Kim Saje of the Great Labyrinth -4-
But what surprised me the most now was not the Inquisitor.
It was the knight commander who had collided with his body.
“Ugh!”
Swallow a groan.
A pungent liquid runs down my throat.
‘How could this happen!’
Looking at the concentration of the magic wave, it is clearly level 4.
But its destructive power was beyond imagination.
It feels like I’ve run into a high-ranking knight commander, not a common knight commander.
Every time a shield meets another shield, it feels like my whole body is being crushed and my eyes turn white.
Even though I was injured, my stomach hurt a little.
‘That’s ridiculous!’
Whether you scream inwardly or not, the monster before your eyes charges at you like a wild boar.
“Eeeeek!”
They charge at each other but are already pushed back by their momentum.
Even though the same shield strikes were flying towards each other, strangely, the opponent was striking harder and sharper.
“Come at me! Come at me!”
Sir Clement, with whom he had been in league for a long time, tries to provoke him, but to no avail.
The sacred message that worked even to the devil, the demons, and the heretics was strangely all going astray.
It was visible every time.
The monster in front of me is emitting strange light from its eyes.
It’s as if he’s reciting some kind of spell from within.
‘That’s right. That’s the order.’
That would be a very special order, too.
I must have received it from an evil spirit!
Light and savior?
That’s nonsense!
It is clear that that monster is an apostle of the evil god.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to display such destructive power, such terrifying force!
If it was level 6, I would have accepted it.
Even if it was only level 5, I would have somehow understood it.
But you’re showing this kind of ability at level 4?
It is clear that the saint was deceived.
The author is clearly empowered by the devil!
The Commander of the Knights, although of ordinary talent, was proud of the faith he had cherished throughout his life, but he ended up harboring doubts that he would never have had if he were in his right mind.
Because of the overwhelmingly overwhelming Kim Jeon Sa!
“Die! I said die!”
The commander of the knights who was under orders never to kill.
Even that fact was completely erased from my mind.
Jump in with all your might and swing your shield.
This is already the dozenth rush.
however…….
There was something that neither the Knight Commander nor the Inquisitor had thought of.
The shield that the monster swung was no ordinary object.
Aegis.
A representative treasure of the Gaia Church.
Even though it was a mass-produced product, the Aegis, an SSR grade weapon, was as different as heaven and earth from the shield used by the Knight Commander.
The results were truly catastrophic.
Damn it!
Unable to withstand the continued impact, it broke into dozens of pieces.
The Knight Commander glared.
In the cold gaze, a sharp murderous intent was blossoming.
Phew!
A halo that occurs with life.
Light drawn in a straight line.
The moment I saw the light, I sensed death.
I instinctively stretched out my left arm, but it failed to stop the light.
After reaching the long tail and piercing the heart.
‘beautiful…….’
A consciousness that gradually fades away.
My vision went black as I thought it was like seeing a shooting star in the night sky.
“Sir Frederick!”
“no!”
The knights who were watching shouted for their commander.
But there was no time to mourn.
Another knight commander shouted urgently.
“Protect the bishop!”

A monster that stole the heart of the Knight Commander.
Kim Jeon-sa was leaping towards the Inquisitor.
* * *
“Krrrrr!”
In conclusion, the knights were too late.
I leaped over the commander instead of charging, and struck the inquisitor with a fatal blow.
[Giant’s Power][Magic Soul][Slash]
[Tiger King’s Sword Technique][Sigurd’s Training Technique][Single Month]
Recoil from double power was ignored.
I put all my power into this blow.
Then, a lightning-like surge of sword energy cut through the Inquisitor in one breath.
An attack that could not be blocked by either a divine barrier or a magic shield.
The Inquisitor was cut from neck to chest, leaving blood gushing out.
“Bishop!”
If you have the elixir, you might be able to come back to life.
I split the head of the Inquisitor and decapitated him to make sure he was dead.
“Inom!”
The remaining knight commanders come running like madmen.
But it’s too late.
You can just ignore the Paladin who has no dash, no jump, no acceleration, and no speed.
Provocation?
I have both the Vajra and the Unbreakable. I can resist by just equipping the Vajra, and if I additionally equip the Unbreakable, I can completely ignore it.
Kuung!
I used the leap again to fly up.
He jumped almost several meters like a bird and passed the Knight Commander.
Instead, they targeted the knights.
Especially when viewed through [Insight], they were the weakest, with poor characteristics and equipment even among level 3 players.
“Shadow Knights, defend!”
“Defended!”
“Shadow Knights, defend!”
“Defended!”
The senior knights shouted in place of the dead inquisitor.
The knights move in unison, but they are clearly inadequate.
Because there is no [Command] or [Order] correction from the Inquisitor.
