Level Up

“Huff! Huff! ”

Ryan sighs roughly. I don't know how long I've been fighting. The magic was on the floor, and there was not a single body.

Not only Ryan, but the rest of the group. Even Ryu Hye-yeon, a healer, was the same.

“Potions first. ”

Ryan says everyone took out a potion and swallowed it. And I poured my wounds everywhere generously.

The wound began to heal rapidly. And my strength and magic were gradually depleted.

“Phew.”

Ryan takes a deep breath and takes a deep breath. And you look at Whitehall, floating in the air, far away.

The Horsemen have gone to Whitehall. Perhaps it would not have been so easy to survive.

The number of the Horses was enormous.

“What do we do now? Shouldn't we go in there and check? ”

“Over there?"

Ryan looks at Whitehall with a shivering look.

I just saw a huge number of horses go in there. I was reluctant to go in there.

But it had to be done. There are so many Horses that have crossed Whitehall, how can they just watch?

“But the Maw were able to cross Whitehall. ”

Lyon's indifferent muttering makes everyone look stiff. That can't be right. If I had, I wouldn't have let the Horsemen stay in the cage until now.

Everyone's gaze is once again on Whitehall.

For some reason, I had an ominous feeling that it wasn't just an ordinary Whitehall.

Everyone woke up in their seats.

“Go in and run away if you don't want to. Okay?”

Everyone nods at Ryan. I was gonna do it anyway.

If you have a horse, you'd better get rid of it quickly. That was also the tendency of Ryan and his team's main quest.

Everyone quickly entered Whitehall.

The world has changed. And seeing the scene unfolding before my eyes, everyone's face and body became stiff.

No one opens their mouth. But it was clear that this was not normal.

You take a slight step back and head over the Huddak Whitehall.

The group looks at each other with bored eyes.

“Am I... seeing this right now? ”

“If you can see the Horses eating them, you can see the same thing I can. ”

“First... let's get out of here. I don't think they cared about us because they were... distracted. They must have been caught. We'll never make it back here. ”

Everyone agreed with Ryan. They hurried out of there. And then I remembered what I saw in Whitehall.

The Horsemen who entered Whitehall were merely food.

There are much larger and more powerful horsemen in there. Those horses are feeding on the weaker ones.

Every time I ate a Horse, the power of the predators increased dramatically, as if it were a transition.

It was even more terrifying and frightening because it felt clear through the subtle wavelength of its magical power.

“How many were there? ”

“It was…… eighteen. ”

Everyone's faces turned dark. I really didn't think anyone could stop them if they jumped out here.

Can our commander stop it? ’

I suddenly felt that way about Ryan's brain. But I wasn't sure I could stop it.

The horror and horror of what the Horsemen saw in there gave me.

“It can't be...... they're not going to make it to Earth? ”

“No way. The Horses...... won't make it past Whitehall. ”

However, I wasn't sure what Ryu Ji-hye would say.

The anxiety rises like smoke.

* * *

The stone has reached the end of the Grand Maze.

I don't know how many Dark Horses I've dealt with since I got here.

Hyun-seok took only the most horsepower road.

It wasn't that hard to find the path to the Grand Maze. I knew all about the maze.

In the beginning, the maze of the Grand Maze was made different every time the door was opened.

So, as soon as Hyun-Seok first came here, what he did was make a map.

Making a map of the Grand Maze wasn't harder than I thought. Because there was a map stored in the maze.

It was over once we analyzed the magic patterns that existed to form the maze in the first place.

Based on the map you made, you sent a punitive force everywhere.

The most important thing that the punitive force had to do was kill and purify as many Dark Horsemen as possible until the stone reached the end of the Grand Maze.

Arriving at the end of the Grand Maze, the stride slowly walks towards the white crate in the middle of the giant pupil.

There were seals engraved all over the crate, similar to pure white eggs.

Also engraved on the entire pupil was an intricate magic cast. It was also a magician that strengthened the sealing of the chest.

But the seal itself had reached its limit. Perhaps the seal will be broken and the crate will open no matter what the stone does.

But I didn't intend to let it happen. If we wanted to hit the Demon King in here, now would be our best chance.

Through the nature of the magical power flowing out of the box, Hyundai was able to guess what kind of power the Demon King had in it.

It was dark as well as the magic that filled the maze.

And the magical power that constantly flowed from this box was also the dark magic.

So we needed the power of strong light to strike this darkness.

Hyun-seok raised his hands in front of his chest. I floated the space like there was a virtual ball in the middle.

And then I gathered my magic.

Whoa!

There was intense light between the palms of my hands. The beads of light were made to contain the magical power of light.

Hyundai put all his magical power into it. There were many ways to replenish it.

So I made a bead of light with the idea of putting everything into this one room.

The beads of condensed and condensed light soon lose their light. No, it seemed to have lost its light.

A transparent bead was placed on the palm of the hand of the stone.

He took the orb and put it on the box and pressed it with his fingers.

Surprisingly, the transparent bead passes through the crate and plunges into it.

And there was a huge explosion of light. It must have happened in the box, but the intense light was radiating out of the box.

It breaks the seal of the chest. And the magic part of the pupil that was reinforcing it broke.

“Rrrrghhh!”

The screams close to the monster shake your pupils. And the last of the umbrellas mounted on the Grand Maze were triggered.

Aaaaah!

