The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

Naked women were in front of him, but Soon-won didn't even think about it.

He just quietly took a towel from his backpack and handed it to the girls.

“This is the only thing I can cover myself with.”

“Go, thank you.”

The women hesitated, covering themselves with towels. Looks like you want help.

But Soon-won was adamant.

“Go back to the starting point.”

Looking at the color of the bracelet, it wasn't even the same dimension. Even if it was the same dimension, I had no intention of going with a hump in a place like this.

"excuse me… .”

"Yes."

Soon-won, who was about to turn his body and leave the seat, stopped.

“Watch out for men with long cuts under their eyes. He is now the leader of the dead men, and his sword is terribly fast.”

“… Note it.”

As the women left, Soon-won approached the stunned men and pressed the bloodshed.

“Are you going to kill me?”

Soon-won nodded at Lina's question.

“Because these guys will do the same thing over and over again when they wake up.”

“Then why didn’t you just kill him without being stunned in the first place?”

“Because women were watching.”

“Are you kind?”

“It’s not that kind. I just didn’t want anyone else to see me killing anyone.”

Soon-won looked at the forest.

There is still a long way to go.

♦ ♦ ♦

When the men who had gone after the women did not return, the boss eventually moved.

His name is Blood.

He didn't even have to look at the footprints, but thanks to the incense of ecchites sprinkled on them, he was able to determine their location.

Ekite incense is colorless and odorless to the general public, but the blood demon who made the incense could smell it.

It had a characteristic that lasted for a fortnight, so it was usually sprayed on the subject to be tracked.

“Did you?”

I thought that the other guys would not be able to hold out for long because they were dumbfounded, but Cheolrun was different.

Since he is from the same Moorim, he is a first-class samurai, so he had a reputation as a murderer here in the forest of Haster before he met him.

“When I saw the smell, one went back to the starting point and the other went forward. then… .”

Those who are with his subordinates, the smell shifts.

The women must have gone to the starting point, and the ones who killed the men must have headed that way.

“Wait, Cheolrun. I will take your revenge myself.”

A forest where abilities are sealed.

The strongest people here are those with strong basic physical abilities.

And he was a Muslim among them.

Because it absorbs mana just by breathing, it was able to reveal its original power little by little even after the power was sealed.

am.

It was a breathtaking level that did not cross the line set by Haster, but that alone was called a superman in the forest.

♦ ♦ *

Soon-won and Lina stopped walking.

Because about 50 people stopped and could not move forward.

"What happen?"

Soon-won approached and asked, a middle-aged man

pointed forward“There is an ant ghost in the sand in front of me.”

“If you are an ant ghost… .”

It was an insect that dug up sand in the shape of a funnel with the larva of the Dragonfly family, hid in it, and ate it when an ant fell into it.

“The ant ghost is eating people. Once you fall into the sand, you can’t get out, so everyone is waiting.”

"Wait? What?"

“If 100 people gather, we will run at the same time.”

"Yes?"

Perhaps it was frustrating to wait and endure, so a person with a quick temper came out.

"Move! Move! All you have to do is avoid the pit!”

A young man ran over thirty meters.

When nothing happened, the incident occurred when people wondered if they had been tricked into spending time here.

np 乂乂＞^人，

The sand, which had been fine, suddenly began to fade away.

“Uh-huh?”

The man was startled and tried to get out of the sand pit in a hurry, but the ground was soft like a swamp and he kept falling down even when he tried to go up.

“Hey, hey! Someone help me!”

There was no one to help.

Everyone watched what happened to him with curious expressions.

hey hey! 🥺🥺🥺

An ant ghost came out of the ground, grabbed the man with its long tongue, and went under the ground.

“Wow!”

Kwajik! Push!

He heard the sound of his body being cut off and blood spattering, but he was nowhere to be seen.

The scream of pain did not last for a few seconds and ended.

People were terrified.

A small number of people even gave up on this match.

“Is there no way?”

“There must be a way. We just have to run together.”

About 100 people gathered while people were contemplating what to do.

“If you do one two three, we all run together. Do you understand?"

“I see!”

"one! two! three!"

I counted three, but no one was running. It was obvious that the first person to run was in danger.

“Hey! I do not know!"

The person who counted the gun started running. Then the people who were paying attention also ran away without you doing anything.

It's dangerous to go too fast, but too

It is dangerous even if you go late.

Apparently, the giant ant ghosts in this world pulled people with their long tongues as well as sand dunes.

“Let’s go too.”

Among the people running, Soon-won moved slowly. Just by looking at it, he could tell where he stepped on the ground, and where he stepped on it was hard.

"Huh?"

Among the 100 or so people, there was another person who walked slowly like Soon-won.

A woman with silver hair reaching her waist.

She was walking at a leisurely pace like Soon-won, wearing her light armor and a rapier around her waist.

She looked this way, feeling Soon-won's gaze.

‘It’s not just that woman. There are about five more people walking around with the feeling that this doesn’t matter.’

There was an old man, a young man, a muscular man, a boy and a girl.