Now, my weakness was clearly visible to me.
One of the Shadow Knights moved half a beat late.
[Giant’s Power][Magic Soul][Sigurd’s Training Method]
[Actual fighting][Strike][Throw]
I was looking at it with insight and the moment I threw it, I changed the characteristics.
Urrrr, the sound of thunder rumbled.
A lightning bolt descending into the Great Labyrinth.
A white line flew right at the point I was aiming at, and a lightning storm swept through.
“Eww!”
“Wow!”
“Old father!”
Paladins have the strongest resistance and defense of all builds.
I couldn’t wipe them all out with just this one room.
But I was able to finish off just one person, just one person whose head was hit directly by the hammer.
After Mjolnir, it’s the Silent Sword’s turn.
He approached with a leap, dashed forward, and fired a flash of light.
It’s a real meteor sword.
Here, the follow-up attack was launched with a single blow, and the knights were cut down like scarecrows.
“Profit! Stop it! I said stop it!”
“Defend! Defend!”
“The Commander of the Knights is coming!”
Only a level 4 advanced knight could block my attacks.
But I persistently aimed only at level 3 paladins.
When the Knight Commander approaches, retreat and shoot the multi-shot gun and grenade launcher, and when he is able to shake them off, charge again and spray flashes and short moons.
Kwakwakwakwa.
Here, Kim Sa-je, who was freed from restraint, became even stronger when he placed the golden blessing.
All of my attacks were critical hits.
With the luck effect of the Golden Blessing also taking effect, the paladins fell apart uncontrollably.
It seemed like they would run away, but the knights rolled their eyes instead.
“Don’t back down!”
“Show me the majesty of your old father!”
“The great old father is watching over us!”
“Let’s go to the kingdom of God!”
This is truly fanatic behavior.
Not a single one ran away.
Everyone greeted death as if they were happy.
In particular, the Knight Commander said that he was glad to have my sword hit his heart.
“You are the light and savior revealed by the old father… … Cool, I will happily await the day when the soul of the savior comes to the kingdom of heaven and the day when I can make an offering to the old father.”
The Knight Commander smiled and lowered his head.
A bright and refreshing smile that is truly happy.
I got goosebumps.
As expected, you can’t get along with a fanatic.
As I shook my head, Priest Kim approached me with a tired look on his face.
“Brother. You’ve worked hard.”
“You’ve had a hard time too. It seems like you’ve put in some effort to receive the blessing.”
“I was just watching from behind, what the. By the way, hyung is amazing. You beat three level 5s and eight level 4s by yourself.”
“I haven’t been playing around all this time either.”
“No… Is this something that can be achieved with just a little effort?”
Father Kim waved his hands back and forth.
The tips of his fingers were shining gold.
“God said there was nothing around. Oh, and he even dismantled the barrier. I’m so thankful.”
“Thank goodness? What?”
“I don’t think the Inquisitor requested any assistance. There were no transmissions going out before or after the installation of the Hide and Seek barriers.”
“Can you even know that?”
“Because you are a god. Even though you are still weak, there are still many things you can do.”
God is God, so this is it.
I took a quick look at the corpses with my Insight trait and then turned my attention away.
I was just looking to see if there was any good magic weapon, but I didn’t have any use for it.
Perhaps the Inquisitor and the Knight Commander were of low rank.
Well, since Kim Sa-je’s sect is a shabby sect, the heresy inquisitor who clung to it must have been a shabby person as well.
Still, there was something to be gained.
[Destruction] trait.
What you obtained when you broke the shield earlier.
From now on, if there’s a difference, you can start by breaking the armor first.
“I’ll cash it out and send it to you.”
“Really? Thank you.”
“Hehe, can I charge you a little bit of commission?”
“Of course. Where in the world is there such a thing as a free lunch?”
“Thank you. But, hyung, those guys called you a savior earlier. What did they mean?”
“I don’t know. They’ve been calling me that for months.”
“Um… … Savior… … .”
I have an idea, but I can’t say for sure.
At this point, it’s a secret that the old Father’s Church is preparing for a revival.
It is enough that Kim Sa-je thought about the three letters, Savior.
Information will flow to the Thor Cult and Gaia Cult.
Those two would probably notice the old father’s sect’s goal.
I went down to the 10th floor past the field of corpses.
Then the ceiling opens up and a red sky appears.
A fairly deep part of the snail shell.
It is a place that appears to be above ground due to spatial distortion, even though it is clearly underground.
And on the 10th floor there was a very important stronghold.
The fortress of beginnings.
The vanguard of the conquest of the Great Labyrinth that extends up to 100 floors.
A place where completely different laws apply than on Earth.
A true labyrinthine city.
