I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 386 Side Story 1 Rapor’s Labyrinth

The director’s office located on the top floor of the Talent Association.

Lee Young-hyeon, a new manager who had been promoted for a week, was receiving a morning report from his secretary.

“The grade 7 dungeon that occurred in Gangwon-do and the grade 6 crack that occurred in Suwon were handled without any problems.”

“What level is the dungeon that appeared under Namsan Mountain?”

“It was predicted to be a level 8 dungeon.”

“Level 8? Are you sure?”

Younghyun Lee frowned. Unlike grades 6 and 7, grade 8 was not something that could be easily handled.

Since I had to request support from a very large guild like Shingeombaekga, I definitely had to look into it.

“I checked it twice yesterday and today, so there is no way the measurement was wrong.”

“Afterwards, contact the Shingeombaekga and the Defeatjeokga.”

“All right.”

The secretary who heard what he said wrote the names of the two guilds in the notebook he was holding.

“And…”

The secretary rolled her eyes, uncertain whether she should say this or not.

“Tell me what it is.”

“It has nothing to do with us, but it is said that a pyramid-shaped dungeon has appeared in the Memphis area of Egypt.”

“Pyramid-type dungeon?”

“yes. “It arose overnight without any sign.”

The secretary took out her smartphone and showed a picture of the pyramid.

Right next to the half-collapsed pyramid, a clean pyramid with no scars as if it had just been built rose up.

“At the entrance to the pyramid, it is written ‘Labyrinth of Rapor’ in Egyptian, and it is said that a mummy and a sandman, a sand snake, pop out near it.”

“Mummy in a pyramid-shaped dungeon? “It’s a hit.”

It wasn’t that strange because sometimes strange dungeons such as old castles or ruined cities of the Colosseum appeared.

“It’s not just that. “It is written in front of Rapor’s Labyrinth that whoever conquers the labyrinth will obtain a treasure that will change their fate, so it is said that many talented people aiming for that entered it.”

“A lot of talent? “Is there really no limit to the number of people?”

“It is said that the entrance to the dungeon is not closed at all, so you can still go in.”

“Hmm, this is my first time seeing something like this…”

Younghyun Lee narrowed his eyes as he looked at the picture of the pyramid again. A dungeon whose entrance cannot be closed is something that has never happened before.

“Is there anyone among the talented people who entered that might know?”

“They say Gamon’s party went in first. Maybe they’ll clear it.”

“You can trust Gamon.”

Gamon is an Egyptian hero who cleared a level 8 dungeon. His party would be able to clear the dungeon without difficulty.

“I understand. “Stop and go out.”

“yes.”

The day’s report ended with the secretary nodding her head.

And two days later.

When Lee Young-hyun came to work and was making coffee, the secretary came in as if breaking the door.

“Chief!”

“what! “Is Namsan’s level 8 dungeon open?”

“Not that, but do you remember the pyramid I told you about before?”

“Of course. But why is that?”

“That pyramid also appeared in Korea! No, it is said that it surged not only in our country but all over the world at the same time.”

“uh?”

Younghyun Lee widened his eyes. I felt like my ears weren’t working properly and I was hearing nonsense.

“Uh, where. “Where are you?”

“This is District 2 of Regen. It is said that the barrier was torn because of that pyramid!”

“This is crazy! Then…”

“Yes. “The mummy coming out of the pyramid and the monsters in the regen area are coming out at the same time!”

“shit!”

I burst out swearing without realizing it. It was not normal if the barrier in the Regen area was broken.

“Luckily, it is said that only the barrier in areas 1 and 2 was broken. “The barrier between Areas 3 and 4 is still maintained.”

“We need to erase the dungeon and reinstall the barrier, so contact Lucas and the Great Yeonmun. Gather together all of the association’s top talents. “Please report every detail of this matter as it progresses.”

“All right!”

The secretary ran out without even having time to nod.

“Phew….”

Younghyun Lee sighed without even sitting down.

“What the hell is going on?”

**

[A pyramid-shaped dungeon that suddenly appeared in Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt, is spreading around the world. There was only one pyramid-shaped dungeon on the 11th, but as of the 17th, there were more than 30.]

The male reporter on TV lowered his eyebrows while pointing to the pyramid in the distance.

