“By the way, how do you intend to deal with it? ”

Lute, who was watching as he killed Elder Labirac, asked. Yoohyun sighs at Lute's question, pondering for a moment and laughs bitterly.

At the end of the fight, the group's luggage was dropped by the return stone.

“Yes, we can't carry this much. ”

“Yes, I'm going to have to throw some away. Do I have to take a piece of the devil's stone with me? ”

The Return Stone only moves the user's flesh. It does not move even the items that the user had. It also included clothes.

Is it because of that?

Yoohyun blurred his face for a while, looking at the clothes he had lost and left behind, or his backpack.

They're all money. It's too bad to just throw away your armor and weapons.

Looking at the crowd's burden, Yoohyun quickly ends his worries and nods.

“Let's just rewrite it all. ”

“It's going to cost a lot of money. ”

“There he is. ”

“Hmm. Got it. ”

Yoohyun tucks and touches Elder Labirac at his feet. Lute stares at Elder Labirac under Yoohyun's feet with his thin eyes and nods.

Now that you've captured Elder Labirac, I'll shoot you in return. Moreover, if it is the cornerstone of Elder Labirac, Lorelai will buy it for a very expensive price. He's a moneymaker of many things.

“Besides, it would be a good idea to adapt the new equipment to cheer up the kids. When I get back to Lorelai, I'm going to try to be extravagant. That way the kids will feel better, too. ”

“I'm sure it might. If you wake up, you'll be worried about us a lot. ”

Lute nodded as if he liked Yoohyun's opinion, and immediately began to search the group's luggage. I was prioritizing light, high priced items like potions.

Yoohyun immediately began to collect the Stone from Elder Ravirac for Lute's actions. Common monsters sometimes have small stones that are difficult to collect, but not name monsters.

Starting to dissect around with a familiar hand twist with a dismantling knife, Elder Lavirac's Stone was discovered in less than a minute. His Stone was definitely bigger than the other monsters.

What came out of him was a brilliant green stone.

The size of an adult man's fist was only one, but it was clear that this was a huge size. I like the size of it, which is not held by one hand. I roll it into my hand several times.

“It'll be a lot of money. ”

Yoohyun recalls his memory and smiles roughly at the price. That's enough to fit your kids' gear.

Yoohyun quickly picked up the important items from the group and left. It took a lot of time for the kids to survive. The wolves must have chased him all the way around.

It was better to leave before they noticed this side.

The return path between Lute and the two was very tedious. In the meantime, Gil Yumi or the Southern Archer said something so they wouldn't get bored, but now there's nothing like that.

Yoohyun wasn't the type to tell a story first, and Lute just walked without a word with an unthinkable face. Only silence hovered in the company of the two.

At least when the story came out, it was a combat situation.

But even that was just a short message to each other. Even though your group has been reduced a lot, you can win all of them neatly without the risk of repeated battles.

Yoohyun and Lute slaughtered monsters without saving each other's strength.

'That's what I thought.'

Seeing Lute's sword, Yoohyun can see that he was hiding his power. In the meantime, while exploring the maze, I have shown a lot of weakness in many ways, but it seems to be deliberate.

Kaaaaaaah!

Yoohyun fell to his senses for a moment, staring coldly at the monsters of the labyrinth, who were painfully slashed by the sword.

Song Ga-yeon, Lee Seo-yeon, and now Lorelai's temple will open their eyes. What do they look like when they open their eyes? Yoohyun wondered about it.

“Something's coming this way. What are we going to do?"

Lute's words woke him up from memory.

Yoohyun glances back at the direction he points at, listening to Lute. Obviously, I was listening to footsteps. Yoohyun was convinced that the coming opponent was human.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and the sound of words was coming.

Khh. Finally came out to the maze.

If it wasn't for Lenard, it would've taken a few more days.

Wow, this is the maze. Definitely from the air. I think I'm going to fight monsters in a place like this, so I've been creeping my whole body out.

