Chapter 492 – 492. God’s Atlantis
492. God’s Atlantis
We found a fountain that spewed dark green water instead of clear water. A terrible liquid from the fountain was flowing slowly in the aqueduct.
“It’s a swamp fountain. Everyone, put on the prepared gas mask.”
All at once, they took out gas masks from their bags and put them on their faces.
「Purification gas mask
Purify the air
Rank: C」
This is a custom made item for this occasion. It reached the rank, but after using it a few times, I had to throw it away.
There are two reasons to wear a gas mask.
One is to stop the pollutants coming from the swamp here. If you try to pass here without a gas mask, you will soon learn what the pain of rotting intestines is.
The other one.
“Ugh…. Bug! It’s disgusting! I know, but there are too many!”
Yu Seo-hee hated it and held the special insecticide spray she had prepared in both her hands and started spraying it in all directions. Gut flies, cursed mosquitoes, parasitic moths, parasitic cockroaches, and all kinds of harmful insects die as soon as they come into contact with the pesticide.
The second reason to wear a gas mask is to avoid inhaling these deadly pesticides.
“Yoo Seo-hee! Don’t waste pesticides!”
Kang Myung-jin shouted. This is because quite a lot of money went into making this pesticide. To Kang Myung-jin, the legion master, it might have seemed like spraying money, not pesticides.
“Ah! Yes!”
“Don’t be too scared. You were a little too much.”
“I know. But Eugene… You didn’t need a spray?”
Paper weave. Dismissed! Dismissed!
The insects that came towards me were roasted with electricity on the way and fell to the floor. An electric field applied with thunderbolt was spread around me.
“What about the spray you got the other day? If you don’t need it, give it to me.”
“Uh… It? Left it behind I forgot.”
“Yes? If Myeong-jin finds out, he will get angry right away.”
“It is a secret. Secret. But why do you have two? Wasn’t it one per person?”
“I got it because there was something left. Can I get you one? If you get caught by Myeong-jin, it’s a big deal.”
“Uh. Give me one.”
I got annoyed while spraying, so I just deployed the electric field and walked.
“Sung Yujin! Don’t waste your mana, use the spray! Spray!”
“Okay. Okay.”
In the end, I heard Kang Myung-jin’s nagging.
“…… But isn’t it more economical to drink mana potions than to use spray?”
“That… Right. Use the spray though. The mental fatigue accumulated while using abilities cannot be recovered even with potions.”
“If you say that, then I have nothing to say.”
I silently sprayed the bugs.
Worms fall off the storm water.
I glanced over to the side.
‘Yuria must have found the right path, right?’
It’s not like the wasteland before, so I don’t really need a compass, but I’m a bit uneasy.
‘Ah. I want to eat the sleeping princess quickly.’
•••
“Good work. You can take off your gas mask now. Let’s take a little rest here.”
After leaving the swamp fountain area, we immediately took off our gas masks. Most of them were sweaty on their heads. The gentle wind that was blowing was refreshing.
Legion members did not look back. Because no one wants to go back to a place full of worms.
I looked straight ahead.
It was a garden full of thorns. It was not easy to even move unless something was done with the thorny vines. Here, inevitably, the thorny vines must be dealt with somehow.
‘I might find traces of Yuria who left here first.’
Kang Myung-jin, who saw the traces of someone going ahead, would surely think it was strange. You may think that the strategy has been leaked.
‘I have no choice but to accept that much.’
After filling our stomachs with the food we prepared, we stood in front of the thorny vine.
If you look closely, you can see that the thorny vines are moving as if they are alive. If you make a momentary mistake and fall down on a thorny vine, the thorny vine will immediately tighten your body and grind your whole body into sharp thorns.
Like a blender.
“… I can’t get ahead and explore here. There are roads in the complicated mountains and jungles, but there are no roads in those thorny vines.”
Lilsne surrendered. That’s the right decision. If you rush into the thorny vine, you won’t even be able to find a bone.
However, Kang Myung-jin was not shaken in the slightest. He was also aware of the existence of thorny vines.
“If there is no road, just make a road.”
He took out a torch and an axe.
Everyone put on a look that something was coming.
It is the beginning of labor.
•••
“Eheradiya~!”
I spat out meaningless words and vigorously swung the ax heated with fire.
Kwajik!
Thorn vines break easily. It’s harder than steel, but it’s very weak against fire, probably because it’s a plant.
“Great. That stamina that never ends… I think I know why Master believes in Seong Yu-jin.”
Ji Young-bin said next to me.
Currently, Ji Young-bin and I were building a road by removing thorny vines. Everyone else is resting in the wide area in the back.
“… It is because of his high level of ability.”
“Everyone knows that it is not easy to increase one’s ability level. I’m going to formally say goodbye this time. This is Ji Young-bin.”
“This is Seong Eugene.”
I said bluntly. I had no intention of being friends with a man. But Ji Young-bin seemed different.
Haha. The atmosphere is cold. Didn’t look like that…. Maybe you don’t like me? From Sung Yu-jin’s point of view, I am a rolling stone.”
“It’s not like that. I’m a bit shy.”
“Fortunately, the. Oh, I was working as a mercenary. I met Master by chance at a tavern like fate.”
Ji Young-bin started talking about Mi-joo. Contrary to her bear-like appearance, she was very talkative. I heard with one ear, let it out with the other, and swung the axe.
However, a name that could not be easily ignored came out of his mouth.
“Are Seong Yu-jin and Yoo Seo-hee lovers?”
The ax strike stopped for a moment.
Looking back, Ji Young-bin’s face was very serious. Perhaps this question is the main point.
“Suddenly, what question is that?”
“I will tell you the truth. I fell in love at first sight when I saw Yoo Seo-hee. The moment she saw it, her heart skipped a beat. By the way… Yoo Seo-hee always looked only at you.”
