CH 386

Labyrinth Gatekeeper (1)

Finally, the boy's story came out.

"We call him the 'designer' or 'the first operator'. Everything is him, and he is everything."

"You speak very vaguely. Are you referring to the majority of the power as 'he'? Or do you mean he has various titles?"

Well. It is difficult for us to give an exact definition. In fact, the concept itself is ambiguous. I'd like to be more specific, but as you can see... My hands and feet are half-tied."

The eagle owl glanced up at the sky.

Pants... .

Foul!

Blue sparks were rising in the sky.

You must have already reached the limit of the system.

"One last thing, he has one troublesome ability. I got the power to break the old rules and rebuild the tower according to my own rules."

" Is such a nonsensical thing possible?"

"Didn't you see with your own eyes that this labyrinth was actually transformed? Of course, he's still not at the level where he can completely control his power, but it's just a matter of time. One day, everything that exists in the tower will collapse."

The eagle owl calmly told the truth.

" ."

The more time passes, the more dangerous it becomes.

Certainly, it is not something to be taken lightly.

If it's the ability to destroy the foundation of the tower, it's natural for the operators to be scared.

It was only now that I understood what Sae Young-eon-hwan warned about.

"How much time do you have left?"

"It's a very difficult skill, so it will take at least two years. Maybe it will take longer than that."

2 years.

A shadow fell on Jinhyuk's face.

Will it be possible to climb to the top of the tower in two years?

This is a very short time compared to the past.

No matter how much you monopolize the company and rule out mistakes.

" Until then, I must be strong more than now."

okay. need to grow more. And clearing this labyrinth is probably the first gateway."

"I know what you mean."

I got a lot of useful information in many ways.

What to do next... .

Thanks, I got a bit of a feel for it.

rapidly changing vision.

Unfamiliar places continued, but there was no room for rest.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ."

Elise took a deep breath.

I don't know how far I ran.

It's been a few hours since I've been chasing Hatoel's tail.

The reins of the pursuit have been tightened even more. That much stamina and mana approached the floor.

Because he was acting far away from Jinhyeok, the limited mana he could receive also played a big part.

'I really should have sucked a lot of blood... .'

on that soft neck. piercing sharp fangs. He had to replenish his magical power.

"Why are you panting all alone? Like a hound with meat in front of him."

Hatoel looked at Elise with suspicious eyes.

"My, when am I! Where else could there be an alternative entrance?"

"It's almost over. You just have to go a little further."

Hatoel, who was carefully looking around, grabbed Elise's wrist.

for a moment !"

Why?

"There is a barrier right in front of you. Judging by the drink, it was brand new, less than 10 minutes old."

"Can't I see anything?"

"It is a trap only visible to angels. I used a special divine power to defend against outside invaders."

If anyone crosses that line, battle angels will be summoned.

In the end, even the last exit was blocked off.

" ."

Hatoel bit her lip as if in trouble.

"Hey, what made the inside of Eden become so thinly iced? It used to be a more comfortable and comfortable atmosphere."

"There are internal circumstances."

So. What is that internal matter? If things get to this point, shouldn't I know something?

Elise pushed harder once more.

Then, Hatoel let out a long sigh.

They wanted to avoid revealing their secrets, but as the saying goes, they can't hide it forever.

Because Elise has already put her feet in this gutter.

"Due to Kizakiel's betrayal, a disciplinary committee was convened in Eden. The horse was a meeting place, actually a place to make judgments."

However.

"When the trial was held, there were more angels supporting him than I expected."

How long must Eden defend harmony and balance and endure the tyranny of evil forces?

Does Eden really deserve to be the owner of the tower?

The argument that Kizakiel cried out grew stronger and stronger.

From now on, we will not respect the positions of other factions. Towards the direction that we should act solely for the benefit of Eden.

"It completely changed the temperature of Eden."

It was an instant that the moderate group, which had been the trend, was swaying.

The archangels, including Michael and Gabriel, were silent. Instead, radical angels, including Uriel and Raphael, took action.

Although it did not go as far as the catastrophe of expelling the opposition, the forces other than Eden had begun to be brutally cut out.

" That's why I and my blood relatives shouldn't be known."

Yes. Gabriel-sama will also be in trouble if this is known."

I know roughly what the situation is.

Elise thought deeply.

If this is the case... How would the contractor act?

You must have found the best way... .

ha. I do not know.

Elise messed up her hair.

It's not my taste to think and roll my head.

It's aptitude to just act according to your instincts.

"Then I will destroy all of Uriel and Raphael or whatever, so let's form an official alliance with us. how?

Yes?

Hatoel's eyes widened.

I don't know what the hell this vampire is talking about.

no way .

"Gee, are you saying that we should start a civil war now?"

Huh. A faction cannot have more than one head. There is no consensus of opinion. It's easy to get hit in the back."

