Episode 128
“…what is this?”
Root looked at the situation in front of him without being astonished.
The labyrinth’s buds were wrapped in light, revealing what was inside.
brilliant light.
A large, beautiful flower appeared before my eyes.
Light embroiders beautiful patterns and illuminates the surroundings.
A flower that never bloomed.
[As expected.]
“Do you know something? Set!”
[Eh, it would be more accurate to say that I understood rather than know.]
Set had a philosophical expression.
She didn’t think Mikhail could do anything, but on the contrary, she was confident that he wouldn’t be surprised if he did anything.
It is also true that from the first meeting, the existence of Mikhail was beyond her understanding.
[Root, you also don’t know what exactly the change that ‘Labyrinth’ is seeing is, right?]
“…yes.”
Root groaned.
I can’t believe that the labyrinth’s flower buds will open.
‘I thought Labyrinth was created on the premise of being imperfect.’
I mean it wasn’t
Root felt his common sense completely shattered.
Isn’t the ‘labyrinth’ in the first place a remnant born from the incompleteness of Labyrinth?
However, if that labyrinth fully blooms, what on earth will the labyrinth become?
‘It’s a strange feeling.’
He looked at the wide open labyrinth with a complicated expression.
[Well, I think it was intended to some extent that you didn’t know much about Labyrinth.]
“What do you mean.”
[Isn’t there something that can only be seen by the owner of the divine object? Mikhail has already obtained the third sacred object.]
“Hmm…“
Well, there are already three gods.
It wasn’t just a fake, it was all real.
Something deserves to change.
A special change that even the guardian and apostle himself would not be aware of.
“Is it his arrangement?”
[I wonder if Thoth would know about that arrangement, but…]
“That must be so.”
With a drowsy expression, Root recalled an oddball buried in books.
Certainly, that guy might know something.
“If that is part of the arrangements Asar has prepared…Asar was expecting even this situation.”
[…] …He might have known everything we did. Although nothing is certain.]
“Hmm.”
Root looked at Set with complicated eyes.
Old memories passed through my mind.
It was never anything pleasant.
There were more pleasant memories, but there are times when everything changes with just one decisive mistake.
That one bad memory painted over all the memories.
someone has forgiven
someone else didn’t
In the case of Root, unfortunately, it was a little closer to the latter.
“If what you did that day was His arrangement…”
[I don’t think so,]
Set answered with difficulty.
[No matter what I do, I have no intention of justifying my work at that time. that…It’s my fault.]
“Is that so?”
Root smiled bitterly.
This is the subject of the first thing he said he wouldn’t bring out.
It’s not really even funny.
‘Right now, he said not to be stuck in the past.’
whatever happened in the past.
In the end, it’s all over.
Being trapped in it and burning meaningless hatred won’t solve anything.
He turned his gaze back to Mikhail. The light that brightly embraced the surroundings fades little by little.
The figure of Mikhail, who had been shrouded in light, slowly began to emerge.
his arrangement.
What exactly did that hero see in ‘Labyrinth’? What else will you show yourself?
“…hmm?”
Root’s eyes widened when he saw something in Mikhail.
The light flowing from the Labyrinth formed a certain shape.
They became letters and formed a regular sequence.
It enveloped Mikhail.
and….
[What is that?]
A new magic was born.

The case that covered Gurton once was finished with my performance as a warrior.
It was expected that there would be casualties, but the fact that no casualties occurred between the gaps between the demons was nothing short of a miracle.
Of course, this incident was not without damage to Gerton.
Even if there were no casualties, the appearance of the Great Devil was by no means easy to see.
As a result, it was only natural that the image of Gerton as a ‘tourist destination’ would be greatly damaged.
but.
“it’s okay.”
The warchief did not despair.
No, far from despairing, his eyes were shining with guns that were different from when he first saw them.
“We gained more than we lost. So there is no reason for me to be discouraged.”
“Is that so.”
“Yes, God gave me a voice. And I realized that I had been misinterpreting what He wanted.”
The warchief continued.
“He didn’t want Girten to be ‘great’.”
“….”
“What he wanted was mutual benefit. The gutten doesn’t have to be huge. It was enough for the guides who grew up here to light the way.”
In a way, he is also great.
The guides will reveal the future of countless travelers and heroes, and then they will be recorded in history.
Even if there are no gutters left.
Guides and their new routes will surely decorate a page in history.
‘Is that the new direction the warchief has found this time?’
It’s not bad. no it was good
The gutten before the return collapsed.
Numerous guides vanished meaninglessly into history, and the ‘labyrinth’ itself was taken over by Asmodeus and turned into an advance base for demons.
