I Became the Snow Woman I Made - I Became the Snow Woman I Made chapter 79

79 – Wasteland Labyrinth

After some fighting, the battle is over.

The result was a landslide victory for the Imperial Army.

Perhaps because it was a land full of grudges, the gods walked sideways more actively than usual, but it was not enough to deal with the forged legion.

The last monster falls,

Dududuk-!

Artan brushed off the blood on his beloved sword.

However, the fight in the forefront was quite fierce, so even the spirit armor was dirty.

“Oops.”

I frowned, but it can’t be helped.

Battles would continue to happen over and over again, and I had to be prepared to get dirty.

You have to let go of yourself as the crown prince.

When I shook my head, Harold’s voice was added.

“You seem to be getting better as time goes on.”

A voice filled with admiration.

Artan turned to him.

“That’s too much praise.”

“No. Your Highness seems to be getting sharper the more he goes through trials. Just like a sculpture.”

Unlike the other soldiers, the Sword Master’s clothes were clean.

It’s not that we didn’t fight. He struggled more than anyone else, which was proof of his skill.

Artan asked.

“A piece?”

“Yes. This is indeed the quality of a hero. Destined to grow.”

Harold was sincere.

The prince, who flinched for a moment, fell into serious thought.

“······Hero.”

A resonant sound that is indescribable.

It was a dream I wished for when I was young, but is it still like that now? At least, there was no need for fame or wealth.

What I want is the peace of the world and… Her smile.

It was the most difficult goal of all.

“If you can make it happen.”

He deserves to be called a hero.

Try to recite the name in a small voice.

“······Quillière.”

Where is she now?

The continent was in an uproar.

If she was good and merciful, she wouldn’t be alone.

“Maybe she’s here too…”

Thinking, she shook her head.

It was unknown, and even if he did, his work would not change.

She and her black catastrophe.

Because the two transcendent beings were obviously hostile to each other.

Once the hurdle was over.

It was time to move on.

“Let’s resume soon, Sir Harold.”

“I understand, Your Highness.”

Harold nodded and signaled to the soldier holding the whistle. The soldier blew his whistle vigorously.

Bouuu!

The noise that announces the advance.

It was the moment when the suddenly aware soldiers prepared their posture and Artan looked ahead.

“······Hmm?”

A strange thing happened.

The front is blocked. No, a dead end suddenly appeared. The open field, which had been clearly opened, turned inside out as if it were indoors.

Artan blinked his eyes.

He stared blankly at the wall that blocked his path and made an unconscious decision.

“The space has changed…?”

Words that are not easily believed.

However, I had no choice but to believe.

The surroundings I slowly looked around were completely different from before.

Terrain and environment.

It was a bizarre and mysterious phenomenon in which the entire structure was distorted. It was a miracle far beyond even the Great Magic.

“······All forces. Pause.”

Swallowing dry saliva, I stopped for now.

It was necessary to investigate the cause of the phenomenon.

“What is this— yes, yes! Your Highness.”

“Everyone, don’t panic!”

Baffled answers came back.

The number was obviously reduced compared to the previous one.

There was also an inaudible voice.

Artan’s face hardened as he hurriedly swung around.

“Sir Harold…”

The sword master has disappeared.

·······.

······The Liberation Army of the Kingdom of Heaven that chased after the Imperial Army not too long ago. Cigna teamed up with his priests, including Lucia, and barely defeated the monster.

“hahahahahhhhh.”

It wasn’t easy.

She was never weak, but she wasn’t overpowered either.

The reason she became an adventurer with a gold plate in the first place was because of her bright intelligence rather than her physical strength.

Whether it’s exploration or adventure, having a good ear is a huge advantage.

“It’s been over and over again.”

“Yeah… Ha. Thank you for your help~”

There was a sense of relief in Lucia’s plain voice.

Signa expressed his sincere gratitude.

“This should be safe for a while, right?”

This was because the number of monsters was by no means small. Lucia immediately nodded.

“Perhaps. No amount of catastrophe could keep sending monsters this high.”

“That’s right, right? Phew… I guess there’s room to breathe.”

Cigna let out a shallow sigh.

Did that remark serve as a trigger?

A whistle sounded at just the right time.

Bouuu!

It meant starting again.

Recalling the enormous amount of money and the friend who became a god, she burned her will again.

“Let’s go! Let’s go all the way!”

──The incident happened at that time.

Just as she clenched her fists, with her smiling face intact, Cigna looked around.

“······· Eh? What?”

Both eyes blink mercilessly.

She wondered if she was dreaming herself.

Or did she fall under some kind of magic?

The sudden change of terrain made me have such a delusion.

She muttered as she touched the earthen wall, which had never been there before.

“What is this…?”

From noble mtl dot com

However, the expected voice did not return.

She looked around her hastily.

There are still many, but obviously fewer people.

I didn’t have time to notice that.

More than that, Cigna was surprised from the other side.

Lucia-san disappeared!

“… Uh. Uh, Mr. Lucia? Mr. Lucia!”

No matter how much I called, she never showed up.

I wonder if it’s not around here?

What the hell happened… It was an agonizing moment.

An ominous roar was heard.

Kung! Khuong- kung!

Footsteps that can hardly be attributed to humans.

They come all at once.

It was a threat caught by the hearing that overwhelms the criminals.

The people around him who didn’t know that fact were cluttered.

Cigna urgently shouted.

“Something’s coming! Watch out everyone!”

