chapter 430
430 – Whistling Sound
Rattling─!
At some point, the summoning door opened without fail, and I waved my hand at the pieces of Cardinite that were still to be mined and said goodbye to the nameless dungeon.
‘Accidental scholar… Will I see you again next time?’
With a bit of regret, the door to summons closes roughly.
Rattling-!
* * *
When Ilwol was digging up cardinite like a crazy person.
Yeonhee and her companions were swimming in the air on Geomryong’s back.
Hahait was really dangerous.”
“Whew, I almost died. Suddenly, Luclakota asked me what I was talking about!”
“But it’s still better than an ogre…”
“That’s true! There are too many.”
Lucracota is classified as the lowest level monster in B-class dungeons.
Even if it is the lowest rank, it is definitely classified as Class B, and as it looks similar to a wild dog, it attacks in a pack, so Yeonhee and her colleagues had no choice but to evade into the sky on Geomryongi
Because it is a place dominated by huge trees, Geomryongi’s activities are limited. Fortunately, since Lucrakota could not climb trees, it was able to fly between the trees as if gliding with ease.
‘If I fought alone…’
Yeonhee felt a little disappointed, but that feeling soon disappeared.
If he had been alone, he would have been able to fight comfortably in the ‘Castle’ space and use the Alpha-level trio and other monsters, but he decided that it would be difficult to fight while protecting his colleagues.
‘It’s a problem because there are too many. Our children are at the top in individual value…’
The three fastest-growing Alpha-level players were already powerful enough to easily deal with Lucrakota, and Alpha Rakan in particular showed an amazing feat of taking on five of them at the same time alone.
If you add taunts and flying summons to them, they weren’t that difficult.
However, no matter how high your combat power is, it is difficult to handle hundreds of them coming at you like waves at the same time.
Yeonhee was realizing that there was no business in page count.
On the ground, only ‘Embodiment’, which was dealing with immune to physical attacks, was with Lucrakota. Perhaps because ‘Embodiment’ had also grown, the number of times it attacked randomly and was caught by the entity seemed to have decreased.
“Wow, look at those ugly faces. “I like dogs, but not them.”
‘Lucracota’, which had the size of a tiger, enjoyed group hunting, and was so vicious that hunters were sick of it because of its tenacity toward its prey.
The dog’s head, the lush mane that extends arbitrarily around the neck, the cat’s body with a sharp curve that contrasts with the head, the mouth torn below the ears, and the misaligned teeth that look like they will never fall out once bitten.< Br﹥
“I really hate it. I hate it the most when my three eyes are twisted and looking in different directions.”
“It really gives me goosebumps to see you running towards me with such a skinny body. I guess you’re very hungry!”
“We’re not going to stick together like that forever. When scouting, we’ll be split into several teams, so let’s take a shot then.”
“Oh, okay. Yeonhee. You should try it out too.”
“I’m being defeated by a B-class monster.”
It could be said to be a strange thing for such a monster to appear in a dungeon designed to gradually become stronger, but Yeonhee thought that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to gain experience with Lucrakota.
And when the guys began to split into five groups as expected, Yeonhee and her colleagues took advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the remaining group.
Because I was preparing by gathering a lot of magical power, I was able to attack quite powerfully first. Somehow I was able to subdue the first group.
However, as the group of lucrakotas that came after smelling blood added one by one, they held on and eventually ran away into the sky again.
By repeating this several times, we were finally able to annihilate the group of lucrakota that had dyed the entire area pitch black.
“Do you think other places in the dungeon would be okay?”
“Well… There are no other parties within earshot! But other than that, I don’t know.”
“I see. Ugh- without Ilwol, my field of vision is so narrow and unpredictable. It’s so frustrating.”
Yeonhee also agreed.
In some ways, the part where Ilwol’s absence was most felt was the reconnaissance and exploration part.
A deceptive ability to always detect the enemy’s presence in advance and attack at a time when the enemy is not aware of it.
‘Couldn’t I also use Ilwol’s abilities…’
As Yeonhee spent less time with Ilwol, her thoughts began to change in that direction.
Yeonhee comes out of the expedition gate after completing a rather difficult.
She expanded a lot of her magical energy to quickly send away her stumbling colleagues, and easily eluded the reporters waiting to interview her.
She had some alone time for the first time in a long time.
Since I always wanted to play with Ilwol, I wanted to spend time thinking about how to grow in the future.
“I’m 80, I’m already level 80. Hehe. I guess I’ve become an advanced hunter too…”
Perhaps thanks to her capture of multiple rooks, she easily crossed the threshold of 9, which seemed far away, and found herself humming a song.
She walked alone for about 10 minutes and suddenly stopped.
“Ugh… I can’t do that.”
Yeonhee could not bear it anymore and she summoned Ilwol.
Rattling──!
Ilwol slowly walks out of the huge summoning gate.
For some reason, Ilwol’s body was covered in a lot of dust.
“Tick, tick, tick.”
Hehe- I don’t know. I held out for ten minutes!”
“Just?”
When I threw an unknown word at Il-Wol, who came out of the summoning gate, it was fun to see his confused reaction every time.
“But why is your body so dirty? Where did you roll on the ground?”
In response to the question, Ilwol shows a motion of diligently shoveling.
