Hell (5)
[I’ll have to prepare soon.]
“What do you have to prepare?”
I picked up the backpack I had left next to the holy sword. It felt as heavy as it was inflated, but this is a magic backpack enchanted with the highest level of space magic.
‘It’s not a space class, but it is.’
I opened the backpack and turned it upside down. Then, rainwater began to pour out in quantities greater than its volume. Food, other clothes and consumables, and even weapon cases. Items larger than the size of the backpack piled up on the floor.
It may seem difficult to take out if such a large amount is in the magic backpack, but if the user recognizes an object and puts his or her hand in it, it will be caught from there.
‘I did everything you asked me to prepare.’
I checked again step by step, but nothing was missing. All these things were prepared by Black Hawk.
How much is it all together? Since it is a sponsorship to the end, it should be possible to return everything else as much as possible, even if you exclude your belongings.
Especially this backpack.
The low-grade magic backpack that the academy lends is tens of millions of won, but I think this might be in the billions. I don’t know if Ryu Seo-yeon is different, but when it comes to backpacks, she even told me to take good care of it…
Well, everyone else got it, so I guess I’ll just have to take care of myself.
‘By the way, I didn’t ask if I got it from Riel.’
I wouldn’t be able to keep in touch with Drakan and Ryu Seo-yeon. It may have been that Layette took it and came to Yoosung Academy today.
It would have been nice to have borrowed the subspace from Beatrice, but the subspace does not work exceptionally in the Hell Road.
Hell is a kind of survival zone.
If there is an item window called subspace in such a place, the difficulty of survival will drop sharply.
‘Still, this is enough.’
The goal is not to attack the Hell Road, but to the beautiful Hector.
Currently, Arihan Hector still has the wounds he received from the Holy Sword. Since I know Jiri, the holy sword should follow the traces of divine power left in the wound.
Now that the time has come, I put on the expensive equipment I had been purchasing. I can feel my abilities rising little by little. One after another, I grabbed my backpack and holy sword and went out the door.
[Quiet.]
Since it was a weekday, classes were in progress, so the hallway of the dormitory was quiet.
[Kiyooing for you to do!
fuck off.
Hearing the cries of the holy sword, I went out of the dormitory and walked towards the gate. It was lunchtime, so I often saw aspiring heroes walking around.
Before long, near the school gate, Drakhan wearing a layered mask and a mask, and Hong Jae-yu began to appear.
“Ah, Seo-Han. did you come?”
Layette heard my voice and turned around.
Drakhan next to me looked at me and nodded my head, and I nodded to greet me.
For a moment, I wondered where Riel was, but it was tied around Drakhan’s waist in the form of a sword. She seems to have turned into a weapon in advance because she is also an outsider and has an eye-catching appearance.
“What about Arwell?”
But Arwell was nowhere to be seen. When I asked Hong Jae-yu, he shook his head.
“I don’t know. Wasn’t he coming with you?”
“I thought you’d be here too.”
It was Riel who was with us until the last day yesterday… but I don’t know because we didn’t stay all night. I hope you are still sleeping
When I took out my smartphone to make a call, the system immediately came to mind.
[Sharon Canisil’s favorability increase increases, feels better, ??]
Why is Carnisil still active?
Looking around, I noticed blue hair from the other side. And next to him, he saw Canisil walking with Arwell. The two wanted to have a conversation, but soon broke up and Arwell ran towards them.
“Forgive me for being late···.”
When Arwell, who had jumped up, bowed his head and apologized, Layette waved his hand.
“We came early, not late. Is there anything that I missed because I came more quickly than that?”
“yes. I brought everything. How are you two?”
Arwell greeted Drakhan and Hong Jae-yu who were next to him. and looked back to me
“How is Seo Ji-han’s condition?”
“I am perfect. …before that, how did you get to know him?”
“Yes? Oh, you mean Canis?”
Arwell said with a sly smile.
“We just happened to be friends.”
“Um, why are you like that? Is it awkward for me to be acquainted with a junior?”
“uh? No, not that. I know a little about Canisil, too.”
“Aha. I recently found out.”
It was surprising. I’m sure Arwell and Canisil are already in a state of contact.
‘In the original work, Arwell and Kanisil, a sociability to a certain extent, got along well.’
