Episode 385 Spring of the Sun (5)
It looks really strange.
One arm looks like a shield. The other arm was surrounded by spear-like monsters.
There are only three in number, but they all look unusual.
Moreover, a new presence was felt from afar.
This means that if time passes, the number of enemies will increase.
“……What are these?”
Cheon Yu-seong took a step back, holding Ryu-hwa tightly.
It is not simply a matter of being strong or weak.
The eerie feeling of discomfort clinging to my nerves was so scary that it didn’t give me goosebumps.
‘Is this because it’s the first test?’
The eagle owl won’t help.
It couldn’t have been done in the first place because it would have been tied to the restrictions of the system.
In the end, it is up to the two of them to overcome this situation.
The ‘Eyes of Gluttony’ peered through the target.
[Regulus – variant species]
Level: 85 / ? – Existing/currently unavailable for confirmation.
Risk Difficulty: Not measurable
Special Features: Basically, it has high physical defense and magic defense. However, the exact details cannot be determined due to the undefined energy.
I expected it.
I guess it’s going to be something different from the ones in the existing labyrinth.
“Yes. I’ll have to taste it to see how much it is.”
Indeed, how powerful are the things he has prepared? Why are operators, including the Great Horned Owl, so worried?
… … Now is the time to check.
Jinhyuk stretched Barnard forward.
Pachitsu!
A dark red river surged.
“Take care of them one by one. They are not easy.”
“If you do that, there is no end. Didn’t you say you only have four days to find the water from the Spring of the Sun or something?”
“That’s true, but….”
“I’ll take my time, so you secure the entrance way inside. These guys can survive on their own.”
“Hey! Wait….”
“Goes!”
Cheon Yu-seong stormed out of his seat without even hearing an answer.
One sword.
The blue light flowing horizontally became a torrent.
but,
Kwaaaaang!
Regulus threw the sword away from the front.
Although the herb was mixed 7 times, the real thing was accurately distinguished.
“Pretty good.”
Cheon Yu-seong performed the first attack of ‘Chuhon Sword’.
The gentle yet subversive swordsmanship continued again.
This time, it is not a hoax, but everything you see is real and real.
Dozens or hundreds of sword paths were scattered around in a dizzying manner.
Kakakakak!
“Keeeeee!”
Although he covered himself with a huge shield, Cheonyuseong’s Ryu Hwa persistently dug into the gap.
In an instant, the whole body turned into blood.
Cheon Yu-seong grabbed Regulus’ back to take his last breath.
It was a sneak attack at a perfect blind spot, eliminating even the presence of a presence.
Boom!
The moment the sword points towards the nape of the neck.
Regulus’ spear disappeared like lightning.
counter.
It is a precise stab as if measured with a ruler.
The spear that rushed in at one point penetrated the space before the self-defense technique was fully activated.
Puff!
With an eerie crashing sound, Cheon Yu-seong rolled over while clutching his shoulders.
“Ugh! Is there a bunch of crap like this starting from the entrance to the f*cking labyrinth? Why do I always come here with you…?”
“I told you not to let your guard down like that.”
This guy was very calm and serious at first.
I don’t know how this happened.
‘If you hadn’t gone with me, you would have been praised as the strongest wherever you went.’
Thinking about that makes me feel a little sad.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay to have a wound like this. If only I hadn’t let my guard down…”
It’s okay, shit.

A hole in the shoulder is a serious injury that makes it impossible to continue fighting.
Well, thanks to that, I was able to see in advance what I needed to be careful about.
“Just drink the recovery potion and rest quietly.”
This time Jinhyuk moved.
Fast and light.
Tuk.
Jinhyuk, who went into the wrong beat, swung Barnard.
As expected, this time too, Regulus received minor attacks with his shield and looked for the right time to counter.
“Koooooo!”
Is this what it means to suffer without knowing?
Although he didn’t blink once, the spear was already reaching Jinhyeok’s heart.
If another top ranker had been hit by this attack, he would have been paralyzed.
however,
The person here now is not just some ranker.
Kaaaang!
Offset.
The tip of the spear, driven in a straight line, collided with the tip of Barnard’s sword at one point.
Quad Deuk!
A crack appeared on the blade of the spear like a turtle shell. As if to tell which side’s magical power is overwhelmingly superior.
“Koh?”
“Counters are not a big deal as long as you can read the timing.”
No matter how fast and fierce it is, there is no reason to be afraid as long as its orbit and speed have been detected.
Sigh!
Barnard pierced Regulus’ neck.
Red blood gushed out like a fountain.
however.
“Koooooo!”
Even though he was hit hard, Regulus did not collapse.
Its red eyes seemed to flash, and it began to run wild even more fiercely.
Three at the same time. They all turned into Berserker status and attacked Jinhyuk.
‘If you hurt one animal, it becomes a trigger and all become stronger?’
bang! Quang!
The window shattered the entire wall behind Jinhyeok’s back.
It is a blow that makes people call it ignorant.
Sigh!
Suddenly!
Barnard cut Regulus’ body again, but it still had no effect.
Whether it pierces the heart or pierces the throat.
Because they were like zombies who continued to attack as if they had never been like that before.
Jinhyuk’s pulse was beating rapidly.
How long has it been since I felt this feeling?
What about this tension and excitement of having to find a strategy against pesky enemies?
‘There must be some kind of breakthrough… … .’
Jinhyuk carefully watched the opponent’s movements.
Right then.
Something caught my senses.
A faintly connected red thread.
Not only was it invisible to the naked eye, but you had to be extremely focused to barely notice it.
