Episode 106
As mentioned before, the Eternal Labyrinth is divided into four zones.
And in order to obtain all the legacy of the witch Verdi, of course, you must break through all four mazes.
‘The rift stone was a vehicle that allowed him to find another maze for him.’
The way to use the rift stone is simple, you just have to infuse it with spiritual power and enter a destination in another maze, then insert it into any barrier above a certain level.
If that happens, the barrier becomes a medium for the rift stone and transforms into a kind of portal.
‘It was bad luck for Xiao Chen.’
Although she is the highest level shield fighter, she rarely uses any other type of magic except for the shield.
If the rift stone had been stopped by means other than a barrier, at least this would not have happened.
‘I think I’ve arrived by now.’
Now that I say this, I actually sent Xiao Chen to the Blind Mountain, one of the worst of the Eternal Labyrinths.
And the reason why Blind Mountain was rated as having the worst difficulty was simple.
‘It’s the only area that hasn’t been attacked in the original series yet.’
At first glance, I heard that it would appear in the 8th series, which was most recently scheduled to be produced when I was over there, but honestly, I don’t know what happened.
But there was one thing I knew for sure.
It was a fact that, no matter how elite exorcist Xiao Chen, it was absolutely impossible for her to escape from the blind mountain on her own.
‘Hey, the highest level of the area boss over there is just over 70.’
Giving unparalleled comfort to Xiao Chen, who became a victim of power inflation, I met Han Seo-ah and confirmed her legacy.
“How was the witch’s knowledge?”
“… I don’t know yet. I think it will take some time before we can use it in practice.”
It is also natural. If anyone could use it so easily in the first place, the name of the ancient witch would be a waste.
In addition, Seo-ah Han seems to have obtained a few things as mentioned in the original, and they were as follows.
【Sun and Moon Ring】
▶The ring, which was considered a sacred item of the ancient witch clan, gains a special effect when the sun rises and when the moon rises.
– Only women can wear it.
【Intangibleness】
▶ It has a box made of ancient magic and has a vast internal space. The owner can store or take out any items they want through the box.
– Current load capacity: 13%
【Seal of Witch Verdi】
▶ A seal energized by the ancient witch Verdi. When used in a designated area, it can open a dimensional rift leading to the outside of the Black Forest.
Other than that, there was a rift stone that opened the way to challenge other areas of the maze, but it was already consumed because it was used on Xiao Chen earlier.
Even so, there seemed to be no doubt that the other two objects were of the highest quality.
‘… Because it’s intangible, I didn’t know I’d actually see this.’
An item that was used as an additional inventory in the game.
With modern witchcraft, no matter how much money and time you put in, it would be difficult to create.
‘Anyway, I can use it usefully.’
After I checked them, I told Seo-ah Han to wear the ring of Il-wol directly.
After all, there is a spell that only women can have an effect on, so it doesn’t really mean anything to me.
Just in case, we searched the witch Verdi’s room once more, and finally, with the results, we headed to the hiding place where Tae-jin Yoo and the others were hiding.
“… In the end, you succeeded.”
The group’s reaction was intense. However, at the same time, he also showed a face that he did not realize it.
Obviously, the hard years of the past have been swirling around in my heart, and I don’t know what to do.
We, who encouraged each other’s hard work, went to the place to open the escape rift with bloated hearts and preparations.
In the process, I was also informed of facts I had not been aware of.
“While you were away, Hansoo and Taegil went out on a reconnaissance, and it seems that only the bodies of Woogibeom and his party were already left there. I think it was Xiao Chen.”
Perhaps all their interest had been lost, and they could no longer find a reason to keep them alive. In a way, it could be said that it was a choice like Xiao Chen.
“Im here. I consider it right.”
Eventually, after diligently playing with our steps, we finally reached our destination.
The other side of the deep forest, the entrance to the base point.
It was the first place where I and Han Seo-ah were separated.
“Here, you can get out… … .”
There, there appeared an arched structure that had never been seen before, and its shape looked like a huge door.
And underneath it, a hole just the size of a witch’s seal was dug.
‘… … .’
The party, who looked at each other, intuited that it was really the last time, and began to say goodbye.
“Thank you for following me while I was lacking. I don’t know what happens next, but I will never forget my memories of this place.”
“Leader, why are you like that? Even if we go out anyway, we will meet again in good health.”
“… yes. I’m sure it will. uncles too. me too.”
Then, Tae-gil Choi, who came to me, changed his expression several times in the intervening time and opened his mouth.
Despite the fact that he has already apologized once, it seems that his harsh attitude at the beginning was unsettling.
“You are going to be really big. If you need help from outside, always look for this Mapo Choi Tae-gil.”
“I’m San-nim, so I can’t go to such a scary neighborhood.”
“Ah, I’m sorry about that. It’s the last joke that doesn’t even fit.”
