◈ Episode 252 The death that saves my life… (2)
“after.”
Kim Joo-hyuk had to recuperate at the bottom of the labyrinth without moving for about a week.
‘It seemed okay at first.’
When I returned to the labyrinth after using awakening for the first time, I felt that my body was able to move to some extent and thought that my condition was not as bad as I thought.
Maybe I can get back to my original state if I just rest for a day or two? To the extent that it is done.
However, the next day, Kim Joo-hyuk’s thoughts were completely shattered.
‘I really almost fell behind.’
It’s not a lie, it’s true, Kim Joo-hyuk suffered from such terrible pain that it almost made you realize how a person could die of shock from pain.
Do you suffer from intense pain when you move your body?
Okay, if that’s the case, just don’t move.
However, even though he was not moving his body and was just breathing, Kim Joo-hyuk suffered from terrible pain.
For two days… … !
After overcoming the two-day hardship, the pain gradually subsided and it was worth enduring, but for at least those two days, Kim Joo-hyuk was truly between life and death.
‘This is a seal.’
Kim Joo-hyuk decided to seal the awakening technology in this sword except under extreme circumstances.
At least the pain Kim Joo-hyuk felt was not just pain.
“after… … .”
As Kim Joo-hyuk sighed lightly, the guide, who had been sitting on the floor of the labyrinth a little while ago drawing something intently, looked back at him.
“Why are you sighing like that?”
“No, just… … “After being swayed by pain for a week, I sighed.”
“Well, you certainly made a fuss after using it in the past.”
“Wait, did you know that too?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, the guide nodded with an expression as if he was asking such a question again.
“Of course. Actually, I didn’t know that awakening was a function of that sword, but I remember you feeling aroused after using it a few times in the past.”
“Then let me give you some advice… … .”
“I didn’t know you could use Awakening in the first place.”
Kim Joo-hyuk kept his mouth shut at the guide’s words.
Obviously, since he didn’t really explain to the guide what he was going to do in the mandala, Kim Joo-hyuk kept his mouth shut as if he had nothing to say.
The guide looked at Kim Joo-hyuk and said.
“Come here quickly.”
“Are you done?”
Kim Joo-hyuk said that and confirmed the magic circle that the guide was currently working on.
What you see is a very large Jinsik drawn in the center of the Labyrinth Lord’s office.
And in the center, the leg that Kim Joo-hyuk brought out after entering the mandala was placed in the center of the Jinsik.
“Originally it would have taken a little longer than it does now, but I finished it faster than I thought.”
The guide who spoke while looking at Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at Jin-sik, immediately opened his mouth.
“Now, if you pour in your magic power and activate the true formula correctly, you will be able to go to Kalpa.”
“Kalpara… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to think about her words for a moment and then asked a question.
“But where on earth is that place called Kalpa?”
In fact, until now, Kim Joo-hyuk has no specific place called Kalpa. I didn’t care that much about it.
In the end, no matter where he was, what was important to Kim Joo-hyuk was the fact that he had to go to a place called Kalpa and find his name.
‘Besides, even if Kalpa is actually a shitty place, you have to go there.’
Even if it was a shitty place, he couldn’t not go if he had to find its name, so until now he wasn’t interested in exactly where Kalpa was and what it was like. But now that it was time to go, Kim Joo-hyuk felt his curiosity about Kalpa welling up. .
The guide told him to wait a moment and began pouring magic power into the magic circle.
Ugh-!
He took one look at the magic circle, which soon began to resonate with blue light, and then quickly looked away.
“Well, it looks like it will take some time before the door to Kalpa opens, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to talk in the meantime.”
The guide nodded once as he spoke, and then asked as if he was concluding the story.
“I’m asking in advance, but are you curious about where Kalpa is?”
“I’m curious about that, and I’m also curious about what Kalpa is like. If there is a dangerous place within that Kalpa, it’s okay to tell me about it.”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer, the guide nodded and spoke.
“First of all, let’s start with the conclusion: Kalpa is a place that is a little fundamentally different from here.”
“… … A place that is fundamentally different from here?”
“Yes, but honestly, if you talk about it like that, it’s really a headache, so to put it simply, just think of it as a different place from this place.”
“… … “Is it okay to understand that much?”
The guide nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“It’s that kind of relationship anyway, so right now you can go in.”
“… … “I’m worried about the backstory, but if it’s easier for you to understand it that way, then whatever.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded.
They say it’s easy to understand just that much, but it doesn’t seem like there’s a need to understand it in a complicated way.
The guide, with a satisfied expression on his face, continued his story.
“Then to continue the story, Kalpa is simply an examination center.”
“Examination center?”
“Okay, exam room. “Everyone who goes there in the first place gets tested by the guys inside.”
