Chapter 104 – Chapter 104
Daedalus, manager of the labyrinth.
A boss monster that appears in the Cretan Labyrinth, an A-level difficulty dungeon.
It is widely known to the public for subjugating Noh No-seong, one of the seven great transcendentalists in Korea.
I also remember that the Internet was all over the place at the time with this story.
Coo-!
I can see his head poking up on top of buildings in the distance.
Except for some major buildings such as temples, most of this stone statue monastery consists of two-story buildings.
Still, it should be 7-8 meters tall?
However, the sound of a head rising above the building said that it was almost 10 meters tall.
The appearance is similar to that of humans… In a word, there was no giant.
Kwagwawang-!
He strengthened his eyesight by using magic.
It was to check the behavior of the guy far away.
He is now repeating very suspicious behavior.
It destroyed and knocked down nearby buildings.
Moreover, he was lifting the wreckage and throwing it away.
The wreckage of the blown building hit another building, causing a lot of noise and dust, and the building collapsed together.
“What the hell is that doing? Has anyone been in that building?”
“That’s blocking the road.”
Ahn Ji-hyun.
She seemed to know something about her.
Are you a veteran after all?
What do you know?
“What do you mean?”
“Daedalus… That guy is a monster with extraordinary intelligence. It’s not called the labyrinth manager for nothing. One of the reasons the difficulty of the Cretan Labyrinth is so high is because that monster skillfully manipulates the roads. Originally, it was It is common for the open road to suddenly become blocked or vice versa, and it even gradually lures intruders to a place that is advantageous to them. It is known that if they realize that and try to escape, they will decapitate all Awoken and Minotaurs, regardless of whether it is us.”
“Do you manipulate the road?”
“Yes. In the case of the labyrinth, it is said that they move through a secret passage that only that person knows and push the wall away. Then, the place that used to be a passage becomes a wall in an instant. It’s going to block it altogether.”
Hearing her speak, I felt that way.
The wreckage of the building he threw was flying through the sky, destroying the roof of the corridor we were heading for.
If that place is completely blocked, you have to turn around and move to get out of the gate.
Unless you want to lift and move heavy building debris one by one.
It is an urgent situation.
I couldn’t stand watching stupid like this.
“Take it down.”
“Yes? But I…”
“Tell me everything you know about him. Quickly!”
It’s clearly different from the Minotaur.
I know that.
But we couldn’t just wait for him to leave in another direction without noticing us.
According to Ahn Ji-hyun’s explanation, a party of 5 well-balanced A-class Awakeners must fight in an empty lot with no obstacles in order to defeat it with difficulty.
In particular, the tanker is important, but he is said to have a large body and great strength, and he is holding a long spear, so it is very difficult to defend.
In addition, his head is as good as a human’s, and even if he tries to use magic from a distance, he moves at great speed and picks up and throws things around him.
“How on earth do you know all that information?”
“That’s because we’re collecting the stories of people who participated in the subjugation at the community level.”
“Aha.”
It’s nice to have a good community.
After all, I have to make Ahn Ji-hyun a perfect person for me.
I think I will be able to use it quite usefully in the future.
“The biggest problem is that, like the Minotaur, it has strange attacks. I don’t know exactly how, but when I get hit by that attack, it feels like my entire body is paralyzed for a few seconds…”
“That’s fine. It doesn’t work for me.”
“Yes?”
I didn’t have time to explain why it didn’t work, and I didn’t even think about it.
Guys who know me say so, but Hong Eun-young and Ahn Ji-hyun look suspicious.
You must be suspicious enough at the point where you can get rid of magic at will?
“No matter how hard it is. It’s too dangerous without a well-trained tanker. Even if I regain my original strength right now, it’s absolutely impossible. If I just hide somewhere and wait a few hours without being noticed by him…”
“Yes, yes. Mr. Ahn Ji-hyun, take the others and hide behind. I will do it alone.”
“I beg your pardon?”
When I said I was going out alone, all eyes were on me this time.
