Chapter 632
Raon looked down while sitting on a black rock where lava was gushing out.
[Kireuk… .]
The phoenix, which looked bigger than a volcano, was sitting on the ground in a state of being smaller than a chicken, having lost all its strength.
“name.”
[…] … .]
I flicked my finger to say the name, but the phoenix only opened its beak as if in a frenzy.
“answer.”
[Pun, subtract?]
When he lowered his voice, the phoenix let out a frightened chick cry.
“Ask again. name.”
Raon lowered his cool eyes and narrowed his brows.
[Ka, this is Kaiyan!]
The phoenix spit out its own name with a sharp beak that terrified humans.
“It’s Kaiyan… .”
Raon nodded and asked the second question.
“Age is?”
[Cheer, I haven’t really counted since a thousand years passed.]
Kaiyan scratched the back of his head with his wings as if he was embarrassed that he didn’t know his age.
[Besides, this is a special place, so it’s a bit difficult to know her age… .]
“Is it over if you don’t know?”
[…] … .]
“answer.”
[Pump, pip!]
The boy shook his beak with a frightened expression.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not accurate. Just tell me roughly.”
[S-I think it’s a little over 3,000 years if I count the years I’ve lived… .]
The phoenix replied with her eyes tightly closed as if she had forcibly calculated her age.
“Three thousand years… .”
From the first time I saw it, I felt that its size and firepower were different from ordinary phoenixes, but as expected, it was a guy who had lived a very long time.
“What were you doing here?”
[I was fulfilling my promise… .]
“What promise?”
[It’s to stay here and test the people who come in.]
Kaiyan continued, stroking his beak with his wings.
[Only people I allow can go downstairs.]
“You were also a gatekeeper.”
As he died, he cried out that he couldn’t leave this place without his permission. As expected, he seems to have been acting as a gatekeeper here.
“What am I watching?”
Burren shook his head in amazement.
“Is it right to interrogate the Phoenix now?”
“Was it okay to practice fighting while reviving the phoenix?”
Martha snorted, saying that she was quick to startle.
“I don’t think I’ll be surprised no matter what the landlord does now.”
She looked at the back of Raon’s head and brushed her hair.
“Jonja Laon.”
Runaan clapped his hands as if he was good.
“Who made a promise to you?”
Raon looked down at Kaiyan and gestured his chin.
[I, there… .]
Kaiyan forced his trembling head up.
[That’s why, can I ask one question?]
“What?”
[Could you take a closer look at the flame you used to resurrect me?]
The tone of voice has completely changed. I didn’t know that the phoenix could speak so softly.
“The spark used to resurrect you?”
[I feel similar to the person who promised me… .]
“… … .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he listened to Kaiyan’s words.
‘Is this also what Sieghart’s first head of household did?’
It seems that it was Sieghart’s ancestors who set up this phoenix as a gatekeeper.
After hitting the curtain so that the others couldn’t hear it, the cartoonist’s spark was raised.
Whoaaaaa!
As they reached the cartoonist’s heaven, flames entwined in light gold were in the eyes of the phoenix.
[also… .]
Kaiyan nodded, looking at the flames of the cartoonist, which were still closer to red.
[It’s still immature, but you’re a descendant of that human. However, the personality is the exact opposite… .]
“what?”

[Pin, pip! No!]
He trembled his wings as if he was afraid he might be hit again.
“Did he make this place?”
[That’s right. I’m not alone, but it seems that many people made it… .]
“hmm… .”
The memory was real. It was right that Seonjo and his colleagues created this space.
“Why did you accept the role of gatekeeper?”
[I am in debt… .]
“debt?”
[That human saved the children of his own people. If it wasn’t for him, he would have been captured and enslaved by other humans.]
“is it.”
It seems that the ancestors saved the phoenix captured by humans. There is nothing that doesn’t fit here and there. I guess I really had a wanderlust.
