Chapter 154

Episode 154. A gloomy and huge cemetery located somewhere on the

Living Labyrinth continent.

Aslan Blue, the manager of the cemetery, was having a meeting with his acquaintances at his residence.

bang!

“This is nonsense! Why have we helped Master all this time? To open your eyes and cut your nose like this... ... .”

Moghul Gulan, one of Morn’s disciples and the third, slammed the table and vomited.

The flesh trembled from his face, like a steamed bun.

Despite his rude behavior, those present did not stop him.

That’s because they were facing a reality that was hard for them to accept.

The second student, Quenton Brook, ignored Mogul’s resentment and calmly asked Aslan.

“Hyung-nim, hyung-nim must have participated in this rally and watched it. Do you really think that Adrias Cromwell can handle a faction?”

“Second brother! Is that a problem now? Now I have both eyes open and my nose cut! To think that a guy I’ve never seen before would take only the fruit by overtaking us who have been supporting the faction for so long. Does that make sense?”

“Then what are you going to do? This is what Master said. If you thought it was unreasonable, you should have said it in the presence of Master.”

“profit... ... !”

Their teacher, Morn, was not easygoing.

Necromancer is a job that can become an all-weather battle mage depending on the undead you create.

However, it took much more time and effort than other wizards to reach there.

Currently, the position of black magicians on the continent is not very good.

In such a situation, a brutal character was indispensable in order to reign supreme like Morne.

To Adrias and Luna, he looked like a warmer grandfather than anyone else, but his essence was a crouching king.

“There is no way you can say that, can you? I don’t want to be undead.”

“Did I scold you because I didn’t know that? It reminded me of Master’s fear once again.”

“They are both so hot. Calm down a little.”

Aslan, who had become the chief disciple after many of Morn’s disciples had died over the years, spoke quietly.

Then the other two disciples were silent.

“Both of them fully understood what I was talking about. I understand Mogul’s resentment and Quenton’s misery. Would it be different from the country? No one else, I am Master’s chief disciple. If I had to judge the unfairness, I would be the most unfair.”

At Aslan’s words, the other two disciples drool.

Aslan looked at the two and continued.

“The reason I called the two today is to discuss a solution.”

“solution... ... you mean?”

Quenton muttered in a skeptical tone.

Seeing Quenton like that, Mogul shouted again.

“I have to do something! Are you going to lose the faction like this?”

“It is not. Well, there is still a year left, so I guess I can think of a way.”

However, Aslan shook his head at Quenton’s words.

“It is too late to relax. Over there are Master and Luna Pendragon. No matter how much you don’t like Adrias Cromwell, the mere fact that these two exist has a big ripple effect. Enough cannibalize the faction’s personnel. Even if it takes half a year, all power will be taken away.”

“Does your brother have a method in mind?”

Quenton asked cautiously.

Mogul also stared at Aslan’s face.

“This is the news I received a while ago. I heard that students from Rodlen Academy, where Adrias Cromwell belongs to, will be visiting ‘Monet’s Labyrinth’ soon.”

“Monet’s labyrinth? ah! Is it because of the evaluation?”

“Yes.”

After hearing the conversation between Aslan and Quenton, Mogul got up from his seat with a look of excitement.

“Good opportunity! Let’s break it down there! Come to think of it, it was a problem without Adrias Cromwell!”

“okay. aiming for that Of course, if you kill Adrias Cromwell, you won’t be able to escape Master’s suspicions, but you won’t be able to appoint a person who has already died as your successor.”

At that time, Quenton, who had only been listening, narrowed his eyes and said.

“Wouldn’t it be dangerous to touch him directly? Salem will not stand still. Besides, there has been an exchange with Maximin Cronell recently.”

“So you’re saying there’s a better way?”

“It’s not... ... .”

“Your second brother is too cautious! Salem must have forgotten the protection of Adrias Cromwell already! Would he care about all that?”

In the end, Quenton, unable to find another way, sighed.

“Let’s get out of the beauty for now.”

There was a moment of confusion, but the students quickly calmed down.

It was certainly surprising that there were six members of the crew, but it did not pose a threat to their personal safety.

“Will there be an impact on the score if there are six people?”

“But wouldn’t this be okay? The starting point is literally set at random, but we didn’t deliberately form a group of six people.”

“okay. Let’s go through the maze for now. The professors will understand.”

Monet’s labyrinth was already a well-known site, so there were almost no students who didn’t know about it.

It was originally a characteristic of wizards who like to explore and study something.

“Perhaps there are riddles or other traps blocking the way. I have memorized everything, so let’s escape first.”

“As expected, Diane! I believed in you!”

After making a decision, I decided to move quickly.

They started walking down a long, dark brown aisle in one piece.

Unlike ordinary buildings, the maze had a hard-to-see appearance.

‘If you look closely, it seems to be moving.’

It felt like moving the walls of a maze little by little.

In fact, an analysis came out that Monet’s labyrinth, which was encountered through various literatures, actually moves.

That’s why Monet’s labyrinth was nicknamed an animated labyrinth.

I didn’t know if he was actually alive.

“It is standard to go in only one direction in a maze. Even if I have to go back a little, I will go in a safe way.”

“We’ll just do what Diane says.”

Soon after, the students, who began to slowly move forward, felt their tension gradually ease.

“Come to think of it, it’s an insignificant evaluation. Monet’s labyrinth is not a very dangerous ruin.”

“The problem will be running into another group.”

“well. Will we ever meet? I know this place is much wider than I thought.”

Monet’s labyrinth was also famous for its large scale, so it was impossible to get out of it in one day.

Instead, there were native plants throughout the maze, so water and food could be replenished.

“But I mean.”

While walking for a while, someone opened their mouth.

“Don’t you think we’ve been circling the same place ever since?”

“huh?”

“yes?”

Everyone stopped walking at someone’s question.

And after looking around for a moment, they nodded.

“This is the same scenery all along... ... .”

“Honestly, are you confused? Are you really in place?”

“surely. It is said that mana abnormalities often occur inside Monet’s maze. And the type is different every time, so it is impossible to guess.”

“Then shall we walk while making signs?”

“I will.”

Since there was magic, there were many ways to leave traces.

They started walking again after marking with mana and installing alarm magic at the same time.

But after a while, Diene felt strange and had to stop.

“for a moment... ... Hold on.”

“what’s the matter?”

Diene looked at the crew with confused eyes.

And slowly started counting.

“one two three four... ... .”

Finally, Diene pointed at herself and said.

“five.”

“uh... ... ?”

“Why are there only five people? Who is gone?”

No one could answer her question.
