Labyrinth Exploration 101 Episode 233

Lonely(11)

Lee Si-ah browsed through various communities.

│Seol Ha-woon Touching the Sacred Tree│

SeolHawoonAndTree.gjf

Seol Ha-woon contemplating the wishes contained in the great tree. This famous scene naturally made it to the popular posts.

-Something sacred about it

-Seol Ha-woon never runs away, never turns back..

-This scene seems to show what kind of person Seol Ha-woon is.

-You’re absolutely right ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Fuck, so badass;

The comment reactions were good too.

│Pure Entertainment GOAT│

ImHaejun1.gjf ImHaejun2.gjf ImHaejun3.gjf….

There are tons of Im Hae-jun memes naturally generated from the Moon Phase Labyrinth. Dozens of crying memes, angry memes, and screaming memes.

─ hahahaha

─Honestly, without this kid I probably wouldn’t have seen Wolryeong Labyrinth lol

─ For real, they’re so good at ventilating..

─Their voice must be hoarse lololol

─Hahahaha

─Really, Hae-jun went through a lot too..

─I absolutely can’t watch scary stuff so I really empathize with Im Hae-jun’s feelings. And Seo Ji-woo’s pranks were too much.. honestly that could cause a heart attack if done wrong

└That’s what Im Hae-jun gets for being so sneaky, serves him right lol

Maybe because he played the comic relief role so well, public opinion was really good.

│Lee Jun-ho Who Paid for Stress Relief Room│

Pissed.GJF

Lee Jun-ho smashing up the shaman’s house. This was also quite a famous scene.

─Stress relief method lololol

─This is seriously so cringe lololol

─I was watching this and fucking lost it lmaooo they were going so hard at it

Lee Si-ah read all the popular posts too.

No, as soon as she finished reading, new ones would pop up immediately.

│The Crazy Chicken That Scored Again Today│

─Really seems like they’re pushing the Always Right Chicken concept with this

─Only shows up when it’s important, damn

─No but how much did they pay for advertising?

─Why does the chicken company have so much fucking money

─Really shows the importance of advance contracts.. Always Right Chicken sponsoring production costs and securing mid-roll ads in advance was truly a stroke of genius

“Whew….”

Lee Si-ah held her breath.

Now, the live broadcast resumes!

Thump!

The scenery of Imgak Mountain fills the screen as drum sounds echo.

Thump! Thoom! Thump! Thump!

It has a traditional music feel but with a much more sinister and intense sound.

The camera focuses on the shaman.

─Shaman: …Source of darkness, father of chaos who overturns the principles of all things. Awaken from the nameless abyss and cast your shadow upon this defiled land.

She spouts nonsense as if performing a ritual.

─Shaman: Eyes beneath the earth that never sleep. With the cries of starving demons, we herald your arrival.

Strange things begin writhing and forming beneath her feet.

─Shaman: We have prepared humble but sincere offerings, willingly presenting mortal flesh and the resentment dwelling within, along with hatred toward that arrogant one, so please accept and partake of them….

Disgusting creatures resembling worms or chunks of flesh swell up like mountains.

─Shaman: Come forth, master of black waves. Come and crush that foolish one’s throat in your grasp!

They open their maws and charge forward.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The drum sounds strike the speakers even more dramatically, and Lee Si-ah’s heart pounds along.

However.

─Seol Ha-woon: ….

Seol Ha-woon himself just stands there.

Calm and composed. Upright and noble.

Behind him, countless bullets rise up. Drawing blue trajectories, they fire.

Simultaneous fire!

Ratatatata──-!

The manifested bullets sever the tentacles’ spines, crush their heads, and pulverize their bodies.

The bullet barrage devours the monsters as it surges forward.

The difference in power is clear.

Seol Ha-woon is superior.

Fwooosh!

But just before the bullets reach the shaman, her body swells up like a tumor.

Fwsh fwsh fwsh fwsh!

The bullets disappear, buried in the dark red flesh.

-Oh;

-Ah that’s fucking disgusting, put a mosaic on it..

-Oh what the hell is that thing

-This one’s putting up some resistance

-Wait, Seol Ha-woon isn’t getting beaten is he?

-Stronger than Eldia at least

-Hahahaha if Seolhaun gets fucked it would be legendary

─Shaman: Hahahaha! Your arrogance shall be crushed like mud beneath his unholy feet!

While the shaman cackles madly, Seol Ha-woon’s expression flashes across the screen.

He’s smiling. What could be so pleasant, what could be so amusing.

─Seol Ha-woon: So you were merely a parasite’s host.

“Parasite?”

Seol Ha-woon seems to have figured out something the viewers don’t know.

─Shaman: …Destroy the boundary between living and dead, raise your army from rotting, festering flesh, surround him and surely gnaw away his hope.

