Chapter 343 – Chapter 343 Yggdrasil (3-51)
After escaping from Cerberus to the hole, I was able to calm Hanbom in the hole and proceed.
And as I progressed through the hole like that, I was able to come out through the exit.
But the problem was then.
Han Bom, Park Jin-hee, and Park Sun-hee.
These three women clung to me, wary of their surroundings.
It was in a similar position as before, but if there was a slight difference from before, it was the fact that she was right next to me.
The reason was simple.
“Oh, I can’t see the hole.”
“….”
The holes that had been visible until now had disappeared.
I proceeded quietly, keeping my breathing low, but I could not find any holes throughout the process.
And there was another real problem that made us nervous.
“20 minutes… It’s not long now.”
The remaining time is 20 minutes and 40 seconds.
A modifier that appears every 20 minutes.
It was a part that I couldn’t pass by even if I wanted to.
This is because strange modifiers popped out almost all over the yard, and a decision that could not be cleared at all could come out.
Time passed by as I wandered around looking for holes like that, leaving 5 seconds left.
Everyone focused their eyes on the empty space in front of them, not on the border around them, and began to be silent.
5… 4… 3… 2… One….
And the moment it becomes 0.

=====
Han Bom squeezed her hand, and Park Seon-hee opened her eyes wide.
And Park Jin-hee closed her eyes tightly and waited for the alarm to be announced from her hologram.
However….
19:59… 58… 57… 56.
“… ?”
“What, what is it?”
There was no response.
At that moment, everyone crouched down on the floor as if their tension was relieved, and began to laugh dejectedly in small voices.
Haha… Wow… It really scares people.”
“I thought my heart stopped….”
Everyone started to smile as the tension that had been tightening them all at once was relieved.
I thought it was a good phenomenon in that I could change my mood for a while even in such a dangerous situation.
However, if it had bad results in the future, it was bound to be a product of regret.
I said with a small smile, matching the mood.
“Now, let’s go find the other party members again.”
As I progressed in such a relaxed atmosphere, I was able to barely find a hole by chance.
However, the discovery of the hole made our heads hurt.
“Here… Shall we go in?”
“….”
I’m in trouble.
Surely, if I asked to go, whether it was a hole or a large tunnel, the three women would follow me without saying a word.
However, I passed it as it was, and there was no guarantee that another hole would appear elsewhere.
However, I couldn’t come up with an opinion to use it blindly.
‘I can somehow cover this side, but it’s not easy because it’s midsummer over there.’
Now, it was very difficult to rescue Min Ha-yeon through Warp.
In order not to get caught in the temple, he had to avoid using the warp right in front of midsummer.
Of course, if Min Ha-yeon was really dead, she would use it without thinking about it….
While I was thinking like that, Hanbom, who was next to me, came up to me and whispered.
“Mister, how about this?”
“… ?”
Hanbom began to recite the plan she had in mind.
***
‘A hole, a hole… There are no holes!’
While Han Yeo-reum noticed Ha-yeon Min and Hye-eun Son, she constantly looked around to find a hole.
However, the holes that were scattered here and there in the early days had already disappeared.
‘Because I have insurance… It’ll be fine.’
Midsummer had written her hand that she would not go to the next floor by completely burning her key before she could get out of the last hole.
With that insurance in place, the next important thing started to bother me.
‘Jewel… I need to see….’
This round had been humiliated, contempt, contempt and ridiculed countless times throughout the round.
And while enduring all of them, she was able to finally get bail from Seong Su-ho and expire her contract until the end.
But she began to think that she might not be able to see the contents of the most important jewel.
‘Jewels are also jewels… How about regression? Why don’t you just close your eyes and shout out to that monster bastard?’
It was the best and worst thing he could do.
She will become the twin of the world who will drag Min Ha-yeon to hell, but she decided that if she returned anyway, she would forget everything.
‘By the way… What if she does and she miscalculates and goes up?’
The worst insecurity that lingers on him.
What if I tried to die with Min Ha-yeon, only thinking about returning, but instead survived and went to the second floor?
That’s it.
Any episode of Midsummer is good, so I wanted to create a perfect scenario in which Seong Soo-ho was destroyed and Min Ha-yeon was recovered.
She already thought it was impossible to change Min Ha-yeon’s heart, but he didn’t want to give up on Min Ha-yeon.
The first button was already messed up, but the next one couldn’t be messed up either.
Besides, the thing he hated the most was no longer death.
‘Fuck… But I can’t stand being eaten by that monster!’
Rather than dying, the fear was completely established to the extent that I couldn’t face death.
He thought it would be much better to die from being crushed by the hole, but suddenly the hole was nowhere to be seen.
That midsummer was the time when I was walking, diligently looking for a hole as if I had a neurosis.
‘Hole… Hole… Hole… Hole! There he is!’
A hole came in Midsummer’s eye and she began to darting toward it.
And Min Ha-yeon and Son Hye-eun turned their heads with a surprised expression at the sudden action in midsummer.
Fortunately, after confirming the existence of the hole, the two women let out a sigh of relief and went through the midsummer.
The three quickly moved near the hole and began a quiet discussion.
“Hayeon, can we go in?”
“… I cannot arbitrarily decide. It is decided by majority vote.”
At Min Ha-yeon’s words, Son Hye-eun smiled and shrugged her shoulders.
“I will definitely follow Hayeon. So, decide.”
“….”
Son Hye-eun must have fully opened her heart to the fact that she risked her life to save her earlier, and she began to actively follow her opinion.
Min Ha-yeon smiled dejectedly and looked at her hand, Hye-eun, and shook her head.
“I think it would be better not to use it.”