[Anyway, since I don’t have much time left in my life, I accepted his offer and became the gatekeeper here.]
“Tell me exactly what he asked you to do.”
[I told them to take the appropriate exam, send them downstairs if they passed, and send them back so they could retake the exam if they failed.]
Raon nodded as he looked into Kaiyan’s eyes, whose trembling had stopped.
‘I’m starting to get a feel for it now.’
It seemed that Sieghart’s first head of household had created this space for all of Sieghart’s successors. Seeing that it was a test, I was certain.
“But isn’t that a bit strange?”
[Pun, subtract?]
“When you saw us, you showed your real life.”
It wasn’t a test, Kaiyan spewed out a killing spree that seemed to kill all the humans here.
The reason I killed him several times and used it as a teaching aid was because I felt really alive at that time.
[That, that was not my will.]
“Isn’t it your will?”
[There were humans who found this place a while ago. Not content to pass through these lands, they twisted the law and the barriers. Among them, there is a monster that I can’t handle… .]
I thought I knew who it was.
‘Derus Robert.’
As I felt on the first floor, it was clear that Derus Robert had come here himself.
‘As expected, this is not a normal grave.’
Even if this place was originally Sieghart’s training center or Swordsman’s tomb, it was now just a trap created by Derus Robert.
“Did you see his face?”
[I was caught in an instant and I couldn’t see it. It was strong, but it was wearing something on her face… .]
Kaiyan trembled as if he still felt fear.
“Right.”
Raon nodded calmly. He didn’t have to be disappointed. There is no way that De Luz Robert would have left his own mark here.
[More, thanks to you, I came to my senses. Open the way downstairs… .]
Kaiyan noticed and slowly stepped back.
“Where are you going?”
Raon reached out and grabbed Kayyan’s neck.
[Bad!]
“Not some kind of chick.”
I felt like I was being bullied by someone I didn’t know.
– You’re bullying, right?
Lars shook his head.
-That poor thing. If it was the original king, I would have eaten it in one bite… .
The boy licked his lips in pity.
“after… .”
He let out a deep sigh and plucked Kaiyan’s feathers.
[Extraction… .]
As the feathers were plucked out one after another, Kaiyan’s eyes welled up in tears.
[Are you really trying to eat me? It must be tasteless because I don’t have any weight now… .]
“Not that… .”
– Well thought out!
As Raon shook his head, Lars raised his clenched fist.
-The king has now realized something tremendous!
‘What?’
I was anxious, but I looked at Lars just in case.
-You can keep reviving that phoenix, right?
‘okay.’
-Then, eat that bastard with only one feather left, then revive it with that feather! And after eating it, you can resurrect it again!
A flood of water flowed from Lars’ mouth.
– Soft meat comes out endlessly! Hunger problem solved on all continents! It’s all-you-can-eat chicken!
The boy’s eyes rolled back.
-Didn’t that chick ask for food too! Immediately into the mouth of the king!
Wow!
Raon thrust his fist into Lars’ mouth.
‘You insectivore! Eat this and shut up!’
* * *
“Whoa.”
Delfros sat down on a white chair holding his forehead.
“He was right… .”
He bit his lip as he looked at the broken crystal ball.
“yes?”
Sabidaeju shook his head as if he didn’t know what he meant.
“He told me to get rid of Raon Sieghart as soon as possible if Raon Sieghart entered the tomb. He told me to think of it as a risk equivalent to a transcendent.”
“Yeah, but why… .”
“I thought the other guys were more important.”
Delfros frowned as he looked at the broken crystal ball.
“In fact, there are at least five stronger than Raon Sieghart in the tomb. Doesn’t it make sense to leave those monsters behind and look after a youngster who has just turned 20!”
He bit his lip as if he hadn’t known it would turn out like this.
“Besides, just killing them won’t help. He’s a really annoying guy.”
“Then, how about driving all the traps and monsters on the next floor towards the windmill?”
