Episode 690 Labyrinth ‘Border of the Horizon’ (3)
“Wow!”
Pesis frantically gathered monsters to create a gap.
Since I had to somehow open the way to the altar, I had no choice but to overdo it.
“Shhh!”
“Shhh!”
The snakes chased Pesis like crazy.
[The relic ‘Pied Piper’ – ‘Gutter Procession’ is activated!] A
pungent scent spread out as it cooed.
It was a special ability that charmed the target and made them follow.
The advantage is that it also works on fairly high-level monsters. Instead, it had the disadvantage that the ferocity and attack power of enemies that smelled this scent increased by up to 30%.
It’s kind of a double-edged sword.
Nevertheless, the reason this game of tag is maintained is thanks to the dedicated weapons.
Pesis fluttered as lightly as a feather.
At first glance, it looked like a light walk, but he strode more than 5 meters at a time.
Grumble!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Volcanic bombs and ancient flames rained down at random.
“Pfft!”
Pesis quickly extinguished the fire on his arm.
A fairly severe burn was visible.
Thick!
Terrible pain.
My nerves are screaming.
As each minute and second passed, the number of wounds on the body increased.
“Fuck. Damn. Damn.”
2The chicken also did not want to let Pesis’ precious sacrifice go in vain.
I did my best to find a way to the altar and cut down more than a dozen apostles.
however.
Their number actually increased even more than before. The siege net had become much tighter.
The apostles of Yomaganto grasped the pattern of Pesis and 2 Chickens and pushed forward more keenly and sharply.
There is no way out now.
The only way for a cornered rat is to slowly burn to death in a furnace.
…It’s over.
From the beginning, there was no way to win in Yomaganto’s hunting game.
That’s when I realized that all my efforts were just futile efforts.
A strange thing happened.
[Immortal Puppeteer’s ‘Opera of the Created’ is activated!]
[Shadow Massacre ‘Attack in the Dark’ is activated!]
Come on!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Two flashes of light penetrated from different sides.
“I had a hard time holding on. Yes.”
“My lord told me to help.”
It was Frey and Wolyoung.
***
like that.
Everyone’s help and sincerity came together to produce one fruitful result.
The result is this.
[An urgent parcel package has arrived from operator ‘2 Chickens per Person’.]
[Would you like to open it? Y/N]
The purple status window blinked.
An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk’s pupils.
Finally…
the mission was completed on the other side.
“I believed it.”
Jinhyuk immediately took out the clues to the Necronomicon that he had collected so far. These were all cards of conversion prepared for this time.
‘It’s finally starting.’
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
My heart is beating fast.
The Tower of Trials appeared and many things have happened.
Joy, anger and sorrow.
Both happy and sad. There were many happy and painful times, but it was all to achieve one goal.
The top of the tower.
A place for stars who have nowhere to go beyond the 50th floor. To see that lonely and beautiful scenery.
No longer a virtual game and no longer alone.
I will have to reach that place with the people I cherish.
And the Necronomicon…
…was the greatest means necessary to reach the top of the tower.
Ugh!
With bright light.
Thin threads were connected between the existing clues.
[Relics react to each presence!]
Parts…!
Purple threads radiated beautiful brilliance and gathered toward one point.
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
…over there.
*
“Huh heeik?”
Only after the situation had happened did the gardener realize what was causing all this.
They didn’t get lost and come here.
Especially not to obtain mediocre relics or items.
Necronomicon.
I was trying to find the location of the banned book on the 50th floor.
“How can you believe that the book was here?”
The gardener hurriedly got up from his seat.
I thought dealing with enemies that got on my nerves was everything, but now, keeping a beautiful garden and protecting my pride were all secondary priorities.
The purple light was continuing rapidly at this very moment.
Although his mind was all mixed up in confusion, he did not forget the role he had to play.
“Get up, get up… I’m me!”
The scissors the gardener was holding were slammed into the ground.
[The guardian of the labyrinth responds to the call of the labyrinth master.]
Each labyrinth has its own guardian deity that guards the labyrinth.
of course.
Even in the ancient garden located on the border of the horizon, there was a being that played that role.
[‘The Judge of Repulsion’ appears!]
Wooooow!
“Koooooo!”
A knight whose entire body is covered in huge armor.
The great sword made of cloud iron and holy relics and the shield made of iron were like looking at one huge Mount Tai.
A dreary glow rose from between the helmets.
Go, go, go!
“…This.”
“Is this game about to begin?”
“Strong. That enemy.”
“It’s pretty good. For a small object.”
Each member who faced the judge of repulsion said something.
Even at a glance, it has an unusual energy.
The pride of defeating countless enemies could be felt in the black armor engraved with ancient languages.
[Fear resistance is activated!]
[Attack and defense increase by 2800%.]
[The entire labyrinth moves to protect the guardian.]
As the status windows increase, the energy flowing from the Judge’s body increases exponentially. It got thicker.
“Hee hee… hehe. Ugh. Kill them all.”
The gardener took a deep breath.
As he is a guardian who woke up by squeezing out the nutrients stored in his body. I was looking forward to seeing the end for sure this time.
and.
The Judge of Repulsion possessed sufficient abilities to live up to the expectations.
[The guardian of the labyrinth activates the special skill ‘Labyrinth Guardian’!]
[The ancient power ‘Whispering Garden’ is now open!]
Damn it!
Whoops!
Flowers the size of a house were torn out from between the plants that formed the wall.
Four pairs of leaves spread out to the left and right, and the thin stamens inside stood out.
Gurgling!
Black water began to flood. In the air, strangely shaped bugs that I had never seen before flew in groups.
