Chapter 232 – 232. The Surest Way to Clean the Labyrinth

The first floor of the Great Labyrinth.

I went down the stairs with Saeyeon holding a flashlight.

This is a labyrinth date.

There is something that people who don’t have much dating experience often misunderstand. Dating is nothing else. If you walk together holding hands, that’s a date.

It’s good wherever you go. If both people are happy, that is happiness, and if they do not let go of each other, that is joy.

“The atmosphere is very scary. Hehe. It feels like I’m in a haunted house.”

“I see. But I’ve never been to a haunted house.”

“Really?”

“Yes. What about your sister?”

“When I went on a school field trip with my friends… That was already a few years ago, right?”

Hehe. My sister is older.”

“Hey! Kang In-ho… Don’t talk about your age…”

“Yes. Hehe.”

Bones and skulls presumed to be human were buried among the piles of stones, and centipedes and various unnamed insects were moving between the gaping eye sockets.

As I walked around that place, I joked with my older sister. The atmosphere wasn’t too bad.

“Would you like some snacks?”

“Oh, that’s good.”

This is the catacombs. When we left the central hall, it was a complete labyrinth itself.

The atmosphere was full of a dangerous smell.

Of course, this has nothing to do with us. I walked down the stairs, sharing snacks with my sister.

“The further down you go, the more depressing it gets. Right?”

“Yes. And overall, the style here is similar to before the change.”

“I know. It’s still an eerie place. Ah, here. Cola.”

“Ohh.”

I took a coke from Saeyeon and looked around her.

It was almost identical to the catacombs area that was originally Labyrinth 2. However, it feels wider and bigger.

“They said the spiral staircase was the same and the monsters that appeared were similar…”

“Huh. It looks like nothing has changed here.”

Still, the internal structure will have changed, so the map must be recreated.

‘Agaph.’

[Already doing it.]

Agaf, who had cartography, was recording the surrounding environment.

Soon a rough map of the first floor was revealed. It was very similar to the map Yeongsik had drawn, albeit sloppily.

“It’s all just crumbs, so there’s nothing to pick up.”

The monster didn’t even appear. It wasn’t time to respawn yet, and it seems like elites and boss monsters reset every week.

“Youngsik and the kids were swept away once. I guess they completely brushed it off. Uh? “Over there.”

“Huh?”

At that time, Saeyeon pointed in one direction.

There was a box there.

It was a box that had not been opened yet.

“I don’t feel any presence… Mimic!”

I immediately summoned a sick and sick Mimic.

“Gurgling. Gurgling.”

A mimic that spits out unidentifiable pieces of wood as soon as it is summoned.

“That box over there. Is it Mimic?”

“Kkueh…”

“Hmm.”

Communication wasn’t good, but it seemed like it wasn’t the case.

“For now, sister, please wait here for a moment.”

“Yes!”

If that box is not a Mimic, there may be a trap hidden nearby.

‘Let’s see. There’s nothing.’

Ting!

“Oh my!!!”

Wow!!!!

As soon as I got close, I touched the trap. Immediately a window shot out from the ceiling.

“Ugh. It hurts.”

“Inho!!”

“I’m fine.”

Of course, all the protruding windows were bent or bent.

It couldn’t penetrate my body. It was painful, but there was no real damage other than a few bruises.

“Huh.”

There was only one trap, and there were no other dangerous substances.

Soon I ripped the lock off the box and checked the contents.

[Compass for gate tracking: Indicates the direction of the nearest gate.]

[Ring of the Defeated Soldier: When fed with the lowest grade magic stone, durability and resistance stats are doubled for 1 hour.][Durability 4]

[Level Healing Potion: If you drink it, your wounds will heal quickly. You may feel a slight stomach ache.]

“Nothing special.”

There was really nothing special. These are the guys that always come out of the green jewel box. I was relaxed by the appearance of items that have now become so common.

‘But this is still the beginning… If we go down, maybe we’ll find something better?’

That is very likely. It’s natural in a labyrinth that the lower you go, the better rewards appear.

So, don’t be too disappointed even if the items that have been released now are worthless. Something better will come out later.

“Is there anything else unusual?”

“I think the treasure chest I found a little while ago is the last one.”

“Hmm. I guess Yeongsik did it all.”

My sister and I really went down to the 5th floor as if we were taking a walk.

There were some traps that had not yet been dismantled, but we were able to destroy them and go down without any trouble.

Honestly, traps like this can’t even put a scratch on my body anymore.

Also, the corpses of the undead that Yeongsik had left behind were piled up in a corner.

I saw a few guys who looked strong, but I decided not to pay much attention to them because the fact that they died here ultimately meant that they were weaker than Yeongsik.

“Wow, this place is so spacious.”

The 5th floor, the end of the catacombs area, was one large space. There was a high ceiling and large pillars, and the walls were lined with sarcophagi.

Judging from the fact that all the coffins were open or smashed, it seemed like Yeongsik and the raid team had swept them all out.

Well, since there were a few dark spirits attached, it would have been easy to deal with them.

“Oh. There are stairs going down there.”

“It’s true. Let’s go!”

“Okay.”

I held Saeyeon’s hand and headed to the entrance of the 6th floor.

The wind blows from below. It was a cold wind. I can already feel the coolness of entering a cave.

“It’s a devil’s cave from here.”

“Ugh. Bad smell.”

The environment has completely changed from the 6th floor.

There were no artifacts to be seen, and it was built like one large cave. Only the stairs going down were artificial.

There were rotting animal corpses left all over the place. These must have been things that Yeongsik and the labyrinth team were too crazy to bring up.

“Here. Wear this.”

“Thank you, sister.”

Saeyeon took out a gas mask item from her inventory and handed it to me.