Two-story, low concrete buildings were huddled together like a herd of turtles.
“Your Highness!”
The priests gathered at the entrance were delighted to see Father Kim.
I am a priest, wearing flashy robes that seem to advertise.
It was all gold.
The unique symbol of the Kim Sa-je sect is drawn on the chest.
“Are you okay? The Inquisitor came down a few hours ago and was worried.”
“We ran into each other on our way here.”
“Oh! Are you feeling okay?”
“I guess you did a good job of shaking him off.”
“As expected of your patriarch! You are worthy of the son of hiding and running away!”
Son of Hide and Run?
You’ve got a strange nickname since we last met.
Father Kim smiled and shook his head.
“I didn’t ostracize them. My brother killed them all.”
“Huh?”
“You killed them all?”
“Go to the 9th floor corridor. There will be corpses strewn about.”
“What is that… … .”
“Uh… … You’re a level 4 warrior? You’re not even a level 6 warrior. How can you kill two paladins by yourself? There’s also a level 5 inquisitor with you.”
“You’ll know when you go. When you go.”
Eyes filled with distrust and suspicion pour in.
A natural reaction.
Even I can’t believe it.
If one level 4 person kills 43 superhumans on their own.
In fact, that level 4 is EX level, not SSR level.
After sending out the priests and guardians of the sect, only Saje Kim and I entered the temple.
What a tiny temple.
All they did was open up a two-story building and put in a gold-plated statue.
But it will be a meaningful temple for the Kim Sa-je religious order.
Because it is a temple that was built after 3,000 years.
“I am grateful to you in many ways, hyung.”
Priest Kim said while looking at the statue.
“I built this temple thanks to you, hyung. If you hadn’t taught me the Golden Sacrifice, I wouldn’t have become strong enough to receive the cooperation of the Gaia Church.”
“You worked hard.”
“No. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come this far. I would still be in Shillim-dong, pretending to be a qigong therapist.”
That’s right.
As I nodded silently, Priest Kim put his hand behind the statue and took something out.
“This is the most precious relic I got from the treasure vault in the Levant region. Actually, I was going to give you the ancient holy sword and ancient holy armor, but you have something better, so I will give you this instead.”
“The best one? Then shouldn’t you be the one to use it?”
“That was originally planned, but since you helped me out yesterday and today, I can’t just give you anything.”
“I used the holy sword and the divine statue you gave me before well… … Thank you. I will use them well.”
“I like you because you don’t act coy.”
“ha ha ha.”
I accepted the gift with a smile.
necklace.
A sacred object so ornate that it would likely attract dozens of thieves a day if it were to be taken out of one’s clothing, with dozens of jewels strung together with golden strings.
I know what it is.
In the game, it is an artifact that was excavated and taken by the old father’s sect.
[Heart of Abundance]
The ability is simple.
All abilities increased.
And [good luck].
Compared to Mjolnir or Aegis, it may be insignificant, but the Heart of Abundance is also an SSR-level equipment.
If you only look at the increasing ability points, it was at a level that was considered top notch even in Arcane Seoul.
Here luck could also be expected to bring small gains.
A sufficiently satisfactory reward.
I smiled happily, but it seemed that Father Kim felt it was not enough.
“I’m sorry. I need to give you a few more, but I have to exchange them for gold… … Brother, is there anything you need? I’ll do whatever I can to get what I can from the Great Labyrinth and send it to Korea.”
“Yes.”
“What is it? Just tell me!”
“If you can get one of the goat demon hearts, please give me one.”
The heart of the dragon of hell exists.
But I have to eat that when I reach level 6.
At level 5, the best ones are the Goat Demon or Rakshasa Heart, as recommended by the Guardians’ League Director.
“Uh… … I’ll check.”
I didn’t expect it.
Goat Demon is level 5.
It was a demon that was difficult to hunt, not only for Priest Kim himself but also for Priest Kim’s religious order.
But unexpectedly, Father Kim returned smiling brightly.
“Brother! Sell them at the auction house here! I’ll buy you one!”
Capitalism is the best after all.
I didn’t know it would be this easy to get.
“thanks.”
“Hey, thank you. You’ve done so much for me, hyung.”
By this time the priests and guardians had also returned.
Everyone was half out of their minds.
An expression as if one had seen a ghost.
I sat up, admiring that stupid face.
“Priest. See you later.”
“Huh? Are you leaving already? Why don’t you rest for a few days before you go?”
“I have something to do.”
It’s very important.
I’ve got enough nectar and the ingredients for the elixir.
If you just go home and eat it, you’ll reach level 5.
There is just one catch.
The fact that Kim Jeon Sa was born with a rank of N.
The growth limit for N-class characters is level 4.
That is, the first breakthrough was waiting for me.
