Chapter 29 - Great Orcus Labyrinth (2/2)
Wang Lei looked at the man who was still going for Qingyue,
and the man stopped and fell on the ground.
”What did you do, brat?” He shouted.
Wang Lei looked down on him with emotionless eyes and spoke, devoid of any emotions.
<With every minute thou body shalt turn to dust by 1cm, starting from bottom to top. With every part of thy' body tuning to dust, thou' shalt feel pain equal to thousands of tendons being torn apart which will keep multiplying with every 1cm. Thou' shalt not die and keep feeling the pain until not even a speck of thy' body remains>
”What the fu*k are you tak-ahhhhhh!” the man shouted hysterically as he felt immense pain going through his body. He looked down and saw that, at his toe, about 1cm of his body turning to dust. He was petrified beyond belief but could do nothing. He kept on screaming as the pain was excruciating.
Others who saw what was going on went further from Wang Lei and Qingyue. The guild staff that was talking with Wang Lei was quivering. She was the closest to him, thus she knew what was going on. She felt trepidation by hearing those words and seeing the man, who was shouting and begging for clemency, she could tell that everything that Wang Lei said has become a reality. 'Is he a God!!!'
Normally, Wang Lei didn't like tormenting his foes or anyone since it left a bad taste in his mouth. But those who touch his reverse scale, he wouldn't mind showing them what despair and anguish feel like. He took Qingyue's hand and started to walk towards the labyrinth but this time no one stopped him- more like no one had guts to even stand before him.
Entering the labyrinth Wang Lei and Qingyue kept walking, soundlessly. Since for them, generally, every single one monster in this labyrinth was mobs that could be killed easily.
”Do you think I was ruthless?” Wang Lie broke the silence and asked.
Qingyue stopped and stared at him and gently placed her hand on his cheek, ċȧrėssing it. She smiled, softly and gently, said. ”For me, you are the most precious person and I know, you think the same for me. So, for you getting angry for my sake is the same as me getting angry for your sake. Even if you become the most ruthless and merciless person, I will always love you, Husband. So stop worrying about these little things, it's not like you”
Wang Lei who heard her had a blush crept on his face that he swiftly hides by moving his face sideways. ”… idiot…”
Qingyue tilted her head, ”Did you said something?”
”Nothing! Let's go! We should clear this labyrinth!” Wang Lei said and started to walk ahead.
Qingyue looking at her brother's conduct had an impish smile on her face, she followed behind him. ”You blushed, brother?”
”Who's blushing?! You are seeing things!” Wang Lei denied vehemently. ”Also…” Wang Lei stopped and looked towards her while rubbing his cheeks with his finger, ”You should call me husband more. It sounds great. Anyway, let's go, wife!”
Qingyue hearing him, her face reddens, she smiled sweetly and followed behind him, going towards the deepest part of the labyrinth that no one would ever dare to endeavor. No one would have thought that this lively couple would shake the whole world soon.
***
It's been a week since Qingyue and Wang Lei has entered the labyrinth and about two weeks in this world. While they were going deeper and deeper in the labyrinth, they didn't know that they were already quite famous outside. Especially, Wang Lei who was called a ruthless person while some started to call him fiercest because he killed a person while tormenting him till death, just because he made a ŀustful remark about Qingyue.
This case also reached Royal Palace as the victim was left on the front of Orcus Labyrinth which was one of the most jammed places in the capital. When it reached, Hajime and others, they knew who this person was as no one should able to torment someone with only words while they have seen Wang Lei, stopping them from moving and speaking by just words. They, now understood that they were not in Japan but a place where the murder was normal. But no one was angry with Wang Lei except Kouki who kept saying how Wang Lei is a ruthless and cold-hearted person and should be put to a stop. He talked about it with the King about this, and all of them were surprised as King declared Wang Lei and Qingyue a heretic demon that has invaded from another world when Ehit-sama opened a portal for the heroes. Taking advantage of that, Heretic Devil Wang Lei invaded their Kingdom to bring doom to them.
This order was released from the Holy Church when they found out that no matter what curse remove spell they used on the person, his body won't stop from turning to dust. So, leaving no choice they killed the person. Ehit seeing this sent an order to make Wang Lei a heretic that is needed to be put down. He thought that since Wang Lei was also a human, he would not massacre fellow humans.
Receiving his order, Holy Church deployed their and Kingdom's forces to Orcus Labyrinth to capture him. But, even with all their forces reaching the 60th level, they couldn't find Wang Lei and Qingyue. After this, two speculations were made, either they are dead or they have already passed the 60th floor and delved deeper into the labyrinth.
Right now, Hajime's class was standing in front of the Orcus Labyrinth as today was the start of their training in the Labyrinth. They were tensely looking towards the Labyrinth that didn't look like one to them. Their instructor, Meld Loggins, shouted, ”Now get ready as we are going in the Labyrinth. You don't have to worry as we Holy Knights shall protect every one of you!' Meld was a well-built man with short spiky brown hair and a short beard with a small scar on the left side of his chin.
Everyone who heard him became attentive and focused. Meld looking at them nodded. ”Good! Let's enter the labyrinth now! First, register yourself on the counter and gather at the entrance!”
Everyone nodded and went towards the counter to register their names on the counter and started their first labyrinth and fight. Hajime had bad feelings budding in his mind as he been feelings someone's hostile stares for some time now but couldn't pin it. ”Are you done registering, Nagumo-Kun?” he looked back and saw Kaori smiling.
”Yeah, I have”. Nodded Hajime.
”Everyone ready! We are diving in!” Meld shouted, gaining everyone's attention.
Hajime took a deep breath. He looked at his hand, at the ring. He has been thinking about Wang Lei's word and knew that if something were to happen to him then it has to be in the labyrinth. 'I WILL survive!'
