Chapter 730 – 730. Yggdrasil (6)
I pressed both my temples with my index finger and thumb, enduring the rushing headache.
“Ha… What is this…”
After diligently hunting – the red crescent moon – the mid-autumn and mid-summer that should have been there had evaporated.
It was late because I was wandering around, but honestly, I didn’t understand.
I turned on the lights inside the cave and looked around.
And then I threw out some vague guesses.
“Could it be that Ga-gae went out here?”
Mid-autumn’s ability is foreknowledge.
Since the level is low, he said that there are some cases where he sees a crap future.
However, in the case of the ability to forcibly float, which is called definite prediction, it was said that it had a high accuracy.
What if Han Ga-eul had no choice but to run away after receiving a confirmed prediction?
“… No. Doesn’t that mean that the red crescent moon found out about this place?”
That makes no sense.
This was a secret place where Souta hid the item for months and no one found out.
Even when having sex with Han-ga-eul, it was a place where there was no problem because the soundproofing was good.
Suddenly discovering a place like this?
“I don’t think that makes sense…”
The reason I didn’t worry much even though I was away for 7 hours was because of the stability of this place.
This is not a place you would know just by passing by.
In particular, when searching for people, there is no fear of being caught because it gives less effort to observe the terrain…
“Did you get caught because you were really unlucky? Ha… For now, think about that part later and start looking for it in autumn…”
It was the moment I looked around and was about to leave the cave in a hurry.
Kudos!
“Huh?”
A sharp crunching sound came from under the shoe.
The sound was small, but it was a tingling sound that penetrated into the brain.
I checked under my shoes…
“… Why is it here again?”
It was the [Medusa’s Hair Paralysis Poison] That I presumably gave to Han Ga-eul.
There was no contents, but judging from the shape of the bottle, the one I handed over seemed correct.
“What I threw away after using it… Probably not.”
It can’t be.
If you are a human who understands the concept of glass, there are basic things you can learn.
The fact that when staying in a confined space, you shouldn’t break the glass.
There was no way that Han Ga-gaul, who was anxious about even having foreknowledge, would throw Yuri on the floor like this, easily causing a cut with just a light touch.
First of all, I didn’t think that Han-gaul broke this glass bottle on purpose.
I even considered the worst case.
“It could have been broken with the contents inside…”
And the last guess I’ve moved on to is…
“It means it happened in the middle of summer… That doesn’t even make sense…”
Medusa’s Hair Paralysis Poison lasts approximately 24 hours.
It felt more like a day than exactly 24 hours.
In the past, when playing with midsummer, there was no big problem if you inhaled it every 12 hours.
But now, 7 hours of the time I was away and about 2-3 hours of having sex with Han Ga-eul.
About 9-10 hours.
“… Was the amount you inhaled small at first?”
As I was thinking about it, my mind flashed.
“Oh, this is not a time to relax. Let’s go find it quickly.”
I wasn’t worried about mid-autumn, so I wasn’t thinking calmly in the cave.
I had to find a clue, so I thought it would be easier to find.
And there was one more important reason.
‘In the worst-case scenario, it would be good to keep in mind regression.’
If you do return, at least you have to reflect so that this situation does not happen again.
I immediately summoned Souta.
Souta, who was sweeping the floor with a broom, asked me with a sigh.
(…What happened again this time?)
Rather than being annoying, there was dissatisfaction with being called while doing other things.
I quickly explained the situation.
“Look for the two of them right now.”
(That much is not a problem.)
“For now, head over there.”
(Okay.)
Since Souta can move through walls, after identifying the direction I was going, I quickly circled around and decided to search the surroundings.
(Okay. Then go.)
At the same time as Souta disappeared, I immediately started searching.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have kept it in the agency even mid-fall, even if it was a little earlier…’
It wasn’t because I was bothered that I didn’t include Han Ga-eul in the agency.
It was because it was ambiguous to suddenly say, ‘Do you want to join my company?’ After having a relationship for the first time earlier.
As I touched my forehead, feeling the headache, Kang Han Na comforted me.
[No one could have predicted that this would happen in the first place.]
[You’re right. We also have a responsibility. If we meet this time, I think it would be better to put them in the affiliation.]
‘… Okay.’
To be honest, I felt sorry for both of them.
In the end, it happened because I was too complacent.
Even though I thought it was so safe, I even had insurance.
But things went wrong.
To be honest, I don’t like the return of Midsummer, but even if it does, I can pass it off as regret.
But what if something happened to Han Ga-eul?
I will live with the guilt for the rest of my life for the poor things that happened today.
Even if I return and the memories of mid-autumn are erased…
As I chewed my lips and searched the surroundings, Armonia made an offer to me.
[How about sending the rest of the ship to search?]
‘No. That’s absolutely not possible.’
If you call Lena, Viola, Beatrice, and Shiho, you will be able to quickly search the surroundings and find mid-autumn and mid-summer.
But if… What if, in the worst case, the midsummer returns while the four of you are here?
[You have to die twice anyway, right? I heard that it is impossible to die at once with the ghost’s escape skill?]
As Kang Han-na said, midsummer gets invincible for a while after dying.
And in the meantime, suicide is impossible.
In addition, my divine protection is the protection that informs of the death of midsummer.
By the way, this protection also sends me a notification when ghost escape is activated.
That is, it gives two warnings.
But…
‘I thought it was safe to make a mistake earlier, but it happened.’
[… But.]
I couldn’t possibly call the four of you here.
What if there is an ability to ignore Midsummer’s skill I don’t know about and kill him?
