Chapter 178 – 178. Fixed Labyrinth Demon King’s Cellar
I completed a labyrinth in 5 minutes.
Am I probably the only human who can do this?
“Kya.”
The air at dawn is truly refreshing. Maybe it’s because I got my first win, but I’m in a good mood from the morning.
“Huh? “What are you doing, brother?”
As I was happily standing on my head, Sae-ah, who was still half asleep, asked me with half-closed eyes.
“Oh, it’s no big deal. “I just conquered a labyrinth.”
“Yes?”
Sae-ah’s half-closed eyes opened wide.
That bewildered expression. The best. Yeah, there’s nothing more fun than doing something crazy and seeing other people’s reactions.
“Why? What is it? What’s going on?”
At that time, Ayun, who had just finished trimming the axe, approached us.
“No, I just heard that my brother came out after conquering a labyrinth.”
“What do you mean?”
“No. “That is.”
“It’s been less than 10 minutes since the gate opened?”
“That’s why.”
“Her. Huh. Things are really going crazy now. “Amazing!”
Ah, Yuni was dazed, and she clapped.
Just a few weeks ago, Ayun and I had similar levels of power. But now there is a huge gap.
This gap is caused by not everyone receives more than 15 skills.
I have a unique constitution, so I can easily endure up to 40, but for the rest of the group, if they go over 15, it starts to feel like a burden on their souls.
Even if more than 20 piled up, they could die suddenly, so the quantity had to be carefully controlled.
“Anyway, one thing was solved.”
“So what do we do now?”
“Well.”
There is still one more simple labyrinth left.
[Labyrinth Type: Simple Labyrinth]
[Difficulty: Intermediate]
[Labyrinth Name: Stopped Cruise Ship]
[Entry conditions: Survival level 3]
[Imposed goal: Survive for 7 hours.]
[Goal achievement reward: Blue reward box (3)]
[Capacity: 24/50]
“Survival for 7 hours.”
This is a labyrinth that will definitely take more than 7 hours. Wouldn’t it be possible to do other things with that time?
“I think I should pass.”
The reward isn’t very good, so I think it’s better to just skip this. It didn’t seem like a good idea to waste 7 hours to get 3 blue reward boxes.
Although it is better to quickly conquer the simple labyrinth to complete the challenge, it is a bit of a waste to take up too much time.
“Then we’re going alone?”
“Are you going to be okay?”
“What. “You have to last 7 hours, it’s gum.”
Ayuni looked confident.
“But what about Saeyeon and Hyuna?”
“Ah, you both feel sick. “I can’t move.”
“Aha.”
They both seem to be in trouble today, perhaps because they had a hard time yesterday. This can’t be helped. Rest is essential unless your stats are insanely high like mine.
“Are you and Sae-ah okay?”
“I’m fine.”
“I’m always in good shape.”
“Ah! Um, over there.”
At that time, Leona ran out in a hurry. Somehow, Leona was able to enter and exit the labyrinth regardless of her survival level.
Probably because she’s from another world. Even outside the labyrinth, conversations were possible smoothly. I thought we could communicate because there was a fragment of Babel, but we just communicated normally.
I’m not sure why, but I decided to do it.
“Leona, do you want to go in too?”
“Oh that. “I want to be helpful.”
Leona glanced at Ayun and Sae-ah.
Ah, Yuni nodded her head as if it was okay in any case. Sae-ah seemed a little distant, but she didn’t really object.
“But what if I really end up going back to your world this time?”
“Oh.”
As if she hadn’t even thought about it, Leona’s movements froze.
“Uh, what should I do?”
“Hmm. Infinite Labyrinth came out here normally. Wouldn’t it be okay?”
Since her location has already been fixed here, I think it would be okay for her to come. Of course, I had to make sure of this, so I entered Raythena’s sanctuary with Leona.
[Oh, that child is Mia. She has already fixed the left marker. She will be fine.]
As soon as we entered her sanctuary, Asmorphia read our minds and answered our questions. Fast. I liked it because it was quick and concise.
Perhaps they were considerate because the simple labyrinth might close.
“Thank you!”
I immediately went out with Leona again without saying goodbye.
“Bah, what the heck was that just now.”
“It’s a being called Asmorphia. Hmm. It’s like God.”
“The energy of the constellation.”
“What?”
“No. Haha.”
Leona smiled bitterly. But I think I just said constellation. Is there such a thing in Leona’s world?
I do not know. It won’t really matter whether there’s anything or not. Asmorphia is basically a very friendly being to me.
“Ah, brother.”
“Youngsik.”
At that moment, the rest of the group, who had finished preparing, came out. Yeongsik and Seonhwa, who can be said to be the leaders of the attack team. And now it was Junho who could only be described as strong.
“Uh? Seunghee is there too?”
