Chapter 172 – District 3 (1)
21. District 3 (1)
[You have entered the longest fear, ‘Area 3’.]
“Whoa…”
The feeling of changing places in an instant was strange no matter when I experienced it. It was even more so if the place was a creepy dungeon, especially the deepest part of District 3.
“Is everyone okay?”
“Yes. It’s okay.”
“Are you okay.”
“I think it’s a bit cold… ?”
“Cold? Is it unbearable?”
“Um, should I say it’s not that my skin is cold, but that my bones are cold… Ugh, aren’t you? Kaya’s sister too?”
“I’m not even close to that.”
“I am really fine.”
“Um, I’m not even like that. Would you like to put on a robe for now?”
“Yeah, that should be it. Oooh, creepy.”
[The chill from extreme fear begins to eat away at the bodies of the warriors.]
[Shay mentality -0]
[Kaya mentality -4]
[Eugene mentality -5]
[Illumina mentality -6]
‘No, this is a bit.’
It was 3-0 here. No matter how much zone 3 it is, it is a safe zone. But as soon as I came in, I didn’t know it would turn out like this. We quickly lined up. As always, it was Shey-Kaya-Me-Illumina.
“Uh, uh…”
Behind her, Illumina could hear her sobbing as her body trembled. He shivered so much that his teeth chattered. It wasn’t something I could do. It wasn’t just a physical cold.
“Illumina.”
“Heh, uh, me, why, why am I doing this? Sorry. Now, hold on. Tea, I’ll try.”
“Ruler.”
I hugged Illumina, who was trembling as if my body couldn’t control it. I couldn’t feel Illumina’s body because of her armor, but I could feel her bewilderment and struggle.
“Hey, Hendrick.”
“I can bear it.”
“Ugh, yeah. Go, I’ll endure it.”
“It’s not your fault. This dungeon sucks.”
“That’s right, Illumina unnie. It’s not my sister’s fault, it’s just that we’re enduring it.”
“Illumina, you are normal. Me and Shay have dealt with heretics a lot, and she has been honored to have a goddess descend on her body, but she is more familiar with dungeons than Illumina. Keep your heart strong. Overcoming fear is the hope of being able to overcome it, and not letting go of that string.”
Shay hugged me while I was holding Illumina, and Kaya hugged me. In an instant, Illumina, surrounded by three heavily armed men, wiggled as she blushed. Her face was pale, but she thought she did well to comfort her, seeing that her complexion had returned to some extent.
“I-I’m fine now!”
“You don’t have to pretend that you’re okay with us. Because they are colleagues.”
“Ji, even if they say it’s really okay!”
Illumina seemed ashamed to be cared for like a child, as she was the tallest after me. She huffed and puffed out her crumpled robe, then stood there and looked at us with a grim expression.
“Are you not going?”
“Haha. It seems to be really okay.”
“That’s right!”
Her Illumina’s ears were flattened, her tail visible from the inside of her robes, and her limbs were still trembling slightly. But she respected her will. We couldn’t do anything more than this no matter what we wanted to do. Anyway, I had to take this into account and move on.
‘District 3. After, fuck.’
I recently went to Kaya’s hometown and there was an Ar incident, so I haven’t thought about The Long Terror for quite some time, but District 3 is really… It was a dog area.
District 1 is this lucky?
District 2 is fucking lucky!
District 3 is…
I just let out a sigh. After getting used to The Long Terror to some extent, I fell down the most in District 3. Area 1, where the clear angle is determined, was the second most common, and Area 2 had a relatively high clear rate. That’s what I’m going through now. It was very dangerous in District 2, but wasn’t there a time when you ‘nearly died’ like in District 1?
In District 1, I suffered from the game’s unkindness and lack of spiciness, and in District 2, I barely got used to it, but in District 3, I felt that the spicy taste was only for foreigners, and the nuclear spicy taste was suddenly presented.
‘This is not something a fool who couldn’t forget that shit-like spiciness and kept playing until he fell to this world.’
The specs that simply go up were also specs, but the monster combinations and patterns…
“We have to overcome everything.”
“Yes?”
“No, nothing. Let’s go.”
“Yes, chief. Let’s go, Shay.”
“Yes!”
Shay opened the exit. And the moment she got out of the 3-0, she felt a strange aura in front of her that was different from what she was feeling now.
“Back off!”
“Ah… !”
It was useless. I realized it the moment I encountered it. That this is not something that can be avoided probabilistically like a normal trap. It’s kind of like an event that always pops up, like a cutscene that comes out when you enter a boss room.
‘Is it the highest level of correction!’
Dark energy that could be seen with the naked eye permeated our bodies without a chance to escape.
“Ah… Captain… !”
“Kuk!”
“Ah, ah.”
“Kaya! Shay! Illumina!”
My eyesight turned black in an instant.
“Everyone, everyone, don’t panic and stay seated! Stay sane!”
“Captain! Sister Kaya! Illumina sister! Where are you in now!”
“Where are you all! Leader! Shay! Illumina! Respond!”
“Hendrick! Hey! Can’t you hear me? Sister! Shay!”
