Chapter 457 – Chapter 457 Yggdrasil (4-5)
After the spirits stormed into their lair all at once, they began to howl.
“Shit… What the hell is this!”
“Are you dead? Are those guys dead?”
“I don’t know either!”
“I don’t want to die!!”
“Be quiet!”
Among the chattering spirits, it was Ben Crash who at least bruised and calmed them down.
“It’s not annihilated, and the number of people who were killed is less than 10 at most.”
“What does it matter if there are ten or a hundred fucking people!? Dead!! He died, but this time he really died!!”
“Fuck….”
He, too, was swept away by the magic of the holy guardian and almost disappeared into smoke, but luckily he was able to avoid being turned into fog thanks to the lightning that exploded away from him.
But that situation instilled greater fear in him.
‘Fuck… I’m sure they know how to get out alive! However….”
Despite his desperate heart, his lips did not come off easily.
He didn’t want to go to Seongsu Lake again.
‘What, there is such a monstrous bastard!? Even if he was strong when he was alive, how could he even kill the souls!!’
A monster that annihilated not only himself but also over a hundred comrades during his lifetime.
Even when I met him here, it was Ben Crash who was happy that he was dead.
However, he was able to feel the fear of death even in the state of his soul in the appearance of the Seongsuho, which burns up even the soul that says that he will not die, let alone die.
‘… No. If it goes on like this, it will surely be dog death.’
Ben Crash decided to give up cleanly.
The desire not to die began to take hold of his mind more than the desire to live.
There is a story that this victory is good even if you roll in dog poop.
But now, Ben Crash felt like he wanted to remain in this place, like a field of dog shit.
Fear began to surround him because he did not know what would happen next if even his soul was erased.
And like Ben Crash’s determination, other spirits began to speak the same thing.
“Me… Now I just want to go back to the village.”
“Me too….”
“Okay, what are you doing here? I died anyway….”
“….”
In the meantime, the colleagues who had formed a group with the hope that they could survive were gradually losing their will.
It was the moment when the will of all spirits was broken.
A man’s voice echoed in the darkness.
“It’s a spectacle.”
“!?”
All the spirits, including Ben Crash, looked at the darkness in unison, and there, the one whose face was not revealed opened his mouth in a low voice.
“What the hell is this situation?”
“That… That is….”
Ben Crash approached him with a large body and began to explain his case.
The man in the dark did not give any answer the entire time he explained the circumstances.
After explaining all the circumstances, Ben Crash shook his head and took his final period.
“So we will go back. Not anymore.”
“… Were you really alive?”
“That’s right!”
“Did you just leave him like this? It’s really useless.”
“… What did you say now?”
Beginning with Ben Crash’s words, the spirits rose in unison and gradually began to approach the man in the dark.
“What? Useful?”
“Now that’s what you’re saying to us!?”
“You, you bastard, you’ve been pampering us without even showing her face, right?”
Amidst the resentment of the other spirits, Ben Crash nodded and began to approach the man.
“Yes, if you think about it, we fell for your persuasion, but we have no reason to be treated like this. I didn’t like the fact that I had to hide alone every time. Great. Hey, let’s hit this bastard once and float.”
“Okay! Even if it’s just a matter of resentment….”
It was the moment when everyone was clamoring and approaching the man in the dark.
Aaaaa….
In the darkness, a purple eye light shot from the man’s face, blurring the eyes of the spirits.
“Uh… I remember seeing that….”
“Me too…. What was it….”
The spirits who had seen the purple eyes suddenly calmed down, and the man in the dark opened his mouth as if he was pitiful.
“Don’t you all want to live?”
“Sah, I want to live….”
“Then you should follow my words, right?”
“That, yes. Ah Okay….”
With Ben Crash’s answer, everyone began to nod as if agreeing with him.
The man sighed, then walked over to Ben Crash and carefully handed him a mirror.
“Thing… Wool?”
In response to Ben Crash’s question, the man began to explain softly, showing him purple eyes.
“Command. From now on, you now have this mirror….”
The man’s explanation ended quickly, and Ben Crash nodded like a puppet and muttered.
“… I get it.”
“Is that a short answer?”
“Ah, I see. I will carry out your order. Master….”
“Great. Go now.”
As the man’s voice resounded through the cave, the spirits that had been standing like marionettes began to move in order.
After confirming that all the spirits had left, the man began muttering to himself, recalling the information he had heard from Ben Crash.
