◈ Episode 260. Unexpected Gain (2)
Recently, the master behind the scenes realized that his abilities were weaker than he thought.
Ability to manipulate space.
In fact, this ability itself was an ability with a lot of potential, and if used well, it was an ability that could easily overwhelm the abilities of others.
However, unfortunately, her abilities did not work properly outside.
‘Even though I say this, your ability is only half. The reason is a bit complicated to explain, but would you like to hear it?’
The ruler behind the scenes recalled the conversation he had with the guide.
‘I want to tell you clearly because I want to hear from you. Your ability is inherently very strong. In the first place, the ability to manipulate space is something that only those who have fully enlightened can master.’
‘But even though you are not that strong, you have the ability to control space. It is not like your talent, it is just an ability that was created by miraculously mixing various abilities at random in the labyrinth that the Labyrinth Master created to his liking.’
‘The source of the ability to bloom inside the labyrinth comes from the tree the labyrinth owner grows. So, in short, you were incredibly lucky.’
‘Of course, this is the same for other students, including you, but most of the abilities used by others are close to the original source, and are not created by mixing various abilities like you.’
‘… … What, you don’t understand? Well, to put it simply, your original ability is a skill that cannot exist. So, even if you try to use it outside the labyrinth, you won’t be able to use it as perfectly as you would inside the labyrinth.’
‘… … Actually, I didn’t think you would understand it all at once, so just keep it simple and just go to the place I told you to and get the ball. Then everything will be resolved.’
“… … .”
She recalled what the guide had said and looked at the ball floating in front of her.
A gem emitting blue light floating in the middle of a huge altar.
It was definitely the empty prison that the guide had talked about.
Gongok is just floating in the middle of the altar, as if asking me to take him with me.
The ruler behind him gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to the prison once again.
Pot-!
The moment the ruler behind the scenes reached out to the empty prison, she was suddenly transported not to the foundation, but to one of the empty mountains.
The ruler behind the scenes looked blank for a moment.
“Ugh… … !”
Without realizing it, I clenched my teeth and made an expression filled with infinite anger.
That was because it was not the first time she had been like this in front of Gongok.
Exactly 48 times.
She gritted her teeth unconsciously as she remembered that the number of times she had been taken to strange places while trying to catch Gong-ok was approaching fifty.
‘How on earth can I catch it?!’
She closed her eyes tightly, remembering the empty ball floating in the middle of the foundation as if she were trying to grab it.
‘I thought it was easy and I liked it until I first came here.’
As if she wanted to crush the hopes of the ruler behind her, Gongok kept sending the ruler she was trying to pick up somewhere.
Sometimes snowy mountains.
Sometimes, they were thrown into volcanoes with boiling magma.
Sometimes in a desert without a single blade of grass.
There were also times when I was thrown into the middle of the sea.
And thanks to that, she has now reached the point where there is no place she hasn’t been to.
‘… … ‘I want to give up.’
A thought popped into her mind at that moment.
It was a natural thought that came to her mind as she had tried everything she could and it took her a long time to get back to the altar due to her inability to use her spatial abilities properly, but the ruler behind her immediately shook her head.
In the end, if she gave up in her current state, it would be like saying she couldn’t be of help to her teacher.
Moreover, most of the stories the guide told her were incomprehensible to her, but there were certainly some that appealed to her.
‘Hmm, I know that if you get a public prison, you can go to very interesting places. Oh, you think I can just go? No, you can only go there if you can use spatial abilities.’
‘Anyway, to continue the story, among the places where you can go to the public prison, there is a place called Aewol, a space that was left behind by a certain Hwashin in the past without anyone knowing. The characteristic of that space is that the woman who enters it, regardless of whether she is ugly or not, appears to be the most ideal woman in the eyes of men.’
‘what? Isn’t that a lie? Why would I lie about something like this? It’s a lie that will be caught if you bring the public prison in the first place.’
‘Anyway, there are many other places where men and women can go together and make happy memories. As long as there is an empty prison.’
The ruler behind the scenes is recalling the memory of the guide who spoke while looking at him with a meaningful expression.
She finished thinking like that.
‘… … This is not because of Aewol. In order to help the teacher, to help the teacher, you absolutely need a public prison.’
Soon, with that promise in his mind, he began to take on another challenge to obtain public prison.

