Resurrected Immortal 632

Chapter 632 – 632. Sinkhole (4)

“Do, help me!”

While falling through the cracked ground, Eunhyeon heard a man’s scream from above.
He turned his head and gazed upward at the familiar voice urgently calling for help.
Eun-hyeon realized that at the same time that she threw herself after Leo-de, Han-seong Cha also quickly threw herself after her.
But what I don’t understand is why.

‘… Why is this person?’

There was no composure on the face of Cha Han-seong, who was falling down.
As if he had thrown himself off a bungee jump without wearing any safety equipment, he was agitated and calling for help from Eun-hyeon.

‘Why the hell did you follow me…’

Eun-hyeon was slightly annoyed, but did not throw away Cha Han-seong, who was asking for help.
He summoned the rope he had in his inventory and swung it toward Cha Hanseong.
The iron ball attached to the end of the rope that suddenly protruded was wrapped around Cha Han-sung’s arm, and Cha Han-seong, who noticed it, grabbed the end of the rope with his eyes shining and fixed it tightly so that it wouldn’t be missed.
Eun-hyeon, who connected Cha Han-seong and himself, summoned his dagger and pierced it into the wall, and put strength on his arm to minimize the speed of his fall.
The blade, encased in magic, easily penetrated the hard rocky ground and was firmly fixed.
Eventually, with his other hand, he pulled Cha Hanseong with a wire wrapped around it.

“Kuh… !”

With Eunhyeon’s help, he was able to avoid the fall, but Cha Hanseong was able to strengthen his body by releasing magical energy from his entire body and minimize the damage caused by colliding with the wall.
In a situation similar to when climbing a rock wall, while hanging on a cracked wall, Eunhyun installed a rappel, a descending device, on the wall.

“Descent slowly. Wrap the rope around your waist and secure it.”

“Yes!”

Slowly, Cha Han-seong, who had regained his composure, wrapped a rope around his waist following Eun-hyeon’s instructions, and put his hands and feet between the tiny cracks in the wall, fixing it.
If he accidentally stumbled, Eun-hyeon immediately took a posture and fixed the rope to prevent Cha Han-sung from falling.
Had it not been for Eun-hyeon’s assistance, Cha Han-seong might have fallen to the bottom and died right away.
Realizing this, Cha Hanseong slowly descended down while breaking out in a cold sweat.
He had already decided to jump down and acted, so it was too late to regret it.
Despite going down the rock wall for more than 20 minutes, the floor was filled with pitch-black darkness.
Little by little, as soon as his body adjusted and found some time to spare, the thought that came to Cha Han-seong’s mind was the comfort of Riod.

“Captain…”

Can Riod and his successor knights, who fell from a height higher than this, really be safe?

“You will be alive.”

Eunhyeon, who was descending slowly from above, spoke as if she had heard Cha Hanseong’s muttering.
There was no consideration in his voice to encourage Cha Han-seong.
I have confidence that Riod would never have died so easily.
As if the worries Cha Han-seong is doing are completely useless, his trust in Riod is very strong.

“Before you worry about Leo, you should worry about yourself. First of all, getting down here and stepping on the ground is the first priority. After that, we will look for Riod and his successor.”

Eun-hyeon’s words were a theory that I couldn’t come up with anything to refute.
Currently, Cha Han-seong is also at the crossroads of life and death, where even if he missteps, he may go straight to the goal.
Who cares about whom now?

“… All right.”

Cha Hanseong nodded heavily and focused on descending this rock face.
After that, there was no conversation between Eunhyeon and Cha Hanseong.
After climbing down the rock wall for about two hours, the two were finally able to step on the ground.

“Whoa…”

Cha Hanseong sighed in relief at the fact that he was finally able to step on the ground, and sat down on the ground.
Perhaps because he was constantly tense and strained, his body was so tired that even the armor he was wearing felt heavy.
Even though the proper search hadn’t even started yet, Cha Han-seong was feeling the limit of his mind.

“Eat it.”

Eun-hyun handed a bottle of bottled water to Cha Han-seong, who was breathing heavily and forcibly breathing in the stuffy underground air.

“Ah… Thank you.”

Cha Hanseong bowed his head and accepted the mineral water bottle Eunhyun handed him with both hands.
As he opened the stopper and immediately drank the contents into his throat, Cha Hanseong hesitated and reacted in surprise.

“This, this… ?”

It was no ordinary bottled water.
Aside from the taste and coolness, it clears the mind from fatigue, lightens the heavy body, and restores the physical condition.
When Cha Han-seong looked at Eun-hyeon with a dumbfounded expression, Eun-hyeon immediately cleared his doubts.

“It is mineral water that contains herbs that restore energy and Eleanor’s divine power. It will help you to restore your body and mana.”

“Rather than being helpful…”

Cha Han-seong put on a bewildered expression at the level of resilience that easily exceeded the level of help.
The efficacy that can be put on an enormous value just by selling it on the market.
The fact that it was handed over casually was very shocking.

“Such an expensive thing…”

“It is not for sale.”

“Yes?”

“Eleanor personally gave me divine power so that I could use it if something happened.”

