Labyrinth Exploration 101 Episode 158
Eight(2)
Lee Si-ah was nervous.
She had steeled herself.
Today was the day of the final battle. Some snow removal teams, no, quite a lot of snow removal teams seemed to have almost given up on this episode. Many people said they would turn off the live broadcast and time travel for just 3 hours.
Lee Si-ah planned to watch directly with her own two eyes.
Whether Seol Ha-woon would truly be eliminated, or whether he would screw over the humans who expected his elimination.
[ Day 1 ]
[ Base : Kate ]
The live broadcast showed Kate’s base. A well-built fortress where explorers were gathering one after another. Not only Ryu Yeon-hwa and Kang Hyeon, but 4-5 more offenders entered the base.
─Ryu Yeon-hwa : Well built.
─Lee Sin-hye : Indeed. It’s reliable.
─Kang Hyeon : There are many civilians too.
The castle walls were solid, and mercenaries stood guard on the watchtowers, keeping night watch.
If there was a problem, it was indeed the number of civilians.
-Kate is taking good care of civilians too
-She has to manage her image
-Really, Kate has shown so many unexpected sides in this labyrinth.. Such precious screen time..
-Kate. I too. Have worked under such a boss before. Every day spent with her. Was happy. Whenever I see Kate. I think of her. Those. Beautiful days.
-Is the person above a foreigner? Just type in English, why force a Korean translation? Even sounds like total nonsense
-Seems like an elderly person. I heard people in their 50s-60s watch Mitamnan often these days
-Then sorry
[ Base : Ryu Wei ]
Switch to the next base.
It was Ryu Wei with an S-rank Necromancer. The offender party that came to this place was Lee Jong-soo and Kim Dong-ha.
─Lee Jong-soo : Oh~ You built the base well?
─Kim Dong-ha : Right. Can we stay here for a while?
-Why are these guys always a combo?
-Muscle brain duo lol
-Lololol ah these guys crack me up every time I see them.
Lee Si-ah laughed too.
Lee Jong-soo and Kim Dong-ha. Tall and handsome elite warriors. They had great physiques, but their actions and behaviors were slightly stupid, so their nickname was Gag Concert.
Lee Jong-soo was “Gag,” Kim Dong-ha was “Concert.”
Their characteristic was that both were more popular with men than women.
─Ryu Wei : Of course. Follow me. I’ll introduce you.
Ryu Wei proudly introduced his base,
And the camera moved to Kim Woo-hyeon’s base.
[ Base : Kim Woo-hyeon ]
Having built plenty of turrets on the castle walls, he proudly wiped his sweat.
─Ji Woon-yul : Oh~ Kim Woo-hyeon~
─Jin Ho-jong : Woo-hyeon~ Dude, you built it well~?
─Kim Woo-hyeon : Oh hyungs!
Offenders gradually joined, and quick cross-editing followed.
[ Base : Yoon Hwa-rim ]
─Yoon Hwa-rim : Ji-woo. I feel reassured now that you’re here.
Yoon Hwa-rim and Seo Ji-woo. The two sat side by side sharing dumplings.
─Seo Ji-woo : But I’m an offender so I have to leave soon.
─Yoon Hwa-rim : Leave a bit later. Just watch until the first wave.
Seo Ji-woo’s lines surrounded the base’s castle walls in a grid pattern, looking reliable at first glance.
As the day grew dark…
[ 1st Wave ]
Huge subtitles announcing the wave.
What was the next segment?
[ Base : Seol Ha-woon ]
Finally, Seol Ha-woon!
-Really curious about this guy the most
-If he survives this time too, I’ll acknowledge him
-Who are you to acknowledge him
-Pure entertainment GOAT Ha-woon ham
Seol Ha-woon, standing on the castle wall, gazed at the enemies flickering beyond the horizon.
Boom─boom─boom─boom!
Ominous drum sounds echoed.
─Seol Village Soldier : They’re coming!
Magical beasts surged from the ground. Even just looking at the screen, their appearance was too gory. Eyes, nose, mouth, arms and legs were all distorted.
─Seol Village Soldier : Fire!
Swooooosh!
The archers on the castle walls shoot arrows, but the magical beasts advance while taking the arrow hits.
-Civilians are really useless;
-Seems like he’s forcing himself to use them
-With Ha-woon’s personality, wouldn’t he abandon civilians?
