Chapter 354
Episode 354:
The Jet Black Labyrinth, which has been placed under special management by major guilds in the Federation and the North.
Perhaps thanks to their efforts to retrieve the tokens scattered nearby, large demonic beasts nearby fell one after another.
When a labyrinth appears, many people will inevitably come, just as insects flock to the light.
Some do it to make a quick fortune, some do it for deep practice, and some do it out of a desire to test their limits.
Whatever the purpose, the labyrinth was quite an appropriate visit to come up with a satisfactory answer.
It was the same for any force to unleash a non-magical beast into such a labyrinth.
The same was true in the current situation.
The Federation dispatched troops and related guilds to tightly block the entrance to the pitch-black labyrinth.
“Is everything okay?”
“What’s the big deal? How many people are gathered here? “Are you here for your shift?”
“Oh, but isn’t this kind of event too much of a show-off?”
“It’s not wrong. Who would interfere with what the Federation is doing? “Unless they have multiple lives.”
The guard who was relaying special information for the shift said.
“But who are these crazy people who want to enter this black labyrinth?”
“They’re moths. The majority are transferees. “Shouldn’t we say that they are all anxious to die?”
While they were changing shifts, their superior approached the main gate of the labyrinth.
“Look at how quickly he comes just because he made a little fuss.”
“Tsk...”
The purpose of the superior’s visit was different from what they expected.
“The owner of the token has just been decided.”
“yes? “Are you serious?”
If what the superior said is true, all of the labyrinth’s tokens were recovered in less than 15 days after the labyrinth’s appearance.
It was evidence that gave us some idea of the power of the Federation.
“Who... or rather, which one has the token?”
The superior bluntly told me the results.
“There is one from the federal monitor, one from the testimony meeting, one from the implosion attack, and two reserve members from the new human race.”
“New humans have taken up three seats. “Are you sure there is something there?”
“There is a rumor that something was involved, but that is not accurate. First of all, all the characters presented exceed expectations. And the other side also put forward some pretty good characters.”
“Is it all transfer interest?”
“It seem to be like that. “The only people who will enter that black lair become strong are transferors who cannot use their limbs.”
“I really agree with that.”
Just then there was a commotion nearby.
“How did you get here?”
“Why didn’t you stop it?”
“Stop it! “Don’t let them get close!”
The superior heard the commotion and stuck his head out to inspect the scene.
Look... look...
Someone wearing a robe was slowly approaching the entrance to the labyrinth they were guarding, but for some reason, there was no stopping them.
“Stop it!”
“Can’t you hear me telling you to stop right there?”
All they did was talk and didn’t block the way.
Just as the superior became very angry and was about to scold the guards, the eyes of the man in the robe sparkled.
When golden eyes looked at him, his body stiffened.
“Uh...”
A low voice came out.
“I’ll pass.”
Whiiiiiii...
A black energy swirled from the man.
Feeling overwhelmed.
“You can’t do anything without the Zhi token!”
“....”
“I don’t know what you’re looking for, but let’s not cause meaningless conflict with each other. There is nothing you can gain from this...”
At that moment, the man took off his gloves and held out one hand.
A ring with a strange emblem engraved on it resonated with the door.
Whioooooooo...
Pajijijik...
[The Ascetic’s Seal is activated.]
[Enter the jet-black labyrinth.]
“....”
“Huh?”
A man who disappeared in an instant.
The people gathered at the entrance to the labyrinth could only roll their eyes at each other, unable to keep their mouths shut.
Unfortunately, their disaster is not over yet.
Someone’s voice came from behind.
“This is a big problem! Puhihi... I’ll come catch you!”
Puhihi...
‘Puhihi?’
The superior turned his head after remembering that none of the people here were smiling as frivolously as me.
“You... no, you...”
An expressionless face and a body like a steel tower.
Next to the handsome white man stood a Latina woman with a bayonet on her back.
The man recognized the woman among them.
The woman smiled and put her hands together and pretended to rain.
“I was wondering how I was going to get by! Wouldn’t it be so convenient for us if you let us start like this? “This... there was someone worse than us!”
They held out their hands.
Whioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
!
Pajijijik...
When Kangseol was lost in thought, two figures appeared from behind.
“Puhihi... we met right away! hi? “Where are you from?”
“....”
Kang Seol looked back at them for a moment and then twitched his eyebrows.