“What test?”
The guide shook his head in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.

“I don’t know that.”
“… … “You don’t know that?”
“Yes, I knew about Kalpa to begin with, but I had never entered it.”
“… … “Have I ever entered a Kalpa before?”
The guide nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“In the past, you entered the Kalpa. In the first place, you… … .”
“I am?”
The guide seemed to think about Kim Joo-hyuk’s question for a moment.
“No, it would be better to go in and listen to this in person.”
“You’re not telling me this?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk made a puzzled expression, the guide shook his head and answered.
“If I tell you exactly, it’s not that I won’t tell you, but anyway, if you go into Kalpa, you will be able to hear what I said a little more accurately than what I said. And there are even stories I don’t know. So, wait first.”
Guide’s words.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked a little dissatisfied, but then nodded as if he understood.
After some time had passed.
“done.”
Paaaa-!
Suddenly, along with the guide’s murmur, a bright blue light burst out from the camp.
That’s how it was created.
“… … Stone gate?”
A thick stone gate that looked a bit heavy was made on top of the Jinsik.
“You can go in there.”
A guide to opening your mouth.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the stone gate, nodded, and immediately opened the stone gate in the middle of the ceremony and closed it.
“Well then, goodbye.”
With the following words from the guide, Kim Joo-hyuk realized that he was being sucked into somewhere.
####
To put it bluntly, Barce was there until he came to Seogeumtaesan Mountain.
And when I was diligently searching for a name in Seogeumtaesan, I thought that this situation was not the worst.
Of course, it is a bit ambiguous to think of it as the worst, because Barce’s current search for a name in Seogeumtaesan Mountain was certainly difficult, but it was also rewarding in its own way.
First of all, if he only gets his name back from this Seogeumtaesan Mountain, he can get his name back along with his memories.
And if he regained his name, he would be able to understand why he was in that labyrinth, so although this life was a little difficult for Barce, it was not the worst.
Moreover, it has even improved to some extent recently.
It was because of a woman who appeared in front of him about a week ago.
She introduced herself as Bong (鳳) and said that she and Barce had known each other for a long time and had a very special relationship in their own way.
Barce reunited with Bong, who said he knew him, and together with her, he began to search for the name on Mt. Seogeumtaesan.
Of course, that doesn’t mean Barce didn’t doubt her.
In any case, even if she knew Barce, Barce did not remember her at all.
But eventually, after a while, those doubts were bound to disappear.
That’s right, because she was very helpful in finding Barce’s name!
As soon as I started looking for the name with her, Barce’s speed around the mountain became much faster than before.
Basically, while Barce walked around and checked the surroundings, she was able to quickly check the area by flying in the sky.
Plus she was quite friendly.
Of course, I decided to talk about the past after I got a name, but other than that, it was flawless.
In short, it may be a bit funny, but Barce became quite close to her in just a week.
Moreover, Barce was basically not oblivious like everyone else, but noticed it right away.
The fact that the girl he is currently with is secretly sending him signs… … !
Yes, if you look at it up to that point, it was a very good story.
It was a good story… … .
Grumble! Wow!
“Let go, bitch!”
“Leave it alone!!”
bang! Kwakagak! bang!
“… … .”
Barce looked at the devastation before his eyes.
Seogeumtaesan Mountain was clearly a rocky mountain.
All you can see is a mountain with nothing but rocks.
But what about now?
Grumble!
The mountain was on fire.
There was definitely nothing worth burning on this mountain.
In the beginning, all there was on this mountain were rocks.
However, despite this, the mountain was burning really spectacularly.
At the center.
There were just two women pulling each other’s hair and releasing magical energy in all directions.
Two women fighting like crazy, staring at each other as if they were going to kill each other at any moment.
It was definitely not a bad atmosphere until just now, but suddenly another woman fell from the sky and started fighting with Dajjagojja Bong.
Barce knew why the two were fighting.
The reason is that.
“Where are you hitting your tail! “Where are you hitting your tail?”
“That’s my heart, bitch! “Why do you keep saying this!”
Because of yourself.
Just by hearing the two of them tearing each other’s hair out, Barce could easily tell that they were fighting because of him.
“Do you think anything will change if you do this now!? Do you think there is! “If he finds your name in the first place, you’re done!”
“What nonsense! Why would you say something like that when you were all alone hundreds of years ago? Even if you find your name, you are already nothing!”
Soon, through the conversation between the two, Barce was able to realize.
If you find your name in this golden mountain, you will realize that you have to participate as the main protagonist in a story that can be seen as a comedy from a distance, and maybe even a little funny.
so that.
“… … “Don’t look for the name.”
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Barce truly thought so as he looked at the rising flames.
