Genius Engineer in the Labyrinth - Chapter 382



Only Noblemtl

Yeongsan (3)

In the center of the peak, which looked like a giant rock that had been artificially cut flat, was a large bone half-buried. It was too big to be a snake, and too majestic to be a mere monster.

Images of monsters boasting overwhelming power flashed through Alan’s mind, but only one remained clearly visible.

“It’s a keel.”

“The owner must be the cloud dragon I saw back then, right?”

“yes.”

Before Alan could finish speaking, Nicola’s body flashed. Light exploded again near the keel and Nicola appeared. He tried to touch her, but then felt uneasy and repeatedly pulled away.

“Is the bone marrow still alive? If we extract hematopoietic stem cells from it and culture them for hemolysis, it might be possible to make them into tolerable cells?”

“no.”

It wasn’t the end just because the bone marrow was safe. The dragon’s blood was the result of fresh blood mutating under the influence of powerful magical organs, such as the Yeouiju or Dragon Heart.

“Of course I know. I’m saying this with you in mind. It’s a special case even among magical overload cases, and if you only consider the mana heart capacity, it’s even better than Depth 7.”

This was the reason why Alan’s magical power control was so outstanding. No matter how high and strong the dam was built, the monsoon rains would not stop.

“If you mature the dragon’s blood inside your body, or if you extract your blood and mix it with it, wouldn’t it work? Now that I think about it, your blood itself might be similar to the dragon’s blood.”

“Nicola, if you say something like that, Brother Allen will really take blood. His condition will get worse.”

Nicola realized that Shiva had not used the word brother. He meant that he was speaking seriously as a friend.

“Just ignore what I say.”

“···.”

As Alan’s silence grew longer, the gazes of Shiva, Taylor, and Zion became sharper.

“Please, let’s move on. I’m going to die like this. Yeah! If I give it my eyes, will the cloud dragon appear?”

“no.”

Nicola was relieved to have Alan distracted. At least there was no more chance of getting stabbed in the guise of sparring.

“Eyes and special spells are also required.”

“Larissa said that···.”

Larissa gave her eyes to the Cloud Dragon. Even with regenerative therapy and artificial eyes, her optic nerve could not be restored, so she still wears an eye patch on her right eye.

The Roman Chairman, who is 7 in depth, also looks the same, meaning that even a complete transformation would not bring back his eyes.

“It must be a special contract.”

“that’s right.”

“Where did you find the order?”

“Are you interested in the physical changes that Ms. Larissa has gone through?”

“Larissa’s body is amazing. It’s amazing.”

“transformation···.”

Nicola’s face turned red at Zion’s muttering. Her voice doubled in volume.

“That’s not what I meant! I meant that the body you gain by sacrificing your eyes is comparable to Yong In-hwa!”

“What are you talking about? I was just trying to say that the pupa transformed into a butterfly.”

Nicola examined Zion’s face, but his expression was blank, so it was impossible to know what he was thinking. Nicola, who had been hit by Zion’s smarts, collapsed on the floor.

“Are there only lynxes at the party?”

Taylor offered holy water and soothed her wounded heart.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“It’s poisonous? It’s good for your health, so just swallow it.”

“town?”

“It’s not good for your body because it contains divine power. Ignore the alcohol.”

Alan walked slowly around the keel, stopping near the skull and speaking to Shiva.

“I’ll compress it and put it on your necklace.”

“Yes? Brother, are you planning to make me a shaman? I like being a carefree monk.”

“I didn’t notice it when I first saw it, but now that I look at it, I feel an energy similar to divine power. Very subtly.”

“yes?!”

Shiva forgot to retrieve the vial of holy water he had handed to Taylor and rushed to the dragon’s back. He threw his entire body into the water, trying to feel the energy, like a dog biting and sucking a bone.

Ten minutes later, Shiva looked puzzled.

“I don’t know if it’s divine power, but just like Brother Allen said, I feel at ease. Do you think Cloud Dragon also believed in Mother?”

“What if the dragon was the beginning of the religion?”

“her······.”

Shiva’s voice gradually became lower and lower. He closed his eyes and sank into deep sleep for a long time.

“Are you okay?”

“······Of course.”

Shiva lifted his head vigorously. He spoke confidently with a look of confidence in his eyes.

“It doesn’t matter who my mother is. I don’t follow my mother per se, I just follow the good teachings she gave me.”

“It could be that he was the guardian dragon of the Mother Church or a simple believer. Or maybe the founder saw the cloud dragon and gained enlightenment. In that sense.”

“Why are you so anxious?”

“Since the remains of a saint have been transplanted into the body, the dragon bone should be okay too, right?”

“Uh… If you use the corpse however you want, won’t the owner be angry?”

“How can I get angry when you didn’t even call me?”

As soon as Alan spoke, the wind blew fiercely. The clouds surrounding the peaks stirred violently.

“Have you seen it?”

“It’s just a normal breeze… No, it’s not.”

Alan found the little boy curled up inside the skull. The boy had escaped before he knew it, snorting.

When I inhaled air through my nose, rich magical power seeped into me, and when I exhaled, it flowed out again.

“Brother, are you just going to watch?”

“Because the little one is a dragon. And the peak is the center of the dragon vein.”

“I thought the magic density was high because of the keel.”

The growth of dragons is very different from that of normal creatures. Unlike creatures that require time and nutrients, dragons grow by absorbing enough magic power.

“Is it just magic?”

“The efficiency is terrible. The magical power imbued with the mystery of the dragon species is the best.”

