Episode 44
“How about it, can you do it?”
Watching the Hunters enter the Gate.
Choi Hyun-min whispered quietly to the Block Toys.
-Of course. As long as Master keeps ‘that promise’.
-Hmm, defeating monsters is our very mission, isn’t it? If Master just gives us ‘that thing’….
-Ha! For me, it’s a piece of cake.
The guys who always responded boldly to his question.
Never before had the Block Toys looked so reliable.
“This time, instead of entering the maze, we’ll move through that Gate that appeared over there.”
The purple Gate visible beyond the window.
When he pointed in that direction with his finger, Hans nodded.
-I already know from hearing Master’s words. That much is…. easy.
-We must go, send us quickly!
-Woo! Woo! We’ll go and come back before ‘that thing’ gets cold!
What kind of promise had they made?
The Cavalry Soldiers with eyes turned bright red, tugging at their horses’ reins.
“Good. Then…. let’s depart.”
-Let’s go!!!
-Wait, I’ll go first!
The moment Choi Hyun-min’s signal dropped.
The guys charging forward like sports cars at lightning speed.
As soon as their bodies touched the maze-shaped toy, they disappeared like a mirage.
Twenty-one Cavalry Soldiers who vanished in an instant.
The last one remaining was the barbarian warrior Dehof.
-I don’t know why those guys are so excited…. but I’ll also be back soon.
“Take care.”
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Perhaps because he was the only one without a horse.
The desk shook lightly from his heavy footsteps.
-Just how delicious must that food be for them to go wild like that….
Dehof muttering in a barely audible voice.
When his large back was swallowed by the maze-shaped toy and disappeared.
Only then did the status board reveal itself before his eyes.
‘A maze….’
Choi Hyun-min kept his mouth tightly shut and slowly watched the status board.
Indeed, the ability of an SSS-rank Transcendent Lord was different.
The scenes being filmed outside with dozens of drones and cameras mobilized.
Choi Hyun-min could examine them in detail with just the Transcendent Lord’s ability.
‘For now, I think I can perfectly understand the maze’s structure itself.’
Would it look like this if one looked down from above the very center of the maze?
It looked as if a pathfinding picture book had been spread out right in front of him.
Flash! Flash!
Meanwhile, the Cavalry Soldiers appearing one by one inside the Gate.
‘They’re in!’
Was this also the system’s interference?
While most Hunters started from the 12 o’clock direction.
Choi Hyun-min’s Cavalry Soldiers appeared in the exact opposite—
That is, from the 6 o’clock direction.
-It’s a maze, a maze!
-The entrance is over there for now, let’s go that way!
-I’ll follow Hans for now too!
-Oh, wait! Take me along too!
The guys who rushed in all together.
As soon as they entered the maze, they froze solid before the massive wall that greeted them.
-Uh…. the path splits three ways….
-Which way should we go?
-I’ve never seen such a path in my life, and I don’t see any other humans either.
-This is trouble…. I don’t see any traces at all….
Like the Hunters at the 12 o’clock direction.
Were the guys also confused by the maze?
They just turned their heads left and right, wandering about.
-Ma, Master…. which way should we go?
Hans, who had been standing there with a blank expression for a while.
He asked while slightly lifting his head.
“Wa, wait a moment. I’m not sure about the path either….”
Usually, for a small maze, one could find the path in reverse order.
After all, unlike them, Choi Hyun-min was looking at the entire structure of the maze.
He just needed to connect lines backwards to the entrance.
In normal cases.
But this case was a bit different.
‘Why is this so huge?!’
It was so massive and complex that even when he traced the path with his hand.
He would quickly forget the path he had taken before.
-Master…. we can’t return home….
-Are we lost…?
-Lo, lost?
The Cavalry Soldiers fell into confusion.
And as soon as Dehof heard the word “lost,” tears began to well up in his eyes.
Seeing that, Choi Hyun-min’s heart grew urgent.
‘Wait a moment. This…. would the Radar Mode skill work here too?’
The EX-rank skill that allowed him to see the invisible.
