Chapters Chapter 180: The Labyrinthos Maze (1/2)
Ding!
The notification for a quest popped up.
[Labyrinthos Maze]
Aim: Get through the maze
Reward: The Holy Light Sword, Mitra
People that can go in: 0/1
-This quest occurs to only those with the item ‘The Trace of the Holy Light Sword’.
-If the item ‘The Trace of the Holy Light Sword’ is used, the user will receive the ‘hi-pass’ buff, and will reach the boss room safely.
“Oh?”
At this message, Kang Chul-In smiled.
“Mr. Chul-In…? What is it?”
“A quest appeared.”
“A quest?”
“Do you remember the Lord meetings?”
“Yeah?”
“It seems that the item I got as a reward for getting 1st place is a map that can be used to clear this maze. Kuk… these idiots.”
Kang Chul-In murmured, astonished.
To think that the dungeon that they had opened was the dungeon that Kang Chul-In had been looking for. Whether it was Albrecht Vilhelm or Alex Rothschild, they had really helped Kang Chul-In out this time.
“I-Is that so…”
“The reward is good.”
“What is it?”
“An epic item.”
“...!”
“And it’s a sword too, which is exactly what I need.”
“Wow!”
Lee Chae-rin exclaimed.
“Congratulations!”
“Thanks.”
Kang Chul-In tried to sit back up saying that,
“N-No!”
But Lee Chae-rin stopped him, almost toppling him over with her body.
“Don’t!”
“...?”
“Please, just rest… Don’t go to the dungeon when your body…”
“Lee Chae-rin.”
“Two days, or at least a day…”
“I’m not going.”
“Huh?”
“I also... am human.”
Kang Chul-In said, in a somewhat tired voice.
“As you suggested, I’m planning on resting for at least a day.”
“Oh…”
“It’s not like the dungeon will disappear if I don’t go now, so I’m thinking of resting for a day to recover. I doubt that I’ll be able to fight against the boss monster of the dungeon in this state.”
Even though Kang Chul-In was somewhat known for acting on impulse, he wasn’t planning on going into the maze when he knew that he couldn’t beat the boss in his current state.
“Oh… S-Sorry…”
“It’s fine. Just… move out the way.”
“Huh?”
“I can’t breathe properly.”
At Kang Chul-In’s words, Lee Chae-rin quickly stood up, and moved back to her seat, fl.u.s.tered.
Brrr!
Lee Chae-rin’s phone started to vibrate.
“It’s sir Kwak.”
“Hand it to me.”
Saying that, Kang Chul-In took the phone.
-Ms. Chae-rin! I-Is Milord… Is he alright?
“It’s me.”
-...Huh?
“I’m alright.”
-A-Are you really, alright, Milord?
“It’s just a small concussion.”
-...As expected.
“It’s nothing.”
Just like Lee Chae-rin and the medical staff, Kwak-Jung was astonished that the blow that Kang Chul-In had taken lead to only a ‘minor’ injury.
-Anyway… it’s good that you’re safe, Milord.
“Thanks. So, did you come up with a plan as a response?”
-Yes, sir. We’re planning on splitting the adventurers into groups of 5 to 7, and will send them over to one dungeon at a time. The higher level dungeons--- we’ll leave those to the idi… I mean, Overlord Dorian Explorer and his friends.”
“Friends?”
-Uh… Well… He brought over 3 somewhat strange friends. They’re waiting for orders in Milord's house.
Kang Chul-In focused on those ‘strange friends’ that Kwak-Jung had mentioned.
“Are their names John ‘Safari’, David ‘Chrome’, and Sean ‘Firefox’?”
-Y-Yes, that’s right.
“...Those idiots are in my house? With Dorian?”
-Yes…
“Hu…”
Kang Chul-In sighed in rage.
John Safari, formerly of the Delta Force.
David Chrome, formerly of the Navy Seals.
And Sean Firefox, formerly of the Green Berets.
The three of them were Dorian’s friends, and were all former special force agents.
They were also people that weren’t sane in various ways, and were people that were extremely similar to Dorian.
They weren’t bad people, but they were people that were tiring to deal with.
“Chase them out, right now.”
-...Sorry?
“I said, chase those people out of my house right now.”
-B-But… Milord… apparently they’re protecting Milord’s mother...
“Who’s next to my mother usually?”