Three days after the Sanjeo group attacked the labyrinth.
Kim Joo-hyuk.
“ugh… … .”
I was experiencing very terrible pain due to the side effects of awakening.
Of course, unlike when I first used Awakening, just breathing didn’t make me feel as if my whole body was being torn apart in pain.
‘Still, I think I’ll fall behind… … !’
Nevertheless, the pain was so painful that his mouth dropped open, so Kim Joo-hyuk was lying on a hard stone instead of a bed, trying to keep his body as still as possible.
“But it’s still better than last time.”
Kim Joo-hyuk was about to turn his head when he heard a voice coming soon.
“Turn it off”
He felt pain that brought tears to his eyes, and he quickly turned his gaze to see the guide walking towards him.
“… … “Why don’t you come into line of sight and talk if possible?”
“Sorry, I made a mistake. Still, it really seems to be in better condition than before? “Last time, around this time, I just kept rolling around.”
“… … It’s definitely better than last time. Yes, compared to last time.”
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned unconsciously as he recalled the memory from last time, and then he turned his gaze to the guide again and spoke.
“So, what happened to that?”
“ax?”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded and recalled a few days ago.

When he was exhausted from the overwhelming sense of exhaustion after dealing with a group of Sanjeos, the guide looked at the ax the Sanjeo leader was holding and said that it was a helpful item.
At that time, Kim Joo-hyuk asked what kind of help the ax could be, but the guide withheld the answer, so he asked as if he was curious.
“Yeah, you said last time that you would only say that it would be helpful and that you would tell me the rest later, right?”
The guide answered Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“It was like that. “At the time, I had a clear idea that it would be helpful, but I had to find out if it was true.”
“so?”
The guide smiled and spoke to that question.
“I’m sure, that ax will help us. “To be exact, the blade of that ax is helpful.”
“What is that… … ?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide smiled bitterly.
“If we have that, we can bury the entire place where Sanjeo is.”
I soon conveyed those words to Kim Joo-hyuk.

It is said that Seogeumtaesan Mountain was not originally a rocky mountain with nothing in it, but a very rich place where you could fully feel the energy of nature.
But what is Seogeumtaesan like now?
There is not a single forest to be found.
In addition, it is difficult to find even a single tree or blade of grass, and all you see is dry weeds.
And it’s very, very recent.
To be more specific, when Barce arrived at Seogeumtaesan Mountain to find his name.
No, to be more specific, when Bong suddenly appeared, introducing himself as an old acquaintance of Barche’s.
… … no,
In addition, a few days later, when a woman suddenly appeared, calling herself Lord, the appearance of Seogeumtaesan was gradually changing.
Boom!
Red flames explode in front of Barce’s eyes.
Along with that, a huge hole opened up, as if a moth had eaten away at the side of the mountain.
At the same time, the mountain peak directly opposite Barce blows away with a huge explosion.
“die!”
“You die!”
What is heard with him is Barche, who is currently… … No, it was their voice that I had been listening to for weeks.
‘hmm.’
Apparently, the women who first called themselves Bong and Joo started fighting fiercely as soon as they met each other.
Barce’s first thought as he saw the pillar of flame rising and flames exploding in all directions was fear.
And when the fight ended, Barce first stopped them, even putting off finding his own name.
But useless.
As soon as Barce intervened, they suddenly started fighting with strange words like ‘Why are you taking that girl’s side?’ and then started fighting among themselves once again.
Barce, who had given up trying to stop the fight between the two, made a quick decision.
Just when those two are fighting amongst themselves, they move their bodies subtly and look for their names.
But surprisingly, when Barce tried to sneak away, the two would detect it like ghosts and come back, spewing out words that Barce, who had not yet regained his memory, could not understand at all.
But what’s even funnier is that the words that clearly started as a criticism of Barce eventually escalated into a fight between the two.
Even if you try to stop them, they fight.
Even if you just try to sneak away, they fight.
Even after the fight is over, they just quietly watch the situation and then fight.
They fight like crazy, as if they’re not even tired.
To the point where it’s ridiculous.
That’s why Barce ultimately chose in that situation.
“… … “The sky is clear.”
It was just liberation.
Barche has already realized this through several experiments.
Anyway, I know that I have absolutely no power to stop those two from fighting.
That’s why Barce so neatly gave up on stopping the fight between the two, and had been just watching the fight between the two mindlessly.
No, actually, at this point, I started to become curious about Barce as well.
It makes me wonder why these two start fighting just by saying a single word.
Barce was truly curious as to what kind of spirit he was in just watching the situation unfold like this.
And just like that, Barche watched the fight between the two without thinking, and the mountain around them began to slowly crumble and disappear due to their fight.
“?”
Barce was able to find the name inside the shattered mountain.
