Ch 47
Episode 46 – Popoi!
Jaejoo Kim sighed.
‘Maybe simple self-satisfaction.’
As before, Jaejoo Kim just removed the trash he knew.
It is certain that there will be no people suffering from such garbage in the future.
I thought that fact alone was reason enough for me to go out.
“I’ll check the reward.”
-Ah, I miss Kingchiman…
– Haha Now, let’s be awkward if it’s not a fancy treasure chest.
– Manager, did you go to bed?
The rewards were still mediocre.
1000 coin pockets. General grade mace. Orb of normal grade for wizards.
– It’s normal.
– Seeing the box, it was difficult to expect much haha.
-Are you going to sell things on the 10th floor?
“I’ll go straight to the next floor.”
The backpack was still heavy.
It was also a waste of movement to stop by the 10th floor now.
‘On the 14th floor, luck plays a big role, so it’s hard to see it as an ordeal of cooperation.’
Kim Jae-joo, who had all the items, went straight to the portal to the 14th floor.
[4880 units. 4891 units. 4898 units. A total of 6 people entered.]
[Condition number of people have been met.]
[The 14th floor trial begins.]
The portal spewed out Kim Jae-joo and printed a familiar message.
A cloudy sky without a single cloud greeted him.
There was a black wall that divided the grass into squares around it.
The wall was soaring with a force to pierce the sky, as if he had no intention of falling over.
[Welcome to the labyrinth of evil spirits.]
[The size of the labyrinth is proportional to the total difficulty level.]
[Please select the starting point on the layout of the labyrinth in the center.]
“I am wondering how to share this.”
“First, we should talk to the person who comes over there.”
In the center, five men and women surrounded the table and were discussing fervently.
Seeing Jaejoo Kim, a young man raised his hand.
“Nice to meet you!”
Jaejoo Kim approached them and greeted them.
“hello.”
“Five. Are you Asian?”
A middle-aged white man with a handsome beard shook hands.
Even just looking at the size of the large armor he was wearing, he could feel the hard muscles inside.
“I am Korean.”
“south korea? North Korea?”
“This is South Korea.”
As Kim Jae-joo lightly shook his hand, the middle-aged man nodded his head.
“I beg you. Sir Robert. The courage to come alone is amazing.”
“I am Jaejoo Kim.”
-Is they like a party too?
-Hmm…
– Two nights. Two wizards. I don’t know about the other one.
As the viewers said, they looked like well-prepared adepts.
The neatly groomed equipment and calm eyes were reassuring just by looking at them.
“Let me introduce myself briefly. Fordman from left. Ricky. Cuddy. Kris.”
Robert gestured to introduce the rest of the characters.
Each time their name was called, they raised their hands to greet each other without being vigilant.
‘It’s a good party.’
Rather than trusting in Jaejoo Kim, it probably means that they trust each other that much.
However, there was one strange thing.
“You seem to have known each other for a long time… Is this your first time on the 14th floor?”
Jaejoo Kim carefully turned around and said.
If the party is that skilled, there must be some degree of prudence in getting information about the 14th floor.
It was strange to come with 5 people instead of having a party of 6 people.
“He’s a quick-witted friend.”
At Robert’s words, the expression of a black man called Fordman hardened.
Unlike the others, it was difficult to guess the occupation of the Fordman without a weapon.
Unusually, he was wearing a robe and a straw hat.
-Actually, to eat Kim Jae-joo?
– What a nonsensical thing to say.
“Actually, Podman’s friend was a member of our party, and he was seriously injured on the 13th floor. I’m just waiting for something to go, but the friend refuses. There were no new members to look for, so I was challenged to the 14th floor with 5 people.”
“okay.”
“Everyone except me is on the 14th floor for the first time. Naturally, I became the leader.”
“Did you not join a separate clan?”
“It’s a waste of coins. Besides, how many things do you have to do?”
Ricky and Cuddy’s complexion darkened at Robert’s answer.
-Since the women’s expressions don’t look good, it’s not a coin problem, right?
-The clan came absurdly;
-Because the 10th floor members are doing more~
-If it stagnates, it will rot.
“understand.”

At Kim Jae-joo’s answer that he would know right away, Robert’s eyes widened.
Kim Jae-joo nodded and Chris, with a bright impression, answered.
“Don’t get me wrong. We’re not bad guys.”
“yes.”
Starting with a few questions, a personal catch-up to attack the labyrinth followed.
Ricky and two young women called Cuddy were wizards.
Chris, a white man, was a knight like Robert.
“Then you mean you learned magic engineering?”
“yes. Somehow.”