“The living… ? Can you really survive? I didn’t even want to come alive. Just… If that guy comes here, I’m just preparing to take revenge thoroughly. Really… Can you survive?”
The lower part of the man who had been buried in the darkness began to be exposed in the shallow light.
And the man in the dark….
“Heh heh. If only I could survive, I’ll make you feel what a greater pain is than dying.”
He began to laugh, tearing his own red lips to the length of his crescent moon.
***
After confirming the disappearing soul, Seong Su-ho turned his head and began to check his members.
“Is everyone okay?”
“Yes, we are fine.”
All of the party members nodded as if agreeing with Min Ha-yeon’s answer behind Seong Su-ho.
Min Ha-yeon whispered to Seong Su-ho while carefully watching the place where her soul had disappeared.
“Why are you suddenly attacking me like madmen?”
“Well….”
Seongsuho did not answer easily.
The spirits who saw the magic of the holy guardian earlier knew that they could be destroyed by his magic, and jumped at his feet and ran away.
However, after a while, the group split up and started attacking the group again.
The raid itself wasn’t a problem at all.
It was because Seongsuho’s magic instantly turned to dust and disappeared.
By the way….
‘Unlike before, you’re attacking like a fanatic. Is it because the state of the soul is unstable?’
Unlike before, it was that he was running with no fear.
The spirits looked similar to the zealots setting their bodies on fire and running.
Seong Soo-ho thought deeply, then spoke in a firm voice as if reassuring Min Ha-yeon.
“If anything happens, I will take care of it. Get everyone together as much as possible and just pay attention.”
Min Ha-yeon answered with a faint smile.
“… Yes.”
Due to the fierce battle earlier, not only Min Ha-yeon, but also Han Bom and the trio were exhausted and had no more energy to fight.
At least Min Ha-yeon had energy left, so she helped Seong Soo-ho to intercept the enemy, but Seong Soo-ho immediately shook her head and stopped her.
(Don’t fight for a while, rest.)
(Huh? No, I can still fight.)
(Take as much rest as possible. Then you might get burned.)
(Yes….)
Min Ha-yeon couldn’t help but smile bitterly while receiving Sung Soo-ho’s consideration.
I was happy.
It was nice to see him fighting to protect himself like that.
However, Min Ha-yeon’s anxious mind was not easily extinguished.
‘I have to help too. At this rate….’
Even after hearing Seong Soo-ho’s words not to think too quickly, he couldn’t calm his mind easily.
Too big a gap.
At first, as a man, the gap came as an attraction, but when it widened too much, I began to feel fear beyond attraction.
That fear is not the fear of Seongsuho….
‘If I become useless… Wouldn’t it be abandoned?’
It was the fear of being abandoned.
No matter how much they loved each other, he wondered who would love a woman who was hanging on her pants crotch when her life was at stake.
Min Ha-yeon began to have doubts about whether he would accept the way he was in the way, let alone help later.
Hanbom began to enter Min Hayeon’s gaze.
‘… Bom will probably take her to the end.’
Healer.
Min Ha-yeon and her party have never seen a healer like Han Bom, even though they have met countless summoners.
It was a fact that everyone already knew that Hanbom was such a rare trait.
In contrast….
‘I can’t even shoot a bow better than Suho… Weak….’
Archery, which Min Ha-yeon was so confident about, was very ineffective in actual combat.
No matter how well she shoots the bow, it was limited to archery based on a quiet and serene environment.
When she entered the real world, there were some cases where the archery she had learned so far actually held her back.
Due to her habit of focusing for long periods of time, the enemy she was aiming at was already dead, so she wasted time changing her target.
‘Ha… Shouldn’t I have looked more carefully in my first career choice?’
There were many things in her recommendation, but Min Ha-yeon ignored them and turned her eyes to her archery.
‘Nope… There was a recommendation for archery. However….’
She was confident that she would not regret it, but she was different to the point where she already regretted it before she knew it.
Min Ha-yeon carefully took out one of her items from her inventory.
=====
Right to work
Yggdrasil’s special occupation.
All summoners are defined as one-man, one-job, so if you want to get a new job, you have to give up your original job.
However, if you have this job right, it is possible to have two jobs at the same time.
=====
A reward received as a reward for clearing the 0th floor boss battle.
This reward had not only Min Ha-yeon, but Seong Su-ho and Han Yeo-reum.
Min Ha-yeon looked at her job rights with her eyes tightened again and nodded her head with her firm face.
