I barely retreated to safety and stared blankly at her.
Everything around her was frozen.
A cold frost clung to her skin like a crust, and the ice embodied in magic wrapped around her body like armor.
Suddenly, the welcome disappeared, and she stared at me quietly and took a step forward.
Hey hey!
As she moved, the surroundings became cold and frozen once again.
“… …attribute.”
A magic that can be used when one attribute’s proficiency reaches its peak.
Although this is an ability that Lee Seo-jun and Bert frequently use, the level of power of the attribute of the Ice Soul Sword Mastery is different.
“… … You’re letting me use this ability?”
The magical energy flowing from the Ice Soul Sword Emperor’s sword froze the surrounding area.
Just looking at it makes my heart flutter, and I feel a strong sense of pressure.
I looked at the sight and smiled slightly.
When I didn’t move, she seemed to sense something was strange and spoke first.
“… … You’re strangely relaxed. Or are you just being relaxed?”
I didn’t bother to answer.
She seemed to be offended by the sight and quickly ran towards me.
Pfft!
She came towards me in an instant. The surroundings froze, and I felt like my body was freezing as well.
And then, the ability was activated.
[Activates ‘Protection of Reversal’.]
As I activated my ability, a mysterious power began to spread within me.
As if she felt a sense of crisis in the sudden situation, she stopped moving and quickly stepped back.
I didn’t miss the gap and immediately used my next ability.
[Use effect ‘Attribute Inversion’ to activate.]
Attribute inversion.
It was a magic that lowered all attribute resistances by the amount of the opponent’s highest attribute resistance.
It was a secret magic that allowed one to instantly defeat the ‘Great Spirit of the Border’ by making it weaker.
A mysterious energy gathered over my palm.
I ran straight forward and fired at her.
Pfft!
The magic instantly reached the Ice Soul Sword Master’s body, and her eyes flashed at the sudden situation.
“……This?”
At the same time, the ice that had been shining white on her body gradually lost its light.
She felt bewildered by the new situation and terrified of the pain that would come.
“… … Ugh!”
[The value of ice attribute resistance is equal to the number of
All attribute resistances are reduced!]
The ice that had been stuck to her body fell to the floor with a crash.
Her eyes twitched violently as she lost all her strength in an instant.
A look of helplessness. She looked up at me with trembling eyes.
“This is… … the magic of reversal… … ?”
There was deep shock in her voice.
As expected of a wizard who is active on the front lines of the guild, he immediately knows the true nature of the magic.
I noticed.
The protection of reversal.
It was the magic of the former leader of the British special forces and the one with the nickname ‘Enigma’.
Of course, that information would have to be known to a wizard as great as her.
She looked at me with trembling eyes and soon opened her mouth.
“… … How about Sir Kenneth’s magic?”
I showed no response to the Ice Soul Sword Master’s question.
[There is no need to explain the reversal of fortunes, as it would not have been beneficial to me.
Instead of answering, I injected light magic into the lightsaber.
A strong pillar of light trembled slightly and swung quickly towards her.
square!
[We won against an excellent inspector!]
[The proficiency of the ‘Baekcheon Sword Technique’ greatly increases.]
[Adaptive trait ‘Baekcheon Sword Technique (B)’ grade is raised to A!]
[The winner of the Sky Arena has been decided!]
[Wizard Game – Cleared the Sky Arena!]
[Your team members’ abilities increase by 10%!]
[Obtain a reward pouch.]
I looked at the message in front of me with a satisfied smile.
The Baekcheon Sword Technique’s rank has now risen to A.
Except for S-class monsters, it has reached a level where it cannot be pushed back by a sword.
Of course, I still have the ability to do well, so I won’t be pushed around anywhere.
“Phew.”
I took a short breath and fell into thought.

There were moments of crisis, but somehow we overcame that huge mountain.
It could be seen that the compatibility was good.
If the opponent hadn’t used ‘Attribute’, it would have been impossible to know the outcome.
However, I wonder what outsiders will think of me using the ‘magic of reversal’.
… … Well, I guess you can imagine.
[It is not the magic of a minority clan that can reverse the situation, nor is it the secret technique of a sect.
It was a ‘trait’ that was born without a reason, like ‘destruction of the devil’.
By the way, ‘trait’ is not exclusive to anyone.
Swordsman, archer, sixth sense, guardian… …etc.
There are more people with the same characteristics in one era than you might think.
