Chapter 215
After some time, the number of people who finally entered the maze was decided.
Even so, Sophia, who was eager for further growth, accepted the proposal at once, and Shin Noeul nodded at my earnest intention.
If that’s the case, all that’s left is the last digit.
And in fact, this part could be said to be the biggest concern for me.
‘Simply thinking, I wanted to clean up and take Haegaram… … .’
They are people who are responsible for many things in their respective positions, so it is not good to be away for a long time.
And I think there was a better fit for this job.
It was Yeongi, who was a member of the former night school.
“What is the purpose of such a sudden visit after only a few days?”
“There is something I need help with.”
Although he didn’t even have a means of contact with her, he was able to find her who was hovering around Yoo Ha-on using his knowledge from the original.
“… You know a lot more about me than you think.”
“Not necessarily.”
“So, what is it that you want to ask for so much?”
After taking a deep breath for a while, I offered my business to such a young person.
“We are planning to attack the labyrinth created as a confrontation system soon. I would like to accompany you at that time and help you.”
“It’s a labyrinth, so what will I gain from it?”
In fact, that was the key to this negotiation.
It goes without saying that in order to move a giant, powerful Yeon porcelain, it is necessary to pay a reasonable price for it, but I have already handed her the trump card that it is the material of a suitable person.
“I’m sorry, but it doesn’t look like I have anything to gain from you anymore?”
“… … .”
What she said wasn’t really wrong.
But, of course, I had another number already in mind.
“I don’t know what to say with my mouth, but I have a good relationship with Yoo Ha-on.”
“… … .”
“So if you help me, I can give you a reasonable help too.”
Ha-on Yoo is absolutely necessary for Yeon-jagi, but from the perspective of Ha-on Yoo, Yeon-ja is just an unknown outsider.
However, if I put a bridge in the middle, I would be able to reduce her vigilance to some extent.
“… It is not wrong.”
Obviously, such an opinion was a theory, so Yeon-ji nodded his head in a persuasive manner.
And then he uttered a word of agreement.
“like. let’s accompany How long do you think it will take?”
“I can’t give you a definitive answer, but I also don’t have time for this one, so I’m planning to attack the maze as soon as possible.”
“Then it doesn’t matter.”
Of course, she is wary now and does not reveal her skills, but she will be able to deal with the bosses of the Blind Mountains who are above level 70.
Also, there are still things to be received, so naturally, I have no choice but to take care of my safety.
For me, it was an offer that had nothing to lose.
“Then, I’ll see you tomorrow at the place I mentioned.”
So, once again, I cast my vote towards the maze of eternity.
***
As I’ve said many times, I also don’t know much about the Blind Mountain.
However, based on the information received when I was part of the development team, I wondered if it would be possible to attack with this level of power.
‘The Black Forest and other mazes could be cleared if there was enough force to catch the so-called field boss.’
Of course, you will have to solve many problems along the way, but of course, the clues will also be found inside the Blind Mountain.
If you’ve played and created the Exorcism series countless times, you can definitely find it.
Now I just had to believe it.
“Then I will open it.”
At my words, the gathered people nodded their heads.
Han Seo-ah and Shin No-eul, and Sophia and Yeon-jagi.
Eventually, the celebrant took out the maze passage he had kept in the nest using a magic trick, and we headed there without hesitation.
Whoops.
What unfolded before us were strangely shaped trees that seemed to be missing colors.
“This… … .”
“It seems like a winner.”
The moment I saw the scenery around me, I felt it. This is the blind mountain.
To be honest, if there was another maze, it would have taken a considerable amount of time to break through it first, but heaven helped.
‘Good start.’
I clenched my fists indistinctly, and looked around at high speed.
Faded trees and grass, and virtually gray skies.
These elements combine to create a rather bizarre atmosphere.
“In the Black Forest, there was a colony of survivors. It might be the same here.”
Even in the Blind Mountains, there will certainly be people who get caught up in their unwanted way. It was unclear whether they were still alive, but there was nothing wrong with checking it out first.
“Then may I ask?”
“Leave it to me.”
Whoops.
Shin Noeul, who slowly raised his spiritual power, slowly began to compose the ceremony.
It was to examine the surrounding terrain with her specialty, detection technique.
But soon, her expression suddenly changed and she scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes.
“What’s this?”
“Why?”
“This is really… … A place where people can live?”
Shin Noeul’s reaction was stark. Soon after, Shin No-eul, who was in control of the procedure again, uttered his own conclusions.
“There is nothing here. Even these trees and grass are far from being considered living creatures.”
He could not feel any life reaction, and he could not even grasp the surrounding terrain as if surrounded by fog.
That was Shin Noeul’s answer.
‘It’s natural. As it is, stones and trees each have their own nature.’
