The Live

The situation in other cities besides Karan was dire.

Most of the city fell into a trap prepared by the Mudders. Because of that, the original plan collapsed and we had no choice but to respond urgently.

Because of this, there were cities that had retreated to refine their lines, and there were cities that were heavily affected by power because they moved too hard.

Of course, there were exceptions everywhere.

“... You're crazy. ”

“What's all this? ”

In the sights that unfolded before my eyes, those in the coalition put their tongues out.

Some were weak, frowning and turning their heads at the horrific sight.

Murderer district within the metropolitan area of braham.

Those who stepped into it did not readily adapt to the image of blood everywhere.

Red below, blue sky. Even when it was dark, I felt even weirder because it was clear without a single cloud.

“Not a blood or two. ”

Hundreds of people died here alone.

The results of the trail were clear enough for those with sledges of snow to know.

“…… I was defeated unilaterally. ”

“This is almost a slaughter. ”

“Who the hell……. ”

The feeling on their faces was baffling.

The blood and corpses that were scattered here were not of the Allied Clan.

They were all Murderers.

“What took you so long? ”

At that moment, voices were pouring out among the piles of dead bodies.

“I'm going to fall asleep waiting. ”

“…… Mr. Elvin? Mr. Turner?”

Elvin, who was sitting in the middle of the body, rises from his seat.

About a hundred of those who arrived for support recognized Elvin and Turner and approached them.

“What's going on here? ”

“You don't know? ”

I had no choice but to ask for something so obvious.

If I looked at it as I saw it, I had no idea what was going on. Elvin and Turner were covered in the blood of many of those hostiles, and some of them are dead.

‘There are so many of those muggers...? ’

It was absurd.

I knew Elvin was strong. He's a hard man to find in the Skyscraper Clan, of course, but not in the whole other side of the world.

But it was unbelievable to deal with so many of those hostiles.

‘I'm not floating.... ’

Unlike other villages like Garaan, this was a Braham in the metropolitan area.

The city of Murder Clan, the second most powerful city in the world, after the dark. Of course, there were relatively strong hostiles stationed in other cities.

Not only are there more talented people like Geoffrey, but there are more.

With hundreds of such hostiles, Elvin defeated them all with Turner.

‘It's stronger... than it used to be. ’

Turner glances at Elvin's side.

I knew he was strong.

Walker Elvin was a genius who stood out from his second year.

Becoming a leader of five clans in the fourth year was extremely rare in the whole of the interior world.

But I didn't think it would be this strong.

And it was not just Turner, but most of the people here were the same.

However, Elvin mutters, scratching his head like a man doing nothing big.

“I still have a long way to go in there. How many babies...... They're not cockroaches. ”

Seeing that the blood on his hands is not yet hardened, it seems that the fight is not yet over.

Someone who creeped me out said.

“Leave the rest of the hostiles to us, and rest a bit while it's hard. ”

“How easy can it be to rest? ”

Elvin laughs nonsense.

“I finally got out of shape. We can't stop here. ”

Turner looks back at Elvin in disgust.

Then he raised his hand up and said helplessly.

“I'm out of here. Unlike Elvin, who is perfectly relaxed, I'm going to get warmed up like this. ”

“Well, go ahead. Well done."

“Behind you, please. Oh, come on! And have you heard from the other districts? ”

“Well…… most situations are similar. ”

“... Really? ”

Turner was that face, then.

It was expected from the moment the trap was set. If Brahms' intel had been leaked here, so would any other city.

Turner lets out a sigh, not a big surprise.

“Surprisingly, the situation in Karan is a little different. ”

“Karan?”

The voice of surprise came from Elvin.

“What's your situation? ”

“Oh, well… Jeffrey appeared in Garaan. ”

“What?"

“But they won. ”

Even before the shock was gone, Elvin smiled a moment later, dumbfounded.

“Puhahahahaha!”

With Elvin's smile, the people, including Turner, looked curious.

For those who didn't know the situation, they wanted to feel funny somewhere else about this news.

