Chapter 74.2. Deep in the Labyrinth
-Loki’s POV-
“…How do you answer? Loki.”
“Hmmm, ahahaha. Sorry, I love chaos more than I love big money. So I’m going to give this treasure to Duke Kanna. Why don’t you leave with the magic tools you want and half the treasure, as promised?”
Loki lifts his downcast face, and he smiles happily. Loki’s face was eerily distorted as he laughed, and the old magician backed away in fear, but he quickly turned his wand toward Loki, his face grim.
“You mean to fight? You know that even the emperor’s power is no match for us. We may lose in strength, but we have the numbers to make up for it. We’re not ordinary magicians, you know.”
The old magician doesn’t want to fight Loki. He didn’t want to waste any more strength in the hope of escaping.
But he also doesn’t think he’ll lose in a fight. With himself, his disciples, and the monsters he uses. He can kill the emperor. The emperor is indeed strong. But the old magician and other magicians are famous magicians in the underworld. With the help of his senior disciple, even if it’s a tough fight, he’s sure he could kill Loki.
“That’s right. The emperor can’t do it. This body is certainly strong, but you guys are also strong. I’ll certainly lose.”
“Then you will leave with the treasure?”
The old magician was relieved because Loki also understood the difference in strength, but he was wrong to let his guard down.
“But what about this figure I’ve just acquired? I think it would be a good enough test against you guys.”
Loki’s figure crumbles like clay, transforming into a strange form. The old magician is astonished at the changing figure, his eyes peeled back.
“What! What is that figure?
“I’m sure I can win with this appearance, right? After all, I just tried it .”
In front of the old magician was the figure of the Hercules Knight. It was the mythical monster that he had defeated by borrowing the power of Loki, who had borrowed the emperor’s form, and even by using his trump card, the demon of myth.
“Didn’t you know? I can transform myself by drinking the blood of my opponent. Didn’t I just now drink the blood of hercules knight?”
Loki could have left the old magician alone and walked away. That was an option. Duke Kanna’s elite men were waiting for him in front of the temple, and they should be entering the temple at this very moment.
Loki was using the communicator that he had to send a signal. So he could enjoy watching the two clashing forces from a high vantage point.
However, Loki’s bad habit came out. The guardian of the temple, hercules knight, was stronger than expected. Now that he had that power, he wanted to test it. It was Loki’s vice to use the form he had obtained immediately.
After finishing the transformation into the hercules knight with the golden exoskeleton, Loki said teasingly to the astonished old magician, and fly down to the side of the hercules knight’s corpse.
“My weakness when I transform is that I’m not equipped, but it’s right in front of me.”
He picks up the magic sword and shield that have fallen by the hercules knight’s corpse and quickly points the tip of his sword at the old magician.
“Damn! Such a thing! Do it, [Hell’s Keeper]!”
The old magician raises his staff and yells. Loki’s back shakes as he transforms into a golden monster, and a monkey-like monster with jet-black fur and bright red eyes like the color of blazing blood emerges from the space, wielding long dark claws like swords.
It is a deadly claw that shatters the strong golden exoskeleton. The jet-black claws of the hell’s keeper] are powerful, dark, insubstantial magic claws. It is an attack that even the exoskeleton of hercules knight cannot defend.
“No, no. I showed you that attack, didn’t I? I don’t want you to show me the same trick.”
[Lightning Triple Strike]
The moment the magic sword held by Loki emitted purple lightning, a lightning bolt passed through the hell’s keeper. Hell’s keeper shook its body with its arms raised, and a bright ray passed through its body.
The number of brightness lines was three. Its body leaned back, breaking apart and falling to the floor, bordered by the bright lines.
“Now you have zero magic stones in your hand?”
“Nuh! You son of a bitch, Loki!”
The old magician exclaimed, blood vessels floating on his forehead in anger.
“The power of thunder and sword. I will test them on you!”
Loki happily exerts the hercules knight’s power. The old magician also give orders to the demons and release their magic.
Flames flare and ice blows. The wind became blades, lightning flashed, and the roar of monsters echoed through the labyrinth. Then the sounds of battle are heard for a while, and then silence.
The battle was over, and the only one standing was Loki, taking the form of a golden monster.
“This is awesome, no. If I had a weapon, I might be invincible. Don’t you think so too?”
The corpses of all magicians were lying on the floor. Dripping blood from the magic sword in his hand and moving the beetle’s jaws, Loki turned around with satisfaction.
“Yes, as expected, Loki-sama.”
He bows his head as a beautiful woman emerges from the labyrinth’s depth, her golden hair flowing in a swirling pattern without the sound of footsteps.
“Are you sent by Duke Kanna? You’ve come to retrieve the treasure, have you not?”
“Yes, I’m here to retrieve the treasure.”
At Loki’s words, the beautiful woman, Frigg, smiled a bewitching smile.
