Episode 281. And Still, People Love
[Blue-Yellow]
A strike that occurred because the two attackers chose different colors.
Because I was reincarnated into an F-class body, I find it difficult to handle even the mildest punishments.
So, before the shock accumulates further, should we from now on stick to yellow without considering the opponent’s choice?
‘uh?’
But such considerations are meaningless.
The scenery in the next room that opened was something that was deeply engraved in my soul’s memory.
‘There are no pillars.’
A hollow where a faint sound of wind can be heard.
‘If you look closely, there’s movement magic throughout the space… … .’
This was the last room in the gate.
‘Let’s start with recovery first.’
As this is a trap aimed at simple measurement rather than extracting pain, the dungeon length is also short.
I thought so and barely healed my broken body enough to walk.
Even if I were to waste mana to completely restore it, there was no reason to use my body after this anyway.
widely.
An unknown space with its mouth wide open, waiting for a creature to enter.
I stepped foot in there.
Then, as if waiting, the last room in the dungeon began to pour out bright light.
However, unlike other dungeons, this was not a light that signaled movement through space.
[complete]
“hmm?”
It wasn’t that important, so I forgot about it.
In fact, there is a message from the spirit at the end of this gate.
[There are many things in this world, such as earth, stone, wind, and so on, but in the end, there is only one resource that is the best.]
I thought the performance would be the same.
As expected from a race that loves expressing light, the end of the EX-class gate ends with their rather useless event.
Even those who are deaf can detect it. The light characters engraved during the gate design stage were thrust in front of the attacker’s face.
[A beast of childish mind who has too much on his mind but often empties his heart.]
Sentences that appear and disappear in the air repeatedly.
[Still, people love.]
Well, it’s something the original creators set anyway.
All of this is not really a very sincere statement, it’s just a rough patchwork of phrases that exist on the planet to fit the situation.
[Rain and gusts of wind.
Heatstroke and cold.
Even under all that, the driving force that has preserved people for a long time is actually the incomprehensible sacrifices of a few, the noble wounds.
Therefore, I will judge the sacrifices made here as valuable, and consider the one who suffered the most as the ultimate winner, and give him compensation for his life… … .]
The message has ended.
After another burst of light that covered the entire text in light and caused it to disappear, I finally reached the true exit point of this gate.
***
Now that I think about it, this is something I never found out in my previous life. Why do spirit beings always use light or shadow when they use space travel magic?
As many scholars have thought, is it just a matter of taste?
“!”
“…!”
A little later.
When I opened my eyes again, my enemy was standing in front of me.
It was the moment when Korea’s third and fourth S-class reunited side by side.
Unlike the path we had taken so far, the room we were currently standing in was a huge area where we couldn’t even see the end.
‘Huh?’
It was around this time that I realized that the final area’s shape was circular.
The awakened person on the other side suddenly moved.
A fierce run that is difficult to detect with F-class body vision.
If he were to collide with an S-class running at that speed with his bare body, the weakling at the bottom of the pyramid would roll around helplessly and possibly get his internal organs injured.
But before Kang Chang-ho’s shadow could even close in, something stopped him… … .
Swish!
A thin string of light suddenly shoots out from the floor.
A magical restraint of a completely different form from the iron chains commonly used on Earth.
What is the identity of that halo of light that appears to be a simple white string, but when seen up close, it has knots that resemble human muscles?
‘It’s similar to [binding].’
This was a suppression magic used to strongly suppress the movement of something.
And as you can see from its enormous thickness, it is worlds apart in power from the bindings used by Earth’s sorcerers.
So, Kang Chang-ho was inevitably caught in the dungeon’s trap, and he couldn’t even escape from its confinement.
-Oh my god.
Wouldn’t it be better if people started out good?
Within seconds, Kang Chang-ho’s two arms, legs, abdomen, and neck are all bound by a binding spell.

In particular, the length of the magic that was attached to the upper body was so short that it seemed like it was made for a beast that crawled on six legs, so I had to suddenly kneel to avoid having my neck ripped off.
“oh my.”
chin.
The following scene is unfamiliar in many ways.
It seemed like the first time I had seen him lower his posture, so I let out a gasp in surprise.
When Kang Chang-ho heard that, he looked up at a height that did not suit his large body and spoke his first words.
“……You consistently pretended not to know no matter how many times I asked you outside, but now you’re revealing your true colors like this?”
True colors?
It took me a while to roll my eyes before I realized it.
If you think about it, this EX-class gate appeared at a pretty good time.
thus.
‘aha.’
This has unintentionally heightened my suspicions considerably.
In Kang Chang-ho’s eyes, wouldn’t I look completely like Gisimche and I?
The sacrifice of the master spirit who was captured and unable to move is suddenly released using the gate’s unique spatial movement.
If you repeatedly made rational choices from your own perspective, but ended up in the loser’s position due to the dungeon’s judgment, then it’s understandable to have such sharp thoughts.
‘But no matter how I think about it, the misunderstanding that the core body and the compatriots are very rude from the perspective of an Alpha Uri.’
But I’m just glad that things worked out as planned.
The appearance of this EX-class gate could have caused great damage to the victim if done wrong.
This dungeon is designed to capture an even number of entities, so even if the range is a little ambiguous, you will end up clearing it with a lot of people.
If Kang Chang-ho, a third party, or even an ordinary person who doesn’t know my body at all were selected as challengers.
