Episode 387 Side Story 1 Rapor’s Labyrinth (2)

“Mr. Ina.”

Baek Woo-jin called out to Seo In-ah, who was standing blankly with her hands clasped together.

“If you just stay behind me, I will protect you no matter what happens.”

“Wow, can you say that one more time? “My heart is racing?”

Seo In-ah put her hand on her left breast and laughed. Seeing that his face was flushed, it seemed like he was sincere.

“Please turn off the recording app and speak.”

Looking at the smartphone she was holding, she let out a small sigh.

“no way.”

Seo In-ah closed the recording app and put her cell phone in her pocket.

“I’ll leave right away. “Please tell me if it’s faster.”

“yes!”

He pulled up his aura and walked towards the pyramid, wrapping himself and Seo In-ah in a circle.

Coo coo coo coo.

As was the case with the regen area, the dead monsters reappeared, but I swung the Seolyeong sword and cut off their heads.

“Ouch!”

“Guaaaagh!”

The moment we arrived at the pyramid, soldier ants and Sandman Sand Snakes started pouring out from the floor like melted butter.

I tried to deal with the monsters that came out, but they didn’t attack.

He ignored himself and Seo In-ah who had reached the pyramid and ran towards the Association’s talented people.

“Why aren’t they attacking us?”

“I don’t know either.”

Baek Woo-jin looked at the backs of the monsters and shook his head.

‘I think you should go in quickly.’

Considering the instincts of monsters, it is strange that they do not attack even though they do not emit particularly strong energy.

The labyrinth may be controlling the monsters’ behavior to attract people.

“It’s written here. Rapor’s Labyrinth!”

Seo In-ah pointed to the entrance to the pyramid. It was written in Korean that it was Laport’s Labyrinth.

“Whoever conquers Rapor’s Labyrinth will be able to obtain a treasure that will change their fate?”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled as he looked at the phrase written under the name of the labyrinth. Because of the saying that it was a treasure that would change one’s life, many rich moths entered that labyrinth and were unable to come out.

‘I don’t care about those guys...’

I wasn’t interested in those who were after the treasure, but I wanted to save those who entered the labyrinth to reduce damage like Gwangryong.

‘But where have I heard this name before...’

I felt like I had heard somewhere that it was Rapor’s Labyrinth. However, no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn’t remember it.

Given the bad vibes, it didn’t seem like a land of opportunity to obtain treasure that would change fate.

“Mr. Ina.”

After Baek Woo-jin gathered his thoughts, he called Seo In-ah.

“yes?”

“I might force you to fall inside the labyrinth, so I think it would be best to hold your hand and go in.”

“Ah, I get it!”

Seo In-ah swallowed dry saliva. She rubbed her right hand on her pants and then took her left hand.

Her hands were hard and rough with calluses.

“Well... my hands are a little rough, aren’t they?”

Seo In-ah scratched her cheek as if she was embarrassed.

“It’s just as hard as my hand.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled as he said something that, if he had heard it, would have made him yell, ‘You crazy!’

“Ugh, that much...”

“That’s why it’s so cool.”

“yes?”

“Ina is a recognized craftsman. “It’s proof that you worked hard at your job, so there’s no need to be ashamed.”

“Ah...”

Seo In-ah looked at herself in fascination, like a puppy looking at its owner, and then lowered her head with her face as red as a ripe apple.

“We don’t have time, so let’s go in first.”

“Ah yes.”

Baek Woo-jin held the hand of Seo In-ah, whose voice had diminished, and entered the entrance to the pyramid.

The inside was a straight road. There was a light bulb in the ceiling, so even though there was no light coming in, it wasn’t dark at all.

Because many people had already passed by, everything that looked like a trap had been dismantled.

“There’s a door over there!”

As Seo In-ah said, at the end of the road there was a stone gate that radiated golden light like the outside of a pyramid.

The stone gate had drawings of pyramids, sphinxes and pharaohs.

“Hmm...”

Baek Woo-jin frowned as he looked at the stone gate.

“why?”

“It seems like there is a space behind this door other than the pyramid.”

The back of the stone gate was empty. You will probably be transported to another location the moment you cross this door.

“It could be dangerous. “If you die now...”

“I can’t just leave now that I’ve come this far.”