***

Even estimating the number of dead who invaded, they were spirited. In addition, he had a lot of energy and was stronger than usual.

Of course, our camp was like foul play, and they didn’t mean much.

Gurl rrr!

The front lines that were built in an instant quickly collapsed just like the beginning.

However, there was no time to feel the afterglow of the battle.

It was because the space was immediately turned upside down.

“·······.”

The aura and color of the uneasy wasteland are still there.

The topography and structure have changed like a ‘maze’.

Looking at the walls and crossroads built here and there, I murmured.

“······This.”

I was taken aback for a moment, but I soon understood the situation.

It was a familiar phenomenon.

The setting of the Four Seasons War, which was dormant on one side of memory.

“So… It was a ‘wasteland labyrinth’?”

It was one of the so-called anomalies of the landfill.

It’s a phenomenon caused by divine power, but divine power is probably spread by disaster.

Then you can see the flow.

The way he touches the obelisk is the same route as in the War of the Four Seasons.

“Due to the setting, the ruins of the gods are extremely dangerous… The results vary depending on the time and state of the disaster.”

Everything from success or failure to the total amount of power obtained.

I crossed my eyebrows and continued my thoughts.

The final boss fight becomes the most difficult when he releases the trigger called the Ruins of God.

Seeing this, it seemed that whether it was a success or a failure, the divine power had spread quite a bit.

“Even if it spreads all over the continent, it is definitely this place that is most affected.”

Landfill.

The whole of this place can be said to have melted into divine power, and naturally, that incomprehensible power attracts wonders.

This time it was like a wasteland maze.

This labyrinth is actually a magical space that existed in ancient times, and is reproduced by an obelisk that records time and history.

“What is this!”

Confused tone.

It was Nell with sweaty hair stuck together.

“Suddenly, the space…!”

I’ve already calmed down, but it’s natural to be surprised if it’s the first time.

I said firmly.

“Calm down.”

“!”

Startled, her shoulders moved.

Carefully, the little head turns. The red eyes that found me were relieved.

“… Quill, Quillier! Do you know what happened to this?”

“Yes. This is one of the magical anomalies.”

“A magical anomaly…?”

“What is that?”

I briefly explained to her who tilted her head.

It is not difficult to understand if you understand the principle.

After hearing the explanation, Nell quickly regained her composure.

“Phenomena caused by divine power…? Then, did that super-spreading divine power trap us?”

“Divine power has no ego. There is a possibility of spontaneous generation, but if you look at the timing, it’s probably…”

My oblique gaze looked up at the ceiling of the labyrinth as if cutting down.

The moment Nell swallowed his dry saliva, he spat it out.

“It must have been a disaster.”

“Disaster… That monster again?!”

Eyelids trembling nervously.

She suddenly looked around her and was startled.

“No one!”

Then he shouted.

“All the kids are gone! It’s only you and me, Quillier…!”

“I know.”

“… Huh? Huh, yeah?”

“Yes.”

Before she could explain, she wanted to check on the other kids.

I didn’t even have to.

It was just me and Nell here.

“It’s split. It’s a side effect of the Wasteland Maze.”

“Is it okay? Can we meet again?”

“Yes. As long as you’re alive. ‘Random Transfer’ itself only harms unity, so there’s no problem.”

It was a ploy to prevent too many people from forming a colony.

Anyway, something was strange.

There are only six of us, but the catastrophe used this method?

“It can’t be.”

He won’t be able to control the obelisk freely, so this is a phenomenon caused by hitting it with force like exploding a bomb.

If he had taken his own risk, he would have used a more effective method.

It’s not that we divide the locations like this and lock them in a maze.

That’s right.

“······Artan has already arrived.”

So the target is not us.

Considering the imperial army’s potential, it’s not strange if he does tricks.

But that doesn’t mean he can’t be defeated by the Imperial Army… Perhaps the next goal of the disaster is annihilation.

We also had to move.

“First I have to join the others.”

This was a place similar to a room, with only one side open and blocked off by walls on all sides.

A common structure in a labyrinth divided into several compartments.

The inside is hazy, but not too dark.

“Uhh. That’s right. I think so too.”

“Let’s hurry up.”

Nell followed me, who took the lead.

I leave the room and walk down the hallway covered in mud fog.

Ddubeok─ Ddubeok─

The road surface I stepped on was hard, and the devastated earth wall resonated with the sound.

Kung!

Limited vision and empty space.

The sudden roar was clearer than ever.

Kung! Thud! Koo-ung!

He wasn’t human.

It was unmistakably the sound of a monster.

We stopped, and Nell asked.

“Is this also due to divine power or something?”

“No. ‘Waste Maze’ literally just makes a maze. It doesn’t produce monsters.”

These are the ones that originally existed in the landfill.

Random potential does not discriminate between humans and monsters. Even at that moment, the noise continued.

Kung! Thud! Koo-ung!

The sound of footsteps approaching me.

I couldn’t avoid it.

We had no choice but to take a combat posture.

I glared at the other side in the heat, and as I guessed, a huge silhouette came into view.

However, I perceived a small figure and faint footsteps that I hadn’t known before.

“aaa!”

“Kyaaagh!”

Those were people.

People running away from being chased by monsters.

At the forefront, her braided hair fluttered.

“Save me! Help me!”

“·······.”

Then I realized two things.

Those gigantic monsters are ogres, and one of them being chased is someone I know.

“I’m dying! The monster is following me!”

With her brown hair waving, she was Cigna, an adventurer with a gold plate whom she had parted with before.
