Chapter 167 – Chapter 167. I Am Your Only God
“Brother?”
The moment he read the first sentence, he stretched out his remaining arm and covered Sohee’s eyes.
If he was already half insane and knew that the place he was sucked into was an A-class dungeon, he might really go crazy.
Fortunately, at the moment something pops out, So-hee is trembling in my arms with her eyes closed.
On the contrary, when my hands are placed on the eyes, the tension in the body is released slightly as if it is calming down.
It is fortunate that he is as obedient as he is to me, the subject of his dependence.
He calmly and slowly opened his mouth to Sohee’s trembling ear.
“Min So-hee.”
“Yes Yes.”
“Keep closing your eyes.”
“Yeah.”
“I can feel that I am here.”
“Yeah. Yeah.”
Slowly
Letter by letter, Sohee’s head
It reassures me by filling it with me, not this space.
“I’ll protect you. I’m here to protect you. So trust me stay still relax your hands It hurts more.”
“Yeah. Yes Yes…”
“Deep breath. Slowly. Slow. Slowly. You can do it.”
Whoop- whoop- whoop. After. Whoa…
Breathing calmingly.
With Sohee’s eyes covered, he read the quest window carefully.

〓 =
What is he saying now.
Trust? Offer a shaman? What else is it that I am a priest?
Pot-!
I raised my head to the sound of fireworks for a while, and a torch the size of a person rose from a distance.
At the same time, the closed view opens.
Standing one by one under the large white pillars and torches placed in a row.
We probably had a total of 10 torches in our last order.
Torches are burning towards us one by one.
I lowered my head and looked at So-hee with an eerie premonition.
‘Fuck.’
Sohee turns her head away from my gaze with her eyes closed.
Unknowingly, I laughed bitterly.
Two brilliant red letters floating above Sohee’s head.
‘Shaman’
Offer the shaman.
Fuck.
Fuck-
Fuck-!
I hurriedly moved Sohee in my arms forward and faced me.
He grabbed and shook Sohee, who was still rattled with her eyes closed.
I don’t know what this crazy kid would do if he knew he was the scapegoat.
A crazy bitch like Oh Mi-joo might seduce you.
I caught it to save it, but I can’t die.
I captured Min So-hee with all my thoughts.
“Min So-hee.”
“Yeah.”
Pot-!
Fire rushes towards us.
Fiercely, as if about to burn something.
Roughly burning something already.
Min So-hee trembled when she heard the sound of fire burning.
“Oh, brother-“
Hwareuk-
“Min So-hee. Focus on me Listen carefully.”
Blazing-
“I am the one who came to protect you. Who is it that came to rescue you?”
“This, Isia- oppa.”
Roaring-
“Right. I am your guide, I am your guide.”
“No matter what lies ahead, no matter what awaits you, just follow me.”
Roaring-!
“I don’t care who whispers what, whoever commands what.”
“I am your law and I am your only rule. Okay?”
Roaring—!!!
To the sound of a ravenous fire
I screamed loudly as if I was fighting.
“The only person you should follow is me!”
Only one torch left.
Min So-hee’s eyes flash open with a booming sound.
Flash-
When Min So-hee opened her eyes, her eyes were filled with light.
A fire that burns red and yellow.
A single human figure swaying in that fire.
I reflected in her eyes
Than the yellow fire that burns the world
It ignites a more blazing purple fire and burns up.
Blazing-
The last torch burns and shines brightly on us.
He opened his mouth with a sound like the sky being torn apart.
“I am the only god you will follow. Sohee Min. So just listen to me Understand?”
Min So-hee’s empty eyes are filled with emotions.
Joy, joy, affection, rapture, happiness.
Ecstasy.
As if I had gone far away, only my black and purple image was reflected in the white eyes that were out of focus.
The corners of her lips curl up.
So-hee looks up at me while trembling and smiles brightly.
“Yeah…!”
Tak-Tak-
He waved his arm at the falling embers and summoned a veil of darkness to block it.
“Close your eyes. Hurt.”
Seruk-
Vision darkened at once.
Boom-
Tears flowed from Min So-hee’s closed eyes.
“Yeah…”
The embers, which are difficult to stop with one hand, bounce slightly sideways.
