Chapter 025 The Labyrinth of the Minotaur (1)

People gathered in a park on the outskirts of Suwon City.

In the center of the group, the gate was open.

Unlike the other gates, the gate emitted an intense purple light and was twice as large.

“The Blue Dragon Guild failed again this time, right?”

“What kind of monster is inside?”

“The guild members who came back alive said it was a Minotaur.”

“A Minotaur?”

“You know that bull-headed monster from mythology?”

“know. Doesn’t it come up a lot in fantasy novels? Did you describe it as huge?”

“But, it doesn’t matter as long as it’s one, but the problem is the labyrinth.”

In the crowd around the gate, a figure who had been listening to the conversation between the two intervened.

“Did you just say labyrinth?”

The identity of that person was Kim Min-cheol.

“Yes, but who are you?”

“Oh, excuse me. Coming from the Awoken Society. Could you please listen closely?”

“ah! You were a member of the Society!”

The two told Mincheol Kim what they had heard.

“The blue dragon guild member said that it was difficult to find a way because of the complex labyrinth and that there was a limit to dealing with monsters because of the limited movement.”

“Yes, and it looks like there isn’t just one Minotaur inside.”

“Are you saying there are more monsters?”

“Yes, so be careful if you are taking on a challenge.”

“thank you for the information.”

Gathering information from people, Kim Min-cheol broke through the crowd and approached the gate.

“How did you get here?”

This gate was in charge of the military base in Suwon.

When a captain blocked the front, Kim Min-cheol showed his hunter ID.

“I am Kim Min-cheol from the association.”

“Ah, you are from the Association. Did you come alone?”

“Please. We came as a team.”

After Kim Min-chul said that, 10 hunters from behind the crowd came forward.

“We will go in as a team like this.”

“all right.”

“By any chance, is there a team that entered first?”

“Yes, I joined the Avengers Guild a while ago.”

“That’s really good.”

At the captain’s words, the man wearing a mask next to Kim Min-cheol said with his eyes shining.

“yes?”

“Wouldn’t it be easier to catch monsters if we worked together?”

Kim Min-cheol, who answered the questioning captain instead, stepped into the gate without hesitation.

The 10 hunters of the association following him were also together.

[Did you bring the kid for the maze?]

‘huh.’

A complex maze stretched out before us.

“Brothers and sisters. wait a minute.”

Hyuk, who was leading the way, raised his hand and looked left and right.

It was a fork in the road that was clearly divided.

“It’s on the right.”

“Can you really trust me? aren’t you filming? Are you a kid?”

“Just trust me! I will take you to a safe route.”

Hyuk spoke confidently to Soo-yeon, who was not trustworthy.

It has to be. There was a big change for Hyuk.

After establishing the guild, he immediately went to find Hyuk.

It was for official recruitment, but Hyuk, whom I met that day, was delighted with the progress he made.

Grade: B grade

The grade really went up, and Hyuk, who only had two skills, had one more skill called guidance.

‘This teaching skill is really great.’

At that time, Hyuk was excited and talked.

He was a high school student even though he was excited now.

The eternal youngest member of our team.

Min-young and Soo-yeon also liked Hyuk’s innocence.

“Hey Kid. If you believe in your abilities and act too badly, you will be in big trouble.”

“I have that much head. Do not worry.”

Despite Soo-yeon’s worries, Hyuk smiled and reassured her.

“Be careful though. You never know what will happen inside the gate.”

Min-young said that as well, perhaps because she was worried.

“Yes, I will be careful.”

“Hey Kid. Are the temperatures different between you and Minyoung?”

“Minyoung noona is pretty.”

“what?! Now, are you saying that I am not pretty?”

“Ah, please. Soo-yeon noona is pretty too.”

“Are you talking about spitting in your mouth?”

“Ahh. sorry.”

I wondered what to do if we were awkward with each other, but the three quickly became close after a few days of meeting.

“uh? Wait!”

Hyuk, who had been bullied for playing a prank on Suyeon, suddenly shouted with a serious expression.

“what? what’s the matter?”

Suyeon also looked around nervously at Hyuk’s words.

There was no discernible sign.

“There will be something around the front corner. If you see yellow flashing, it’s a warning.”

Hearing Hyuk’s words, we walked slowly, keeping our eyes on the front.

Chwik, Chwiik?

The identity of the warning that revealed its identity was an orc.

“Oak?”

[It’s been a long time since I’ve been an Orc.]

At first glance, it looked like a human, but it had long ears and sharp teeth.

Ugly Elf.

It was the nickname given to the orcs when they first appeared in our world.

[Did you know?]

‘What do you mean?’

[Just like the nickname your world gave them, they were originally fairies.]

omg. I didn’t know this.

[Well, talking about history will only hurt your mouth, and you can simply think of the fallen fairies as orcs.]

‘But I can’t speak.’

[Since it has been degenerated by a curse, only instinct remains. Because of that, the old language was forgotten. Instead, they have their own communication.]

‘By the way, were Orcs also a herd race?’

[Yes. It can’t be that guy alone.]

There are several tribes that form a herd.

The Lizardmen I met the other day were also living in groups.

Chwiek. Chwiik. Acquire!

The guy tilted his head at us and then made a pig-picking sound.

[Calling a colleague.]

‘I know that much by sight.’

Chwii… … !

Blasphemy!

I froze the screaming guy entirely.

“Soon the Orcs will come. Prepare for battle.”

“omg. Brother, are we too dangerous?”

“How much?”

There were stages in Hyuk’s notification.

“The highest grade. There is no chance for us.”

I had never entered this dungeon before returning, so the only information I could know was that it was in the form of a maze known externally at the time, and that the boss was a Minotaur.