We expertly put it on and continued down.

There were no creatures in particular that could be encountered. Perhaps because Yeongsik and the strategy team killed everyone, there were no living monsters.

“It’s neat.”

“They really captured and killed everyone in sight.”

We reached the 10th floor without any problems.

“That’s a nest.”

“Wow.”

A large cyst-like thing had been torn, and dangerous-looking cave monsters… That is, quadrupedal bat monsters, were lying dead all over the place.

“Monsters will appear from here, so shall we pick some bodyguards?”

“Huh. Good.”

I decided to eliminate some dark spirits in advance before passing the nest and entering the 11th floor.

“Come out.”

I lightly summoned one Ramek and one Bibal.

It would be too crazy to bring them all in, so I’m thinking of taking these two down further.

“Shit. “It’s rolling without a break.”

“Caw!”

“Shut up, both of you.”

Ramek and Bibhar had a tendency to talk loudly, so they were prevented from speaking in advance.

‘How strong is it?’

What is it that makes you want to crawl out from the 11th floor? It must be a forest where animals live, or a sewer.

******

The 11th floor was a forest.

In that case, the 16th floor would be a sewer.

“Wide. It’s bigger than when I visited before.”

“The ceiling is also abnormally high.”

“There are a lot of trees growing. OMG. There are a lot of bugs. Inho. On your shoulder.”

“Yes? Ahhh!!!”

There was a strange-looking bug the size of a palm stuck to my shoulder, so I burned it right away.

“It’s different here.”

There are a lot of bugs. It feels like there has been an excessive increase in not only animals, but also insects, plants, and other things.

What should I say? Should I say it feels like a state on the verge of a runaway?

“No, why is the density so high?”

“Hmm. Hmm.”

“What is it?”

I asked Lamech, who was humming as if he wanted to answer my question, to tell me something, and he answered with a grin.

“Most of these people are not from this floor.”

“What?”

“The size of the energy felt is different. It seems like all the animals and bugs downstairs have come up here.”

“You mean you moved floors?”

“Okay. There is a very high possibility that there is something down here.”

“Oh my…”

He had run away. Avoiding something.

‘What on earth is there?’

There are about 3 candidates.

First, the caveman that Yeongsik saw.

Or an unknown monster that rose from a deep pond.

Either that or…

“Pagan.”

There is a possibility that the heretics that were added as a penalty for the labyrinth were rampant.

‘Furthermore, there is a high possibility that there are more than three people.’

This is because, in the process of combining the labyrinths, the original rules changed strangely.

Therefore, there was no way that only three pagans would come out this time.

“Sister. “I’m up here with this guy.”

“Is it very dangerous?”

“Yes. It’s dangerous.”

I can’t show Saeyeon to the pagans for no reason.

It’s unfortunate that the labyrinth walking date ends here.

“Come out.”

I summoned three more hitmen.

“You have to be careful.”

“Yes. “I’ll go up soon.”

I smiled and saw Saeyeon off.

The older sister moved up with her team of hitmen, including Lamech. At that level, I’ll cut up everything that comes out and kill it, so there’s no need to worry.

“Then.”

I summoned not the first Ramek, who was sent up, but the second Ramek, Bibhal, Abalam, and even Queen Alcid, whom I had captured from Gimhae this time.

I wanted to summon the mushroom beast, but it was too big, so I passed.

“You never know what might be down there. “We will all go down together and kill everyone we see.”

“Is that all there is to the order?”

“Uh. Just kill everyone you see. There is no one on our side down here anyway.”

The second son, Lamech, smiled in satisfaction at my words. Bival and Abalam nodded their heads in understanding, and Queen Al Cid glanced at me.

“What are you…?”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, this is my first time summoning this bastard.

Since this is your first summon, you may not know what your situation is.

“Listen carefully. You are now my slave. “You must follow my orders.”

“…?”

Queen Al Cid shook her head as if she couldn’t understand. Then she suddenly distorted her expression and pointed a finger at me.

“Ah!!! I remembered!!! You guy!! The person who attacked me!!!!”

It seems he finally remembered his own death.

There is no use getting angry now.

“Ugh. The secret wish of our race. My dream. Ah.”

In the end, Queen Al Cid realized that there was no way for her and shed tears.

“Now. There is no time to cry, so hurry up and run after your seniors!!! If you don’t want to be left behind!!!”

“Kyaaa!!!!”

Queen Al Cid, who was crying, went into the forest screaming as she hit her chest with her palm.

I will begin my search for heretics by scanning them all the way from the 12th floor.

“Ruler. “Then.”

I used presence detection to determine that all the dark spirits had gone down to the 12th floor, and then raised both hands.

“Cleanup work begins!”

Changyeom Gwaehwa gushes out like crazy from both palms.

Ultra-high-temperature blue flames poured out from both my palms to engulf the entire 11th floor.

Large fire.

Fire demons cover the labyrinth.

Ash and smoke were created like crazy, but it had no effect on me.

‘You just need to wear a gas mask to remove contamination~’

A gas mask that filters out all air pollutants with magic stones.

With this one, it doesn’t matter if it’s full of ash and smoke.

The problem is caused by the cubs gathered on the 11th floor.

“Kkueeeeek!!!!”

“Kwaaaaa!!!!”

The cries of animals dying from fire or suffocation from smoke could be heard from all directions.

Insects, plants, and animals are all turning red.

The delicious barbecue scent flowed through the gas mask filter.

My mouth is watering.

“Everyone dies.”

The fire becomes more intense.

Yes, this is the correct way to conquer the labyrinth.

What? Does grass grow in a labyrinth? What? Bugs live in the labyrinth?

If you set a fire, everything will be thoroughly searched.

Haha!”

I laughed amidst the rising flames.
