A witch appeared %#@( @!!!

space has been invaded.

New personnel join.

Penalize trespassers.

The moment I walked down the street to find a sweets house, my body stiffened at the message that suddenly appeared.

‘They invaded the space?’

Did someone strong enough to invade the dungeon appear?

In an unexpected situation, my head spun quickly.

‘I’m not the kind of person who needs to make decisions about thawing.’

How did he know and find an item that was not even known in the first place?

Then it means that he came after the traces.

It was probably either me or Haley being targeted, and common sense made Hailey more likely to be the target.

If you’re going to target me, do it within the Milky Way. Why would you bother to do it in the far north?

That is, someone strong enough to invade a dungeon.

At this level, no matter who was around, I was sure to be able to kill myself.

‘Who’s the family that might be targeting Hailey? There wasn’t anything like that in the sub story.’

Where did the variable come from?

Where would the family resent Haley?

That time when I tried to open my mouth thinking that I should definitely ask, rather than thinking about it alone.

coo coo coo coo.

I could feel the waves of mana in the distance.

A very familiar, never-to-be-forgotten mana.

“Mine…?”

Haley also read the aura of black mana, but this was not normal black mana.

“Repenta…”

meet you here? Karan?

‘Then it’s Karan who sneaked in?’

I certainly wouldn’t have come alone.

Because he was always with Mine named Yui.

The most important thing here was why he appeared.

After playing Final Destiny hundreds of times, there was no route for Karan to find the thawing crystal.

I didn’t need it, I didn’t have to use it, and it was normal to say that I didn’t know it in the first place.

But now he split the entrance of the dungeon and entered without permission.

He was forced to stay here and sprinkle mana even while he was given a penalty and vomited pain.

‘Could it be because of me?’

There can’t be anything that can’t happen.

There was such a word, but it was hard to understand easily when the situation came up.

‘Did they come to the dungeon by chance encountering the north and reading my energy?’

The tail-to-tail question stopped all my actions and only accelerated my thinking.

If you had used the royal court martial arts to catch Yeti, and had come here after reading it.

The message clearly said that a witch had appeared, so there was a high probability that Karan had become a witch.

This is because the role of classic masterpieces is to select the most appropriate object regardless of gender.

Even if she wasn’t a woman, Karan, who was suitable for the strongest villain, had enough qualifications as a witch.

‘Originally, it is extremely rare to get the role of a witch in Hansel and Gretel if you take a standard position.’

It was one of the worst cases of really unlucky cases.

Because in the role of Hansel and Gretel, the witch has several penalties.

First of all, it is basically a setting that the eyes are not good, so the eyesight is limited.

However, this is a fairy tale story, and in reality, all senses were limited.

It was palpable, but faint, and it was a meaningful penalty even for a strong man like Karan.

‘Still, the worst situation remains the same.’

You can delay going to the candy house, but you must stop by to get out of the dungeon.

As the story of Hansel and Gretel is a very short fairy tale, there was little to cause a variable.

Throw it away, go to the candy house and catch the witch, and you’re done.

It was a simple thing like being locked up for a while and seeing the ending when Haley pushed the witch into the furnace.

Even if things were twisted, they were too twisted now.

“Lee Seok-hyun!”

“Eh?!”

How long have you been so alone in your troubles?

Haley tugged at my cheek and put her face right in front of my eyes.

“No matter how many times I called, there was no answer. Do you know whose manan it is?”

“…This is Karan, Karan Krael. It is a higher-level demon that can easily slaughter a top-notch demon.”

Superlative and higher are not called any ranks.

It meant that each individual was strong enough to be unable to be grouped into a specific entity.

Beings that are called Eokkka just by their existence.

There were numerous words to refer to them, but the users just organized them neatly.

And among them, Karan is the strongest knight.

Ironically, the title of strongest was not on the side of humans.

“He is called the strongest knight… he mainly fights with a greatsword, but that’s not because he doesn’t know how to use anything but a sword.”

It was boring, but if it ended quickly, I had to find the next toy, so I was limiting my strength.

Then, when it becomes useful, Yui keeps fixing the toy.

The meaning of this fix was not the concept of healing wounds.

“And next to him is a woman he always goes with, her name is Yu and she mainly uses corpses.”

The reason why Yui went alone is simple.

She is a Necromancer, and the players called her Corpse Princess.

The strongest knight who protects the corpse princess.

