Episode 386 Gatekeeper of the Labyrinth (1)
Finally, that guy’s story came out.
“We call him the ‘designer’ or the ‘first operator.’ He is everything, and he is everything.”
“You speak very vaguely. Are you referring to the majority of forces as ‘he’? Or are you saying that he has various titles?”
“Well, it’s difficult for us to give an exact definition. In fact, the concept itself is somewhat ambiguous. I’d like to explain it in more detail, but as you can see… my hands and feet are half tied.”
The eagle owl glanced at the sky.
Parts… … .
Pachick!
Blue sparks were rising in the sky.
The system’s limits have already been reached.
“One last thing, this guy has a troubling ability. He has the power to break down the existing rules and reorganize the tower according to his own rules.”
“……Such a ridiculous thing is possible?”
“Didn’t you see with your own eyes that this labyrinth had actually changed? Of course, he is not yet at the level of perfect control of his power, but it is only a matter of time. Someday, everything in the tower will collapse. ”
The eagle owl calmly confessed the reality.
“…….”
Does this mean that the more time it takes, the more dangerous it becomes?
Certainly, it is not something to be trifled with.
If it had the ability to destroy the foundation of the tower, it would be natural for the operators to be afraid.
Now I finally understand what Saeyoung Eon-hwan warned me about.
“How much time is left?”
“Because it is such an esoteric ability, it will take at least two years. It may take longer than that.”
2 years.
A shadow fell on Jinhyuk’s face.
Will it be possible to reach the top of the tower within two years?
Compared to the past, this is a very short time.
No matter how much you monopolize the talent and exclude mistakes.
“…I need to become stronger by then. Even more than now.”
“Yes. I need to grow even more. And clearing this labyrinth is probably the first hurdle.”
“I understand what you mean.”
I gained a lot of useful information in many ways.
What should I do next… … .
Thanks to you, I got a bit of a feel for it.
＊＊＊
Rapidly changing vision.
Strange places continue, but there is no time to rest.
“Ha.ha.ha.ha….”
Ellis continued to breathe heavily.
I don’t know how long I’ve been running.
It’s already been a few hours since I chased after Hatoel.
The reins of pursuit have become even tighter. To that extent, his physical strength and magic power were approaching the bottom.
Because he acted far away from Jinhyeok, the limited magical power he could receive also played a big role.
‘I should have sucked a lot of real blood… … .’
On that soft neck. With sharp fangs. Her magical power should have been vigorously replenished.
“Why are you panting so much by yourself? Like a hunting dog with meat in front of it.”
Hatoel glanced at Ellis with suspicious eyes.
“My, when will I? Where on earth is there such a thing as an entrance?”
“We’re almost there. Just a little more to go.”
Hatoel, who was carefully looking around, grabbed Ellis’ wrist.
“for a moment……!”
“why?”
“There is a barrier right in front of you. Looking at the technique, it is new, having been created less than 10 minutes ago.”
“I can’t see anything?”
“It is a trap only visible to angels. It uses special divine power to defend against outside invaders.”
If anyone crosses that line, battle angels will be summoned.
In the end, even the last escape route was blocked.
“…….”
Hatoel bit her lip as if she was troubled.
“Why on earth has the inside of Eden become so frozen? It used to be a more comfortable and comfortable atmosphere.”
“There are internal circumstances.”
“So, what are the internal circumstances? If the situation has gotten to this point, shouldn’t I know something about it?”
Ellis pushed harder once more.
Then, Hatoel let out a long breath.
They wanted to avoid revealing their secrets, but as they say, they can’t hide it forever.
Because Ellis has already stepped into this gutter.
“Due to Kizakiel’s betrayal, a disciplinary committee was convened in Eden. Although it was only a meeting in words, it was actually a place to pass judgment.”
but.
“As the trial opened, there were more angels supporting him than I thought.”
How long must Eden maintain harmony and balance and endure the tyranny of evil forces?

Is Eden truly worthy of becoming the owner of the tower?
Kizakiel’s argument grew more and more powerful.
From now on, we will not respect the positions of other forces. Toward the point where we must act solely for the benefit of Eden.
“That completely changed the temperature of Eden.”
It was an instant for the moderate faction, which was popular, to stumble.
The archangels, including Michael and Gabriel, were silent. Instead, radical angels, including Uriel and Raphael, took action.
Although it did not go as far as the tragedy of ousting the opposition, non-Eden forces began to be brutally cut out.
“……So, I was told that the arrival of me and my blood relatives should not be known.”
“That’s right. Gabrielle, you too will be in a difficult situation if this incident becomes known.”
I know roughly what the situation is.
Ellis was deep in thought.
If this is the case… … How did the contractor act?
I’m sure they would have found the best way… … .
“Ha. I don’t know.”
Ellis messed up her hair.
Thinking and using your head isn’t your thing.
Just acting according to your instincts suits your aptitude.
“Then, we will crush all those who are called Uriel and Raphael, so let’s form a formal alliance with us. How about that?”
“yes?”
Hatoel opened his eyes wide.
I don’t know what this vampire is talking about right now.
no way… … .
“Are you saying we should start a civil war now?”
