◈ Episode 209. Reclaim your name (3)
The entrance to the labyrinth.
There was a man walking along a plain cave-like entrance without much decoration.
“after.”
He is a fugitive.
Until recently, he was one of the five masters of the Labyrinth Lord who wandered outside under the orders of the Lord of the Labyrinth, but returned to the Labyrinth when called by the Lord of the Labyrinth.
“It’s annoying… … .”
Doju frowned and looked at the plain entrance to the cave.
He didn’t really know why the Lord of the Labyrinth had called him.
He simply returned to the labyrinth after seeing the call bell given to him by the owner of the labyrinth to summon him ring.
“Tsk, why on earth did you call me?”
Doju grumbled as he moved inside the labyrinth.
From his perspective, no matter how much he thought about it, it was because he could not understand why the owner of the labyrinth was calling him back after sending him out of the labyrinth.
In the first place, there were a sword lord and a window lord who were favored by the labyrinth lord in the current labyrinth, and when those two became the labyrinth lord’s favorite, all the other lords were sent out under the pretext of inviting those who would become the power of the labyrinth lord.
In short, except for the Sword Lord and the Chang Lord, the other Lords are merely occupying their positions perfunctorily and have already lost the competition between the Sword Lord and the Chang Lord.
Of course, in the past, he was a fugitive who faithfully obeyed the words of the Lord of the Labyrinth in order to become even a little stronger, but this has not been the case recently.
Even if I tried to obey anyway, the Lord of the Labyrinth’s favor went to the Lord of the Sword and the Lord of the Window.
There was no guarantee that working hard would make you stronger, so recently Doju was enjoying living a leisurely life outside.
In conclusion, that’s why Do-ju didn’t really like Labyrinth-ju’s call this time.
The fact that the call came was because he had no doubt that the Lord of the Labyrinth had called him to entrust him with some trivial chore.
“Tsk.”
Clicking his tongue for no reason, he ran towards the labyrinth with slow movements.
And Doju walked into the labyrinth like that.
“… … Changju?”
Soon I could see Changju standing at the entrance to the labyrinth.
Changju is staring at himself as he approaches the labyrinth with a truly emotionless expression.
Doju couldn’t help but frown at that.
In the first place, he didn’t like the Sword Lord and Chang Lord who monopolized the Labyrinth Lord’s favor.
“Why is your guy here?”
Therefore, without realizing it, Do-ju lashed out at Chang-ju in a harsh tone.
Chang-ju did not say anything, but approached Do-ju and spoke.
“The Lord of the Labyrinth sent me to meet you.”
“… … “The Lord of the Labyrinth?”
“okay.”
As Changju spoke like that, he naturally stood next to Doju and spoke while spreading his hands towards the labyrinth as if he were dealing with someone who came to his house.
“Come on in. “I heard that the Lord of the Labyrinth had something to say.”
“… … “What happened in the labyrinth?”
The question of escape.
However, Changju did not say anything and simply gestured toward the door of the labyrinth.
“You’ll find out once you get in.”
“… … .”
Do-ju stares at Chang-ju, who was looking at him with an emotionless expression.
“Tsk.”
However, he soon clicked his tongue out of habit, and as if he did not like it, he passed Changju and started walking towards the entrance of the labyrinth.
Deep!
“Kak… … ?”
Soon, Doju’s eyes widened in disbelief as he saw a purple spear piercing his stomach.
“What is this…?” … ! “Wow!”
Do-joo spits blood out of the corner of his mouth, forcibly controls his trembling body, and turns his gaze back to look at Chang-ju.
However, even though Changju hit Doju on the back, he spoke with a very calm expression.
“It’s a shame, you’ll never know what’s inside the labyrinth.”
“this… … 개새끼가… … !”
Doju now looks at Changju with bloodshot eyes.
However, Changju still spoke with a calm expression despite such cute appearance of Doju.
“die.”
Sigh!
That’s it.
Changju cut Doju’s body in half by raising the spear that had pierced his stomach and slashing at him, killing him.
It’s an ending that’s too absurd to be called Oh Joo’s ending.
In reality, Doju was not weak enough to meet such a meaningless end.
The only thing he did wrong was that he let his guard down.
“… … .”
With an indifferent expression, Chang-ju brought the spear to Do-ju’s half-covered, blood-spattered body.
Hwareuk-!
Soon, Doju’s body began to burn due to the magic flame created by Changju.
and.
“… … “Something was happening at the entrance.”
Hearing the voice that was soon heard, Changju unconsciously opened his eyes and looked away.

“!”
There, Changju could see a man.
A man wearing a skull necklace around his neck.
The ghost of Yusahah.
Changju’s thoughts stopped for an instant when he saw the man.
That’s because, according to Changju’s understanding, there were no visitors to the labyrinth at all.
Of course, that was because Yusa-ha’s ghost entered the labyrinth using the skull attached to his neck, but that was not what was important to the current founder.
‘I got caught.’
