The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

It was the first time Han Ji-hee had entered the portal and was with government agents.

Originally, when the portal was created, she ran faster than anyone else, forced the gate to open, and eliminated the weakened nobles as a result of her fighting style.

For that reason, it excludes encounters at the end of a long battle.

He never worked with government agents.

‘Should I come back to Seoul again?’

The reason she was troubled was simple.

This is because portals in which demons appear are randomly generated all over the country, but portals in which the higher level nobles appear, appear mainly in densely populated areas.

In Korea, of course, that was Seoul.

‘It takes three hours to get to the site. It's too late.'

When he appeared on the scene as a knight in a white coat

was already delaying the opening of the gate by ordinary wizards holding the portal.

The military and police were controlling the surrounding area, and the raid team was ready to rush in.

'I'd rather leave it to these people here.'

I blamed myself for not being well prepared.

When I entered the portal, I came in thinking that I would just have to fight a demon or a nobleman.

Actually, that was a normal gate.

“I no longer… .”

The labyrinth of ice and ice unfolded endlessly.

In the end, the people exhausted from the cold fell one by one.

Magical warriors who could not use magic came first.

“Are you going to keep moving forward like this?”

“Then shall we go back the way we came?”

Infighting arose among the wizards as well.

This is because even those with a strong reputation for raids had never experienced such a harsh environment inside a portal.

“There is no way, knight in white coat.

are you?”

One of the wizards looked at Han Ji-hee and asked for help.

If she possesses her mysterious powers, she hopes that there may be a way to solve this problem.

But just because she was her didn't mean she had a pointy way.

She sent the spirit away to find the being that created the portal, but she still has not returned.

Soon-won entered the portal through the armed forces, hiding through invisibility magic.

When he first entered, he was expecting a dungeon that had completed a significant portion of his breakthrough, but contrary to his expectations, a harsh blizzard greeted him.

“What is this… .”

An ice wall soaring high into the sky was forming a maze, and a sharp wind was raging in the sub-zero temperature.

“Wait, where have you heard this a lot?”

The death of a person blessed with mana in the United States.

A survivor who barely survived came back and told the press about the situation.

- There were neither demons nor nobles in the endless maze. It was a place where only the bitter cold existed.

Said the wizards trapped in the maze.

It's a trap the devils have dug.

A dungeon without an exit to deal with beings that are difficult to deal with.

I thought so.

- How did you escape?

At the reporter's question, the survivor said:

- It reminded me of something my magic physics professor told me when I was in magic college. There is causality in the world.

- Causality?

- Yes, some people call it the law of the universe, some call it the Gaia system.

- What does that have to do with dungeon escape?

- Demons cannot create unanswered problems unless they are gods.

No matter how evil you are, there is a way out

Are you saying you can't make a maze without it?

- Yes, it is.

Where there is darkness there is light, and where there is a villain there is a hero.A demon has appeared, but just as there is a wizard, if there is a maze, there is a way out.

‘Yeah, I just figured out how to get out of this ice maze.’

Soon-won was not cold thanks to the coat that kept him out of the cold, but Ji-hee's party, who came in first, would be different.

Times inside and outside the gate are different

because it flows.

‘I must hurry.’

It wasn't just cold.

Russia and Alaska, the coldest regions on Earth, were also inferior to the coldness of the labyrinth here.

‘Show me the way.’

When he lifted the magic wand, a line of light flowed out of the crystal ball at the tip and started pointing to one side.

Soon-won started running towards it.

♦ * *

The wizards and magic warriors who were with Han Ji-hee at the beginning were nowhere to be seen.

Those who were devoured by the continuous blizzard, the distance widened according to their physical strength, and those who could not help others decided to move forward without taking care of their comrades after consultation.

Rather than taking care of his colleagues, he thought that if he reached the end of the maze and killed the creator of the dungeon, he would be able to get out of this place.

‘What the hell.’

The problem is that there is no end in sight.

