Episode 170: The Great Labyrinth -2-
“Huh? What do you mean?”
I didn’t do anything.
It’s just something that came flying in while I was training.
In the following words, I realized why he said that.
“Did you get a chance? Your temperament has completely changed. You were definitely a single person back then. But… … ”
Sharp eyes scan me up and down.
A gaze that seems to pierce even the soul.
The Blood King is also a level 8 transcendent.
Perhaps he is observing the magical circuits inside my body.
“You look like a fighter now, not a warrior. No, maybe you should say a veteran? How can this be?”
I know what you mean.
Last time we met, he was equipped with the Tiger Sword Technique trait.
Thanks to that, and also because he had the silent sword on his waist, he was able to refuse the offer to become his disciple.
now?
[Giant’s Power][Diamond Body][Immortal]
[Mars Sword Fighting][Thor’s Combat Technique][Real Fighting]
Mars Build.
Strictly speaking, it is closer to a traditional warrior build.
Later, when my magic power becomes enough to use Mars Sword Fighting without Thor’s Combat Technique, it would be a better choice to remove Thor’s Combat Technique and use Air Raid.
You could also add a sword expert, a shield expert, or even a weapon expert.
“There was a coincidence.”
“Oh, coincidence? But to me, it seems like it’s deviating from the orthodoxy. It’s gone down a very evil path.”
gibberish.
There are many warriors in Arcane Seoul, but the most common are orthodox warriors.
Is it called authentic for nothing?
When I laughed, the Blood King wiggled his eyebrows.
“Are you laughing?”
Then he slowly clenches his fist.
“Hey, let’s take a look at the skills of the prospective disciple.”
Gulp.
A strange resonance.
The fist is howling.
The red energy rises like blood.
It felt like my son-in-law was drowning in a river of blood.
I spoke to my disciples in a hurry.
“Get back as far as you can. Prepare your defenses!”
The place where I met the Blood King was on the deck of the Sky Ship.
As soon as we reduced the size of the ship to the size of a destroyer and anchored, the Blood King came looking for us.
Chae-Ang!
I pulled out my silent sword.
The clear and elegant sword naturally calms the mind.
Something I was prepared for from the beginning.
The three disciples of Cheonma are all like this.
If you put a level 5 or lower warrior-type superhuman in your squad and meet them, they will try to take you as their disciple, show off to level 6 or 7 ones, and force a duel if they see a level 8 one.
He aimed the Mukho Sword at the Blood King.
The smile on the Blood King’s lips deepened.
“Good!”
A blow that strikes down without hesitation.
Fists and strong energy fall from the sky.
It feels like the sky is falling.
It felt like a huge mountain was collapsing and coming down on me.
The air evaporates and it becomes difficult to breathe.
My knees were forced to bend, but I overcame it.
He gritted his teeth and swung his sword sensually.
Whew!
Burning sword!
A natural, follow-up blow!
There are no ears.
I didn’t even have a sixth sense equipped.
But Mars’ sword fighting method clearly showed where and how the sword of the war god should strike.
I stabbed him along the way.
He deployed dozens and hundreds of stabbings in a single day.
It shoots out as if countless light halos are overlapping.
It’s not just a simple repetitive stab.
It was like one giant piece.
A single monster of light created by connecting black energy and black energy, then covering and overlapping black energy again.
Damn it!

I couldn’t face it head on.
A level 8 transcendentalist’s book.
I had defeated both the clumsy level 7 old man and the mature level 7 slaughter empress, but there was a huge gap between the level 8 transcendent and the level 7 ultimate.
It’s like heaven and earth.
Even my full-force counterattacks were only able to push back the bloody destruction a little.
Kwaaaaang!
A strong wind struck right next to me.
The once sturdy deck, the hull that could crush even the memory giants, split apart and fragments scattered.
I gasped for breath as I felt the wooden shards embedded in my body.
Even though his whole body feels like it’s falling apart, the Blood King seems to be excited.
“Good!”
He claps his hands and then holds out his right index and middle fingers.
Could that be it?