“…”

Cha Hanseong had nothing to say, so he lowered his head.
Was it okay for him to drink this himself? He was deeply troubled.
Cha Han-seong’s mind was so complicated that he thought it might be more comfortable to search while tired.
I wanted to do it if I could spit it out and fill this bottle of water, but since I am a human, that is impossible.

“If you sell something like this without permission from the temple, sanctions will come from the Holy Nation of Erenia.”

If rumors spread that Eleanor, her candidate for the next holy woman, used her divine power for personal gain, it could cause a big problem.
Cha Hanseong realized the meaning of what Eunhyeon wanted to say.

“… I will definitely keep it a secret.”

Cha Han-seong, who hesitated for a while, poured all the remaining bottled water into his mouth, recovering his body and mana.

“Why did you follow me?”

When Cha Han-seong got up again, Eun-hyeon finally asked why he had followed him.
To be honest, in this situation, Cha Han-seong was not very helpful.
While Cha Han-seong learned swordsmanship directly from Riod, he belonged to the axis of the strong.
From Eun-hyeon’s point of view, Cha Han-seong’s actions were too reckless and foolish.
Cha Han-seong, as if he was aware of this, answered Eun-hyeon’s question with an embarrassing face.

“Sorry… But… As soon as I saw the captain jump down here to save Delia, I couldn’t help but watch.”

The name Delia seemed to be the name of the successor knight whom Riod was trying to save.
Riod’s order was to retreat.
However, Cha Han-seong could not follow the order.
Seeing Riod and Delia fall, my body moved first than I thought.
Because the worst imaginings came to his mind.

“I am… I don’t want to see Eira-senpai cry.”

Eira’s face was filled with grief at the loss of her father.
Cha Hanseong did not want to see Eira’s face.
That’s why, despite Riod’s order to retreat, his body moved first without even thinking about it.

“…”

Eunhyeon stared blankly at Cha Hanseong, who confidently expressed his thoughts without hesitation.

‘This human. Are you talking like the main character in a novel?’

Come to think of it, this man named Cha Han-seong is a man who was destined to be a ‘protagonist’ in another parallel world.
Maybe that’s why it felt like there was a strange correction effect.
The fact that he moved without thinking about his own life because he thought of Leo De and Ayra was quite admirable, but apart from that, Eun-hyeon pointed out that foolishness without hesitation.

“Even so, it was too reckless. Without me, Cha Han-seong would not have been so safe.”

“That’s right, after seeing Eunhyun-nim jump, I jumped without hesitation.”

“… What?”

“Once I started running, I believed Eunhyun-nim would do something for me.”

Hearing that he would confidently rely on him with all his might, Eun-hyeon reacted in a rather dumbfounded way.
Contrary to what he said earlier, it was a very pathetic attitude, but he himself was not ashamed of it and was rather confident.

“What do you believe in me when you say that?”

“Isn’t Eunhyeon the one the captain trusts and relies on?”

While learning swordsmanship from Riod near the forest of elves, Cha Han-seong noticed the relationship between Riod and Eun-hyeon, who act together.
The appearance of Riod he had seen was the leader of the strongest and noblest Artia Knights in the kingdom.
Aside from making appearances with his family, Theresia Naeira, and Elion, Riode has not made any personal connections with anyone.
With the exception of his family, Riode is the only one who has allowed his heart by forming a trust and bond, and Eun-hyeon is someone he can trust and rely on.
Eun-hyeon was the only person in the kingdom of Pernias who formed an equal friendship with Riod.
Illiana, Agies, and Gerard, who were once colleagues and worked together, are similar, but Riod and Eunhyun are uniquely special.
Just as Cha Han-seong sets Riod as his goal, Riod also considers his Eunhyeon as his goal and continues to devote himself to catching up with his sword.
Cha Han-seong found out about the relationship between Riode and Eun-hyeon.

“I didn’t trust Eunhyun-nim, but I acted with trust in the captain’s judgment, who believed in Eun-hyun.”

Eunhyun laughed bitterly inwardly.

“In the end, it sounds like you’re relying on me and don’t have a proper plan.”

“Haha. It’s true as a fact, so this… No. I am very embarrassed.”

Cha Han-seong shrugged his shoulders at Eun-hyeon’s relentless remark.

“I showed a pathetic figure while descending, but I can protect at least one part of my body. I’m going to rescue the captain, and I can be confident that I will be able to help. So…”

Cha Hanseong erased the bitter smile on his face and lowered his head with a serious face.

“Please, take me with you.”

At his polite request, Eunhyeon let out a small sigh.

‘I wondered where they resembled each other…’

This reckless act of acting with instinct and body before planning or rationality.
He closely resembles the young Riod he had been with in the past.

‘What happened was that a person like my son-in-law came to visit me.’

So, it’s not just because of Eira, the reason why Riod didn’t like Cha Han-seong might be because it reminded him of his immature self when he was young.
Something like common ethnophobia.

“… I won’t be considerate. Please follow me.”

“Thank you!”

Together with Cha Han-seong, Eun-hyeon started searching for the successor knights named Riod and Delia.