Baek Woo-jin arrived at the third floor by destroying the maze on the first floor where the institution was installed and the maze on the second floor where monsters were located.

‘You can’t believe you’re so fast while protecting me perfectly...’

There were no gaps in Baek Woo-jin’s space. Even when an arrow was suddenly shot and a monster popped out from the floor, he was able to easily block it.

I knew he was strong, but it seemed like even the title of God of War wasn’t enough anymore.

“This is...”

Baek Woo-jin’s hurried steps stopped at the entrance to the third floor.

“I guess I can’t go on like before.”

“yes?”

“The walls here have a foreign energy. If you touch it, it seems like the space will change or you will be forcibly moved to another place. The energy doesn’t spread properly...”

He frowned as he looked at the huge maze walls on the third floor.

[Third layer of trials. The Maze of Illusion begins.]

[Anyone who touches the walls and floor of the Maze of Illusion will be trapped in a dimension from which they can never escape.] [

Overcome the lies and head to the entrance of the fourth floor.]

“It’s a trick... ..”

Considering that the explanation was not to touch the walls and floor, it seems that Baek Woo-jin’s prediction was correct.

“Let’s light the smoke beads first.”

Baek Woo-jin took out the latest smoke bead from his subspace pocket and activated it.

Sigh.

The smoke from the bead spread toward the path of the maze and suddenly disappeared.

“Is this not working too?”

“It’s not a malfunction.”

The smoke ball that Baek Woo-jin took out did not work even though it was not malfunctioning. The problem seemed to be caused by a strange force operating in this space.

“Then it’s Ina’s turn.”

Baek Woo-jin looked at himself and smiled.

“I told you. “I’m sure there will come a time when it will be helpful.”

“Hehe!”

Seo In-ah smiled like a puppy and took out a smartphone-like device from her subspace pocket.

“Smartphone?”

“This is the maze navigation. “If you determine the frequency of the mana spread in this space, a map of the maze will appear.”

“Huh...”

Baek Woo-jin’s eyebrows went up. Seeing him bewildered somehow made me feel better.

Ugh.

When I activated the maze navigation, the mana value of the current space began to appear on the screen.

‘This is why I came.’

Seo In-ah’s eyes lit up as she looked at the information that came to mind.

When commercialized, Navi will be able to calculate that information on its own, but now users have to calculate it themselves.

Currently, the only person who could analyze that information and put it into the navigation system was myself.

“Uhm....”

Seo In-ah, who was operating the navigation system, bit her lip.

‘Why isn’t this working?’

Perhaps because of the unique mana flow inside the labyrinth, it was not easy to match the frequency. It continued to deviate little by little.

It should have been done in 10 minutes at the latest, but there was no progress even after 20 minutes.

I glanced back. Baek Woo-jin was standing there motionless, looking at himself.

“I’m sorry. “This didn’t work out...”

I had prepared so much, but it didn’t work out, so my insides turned black.

“We gained time on the first and second floors, so take your time.”

He said that and laughed. It was a smile without the slightest irritation or complaint.

‘okay. He’s always been like that.’

From the first time we went to the Regen area together, Baek Woo-jin did not urge us. He just quietly protected himself.

As time passed, Baek Woo-jin’s status changed a lot from then, but his personality and inclinations did not change at all.

“Slowly...”

Seo In-ah adjusted the frequency of the navigation device again, feeling Baek Woo-jin’s trust and consideration behind her.

‘Calm down.’

Perhaps it was because he felt at ease or because of Baek Woo-jin’s trust, but he could feel the mana frequency shaking.

‘This is shaking!’

We finally found the factor that was preventing us from understanding the frequency. When I adjusted the navigation to include the vibration, a cool notification sound sounded.

Ding!

[Analysis of the maze begins.]

The navigator vibrated harshly and a hologram appeared on the screen.

“it’s okay!”

Seo In-ah burst into cheers. A map of a huge maze began to appear on the hologram, as if printing letters on a printer.

It was a maze so complicated and grand that it took several days to pass.

“It was like this.”

Baek Woo-jin was confused as he looked at the hologram. He had no idea that he would be able to figure out this huge maze in such a short time.

But the real thing started now.

“Not yet.”

When Seo In-ah pointed to the hologram, a red line began to be drawn on the map of the completed maze.

“Maze Navi’s real abilities start now!”
