Chapter 1632 – Together
A few days before Dre reconciled with Maychee.
A woman with blue skin and a fatal charm walked down her hallway with an arrogant posture.
She placed her bandaged spear on her shoulder and suddenly glared ahead.
Before I knew it, someone had appeared.
“Where are you going now?”
The threatening voice of Pendrum, the Demon King of Freedom, echoes through the ornate hallway.
“Hang?”
Mine looked behind her with a face as if she was barking.
Pendrum was almost shocked by the rookie’s arrogant attitude, but she barely held back.
“I asked where you were going.”
“Where? Have you forgotten? Death told me to retrieve ‘things’.”
“Yes. It’s fortunate that I remember the details of the mission.”
Pendrum, who had been sarcastic, was startled when he felt the hawk-like gaze.
A blue-skinned demon. The Demon King of Battle was shining her deadly glare on Pendrum.
‘A beastly woman.’
The pen drum clicked her tongue inside her.
It was clear that everything that Lord Hardesh was doing was a great mission and would one day bear fruit.
But. There is only one thing that my lord did that I don’t understand.
This girl. He accepted the Demon King of Battle under his command.
‘This bitch will never be corrected.’
A beast that is not subservient and corrected will eventually become a wild beast and bite its owner.
She is a woman who has nothing but fight on her mind.
Her expectations are fading, so she deliberately doesn’t even check the faces of her main enemies, including Yeo Dre. She is a woman who wants to see it with her own eyes on the battlefield.
She will definitely show her teeth to Hardesh one day.
‘No. Maybe that’s what the lord wants.’
The master’s goal may be to fatten this woman like a pig and eat her.
It is now common sense that if you absorb strong magic, you become stronger.
‘Then I can’t let you go alone like this.’
Feldrum said as he shot at him.
“The master clearly ordered me and the freshmen executives to proceed with the mission.”
“But?”
The Demon King of Battle barely calms his nerves once again as he watches the Demon King of Battle pick his ear with his ring finger.
“You must have heard enough about the dangers of those beings, right? Plus…”
“There. The hero party might come?”
At the end of his words, the corners of the Battle Demon King’s mouth and eyes were curved like a crescent moon.
Pendrum was shocked as he faced the madness full of anticipation and joy.
“Four years…”
“That’s why I’m going alone. All those delicious things are mine. You told me to absorb everything I can, right?”
“Know the topic. What can you do on your own? Kaitsu Hiro, and…”
Kwaaaaang-!
Shock.
Hallway with binge-drinking, no. The entire building collapses.
Pendrum, who was hemorrhaging blood and flying away like a star, barely stopped and took his stance.
Wow. After spitting out a handful of blood, he healed his wound and bulged out his eye.
“This naked bitch-!!”
The moment when his power of freedom is unleashed. Wow-!! A spear, I don’t know when it came, pierces my heart.
“Crrrr
Pendrum lost strength in his body.
Demons who are much stronger than humans, and among them the apex being, the Demon King Pendrum, this spear is not just a vital point, but a deadly spear that explodes at the vital organs of the target.
No matter how bad the pendrum was, it was bound to be neutralized for about a minute.
‘Even though I was prepared, it was like this.’
If even an additional blow comes, even with the devil’s tough life, your life is now in danger.
But no additional hits came.
Only a mocking voice rang out.
“You idiot.”
Chuck. The Demon King of Battle turned his back, raising his middle finger at Pendrum, who was in a defensive stance from afar.
“If there is a high possibility of getting an acne breakout, then of course I should go.”
I will kill that damn bastard.
If you kill her, pull out her head and show it to ‘that woman’. I will be able to feel that thrill and joy once again.
“Eight days. I hope you are at least half of what she said.”
A half-hearted reconciliation took place. Having prevented a pattern seizure, I left without any time to enjoy the afterglow, after hearing various information and guesses about the mission location from the hero party.
As usual, thanks to Frunar Academy and the Hero Party’s special warp gate transfer service, we were able to arrive at the mission location in less than ten minutes.
“It’s dark.”
That was my first impression when I looked around.
I looked at the clock.
The second hand clearly pointed to 1 p.M., But the surroundings were as dark as dawn, and a slight chill passed by.