He repeated the name of Radar Mode in his mind.
And when he gazed at the maze on the status board again—
[Skill: Radar Mode is activated.]
“Oh?!”
He could see it!
The maze that was just gray walls twisted together to others.
Golden solid lines began to appear over it.
‘Let me see, this is…. Right! The path marked in gold is the correct answer!’
Choi Hyun-min quickly examined the path with his eyes.
The moment he was certain that the path Radar Mode showed him was the correct answer.
He immediately commanded as if shouting.
“You guys, can you hear me!”
-We can hear you, Master.
-Our heads and eyes might be strange, but our ears seem fine….
-Sorry…. I can’t find the path….
“I found the path.”
The guys immediately shut their mouths at Choi Hyun-min’s words.
The faces of the guys who had been frozen for a moment brightened up.
-Th, then can we eat that thing?
-Te, tell us, Master!
-We’re ready to charge right now!
Neigh!
The guys pulling at their reins with eyes full of anticipation.
Dehof also stomped his feet, ready to follow them.
“From now on, just go in the direction I tell you. Got it?”
-Got it, Master!
“First… go left!”
-Master says go left!
-Left, left!
-Run, run!!!
Thud thud thud!
The cavalry soldiers charged forward as soon as his first order was given.
As if they had never hesitated, they began riding their horses like madmen.
“Next is right!”
-He says right!
-Turn direction immediately!
-We have no brains! We go where Master tells us to go!
Even at the sharp corner that turned at a right angle, their horsemanship was artistic.
“Here, lef… no, right again!”
Even with his slip of the tongue, they turned direction brilliantly like racers.
Whoosh!
Dust clouds rising hazily.
Choi Hyun-min’s commands and the Block Toys’ execution ability.
The chemistry between the two could truly be called the best.
Just moments ago they had been standing dumbfounded in front of the barrier.
In an instant, the guys broke through half of the maze.
“Damn it… what kind of bastard planned this kind of raid?!”
“How are we supposed to finish this in an hour and a half!”
“We won’t even get to see the boss monster’s face…”
“Screw it, I give up, I give up!”
Meanwhile, the countless Hunters who had entered before the Block Toys.
Half of them were wandering around lost at the entrance.
The other half had half-given up and were trudging along.
‘At this rate… we can target the troll first before the other Hunters arrive!’
“Run down the middle path from here, then turn left as soon as you see the corner!”
-Got it, Master!
-It’s gotten easier since we stopped thinking, Master!
-It’s a bit tough, but I’ll catch up soon too!
The reason it takes time to conquer a maze is simply because you don’t know the way,
but the moment a definite answer key is given, from then on it’s no different from an ordinary path.
Moreover, the Block Toys had horses they could gallop on.
For them, the inside of the Gate was no different from a vast plain.
-We’re running!
-There! I see something straight ahead!
How long had they been running?
The cavalry soldiers began to see the form of a giant troll.
A massive height that seemed to be 4 or 5 meters.
An appearance as if its entire body had been sewn and patched up like rags.
It was the king of trolls, the Brutal Chief Troll.
Grooooar!
Had it spotted the cavalry soldiers?
The creature’s pitch-black body slowly rotated toward them.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
At the same time, the creature raised the wooden club it was holding high.
Though its movements were certainly clumsy beyond measure,
Choi Hyun-min instinctively knew.
If they got hit by that… they absolutely could not survive.
“Scatter!”
At his order, the cavalry soldiers scattered in all directions like spilled marbles.
By a hair’s breadth, the giant club fell from the sky.
Crash!
A single blow that shattered the ground.
It was clearly just a piece of wood, nothing special.
But was the force so strong?
The maze floor was dented by the troll’s powerful strike.
Grooar?
The troll tilted its head at the failed attack.
The creature turned its body toward the next target.
The creature rotating slowly like heavy equipment.
The moment he saw that sight, Choi Hyun-min’s eyes flashed.
“Now! Aim for its back!”
-Got it!
