Episode 105
Xiao Chen, who is the barrier of night school, is a very difficult and powerful enemy as he appears in earnest at the end of the original story.
‘It’s difficult to deal with magic, and it bothers Yoo Ha-on and the others without getting stuck here or there.’
Because of her, Ha-on Yoo, the main character, and her party go through a lot of hardship, and in the process, they lose a precious colleague.
‘… So it’s better.’
If we can manage Xiao Chen here, it will be possible to guide the future in a better direction.
Kugugu Palace.
kuung.
As I was examining the situation in the room at the last gate where Eve was, I felt a roar resounding from a little far away.
It must have been clear that by now, based on that mighty power, he was breaking through the gate without mercy.
‘Hey, Xiao Chen is a master of shielding from the start.’
It has something in common with the witch Verdi’s specialty. Without going far, even the maze of eternity is a specially designed confrontation system.
Perhaps she will be able to forcefully break most of the gates.
coogong,
Kugugu Palace.
Aww-!
After about 10 minutes had passed, I could feel her approaching right in front of me.
You can tell by just hearing this loud noise without looking far away.
In the end, she, who opened the entrance to the last gate, went inside and met the gaze of me who was there.
“Oh, were you waiting? Be special.”
“What happened so far? I must have said that if I kept quiet, I would let you out of this place.”
“Going out is going out, and I’m the type of person who can’t stand questions. The inside of this barrier is a very interesting place.”
I thought so too. Where else would that Xiao Chen’s personality go?
With a small sigh, she opened her mouth again.
“Did I say Han Kang-yoon? You seem to know a little bit about this place… … .”
The next words, even if I didn’t really listen, I knew.
“You have to tell me a little bit about that.”
As I stared at her as she began to raise her enormous spiritual power, I breathed power into my whole body.

‘… here. Where?’
The place where Han Seo-ah, who activated the magic stone of the Black Forest given by Han Kang-yoon, came to her senses was inside the unknown castle.
Looking around, there were many luxurious ornaments, and inside, as seen in the last gate, portraits of unknown women were fixed to the wall.
And in that mysterious place, someone spoke to Han Seo-ah.
“Finally here.”
“… … .”
“You are the first to reach this place in all four districts.”
“you are… … Who are you?”
However, Han Seo-ah, who uttered the question, also roughly guessed her identity. The owner of this maze, the witch Verdi, was evident.
“yes. It must be as you guessed. If you’ve crossed the last gate of the Black Forest in the first place, you know my name.”
“Yeah, you… … .”
Han Seo-ah wanted to ask her. Why the hell did you create a place like this to give despair to so many people and lead them to death?
But that wasn’t the point now. Right outside, it was clear that Han Kang-yoon was waiting for him.
In response, Han Seo-ah spit out the gist of the matter.
“I need your knowledge.”
“Hey, do you know that far? Then the story will be faster.”
However, Verdi seemed to confirm something, and opened his mouth with a frown a little.
“It’s strange. I wouldn’t have been able to open the door and get to this place in such a time. What the hell did you do outside?”
“… I have a party. With his strength, I was able to get through the gate quickly.”
“Um, yes. What do you know?”
After that, Verdi continued speaking again with a meaningful smile.
“However, I have no intention of handing over valuable knowledge to a human who only borrows the power of others.”
At the same time, a number of knights in armor appeared from behind her and began to approach Han Seo-ah.
shudder.
shudder.
kuung.
Seeing the majestic sight, Han Seo-ah also took out an amulet and raised her spiritual powers with determination.
“yes. I don’t want to be remembered that way.”
Han Kang-yoon is waiting outside here. With that fact alone, Han Seo-ah gave up his hesitation.
Delivering the promised item to Han Kang-yoon’s shikigami as quickly as possible, thinking only of that.
***
Through the barriers laid out throughout the maze, Xiao Chen was aware of roughly what Han Kang-yun and his party were doing.
‘It sounds like you caught a monster on the same level as that horned snake.’
In Xiao Chen’s opinion, with the skills of Yu Tae-jin and Han Kang-yun, it’s impossible to face a yokai at the level of Seven Gaksa.
I knew it as well as I had dealt with it in person. Even a first-class exorcist could not easily deal with it.
But they had to do it. If there were any variables in the process, it was highly likely that Han Kang-yoon created it.
“I’m a little curious, what did you do?”
“If it’s a Manticore, we all worked together to catch it.”
“Ah, over there. I hate useless words. You know that’s not the answer I’m looking for.”
However, Han Kang-yoon did not open her mouth any more. In response, Xiao Chen raised his finger, formed a rite, and drew a line at Han Kang-yun’s feet.
“Then I’ll make you tell me, even if you don’t ask.”
profit.
Whoops!
A square barrier that was completed in an instant, however, just before it was completed, Han Kang-yoon quickly rolled over the ground and escaped from the vicinity.
“yes? What, do you know my drink?”
“If you’re Xiao Chen, the master of barrier arts, isn’t he particularly famous in the oriental magic world?”
“Well, it’s closer to being a prick than being famous.”
Whoops!
Whoo!
