Chapter 487 – Outbound Earth (27)

A name signifies the essence of its being. Sometimes more important than the soul. Sometimes that’s why, in some folktales, there are often stories of calling him by name and binding him.

The Gold and Silver Horn brothers of Journey to the West who will be sealed when their names are called.
The grim reaper who calls his name three times and drags him to the underworld.
Solomon, who finds out his true name and controls the devil, and so on.

The act of calling a name carries magical meaning, and Prince Al Salabin was handed a tool to use that magic in a meaningful way from a sorcerer.

Call the opponent’s true name three times, and if the opponent responds to all of them, you can seal him forever.

“Succeded.”

The bodyguards rush around Al Salabin, who has succeeded in sealing Deok-gu, the president of Fantasia.

The bodyguards rushed in like that wanted to arrest him, but secretly surrounded him as if escorting him and left the spot.

Seol and Hwa-ah, noticing this fact, immediately got up from their seats and ran to the front of the stage where Al Salabin was.

“Where—.”
“Girls.”

However, as soon as the two jumped in, the bodyguards who were in charge of escorting the other presidents blocked their way.

Awakeners who have awakened psychic powers one by one. Realizing what it meant that they blocked their way, Seol sighed and looked at his younger brother.

“Hwaa.”
“Yes, sister.”
“It is an emergency. —To be able to rescue the Master without any restrictions.”
“All right.”

Even though Deokgu was kidnapped, Hwaa, who was standing with calm words and expressions, began to radiate magical energy from her body as soon as she heard those words.

It might be hard to notice because the only things she’s been doing are large-scale hacking and manipulation of records, but her main specialty is not that kind of catch.

It’s just an added ability of the artificial intelligence embedded in her head. She had her true abilities apart.

It is the overwhelming computing power of artificial intelligence and the endless magical power that comes from the body of a god.

“415 people. Power capture complete.”

Infinite computational power and infinite magical power.
Hwa-a, who has two abilities that can be said to be the dream of all wizards at the same time, could even unleash magic that covers the entire world if she puts her mind to it.

So she did.

A huge magic circle penetrates the conference hall and spreads. A magic circle so large that even an artificial satellite could capture it.

Hwa-ah immediately activated her magic.

“—Come, an infinite labyrinth.”

Labyrinth Λαβύρινθος.
Into the infinite labyrinth from which no one could escape, everyone present moved.

* * *

Suddenly the lights go out Al Salabin, who was running away, looked around and opened her mouth.

“… What kind of situation is this?”
“Let’s find out!”

The moment the bodyguard answered loudly and took out his smartphone from his pocket and turned on the flashlight, the demon of the labyrinth hidden in the darkness raised his head.

-Krrrr…
“Uh, uh… ?”

Sharp fangs that seemed to devour everything they touched, eyes of a predator that could tear apart and kill, and the smell of a terrible beast that pierced their noses.

The moment the fear that stimulates the five senses ran down his spine, the bodyguard reflexively took out the pistol from his chest and raised it.

“Aaaaagh—!”

Taang! Taang! Tang-Tang-Tang-!

Other bodyguards also joined in, and dozens of bullets hit the beast’s face in an instant. However, the Witchbeast shook his face once as if it tickled him and roared.

─Auooooo-!!

“Keukssok-!?”
“Evil-!”
“Keah!”

As the bodyguards stopped at the eardrum-shattering roar and were torn apart one by one, Al Salabin began to walk backwards.

“What, what are you doing! Do it quickly!”

After hearing the prince’s order, the guards close to each other looked at each other and nodded for a moment before slowly moving forward.

“Prince. Please step away for a while. I will take care of it soon.”
“Oh, oh- Janissary… !”

When the most elite member of the Royal Guard stepped forward, Al Salabin let out a sigh of relief. It is because there is nothing that he cannot deal with after receiving the call of God and awakening his ability.

In fact, he was also a proven talent who broke through more than 30 floors of dungeons that appeared on Earth. The value of the manastone he brings is worth billions!

Yeni Cherry, who stepped forward, flicked his hand as he saw the witch who was mercilessly slicing and throwing away the other bodyguards.

“God is watching us— Allahu Akbar.”

And the next moment, Janissary’s head was ripped off.

The Witchbeast, who had been chewing on his head, spat it out as if it had no taste, and as he watched the escort he trusted die in one hit, Al Salibin grabbed the vial with trembling hands.

“This, this goddamned demon child… !”

Since this happened right after Deokgu was sealed, it wasn’t too hard to figure out that this had something to do with Deokgu.

However, it was very stupid to let go of Deokgu and ask for the current situation to be resolved.

Rather, I realized that I should never let him go. At the same time he was holding their own lifeline, he had to hold his own too.

