Genius Engineer in the Labyrinth - Chapter 354



Only Noblemtl

Diver (4)

Information monsters come in a variety of shapes and sizes: a soda can with a cat’s head on it, a rainbow-colored sparrow, a civilization-building pigeon, you name it.

They are born from images, photographs, drawings, and books floating around in the universe. Their forms are innumerable, but they have one thing in common: their bodies are made of information, and their blood is dirty magic.

So the spoils of the hunt are fragmented information and unique magic. The tuna that Alan captured is no exception.

Catherine told her colleagues to check out the base, while she listened to Alan’s story.

“The marlin fled from the roar of the deep.”

“Are you the owner?”

“Maybe…, yes. Does it often happen that information monsters get scared and scatter?”

“Oh, just a moment.”

The magical signal that had escaped from the third base reached Catherine’s body. It was information passed on by her colleague.

“Comrades from bases 4 and 5 have fled here. They were attacked by another entity.”

“What about the answer to your question?”

“I don’t mind one or two, but this is the first time we’ve seen multiple of them move at the same time. The same goes for the experience of having our first base attacked.”

It is almost certain that Kamai and the Devil are the main culprits of the deep sea changes. Now all that remains is to go down and see for yourself.

Oros, Nicola, and Catherine were serious risk takers, so there was no way they would turn down an offer Alan would make.

“Go down···”

He nodded before they could finish speaking. Of course, Alan was ready to go down before they could even accept. He waved his arm, still attached to the tuna’s head.

Usually, erosion is what the deep sea does to the diver, but this time it was the other way around. The sane human mind was invaded by the dirty monster.

The power suit avatar disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the tuna’s cloudy, black eyes scattered clear light.

Alan, who had transformed into a bluefin tuna, circled around. There was a brief commotion as the divers who were repairing the base and treating their comrades were startled and prepared for battle.

I brought the Deep Sea Light Diver with me as a guide, but now that I know the way and have a great mount like the Blue Marlin, there’s no reason for me to go with you.

Alan returned to his original position. The tuna was the size of a large bus and displaced a large amount of liquid, and Oros grabbed Nicola, who was trying to float away.

While Nicola was swearing with his expression, Catherine came closer to his head.

“Are you okay?”

“yes.”

“Mr. Allen’s method is known to divers and sharks, but they do not practice it because of mental contamination. So be careful of erosion.”

As Catherine had said, there were still sinister whispers. Absurd persuasion to unite, to relax and accept things like that.

But no amount of temptation could shake Alan’s heart. It was too solid and vast.

Alan modified the back of the bluefin tuna into a fighter cockpit. The moment Oros, Nikola, and Catherine boarded, they escaped the giant float.

The reason for boarding is because the tuna is so fast. Even if mental power and magical power determine the speed in all things, it is bound to fall behind compared to the information monsters born in the deep sea.

“Hey, slow down… Ugh!”

“Magician Nicholas, do it by holding your breath like your sister-in-law.”

“Huh, huh, huh!”

The faster you go, the less time you have to adjust to the pressure of the deep sea. You have to keep your wits about you to avoid being eaten.

Alan increased his speed as he watched the people holding on. He started the jet engine on the tail fin. Normally, it would spit out high-temperature gas, but here it sprayed black liquid.

The tuna dove into the black liquid, swimming down, down, down into the vast, empty, ever-widening abyss below.

The density of the liquid gradually increased. In the vicinity of Base 3, it was a jelly that would melt in your mouth, but now it has become a jelly that you have to chew to eat.

The remains of Base 5 were just what Allen’s eyes had caught. A blue marlin had landed inside the base, its fins waving noisily.

Alan just poked his head in front of Nicola’s seat.

“I’m of sound mind···.”

“Eww!”

“I can feel the health from the powerful scream.”

The magical power of the three people was weakened. Although they had turned pale in real life, they were more than capable of enduring this much.

Oros pounded his chest with his fist as if he was doing CPR. Then, the faint image became clearer. In a realistic expression, his color returned.

“How far do I have to dive, Alan?”

“You just have to go as far as you came down.”

Nicola and Catherine’s complexions brightened.

“As far as five bases from the sea of ​​clouds.”

It got dark again.

Nicola pretended to vomit. But since it was his choice to go along, he had to endure it with evil. Or he could pass out and be carried around like a piece of luggage. Of course, his pride wouldn’t allow it, so he began to gather his wits.

“I’ll give you 30 minutes to adjust.”

“It’s too short. People need some time to relax. How about an hour…”

Grow up!

The sound of crying from below drowned out Nicola’s words. It was the same demonic roar she had heard in her memories of the Necropolis and the Blue Marlin.

“It’s closer than I thought. I’m going.”

Alan tuned the tuna. Now even its pectoral fins had turned into jet engines. The boat hurtled toward the abyss at a faster speed than before.

Alan has good eyesight. It has become even stronger since he realized ‘observation’ in his mind. That’s how he saw through the veil of the deep sea.

A light flashed down there.

A large shadow appeared.

There was a loud lightning strike.

A hideous shadow squirmed.

The moment Alan captured the demon, its spirit also looked at Alan.

‘······.’

I realized I had passed out for a moment.

‘0.1 seconds.’

Even if it was short, a faint is a faint. If Zion had been the enemy, it would have been enough time to swing the sword several times. Even the demon’s spirit wasn’t all directed at Alan.