We smiled and shook hands, and after receiving thanks from the group of civilians who had been protected by Yoo Tae-jin and the others, we put the witch Verdi’s seal into the prepared groove.
Whoops.
shit.
Awkward!
A slightly different type of entrance door than the dimensional rift we’ve seen twice already.
There was no further hesitation, so the party moved towards the inside one by one.
So, we were finally able to escape the maze of the Black Forest, the northern section of the maze of eternity.

Meanwhile, after Han Kang-yoon and Han Seo-ah disappeared, a full-fledged anomaly began to take place in the Dohwawon where the students of the Cheonghwa Academy were located.The people of the fuse garden and the cadets of the academy disappeared one after another.
No matter how much I looked at the CCTV, I couldn’t find any traces of them, and it was difficult to even find out through which path they disappeared.
While trying to find out the identity of the incident by seeking cooperation from the nearby defense forces, there were some who succeeded in approaching the root of the incident first.
It was Yoo Ha-on and his party, the main characters of the original story.
“Damn it, in a place like this, of course, I don’t see any missing people anywhere.”
Ha-on Yoo and the group, who had been chasing the case for a long time due to the disappearance of a friend, finally unraveled all the secrets, reached the nest of the servants, and succeeded in finding the missing people.
But.
“what? Why aren’t you and Seo-ah?”
“It’s kind of strange that none of the people who were dragged and imprisoned by the yokai have ever witnessed a similar person.”
“It is the same with this one. I have absolutely nothing to point out.”
“… Burn it.”
Hwang Ji-hak, who helped Yu Ha-on and his party defeat the celebrant, shook his head, and Gong-sam, who made a great contribution to saving people, also spewed fire with a gloomy look.
Baek Eun-seo, who looked at Gongsam like that, tilted her head and spat out a question.
“The fact that he exists means that he was also here, right?”
“… Perhaps it is.”
“I wonder if I’ve already been killed and eaten… … .”
It was Cheongju-hwa, who, unlike usual, actively participated in the case with Yoo Ha-on and others.
“It won’t happen. I’m not the kind of person who would fall for a monster of this level.”
“… Seriously, it’s funny to die in a place like this for a subject I used to take the lead every day and break everything.”
The Priestess was a really picky and troublesome guy, but he wasn’t the type with high combat ability to overwhelm his opponent.
“Then, that’s the point after all. I’m sure you’re here, but what do you mean this time you’ve been thrown to the ground?”
Just as everyone fell into silence, Gongsam, who was still, tugged on the hem of Cheongjuhwa’s robe and started heading somewhere.
The place he arrived at was obviously a cavity where there were numerous passages that the apprentice treated like a treasured treasure.
“Well, it’s all broken now, so there’s nothing.”
[Kieek.]
While holding on to Hwang Ji-hak’s hand, the servant priest cries while watching the scene.
As I thought, I wanted to get rid of this bad guy right away, but I needed a way to get out, so I had no choice but to put it on hold.
“Ugh, I should have revealed the truth to the outside soon. You can’t keep people here.”
And while Baek Eun-seo was contemplating, Gong-sam suddenly approached the servant priest, grabbed the horn, and started pointing with his finger.
“Burn it.”
[Kech?]
As the servant-principle stared blankly at it, Gongsam grew annoyed and slammed the servant’s head.
kuung.
[Kheheek!]
“… Burn it?”
The apprentice struggled with an expression that he did not understand the English language, and Gong Sam-i continued to harass the apprentice.
bean.
bean.
kuung.
In the end, Eunseo Baek and Jihak Hwang opened their mouths.
“Is this guy doing something?”
“Goblin, I know it feels bad to be separated from the owner, but it will be difficult if he dies. It’s better to calm down a bit… … .”
It was then that the miracle happened.
Jijik.
Pass sass.
Wow!
A crack that suddenly appeared in the air, inflating its shape, began to emit an unusual energy.
And from there, someone slowly walked out.
It was Han Kang-yoon and Han Seo-ah, who immediately disappeared.
As the whole party stared blankly at it, Han Kang-yoon, who understood the situation at the same time, opened his mouth as if he knew.
“You have taken the apprenticeship.”
“… Why are you here?”
Facing Baek Eun-seo, who was bewildered by the situation beyond common sense, Han Kang-yoon breathed a deep sigh and continued.
“That’s it.”
I don’t know the details of the situation, but looking at the messed up behavior of the two, it was clear that they had suffered quite a bit.
“… Burn it.”
Gongsam ran, clinging to Han Kang-yoon, and Han Kang-yoon stroked Gongsam’s hair a few times and then put it into the shadows using a magic trick.
“Then, shall we arrange the situation in front of us first?”
In that way, the series of happenings that took place at Dohwawon ended with the activities of the Cheonghwa Academy cadets.
Other events that took place deeper than that were left only in the hearts of Han Kang-yoon and Han Seo-ah.