The flame magic to melt the cold consumed a lot of mana in the cold weather, and the emergency food I brought with me ran out.

‘I wanted to get revenge on my parents, but that’s all.’

Han Ji-hee could not forget that day.

On a day of heavy rain and lightning, a beautiful man with three horns on his head appeared.

Appearing in a beautiful appearance that did not belong to this world, he killed his parents.

She was captivated by her appearance for a moment.

She resented herself.

'If God exists... .'

I wanted to ask for help.

Her feet and fingertips were already numb.

Her face also froze and she couldn't open her mouth.

'Ah… .'

In the end, she could not take her steps and fell in front of her.

A pile of cold snow met her face, but her nerves had also froze, so it didn't feel cold.

‘You’ve come this far.’

She turned around her body as hard as she could.

Because of her blizzard, she couldn't see the sky she wanted.

bum bum.

Suddenly, I heard someone's footsteps.

Considering that the wizard who was with him until the end lost all his stamina and collapsed, he couldn't think of anyone who would approach with such a strong footsteps.

‘Are you the creator of this dungeon?’

The last remaining woman did not know that she had fallen, so she might have appeared to confirm that she was dead.

She lifted her head and tried to check her opponent.

However, her body had already stiffened and was becoming cloudy.

“Han Ji-hee!”

“Han Ji-hee, calm down!”

“Did you come all the way here in this state? If only I had preserved my stamina in place.”

Although the voices were different, Han Ji-hee reached out to a familiar silhouette and a familiar accent.

‘You came.’

her arm fell off.

The man who saw her took off her own clothes and wrapped them around her.

“The statue is serious.”

If not for magic, the frozen fingertips and toes were so severe that they had to be amputated.

If the surrounding area was suddenly warmed up, blood could suddenly flow through the frozen bloodstream, causing a shock death in excruciating pain.

“Drink some of this.”

She poured the potion she brought with her into Han Ji-hee's mouth. But she lost her mind and couldn't drink it.

“I can’t,”

Soon-won poured his potion into his mouth and passed it from his mouth to his mouth.

As she poured mana into her body, her pale complexion began to glow a little.

“Then let’s get out of here.”

The way out of the maze was simple.

You can't get out of the endless maze even if you walk.

Because the exit is right below.

- I tried to melt the ice wall, but I would rather avoid the cold.

The use of Hellfire magic was the clue to his escape.

It is a change of thinking.

When Columbus first discovered America, those who were jealous of it denigrated his achievements.

He only discovered it first, but anyone could find it.

Columbus then suggested that he could put the egg on the table, and the man in front of him tried several times, but all failed.

[See.]

Columbus smashed the egg

He broke the stem and set the egg upright.

People who saw it said he could do it himself if he did, but he shook his head.

[Once you know, anyone can do it. After you know.]

If there was a maze in front of them, they thought of escaping on foot or breaking the ice wall, but no one thought that there would be a way out on the floor.

This is because ordinary people think that no matter how much they dig down, there is only earth and soil.

“O scorching flame that burns all things, let it be manifested in my will and at my fingertips. Spinning Fire!”

The flame started small and rotated quickly, creating a vortex of flames.

As the bottom was made of ice, the rapidly melting hole began to grow bigger and bigger.

一I~I~I~「!

The floor began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.

The vibration was so severe that the ice wall began to crack as if it were about to break.

I know the answer, but it was not easy to throw my body into the pit because I had not seen and experienced it myself.

This is because there was only darkness that could not be seen in the pit dug by Hellfire magic.

“Let’s go.”

Soon-won, who wrapped around Han Ji-hee, who was sleeping, threw herself there.

It descends slowly with anti-gravity magic and levitation magic, but Soon-won, who has fallen for a while, disappears after a while, and finds himself standing in a bright space.

could find

"here is?"

It was a huge room.

He was right to say that it was a hemispherical playground.

There was a large chair in the middle, and a man wearing a hood was sitting there, with several strings attached to his back.