“Geoffrey...... isn't that crazy cannibal? ”

“Somewhat well known to the Murder Clan. I don't think he should be in Karan... ”

Jeffrey's name was known not only because he was strong.

The problem was his ability to specialize in aggressive tendencies and genocide.

Jeffrey couldn't say he was that good against one of the truly outstanding. But Jeffrey was superior to many who were weaker than he was.

It meant that he appeared in Karan.

The alliance that had originally underestimated Karan did not send outstanding talents to Garaan. It was because there were too many struggling cities like Brahms, Trumps, and Darmium to place skilled individuals there.

The only person who wanted to excel was the Throne Room Clan.

However, it was not enough to deal with Geoffrey alone, even if it was Kwon Ki-hyang.

And yet you caught Geoffrey?

There was something variable.

“What happened to the spades of my clan? ”

The person who brought the news to Elvin's question, who was smiling for a while, looked embarrassed.

It was as if he knew everything he was going to say.

“Th-that's... that's who took Geoffrey. ”

“What?"

“What the……. ”

It was a surprising series of news.

Jeffrey appeared in Garaan and was successful in subjugating him. And the man who captured Geoffrey was the Spa of the Skyscraper Clan.

It was all very strange news. And among them, the most bizarre news was that the man who captured Geoffrey was the Spa of the Skyscraper Clan.

“Aren't they both new? ”

“That's right. There must have been some mistake.... ”

In their answers, I looked at Elvin one by one.

The meaning of the gaze was one.

What is the truth.

They didn't believe either of them.

Either the Skyscraper clan's spades are false or they've captured Geoffrey.

Otherwise, I couldn't explain it.

“Well, are there a lot of doubts? ”

Elvin laughs at that gaze.

He had no intention of explaining the suspicious gaze around him.

If in doubt, what? Elvin smiles with those eyes.

“By the way... ”

That's when the news broke Elvin's good smile.

“Those two spheres went missing during the subjugation. ”

“…… what? ”

“What is this……. ”

“Missing, not dead, and what is that? ”

We don't know if two people died in the fight with Jeffrey. But missing bodies are the words we use when we can't even find them.

“When did that happen? ”

Elvin's tone was quieter than expected. The person who came with the news hesitated for a moment and replied.

“It's been a couple of days. ”

“Two days ago……. ”

“It's virtually impossible to find two more people. I couldn't find them anywhere in Karan. ”

If Murder Clan territory isn't as complex and vast as the maze and it hasn't been found for two days, it's practically dead.

Besides, the war against the Murder Clan goes on forever.

Disappearing in a deadly struggle isn't much of a big deal here on the other side.

Nevertheless, the reason I tried to find Yoon Jae and regular for two days was because the two people were the main players of the fight.

“Leave as few people as possible and stop the search. ”

“Yes?”

“I don't need to find any more. If he's alive, he'll come back on his own, and if he's dead, there's no reason to find him. Would it be possible for another city to have a hard time finding two people right now? ”

It was a cold word.

However, Yoon Jae and the Regular were the two leaders of the Karaan Punitive Force and the Emperor's Clan.

In addition, it was Elvin who recommended them as the Spa of the Skyscraper Clan.

The Skyscraper clan has not received a single Spa since it joined the Five Clans. For some reason, many of those who knew him were paying close attention to the news that Elvin had invaded the clan's sphere.

If you can make history and put it into space after making it new, it means that you have that much talent.

On the other hand, the two of them did something absolutely ridiculous. With that kind of talent, it might be a second Elvin in a few years.

But…….

“You're giving up two spheres? ”

Elvin was about to give up those two spheres.

Elvin doesn't answer. He turns away.

“Let's move quickly. This side is not so free. ”

The crowd murmurs as they look behind Elvin, turning calmly.

But even after hearing all that voice, Elvin doesn't care much.

Are you thinking about something else? ’

Rather, he had a smile on his mouth.

He's not dead. He's missing.

Elvin doesn't think you two are strangely wrong. Rather, I had more fun than when I first sent the two of them to Karan.

Garaan is the weakest city among the Murderers.

It was also a bit disappointing when you said you were going to such a weak city.

