floor and stay still. Pouring the potion directly on the fractured area is more effective.”
“I have a question for you.”

I cautiously asked Bella, who was approaching with the potion.
Even in an urgent situation, there are certain things that need to be pointed out.

“You don’t have to pay for the potion later, do you?”
“Don’t ask useless questions because it’ll break the mood. Of course, it’s free.”
“Uhyo-. It’s a free healing potion!”

Bella’s treatment was provided free of charge. Bella generously poured her healing potion onto my thick lap. At that moment, surprisingly, her swelling subsided and her numb knee regained sensation. Her pain hasn’t completely gone yet, but she’s managed to move.

“Bee, it’s an expensive potion, sister. Can I just use it like that?”
“If you pour halfway through, the treatment won’t work. You can’t let your precious younger brother become lame.”

There was only one sip left in the canteen filled with her healing potion. That’s enough for first aid if one of us gets hurt. I lifted her up, grateful to Bella for her generosity.

“This kid has passed out completely and won’t wake up. I’ll carry him until he wakes up.”

Her potion stopped the bleeding, but Delia was still unconscious. I decided to pick her up and move. I must work as hard as I received the potion for free.

Swoop.

I carried her unconscious Delia on my back and started walking through her labyrinth with Bella. I don’t know where it was sent through the alternate hole. However, it was important to escape the area called [Relic Storage] As soon as possible. Warning signs everywhere seem too dangerous.

“Mr. Luke, can you see the way out?”
“If you look at the phrase written in ancient language on the wall, it’s this way. Just follow me.”

After that, the two of us quietly walked through the labyrinth for a while. The relics storage room is completely unpopulated, giving it an atmosphere like a ruin. The magic lamp hanging from the ceiling flickered as if it would go off at any moment.

Chijijik-.

It’s like a ghost would appear. It’s an underground labyrinth that doesn’t get sunlight, so it’s perfect for depleting your mind. The moment she turned her head and glanced at Bella, I realized that her complexion had gone pale.

“The atmosphere in this area is a bit spooky. If even a ghoul pops out like this, I’ll have a heart attack.”
“Don’t worry! If a ghoul or whatever appears, my sister will take care of it. Unlike when I went to the port city, I brought the Raven Ring properly this time.”

Bella tried to reassure me by flapping the wings of her crow that had grown on her back. She was afraid of herself, but like a sister, she tried to protect me.

Really, she makes me feel like she wished Bella was my real sister. She won’t adopt me into the League Knot family.
I giggled as I pulled closer to the frightened Bella. The distance between the two of us has decreased.

“My older sister has a younger brother? If I had a younger sister, I would be very envious. When I was young, it was my wish to pamper my older sister.”

When I was on Earth, I was the eldest son, and in another world, I was an orphan with no family. There was a time when I wished to have an older sister who cared for me kindly. So it’s not empty words.

“I’m an only child, so I don’t have any real siblings. I’m a bit dissatisfied with that too. I was always alone at home, so I had no one to spend with. It would have been nice if I had a cute younger sibling.”
“Don’t you have anyone to live with? Even if you don’t have a younger sibling, you still have your parents.”
“Both my father and mother are busy people, so we don’t have much time together. So, except for when Delia comes to visit, when I was little, I was always alone. Surprisingly, playing alone was also fun.”

It seems that this older sister also secretly has no friends. As well as her expressionless face when I wasn’t around, Bella had a great ass temperament. She somehow thought that she and I were a good match.

“Call me next time you have time to play. After you get out of the labyrinth safely.”
“Oh-. I have a reason to get out of the labyrinth. I want to play doctor with Luke-san. I have a stethoscope at home. It’s a toy for children, but-“
“Playing doctor…? That sounds like something dirty. What exactly are the two of you doing?”
“Huh-huh. Leave it to my sister.”

Bella’s pale color returned to her face when I was by her side. She wondered what playing doctor was, but Bella just laughed.

Are you talking about adults playing doctor? I firmly believe that my sister will not be so lascivious.

“…Wait a minute. I see something.”

However, it was only for a moment that the fear was shaken by exchanging conversations. Soon, ghouls appeared to block our escape from the reliquary. I realized at once that it was a ghoul I had encountered.

“Ah, the ghoul I missed during the day!”
“Have you ever seen a ghoul?”
“He’s the guy we’ve been chasing. That ghoul stole all the valuables from the labyrinth.”

A ghoul wearing a white robe like a researcher. It’s definitely a ghoul that my lovers and I chased after for a long time. However, what the ghoul I met again was holding in my hand was not a pile of papers, but a quarter staff.

“I expected it, but that guy is a ghoul mage. He can probably use ancient magic! Be careful.”

As expected of a ghoul with intelligence, he must have been a rune mage when he was still alive. He was unarmed when he encountered him in the lab, but this time he came out with a cane properly.

The ghoul mage finally revealed its ferocious hostility towards us. The moment he opened his mouth, a loud roar erupted.

“Barátta-! Thurisaz!”

The moment the shouts rang out, I immediately took up a combat posture. If it’s a ghoul mage, even one of them is an enemy that I’ll have to risk my life to defeat. He prepared to build an ice wall at any time in case magic projectiles would come flying. However, the first spell cast by the ghoul mage was magic that far exceeded my expectations.

Squeak!

There was a black hole in the ceiling of the labyrinth. A hole that looks just like the one that sucked us in! In an instant, countless ghouls fell through the hole to the bottom of the labyrinth.

ㅡ Bake it.
ㅡKuiyiyiik.

It’s space magic! Now, the ghoul mage called the ghouls into the relic storage room through the black hole. The moment I witnessed the scene, I realized who the culprit of the disappearance in the labyrinth was.

“That ghoul did it! The hole he dragged us into.”

A hole that connects different spaces.
It wasn’t something that happened naturally in the labyrinth. It must have been the work of that ghoul mage in a pure white coat. He hid in a secret place and sniped the adventurers with space magic.

In the blink of an eye, the exit was blocked by dozens of ghouls. It was impossible for a ghoul to use space magic to escape.

I’ll have to break through somehow to live or die.
With my sister Bella.
