#7 – Admit me to evil spirits (8)

[One of the seven taboos of the labyrinth, ＜Legia’s Jar> has appeared.]

popped up

Lygia’s jar floated away.

“Ahhh!”

The party members woke up in confusion at Lina’s sharp scream.

“Is it low?”

“How many little ones!”

“Where is the enemy!?”

Lina screamed and pointed to the jar.

“There! Over there!”

“It’s a jar! …so what does this mean?”

“A jar has appeared!”

The party members turned into worm-chewing faces.

“So, the jar appeared and made this commotion?”

“Of course! A jar has appeared!”

“Haha… what the hell is the jar causing such a fuss?”

Kuro said in a nervous tone.

“Hey, Mosaic. Say what you said too. This pot…”

“Hey, don’t kick it! It’s dangerous! You might get killed!”

“You too!? Worried about getting killed by the jar, what’s wrong with your brain? Why are you throwing Yunan in pairs because this jar is so scary?”

Cheongil, the nanny, and Dorothy Aegis also expressed their feelings of discomfort. That’s a very natural reaction for those who don’t know the jar.

Like me, I fell asleep after finishing the night, but someone urgently woke me up and said, ‘A jar has appeared!!’ If you shout something like that, I will hit you with bamboo bread.

“boss. Isn’t this a bit too much? I don’t know if it’s jar phobia or what…”

“stop!”

“Yes?”

“If you put your hand in it, something big will happen.”

“Uh… is this really dangerous?”

I thought it was that women were making a fuss when Lina and the mosaic woman were making a fuss, but when even the boss, me, showed a wary attitude, I think I finally felt a sense of crisis.

Kuro, who was about to put his hand into the jar, hesitated and backed away. Cheong-il, who looked into the jar, was puzzled.

“Is this jar a mimic?”

“It’s similar.”

“It’s similar… well, it doesn’t really matter. Can I be slaughtered?”

I shook my head.

“It will be of no use. If you don’t believe it, you can try it yourself. However, the main weapon must not be used.”

Cheong-il breathed energy into the spare long sword and unleashed a quick sword.

Kaan!

The broken blade bounced with sharp sparks.

“Uh, what a robber…!! It’s harder than a rock wall. What the hell is this pot?”

“It is a pot of Lygia. It is a dangerous object that has not yet been fully identified, so do not approach it hastily.”

“Oh, I see.”

The party members carefully got out of their sleeping bags and retreated to my side.

Dorothy Aegis asked me in a low voice.

“Husband. What kind of thing is that jar?”

“It is an object that devours an object with its name on it. Moreover, it possesses the nature of a summoned creature. When someone calls your name, you may jump out of space and appear at the nearest dead end.”

“Ahh… how did such an ominous and eerie urn appear here?”

Lina desperately avoided her gaze.

Feeling a little betrayed, I answered instead.

“I mentioned Lygia’s jar to tell Lina a scary story. I think that was the cause of the specific mention up to that point.”

“Bo, Boss is right. I was looking at the bonfire all the time, and suddenly a shadow fell and this jar appeared.”

“A pot that is summoned simply by calling its name and devours people, it is an incredibly terrifying object. How did you come to know about these things?”

It was quite a long time ago, so it was not easy to recall the memories.

But somehow I was able to recall the memories.

“It was written in the ＜Forbidden Book> I saw in the secret archive of the Imperial Library.”

“Hey, boss! Did you tell Lina the story written in such an awkward place!?”

“Weren’t you the one who wanted a scary story? I just took it out because I thought this would be enough to scare you too. uhm. I am aware of being frivolous, but…”

The party members looked at me with astonished faces. There were few sarcasm that he knew that well.

Rather, when I asked him to tell a scary story, he seemed afraid of the fact that he had caused a terrifying bizarre phenomenon in front of his eyes.

“boss. Is that jar the only story written in that forbidden book?”

“It was a book called the 7 taboos related to the labyrinth. There must have been six more.”

“… … .”

