“Tell me more.”
Julia nodded slightly at Yuri’s urging.
“There’s nothing more to say. That’s all. That Gol tribe disappeared like that, and we haven’t heard any information about them since.”
“at all?”
“To be honest… that Goljok wasn’t that important of a figure. The White Swordsman was the important one in the incident at the time, and that Goljok was just an accomplice who cooperated with the White Swordsman.”
“It means that you didn’t gather information properly afterward because it was pushed down in importance.”
“that’s right.”
Yuri nodded slightly at Julia’s answer.
‘Well, I didn’t care at all.’
He also fought in the Battle of Muryong on the very day he returned to the cradle.
In addition, he graduated from the cradle shortly after experiencing the death of John.
So I didn’t pay much attention until Segyeong.
‘I thought you were doing well because I didn’t have time to contact you… but you disappeared.’
It was both shocking and absurd that it didn’t just disappear, but disappeared along with the Baekgeom Byeongdan.
And on the other hand, it was also admirable.
‘I knew you weren’t in your right mind, but to run away from the cradle by colluding with an outside force… and to turn the cradle into a wasteland at that?’
From the crazy nickname, Bomba (爆魔).
No one but John calls him a crazy person.
It was truly a great inspiration in many ways.
‘I definitely thought that old lady would cause something big… … .’
To think that an accident of this magnitude could occur.
Yuri’s pupils, who had been admiring it so much, shook slightly.
‘Wait… an accident?’
Se-gyeong was banished from the Gols and sent to the cradle.
Although he always cursed the masters, his wish was to return to the Gol tribe to continue his research.
His obsession and dedication to research is so great that even Yuri is amazed.
But, the Segyeong that used to be like that isn’t showing up?
So where is he now, having escaped from the cradle and become a free man?
Yuri, who was slightly worried, asked a question to those around her.
“Does anyone know how this dragon lair was discovered?”
The answer to that question came from the front.
“That’s what I heard.”
Gunther, Arin, and Poppy stopped and looked at the glass instead of going in together.
Among them, the one who opened his mouth was Gunther.
“They say that a few months ago, it was the rainy season in Daesurim. It seems that the trees near the waterfall fell at that time. As a result, the waterfall stream became weaker, and thanks to that, the space where the entrance to the labyrinth was revealed.”
Arin added to Gunther’s explanation.
“That’s right! I heard that too! I guess some Gols discovered it by chance.”
“hungry!”
Yuri’s expression hardened a little more as she saw Poppy nodding as if she had heard it too.
‘What a coincidence… … .’
By chance, a tree breaks, revealing the space behind the waterfall and the entrance to the labyrinth.
Did some other idiot accidentally discover this?
‘And coincidentally, the machine installed in that labyrinth is the same one that Se-gyeong and I designed?’
Yuri felt a chill down her spine.
‘Are there really so many coincidences?’
Of course, it could all be said to be a coincidence.
‘but.’
Se-gyeong escaped from the cradle.
His obsession with research.
The current situation, however, has not been revealed for several years.
With these conditions added up, Yuri could no longer dismiss all of this as a coincidence.
“no way…….”
A feeling of anxiety creeping up my spine.
‘What if this labyrinth is an institution created by Segyeong Yeong-gam?’
If this labyrinth is really a collection of institutions he designed.
If so, then it will definitely exist at the end.
He has a deeper understanding of the institutions created by Segyeong than anyone else in the world.
I was able to be sure because I was Yuri who had been through it more than anyone else.
‘bomb!’
The bomb of such terrifying power that it earned Se-gyeong the nickname “Bombma.”
If so, he would have definitely installed it at the end of this labyrinth.
‘where?’
So where on earth would you have installed it?
Yuri’s head turned quickly.
Beyond the passage, inside a wide open space.
The red light inside caught Yuri’s attention.
‘That… … .’
The common red light flowed from the red crystal pillars.
A red crystal pillar that appears to be about 2 meters long.
Yuri’s instincts, seeing this, alerted her to the danger.
That’s it.
It’s definitely that one.
So run away from here right now!
Yuri’s face turned pale as he saw the Gol tribesmen reaching out their hands towards the red crystal pillars with him.
He shouted, hastily gathering his mana.
“Don’t touch that!”

Two people faced each other in an underground space filled with crimson light.
Short and plump teeth and long and thin teeth.
While sharing a beer at a table, a tall, thin man opened his mouth.
“Their development speed is faster than I expected. I’m sure you said it would take a year or two?”
“That’s right.”
“What is going on?”
A question that is not clear whether it is a question or an inquiry.
A gruff voice returned.
“How would I know that? Since the construction was finished, I’ve been stuck in this basement drinking alcohol. Don’t you know better than me what’s going on?”
“May Winchester is over there. It’s too risky to even check on her from a distance.”
“Then I should try harder to find out. Will I get an answer by pestering an old man who drinks alcohol in the basement?”
“… … .”
Looking at the man with his mouth shut, the short, old man, Se-gyeong Walker, gritted his yellow teeth.