It will be easy to make friends with the sad Kanisil, even if there is a chance. I wonder how you found out, but I’m not Noah Park, so it’s a bit odd to even ask that.
Layette checked the time and told us.
“Let’s stop chatting and move on. Are you okay too?”
Drakhan did not open his mouth and nodded to express his intention.
····I think I can say something.
The means of transportation to the tower was a bus.
It looks like it will attract attention, but it is common to see armed Awoken by bus.
When we arrived at our destination, we saw the 103rd tower that soared through the sky. However, it was a quiet scene with less people than before. This is because the dangerous situation of the tower and the reluctant rumors spread widely, and the number of Awakened people who came up for exploration has decreased.
Rather, he said that more and more people are moving outwards where the erosion is spreading. Still, I could often see a crowd moving towards the tower. Seeing that they were wearing a common cloak, they seemed to be guilds or mercenaries.
“Hey, Seo-Han.”
At that time, Jae-Yoo Hong, who got off the bus, approached me. He had a frown on his face, as if he had a strange problem.
“First of all, the teachers are accompanying me, so I follow along, but there is something I didn’t ask.”
“Why did you only give it to me and not the other guys in the special class?”
What kind of bullshit are you talking about out of nowhere?
“…it’s important.”
I don’t know what it is, but it seems to be an important issue for Hong Jae-yu.
‘It’s a little bit of a thing to say.’
That’s because Hong Jae-yu’s talent, demonic swordsmanship, is an ability suitable for the degree of Hell. But I can’t say that because I know it.
I hesitated for a moment to answer, so I said in a similar nuance.
“You are the only one who can instantly feel the power. Castell and Oh Youn-ha can’t even consider Drakhan’s personality, and Aiden is because of the manager. The other kids aren’t good enough to go underground yet. Above all else, is there a guy with skills stronger than your magic sword?”
“So why didn’t you call me because Noah Park wasn’t there?”
“no? If there was Noah Park, I would have recommended it. Hector doesn’t know anything about you.”
Hong Jae-yu seemed to have something more to say, but he nodded his head as if he was convinced, and passed me by. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
[From my point of view, you seem to think of the untitled young lady as your rival?]
“What is that? ······ah.”
Come to think of it, Hong Jae-yu was robbed of Park No-ah during the sports festival. After that, he didn’t even have a chance to revenge. ···Maybe he was hurt because he thought he was Park Noah’s pinch hitter.
‘You’re still a kid even when you’re in second grade?’
I do understand though. I also had a strong desire to win.
Then there was a groan from behind. When I turned around, I saw Ron Ahart wearing a robe rather than a suit after a long time.
“It’s been a while, Jihan-kun.”
Ahat also arrived just in time.
Layette, Ron Ahart, Riel Arwell, Lian Arwell, Hong Jae-yu.
It was the composition of these personnel including me going to catch the beautiful Hector. I asked as I watched Ahat and the others exchange light greetings.
“Oh, Mr. Did you miss anything?”
“okay. She took care of everything.”
“Then we will proceed immediately. Everyone, keep in mind what I said earlier.”
Even if I stayed here for a long time, there was nothing good to attract attention. I headed for the entrance to the basement of the tower ahead.
“By the way, Jihan-kun.”
Ahat, following from behind, spoke to me.
“It’s amazing that you know so well a secret that even the headmaster doesn’t know.”
At those words, I had to pause for a moment. Is it because you know a little about the Hell Road? Ahat has always thought that there were a lot of questionable things about me, so this seemed to be an issue to be addressed.
“I said last time that the Holy Sword informed me.”
[···Eh. I?]
It was Arwell who stood up for my defense instead of me.
Arwell was the only one who knew some of my secrets while dealing with Irtish as a Fallen Hero. Although he mistook me for a personality similar to prophecy.
“…Is that so?”
“···Well. I see. “Jihan-kun, I’m sorry for suddenly asking.”
Ahat said awkwardly that Arwell would come forward. This is the first time Arwell has stepped forward, so it seems like he’s falling for it.
When I apologized, I quickly waved my hand.
“no. it’s okay.”
I’m glad I didn’t ask for more.
Arwell glanced at me and wrinkled one eye. Hopefully I’ll get help from Arwell. There’s a lot going on.
