Chapter 15 – Chapter 15
As Lee Dae-man said, he should have just run without covering his face.
However, I inadvertently turned my head to the suspicious noise I heard behind my back.
Why didn’t I listen to the Awakener according to the manual?
That is also the words of a veteran Awakener.
Even if you regret it, it’s already too late.
It was a huge mistake.
I turned my head, and before I could see the enemy approaching me, I was attacked.
Something came flying fast and hit me hard.
As if he had been in a car accident, an intense pain pierced his whole body.
I was up in the air for several meters before plummeting to the ground.
“Eww…”
The world spun around.
Oh you die like this
I seem to be experiencing this often lately.
Is this the fate of those who enter and exit dungeons without awakening?
“Jung Hyuk!”
I heard the voice of a senior calling me.
Fortunately, he was still unharmed.
Unlike me, senior seems to have faithfully followed the manual, right?
Aigo is also a senior.
I’m sorry, but this foolish junior goes first, senior.
“You bastard Kang Jeong-hyeok! What are you doing! Get up quickly and run!”
“Uh?”
I thought I was dead, but luckily I wasn’t seriously hurt.
I checked all over my body.
Ah! I was wearing this
I was wearing an A-class mana-coated suit.
Thanks to that, it seems that even though it circled the sky once, it ended with only bruises.
The bones also appear to be intact. There were no signs of bleeding either.
However, the whole body was trembling uncontrollably as if it hadn’t even gotten rid of all the pain.
Even when I tried to get up, I couldn’t get enough strength in my lower body.
He barely got up to his knees before collapsing back to the floor like a newborn calf.
“Haha.”
The guy comes up to me
A fearful monster.
Kagaga River!
Suddenly there was a deafening roar.
“What are you doing you stupid bastard! Run back quickly!”
It was only here.
It seems to have closed the distance of several tens of meters in an instant and blocked the second attack of the monster that was heading towards me.
After all, I don’t think this guy is that bad.
I struggled to stand up again to do what he said.
A hideous monster can be glimpsed beyond Lee Dae-man’s silhouette, and one wonders if this is the spirit’s reality.
My heart became more urgent.
Fuck. I want to live, but my body still doesn’t move on its own.
“Hurry up! Then you really die. This guy might not be the last!”
Daeman Lee is right.
There may be a few more monsters.
But the body is not listening.
When I hesitated like that, Lee Dae-man seemed to have given up and started attacking the monster.
It seems that it was because of me that I was only defending without attacking the enemy until now.
“Damn. The horse becomes a seed … This baby is really dying.
Shhh-
At the same time, an attack flew towards me from another direction.
“Ahhhhh-“
This time it wasn’t a hitting attack.
The stems were wrapped around the whole body and began to be constricted.
Great fear.
Needless to say, the pain was great.
I was caught by the trunk and dragged for several tens of meters.
And hung upside down
The world turned upside down, blood rushing to the head.
No matter how much A-class suits were, the bones in the whole body seemed to be crushed, as if it had no effect on this kind of strangling attack.
No, I don’t know if I’m holding on thanks to the suit.
“Ugh…”
It felt as if the blood rushed to my head and all over my body.
It became difficult to breathe as if submerged in water.
The double nosebleed has already burst.
“Haha…”
I want to ask for help, but the words don’t come out.
I could barely even breathe through my mouth.
Even Lee Dae-man was already dealing with multiple monsters, so asking for help seemed useless right now.
Far from saving anyone, he would be busy living.
Eventually like this…
Die like this?
“Haha…”
Eyes closed
I struggle to open it again, but as time goes by, my vision gets darker and darker.
You can no longer hear ambient noise.
Only the sound of my hard breathing through my mouth.
All I could hear was my heart beating fast.
Beep-
And.
The tinnitus I had heard then was heard again.
“Someone… Some…”
– Beep.
‘?’
The tinnitus that seemed to last forever suddenly stopped.
And a message popped into my vision.
“What…”
[Emergencies!]
[Enable user protection mode. Deploy the shield. You are a user with low privileges.]
The pain slowly subsides along with a suspicious message.
Vision brightened.
The noise around me that I couldn’t hear also started to come back.
What?
My body was still hanging upside down.
Time hadn’t passed since the monster hadn’t eaten it yet.
[There are obstacles in deploying the shield. Are you sure you want to remove it? It consumes a lot of energy.]
What appeared this time was a choice sentence of YES or NO.
I immediately chose YES.
Papa papapat!
There was an illusion that something was leaking out of my body that there was no mana at all.
It’s a fleeting moment.
Soon after, the stem of the steel-hard monster that had been strangling me began to shatter and scatter.
The stem that supported me disappeared and I fell to the ground.
Because I was hanging upside down, I fell head first, and my skull was blown apart.
However, whether it was because of this shield or the stems of plants scattered on the floor, I didn’t take any damage.
I was very fortunate
[Succeeded in removing the obstruction. Deploy the shield.]
[Insufficient permission. Shield extension is not possible. The level of the shield is fixed at 1.]
[This is a user with low privileges. The shield expires after 1 minute. A higher authority is required to continue strengthening or maintaining the shield.]
Looking at these incomprehensible messages, I tried to understand the situation.
A powerful plant-type monster.
I was hanging in the air with my whole body wrapped around me.
However, since the message appeared, there has been no pain whatsoever.
Even the hard stems were blown away as if they had been ground in a mixer.
Is this my ability?
“Crazy.”
An exhilarating shudder ran through his entire body.
It wasn’t all about simply helping others grow or disenchanting them.
“I can live…”
As long as I had this shield, I would be safe even if I was attacked by a monster like that.
Unfortunately, only 1 minute.
That seemed to be the limit.
I didn’t quite understand what low authority meant, but for now, surviving is the priority.
