Episode 389 Two teachers, two disciples (2)
Dalpo.
Outside, it was only about 5 hours, but inside the imaginary space, a full month had passed.
Kukukukukuku!
Dozens of swords floating along the sky.
The dark-colored weapons made of the Heavenly Demon Heart Sword rushed in a row.
[The Heavenly Demon activates the Heavenly Demon’s new art, ‘Death Heavenly Starfire’!]
As if a meteor shower falls in the night sky.
The swords coming down in a straight path were spectacular in themselves.
Right then.
Red swords rose from the ground.
Compared to the Heavenly Demon, the sword’s power and number were insufficient… but it was not inferior in momentum at all.
Iggy swords of different colors.
Only when one enters the realm of enlightenment can one attain its form. The strongest known swords rushed toward one point, erasing each other’s trajectories.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Kwaaaaang!
Sword and sword clashed.
Shattered fragments were scattered through the air, and rising flames quietly lit up the dark night.
Tuk.
The Heavenly Demon who came down from the sky nodded as if satisfied.
“I can’t believe it’s the same number as the Heavenly Demon Heart Sword, which is loaded with 5-star power. At this level, you can succeed me right now.”
It is a tone of sincere admiration.
No matter how much I pushed myself to the limit, I never thought I would master the Heavenly Demon Divine Skill so quickly.
In fact, even he, who was called the Heavenly Being, took more than ten years to reach the 5th star…
‘If I were in Moorim, I would have become a monster capable of unifying Moorim.’
However, the student in front of him didn’t seem to have any intention of staying there.
You will move upward without being tied to a single level or to any force.
Towards a place no one has ever been to.
“It’s all thanks to Heavenly Demon’s good guidance. Because I didn’t tell you, I feel like 100 lives have disappeared.”
My arms and legs aren’t sore anywhere.
I had to check the neck three times to make sure it was attached properly.
“We got along a little bit violently, but it was still a pretty fun time.”
“Me too. I don’t think I’ll ever have to spend time this intensely in the future.”
I mean this.
I’ve done all kinds of crazy things at the Tower of Trials so far.
By far, I think the past month has been the busiest.
‘At this level… it’s an achievement that exceeds expectations.’
I feel like my whole body is itching to see how much stronger I have already become.
Jinhyeok felt pleasantly aware of the magical energy circling quietly within his body.
“Yes. You have become stronger and stronger. To the point where most criminals don’t even dare to look at you. And to the point where even the strongest people look up to you. You have become stronger.”
but.
“Aren’t you afraid? There is an enemy that you can’t defeat even if you become this strong.”
The Heavenly Demon’s voice became strangely complex.
I know very well what the reason is.
Shub Niguras.
A transcendent being who drove the Heavenly Demon to death just by appearing.
If you go to the top of the tower, you will encounter monsters that go beyond common sense.
Cheonma asks if that would be okay.
‘I’m afraid…’
Well, there was a time like that.
There was a time when I was trembling and unable to move in front of an enemy that surpassed common sense.
but.
Not anymore. Those newbie days are long gone.
Moreover, even though it became a reality rather than a virtual game, that didn’t mean that the experience and feeling disappeared.
A faint smile appeared on Jinhyuk’s face.
“…You asked something pointless.”
Looking at that smile, the Heavenly Demon was convinced.
Even if he were to face any monster, Jinhyeok would never feel fear.
That’s it.
Any further questions and answers are meaningless.
“The time has already come to this. Whenever you are tired and having a hard time, come visit us at Moorim. Friendship Law is also anxiously waiting, and I am also looking forward to the day when we can meet again.
The Heavenly Demon said goodbye quietly.
＊＊＊
Pachichik!
The imaginary space collapsed and Jinhyuk came out.
“Whoa……”
The damp and humid air inside the labyrinth was sucked deep into my lungs.
Is it because they fought and risked their lives in there?

Even the gloomy atmosphere of the labyrinth felt welcoming.
“Were you training inside the barrier?”
The first one to greet me was Cheon Yu-seong.
Seeing that the yogi on the tip of Ryu Hwa’s sword has become several times darker, it seems that he has grown several levels in the meantime.
“Yeah. Well, I did a little bit of this and that. Anyway, it’s nice to see our Sword Saint after a long time. How have you been while I was gone?”
“It’s like we haven’t seen each other in years when we’ve only seen each other for a few hours… Damn it. Don’t be rude to me. It’s disgusting.”
“Anyway, why are you so icy all the time? I can’t give you affection without giving it to you. Ugh.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, just wait until you clear this labyrinth. You will be shocked when you find out how much stronger I have become in this short period of time.”
Cheon Yu-seong declared war with a confident face.
These days, one-on-one time has been rare, so I scolded him more, and he seems to have calmed down.
“Oh…don’t be afraid. Anyway, if the Sword Saint really steps forward, my life will be at stake.”
“Damn. That’s it. I’ll do some more training, so call me when it’s time to go to the boss.”
“Yes, yes. Let’s go take a look.”
Jinhyuk passed it off with one ear, but this time he turned to the eagle owl.
however.
“…….you.”
Jinhyuk’s expression suddenly darkened.
This is because the right arm of the eagle owl was different from before.
“No matter how much you are an operator, if you use this level of power, you have to pay the price. Don’t worry too much. This is my choice.”
The body is crumbling into powder.
Thanks to the use of imaginary space, the penalty cost one’s own life.
Passyuk.
