Regression Life Starting With Two Traits

Chapter 026 The Labyrinth of the Minotaur (2)

“Seo, Seo-joon hyung! It’s a Minotaur!”

Just as he stabbed an orc through the heart, he heard Hyuk’s voice.

When I turned my head, I saw a huge Minotaur swinging an ax horizontally.

It was aimed at Hyuk, Gilliant, and Minyoung.

“Gilliant! Protect the two of you somehow!”

I shouted because I thought it would be too late to run now, even if it was Hermes’ shoes.

But, was the worry unfounded?

Hyuk took Min-yeong and skillfully avoided the axe, and Gillian created a shield with magic to block it.

[Don’t worry here, deal with the orcs first.]

‘okay.’

Along with Hyuk’s growth, Minyoung’s training so far seems to have made her more nimble, so I was proud of it.

At the same time, I was also worried.

My heart was in a hurry.

“Su-yeon, I think I will have to use a wide area skill. You joined over there and helped!”

“Would you be okay alone?”

I smiled at Soo-yeon’s question about decapitating an orc with a dagger.

“I haven’t used the powers of an elementalist because of the new technology these days, so you haven’t forgotten it, have you?”

Suyeon looked around at my question and said with a smile.

“Well, you’ve already lost a lot. Quickly tidy up and stick. I took a quick look, but the Minotaur doesn’t have many weaknesses. There is a limit to what you can endure.”

“okay.”

Suyeon said that and reduced the number of orcs on the way.

After Suyeon dodged in range, I immediately started using the elements.

First of all, the elements of earth and water were used to make the surrounding land muddy.

Chwireuk?

Then, the orcs who suddenly lost their balance began to panic. The guys fell into the land that had changed like a tidal flat before they knew it and began to struggle.

Immediately, using the elements of wind and fire, he created a whirlpool of fire in its place.

Roaring!

Originally, it was difficult to use such a wide range of magic.

However, with the help of Gilliant, the concept of a circle was created and mana could be controlled.

Then the maximum amount of mana increased and it became easier to use elements more efficiently.

Even so, the reason why he didn’t use elemental magic well was because he tried to learn the skills that he could get as a link master.

If you run out of mana at the crucial moment, you have to use the Link Master skill.

When the whirlwind of fire was over, all that remained were the charred corpses of the orcs and the Awakening Stones they had dropped.

Ummmeo!

The cry of an enormous bull echoed along the walls of the labyrinth.

He seemed excited because he kept getting his ax stuck in Gilliant’s defense magic.

In addition, there were cuts from Soo-yeon’s dagger all over his muscular body.

Su-yeon’s dagger was poisonous, so the poison probably drove her crazy.

“You held up well. Soo-yeon, tell me your weakness.”

Su-yeon, who had just rolled on the ground avoiding the Minotaur’s kicks, told me about the Minotaur’s weakness.

“The skin is thicker than expected, so the venom is only applied on the outside, but it doesn’t seem to be able to penetrate the inside. Relatively weak spots are around the neck, eyes, and Achilles tendon.”

“okay. Keep it in check!”

“brother! The bow is in the back. Turn and attack rather than head on!”

“thanks! Gilliant! Keep your eyes on me from above!”

[i get it.]

Gillian took flight and wandered around using magic around the Minotaur’s head.

Thanks to this, I was able to distract the angry Minotaur.

[Ha, all of these guys can’t even take a bite when they become adults, so it’s really annoying.]

I’ll answer you too.

I thought dragons were the strongest from birth, but that wasn’t the case either.

Gilliant told me that dragons in their early stages of growth tend to be overprotective.

The current Gillian is overflowing with mana, but he said that the limit is to use magics of around 3 circles.

Seeing that his magic didn’t work well with the Minotaur, it seemed that he also had magic resistance.

‘Hold on a little. I am going right now.’

As Hyuk told me, I turned back while the Minotaur was focusing on the Gillian.

Using Hermes’ shoes, I stepped on the wall of the labyrinth and rose into the air, standing on the Minotaur’s shoulder.

Ummm?

As I got on his shoulder, the startled guy reached out to grab me.

