32. At least three lives gone
After a day’s rest.
Diaz and I went straight to the location of the underground labyrinth.
What do you need to waste your time on?
It’s not like there are any injuries.
A corner of Gilad arrived like that.
Diaz also looked around carefully, as if he had never been to this place before.
“I never thought there would be a place like this in the back of the slums…”
I searched for my memory and walked away.
According to Romaine’s words, he only knew that he had been blocking his way from the distant past.
Perhaps even those who settled here didn’t know what exactly was there.
‘The reason why this place became a slum…that was this.’
Originally, the reason for the existence of this underground labyrinth was as a prison for ancient monsters.
The monsters in the records who once fought against the gods.
Of course, it was nonsense for people to live on it.
However, the ancient records are gradually being erased, and at the same time, those who were pushed out as if they were driven out because they had nothing, settled down here because they had nowhere to go.
As it grew, a village called Gilad was formed.
In fact, Gilead wasn’t even an area that officially existed on the map.
Thanks to that, it was just such a small town that it was hard to find without trying the martial arts class.
That’s why the nobles didn’t really intervene.
‘Don’t just cause trouble, take good care of the land. Because I had that mindset.’
At least, I heard that Romaine was able to win the position of the head and make it a decent place to live.
elaborate
The conclusion meant that this place was not an easy dungeon.
In fact, in the original work, this was something that had to be experienced in the second half.
‘Because the guy trapped inside in the first place is a boss-level named monster.’
Instead, the reward was satisfactory, but…
It wasn’t that I wasn’t worried.
while thinking about it.
We had already stepped into the realm of the underground labyrinth.
Even though it was difficult to see because it was covered by the bushes, it was possible to tell that the material of the floor had changed.
Diaz seemed to notice too.
“Rohan-nim. This land…”
“Yes. Down here, the mythical monster is imprisoned.”
“Poetry, if it’s a myth…! Are you talking about the monsters in the legend who thrust their teeth at the gods?”
“These guys aren’t easy. In a different way from demons.”
“Are you saying…that they are not the same as demons?”
I nodded.
“Among the monsters in mythology, there are also those who were born from God. Their origins are different from those of demons.”
“okay……”
Diaz looked at me blankly, wondering how he even knew that.
I only know from reading the background settings…
Still, he continued to explain.
“If hell is where demons arose, then it is here, in Middle-earth, where mythical monsters are born. Just as demons and humans are different, demons and mythical monsters are different. If you put them face to face, they will bite each other. Everyone Because they are enemies of each other. Humans, mythical monsters, and even demons.”
“I can’t…”
Diaz listened very attentively to every single thing I said and was amazed.
‘Don’t you know much about the Mythical Monster?’
I didn’t know so much, so I was rather surprised.
anyway.
While we were having such a conversation, we had already reached the entrance of the underground labyrinth.
“Whoa…”
I unknowingly chose to breathe.
Everything up until now was just a prelude to coming here.
* * *
Tumble, Tumble.
True to the word underground labyrinth, this interior was made up of a terrible labyrinth.
So, I had to wander a lot, but…
‘Originally, that’s because it’s one-time content.’
Like everyone else, the labyrinth-type terrain was memorized naturally after repeating it several times.
Textbooks are hard to memorize, but isn’t this kind of thing strangely memorized quickly?
Besides, I didn’t eat well.
‘Oh… I wish I had studied with this head.’
Thinking of that for a moment.
‘If only I had studied, I would have been suffering a lot right now, right?’
Well.
It seems that it was rare that I was thankful for the past me who played games as hard as I do these days.
Thanks to this, my life is preserved, and I am passing comfortably even now.
In fact, this labyrinth also had quite a few traps and miscellaneous mobs.
But what’s really annoying is that even if you catch those mobs, they won’t give you an item.
If you fall into the wrong path, the path of the maze will also change.
I remember that the complaints of users who experienced this underground labyrinth in the early days were considerable.
If you entered this underground labyrinth without any prior knowledge…
‘Ugh. At least three lives must have been lost.’
As such, this underground labyrinth was a map with tricky corners.
Because it was the Minotaur of a clumsy size that he faced through all sorts of traps.
‘But now I’ve been able to preserve my stamina well.’
Also, the setting was very well done.
Originally, this mythical monster, the Minotaur, was designed only for fighters.
Different classes also have different monsters.
Anyway, maybe that’s why the Minotaur was a very difficult monster for fighters to deal with.
But what about the current me…?
‘The class is different.’
Literally, the class was really different.
So naturally, we were able to configure a little more variety of countermeasures.
