Chapter 389 Gaiden 1 Lafort’s Labyrinth (4)

“Did they know each other?”

The Sphinx scratched the floor roughly as they watched Baek Woojin and Seo In-ah go down to the next floor.

Whether it was true that crazy people get along, the four of them knew each other.

‘It was no fun.’

The four wanted to fight each other until they died, but the unexpected happened, and the number of slaves grew annoyed.

‘How do I deal with it… .’

In order to attract more humans to the labyrinth, you also need a bait to get a reward and exit.

But I didn’t like either of them. Even if he arrived in front of him, he did not want to hand over the reward.

‘He can’t be stopped even by Baphomet.’

The next level of ordeal is a battle with the superlative monster Baphomet, the symbol of Lafort Labyrinth.

However, I did not think that sending two Baphomets could stop him.

“I can’t help it.”

The Sphinx chuckled and lifted his head.

‘All I have to do is do it.’

The last floor of this labyrinth, named Lafort, is the labyrinth’s keeper who decides everything.

So he was able to create laws that no one could pass if he didn’t want to.

“There was a myth in this world that was just right for use.”

The Sphinx looked at him and smiled deeply.

**

As soon as Baek Woojin went down to the next floor, he found a stone statue of a monster that remained strong in his memory even though he had only seen it once.

The statue had long twisted goat horns and hooves, its upper body was covered with steel-like muscles, and bat wings sprouted from its back.

“Baphomet.”

The stone statue of Baphomet, the top monster who fought in Regen 4 a long time ago, was staring at him.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The stone statue of Baphomet with a great sword shot out intense fighting as if it were alive. It was as if the actual Baphomet was trapped inside the statue.

“Ah… .”

Seo In-ah, behind the stone statue, groaned at the speculation.

“Are you okay?”

Baek Woojin raised her momentum and kept her from reaching her Baphomet’s speculation.

“Oh, thank you.”

“no.”

She smiled softly as she conveyed her warm energy to Seo In Ah, who was shaking her hand.

‘Now I remember.’

When she turned her head again and saw the statue of Baphomet, she remembered where she had heard the name Labyrinth of La Fort.

‘It was darkness.’

When she fought Baphomet in the Regen 4 area, she said Darkness was a monster that should be in La Fort’s labyrinth.

‘She said that it was a labyrinth that crossed dimensions.’

Lafort’s Labyrinth was said to create a labyrinth suitable for the world he arrived in while traveling through dimensions, and to give great rewards to those who reached the end of the labyrinth.

She had said that she would destroy the labyrinth as soon as she saw it, because the labyrinth keeper who rules the labyrinth decides who passes, and uses those who enter the labyrinth as the energy source of the labyrinth.

[The Seventh Floor Trial, Baphomet’s Wrath begins.][Defeat the angry Baphomet and open the entrance to the last floor.]

“Not bad.”

Defeating Baphomet was easier than any other level of ordeal, even if no one knew about it.

[The seal of Baphomet is released.]

The stone statue shattered with the words that the seal would be released, and Baphomet’s eyes flashed inside.

As expected, a living Baphomet was trapped inside the stone statue.However, Baphomet was not the only one.

A black hole opened to the right of Baphomet holding the greatsword, and Baphomet with the staff soared.

oh oh oh!

The heads of the two Baphomets turned this way. Deep anger towards himself and Seo In-ah stood in their red eyes.

“Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

They let out a powerful roar, and each raised their staff and bayonet.

Shreung!

Baek Woojin drew Seol Young’s sword and approached Baphomet. While exhaling the momentum he had hidden to his heart’s content.

coo coo coo.

The whole labyrinth vibrated only by the expression of energy, and the air began to twist.

“Keeeeeeek!”

Baphomet, who was tired of the powerful energy, wrapped the great sword in a fierce battle, and compressed the red energy in the staff.

“sorry but.”

In the past, I would have spent a lot of time dealing with those two, but now I am not even a light game partner.

“I don’t have time to play with you.”

