After I got my hands on the labyrinth core, I suddenly got mail in my VMB Mail box even though it has been pretty much unused the majority of the ti Id been here. It was the sa as when I subjugated the Erald Demon Labyrinth. This ti, the mail was so sort of congratulatory ssage for conquering the labyrinth.
Id gotten a Magic Identification Tag along with it, and if I wore it, it should allow to use the transfer circle even though Im a Manuke. To confirm this, I backtracked to the 25th floor.
At the center of the Guardians room was the circle. It was round with a 4m diater and engraved with a series of multilayered runes. Looking closely, the symbols also resembled the symbols that Id received in that mail. But no matter how much I looked, the auto translation refused to work this ti.
Was it because the system couldnt recognize the characters, or was it because it was magic?
I stood in the circles center before I drew my combat knife from its sheath on my leg. I intended to cut myself to drip so blood for the biotric information But after I register it, do I really want to instantly transfer to the first floor?
All the guards outside should have heard that roar. So where should I make my escape to the administration building? Or, should I aim to go outside? I never thought Id use the circle, thus I hadnt thought about it. Just in case, I activated the TSS and went to the ACM (Avatar Customization nu), then I switched my appearance to Shafts.
[Kays E/N: I dont want to keep typing out Avatar Customization nu, so Im just going to shorten it to ACM.]
I summoned the supply box and rearranged my equipnt. I also made sure that all my special grenades were replenished. I set the baton and the welrod on my waist. Next, I took out the AS VAL and slung it over my shoulder, making sure it was hidden on my back. Then I put my german overcoat over it and stashed 4 tomahawks in it.
Finally, so spare magazines and I was ready to go. I carried the bag containing the labyrinths core on my back before I used a knife from my inner pocket to make a small cut on my finger. I let three drops of blood drip onto the circle.
My chest felt warm. Perhaps it was the magical identification tag giving off the heat. I could see the circle emit light and the blood absorbed and spread throughout the circle. Now the circle was dyed red for a mont before it sank into the floor.
Will it really work? For the ti being, it seed to react to my blood was different from the ti I tried without it.
But nothing happened.
I only read the simple instructions on the circle, so I wasnt exactly familiar with how it operated. Should I infuse so power into it? No way I could do that! Is there a special chant? I dont know!
What to do now Escape! Operate! Transfer!
Perhaps it responded to the last word I shouted the circle glowed again and spun clockwise; once, twice, and then thrice before a curtain of light appeared and blocked my view for a few seconds. But when it dissipated, I found myself outside the labyrinth in the forest.
Soone ca out! In here!
While I was still perplexed by the sudden change in scenery, I heard a man shouting from behind. Looking back to the entrance of the labyrinth, I could see nurous guards and administrators. Apparently, I had transferred a little bit away from the entrance.
Oooh! Shaft! Its Shaft-san, right?!
Did you manage to conquer the labyrinth?!
Apparently, they saw from the entrance so they imdiately bombarded with questions as they ca at . The guy who had called out to was the sa clerk who handled my registration a few days ago.
Is it really conquered?!
How about the labyrinth core?!
While I was still processing the first question, they had already surrounded .
The labyrinth was conquered. Didnt you hear the roar earlier?
The guards and administrators instantly scread in response to my reply. I had no idea if it was screams of joy or what. I was caught off guard by their praises as a guard urged to the admin building, so I decided to go there first. Before I knew it, two guards had already mounted their horses and rode off towards Fort Barga.
In the admin building, I was basically interrogated. Like, how was I able to transverse through the 21st floor and beyond. What creatures spawned there. About the Guardian and the Labyrinth Master, and how was I able to extract the core. Of course, I was under no obligation to answer. But I politely answered what I could talk about.
I only got to leave the building after 3 hours Along the end, a gentleman who claid himself as the Director of the Wolf Fang Labyrinth invited for a short al. During which, he requested to participate in the harvest festival. He also offered to buy the core from and asked to co along when he reported the matter to Duke Barga. He treated differently compared to the other administrators. Unfortunately, I had to decline almost everything.
After this, I would be following Ashley to the southern region of Kurtrga Kingdom. I didnt believe Id make it back in ti for the festival. And I specifically asked Duke Barga for permission to explore the labyrinth as a mber of the rcenary Guild, so I think hed have expected I would have raided the labyrinth soon. I dont want to stop by his office just to say Ive done it.
I wanted to show off the labyrinth core to the people at Marida Company, so I said that I couldnt sell it right away. After giving an appropriate excuse and telling him I had to leave, I left the admin building.
The sun had almost set would I make it before the gate closed?
Thinking about the labyrinth as I walked along the forest pat, I couldnt help but feel accomplished. I still had questions about the guardian and master. Next ti, if I reached the end of a labyrinth again, I might encounter a similar situation. With that in mind, I moved on quickly.
Sothing is coming.
I could hear it through my sound sensors a galloping horse coming towards . However, it sounded heavy, unlike those belonging to ssengers. It was as if the rider and their horse was outfitted with heavy equipnt.
I stopped and watched my surroundings. My radar also hadnt displayed any blips, but i could already see it at the end of the road. A black knight Not one of those Barga Knights Sothing more terrifying.
It seed to have noticed and increased its speed. The black horse was also fully armored. One hand on the rein, the knight reached for sothing at its side. The next mont, it held a massive halberd in both hands and the horse sped up. This had to be a skill! WIth unnatural speed, the horse and its rider approached.
[Kay E/N: Yes, its this short ]