Though he had little practical experience as a Hunter,
Choi Hyun-min had studied and worked hard countless times.
He immediately noticed the creature’s weakness.
‘Rotation. The speed at which it turns its body is remarkably slow.’
There was nothing better about their side in terms of strength or durability,
but the one thing they were superior in was mobility.
Now that he had figured it out, all that remained was to utilize it 200%.
-The back! We only target the back!
-I’ll go first! You guys follow behind me and slash!
Hans was the first to spur his horse.
Like lightning, he rushed to arrive behind the troll’s back and immediately-
Slash!
He swept his spear horizontally across.
Groooogh!
With a chilling metallic sound, the black skin tore horizontally.
At the same time, pitch-black blood gushed out like a fountain from within.
“It worked!”
But that was only for a moment.
Indeed, the name King of Trolls wasn’t just for show.
Before he could even count to five on his fingers, the torn flesh stuck back together.
‘Already… the wound has healed?!’
If it had been another monster, its life would have been taken with one blow.
It truly had amazing regenerative power.
Clatter. Clatter.
-Next is my turn!
Meanwhile, another cavalry soldier approached from behind.
The creature’s spear moved precisely toward the area that Hans had cut.
Slash!
The wound split open horizontally once again.
This time it was slightly deeper than before.
But this time was the same as well.
Before long, the skin stuck together like magnets.
‘Definitely… fast. It has the vitality befitting a boss. However…’
Despite the terrifying regeneration ability, Choi Hyun-min actually saw hope.
“Target only that spot where Hans first cut! There’s no need to hit anywhere else!”
-I’ll do as Master says!
Slash!
When the troll tried to turn its body around, they approached from behind and cut it.
Swoosh!
When it twisted its body again to find the enemy that had struck it, they approached from behind,
Slash!
The twenty-one cavalry soldiers relentlessly cut and cut again at the same spot.
Each time, the wound grew deeper.
The recovery speed also began to slow down dramatically.
‘Still… not yet? It definitely seems like we’re dealing damage…’
The damage was certainly accumulating.
But a decisive blow.
A decisive strike was lacking.
And around that time.
-Huff, huff, huff… I, I have arrived!
Here it comes! The decisive strike!
Dehof, who had fallen far behind, unable to keep up with the cavalry’s mobility.
The massive barbarian warrior was clutching his knees, panting heavily.
“Dehof! Can you hear me?”
-I, I can hear you. Though I’m not sure where you’re speaking from…
“Do you see that troll over there? The other guys have made a wound on its back.”
-Where… Ah, you mean that long cut around the waist area?
“That’s right. You just need to focus your attack there. Can you do it?”
Without a horse.
Wasn’t this too much to ask of Dehof, who had no weapon?
However, the guy nodded heavily as if it were nothing.
-That’s… no big deal.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Slowly, one step at a time.
Dehof walked toward the troll that had its back turned.
Thump. Thump thump. Thump thump thump thump thump.
His footsteps began to quicken as if taking a running start-
-Haah!
With a resounding battle cry, he grabbed the wounded area with both hands.
Grrrr?
The troll finally noticed Dehof’s approach.
Sensing something strange, the creature turned its head backward.
At that moment.
-Uraaahhhhh!!!
Dehof, who was hanging on.
He tore the open wound apart left and right.
“It’s… done…!”
[You have successfully hunted a special entity for the first time!]
Black blood spurted up like a fountain.
Along with it, a notification message appeared.
Finally…!
Did we finally catch it?!
Choi Hyun-min, who was watching the display board.
He jumped up from his seat and shouted.
No, he almost shouted.
Until he saw the messages that poured out next.
[You have cleared the Anomalous Dimension XII Raid for the first time, rewards will be given.]
[You have cleared the Anomalous Dimension XII Raid solo, rewards will be given.]
[You have hunted a special entity for the first time, rewards will be given.]
[You have hunted a special entity solo, rewards will be given.]
[Additionally, due to exclusive determination, bonus rewards will be given only to you among the participants.]
…
‘Are… are you insane?!’