Something important to Changju.
It was that his actions were discovered by the ghost of Yusahah.
‘What should I do?’
As soon as Yusaha’s ghost revealed that he had killed Doju, numerous thoughts came to his mind.
Changju frowned because the fact that he killed Doju in the first place should not have been known to anyone.
‘Should I kill him?’
A thought that momentarily passed through my mind.
However, Changju immediately canceled the plan.
At least I couldn’t properly guess the identity of the man in front of me, but one thing was certain.
The man in front of me says he can’t win.
Because he instinctively realized that fact, Changju began to think about what to do about this situation.
The moment you think about it like that.
“I don’t have to worry.”
“… … ?”
“Let’s pretend I didn’t see it.”
“… … “What is that?”
“Didn’t you hear? I’ll pretend I didn’t see it. I saw nothing and heard nothing. “I never came here in the first place.”
The ghost of Yusahah said that and then looked at Changju.
“Do you understand?”
“… … “Can I trust you?”
“Rather, I’d like to ask.”
“?”
“Should I have told you? I have never been here. Also, I couldn’t see it or hear it. Do you understand?”
Man’s words.
Changju was able to know what the man wanted.
But at the same time, I couldn’t understand.
‘Why on earth?’
Yusaha’s ghost’s proposal clearly only benefits the founder himself, rather than benefiting both of them.
However, even if something felt uncomfortable, it did not mean that he would not accept the man’s offer, so Changju nodded.
“Good.”
Immediately satisfied with the Changju’s nod, Yusahah’s ghost nodded once and immediately left the place and went out of the cave.
and.
Grumble-!
At the place where Do-ju’s body was burning, Chang-ju looked in the distance at the place where Yu Yu-ha’s ghost had disappeared with a strangely confused expression.

Training room late in the evening.
“after… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who came out a little late and continued training a little longer than the others, sat in the middle of the sparring room set up on one side of the training room without even thinking about taking a shower, and took out the Gongcheong Oil in his pocket.
“… … .”
Gongcheong Petroleum looks like it is contained in a small gourd.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked around again at the bottle, which was about the size of his finger, and spoke.
“I just have to pour this into my mouth, right?”
“okay.”
Barce nods at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“… … “Well, I don’t have to do this or that?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Something like controlling the spread of magical power using mental techniques.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk asked, Barce tilted his head and spoke.
“You can do it if you want, but it won’t make much of a difference. In the first place, such actions are unnecessary for Gongcheong Petroleum, so just drinking it will be enough.”
“okay?”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded after hearing Barce’s words, and without hesitation, he grabbed the end of the gourd, which was the size of a finger, and removed it.
Even though it is clearly a small gourd, Pong! It opened with a sound.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was staring at it, immediately moved his hand and poured the contents of the gourd into his mouth.
Talk.
With a very small popping sound, a drop of liquid fell from a small gourd, the size of a finger, on the tip of Kim Joo-hyuk’s tongue.
“… … .”
That’s it.
“What, is it the end?”
Kim Joo-hyuk shook the gourd once and then tilted his head to ask, and Barce nodded.
“Maybe so.”
“… … No, just one drop?”
“From what I remember, just one drop is a very rare elixir.”
Barce’s words.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk spoke with a mysterious expression.
“… … “For such a precious elixir, there really hasn’t been a single change?”
He said that and tried to use his magic power, but he felt puzzled because there was no significant change.
Around that time.
“!”
Kim Joo-hyuk was able to confirm that the area in front of his eyes turned white and became pitch black at the same time.
Kim Joo-hyuk is embarrassed by the momentary change in appearance.
Did Kim Joo-hyuk find himself summoned by a guide? As soon as he thought about it, he shook his head.
That’s because Kim Joo-hyuk’s body didn’t move as he wanted.
And as if to confirm Kim Joo-hyuk’s thoughts, something began to form in the pitch-black darkness.
The first thing created was a world that was destroyed just like the last time.
A world was created before Kim Joo-hyuk’s eyes, giving off a truly lonely and cold atmosphere, where nothing existed and even the trees were dried and twisted, as if one could see the harshness at a glance.
“!”
What Kim Joo-hyuk could see next was the same shape as last time.
It’s clear that it’s someone, but no matter how closely you look, the shape is obscured so that you can’t figure out who it is.
And the last thing I saw was a man with a skull necklace lying on the ground, very badly wounded.
A man who has suffered so many wounds that he cannot avoid death if someone hits him with another blow in this condition.
Someone whose shape and form is unrecognizable.
Where those two characters were, someone started a story.
[Master, shall we handle it?]
A strange voice that still makes it difficult to determine who it is just by listening to it.
[No, there is no need to go out and kill someone like that.]
[But didn’t that guy try to attack Master…? … !]
[Okay.]
However, a voice that seemed to be me stopped the figure that seemed to be spewing out murderous energy next to me and turned its attention to the fallen man.
[He will definitely be useful in the future.]
That’s what he said.
