112. Crystal Maze (1)
-D, Dragon Heart?
Mehen’s eyes widened when he saw the reward Sihyeon had received.
-That’s ridiculous!
The Dragon Heart, which was just the reward I needed, came out.
It was as if the great sun was helping Sihyeon.
Of course, Mehendo also supports Sihyeon and hopes that he does well.
I knew that he had unique and special abilities, not only compared to ordinary players, but also compared to other ‘gods’.
It couldn’t be attributed to mere luck that such a huge reward suddenly appeared when it was needed.
“… … !”
In fact, Sihyeon was also surprised.
Before returning, I listened to what other players had to say.
The fastest record was around 30 minutes.
Of course, there are players who do not reveal their records.
Even taking that into account, the record of 45 seconds was not only fast, it was impossible.
Of course, for Sihyeon, who was immune to mental attacks, it was nothing more than a simple straight line run.
‘Well, the original illusion maze was designed to show dangerous illusions to prevent players from reaching their goals.’
Sihyeon, who was mumbling like that, checked the item information.
[Dragon Heart (A)]
#Illusion Maze This is a reward for breaking the record. It is the price for making the impossible possible.
?? Item
*Absorbs surrounding energy.
*The grade is readjusted depending on the type and amount of energy absorbed (E~SS).
Thump! Thump!
As the name Dragon ‘Heart’ suggests.
The object Si-Hyeon was holding in her hand was throbbing without stopping.
Dragon.
A transcendent being, on par with angels, demons, and gods.
Judging by its size and rank, it appeared to be the dragon heart of a hatchling who had died young.
There was no need to worry because there was an effect that said, ‘The level is readjusted according to the type and amount of energy absorbed.’
Of course, the grade adjustment is from E to SS.
However, if management is not done well, there is a greater risk of falling from an A grade.
That wouldn’t have happened as long as I was with Sihyeon.
[Item, ‘Kibisis (A)’ blooms.]
After placing the Dragon Heart into the Kibisis.
Sihyeon continued walking.
-Are you leaving already?
“Yeah. I’ve seen everything.”
Tzuzuzu, that is.
[Thank you for your hard work! You have reached the gate of the illusion maze.]
[Only players with special conditions can use the gate.]
[Clear the illusion maze.]
… …
[Conditions met!]
[You can choose one of four options.]
[Move to the 1st floor ‘Iron Maze’.]
[Move to the ‘Train Maze’ on the basement level.]
[Move to the 3rd basement floor ‘Crystal Maze’.]
[Return to Earth.]
[*However, you cannot return to the Illusion Maze again when you return to Earth.]
When you get to the gate, you now have four options.
But Sihyeon had only one choice.
Iron, there was nothing left to tear apart in the Train Maze.
Going to Earth made it seem like it wasn’t worth coming all this way.
“Let’s go.”
-Okay.
[Move to the 3rd basement floor ‘Crystal Maze’.]
***
[You have entered the dwarves’ maze, the ‘Crystal Maze’ on the third basement floor.]
[In the catastrophe, Iron Maze, divine intervention is impossible.]
[Starting position is random!]
[Good luck!]
Whoosh, whoosh… … Whoa!
The place where Sihyeon arrived with a white halo of light was a place that made the only thought that came to mind was ‘hot’.
A landscape that makes you feel like you’re in a fiery hell.
The ground was cracked and spewing lava all over the place.
The Magma Drakes, who appeared as the final boss in the Iron Maze, were wandering around here and there.
“Choo-rur-ruruk!”
“Whoosh… … .”
Is it because it has Medusa’s head?
The magma drakes, who had previously been aggressive, fled in panic as soon as they saw the vision.
Of course, the magma fish coming out of the huge river of lava jumped out to bite Sihyeon’s flesh without knowing it.
[Item, ‘Cheon-Gong-Un-Geom (C)’ causes a bloody storm.]
After his body was torn apart by the storm caused by the Thousand-Thousand Cloud Sword, no one rushed towards him.
“Crystal Maze.”