Feeling that, Sohee flinched at her body.
Be careful.
Squeak-
Min So-hee’s hands slowly falling from one of my hands.
Soon, she puts her hands together and puts them on her chest, and she slowly lowers her head as if in prayer.
Both hands freed thanks to that.
He quickly swung his other arm and held up the tent with both arms.
Ung-ung-
At that moment, a dark green light leaked from my hand.
The hand, which was swollen and purple, gradually regains its color.
Thank god.
Contrary to my thoughts, the words of a grumble came out of my mouth.
“What. You know how to do it.”
“No…”
So-hee smiled at my words with a face full of tears and shook her head.
“I couldn’t.”
Now you can.
Shrik-
Leaving behind Sohee, who spoke incomprehensible words, she turned her tent into a cloak and wrapped it around us.
Sarak-
A cloak that sinks gently over your head.
Let’s hug Sohee naturally
This time, Sohee also opens her arms and hugs me tightly.
Tack – Tack –
Red embers falling on our heads like rain and hail.
He whispered as he looked at Sohee, who had her head buried in his arms.
“Aren’t you scared? Now?”
“Yeah…”
Sohee, who has completely erased even the slightly dried tears, smiles softly and whispers to them.
“Sia-sama-“
“Yes?”
“No, because Shia oppa will protect me. Yes?”
“Right.”
Was the darkness a problem?
It seems that I have found stability when the lights are on. He smiles and gives short answers.
Suddenly, out of anxiety, I asked involuntarily.
“Aren’t you going to die suddenly from this?”
“Swimming-“
Sohee smiled lightly and asked.
“Do you wish to die?”
“No.”
I knew it would be like this.
‘Cause I’m here to save you This crazy supporter.
After answering bluntly, Sohee hugged my waist and nodded.
“Then I will do as you say.”
“OK.”
He put his hand on his head and stroked it, waiting for a while.
A mild sheep that has become obedient.
I don’t know what happened, but for now, it seems that my sincerity and persuasion worked.
Even if it gets a little weird, just listen carefully to what I say, well.
Tidik-
The maddening fire subsided and I gently removed the cloak.
One by one, the people in sight walk away from the pillar and walk out into the hallway.
The children whose lights had already been turned on are already walking slowly from the end.
“Then let’s go too.”
When I reach out my hand while looking at the children, Sohee stares at my hand.
“Yeah!”
Soon after, he smiles brightly, holds his hand, and slowly follows him from behind.
One two. Three… Eleven.
Fortunately, all the people who got sucked into the gate are there.
3 males and 8 females.
While I was waving my hand loudly and announcing my survival, someone pointed behind me as if to look.
“…Under-“
At the end of the corridor, a gigantic, white temple that could only be found in Greece was shining.
I turn my head and look at the kids, but my eyes are strange.
We got close enough to exchange voices, but everyone kept their mouths shut
A situation where each other glances at each other’s face.
At that moment, without realizing it, my hands were full of strength.
“Min So-hee.”
“Yeah. I am here.”
“Did you see the quest window?”
“No. I think you don’t want to see it.”
Shall we check?
He shook his head at Sohee who was asking.
“What did I say?”
Warmth is transmitted to the warm hand that answered my question.
“Just trust my brother.”
Yes.
So much-
All of them are not in good condition, but they do not appear to be seriously injured.
The faces of the kids who see me as acting instructors brighten up.
“After… I lived once.”
“Guys.”
“Your brother.”
“Ha… I’m glad…”
“For now, everyone-“
The moment when almost all of the kids are gathered in one place.
A high-pitched voice rips through the night sky.
“That bitch!!!”
Mijoo walks from afar and checks us out, gasping for breath and screaming.
Mi-joo pointed at So-hee, who was standing behind me, stamping her feet frantically and shouting again.
“I, that bitch is a sacrifice–!!! Absolutely-!”
Years at the farthest pole.
Oh Mi-joo, her long hair scorched from the fire and her clothes ruined, looks at me and cries out.
“Brother-! It’s that year-! That bitch-!!! That crazy- Creepy-“
“Hey fuck you.”
I let go of Sohee’s hand and ran to Mijoo’s collar.
Mijoo gasping for breath while being lifted up by me.
I slapped the bitch’s cheek in my hand.