‘Exploration team? No, it’s a seal.’
It’s been a while since Kangseol conquered the Labyrinth of Asceticism, so there must be quite a few people who have conquered other labyrinths.
I couldn’t guess what level the transferees had risen to, but I thought they would at least be stronger than I was when I overcame the labyrinth of asceticism.
‘Well, maybe not. But... the patterns are overlapping.’
Snowfall was a little surprised when she checked Lucia’s seal, but was convinced when she realized the true nature of the pattern.
Lucia was praised by the world as an absolutely talented person who had broken through the labyrinth twice, but Kang Seol, who knew the truth, evaluated her a little differently.
‘The Labyrinth of Blood and the Labyrinth of Plague... I was lucky. Did you encounter only the lowest level of labyrinth?’
The Labyrinth of Blood and the Labyrinth of Plague were so short that it was embarrassing to compare them to the Labyrinth of Penance, which I had overcome relatively early on, and the level of difficulty was not that high.
Of course, the compensation was poor, except for the seal.
No, it would be correct to say that there is almost nothing that can be obtained there except for seals.
This was a fact that only Kangseol, who had explored the labyrinth many times, knew. There was no way they would know that.
“hmm? Are you a bit quiet? Why don’t we join forces? I’m Lucia! If an exploration team or something comes in, they could target us, right? It’s called a temporary alliance. There are two of us here, but there will be no territoriality. yes?”
Nod...
The man in the iron tower kept a blank expression and did not participate in the conversation.
Kang Seol looked at the two for a moment and then shook his head.
“I decline.”
“Um... really? why? No... what’s your name?”
“... It’s snowing.”
“Snowfall... Um... I can’t help it. Can’t you just step behind me instead? And... what about you guys?”
flinch...
those wearing masks who have been quietly observing the situation ever since they were transferred.
They waved their hands at Lucia’s question.
“What happened? “I got it too!”
Lucia spoke arbitrarily, crossed one arm and flicked the other, and chose the door.
“Where... which door should I go through...”
Although he looked calm and weak, Kang Seol did not rate it highly.
‘It’s an important choice. Especially in the pitch-black labyrinth.’
If I roughly decided something like that, it could have been four months later.
Kang Seol gave a hint to relieve some of the guilt.
“It would be best not to take it lightly here...”
“Are you worried? Puhehe... It’s cute, but this is already my third time in the labyrinth? So...”
the man in the iron tower spoke softly while looking at the snowfall.
“It’s presumptuous.”
Kang Seol ended the conversation by shrugging his shoulders.
“Then... I’m here!”
Each pattern had a certain shape and had different meanings.
Patterns symbolizing blood, light, darkness, storm, and dreams.
“Hmm... since there is no sword symbol, this would be best. I’ll go here! “Don’t follow me, everyone.”
“....”
“Then Lucia, sortie!”
Snowfall watched her and the man in the pylon disappear beyond the Gate of Blood and Storm.
Those wearing masks stretched out their arms and pretended that Kang Seol should choose first.
Kang Seol knew very well what the symbol hidden in the square next to the pattern symbolized, so she chose where she would go without hesitation.
Whoa...
Snowfall stood in front of the dark door, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Jiiiiiiing...
A strange reaction flowed from my belongings.
【The yaksha cries.】
“....”
The yaksha, whose grief had not yet been absorbed, trembled as it stood in front of the door of darkness.
Snowfall nodded slightly and disappeared there.
Kkeeeeeek...
Before the door closed, Kangseol said quietly.
“There’s one thing I didn’t tell you. Jamard.”
– what?
“From here....”
[Enter through the door of darkness.]
[Visibility is limited.]
“I can only go there by myself.”
[Responsiveness with all shadow summons is lost.]
[Strong darkness arrives.]
Whioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much...
It feels cold.
That was my first impression of the darkness.
Snowfall felt a sense of loss.
His summons were the most important part of his value, so when he lost touch with them, a serious feeling of emptiness came over him.
Because they are connected by blood, their existence can be recognized, but where there is no light, there are no shadows.
Snowfall made a promise in a place where nothing could be seen.
I will conquer this place with my own strength no matter how long it takes.
“Okay... I have to walk alone from here on out.”
Kang Seol’s self-mocking words were answered by those around him.
A small creature got entangled in Kang Seol’s arm.
【There is also grief...】