Jumping to avoid his hand, I grabbed the spear with both hands and inserted it into his collarbone.

hooked!

Hwareuk!

Because of the passive effect of the spear of flames, as soon as it was pierced into his flesh, flames began to rise.

mmm!

I put my hand on the guy’s neck, enduring the struggle of the guy in pain.

“This is the end.”

I froze his neck with the elements of wind and water.

Blasphemy!

It wouldn’t end with freezing the neck, but once frozen, the object was fragile.

Clinging to the spear, I sharpened the elements of wind on his frozen neck and created a blade.

Chae Chae Chae!

Sharpened elements of wind clawing at his frozen neck.

Soon, the frozen neck cracked, and the boy’s head and body separated.

thud!

The guy whose head was separated collapsed and the ground trembled as much as the size of his body.

“Is it over?”

I sneakily touched it with elemental magic, but it didn’t happen again.

I approached the fallen guy safely and checked the Awakening Stone.

In that moment, I felt that this was not the end.

[Wait, didn’t I say that the Awakening Stones from this dungeon were S-class?]

Gilliant also noticed something strange.

The one that came out of the Minotaur was a purple A-class.

As far as I know, the S-class Awakening Stone spit out by the boss of this dungeon caused a problem.

So, does that mean this guy isn’t the boss?

Even the message that the dungeon had been cleared didn’t appear.

“There is something else. The dungeon hasn’t even been cleared.”

“Couldn’t there be another group of guys like this?”

The battle just now was definitely a tough one for the other members.

In particular, it would have been even more difficult for Min-young and Hyuk, who were non-combatants.

“Hyuk-ah, how are you?”

I immediately asked Hyuk and he used his ability.

“I don’t see any threat on the map. I see something marked in the center, so I guess I’ll have to go there. uh?”

“Why, what do you see?”

Hyuk, who was using his guidance skill to look around, made a puzzled expression and said,

“Another person entered the labyrinth besides us. Are you coming this way?”

“You mean the other Hunters?”

“Yes, it is not a monster. They are definitely people.”

“It’s not strange that other teams besides us are taking on the challenge. Let’s hurry up and go to the center.”

“yes!”

After taking the spoils from the Orcs and Minotaurs, we headed to the center of the labyrinth following Hyuk’s guidance.

If the boss was still there, he might be waiting for the labyrinth invader in the center.

[You are probably right. A labyrinth is usually a place made to protect something. That’s why it becomes a target for treasure hunters.]

‘So you’re saying there might be a bigger reward in the middle?’

[I don’t know. Will it be a reward or a cursed item?]

‘You’ll know when you go.’

*

After Yoo Seo-jun and his colleagues left, the hunters Hyuk talked about arrived.

They were none other than Kim Min-cheol and the members of the association.

“Could we be too late?”

“Can you stop this?”

Looking at the traces of the battle, the Association members shook their heads.

As if they were pathetic, the person wearing the mask opened his mouth.

“If you’re worried, it’s not too late, so go back. I have no intention of working with weaklings.”

“what? Are you done talking now?! If he came as a mercenary under a subcontract, he would be quietly crushed.”

The association personnel fought back, but the hand of the hunter wearing a mask was approaching his neck before he knew it.

“If you talk about it one more time, I will burn your vocal cords and make you mute.”

“stop. Our mission is to prevent Yoo Seo-jun’s growth and to deal with it from within if we can. Is it time for us to fight among ourselves?”

It was Kim Min-cheol who stopped the Hunter from running wild.

The hunter wearing a mask glared at him for a long time, then removed his raised hand and said.

“If a fight breaks out, I will take care of Yoo Seo-joon. Because that was the promise in the first place.”

“Yeah, and keep that in mind. Anyway, we are here in the name of the association. If someone dies here, it must have been from a monster. Did you understand?”

“yes!”

Kim Min-cheol gave such a request to the personnel and took the lead.

The eyes of the hunter wearing a mask following him were full of fighting spirit.

*

“We are almost there. It is still safe.”

Hyuk, who took the lead and guided us, said.

As he said, he came out of the passage and a circular space appeared.

