Chapter 21
Episode 21
Immediately after leaving the capital of the Holy Celestina Church and crossing the border.
“Welcome to the Adventurer’s Guild!”
“Well, the Adventurer’s Guild cannot be left out in God’s World.”
“God World...?”
The saintess tilted her head for a moment, and a shooting star passed straight through the Adventurer's Guild office.
“I heard that you need an adventurer’s license to enter the labyrinth.”
“Ah, an adventurer’s license!”
The receptionist at the desk greeted Yoosung with a business smile and Yoosung nodded silently.
As I glanced around, I saw quite a few adventurers crowding around. From rookies wearing cheap leather armor to veterans armed with golden armor.
The labyrinth city of Garcia.
A neutral city located on the border between the two great countries, the Holy Celestina Church and the Draga Empire. As its name suggests, the city itself is a land of opportunity formed around an ancient underground labyrinth.
It would be difficult to find a better place to hide the Elyos' ancient weapon ‘Ark'.
“Is there anything I need to bribe to become an adventurer?”
“Is that possible? The opportunity to earn money while sleeping in the labyrinth is provided equally to everyone, regardless of gender or age!”
The receptionist smiled brightly at Yoosung’s words and continued.
“Ah, instead, you must sign a memorandum stating that if you die within the labyrinth, you will not be held liable and that even if your body and belongings are recovered, they will become city property.”
“This is a memorandum that really makes you feel the preciousness of life.”
I signed a document stating that the city could legally sell my body if I died within the labyrinth, and went straight to the ancient labyrinth.
1st tier.
Between monsters and beasts, creatures closer to the beasts greeted Meteor and Saint Ilicia.
After some time the 5th tier.
“Accept the newbie!”
What greeted the meteor there was not a creature from the labyrinth. It was people.
“The kids came and said that. “You came into the labyrinth to do business without fear and without paying us any dues, right?”
“Ah, are you a labyrinth thief?”
“Labyrinth thief...?”
“I don’t know what it would be called in this world, but it is a historic business that exists in every large labyrinth. “They usually call it labyrinth thief or ‘adventurer hunting.’”
“That’s exactly what it says!”
One of the labyrinth thieves laughed and the saintess's expression froze.
“wait for me! “Conversation before fighting...”
“Ah, conversation is good. “Wouldn’t you, you thief, listen to my story for a moment?”
After trying to create a frost sword at the saintess's words, Yooseong continued.
“In the beginning, there were the Elyos and the Demons, and the Demons are on the verge of invading and destroying the world. For your information, I am a warrior who came from another world to save the world, and in order to save the world, I need to find the ancient weapon of the Elyos called ‘Ark’, so I am looking for it with the 37th saint of the Holy Celestina Church.”
“I understand that they are in cahoots with the city and are making a living by preying on fledgling adventurers and even selling off their corpses, but for the sake of world peace, can you just let us go?”
At Yooseong’s words, silence fell for an instant.
“Hey guys! “What kind of bullshit is this bastard talking about now?”
“Looks like he was so scared that his head got messed up!”
After the silence, mockery and laughter returned. Hearing those words, Yoosung let out a curse.
“ah. “I knew it would be like this.”
Sigh!
Suddenly, the frost sword was swung towards a gang of adventurers and labyrinth thieves. My shoulder was cut and blood poured out.
“Ahhhh! “My arm, my arm!”
“The burden has been lost!”
“How dare this damn bastard...!”
“Oh, the extras talk a lot.” The gang adjusted their weapons in unison, and Yoosung stretched out his arms without heeding anything. Cold bullets flew out from the tips of his fingers. Like an explosive exploding in front of his nose, flesh, bones, and internal organs exploded all at once. Yoosung used the frost sword again
. I swung. The scarred captain’s ax, filled with blue blades and aura, clicked together.
‘How can you use aura?’
Kaang
“You bastard...!”
“Watch your step.”
As soon as the ice and steel collided, a brown cat jumped out from under Yoosung’s feet.
“Go cat...?”
The corner of the cat's mouth split like a crescent moon and he smiled.
Immediately after, the maw of a monster burst out from under the scarred captain's feet, and there was nothing left there.
“The captain has been defeated!”
“You should have moved out of the way, you damn thieves.”
The blood spread out in the shadows like ink in water.
And on the 6th layer.
As soon as she cleared out the labyrinth bandits and came down the layer, Saint Illysia's movements suddenly stopped. At the same time, a girl was laying a mat at the entrance to the layer. He greeted Yooseong,
“Welcome, uncle. I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Okay, that’s good.”
“Achievement score 975.OOOP I collected a lot. I collected a lot. So I also brought a lot of things to sell. Quickly buy me a card pack.”
“Purchase the Fire Accelerated Recovery Earthquake Potion.”
“Buy me a pack of cards too.”
“Purchase these rare accessories, ‘Wind Bracelet’ and ‘Power Ring.’ Oh, and purchase one intermediate growth stone.”
“Buy me a pack of cards too.”
