Chapter 166 – Western City Morphea (6)
It would be a lie to say that I wasn’t shocked by what happened so quickly.
The head of the person in front of me suddenly fell off, spurting blood.
Looking at the expression on the face of the gangster whose head fell off, it looks like he died without even knowing what happened to him.
Is this better than dying painfully?
The blood splashing from the body of the gangster who died before my eyes stopped in the air before it reached my body.
Judging by the fact that my body was momentarily blocked by a small glowing wall, I think Freya had created a barrier in front of me.
By the way, I didn’t know they would suddenly kill me.
I turned my head and looked at Yuria, who was standing next to the gangster.
Yuria’s sword, cut down so quickly, doesn’t even seem to have the blood of the gangster on it.
Yuria smiled when I looked at her as if asking what had happened.
“What’s wrong, Jinu?”
If it were me in the past, she might have been shocked and asked Yuria what she did.
They say that human life is precious and that no one should be easily killed…
In particular, we may have felt aversion to taking the life of someone who was not directly fighting with us but had no hostility, so we may have said something that a good-natured novel protagonist would do.
However, as I have already adapted to this world, I have no intention of getting angry at Yuria.
On the contrary, he had no intention of letting the gangster live.
There’s no guarantee that if we leave the scoundrel alive, he won’t tell us that we’ve invaded here.
If we release him from here, he will run to his colleagues and try to stab us in the back.
“No, Yuria. I was going to kill you anyway, but you did well.”
I praised Yuria, stroking her head as she looked at me.
“I’ll dispose of the body first, Jinu.”
It is said to be a place where we can hide ourselves before going to the next location, the sanctuary, but if we leave a body here, there is a possibility that the body will be discovered by someone who comes in after us.
As I nodded to Renia’s words, the gangster’s body began to burn quickly.
It was probably the work of the fire spirit summoned by Renia.
Perhaps due to Renia’s incredible firepower, the gangster’s body disappeared in an instant and turned into ashes.
“Next, are you going to go to that place called Sanctuary that guy mentioned?”
“Of course, since we’ve come this far, we should know that much. Before that, let’s first leave a whisper with Ellie over there in the Kingdom of Brittinya.”
‘Eli, we have now arrived in the west and entered the city of Morfia in the Kingdom of Aldoran. After investigating this place, I think Void is hiding here. Could you please move to the location where 〈Return〉 skill arrives so that I can bring you all there with 〈Return〉 skill at any time? Ellie, you know because I went with you last time I went to Britinya Kingdom with a skill.’
Just like now, you can let Ellie know in advance and move it to the place where you arrived when you used 〈 Return 〉 skill so that she can immediately bring you with 〈 Return 〉 skill.
And we must be careful too.
Since we are now inside Void’s lair, we don’t know when or where the enemy will appear.
If things get dangerous, you should always think about running away.
“I left a whisper for Ellie, so I’ll probably move to a location where I can receive the 〈 Return 〉 skill in advance. If we, too, become in danger, let’s move to the Britinya Kingdom where Ellie is.”
“Could that happen? I don’t think I can imagine an enemy that could oppose our mighty power.”
Is it because I felt like we were running away from what I said?
Renia doesn’t seem to like that part a little.
“That’s right. I think the same thing as you, Renia.”
I turned my head and looked at Freya and continued speaking.
“Now that Freya has come to us, not even Modeus is our enemy. But… Something is bothering me. It’s frustrating that I can’t explain what it is, but I have a feeling there might be a danger we didn’t think of… “
“I think what you think is probably right. You can predict things that we cannot think of.”
Lien agreed with what I said.
“That’s right! It was our first time seeing that monster last time in the Frash Kingdom, but Jinu knew the monster’s weaknesses and how to attack it.”
“Hmm… That guy was definitely quite strong back then. Although his body itself was weak, his attacks were quite fierce. Considering that, there is no harm in being careful like Jinu-nim said.”
I took out the compass in my pocket and checked the direction the needle was pointing.
“Hmm… That’s where the compass points.”
I told everyone, pointing with my finger in the direction of the compass that pointed to the place the hoodlum had said was the sanctuary.
“I don’t know what they’re doing over there, but it looks like the equipment we’re looking for is over there. Whatever it is, I’m sure that’s where we need to go.”
“Then shall we go?”
We moved carefully, lowering ourselves low.
Assuming that there might be other enemies besides the gangster we caught, we quietly checked our surroundings.
As I moved, I was able to check the inside of the iron cage room where people had come out earlier.
The room seemed to have been left with only the bare minimum equipment for human habitation.
It seems that it was stored here for a while and then the gangster took it out and sent it to the sanctuary.
For what purpose are they doing this?
I really can’t expect this much.
As far as I know, the relationship between Void and the game Elyon is simply that of Demon.
Because there is so little information about the Void, its purpose is unknown and its next action cannot be predicted.
It took quite some time to move around the fairly large square as carefully as possible.
I went while making sure there was no one around, but since there was no guarantee that there would be no magic to detect intruders, I checked as much as I could before moving.
Fortunately, there were no special changes while we were moving.
As we went around the corner of the square and went in the direction where the people who had turned into demons had moved, a room with a large closed iron door appeared in front of us.
The iron gate was closed tightly, perhaps because it was after everyone had gone in.
We approached the iron gate.
“Hmm… How do I do this… I can’t even break in through the iron door.”
Lien approached the iron door and knocked lightly with her hand.
“It’s not difficult to break down an iron door like this, but if we do, our presence will probably be discovered.”
“Probably so… Besides, I don’t even know what it looks like inside or who’s inside, so I think breaking it carelessly is a handshake.”
So what should I do?
It would be nice to be able to check the inside first…
I turned my head and looked around to see if there was any other way to enter this room than to open the iron door.
I thought there would have been only one entrance in the underground space.
This is because if there is only one entrance underground and it collapses, there will be problems with evacuation.
“Jinuni, look over there! Over there!”
While I was looking around, Yuria called me and pointed in a certain direction.
Looking in the direction Yuria was pointing, she saw that in addition to this iron gate, there was a small hole blocked by an iron bar.
It was just big enough for one person to lie down.
Is it a space that acts like a vent?
It is a place often used by people to infiltrate in novels and movies.
“Hmm… Should I use that place? I can’t just sit there like this.”
“Then who should go?”
Renia said in a low voice.
I thought it had already been decided who would go.
“I’d better go.”
Everyone looked at me when I told them I was going.
I guess he didn’t think I would go.
Of course I thought it would be a good idea for me to go, right?
“I don’t think it’s a good idea for either of us to move in there. I can go in there, check the situation inside, and whisper to you to tell you whether to go in or turn around and go somewhere else. Even if I end up in danger, I also have a morale combo.”
I stretched out two fingers and held them out to everyone.
“If you think something is dangerous, you can immediately use 〈 Time Stop 〉 and check the surroundings. If you are in a situation where no one can move except you and you decide that it is an unavoidable crisis, you can just use the 〈 Return 〉 skill to run away. Of course, I will leave you alone. “But I have to go.”
“If Jinu-nim can travel safely, it won’t be a problem at all. But… I feel a little uneasy about sending Jinu alone.”
I understand Renia’s worries.
He must be worried that I might get hurt.
Still, I think it’s better for me to go now.
I think it would be very foolish to attack without checking the situation inside, so it is necessary to check inside at all costs.
And it is difficult to deal with other risks when several people are moving in a space that is difficult to move around.
It would be better for me, who can move fluidly, to go alone, check the situation inside, and share with the girls outside whether to go inside or go back.