He smashed the ground with those words.

Baphomet with a staff cut through the blue fireball that was fired, squashed it to the right, raised his sword, and struck it.

“Quick profit!”

Baphomet raised his wand full of fighting spirit in the midst of embarrassment, but he could not stop the Seolyeong Sword.



Aww!

A destructive sword strike exploded, and Baphomet’s upper body exploded along with the staff.

With a single blow, Baphomet’s breath was cut off.

“Keeeeeeek!”

Baphomet with a bayonet came rushing in with a goat roaring as if trying to find a hole.

Whoa!

Baek Woojin took a step back to the left and lowered his sword towards Baphomet, who wielded the great sword.

Quad Duck!

When the black light from Seolyoung Sword’s blade cut through the space, the young great sword and Baphomet split at the same time.

surreung.

After swinging the sword, he put it in its sheath, and Baphomet, split in half, fell over the cold ground.

“Wow… .”

Seoin’s mouth was wide open with half-bearing eyes.

[…] … .]

As if he didn’t know that he could clean up the two Baphomets with two swings, Labyrinth’s voice was also lost.

[The ordeal of the eighth floor is over.][The door on the last floor opens.]

When the labyrinth’s voice rang out with a little bit of embarrassment, Baphomet’s body disappeared and a black hole appeared, the entrance to the next floor.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

Baek Woojin held Seo In Ah and her hand and jumped into the hole at the same time.

**

“Ah… .”

Seo-in-ah let out her exclamation. When her feet touched the ground, a landscape completely different from the brutality she had ever seen before unfolded.

The walls, floors, and ceilings were all built with dark golden bricks, and in the center of the bricks were dazzling jewels like sesame on bread.

‘They’re not ordinary gems.’

Not only the jewels, but also the gold spread all over her, her eyes react to the materials she has. There was nothing out of the ordinary here. All of them were more than unique materials.

[Come well.]

As I was about to take a closer look, I heard a heavy and noble woman’s voice behind my back.

“Ah… .”

As she turned her body, a giant beast looked down on herself and Baek Woojin.

No, it’s not just a beast.

Her body was a lion, the king of beasts, her face was a thin lined beauty, and her tail had the head of a cobra that fluttered her tongue.

“Sphinx, Sphinx!”

The beast that reached the ceiling of the room was the Sphinx, the guardian deity in Egyptian mythology.

“Ugh… .”

The sphinx almost collapsed under the pressure, but Baek Woojin blocked his way.

His body trembled at the friendly energy that spread like perfume from his body.

“Well… .”

Seo In Ah looked into the sphinx’s blue eyes and rubbed her chin.

‘I came in through the pyramid, isn’t it strange?’

The Pyramids and the Sphinx are inextricably linked, so being here did not make sense at all.

[This is the last floor of Lafort’s Labyrinth.]

The sphinx raised his chin and opened his mouth. It was the voice I kept hearing from the labyrinth.

[The ordeal of the last layer uses the unknown of the world. The ordeal I have chosen in your world is that of the Sphinx.]

“The problem with the Sphinx?”

Seo In-ah narrowed her eyes narrowly.

‘The Sphinx that is causing the problem is not Egypt, it is a Greek sphinx… .’

There are two types of sphinx, Egyptian and Greek.

Unlike the Greek sphinx, which devours people who can’t answer questions by asking questions, the Egyptian sphinx has the character of a guardian deity.

[If you solve the problem I gave you, you can get treasures that you will not see anywhere else in the world.]

The Sphinx of the Labyrinth might have confused the two, so he said that he would give the Greek Sphinx a problem with the appearance of the Egyptian Sphinx.

I wanted to say something, but I refrained from speaking because I was afraid it would cause a strange problem.

[But if you don’t solve the problem, you will become like them.]

“They? What does that mean?”

[See for yourself.]

As the sphinx tapped the floor, the wall on the left became transparent.

“Aww!”

The girl who turned her head involuntarily screamed at her.

‘What, what!’