Everybody, wake up. This is a maze. You should be nervous.

Captain Lenald!

Leonard?

A familiar name was being heard in the stories.

Leonard. A man who told Yoohyun to come to his party at the training camp.

His harsh eyes, which are noticeable among other players, come to mind.

And it turns out that Lenard will be exploring the maze as well.

I think I've succeeded in entering the maze. Given that many parties are still not getting out of Lorelai's elite, this has been a remarkable achievement.

“I think it's players. But you're already in the maze. You must be a good person. ”

At the sound of it, Lute mutters like that and strokes his chin with his fingers. The inside of the wall beyond the thin eyes was sparkling as interesting. Besides his own party, it seems strange that another party came out of the maze.

It didn't take long for Yoohyun and Lute to find Renard's party when they started moving. Renard's party finds Yoohyun and Lute and stops as if surprised.

Lenald, who led the party in front of him, confirms that he is not an enemy and releases his power from his eyes.

“· · · You. Yoohyun? Are you exploring the maze one step faster than us? No, I guess I'm already finishing my expedition and going back. ”

Renald checks Yoohyun's outfit and makes his decision. Moreover, even thinking about direction, he was heading back to Lorelai. Not far from here is Lorelai's entrance.

Looking slowly at Yoohyun, Lenald frowns at his glance, noticing something empty.

“Where are your kids? Why is it that only the servant of the bad fairy is there? ”

The kid Renard was talking about, he was talking about Yoohyun's group.

Lute looks sad when he says he's a servant of the fairy. He scratches the ball and laughs. I know some of the players have enemies with the Elf Expeditionary Force, but I didn't know how to do it openly.

Yoohyun replied boldly to Leonard's words.

“You have been returned to Lorelai by a return stone. ”

“Did you use the Return Stone? ”

Lenald fills his tongue. I am disappointed by the heavy look in Yoohyun's eyes.

He was expecting Yoohyun a lot. He is thinking highly of his abilities. In fact, considering the achievements he has demonstrated in Aria, he must have had an outstanding ability.

But he almost lost a colleague in such a maze.

The return stone is automatically used when the user falls into a state just before death.

When used, it becomes a teleportation to a registered dungeon. It was quite expensive, but if you think you can save your life in case you don't know it, it was one of the things you should buy with a lot of money.

Renard, who stares at Yoohyun without a word for a while, speaks in a heavy voice.

“I don't know what's going on right now, but I hope no one else is dead. ”

“You don't have to worry about that. Luckily, they're all alive. There are no dead comrades before the return stone is activated. However, he must be worried about us with his eyes open right now. ”

“Is that so? That's a good thing. ”

Yoohyun looks at his colleagues behind Renald who are nodding.

I have a slightly nervous face to see if everyone is listening right now.

Yoohyun's story was a big stimulus to them. It was they who believed in Renard, but I couldn't help but be nervous by hearing the story of a man who almost lost a colleague right in front of me.

“You must be nervous in the maze. This man in front of you is a man who has never used a return stone in Aria. Probably the only one in Lorelai. ”

Leonard, who was talking to Yoohyun, tells his colleague if he knows about it.

In Renard's words, his group stares at Yoohyun with their eyes wide open.

The return stone felt like an emergency escape. It was a powerful tool when in a dangerous situation that could not escape. Regardless of Lenard's ability, he has been in danger several times within Aria.

Most of them managed to escape safely, but once they had no choice but to use the return stone.

On the day when I barely lost my life, everyone praised the power of the return stone. I really thought everyone was going to die at the time.

Even Renard once used a return stone in Aria, and Yoohyun was forced to feel great because he went around Aria without using it once.

However, it was the first party to use a stone in the maze.

Renald emphasized that.

“Such a party used more than half the stone in the maze. So you should all be nervous. Unless you really want to die. ”

In Lenald's voice, which was heavily lowered, all his companions swallowed the saliva.