[This pyramid, named Rapor’s Labyrinth, is different from other dungeons in that it limits the number of people. The entrance to the dungeon is not closed, so many abilities can enter it. However, even though powerful people seeking the treasure of the labyrinth have entered, not a single person has yet come out…]

“Is that it?”

Baek Woo-jin paused the TV screen and looked at Baek Yeon-hwi sitting next to him.

“that’s right. “This is what the association has requested support for.”

Baek Yeon-hwi nodded and placed the documents he brought with him on the table.

“The pyramid is growing every day, and the monsters near the labyrinth are getting stronger.”

“Monsters also become stronger?”

“The mummy that was normal yesterday is spewing poison today. “The Sandman’s regenerative power increases.”

“There are all kinds of amazing dungeons.”

“It’s not a dungeon, it’s a labyrinth. “Given the situation, I think it would be best to sort it out as quickly as possible.”

“It’s definitely different in many ways.”

The shape was the same, but that labyrinth was different in many ways from the concept of a dungeon I had known so far.

“According to the news, there are many people who entered the labyrinth aiming for the treasure, but no one came out. That’s why I asked you for support. “Please save those people.”

“What am I supposed to do to save these guys who went in after the treasure?”

Baek Woo-jin snorted. It wasn’t that he was forced to move, and he had no intention of rescuing the people who entered the dungeon looking for treasure on their own.

“It’s not just people who go in for treasure.”

“hmm?”

“Monsters like mummies and sandmen appear around that labyrinth. There are many people who entered the labyrinth to get rid of those monsters. In addition, the place where the labyrinth rises in our country is Rezen District 2.”

“Regen District 2?”

Since I had been training in a closed building a while ago, I did not know that the pyramid was created in Area 2.

“The pyramid tore the barrier, causing chaos. To prevent that, Gwangryong also entered the labyrinth.”

“Gwangryong….”

After the death of Daeyeonmunju, Daeyeonmun went down the path of decline, but after Gwangryong ascended to Munju, it was on the rise again.

“In addition to Gwangryong, there are more than one or two people who entered the labyrinth to erase it. “It doesn’t matter if they went after treasure, but we can’t abandon those who moved for the greater good.”

“That’s right.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded. It didn’t matter whether the treasure hunters died or not, but I wanted to save the people who moved to erase the dungeon like a light dragon.

“The fact that people with Light Dragon-level abilities have entered but have not yet come out means that the labyrinth is difficult, right?”

It didn’t matter what monsters there were, but the fact that it was a labyrinth was what bothered me. No matter how confident you were, it was not easy to break through a complicated or strangely shaped maze.

“It might be a little annoying.”

“Has the Muyoung guest arrived yet?”

“I guess you’re busy playing. “There is no contact whatsoever.”

I told Moo Young-gaek and Moon Ju-young to go on a vacation for a year. Unlike fighting every day, the two went on a trip together.

‘They say there’s nothing if you really need it.’

Baek Woo-jin quenched his appetite. It would have been a great help in conquering the labyrinth if there had been a Muyeonggaek who was an expert in organs and devices. I didn’t know that I would regret not having that guy.

“Should I take some smoke balls?”

A smoke bead is a tool for finding your way in a maze by drawing a map with the smoke that comes out. I once used it in a gargoyle dungeon and found the way first.

“I took most of the dungeons with me because it was a very unique dungeon and was called a labyrinth.”

“If you take the smoke ball and still haven’t come out, it means it’s not an ordinary labyrinth.”

“I heard the association has recruited someone to help explore the labyrinth. “We can go together.”

“Are you a trustworthy person?”

If you are a person with poor abilities, it is not possible to go alone. I definitely had to find out.

“I am a smoke bead maker. “They said they were bringing newly made maze equipment.”

“That’s fine.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded. This is new equipment from the person who created the smoke ball, so it will definitely be helpful.

“I’m looking forward to what you’ll bring.”

**

After Baek Woo-jin finished preparing to enter Rapor’s Labyrinth, he headed to the Regen area.

“uh?”

As I entered the association building in front of the Regen area, an unexpected face caught my eye.

“Lord Baek!”

Seo In-ah, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and smiled brightly. She wore light combat uniform rather than her usual work clothes, and her long hair was tied up tightly.