Meanwhile, the shaman continues her insane ritual.

─Shaman: Sacred chaos, use this offering as a medium to unleash your power, forever subdue his arrogance in darkness…!

Abandoned Hospital

The screen switches in the middle of the intense battle.

It’s the abandoned hospital.

─Seo Ji-woo: Pull!

Seo Ji-woo and Im Hae-jun are trying to pull out a stake from the abandoned hospital together.

─Im Hae-jun: Graaah!

─Seo Ji-woo: Graaah!

Seo Ji-woo ties a rope to the stake, and the two combine their strength to pull it out.

Crack!

The stake rolls out, scattering dirt and dust.

─Seo Ji-woo: Whew.

─Im Hae-jun: What do we do now?

─Seo Ji-woo : What do you think? We need to go draw something else. Follow me.

Seo Ji-woo leaves first, and Im Hae-jun follows behind her.

─Seo Ji-woo : …Hm?

Then Seo Ji-woo looks at a certain cave on the mid-slope of the mountain.

─Im Hae-jun : Noona. Why?

─Seo Ji-woo : Wait a moment.

Seo Ji-woo rustles into the cave. Im Hae-jun stamps his feet outside as if scared.

─Im Hae-jun : Noona what are you doing! Why are you going in there!

─Seo Ji-woo : This is….

Seo Ji-woo discovers a chest at the end of the cave.

─Im Hae-jun : What are you doing! Come out!

When she opens it, yeop-jeon are piled up like a mountain inside!

-Wow Seo Ji-woo’s luck

-Fuck hahahaha this is Seo Jiwoo’s way of talking

-Ah.. I really want to call Seo Ji-woo over to enhance my items.

─Seo Ji-woo : Oooh….

─Im Hae-jun : Come out! Come out! Kyaaaaaaak!

Seo Ji-woo sweeps all the yeop-jeon into her arms.

─Im Hae-jun : Kyaaaaaaaaaaak!

Im Hae-jun convulses like someone with rabies.

─Im Hae-jun : Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!

─Seo Ji-woo : Ah okay, I’m going, going!

Imgak Mountain

Switching back to Imgak Mountain. Lee Si-ah’s eyes widened.

─Shaman : Hahahaha.

The ground beneath where the Shaman stands writhes.

Squirm squirm─ Squirm squirm─ Squirm squirm─ Squirm squirm─ Squirm squirm─ Squirm squirm─ Squirm squirm─ Squirm squirm─

Something terrible and hideous seems to be trying to rise from beneath the ground.

-This is fucking scary

-Can Seol Ha-woon really win?

-Trust Je Mal-ol..

-But the Shaman looks really strong

-Among all the villains so far, her combat power seems to be at the highest level?

The camera turns to Seol Ha-woon.

Crackle! Sparks fly from his walking stick, and magic power seeps into the ground.

The very next moment.

Boooooom───-!

The underground explodes with earthquake-like vibrations.

Kwaaaaa──-!

Rock fragments from the road surface and pieces of flesh are dragged out and rise into the air.

-Crazy did he bomb underground?

-Hahaha wow

-He flowed magic power underground and exploded it. Probably like a gas explosion? It seems Seol Ha-woon’s mental visualization can recreate any weapon.

-Damn, this formal conversation is pretty intense lol

-But that guy Seol Ha-woon didn’t move a single step;;

─Seol Ha-woon : Haah….

A deep breath. Soon magic power blooms around Seol Ha-woon.

This time… it’s beautiful.

Pure white crystals. They look like sparkling jewels.

His magic power condenses transparently, floating gently toward the flesh.

“Wow.”

Lee Si-ah’s eyes widened.

-Wow;; that’s really pretty what is that

-His skill at handling magic power has improved tremendously.. his growth speed is incredibly fast.

-The magic power quality seems really pure

The speed itself is slow. Floating gently, floating gently. Like cotton candy-shaped paper airplanes.

-But what the hell is that lol

-Does that have killing power?

-Hahahaha so true, it’s not like he made a mistake with his technique, right?

-so fucking slow lmaooooo

However, the moment those small, beautiful fragments touch the Shaman.

Shatter─!

With the sound of breaking glass, a pure white flash erupts. A blizzard-like flame instantly devours the Shaman’s flesh.

─Shaman : Hahahaha…?

The Shaman’s laughter also stops abruptly.

─Shaman : Keu, keuaaaak!

That composure turns into a scream mixed with pain.

─Shaman : Keuaaaak! You, you bastard! You bastaaard──!

The moment the Shaman spits out a curse, the atmosphere changes rapidly. The flesh swells grotesquely while simultaneously melting.

Squish squish─ Squish squish─

The sound of flesh multiplying from flesh. More flesh sprouts from the melting flesh.

Squish squish─ Squish squish─

“What, what is that.”