Advice from experience.

When multiple powerful people share power equally, problems will inevitably arise.

We're just pretending we don't know each other. Dissatisfaction and emotions are inevitably accumulating.

"So, let's go out and meet my contractor. Destroying annoying bastards is our contractor's specialty and hobby."

does not make sense No, wait. What are you going to do now?"

"If you decide, you have to get out of here. After all, if you procrastinate, your magic power will run out and you will be like a mouse in a poison."

Elise broke her joint.

It was not a secret passage, but the intention to blow up the fortress and go outside.

"Wow, if you run wild here, Gabriel-sama will be in trouble too! Did you really hear what I said... !"

"I'm sorry, but we've already been on the same boat. Now it's all or nothing."

Hatoel screamed, but it was after Elise raised her magic power.

[The unique ability 'Blood Lord' will be unlocked!]

Cuckoo Cuckoo!

Drops of red blood gushed out in all directions.

Even though the supply of mana was not smooth, a storm of unimaginable power raged.

Now everyone in Eden will know.

Here, one of the heads of the vampire family has entered their realm.

"Ugh. Somehow, I feel chills."

Jinhyuk touched his trembling body.

It's not that the temperature is low, but somehow the chill permeated my bones.

"Did a new enemy appear again?"

Cheon Yoo-seong's eyes twinkled.

Perhaps he remembered the pain of yesterday, the hand holding the sword was unusual.

"No, it's not like that, because something ominous is about to happen Probably, it won't matter."

"Sheesh. Don't make people nervous about nothing. Even if it doesn't, I'm nervous.

Day 2 of entering the labyrinth.

Thanks to treatment with advanced potions and 'Blessing of the Stars', Cheon Yu-seong was able to regain his condition.

Because of that, he had now entered quite a deep place.

'Anyway, it's time to come out .'

Definitely right in front of you... Ah!

found!

Among the valleys, strangely shaped stone statues were seen.

"Is that the stone statues you have been singing like that since yesterday?"

right.

Commonly known as 'the guardian of nature'.

To get to the boss room, you had to get the 'resistance stone' from there.

The way the different attribute magic rushes is because even the seeds did not work with any stats or armor.

'So the knights of the Empire also gave up here and returned.'

The firepower that even armor with anti-magic defenses cannot withstand.

No matter how long the sword masters fly, the amount of mana they have in their body is a fixed law.

Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong approached the stone statue.

Then at that very moment.

"Are you a new challenger?"

"Hmm. Three guys... ."

"Kick kick. The numbers are just right."

Three statues awakened.

'Stone of Fire'.

'A stone statue of water'.

'The Stone Statue of the Wind'.

The stone statues wearing necklaces made of each resistance stone groaned.

"We are one of the guardians of this labyrinth. It looks like you came here to get a resistance stone... Am I right?

The stone statues of fire opened their mouths on behalf of the statues.

"Well, that's what I came here for. I heard that you can only get what you wear around your neck if you pass the test you gave."

"Hey. Did you buy information from those knights?"

"Kick! I can't give you a useless explanation.

"Then the story will be quick. Solve each of our assignments. If so, I'll hand it over to you as you like.

only.

"For every failed task, I will accept the life of one of you as the price. Would you still try?"

Do whatever you feel like.

Jinhyuk shrugged.

A contract was made with that.

A sword with a colorful pattern appeared in front of Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong. As the stone statue of fire said. If you fail, the sword with the effect of absolute judgment will pierce your heart.

great. Let's start."

The stone statue of fire unfolded the durumagi he was holding in his hand.

[Test of Fire]

Content: To handle fire is to understand the purest and most beautiful properties of fire. Among them, if you can subjugate the fire spirits with strong pride, you can get the 'Qualification of Fire'. However, the size of the resistance stone given depends on the number of spirits that can be obeyed.

Whoops!

I wondered if the flames would gather, and small lizards appeared.

fluttering tongue.

Dozens of salamanders showed their hostility.

"Shh!"

"Kyao!"

They're only low-level guys, but the numbers aren't a joke.

To the extent that some spirit warriors run away without starting their tails.

"Can I just cut them all off?"

Cheon Yoo-seong chose Ryu-hwa.

wait. It's not something that can be done by force alone."

Simply taking a picture and pressing it is definitely one of the methods.

However, if they did, they would not be able to obtain real credentials.

A spirit that has been subdued by force must have animosity.

'It's not perfect to subjugate through Mentra Timing.'

Manipulating intimacy was also a 1% insufficient solution.

In fact, in the past, I had failed to get the best resistance stone here.

then .

I'll just have to use a more certain way.

The corner of Jinhyuk's lips went up.

"Salamander. Come out for a second."

"Boo, did you call me, Master?"

From the subspace inventory, the plump spiritsu rushed out.
