Episode 165 – The Nile Island
?”
“I think that’s right.”
How many hours has it been since you came here?
According to Stia’s brain, it is said that exactly 16 hours have passed, but you should be able to easily trust other people’s biological clocks.
‘From my experience, it feels like over 20 hours have passed.’
Well, even if Stia was right, 16 hours wasn’t a short time.
‘No. Should I say it only took me 16 hours to find the boss room on the first floor?’
When the attack on the 1st floor of Babel was in full swing, there were some people who had been wandering around for over a week and managed to come back.
At least, the traces left by someone are maintained unless the person who left them exits the labyrinth or dies, so they must have been able to find their way back.
“Then open it… ?”
Scarlett put her hand on the huge door leading to her boss room.
“Wait.”
Scarlett holds the door open. There’s something I haven’t decided yet… !
“Huh? Why?”
“Who catches the boss?”
Even if Stia is right, it has been about 16 hours since she entered this virtual labyrinth.
So far, all battles have been resolved by the two of Kania and me.
To be honest, even though I’m saving my energy, I’m still tired. But to fight the boss again?
However, I think it would be a little regretful if another kid came out to catch the boss.
Because I want to try to the extent that I can do something like this.
I don’t know my heart either!
It has been said since ancient times that a man’s heart is like a reed.
I can’t help my heart wandering here and there, so I’d rather the other kids decide who gets the boss.
Stia nodded at my question and asked.
“What do you want to do?”
Huh? Did you ask because you didn’t know that?
“Ummm….”
“We will do it.”
While I was thinking about it, Kania suddenly jumped out and said.
“We will do the first floor, so you guys will do the second floor.”
“So what?”
What is it?
While dazed for a while, Stia and Kania came to a conclusion.
Koo Goo Goong!
Then he slams open the door. I’m not ready yet… !
In a hurry, I summoned Durandal and grabbed him strongly.
And I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide at the scene unfolding before my eyes.
Because it was so unexpected.
A huge minotaur standing in the center, and two golems standing guard on either side.
The Minotaur looked 1.5 Times larger than other Minotaurs, and its entire body was black and impressive.
The golems also look much more sturdy than the golems I’ve seen so far.
Naturally, strength went into the hand holding the Durandal.
Are the guys in the boss room the ones you can’t beat with your specs?
No, honestly, they are enemies that can be cleaned up by yourself. Of course it’s pretty tiring.
The problem is the mage that is thickly spread throughout the labyrinth.
The existence of Magi is much more annoying than I thought.
It’s not as much as the black magic that was piled up around me when I fought Pennheim….
Not only does it slow down the recovery of magic power, but it also interferes with the movement of magic power, so your physical strength is consumed twice as fast as usual.
Even moving my body itself feels resistance, like struggling in deep water.
Not only that, but the thick magi continues to infiltrate the mind and continuously eats away at the human spirit.
Thanks to my strong mana and mental strength, I somehow prevent the demon from penetrating into my mind, but….
I can’t help the constant decrease in my physical strength just by the fact that I have to keep blocking that demonic energy.
Challenging the Labyrinth meant fighting while receiving penalties in such a demonic environment, from days to days at the shortest, weeks to months at the longest.
Moreover, the more demonic spirits they consume, the stronger they become….
Fortunately, Stia and I are less tired because we were blessed by the stars, but Scarlett didn’t even fight, but she was already tired.
If there was no magic in the labyrinth, there would be no reason to be called the labyrinth.
It must have been nothing more than a complicated maze where monsters sometimes popped out.
But the monsters that appear aren’t weak, so it wouldn’t have been possible for anyone to enter….
‘Without Magi, it would have been just a dungeon with a high level of difficulty.’
Quadduk….

The two black golems started moving first.
The Minotaur seemed unwilling to move until the Golems were beaten by the boss.
‘He’s standing in a very arrogant posture.’
That cheeky guy. I’ll give you some mental training today.
I do my best no matter what I decide to do.
Keying!