Ominous. Even the viewer can tell what that thing is trying to do.

Self-destruction.

Squish squish─ Squish squish─

The flesh multiplies infinitely, trying to burst like a balloon, but.

─Seol Ha-woon : ….

Seol Ha-woon calmly watches it. Without being scared at all, without fear, facing it directly.

-That guy’s attitude is fucking insane lol

-Wow shit he’s really maintaining his composure even in that situation

-Hahahaha it’s like they really became one with the character

-No that’s just his personality at this point, not just composure

-If you maintain composure to that degree it’s art, and just fucking cool

Just then!

Clatter clatter clatter───!

Some figure comes rushing from the mountain peak.

A swordsman gripping a sword, leaping high and rapidly descending.

─Lee Jun-ho : Hup───-!

A rough battle cry echoes through the mountains. The magic power contained in his sword reflects the darkness chaotically.

It’s sword force!

-??

-Wow

-?

-Wow

-Wow

-Waaah haha

-Crazy

-Shit Lee Jun-ho appears

-Crazy lol

-Legend entrance scene

-For real, damn fast

-Hahahaha wow

-God Jun-ho

-That’s Sword Force, right?

-No way, Sword Force at that age, life is fucking so unfair

Pazzzuk!

The shaman’s skin splits apart, and the extremely swollen flesh scatters.

It shrivels up instantly like a deflated balloon.

─Lee Jun-ho: Whew!

Thud. Lee Jun-ho lands next to Seol Ha-woon, smiling with his eyes while shouldering his long sword.

─Seol Ha-woon: ….

Seol Ha-woon doesn’t say anything in particular. Instead, the corners of his mouth subtly lift up. Lee Jun-ho also nods and lets out a deep breath.

A silent conversation.

The scene of them looking at each other fills the entire screen.

The magic power still burning white serves as lighting illuminating them both, and the giant trees of Imgak Mountain provide the perfect backdrop.

A soundtrack that perfectly suits this scene also plays.

-Wow shit, two handsome guys making a picture..

-Crazy, so fucking cool

-Fuck~ life~ so fucking jealous~

-Both their proportions are insane… is this real?

-Make this into a Wolryeong Village episode poster lol

-Re-edit it as a movie and re-release it, fuck, couldn’t watch it properly because of the mid-roll ads

-For real, remove all the mid-roll ads and re-release it all connected, shit

Squirm. Squirm.

Then, something wriggles. A small dark red worm-like thing, resembling burnt flesh.

Seol Ha-woon’s gaze follows it,

Thunk!

He strikes it down with his walking stick.

─Shaman: Kuh, kuhep…!

At the same time, the shaman lets out a groan.

She’s still alive. Moreover, her wounds are healing.

Lee Jun-ho furrowed his brow.

─Lee Jun-ho: …Tough. Should I kill her?

─Seol Ha-woon: No. The Sacred Tree is keeping her alive.

─Lee Jun-ho: …What? Why?

Seol Ha-woon looks at the Sacred Tree and answers.

─Seol Ha-woon: Because the end should be left to the people of this village.

Hihehehehehehe

Just then, the dokkaebi fire friend reappears. As the dokkaebi fire touches near the Sacred Tree, the leaves emit a gentle purple light.

It’s a fantastic scene.

─Lee Jun-ho: Hyung. But who is that?

Lee Jun-ho asks Seol Ha-woon.

-But she really thinks Seolhaun knows everything lol

-Asks him about everything he doesn’t know

-Hahaha even Seolhaun probably doesn’t know some things

-Jemalism is already a religion lol

-Stop talking bullshit

-Ugh these mantises are being so fucking annoying lol

By the way, “mantis” is a derogatory term antis use for caterpillars. Since fans actually like caterpillars and find them cute, they suddenly downgraded them to mantises.

─Seol Ha-woon: I told you before.

At some point, words that Seol Ha-woon said in this main story are quietly replayed.

‘Too shallow in resentment to be called a vengeful spirit, yet lacking a proper form to be called a soul.’

─Seol Ha-woon: A child who isn’t even a vengeful spirit, yet couldn’t even become a soul.

-Whoa

-No way

-There’s exactly one

-No way;;

-Ah, I’m about to cry, shit

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

─Lee Jun-ho: …So-yeon.

Seol Ha-woon nods. Lee Jun-ho smiles as if both sad and happy.

-Whoa hahaha

-Seol Ha-woon really knows everything

-Just seems like his magical talent and intuition are overall excellent

-Unlike his appearance, he’s a real study bug.

Seol Ha-woon is a famous studious person. He doesn’t revere theory, but rather pursues it.

A pure mage who seems more like a practical battle mage than anyone else, yet bases everything on theory more than anyone.

This kind of character trait really doesn’t exist anywhere else.
