71 – An encounter with a fate you don’t want to run into

“It’s deeper than I expected.”

It seems like we’ve walked a long way, but the road continues.

I am moving forward, looking only forward.

Looking at the traps that appear from time to time along the way, it seems like a maze in terms of structure, as expected.

However, they have yet to meet even the crossroads that are common in mazes.

I wondered if he had used a magical device or characteristic to get lost, so I narrowed the detection range and looked closely, but as expected, I couldn’t feel anything.

I just don’t know anything about it except that the road was designed to be ignorantly long.

I wonder if he intended to make it a full course of a very long straight trap and die if he accelerated suddenly.

But the problem is that it doesn’t mean anything to me right now.

If it’s a simple trap, I’ve been studying to survive since the days when I couldn’t use magic, so it’s easy to spot by looking at its location or structure.

The complicated traps that contain magic have risen to a level where even the smallest amount of magic can be detected, so there’s nothing to be surprised at.

It is a situation where the most ineffective person passed by this place, contrary to the intention of the people who installed it.

“Uh… ?”

As I was walking, disarming the traps one by one, I noticed something large sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall.

It’s hard to see because of the distance, but it looks like a human.

However, it could be a trap of another method, so we did not rush, but proceeded slowly, being sufficiently vigilant.

The distance is now close enough to be seen clearly.

The person was certain.

However, I couldn’t feel not only magic power, but also the energy of life.

Looks like he’s dead because he doesn’t even make the slightest movement.

The moment you approach with the decision to narrow the distance a little more and take a closer look.

-Hwiik.

As if they had been waiting, the daggers were rapidly pouring down from the ceiling.

As if trying to eliminate all avoidable cases, it attacks me from multiple directions at the same time.

I was a little taken aback by the trap that appeared without any special device in sight, but I quickly reached out with both hands.

At the same time, he quickly activated his magic and used [Psychokinesis].

Then, a large number of daggers hung in the air as if time had stopped.

“Wow, that could have been a big deal. What did you touch? I didn’t even feel the magic.”

I looked around the daggers stopped in the air by [Psychokinesis], But I couldn’t see anything.

Speaking of a trap, it basically needs to have a device or trigger to trigger it.

I don’t see that element at all.

‘I’ll have to deal with these first.’

I lowered my outstretched hands to the floor.

-Cheong. Visor. Visor.

Daggers falling to the floor according to the movement of the hand.

After that, there was no further attack, and in preparation for the unexpected, he approached the dead man in front of his eyes.

I look up and see a very familiar face.

Cheol-Min Kang from the Seong-Gwang Guild, who was the actual test opponent during the re-examination.

I can’t see the golden armor and red ax that are his symbols, but I can tell from his face.

“Looks like I was attacked by someone….”

Judging from the stab wound left only near the collarbone with no other wounds, it looks like it was struck suddenly.

Of course, it must have been the work of the Assassination Guild.

However, there is no way that a veteran hunter like Kang Cheol-min was not vigilant in this situation.

But seeing as he was killed so easily, it was easy to guess that the opponent was absolutely formidable.

At that time, a large amount of mana was detected from a distance.

When I hurriedly turn my head to find someone from the dead Kang Cheol-min, I see a familiar looking person walking toward me from the end of the street.

Wine-colored long hair fluttering, showing off her body as if she were proud of her outfit, and holding her exclusive sword, ‘Yeomhwang’.

I ended up meeting another person I really didn’t want to meet.

“Yura Han, why are you here?”

“Hello. Wonwoo. We must be destined, see you here again.”

Han Yu-ra greeted me by raising her hand and waving it with her welcome face.

“Why are you here, not talking nonsense. Tell me quickly.”

This is really disgusting.

We run into each other often these days, and it’s certain that Han Yu-ra is approaching with a deliberate push.

I don’t know if her pride is hurt by ignoring herself or if she has some other purpose.

Now that it’s already over, I can’t figure out why it’s doing that.

I’m really nervous that Sujeongie will get really pissed off and start stabbing with a knife, no, stabbing with a scythe.

“It’s nice to see you bounce. Why did you come, I came for the same reason as you.”

Han Yu-ra has a fresh and bright smile.

Other men’s hearts would have trembled, but from my point of view, it’s just annoying and frowning.

“I heard that the Starlight Guild only sends A-ranks?”

“I volunteered to come because they needed someone to lead. They say people who want to see them come here just in time.”

“Please stop talking nonsense. Rather than that, the person from your guild that you need to manage is dead here.”

At those words, Han Yu-ra examines the corpse.

Looking at his face, he said with a rather relieved expression.

“Yes. You’re the kind of person who kept flirting with me, but now you feel comfortable.”

“Han Yoo-ra, you really….”

I came as a person in charge, and a person from the same guild died, but seeing things like that, it didn’t change at all.