“Try this too!”
A bloody ray shoots out.
An extremely precise and fast attack that will pierce my forehead the moment I recognize it.
Are you crazy, seriously!
Currently, I can’t stop it with my special ability.
This requires a warrior, especially a practical warrior!
[Giant’s Power][Magic Soul][Sword Spirit]
[Mars Sword Fighting][Thor’s Sword Fighting][Sword Expert]
Instantly swap 3 traits.
He swung his sword.
The silent sword rotates around.
A chillingly sharp sword energy swept away the blood-red rays.
Just before the eyebrows are pierced.
I managed to change direction with great difficulty.
“Whoa!”
“Mom!”
The wind flew towards my disciples, causing them to scream.
Fortunately, it seems no one was injured.
After I retrieved the Mukho Sword and took a breath, the Blood King looked at me with eyes like I had seen a ghost.
“Okay, you… … .”
How will the Blood King react?
It was shown on purpose.
I heard from the Pope of the Thor Church that the Heavenly Horse is the Supreme Being, that is, the Almighty.
“Huh, heh heh heh. I see. That’s what it was.”
The Blood King laughs in vain.
Then, he looks at me as if he’s going to eat me.
He came up to me with brisk strides, grabbed my hand, and shouted.
“You, you’re a genius!”
What is that?
“Are you a thousand-year-old?”
“What is it! It’s the strongest body! It can learn any martial arts, whether it’s true, true, or demonic, and it can contain any superpower, a body like the ocean!”
“Isn’t that a heavenly and infinite journey?”
“It’s completely different. The Heavenly Martial Arts Body is a talent limited to martial arts. Although the speed at which it learns martial arts is more than 10 times that of an ordinary person, it doesn’t have any other superpowers besides martial arts.”
The Blood King looked at me with greedy eyes.
The eyes of a predator watching its prey.
I instinctively tried to shake his hand away, but I couldn’t.
A grip of steel was squeezing my hand.
“This is not the time! Let’s go to Shimandaesan right now! Let’s go see Master!”
“Your Majesty?”
“Yes! Now that I think about it, you were someone who couldn’t fill my vessel. You were meant to be my disciple! Hehe, the Heavenly Demon! After the first Heavenly Demon, and after my master, you are the third! Go and pay your respects immediately and become my disciple! When my master sees you, he will immediately accept you as his disciple!”
It’s nice to hear that.
It’s the Heavenly Demon God. The Heavenly Demon God.
It is an attacker, a defender, a mover, and a magic power training method.
The best and strongest trait in name and reality.
Everyone who was listening was shocked.
He looks at me, blinking.
Baek So-rin nodded hurriedly while looking at me, and the other disciples were also looking at me with surprised eyes telling me to quickly accept.
But I shook my head slowly.
“I am very honored and grateful, but even if I go to Sipmandaesan, will I be able to see Cheonma-nim?”
“Huh? What does that mean?”
“You said that last time. The Heavenly Demon Lord might have ascended to the Uhwadengseon.”
“Well… … .”
It’s a trap card.
If you complete the personal quests of the three disciples of Cheonma in the game, an event to go to Sipmandaesan will appear at the end.
Perfect fishing.
The three disciples rejoin the squad after spending a year in game time to see their master.
In the end, I wasted my time without seeing the Heavenly Horse.
It’s probably the same here.
In games, there are ways to force time to pass, but in this world, that’s impossible.
In the span of a year, Episode 2 will pass and Episode 3 will start as soon as I return.
Then it’s over.
“I have work to do and people to take responsibility for.”
“Huh, so you’re saying you’re going to refuse?”
“That’s not possible. If Heavenly Demon calls, I will put everything aside and go see you. But I can’t go to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and wait there forever, right? Even the Blood King said it’s been a long time since he last saw Heavenly Demon.”
“Ugh.”
The Blood King doesn’t seem to like it.
Makes a sound like boiling phlegm.
What can I do?
A thirsty person should dig a well.
There are three great sword techniques that can replace the Heavenly Demon Art for me, but the Blood King has no one who can replace me unless he becomes the Heavenly Demon himself.