‘Next time, when choosing a job, decide carefully. There will definitely come a day when a good job comes out.’
The moment Min Ha-yeon made that resolution, Seong Su-ho’s cry was heard.
“Enemy! Everyone be careful!”
“Ah! Yes!”
Min Ha-yeon immediately nodded her head at Seongsu-ho’s cry, and she stood behind him and she began to look carefully at his back.
‘… Let’s be confident. That’s my forte.’
Min Ha-yeon went through a harsh environment so far, and she was able to become a national archery player.
She is a South Korean national archer that is much harder than an Olympic gold medal.
She was Min Ha-yeon, who made a bloody effort while climbing to the spot.
‘Someday… The day will come when I will stand proudly by your side. Let’s try.’
Min Ha-yeon smiled softly as Seong Su-ho evaporated all her running spirit.
“Kiaaaaa!!”
In this way, another group of souls evaporated while experiencing real death at the hands of Sung Soo-ho.
As Min Ha-yeon watched her disappearing spirit, she tapped Seong Soo-ho on the shoulder.
“It’s really great. It evaporates in an instant.”
“I know…. Mister, what are you really doing?”
“….”
“Are you Suho?”
“Mister?”
Despite Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom’s calls, Seong Su-ho did not answer, and opened his mouth in a threatening tone, looking far away beyond the darkness.
“Hide there and don’t fidget, come out. Unless you just want to evaporate like your peers.”
“Ugh….”
Min Ha-yeon heard the sound of breathing in the dark.
Min Ha-yeon stared at Seongsu-ho staring at the darkness as if enchanted, and she muttered to herself.
‘I can’t see it at all, how the hell did they find out?’
It was a phenomenon that could not be understood simply by finding out the presence.
Even if a person can find out, the opponent is a dead soul.
Seong Su-ho, who noticed the presence of an unknown existence, could not but feel to Ha-yeon Min as an existence beyond the ordinary human category.
As I was staring at it, a spirit began to cautiously approach me from beyond the darkness.
“Sah, save me… Please….”
It was Ben Crash.
Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom laughed dejectedly and began to relax.
“What… It’s that guy.”
“I again… You thought it was a demon.”
Even the other party was sneaking up on the party member in the form of a jjuguri surrendering the white flag.
“Please, please… Help me….”
“Great. I’ll save you. Instead, answer the question properly. Otherwise….”
It was the moment Seong Soo-ho muttered quietly to him.
“Die!!”
“?”
Ben Crash suddenly rushed towards Seongsu Lake.
“Suho! Careful… !”
Min Ha-yeon quickly lifted her bow and tried to put an arrow between his eyes, but….
Support position!!
“Quaaaaagh!!”
His body was already evaporating and disappearing before he could even hang an arrow on his bowstring.
Min Ha-yeon looked at Seong Su-ho with a sad expression, and Seong Su-ho looked at Min Ha-yeon with an embarrassed expression.
“Uh… I fired the magic reflexively without even realizing it….”
“….”
“Sorry….”
“Huh….”
Min Ha-yeon unknowingly got upset, and despite Seong-su-ho’s apology, Min Ha-yeon turned her head and began to look beyond the darkness.
But just then, something started to catch her eye.
“What?”
Spirits basically just evaporated when they died and didn’t drop any items.
However, at the place where Ben Crash died, there was something shiny that didn’t match the atmosphere of this place at all.
Min Ha-yeon picked up the object and began to look closely at it.
The identity of the object….
‘… Mirror?’
It was an antique mirror the size of a palm.
And the moment you look in the mirror….
“Huh….”
Suddenly, the surroundings shook and dizziness began to set in.
But the vertigo didn’t last long.
Min Ha-yeon grabbed her head from a sudden headache and tried to bring her back to her senses when Min Ha-yeon heard Seong Soo-ho’s voice behind her with a howling.
(Ha Yeon-ah, are you okay?)
“Ah….”
Min Ha-yeon opened her mouth and was about to tell Seong Soo-ho that she was fine.
(Yeah, I’m fine.)
“… ?”
It was clearly her own voice.
By the way… It wasn’t a voice that came out of her own mouth.
Min Ha-yeon forced her to open her eyes and came back behind her.
And in Min Ha-yeon’s eyes….
“I… What is that?”
There was a huge mirror that wasn’t there before, and she looked down at herself from the other side of the mirror and raised the corners of her mouth… Hayeon Min replied.
(Don’t worry. It’s nothinghehe…)