“··· What is that? How about just turning into a human?”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
At Yeonhee’s request, Ilwol activated [Mimicking] And returned to human form.
“Wow, you’re so pretty today too.”
Yeonhee said things a man would normally say to a woman without realizing it.
As soon as Il-wol came out, she patted Yeon-hee on the head and explored the surroundings.
“You managed to call me knowing there was no one around?”
“I have that feeling too.”
“You’re all grown up, our Yeonhee. Come here.”
“Ungh…”
The two looked at each other in silence, kissed for a moment, put their foreheads together, laughed, and then hugged each other tightly.
“Shall we go soon? “I want to walk a bit today.”
“So then. Did anything happen?”
“No- Lucracotta suddenly appeared today-“
Yeonhee tells the story of how hard she went through with her colleagues today.
Eyes filled with purple light sparkle like the Milky Way.
Ilwol silently listened to her story and tried to agree with her.
How many minutes did it take to walk like that? Ilwol’s shoulders shook greatly at the unfamiliar sensation.
Whirling~ Whirring~
“─?!”
A strange whistling sound heard from somewhere.
Then there was a flash of light, and in an instant, the two people disappeared without a trace.
* * *
Yeonhee and I were being transported somewhere.
Lights of five brilliant colors shot out from all directions, and the feeling of rolling around in a dark cave continued for a long time.
What on earth happened to us?
‘The sound of a whistle… I see. Did the head of the ‘province’ finally do something?’
Fortunately, Yeonhee was held by me in an unconscious state.
It must be strange for me to remain conscious in a void filled with such terrible chaos.
‘··· I happened to be summoned in a state of [Mimicry]. The mimicry doesn’t even work out, does it? Other skills don’t work either? Damn it.’
Today, I often encounter situations where I cannot use my abilities as I want.
The masked ‘goblin’ obviously handed me a ‘whistle’ and said it was just a means of communication, but I didn’t really believe that either.
However, I had no idea that it was an item hiding this level of power. The ability to transfer using a void passage?
The item named Whistle had now gone from the bracelet shape I had first seen, and had changed into a cube divided into dozens of pieces, leading me and Yeonhee to go somewhere.
‘Was there some kind of hidden condition that triggered something? There was nothing special in the message window.’
I’m a very skeptical person, so I tried a lot of things, but there was nothing special about this item.
Nevertheless, the fact that it was activated suddenly means that there was some condition.
For example, when Yeonhee’s ability exceeds a certain level?
‘It’s a higher quality item than I thought. Perhaps, in order to know the value of this item, you would need a special ability such as [Special Emotion]. It was an item given to me by a ‘goblin’ guy, but it was a mistake to trust the explanation of the system too much.’
After hitting my head a few times and blaming myself, I immediately felt a strange sensation.
‘I think it will arrive soon. I don’t know why, but I know.’
Is it because I gained the possibility of emptiness?
When I got on the elevator and felt like I was about to reach my target floor, I took out the earrings floating in my helmet and gently squeezed them with my hand.
[Enchanted droplets of a forgotten ancient kingdom]
– Magic attribute +550
– Perk: Instantly transport your partner to the safest location you can think of. Your partner becomes [Invincible] For one hour. Your partner will be in a [Statue] State for a day.
– Number of times perk can be used: 5
I can’t take Yeonhee to a dangerous place.
Who knows whether the skills will go wild as soon as you arrive?
I activated the earring without hesitation.
The earrings remained faithful to their role even after waking up from a long sleep.
When the will to send Yeonhee to a safe place was expressed, the earrings immediately started working.
Woooooung──!!
‘Whistle’, who was leading us, had a brief power struggle with ‘Earrings’ who was trying to take Yeonhee out, but he must have used up all his strength in bringing us this far, so he eventually opened the way for ‘Earrings’ ‘ ‘.
Soon, Yeonhee scattered from my arms, became a small particle of light, and was sucked into the circular path made by the earring.
‘Hmm… I don’t know if Yeonhee will wake up and be surprised.’
I sent it to the safest place I thought, but it was a bit delicate so I couldn’t help but worry.
Still, it would be much better than leaving it in our world where only Jogi exists.
A place with lively trees.
With the help of the earrings, Yeonhee will definitely be able to go there.
However, I think I will have to think about what to do to get Yeonhee out at that time.
As I was watching Yeonhee moving away, my perspective changed and a huge sense of space came to me.
‘This is the first time I’ve been to this place without having to search through my memories.’
In a huge space painted entirely in mint, an incongruous green garden is decorated. There were dozens of masked people there staring at me.
“··· What are you looking at?”
At my exciting first words, the shoulders of the masked ‘goblin’ shake greatly.
They burst out laughing as they say, but they didn’t make any noise or laugh.
And then someone stepped in front of them and was horrified when they saw me.
“What, what, what!! What are you?! What about Lee Yeon-hee? Where is she going… Oh, no, wait a minute.”
A woman, or should I say a girl, whose face I have never seen before.
A woman with a youthful face and small body, as if she had just taken off her elementary school clothes, and dark green eyes, was looking at me with astonished eyes.
She was tearing her hair out and saying incomprehensible things like ‘How could this happen!’, ‘This is ridiculous!’, And ‘I can’t keep being this wrong…’ ‘ ‘.
After hearing those words, I immediately knew what that girl was.
