Episode 169: The Great Labyrinth -1-
A flash of light split the space.
The incandescent energy breaks people down.
“Ugh!”
“Hey, save me!”
“no!”
Screaming humans.
But the eyes of the one who lit the fire before them are merciless.
He was holding a holy sword in his hand and killing them one by one while burning pure white energy.
“Profit! Die!”
“Kill that bitch! Kill her!”
“Wrath of fire!”
Flames are flying.
The fireworks are fired in a chain.
But it doesn’t lead to any actual damage.
A raised shield.
They were all blocked by a magic shield imbued with fire resistance.
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
Finally the last one.
In front of an old man in robes who says, “I am a wizard.”
The one who killed the wizards distorted his face.
“Kim Jin-seok, the top owner.”
When his name was called coldly, the wizard cried out with tears in his eyes.
“Why, why are you doing this! What crime have we committed!”
“Don’t you know me?”
“I don’t know! How would I know you!”
The one who was spraying the spirit took off his helmet.
Then the face is revealed.
He is so young that he is almost immature.
An age that makes him look like he’s in middle school at most.
The face is typical of Western Europeans.
Her hair is blond, her eyes are sunken, and her pupils are blue.
Neither a man nor a woman.
The wizard’s eyes trembled as he finally realized the identity.
“W-Wow, Janet?”
“joy.”
Janet swung her sword in a long stroke.
As if even mixing words was disgusting.
The throat is cut and the head rises with blood.
Janet and I both took a few steps back.
Because I didn’t want to get blood on me.
“Janet… … .”
“are you okay?”
Baek So-rin and Carly hugged Janet.
“Ugh!”
Janet finally bursts into tears.
Seo Woo-jin looks at Janet with awkward eyes.
Because I don’t know.
What happened between Janet and this tower, Ilyang Tower.
A past where I was unilaterally kidnapped, subjected to biological experiments, and lost my parents while trying to escape.
“Let’s go down.”
All of the magicians in the Magic Tower were annihilated.
To this extent, he is a nobleman.
There are quite a few employees in the Magic Tower other than the wizards, but in the game, Janet killed them all while spewing all sorts of bad language.
“We’ve waited and seen since the Mukho Sword Lord has guaranteed it, but if they turn out to be innocent, a formal trial will be held.”
A few superhumans came up to me and warned me.
The privilege of sanctions naturally applies to Janet as well.
You can just submit the evidence later.
But I wanted to make sure that Janet was properly avenged, so I brought in investigators from the police department to do a simultaneous report, not an after-the-fact report.
“That won’t happen.”
I started the elevator.
Using the eyeballs and fingers of the magic tower.
Usually, magic towers use the highest level of security, that is, up to magic patterns, but Il-yang Magic Tower is a shabby magic tower, so they only use biometric security and that’s it.
Ding!
The elevator reached the 9th basement floor.
The door opens and hell unfolds.
“Ouch!”

“Whoooosh!”
Seo Woo-jin felt nauseous.
Kali was similar.
Among the investigators who had been through all kinds of hardships and battles in the air, Baek So-rin, the Thousand-Sal-Seong, and Janet, who had already been through this hell, were the only ones with sparkling eyes.
Glass towers rising like trees everywhere.
There are people in it.
Grotesquely deformed.
A woman without skin.
A child whose brain is larger than his body.
A man with ten octopus tentacles instead of arms and legs.
An old man with a bird’s beak and reptilian scales.
A person whose stomach is wide open and whose internal organs are exposed.
A person who periodically spits and absorbs blood.
A spectacle that clearly exposes human malice and greed.
The field of magical science experiments was laughing at us.
“Those crazy guys… … .”
One of the investigators gritted his teeth.
“Janet is a born psychic who was once experimented on here.”
“Are you talking about me?”
“Yes. Let me check the research log. It should be recorded there.”
It was a really classic item in the game.
Is it the same here?
The investigators all scattered and searched through the computers.
