◈ Episode 193. Don’t look back at me (2)
“… … “Over there.”
“huh?”
“How long do I have to wait?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide spoke to him.
“Please wait a little longer. “It’s because I’m really worried about how to tell the story in my own way.”
“… … “What on earth is so great about saying this?”
Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth as if he couldn’t understand, but the guide didn’t respond to his words and continued thinking.
How much time has passed like that?
The guide, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
“First of all, before we talk about this properly, I have something to tell you first.”
“What do you mean?”
“First of all, even if I tell you the story now, my words will not answer your curiosity.”
“… … what? No, what does that mean? “Then what are you going to tell me?”
Kim Joo-hyuk frowns and asks.
However, the guide still spoke with a calm expression.
“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of changing this. It’s not good for you or me to bring this up in the first place.”
“What do you mean, it’s not good for you and it’s not good for me?”
“Literally, if I tell you directly about the questions that arise around you, it won’t be good for either of us. especially.”
The guide looked straight at Kim Joo-hyuk and said.
“Not to you.”
“… … .”
At the guide’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at her without saying anything.
She still had a calm expression, but she was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk with determined eyes.
‘What does this mean?’
If I find out, will we both suffer a loss?
Why on earth?
When Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the guide with an expression that he still didn’t understand, she immediately answered.
“I assure you, I am not lying to you. really. “Because I have nothing to gain by lying in the first place.”
“Then why do you say it’s not good for both of us if I answer questions through your mouth?”
“that… … .”
The guide, who had been silent for a moment and pondering, soon spoke as if he had found the answer.
“If you don’t realize it yourself, it’s meaningless.”
“It’s meaningless if I don’t realize it myself?”
The guide nods his head in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“That’s right, the memories that come to mind will help you more than you think. “Only if you become enlightened yourself.”
“If you solve your curiosity in another way.”
“Those memories will be completely useless memories, all of them.”
Kim Joo-hyuk frowns as if he doesn’t really understand what the guide said.
But the guide still talked.
“But there is one thing I can definitely answer.”
“What?”
“You said you saw the memory of the spirit, right? And there you said that it seemed like the memory was contained within the ring.”
“It did.”
The guide shook his head at Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer.
“no.”
“what?”
“No, the memories of the miracle you saw are not the illusions shown to you by objects contained in the ring, but your real memories.”
“… … .”
“Perhaps the more you absorb the name with that ring, the clearer the memory will become. “If you think about the speed, the day will come when you will realize the truth without you having to ask me.”
As the guide said, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the miracle in his hand.
The guide who was looking at that scene was soon.
“Oh, and.”
“?”
“I’m telling you this because I hope it will be helpful, but the miracle in your hand has been around since it was created in the first place.”
That’s what he said.
“It was made so that only you can use it.”

Fuuuk-!
“Khaaaak!”
A spear emitting purple light pierces the sword master’s stomach.
I’m crying.
What appears accordingly is a red bloodstain.
When Geomju saw that a purple spear had pierced his stomach, he frowned and tried to move his body.
“Keuuuuuuu!”
The sword master, who had already allowed a fatal blow, was restrained by the magical power of the spear that flowed through the purple spear.
“Hey, bastard… … !”