And what if the alarm doesn’t go off because of a mistake?
And what if a return to that state is made?
Beyond the unimaginable, a hellish situation will unfold before my eyes.
‘… Let’s look for it.’
I started to search the surroundings as I spoke through the communication.
At least the part I expected was the fact that I was looking forward to the possibility that Han Ga-eul was being forcibly dragged along.
If mid-autumn is being dragged by force, the movement will inevitably be slow…
While moving like that, Souta jumped out from the wall with a ‘pop’.
“Wow! It’s a blink…”
(Woah! I was surprised too… Not there. Come this way.)
Without even asking Souta if he had found it, I quickly started following him.
And the temperament window that can be seen at any moment.
=====
Verden
=====
=====
Mid autumn
=====
The temperament window of Verden and Mid-Autumn caught my eye.
I wondered if there were any additional people who I hadn’t registered the temperament window for, so I asked Souta…
(When I saw it, there was only one Red Crescent executive and two of your colleagues.)
“… How is the girl?”
When I asked with an anxious expression, Souta smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
(His hands and feet were tied, but it didn’t look like anything like you think.)
“Whew…”
In other words, it was a story that if only Verden was defeated, everything would go smoothly.
Although he had been beaten by Verden once because of memorization, Verden’s skill itself was one step below Yang Ji-hyun.
On top of that, with the [Coward’s Spell], Catching him was a piece of cake.
But I…
“If you get caught this time, you won’t go over really easily.”
He had no intention of sending him to the dream garden called Neo Niflheim.
As soon as the safety of mid-autumn and mid-summer is secured, we decided to let them taste the hell that exists in this world.
When the temperament window between Verden and Mid-Autumn reached almost the same, I approached the two using the [Coward’s Technique].
Seeing my disappearance, Souta marveled.
(Oh… Can you feel the crowd already on this street? It’s really amazing.)
After admiring that, Souta stopped and left the last words to me who couldn’t be seen.
(I’ll wait here. If I go again and get called, it’s annoying. I’ll check that you’ve solved it and go back.)
I didn’t respond to Souta, and headed straight to the place where mid-autumn was.
When I arrived in mid-autumn, the sight that caught my eye was…
“What the fuck… At this rate, dying to Seong Su-ho isn’t the problem, it looks like you’ll be kicked out of the organization.”
Verden was sitting on a rock muttering in a panicked voice.
And mid-autumn…
“Ha ha…”
He was lying on the floor with his hands and feet tied.
I let out a sigh of relief in the [Coward’s Spell] State.
‘Whew… Fortunately, nothing major happened.’
When I checked his condition, he had a big abrasion on his knee, but luckily, other than that, there didn’t seem to be any major problems.
I exhaled all the breath in my lungs and inhaled again, turning his head toward Verden.
“What the fuck… Should I really bow down to Yang Ji-hyun?”
Verden muttered to himself.
As soon as I saw him, I could feel a torrent of murderous desire rushing through my heart.
However, the anger could be calmed down with calm breathing.
‘It would be a waste if I just killed him.’
This is Yggdrasil.
When a dispute arises between normal summoners, the punishment is decided according to the standards of Yggdrasil.
But the opponent is the Red Summoner.
There is no law between a red summoner and a normal summoner.
Whatever happens between the two beings, Yggdrasil forgives everything.
It was the moment when I was thinking about how to cook and boil Verden like that.
Beep-beep-beep-beep
‘Uh!?’
An annoying ringing alarm started ringing in my ears.
And at the same time…
-Target (Midsummer) is dead!-
A death notification sound appeared before my eyes.
It wasn’t until I heard the alarm that I realized that there was no midsummer around.
‘What? ‘Where’s this bastard gone?’
[Think about that after saving Mid-Autumn. It’s the first death.]
Right now, in midsummer, [Ghost’s Flight] Must have been activated.
Midsummer was about 8 minutes of invincibility, and it was a story that if you die one more time, the return will proceed.
‘Eight minutes. In the meantime, let’s get this sorted out first.’
I thought so and looked at Verden and mid-autumn.
In both cases, thanks to the protection I possessed, time has stopped.
The blessing I had was the ability to stop the surrounding people for 10 seconds at the same time as a notification when Midsummer dies.
I shot arrows into Verden’s arms and legs with about 5 seconds remaining.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!
Verden, whose time had stopped, sat on the rock without changing a single expression.
And timeout.
“Help Yang Ji-hyun… ? Ah… Ahhh… Aaaaa!!!!!”
As Verden spoke, he screamed and rolled off the rock he was sitting on.
And as he rolled down, blood began to leak from the arrows stuck in his arms and legs.
“Moss is good! Fuck!!! What! What!!! Aaaaagh!”
And Verden wasn’t the only one who couldn’t understand this situation.
“What, what!?”
Han Ga-eul, in a state of acquiescence, was frightened by the sight of Verden, who had fallen in front of him, and rolled his body to move.
“Ahh! What, what!?”
I used my whole body to stop the rolling mid-fall and opened my mouth.
“Autumn, are you okay?”
“Oh, oh, oh, brother!?”
As I let go of her flustered mid-autumn, she hugged me in her arms and began to cry.
“Huh! Brother, I’m sorry! I am… I made a mistake…”
“Are you okay. Let’s calm down and deal with the first one. Where is midsummer?”
Concernedly, I asked where Midsummer was.
And Ga-eul gave me directions with her arms stretched out while holding me.
“A moment ago… I got hit by that Red Summoner’s sword earlier, and ran away!”