Some people held up their smartphones and called for support.
After seeing them once, I fixed my gaze on the corner closet of the bio lab.
A closet that was also placed in the game.
‘That’s it.’
I opened the closet.
Crunch.
No, I broke it.
It was magically sealed.
It’s a low-grade seal, so if you shoot it once with a shotgun, it will shatter and reveal its insides.
Inside were several thick notebooks.
[Hemolysis Experiment Diary]
[Demon Hybrid Observation Journal]
and…….
[Nephilim]
Found it.
Nephilim are a hybrid of humans and angels.
So does that mean Janet is of angelic blood? No.
Innate talent is, after all, a product of chance.
However, to master the Nephilim sword, you need innate strength.
I opened the journal and looked through it.
[100% human bloodline]
I see this part.
[50th floor of the Great Labyrinth. There exists a giant gatekeeper. He is a fallen angel with the body of a giant, an ugly face, and the wings of an angel. He is called the last of the Nephilim. He creates a strange sword of light and crushes his enemies. His true name is [Anak]. He is immortal and will come back to life even if he is killed… … ]
After reading this, I closed the journal.
The real name was important.
Because to extract the Nephilim Sword from the fallen angel’s corpse, you need to know its true name.
That’s why I insist on doing the individual quests in order.
If the true name wasn’t randomly generated, you could just go to the Great Labyrinth and defeat the Fallen Angel.
“What is that?”
“This is a bio-experiment log. It seems like they only left out the important parts.”
“her…….”
“No, what kind of paper journal is this in the 21st century?”
“Those wizards are a bit crazy to begin with.”
“That’s true.”
“Take care of it. I’ll submit it as evidence.”
“Your Majesty the Mukho Sword Master, you have worked hard. How about taking something with you?”
“Well, it’s a shabby tower, so there’s nothing I want.”
“Hahaha. It looks like that.”
Ilyang Matap was truly empty.
Even if I looked closely, there wasn’t a single treasure trove.
Considering that the gold and jewels from the secret compartment of the terrorist league combined amount to over 100 billion, there really is no such thing as a bunch of beggars.
“Whew!”
Janet is seen spitting phlegm in the corner.
“Will that be enough? Try following along. Kaaaak, hoot!”
“Kaaaah, hoot!”
“Good job.”
Baek So-rin now teaches Janet, who is older than her, how to spit.
You really teach us all sorts of things.
As I turned my head, pretending not to see, Seo Woo-jin approached me with a pale face.
“Teacher… …What is all this?”
“What the heck? They’re just trash.”
“I didn’t know there was a place like this in Seoul… … .”
“It’s not Seoul, it’s Gwacheon. It’s right in front of us. And there was a terrorist group hiding in Daerim-dong, so it’s not strange that there’s a criminal group like this in Gwacheon.”
“What is Gwacheon City doing?”
“What did you do? You had a great time taking bribes.”
Is that only Gwacheon?
There are a lot of people like this in this world.
A mercenary group that commits human trafficking by pretending to be a legitimate security company.
A company that grinds up human bodies to make prosthetics and medicine.
A dark tower that conducts biological experiments.
A pseudo-religious group that carries out human sacrifices in the shadows.
If I were the embodiment of justice, I wouldn’t have been able to level up because I was fighting these guys.
If you look for it, you can find it.
Even in the case of the highest security, quite a few illegal activities are being committed behind the scenes.
Because it has a history and tradition, it just doesn’t go toward serious human rights violations.
“This is too much… … .”
Seo Woo-jin looks around with a blank expression.
Then, as if he couldn’t bear to look, he closed his eyes tightly.
Was it too stimulating for a rich young master?
He led his disciples out of the pagoda.
Police cars and riot police were arriving in droves.
Brrrr.
Janet clenches her fists and glares at the tower.
An expression that said he wanted to destroy the magic tower as well as kill the wizards.
I gave Janet a moderate amount of advice.