Geomju turns his head to look at Changju with red bloodshot eyes.
The sword master’s sharp eyes glared at him as if he wanted to tear him to death, but he instead spoke with a gentle smile on his lips.
“You shouldn’t have turned your back on me.”
“Cough!”
Geomju spits out a handful of blood at Changju’s words.
Looking at him like that, Changju continued talking.
“So, how does it feel to have a spear stuck in your back?”
“Your guy… … ! “You think you’ll be okay after doing this!?”
“What will it be like?”
“This bastard… … !”
A swordsman whose eyes shine as if he wants to kill me right now.
However, his body was already under the control of the Changju’s magic, and the Changju looked into the Swordmaster’s eyes and smiled and spoke.
“I was always waiting for this moment. “I mean the moment when they put a spear in your stomach.”
“The Lord of the Labyrinth will not stay still… … !!”
“Of course, the Lord of the Labyrinth will not remain silent, if only the Lord of the Labyrinth can realize this fact.”
“what… … ?”
Geomju asks as if he doesn’t understand.
Changju answered him.
“I’m not going to kill you. Rather, I’m going to send you down to earth like this. “Because it would be such a waste for me to kill you.”
“What is that… … .”
Fuuuuk-!
“Khaaaaaaaa!”
A screaming swordsman.
However, Changju immediately removed the spear that was stuck in Swordmaster’s back and sat down in front of Swordmaster, who had flopped down in his place, and spoke.
“Go down. Go down and die to him. That’s why I’m dedicating your name. So that He can rise again.”
“what… … Called?”
Geomju frowns as if he doesn’t understand the founder’s words.
“You guy. It’s also related to the Irregular… … !”
However, he soon frowned and answered.
“Before that, leave this behind when you go down.”
Changju pulled out the sword of the sword master and swung his hand in a big swing.
“Okay then, goodbye, Geomju.”
“Changju… … !!!!”
Along with him, the sword master who was at Bian’s management office disappeared in an instant.
“… … .”
The inside became quiet as the sword holder disappeared.
Changju immediately erased the smile on his face as if it had never existed in the first place, and then took a look at the secret eye that the swordsman had been using until now.
Soon he looked at the sword master held in his hand.
A sword with such a sad aura that you can tell even at first glance that it is an extremely famous sword.
There were two reasons why Changju took this sword from Geomju.
One reason was that this sword was very closely related to the name of the swordsman who went down into the labyrinth.
This is because if he goes down with this sword, he may have trouble taking the ‘name’.
And one other reason besides that.
Phew!
Changju plunged the sword straight into his stomach.
Tuk-tuk-duk-duk-
Blood dripping with him.
Sudden self-harm.
“… … .”
However, Changju only frowned slightly, and immediately began to raise his magic power and spread it throughout Bian.
After such a long time had passed.
By the time Changju’s complexion was starting to become dangerous because he had lost so much blood.
“Whoa-”
After confirming that his magical energy was almost empty, Changju used the remaining magical energy.
“Cough! Oh, my lord… … !”
I went straight to the labyrinth master’s room made of ebony.
“… … Changju?”
Soon, Chang-ju bowed down in front of Migung-ju, who was frowning, with great difficulty.
“Well, the swordsman… … Take all the names that the Lord of the Labyrinth has collected… … “I escaped into the labyrinth!”
“… … what!!”
That’s how it was reported.

Late at night.
“So, you ended up coming here only after hearing those words?”
“okay.”
Kim Joo-hyuk was talking with Barce.
“Then the conclusion is that the only information I have obtained right now is your memories of that ring.”
“yes.”
A moment of silence followed Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer.
“But then again, it’s not that easy to understand?”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s only helpful if I know it myself in the first place…” … “What does that mean?”
Kim Joo-hyuk tilts his head as if he doesn’t understand at all.
Barce seemed to think about it for a moment.
“I don’t think you can understand it with the information you have right now, but the good news is that as you absorb the name, you will gain more memories.”
He soon answered while looking at the ring on Kim Joo-hyuk’s hand.
“You said that the ring can only be used by you, so if you research it, you might come up with something. “That’s it.”
Barce looked at Kim Joo-hyuk and spoke.
“There isn’t a lot of information obtained right now, but hasn’t the amount of inferences that can be made increased significantly?”
“What can we infer?”
“Yes, I just said that the memories of the ring called the miraculous gift are actually your memories, so that means you have a past that goes back even more than 300 years ago.”
“… … hmm.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nods his head as if he agrees with Barce’s words.
“It’s another past I don’t remember… … .”
As Kim Joo-hyuk’s curiosity grew, he thought about whether he could investigate the miracle that Barce had mentioned earlier.
‘… … ‘I guess it’s impossible?’
From Kim Joo-hyuk’s perspective, it was correct to believe that there was almost no way to investigate this ring.
‘no. Could it be?’
Kim Joo-hyuk recalled the existence of artifacts that exist in this world.
Artifact.
There are artifacts that are helpful in battle, but if you look closely for artifacts that have various utilities, you might find an artifact that can retrieve memories of objects.
‘I’ll have to talk to Black Cat about this separately.’
So Kim Joo-hyuk thought that way and continued his thoughts.
Barce, who was continuing to worry with such a serious expression, looked at Kim Joo-hyuk for a while.
“It seems too serious, so let me make a joke.”
He soon said that.
“Gag?”
Kim Joo-hyuk turns his gaze to look at Barce.
He checked Kim Joo-hyuk’s gaze once and spoke.
“What if the king falls?”
“… … ?”
“King Kong. Phew.”
“… … ???”
“What if the apple smiles?”
“???????”
“Green apple! Fuhahaha! “Isn’t it funny?”
Barce makes jokes and laughs as he pleases.
Gib Joo-hyuk looked at him as if he was dumbfounded.
“pooh… … Fuhahaha!”
Soon I burst out laughing.
Soon, Kim Joo-hyuk said to Barche, who was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk happily.
“I’ll try a joke too.”
“Oh, really?”
“What if the lion dies?”
“?”
“Reaper.”
“oh… … !”
Barce is impressed.
But in the words that immediately followed.
“What if Barce dies?”
“… … Det?”
Barce kept his mouth shut.
“If you don’t want to know, stay still.”
“… … .”
Barce had a sullen expression.
