◈ Episode 241: What is the Labyrinth Jewel? (One)
[Tell me, what are you, unknown?]
Kim Joo-hyuk soon realized that the voice was his memory, and soon he turned his gaze to look at the memory that came to mind.
The first thing that comes to mind is the scenery.
The scenery I saw this time was not inside a mountain somewhere like last time, but inside a huge building.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at the surroundings at the sight of red wooden floors and luxurious murals painted on the walls as if this was a temple, soon turned his gaze and saw the man standing in front of him.
A man wearing very flashy armor.
In the man’s right hand was a short sword, and a very hot flame was burning on the sword.
And he was asking Kim Joo-hyuk once again.
[I will ask again. Nameless, what are you?]
[If you can’t answer, let me ask you another question. You gave up everything and came here, what on earth did you come here for? strength? honor? wisdom? Or is it because of desire?]
Questions poured out to an unknown person.
Kim Joo-hyuk wanted to hear what he was saying, but unfortunately, Kim Joo-hyuk couldn’t hear what he said in his memory.
No matter how hard you tried to listen, your voice wasn’t filtered, it just didn’t sound like you had never spoken from the beginning.
However, even so, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to understand his inaudible words to some extent.
That’s because the man’s reaction was consistently consistent.
[Huh, if you’ve come this far, there must be something you want to achieve, so why on earth do you say there isn’t anything? Do you think that makes sense? This place where you are now is not a place where a mortal like you could come.]
[But look at you now. Didn’t you now give up your name and your nothingness to come to this Kalpa? Then, there must be something you want.]
[O ignorance, you who through your foolishness have abandoned even your original name, and have been able to reach this Kalpa because of your foolishness. Tell me what you want.]
[This is to me, the Cow-headed Heavenly King, who manages Kalpa.]
The words of a man, or rather, King Wudu.
Kim Joo-hyuk in my memory seemed to be thinking about something and then said something.
Soon King Wuducheon heard Kim Joo-hyuk’s words and stared at him for a while.
[under.]
[Hahahahahahahaha!!!]
Soon after hearing Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, he started laughing like crazy.
[good night! If you’ve reached this point on the topic of mortals, you must have that level of spirit! cancer! That spirit! Very great!! Then go up, to the place where you want!]
He soon said that and created a staircase in front of Kim Joo-hyuk.
The stairs looked so long that I had no idea where they were leading.
and.
[Okay, then go up somewhere. ‘ascetic’!]
At the end of King Wuducheon’s words,
“… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk realized that his memory was over.
####
The last peak of Cheonaksan Mountain, where all the monsters are fighting to kill each other.
“… … .”
There, Bulgari thought of Kim Joo-hyuk, who left at the same time as saying a light hello to him earlier.
“That’s fascinating.”
I muttered like that.
At least as far as Bulgari knew, he had lost his memories and was in the process of regaining them.
In short, the person he met before and the person he is now are actually different people.
Nevertheless.
‘It’s surprisingly similar.’
Bulgari was staring at the place he went down, thinking that the person he was before and the person he is now are surprisingly similar.
Meanwhile.
Tsk.
Bulgari felt a sign of presence behind him and immediately turned around to check its presence and couldn’t help but frown.
“It’s been a while.”
A man with a very bloated body that does not match his Buddhist priest’s attire.
Bulgari knew that man, so he muttered with an overtly uncomfortable expression.
“Mandala… … .”
The man opened his mouth, still smiling, at the inexplicable muttering.
“So, have you thought about it?”
“… … “What are you talking about?”
“Didn’t I suggest it last time too?”
“… … “Are you suggesting that I don’t help him, even though it will save his life?”
Mandala still smiled and nodded in response to Bulgari’s question.
“I remember it well.”
“… … “It is a very peaceful proposal to be made by those who tried to persecute and exterminate us in the past.”
“It’s definitely incredible. But even so, it’s real this time. “If you join hands with our Mandala, we will no longer target you.”
“Where is the basis for that?”
“Because the prophet said so.”
At the man’s words, Bulgari turned its gaze and looked at the man.
Even though the man in front of her was her enemy, Bulgari clearly knew one thing about the man’s characteristics.
The fact is that none of the stories that come out of the man’s mouth about the ‘prophet’ are lies.
Of course, she hadn’t talked to him many times, but thanks to the fanaticism he harbored, Bulgari was able to guess that part without difficulty.
“… … .”

However, even though it realized that what he said was not a lie, the Bulgari did not respond to the man’s words.
How much silence passed like that?
The man who had been looking at him the whole time smiled and spoke.
“Well, there is still time until our prophet comes, so let’s think about it until then. If it is not easy to give an answer, it is okay to remain silent. Even the prophet said he would understand just that much.”
