31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 121)
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Quasi-profit-!
“Argh! the floor!”
Son Joo-yeon screamed even though she wasn't even hit by a hammer..
This was because the hammer hit the floor and left an ugly mark..
Karen took advantage of that opportunity and punched Kang Bo-seok in the chin..
Powok-!
Perhaps because of his great tenacity, Kang Bo-seok swung his hammer while scolding everyone..
“Ugh… . Don't make fun of me! pull out the sword!”
“knife? It's not difficult to pull out, but I'm afraid I might accidentally cut it..”
In short, Karen was taking care of Kang Bo-seok..
Kang Bo-seok gradually began to get angry..
Karen didn't use any abilities. Still, Kang Bo-seok could not touch a single hair of hers..
There was a big difference in level, and it was clear that this was the first time I had met someone like this since I was transferred..
Kang Bo-seok came up with a plan to turn this situation around. It was almost an instinctive movement..
“Ahhhhh!”
“Nothing like that….”
This time, a swinging movement from top to bottom..
Karen easily dodged his hammer, which used a lot of force. But it wasn't her that Kang Bo-seok was targeting..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
His hammer rotated and headed towards Kang Seol, who was watching the situation behind Karen..
“no!”
“Block it!”
In an instant, shouts and screams filled the hall..
And, in an instant, the sound died down..
Pak!
Kang Seol's left hand, partially shaped like a raven, very lightly caught Kang Jewel's hammer..
sreung-!
People couldn't say anything at that sight..
The battle hammer, which felt very heavy until Kang Bo-seok swung it, seemed light as if it had no weight at all when it was held in Kang Seol's left hand..
Karen's sword touched Kang Bo-seok's defenseless uvula..
A drop of his blood ran down his uvula. If her sword moves even slightly like this, it will pierce her neck..
Karen said quite angrily..
“Can I kill this guy??”
A question to Kangseol.
he shook his head.
Anyway, Kang Seol was prepared because she expected Kang Bo Seok to do something dirty..
Kang Bo-seok gently raised both hands and said..
“I will give up the labyrinth..”
Chak-!
Son Joo-yeon slaps her forehead in despair! hit.
At that moment, someone using analytical skills shouted in shock..
“Um, that… It's a shame!”
“…what?”
“The sword that woman uses is unexalted.….”
People's eyes all turned to Karen's sword..
The sword Karen picked was, of course, an ember..
The expulsion was correct..
“what? Non-appropriation? They said it was a non-exclusive use.?”
“You can still get it without spending money.?”
“What is it and how did you get it??”
Most of the time, the conversation took place in the form of interrogative sentences..
When it was revealed that Karen's sword was an immortal sword, Son Joo-yeon clenched her teeth with a devastated expression and Park Chang-sik shouted in triumph..
“I guess it was concluded that this labyrinth token was to be used by us.?”
“…yes. I accept the result. I think the person brought by Mr. Changsik would be more suitable as the last ascetic..”
“It was a good match.”
“This too.”
As Karen stepped back with a sharp sword, Kang Bo-seok lowered his hand..
“after… Hahaha….”
Since he had never had the experience of touching his uvula to an object called a sword, he wiped away the cold sweat with the back of his hand..
Son Joo-yeon asked Kang-seol.
“however… I have one question.”
“Questions?”
“So does that woman enter the final door of penance??”
“…yes?”
“That's right. That woman was the one who defeated Jewel, but even if they are part of a group, two people can't enter the same door.?”
Karen burst out laughing when she heard that..
“Kahaha! You might think so. That's right, that woman is right... Pfft….”
“Why, why are you smiling??”
“Oh sorry. But you don't need to worry.”
“Just say that….”
Karen said with a meaningful expression..
“Because you can do it like this.”
Whirling-!
She became a black whirlwind and was sucked into Snowfall's right hand..
There was a heavy silence..
Anyone could see that Karen, who used the haze ability, was an ordinary fairy..