-He would’ve abandoned them in real combat. But since it’s a broadcast, he’s not abandoning them
While everyone judges Seol Ha-woon as they please, Akiman and Smeshion sortie.
Akiman swings his sword, and Smeshion fires heavy weapons from his exoskeleton. The magical beasts melt away.
-They’re really S-rank
-lololol the contrast with Min Seokjae is fucking insane
─Seol Village Soldier : Fire!
Following the adjutant’s signal, Seol Village archers and the Scarecrow launch arrows.
And then….
Blue dots appear behind the castle wall. An uncountable number.
It’s coming.
Seol Ha-woon’s formula.
-Simultaneous Fire~~~
-Shoot!!
-Shoot!!!!!!!
-Shoot~~~!!!
The chats that have now become memes appear, and as if responding to expectations.
Kwaaaaaaaaa─-!
Countless bullets pour down. The magical beasts are swept away by the firepower rushing like a downpour. As if being ground up in a blender.
-Ahh that’s refreshing as fuck hahahaha
-Defense is invincible I’m telling you lololol
-Is this guy really getting eliminated?
-Mental Visualization is really fucking cool.. How is a mage’s Mental Visualization the battlefield itself?
-Yeah it’s already been spoiled~ Even like that he gets eliminated~
-Look at these bastards enjoying it lol
At that moment, Seol Ha-woon looks up at the void. Something is floating in the sky.
Aerial mobs!
“Huk.”
[ Base : Yoon Hwa-rim’s Base ]
Scene transition.
The aerial magical beasts unleash bombardments like energy waves.
Kwaaaaah!
─Yoon Hwa-rim : Aaah! I-intercept those first!
Following Yoon Hwa-rim’s orders, the mercenaries also attack the sky, but most don’t reach. Only Seo Ji-woo’s lines successfully hook the aerial mobs and drag them down.
The problem is speed.
While they’re distracted by the aerial mobs.
Kuuuuung-!
Part of the castle wall crumbles and the scene changes.
[ Base : Ryu Wei ]
─Mercenary : I-it’s collapsing!
It’s Ryu Wei’s base. Ryu Wei can’t respond to the aerial mobs at all.
─Ryu Wei : Sirian!
─Sirian : Oh no. There’s nothing I can do about this.
─Ryu Wei : What? P-please do something!
Sirian is a Necromancer. He can command about a thousand Skeleton Soldiers.
But they’re all melee soldiers.
─Sirian : Ah… I’d have to dismantle all the melee soldiers and remake them.
─Ryu Wei : Then please do it!
─Sirian : That would take way too long. Didn’t you say sometime that I just need to make them strong, strong? I don’t want to exhaust myself any further either. Just run away. There are other people besides you anyway. Goodbye!
Suddenly a Skeleton Soldier approaches, picks up Sirian and runs away, while Ryu Wei stares at him with vacant eyes.
-Oh shit lololol
-What the hell is that guy lol
-Hahahaha that thing is S-rank?
─Ryu Wei : …beep beep beep beep.
The moment the castle wall collapsed, Mage Ryu Wei’s last words were censored with beeps.
─Ryu Wei : Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep!! Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep!!!
He seemed very angry.
[ Base : Kate ]
Pajijik!
Sparks bursting in her grip. A long spear blazing to life.
It’s Kate.
From atop the watchtower, she personally faces the aerial mobs together with S-rank mercenary Kellinik, while Min Seok-jae does his part on the ground.
-Kiyah~ Look how solid that base is~~
-Kate is all about that soup and rice lol
-No, pasta lol
-ㅋㅋ Since it’s America, hamburgers
-It supports you like a hearty hamburger, but turns out it’s actually a handmade burger lol
Kate’s fans were excited.
This is getting annoying for no reason.
─Kate : Gasp!
Kate threw cold weapons from long range and incinerated the aerial mobs, but she couldn’t block all the damage.
Part of the castle wall cracked, and one food storage was destroyed in the magical beasts’ air raid.
-Ah, that food loss is huge.
-Fuck, those aerial mobs have damn good aim
“When is Seol Ha-woon coming out.”
Why is there so little screen time. Don’t tell me they really cut it down on purpose because he’s eliminated.
[Base : Seol Ha-woon ]
Making the worry pointless, Seol Ha-woon’s base.
─Seol Village Soldier : Royal Inspector! There are some in the air too!
At the soldier’s cry, Seol Ha-woon takes a step forward. There’s no agitation or anxiety in him.
