The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 263
◈ Episode 263: When did my disciples (1)
sink the island where the Sanjeos were sealed? Exactly two weeks later, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to return to the labyrinth again.
“I guess I solved it properly.”
“Well, that’s right.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who nodded in response to the guide’s question and sat down in the seat provided inside the Labyrinth Lord’s office, told her what he had seen in the Sanjeos’ seal as if it had suddenly occurred to him.
The guide who was listening to this soon opened his mouth as if he understood.
“Maybe it was to select the next leader.”
“Next boss?”
“Yes, the mountaineers basically have a high fighting spirit and a strong desire, so as soon as they found out that their leader was dead, they probably fought each other to become the leader.”
“…That’s why it was such a mess.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded as if he understood and then asked another question.
“But in the end, they are a group led by Avatars, right?”
“yes?”
“But aren’t we too faithful to our desires to think that this is a group led by Avatars?”
“Of course, as the incarnations became greedy and desire, most of those groups also changed.”
“When the upper head changed, everything changed together?”
“In the first place, there are few groups that change as quickly as the changes above, like the subordinates of the Avatars.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at the guide’s words and then spoke.
“But now with this, the first two groups have been weakened quite a bit?”
The guide nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“yes. “Actually, it was a bit of an unexpected benefit, but it wasn’t a bad thing.”
Kim Joo-hyuk spoke in response to the guide’s words.
“Is there any way to weaken the other guys before their seals are released?”
“hmm. Like this?”
“First of all, I can go inside as long as I have ice shoes.”
As Kim Joo-hyuk spoke while slightly raising the white sword, the guide immediately shook his head.
“If you think about it a little, there might be a way, but it’s going to be a little difficult right now.”
“…okay?”
“In fact, weakening the group like this is of course helpful, but it is more important that you regain your original strength first.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded in response to the guide’s answer, exchanged a few more words with her, and continued the conversation.
“Oh, by the way, what about the other guys?”
“The other guys?”
“Barcena and the others you sent to increase your strength. “Have any of them returned?”
“Not yet.”
“…Do you think this will take a while?”
The guide seemed to find it a bit difficult to answer Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, and then spoke.
“Actually, it’s true that it’s taking a long time, but I’m not sure exactly when it will come back.”
“The reason is?”
“In the first place, the reason they gained the power I taught them was because of a difference in willpower… Well, it may be a little difficult depending on the person.”
“The bottom line is we’re not sure when we’ll be back.”
“yes.”
“Hmm…”
Kim Joo-hyuk thought for a moment about the guide’s words.
The guide, who was quietly looking at him, spoke as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“Oh, now that I think about it, I heard some interesting news during the two weeks you were away.”
“Exciting news? “What is that again?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, the guide began to tell Kim Joo-hyuk about a rumor he heard some time ago.
And Kim Joo-hyuk, who listened to the guide’s story for a while, soon tilted his head and said.
“…The Labyrinth Lords are being attacked?”
“huh. “I heard this time that from labyrinth 1 to labyrinth 3, they were swept away?”
“…To whom?”
“I’m not sure about that either.”
Kim Joo-hyuk thought for a moment about the guide’s words and then recalled a previous memory.
“Isn’t the guy who attacked the labyrinth a psychic monster or something?”
“Who is that?”
“There you are, the guy who used to fight with me.”
“?”
When the guide showed a puzzled expression, Kim Joo-hyuk briefly told the guide what happened at that time. Then she tilted her head and spoke.
“Well, if what you say is true, it seems like the situation is such that the deep monster could attack the labyrinth… but I don’t think so.”
“why?”
“Didn’t you say that this deep ghost spirit is the Labyrinth Lord?”
“yes?”
“But it seemed like the Labyrinth Master was capable of wiping out three labyrinths by himself?”
Kim Joo-hyuk pondered for a moment and shook his head in response to the guide’s question.
“That’s not true.”
“yes?”
“It sure didn’t look that strong.”
He muttered this, remembering the time he saw the ghost spirit once before, and continued to think for a while.
Soon, Kim Joo-hyuk came up with his own reasoning.
“Is there any chance that it was the work of one of those nine incarnations?”
“He’s one of the nine incarnations….”
The guide muttered and thought about what Kim Joo-hyuk said, but then shook his head and continued.
“Probably not.”
“…okay?”
“Of course, they could do something like that if they wanted to, but at least as far as I know, there is no one who would attack the Labyrinth Lords so openly.”
The guide closed his mouth again, was silent for a moment, and then opened his mouth.
“If there is one, there is one Hwashin who can do tricks, but his characteristic is to destroy things internally rather than show it externally like this.”
