[Special quest starts]

[First wave starts.]

[Wave start: 12 hours.]

[Defense area: North, South, East, West based on City Hall

.] [Kill all enemies and

protect City Hall .

]

[Depending on your performance, you will receive differential compensation when you return to the labyrinth.]

The quest hit them. The noisy discussion of Taesan’s punishment had to be stopped.

It was a very fortunate thing for Hwiyeon. It’s a story that you don’t have to make noise anymore.

But it wasn’t long before I realized that it wasn’t so much fun.

Frightened people came.

“The monsters are coming, what should I do

?”

“I’m in Easy Mode, so I want to wait inside.”

“me too!”

Those who fear battle and try to run away. In the meantime, the one who wants to take command. Those who refuse to fight and wait for everything to end inside.

Numerous humans clamored loudly for their desires. Hwiyeon gritted her teeth and told them one by one.

“Everyone, be quiet!”

A momentary silence came at the loud voice

.

she touched her forehead Members of the National Assembly and representatives of civic groups, who spoke as if they knew everything, hid themselves for a long time, perhaps because they did not want to take responsibility.

‘Am I going to end up taking over?’

She gave orders step by step with a dejected smile.

Taesan watched the scene from a park far away.

‘I’ll take care of myself.’

he can’t help Interfering would only add to the confusion and fear of him.

In the past, she eventually led and succeeded, so it will be the same this time.

he turned his head.

“Are you here?”

“yes.”

The young boy answered calmly. Next to the boy, a woman appears hesitantly.

Taeyeon Lee. and Junhyeok Kang.

Taesan stared blankly at their faces. Earlier, I was busy dealing with Choi Joong-hyeok, so I couldn’t take a closer look.

Junhyeok Kang was still young. He said he was seventeen now, so his face was just right for his age. It was an overall impression.

and Taeyeon Lee.

Taesan looked at her quietly.

She had a youthful look.

I’m not talking about wrinkles on the face. Since their time has stopped, her biological age will be the same now and at the end.

Rather, it was a story of atmosphere.

It was just fresh, without the signs of

old age or tiredness like back then .

“Uh…

Lee Taeyeon scratched her head at her gaze. Junhyeok Kang laughed shyly.

“hello. brother.”

“hi.”

“It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it. Thank you in advance.”

“Are you thanking the murderer?”

“You became like that because you saved us.”

Junhyeok Kang shrugged.

“There, I live in a place like that, but now I don’t care about people dying.”

“Looking behind you, it doesn’t seem like it.”

Lee Tae-yeon showed signs of being afraid of Tae-san. Junhyeok Kang smiled bitterly.

“Because each person is different.”

I roughly guessed it from the story of the community, but Kang Jun-hyeok was strong in spirit. There was nothing new about Lee Tae-yeon. Because she was close to a coward.

“Are the hostages all right?”

“Because of your brother, everyone got scared and ran away.”

Junhyeok Kang looked at Taesan with admiration.

It is truly monstrous strength. While listening to the story, I expected it to be strong to some extent, but I never imagined it would work to this extent.

Taesan shrugged.

“So what?”

” yes?”

“Weren’t you two talking about this and that

?”

Junhyeok Kang smiled.

“You knew.”

“It’s obvious what you guys are talking about.”

Joonhyuk Kang and Taeyeon Lee. The two met in person and talked about various things, most of which were about Mount Tai.

what he looks like and what kind of person he is. about that kind of thing.

“How do you feel?”

“…You’re younger than I thought.” The one who

saw through everything who went through all the prenatal battles

. I thought he would be over 30, but he seemed to be in his mid-twenties at most.

“Are you older…

“How old are you?”

“I’m twenty-five.”

“It will be like you.”

“Hey…

Lee Taeyeon’s voice seemed to be magical. Even though I was the same age as her, there was such a big difference. Naturally, I couldn’t help but be curious about Taesan’s past.

“May I ask what you did on Earth?”

“You went to work, what would you have been doing?”

“What was that thing about chasing people?”

Taesan smiled.

“It’s just normal.”

Jung-geun was relieved to see that Tae-san looked so ordinary.

“phew. To be honest, I thought he might be an eccentric person, but I’m glad he did.”

I had no choice but to worry because it was a common occurrence in creative works and real life for a unique first person to be eccentric .

I was also worried that they might kill me for being in the way.

He threw a burden on his heart and greeted him once more.

“Thank you again.”

“Me too.”

“Thank you.”

Taesan looked at Lee Taeyeon again. she flinched.

“Why do you look like that?”

Taesan didn’t answer.

An item that turns time. The gastrolith of Urboros.

Did she not use it or did she not use it?

It must be a question she cannot answer now. The time in the labyrinth is the time to completely change a person, so she herself would not know how she would change.

Still, looking back, it wasn’t bad.

Taesan said.

“Nice to meet you.”

The encounter between each other is over. Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyeok looked bright after realizing that Tae-san’s reality was more normal than they thought. They started talking about miscellaneous things.

“So how about meeting other mods?”

“There was nothing special. After all, we

are the hardest.”

Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyeok talked with the players they met while moving. The more they explained the difficulty level, the more they accepted it as if they were talking bullshit.

“Big Rat. That’s the 5th floor boss in Easy Mode? So, why are we jumping out of the first floor?”

When he found out, Kang Jun-hyeok was really dumbfounded.

A basic monster on this side, and a boss on the 5th floor on the other side. I knew it would make a difference, but

I never imagined it would be this far.

“Is it like shit? But how do you choose the Alone mode?”

Junhyeok trembled. Tae-san said with a chuckle.

“Don’t regret it though. Because of that, I can survive like this now.”

“That’s it, yes… what.”

Izina Normal mode won without any problems against the monsters who dare not resist. Their efforts were proven to be futile, and

the evidence was right in front of their eyes.

Junhyeok Kang blankly looked up at Mount Taesan.

It’s so strong. It was an unbelievable difference that they had entered the labyrinth at the same time.

It goes up to the roof of a building at once and attacks dozens at an invisible speed.

Not to mention, Taesan didn’t use any of the skills he said. I made everything with only the power of stats.

Junhyeok Kang thought he was strong

. In Alone Mode, Lee Taeyeon is the only one who can compare to him, and after coming out, he felt that everyone was weak, so that thought became even stronger.

However, Tae-San showed his brute force as if to ridicule his idea.

‘Can I catch up?’

I couldn’t get a feel for it.

Lee Tae-yeon felt the same way. She added that she was the same age. He even felt a sense of shame about what he had done while he became so strong.

“You just need to survive.”

As if guessing their thoughts, Tae-san stood up and said,

“As long as you stay alive, you can become strong. Alone Mode is such a place.”

He stood in front of Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyeok.

“What floor did you all arrive at?”

“I just cleared the second floor.”

“me too.”

Lee Tae-yeon trembled as she remembered the memory. “

I would have died if

I hadn’t listened to Mr. Taesan beforehand .”

Boss on the 2nd floor. A goblin who uses magic.

It was impossible to respond at all because it was a monster with a sudden mental attack.

It’s a shame that I listened to Taesan in advance and took the potion for the mental system. If it wasn’t for that, they would have become corpses and rot in the labyrinth.

Kang Jun-hyeok, who was searching for new memories, suddenly came to mind and asked.

“Oh, there is an orange door on the second floor. What was that? I wanted to go in, but I remembered hyung’s words, so I desperately held back.”

“Where this guy is.”

Taesan pointed at the ghost next to him. Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyeok were silent.

“It was not a hallucination…

A typical ghost wearing a white cloth greeted me.

[hi. Fools.]

“He talks.”

Junhyeok, who was staring at him blankly, asked.

“Is it like a quest?”

“that’s right. Two monsters using skills were waiting.”

[You can’t even touch it, so don’t be reckless. I don’t even want to give you a quest.]

Junhyeok answered coldly.

“You won’t know unless you try it.”

“That’s the problem.”

Taesan reached out into the air and grabbed the sword.

“brother’?”

“Take out your sword, Lee Taeyeon and you too.”

“yes?”

Lee Tae-yeon, who had been quiet, was startled. Taesan said to them, surprised.

“Because I’m thinking of giving you an education.”

“Uh… Bro. Really?”

Junhyeok hesitated while holding his sword. Opposite him stood Taishan.

“Are you really fighting?”

“I told you. It’s called education.”

Taesan pointed the tip of his sword at Junhyeok Kang.

“You are too bold.”

Confidence is strong. When I see unknown territory, I try it first and do not get scared.

At Taesan’s words, Junhyeok spoke up.

“Isn’t that nice?”

“It’s not bad. Challenge is an important factor. But it’s also important to know your limits .

You don’t have that line too much.”

Taesan said calmly.

“To put it bluntly, you are on the weakest side.

It was an expression of unacceptability. As it was expected, Taesan continued to speak calmly.

“You must think of yourself as strong. And if you look at people by standards, you’re right. Except for me, there are only two or three people comparable to you. But inside the labyrinth, it’s different. Ain

Tsuhar. Did you meet that inspiration?”

“…yes. It was.”

Einzhar. The holy knight who seeks God judged Kang Jun-hyeok unworthy and gave him nothing.

“That’s you in Alone Mode.”

Kang Jun-hyeok’s face shook at the cold words. Taesan looked at Lee Taeyeon. she flinched.

“And you are so cowardly. sure ok Because of that, you can survive until the end. But I like to get as much as I can. If you throw it all away like that, you will regret it someday

.”

Joonhyuk Kang and Taeyeon Lee. The two were completely opposite tendencies. Lee Taeyeon asked calmly.

“…do you have to take on a challenge?”

“yes. I don’t want to see you die.”

If it’s Lee Tae-yeon, I don’t know, but Kang Jun-hyeok will surely die if he goes on like this. Taesan had no intention of seeing that.

“Since this is a question without an answer, I can’t tell you the answer, but at least I should tell you what level you are.”

Twelve hours left until the wave.

Enough time.

[Request for a duel. This duel will be held on equal footing.]

“Uh uh uh?”

Taesan waved his sword.

“Come and see.”