─Seol Ha-woon : I’ll handle them.
-Always calm and composed
-Agreed
-Just when he appears, there’s something that makes you feel stable
-Agreed, that’s why it’s harder to believe he gets eliminated
“Fuck, who keeps saying elimination.”
Anyway, Seol Ha-woon glares at them. His long hair floats up in blue, and then wooden arrows on the castle wall rise.
Telekinesis technique. The surface of the arrows glows with a deep blue color.
Seol Ha-woon’s pupils move sharply, as if calculating interception trajectories.
Soon.
Tssssssst──-!
Arrows cut across the sky. At such ultra-high speed that eyes can’t even dare to follow.
Dozens of straight lines track and pierce through enemies like guided missiles, and their trajectories remain as afterimages in the air for a long time.
The camera captures the fantastical scene carved into the night sky in a wide shot.
-Wow
-Wow
-Wow
-Wow shit lol
-Just so flashy..
-Seems like the best visual experience of all time
-It’s like guided missiles lolololol
-lolololol
-Really, watching Seol Ha-woon is fucking amazing
-The formula completion level is just insane.. I can feel some kind of wall.
-To reach that level in less than a year, he really has mage talent
Lee Si-ah also clenched her fists tightly.
Please, just don’t get eliminated.
─Im Hae-jun : Huh? Over there!
It’s Im Hae-jun again.
Having left for the eastern region long ago, he still hasn’t reached any base and is walking through a swamp.
─Im Hae-jun : It’s the enemies’ crystal.
Even in the midst of this, he discovers a crystal.
His eyes are really sharp.
─Kim Yong-tae : …Yes. It does look like it.
─Im Hae-jun : Let’s break it. Please break it quickly.
Kim Yong-tae picked up his sword.
-Not “I’ll break it” but “please break it” what’s that lolololol
-That mercenary is really kind. If it were me, I’d smack the back of his head and immediately usurp command
-Hae-jun..
-At this point it’s really pitiful, of course for the mercenary
Clang!
Kim Yong-tae’s sword shatters the crystal.
─Kim Dong-ha : Aaaaah! Fuck!!
─Lee Jong-soo : Woooooh! Kuuuuuh!
Kim Dong-ha and Lee Jong-soo. A dog and cone running away in panic.
“Puhup.”
Ah, why is it funny just looking at their faces.
─Lee Jong-soo : Mercenaries, let’s go to the base!
─Mercenary : There’s nowhere to go.
─Lee Jong-soo : What?
Lee Jong-soo looks up at Ryu Wei’s base. It’s burning.
─Lee Jong-soo : What, couldn’t even last a day? Ryu Wei even had S-rank mercenaries, why did it suddenly collapse?
─Mercenary : …S-ranks originally choose their clients selectively. No matter how much you pay in fees, if it doesn’t suit their taste, they won’t obey orders.
-Agreed
-Looking at how Kate struggled too
-Right-wing was lucky
-Then that means elimination lol
-lololol how do you know it’s elimination?
-Please refrain from spoilers
─Lee Jong-soo : For now, let’s go to Yoon Hwa-rim!
They first run to Yoon Hwa-rim’s base,
Swoooosh!
A sword slicing through the magical beast’s hide. It’s Lee Jun-ho.
-Kill Jun-ho
-3 Jun-ho lol
-At this rate, even the horse will surpass him
He kills all the magical beasts alone, destroys three or four crystals, then heads to Kim Woo-hyeon’s base.
─Kim Woo-hyeon: Jun-ho hyung!
Kim Woo-hyeon runs over barefoot, but the base’s condition isn’t good.
More than half the auto turrets are destroyed, and the castle wall has gaps.
-Wow, this looks really intense?
-Aerial mobs from day one is honestly cheating lol
─Lee Jun-ho: What’s that over there?
Lee Jun-ho pointed at the civilians.
─Kim Woo-hyeon: They just came while I was building the base? They set up tents on their own.
─Lee Jun-ho: …Hmm. Why does that kid keep staring?
A child staring intently at Lee Jun-ho eating dumplings. Lee Jun-ho eventually throws an entire food package, and the civilians bow their heads in gratitude.
-He’s kind
-Junho is so sweet ㅠㅠ
-That martial arts uniform really suits him
-Even just watching fancam videos, Lee Jun-ho smiles the most.. He looks like such a brat but his smile is so bright
-His family situation was really tough too. Honestly rooting for him.