A beam of light emanates from the entire pupil, and it collects and straightens out where the coffin was.

“Kuwoah!”

With a loud scream, the maze loses its power.

Hyundai glanced quietly at the existence that had appeared through all of those obstacles.

[Demon King of Darkness]

As expected, he was the Demon King who dealt with the forces of darkness. His expression was distorted without reason.

“Wonderful.”

Hyun-seok was ready to fight, mumbling like that. I was in a good condition because I did everything I could to recover my magic and health during the light explosion.

Nevertheless, I did not feel that I could overwhelm the Dark Lord in front of me.

The Demon King of Darkness was different from the Demon King of Death. It was much stronger than that.

“Khhh. Finally... you're off this bloody leash. Kuhahahaha!”

The Demon King of Darkness laughs out loud. At that moment, a stone rushed towards the Dark Lord.

Kwaaah!

A battle has begun with a great thunder.

* * *

After finishing the purification with just a piece of garlic, Canis suddenly looked around in a eerie feeling of attack all over his body.

The warriors who were with him were trembling to see if they felt the same.

“What's going on? ”

Canis mutters, trembling. I thought, why are you shaking so much? It was because of fear.

Why do I get so scared?

The moment I thought about it, a white whirlpool appeared in the air. The whirlpool quickly grows, wielding all warriors, including Canis.

The whirlpool disappears. There was nothing left there.

And a similar phenomenon took place throughout the Grand Maze.

* * *

The moment the vortex wraps around his body, Canis's mind flashes. Thanks to this, I was able to clearly understand what was happening to me.

The vortex was the exit of the Grand Maze. It forced the warriors inside and bounced them out.

At that moment, Canis was able to feel the magic that had infiltrated his whole body.

And that's why even after I came out, the magic melted into my body.

I accidentally gained huge magical power.

The Dagger Palace was a magical force that would have been dispersed along with it, but some of it was embedded in Canis's body.

Canis looks around, feeling the magical power rising with pride.

All the warriors that were scattered earlier are scattered nearby. There were only 500 left.

Only the warriors who received the equipment from the stone survived. Not one of the scattered ones returned.

‘Obviously... Dark Horseshoe was... terrible.' ’

I had no idea the maze was so scary and strong. No, it was too different from what I had heard, to be honest.

Canis wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for the equipment that Hyundai gave him.

The equipment given by the stone contained the attributes of light. It was a really big force to deal with the Dark Horseman.

Not only did they become more aggressive, but they also became incredibly strong against the forces of darkness.

Canis looks around again. 500 warriors lie on the sand floor.

Some of the people who had lost their minds were also seen.

Canis darkens his expression as he looks at them. If you show up at a time like this, it's a big deal.

‘People need to get here fast.... ’

Once we know where the warriors who escaped the Grand Maze will fall, we'll be running search parties in every city.

So if we hold out a little longer, we should be able to meet the search party and get back safely.

“Damn it.”

Kanis frowns. Rough magic is approaching from afar.

“Sand Giant…. ”

You were a Sand Giant. Luckily, there was only one. But if you fight here, at least half of you will die or get hurt.

Canis runs toward the Sand Giant with his teeth clenched. His sword begins to gather enormous magical power. And it was speeding up.

At some point, Canis was able to feel all of his concentration embedded in the Sand Giant.

And then I swing my sword.

Aaaaah!

The Sand Giant has fallen to nothing. He smashed up the core in seconds.

Canis stares at the scene dazed, then looks up at his hand.

It seems that the power gained from the Grand Maze was not just ordinary.

* * *

“Phew.”

The stride breathes and grabs the black bead on the ground. That was also the heart of the Demon King.

The Dark Lord was really strong. to the extent that the body of the stone is full of holes.

But the last winner was the jackpot.

The stride defeats the Dark Lord and gains his heart.

He also had another explosive growth in exchange for killing the Demon King. I felt like my growth limit was coming up.

Maybe after I wake up this fragment of God, I'll hit my limit.

Hyundai thought so, and put the Demon King's heart into subspace.

[Heart of the Demon King]

[A heart made of condensed Demon King's power. Contains the power to rule the darkness. Can be equipped and used on equipment. Only what you possess gives you control over the darkness of the title. It is attributed to Hyun-seok and can never be used by anyone else.]

It was just like the heart of the Demon King I had before. The only difference was that instead of death, there was a title that ruled the darkness.

[Title given to those who possess the heart left by the Dark Lord. Greatly raises all stats in the dark. The amount of stats that rise depends on the level and magical control ability. Allows the skill Dark Realm to be used.]

[Realm of Darkness - Surround yourself with darkness for a certain period of time. The time and range at which darkness descends depends on the ability of the magical control.]

It was an amazing skill and title. Especially when all the stats rise in the dark, it will be a really big power if used with the Silver Man of the Forest and the Master of the Forest.

If you spread darkness around you in the Dark Realm and summoned the forest as the owner of the forest, how much better can you do?

Anyway, it's time to wake up the seventh fragment. Of course, the seventh fragment was the sarcophagus itself.

Hyun-seok closes his eyes and casts a magical burst of power to connect with the Dagger Palace.

I had a finger that I had done so quickly and assimilated with God's fragment. The field of view rises upward.

A vast desert spreads out. And the land of the dead beyond the desert came into view.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The enormous magical power that had been piled up in the Grand Maze began to run through the desert.