As Xiao Chen finished speaking, he drew a line and created two more barriers. However, Han Kang-yoon cleverly hid himself in a safe area as if he had predicted the location.
And this time, Xiao Chen also felt some kind of incongruity.
‘There is no way that a person who has never fought before can cope with this skillfully.’
Shao-Chen’s shielding technique has been infamous for a long time.
Although he had not yet reached the stage, he completely defeated the first-class exorcist of the same school, and after reaching the special rank, he has never been defeated by anyone with the shield technique.
In particular, if it was the first time dealing with Xiao Chen, her shielding technique was to embarrass even the masters of battle.
So, Kang-yoon Han’s response just came close to a perfect score.
‘… It’s interesting, let’s raise the pace a little more.’

Match!Whoops!
Xiao Chen developed a new barrier by touching his palms while composing the ceremony.
Then, he touched the barrier he had made earlier, changed it into a restraint technique, and sent it to Han Kang-yoon.
The use of the anomalous technique that Shao-Chen was proud of, was to begin to show off in earnest.
‘I wouldn’t be able to stop this at his level.’
How it will turn out, Xiao Chen smiled in anticipation.
However, Han Kang-yoon’s response to him was truly bizarre.
“Hungry, Goulung.”
slurp.
Fuwaak!
He pulled out his own shikigami from the shadows and attacked it instead.
“Is that okay?”
“But I can’t be right.”
After speaking, Han Kang-yoon left the room as if to chase after him and quickly began to escape to another gate.
“… It’s fun.”
Xiao Chen followed Han Kang-yun with a happy smile.
The chase and chase continued for a while, but Xiao Chen could not catch Han Kang-yun, who came in and out of the test coffin like his own house.
Sometimes they ran away looking for passages that weren’t even visible, and sometimes they used a gate that had not been cleared at all to interfere with Xiao Chen.
After nearly 20 minutes of a chase and finally pushing Han Kang-yun in some degree, Xiao Chen opened his mouth as if it were ridiculous.
“… This maze, what did you make?”
Suddenly, Han Kang-yoon’s expression changed significantly. And then, Kang-yoon Han, who turned his head before long, raised the corner of his mouth and answered Xiao Chen.
“if so?”
“yes? It’s obviously a joke. That can’t be the case.”
“It doesn’t matter if you think like that.”
Behind Han Kang-yoon’s sudden change of tone, a black bird made of shadows flew over and handed him something.
‘… That?’
When I saw the object, I felt an unfamiliar feeling of uneasiness.
And as if to prove it, Han Kang-yoon, who raised the purple jewel with his right hand, continued.
“Xiao Chen, you are the third.”
“What?”
“You’re not smart, after Bi-hyung and Hecktail.”
It didn’t take long for Xiao Chen to understand the meaning of those words.
‘Is that kid the culprit who killed Bihyung and Hecktail?’
It doesn’t make sense conceptually. That’s because Xiao Chen didn’t feel any threat from Han Kang-yoon.
Even Xiao Chen feels the same way, but Bi-hyung and a man about Hecktail couldn’t have been defeated by an exorcist of just that level.
However, on the other hand, a question to the contrary came to mind.
So now, has Xiao Chen himself given Han Kang-yun a critical blow?
‘… Come to think of it, none at all.’
Upon realizing this, Xiao Chen felt a little goosebumps.
Of course, he didn’t intend to kill Han Kang-yoon, so he hadn’t brought out a powerful magic spell yet, but somehow it was certain that something felt uncomfortable.
Perhaps recognizing Xiao Chen’s anxiety, Han Kang-yun, who smiled lightly, breathed spiritual energy into the jewel in his hand and said to her.
“Then stop this once in a while.”
“what… … .”
Han Kang-yun threw a jewel at Xiao Chen as it was, and Xiao Chen was bewildered and quickly repeated his thoughts.
But even in the midst of that, her body reflexively constructed a magic formula, creating a defensive barrier in front of her.
And that was an absolute mistake.
Whoops.
shit.
Awkward!
The jewel that touched Xiao Chen’s barrier spit out a huge force and absorbed it as it was.
Then, it gradually changed its shape and created an eerie rift in the air.
Xiao Chen must have seen it recently.
It was the dimensional rift that swallowed her into this maze.
‘… suffered.’
It was Xiao Chen who realized that something was going wrong, but as you know, this dimension rift has the property of absorbing humans nearby by increasing its size.
And Xiao Chen had already experienced it once, unable to resist it and swallowed helplessly.
“you… … !”
“It’s probably several times harder to get out of than here.”
“This is real! When you come out, I won’t leave you alone… … .”
Such Xiao Chen’s words, unfortunately, did not continue to the end.
blatantly.
shit.
The dimensional rift that achieved its purpose hid itself, and no one was there already.
It was completely sucked into the crack.
Looking at the scene, Han Kang-yoon, who remained in the room, smiled slightly and threw out just one word.
“I’ve broken everything at the best, but I can’t get a free ride.”
As such, Xiao Chen, a member of the night school and a special barrier, disappeared completely in this ‘Black Forest’.