-Stop the excessive praise;;
─Kim Woo-hyeon: Hyung, then I… could I get some food supplies…?
─Lee Jun-ho: I came here to give you that in the first place.
When Lee Jun-ho rolls the orb, it becomes half a sack of rice. Amazing.
─Lee Jun-ho: If possible, send those people somewhere else.
─Kim Woo-hyeon: Where?
─Lee Jun-ho: Kate.
Dong—dong—dong—dong—
The bell rang again.
─Lee Jun-ho: Since I’m here, I’ll help.
─Kim Woo-hyeon: I’m fine with that, but hyung, is your fatigue okay?
-Those two have a surprisingly strong bond lol
-Similar to Seol Ha-woon and Im Hae-jun but also different
-Im Hae-jun honestly just clings to Seol Ha-woon, but these two help each other.
-Seol Ha-woon doesn’t seem to treat Im Hae-jun like a person
-Im Hae-jun is kind of like a pet
[ 2nd Wave ]
The 2nd wave begins.
All kinds of magical beasts surge endlessly. The struggling bases are shown in cross-edited scenes.
─Yoon Hwa-rim: Ugh, this is really driving me crazy!
─Kate: …Everyone, stay strong.
─Jo Woon: I will move one more step forward.
But in this roughly 10-minute segment, Seol Ha-woon’s base isn’t shown.
Why. Why aren’t they showing Seol Ha-woon?
[ Base: Yoon Hwa-rim ]
Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeek───-!
─Yoon Hwa-rim: You damn bastards!
After the 2nd wave ends, a lull.
Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeek───-!
Yoon Hwa-rim: Stop making that barking noise!
Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeek───-!
Yoon Hwa-rim: Shut your mouth!!!!!!!!!!! You damn bastard!!!!!!!!
-No way, this is comedy lol
-lololololol
-Yoon Hwa-rim is kind of likable these days lol
After the argument with the magical beast ends.
─Lee Jong-soo: Ah, hi. We need to recover our fatigue. Do you have something like a bed…?
Lee Jong-soo comes looking.
─Yoon Hwa-rim: Yeah. But, could you give us some food supplies or something? Our mercenaries need to eat.
─Kim Dong-ha: Uh. We have some. Want to trade for loot?
─Yoon Hwa-rim: …What? What are you talking about?
Conflict breaks out even within the base. It’s about food supplies and loot.
─Yoon Hwa-rim: You guys have to rest at our base anyway.
─Kim Dong-ha: That’s true, but we almost died too?
─Yoon Hwa-rim: No… Hey! This is teamwork!
It’s the difference in perspective between Defense and Offense.
-Yoon Hwa-rim is right
-Anyone would think only the Defense Team is suffering
-Offense is suffering like hell too
-No, Defense is obviously suffering way more lol
The chat window flares up and then quickly dies down.
Because the condition of other bases is much worse than this.
Except for Kate, most of them feel like more than half are broken on just the second day.
-Hey, can this even be cleared??
-I think they messed up the difficulty setting.
Just then.
─Im Hae-jun: Huff… haah…
Im Hae-jun, who’s half-dead, appears and lightens the mood.
-lol
-lololol this is ridiculous
-Ah this bastard is still walking lololol
-Fuck is he a travel YouTuber or what
-Hae-jun bottle lololololol
-lololol what did the mercenaries do wrong lol
Blazing. Blazing. Under the scorching sun in the jungle, Im Hae-jun’s group keeps going in circles in the same place as if they’ve fallen into some kind of trap.
─Kim Yong-tae: …The base is to the west. There are many to the west… to the west…
Kim Yong-tae and the other mercenaries mutter like they’ve lost their minds before collapsing,
─Im Hae-jun: My… strategy… is correct…
Then Im Hae-jun also collapses to the ground.
-Wow this bastard retires like this? He’s really crazy.
-Oh so he retires like this, and Seol Ha-woon gets eliminated with 0 Offenders.
-Ah right, the puzzle pieces are fitting together fuck
-lololol so he gets eliminated because no Offenders can come at all lololol
Lee Si-ah was also thinking “No way, is that really it?!” when.
Step.
Small footsteps approach them, and the camera pans up.
─Herbalist Hyeon Dan: What are these people?
Hyeon Dan. Who was that again. Lee Si-ah quickly searched her memory.
…Ah!
The herbalist from Seol Ha-woon’s Village!