And recognizing objects through it is detection technology.
However, everything here is so close to nothingness that even such a minimal amount of energy cannot be felt.
As expected, the attack on the Blind Mountain seemed to be more difficult than expected.
“Ugh. I think it would be better to set a direction and move first.”
“Because nothing can be solved by standing still.”
As Sophia and Yeon-Ji-Ji said, now is the time to move first.
The accuracy of the detection technique was poor, so we decided to go to the highest place and look around.
But no matter how much he walked, for some reason nothing changed.
“I am definitely climbing a mountain… … .”
“It looks like there is no progress.”
It certainly was.
Obviously they’re not in the same place.
However, no matter how much he moved, he did not see a point to look around, nor did he feel that the summit was getting closer.
‘Does that mean there is no end anyway?’
The surrounding terrain as if each one was intended.
We cannot easily determine where we are on the mountain or how far we have moved.
It was a moment where I could feel why this place was called the Blind Mountain.
“Isn’t it too difficult for people to think?”
As the situation continued, Yeon-jae gently raised his hand and raised his spiritual power.
And by completing the advanced attack technique, it swept the visible terrain as it was.
Whoops.
Aww-!
“If you beat them all, anything will come out.”
“… Wow.”
A daring act that made Sophia cry.
However, it certainly wasn’t so wrong now.
‘I don’t have that much room here either.’
Even now, the crisis is approaching every moment outside. Don’t forget that.
‘Anyway, the calculations were all over before I came here.’
If you have this power, it’s worth trying. So I found the maze.
In that case, it would be better to act boldly rather than scrutinize the situation.
“good. We work together.”
“Eh, really?”
“Anyway, I need some clues now.”
Even if he did, Sophia swept away with the soft porcelain, raising her vast spiritual power at once, as if she had a moth on her heart.
As the terrain blocking the surroundings disappeared, the view began to open up, and it was gradually understood what kind of path we had been moving.
‘Was it structured like this?’
Now I knew for sure.
There is no such thing as a summit on this mountain. Just walking on a path that continues indefinitely.
The moment I recognized that there, the first strange thing happened since I came here.
slurp.
flinch.
‘what?’
The tip of the shadow trembles finely, sending some kind of warning.
However, no matter how much I concentrated on my feelings, I could hardly feel anything.
“Something is strange, the detection method immediately.”
“I’ll check it out.”
However, there was nothing caught in the detection of Shinnoeul.
At that moment, something invisible spurted out and bit my ankle.
wow!
“ね!”
The reaction was delayed because I did not feel any presence at all.
And from there, in an instant, the curse began to climb up the body.
‘It is quite poisonous.’
From my point of view, it was at a level that I could endure, but if I was an exorcist who was not strong enough to resist magic, the power could act as a fatal wound in an instant.
I purged it in the same way as I did it, and calmly looked at the opponent.
“snake?”
Perhaps it was hiding in some way, or after the first attack, the shape was revealed enough to be seen with the naked eye.
Like the surrounding grass and trees, it has a strange shape that loses all its colors.
However, its strength was at a level that could never be overlooked.
【Mutaesa Temple】
▶Level 53
‘It’s just that the number of synthetics I met in a place like this are at that level.’
I expected it from the strength of the curse, but whatever it was, the level was definitely high.
Also, immediately after, the shadow, which had been quiet for a while, began to send a fierce warning.
It was said that that one was not the end.
“Attention, everyone! There are times when you can’t see it.”
“Even if I say that, I don’t feel any sign… … .”
Shin Noeul tensed and swallowed saliva, and we formed a circle and began to be vigilant in all directions.
“At the moment of attack, it is looming. We have no choice but to capture that moment.”
“yes. It’s not difficult if you know the identity.”
Sophia waved her hand, spreading her spiritual power in all directions, and soon a wedge of spiritual power with a sharply set blade filled the area.
Then, they intercepted the Musae who had begun to appear one after another one after another.
Nettle!
Awesome liquid!
Whoops!
“Is it like this? It’s a pretty strange creature.”
Seeing the scene, Yeon-jae skillfully dealt with the enemy, and Shin No-eul and Han Seo-ah strengthened their defenses in case of an unexpected surprise.
When a few minutes passed like that, there were only the corpses of countless snakes by our side.
“Looks like things have been sorted out.”
“… Brother, where was the bite?”
“I did it right away, so there’s no problem.”
However, the situation is quite embarrassing.
If these types of synthetic beasts were all over the place, it meant that we had to keep our heads up and prepare for an attack anytime, anywhere.
Just as I was about to fall into thought like that, I finally started to feel the presence of someone else along with a rustling sound.
What appeared soon after was a person whose body was invisibly wrapped in various clothes.