“Don’t worry too much. This project took over three years. The preparations are perfect, so the faster their exploration, the better for us. The time will come when we can escape this damned forest.”
“What are the chances that they will notice something odd? That variable could be causing things to go wrong.”
“That won’t happen.”
Se-gyeong snorted.
“The labyrinth itself is a real dragon lair, and the materials used to install the organs are also reprocessed from the original lair. This isn’t something a Meister would be able to detect even if a Meister grandpa came.”
“… … .”
“I understand that you are worried because it is earlier than expected, but since we are on the same boat, I hope you can trust me a little, Peter.”
As she said that, Se-gyeong raised her glass towards Peter Lehmann.
But Peter still just looks at me with indifferent eyes.
At this, Se-gyeong’s expression suddenly crumpled.
“Hey, you can trust me! When it comes to institutional knowledge, there’s no one in the Gol clan who can surpass me!”
“That sounds like you’re saying there are no Goljok.”
“Well, there was a guy who studied the same organization as me. But you don’t have to worry too much about him.”
“Why?”
“I lost. Because of you guys.”
“What is that… … .”
Just as Peter was about to ask for more details.
Urrrr- gulp-!
A violent vibration sound transmitted underground.
At this, the corners of Se-gyeong’s mouth twisted greatly.
“What, what did I tell you? I told you not to worry?”
Peter, seeing Se-gyeong’s smile, jumped up from his seat.

—The earth is a-a …
Yuri’s scream echoed through the passage into the hallway.
The first to react to this was May.
The moment she turned her head towards the passage.
Ssuk- chin.
At that time, Meister Minsu’s fingers had already touched the red crystal pillar.
Only then does Minsu turn his head at the echoing scream of Yuri.
The other masters next to him all chimed in.
“I told you not to touch it?”
“what?”
“Isn’t that it?”
The eyes of the masters, the Goljok, and everyone gathered on Minsu’s hand that touched the red crystal.
“… Did you reach it?”
“I already did it?”
That moment when everyone blinked.
Woof woof-!
Suddenly the labyrinth began to vibrate.
“Huh?!”
Minsu was surprised and pulled his hand away, but the vibration did not stop.
No, rather, it will only get worse.
And that was the beginning.
Knock knock!
First, the stone gate in the passage moved and closed by itself.
Ddddddd-!
The space behind the red crystal pillar split left and right, and a flat ground began to rise upward within it.
“Huh?!”
“Me, me?!”
A flat boulder appeared from the cracked ground, as if a large altar or stage for a performance had appeared.
And when Yuri saw this, her expression turned pale.
“… sick.”
Originally it was just a flat lump of stone.
But inside, it was wide open, and the fine space was filled with something else.
And that ‘something’ was something Yuri knew well.
‘Did this crazy old man just eat and make bombs?!’
That’s a huge amount of bombs.
Besides, if those bombs were made by Se-gyeong, then each of their performances would be outstanding without the need for separate verification.
That sound meant one thing.
“… It’s fucked up?”
That meant everyone trapped in this room was fucked.
Ts …
A pile of bombs that had already been ignited the moment Meister Minsu touched the crystal and the mechanism was activated.
Then finally.
Chick- puff-!
A small detonation soon followed, followed by a chain of explosions.
This was followed by a huge explosion accompanied by a sound that was inaudible to human ears.
——-!!!!!
The moment when light and heat engulfed the entire room in pure white.
Woof-.
A black shadow ran through the pure white space.
***
Kuwaaaaaaaaahh …
Ddddddddddd-!
Se-gyeong detonated the light on the ground, which shook as if it were going to collapse with a tremendous explosion.
“Khehehehe! It blew up! It blew up!”
This is it.
This is a blast!
This shock!
This shaking!
This was the true violence that would open a new era!
“Hahahaha!”
Peter asked, looking at Se-gyeong, who was raising her fists with both fists clenched.
“With the bomb you planted… would you be able to take out May Winchester?”
Se-gyeong’s laughter suddenly stopped at Peter’s question.
He gave me a look of disbelief.
“Just that amount?”
Even if they detonated more bombs than me, it wouldn’t be enough to kill the Master.
They can even run away from the blast radius at the very moment the bomb explodes.
It might even be able to block the force of an explosion.
The master was literally a monster.
but.
“Well… I don’t know.”
May Winchester is considered weak even among the famous.
And it is a situation where there are many confined spaces and beings that need to be protected.
If May Winchester were to sacrifice her own safety to protect everyone in that situation… … .
“If we do that, we could kill them, right? Even if that doesn’t work, we could at least injure them badly. And if May Winchester is injured… they’ll never get out of there. Not until she recovers.”
“At least we won’t run out of time.”
“of course!”
Se-gyeong smiled at Peter and urged him on.
“So let’s go quickly! Let’s quickly grab what we each want and get out of this damn place as soon as possible!”
As the excited Se-gyeong left the underground space first, Peter Lehmann, who had been watching her from behind, also started walking.