As expected, several people nodded their heads, thinking that I was a transcendental person, and even looked at me in bewilderment, saying, “What are you, are you dealing with me alone?”
But no one spoke.
I am the leader of this group now.
It is said that although each person can express their opinion, no one can reverse my decision.
“Hide in case you don’t know. I don’t know if the aftermath will come this far.”
Then I took the A-class weapon I borrowed and stepped forward.
Why am I proud?
Do you think it would be perfect to die without fear?
Sounds funny.
Do I look like a man stupid enough to risk my life for no reason?
Of course, my choices are not always right.
You can make mistakes and fail.
But not now.
I’m trying to deal with him with a sure win.
Quaang!
Whoops.
Debris the size of a car flew and landed on the roof of the corridor.
One pillar collapsed on its side.
That’s why the entrance to the gate was really blocked.
“It’s noisy, you big asshole.”
Daedalus responds to my voice.
Immediately, he turned his heavy body towards this side and stood up.
***
“Coulard! Goulard.”
“What the hell are you fussing about, you bastard?”
“You cheeky dwarf!”
“Huh?”
Suddenly, the giant’s voice was heard clearly.
The voice itself was audible from the beginning, but at some point, suddenly I could understand the meaning of what he was saying.
What?
At the same time, a message appeared in one corner of my field of vision.
[ON]
What happened all of a sudden?
Can you do real-time voice translation?
I’ll have to check it properly later.
“I’ll tear you apart, dwarf.”
“That’s the line here, you bastard!”
“Be impertinent!”
“What is it? You say you understand what I’m saying?”
“Die!”
It made me laugh the more I heard it because the size and tone were completely different, but the movement was beyond imagination.
We exchanged conversations, but the distance from him was dozens of meters away, and I was aiming my bow.
I thought it would be so comfortable and nice if I could knock it down with a bow without getting close, so I was pulling the bow fully in advance.
However, Daedalus also showed the appearance of an A-class boss.
Bang-!
The arrow that left his fingertips aimed precisely at the head of the beast.
However, as Ahn Ji-hyun had told him, he was so agile that he easily dodged the arrow that flew like a bullet.
“Hmm… After all, I shouldn’t have talked to you and secretly shot you, didn’t you?”
But I also had a taste.
Real from now on.
In fact, my heart has been beating wildly for a while now.
Now, let’s see how much the transcendent’s magical power is.
[Link target No. 1 ‘Kim I-Sol”s ability is newly activated.]
“Hehe…”
What the hell!?
All of a sudden, as if my whole body was on fire… A fierce pang came over me.
“Keugh… If I had known this beforehand… I would have tried it…”
Today… No yesterday?
Anyway, a few hours ago, Isol Kim passed out in my arms at the temple.
I tested it to see if she would wake up if I returned her magical powers that had been removed from her.
But in the end he didn’t wake up.
You’re not waking up?
Then there is one thing I must do.
Rather, I immediately moved to action because I thought it was good.
The one that raised her magical power to S-10.
At the same time, it synchronized immediately.
After that, I returned her mana back to A-10, but I compromised at that level because I didn’t want to wake up and go crazy again.
It was because I was worried that if I lowered it too much or removed it altogether, I would be attacked in case I didn’t know.
Because the Awakener’s defense power is different from that of ordinary people.
Anyway, I was able to use S-10’s magical power and Kim I-Sol’s skill as it is.
Even that Park Yu-ri wouldn’t reach my toes.
The level of magic power is different, because there is an additional fraudulent ability called Acceleration of Acceleration.
“Kwaaak-!”
But I hope it will be like this.
The words of the moving article are correct.
The skin on his face cracked and fell off.
All of my flesh and muscles wrapped in an A-class suit were on the verge of necrosis, and the burning pain showed no signs of stopping.
At this point, a giant Daedalus with a long spear in one hand rushed towards me.
My body began to be forcibly upgraded to that of a transcendent.