Sabidaeju lowered his head and approached.
“No matter how strong Raon Sieghart is, he won’t be able to protect everyone in the windmill. No, if Raon stands in front and takes care of all the traps and monsters, that’s even better. It could consume his stamina and aura.”
He clenched his fists saying that was the only way.
“okay. That would be the only way for now.”
Delfloss sighed and nodded.
“I will prepare.”
Sabidaeju nodded and disappeared into the shadows.
It was when Delfros was rubbing his temples as if irritated.
Chara La Rock!
From the right corner of the dimly lit room, along with the sound of chains, a grotesque noise resounded like a demon from hell crying.
Woo woo!
Delfros calmly turned his gaze to the place where the sound echoed earlier. As if to protect or imprison something. Dark eyes flashed in the long space of his gray mist.
“It is not your turn yet.”
Delfros made eye contact with the dark eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
“Because the main character comes last.”
* * *
Raon dipped an old iron ring he had bought in Cameloon during his trainee days into lava.
The ring did not melt even in the lava and remained intact.
Chiyiyi profit!
how long has it been A strange echo occurred on the surface of the ring.
It doesn’t melt. The yellow rust peeled off, and a mysterious pattern began to be engraved on the ring.
‘it’s okay.’
Raon wrapped the golden ring with a feather of a phoenix. Because the feathers were so large, three feathers could cover all parts of the ring.
Woo woo woo.
The ring emitted intense heat from within the feathers of the phoenix, causing a small tremble. If this trembling stops, the seal on the ring will naturally be released.
‘Then this time… .’
I took out the ring I had received from Merlin and dipped it into the lava.
‘This doesn’t work.’
There was no reaction even after soaking in lava for a long time. This ring also had a special seal engraved on it, but it seemed that the method of unlocking it was different.
‘I’ll have to find another way.’
I put Merlin’s ring back on my finger, thinking there was nothing I could do about it.
“Kayan.”
Raon brushed off his hands and gestured to Kaiyan, who was trembling behind him.
[Pun?]
“Open the door.”
[Bad!]
Kaiyan flicked his beak and spread his wings the size of a human palm.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
The lava cracked in a sawtooth shape, and a dimensional door was opened to descend to the next floor above the red-hot earth.
[If you go through that passage, you will be able to reach the maze on the 3rd floor.]
“maze?”
[Yes. The third floor is a maze. You have to find a way avoiding traps and monsters.]
“hmm… .”
Raon turned his gaze to Kaiyan and looked at the windmill.
“Go down first.”
“All right. Let’s enter in order, starting with group 1!”
Burren nodded and gestured, and the blast poles entered the hole one after another.
[Then, go carefully, I’m done… .]
“What are you talking about.”
Raon shook his head and stretched out his right hand. I grabbed Kayyan’s neck as he fluttered as if he was trying to escape.
[Pump, pip!]
“Where are you going?”
[Well, I’ve finished all my work… .]
“You have to guide me. If you know it’s a maze, you know roughly the way.”
[I’m sorry… .]
The phoenix rolled its eyes as if it were anxious, but there was no one to save it anywhere.
– Well done!
Lars waved his hand saying good job.
-You can’t let go of all-you-can-eat grilled chicken!
‘That’s not it.’
– What do you mean it’s not! Are you riding that guy?
‘yes?’
-Reviving infinitely?
‘That too… .’
-Then it’s all-you-can-eat grilled chicken, right?
‘… … .’
I was too lazy to explain it, so I just ignored it.
[I-I know the road roughly, but I need something to move quickly… .]
“It’s done. Follow me.”
[Piyaaaaaagh!]
Raon grabbed Kayyan’s neck and went down into the hole leading to the third floor.
… .
The people who were still on the second floor stood in a daze, unable to enter even though the hole had been opened.
“Aren’t you going down?”
“… There is no point in going.”