“Why is Ina here….”

“I was asked a favor too.”

“Please?”

“Didn’t you hear it before? “There is a guide who can help you find your way through the labyrinth.”

“Is that Ina?”

Baek Woo-jin raised his eyebrows. I could never have imagined that Seo In-ah would be my guide.

“Do you know the smoke beads?”

“Of course I know.”

“That’s a tool I made. “Other guys helped too.”

“Huh…”

I heard that the person who made the smoke beads was coming, but I had no idea that it would be Seo In-ah.

“This time, I made a device called Maze Navi, but it’s difficult to use because you have to adjust the mana frequency. “I am the only one who can use it right now, so I came myself.”

“No matter what, it’s dangerous! “No one has come back!”

“That’s why I’m going with Lord Baek. “My father and grandfather also sent me because they said they were going with the Baek family.”

“Wow!”

Baek Woo-jin placed his hand on his forehead. It seems that Seo In-ah already knew that he was going with her.

“If you are Lord Baek, you can protect me no matter what comes out of the labyrinth.”

“Yes, but…”

He nodded briefly. If I were the person I am now, I was confident that I would protect Seo In-ah no matter who the other person was.

“Then that’s it.”

Seo In-ah smiled sweetly and raised her palm.

“what are you doing. Ego.”

“Ah yes.”

When I raised my hand, she slapped her palm up.

“Let us save the world!”

**

Baek Woo-jin headed to Region 2 with Seo In-ah, who was in a good mood as if she was going on a picnic.

“Thank you for coming as soon as you finished training!”

Younghyun Lee, who was waiting there, bowed his head deeply as soon as he saw him. As if the situation was not good, his expression showed no signs of composure.

“What is the situation?”

“It’s serious. Starting early today, soldier ants appeared and even the talented people who were resting were dragged out. As you know, pyramids have appeared in other countries as well, so we cannot receive support.”

Even more than his weak voice, I could tell that he was in a very difficult state when I saw his dark circles that looked like they had been covered in charcoal.

“Hmm…”

I turned my head towards District 2. Because the barrier was torn, the inside was clearly visible.

A majestic pyramid, like something you’d see in Egypt, was rising, and around it, mummy sandmen, sand snakes, soldier ants, and monsters originally trapped in the regen area were rolling in like waves.

“Stop the mummy in front first!”

“If it breaks through, the barrier in Area 3 will also be broken! Endure even if you die!”

“shit! The mummy spews poison! “Bring more antidote!”

The talented people built a circular wall around the pyramid to block the monsters, but it seemed difficult because there were so many of them.

“As you can see, this is the situation. At first, we thought we could solve it on our own, but the situation became increasingly difficult to control. “I’m sorry for not telling you in advance!”

Even though Lee Young-hyeon became the director, he lowered his head at a 90-degree angle like the person below him.

“Um…”

“It’s okay.”

As I was choosing my words, Seo In-ah stuck her face out from behind her.

“It’s already in the past. Now I have to think about the following. “Isn’t that right?”

She looked up at herself and smiled kindly.

“That is correct.”

Baek Woo-jin made eye contact with Seo In-ah and nodded.

“Reflect later. Clearing the pyramid is the top priority now.”

As I entered the crowded land where the blood of monsters and powerful people was flowing, I pulled out my sword.

And then he drew a line with his sword.

Wooooow!

A sword pierced the space as if the world was splitting in half, and the monsters in sight were split in half.

Jeez.

Baek Woo-jin took one more step and unfolded his second sword. The black wind that rose from the sword play tore apart all the monsters left behind.

Phew.

As the cool wind dispersed, none of the monsters near the pyramid were visible.

With just two sword strikes, he erased hundreds of monsters from the pyramid and the regen area.

“Wow….”

“Huh?”

“What is this…”

The talented people looked at the corpses of the monsters sinking to the floor and then turned their heads at the same time like dolls hanging on a string.

“Bae Baek Woo-jin!”

“The god of war has arrived!”

“Oooooh!”

The talented people who confirmed that the person who threw the sword attack was Baek Woo-jin raised their weapons and cheered.

“Please be patient just a little longer.”

Baek Woo-jin pointed to the pyramid while receiving looks of surprise and anticipation from the talented people.

“I’ll erase that soon.”