The reason Min Ha-yeon said this was for the sake of the other members of the group except for the current group.
“You never know what will happen in the end. When others get in trouble because of us… I think I will regret it for the rest of my life.”
Son Hye-eun showed her heart with a sad expression, but she quickly corrected her expression and responded with a smile.
“Then it is decided. Let’s start again.”
As the decision was made not to use the hole like that, a voice echoed right next to it.
“Oops!”
“!!”
Startled by the sudden cry of midsummer, the two women turned their heads and began to scan their surroundings, alert to see if anything appeared.
But nothing caught their eye.
It was just a huge, silent cave.
After sweeping their hearts, the two women began to look at Midsummer, who suddenly shouted.
Midsummer reflected in their eyes….
“What, what?”
“Midsummer… What are you doing there?”
“M-I’m sorry… My feet are twisted…..”
It was midsummer, sitting in a hole with an awkward posture.
“….”
Min Ha-yeon covered her face with her hands and hid her expression of despair, while Son Hye-eun just looked at Midsummer with a puzzled expression.
After a moment of quiet silence, Min Ha-yeon and Son Hye-eun sighed and began to enter the hole.
“I can’t help it because I’ve already done it. Let’s go.”
“Yes. This time… 7 minutes, that’s short! Let’s hurry in and find the exit.”
“… Is it strange?”
Min Ha-yeon looked at the time of 7 minutes and looked at the sky with a puzzled expression.
Looking at her like that, her son Hye-eun asked.
“Why? What’s the problem?”
“Isn’t it strange? All the holes I’ve been in so far have been over 10 minutes, and most of them are close to 20 minutes.”
Son Hye-eun understood the meaning of Min Ha-yeon’s words and began to smile.
“In this cave… Who do you think could be?”
“Come in quickly! Good midsummer!”
“….”
Midsummer thought to herself while watching the two delighted women.
‘Fuck….’
***
The method suggested by Han Bom was simple.
They were of the opinion that if they were going to enter the hole anyway, we should lure Cerberus towards us.
And the trouble didn’t last long.
(I go in and check the time.)
The hole started ticking off a timer of around 14 minutes as soon as we entered.
After that we started screaming so that Cerberus could hear us right in the tunnel.
And soon after, Cerberus appeared….
(…Why do you appear in the form of that bastard?)
It was the look of midsummer.
Thanks to that, not only I but all the women here were able to enter the hole without being deceived.
If there was just one thing I was worried about….
‘… It wasn’t unusual for the robber to suddenly become angry.’
Although her ferocity increased as time went on, earlier she began to cry and retell with much more hatred, especially as if she had recognized that she had been tricked.
It was a cry that shouldn’t exist in this world.
However, Park Seon-hee and Park Jin-hee, who calmly followed me despite such appearance, exchanged stories in a light atmosphere as if humming.
“Whew… It was like real. If she had been Hye-eun, I think she would have been possessed.”
“Seeing you bewitched like that even though you know it, it’s really… If you don’t know, you’ll just get hurt.”
Everyone seemed to have decided that it was really over.
It has to be….

0:05:11
Survivors: 7
[Eyes of death], [Nose of death], [Ears of death], [Houses of death]
You are currently in a hole where you can escape death. 2 minutes 04 seconds left until collapse.
=====
The remaining time is only 5 minutes.
It was enough time to gain the confidence to survive somehow, as long as it wasn’t for the fact that he was burning the air as soon as he arrived at the exit.
Time passed like that and it became 5 minutes.
“Hey, there’s a cave exit! Hurry… Uh?”
I stopped talking in the lead and started staring blankly at the emergency alarm that appeared in front of me.
An alarm went off.
=====
0:05:00
Survivors: 7
[Eyes of Death], [Nose of Death], [Ears of Death], [Hearing of Death], [Hall of Death], [Brenzy of Death]
You are currently in a hole where you can escape death. 1 minute and 53 seconds left until collapse.
Death started rampant.
Death’s movement speed is increased by 200%. Death Strength is increased by 300%. Death focus is increased by 500%.
Death Endothelial thickness reduced to 50%. Death’s defense reduced to 40%. Death Sight reduced by 50%.
An escape route has been created to avoid death. If you escape through the exit, it is considered a success even if you do not last for the time limit.
=====
It was a time when everyone was staring blankly into space.
Kwaaang! Aaaaagh! Aaaaa!! Kwakakakang!
“What, what!”
It was a sound with a different type of wavelength than the Cerberus sound I had heard so far.
A mixture of everything from hell was rushing like mad into the cave where we were.
And I was able to know the starting point of the berserk sound pushing in like that.
“No way an exit!?”
It was the exit just in front of me.
It wasn’t usually a big deal.
I hurriedly ran to the exit and quietly began to look outside.
Fortunately, however, there was no Cerberus at the exit, and the source of the sound was far away.
As I was relieved, I saw a large door beyond Cerberus.
A huge door swaying with red flames.
A giant iron gate much larger than Cerberus.
A door with all sorts of bizarre patterns engraved on it, implying that you should never enter.
‘Is that the exit? The location is too bad….’
[Suho! That’s not the problem!]
‘Yes? What’s the matter?’
[Cerberus now!]
I listened to Armonia’s words, opened my eyes, and looked at Cerberus with the utmost concentration.
A guy who breaks through walls with dynamic gestures.
If the image he showed until now was at least rational, the image he shows now is a real monster itself.
But his behavior…. No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t feel like I was just getting angry and making a fuss on the spot.
At the same time as Armonia’s cry, my mind also cracked like her ice block split.
[Min Ha-yeon is trapped where Cerberus is!]