But what if there was something else in Karan?

What if their disappearance had something to do with it? ‘

‘I'm excited.'

If he had not died, he would have appeared again someday.

‘You got Jeffrey. This is it. ’

I knew that I was good at fighting.

Growth rate was also blistering. The purity of magical power, as well as the faster you fight. Skill utilization and overall combat sense were excellent.

Years?

No, it's not.

In just a year's time, the two will begin to stand out in the other world.

‘Welcome back. ’

It was only at the beginning that he caught Geoffrey.

* * *

Ten days have passed since I entered the labyrinth.

In conclusion, Yoon Jae and the regular have still not found the next door.

“Huff, huff... ”

“Whoa……. ”

Yoon Jae who sat on the floor did not wake up for a while.

Yoon Jae was almost exhausted, even though he sat on the floor on a regular basis.

“…… I'm dying, really. ”

The level of monsters that appeared was not nearly insurmountable as expected.

The problem was numbers.

The number of monsters appeared or appeared too frequently. A monster came out of nowhere if you need a little rest.

Eventually, I fought nonstop. I took a deep breath and slept well.

Ten days.

I wandered around the labyrinth without rest. It was ten days to get through the first door that appeared and move along the crooked path.

‘There should be a door on the next road soon. ’

Yoon Jae shakes his head, his eyes widening.

I rested for about an hour and recovered my magical strength and health. Magic power has recovered over time, but due to the steady accumulation of fatigue, health hasn't returned in a short time.

‘There's not much food. ’

Yoon Jae put his hand inside the food bag on his waist.

‘Could it last a month...... If you think about it by the time you get back, you should be there in ten days. ’

I'm eating as sparingly as I can, but at this rate, I'm also having problems with food and drinking water. The water in the cave was already contaminated with Magi, so I couldn't eat it.

This was the biggest problem of the maze.

Leaving the monster's strength and weakness, it's hard to find a path.

Even if Yoon Jae knew the way, he was anxious because the size of the dungeon was so big, but other people who didn't know the way were worried.

“Let's start moving. ”

“Already?”

“We don't have enough food, we have to hurry. With so many moves, it won't be long before the next one comes out. ”

“You're not sure, are you? ”

“But you can't stay here forever, can you? ”

“Hnng.”

The regular who knew Yoon Jae's stubbornness eventually had to wake up with a sound of pain.

Of course, Yoon Jae didn't say this without any certainty.

‘You'd think we're almost there in 10 days. ’

Inside the purple door in the first place, this was not so far from the road leading to the next. Ten days was the best I could think of when Yoon Jae chose the purple door for the first time.

‘I really need to get out now. ’

The quickest way to reach the end of the dungeon.

Through that first gate, the purple one, there were two more waiting for you.

We will have to go through this challenge twice more. although I can't say it's going to take much longer.

“…… that, brother. ”

“I saw it, too. ”

A monster was sleeping where the normal person pointed, with a trembling voice.

A beast that looks like a bear, with a sharp scale all over its body, closes its eyes at the door. One doesn't scare me that much, but the problem is that I'm not this big.

"A carnivorous bear."

The name itself was ordinary.

It means a bear that eats meat.

Monsters with the name 'meat' are common.

However, it seemed to have such a name that he was not unusual in appearance or size.

If I straightened up the body that was crouching right now, I would be over 8 meters tall.

“Looks like a mutant. ”

Variants.

He was a monster called the boss.

They are born like other ordinary monsters and change as they grow.

just as strong, fast, or big enough to cross the borders of the faction.

That's probably the case, too. Moray is covered with scales like that, and it is inexplicable unless it is a variant that is so massive.

“... I don't know why the mutants are always so big. ”

“I agree.”

Seven doors were mounted on the wall around him.

from red to purple, all different doors. Yoon Jae knew which color to enter.

“This time it's a red door. ”

“Yes?”

“I'll buy you some time, so go in first. ”

“Run away without holding it? ”

“You don't have to deal with the sleeping one. If I get hurt while dealing with him, I'll be in trouble from now on. I don't know about you, but you do. ”

Regular people without special restorative abilities should not be seriously injured. It will recover somehow, but it took a long time.