It wasn’t that I was hallucinating. I could hear the voices of my colleagues as clearly as if they were right next to me. But the conversation didn’t work. We were just talking to each other. I don’t know what the principle is. Nothing was visible. Worried, I stretched my arms back and forth, but nothing caught.
‘The voice sounds like it’s right next to me. Why?’
I wanted to move and check the situation, but it was likely that they overheard my words to stay. So I decided to stay in my seat and observe the situation. No matter how dog-fucked it is, even if it is the most difficult district 3, there will be no such nonsense as random instant death as soon as it comes out of 3-0 or random encroachment as soon as it comes out. Don’t panic and stay calm. I tried very hard to keep my words.
“… Fuck.”
However, the moment the voices of his colleagues disappeared one after another, the sandcastle-like composure was easily cracked. Are your co-workers terrified or shut up to keep calm? If that was the case, I wouldn’t have been more anxious. Just got cut off After a minute, only Kaya’s voice stopped, another minute later, Shay’s voice stopped, and finally Illumina’s voice cut off, and an unpleasant silence enveloped me.
“This, it’s like the death of a sutra, … , … ? … !!”
After another minute or so, I couldn’t even hear my voice. At this point, keeping your seat wasn’t a problem. I moved my leg No, I was trying to move.
‘What!’
There was no feeling of pushing on the floor. The moment I looked down, the floor was gone. Forced into place.
‘Fuck, what kind of bullshit is this from the start?’
I don’t know if it’s because I’m experienced, but I quickly regained my composure. In that sense, Shay will be able to remain calm to some extent. But the other two were the problem. Being conscious but without any senses, being unable to recognize time and space and knowing that he would die as soon as he let go of his consciousness, this more painful and painful feeling was never something that the criminal could endure.
Kaya still seems to have some tolerance, but Illumina was the problem. She wonders if she will be able to withstand the ‘pseudo-tear death’ phenomenon, which she is struggling with from the air at the beginning of District 3.
The speed of disappearance accelerated rapidly, and soon it became impossible to feel not only the voice and senses, but also the entire body.
‘Let’s not panic. Let’s not panic. Think of it as an essential event. Think of it as an unskippable cutscene. It won’t end here. Anything will change. Let’s stay calm. Let’s stay calm.’
Still, I trusted my colleagues. In order to help us, the two goddesses paid a price and even descended, but if I couldn’t endure this, I would have no face in seeing them. How long had it been since I controlled my heart by recalling the faces of my colleagues, Raella, and Justitia?
Suddenly, something appeared in front of my eyes.
‘Fuck… ?’
It was a shame that no training came out. I couldn’t help but swear when I saw what appeared in front of my eyes.
– Ah! Mmm! Mmm!
– …
A young woman in her late teens and early twenties, lying on a shabby blanket, looking down at a crying baby with cold eyes. At first she did not recognize who the baby was, but she recognized her instantly by looking at her face, especially her gaze.
Was the mother Then that crying baby is me.
Seeing that woman in itself is, of course, irritating and infuriating, but if that were all, I wouldn’t say anything.
That woman, she couldn’t tell, put her hand around the baby’s crying baby’s neck.
He began to squeeze the baby’s slender yet chubby neck, which could fit in one hand.
‘Me, me, me, bitch!’
No matter how violent and neglectful my birth mother was, even if she was a bitch in the world, I didn’t know that she would try to the last line of killing an ascendant.
‘No, no. This is a dungeon trick. There is also a chance that you will fuck up to touch my mentality…’
If that’s the case, the visions related to Kaya he had seen before were not lies. The moment I thought that, I felt even more fucked up.
– … Is half of it my blood?
– Yeah-! Aye-!
The birth mother relaxed her hand and bit her lip. And the scene changed. Looking at my appearance, it seemed that it hadn’t been long since then. I was suckling my mother’s milk. Looking at the shape, it was a pretty good shape and the right size, but it didn’t look like anything. The baby was so focused on sucking the sucker that he didn’t even know that he almost died from the sucker.
– Ouch!
That bitch still wanted to eat, but she made a reasonable inference that she was giving her breast milk because she was afraid to go clean after cleaning up the corpse and was a waste of money to buy powdered milk.
Because.
A mother who loves her baby and gives her breast milk, she won’t throw her baby on the blanket just because she sucked on her nipple and bit her nipple.
The baby was crying loudly, and the bitch was stroking her breasts more than the baby. Her baby had a hollow in the back of her head, but she didn’t even care.
‘…’
And the moment I spit out the first word beyond the babbling period.
– Oh, mom!
– …
– Huh?
The bitch contorted her face like a slaughter of her body and locked the child in her room.
For two days.
The baby was terribly afraid of her birth mother, who was her only support in the world. Since she was a little grown up, a stranger started to come into the house, and very occasionally, if she was in a really good mood, she would give her sweets or delivery food. Neglect in normal times. And the slightest upset of his mood led to an outpouring of violence.
Baby Eugene.
Han Yoo-jin, a idiot in the corner of the room.
Captain Hendrick, who leads the warriors.
A total of 66 times.
She was about to die
‘Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.’
Emotions that started with anger.
It had turned into a fear of death.
