chapter 32
32 – If you go around the dungeon, you will get a reward
“Avoid my sister!”
“Tia!”
The moment the two ran out to protect each other, a golden aura rose like a blazing fire next to Baekho, who had jumped up.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa
“die!!!”
Tail’s golden aura fist hit the white tiger.
Kwaaang!!
“Kuaaa!!!”
The white tiger plummeted to the ground at great speed.
The shock must have been so great that he shuddered and could not move.
“Kurrukrukrukrukrukruk.”
Bloody saliva dripped frantically and I tried to get up to somehow survive, but my body couldn’t move from the spot as if it didn’t listen.
knock knock knock knock
The immobile Baekho lifted his head weakly at the sound of footsteps approaching him and looked at the approaching human.
“… stop resting.”
“Kurrr…”
As if he knew what Cecilia meant, Baekho tried to force himself up again.
burr burr burr burr
Seeing the white tiger trying to get up several times, Cecilia put on a gloomy expression for a moment, then raised her sword high.
Cloud-type Wu’s Sea of Clouds Break
woo woo woo
As the aura rises from Cecilia’s sword along with the sword, Baekho’s eyes can’t take his eyes off her figure.
Cecilia also made eye contact with the white tiger and whispered in a low voice as she swung her sword.
“I’m sorry human.”
a lot of words
As Cecilia’s sword passed through the white tiger’s neck, the white tiger’s head fell helplessly to the floor.
After staring at the white tiger’s head for a while, Cecilia put her sword into the scabbard and said.
“… it’s over.
hair stone
“sister!”
As Cecilia slumped into her seat, Tia hurried over to check on her condition.
“Gwa, are you okay, sister?”
“huh.”
As she talked with Cecilia with a smile as usual, Tia, who looked at her for a moment, began to shed tears.
“Huh.”
“Tia?”
“Uh, sister… I thought I was going to die… hehehe.”
“sorry.”
“aaang!”
Eventually, Tia, unable to hold back her tears, entered Cecilia’s arms and shed tears.
Cecilia gently hugged Tia and stroked her hair.
After watching the two for a while, Tail turned his gaze to Aren and Lucy.
“… Lucy.”
“Here you go.”
When Lucy came out carrying Aren who had passed out in the dust, Tails frowned as he glared at Aren.
“Did you pass out?”
“Yes, it seems you have used too many gifts.”
“I’m weak.”
After saying that, Tails started digging through his belongings.
The Advanced Potion was no longer there because Cecilia and Tail had used it up, but the Intermediate Potion still remained.
“Drink Lucy.”
“yes.”
Lucy was also sluggish due to the influence of Baekho’s breath.
It was only better than Cecilia and Tail, but since she couldn’t use her aura, she couldn’t block the breath at all and flew away.
After giving Lucy a potion, Tail took out another potion and started pouring it on Aren.
rrr
“… Te, Mr. Tail?”
“why?”
“Cheuk!”
When Tails poured the potion into Aren’s face, Aren, who was forced to get up because of the potion that went into his nose, coughed and stood up.
“Keheuk! Kkeheuk! What, what?”
“Rise up, you weakling.”
“No, this is a life saver.”
Aren glared at Tail and said, but Tail simply ignored it and handed out the potion to Cecilia.
“Senior. Have another one.”
“Yeah thanks.”
Tia, who had been crying at the sound of Tail’s voice, hurriedly ran away from Cecilia and began to open the lid of the potion so that she could drink it comfortably.
“Sister! Drink this!”
“huh.”
“Drink that and drink another!”
“huh.”
Cecilia drank the potions one after another, as Taa said, and lay down on the floor in a comfortable position.
No matter how advanced the potion, it was difficult to easily heal her serious injuries.
Tia, who had been watching Cecilia with a worried expression, looked away when she saw Aren approaching.
“Ah, Aren.”
“are you okay?”
When Aren spoke worriedly, Tia lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.
“Yeah, ah, that earlier…”
“It’s okay, are you surprised?”