“If that’s the case, I guess the reason the Blue Dragon Guild failed is because of these guys?”

“Sure. Should I retreat?”

I smiled at Soo-yeon who was worried and Min-young who asked me.

If Hyuk’s notification is the highest grade, it is correct to avoid it.

However, we had a trump card.

Perhaps Hyuk’s abilities were not taken into account by Gillian.

‘Gilliant, haven’t you used your strength in a while?’

[Your strength would be enough?]

‘Don’t talk, help me. If Hyuk’s ability is at the highest level, then I’m having a hard time too.’

Perhaps, had I been able to do it alone, it might have ended at a warning level.

However, if the highest grade came out, there is only one answer.

[Is that a lot of numbers?]

‘Because no matter how good a longevity is, they are pushed back in front of a large army.’

[Even if you use the passageway to deal with it, your stamina is a problem.]

‘Anyway, are you going to help me or not? Help me at least until I link the skill.’

[i get it. go out.]

When Gilliant came out of the necklace, Hyuk was startled.

“Whoa! A dragon from my brother’s necklace!”

“It’s on our side.”

“Was the dragon your pet?”

[bantling. I’m not a pet, but a business relationship… … .]

“He quacks a lot.”

“Ignore it.”

[Ah-oh! stuffy.]

Although Gilliant had grown quite large, he was still unable to communicate with others.

A group of orcs rushed in front of Gillian, who was frustrated and waddled.

“No, what kind of orcs are in this labyrinth?”

Soo-yeon looked at the scene and said as if she was dumbfounded.

Still, it was not impossible as the width was about two lanes.

“Hyukah, how are you now? Is it worth it?”

“uh? I see. Now it’s just down to the warning level!”

“Then, shall I go too?”

When I opened the archive for the skill link, the character cards I had collected so far were organized and displayed in the form of a booklet.

[Person Card][Possession∨]

[search : ]

[S grade] [Douglas]

[Grade A] [Adelina]

[Class A] [Cecilius]

[Class B] [Shunnen]

[Grade E] [Killian]

◀[1/5]▶

I must have collected quite a lot, and the longevity increased to 5.

Now that I have a combination skill, I’ll have to clean it up once I finish this gate.

[Link Start]

The reason why I didn’t make a link before entering the dungeon was that the person I needed would be different depending on the time.

When there were so many enemies, it seemed like it would be nice to have Douglas’ charge and Adelina’s spearmanship.

[The skill is full, so only one of the two S-class skills is linked.]

*Support Skill[5/5]▼

┗Class C appraisal (fixed)

┗Class E assassin’s swordsmanship (48 hours)

┗B-level physical strength increase (48 hours)

┗Class Adelina’s Spear (24 hours)

┗S-class charge (12 hours)

Originally, two skills were linked from S-rank cards.

I chose four because I thought I would absolutely need them this time, but the system took care of excluding them because their skills were full.

If I had a choice, I’d change Killian’s new swordsmanship skill.

It was a bit disappointing that the swordsmanship skill came out when there was no sword.

It’s about time you’re ready.

Acquire!

The one who rushed in first flew to the group behind him with the magic of the Gilliant in front of him.

Chwiik! Acquire!

When their comrades flew in, they fled and left him to roll around, then rushed at us with more heat.

[Hmph, these guys can’t even take a bite!]

Saying that, Gilliant opened his mouth, and soon after, huge flames poured out in front.

Roaring!

As the flames subsided, what was visible was the appearance of all the orcs who were charging from the front, burnt to black.

[I can only breathe once. I cut it in half, so now take care of it.]

“that’s enough. thank you.”

I pulled out the flame spear and walked forward past Gillian.

‘Increase in physical strength, Adelina’s spearmanship.’

First of all, after raising my physical strength and activating Adelina’s spearmanship, I gathered the element of wind at the tip of the spear as always.

‘rush.’

I ran quickly with my spear at the forefront and passed through the orc group.

After I passed, only the burnt corpses of the orcs fell.

*

“and… … .”

Kang Hyuk stared at Yoo Seo-joon fighting in front of him.

Seo-jun, who entered the middle of the orc group, was taking care of the orcs with a graceful swing of his spear.

It was even splendid that colorful mana spread due to the elemental magic he spread at the same time as stabbing and slashing with a spear.

“Hyuk! Don’t be fooled, stay behind while Minyoung is guarding you.”

“ah! yes!”

Soo-yeon, who gave instructions to Hyuk, took two daggers and stepped out to help Seo-jun.

While Seo-jun and Su-yeon fought in front, Gillian took care of the orcs who ran away from the two.

“what?”

Looking at them, Hyuk caught something strange.

Red Mana pointed to the back.

Red was the highest level of warning.

Instinct took the lead and he shouted at Min-young.

“Minyoung sister! Avoid!”

Hyuk shouted at Min-young in a hurry and grabbed her hand and dragged her.

bang!

At the same time, a huge double-edged ax was driven into their place.

“omg. Thank you, Hyuk. I lived thanks to you.”

While expressing gratitude to Hyuk, the two men’s eyes widened to the size of a bell when they saw the being that attacked them for a moment.

Gillian looked back at the turmoil and hurriedly flew up, flapping his wings.

[sh*t! Why is the guy who should be in the middle of the labyrinth crawling out already, damn it!]

“Seo, Seo-joon hyung! It’s a Minotaur!”

Seeing the giant Minotaur easily pulling out a huge ax stuck in the ground, Hyuk desperately shouted to Seo-Jun.

The Minotaur looked down at Hyuk, snorted, and swung the ax.