“Ughh… Oh, don’t come! Don’t come, you fucking bastard!”
“Die-!”
He swung a spear much longer than the 10-meter-tall guy.
The surrounding buildings collapsed into powder the moment the window touched them, and did not play any role in blocking the attack.
The sharp tip of the spear hit my side as it were.
Kwajangchang-!
There was a sound like glass breaking.
[All remaining energy was used to defend against an attack. Auto Shield is forcibly terminated.]
With a single blow, all the energy left in me was blown away at once.
Poo-!
“Quaaaaahhhhh… This crazy.”
Not only that.
The damage that her shield couldn’t block was soaked into her side.
My body flew through the air.
After rolling on the floor a few more times.
Just like that, he was thrown into the fountain.
Fortunately, thanks to the shield, I didn’t get a sharp cut.
It was fortunate that not a single limb had been cut off.
“Cool… Cool…”
But every time I sneeze repeatedly.
A light fog of blood bloomed in front of her eyes.
“… Huh!?”
But it was strange.
Suddenly the pain is gone.
I took her hand to her side and rubbed it, but there was no scar left.
The burning pain was gone.
And…
A sensation of tremendous magical energy swirling through her whole body.
A strange sense of exhilaration rose up as if I could fly.
At las.
Finally, Kim Isol’s magical power…
The magical power of the transcendent was completely mine.
“Fuck… What’s so boring? You’ve used up all your energy. How much do you have to bounce her waist to fill it all up…”
I slowly raised her body from the fountain.
Daedalus, whom I thought was already dead.
The facial expressions are truly grim.
I want to take a picture and post it online, but I don’t have a smartphone in my hand right now.
“… Monster.”
“That’s you, you fucking bastard!”
The bow and sword I had were all gone.
It must have bounced off when he was attacked just before.
“Huh?”
But it was strange.
The location of the sword was clearly felt in my head, as if telling me the coordinates.
New sword union day. And…
“Flying Sword.”
As I muttered, the sword under the rubble of the building rose in the air on its own.
Then, as if at my command, it pulled itself out of its scabbard and flew close to me.
He held the sword gently in his hand.
“Die.”
Even before the dust that covered the whole area had settled.
Daedalus launched his next attack.
Don’t let me run away because I’m small.
He swung the spear sideways again.
Kaga River-!
I didn’t get pushed out in the slightest.
I blocked it with my sword in the spot where I was standing.
The dimensions were different from the thickness of the blade, but there was no significant meaning.
[Mah…]
Then Daedalus started making strange noises.
[The whole body is paralyzed. This is an emergency situation. Protected mode works. However, it failed due to lack of energy.]
Is this the attack Ahn Ji-hyun was talking about?
My whole body was paralyzed and I couldn’t move at all.
But that time didn’t last even a second.
The reason is probably because the level of magical power possessed is different.
Kagaang-!
He narrowly blocked the next attack.
Had the paralysis lasted a little longer, it would have been a big deal.
So I decided to try the attack first.
“Concentration.”
In an instant, magical energy flowed into the sword in his hand.
A whopping 10% of the magic power of the S-10 class was poured into it at once.
Rushing forward at the same time.
The mighty mana that wrapped around his body assisted his movements with utmost speed.
Don’t finish it in one blow!
As the distance closed in an instant, he was taken aback.
It would be very difficult to engage in super close combat with a spear, especially against enemies much smaller than yourself.
He took aim at it
I never thought that academy classes would be effective in a place like this.
Avoiding the attack that tried to cut his ankle, he leaped into the air.
But it’s useless.
Because my sword now flies freely through the sky.
“Cut it down!”
The sword that left his hand.
The vast amount of mana concentrated by the Concentration Skill is still contained in the sword.
The black that flew up started from the crotch and cut all the way to the top of his head.
The body of Daedalus, a giant, was split into left and right sides.
Thump, thump!
Patter.
The guy fell
I fell in two pieces from above my head or to the ground.
A cascade of blood flowed from it and poured over me to the ground.