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth when she saw that sight.
“It’s been a while.”
Cristal Maze.
A labyrinth built on magma deep underground.
It is not visible now, but it was a maze mainly comprised of the dwarves’ ‘castle’.
As you can see, the place where the vision fell is a little bit away from where the dwarves live.
That’s why all you could see were huge rivers, lakes, and lava fields.
“Whoosh!”
Behind them, snakes made of lava, the Magma Snakes, quickly flee.
Sihyeon walked forward while raising the Cheonjongun Sword.
-Why are you walking? Do you know where you are?
“Staying still is forbidden within the Crystal Maze.”
-why?
“I get tired when those pagan bastards come.”
-pagan?
“There are things like that. They can appear anywhere.”
-I see. But this place doesn’t seem like a maze.
“A maze.”
The Crystal Maze is the deepest part of Greenland that the dwarves use.
It had an overwhelming size compared to other mazes.
Because it was so large that it connected continents.
If you were not careful here, you would most likely get lost.
Enough to connect three other continents.
A truly vast land and the countless minerals buried within it.
There are so many demons roaming around here.
This land itself was a ‘labyrinth’.
-Wow… …It’s just a maze because it’s so big.
“It might not feel real to you, who has been standing next to me and looking down on the whole world.”
Sihyeon shook her head.
“It is fatal to small humans and alien species like us.”
-Is there any way to find the way?
“Tell me what to do.”
Sihyeon, who was smiling, was equipped with a title.
[Equipped with the title .]
[Find out the location of the nearest legion commander.]
At the same time, Sihyeon was equipped with the title of Legion Ruler.
The locations of several entities have been identified.
Dwarf.
They were organized into a strict class system, just like their creation, the stone people.
Among them, the dwarves who inherited the royal blood possessed the dignity of a ‘commander’ no matter how young or incompetent they were.
And the dwarven royal family stayed in their adult Crystal Castle and did not come out.
This is what Sihyeon was aiming for.
‘If you go to where the dwarven royal family is, you can go to their stronghold.’
With satellite map and guide.
Sihyeon took the lead.
[Item, ‘Kibisis (A)’ blooms.]
[Item, ‘Kibisis (A)’ emits ‘Gentle Cold (C)’.]
Wheeing!
Quick B, opened the Kibisis.
After climbing onto the back of the guy who was the fastest means of transportation.
Sihyeon kicked the ground.
Of course, if he had the will, Sihyeon could move faster than Quickbee.
The magical energy consumed for that was too much.
‘Flying is sometimes faster than running, you know.’
Hooooooooooooo!
It was hot here, and there were a lot of demons flying in the sky.
Sihyeon didn’t care.
Anyway, if the speed is fast enough that it rains quickly, even the strongest demons won’t be able to keep up.
Even if we catch up, Sihyeon can just get rid of it.
Thanks to the ‘Gentle Cold (C)’ item, I was able to solve the heat of the magma.
There was nothing to be hesitant about now.
“let’s go.”
Wheeing!
So, Sihyeon rode the quick rain and headed to the nearest dwarven royal family.
***
‘Damn it… … How did things turn out like this?’
Crystal Maze, somewhere.
A young-looking dwarf named ‘Tan’ was lying with his arms and legs tied together, bleeding profusely.
Sticky blood flowing from his body, muscles that are stronger than those of an ordinary dwarf.
Above all, the bright, shining crimson eyes.
All of these points showed that he was from House Hammer, one of the royal houses of the dwarves.
“He’s still young, but you can’t let your guard down.”
“That’s right. He’s one of the biggest threats to our god.”
A number of dwarves surrounded him, giggling.
“It’s a good thing he’s young.”
“Yes. If this guy bleeds, God and the leader will be happy.”
“Right. Hehehe.”
“The saint who came recently… … .”
‘I should have listened to the adults.’
pagan.
These are guys who have given up the dwarves’ unique manufacturing ability and instead accepted the power of the evil god, resulting in a gigantic body.
Most dwarves hated them so much that they called them ‘demons’.