But, to be sucked into the palm of Snowfall.
Jooyeon Son's pupil lost her way.
she stuttered.
“uh… So, this is... huh… hmm….”
Snowfall immediately resolved the doubts of the people in the room..
“she is my pet.”
“…yes? I beg your pardon?”
“So, I must enter the door of final penance..”
“Well, it can't be….”
It was as if a volcano had suddenly erupted, and people were talking all at once..
“That doesn't make sense! A summoned beast?….”
“Now, wait a minute. Then, you let the summons take over the unappropriated money.?”
“This isn't pure crazy?”
- That guy is crazy lol
- Please tell me it's unique.
- 4They made a fuss over me throwing away a dog (shrug))
- Ah, who doesn't recognize the cape haha?
- I really... This is why the common people^^
Now there could be no more disagreement about Jiang Xue being selected as the last ascetic..
Kang Seol stood with the people appointed by Park Chang-sik in advance..
When we looked at each other in a circle like this, I could see the other sides of the party..
“Okay, now let's label it..”
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The five people who were already in the party were engulfed in light..
[Your name will be engraved on the certificate of qualification (penance).]
[A labyrinth adventure of penance is planned..]
[This adventure is very dangerous.]
[This adventure is a chain adventure, so you cannot select the next adventure.]
* * *
The work was completed without difficulty.
The rest period is now over.
All that's left is to enter the labyrinth.
After the showdown to decide who would be the last ascetic, numerous people wandered around his residence..
Each time, people around Park Chang-sik stepped forward to fight him off, but it wasn't much of a bother..
Every time something like this happens, Kang Seol has no choice but to think more carefully about revealing his identity..
This time, I had no choice but to use this method to enter the labyrinth, but if it had been any other time, I would have used a different method..
Anyway, thanks to Park Chang-sik’s consideration, Kang Seol started preparing various things in advance..
‘Breaking through the labyrinth is a marathon.’
The labyrinth was not a place where a conclusion could be reached in a short period of time. Of course, I wouldn't know if he went in and died right away, but Kang Seol wasn't the type of person to do that..
‘You can stay for at least a month, maybe even more than three months..’
Considering that other adventures can be completed in a month at most, it would not be awkward to say that Labyrinth is a long-term game..
‘They say you need to prepare, but there is a high probability that it will be of no use..’
In particular, the Labyrinth of Asceticism is a place where suffering comes from its very name..
I've already experienced the place twice through word of mouth, but the feeling of experiencing the place in person was different..
If someone were to ask Kang Seol if she was afraid, her answer would probably be this:.
‘afraid.’
But I couldn't back down just because I was afraid..
It was a betrayal of his words of always taking the lead in dangerous places..
You become such an unscrupulous person that you enjoy standing back and putting other inferior beings in danger..
‘If you can break through the labyrinth of penance, there will be great benefits..’
There were benefits, so I had to go..
If he backs down because he is afraid, he will be contradicting all the actions he has taken so far to put his words to death..
‘And there are things that can only be obtained by reaching the end of the labyrinth..’
It was a fact known to everyone who had broken through the labyrinth that the rewards of the labyrinth were much more valuable than those of ordinary adventures..
Could it be that kind of treasure that Kang Seol wants? Is it that or something more?.
It was something he couldn't know unless he reached the end of the labyrinth..
smart.
“It's almost time, Snowman..”
Park Chang-sik came out to welcome Kang Seol..
I had already made a basic statement with the party members who would enter the labyrinth together..
Kang Seol gave them nicknames instead of their real names, but no one was dissatisfied with that..
“I'm leaving now.”
I've made thorough preparations, but will I be able to use this?.
Kang Seol followed Park Chang-sik to the place where the labyrinth actually appeared..
This place, a little far from Audenin, was overgrown with bushes, and its entrance was very similar to the ruins where Izumokan was buried earlier..
‘Statue of an ascetic… There's even that.’
A statue standing in pain with a large stone on its head stood at the entrance to the labyrinth..