“Take the VIP first!”
“Damn it, both sides are blocked, but what… !”
“I don’t want to die in a place like this!”

However, it didn’t look easy.
Al Salabin moved quickly, praying to Allah to help him get out of this situation.

Into the endless labyrinth.

* * *

─Emergency! Emergency! Defcon 3 issued! Defcon 3 issued!

“What’s the matter!?”
“Move quickly!”

Los Angeles, USA, where the international executive conference was held.
The police department and National Guard there had an emergency in an instant.

This is because a magic circle hundreds of meters in size was created in the middle of the city. A situation where you don’t even know what kind of magical precursor that magic circle is or how to defend it.

Fortunately, a magician belonging to the National Guard quickly came running, and he quickly began to analyze the magic circle that had appeared in Los Angeles.

The results of such an analysis were truly absurd.

“… I do not know.”
“No, what if you don’t know!?”

It had only been a few months since the Earth and the other world were connected, and scientists began to study magic using science accumulated over thousands of years.

In the meantime, the passage to the other world was completely connected, and some of the magic tower’s knowledge was released to Earth… Even so, Earth Wizards are beginner to intermediate level.

In a way, it was only natural that Hwa-ah, who possessed abilities beyond that of a god, could not interpret the magic unfolded.

“Sorry. But maybe it’s a good thing that I don’t know.”
“What nonsense is that!”
“If the earthling magician doesn’t know magic… Aren’t the culprits only people from another world?”

Hearing the wizard’s words, the battalion commander fell silent for a moment. He was right. It is unlikely that a genius wizard who suddenly appeared would have done such a thing, and it is highly likely that someone who sneaked over from another world would have done such a thing.

And if the culprit is a magician from another world, it becomes a matter beyond the hands of Earth. The problems of this world are for the people of this world.

Wasn’t this the World Peace Organization created for that purpose? The battalion commander Jin raised an eyebrow, thinking that if he did well, he would be able to recover all the losses he suffered from this incident.

“Are you sure about that?”
“Even so, I have obtained a level 2 license in magic. If that’s a magic I don’t even know what it is…”
“Yeah, then that’s for sure. Contact the Peace Organization.”

Immediately, this incident passed from the National Guard to the Peace Organization, and from the Peace Organization to Seoyoon again.

Upon receiving a call from a subordinate twice her age, Seoyoon opened her mouth in a tired voice.

“… I beg your pardon?”
“This is another world terrorism. It is not a terrorism directed against people from another world, but a terrorism committed by people from another world.”
“What is that?”

Seoyoon suspected that this employee had an aversion to the other world, and that this was why he was making such nonsensical discriminatory remarks.

Unlike earthlings who are very interested in another world, isn’t it reality that people from another world with extremely low average educational attainment don’t show much interest in earth?

Of course, the number of people from other worlds who crossed over to Earth was extremely small, and no dangerous person who could perform the level of magic reported had ever crossed over.

“Ha… All right. We will send someone from here.”

After hanging up the phone, Seoyoon got a little annoyed and took out her cell phone. Then he called Dojin right away.

This is because when such an incident occurred, if you usually point out him as the culprit, 90% of them were correct.

“Uh, Dojin? I have something to ask you—”

* * *

“Kwaaaaak

The magic beasts of the labyrinth began to chew and separate the upper and lower bodies of the bodyguards. The VIPs who watched it shuddered and were busy with fear.

Thoughts like why did they get themselves caught up in this as well, and why wasn’t the president of Fantasia the only target in the first place?

Fortunately, the victims were not the only victims among them.

“Eulatcha-!”

The level 3 adventurer’s shout erupted, and at the same time the beast’s head fell to the floor. The adventurer who had hunted the beast threw her ax over her shoulder as if it were trivial and complained.

“What? Aren’t they weaker than the kids in the dungeon?”

He came over to Earth to make money in another world, and he was scouted by him by chance, and while escorting him, he flew to this labyrinth together.

Unlike most people who have never experienced such an extreme situation, adventurers have experienced this extremely many times.

Aren’t all old dungeons like this? Darkness where you can’t see an inch ahead, and endlessly swarming monsters.

‘To be able to make something like this…’

After the hunt, the adventurer who was wary of his surroundings approached his escort target and chanted.

“You guys, buy, hit. Big.”
“What? Hey, do you know something!?”
“I was furious. The gods.”
“God? Did God get angry? What are you talking about!”
“I can’t make something like this. Outside of God… Hey, it’s hard to follow because I can’t communicate.”

The adventurer, who was scratching the back of his head, threw another world language while watching the chairman looking at him with teary eyes.

“You guys are fucked. Earthlings.”