The man, for some reason, had his upper body bowed and was drenched in agony.

‘There was no such story on TV.’

look carefully to judge the situation

I saw.

I looked to see how many of the countless strands connected to the ceiling had been scorched black.

“Wow!”

The pain was so great that the man's waist was bent like a bow.

Soon after, frozen dead wizards and magic warriors fell from the black ceiling.

"Right. The dungeon itself was your body. We were on your back.”

Prepare for battle and raise your magic wand

uh raised

However, the opponent raised his hand to prevent Soon-won from approaching.

“Come on, wait… .”

"what? For an aristocrat who built a dungeon like this... .”

His face was hidden under the hood, but his trembling hands were clearly terrified.

Soon-won slowly approached him and took off his hood.

“Hey!”

The man who withdrew his body in fear

The crab also had a chicken mask on his face.

Soon-won threw it off as well.

"uh?"

The opponent was human.It was also an old man who was estimated to be in his 60s.

The magical energy that gently flowed from his body was proving that he was a wizard.

“Come on, don’t hurt me for a second.”

"Who are you?"

Soon-won grabbed the man in the chicken mask by the neck and lifted him up.

Seeing the old face and body, and the cold sweat dripping from his body, he was clearly human.

"You're one of the two guys that cooperates with the devil. right?"

“Leave me alone for a second. Then I'll cause it all!"

Soon-won slowly released his clenched hand.

The old wizard groaned and patted his neck.

“Will you let me go if I tell you everything I know?”

"Do not be ridiculous. what you did

look!"

Soon-won growled and pointed behind him. There were people frozen to death in the maze on the floor.

"no. no. That's not what I killed."

"You didn't kill him? The burns on your back look like traces of the flame magic I used to escape the ice maze?”

“I, I just came here as instructed and ate the fruit in the box. Then suddenly something grew from his back and pierced the ceiling.

went up I had no choice but to sit still!”

The old wizard shouted as if everything was unfair.

“Do it? who? Who gave you the fruit?”

“If you promise to let me go.”.

It was then. A knife that flew quickly and ripped the wind from the side and flew right in at Soon-won's neck.

U | 99

There is an automatic defense magic, so even if you stand still, you will be bounced off the magic shield and fly away.

expected that

However, as the dagger drew closer, he instinctively felt an ominous feeling and quickly bowed down.

Break up!

A powerful magic defense shield that can survive for 10 seconds after hitting 7 circle magic with a 3-tier shield is broken at once and penetrates through the shield on the other side.

“What is this?”

Confused, I looked at the place where the dagger flew.

There, the door was opened and a man wearing a dragon mask appeared in this space and found himself.

was looking

When the opponent's attack failed, without thinking twice, he turned around and started to run away through the door he had entered.

Soon-won tried to chase him, but the sound of the dungeon shaking and collapsing began to be heard.

“Big… .”

There were two flying daggers.

Soon-won avoided it, but the old wizard, who had a string on his back, couldn't avoid it and had a sword stuck in his neck.

"Hey!"

Soon-won quickly pours healing into his stabbed neck, but the old wizard pushes the healing hand away.

Instead, he put his own blood on his fingertips and wrote letters on Soon-won's hand.

cloth)

“What does this mean?”

The question was just an empty echo.

Already the old wizard was dead and limp.

Searching the old wizard's body, he couldn't find any clues.

Reluctantly, Soon-won turned his body and went back to Han Ji-hee, who was lying down.

“Let’s go back.”

The walls, floors, and ceilings that make up the dungeon began to collapse like a puzzle.

Soon-won prepared a magic that made his body transparent in case he was going out.

As he was about to use invisibility magic, one of the fallen wizards opened his eyes and began to tremble.

‘There were more survivors.’

Since he can't double-cast, he hurriedly approached him and used healing magic before using invisibility magic.

Because his mind was awake, he drank the potion he put into his mouth well.

"•"thank you."

The man faintly looked at Soon-won, who had his face and body covered with a black hood, and then fainted.