If you want to go higher, if you want to get a taste of the Heavenly Demonic Art, there is no other way than to introduce me as the youngest disciple.
Finally, the Blood King nodded.
“Good. But keep in mind. If you violate Master’s command, I will never let you live!”
“If I could see even the shadow of the Heavenly Demon, it would be an honor for me in three lifetimes. If the Heavenly Demon calls, I will put aside everything and run to him. I swear it.”
“Of course it should be like that.”
When I gave him a definitive answer, the Blood King seemed half-dissatisfied, but also half-convinced.
“By the way, what is it you want me to ask you?”
Now it seems like I’ve finally remembered my original purpose.
Anyway, he has a short temper.
If things were as they were, you would have seen it in your own office, but why did you come all the way to Sky Boat?
“I want to use the back railroad.”
“The back of the railroad? Hmm, that would be fine for you.”
Back railroad.
It is a passage connecting the depths of the Great Labyrinth and the labyrinth city of Aachen.
The Great Labyrinth is basically a giant forbidden zone and a sub-dimension.
The outside and inside are completely separated.
Since the radio waves don’t work, you have to wait for the data courier schedule to communicate with the starting fortress on the 10th floor, the fortress below it, or the forward base.
But when you’re desperate, you get what you pay for.
There was a passage that the Guardians’ League used only in urgent cases.
That’s the back of the railroad.
This is a passage made by patching together the sub-dimensions and the other dimensions, and if you use it, you can quickly reach the 10th floor starting fortress, the 20th floor guardian castle, or the 50th floor cannon base.
That’s because it’s dangerous.
“Do as you wish. Any regular Guardian has the right to use the back railroad. But you know what’s on the back railroad?”
“sure.”
“Do as you wish. If you get eaten by mere dimensional insects, then I must have misjudged you. Don’t forget that your life is in the tens of thousands of mountains.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
He folded the sky boat carefully and put it in his pocket.
As we move towards the back of the railroad, the disciples look at us with faces that seem to have a lot to say.
In cases like this, Baek So-rin would never tolerate it.
After getting far enough away from the Blood King, he suddenly poked his head in.
“Teacher! What is that sound? A celestial demon? Teacher, was it a celestial demon?”
Why does it go that far?
Laughter came out naturally.
“I guess Cheonma and I have the same constitution. They even talk about that in the Thor Church.”
“Huh? The Church of Thor?”
“Yeah. I heard the Pope saw the Heavenly Horse there. He said it was the same case as mine.”
The Almighty. The Almighty. The Heavenly Demon Body.
It seems that the names are different for each region and each group.
There is something a little bit bothering me.
‘In the Thor Church, they say you follow the soul, but why is it the body here?’
Is it because it’s a warrior group?
No, it isn’t.
It’s because the Cheonmasingyo cult is made up of warrior-type superhumans, but it was originally a religious group.
“There must have been a reason why you became strong so quickly, teacher.”
“Teacher, aren’t you going to become a heavenly horse later?”
“You can’t pretend not to know us just because you’re a genius!”
“Stop drinking kimchi stew.”
“But teacher, shouldn’t you have gone to Sipmandaesan first?”
“No. If you’re not really going to be my disciple, why bother going there? The Blood King may want to accept me as his youngest disciple, but Shingun and Mahou won’t.”
This is especially true for the new army.
If I am recognized as the Heavenly Demon Body and inherit the Heavenly Demon Sect, it is only a matter of time before I become the leader of the cult.
The new army is like a dog chasing a chicken.
Of course I’ll try to clean it up.
Me, in this world.
‘I have to be careful.’
What happened today will soon reach the ears of the new army.
We need to get stronger quickly before the check comes in.
Wouldn’t it have been better to handle this quietly?
no.
Instead of making an enemy called Shin-gun, I was given the possibility of becoming a disciple of Cheonma.
As such, my fame grows and my weight class increases.
Now is the time to bulk up as much as possible.
Since there was an enemy called the old father’s sect anyway, it was a risk worth taking.
