Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

It was the fifth day since I entered the maze. Yoohyun was finally close to the passage of the hierarchy. A clear reason to know that was the change around.

Since when did the vast forest reveal itself? It was hard to imagine inside the maze.

Walking down the path like a dark cave, the forest suddenly reveals itself. At first, they came into Aria, a group that was puzzled, but they all burst into cheer in Lute's story.

“There's probably a passageway to the sixth floor nearby. ”

But there were some who questioned Lute's words.

Langshashen asked Lute.

“It could be a passage down to the 8th floor, right? ”

“Oh, you mean that? You can't be sure if it's going up or down, but I've experienced the maze of this area several times, and the path up to the sixth floor has always been in these woods. So you can trust me. ”

“Okay, so what's the path to the 8th floor? ”

“· · · The 8th floor is remembered as a desert. It was a very painful experience. ”

Lute frowned and answered. It doesn't seem like a very good memory. Langshashen also made a small apology after smiling as if he had asked for something wrong.

The forest was lively enough to believe it was inside the maze. There was a cheerful energy going around and even the sound of birds flying around. But that did not reassure me.

After all, this forest was also part of the maze. There were as many monsters living in this place as there were environments suitable for living creatures. The vigilance should not be lowered.

Yoohyun began to move back the steps that had stopped.

It's a heterogeneous space, but it wasn't a very strange place. It was just convenient to think you were inside Aerya. The group seemed to adapt easily.

As I spread my magic around, I detected a few miracles. Small monsters whose combat abilities were close to zero. Sometimes I could see him wandering around in the bushes.

‘Can we find it in today? ’

It is Lute who guides the current path. You look familiar with this place, so you can expect it.

The back of Lute, who was moving forward without hesitation, seemed quite trustworthy.

How much he moved in the woods like that.

Lute stops walking. Then I look around.

Relaxed eyes sink cold. I think I found something.

Yoohyun, who was behind, spoke to Lute.

“What's going on? ”

“· · · That's what I mean. Would you like to take a look at the floor? ”

Yoohyun looked at the floor according to Lute. Then I saw several footprints. It doesn't belong to a monster. Footprints varied, and all shapes were different.

There was a clear indication that it was not so long ago.

· · · Human?

No · · ·. This was not a human footprint.

When the accident reached there, the tension that was loosening strongly tightened with the idea of going up to the sixth floor. Yoohyun pushes his tongue into his mouth and the garage moves his eyes along the trail of his footsteps.

These footprints lead forward. Yoohyun and I seem to have passed here before the group.

Lute says.

“It seems there are adventurers in this forest. Based on the trail, there's a good chance we're still in this forest. That's about seven people in total. ”

Lute's story heard a group swallowing their breath who wanted to do something behind their back. Yoohyun recalls his story with Lute last night. Maybe this is a good opportunity.

I'm thinking about something like that and Lute asks.

“What would you do? It might be a good way to ignore it. ”

That is true. In a way, it was a useless battle. Yoohyun's current goal was not to fight adventurers. Reaching [Asvarda].

But Yoohyun shook his head and said,

“· · · No. You better chase this trail. Can you Lute? ”

“Hmm. Got it. Then we'll try to track it down. ”

According to Yoohyun, Lute nods and starts tracking. Is it because of the arrival of adventurers who can say it's been a long time now? The group seemed nervous and lost their words.

*

It was about an hour after chasing the trail.

I heard a beep nearby. And at the same time, the screams of monsters. No one knows that the sound you hear right now is from combat. Percy said after hearing the raging.

“Looks like someone's been using magic around here? ”

“If it's magic · · ·. Is he also an adventurer?”

“Well, I guess so. Wouldn't monsters use magic? ”

Unlike Percy, who speaks plainly, Lee Seo-yeon has a tense face.

Song Ga-yeon said as the violence left a long fox.

“Brother, what should we do? Let's take a look. ”

“Can you do that? ”

Song Ga-yeon calmly nodded and summoned the spirit and began to move toward the place where the sound was heard. If Lute continues to track, you will find it, but at this time the song is much faster.

As Song Ga-yeon continued his search through the Spirit, the violence continued several times.

When the fifth beep was heard, Percy laughed.