5Although each person's rest period was different, Park Chang-sik formed a party with people whose rest periods ended at the same time as possible..
Also, as a result of checking while entering the labyrinth twice, it was said that the message was sent according to the time of the person who finished the rest period last..
5Snowfall was the last to end her rest period, and soon the transmission would begin..
Since Son Joo-yeon had already been sent to the next adventure, other guild leaders were present in her place..
one of them said.
“Mr. Changsik, you cannot fail this time. Did you know??”
“What kind of cheering is that?.”
“Anyway. Make sure to succeed because Joo-yeon might get angry and upset again. And she comes back in style. ah! And half of the treasure obtained is jointly owned by the alliance... You didn't forget?”
“Yes, you probably didn't forget that half of it belongs to those who entered.?”
“It's okay, I've put a stamp on the contract. Everyone must... You have to come back alive. Even though Juyeon didn't say anything, she was very worried about Changsik..”
“I heard it directly?”
“No, it's an estimate.?”
“Hey... okay. And it's not up to me to come back. Over there, he decides. Others just have to hold on..”
Snowfall spoke amidst the noisy crowd..
“It's time.”
Park Chang-sik and the party members nodded. Someone among the gathered people tried to shout cheers..
“Everyone must… fat….”
Jiiiiiiing-
[Start your next adventure.]
[The seventeenth adventure begins.]
[Adventure 17. Labyrinth of Asceticism]
Adventure 17. ‘Labyrinth of Asceticism’’
Near Audenin, the Labyrinth of Penance, one of the terrifying labyrinths that appear throughout the continent, was discovered..
And at that time, tokens of the labyrinth were also found on the biting Gaul, the suffocating Homuru, and the thorny Juri..
2The dog token yielded no results due to the lack of qualifications of an ascetic..
Now, one last remaining token.
You branded the token with your name.
you have to prove.
That you are a being who can move forward no matter what pain you carry..
The labyrinth of penance will watch over you.
Goal: Break through the Labyrinth of Penance
Be careful, this adventure is very dangerous.
Current remaining time 「None」
The illusion of entering deep into a cave.
As Park Chang-sik explained, only the area in front of his feet was visible, and the surrounding area was completely dark..
“It's the same….”
“Changsik hyung, this is the right place.?”
“Yes, Jaeho. It's here.”
Park Chang-sik also brought his beloved younger brother, Seong Jae-ho, here. That's how much effort there is in this job..
“excuse me….”
someone said.
He probably made some kind of gesture with his fingers, but I can't see it here..
there was a door.
5the dog's door.
Ignorance, pain, doubt, patience,
And the door of penance.
To some extent, Kang Seol knew what kind of suffering lurked at each door..
And that nothing is easy.
“Brother, brother... I said I was going into ignorance.?”
“Yeah, because I went in last time..”
“I doubt it's as planned.”
“i am in pain.”
“I am patient.”
Everyone was looking at the snowfall.
I couldn't see it but I felt it.
“I will go into penance.”
“then….”
People standing in front of each door.
“I'll go in first..”
I profit…
The door of doubt opens, and Seong Jae-ho disappears..
I profit…
The door of pain opened, and Kim Tae-gyu, one of the party members, disappeared..
I profit…
Through the Gate of Patience, another companion, Jang Heung-su, disappears..
“Well then, I hope to see you again.”
I profit…
Park Chang-sik opened the door of ignorance and disappeared..
And when every door found its owner, a change occurred.
Cheolkeong.
Clap, clap, clap..
The main chains at the door of asceticism in front of the snowfall were gradually breaking..
Cheolkeong!
patter…
[4The door of the dog welcomed the ascetic.]
[The final door, the Door of Penance, is opened..]
Snowfall opened the door to penance.
Meeeee profit…
Cheolkeong.
The snow disappeared inside, and the door to penance closed..
[The Gate of Asceticism has welcomed the last ascetic.]