As we were talking, we arrived at the back of the railroad.
It was a three-dimensional railway.
While a normal railway is laid on the ground in an 11-shape, a back-track railway runs with tracks laid at the corners of a square.
The train is a capsule type that spins around.
No, it’s wrong to say capsule.
It’s more like an amusement ride.
Completely exposed, with no lid or anything, just a seat belt.
The stationmaster warned us.
“Be careful. It takes three hours to get to the 50th floor cannon base. You must fend off the dimensional insects’ attacks during that time.”
“Yes. Don’t worry.”
“Well, the president may become a priest… … Then, let’s go.”
Rattling.
The back of the train departs.
I passed through the blue dimensional gate and entered the back passage.
“oh!”
“Wow!”
It was truly a strange world.
The gears turned everywhere.
Images of the industrial age flashed past us, scenes of princes and dukes waging war floated by like bubbles, and bizarre monsters, sublime dragons, gods and demons, beautiful fairies, and horrifying hells passed by us.
So it was a back passage and a back railroad.
A thin and unstable gap that arbitrarily connects worlds and eras.
“Be careful. It’ll be out soon.”
“yes!”
Everyone drew their swords.
Almost simultaneously, a frothy beam of light shot forth from ahead.
Jooaang!
A ray of light.
I deployed Aegis to its full potential and struck out.
Wow!
A gentle vibration spreads throughout the body.
It has considerable destructive power.
If it’s Nana, then stop it. Even if it’s Baek So-rin, it’ll be hard to stop it.
“Ugh!”
Sure enough, a suppressed groan erupted from behind.
Can’t do it.
I cut the seat belt with my knife and ran out.
“teacher!”
“are you okay!”
Because I have ears, a sixth sense, and a great sense of humor.
In an emergency situation, you can use the Golden God to triple jump.
I traveled the train almost in all directions.
Ignoring the sight that was mind-boggling just to look at, I struck back with my shield again and again.
[Geeeek!]
[Grooooosh!]
The dimensional creatures let out strange cries.
Monsters with caterpillar bodies, plant root-like antennae, and bat wings.
Opens its mouth and fires a beam of light.
It’s an attack that hits the mind, body, and magical circuits all at once, but it’s okay.
Since the Diamond Body and Star Spawn reduce damage by half, you can just restore it to immortality.
I didn’t use black.
I deliberately used only a shield.
Even though he used shield magic and shield blocking, he didn’t bounce or deflect the attack.
You can block it with your sword or deflect it, but then you lose.
I knew that this section had a very easy to obtain trait.
“The numbers are increasing!”
“They’re chasing us!”
Dimensional blocks that pile up one after another.
The long-awaited signal rang just in time.
Woohoo.
Aegis vibrated and burst into clear cries.
He immediately raised his Aegis and aimed at one of the Dimensional Bugs.
The beam injects magical power at the same time it hits.
Bounce.
With the feeling of striking with a sword.
Woof!
Then the light reflects and flies towards the dimensional bug.
Rainbow flames rose and the dimensional worms turned to dust.
[Keeeek!]
[Magic Reflection] trait.
Now, only one shockwave remains for the shield expert.
“and!”
“It looks great!”
“Teacher! How many should I catch?”
“Huh? Absolutely not! If you leave the train, you’ll fall into a dimensional rift. Never leave!”
Carly said something dangerous without knowing it.
Even if shadow movement is a scam, it won’t work.
After that, he continued swinging the Aegis while moving between train cars.
One dimensional bug at a time with magic reflection.
In the game, it was almost like a mini game.
If you have a warrior with magic reflection, it’s easy, but if you try to counter it with a wizard or priest, it’s incredibly difficult.
Anyway, it was easy to get there.
Arrived at the cannon base after 3 hours.
After a good night’s rest, we left the base.
I found it after going down the Great Labyrinth for about an hour.
A giant that is 10 meters tall.
An angel with withered wings and an ugly face.
A being holding the sword of the Nephilim.
Level 7 raid boss.
The woman.