“Then there is no chance of it being the Avatar?”
“I’m not sure, but I think it has some credibility. “There is no reason for them to touch the Labyrinth Jewel, which is sitting still.”
“okay?”
The guide nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“Of course, the Labyrinth Lords won’t take any damage even if the Avatars start messing around again.”
“…Because of goodness?”
“that’s right. Even for Avatars, goodness and fruition are not unnecessary items.”
“You snobbish bastards.”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s sarcastic voice.
“So, in the end, we don’t know who the guy who wiped out the labyrinth is.”
“Of course, unless you go and ask other Labyrinth Lords… I guess it would be difficult to know.”
At the guide’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the guide as if it were something new and asked.
“But how did you find out about this?”
“Oh, that?”
The guide answered like that and then took out a letter from his arms.
“because of this.”
The guide said so and handed the letter to Kim Joo-hyuk. He tilted his head and took the letter, and was soon able to confirm the story inside.
“….”
The content written in the letter was simple.
Congratulations on Kim Joo-hyuk’s inauguration as the new head of the Labyrinth. It was said that it would be necessary to meet face-to-face once and discuss countermeasures due to the recent incident in which Labyrinth No. 1, Labyrinth No. 2, and Labyrinth No. 3 were destroyed at the same time by an unknown person.
“It’s a countermeasures meeting.”
As Kim Joo-hyuk muttered, the guide shrugged his shoulders.
“Just in case, I’m telling you, you probably won’t be able to go.”
“why?”
“The deadline was today. “Wouldn’t the meeting end even if we left right now?”
“…I guess so.”
Kim Joo-hyuk threw the letter on the desk as if he had no choice.
“So, first of all, I went to Kalpa and acquired the sword skills I used before, but where should I go now?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide smiled and opened his mouth, as if he had already expected that question.
“Of course I already know where to go next.”
“okay?”
“And maybe when we head to the next destination and successfully regain our memories, it will probably be a little different than this time.”
“A little different?”
The guide nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question with a confident look on his face.
“Maybe if you get your memories back from there this time, a lot of your strength will come back.”
That’s what he said.
####
Labyrinth Lord.
They have formed alliances for their own authority and to protect themselves since ancient times.
It has long been a proven fact that a team is stronger than an individual.
That is why the Labyrinth Lords did not break off this union.
It did not stop even when the existing Labyrinth Master died by a Labyrinth Min, which was absurd.
It did not break even when another labyrinth lord opened its greedy maw to devour another labyrinth.
That’s because this alliance was created to protect itself anyway, and it would be a loss to fight if you didn’t think you would be harmed.
Therefore, they didn’t necessarily care whether there was a fight among other Labyrinth Lords or not, as long as it didn’t cause too much damage to them.
It was different when an external enemy appeared.
external enemy.
Literally, when people other than the Alliance appeared and touched the Labyrinth Lord, they used the Alliance to resist fiercely.
In any case, the fact that the act of attacking the Labyrinth Lord itself took place from outside meant that those belonging to the alliance could also be attacked.
However,
after the sudden attack of Labyrinth Lords 1 to 3, the six Labyrinth Lords gathered to calm down the chaotic atmosphere.
I was frozen, unable to say a word about this situation.
The six Labyrinth Lords just bowed their heads.
The reason they were keeping their heads down and not saying anything was because of a man who suddenly appeared at the meeting of the Labyrinth Lords.
Because of a man with an endless smile on his face.
The Labyrinth Lords were all frozen.
“Hmm…”
The Labyrinth Lords knew the man’s identity.
He also knew that the man had killed all of the Labyrinth Lords number 1, 2, and 3.
But even so, Migungju did not dare to move her body.
Because that man is stronger than the Lord Labyrinth?
It wasn’t.
The man was no stronger than the Lord Labyrinth.
Even if only three of the Labyrinth Lords here stick around, they can kill the man in front of them.
Nevertheless, there was another reason why I couldn’t make eye contact with that man.
“Umm….”
The man looked around.
All you can see is Labyrinth Lord with her head down.
The man, who had been looking at them for a while, smiled lightly and spoke.
“Now, our Labyrinth owners, there’s no need to stiffen your face like that. “We will leave here with just two more people.”
“…Two people?”
“yes. There are just two of you. We have no intention of persecuting the Lords of the Labyrinth any further. In fact, if the Labyrinth Lords hadn’t done that in the first place, I don’t think we would have moved in the first place…”
He said with a smile.
“Well, since this has already happened.”
The Labyrinth Lords cringe even more at the man’s words.
That’s why they bow their heads like that.
“I have no choice but to move as the ‘Captain’ said.”
It was because the man was a ‘dark dream.’