That means that the reversal of fortune is not exclusive to riddles.
Then a strong light flashed in front of me
A portal was created.
The door to the next stage.
I took a slow step forward.
“… … Following the designer’s ability, this time it’s the mystery ability?”
After the Ghost Battle.
‘Scales of Balance’, who had been watching the Wizard game, was watching the broadcast screen with a puzzled expression.
“I thought you were Kim Jeong-hee’s disciple… … Was your identity a mystery?”
Riddle, Kenneth.
He was a wizard who had achieved great things as the leader of the former British special forces.
Although he is now enjoying a peaceful life in retirement, his name still has a great influence on later generations of magicians.
“… … Hey, it’s not a mystery, is it? Oh! Could it be that you’re his disciple?”
“The magic of reversal is known as a trait. You can learn it just because you are a disciple.
“It’s not there.”
That’s not wrong.
Because someone’s unique characteristics can’t be learned.
Then one person said,
“I don’t know if he’s the disciple of Sir Kenneth, but he’s definitely the disciple of the designer. His basic fighting style is quite good.”
“Then what about the magic of reversal? How can the disciple of the designer use the magic of reversal?”
“……that.”
The rebuttal left the words trailing off.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
“Could it be that the designer’s disciple just happened to be born with the trait of reversal… … ?”
After the battle with the Ice Soul Sword, which I thought was the biggest mountain, the remaining stages progressed quickly.
I cleared a total of 4 stages over two days, occasionally receiving supplies from my teammates to speed things up.
[Your teammate won the stage.]
[Your abilities increase by 10%.]
[Your teammate delivers the supplies.]
[You have acquired the ‘Warp Switch’.]
“oh.”
And today, I got a sudden reward.
[Warp Switch]
[You can enter the hidden stage ‘Maze of Welcome’.]
[Available time: 5 hours]
“It was about time this came out.”
It was an item that appeared in the original work and was treated with considerable importance.
I remember it first appearing around the 4th day of the Wizard game.
An item that allows you to move to the ‘hidden stage’ as described.
In the original, Yoon Ha-young received this reward and sent it to Lee Seo-jun, but we
Looks like someone on the team got it too.
By the way, the Welcome Maze is a pretty important stage.
This is because there is a special path hidden that allows you to skip 3 stages based on your own stage.
Of course, not everyone can pass, and you have to win the competition.
“… … A lot of things happen.”
By now there should be quite a few people gathered in the Welcome Maze.
You absolutely must participate in this maze as it may decide the winner.
After I put away the food I got as a reward for clearing the stage, I took out the warp switch and pressed it.
Flash!
[You have entered the hidden stage ‘Maze of Welcome’.]
I looked around slowly.
Deep darkness.
A complex path like a maze came into view.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary maze, but as its name, ‘The Maze of Welcome’, suggests, it shows people a sense of welcome.
It’s similar to the ‘nightmare fog’ I’ve experienced before, but you have to be careful because you might get lost in the illusion.
Oh, by the way, the welcome shown here is real.
It is possible to defeat it through combat.
“……Phew.”
As I exhaled briefly and took a step forward, a scream was heard from somewhere.
—Ahhhhh!
A voice filled with fear. Soon, a noise was heard, along with urgent footsteps.
The footsteps stopped in front of me.
“……Ghost?”
The one who revealed himself was a man with black hair.
It’s a face I remember.
Maybe he was a wizard from the Sword of Extinction?
I thought it might be ‘welcome’, so I used [Character Insight] and the window appeared properly.
That means he’s ‘real’.
As I raised my magic power, the bastard turned around and said.
“W-Wait a minute! There’s a monster behind you… …!”
At the guy’s words, I turned my gaze behind him.
Before I knew it, a giant spider monster with a terrifying appearance was staring at me.
But that’s not a real spider.
It was an illusion created by that guy.
But is that all a wizard is afraid of?
Then the guy turned around again and his face turned pale.
“Ahhhhh!”
After that, he implemented the magic and released it towards the spider.
The spider was attacked and made a strange howling sound.
But the spider did not fall.
Instead, he rushed forward with an even more vicious noise.
The guy looked at me with a defeated expression.
said.
“Hey, help me!”
They are so terrified that they can’t even tell the difference between friend and foe.
As I took out my magic sword and injected magic into it, the guy’s face lit up.
“Yeah, yeah. That guy… …
square!
As he swung his arm, a long wound was drawn on the guy’s body.