“Hehe.”
And this time, Kang Ji-yeon was missing and Seung-hee and Hee-jeong took her place. They are both high school girls in our base and will become adults in a few months.
“I’m thinking of taking him with me this time.”
“Aha.”
It seems like Junho gave his permission. Well, we can’t just protect the base forever. You have to become stronger to receive skills from me and reduce the risk of dying.
“Then today’s member is…”
They are Sae-ah, Ayun, Leona, Yeong-sik, Seon-hwa, Han Jun-ho, Han Seung-hee, and Lee Hee-jung.
“Bye. Everyone, don’t overexert yourself.”
I saw my companions off. They simultaneously entered the simple labyrinth ‘Stopped Cruise Ship’.
Soon the gate closed. I’m not too worried. It is a power that can wipe out most enemies.
As I have explored even the highest level labyrinths, there are almost no survivors or monsters that can defeat them if they stick together.
Of course, it would be dangerous if some crazy person came in with an anti-material sniper rifle and tried to kill everyone while hiding, but there is probably no one who would do such a thing.
“Then I…”
You can enter the fixed labyrinth or complete the quest.
‘There is a very high possibility that people other than me are also challenging the fixed labyrinth.’
So the priority is a fixed labyrinth.
And now I have a total of 3 fixed labyrinths.
[Labyrinth Type: Fixed Labyrinth]
[Difficulty: Not measurable]
[Labyrinth name: Abyss – Crimson Zone]
[Access conditions: (none)]
[Assigned goal: Destroy pagan symbols – kill the Seeker of the Abyss]
[Goal achievement reward: Resurrection Stone Fragment, Golden Reward Box, Distorted Chaos Armor]
[Capacity: Unlimited]
First, hell. This is the place given to me by Asmorphia. Moreover, since the capacity is unlimited, it is ranked lower among fixed labyrinths.
[Labyrinth Type: Fixed Labyrinth]
[Difficulty: Not measurable]
[Labyrinth Name: Forest of the Missing]
[Access conditions: (none)]
[Imposed goal: Destruction of pagan symbols – Destruction of idols of God]
[Goal achievement reward: Resurrection Stone Fragment, Golden Reward Box, Twisted Abyss Curtain]
[Capacity: 13/150 (people with pass)]
Next is the Forest of the Missing. A ticket given to those who safely survive the Fallen Forest. There were already 13 people inside. They must be the ones I missed.
[Labyrinth Type: Fixed Labyrinth]
[Difficulty: Not measurable]
[Labyrinth Name: Demon King’s Underground Warehouse]
[Access conditions: (none)]
[Imposed goal: Destruction of pagan symbols – Destruction of crystal balls containing souls]
[Goal achievement reward: Resurrection Stone Fragment, Golden Reward Box, Paimon’s Crown]
[Capacity: 3/4]
And the Demon King’s underground warehouse. This place could only accommodate 4 people, but 3 people were already inside. It looks like there were three more survivors that I was too lazy to find.
“Huh.”
Maybe more than one. Because I haven’t completely checked the collapsed storage. Considering the cases in which the dark spirits were lost during the search, there is a possibility that at least 10 more people survived.
“Then we should go in from here.”
[That would be good.]
Agaf agreed. It’s urgent, but the Demon King’s underground warehouse seems to be the most urgent.
Let’s start from here and then head towards searching the forest for the missing person.
******
“Kuheook.”
The Demon King’s underground warehouse.
1st floor, ruins of the demon god.
“Shibaal.”
Sakamoto, who came in with curiosity to conquer the fixed labyrinth, collapsed and vomited blood.
He couldn’t even go around half of the first floor yet, but three curses were already piled on his body.
The Devil King’s underground warehouse is an impossible place to attack if you do not have equipment to block the curse.
There are curses, traps, and terrible marks carved by demons everywhere, and hideous monsters created by the demon king Paimon are also roaming around.
‘It’s a place you can’t conquer alone.’
In the end, Sakamoto decided to return. The best thing about the fixed labyrinth is that it is possible to return. He was able to escape immediately even if he did not achieve his goal.
“Ear, return!”
Sakamoto immediately tried to escape.
Thump!
“Huh?”
However, before he could escape, someone grabbed his head.
“Ugh, wow!!!!”
Pop!!!
Sakamoto’s head turned halfway. However, he was able to escape out of the labyrinth before it was completely broken.
“Oh, shit. “I missed it.”
Kang In-ho shook her hand and frowned at her.
[The magic energy is rich. I think it would be a good idea to wear a gas mask?]
“Okay. “Just a moment.”
As soon as he entered the labyrinth, Kang In-ho found his prey and jumped in. Only then did he put on a gas mask.
“Whoa.”
A killer has appeared in a labyrinth full of human hunters.