‘No matter how well you package it, pulling the core body with pain without even knowing the dungeon’s contents is just gambling… ‘
As an Alpha Urinian, I’ve already analyzed this gate in the past.
This feeding box is problematic in many ways because it moves the attackers to the location where they were eaten when the observation is over.
Kidnapper. Victim.
If the two hadn’t been caught exactly like this, the aliens’ disadvantage might have been aggravated during the clearing process.
That was when.
-Pat.
As I was thinking about various things, the ‘reward’ mentioned in the text in the latter half of the dungeon arrived.
A ring of light that looked like a collection of threads, not much different from the belt that pierced the S-class hunter in front of him.
This was a bracelet given to the person who suffered the most damage inside an EX-class gate, and it also served as a sign of victory.
“What do you think this is?”
I stretch out my arm, which is covered in a ring of light, and show it to Kang Chang-ho.
“Do you really think that way when you see me right now?”
Sigh.
But my gesture just now wasn’t meant to show off the winner’s bracelet, it was just to reveal more of my upper body.
This side was [blue-yellow], so the damage had accumulated in return for the situation, and now it was almost inhumane.
Anyway, what is that winner’s right?
The skin on my neck and arms was so dark that it was almost indistinguishable from the black t-shirt I was wearing.
So I used this to make a strong argument to Kang Chang-ho.
That damn dungeon got me like this, and you still think I’m in the same league as the monsters?
“oh…….”
But this guy Kang Chang-ho reacted to those questions in the following way.
“It’s a bit unexpected.”
I guessed that since I was a compatriot of the gate maker, I would naturally not be affected by the penalty.
“I wonder what the strong damage was, but it was a fire attribute trap.”
“It’s worse than that. If I didn’t have any recovery skills, I would have already died mid-game!”
“oh.”
Anyway, is this the right thing to say in front of the burnt bodies of my compatriots?
‘This kid is definitely not going to work out.’
As the conversation progresses, the will becomes stronger.
I turned my head, still wearing the band of light the dungeon had created.
What you see is a wall sentence that will greatly contribute to the creation of this dungeon’s escape route.
【White bracelet required for selection】
【*Last question:
If you can safely send the challenger who entered with you back to their hometown and open the exit through your own sacrifice, it’s ‘Blue’.
On the other hand, if you want to open the exit of this zone without any damage by sacrificing the opposing challenger, ‘Yellow’】
I’m late in speaking, but since I found the question, let me explain.
In fact, the origin of this EX-class gate discovered in Alphauri was a trap with a survival rate of only 52%.
52%.
A feeding box where about 1 in 2 challengers dies.
The reason why this gate only let half of the intelligent creatures it consumed live was because, as you can see, there was a terrifying system at the end of space.
‘This dungeon requires a sacrificial offering to open its exit.’
So, as soon as they figured out the dungeon’s identity, they decided that they could kill Kang Chang-ho.
‘As expected, it’s no different from my previous life.’
The loser, who is unable to move due to his entire body being tied up by the superior magic of [Binding], will eventually have his fate decided by that one last question.
‘Oddly enough, if you choose blue, Kang Chang-ho dies and the exit opens.’
I look like a criminal with a knife to my neck, unable to even protect my own life.
But this was a natural sight.
Hunters with a lot of experience in strategy will probably understand this by now. The theme of this gate is the recognition of good deeds, something that is often seen in traditional fairy tales.
So it’s only natural that the fool who never chose ‘yellow’, which has the potential to harm the other person, will shine.
“Hunter Kang Chang-ho, can you see this writing?”
Thud thud.
The S-class caught in the magic frame tries to get up.
Even though the skin on both of Kang Chang-ho’s arms was torn off with just a small movement, I continued talking without feeling any emotion from the mammalian bloodstains.
“This gate looks similar to the [Iron Maiden] gate. After reading the text, it seems like one of the two has to be sacrificed to open the exit….”
The mood of the voice is constantly changing.
“But don’t worry. Of course I’ll choose blue.”
“……!”
blue.
It’s a choice that appears to simply read the text written in the dungeon, with the winner dying and the loser escaping.
But there is a very detailed reason why I say this.
‘This dungeon is designed so that only the last question has the opposite result!’
This gate, with a survival rate of 52%, was a demon that had defeated 30 of the top magicians in Alphauri.
In my previous life, when I was preparing for a battle with the spirit body, I also had to completely remove this deadly trap.
Even after the [Descent] phenomenon, the spirits continued to scatter food, but this trap of punishing evil and rewarding good simply killed one magician if he was caught in the wrong range.
At the time, I was so tired of dealing with the descendants that I thought, why are we dismantling the trap?
‘It seems that it was only after I took the blueprint apart and examined it in detail that it started to help.’
Now, that is all a thing of the past.
I opened my mouth again, smiling to myself.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“Blue?”
“I chose blue and I’m willing to sacrifice this body. Of course, I don’t feel good toward you, Hunter, because of what you’ve done to me so far.”
“….”
“Ha, I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.”
If someone were to hear it, they might think it’s strange because the sentences are so different from what an alien would think, but that’s true.
“If I had to choose only one person to survive the dungeon, then of course… I would choose a healthy S-rank person over someone like me who is still half-crippled due to poor health.”
I was cooking Kang Chang-ho right now.
