Episode 702. Labyrinth ‘Temple of Ramses’ (1)
… … It’s true that I was nervous, but I thought of it as a half-festival.
Anyway, unlike the tower, there’s no danger to your life.
but.
“Fuck.”
That was a mistake.
From the moment they entered the main temple, all communication with the outside world was cut off. Live broadcasts were also cut off, and they were completely isolated.
If it had been just that, it wouldn’t have been a big problem, but the worst thing happened after encountering the monsters.
Monsters that were thought to be fake holograms began to attack the party with full physicality and hostility.
The power of each monster was beyond imagination, perhaps due to a balance patch error.
Kuung!
Another one fell down.
He wasn’t out, he really lost his life.
Less than an hour after coming in, about 30% of the total power was lost.
‘At the very least, we need to prevent other players from entering here.’
Like a moth flying into a flame.
No matter how many numbers come in, they will just die out without meaning.
I thought that it would only be worth a try if at least five rankers from the top 100 of the seven guilds joined.
‘If the initial difficulty is like this, maybe we’ll need EX-class Transcendents. Damn it.’
The scale of the labyrinth is beyond imagination.
It was completely unknown how many stronger monsters were swarming inside.
“……We give up here. Everyone, go to the entrance and hold out until support arrives.”
Hamilton made a decision.
“Yes? Ha, but….”
“You’ve come this far to be the first one in here, but if you give up now, you’ll never have another chance to join the 1st Army assault force.”
It’s difficult, but it’s still possible.
Because the reward was so big, it was hard for anyone to take the leap.
“Are you all going to die because of that main raid? Don’t you all feel that the situation is strange? If you stay alive, you’ll have another chance.”
Although it was a second-tier raiding force of the Titan Guild, the raid leader, Hamilton, was a raid leader with a sense of beastliness in his own right.
Fortunately, his crew members trusted their leader’s words more than their own greed.
The worry didn’t last long.
“All right.”
“Bam! When we’re done, let’s all have a drink of vodka. I don’t think wine or beer will be enough to soothe my bitter stomach.”
As soon as the order was given, the attacking force maintained their defensive position as much as possible and secured a retreat route.
“Keeeeee!”
“Keeeeee!”
Mummies with long, torn mouths.
Cursed monsters spewing tainted blood from their mouths have been increasing the level of pressure.
Unlike the enemies that had been defeated 10 minutes ago, the newly appeared enemies were so strong that even A-class players had a hard time guaranteeing victory.
“Coolook! Crack!”
“Mason! Just hold on a little longer. Just hold on a little longer!”
Cheeeeek!
Acrid smoke rose along the ground. The acidic liquid piled up and was unable to be vomited out, so there was less and less room to step.
The raiding party’s advantage of having a well-organized team has long since disappeared.
… … Now, it is not easy to retreat.
Moreover, from the moment the rotten wolf-shaped being appeared, any hope of escape disappeared.
Kukukukukukuku!
The air changes rapidly.
In the cold, frozen room, only the smell of death lingered.
“Krrrr….”
The wolf holding the black book and black cane began to emit black shadows one after another.
Tingle tingle!
It feels like my skin itself is going to burn.
You can feel it even from far away.
That’s a whole other level.
It was a named monster, of course, and it had the most powerful power of any monster he had ever seen.
It would be a kind of game to just watch with red eyes flashing in the darkness. If he steps forward, there would be no variables, even if it were just one.
“shit.”
As the amount of damage surpassed the healers’ healing, Hamilton’s face turned ashen.
It’s the end.
Just when I thought that.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!
Something strange happened.
A single ray of golden light swept across the battlefield.
“I will join.”
A knight who exudes divine power from every fiber of his being.
It was Teresa de Laurencia.
A promising ranker from a famous family. Although his activities have noticeably declined since the Amsterdam Outbreak, he was a figure that everyone has heard of at least once because of his brilliant start.

“Is that support?”
“Thank goodness! It’s a knight!”
Cheers erupted here and there.
With the arrival of a profession that boasts the highest efficiency against undead-type monsters like mummies, it’s only natural that hopes are high.
But the joy didn’t last long.
“Is that the end?”
Only about six.
The personnel and composition that did not even have the minimum combination were embarrassing to call a raiding party. This way, rather than providing any help, they would only increase the number of corpses.
however.
[Teresa activates her unique ability, ‘Protection of the Stars’!]
Kukukukukukuku!
The golden crosses that pierced the ceiling were not something that could be held by just one paladin.
“Keeeeee!”
“Keeeeee!”
The golden mist that fell indiscriminately vaporized hundreds of mummies.
Everyone watched Teresa’s fight in a daze.
All of my senses were focused on one side.
To remember each and every scene.
Only one.
Except for the named monster, ‘Corrupt Priest’.
“…….”
The corrupt priest who had been watching the whole time felt Teresa’s presence and moved his hand.
Unlike the ants that you just play with and trample on, an enemy worth moving and dealing with has appeared.
Hurrruk!