“Don’t make that face. After going through something like this, I won’t even come out with any other taboos.”

“Really please. Even now, I feel goosebumps and my heart is pounding.”

Kuro said so as he pleaded. Even though he was not an NPC, he was a gamer, but he seemed to have no tolerance for this bizarre phenomenon.

Dorothy Aegis grabbed Lina at all and promised that she would never ask me to tell her scary stories in the future.

“But what about this jar now? If the person whose name is written on dies, isn’t this dangerous for us too?”

I was truly frightened by the cold remarks of the Sino-Japanese.

“Really.”

If you throw away the jar, you will feel at ease right now.

But after that?

If someone accidentally finds this jar and accidentally writes my name on a name tag, what will happen after that will be something I don’t even dare to imagine.

“boss. If your name is written on your name tag, will you die unconditionally?”

“If your name is written on, you must never set foot in the labyrinth again. According to what is written in the forbidden book, Lygia’s urn is only effective within the labyrinth.”

“What a terrible jar.”

“The best response is not to buy a grudge worthy of your name. Because this jar is a dangerous substance that appears beyond space just by mentioning its existence.”

“Are there any precautions?”

it’s a precaution

For once there is There is, but…

“If your enemy finds out about the existence of the urn, you can write the opponent’s name on the urn first, or lure the opponent out of the labyrinth and get rid of it quickly by any means.”

Cheongil’s eyes fluttered violently.

“boss. Are you going to kill us all?”

The party members’ complexions hardened.

killing slaughter.

It seems that he had a ghastly imagination about the brutality of the solution he had been informed of.

“Stupid boy. If I was going to throw you away for this, would I have instructed you to sharpen the white bodhisattva in order to apply the training method made by grinding dragon hearts to you?”

The amount of material support is directly related to the size of credit.

The party members were barely relieved.

“However, if a party other than ours acquires Lugia’s pot, I cannot guarantee my life.”

“Ugh! Is it possible that even the boss, who has entered the ranks of absolute limit, will be devoured if his name is written on this jar?”

“Yes.”

According to the records of the forbidden book, Lugia was a treasure hunter with tremendous skills that freely crossed the middle and lower floors of the labyrinth. Even such a person could not escape death in the end, so what would I do differently?

The labyrinth is so scary

Aside from his skills, risk factors beyond imagination suddenly pop out and cause a bout of blood. As such, playing monster wave and hierarchical bosses is only part of the risk factor.

“boss. Then, if only us crack down on the law, will the information about this jar not spread?”

“Yes.”

“If it can’t be broken and someone finds it and only harms it, why not take it with you?”

Everyone was dumbfounded at the shocking proposal from China and Japan, and their mouths opened.

“Let’s carry something that might be eaten if we are unlucky!?”

“If it comes in contact with the liquid inside, it will pierce the floor!”

“If you tip over while holding a jar, you may die instantly!”

I also agreed with that opinion.

“The liquid in Lugia’s jar is a kind of digestive juice. When food is scarce or food cravings occur, it gradually accumulates. If it overflows, the person holding it may die.”

Chong-il realized that he could not carry it around, and thought with a serious expression.

“Then what should I do?”

“You must offer sacrifices.”

“Are you going to use the name of another adventurer?”

I nodded.

“boss. Is it really true that our goal is to attack the labyrinth?”

Cheongil expressed dissatisfaction.

“Recently, black mountain sashimi has been regarded as a hotbed of evil. All I hear is that it is a den of the vanishing, corrupt and sick people called powerful powers or emerging organizations that rule the continent.”

“therefore?”

“It was good to destroy the Alphonse dynasty, which had been carrying out evil activities in partnership with the demons, but honestly, I have doubts about what happened after that. I did not come to the Black Mountain Society for the sake of evil deeds.”

Come to think of it, why did this guy come to the Black Mountain Society?

I don’t remember well.

“Then how did you get into the Black Mountain Society?”

“Yeah..”

Cheng-il was startled and startled.

Then, suddenly, he looked into my eyes and started sweating profusely.