Tan decided to kill his comrades and the guys.
Pagan hunting.
I thought that if I completed this course, I would be recognized as a warrior, if not as a craftsman.
This thought turned out to be true.
Of course, that was the case as long as the fact of ‘catching’ the opponent was successful.
When I first discovered paganism.
Tan thought he could subdue or kill these guys right away without the adults.
Because the pagans were corrupted beings who could not create any weapons or items.
I thought it would be that weak.
It was arrogance.
Equipped with dwarven items made with excellent craftsmanship.
Even though he inherited royal blood and had a stronger body than other dwarves.
Tan is just a young dwarf.
It was impossible for him to defeat the pagans with his own strength.
‘Why did I… … Why did I… … Why did I… … .’
I could still vividly see my friends being torn to pieces by ice, poisoned, and having their bones broken by the hands of pagans.
That wasn’t all.
The guys tortured the other surviving friends brutally, as if mocking the royal family.
He smiled and showed the sight to Tan.
“How does it taste?”
“Fucking pureblood bastards.”
“You’ve always been planning to hunt us down and kill us?”
“Even if they’re children, I don’t mind. I’m talking about pure-blooded pups.”
After my friends died one by one.
The pagans were provoking Tan by kicking his head and legs with their feet.
Nevertheless, Tan, whose body was completely subdued, could not do anything.
“Hehehe. That’s good, I even got my hands on a royal item.”
“I think the cult leader will like it if I offer it to him.”
“Your status might rise.”
Even the items that his father, the king, had personally made were being abused.
Tan just clenched his teeth.
“Get ready now.”
“yes.”
“yes.”
With someone’s orders.
The pagans, empowered by the evil spirit, prepared to move.
Unlike the pure-blooded dwarves who stayed in one place, these pagans with the blood of the evil gods lived a nomadic life. They stayed in one place for only five days at most.
“Heeeeeeling!”
After riding a horse and cow made of lava.
The pagans began to move.
‘Am I going to be dragged away to my death like this?’
Tan was able to survive because he had the king’s blood.
But that was only for a moment.
If you go to the ‘cult leader’ or ‘saint’ they call it.
You will die with all of the king’s blood absorbed.
‘please…….’
Tan whispered earnestly with his eyes tightly shut.
‘Anyone please… … .’
Wheeing!
And then.
I heard something vibrating.
‘What is this?’
“what?”
“The sound of a bug?”
“Isn’t this an area without predators?”
The pagans became nervous at the sound of the insects and raised their weapons.
Predatory insect, officially called ‘Magrophos’.
As they are the ones who have survived the heat here with the bodies of insects.
The poisonous insects in the Crystal Maze on the third basement floor were not usually poisonous.
They used their serrated teeth to tear at the flesh of living creatures.
The force of the bite was so strong that even the bodies of the pagans, strengthened by the power of the evil spirit, were torn away like cotton candy.
Of course, the pureblood dwarves were able to completely block their approach with the power of their equipment.
They were not pagans.
Those guys didn’t have the ability to create items.
Wheeeeeeeeeeing!
Soon the sound of flapping wings became louder and the insect’s identity was revealed.
The pagans’ eyes grew wide.
“It’s not a predator, is it?”
“What kind of bug is that?”
“It’s huge?”
Whew… … .
“for a moment!”
One of the pagans pointed at the giant insect and shouted.
“There’s someone over there!”
“who?”
“White skin?”
“… …is an item.”
The pagans cried out as they saw ‘someone’ on the bug.
“It’s the guy who’s equipped with the item!”
“It’s definitely a pure-blooded dwarf!”
“I can’t see it very well, but… … .”
“Attack! Attack!”
The pagans ask no questions and do not investigate.
He lunged at someone on the bee.
The weapons in each person’s hands and the magic circle engraved on the back of their hands began to glow.
“So… … .”
at the same time.
After Sihyeon, who was riding on the quick rain, lifted the guy up.
I jumped off of it.
“I told you, you pagan bastards are no good.”
