Episode 13 Labyrinth Libarinthos (7)
Quaaang!
sword and axe.
The two weapons collided.
Sparks rose, and dazzling sparks flew out.
“Kurrure…!”
A heavy moan flowed from the Minotaur’s mouth.
It’s not because it’s overpowered.
Rather, it was quite the opposite.
If you collide head-on, you’re like a human.
It could be cut into pieces along with the dagger.
But the moment the weapon meets the weapon.
Kagagagak!
The opponent skillfully shifted the center of gravity and let go of the attack.
parrying.
It was also at the level of being rotten because it was not high enough.
＊＊＊
“Oh my God… how can it be.”
Hana Park, who was watching, opened her mouth more and more.
I had no doubt that it would end unilaterally.
A boss-level monster that activated a skill over level 10.
Even if all members of the Black Crow Guild came, they would not be opponents.
That’s why I was thinking of running away.
Because we couldn’t die together here.
but.
Jinhyeok was not pushed back a bit against the monster.
No, it was pushing.
bang! Kwaaang!
A contradiction in which a small blade overwhelms a massive piece of iron.
My heart was pounding in the battle that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
‘Humans can… move like that.’
Park Hana unknowingly clenched her fists.
furthermore.
‘He’s laughing.’
A single mistake can cost you your life.
Even so.
Jinhyuk was laughing happily.
and that moment.
Jinhyeok grabbed the minotaur by the horns and rotated his body one full turn.
When you land lightly on top of your head. It was after the dagger had already disappeared from his hand.
Kwadeuk!
Suddenly, the vertical dagger pierced the roof of the Minotaur’s mouth.
“…!”
can’t shut up
Because the dagger was fixed like a prop.
“Five minutes have passed.”
Jinhyeok looked down at the Minotaur with a cold gaze.
at the same time.
Roaring!
I directed the manifested ‘fire element’ to the guy’s mouth.
Crimson flesh was visible beyond the throat.
No matter how hard the outer skin is, the inside is bound to be fragile.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
The flames went down his esophagus and consumed all his internal organs.
“Oohhh!”
A terrible scream rang out.
[The usage time for the unique ability ‘Berring’ has ended.]
[The Guardian of the Labyrinth will fall into ‘Suspension’ for 24 hours!]
The Minotaur has hardened while standing.
‘This is enough to finish it neatly.’
Jinhyeok retrieved the dagger stuck in his mouth.
Although the risk was high because it was in a state of berserk.
Thanks to that, one point was definitely scraped together.
[Gap stat points obtained so far: 57]
A whopping 57 points!
In terms of level, it was a figure that could narrow the gap of 19 levels.
‘It’s not long before we reach our goal of 100 points.’
20 days left.
This face is enough.
Then all that’s left…
Jinhyeok’s eyes glanced back.
I saw Hana Park shivering.
It seemed that he realized that it would be useless even if the entire Black Crow Guild came as long as he clearly showed his dignity.
Jinhyeok snapped his finger at Hana Park.
“What are you doing?”
“yes?
“Aren’t you coming?”
“yes!”
Hana Park, who came to her senses one beat late, ran like a shotgun.
“ha. ha. Did you call…?”
“From now on, we will be recruiting interns for the deceased person company.”
“This intern?”
“I am not very ambitious. why? take no interest?”
If you’re not interested, well…. It’s hard to see the sunlight alive, right?
Jinhyeok lightly rotated his dagger.
The bloody blade drew a soft curve.
“I am interested! please let me in! I have always wanted to join this company!”
Hana Park nodded her head vigorously so that her hair was tousled.
good. I like the posture.
A very enthusiastic applicant.
“Then question. Tell us what you can do for the company in the future.”
Park Ha-na’s face turned white at the sudden question.
“I… I…”
“Me?”
“Friendship! yes My unique ability is to be friendly with other people. You can make more friends than enemies.”
sympathetic ability.
It’s definitely not a bad ability.
already got it
“and?”
“And… I will never betray you.”
Even if you don’t like it, it will be.
If you carve a stigma, even if you want to betray, you won’t be able to betray.
“Is that the end? Anything more?”
that buck
Jinhyuk took a step forward.
While stroking the dagger with the tip of her finger.
“no. That’s… ugh… Now wait a minute. Give me some time to think!”
Park Hana took a step back.
if you don’t think of anything
something useful
You have to make an offer that the other person will like.
“I will announce. Because there are no successful applicants for the 1st Internship Company internship…”
Jinhyeok raised his dagger high.
It was then.
“Brahham’s ring!”
Hana Park screamed sharply.
“…”
Jinhyuk hesitated.
Could it be Braham’s ring?
“You got it? From the Black Crow Guild?”
“Not yet, but I will get it soon.”
“It’s not that I don’t believe in humans, but it’s hard to believe.”
Braham’s Ring was one of the best items to get on the first floor.
In addition to increasing movement speed and magic resistance, he even had the ability to suppress the magic of monsters.
Because there are three useful options attached.
The problem is that it is almost impossible to secure the item.
The key to the dungeon could be obtained at the starting point on the Korean side.
This is because the dungeon with Braham’s Ring is located at the starting point on the Chinese side.
The very beginning of the play, when the tower was just created.
Isn’t that why the two competing countries couldn’t give up the candy they hold in their hands?
You don’t know if you press and hold it.
Park Ha-na bit her lip slightly.
“My brother said he was dealing with the Chinese side. Instead of providing ‘Korean ginseng’, we decided to receive a ring.”
Korean ginseng, an edible item known to be excellent for restoring physical strength and magical power.
Whoa. If so, the words will be different.
I never thought that Park Ha-jin would have connections with China.
“Korean ginseng is good, but not enough to give up Braham’s ring, right? Is there something more behind the scenes?”