His body slowly disintegrated into dust, and at the same time, the spider illusion behind him also disappeared.
“……Phew.”
I walked forward again.
Because we have to move as quickly as possible to win.
I walked for ten minutes like that, but nothing that could be called welcome appeared.
As I was walking down the street with those thoughts in mind.
A light flashed somewhere nearby.
The room is not visible because it is blocked by a wall
It looks like someone has arrived in the ‘Welcome Maze’.
I’ve increased my magical power in preparation for an unexpected battle.
A moment later, ‘it’ appeared in front of me.
“Huh? You… … ?”
I withdrew my magic power right away.
An unexpected person stood before me.
A woman with light brown hair.
It was Choi Seo-yoon.
She let out a small laugh as she stood there in silence at the unexpected encounter.
“… … Ah, what is it? It was a welcome. Surprise.”
“..2″
It seems like they mistook me for a welcome guest.
I don’t know what made you so sure I was welcome.
He soon came up to me and waved his hand in front of my face.
“… … It’s more like the real thing. It’s a welcome sight for things related to you.
go?”
He came closer and sniffed around.
“Even the smell is the same… … Huh?”
Seo-yoon Choi stopped moving as if she sensed something strange.
Then he carefully reached out and touched my chest.
Thump thump.
She fell down with a startled gasp as if she felt her heart pounding.
“… … Really?”
She looked at me with eyes filled with confused emotions and then belatedly
Pulled up.
Since I couldn’t just sit back and let it happen, I also raised my magic power.
at that time.
“What are you doing here?”
A familiar voice was heard from next to me.
Seo-yoon Choi and I both looked there at the same time.
“……Seniors?”
The one who showed up was Lee Seo-jun.
His gaze turned to me, and I quickly drew up my magic power.
Lee Seo-jun, who saw my actions, pulled out the So Baek-cheon on his waist.
Choi Seo-yoon looked back and forth between me and Lee Seo-jun, then asked Lee Seo-jun.
“… …Senior? When did you get here?”
“Welcome. Take care.”
“yes?”
Seo-yoon Choi frowned at my words.
Lee Seo-jun immediately refuted it.
“Seo-yoon-ah. You’re not going to fall for those words, are you?”
“……that.”
Choi Seo-yoon’s gaze turned to me.
“Think carefully. Who is your enemy? Ghosts are our enemy.”
“……Yes.”
Choi Seo-yoon finally nodded.
I decided to trust Lee Seo-jun.
There’s no reason for her to believe me, who’s on the opposing team.
I felt a strange bitterness, but there was nothing I could do about it given the circumstances.
Eventually I decided to make the first move.
He immediately implemented the chain and released it to Lee Seo-jun.
Sasa sasa sak!
However, Lee Seo-jun quickly swung his sword and blocked my attack.
The movements were precise and fast.
“Haat!”
Lee Seo-jun, who had thrown off all the chains, rushed towards me.
The moment I was about to respond to the onslaught, I felt a strong magical force next to me.
When she turned her head, a giant ice spear was formed above Choi Seo-yoon’s head.
Choi Seo-yoon glared at me with hard eyes.
And released the window.
Paaang!
The window was shot quickly.
For a split second, but contrary to expectations, the tip of the spear was pointed somewhere other than me.
It was Lee Seo-jun’s head.
grasp!
“Uh, how did you know… … ?”
Lee Seo-jun, who was stabbed by a spear, muttered in a trembling voice and then disappeared into black smoke.
Choi Seo-yoon said, looking at the disappearing smoke.
“… … It was truly a welcome welcome.”
“You really believed me.”
As the smoke completely cleared, she turned to me and smiled.
“I didn’t think you’d lie.”
It’s obvious that they’re enemies, but what’s your basis for this?
Did you believe what he said?
Then suddenly a question arose.
Was the illusion I just saw my illusion or was it Choi Seo-yoon’s illusion?
After a moment of silence, she looked me in the eye and opened her mouth.
“… … That welcome just now, was it my welcome?”
I kept my mouth shut for a moment and then answered.
“I guess so.”
For a moment, my mind became a little complicated.
The maze of illusions brings to mind illusions related to the subject.
If Lee Seo-jun’s illusion was caused by me and Choi Seo-yoon wasn’t by my side, the people watching would have felt doubtful.
Because it was evidence that the ghost might be related to ‘Lee Seo-jun’.
