Chapter 55. The Sky Road
Kim Do-Joon wondered if the name Sky Road meant a path to heaven. The labyrinth he and Karlish had entered this time was truly deserving of its name.
— It's really tall.
"... Indeed it is,” Kim Do-Joon replied to Karlish.
The mountain was so high its peak was barely visible. The path beyond a few steps ahead was shrouded in clouds and mist that obscured everything. All they could see were stone steps reminiscent of those from a temple.
"Do you think these steps are remnants of some ancient civilization?" asked Kim Do-Joon.
— How should I know? You would know better than me.
Kim Do-Joon sighed because Karlish had a point. However, just like Karlish, he did not know much about labyrinths.
So far, he had seen many ancient structures. The first labyrinth, the Catacomb, was a maze and a building in itself. The third one, Collapsed Temple, had the temple and castle wall built by Siwelin's companions. The fourth, the Middle Orc Kingdom, had Karlish and wooden fences made by those orcs.
And now, they were at the fifth labyrinth, a lone mountain with nothing but stairs leading up.
Where are the monsters?
Kim Do-Joon squinted and surveyed the surroundings. He even used his skill to enhance his vision but found no signs of life. Not even the usual sounds of insects or cicadas could be heard. The silence, coupled with the fog, created an eerie stillness.
