◈ Episode 214. It’s a bit much (2)
The night that Kim Joo-hyuk returned from a reincarnation center.
“Is it soon?”
“Yes, you said you would call me around noon, so I guess I will call you soon.”
As Kim Joo-hyuk spoke in his room, checking the time as it was slowly approaching 12 o’clock, Barce nodded and seemed to understand, but then spoke as if he was disappointed.
“Anyway, it’s too bad.”
“what?”
“My name. “Didn’t you say you couldn’t find it completely?”
At Barce’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk nodded once again and recalled the time when he met Jukchang at the previous reincarnation center.
As soon as he asked for help, Jukchang frantically went around the tree and brought Kim Joo-hyuk the fruit he wanted.
Thanks to this, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to very quickly find all the names he originally wanted to get, but Barce’s name was the only one he couldn’t find.
no. To be more specific, I couldn’t find ‘all’ of Barce’s name.
“I didn’t hear the details, but there are a lot of your names, so I have to search further to find them, but I can’t help it. “It’s not like there was a lot of time left.”
Kim Joo-hyuk speaks as if there is nothing he can do.
“Of course I’m aware of it, it’s just that I’m a little disappointed.”
Barce nodded his head in response and immediately changed the topic.
“I didn’t even think about it because I wasn’t in the mood before, but it’s still amazing.”
“What do you mean?”
“Your student.”
“Oh, bamboo spear?”
Barce nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“Surely the fact that he’s your disciple means he’s from 300 years ago, right?”
“Right?”
“But how on earth did they get up there?”
Barce’s question.
Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to think about it for a moment and then shrugged his shoulders.
“well? How would I know that in the first place?”
“… … “That is also true.”
Barce continues his thoughts as if he is very curious.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at him like that, immediately shrugged his shoulders and spoke.
“Well, he must have climbed up on his own somehow.”
“… … is it?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer, Barce continued to think a little more with a “hmmm” expression, but soon shook his head and stopped thinking.
“Of course, even if I thought about it, I couldn’t really come up with an answer.”
“Is that something you should even worry about?”
“To be honest, it’s not something worth worrying about, but personally, I’m a little curious.”
“Curious?”
Barce nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, but then spoke as if he was ambiguous.
“Well, don’t worry too much. Anyway, I don’t think the curiosity will be answered just by the two of us talking.”
“No, you make people curious and then cut them off?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
Barce scratched his head once and spoke-
“Well, it’s not a very great story.”
-I couldn’t.
“!”
That’s because while listening to Barce’s story, Kim Joo-hyuk noticed that an old shack had appeared in front of him.
“You’re right on time.”
The moment Kim Joo-hyuk saw that, he turned his head and opened his mouth.
“Did you finish your work well?”
The guide opened his mouth as if he had been waiting and looked at Kim Joo-hyuk.
Kim Joo-hyuk sat down on the old chair opposite the guide and nodded as if he was used to it.
“It ended very well. Plus, there was something a little surprising.”
“astonishment?”
A guide who asks questions as if he is curious.
Kim Joo-hyuk began to explain to the guide one by one what happened when he went to the reincarnation center using a needle.
Eventually, the guide heard the whole story.
“Your disciple… … “You were in a reincarnation place?”
“Okay, so you were able to find the name quickly?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
The guide made a strange expression for a while, tilted his head for a long time, then nodded several times as if he understood something and spoke.
“That’s a good thing.”
“So you planted the seeds I gave you well?”
“of course.”
The guide smiled with a very satisfied expression, and Kim Joo-hyuk, seeing her expression, immediately asked a question.
“By the way, what was that seed you gave me that made you tell me to plant it like that?”
“It’s a deterrent.”
“An inhibitor?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, the guide nodded and spoke.

“That’s right, if you successfully planted that seed on the land in the reincarnation center, you can say that the Lord of the Labyrinth has already lost 50% of her power.”
“… … “50% of the power?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide nodded and continued talking.
“The seed you planted is a seed that, once planted, will form a seal in the surrounding area that no one can break.”
“Bonginjin?”
“Yes, first of all, once the seed is activated and the seal is created properly, no one will be able to touch the area where the seal is placed.”
“Does that mean that even the Labyrinth Bead can’t be touched?”
“If the Lord of the Labyrinth could touch it even if it was sealed in the first place, I wouldn’t have bothered to ask you to plant that seed.”
After saying that, the guide thought briefly and continued talking.
“But just because you plant a seed first doesn’t mean everything will go well. In the first place, the seal on that seed is bound to be released after a certain period of time.”
“When is that?”
“There will probably be some difference, but about a month or so.”
“… … “It’s ambiguous to say it’s long, and it’s ambiguous to say it’s short.”
