“It’s a strangely formed mountain.”

A precarious mountain road where even one wrong step will cause you to fall down a 1,000-way cliff.

Muyaho murmured in amazement at the sight he faced at the end of the mountain path.

“It looks like a small hill turned upside down on top of a horizontally carved stone mountain, doesn’t it?”

As she said, the place at the end of the single road is a plain of flat rocks.

And at the end of the rocky plain a new peak rose more convexly.

It looks like a small peak placed on top of a large peak.

The appearance of the small peak on top is completely different from the big peak below.

‘The lower part is a rocky mountain, but the upper part is a hill with dense forest…’

In addition, there was thick fog over the plains. I knew very well that the lower part of the peak was wrapped in clouds, so it was called the Sea of Clouds, but I never thought there would be fog even at such a high peak.

This was something that was not recorded in the booklet I had seen beforehand.

‘Is it just an ordinary fog with nothing special…’

Thinking so, the moment Russell was about to move toward the forest wrapped in fog, an urgent voice came from Muyaho.

“A male!?”

“Muyaho?”

When I turn my head back, I see Muyaho struggling with his whole body entwined in the fog.

It looks as if the fog is blocking Muyaho from entering inside.

‘no way…?’

A thought passed through Russell’s head, and with a crackling sound, tendons grew on Muyaho’s forehead.

“What a fog!”

I certainly wouldn’t intend to rip the fog by force, but I didn’t know if it was muyaho.

“Muyaho.”

Russell’s determined voice restrained her movement.

The movement of Muyaho, who was trying to tear apart the lumpy things that woven his body like a spider’s web, stopped for a moment.

“note?”

“If you don’t mind, would you mind taking a few steps back?”

“Ugh. i get it. cock.”

At Russell’s words, Muyaho calmly stepped back.

Then, to her surprise, the fog that had bound her also disappeared like melting snow.

“I knew it.”

“Are you hoping to guess something? cock?”

Muyaho, who was looking at the mist and his own hands and feet with confused eyes at Russell’s muttering, asked.

“yes. Perhaps this fog is used to prevent anyone other than myself from entering the forest.”

“her-?”

“So… Muyaho-sama, would you wait here for a while?”

“Hmm.”

Muyaho immediately nodded for a while, frowning as if he didn’t like Russell’s request.

“I can’t help it. grunt.”

It was with the sound of pain.

“thank you.”

So, Russell left Muyaho on a rocky plain near the hillside and sprinted through the fog for a while.

Squeak-.

The nature of the magical power surrounding the fog has changed.

‘This…?’

Russell, who read the hint, widened his eyes in surprise. It wasn’t the kind of magic that posed a threat, but the form of magic contained within it was surprising.

‘The warp gate was converted into a form of fog?’

If it was magic shape transformation or magic transformation, it was something that any wizard of the tower master level or higher could do.

Some talented mages showed such a miracle from the 5th circle.

But I can’t imagine that a type of magic such as a warp gate could also be transformed in this way.

‘Was it possible because the warp gate is a fog that stays fixed in one place of installation type magic?’

Realizing that there is a magical world that he did not know existed, Russell carefully observed the flow in order to acquire at least a fragment of that state.

Along with him, the world around him changed little by little.

When I woke up again, the place where Russell was standing…

‘Labyrinth?’

It was in the middle of a huge Labyrinth.

.

.

[Hol-hol-hol. The little master finally entered the labyrinth.]

The sheep-voiced owner laughed, saying that the scene he was watching was interesting.

Then, she opened her two beautiful eyes like jewels and said.

[I wonder if the little master will be able to pass the test and reach where I am… All alone.] In my

heart, I wanted to overcome all the tests and greet the little master, but I couldn’t.

All the trials prepared before the owner were prepared by the previous owner and the greatest master, the Dragon God King.

All she can do is hope that the unfinished little master will not give up halfway through.

Please-.

[—Please show me your determination as hard as a rock. Holholhol.]

.

‘How much time has passed…’

Russell sighed as he glanced at the long stone walls stretching to the left and right.

Units of time that can be counted on one hand have long since passed.

After roughly ten days, it had been a long time since I forgot to count the days.

However, despite the passage of such a long time, the labyrinth is still not over.

Just how wide is the labyrinth?

Even so, it was impossible to fly higher than the wall and break through the labyrinth.

It wasn’t that Russell didn’t try.

but.

‘As the height of the flight increases, the height of the walls also increases.’

Perhaps it was forbidden to break through by expedient means. That was not the only expedient that had been blocked.

‘But it wasn’t the kind of wall that could be broken down by force-.’