It was the best way to avoid a fight that was avoidable.

‘Besides, he looks a little dangerous. ’

A huge scale that covers your body looks hard at first glance.

I doubted whether the blade would fit properly, and I didn't know how many wounds I'd have to inflict to kill such a big man.

“If I have to, I can run to the clockwork, so go ahead. ”

“…… Okay. ”

I nodded because I was not wrong in many ways, but I felt bad about something normal.

I felt like I had to move around comfortably by myself. However, it was the best way to avoid a fight that could be avoided, as Yoon Jae said.

“Then let's go. ”

Yoon Jae and Jung began to move as quickly as possible.

The cave is so quiet that you can hear small footsteps clearly. The carnivorous bear turned slightly to the small sound.

‘A little ahead. ’

Yoon Jae and Jung carefully walked toward the red door and looked at the carnivorous bear.

Please just hope he doesn't notice and move on.

‘Just a little more……. ’

But...

“... I don't think so. ”

Yoon Jae, who was moving her steps, muttered in a hollow voice.

I was just passing by the carnivorous bear's head, and his eyes were opened.

Gruuuhhh!

As if the cave was leaving, a terrible cry knocked Yoon Jae and his normal ear.

At the same time, the two legs, which were moving cautiously, became busy.

“Run!”

“Yes!”

Fath-

At the same time as Yoon Jae's shout, the regular started running toward the red door.

However, Yoon Jae turned around and stopped the carnivorous bear.

“Bear Bear needs to talk to me. ”

Rrrrrrrrrrr

The carnivorous bear lets out a heavy wail.

Yoon Jae's face gradually changed after stopping him. Then I took a step back as if I was embarrassed.

“…… let's make it short. ”

He looked huge even when he was crouching.

When he got up, he looked taller than the first time.

Kuaaak-!

Along with the bizarre beast, the carnivorous bear's feet flew towards Yoon Jae.

Yoon Jae, who was cautious beforehand, flew up. Immediately after that, the carnivorous bear's foot hit the spot where Yoon Jae was standing.

Quadrudruple -

A long claw scratches the floor and lifts the debris up. Seeing the ground cracking, Yoon Jae was startled.

‘... If I get hit like that, I won't have a body left. ’

One of the biggest traits of the big ones.

That is the immense power of a single blow.

The overwhelming force from the weight is not something you can deal with head-on.

It's also a matter of size, but what's most cautious is that you should never get hit by something like that.

Kwaaak-!

At that time, the carnivorous bear rushed towards Yoon Jae changed direction.

He began to chase after the Regular who were running towards the Red Gate.

“Wait.”

Boom!

The carnivorous bear slams into something, then flinches back.

Yoon Jae, who quickly followed behind the carnivorous bear, made a cavalry armor to stop him and blocked my way.

“We're not done yet. ”

Rrrrrrrrrrr

The carnivorous bear's gaze turned to Yoon Jae again.

Yoon Jae's horseman's armor was cracked. Even with the cavalry's armor, it was impossible to completely prevent a carnivorous bear attack.

‘Regular is now a right of stability... …. ’

At this distance, the normal will be able to enter through the red gate without problems.

Seek-

“Now all I have to do is cut your throat. ”

* * *

Margin-

The red door opens with a heavy voice.

The regular opened the door and went inside.

When I first went inside, I came out of a large cave covered in a haze. It was different from the previous dungeon soaked in purple.

Normally, he turned his head as if he had only sighed.

‘It's a big door, but this won't get him in. ’

The huge carnivorous bear was too large to pass through the door. Unless you're breaking through this thick door.

But the door didn't look so weak.

Is that all we have to do now? ’

Yoon Jae made him run away first.

It was because Yoon Jae, who could move at an instantaneous explosive speed using a clock leaf, was much easier to escape than normal.

“ ……. ”

Regular people waited for a while.

Without moving on as promised.

But…….

“When will they be back? ”

Regular stood still and looked at the door.

Why isn't Yoon Jae coming?