To say that this shield could not be maintained for even one minute was to say that they had to escape from here within that time no matter what.
If I don’t do that, maybe my life will end there.
I took a quick look around.
Does not exist.
The thing I was looking for was nowhere to be found.
It seems to be because it was wrapped around the monster’s stem and dragged for several tens of meters.
Radar and Class A weapons.
At least I have to get back what I brought with me.
It’s not even a penny or two.
However, it has been dragged too far to return to the place where it was dropped.
Coke. Coke.
I had a dry cough.
It must be because of the pollen of the flowers surrounding it.
I blew both my nostrils where it was difficult to breathe, and something red came out of my nostrils.
It was a lump of red blood.
Fortunately, the nosebleed had already stopped.
“Senpai! Where are you!”
There was no reply from the senior who had shouted like that earlier.
Could it be that he wasn’t eaten by the monster?
Anxiety swept over me, but what I have to do now is to protect myself.
The monster that bound me with the stem was still unconscious.
It will be painful because the thickest stems have been completely ripped off.
I don’t know if it feels pain like a human, but it was clear that the situation was not normal.
“Haaaaap!”
I can hear Lee Dae-man’s voice from a little far away.
It was still muttering and fighting alone.
Still, he somehow seemed to survive in this situation.
I looked around.
Because you’ve lost your sense of direction.
I need to know the direction of the gate to escape, so I can do whatever I want to do, whether I run away or not.
What if you can’t escape while the shield is active?
It’s creepy just thinking about it.
I decided to leave before the monster in front of me came to my senses.
The location of the gate has not been confirmed, but if we go to the vicinity of Lee Dae-man, wouldn’t it be possible to find out the direction we walked?
But I didn’t want to get involved in a fight.
Because the time left to get out of here is running out.
As long as I know the gate location, I feel like I want to start running right away.
“You’re cheeky on the subject of weed!”
Even if you don’t have to make a lot of noise, the sound of the monster’s trunk and his shield clashing is enough.
I couldn’t figure out why he was talking like that.
But if he continues to draw the monster’s gaze, I am so grateful.
I’m cowardly thinking of running away alone, but I don’t want Lee Dae-man to die.
Please come back alive like a hero. Awakener!
As if by luck, the expensive weapon and radar I dropped were right in front of me.
If you lose this, you may have to live hiding somewhere underground, running away from creditors for the rest of your life.
I couldn’t help but feel lucky to have found it again.
“It’s a window…”
It was a cumbersome spear to carry around.
Still, when will I ever lift a weapon like this?
Having regained my sense of direction, I slashed the giant plants blocking my way with my spear and accelerated my steps.
This spear became a 10-billion-dollar mowing scythe.
I was worried about one thing.
Should I call the senior one more time, or should I leave it like this?
I don’t know if I called for nothing, but the monsters might find out…
No matter what happens, the most important thing is my life.
Having made up my mind, I ran to the front of the gate without even looking back, fearing that a monster might come after me.
All you have to do now is go outside.
“Senpai~ Are you alive?”
I called, thinking that my safety was secured to some extent, but there was still no answer.
Is it dead
I feel strangely guilty thinking that my senior may have died.
Then, when I went back to work and saw myself coming up with excuses to make, I realized what an asshole I was.
“Haa… Please stay alive. Senior.”
[Privilege 1 user only shield has expired. User protection mode can no longer be maintained.]
Eek.
I need to get out of here quickly.
Safety is not guaranteed just because you are in front of the gate.
Less than two hours had passed since I heard that an Awakener had come over the gate with his arm cut off.
Now, if the monster’s plant stem attacks again, I’ll be dead.
I looked at the place where Lee Dae-man, who was still fighting a desperate battle, turned my head.
And I’m trying to move in order to pass through the trouble gate.
“Huh?”
Rather, someone came in from the other side of the gate.
It’s the first time I’ve seen it, but I guess it looked like the structure of the diamond guild.
“What are you? Are you a survivor?”
“Oh, no. That… To the rescue…”
“Ah, I heard the story from outside. Are you from Cool Support? You managed to survive.”
“Yes. Cool support person. I was lucky.”
“Get out of the way. More people will come in. Oh, that’s enough. By the way, I’m sorry… Where are the people from our company right now?”
“Mr. Lee Dae-man is fighting a monster over there. I, I’m sorry, but hurry up and help him… The monsters are very powerful and numerous.”
“I see. This side? I want you to tell the guys coming in behind me that I went to join the battle. They’ll be back soon.”
I nodded and replied that I knew, and the opponent who confirmed that looked headed in the direction I pointed.
It ran as lightly as the wind, but the speed was not inferior to that of Lee Dae.
“That person seems to be strong too… Well, if you want to be a rescuer…”
While I muttered, more people started entering at the gate.
I wanted to quickly tell them the story and run away from this place.
The shield that was like magic protecting me had already disappeared.
After a while, another awakened person passed through the gate.
I explained the situation to the person who entered the front.
Then everyone ran in the same direction as the man who first entered.
It would have been natural for me to do so since I came to the rescue, but because of that, I had to wait for people again.
If that’s the case, tell them how many rescuers are coming in and go.
Anyway, the awakened guys are ordinary people. If you think of it as someone who supports them, the treatment will change.
That too, in a very dirty way like this.
A total of four rescuers rushed out to help Lee Dae-man, and then three more rescuers came in from beyond the gate.
Before I relayed the circumstances again, I was about to ask if this was the end of the rescue team that would come in.
But I couldn’t.
I didn’t ask anything
It was because there was someone I knew among the people who came in.
Fuck this…
“Huh? Who is this? Isn’t it our ex-boyfriend?”
The asshole who cheated on me with my ex.
Min Hyuk-joo was standing there.