Black vapors billowed violently.
Teresa’s divine power disappeared in an instant, and cursed gases filled its place.
An indescribable magical power gathered in the crimson aura at the tip of the staff.
Right then.
“Our saint is having a blast, so just leave her like that. Do you want to play with me?”
A stranger appeared before the corrupt priest.
A climber with black hair and a pair of daggers.
“It is a characteristic of you humans that you cannot grasp the subject, but it is ridiculous. To think that just one person would fight against this body.”
[The corrupted priest activates ‘Ancient Black Death’!]
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
A beam of light made up of black particles shot out toward a single point.
Although the range was much smaller, its power was reminiscent of the Black Dragon’s Acid Breath.
“Sorry, I think I might be a little awkward controlling my strength since I’ve only fought against strong guys.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly and lightly swung his dagger.
[‘Black Moon Night’ is activated!]
The rushing light and the black crescent moon collided at one point.
⁕
Same time.
Hamilton, who had been completely infatuated with Teresa, who was unilaterally slaughtering the mummies, came to his senses belatedly.
“That’s right. The named monster is…!?”
The mummies aren’t the point.
The most dangerous one was the monster in the shape of a wolf.
Before the bastard makes a full-scale move, we must prepare a defensive stance centered around Teresa. A paladin who can handle this much divine power might be able to survive until the main force arrives.
however.
The wolf that was the biggest problem was nowhere to be seen.
instead.
“Nice to meet you. I guess it’s because desert travel is so popular these days. I’ve been seeing you more often than I thought.”
Jinhyuk slowly walked out of the shadows.
“There was a named monster in that direction, how could it have come from there?”
“Named?”
Jinhyuk opened his eyes wide.
“That, that’s right. It’s a terrifying thing that can wipe out an entire raid party. We had almost given up on running away because of that monster….”
“Well, was there such a guy or not?”
I don’t really remember if there was anything particularly threatening, except that I picked up a strange walking stick on the way here.
***
After one storm passed.
In order to find the vanguard that had disappeared, each guild dispatched an additional raiding party comprised of rankers.
The nominal reason was that he had to confirm the life or death of his precious comrades, but the real reason was that he had to obtain the rewards inside the main temple no matter what sacrifice was required.
The raid force of the 7 major guilds gathered in this way.
The raiding party, which had spread out and entered, was able to easily find the surviving vanguard within the temple.
And of course.
The old people corporation and Jinhyuk who are next to them as well.
“You little punk…!”
Dreadroar’s ranker, Mayer, immediately approached Jinhyeok.
It looks like he might pull out a sword at any moment.
It’s only natural that they’d be angry since the entire guild ended up in the middle of a typhoon because of Jinhyuk.
The rankers of Dreadroar who followed him also exuded a ferocious murderous aura.
“You have no fear in impersonating us. Even your method of suicide is novel.”
“When I think about all the hardships I’ve had because of that kid….”
“Please change it and drink it.”
Sreung!
Clank!
All kinds of weapons were drawn.
Since all contact with the outside world has already been cut off, whatever happens inside will be left unspoken.
“You have a quick temper.”
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue.
Anyway, it’s typical of newbies to be fascinated by what they see right in front of them without even knowing what the current situation is.
No. But at this point, should I say that I’ve shed my newbie vibe?
Anyway, I think we should at least exchange greetings and start a conversation.
It was when Jinhyuk was trying to sneak a glance at Tibone and Wolyoung.
“That’s a hard thing to listen to.”
A number of magical forces intervened, accompanied by a familiar voice.
Chuck. Swish.
Because he had concealed his presence so well, I didn’t notice him properly until he got close.
“You know who we are and you’re interfering….”
Meyer paused as he spoke.
Because the person who started the fight wasn’t just some idiot.
Takeshi.
With his ability to read the future, he saved Japan from many crises.
In particular, he displayed outstanding performance in the Aphandos Habitat Raid with the current top ranker, Suet, and raised the awareness of the Samurai Guild.
[Sweeping away three named monsters, a gate guardian, and about 70,000 ants, only left about 20 casualties.]
[It was all thanks to the Samurai Guild that we were able to conquer the most difficult route 3 with the least amount of damage!]
[The story of the great hero who saved mankind is revealed]
The press and media alike praised Japan’s achievements and Takeshi’s judgment in making the absurd a reality.
As a result, the Samurai Guild established itself as one of the seven major guilds.
They have become the strongest martial arts group in the melee, one that no one can dare ignore.
“If you keep talking nonsense, we won’t stay still either.”
Takeshi growled.
Then, the rankers on Dreadroer’s side looked at each other with a look of embarrassment.
No matter how serious the crime of impersonating them was, a clash with a large guild that wasn’t in the plan was bound to be burdensome.
Even more so if it is a samurai guild full of fierce swordsmen.
“… … That’s what you said? Man, what can I do about this? I really wanted to fight for you too, but really. I can’t help it.”
Jinhyeok’s death was a bonus, as it made me feel sick inside.