“Yes. In the first place, there shouldn’t be more than one head in one faction. There is no unity of opinion. It’s easy to get stabbed in the back.”
Advice from experience.
When multiple powerful people share power equally, problems inevitably arise.
They’re just pretending not to know each other. This means that dissatisfaction and emotions are bound to accumulate.
“So, let’s get out of here and meet my contractor. Smashing annoying guys is my contractor’s specialty and hobby.”
“Nonsense… No, wait. What are you trying to do now?”
“Once the decision has been made, we have to get out of here. If we drag on anyway, we will run out of magic and end up like a rat in a poison.”
Ellis cracked his joints.
The intention was not to use a secret passage, but to blow up the entire fortress and get out.
“W-If you go on a rampage here, Gabriel-sama will be in trouble too! Did you listen to what I said correctly…!”
“I’m sorry, but we’re already in the same boat. Now it’s all or nothing.”
Hatoel screamed, but it was after Elise had raised her magical power.
[Unique ability ‘Blood Lord’ is unlocked!]
Kukukukukuku!
Red blood drops spurted out in all directions.
Even though the supply of magical power was not smooth, a storm of unimaginable power arose.
Now everyone in Eden will know.
Here, one of the heads of the vampire family entered their territory.
＊＊＊
“Hmm. For some reason, I feel chills.”
Jinhyuk touched his trembling body.
It wasn’t that the temperature was low, but somehow the chill seeped into my bones.
“Has a new enemy appeared again?”
Cheon Yu-seong’s eyes sparkled.
Perhaps because he remembered the pain of yesterday, the hand holding the sword was unusual.
“No, that’s not it. I feel like something sinister is going to happen… It’s probably not a big deal.”
“Tsk. Don’t make people nervous with trivial things. Even if it’s not that important, they’re still on edge.”
It’s the second day since entering the labyrinth.
Thanks to treatment with advanced potions and ‘star protection’, Cheon Yu-seong was able to regain his condition.
Because of this, we have now entered a fairly deep area.
‘Anyway, it’s time to come out… … .’
It’s definitely right in front of me… … ah!
found!
Strange-looking stone statues were seen between the valleys.
“Are those the stone statues you’ve been singing about since yesterday?”
“that’s right.”
Commonly known as ‘Guardian of Nature’.
In order to get to the boss room, you had to get the ‘resistance stone’ found there.
This is because the path filled with different attribute magic was not effective even with decent stats or armor.
‘So even the knights of the empire gave up and returned here.’
Firepower that cannot be withstood even by armor engraved with anti-magic defenses.
No matter how fast and long sword masters are, the amount of mana they have in their bodies is limited.
Jinhyeok and Cheon Yuseong approached the stone statue.
Then at that very moment.
“Are you a new challenger?”
“Hmm. Three guys….”
“Giggles. The numbers are just right.”
The three statues woke up.
‘Stone Statue of Fire’.
‘Stone statue of water’.
‘Stone Statue of the Wind’.
The statues, each wearing a necklace made of resistance stones, giggled.
“We are one of the guardians guarding this labyrinth. It looks like we came because we wanted to take the resistance stone… is that right?”
The stone statue of fire opened its mouth on behalf of the other statues.
“Well, that’s what I came here for. I heard that I can only get what’s hanging around my neck if I pass the test you guys gave me.”
“Hoo. Did you buy information from those knights?”
“Giggle! I don’t need to give any unnecessary explanations.”
“Then the story will be quick. Solve the tasks we each give you. If so, I’ll hand this over to you as you wish.”
step.
“For every task you fail, I will accept the life of one of you as payment. Will you still try?”
“Do whatever you feel like.”
Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders.
With that, the contract was concluded.
A sword with a colorful pattern appeared in front of Jinhyeok and Cheon Yuseong. As the stone statue of fire said. If you fail, a sword with the effect of absolute judgment will pierce your heart.
“Okay. Let’s begin.”
The stone statue of fire unfolded the scroll it was holding in its hand.
[Test by Fire]
Content: Handling firearms is understanding the purest and most beautiful properties of fire. Among them, if you can subjugate the proud fire spirits, you can obtain the ‘Fire Qualification’. However, the size of the resistance stone provided varies depending on the number of spirits that can be obeyed.
Grumble!
As the flames seemed to gather, small lizards appeared.
Tongue fluttering.
Dozens of salamanders showed their hostility.
“Hiss!”
“Kyaoooo!”
Although they are only low-level people, their numbers are no joke.
So much so that most spirit warriors run away with their tails off.
“Is it okay if I just cut everything down?”
Cheon Yu-seong chose Ryu Hwa.
“Just wait. It’s not something that can be done through force alone.”
Simply taking a picture and pressing it ignorantly is definitely one of the ways.
However, if you do that, you cannot obtain true credentials.
A spirit that was subdued by force was bound to have antipathy towards it.
‘Subjugation through Mentra Taming is not perfect.’
Manipulating intimacy was also a 1% insufficient solution.
In fact, in the past, I had failed to obtain the highest quality resistance stone here.
then… … .
I have no choice but to use a more reliable method.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up.
“Salamander. Come out for a moment.”
“Boo, did you call me, master?”
A plump spirit beast rushed out from the subspace inventory.