‘Because the power is sealed, the opponent’s ability cannot be measured, but we must not be vigilant.’

When Soon-won's heart becomes a little urgent

it was small

♦

"this… .”

A sandy area swept by people. The blood demon, who arrived late, sighed as he watched the people who were being caught by the ant ghost and dying.

This is because the strong smell was neutralized by meeting many people here, making it difficult to track.

"Hey!"

A group of men approached a blood demon

come.

“It looks like you too are one step behind us, but you can’t just wait for the next people.”

A man who appeared to be the captain of the group raised a large sword.

With his bald and muscular nature, he swung his large, large sword threateningly in front of the Blood Ghost.

“You have to take the lead.”

“Kick!”

“What is funny?”

“It’s funny that a guy who can’t even gauge the level of his opponent pretends to be an alley leader.

So it is.”

The blood demon's hand became blurry.

When the sword was drawn, it was piercing the bald man's neck.

“Cuckoo!”

As the sword was drawn, the man dropped his bayonet and hurriedly grabbed his neck, but his arteries were cut.

His blood gushed out like a fountain and he fell to the floor.

“Huh?”

His subordinates panicked and did not even think to attack. Because I didn't even see the sword pulled out.

“I’ll give you ten seconds. run You have a higher chance of surviving than dying by my sword, right?”

One of them looked down and fell flat on his face.

“I’ll take you as the commander-in-chief!”

“I don't like to say it twice,

Strike!

his ear was cut off

“Aaaaaaaaah!”

“Next time, I will cut off your nose. Five seconds left.”

Then the man got up and ran

it started. At the same time, the other men ran out of the sandy area.

Key this one this one!

“Huh?”

“Wow!”

The ant ghosts who had eaten people just before and filled their stomachs again opened their mouths and ate those who approached.

'Looking at the vibrations of the earth, you're noticing it.'

You can avoid it if you know how.

The blood demon changed his gait so that he took a step that left no footprints on the ground rather than fast.

Then, the ant ghosts sticking out their heads to prey nearby, did not notice and stood still.

“Hey, that road is safe!”

Without knowing it, those who followed behind the demon were immediately devoured by the ant demon.

‘Okay, the smell is getting closer.’

The blood demon increased his walking speed.

♦ * *

Half of the people survived when they passed the ant haunted area.

They also ran at the same time and survived this much, but if they went separately, the number would have been much smaller.

The rest continued to walk through the forest, and when the meadow came out for a while, they met a man.“What, what?”

A man in a tuxedo with a fedora hat.

He was holding a snake-shaped staff, and his legs and waist were so thin that he knew he was not human.

He raised his hands with a flabby body and gathered the crowd.

“Challengers, you have come this far.

welcome I am Max, who was sent to stop you by order of Haster.”

With that said, people drew up their weapons without doing anything like you.

Then Max raised his hand.

“Calm down. If I'm here to fight, the people here... .”

He looked around the people.

“All but six would have died before they could even see my face, the other four would have died when I swung the sword ten times, and the other two would be hmm… .”

His gaze looked at Soon-won and the white-haired woman.

went back and forth

“I think I can win one with about a hundred swings, but I can’t guarantee victory for the rest. Anyway."

He beat his cane to the floor A long red carpet was spread on the floor.

“My role is not to block with a sword, but to block with a quiz. If you don't have the confidence to solve the quiz, you can jump on it, but I don't recommend it unless your life is wasted except for that guy over there."

What he pointed to was Soon-won.

All eyes turned to him.

"I?"

Lina pointed to herself.

Max gave him a troubled smile.

“It is unacceptable for an adult to intervene in a children's playground. How is it. You watch by my side and pass by when you want.”

Max said as if Lina knew she was Nyala Totem.

People groaned at those words.

People who have played the game for a long time complained about the special treatment of the match host.

“What is that child, is it special?”

“You're out of the game, so I don't care. He's not a player, so there's no need to be first or do anything just because he goes first."

“Who is that child? .”

“Quiz is on a first-come, first-served basis.”

At those words, the people rushed towards Max without doing anything, but a silent force acted on the carpet, allowing one person to line up with their feet.

“What, what?”

People were forced to line up.

Couldn't cut it and got off the carpet

I couldn't go out. It was the only way to go backwards.

"ruler! Then come forward one by one.”

Soon-won was 19th.

The people in front wanted to have a conversation with Max, then bowed their heads, walked backwards, and lined up again.

Not a single person passed.

“Your gentleman has arrived.”

Max smiled looking at Soon-won.

“Are you dear?”

“You are a noble person because you came with Nyarlathotep. But I do not intend to treat it as special. Let’s go straight to the quiz.”

Soon-won nodded his head.

[Three men came to the palace of a kingdom who wanted to take a princess as her wife. So the princess said to the three men:

[This basket contains plums. Give one of you half and one of the plums in the basket, give the next half and two, and give the last half and three, and the basket will be empty.

NS. I will greet the person who guesses how many plums are in this basket as my groom.]

A voice was heard in my head so that no one else could hear the question.

“Now, what is the answer?”