It’s been about 30 minutes since I walked while simulating the Minotaur battle in my head.
“Rohan.”
“Um. You’ve arrived.”
We stood in front of a door that looked as if a boss fight would begin.
I turned to Diaz and said.
“After passing this door, I can’t care about you either.”
“Of course, I’m prepared for that.”
“So as soon as you open the door, go right into the far left corner.”
“……Yes?”
It didn’t take Diaz long to understand what I meant.
* * *
Awesome profit.
As soon as you open the iron door.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
With the staggering sound of footsteps shaking the ground.
“Whoaaa!”
The mad bullhead’s charge attack has begun.
‘Yes, this was it! Huh!’
The Minotaur, holding an ax with red eyes and glinting, charged forward with his horns.
“What, what is this…!”
Although Diaz has a lot of experience, he seemed quite surprised when a cow, almost 3 meters tall, rushed at him endlessly.
This is why I gave the word in advance.
“Left corner!”
I shouted that short word to her.
Diaz, who came to his senses only then, quickly threw himself away.
I hopped and rolled to the other side to disperse the aggro.
Quagga gaggaaa…!
The charge attack destroyed the entrance we entered.
I wasn’t upset either.
Because this first pattern was already expected.
The next pattern is…
‘Random aggro!’
Aggro would be attracted to one of the two at random.
But if Diaz were to pull aggro now, it would be a little different from my calculations.
‘If damage is done at the correct timing… it will turn into a certain aggro.’
I conjured a golden spear with my left hand and threw it at the Minotaur.
Pooh!
A golden spear was stabbed right into his back.
However, as expected, a one-shot, one-kill was impossible with this one.
As expected, it could be said that it was a toughness worthy of a mythical monster.
“Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
And there was also a terrifying sound of crying.
The guy turned his head at me.
“Kwoaaa!”
He screamed and attempted another charge attack.
By the way.
Beetle.
The guy whose balance was shaken for a moment caught my eye.
‘It doesn’t seem to work.’
Is it because it is a myth class skill?
He’s a guy who can’t be scratched with any skill…
How can you achieve such an effect in just one shot?
It was amazing.
And that momentary stagger gave me time to regroup.
“Whoa!”
I caught my breath.
to soothe the agitated mind.
My heart raced, and I suppressed the elation.
However, it was a little different from dealing with the devil.
It was a similar feeling to the virtual sparring with Romain.
‘My heart is beating…but my head is strangely cold. Nothing could be better, perfect!’
The corners of his lips rose slowly.
This moment was so much fun.
Now is the time to focus purely on combat!
At first I was afraid, but now I am confident.
‘can win…..!’
Minotaur getting closer.
It looked as if he was in slow motion.
Rather, I pushed forward.
“Kwoaaa!”
It was a minotaur that became more luminescent as I got closer.
The difference between him and me was stark.
If I was like ice, he was like a fire burning without end.
‘little bit more!’
I heard Diaz, who saw me continue to close the distance, scream in surprise.
“Ro, Rohan!”
But it didn’t stop.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
Only my own time that came back.
The world is choking, and only my heartbeat can be heard.
But at the same time, all the senses in my body became very sensitive.
felt it myself
that it has evolved one step.
“Kwaaa!
Now, the distance between the Minotaur and I has already reached a point where we can attack each other.
The Minotaur ran and swung his ax without hesitation.
Unlike before, I do not run away, but leap forward.
Booung!
dodge his attack.
Shaaagh!
I slid between my legs.
at the same time.
Awesome!
Cut the Minotaur’s Achilles tendon using space slash.
“Kuaaa!”
With a cry that could not be known whether it was screaming or shouting, the Minotaur stumbled.
‘Now!’
I grabbed the floor with my left arm.
Deed Dede Deuk!
Slow down with it.
Quack!
After grabbing the ground with all his strength, he raised his strength again and threw himself in the direction of the Minotaur.
If he had been ok, he would have reacted to such a sudden change of direction.
That mythical monster was too fast for its size.
So I put the work aside.
The Minotaur, whose ankle was already half blown off, was extremely slow to react.
“Cheer up!”
Even though I realized I was being shot, I couldn’t turn quickly.
I hit the floor once with my fist and rose high.
Booong……
The body that floated while maintaining the flying speed.
I aimed precisely at his head.
“Huh!”
Damn it, kwarleung!
Throwing out lightning like a storm, paralyzing him.
“Whoaaa!”
To swing the sword down.
Let’s go!
space cut out
After that, he uttered his last cry before dying.
“Ummmm…”
Whoops.
As he fell, the underground labyrinth shook.