It is not a pleasant chill like drizzle on the leaves like it is at dawn, but a chill that feels like it is tearing at a person’s bones.
Also, the fog was so thick that it was difficult to see even a few meters ahead.
“Are you here?”
“Is it true?”
I thought I could hear some noisy voices, and then a group of people hurriedly approached me.
The soldiers, who at first glance looked like they were village management troops, looked at me and said wow. I was impressed.
“Is it really glow-in-the-dark?”
“That’s right, I saw your face in a photo!”
“Wow…!”
I didn’t feel bad because I felt like I had suddenly become a star, but in fact, rather than being happy to see a star, it was more like a look on my face that said the savior had come and put me at ease.
I bowed my head to them.
“Hello. I’m a female. Jiwon is here.”
“Welcome!!”
Unlike the other soldiers, a middle-aged man wearing plain clothes and giving off a dignified look came forward as the representative and bowed low.
This is very generous hospitality.
Soon they guided me to their guard post.
There was a sign on the wall saying [Peace Bridge Village Guard Post], A magic receiver, a telescope, etc. Most of the supplies needed for the guard post were provided.
As soon as I sat down on the chair, coffee came out.
I didn’t expect much, but the scent is perfect.
Of all the people I know, the women of the Blizzar family are the best at making tea and coffee, and the taste is good and reminds me of Clarir’s coffee.
They must have used good coffee beans.
“Thank you for your excellent hospitality.”
“No. A precious person personally came to help, but we were not able to prepare much.”
I was actually saddened by the expression on his face that said he was truly sorry.
They must have been through a lot of mental hardship, especially since their faces were haggard.
But. This bridge is built amidst the entangled interests of many countries and major powers.
I don’t know, but the level of pecking from above is probably not a joke.
Since the situation could not be resolved, they hung on to the pants of their partner, Frunar Academy, and asked them to dispatch someone. They are also desperate to avoid being looked down upon by their superiors.
The only thing I can do in return for this hospitality is to resolve this situation as quickly as possible.
When I drank all the tea in the cup, the soldier captain spoke as if he had been waiting.
“I’m sorry for coming right away, but can we get straight to the point?”
“Of course. I’m here to help you.”
I tried to smile at the end of my sentence, but stopped.
[Oh. Why did I learn it?]
[The little boy knows how to learn?]
Phew.
These guys. Since I haven’t been beating lately, I’ve got a bad mouth.
While cursing at my soul friends, I waved my hand at the soldiers who repeatedly bowed down to me and asked them not to do that.
“Then could you explain the situation?”
The captain, who was pleased, immediately asked in a serious voice.
“I don’t know where to start explaining. I wonder how far you have come…?”
“I heard that one day, the entire bridge suddenly became engulfed in fog. Even though we tried many methods, we were unable to break through the fog.”
How long do you sleep? That’s what this is all about.
There are two special things.
One is that a bridge is not literally a bridge, but rather a ‘village on a bridge’ concept with houses, gardens, roads, etc.
And the only thing that happens is that you occasionally get a phone call from a village where no radio waves are connected, urging you to provide facility materials.
When I told him what I knew, the captain nodded.
“That’s right. It was really, really, suddenly. After yelling at workers who weren’t following safety standards, they tried to put up warning stickers.”
It seems like warning stickers are something that carries various penalties for workers.
“I left the sticker at the guard post and turned my back on the workers to go get it. It’s a bit embarrassing, but as soon as I walked a few steps, I got irritated. I tried to take out my anger on the workers who didn’t follow the standards even though I asked them so much. Where can I run? “I tried to threaten you not to think about going.”
And when I turned my head. The workers suddenly disappeared.
Instead, there was a fog so thick that it was hard to see in front of us.
“In terms of time, it’s only a few seconds… It’s really creepy. If I hadn’t turned my back and walked a few steps, I would have been in that fog by now…”
At those words, not only the captain but all the soldiers at the sentry trembled.
“Every time the investigators come, they go to the entrance of the bridge, to the place where the fog is the thickest, and every time they do that… I get goosebumps all over my body. It feels like I’m in this world.”
“Hmm.”
