Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

“Come on. Come this way. This is a great spot. ”

Ryoko greets Yoohyun with a single smiling face. Yoohyun, who breaks through Lorelai's Aria and arrives in the canyon, asks her without a tired expression.

“So what do you want to show me? ”

“You'd better see for yourself. ”

She shifts slightly to the side as she leaves. Yoohyun walked beside her and saw the sight unfolding in front of her eyes. As I lowered my head, I saw a glimpse of the canyon.

As soon as I saw this, I thought I'd found a place like this.

“.. hmm. ”

Seeing the canyon, Yoohyun realizes that adventurers are trying to attack Lorelai. It was strange to say that only the horns of Iron Horn came to collect.

The bodies of the Uracenes were scattered around whether they were fighting the Uracenes, but they seemed to be cleared to some extent. Goblins were currently setting up camps around the canyon.

But the camp is enormous in size. From that movement, I can see that there is something else that is not harvesting the horn of Iron Horn.

That movement will be the future Langshashen saw.

Given the time it took to collect the horns of the Iron Horn, they were preparing to stay longer.

“I don't think all the adventurers are here yet. Another group of adventurers joined us before you came. ”

Ryoko said with his head bent down beside Yoohyun's face. While waiting for the players, Ryoko carefully checked what was happening in the canyon.

Another group of adventurers joined behind the adventurers who initially fought the Uracenes. That is already the third time. I wish this was the last time, but I felt like it wouldn't be.

Yoohyun opens his mouth after thinking for a moment about Ryoko's words.

“That means there's still time. ”

“Probably, right? We're actually just gathering in the canyon, and there's no movement yet. I watched other roads, but I didn't see any adventurers moving apart. ”

Is it aimed at gathering?

Then what are the Dwarves doing now? I think Yoohyun has found the Dwarves.

It stops not far from where it was moving. The dwarves are cutting the horns of the Iron Horn beneath the canyon. Other Goblins are also gathering to cut the horns of the Iron Horn.

First of all, you should collect horns first.

Yoohyun counts the Dwarves.

"Five."

Given the number of Goblin adventurers, this is a minority. But the threat remains unchanged.

“Yoohyun, why don't you sneak in now? ”

Ryoko, who was speechless, brings out the story.

Yoohyun shook his head. If that's what you think, Yoohyun also said.

“It's going to be hard. ”

“Why?”

“There's a shield built by the wizards nearby. Soon as we get close, they'll notice. And when we think of it as the same number of fights, we have lower odds. ”

“.. is that so? ”

In Yoohyun's words, Ryoko had a slightly depressed expression.

It's good to look down the canyon right now, but if you want to attack them eventually, you have to go the other way. There was a shield there. I checked everything before I came here.

It was obvious to be baptized with magic by the Goblin wizards.

It was a little difficult to get behind them as long as there was a shield. The magnitude of the shield was quite large when I saw that the stones for maintaining the shield were embedded in it.

Even if you take a few steps, the shield will tell you about human access.

In fact, the most surprising thing Ryoko showed me was that this is where I can ignore the shield and watch. I was lucky to find this gap.

“Follow me. We have something for the players to talk about. ”

Yoohyun called Ryoko because he thought there was nothing more to check.

Ryoko nods and follows Yoohyun.

When I checked the status of the adventurers and came back, I could see a heavy atmosphere roaming among the players. Yoohyun and Ryoko naturally joined the party where the leaders of each party gathered.

“... as well. Too many.”

Renard looks down at the map as he says that. The map prepared precisely by Ryoko's clans was certainly satisfying, but his expression was not bright.

His face was heavy because there were too many adventurers. While Yoohyun strolls on the other side, Lenard also fights adventurers a few times.

They were not easy opponents. In fact, some parties almost went to the brink of extinction. Because of this, dozens of people rush in and play at once when hunting adventurers.

But this time, the dominance of that number was not available. Rather, the fact that numbers may be pushing this way has made players nervous.

Yoohyun is in an atmosphere so heavy that he can't breathe.

“We need to disperse them and confuse them. We have to make sure we don't even know where the dungeon is. ”

Renald, who had a thoughtful face for a while, stared at Yoohyun.

“So you're really going to do what you say? ”

“I'd better do that. ”

“Dangerous.”

When Lenard warned with a serious eye, Ryoko, who was next to him, made a curious face. I was only in the maze, so I had no idea what was coming and going on between the players in the last hour.

“But I assure you, it works. ”

With distrust, doubts, and such feelings, Ryoko ended up unbearably asking questions.

“What are you talking about? ”

Renard answered her question instead of Yoohyun.

“Yoohyun is the bait. You said you could gather the eyes of adventurers. ”

“... what, that's it. ”

Ryoko frowns and stares at Yoohyun. I don't know what you're thinking, but it smells dangerous from being a decoy.

“But is that really possible? I'm not going to tell you that I'm taking risks on my own, but I don't want to do anything to make things worse. ”

It was a man named Andresen who voiced disbelief. He was in a small position to lead the players compared to Lenard, Bulsao and Demons.

Yoohyun smiled at Andresen's question.

“So you're going to die like this? Or it wouldn't be bad if we all became Maze Mias together. ”

“......... ”

Unlike a smile, my voice is sinking and I feel even creepy. In Yoohyun's words, Andresen turned his gaze. Yoohyun took his eyes off him and looked at others.

“We don't have a way at the moment. You all know it's stupid to bump into them head-on. We have to disperse them further somehow. ”

As Yoohyun knows, the only people here are those who have touched the adventurers. When Yoohyun's party wandered the maze for a month, they also prevented adventurers from accessing it.

“Yoohyun. Let me ask you one question. ”

Lenald asks.

“I have no idea when they'll give us up. Maybe it's us that fall down first. But you want to bait yourself? ”

“I won't have to worry. The question is, how well can the players here fight? ”

In Yoohyun's words, some players complained that he was crazy. Ryoko, who was next to him, felt a little embarrassed and wanted to stop him. But seeing his face, I couldn't tell.

“Got it."

Finally, Nazic nods, as if Lenard had given up.

The night comes. Yoohyun calls Lute when the time comes.

“Are you sure you want to do this? ”

As a lute who already knew what Yoohyun was going to say, I was forced to have a worried little voice. Yoohyun, who finished arming, wasn't that nervous.

“You have to. It's enough to confuse me now. ”

Yoohyun's answer made Lute laugh bitterly. I know very well that I am not the one to stop.

“I won't stop you from saying that. ”

“Take care of the party while I'm gone.

“Don't worry. I'm familiar with the role of a blacksmith. ”

Players' operational policies were set.

It was divided into seven groups of parties to deal with adventurers in the maze.

The first goal is to stop adventurers from reaching the dungeon. You don't have to exterminate adventurers. All I had to do was stop them from finding the dungeon.

Such rules, of course, also included Yoohyun's group. However, it was Lute who was in charge of the party at that time, not Yoohyun, who decided to take over for a while.

Yoohyun pats Lute's shoulders with a trustworthy face and raises his body.

It's hunting time.
