◈ Episode 237 Who are you? (2)
“… … after”
Barce climbed to the top of Seogeumtaesan Mountain and unconsciously let out a low sigh.
The Seogeumtaesan Mountain that he could currently see was truly overflowing with majesty.
Even though all that was visible was a rocky mountain with only rocks, stones, and a few completely withered trees, it gave off such a lonely atmosphere.
‘It would be spectacular if we gathered together like this.’
If there were a very large number of people gathered together, it would look like a spectacular sight.
“… … .”
What Barce was looking at was a mountain of enormous size, spreading out endlessly.
A rocky mountain that rises irregularly here and there.
However, Barche, who was looking at the enormous size of the mountain from the top of Seogeumtaesan Mountain, had a different appreciation of the scenery.
“… … “That’s it.”
Seriously, that’s what I was thinking.
The spectacular scenery of Seogeumtaesan Mountain is certainly beautiful, but Barce had to find his name there now.
“under… … .”
Even with the addition of just one proposition, ‘You must find a name’ here, Barce felt despair rather than admiration at the appearance of the rocky mountain showing this spectacular scenery.
The size of Seogeumtaesan Mountain was so huge that it could not be called just a mountain.
‘No, I think it would be right to call it a mountain range rather than a mountain at this level.’
Barche muttered like that and looked at Seogeumtaesan with a blank expression.
‘Should I give up?’
Thoughts passing through my head.
… … In fact, it was a thought that shook Barce’s heart so much that it was just a passing thought, but he soon changed his mind.
Anyway, he wanted to know the truth in his own way.
In addition to that.
‘Firebird… … Firebird… … .’
Zhong Liquan only talked about his wife to that point and left.
Even when asked about the rest, Zhong Liquan said, ‘From now on, it would be better for you to find and confirm the names yourself rather than me telling you,’ and then disappeared.
Barche was curious as to why he was trapped in that labyrinth, but he was also unbearably curious about the story of Zhong Li Quan that he had told him not long ago.
Therefore, Barce, who had been looking at the wide Seogeumtaesan Mountain for a long time, soon sighed again and muttered.
“When on earth will I be able to find it?” … .”
Even though I try to calm down, my heart breaks every time I see the size of the mountain.
But soon after, Barce.
“I guess we should get started.”
Eventually, he began to search for his own name in earnest.
####
A few hours later.
“What, why don’t you say anything?”
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
“Even like this?”
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A man in a blue robe screaming like crazy in Lord Labyrinth’s office.
However, the man was just glaring at Kim Joo-hyuk with bloodshot eyes without saying a single word.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at him like that, spoke with a renewed expression of admiration.
“Wow, are you still not talking about this? “It’s really poisonous.”
He was once again impressed by the appearance of a man so harsh that Kim Joo-hyuk stuck out his tongue without realizing it.
At least in his life so far, Kim Joo-hyuk has never once failed to get the results he wanted from someone he directly worked on.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the man in blue with an expression that said he was truly amazing.
Cheong-ui faced Kim Joo-hyuk.
A very confident look in those eyes.
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded and thought as if he was really impressed.
‘What on earth is this guy?’
Is it Madara? A thought passed through Kim Joo-hyuk’s mind for a moment, but he couldn’t tell because the guy in front of him didn’t open his mouth at all.
“Hmm… … .”
However, Kim Joo-hyuk did not have any intention of doing any more harm to the man in front of him.
This was because Kim Joo-hyuk realized it through a physical conversation(?) a little while ago.
The fact that the man in front of me would never open his mouth no matter what he tried.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk was worried about the man who was tied up in front of him for a while.
“Then I guess I’ll stop here.”
I decided to give up on getting information from the man on my own.
Because right now, Kim Joo-hyuk had things to do other than harassing the man in front of him.
‘If I had Zhong Liquan, I would have been able to find out who this guy is.’
It’s really unfortunate that Zhong Liquan said that he would not provide any more help after taking Barce to West Jintai Mountain, so Kim Joo-hyuk decided not to obsess over him.
It’s good to have information, but it’s not good to rely too much on one person for everything.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk soon finished thinking.
‘I did it…’ with a determined expression. … I looked at the man with an expression that said ‘!’
“Now you guys do it.”
He immediately looked at his disciples and said so.
“!”

Looking at the man’s momentary startled expression, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled and spoke.
“That expression is as if you are suddenly giving up and asking why you are suddenly trying to control me again.”
The man’s pupils trembled a little at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
Looking at him like that, Kim Joo-hyuk spoke with a smile.
“I said I wouldn’t do it, but my students didn’t say they wouldn’t do it, right?”
With those words, the ruler behind the scenes, Burigamyeon, Tugui, and the Butcher began to drag him somewhere as if they had made a promise.
“Jukchang will stay for a while.”
As Kim Joo-hyuk continued, Jukchang, who had been following him, nodded and immediately returned to Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Is there something you would like me to do, Master?”