It truly was like a nightmare.
That thing is starting to change now.
Root and the warchief who followed him would surely change the gutter in the right direction.
“great. I think I can trust the current Warchief.”
“thank you.”
Thanking him for trusting him, the warchief bowed his head again.
How many times have you already bowed down to me?
He said each time he lowered his head that it was not enough even if he bowed his head several times, considering the rudeness he had committed so far.
“…To be honest, I have no respect for Kum, who helped me until I became like this.”
“It’s all right Warchief.”
Kum, who had been standing quietly behind the warchief, continued.
“If I had given up on being the warchief in the first place, I would have left right away.”
“that…The
warchief’s eyes twitched.
Qum nodded to the warchief as if it were natural.
then he told me
“So leave it to me. I and the other senior guides will also do their best to assist the warchief.”
“That’s a nice word.”
With Qom’s help, the warchief won’t be crooked again.
“I won’t do that anymore. As the leader of the guides, do you plan to absolutely support the hero?”
“Ah, I have no particular intention of using the gut for the future of the church, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
“It doesn’t matter if you use it.”
The warchief’s eyes lit up.
“Since Root believes in the hero, wouldn’t it be natural for me to believe in you too?”
“What if.”
“Guides exist all over the world. From now on, they will be entirely your allies.”
Cooperation of the guide.
That means never lightly.
We know that their potential is limitless.
‘It seems that there will be something that needs a guide soon.’
I smiled at the warchief’s words and nodded.

[Good. Gutten’s job is finished and the new item has been successfully obtained, so isn’t it the best result?]
As soon as he came out of the warchief’s residence, Set said to me with a happy expression.
“Well that’s it.”
I looked at my left wrist.
Like other gods, this Labyrinth also nestled in my body.
The strange thing is that the huge flower is still there.
This novel is quite peculiar.
Labyrinth Labyrinth.
‘Shall I write lightly?’
As she slowly drew out the power of Labyrinth, the space around her began to shudder.
Storm defends, Abundance heals.
And Labyrinth Labyrinth… ….
“What?!”
Summons the marked target towards you.
Lian looked at me with a confused look on his face while holding the sword.
“What?”
“Performance sure. Go again.”
“What dog…?!”
Fishy.
With a faint sound, I, who reverse summoned Lian, smiled contentedly.
“I can use it when the time is right.”
Basically, to summon something requires a huge amount of spells or mana.
Of course, unnecessary time is wasted in the process.
But this case is different.
You can lightly summon anyone you want here without any damage.
Right now, it’s limited to those around me who have put a mark on me, but… ….
‘If the skill level increases a little more, it seems possible to summon a greater being… …’
For example, the five kings who are leisurely playing and eating in the spirit realm above the world.
That’s not all.
In fact, Labyrinth’s power itself was within my prediction range.
The real income this time is different.
‘Memories of the past.’
It was a bit vague at first.
What did I see and what does it mean?
Who is the owner of the red eyes?
Exactly who is talking to those red eyes… ….
But in the end, I definitely realized it.
Mashin and Asar.
Memory of two great gods.
“set.”
[Yes, say it.]
“The more you collect sacred objects, the more information you get from the old era.”
[Right.]
Set nodded.
[In fact, if you are qualified, this is information you should know. Dealing with the Demon God without such information is close to impossible.]
“Then…Is it possible for me, a mortal, to spy on Asar’s memories?”
[that….]
Seth’s eyes trembled.
[Have you ever seen such a memory? What you saw when you were enveloped in Labyrinth’s light… ….]
I nodded quietly.
At my words, she looked even more agitated.
[No matter how much, I only collected three new things, but I peeked into his memory? you already… …?]
“Is that so strange? After all, the sacred object is the remains of Asar. It wouldn’t be impossible.”
[that…It is, but]
Set said.
[I absorbed a part of him, so assimilation is not impossible in theory. It’s just that it’s not a level that can normally be endured.]
“I see what you mean.”
[okay. Ordinary mortals subconsciously reject such memories. The reason is clear. Because I’m not strong enough to accept his memory.]
“But I was fine.”
[…] …yes it was Now, it’s strange that you’re pushing mediocrity.]
Set looked at me.
[Your family name. Wasn’t it said that the ancestors were not human a long time ago?]
“It was. It must have been diluted too much, so there won’t be any traces of the blood of our ancestors.”
[Special ancestor. If it is a congenital existence that can even withstand his memory… ….]
Set muttered something and looked me in the eye for a moment.
Then.
[…] …Surely not?]
With those words, he shook his head.
Great mage who transcends by regression