-King’s Chance on
– all-encompassing
“Right. If you get to the 14th floor, your doubts about your skills will be meaningless.”
Rather than ignoring Jaejoo Kim, Robert made a judgment based on the information he had now and continued the conversation.
“What can you do? Direct combat is possible, or rear support is possible. Anything possible is good.”
“It’s like the mechanical gloves I made for combat assistance and the items I’m wearing.”
Jaejoo Kim answered meekly.
If the opponent came out favorably, there was no need to stretch out.
“What is the function? Can you show me now?”
“yes.”
Jaejoo Kim gave a short answer and inflated his coat greatly.
easy profit.
Even as it spread wide enough to cover them all, everyone’s mouths were wide open at the sight of creating thin thorns like a peacock’s tail one by one.
-Hey, there seems to be only one person who can use that, Kim Jaejoo.
– It’s really surprising every time I see it.
“It’s amazing. amazing.”
Robert pulled the kite shield off his back and grinned.
“Can I do a strength test?”
“yes.”
With his permission, Robert came to the side, slammed the tip of the shield into the ground, leaned back and bent his knees.
It is the best posture to take the shock.
Jaejoo Kim, who watched the scene, made the end of the coat like a hammer and swung it around the shield.
bang!
Robert’s sheet metal boots slipped deep into the dirt and slipped backwards.
Other people’s eyes widened at the shocking sound that exceeded their expectations.
“That’s great! I’m sorry I don’t know what the item is. I should have turned on the radio.”
Robert raised his shield in amazement and shouted.
“Is this enough?”
“What is the pass? We’ll have to kneel down! haha.”
Short laughter erupted from those who were at the table to see if there was any disagreement.
Among them, Podman opened his mouth in an excited voice with his eyes twinkling.
“Cotra that stretches freely… After watching a movie called Fantastic 4, I once imagined my body would grow, but I never dreamed that my clothes would stretch.”
– not; If you wear a straw hat and say something like that…
-Haha, you’re dreaming of becoming a pirate?
-Please refrain from making derogatory comments about Somalians.
– No one thought so, you idiot;
-Isn’t that a one-piece drip?
-Don’t even think about drips that burn out from stretched rubber. Racists!
-How am I supposed to accept this contradiction that says not to hit me…
– Satan will cry too, you bad bastard;
“What’s your job, Mr. Fordman?”
“Are you talking from the tower?”
Podman replied with a playful smile.
“yes.”
“······haha.”
-yes.
-Really, Jaejoo Kim, you are something hahaha It’s so neat that I’m at a loss for words.
“Actually, I also studied magic engineering. Since my job is a GIS analyst, I like meticulous work, so I was drawn to magic engineering. It’s kind of nice.”
“That’s right.”
-ah. That’s right.
– You don’t know what?
-ㅇㅇ In that case, you can just say yes.
– Chew!
-Somehow, Kim Jaejoo liked it when it was called magic engineering.
After Podman’s awkward greeting, the full-scale attack on the labyrinth proceeded.
Gathering at the table, Robert opened the door.
“Are you the first to go to the 14th floor?”
Robert looked at Jaejoo Kim.
“yes. This is the first time.”
“I understand how confident you are with items like that.”
Robert nodded and began to explain the labyrinth.
“First of all, the labyrinth has complicated roads all over the place. When you arrive at a dead end, traps and beasts will pop out. ruler. If you look at the table here, you can decide where to start.”
On the table that followed his hand gestures, white dots based on the black rectangular line were east, west, north, south, and south.
You were shining everywhere.
“There is only one condition to pass. All you have to do is cross the road and go to the center of the labyrinth, the destination.”
His next hand pointed to the center of the labyrinth.
The inside of the black line was painted black, so I couldn’t figure out the structure.
“The distribution of personnel is free. All six of us can start in one place, or we can start scattered around.”
“Are there any advantages to being scattered?”
Jaejoo Kim already knew this, but he responded appropriately in consideration of him.
“of course. One of these places has fewer traps, and the level of witchcraft is low. The road is not simple either. Although luck is a big factor. It’s an ordeal that is cleared when you reach the center, so it’s not a bad gamble.”
“If you get stuck on the easiest path, is it possible to break through on your own?”
Robert shook his head.
“That’s the problem. There is a high probability of dying alone.”
Jaejoo Kim thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Then do this. I will go the other way alone. The rest of us go together.”
The path of the labyrinth always changes randomly.
Talking about what might happen to him.
When it comes to wearing mechanical gloves, those who are traveling with you in the narrow labyrinth could be a hindrance.
“It’s nonsense.”