“Ilyang Tower will be stuffed forever.”
“I want to kill them all.”
“It will serve as a warning to the other magic towers. They will hesitate a little before conducting a biological experiment.”
“That doesn’t mean we’ll stop altogether.”
“Yes. You are right. In order to completely stop the Magic Towers’ biological experiments, we need the power to stop them single-handedly.”
Whoa, Janet clenched her fist.
“I want to become stronger.”
“That’s right.”
“Can I become strong enough to stop all biological experiments in this world?”
“possible.”
“Really?”
“Okay. Once you reach level 9, that’s it.”
Level 9!
Seo Woo-jin looks at me and Janet with a tired face.
But Janet was surprisingly calm.
“If necessary, I can.”
“I’ll help you.”
It’s not an easy task.
Up to level 8, you can somehow get there using only Nogada, Nectar, Ambrosia, and Diamond.
Level 9 is different.
A piece of divinity was absolutely necessary.
It will overflow later, but the supply sources are extremely limited. I can’t even guarantee that it will be available on time.
‘You need to reach level 9 before episode 3.’
If the Seoul terrorist attack had happened a few years earlier, Episode 2 and Episode 3 would have been similar.
It will come at a speed beyond imagination.
You have to prepare before that.
December 24th, I don’t want to get hit with the next episode defenseless like the eve of the Shinmyoje Festival.
“Let’s go to Germany first.”
“Germany?”
“Yes. The way for you to become stronger is in the Great Labyrinth.”
The Great Labyrinth… … .
Although the words were sudden, Janet was not shaken.
He nods his head silently.
“I will do that.”
“Oh, teacher! Me too!”
“I’ll go too!”
“Yeah. I’ll go too.”
Are you saying the other three are coming too?
It was a little awkward.
“There’s no room… … If you go to Red Cougar, only me and one other person can go.”
“You’re going too far! I want to go to the Great Labyrinth too!”
“You have to go to the Great Labyrinth at least once in your life!”
“Woojin, you’re busy.”
“You can take a vacation. I’m sure your father and mother will allow it.”
Everyone had a look on their face saying they would definitely follow.
Should I just buy a plane ticket?
There’s no rule that says you have to go with the Red Cougar.
‘No.’
You just have to go a little slower.
You can get there in twelve hours by Red Cougar or plane, but there are ways to get there by training instead of going slowly.
I put my hands in my pockets.
Take out the piece of wood you have in your hand and unfold it.
Thud, thud.
The piece of wood unfolded and unfolded, forming a boat.
From skiffs to small sailboats, to large galleons, and soon to aircraft carrier-sized ships, they rose into the sky.
“Hey!”
“What, what is this?”
“It’s huge!”
“S, Skidbladnir!”
Seo Woo Jin is definitely sophisticated.
I took out my smartphone and tapped it.
Without even needing to give a voice command, the red cougar that was nearby flew away.
Enter through the bridge which opens by reacting from a distance, then lower the magic ladder.
No, it’s more like a rainbow bridge than a ladder, a miniature Bifrost and a passage of light.
“Let’s go in.”
“Wow.”
“That’s totally cool… … .”
Everyone enters the sky ship through the passage of light.
The interior remains unchanged.
Bringing in furniture and remodeling it with magical engineering would make it a completely comfortable, mobile base, but I wish I had the time.
Still, the bridge of the mythical ship is certainly impressive.
All four of them looked around the bridge, excited like children.
“I’ll take this. It’s slow. It’ll take a week to get to Aachen, so take that into account.”
“It doesn’t matter!”
“Isn’t that better?”
“I’m excited!”
“I guess I’ll be able to train a lot.”
The deck is as spacious as a sports field.
Kali ran out, her shadow flickering as she went all the way, and then came back in an instant.
Janet, with her natural instincts, is looking around the corner of the bridge.
Crackle! Crackle!
The bridge walls held up surprisingly well.
As I experienced last time, it was quite durable.
