chapter 212 – First Sight(8)
The moment the bug was slain, the gate closed. Looking closely, Kang Shin-hyuk noticed the body of the insect was mixed with parts of different monsters. Perhaps this worm could synthesize with other monsters.
In other words, this bug had absorbed the gate's boss, so killing it had cleared thegate.
"…"
"…" This was why the girl in front of him was in danger of getting killed after being trapped in thegate.
'Okay, let's run away.' Even now, he didn't regret killing Oh Joo-young, the traitor of mankind, but he couldn't casually say hello while facing his daughter.
So he tried to activate his skill and quickly follow the trail to the next gate, but Oh Hye-na placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Wait."
"It's an emergency, so if you have something to say, do itlater."
"Ah…" Kang Shin-hyuk successfully escaped, moving to another gate instantly.
He had to expend a great deal of spiritual power and his Golden Dragon energy to do so, but he still had plenty left to stab the insect that appeared beforehim.
-Member.
Fortunately, there were no people or bodies around. Either it had yet to find any survivors, or there were none in the gate in the first place.
However, when he ran towards the bug in front of him with that in mind, the administrator's message appeared beforehim.
-That foxfollowed.
He didn't know it was possible, but he put away the sword as soon as he saw the message. He couldn't casually swing that sword around in public; otherwise, he would be revealed as Kang Shin-hyuk.
Instead, he used his soul connectors to wrap up the insect and cut them down with a sickle filled with soul poison.
Then, glancing back as he recovered the body, Oh Hye-na was standing there, her eyes cold.
"…"
"Wait, how didyou…"
"That's also what I want toask."
"I grabbed your shoulder, then the landscape in front of me shifted." Kang Shin-hyuk slapped hisforehead.
'I felt like that took a lot of energy out of me.
It was because I moved with another person.' He was still inexperienced in operating the skill, so he accidentally targeted someone in contact with him as well. However, if he didn't do that, he was liable to show up at his destination naked, so he had to include it all. Once he improved in using his skill, he could reduce such errors.
"This gate isn't very dangerous, so go out on your own.
I'm moving to the nextone."
"What?!" The distance between the two gates wasn't long, so it wasn't difficult to leave the gate.
He shook off Oh Hye-na, who watched him with an indescribable expression, then moved through space again before contacting Eunah.
"Senior, I have the coordinates of the monsters."
[Tell me them right away.]
"They're at…" Following that, Shin Eunah was silent for a brief moment as she relayed the coordinates to severalothers.
[Did you awaken the spatial movement trait?
How did you read the coordinates so accurately?]
"It's similar. I'll tell you in a little bit."
[Yes!]
As before, he went through and constrained the enemy with his thread.