“The keel is just right.”

As the little one breathed, his size grew little by little. As he did, the keel from the tail turned to dust. When the little one grew to the size of a fingernail, the keel disappeared by meters.

“In my opinion, the efficiency is···.”

“This is normal. There is no such thing as 100% absorption.”

Zion, who had been hanging around, clung close to me.

“Junior, why are you leaving the keel behind? Aren’t you going to make equipment?”

“Because the data provided by a fully grown dragon would be much more interesting than something like a magic tool.”

“The kid just shivered. He must be cold.”

“It’s cold and windy. The temperature will feel much colder.”

“That’s because I’ve always been held in the arms of my warm junior. Now I can’t even carry him around.”

As Zion said, the little one’s growth was remarkable. Originally the size of two palms, he has now grown to the size of a large dog.

When only the skull remains.

Ugh!

The little boy woke up startled by his own hiccup. He turned his head wildly and made gestures like, ‘Where am I? Who am I?’

“It turns out that the saying that children grow up quickly is right.”

“Is it because of the dragon suit?”

“Yes. I guess I’ll have to make it again.”

Kyurur.

Even though it had grown in size, the sound was the same. When it was small, it went into the eye socket, but now that it had grown in size, it could no longer escape.

Kkk!

The little boy whined and begged to be taken out, but Alan just watched. Sometimes, you have to learn to solve a problem yourself.

The boy stared at Alan with wide eyes, then realized it was useless and moved his body. The magical power around him shook, and the boy used his flash outward.

“Idiot. Just get out from behind me.”

“Because dragons use magic like arms.”

The guy who successfully escaped ran towards Alan, jumping up and down his legs as if he was happy. He tried to climb up the bridge as usual, but stopped when he saw his front paw touching the power suit.

Kkk!!!

The boy was startled. He was astonished at the sight of his reflection on the obsidian-like scales.

“Coward. I’ll let you off easy because you’re a baby. How old are you?”

“It’s been about 44 months since I hatched from the egg.”

“The scales are still soft.”

Zion was so surprised that he just stood there blankly while stroking him. Then, without realizing it, he spread his wings wide. Now, he had quite the dragon vibe.

“I guess I need to figure out a way to hide my wings.”

“Instead of covering your entire body with a dragon suit, make it look like puppy clothes. Make it thick like armor, put it on, and pretend that it’s a young Drake.”

“oh···.”

Alan was impressed by the fact that Zion spoke at length. Zion took it as an expression of willingness to take his opinion into consideration and was delighted.

The little boy spread his wings and flew around on the strong winds of the peak, and Zion followed him. Like a child chasing a kite.

As Alan carefully collected the skull, Nicola, who had regained her strength, approached him.

“Phew~.”

Shiva twitched his beard at the strong scent of Nicola’s breath. The vial of holy water in Nicola’s hand was empty. His shoulders shook violently.

“It’s fortunate that at least that remains.”

“A skull is enough.”

Although it has weathered over time, it is slightly smaller than a compact car, so if you look closely, you will find some good parts left.

“I mean the key.”

“No.”

“You didn’t even ask for it. Let’s use it to open other floors. How about the manhole on the labyrinth floor?”

The manhole in the labyrinth is a window that endlessly spits out automatons. Many people have wondered what the inside looks like, but it is still shrouded in mystery.

“I guess I need to build an automaton for manhole exploration.”

“It’s hard to crawl around and explore. Which other floors would be good?”

“I have a problem to deal with first, so I’ll take my time and think about it.”

Alan moved to the edge of the peak. His companions followed, as did the little boy flying in the sky.

As the kid absorbed the keel and Alan collected the skull, the clouds and fog that had been obscuring his vision cleared away. The view from the top was spectacular.

“It would have been better if there weren’t any uninvited guests.”

“Reptilian assassins. What the heck? Was the keel sealing something? Or was it just a coincidence?”

The scene of King Mol-an’s assassination was carved on a stone tablet. The main characters were approaching the peak. They walked confidently, as if they had no intention of hiding their appearance.

“If you eliminate the witness, it is assassination.”

“Have you tried it?”

“···.”

“How many times have you done this that you’re worried?”

“Let’s just focus for now.”

“It’s only a depth of 5… isn’t it?”

The entity walking leisurely behind dozens of assassins looked different. It was like a dragon taking on human form, with horns sprouting out like a crown.

“It’s the 50th floor, but the depth is 6? Why?”

“The peak we are standing on is not within the range designated by the labyrinth.”

“Is this a side effect of using the key?”

“Why is the chance to catch Depth 6 on the 50th floor a side effect?”

The location was excellent. It was a place with a clear view of the plateau where there was no place to hide, so it was the perfect spot to pour out firepower.

As Alan tore the card, a buffalo the size of three tanks appeared. It landed with a thud, and immediately opened its side and ejected the automaton.

The red-hot birds flew noisily, and as soon as they reached the heads of the assassins, they swooped down vertically.

Kwarrung!

Explosions erupted from all directions, shaking the peaks. As the strong mountain winds blew the smoke away, the results were revealed.

“You’re fine.”

The assassins advanced in formation, magical shields with intricate lines rising above their heads.

Alan reached out into the air to pull out another weapon. Just then, a pitch-black door opened and reptilians poured out. Alan tried to cut off their bodies, but the spatial wizard was in the mix, so he defended himself well.

Hehe!

A laughter was heard, and a white-scaled reptilian popped its head upside down from a hole in the air.

“There were two, not one.”