In fact, the thread was definitely connected between the three.
Was it something like that?
Those three share one magical power and have a symbiotic relationship.
This means that this endless battle can only be ended by cutting down all of them at the same time, rather than cutting them down one by one.
Of course, knowing the strategy did not mean everything was solved.
It was not that easy to cut down the passers-by at the same time while maintaining perfect spacing between each other.
but.
There was still no trace of tension on Jinhyuk’s face.
… … Stronger than this.
We have faced heavier and more outrageous enemies.
At least this much… … .
‘Heavenly Demon Divine Gong (天魔神功)’.
A goosebump-inducing magical power surged.
One of the absolutes that even the upper-class beings could not dare to mess with.
The Dokmun martial arts of the Cheonma, known as the disaster of the Ten Thousand Demons, was performed.
Kukukukukukuku!
Even though he was not wearing the ‘Crown of the Blade’, his magical power of over 400 allowed him to embody the Heavenly Demon God’s season without any filtering.
“Let’s see if we can survive this time.”
‘Yeongjong(令終), Nameless One Sum(無名一殲)’.
Three misaligned lines crossed the diagonal line.
No need for any rhetoric.
A sword just for cutting.
Suddenly!
The three Regulus were slowly divided in half while still in armor.
Coo!
The severed upper and lower bodies collapsed in different directions.
“Whew.”
Jinhyuk sighed softly.
and.
Cheon Yu-seong, who was watching the entire battle from beginning to end, bit his lip with complicated feelings.
The hand holding Ryuhwa also trembled slightly.
The realm of heaven and earth.
There are three that are stronger than most named monsters… … .
I never thought it would be destroyed so quickly.
A sense of self-destruction welled up as he thought about how he was struggling against just one animal.
‘How far do you really plan on growing?’
When I received the new recruit symbolizing martial arts from Chuhon Sa-yeong, my confidence skyrocketed.
Bone-breaking training and mistake-free growth based on past memories. In addition to a good teacher and a weapon that prides itself on being the strongest.
Now I’m convinced that it’s worth a try… … .
The result is always like this.
Like chasing a mirage that cannot be reached, chasing a shadow and arriving there only to find yourself suffering from eternal thirst.
I couldn’t even imagine when this damn Möbius strip would break.
Right then.
Jinhyeok brushed off the blood from the knife and approached.
“Why are you sitting there with such a sullen expression? I told you to drink every last potion first?”
“……It’s nothing special.”
Cheon Yu-seong suddenly turned his head.
The car is so strong that a cold wind blows.
If her cheeks were just a little puffier, she would look like a pouting elementary school student.
“But thanks to you coming forward and dealing a blow to them, things went smoothly.”
“My attack… worked?”
“Didn’t you know even though you were watching? After being attacked by the sword, loopholes were revealed here and there?”
“As expected… it was like that. I thought I won too easily. Hehe. It wasn’t that I was weak. Maybe I did my best.”
The corners of Cheon Yu-seong’s mouth twitched subtly.
With this, I succeeded in lightening the mood of one upset little boy.
＊＊＊
A night in the labyrinth.
The first day’s raid ended here.
The intention was to take a more cautious approach due to the fact that Cheon Yu-seong’s wounds were deeper than expected and a new variable had arisen.
Jinhyuk and the eagle owl sat facing each other in front of the bonfire.
Jinhyuk, who was cooking iron armor shrimp, began to speak.
“It’s been a while since we had some alone time together. Can I ask you something?”
“If you can give me an answer, I’ll tell you.”
“I’m still a little unfamiliar with the concept of administrators. Do upper-level managers follow your orders? Do you also manage foreign media?”
At Jinhyuk’s words, the eagle owl stroked his chin.
“Definitely… I think we need to sort things out a little. There are some parts of our relationship that are a bit ambiguous. It would be good to take this opportunity to clarify things clearly.”
Ugh!
A tower made of holograms appeared in front of the eagle owl.
The low-level manager Kaman I saw earlier… … Rick, one of our mid-level managers. And the faces of senior managers Hasting and Bendivia were also visible.
Seeing them all as holograms with just their heads sticking out, they all seem a bit cute.
“You can think of managers as those who manage the entire tower… their main job is to check all the little things that happen in the tower and make sure there are no problems on each floor.”
Observe the right to move up the stairs and fights between factions, etc., and intervene when necessary.
That was the meaning of the manager’s existence.
Of course, among them, they were divided into upper, middle, and lower depending on the authority each had.
The hologram shattered, and this time a sphere with a red mouth appeared on the pure white surface.
… … The operators include the New Young Eonhwan and the Great Horned Owl.
“We, the operators, are the ones who created the tower. Administrators are either directly elected by us or naturally selected by the system, but we are basically given the final authority regarding the tower.”
Tower of Trials.
Creating a huge world with 50 floors. The virtual reality game that Jinhyuk played for the first time was also created by the operators.
“Lastly, there are foreign bodies. In other words, they are the so-called ancient beings. They are categorized as ‘variables’ outside the standard. Since you have dealt with them, you probably know better than anyone else what level they are.”
Obviously, they were subordinate to the tower, so they were lower than the managers, but their power was so strong that even higher-level managers could not treat them carelessly.
Restrictions can only be imposed as a system.
Therefore, they stayed on the last step of the tower and served as the final gateway against those trying to climb to the top of the tower.
“and…….”
The eagle owl slowly opened its mouth.
“He is the one who is free from all of that.”
The most important information is starting to come out.
fantasy, game,