Alan slowed down and built up a thick mental barrier, keeping his distance and sharpening his vision to the max.

‘His condition is not normal.’

All eight sea serpents, with tentacles instead of tentacles, were crushed and hung limp. Their heads and torsos were covered in wounds.

There was another reason for the screaming. The turquoise chains, which were the same color as Kamai’s magic, greatly restricted the creature’s freedom. When the demon went crazy, the chains tightened with more force.

‘Where is Kamai?’

Even though I looked around with my eyes wide open, I couldn’t find any trace of him. He must have sacrificed himself to seal the demon, or he was tied up and eaten. All sorts of speculations flashed through my head.

‘Can information monsters devour souls?’

Anyway, the devil was also an information monster. If you hunted him down and dug up his body, you could get the information he had acquired so far.

But who could do that? Even though Kamai was not in perfect condition, he was a monster that defeated him.

The demon was heading towards the depths of the ocean. Now there were two options left.

‘Either risk it and chase after it, or go back to reality…’

Then, a third path appeared in Alan’s eyes. A bite-size piece of fish was floating far away from the demon.

The tuna that Alan dominated had a heightened appetite because it was such a delicious piece. And a few monsters appeared that ignored the demon’s fear and licked their lips.

‘Where do you dare.’

As expected of an information monster that had been holding out here, he was quite large, but to Alan, he was just an obstacle that had to be cleared away.

Ignoring the sinking demon, I increased my speed. The tuna’s upper jaw became viciously sharp. It was so fast that it looked like a spear.

Alan pierced the teddy bear-like monster from head to butt. He tore the TV-bound golem apart. He tore the cockroach with the goblin’s head apart.

“Eww!”

Someone screamed as they passed through the remains of the cockroaches.

Finally, the tuna took a piece of the devil in its mouth. Then, a huge amount of juice, no, information, flowed out. It was more than even a large library could store.

The three people on board the back couldn’t miss this opportunity.

“Gyaaaah!”

“A healthy body has enormous knowledge···, ugh···.”

Catherine and Oros couldn’t handle the mental saturation and passed out one after another. One of the unidentified people was quiet because he had passed out beforehand because of the cockroaches.

The hidden contamination in every corner was quite serious, so it was a much better result than absorbing it.

Alan quickly rolled his eyes in the flood of information. Most of the information sinking into the deep sea was nothing more than fragments or scraps, so even though it was abundant, its substance was weak.

Perhaps because of the strong pressure of the deep sea, information was absorbed quickly. In times like these, you had to be selective and focused instead of being greedy.

‘Knowledge is power.’

Alan thought of a well-known phrase. It wasn’t a slogan about studying hard, but a universal truth. Because the more powerful the mystic knowledge, the more magical it is.

I opened my eyes and looked at the torrent of knowledge. Each piece of information had a different color and brightness.

‘Where is the brightest knowledge… I found it.’

The tuna shook its body, swimming against the current of information like a salmon swimming against a waterfall.

Alan’s hand suddenly emerged from the tuna’s gills. The most conspicuous fragment of knowledge touched his palm. It was the brightest, and therefore the most secret and precious.

Indeed, a heavy, mind-boggling voice penetrated my mind.

[You protect this, which is as precious as our lives. ······. Punish the foolish ones who fell into the trap.]

The devil of the deep held something shining in his arms. And he kept it. 100 years, 200 years, ···, 500 years, ···.

‘The history of all things in the universe is only 100 years.’

Alan’s mind returned to reality, or rather, to the deep sea. The devil had existed longer than all things. He thought it was an information monster born from all things, but when he opened the package, it was not.

Alan Maan and Youngan appeared at the same time. Although the burden was severe, I maintained my condition and observed the sinking demon.

The devil was a being made of indescribable magical power. No matter how hard I tried to observe it, I couldn’t see it.

At that moment, Yeongan caught sight of something. A whitish shape was slightly protruding above the head of the Serpent.

‘Soul…is it?’

The spirit eye was recently acquired and lacked growth, but it looked strangely good. I could only guess that it was affected by the Kamaishi magic flowing around it.

The demon writhed in the turquoise chains. Then one of the sea serpents that had been crushed by the other head broke free. With difficulty, it lowered its head again.

But Alan’s psychic eyes caught something. The upper body of a gnarled old man – perhaps his soul – poked out slightly above the head of the Sea Serpent, which lay seemingly dead.

‘Why is Catan there···.’

It was Katan, who had tried to parasitize on Alan’s mind but was defeated, and then hid and fought against the residual thoughts of the Red Dragon. The Katan that Alan met was nothing more than a residual thought, but it looked exactly the same.

I tried to look closely, but the demon’s body had completely disappeared from my sight. Only its outline was faintly visible.

Alan stopped trying to steer the tuna.

‘It’s a hassle now.’

The density of the deep sea was just about to reach solid levels.

‘You can go down further.’

But there was no guarantee of a safe return.

Put your life on the line to solve your curiosity, or acknowledge your limitations and turn back.

Alan’s gaze fell on the unconscious passenger. The tuna remained still for a moment before soaring into the sea of ​​clouds.

The three returned to reality and received a mind wash. They only remembered arriving at Site-5 and hearing the demon’s roar. After that, it was only in Alan’s head.