Robert’s voice rose.
Everyone’s expression hardened at Kim Jae-joo’s sudden remark.
“Isn’t that driving us to be too shameless?”
“Did you see my item?”
“Anyway, that’s…”
“You can break through on your own, so just do it.”
Everyone had an unfamiliar expression on their face.
“Do you think we would agree with putting you at risk?”
“I’m doing this because I want to, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
For a long time, Robert and Kim Jae-joo had a war of words.
In the end, it was Robert who raised the white flag.
“I won’t move a single step until you go first.”
Because of Kim Jae-joo’s decisive word.
-Oh, I’ll just carry it, so go
-Hey, you’re clever, just shoot a magic cannon in the air and let’s go. It looks like I’m going in right away.
Perhaps he felt stubborn from Kim Jae-joo’s tightly closed mouth, Robert took out three potions from his backpack and gave it to Kim Jae-joo and tapped him on the shoulder.
“I can’t stop. If it’s dangerous, just wait. If we are on the right path, 5 people will be able to break through.”
“yes. We do that.”
At that moment, as if relieved, Robert took the others and decided the entrance.
“I will go west.”
Robert put his hand on the west side of the glowing white dot, and his body was sucked in in an instant.
The rest of the party also told Jaejoo Kim to be careful and then disappeared one by one.
“I will go.”
– Let’s carry it quickly and get a bus fare from them haha
– Gazzaah!
Jaejoo Kim pressed the glowing dot from the north, and a white light engulfed him.
The starting point of the labyrinth was the same as before.
Wide grasslands and tall black walls.
The difference is that one of the four sides is open and a road is being made.
‘That’s the center.’
The only thing is that a pillar of light that is high enough to be seen from afar is boasting its majesty.
Jaejoo Kim approached the wall and stroked the wall.
The cold feel of the smooth marble was transmitted.
Jaejoo Kim took out a mechanical glove from his backpack, put it on, and slammed the wall.
bang!
Contrary to the loud impact sound, there was not a single scratch on the wall.
– Were you thinking of piercing it?
– change of ideas
“Just in case.”
I borrowed the power of the Rotonto boots and tried to stick to the wall, but I couldn’t get to the middle, so I slipped and fell to the floor.
The wall did not allow for anomalies easily.
‘I have no choice but to follow the road.’
The moment Kim Jae-joo was carrying the backpack he had placed on the floor.
Something has changed.
“Is that friend really okay?”
“If it’s risky, it will take care of it.”
Everyone sighed at Robert’s worried tone.
“He’s a quick-witted friend, so he won’t die.”
“How did you know you were smart?”
At Cuddy’s question, Robert shrugged and pulled out his shield and longsword.
“Looks like they know we got kicked out of the clan.”
“I hope.”
“Where is the madman who is convinced that he left the clan because he has a lot of work to do and not enough coins?”
“······is that so?”
“Of course you noticed.”
Robert did not bring up the back story that he had a big fight with the clan leader because of sexual harassment.
The party was right in front of you.
I just quietly walked forward.
So proceeding through the labyrinth, we arrived at a dead end, and magical beasts fell from the sky.
The path that Robert and the others chose was difficult.
“This is crazy!”
Robert’s shield was half broken.
The biggest reason was that the shield was sucked by a slime-type beast called Blood Sucker.
It was the highest level of magic that could come out of the labyrinth on the 14th floor. The body itself was made of corrosive acid, so it was difficult to deal with.
To move cautiously because of experience, on the other hand, seemed to be conceited to him, so he ran at once.
Thanks to that, Chris’s two-handed sword was also cracked finely.
It happened in one battle that was encountered on one dead end.
Fortunately, the battle ended in victory for Robert’s party.
However, the equipment of the knights who should be the stopping line is broken, so the next battle will be lucky, but one person will lose his life.
“I’m going to die from this. However, I don’t think that friend will break through the labyrinth to the end.”
“Actually, from the beginning, it was a bit hard. Even if there are 6 people, it’s not enough to match the sum in advance. Bad luck.”
After Podman’s words, everyone didn’t say anything.
Their faces were all dark, as if they had already sensed death.
In the midst of the heavy silence, an unknown sound was heard.
·········this
“Didn’t you just hear it?”
Robert, who had been sitting with his head bowed, raised his head.
“yes?”
“Shh.”
Son-in-law becomes quiet
bang.
With the sound of walls breaking.
A clearer sound came through the wall.
···trunnion!
“Am I going crazy?”
“…this time I heard it too.”
After a while, the sound became clearer.
It’s so clear that it sticks in your ears.
“Popoi!”