“I don’t know the details of the contract beyond that. ah! Jin Really! Because the viewers told me…”
[Lv1 ‘Eye of Truth’ is activated!]
[Hana Park’s words are ‘truth’.]
I didn’t think she was lying or cheating.
This thing became fun.
Maybe I’ll be able to get not only Braham’s ring, but also Korean ginseng.
Jinhyuk’s head started spinning rapidly.
In an instant, several cases came to mind.
There’s only one thing that bothers me.
‘In the end, I have no choice but to be hostile with them again this time.’
China had as many deceased figures as Korea.
In fact, the giant guild ‘Zhonghua’, created by the deceased figures on the Chinese side, was one of the largest guilds in the world.
‘It should be considered that the guild has already been created and systematized.’
I thought it would take at least a month.
Unlike games, there are many more variables in reality. Even if it is small, it will take that much time.
But they have compressed the whole process to an extreme.
Through a peaceful agreement?
no
There is no way this could be possible with such idealism.
It must have been the result of being stamped out by strong leadership and charisma.
And I can guess who is at the peak.
‘…Namgungcheon.’
Originally a child of a samurai family, he was a gifted genius.
A ranker who monopolized all kinds of secrets and elixirs in the [Tower of Trials].
yeah that must be him
It was then that Ha-na Park called Jin-hyeok, who was lost in thought.
“Hey…”
Ah. I’ll have to take care of it from here on out now.
Hana Park must have been on a shit line waiting for the results of the pass.
“Congratulations.”
Jinhyuk smiled widely.
“You just passed the internship at the deceased company! and! clap!”
“…”
Park Ha-na made a dumbfounded expression at the sudden change in attitude.
“Intern. clap.”
Jinhyeok muttered lowly.
Where the boss is clapping, but the intern.
“Waaaaaaa!”
match! match! match! match! match!
Hana Park clapped the seal with all her heart and soul.
It felt like I was getting bowed down, but it didn’t matter.
It was something I had already experienced while doing BJ.
“greatness-!”
Jinhyeok, who cleared his voice, continued.
“Now, our company does not pay salaries to interns. You cover your living expenses by doing a part-time job separately. Another most important point. Whenever and wherever I call, they must come out. Whether it’s 3 in the morning or in Jeju Island. It’s none of my business, so keep in mind.”
Of course, if you are late or absent without permission, you will be expelled.
Leaving here means leaving the body and leaving only the soul.
“…all right.”
Hana Park lowered her head as if resigned.
And added a word.
“Should I write a contract or something?”
“Of course I should.”
I needed proof of a contract.
only.
It’s a bit different from a normal contract.
Whoa!
Jinhyeok activated a new skill obtained through fusion.
His index finger burned with a bluish light.
“Is that a contract…?”
“yes. Did you really think you would stamp a piece of paper?”
That kind of thing only works outside the tower.
Not here.
What can I say?
A slightly more certain and hot method was Jinhyeok’s style.
Jinhyeok put his index finger on Park Ha-na’s right shoulder.
[I engrave Lv1 ‘Stigma of Love’ on Park Ha-na!]
Chii-iik!
“Sigh…”
Hana Park frowned, but did not scream.
In fact, it won’t hurt too much.
Betrayal would be painful beyond imagination.
＊＊＊
Time passed quickly.
A simple routine of raising the ‘Gap’ stat through a battle with the Minotaur and resting otherwise.
It was a daily life that went like a treadmill, but Jinhyeok never thought that it was boring.
‘I’m getting stronger.’
Daily.
I could feel myself growing day by day.
So there is no room for boredom or boredom.
Wow!
The Minotaur’s fist aimed at Jinhyeok’s face.
But the fists did not reach.
A distance of several centimeters from the face.
There.
Jinhyeok grabbed the opponent’s fist with one hand.
“Why do you seem to be getting weaker and weaker?”
Cheating and provoking is a bonus.
“Kuaaa!”
The Minotaur’s arm muscles swelled rapidly.
Nothing changed though.
It was because the rest of the stats had been raised too much, and now the gap could not be narrowed and the situation was reversed.
puck! Pooh!
Instead, Jinhyeok’s fist pierced his side.
The body of the huge Minotaur was bent with a prayer.
“Keck! Keek!”
It didn’t take more than 5 minutes before I passed out with crab foam at my mouth.
‘I’ve already done this over 100 times.’
After fighting for a month, I can feel a sense of friendliness just by looking at the Minotaur’s face.
I’m not used to seeing people fainting, so it’s become a daily routine.
‘If it’s a daily life like this, I’d be able to live for a year instead of a month, right?’
That was when I was thinking about it.
“Thanks for your efforts. CEO!”
Hana Park brought food made of moss and mushrooms on a plate.
Ah….
What I said earlier is cancellation.
this food. No matter how much I ate this, I never got used to it.
Spicy Kimchi Stew.
Crispy chicken with lightly iced beer.
Sizzling grilled pork belly with soju.
Vera’s mint chocolate ice cream that looks like you’ve brushed it without brushing your teeth!
I want to eat something like this.
…Madly.
“…Let’s go. Outside.”
Jinhyeok grieved at this.
We are almost there.
＊＊＊
[Gap increased by 0.015 points]
As soon as you dodge the attack.
Jinhyeok’s round kick exploded.
Aaaaaang!
The Minotaur’s neck turned about 90 degrees.
I didn’t even talk to him anymore.
The moment I got the stats, I fainted.
And finally.
[Current gap stat: 100]
100 stats
.
Crying.
It felt like something that had been piled up from within was rising up.
at the same time.
“I see a light over there!”
The end of the labyrinth began to appear.
it has finally arrived
At the end of a long, long journey.