“Do you want some taffy?”
With those words, Yoosung stood up.
The player can equip a maximum of three accessories, excluding overlapping parts. However, the ‘Token of Trust' given by the Syrian princess cannot be equipped yet, so the Necklace of Vitality and In addition, two ‘Wind Bracelet' and ‘Power Ring' were equipped to
fill the remaining slots.
《Wind Bracelet》

As Yooseong stood up, the girl's body stopped and the clock hands of the stationary world began to move.
How long had it been since then? It was after the 37th floor had just been cleared out.
Corridor After clearing out the endless monsters of the labyrinth beyond, the system message finally appeared:
[Level has risen!]
‘2 levels to go.’
Level 48. The frost sword circling around the meteor turned into cold magic and collapsed. His breathing was a bit rough. “We’ll stay here for the
night and attack again tomorrow.”
The saintess nodded silently,
“You don’t look very good after encountering the labyrinth thieves earlier.”
“You’re not used to seeing the world without the title of saint, aren’t you?”
In response to Yooseong’s question, Saint Illisia quietly nodded,
“I told you that it wouldn’t be good for you to follow me.”
“Are you familiar with these
?”
“The world is in the same state. That’s it.”
Yooseong answered. Calmly, with nothing new to say
.
A few days later.
The 100th floor. The deepest part of the ancient labyrinth and the final testing ground where the fragment of the Ark rests.
[Defeat the high-ranking demon ‘Executioner Verka'. I did it!]
“Ugh, Demon God...! Please forgive my disloyalty for not being able to take the Ark!”
“Oh, okay. Take care and go home safely.” Leaving behind that heartbreaking cry, Yoosung answered as if it were no one else's business.
[Your level has increased!]
[A ‘Random Skill Card Pack' will be given as a special reward!]
[Achievement score of 10,000P has been obtained
. !]
“It’s just a bunch of hard work.”
The level 49 Yooseong raised his head while swearing.
After passing the test against the guardians of the Ark in the black and white sanctuary, and killing the high-ranking demons who came to steal the Ark with good timing, he was finally able to obtain the Elyos' ancient weapon, ‘Ah'. A piece of ‘K' was greeted by a shooting star.
Regardless of Saint Illisia's worldly state, the saintly power she possessed was by no means a lie. At least in this world, she would be one of the strongest in the world. If she were not there, I didn’t even want to imagine how difficult the work must have been.
“That’s Ark…!”
“For an ancient weapon, it looks quite plain
.”
It was a pure white jewel shining on the altar.
[Quest item ‘Piece of Arc One Hundred (White)’ was acquired!] I
grabbed the piece of Arc and put it in my bag, and that was when.
Boom . At the
same time, I was stepping into the ancient labyrinth. The whole area began to shake. As if an earthquake had occurred and the ground collapsed. It
was the same thing that happened when the shooting star and a blue portal trembled in front of the saintess.
As she exited the ancient labyrinth through the portal, the labyrinth city of Garcia came across two people. Ram was greeted.
“Thank you for your hard work, Saint Illisia. And you, the warrior of the other world.”
As a bonus, the jet-black army that was tightly surrounding the area also happily welcomed the two people. It
was not a demon, but a human once again.
“Dragga Empire...?!”
The saint cried out when she saw the dragon mark engraved on the seven-hocked armor. It was the name of a country bordering the Holy Church of Cerestina, to which the saint belonged.
“Why is the Empire...
“Thanks to your activities, our Empire’s task of finding Ark has become truly easier. “Thank you.”
“Wow, you’re sneaky like a real villain.”
Among the knights of the Draga Empire armed with seven-horned armor, a man from Geumville appeared.
“With this, the power of the Arc will finally belong to the Empire and its first prince, Milvas Draga.”
While saying that, the 1st Prince showed the dark-colored jewel he was holding in his hand. In contrast to the one Yooseong had in his hand, it was a piece of Arc that was shining a dark brown light.
Seeing that scene, Saint Ilicia shouted in astonishment.
“Where on earth did the Hump’s Arc come from…!”
“Why is it that all countries with empires are like this?] Hey?”
Nevertheless, it was a situation that Yoosung had nothing to refuse. In the end, the quest item came to me on its own.
“Now, just hand over the arc. Then I will gladly spare your life.”
“I can’t do that. The purpose of using the power of the Arc is to protect the world from demons...!”
“do not worry. “After this body obtains the Ark, the demons will also bow before the empire.”
“In the beginning, there were Elyos, Demons, Nabals, and just humans.”
Yooseong was dumbfounded and intervened. At the same time, the magic of cold swirled around and dozens of frost swords began to be forged.
“I don’t think words will make it easier to talk.”
The prince of the Draga Empire smiled coldly.
“The proud swords of the empire, the time has come to prove your loyalty and bravery!”
At the same time, the jet-black knights surrounding the area began to draw their swords all at once. A black aura followed their swords.
[The scenario concludes.]
The prince and knights of the Draga Empire. It was time to finish the last chapter of the scenario.