Beyond the transparent wall, wide-eyed people lined up like merchandise on a shelf.

All of them wore combat uniforms or robes, and it was clear that they were all capable of entering the labyrinth to attack the labyrinth.

[They are the slaves who will become the energy source of this labyrinth. After a while, it’s your face.]

“Bae, Lord of the White House!”

“Do not worry. I’ll get them all and take them.”

When she heard Baek Woojin’s calm voice, her worries and tensions melted away.

[The momentum is good.]

Saying so, the Sphinx rounded the corners of his mouth.

“I will do it first.”

[as you please.]

Baek Woojin came forward, and the Sphinx nodded his head.

[This is the first question. I have two sisters. Who are these sisters who give birth to each other?]

“Ah!”

Seo In-ah clapped her hands slightly. It seems very difficult, but it was a problem as it was passed down.

The Sphinx did not pose any strange problems, unlike his unfavorable gaze.“The answer is day and night.”

Baek Woojin answered the question as soon as he heard the question whether he knew it beforehand.

[This is the correct answer.]

The Sphinx nodded heavily and looked towards him.

[It’s your turn this time.]

“Yes.”

He looked into the sphinx’s eyes and clenched his fists. Looking at the first problem, I thought it would be easy to solve.

[The robber is pointing a knife at the neck of your mother and her husband. Which of the two will you save?]

“Yes?”

[You can do it another way. If your mother and her husband were drowning, who would you save?]

“Ah… .”

Seo In Aga opened her eyes. The second question raised by the Sphinx was neither a question of knowledge nor a question of concept.

To be honest, it was a compulsion issue.

‘In general, it is socially correct to seek parents rather than husbands. But there’s no way that’s the right answer.’

Biting her lip, she looked at the sphinx. She looked down at herself with a deep smirk on her lips.

‘It was on purpose, too!’

A monster with a human face was making fun of itself with an unsolvable problem.

‘There is no way there is an answer to a question like this!’

I felt the back of my back getting wet with cold sweat. She had no idea what to do.

“Ugh… .”

Seo-in looked back at her, trembling around her eyes. Baek Woojin was watching himself quietly.

‘It’s different than back then.’

It’s not a look of trust, like when operating a maze navigator. She’ll take care of everything on her own, so don’t worry and tell her the answer.

‘The burden is gone.’

Seeing Baek Woojin’s calm eyes, her pounding heart sank. The eyes of the Sphinx looking down right in front of her were no longer scary.

“There is no answer to this question!”

The Westin Aga straightened her back and stared at the Sphinx.

“And the sphinx that troubles is not an Egyptian sphinx, it’s a Greek sphinx! If you want to get a legend, you have to know it properly and bring it!”

She said everything she wanted to believe in the man behind her.

[…] Wrong answer.]

The sphinx’s eyes began to see viciousness.

[You are making fun of your snout. I don’t need a slave like you, so I’ll chew on it and swallow it!]

The sphinx opened its mouth wide. Goosebumps erupted from the saw-tooth teeth that sprouted from his mouth.

I was scared, but I didn’t scream or close my eyes. Once you believe, you have to believe until the end.

‘Because I said I would protect you.’

As he bit his molars and endured the Sphinx’s pressure, a familiar back appeared in front of his eyes.

“You spoke well. If you solve such a fucking problem, it looks like the Sphinx is senile.”

Baek Woojin looked back at himself and smiled.

[There is an answer. The direction I choose is the correct one. Even if it’s an unanswered question, it doesn’t matter. I am the owner of this labyrinth, and I am the one who makes the rules.]

The sphinx drew a livable smile and spread the force that pressed down the space.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The enormous pressure came down, and the air became extremely heavy.

[If you stop the execution of the ordeal, I will kill you too!]

“It’s a labyrinth, it’s an ordeal, and I’m tired of being patient.”

Baek Woojin drew Seolyoung’s sword and aimed it at the Sphinx.

“From now on, I am the rule.”

A black lightning bolt rose from his eyes and pierced the Sphinx.