“Because I respect the boss, Bo.”

“What?”

“I liked the supremely cruel and ruthless deed, not the usual evil deeds. So let’s write down all the names of the adventurers we encounter.”

what is this guy

Although he was trembling, he replied that he would understand.

“Then you carry this with you.”

“…All right.”

Since Lygia’s jar is classified as a ‘creature’, it cannot be carried in the inventory or subspace pocket. Qing-il was carrying a jar of porcelain while making the statue of death.

Lina stared intently at Cheong-Il, then suddenly kicked her leg.

“!?”

Chong-il was startled and lowered his posture.

“What are you doing!”

“It’s a suit that annoys the boss. Bar-bo.”

These guys are really tired.

After the camp was over, we started moving right away. He couldn’t really walk around killing all the adventurers he encountered, so the urn was covered with a large furoshiki.

As long as you don’t show unnecessary curiosity and peek at the contents, you don’t have to worry about your identity being revealed.

But in case you don’t know, I’ve taken minimal measures just in case. He cracked down on the mouths of the party members and made no mention of Ligia’s pot afterwards.

“Do I even need to do that? Anyway, the chances of meeting another party in the wide labyrinth are really slim. In particular, we don’t run into any monsters at all.”

“It was called Yubi Muhwan. You should prepare this in advance so that you will not regret it later. There’s nothing wrong with being cautious because it’s a life-threatening job.”

The party members meekly agreed.

And I was quickly relieved to have made this decision.

“Ah, a huge number of people are coming in front.”

“How many people?”

“More than twenty.”

As Rave said, I met a bunch of people in the passageway on the B5 floor.

“Wow, look at that party. It’s a great piece of equipment.”

“Ugh! Goo, the king!”

“What!? Why is the fear lord in the labyrinth!?”

You recognize my face well.

The adventurers were terrified, and a representative approached and greeted them.

“We are the LeBlanc raid. This is the way back after attacking the Orc Cave dungeon located on the upper level of the labyrinth thanks to the grace of His Majesty the King. It is truly an honor to meet you like this.”

“is it. It’s a little bit fun to meet promising adventurers. I’m busy right now, so I’ll get past it first.”

“Yes, of course. We will clear the way.”

The adventurers retreated. We went ahead and passed.

But there is a problem.

The aisle was cramped and the jar carried by Cheongil was too large.

“… … .”

The adventurers continued to retreat to avoid the Sino-Japanese.

We moved on.

Things started to turn subtly.

“I… can’t we just unpack that bag?”

The adventurers began to gradually become aware of their back.

It’s just unreasonable to be unaware of that.

It’s bigger than a human, but I can’t help but look at it.

Since there were not one or two victims of Lygia’s urn, the size also appears to be considerably larger than that recorded in the forbidden book.

The problem is that even if you put this down, adventurers have to go over their backs to pass.

If I ever fell while crossing a jar covered in cloth, I would have suffered terrible things. I shook my head, and Cheong-il spoke coldly with a hardened expression on his face.

“I cannot put this burden down. Back off until the way is opened.”

“Clap!”

“Ugh! Did you just hear something inside the furoshiki?”

This crazy jar is making a drooling sound.

Cheongil responded by laying an iron plate on his face.

“I didn’t hear it.”

“But obviously…”

“If you heard something, it’s something you shouldn’t have heard. Are you saying you heard something you shouldn’t have heard?”

Adventurers were anxious.

There was a clear sign of being entangled in something that shouldn’t be entangled.

“Still, if you go all the way in front of me, the road will open and you will be able to pass.”

The raid leader comforted the crew.

So I came to a crossroads.

Ahead of the wider passage, we were silent.

‘Shake. Why are you growing?’

The jar got bigger.

[One of the seven taboos, ＜Legia’s Jar>, is violently inflated.]

He must have inflated his size by wanting to eat those adventurers somehow.

You’re not even an ogre, and you’re in such a crisis because of a jar. It was amazing, but I had an idea ahead of that.

This jar is scary.