“therefore. There are humans who kidnap the phoenix that came out as a test, so why don’t we take anything!”
“I will give up.”
“me too. I’ll just stay here and go home… .”
The windmill was the only person who went down to the third floor from the lava room that day.
* * *
I’ve gotten used to the feeling of falling now. When I opened my eyes, feeling my body lose strength and then return, I saw brown sand all over the ground.
Raon raised his gaze and narrowed his eyes.
‘Is this a maze?’
A huge wall had been erected in front of my eyes, so I couldn’t see properly. The color of the walls were all gray, so it seemed difficult to locate them.
‘where… .’
Using Taehwabo, he lightly kicked the ground.
Whoa!
I tried to climb over the wall, but I couldn’t see or go beyond the wall, as if there was an invisible ceiling.
It seemed like it was blocking them from moving at all.
“I tried, but I can’t seem to get over the wall.”
Rimer also shook his head as if he couldn’t get out of the wall.
“It won’t break even with strong winds.”
Marta clicked her tongue as she retrieved the sword that had hit the wall.
“It doesn’t freeze.”
Runan also lowered his head in disappointment.
“How long will it take to get right here?”
Raon shook Kaiyan slightly.
[Even if I guide you, it will take more than half a day.]
“Half a day… .”
I don’t know exactly how much time has passed since I entered this place, but those who went first most likely passed through this maze.
It took a lot of time, so we had to get down as quickly as possible.
“Is there any way to go faster?”
[In the past, if the human put his hand on the wall and did something, the path to the end of the maze was opened. But I don’t know what it is… .]
“What are you doing… .”
Raon licked his lips and looked at the wall. On the surface, it was an ordinary wall that only blocked the road.
However, after hearing Kaiyan’s words, I had a sense of what to do.
Whoaaaaa!
Raon operated both the Ring of Fire and the Cartoonist at the same time.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was Sieghart’s flame, and he drew the barrier that his ancestors had shown on the wall while raising the flame in his hand.
Woo woo woo!
The flames that traveled like a waterway that collapsed a bank drew a clear barrier on the walls of the maze.
The completed barrier flashed in golden light, and opened a swirling passageway.
It was similar in shape to the hole through which you could go down to the next floor, but the color was different.
“It works.”
[Pump, pip!]
Kiyain fluttered his wings as if embarrassed, then sat down.
[That, that door! How to do this!]
Judging by his reaction, it seemed that the path to the end of the maze was correct.
“What, what is this!”
“Lord! What have you done!”
“Why, as soon as I came, the door opened… .”
Gwangpungdae also widened its eyes as if surprised by the sudden situation.
“Hey, can I come in here?”
Dorian swallowed dry saliva as if frightened.
“Other people may not know, but we deserve it.”
“What does that mean… .”
“I will explain later. Let’s go for now.”
Raon smiled lightly and entered the passage of flame first.
It didn’t fall like other passages, but it was a single path that could be reached on foot. Strangely, I felt warm for the first time since entering this tomb.
As I walked along the red line like the carpet of the throne room, I saw a passage of flame that looked like the entrance.
As I slowly came out of there, a huge wall rose up in front of me, and in the center I could see a hole leading to the fourth floor.
“It is simple.”
It was when Raon was smiling lightly and looking at the passage leading to the fourth floor.
A white hand protruded from behind the wall on the left. A woman with a young appearance that does not suit this place, with a creepy black frost, slipped closer.
after snowfall.
The leader of the Black Tower and the grand master, Mine, had reached the end of the maze.
“I don’t know why you’re here, but it’s great.”
After the snow monster, he drew a sharp smile and raised his transparent fingers.
“It was a pity that I couldn’t finish it outside.”
“I was sad too.”
“what?”
“Because I was only training my subordinates, my share was a little short.”
Raon silently pulled out the Celestial Sword. A golden light flashed in his red eyes.
“Even if it’s not all-you-can-eat, I want it to be an appetizer.”