The purple star began to rotate as if responding to my heart.
Like a mossy cog, it rattled less once in a while….
‘My star is still four stars….’
If you become stronger and pass the Five Stars, reach the polarity.
You will not be bound by Magi.
‘Was Stia five star now?’
It’s only a difference of one star, but that one difference is significant.
I am on the verge of attaining five stars, while Stia is on the verge of reaching polarity.
‘It’s a long way to go….’
Yeah, at times like this, you have to work hard and catch up quickly.
To do that, first of all, you have to defeat the boss of the labyrinth.
The thin thread connected to Kania’s soul trembles! And tremble
The farther you are, the fainter it is, and the closer you are, the better you feel it.
With just that little movement, you can figure out her actions.
Taat!
The body is shot at the same time as Kania.
I point to the golem on the left, she to the golem on the right.
I’m not worried about Kania. Even though I’ve become a lot stronger, Kania is still superior.
Out of 10 fights, I lose 7 times.
Even I have a harder time losing to the golem in front of me, but I can’t get enough of Kania.
So I only pay attention to the golem in front of me.
Kiyiing——!
A purple star that starts spinning like crazy.
You can’t treat an elite mob that is guarding the boss as if you were dealing with a trash mob.
Care about your stamina, but do your best.
First of all, infuse magic into Durandal before getting close.
What it does is a degraded version of the newly developed sphere.
The name is just a stake. Do you need anything else?
‘Originally, it’s better to give a simple name to something like this.’
With that thought, he stretched out his sword. Purple magic is fired.
The shot of the sword strikes like a flash and pierces the center of the black golem’s chest.
Quaang!
Stakes do not disappear immediately after being hit once.
A stake is originally used to drive and fix in a hard place.
If you were going to use it only for offensive purposes, you wouldn’t have given it the name Stake.
Saaah!
The purple magic power extending from the tip of the left hand that was not holding the sword was connected to the stake in the golem’s chest.
Then, pull as hard as you can.
Good luck.
I can feel the muscles quivering and tendons sprouting from the tight arm.
It seemed like I could hear Dina exclaiming “Wow!” From behind.
Kung!
Unable to overcome my strength, the golem stretched out one foot forward to balance itself.
‘Now!’
Kicks off the ground and rises into the air.
At the same time, shorten the length of the magical thread connected to the stake and at the same time pull it with all your might, and the body starts to shoot forward at high speed.
However, due to the slight distance from the golem, it cannot reach the golem at once.
The speed at which it flies forward also decreases, and the body gradually sinks downward.
Kick the ground once more just before landing completely. At the same time, shorten the length of the thread once again and pull with all your might.
Yeah, just like Spider-Man… !
Whoa!
The golem strongly swings its arm at me.
Did you think I would just run in a straight line like this?
So shouldn’t we see that piles have virtually no use?
‘Well, since I can’t think of that, it must be a golem.’
After shortening the length of the magical thread again to make it taut, it kicks off the ground and launches itself sideways.
Then, the body floated in the air and rotated in a large circle based on the stake-embedded golem.
Then, when I completely grasped the back of the golem, I pulled the taut thread of magic power and thrust the spear into the back of the golem’s head with the sword.
A spear shot that shoots quickly.
I looked at it and thought.
‘No. This is no ordinary spear.’
Originally, the name Spear was given because it was embarrassing to call it simply a thrust.
A skill that shoots forward and pierces the enemy needs a different skill name.
First of all, Ilseom (一閃), which is a catchy name no matter where you put it, must be attached….
Purple, a spear that pierces enemies. Purple. Purple. Purple… Dina’s eyes… !
Yes, the name of the new technology is this.
D’Nile Island
What? Do you usually put both English and Chinese characters in one technical name?
What! It was supposed to be cool!
Jjoong!
The back of the head of the golem, which could not stop swinging its arms forward, was pierced like that.
By my The Neil Island!
Of course, I haven’t killed him yet.
Because I couldn’t break the golem’s core.
But D’Nile Island is cool!