Seeing the roads in many directions, it seemed that there was not one road leading to the center.

“What’s in the middle?”

There was a cylinder in the center of the circular space, and a sword was embedded in the center of the pillar.

“This… … .”

“Can I pull it out?”

“Is this a treasure hidden in the labyrinth?”

it’s a sword Could it be something like a treasured sword?

At first glance, the handle looked normal.

‘Gilliant, don’t you know anything?’

[I don’t know everything about me. I will remember what I experienced or saw.]

If Gilliant doesn’t know, there is only one way.

Sureureung.

Grabbing the handle with both hands and pulling it out with all my might, the sword was unexpectedly pulled out at once without resistance.

“emotion.”

[You cannot appraise because your appraisal skill level is low.]

“hmm. Soo-yeon, would you like to try it?”

Among us, the one with the highest emotional skill was Soo-yeon, a characteristic of the production side.

“Give me.”

Soo-yeon, who received the sword from me, tilted her head after appraising.

“It’s just a fairly sturdy A-class sword, right? There are no other options, and if it’s unusual, the material is white silver.”

“A hundred?”

[It is the most sacred and powerful substance in the human world. The basic material is silver, but it is white in color and accepts mana and divine energy well, so it is sold to wizards at a high price.]

Hearing Gilliant’s words reminded me of a metal often seen in fantasy novels.

The names were different, but the nature was similar.

It was then.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the vibration in the labyrinth became severe, and the stone walls forming the labyrinth began to collapse.

Then, there was a thick layer of dust all around.

“Coke. What happened?”

“I do not know either. What mechanism is there for the walls to come down?”

The dust obscured his vision, so he used the element of wind to collect the dust.

After a while, we couldn’t help but be surprised by the revealed view.

After the stone wall disappeared, the maze we had been wandering around disappeared and a huge space was created.

“Look over there!”

Hearing Min-yeong’s cry, he looked at the place she was pointing at and saw a huge stone statue of a bull’s head with its mouth open.

From that gaping mouth, a bigger man than the Minotaur he caught earlier came out.

Behind him were four more Minotaur, similar in size to the one he had dealt with earlier.

“What the hell is this!”

While we were nervous about the appearance of the giant Minotaur, we heard a man’s cry from behind us.

I turned around and saw an unwelcome face.

“Yoo Seo-jun! What is this now!”

Kim Min-cheol asked me with an absurd expression.

It was me who was really embarrassed.

So, were the hunters that Hyuk had followed us into were members of the Association?

Behind Kim Min-cheol were 10 hunters.

mmm!!!

Before we could say anything, the minotaurs that appeared in front of us began to howl.

Their cries echoing through the space made my ears hurt.

Was that guy the real boss of this place?

The howling stopped and they rushed towards us with red eyes shining.

Everyone was nervous as they saw them running all at once with huge axes and hammers.

“Everyone, wake up! We have to hunt them down before Yu Seo-jun does!”

It seemed that he knew that we were the first team to hear the nuances of Kim Min-cheol.

They’re probably trying to close the gate before us and build up achievements.

“We also calm down. As you may have experienced before, it’s a bit dangerous if there are several of them, not just one.”

“I will guide you through the bow.”

“Especially you are considerate of yourself. Don’t step forward.”

I patted the spirited Hyuk on the shoulder and said that. Then, I inserted the spear of Hwa-hwa and took the sword from the pillar to Su-yeon again.

[Grade A] [Sword of Theseus]

The sword used by the hero Theseus to kill the Minotaur.

It is made of pure white silver and is sharp enough to easily cut through the sturdy and thick Minotaur hide.

It was written in detail about the sword because Soo-yeon gave her an appraisal.

As Suyeon said, I didn’t see any special features or options, but from the explanation alone, it was the best sword to deal with the Minotaur.

I never thought I would be able to use the ‘assassin’s swordsmanship’ skill that I thought would be useless.

Still, with this sword, it might be easier to respond than before.

Seeing them running at us, I set the earth element in motion.

mmm!

Maybe 100 meters left?

When I reached the distance that seemed to be only a few steps away from them, I cast the elemental magic of the land I had prepared.
