297. Code Zero (2)

'The Orc King's Maze' is a three-pronged maze dungeon built on a huge square site.

The dungeon starts at one corner of the square, and a huge boss room is located at the end of the opposite corner.

[The time challenge starts as soon as you enter the entrance, so let's save time and decide on a general direction first.]

Dexter drew a brief picture on the floor with a staff. This was for Guest ID users who could not receive help from the minimap.

[I dictate the overall direction. Due to the nature of the maze dungeon, the path does not appear on the mini-map, but we can still determine our approximate location.]

[Group! Dexter is someone you can rely on!]

[good. Once you enter the entrance, everyone runs to the right. The leader goes to Owen or Hatasu Titi. The placement of the Orc subunits is determined randomly, but more than half of the first hitters are close-range fighters. and... ... .]

[Why don't you go to the center?]

At that time, Seongjin cut off his explanation and asked.

Are you heading to the boss room at the end of the square? Well, it's common sense that the shortest distance is to just cross diagonally, right?

[They say it's quite easy to get lost and wander around the central area. It is said that there are many side roads and roads that go backwards are often created. If you follow one edge, the risk of losing direction is much reduced.]

[Hmm.]

[In addition, the central maze is a passage where the three mazes merge once the alarm goes off incorrectly. If you do something wrong, hundreds of mobs may pour in without time lag.]

okay? Then what?

Seongjin nodded, thinking nothing of it.

[Then isn't it the same for the left? Why are you on the right?]

To Hatasu Titi's question, Dexter answered clearly.

[On the right, the deployment of long-distance small units is relatively high. It is difficult to deal with them in large numbers, so it would be more advantageous to defeat them one by one when the opportunity arises.]

[aha!]

After completing this rough briefing, they entered the dungeon one by one, maintaining a somewhat pleasant level of tension.

But the last time was when Seongjin stepped into the dungeon.

Crackling-

For a moment, a subtle noise caught his eye and then disappeared.

'... ... ?'

Surprised, Seongjin blinked for a moment, but fortunately his vision didn't change much.

'what?'

He squinted his eyes, feeling something unpleasant, but Owen looked back at him and smiled cheerfully.

"What is it, newbie? Are you suddenly nervous? Anyway, you are part of the short-range team, so this time, don't run around alone. Stay quietly behind me or Titi. Because it's dangerous. Did you understand?"

Seongjin glared at him with a sullen face.

No, this fox bastard still treats me like a beginner?

"Leaving aside Dexter, who is a real newbie, why am I still treated as the youngest member of the party?"