The captain was shocked when I made a rough noise of agreement.
“Ah…! It doesn’t mean I don’t want to guide you! Yes!”
“No. It’s okay if you don’t guide me.”
After all, people are amazing.
Or is it because he is a human from the Ryunar dimension, the highest dimension among infinite dimensions?
I seem to instinctively feel a sense of crisis.
From my analysis, this fog sucks out people’s vitality.
If this is true here, which is a bit far from the bridge, the fog inside is even more so.
It’s not that strong right now, but no one knows when or how things will change.
It’s better for me to go alone.
“You guys better stay here. Let me go alone first.”
“Ah…! Would you please…!!”
The guard commander looked very relieved? Although he seems to have a strong sense of work, the fog must have been creepy to this extent.
But then.
This fog. I don’t feel any energy other than that it’s dangerous.
For example. Energy like Ryunar.
It’s as if he is claiming that he is a natural phenomenon.
First. Should I contact you?
“Then let’s go right away.”
The moment I stood up.
Tiriririririri.
The guard post phone rang, and the soldiers’ faces turned pale. Some people said, “Again?” He had an annoying and bothersome look on his face.
“Is this the phone?”
“Yes. It’s always the same call.”
“Is it okay if I take it?”
“Ah. Yes! As much as you want! Other investigators also received it and there were no problems.”
I went to the phone that was ringing loudly, picked it up, and answered it.
[Hey-!! It’s been a few days since I asked you to send materials, so why haven’t they arrived yet?!?!]
“Who are you?”
[It’s a 12-inch bolt and special Hart family hinge. That needlessly costs a lot of money. Got it?]
I never thought I would hear the Hart family name here.
He said with a slight sense of joy.
“Fuck you.”
“…”
Next to me, the guard commander said, “Eh…?” I looked at him with a cold face.
Why. Do you think I cursed without thinking?
The Soul Ten Cub Black Dragon responded to my words.
[That’s right.]
This stud?
I was just trying to check the other person’s reaction by creating an unexpected situation.
[Gura enjoy.]
This dragon.
I will be defeated soon.
Even my provocation was ignored, and the phone call just hung up.
Saene Kim.
Rumbling.
“?”
The phone rang again.
Twice a day?
I looked at the guard post and asked him if something like this often happens, but he was shaking his head.
I guess today is the first time I’ve received two calls in one day.
I received a phone call.
“I have acne.”
[Kyaaaaa! Ah! Ahhhhh! Argh! Ahhh-! Kuuk! Cough, cluck, cluck.]
Ddu. Ddu. Too.
It was cut off.
I quickly looked around.
Everyone looked scared.
Do it. Just the fact that that wide, long bridge was suddenly enveloped in an impenetrable fog was strange enough, and now that I’ve received this prank call.
“Hey Sacky. Look at your phone manners?”
I need some training.
I put down the receiver politely and left the guard post.
And boom!! It spurred the earth, flew through the sky, and jumped into the thick fog.
Not long after, we arrived at the location where the entrance to the village would originally be.
Indeed. The fog has become thicker, and it is now difficult to see what is in front of you.
It’s spooky even if it’s not, but with visibility like this, it’s no wonder the soldiers didn’t want to come.
But this.
“I guess I can go in…?”
I understand why my scholar brother said that I could go in.
This fog. A danger zone managed by the Faikatsu family. It is similar to the fog of the midnight sun.
I cleared away all the fog back then, and I think I can clear away this fog by applying my senses from back then.
Let’s try it right away.
Wow.
Sssss.
The fog seemed to move as if it were alive.
It wasn’t going away.
It’s trying to entangle me.
It seems like he felt a sense of crisis.
Whiooooo-
“You’re showing your true colors quickly.”
As I was grinning and waiting to see what would come, the fog swirled, and the world seemed to be above clouds. It changed like the sky.
And then a tidal wave of fog washed over me.
Jjaeeng-!
“Ah. What is it? It’s hot.”
I looked ahead with a dazed expression.
The warm sunlight was shining on me.
Ahead was a lively street, with numerous buildings, workers bustling about, and street stalls selling various foods.
It was so lively that the children’s laughter echoed.
“… Hing?”
What?