Kim Joo-hyuk makes a very strange expression.
But the guide smiled and spoke.
“But this is enough. “You’re not going to drag on for more than a month after the Tower of Destruction comes down, right?”
“… … “That’s right.”
Kim Joo-hyuk answered like that and recalled 300 years ago.
The old memories that were completely shattered the moment the Tower of Destruction fell.
In the dungeons that were manageable, monsters constantly crawled up and slaughtered people.
In the Tower of Destruction, monsters that even ordinary hunters cannot properly deal with come out in droves and are repeatedly massacred like monsters in a dungeon.
What remains is a completely destroyed city and a fireball fluttering into the air like a snake’s tongue.
And there was only acrid smoke that took away the light.
Of course, the current Kim Joo-hyuk was confident that he would clear the Tower of Destruction not long after it appeared.
However, it will definitely take a long time to clear the Tower of Destruction.
Because the Tower of Destruction is ridiculously large.
So what about the outside world in the meantime?
‘It’s going to be a mess.’
Kim Joo-hyuk was confident in his heart because they were contractors whose skills had not changed much compared to the hunters of the past.
First of all, when the Tower of Destruction comes down, the earth will be completely destroyed.
‘If monsters only flow from the Tower of Destruction, I might be able to stop them.’
If monsters really came out of the Tower of Destruction as he thought, Kim Joo-hyuk would definitely be able to stop them.
In the first place, for the current Kim Joo-hyuk, the number of monsters has become so strong that it is no longer that important.
However, what was really unfortunate was that the monsters came not only from the Tower of Destruction, but also from dungeons.
And in all the dungeons scattered around the world.
In short, once the Tower of Destruction comes down, it is impossible for Kim Joo-hyuk to stop the monsters that come out of the dungeon.
“Well, anyway, don’t worry.”
Perhaps he had sensed Kim Joo-hyuk’s thoughts, and the guide opened his mouth.
“The time you start working in earnest is when the Tower of Destruction comes down.”
“… … When the Tower of Destruction comes down?”
“Yes, once the Tower of Destruction comes down in earnest, work will begin then.”
The guide said that and soon began to explain his plan to Kim Joo-hyuk in earnest, and how much time had passed.
“So, as soon as the Tower of Destruction appears, we can put the plan into action, right?”
“that’s right.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded after hearing the guide’s plan for the future and soon changed the topic.
“Oh, and I have something to ask you.”
“Do you want to ask me something?”
A guide who answers by tilting his head.
In response, Kim Joo-hyuk showed the guide the fruit that Jukchang had brought him from his subspace pocket and told the guide exactly what Jukchang had said.
The guide was looking around at the fruit that Kim Joo-hyuk had brought with a curious expression.
“!!”
Very hot! He looked at the fruit with one expression, then looked at Kim Joo-hyuk with a serious expression and asked.
“How many of these did you bring?”
“Well, I didn’t count exactly, but about ten to twenty?”
“… … her.”
The guide opens his mouth without realizing it and looks at the fruit at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head and tried to ask the guide the reason, but the guide spoke before he could even speak.
“Did you see it when you went to the reincarnation center? “This tree with fruit.”
“Of course you saw it, right?”
After being guided by Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, he took a deep breath and spoke.
“The trees you saw in the reincarnation center are called by different names, but to be precise, they are trees called ‘Myeongmok (名木).’ A name tree is literally a tree created to store a name.”
As Kim Joo-hyuk remained silent and did not say much, the guide continued.
“But actually, the name tree has another function other than storing names. Its function is to produce fruit.”
“… … “To bear good fruit?”
“Yes, a name absorbs the names it holds as its fruits over a long period of time and creates a single fruit. I told you, right? “You shouldn’t eat fruit that doesn’t have your name on it.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded and spoke at the guide’s words.
“I definitely said that.”
“It’s the same even if it’s the Labyrinth Jewel. No matter how much of a labyrinth you are, you can’t just absorb the harvested name.”
As the guide said that, he looked at the fruit in his hand, and Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at it, suddenly thought, “What?” He made a facial expression and spoke.
“huh? And now that… … .”
“Yes, the reason the Lord of the Labyrinth stored the harvested names in the tree is to obtain this fruit. Eat this to strengthen her own powers. Likewise-”
The guide continued talking.
“In the first place, the reason I wanted to seal the reincarnation place with the black seed was to prevent the Labyrinth Lord from sending another name down to the Tower of Destruction, as well as to prevent the Labyrinth Lord from eating the Fruit of Good Fruit… … .”
She looked at the fruit, or rather the good fruit, in her hands.
“It seems like your disciple gave you all the fruit that the Lord of the Labyrinth had been saving for the end?”
He laughed and said that.