A hypocrite who doesn’t care about others and puts his own interests and feelings first.

Even though I’ve seen it from the side since I was young, why didn’t I know at the time like Hogu?

It is said that if you fall in love, you become a fool.

There’s nothing particularly good about being with a kid like this.

It is much safer to travel separately.

“Your guild people are so pitiful. Then I’ll go on my way You too go on your way.”

“We should go together, Wonwoo. Looking at it now, everyone seems to be scattered, but wouldn’t it be better to unite?”

“In principle, that’s correct, but if that’s you, the story is different. You know what will happen.”

“Ah, if it’s our Wonwoo, no matter how dangerous it gets, of course I won’t throw it away. You are different from those kids. I know that Wonwoo saved my life.”

Seeing Han Yu-ra speak with her cheeks reddened, I feel nauseated inside.

“Stop talking bullsh*t and go down the street. I’ll go in the direction you came from.”

At those words, Han Yu-ra smiled lightly and said.

“You will regret it… ? Didn’t you get lost quite a bit here?”

She speaks like she knows something. Han Yu-ra.

She asked, as if questioning the figure for no reason.

“If you have something to say, say it right away.”

“Hmm. In the past, I didn’t like it because he was too obedient, but these days, he’s so poppy that it’s different, our Wonwoo. Try to get better.”

“This crazy b*tch is really….”

“Whoops…. Curse at me too are you okay. Because I am a generous woman”

“Ha….”

When she sees Yoo-ra Han smiling as if nothing is wrong, she is speechless because she is dumbfounded.

She wasn’t such a nice person before, but the current Han Yu-ra feels worse every time she meets her.

To express it like this, but I wonder if I’m watching the process of people really going crazy.

“I’ll tell you especially since it’s our Wonwoo. Voila.”

She took a small key from her back pocket.

She is so small that she looks like the key to the small lock she used to lock her locker when she was young.

“What is that?”

“Follow me if you’re curious about what this is.”

Han Yu-ra turned her body around and she made her gesture to follow her and started walking in front of her.

‘For now, I don’t feel like they’re conspiring, so I’ll have to follow them.’

I’m worried about Sujeong, and she can’t keep wasting time here.

And after a short walk we found another body.

A light gray outfit with a dagger pattern on it.

Han Yu-ra pointed with her finger and said.

“This guy is from the Assassination Guild. He wanted to attack me, so I dealt with it right away.”

As if to prove Han Yu-ra’s words, the scar on the man’s chest looks like it was burned.

“So why are you here?”

“Look carefully. Did this guy come out of here?”

A stone wall that is tightly blocked by anyone’s eyes.

She puts the key shown earlier between the stones, and suddenly magic power is generated from the key and a very brief light is emitted.

Then, a gap was formed in the wall where a person could pass through, and a handle appeared that could be opened like a swing door.

“What is this….”

“They used their hair very well, right? Wonwoo I put magic into this key only to avoid being caught by magic detective type hunters like you. When not in use, the mana disappears. It’s the entrance. Only they know where it is, right?”

“Then this road… ?”

When asked about the road she is currently on, Han Yu-ra answers with a smile as if she is in a good mood because she is interested in something.

“The dead man said it was a way to make the road go on for a very long time without dead ends or forks, and to torture hope that the road would end someday? I don’t know how long it will be.”

When I thought of a maze, I only thought of a confusingly complicated twist, but I would have thought it was a maze that exploited psychological loopholes.

It seems that they made it because they thought that if they didn’t have the key when they came here, they would all be intruders from the Assassination Guild’s point of view, so there was no way they would do anything.

“Then shall we go in?”

Han Yu-ra took the lead, opened the door, and entered as if it were natural.

Then I saw a very neat and well-groomed road that was different from the roads I had walked so far.

“How is it? Aren’t you going with me?”

She winks lightly and holds out her hand to follow her.

It takes too long for her to ignore no matter how bad her feelings are and move to find another doorway.

The more you do, the longer it will take to find Sujeongi.

Even if they disperse later, she has no choice but to follow her now.

“Ha…. Go, go.”

After removing her outstretched hand and stepping inside, Hanyura smiled and said without a hint of displeasure.

“Whoops. Yes yes Let’s go together like this sister said. Even if something dangerous happens, my sister will stop it.”

“Who is who? Go for a quick walk.”

“Put, yes. Please follow me.”

Han Yu-ra takes the lead again, ignoring her anger even when she gets angry.

In fact, she wants to lead the way, even if she doesn’t want to hear that kind of noise.

But she gave up on her back for no reason, and since she doesn’t know what will happen to Han Yoo-ra, it’s right for her to endure it for now.

While she was walking like that, she encountered her first three-way fork.

The two of us stopped for a moment.

“Huh? Wonwoo! It’s Yura!”

At that time, Jisoo noona appeared at one of the crossroads and called out to us in a welcome voice.