Gaebolg and Pauling Sun, as well as the 7th circle magic, Inferno, were all concentrated and fired at one point, but the moment they hit the wall, all magic evaporated in the blink of an eye.

‘The curious thing is that I can feel the flow of time vividly, but I am not hungry or sleepy…’ The

333 rule.

Did a normal person survive 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food?

Of course, the strong who reached the level of superhumans could endure much longer than that without air, water or food.

But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel hungry or thirsty either.

‘But I don’t feel hunger or thirst here.’

And Russell had experienced this kind of space once the day before.

‘The ruins of the mythical age discovered a few years ago.’

The space I experienced in the ruins was exactly the same as it is now.

In other words, there is a high possibility that the time here also has a completely different flow than the outside.

‘The question is, how long will this labyrinth last?’

Even with a wry smile, Russell hurriedly accelerated his steps.

To get out of this labyrinth that never ends

…

.

The flow of time was like a flowing water, always flowing without interruption.

It is the same with the time in this unknown labyrinth.

One day, two days, three days, four days… and ten days.

Those ten days were repeated over and over again.

‘Is it still…not over?’

I guess that the time inside and outside is different, but if this much time passed, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.

It was because I didn’t know how many days and days had passed outside as much as I didn’t know how much the difference was.

Maybe a week, maybe a fortnight.

‘No, maybe…more than a month has already passed.’

Thinking so, Russell let out a long sigh.

What made him even more tired was the flickering green window right next to him.

[Do you want to give up the labyrinth? Y/N]

[You can go out of the labyrinth if you give up.]

A notification window appeared when mental fatigue reached its peak, as if he noticed that he was getting tired.

“after-.”

Looking at the notification window, Russell shook his head. A delusion came for a moment, but it was quickly shaken off.

‘no.’

While wandering in the labyrinth for a long time, Russell learned a few things about himself that he didn’t even know.

One of them was that he was a War Mage deep down in his bones, so his desire for power was beyond imagination.

‘The reason why I need power is completely gone…’

Russell laughed at the situation that was so funny even thinking about it himself.

There are two reasons why he wanted power in the past. It was to revive the family and avenge the enemy of his father.

In other words, now that both ends had been more or less fulfilled, he had no reason to crave power any longer.

Besides, if he was a great mage of the 7th circle, he was at a level sufficient to receive treatment wherever he went on the continent.

But what

Nevertheless, Russell’s inner desire to improve as a war mage… The craving for power was getting stronger instead of waning.

I want to rise to a higher level.

I would like to go beyond the 8th circle of being a wizard and reach transcendence, which is called the end of magic.

magic.

I want to see the end of the road.

No, I want to reach out directly.

That thought kept popping up.

Using that thought as a driving force, Russell turned his head.

As if tempting herself, she ignored the flickering green window.

‘Maybe at the end of this road I’ll get another strength.’

just like it has been so far.

In other words, in order to obtain the power beyond this, he had to eventually break through this labyrinth.

‘Giving up now is just a momentary escape to get away from the difficult moment.’

It was the moment when Russell, who shook off the delusion that had been spreading his demonic powers and made up his mind once again, took a heavy step forward.

thud-!

Suddenly, a heavy sensation as if a rock had fallen spread from the top of my foot to my entire body.

Awesomely-.

As if responding to it, the surface beneath the shoe he stepped on cracked like a spider’s web.

Kurrrrrr-!

The labyrinth collapses from the bottom, and Russell’s body falls towards the bottom.

‘Suddenly what?’

Before I was surprised, I heard a notification sound.

[You have proven your determination as hard as a rock.]

[End the labyrinth ordeal and move to the Dark Dragon’s residence.]

‘Dark Dragon?’

Just as the Thunder Dragon is a subspecies of the Fire Dragon and the Cloud Jeongryong is a subspecies of the Thunder Dragon.

Amryong(巖龍) was also a dragon belonging to a subspecies of Saryong(沙龍).

Unlike sandyongs, which generally only have scales of a color similar to rocks or sand, is it characteristic that they hang scales in the same form as various types of rocks?

thud!

As soon as Russell’s shoes, which were free-falling down the collapsed labyrinth, touched the floor, the being spoke to him.

[Hol-hol-hol. An old woman who is dying from old age knows her little master.]

It reminds me of a mountain as if to prove that I have lived quite a bit of life.

Growing above it are scales in the form of various rocks.

‘Basalt, granite, trachyte, andesite, tuff…’

ranging from igneous rocks to metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.

The scale-covered dragon, whose shape was no different from the description in the book, slowly lowered its head towards Russell.

[It’s not much time left… but would you like a cup of tea? All alone.]

The wizard who swallowed the dragon