If you attack it properly, it will split right away.
Baek So-rin and Seo Woo-jin also returned after exploring the ship for a while.
“This really looks like an aircraft carrier. With just a little modification, it could be usable.”
“Really? Do you want to try?”
“Me?”
“Yeah. If you ask Director Choi for the necessary materials or equipment, he’ll get it for you. He’s a capable person.”
In the game, Seo Woo-jin led a personal guard called the First Corps.
The first corps naturally had a stronghold.
That too is a land-based mobile base.
The sight of a giant land battleship advancing, pushing aside forests, rivers, and cities, was truly terrifying.
If it’s Seo Woo Jin, he’ll decorate my sky boat in a modern and cool way.
“Okay! I’ll do it!”
Seo Woo-jin’s eyes sparkled.
Like a little boy with a new toy in his hands.
Guuung.
The sky ship slowly moved toward the west.
Below, police officers can be seen pointing at the Sky Boat.
It’s not just the police.
Citizens passing by also look up at the sky boat with their mouths wide open.
The traffic light is green, but the cars are slowing down.
He even sticks his head out the window and looks at us.
The flying cars that are occasionally seen loitering around the Skyship.
Traffic was paralyzed to the point of being paralyzed.
“Let’s go up.”
[Yes, master.]
Above the clouds.
Only after rising above the stratosphere did my gaze turn away.
Instead, chaos broke out in the air defense network.
Countless communications were flying in, communicating with magical spirits.
This is something I can ignore.
The magic spirit will take care of it.
“Wow, wow. This is really cool.”
The horizon where the sun is setting.
The sun setting through the clouds created a fantastic atmosphere.
But I didn’t burn it to see things like this.
I called my disciples up to the deck.
10,000 meters in altitude.
The temperature is extremely low, minus 40 degrees Celsius.
But the lowest level Kali is also level 4.
I could bear it well enough.
Buck! Buck!
There was a lot to teach.
There is also a lot to learn in reverse.
The focus is on the unification of the two swords.
My new goal was to inherit the Shingeomhapil, which was also Seo Woojin’s starting trait.
Sword expert, swordsmanship, flash, short moon.
In addition to this, the sword and the divine sword are united.
Because when these six are gathered, you can combine them to form the Master of the Sword.
In fact, Jincheon Geomrye can be added, but that is a characteristic included in Jecheon Mugeuk Geombeop, not a characteristic included in Mukho Mujeok Geombeop.
‘Let’s do it within level 6.’
Level 6 Sword Master!
It is necessary, even for the Nephilim’s sword.
Once you become a sword master and acquire the Nephilim sword, you will be able to easily cut down level 7 enemies.
“Teacher! Look over there!”
“It’s so pretty!”
The journey was okay.
It felt like I was on a sky cruise.
While practicing and taking classes, if we came across a place with a nice view, we would lower our altitude to look around, and if we came across a famous tourist attraction, we would stop by for a quick bite to eat.
Although the flight time increased, a clear clue to the new sword union was found.
Just a little more and it will be enough to copy into a diamond.
“Teacher, you are really fast.”
“Thank you. You are doing well too.”
Seo Woo-jin was similar.
[First Sword][New Sword Unification][Sword Expert][Magic Heart]
Two new magic circuits have been added to these four unique characteristics.
[Attack] and [Movement].
It is complete when you upgrade Magic Heart to Magic Soul, Bold Attack to One Thousand Strikes, Mobility to Ihyeonghwanwi, and Sword Expert and New Sword Union to Sword Master.
The perfect ultra-damaging warrior build.
If you put a self-defense weapon in an empty space, the balance will be ruined.
‘This kid is a genius, he’s a genius.’
During our time we crossed the Eurasian continent and arrived in Aachen.
Aachen, the labyrinthine city that I visited after several months.
The youngest disciple of Cheonma, the Blood King, was shocked when he saw me.
“Hey, what the hell have you been doing?”