Tia’s voice was weak, perhaps because she was sorry for slapping Aren.
Aren, who noticed that, said it was okay, and Tia raised her head and apologized once more.
“I’m sorry though, are you okay where you were hit?”
“It’s okay, you look pretty when you cry?”
“… Mr. Woo.”
When Aren said it in a joking tone, Tia smiled slightly as if she felt more at ease.
Aren, who smiled at her like that, looked at Cecilia this time and asked.
“are you okay?”
“huh.”
“It’s a lie.”
“… huh.”
“Kick.”
Aren smiled again and said Cecilia avoided him as he tried to hold his hand to heal her.
“are you okay.”
“It still hurts.”
“You’re having a hard time too.”
“Not better than my sister.”
When Aren forcibly took her hand, Cecilia did not avoid it this time, but only stared blankly at Aren.
Either way, Aren once again started tending to Cecilia’s wounds.
“Uh, how are you?”
When Tia asked in a trembling voice, Aren smiled brightly as if he was okay.
“It’s okay, whoever did it, the wound is almost healed.”
“Whoa, is that so?”
Only then did Tia take a deep breath, as if relieved, and sit in a comfortable position.
“hey.”
Then, after looking around for a while, Tayal approached Aren and said,
“There’s a door over there.”
“Again? I’m fed up with doors now.”
“No, there was no trace this time, probably the last room in the dungeon.”
“Go~Rae~?”
Aren’s voice rose and began to raise the tension.
Tail simply ignored them and gathered the party.
“Lucy! Come this way!”
“yes!”
Lucy, who had been looking around at Tail’s words, also came over to the party and sat down.
“Ah~ I thought I was really going to die this time.”
Tia said, trembling as if she remembered her fight with Baekho.
Looking at her like that, Aren smiled and said.
“I still live thanks to you.”
“… Huh?”
“We would have lost if it wasn’t for you, right?”
When Aren looked around the party as if seeking agreement, Tail and Lucy immediately nodded.
Cecilia was smiling prettiest than ever and looking proudly at her sister.
Tia, who noticed her gaze, dyed her face red as if she was embarrassed, and lowered her head.
“What, what! Suddenly embarrassed, and if Aren hadn’t helped me…”
“No, that doesn’t matter.”
Aren displayed strict stance.
“If only 3 people entered this dungeon in the first place, this expedition would have failed? Ha! I don’t know who brought it, but bringing the Cloud Sisters was a godsend! Isn’t it!!?”
“……”
“Puhahahahaha!”
When Aren spoke frankly while looking at the tail, this time he didn’t even make eye contact with Aren, as if he really had nothing to say.
Seeing this, Tia laughed as if she had burst out laughing, and the other female members also started to laugh a little.
After resting for a while, Tail stood up and said,
“Now stop moving.”
“okay.”
At Tail’s words, the party got up one by one and walked past the body of the white tiger to the treasure house.
“But can I leave this white tiger alone?”
Suddenly, Tia looked at Baekho’s corpse and said,
If someone who enters this dungeon sees Baekho’s corpse and spreads rumors, this will become a problem.
It will undoubtedly move in the Holy Land, and you can also hold Aren’s party accountable.
After thinking for a while, Tail approached the corpse and began to take out the artifact that created the embers.
“It’s better to burn the body here.”
“… yes”
Tia looked at the body of the white tiger with a sad expression for a moment.
This white tiger was probably captured by the great mage’s personal greed and went through various experiments.
Besides, judging from the state of this dungeon, it must have been sealed here for decades.
Baekho’s freedom as well as his time and life came to an end only because of the great mage’s greed.
Tia felt sorry for a moment, but she struggled to overcome her gloom when she remembered the near death of her sister.
As Tail approached to burn the body of the white tiger, he heard Aren’s voice.
“for a moment.”
“what?”
When the party members looked at Aren at the sudden restraint of Aren, Aren carefully opened his mouth.
“That white tiger… I think it’s alive?”