“To ask me that question… You seem to think I’m not in a relationship.”
“It’s because it’s ambiguous. Sometimes they look like lovers, other times they look like close friends. I also asked others. The Master seemed not interested and said to ask directly, and Minjeong said that they were in a relationship. However, she insisted that In-ha was not a lover. For some reason, Seohyun Joo glared at me and ignored me, and Seohee Yoo… She hasn’t asked yet.”
I pondered for a moment.
What should I answer? Are you a lover? There were pros and cons. The advantage is that Ji Young-bin doesn’t bother her, and the downside is that she may have trouble flirting with other women.
“Although Seo-hee and I are close, we are not lovers.”
At my answer, Jiyoungbin’s face widened.
“Okay! Thanks for the reply!”
“Are you that happy?”
“If you’re not in a relationship, doesn’t that mean I’ve got a chance!”
“Seohee doesn’t seem to have much interest in Youngbin.”
“There is no tree that cannot be felled by 10 strikes, and a courageous person wins a beauty! I believe them!”
Ji Young-bin’s eyes are shining brightly. She knew it, but she’s the annoying type. It is also the type that is easy to use.
“Anyway, try your best.”
“Sung Yujin! Could you please help me?!”
“Please ask Inha Yoo rather than me.”
“Inha just cut it off and told me to take care of it. He didn’t seem to have any intention of helping. Sung Yujin! Please! Please!”
That Yu Seo-hee is my exclusive pub, isn’t it?
The word rises to the end of the throat and then goes down.
“Seohee’s ideal type is a man with good stamina.”
“… Health? Fortunately, the! I am confident in my stamina! Right now, I’m still behind Seong Yu-jin and Master, but I will definitely develop my stamina and become a man suitable for Yoo Seo-hee!”
Ji Young-bin shouted at her and threw an axe.
‘The stamina I’m talking about is the stamina in bed….’
Later, when Ji Young-bin became useless. I have to tell you the reality.
And after an hour, we finally arrived at Area 6,333, the King’s Castle.
•••
After breaking up with Sung Eugene, Yuria took a walk in the garden. She deliberately refused to take the easy road and walked on a dirt road full of dangerous plants. To leave as few traces as possible.
A plant stem emerged from the dirt and aimed at her ankle. However, as if YuRia knew it, she leisurely dodged the stem and ran forward.
If a plant monster blocks your way, you pass by without avoiding it. Even so, she is on the way back so that her traffic lines do not overlap with the A-Plan Legion. If the lines overlap, traces may remain and be discovered. This plan must be done swiftly and covertly.
Puff, suck.
The tree in front of her moves and blocks her path. YuRia passed dozens of tree branches rushing towards her, evading them all without changing their complexion. The same goes for other plant-type monsters.
Nothing but plants could stop her legs. In case of emergency, she used shadow movement despite the mana consumption.
There was something else that bothered YuRia.
「The system acknowledges your existence.」
「Are you human? If you affirm, I will grant you the power of the system.”
Yuria ignored the message from her system as if it were natural.
System power? It must be referring to the unique characteristics and abilities that Seong Yu-jin uses in this world.
Yuria thought that the strength she had was enough for her. She also goes back to her original world after 30 days. It would be comfortable to have her, but she is Yuria and she can’t trust the system.
「The king of the demonic sky is sending you a message.」
“Where are you from? I want to know where you come from.”
“Let’s make a deal. Give me strength The price is your true identity.”
“You have great talent.”
“What do you want?”
“Looking at it earlier, it seems like you love Seong Yu-jin… I’ll let you have Sung Eugene.”
Yuria’s legs, which had been moving without rest, stopped.
She looked up at the sky. Her eyes shine sharply.
“Please. Please shut up. I am not free enough to deal with you.”
“I like you more and more.”
“Ruler. It is a gift for you.”
The space shuddered and a sword appeared and stuck into the floor.
It is a black sword that exudes gloomy energy.
A sword that can be called a demonic sword by anyone who sees it.
Detailed information about the sword could not be obtained. Because Yuria doesn’t have the power of the system.
Yuria felt the overwhelming power felt from her sword. Just by holding that sword, an ordinary person would be able to gain power that could not be obtained even if they devoted their whole lives.
But she wasn’t interested from start to finish. She passed by the sword.
「The king of demons has been caught illegally.」
「Penalty will be imposed on the king of demons.」
“No, wait. It’s a joke. Joke. As a result, nothing happened. This penalty is too much. I appeal against the judgment.”
「The objection is dismissed and a penalty is added.」
“What a shame?! What did I do?!」
“Don’t ignore the system. Add a penalty.”
Yuria was annoyed by the message window that appeared in front of her eyes. She did, but she had no way to get rid of it, so she was terrified and moved again.
She soon found a canal through which the swamp ran. She immediately pulled out of the shadows, put on her gas mask, and held her insecticide spray in her hand. She chooses an inconspicuous path and runs while spraying insecticide.
She and she arrived at a place with densely packed thorny vines. YuRia quietly restored her physical strength.
Seong Yu-jin taught Yuria how to attack. It’s time consuming and difficult, but a safe way to get there.
But that way leaves traces.
Yuria narrowed her eyes and inspected her thorny vine.
A black aura crept over her shoes. Having finished her preparations, she ran through her thorny vines. As if the thorny vines were waiting, they tightened. But she was already moving forward. Yuria’s running speed was faster than the reaction of the thorny vines.
Yuria opened her mouth.
She is out of breath, and beads of sweat run down her forehead.
Her stamina, which she had managed perfectly until now, began to shake. Her legs got heavier, but she couldn’t stop.
And she broke through the thorny vine.