Powder scattered along the shoulder area.
Even at this moment, the aftereffects were continuing.
“…How many minutes are left?”
“It’s only about 5 minutes. If you don’t hurry back, you won’t end up losing your right arm.”
Is it possible to die?…
“It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see the end of the labyrinth, but I still fully confirmed the possibility. It’s really… changed a lot.”
The eagle owl looked directly at Jinhyuk.
Although I couldn’t see the face inside because it was covered by the mask, I felt like I could see what kind of eyes he had.
“You can make what we want come true. You can also achieve your desired goal.”
“Yes, I look forward to the day when we can meet again at the top of the tower. When that time comes, let’s take off our masks and talk. Don’t talk in a dark way while hiding your true identity.”
“Of course.”
The eagle owl nodded.
With this, there is another reason to see the top of the tower.
＊＊＊
When the eagle owl left, Jinhyeok and Cheon Yuseong accelerated their speed by one level.
Since I had already obtained the resistance stone and completed the training, there was no reason to hesitate.
[Cheon Yu-seong activates his unique ability ‘Sword Song’!]
“Keeeeee!”
“Keeee!”
Along a dark passageway laid like an anthill, large monsters resembling moray eels jumped out.
Of course, the idea of chewing up prey with sharp teeth did not last long.
This is because Ryu Hwa, with his green glow, cut off the entire heads of the moray eels.
Suddenly!
The period is too short to perfectly master left hand sword.
However, as if the term ‘talented’ is not there for nothing, Cheon Yu-seong was already showing his level of advancement.
“Heh! How do you feel? This is my sword.”
“Again. I let my guard down again. Don’t stress your shoulders and focus just because you caught those guys a hundred days ago. Because from now on, it’s real.”
Jinhyuk pointed to the front where the moray eels live.
Different patterns carved along the floor.
It was a bridge with layers of magic and barriers spread out.
“Is this a place where the residents have suffered many times?”
“Yes. The number of traps alone exceeds double digits. We prepared for the most difficult ones with resistance stones, but this is still not something to be taken lightly. Look, it’s like this.”
Jerk.
At the same time as Jinhyuk’s right foot moves.
Kukukukuk!
Kwakwakwakwa!
A thunderbolt fell from the sky.
[Fire resistance stones absorb flames!]
Cheeeeeek!
A red flame appeared around Jinhyeok, but soon it absorbed all the fire that fell from the sky.
But, at the same time.
Sigh! Boom!
Different types of traps were triggered simultaneously in all directions.
Poison needles, crossbows, and even arrows.
Kakakakang!
When Jinhyuk swung the barnard, the blades split in half.
Gigi geek…….
The trap is not over. As the sound of clashing metals was heard, an arm holding a huge sword shot out from under the bridge.
The arm, which rose high as if to touch the ceiling of over hundreds of meters, was pointed downward.
Quaaaang!
It is a terrifying blow that feels as if the entire leg will be amputated.
However, Jinhyuk avoided the attack this time by moving one step back.
A large wall made of blades was created right in front of my nose.
“Well, it’s roughly like this. As we go forward, things will become more diverse.”
“It’s not that difficult to see and respond to. Still, as you said, it can be annoying. If you recklessly waste your magic power here, you’ll have a hard time against the boss.”
“That’s right. So we have to find a way to break through the trap while preserving our magic power.”
“Do you have something in mind?”
“huh”
Jinhyuk had a strange smile on his face.
Creepy.
A chill ran down Cheon Yu-seong’s spine.
I have experienced with my own body what happens when this type of laughter occurs.
“You’re not saying you’re going to use me as bait, are you?”
“Oh. No matter what, I’m not that good.”
Actually, I tried to do that.
Even if I hadn’t learned the Left Hand Sword, I would have tried to use it as bait as a guinea pig for the labyrinth…
It was really disappointing.
But the good news is that I have a truckload of friends who can fill that role.
“Wait a minute, everyone, come out. I’ll give you the first mission.”
Ugh!
The subspace inventory was opened, and small-sized Salamanders rushed out through the gap.
“Did you call me, master?”
Salamander puffed out his chest.
Is it because of the fact that he has a lot of his own people under his command?
Unlike before, you can feel the bravado of being a spirit king.
Words of astonishment welled up in my throat, but Jinhyuk instead gave me the warmest smile in the world.
“Our cute fire lizard. Can you see the end of that bridge over there?
“I see it, master.”
“Just go there.”
“Huh? Over there? Why?”
Salamander opened his eyes wide.
“It’s not a big deal. All you have to do is go. My legs aren’t feeling well. If you do that, I’ll send you back to subspace where there’s a warm bonfire.”
“A…a bonfire?”
“It’s just a bonfire burning red logs on the 8th floor. It’s just a thief.”
It is the best delicacy for salamanders, famous for its fragrant aroma and high purity of fire.
gulp!
I can hear the sound of saliva flowing down my throat.
“Ah, I understand. I’ll go right away. Master. Be sure to keep your promise. By all means!”
Do do do do…….
The Salamander ran across the bridge at a four-step pace.
With drool dripping from your mouth.
Fuuuuuuu!
“Kyaoooo!”
It didn’t take long for a huge explosion to occur.
The Salamander flew into the sky and became a star in the sky.
“Hmm, did you disarm the five traps?”
It’s not a bad achievement since I was able to avoid the mine-type detective.
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned to the remaining spirit beasts.
“Next applicant.”