“You're more classical than I thought. If you hit the back like this, you'll win easily. ”

It was a good laugh, as if you were ready to kill your opponent right away.

It was a smile, but the face of the southern archipelago who was looking at Percy was white.

“Brother · · ·. Goblins aren't the only ones, are they? ”

“This isn't Lorelai. ”

“Then, · · ·. Do we have the same kind of heterosexuals? ”

“Probably. ”

Do you remember what Yoohyun warned me about last night? The southern archipelago swallowed the saliva and took a long breath. Gil Yumi smiles, looking at the apparently tense face of the Southern Archer.

“What's wrong with you? Are you scared? ”

“· · · Stupid. So you're not gonna freak out? Right now, we might as well kill. You think we're fighting the Goblins right now? You might kill a human-looking race! ”

“· · · · · · murder? ”

Gil Yumi, who seemed to have no idea, was flawed and hardened. Then I groaned and looked at Yoohyun.

“· · · Is it different from fighting the Goblins? ”

“It must be different.”

Goblins look like monsters at last. So even during the tutorial, people didn't hesitate to kill Goblins. Even if you are a xenophobic race, you end up looking like a monster.

But if it's an elf, a dwarf, a Demibeast or something.

Horses are different. They obviously look like humans. It just seems unusual.

Hmm? What? Why are they so stiff?

Paredia seems to be wondering about the surrounding atmosphere.

It must be an incomprehensible sight on the part of a colonel who lived in a violent era when the Great War was raging. But I also notice the tension of the celestial painting, which is a real contractor.

Somewhat now I expected the same atmosphere.

Yoohyun said boldly, not comforting or angry.

“As in Lorelai, we will meet with adventurers several times in the future. Every time, they'll come at us with spears and swords. Every time you do that, you're just as scared as you are now? ”

“Well, you can't. ”

Gil Yumi smiles awkwardly and says: But the expression is still not good.

On the contrary, an awkward smile tells her how she feels.

The brave figure she showed when fighting monsters is currently invisible to her.

I can't help it. But it was also a step to go through anyway.

And that's how they react when they say they're still innocent.

I don't think it's bad. Rather, that is normal.

“I'm done locating. I'm currently fighting monsters about 200 meters away. ”

Even though I heard about coming and going among the group, Song Gyeong-yeon was always calm as always. Yoohyun asked as she looked at her black pupils as the cold light sat down.

“Do you know what the composition of the adventurers is? ”

“· · · I think they're all elves. ”

Elfra · · ·. Yoohyun remembered the time to talk to the southern archers. It must be a coincidence. I met the Elves the next day after that conversation. It was a difficult story to laugh about.

“Can you guide me to my current location? ”

“Yes. Follow me. ”

Even though I knew what the fight was going to be like, Song Ga-yeon moved without hesitation. The crossing of the forest is no different than usual. Yoohyun ran and looked at the group's complexion.

Again, it's still not good. This was not what I was told to shout.

You have to think for yourself.

“· · · Brother. Please don't hurt them too much. If Yumi or the Archers are the same, they have to kill their opponents directly with their weapons. Besides, unlike Lorelai, he didn't hurt us, so I don't think there's anything I can do to scare him off. ”

Song Gyeong-yeon, who was running from the front, said in a small voice so that he could only reach Yoohyun.

Then, Yoohyun could see that Song Gyeong-yeon was deliberately acting strong.

She also has nothing to fear. I'm just hiding it.

Quaaaaang.

The beep is repeated once again. The sound was bigger than before.

Evidence that the song is getting closer. Whenever that happens, I can see the song running in front of me waking my lips.

Yoohyun felt as he was getting closer, but I just remembered what Song Gyun said.

It's different than when Lorelai was born.

During Lorelai, I fought to live. Although the opponent may have been less hesitant in attacking him because he was a Goblin, there was certainly a cause at the time.

But what about now?

‘Yes, it's the wrong way. ’

Yoohyun laughed.

Then. I stopped walking.

“· · · Brother? ”

When Yoohyun stopped, the song song that was running in front of him stopped, and the group that was following him stopped.

Yoohyun said as everyone's eyes converged.

“I changed my mind. This time I just ignore and pass. ”

Killing your opponent to live. Yoohyun forgot for a moment that it was very important.

I had to feel it when I became a hunter, not a hunter.