Match-!
“Shut up. You know something will come out and you scream.”
Match-!
“Kuk-!”
Match-!
“Crazy bitch. If you want to search, go alone and search. Don’t come here and give a damn.”
Match-!
“Wrong-wrong-“
Dump-
When Mi-joo let go of her hand, she collapsed.
I turn around and everyone glances at me and the others with terrified expressions.
“I got all the quest windows.”
Children nodding their heads while looking at their eyes.
It reminded me of the phrase in the quest window I had seen earlier.
Ambiguous puns and puzzles.
One of them.
‘I am the representative of mankind, the priest.’
A puzzling phrase.
But I pointed over my head with confidence.
Sohee’s job that I can see.
And Mijoo, who screamed as soon as our eyes met.
Miju was looking at something above my head, not me.
“I see you here.”
A hand gesture tapping the air.
But everyone naturally looks over my head.
“What is written on it?”
While everyone is silent, someone slowly opens their mouth.
“It is written that it is the place of sacrifice.”
“Yes.”
Also.
*
Once I went up the corridor and entered the temple.
Unlike the brightly lit hallway, the temple was cold and empty as if dead.
The innermost altar and the large crow statue under the altar.
We unpacked there and lit a bonfire.
As I sit down with the body warmed up a little, I feel the tension slowly release.
“I… Older brother.”
A rough-haired boy with a rugged impression warms up by the fire and slowly notices it.
“If you are the priest… Do you know who the shaman is?”
What to answer
I sat quietly and watched the children.
It looks like he’s waiting for my mouth to open even while watching.
He replied by tossing a lightly rolling twig into it.
“Yes.”
A complexion that instantly brightens.
However, they quickly glance at each other and notice each other.
Other people must have roughly guessed the content of the quest.
Cleared when the Priest dedicates Miko.
A simple and easy way that doesn’t fit A-class.
And surely one of us must be sacrificed.
That’s why we’ll look at each other like this.
“I… Then.”
“I have no intention of dedicating anyone.”
Mouth shuts at my firm answer.
As I slowly get up from my seat, everyone looks at me.
“I know who the shrine maiden is.”
A lot of hardened and tense faces.
“But my goal is for everyone to get out of here.”
At my words, everyone shuts their mouths and slowly sinks into trouble.
“Under-!”
A piercing sneer could be heard from the other side of the pillar.
Miju, sitting far away from me, glared at me and snorted.
“That’s right~ Everyone wants to get out alive~”
Mijoo is sarcastic with a cheeky expression.
His legs trembled, perhaps because he was frightened, but his voice did not tremble.
“Hey. Fools. Think-“
She raised her trembling arm and pointed at So-hee, brightening her eyes.
“When you see me, you say you might die, and you worry about the problem of only one sacrifice, one thing? Look- look over there-“
Mi-joo, who swung her arm to look at us, cried out in a fit of madness.
“It’s an A-class narrative hidden gate. It wouldn’t be strange if we all died right now- but why would you act like a hero of justice- huh?”
The faces of the children who are getting hard.
Mijoo, who sensed the passing atmosphere, shouted with confidence.
“Hey, wouldn’t that sacrifice that always turns cheap? Huh?
Unlike us who are insignificant, I wonder if he is suddenly saying something absurd because the little bitch he always carries around is a sacrifice.
Because he has the confidence to survive- Because he doesn’t care what happens to us—!!!”
My eyes met Mijoo and giggled like a crazy person.
“Am I right? Kick- I’m right. Isia. You think I don’t know anyone like you? Huh? Giggling-Tell me-Tell me who the shaman is–!!!”
“…Put-“
She covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
The air cools in an instant.
He chuckled lightly and slowly shook his head.
“Oh really. Annoying.”
A few slowly take their positions in my rapidly changing mood.
Taktak-
As I hit the floor with my forefoot, an echo echoes in the empty temple.
“Okay. I’ll let you know.”
Back-
A few people with weapons.
He looked around at them and whispered.
“Oh Mi-joo is a shaman.”
“…What?”
A face that smirks a lot and then quickly loses blood.
He smiled as he looked at his eyes, which widened as if they were going to pop out.
“The shaman is Oh Mi-joo. It’s you.”