A princess who uses the corpses slaughtered by knights to create an army.

The combination of these two boasted a perfect compatibility to the point of doubting whether it was made for breaking.

‘That perfect match is waiting for us right now.’

After hearing all of my explanations, Haley was calmer than expected.

It seemed difficult to hide all of his uneasiness, but without that level, he would have doubted whether he was human.

“…the situation is bad.”

“Yes, but the good news is we can adjust the timing.”

“timing?”

“Unless they enter the House of Sweets, witches cannot do much.”

Because it shouldn’t appear in the story yet.

To be precise, the witch appeared only when we, who played the role of Hansel and Gretel, ate the candy house.

Perhaps the reason Karan spewed mana was because of those limitations.

I wanted to move as much as I wanted, but I couldn’t even appear, so I had to show off my strength first.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand it, since he was forced to enter the dungeon.

“Then, how about making an ending without encountering a witch?”

“That’s honestly one way, but…”

Then you don’t get the thawing crystal.

Fairy tales cause various synergies, and you can see various endings, and the rewards accordingly are very different.

However, most of the rewards were designed to come out good only if you follow the original.

Therefore, the crystal of thawing was also a structure that could only be obtained by catching a witch.

‘You don’t have to kill the witch, just put it in the furnace.’

If he could do that, he would be able to widen his distance from Karan while entering the dungeon.

Since witches end up disappearing in fairy tales, dungeons keep participants who play witches very far away.

In other words, it meant that if Karan could only be put into the furnace, the best results would come out.

“The problem is how to put Karan in this furnace…”

The House of Sweets cannot be destroyed by Karan.

Eating and crushing can only be done by those who play Hansel and Gretel, and witches cannot kill children right away.

He had to be put in prison and given at least three meals a day to harm him.

This was a fairy tale device.

‘Perhaps Karan doesn’t even know about this.’

I shared information with Haley, giving detailed instructions on what to do.

As the fact that failure would only lead to death drew closer, my body felt as heavy as a piece of grass eaten.

‘can do.’

It was a match-up about two years ahead of my schedule, but I had no choice but to do it.

I had to do it.

++++++++

“If I had known this would happen, I would have waited outside the dungeon, wouldn’t it, honey?”

“It’s not bad, rather, I think it’s possible to not kill a student without a penalty like this.”

A reunion with a disciple whom he hasn’t seen in a long time can make his blood boil excessively.

Perhaps it could be seen that now, when the power was weakened by the penalty itself, was the best.

“If you die, I can save you, so what are you worried about?”

“My apprentice is not a toy, Yui. I love you no matter how much I love you, but this is non-negotiable.”

“Okay, don’t be so angry my love.”

A sweet smell of sweets stings your nostrils.

Yui spread a lot of whipped cream between her breasts and was feeding it to Karan.

While adapting to the damaged senses, it was to fill the selfish mind by raising the helper in this way.

Yui thought maybe it wouldn’t be bad if she lived here a little longer.

Karan, as if he was the only one who thought that way, stood up from his seat holding a greatsword before he knew it.

“As expected, it was rewarding to emit mana. You came right away.”

“You blew too much.”

During the penalty, the black mana emitted indiscriminately was half of Karan’s power.

In the aftermath, all living things except for the sweets house died.

The splendid confectionary house built on the rotten and twisted land presented a tremendous sense of heterogeneity.

But that didn’t matter to Karan.

What he valued the most was the fact that his disciple had come close to him.

“I’ll come to meet you first, so clean up and come slowly.”

“Okay.”

bang!

Karan left the sweets house, ignoring the numerous warnings in front of him.

He looked at Lee Seok-hyun precisely while his whole body was in pain and his mana was dissipating in real time.

“Disciple! You were there!”

joy, joy, delight, delight.

The laughter created by the mixture of these emotions was very grotesque and terrifying.

A smile like that of a beast watching its prey die.

Karan immediately grabbed the greatsword from his back and rushed at Lee Seok-hyeon.

“I really wanted to see you!”

As soon as he finished talking, he immediately thrust a greatsword into Lee Seok-hyun’s upper body.

hooked!

Lee Seok-hyun was hit directly without even reacting.

However, the reaction Karan expected was not forthcoming.

Rather, he was smiling, glaring at himself with a face that said he expected everything.

“Yes, I wanted to see you too.”

son of a bitch

Those words accurately reached Karan’s ears.