The man said that and then slammed the stone he was holding on the floor.
Cheolgrug-
At the same time, a sound is heard and Jin begins to appear around him.
Looking at that scene, Bulgari broke the silence and spoke.
“Do you think we will be silent?”
“… … like.”
The man, smiling as if he was very amused by Bulgari’s words, opened his mouth.
“I completely understand what you are saying, but if I were to give you one piece of advice, it would be better not to make such provocations.”
“… … .”
“But if you give me an honest answer to that question, even though it was actually the Prophet who said that, I’m okay with it.”
“what… … ?”
“That’s literally it, I’m fine with it. It’s okay for you to be silent, and it’s also okay for you to actively answer me. Because it will be done according to the prophet’s will. but-”
As the Jinbeop glowed a little brighter, the man spoke.
“Rather, it’s better if it doesn’t happen that way.”
“… … .”
“It doesn’t really matter to me if you reject our offer and take his side. Even if that happens, our actions will not change. “On the day the Prophet comes, our mandala will color this world with our ideas and become a major axis of the world.”
The man spoke while looking at the firefly.
“In the process of becoming one of the great pillars, your existence is actually just an annoying stone that blocks the path, and has no more meaning.”
“… … .”
Bulgari blatantly frowns at the man’s words.
However, the man smiled when he saw the sight of Bulgari.
“Anyway, this Buddhist man even told me this story himself, so I hope you make the right choice, youkai. It doesn’t matter to me anyway, but it doesn’t seem to be the case for our prophet.”
After saying that, the man immediately activated his power by hitting the stone head once more and disappeared from the spot.
“… … .”
Bulgari immediately looked at the place where the man had disappeared and looked at it with an uncomfortable expression on its face for a while.
“I guess I don’t have much time to decide.”
Soon I muttered that.

As soon as Kim Joo-hyuk gained his memories, he left Cheonaksan Mountain and began moving toward the labyrinth.
It lasted like that for 3 days.
Kim Joo-hyuk is reminded of the fact that he is returning to the labyrinth a little faster than when he went to Mt. Cheonak.
“after… … .”
I once again recalled the memory I had at Mt. Cheonak a few days ago.
‘What am I… … la.’
There were about three clues that Kim Joo-hyuk was able to obtain from that memory.
One is that the place where Kim Joo-hyuk was in my memory was a place called ‘Kalpa’.
Next, Kim Joo-hyuk was called an ‘ascetic’.
And finally, the question asked by King Uducheon, ‘Who am I?’
However, unfortunately, even though Kim Joo-hyuk continued to think while returning to the labyrinth for the past three days, he was unable to find any significant answer.
‘No, is it possible to find the correct answer in the first place?’
Kim Joo-hyuk tsk and clicked his tongue.
No matter how many times I thought about it, no matter how many times I replayed that memory, there was nothing I could gain from it.
The only thing that can be obtained is that Kim Joo-hyuk of the past said something to King Uducheon and became an ascetic and at the same time ascended somewhere.
Other than that, I couldn’t remember or know anything else.
“Hmm… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk thought about that and lowered his gaze to look at the pure white sword.
The color of the scabbard is pure white, just like the sword.
Kim Joo-hyuk stared at the pure white sword that Bulgari handed over, saying it was originally yours, and then immediately grabbed it.
“… … .”
The feel of the sword fit strangely well in Kim Joo-hyuk’s hand, like the village sword he had been holding for 300 years.
Feeling that, Kim Joo-hyuk once again thought that this sword must be his, and thought about what he should do next.
‘Then the next place we should go is a place called Kalpa.’
Kalpa.
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t really know anything about Kalpa.
‘Even if you ask Bulgari about Kalpa right away, he doesn’t seem to know much about it.’
I asked for other information, but Bulgari said that he had nothing to say because he had not heard anything other than handing over the sword.
In short, in the end, the only place Kim Joo-hyuk has to go to get his next name is Kalpa.
‘… … First, I’ll have to look into Kalpa a little bit.’
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk decided to set Kalpa as his next destination and walked steadily to return to the labyrinth.
Kim Joo-hyuk was able to return to the labyrinth after walking for a few more days.
“Are you the new Labyrinth Master of Labyrinth No. 5?”
I could see a man standing in front of his labyrinth, and a little boy standing behind the man with an infinitely playful expression.
“however?”
Let Kim Joo-hyuk say that.
“I am the spirit of the mind, the labyrinth master of labyrinth number 4. Give me my men. “If you don’t give up my men now.”
The 4th labyrinth owner soon introduced herself as a ghost spirit.
“I declare war on Labyrinth 5!”
He appeared out of nowhere and started threatening Kim Joo-hyuk.