Jukchang asks in a quiet but serious tone.
Kim Joo-hyuk immediately asked.
“Do you know about Cheonak Mountain?”
“Cheonak Mountain… … “What do you mean?”
“okay. “Unlike the other guys, you’ve been out for a long time, so I was wondering if you heard anything.”
Jukchang seemed to be thinking deeply about Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“sorry. “I have been outside, but I don’t know much about Mt. Cheonak.”
“okay?”
“But, I think I could ask someone who might know about Mt. Cheonak.”
“Anyone worth asking?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk asked again, Jukchang nodded and spoke.
“I think we can ask Hwalju and Gwonju.”
“Oh, those guys?”
Kim Joo-hyuk answered like that and remembered Hwal-ju and Kwon-ju, who had done business with him in the past.
The two who said they would release them on the condition that they bring Zhong Liquan.
“But wasn’t the deal with those guys already over?”
Jukchang nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“you’re right. But we can still contact you. “I brought Zhong Liquan here last time and talked to him before I left.”
“what?”
“I will contact you often when I need help.”
“Then you can just ignore it and not receive it?”
Jukchang shook his head in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“no. “I will receive it unconditionally.”
“why?”
“We said that if you don’t accept it, we will chase you to the end of hell and destroy you.”
“… … Oh yeah.”
“I will contact you now.”
After hearing Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer and saying that, Jukchang immediately turned around and quickly moved away, and Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at him like that, was able to see Jukchang returning again shortly after.
“Did you find out?”
Jukchang nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“Yes, fortunately we both knew about Cheonaksan Mountain. but.”
“but?”
“Kwonju told me that going there wouldn’t be a good choice.”
“… … “What is the reason?”
“It is said that there are monsters living in Cheonaksan Mountain.”
“Youkai?”
“yes.”
“Do you think the monsters are very strong?”
Jukchang shook his head in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“The strength of each monster is different, but it is said that there are only a few that are strong enough to count on one hand.”
“… … “They are strong enough to be counted on one hand.”
“But more than that, the reason why I recommend not going to Cheonak Mountain is because monsters are constantly attacking you. “First of all, they said that once you go in, there will be no time to rest.”
Jukchang’s words reminded Kim Joo-hyuk of the guide’s words.
Although the next clue is at Mt. Cheonak, she clearly told the story and told us to be well prepared.
So, Kim Joo-hyuk thought about it for a while.
“Let’s go first. “Did you even ask for directions?”
It wasn’t long before I made a decision.
Anyway, the current Kim Joo-hyuk had nothing to prepare for.
Of course, if he had to prepare, he could have trained, but Kim Joo-hyuk did not do that.
‘There isn’t enough time for that.’
Currently, Kim Joo-hyuk doesn’t have that much free time.
“Yes, first of all, I have found the way to Mt. Cheonak. They say it’s not even that far from here.”
Jukchang’s words.
“It’s not bad. “Then let me know right away.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded and said so, and soon after, he started heading towards Cheonaksan Mountain.
####
Kim Joo-hyuk, past and present, hates being messed around.
Therefore, the moment he decided to go to Cheonaksan Mountain, he immediately left with only the amulet that showed Changju the path to Cheonaksan Mountain and the ‘compass’, the location of the designated path.
Exactly five days after Kim Joo-hyuk headed to his goal, he was able to arrive at Cheonaksan Mountain.
“… … .”
It may be surprising, but Kim Joo-hyuk was able to get a rough idea of what the world outside the labyrinth was like by wandering around for about 5 days before escaping from the labyrinth and reaching Cheonaksan Mountain.
Of course, he didn’t see a private house, but there were many interesting things to see outside the labyrinth that he couldn’t see inside.
For example, the rocks floating in the sky were like that.
Otherwise, the trees shining brightly in various colors were also amazing.
However, I can assure you that as soon as Kim Joo-hyuk arrived at Cheonaksan Mountain, he was under enough influence to blow them all away.
That’s right too.
“… … her.”
Cheonaksan Mountain was truly an incredibly huge mountain.
A mountain so high that it seems as if its top reaches the sky.
However, the reason Kim Joo-hyuk laughed more than that was because of the thick life that made his hands and feet tingle as soon as he entered the inside of Cheonaksan Mountain.
“Bwak-Bwak-Bwak-Bwak-”
In places where sunlight is blocked by old trees, monsters with bizarre appearances appear one by one.
Some monsters had their entire bodies covered in teeth.
Also, some monsters had grotesquely many arms.
Another monster was glaring at Kim Joo-hyuk from the ground with its glowing red eyes.
Other than that, on top of a tree or behind Kim Joo-hyuk.
Monsters appear everywhere.
They all exude a deadly spirit that seems as if they will crush Kim Joo-hyuk to death.
however.
Rather, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled in that situation.
“It’s too late to test your strength after finding the name-”
soon.
“-Not bad.”
Sigh!
I swung my sword.
