Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

'It's already night. ’

Yoohyun felt more and more confused around him. Darkness is coming to the maze. All the light that was weak disappears. The group also said a little more about how they noticed it.

The flow of time in the labyrinth was of no great significance. It was the work of unknown spirits floating around the labyrinth to decide between night and day. Even daylight hours maintained in each region were different.

I brought a lantern for that. Thanks to this, the spirits do not have a problem walking around the maze even when they are asleep.

However, Yoohyun stops the group by checking the spirits as the light is diminishing. For now, there is no such thing as a destination, so it was meaningless to attack the assailant.

I checked the faces of the group and everyone looked tired. If you're thinking about moving diligently tomorrow, it would be a better option to stop here.

“I have to spend the night here today. ”

Yoohyun said with his luggage down first. The group then loosened up with their luggage on their shoulders. Gil Yumi stretches out his arms and moans with his base dog.

“Hua · · ·. It was hard.”

“Well, there was no fight in the maze. ”

“You must have been lucky. I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow. ”

Lee Seo-yeon and Gil Yumi sat in the right place and talked about it. Slowly inhale the water and exhale. It was like organizing a day today.

As you two said, I've never fought in a maze before today. It was a fairly comparable story considering what we fought in Aria to get out of the maze.

Nam Gun Minh also asked Yoohyun as she was loosening her hard shoulders today, moving her arms round in suspicion.

“Is this where your labyrinth was originally? I think it's different from what I heard at the training camp. ”

“Hmm · · ·. Maybe the beginner's luck is following him. But there's one thing I can tell you. ”

“You know one thing? ”

The southern archer, who was tightening his armor while unpacking, curled his head.

“Is there a fierce fight between monsters around here right now? ”

“· · · A fierce fight? ”

“We certainly haven't fought monsters today, but we've seen a lot of bodies. You may be lucky that you didn't have a fight today, but in a way, you went exploring when it wasn't a very good situation. ”

In Yoohyun's words, the southern archipelago looked a little serious.

“Definitely. It seemed like most of them were fighting wolves. ”

I've seen as many wolf corpses as I've seen many monsters.

The number of bodies we've seen so far is more than a dozen. That's how big the herd will be. But I don't want to check it out.

If you encounter such a large crowd, it will be annihilated. Moreover, the wolf herd seems to be at war with monsters nearby. It's more lively than ever.

There, Yoohyun said.

“This is what we're going to report to the fairies. Achievement scores are getting better as much as worthwhile. ”

“For exploration reporting, see · ·. Hmm. It was like this. ”

The stories in the maze were important. I don't think that's a big deal, but maybe that'll happen later. If the wolves took over the maze near here completely, the next place they would enter would be Lorelai's Arena.

The maze was a rough place. By comparison, Aria was rich in everything compared to the maze.

There's no reason for the peaceful people here not to be after Aria. As a species breeding creature, it was inevitable as long as it had a natural instinct.

But do you really think the wolves will be able to take over this area?

Yoohyun answered that question, well.

The maze was always a place of change. Even if the wolves tore all the monsters to death, the next day monsters from other regions might come. They will fight endlessly.

But one thing is clear.

“· · · I think they already know us. ”

It is that the okay maze exploration is making Yoohyun even more uneasy. No matter where the group was, it was wolf territory.

Beep.

A low alarm sounds. Yoohyun opened his eyes to the sound.

The identity of this sound came from the shield that Lute set up. A beep that tells you something's breaking in. The Lute, who was already awakening, quickly pulled out his sword and raised himself up.

The pale blue inside of the wall is already staring at the darkness. There are no miracles yet. But he'll be here soon. They are already moving without sound.

Magic is also convenient in this respect. Lute, who discovered Yoohyun had happened, opened his mouth.

“Looks like they were waiting for us to relax. They are intelligent people. ”

His voice was calm. Lute would have been in deep sleep just now, but the atmosphere was already as sharp as a blade. Looking at that, I think I see another side of Lute.

He's always laughing like an annoyance, but he's a reliable guy at this point.

Yoohyun remarked, grabbing the armament that was falling apart.

“Wake the kids up first. I'll stand guard. ”

“Got it.”

Exhale long and gently circulate magical power to every corner of the body.

Then the sleep disappears in an instant. I could feel my senses turning sharper than ever before in a ritual that was forced to awaken by magic. It's not very pleasant, but it's useful in this case.

Turn on lanterns carefully, enhancing your vision through magic power.

Then I saw the eyes of the beasts glowing in gold in the darkness. It was a wolf. It was also a herd of considerable numbers. As he watched the crowd approaching, Yoohyun filled his tongue.

Without strengthening my vision through magic, I was able to check the movements of those who wriggle in the darkness. That's how close I got. I can also hear their breathing.

The breath of the beasts melting in the darkness, its unpleasant sound echoes the labyrinth. Their behavior seems quite seasoned as they calmly peek at the opportunity. Maybe stronger than the ones we met in Aria.

Fortunately, though,

“Well, what are these? There are so many of them!”

“First, pick up your weapons! They look like they're gonna run right now! ”

Lute succeeded in waking them up one after the other, and he heard a startling voice behind his back.

Everyone wakes up quickly and holds the weapon in their hands.

“At least it's good to know the situation before they besiege us. ”

“· · · Like this? Looks like he's already surrounded. ”

Once I told them to cheer up, the children blurred their faces in a half-surrounded sentence. I don't think I've ever been to this level in Aria, so I'm not used to it.

But it was common in mazes. Monsters who have always fought among predators.

Moreover, Lorelai's elite was not that high, so it was stupid considering the monsters I met in Elijah.

It was then.

“The total number is 18. Luckily, there's no other herd nearby. Once we take care of these guys, we'll be safe. ”

Song Song Song, who did not lose calm in the current situation, said in a cold voice. I can't see her being restless. Rather, he was pulling a dagger from his waist with a stubborn face.

Yoohyun reaches the level of the group with the numbers she has identified through the Spirit in her ear.

Calculations did not lead to long delays.

"It's a crowd."

The children became very strong. The fight that took place in Aria certainly allowed them to grow a lot. The level of growth is proof of that. But not enough is not enough.

Numbers are the most numerous fights I've ever had. Its strength is not weak either. Moreover, as a group, they were accustomed to collective fighting. It was too much to think about positively.

Finally, Lute looks at this side to see if he was thinking the same thing.

‘What are you going to do? ’

He was rather laughing even in times of crisis. Even now, my eyes are curled up. The sharpness that I saw when I woke up, I wonder where the hell it went.

The reason he can afford that is easy to guess.

Nor does Lute believe in his own power.

He's just a kid.

I just knew.

“· · · First, let's reduce the number so that the kids can deal with it. ”

That Yoohyun has never fought with all his might in front of the children.

What Lute had seen so far was Yoohyun, who had fought modestly enough to pull out the limits of his children.