When I thought about that, a chill ran down my spine.
At that moment, Choi Seo-yoon seemed to have come to her senses and looked at me with a wary gaze.
“Are you going to attack me?”
It was a reaction of belatedly realizing that I was the enemy.
I looked at her like that and shook my head.
If I move around here alone, I don’t know what kind of illusions will come to me.
If illusions like ‘Jaun’ and ‘Jincheonwoo’ appear before me, the people watching this match will feel strange about my identity.
… … Can’t I help it?
“Are you thinking of forming a temporary alliance?”
Choi Seo-yoon was surprised at how unexpected my proposal was.
I squinted my eyes.
“An alliance?”
She responded with suspicion.
It was natural.
Not only will you gain nothing from accompanying me, but you’ll also increase the likelihood of being betrayed.
“Why an alliance? You could destroy the welcome alone.”
That’s true too.
And I kept rolling my head.
I couldn’t think of a good excuse to ask that question.
In the end, this was all I could say.
“… …because I was scared.”
Seo-yoon Choi and I, who had formed a temporary alliance(?) by chance, were walking to find the exit of the ‘Maze of Illusion.’
An eerie atmosphere hung in the air.
A short scream was heard from somewhere, and somewhere else an explosion accompanied by intense magical power erupted.
There are other participants in the maze of welcome besides us.
Those sounds are probably from someone who has seen the vision
That must be Ga’s reaction.
“It’s creepy.”
Seo-yoon Choi looked around and spoke in a tense voice.
But that was only for a moment.
She looked at me with a mysterious expression on her face.
“Oh, right. Are you feeling a little better now?”
“..2”
I looked at her with dumbfounded eyes, but I had nothing to say in response.
I made an excuse that I was scared to go with you.
Because it was me.
Seo-yoon Choi smiled faintly as she looked at me like that.
“You seem too scared to even answer. It’s just a welcome, so there’s no need to be afraid.”
I said it as a joke, but it secretly hurt my pride.
As I was walking through the maze, a question suddenly occurred to me.
“But why are you here?”
Seo-yoon Choi turned her gaze to my question.
“yes’?”
“I asked why you used the warp switch instead of giving it to Lee Seo-jun.”
The normal flow is for the ‘warp switch’ to be passed on to the team’s ace.
In the original work, it was Lee Seo-jun who attempted to conquer the maze of illusions.
I also got a warp switch from my teammate and came here.
“Ah, that’s… …
Choi Seo-yoon trailed off.
He seemed worried that he might be leaking information about the team.
When I saw that, I naturally realized what was going on.
“It seems Lee Seo-jun already possessed the warp switch, so he couldn’t send it.”
For a moment, her shoulders flinched.
The reaction was that it hit the nail on the head.
Soon, instead of answering, she gave an awkward laugh.
“haha……
I was lost in thought for a moment.
If my guess is correct, there is a high possibility that Lee Seo-jun is already somewhere in the ‘Labyrinth of Welcome’.
What should I do with this?
With the Ice Soul Sword Emperor eliminated, Lee Seo-jun is the strongest competitor left in the Wizard Games.
We will have to think of a suitable response.
Right then.
A black aura spread out before us.
Seo-yoon Choi and I stopped walking in the sudden situation.
The darkness gradually transformed into a human form.
went.
I could tell instinctively.
That the maze is creating an illusion
After a while, the completed illusion in the darkness slowly walked towards us.
Seo-yoon Choi muttered blankly after seeing that.
“… … That’s me?”
The person who appeared before my eyes was none other than ‘Choi Seo-yoon’.
I felt embarrassed by the sudden appearance of Seo-yoon Choi.
She also looked at it with a puzzled face and then turned her gaze to me.
“Is this perhaps your welcome?”
“……well.”
I pretended not to notice, but the illusions that Miro creates are usually of other people, so it must be an illusion that I created.
It’s difficult.
The illusions created by the Welcome Maze are visualizations of things hidden in the minds of the participants.
It was a situation that could easily have been misunderstood.
The only good thing is that I was with her, so I had something to make an excuse about.
But Choi Seo-yoon looked at me with suspicious eyes as if she felt something strange.
That was when.
“Choi Seo-yoon.”
A familiar voice was heard from behind Seo-yoon Choi, who had been created by the welcome.
At the same time, Choi Seo-yoon’s face hardened. I felt the same way.
Fantasy, games, bing, munchkin,