“…what?”
Tia looked at Aren as if she were talking nonsense.
Clearly, Baekho is dead.
Isn’t the severed head of the white tiger right next to it?
At that time, Aren slowly began to approach the white tiger’s corpse.
Then, as he looked back and forth at Baekho, Tail asked.
“What are you doing?”
“wait.”
After looking around for a moment, Aren drew his sword.
seuleung
“… Aren?”
Tia called out to Aren, who suddenly drew his sword, as if he was anxious, but Aren ignored him and swung his sword.
hooked!
“Aren! What are you doing!?”
When Aren inserted his sword into the side of the white tiger, Tia called for Aren in an angry voice, but he did not stop and opened the belly of the white tiger and put his hand into it.
Fu-wook
“…!?”
“…!?”
The group looked at Aren in amazement at Aren’s sudden eccentricity.
“why…!?”
Tia, who was so shocked that she couldn’t speak, opened her mouth wide when she saw the creature that came out of the belly of the white tiger.
“young!!?”
“Nonsense!”
“…how are you still alive?”
Tia and Lucy screamed like screams, and Tail glared at the white tiger’s cub in disapproval.
Unlike its mother, it was a white tiger with pure white fur without any stains.
Of course, Aren was also surprised.
‘…… Really great?’
This is a phenomenon that cannot be explained scientifically.
It is said that this is a magical world, but even Aren is enchanted when he sees the mystery of life like this.
As the party gathered to take a closer look at the white tiger’s calf, Aren began to examine the condition by wiping foreign substances on the white tiger.
‘… I can’t do it.’
As Aren’s expression hardened as he watched the shore carefully, Cecilia noticed the reaction and asked,
“what’s the matter?”
“……”
When Aren didn’t answer, Tia asked.
“Why? What happened?”
When Tia asked in an anxious voice, Aren smiled bitterly and said:
“He’s dying.”
“what!?”
My heartbeat is getting weaker and weaker.
I wondered if it had been damaged in the battle with the mother, so I turned the current inside my body, but I couldn’t see any damage.
I can’t save it because I don’t know the cause.
After hearing what Aren had to say, Tail spoke calmly.
“It’s a miracle that he’s alive in the first place. It’s even more amazing that he didn’t abort due to the previous battle.”
“…Do you really have to say that?”
Tia, who heard Tail’s words, glared at him and said, but Tail calmly replied.
“Have you really forgotten?”
“what?”
“We have killed that baby’s mother.”
“……”
Whatever the reason, it was Aren’s party that killed the cub’s mother.
Knowing that, Tia couldn’t say anything and just glared at Tail. He seemed to have lost interest, so he turned his head and walked towards the warehouse.
“Coming to think of it, it’s still too early to burn the corpses. I don’t know how many there are in the treasure house, so I’ll start with the storage.”
“Ah… over there.”
When Tail moved to the warehouse without hesitation, Lucy started to wander around without being able to do this or that.
Aren sighed deeply, took the baby in his arms, and walked towards the warehouse.
“For now, let’s go into the storage room, because standing here won’t do anything.”
“… okay.”
Tia answered in a low-pitched voice and moved toward the warehouse.
Aren was about to follow, but Cecilia suddenly grabbed Aren and said,
“Aren.”
“why?”
“Can I hug you?”
“… will you?”
Cecilia nodded and carefully accepted the pup.
Then, when he just looked at the baby with an expressionless expression, Aren looked at it for a while and said,
“Let’s go too.”
“huh.”
When Aren and Cecilia also approached the warehouse, Tail, Lucy, and Tia were standing in front of the door, as if they hadn’t opened it yet.
“Why don’t you open it?”
“There was no device that stood out, but just in case, you open it.”
“… Why are you so confident?”
Aren was dumbfounded, but without saying a word, he approached the door and began to examine it.
“… there are no devices.”

After confirmation, Aren opened the door without hesitation and cast his gaze over the door.
and screamed
“Wowaaa!!!”