Everything in the garden became hostile and began to fight against the intruder.
“Have you found the location of the book?”
Cheon Yu-seong stood next to Jin-hyuk.
“Yeah. It’s not far from here.”
Jinhyuk nodded and looked in one direction.
A mysterious magical power that had not been felt before was flowing from the place indicated by the clues.
The Necronomicon is right there.
‘There’s only one step left.’
A feeling of foreignness, as if it were not of this world.
Goosebumps appear all over my body.
Memories of the past stirred and a feeling like ants crawling through my blood vessels spread throughout my body.
“Just by looking at that perverted expression, you can tell that the goal is just around the corner.”
“Hey… do you always say things like that?”
“I just told it like it is. To be honest, if you asked anyone, I bet they would have given you the same answer.”
“Anyway, he’s a guy I can’t get along with.”
“Stop talking nonsense, I’ll take care of this, so go get the book.”
Sreung!
The white snow flowing through the ‘white night’ gradually became thicker.
“Oh… Our Yoosung is strong? What’s going on? Are you the first to do everything?”
I’m a little touched.
Of course, even if he didn’t step forward, he planned to use it in the end, but seeing the slave step forward voluntarily warmed a corner of his heart.
but.
Right now, we can’t just leave it to Cheon Yu-seong or the rest of the members.
Because ‘Judge of Repulsion’ boasts invincibility, at least within this garden.
Then…
Jinhyuk pulled out a book from the library stored in the world’s memory.
No matter how powerful an enemy is, each has its own compatibility.
This labyrinth also has only one common power.
‘light’.
It does not mean divine power, but the power of pure sun and heat.
Naturally, the ones who control the most power in the Tower of Trials are the ‘Egyptian Gods’ on the 42nd floor.
“Let’s see.”
We found a combination that would create the best synergy in this situation.
[The unique ability ‘Sun Sanctuary’ is activated!]
[The unique ability ‘System Manipulation’ is activated!]
[Desertification is taking place in the ‘Border of the Horizon’!]
White sandy beaches and an oasis appear above the golden sanctuary. It unfolded.
As the ancient garden and the desert collided, a collision occurred between landscape and landscape.
“….”
The Judge of Repulsion was wary of the pouring light.
Jinhyeok opened his mouth to the gardener who was out of sight in the distance.
“Stop hiding, come out before they turn this whole place into a desert.”
Now, due to ‘system manipulation’, the abilities of the field conditions ‘Sun Sanctuary’ and ‘Desert’ have risen to the maximum.
The opportunity has come to bring out the ability to maximize compatibility with Labyrinth.
[The judgment of Anubis is activated!]
The questions and answers from now on will be a little different from usual.
***
Slurp sound!
A being with a terrible appearance rose from the mud.
Multiple claws on the face.
An unknown liquid continued to leak out of its strangely shaped mouth.
That guy is the ‘Gardener’, the owner of this labyrinth.
And next to it, a familiar face was seen, trying hard to avoid eye contact.
Foot odor… no, it’s ‘Balseter’.
and. I never thought I’d see that guy here again.
The words that the Tower of Trials is wide and narrow were very real.
“Ah, you’re putting on a wreath because you really want to die. Not only are you coveting their books, but you’re also trying to ruin my resting place?”
The gardener could not control his anger and continued to yell.
A garden that is gradually turning into a desert.
Watching the place he loved being destroyed made him feel like all his love was gone.
‘You couldn’t possibly be doing it knowingly, right?’
In normal times, no matter how much the desert sandstorm blew, there would be no way for something like desertification to occur.
However, awakening the judge of repulsion. Paradoxically, the moment you use Labyrinth Protection is when the garden becomes most vulnerable.
With all of our capabilities invested in eliminating intruders, this was the only moment when we had a loophole in our defenses.
“I love looking at the stars from the top of the tower, but the rotten water on the 50th floor is piling up and you don’t want to make room for me? So I have no choice but to buy a book and try to get rid of that heavy ass. It’s a good plan, right? ”
“Fu hahaha! Huh, that’s all nonsense. You’re going to go to the top of the tower?”
“Well, we’ll just have to wait and see whether it’s nonsense or not. By the way, this garden is just dirty and I can’t decorate it so I need to do some remodeling. Tsk tsk. Very sensible… I’ll decorate it especially in my own style. What do you think?”
“Go, go, go, how dare you look at someone’s garden and say they can’t decorate it! W, if you touch even one more hair here, know that it will be your memorial day.”
[The first and second questions were passed.]
Oh!
It’s something different as it’s been a while since I’ve been asked three questions.
There are many restrictions in the upper middle class, so I can’t use it. There was a situation where all the mats had to be laid.
Jinhyuk asked the third question to the gardener, who was seething.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I guess I spoke too harshly. I’d like to give you some ‘screaming nutrition water’ as an apology, but do you think you’ll forgive me for that?”
“…What? Is that real?”
The gardener’s mouth fell open.
The dream spring water provides the best nutrients to the countless plants on the 50th floor. Of course, when he said he would give it to him, his eyes rolled back. To
say it was a lie, he even knew the exact name. It didn’t make sense.
“Are you sure it’s true? Of course it’s a lie.”
I’m not Nyarlathotep.
How can I get nutritious water, which is difficult to find even on the 50th floor?
“Ugh… Ugh…”
The gardener bursts into laughter. I grabbed the back of his neck while biting him.
It’s fun to lift that guy up and down, but the game ends here.
[The third question has been passed.]
Against the judge of repulsion.
[‘Guardians of the royal family’ appear!]
That’s it. The elites of the desert who can stand against have been summoned.