[Seo Seo-han. Did I really say that?]
In the meantime, he asked me if the holy sword was long or not.
[···There must have been a problem with my memory.]
I’m sorry, but I’d appreciate it if you misunderstood me like that.
I stood in front of the entrance before further delay. There was a hole with a long vertical gap. This was like a doorknob that opened the way to hell.
Noah Park was the only one who could open this in the original.
I needed a weapon man to make the key to enter the tower’s basement. Now, even though I could open Drakhan instead of me.
‘…and what will happen if I enter.’
In the end, Noah Park will not be able to go through the hell road to the true ending. She didn’t expect this to happen in which direction she would flow.
What is certain is that Park Noah’s inclination is not forcibly fixed as evil by not attacking the Hell Road.
For the difficulty of the world view, this might be the correct answer.
‘The situation of the tower is also in danger, but it is difficult to even cut the manager’s neck.’
I turned around and said to Ahat.
“Then, as I said, I would like to ask you for a moment.”
Ahat nodded and left the group for a moment.
The duration of the entrance to Hell Road is one hour. That time is enough time for the wizards of the tower as well as others to come. In order to prevent others from entering, Ahat had to block the entrance alone.
Drakhan’s personality would be perfect for neutralizing wizards, but no one knows that the ‘mage hunter’ is still alive.
You don’t know how this benefit might work, so it’s best to hide it as much as possible. After all, as long as the underground door is opened, it is clear that there will be a decisive battle with the tower forces.
“Mr. Drakan.”
Drakhan took out a soul iron from his bosom. I received it and put together what I originally had and Noah Park’s soul iron.
The soul iron pieces seemed to push each other at first, but then they blended into one mass.
[Special. 43 – The effect of ‘Master of Soul Season’ is activated.]
[Spirit stat increase, ‘key’]
A blue light appeared from Arwell, and the usual sword form was held in my hand.
I took a deep breath and slowly pushed Arwell into the gap. The gap was wide, so it wasn’t difficult to get in. And a huge soul iron flowed away.
As soon as Arwell rode into the crevice, the soul-cheol, who had been trembling for a while, began to take shape on its own, even without my intention.
It was seen that the gap was gradually filled with soul iron.
shudder. I immediately felt a grip on my hand. When you turn the Arwell slowly, the gap turns like a key. Gugu Palace! At the same time, a boundary was drawn on the dusty wall, and the ground began to rumble.
-@$!$%#!%$!#$#$$!$!!!!
As the door slowly opens, creepy screams pour out of the gap. The Awoken who were nearby covered their ears and looked at me.
“What, what? me!”
“The wall is open…. Maybe a new entrance?”
Whoa! As the Awakened Awoken, who noticed the abnormality, tried to approach the entrance, a sharp wind blocked them in front of them. Ahat, who was already preparing, spoke kindly to them.
“It is forbidden to approach this way. Unless you want to die.”
A mana rod was drawn from his arm, and the wind blew around him. Wind moving continuously in a certain line. It is a magic that forbids access. The moment you try to cross that line or touch it, it will be cut off by the wind.
Goo! When the door was completely opened, a sticky red mist was revealed to the naked eye. The screams coming from before are even more painfully audible. If you go inside, you will enter the Hell Road.
Everyone looked nervous at the evil energy flowing from Hell. said to those who hesitated.
“The tower would have noticed. Let’s go right in.”
“···under. Is it that I died and lived in a place like this for a while?”
It seemed that he was terrified by the unfamiliar sight. The first thing that moved was the layer. Drakhan followed him quietly.
Hong Jae-yu looked at me and hesitated for a moment, but as soon as he made a decision, he threw himself into the red mist.
[We go too.]
I pulled out Arwell, who became the key from the gap. Then the entrance slowly began to close. This entrance will be maintained for the next hour. Just before stepping into the red mist, I turned around and shouted.
“I’ll be waiting for you inside!”
Ahat must guard the entrance to Hell on his own here. Against the Awoken and the Wizards of the Tower that will soon appear. I don’t think there’s any need to worry about him.
[I’m nervous.]
Above all, I was not in a position to worry about Ahat.
Just like Ahat blocking the entrance to Hell Road.
…because we also had to protect the exit to the ground.
