Episode 423. Escape (1)
Hiccup-.
As soon as Minsu finished speaking, hiccups were heard.
As everyone’s heads turned, Arin covered her mouth with a surprised expression.
“I’m sorry… … .”
“It’s okay. I understand completely.”
Who wouldn’t be surprised that half a continent could be blown up by a single bomb?
Meanwhile, Yuri was playing around with Yuri.
“Wow, that old man’s useless ability is also a problem.”
He was now more and more convinced.
‘That old man’s personality is such that he’ll definitely try to blow it up… … .’
In reality, Se-gyeong’s goal was to return to her lab, finish her research, and then detonate the bomb.
And his research progress is 90%.
If we fill in just the remaining 10%, at least one administrative district and up to half of the continent will be blown away.
This must be why Se-gyeong was permanently expelled from the Gol Clan and was not allowed to come near the laboratory.
As Yuri nodded like that, Gunther spoke in a serious tone.
“After hearing the story, it seems like that Goljok named Se-gyeong planned this incident, but he couldn’t have created such a fake dragon lair on his own, so the Baekgeom Byeongdan must have helped him.”
Do-cheol firmly shook his head at Gunther’s story.
“Wrong.”
“yes?”
“This is not a fake Dragon Lair.”
Minsu continued the conversation.
“No matter how elaborately you make a fake, there are some things you can never hide.”
“What is that?”
“Time flies.”
Other masters added explanations to Minsu’s words.
“A labyrinth built thousands of years ago, and materials put into it thousands of years ago. No matter how elaborate the fake is, do we really want to be fooled by something like that?”
“It feels different from the start!”
“It is an indisputable fact that this labyrinth is a real dragon lair.”
“okay.”
Gunther nodded as if he understood the masters’ story.
The artisans of the Gol tribe have reached a considerable level in their respective fields.
There were two hundred such craftsmen, and even a master.
How could they not be able to tell the difference between the real and the fake when they have been rolling around in this labyrinth for months?
“You’re lucky. You found a dragon lair.”
“We were just unlucky. We couldn’t find this treasure that was right next to us for hundreds of years. Tsk.”
“Since Se-gyeong couldn’t have known about this, it must have been a dragon lair that the White Swordsmen had already taken possession of. And then they must have given it to him to use in this case.”
A small tongue-clicking sound was heard from one side at the Master’s explanation.
“Tsk, somehow, everywhere I looked, it was empty. It seemed like the houses had already been raided.”
The masters expressed regret, saying that if they had come first, they would have been able to obtain more valuable materials.
Yuri smacked her lips, saying that if she had come first, she would have been the first to brush it off.
Then Julia’s voice interrupted.
“Then I don’t think we have time to be chatting like this? Shouldn’t Segyeong Walker get his hands on the research materials? We should go back immediately!”
Seojun chuckled at her urgent urging.
“Don’t worry too much. Even if our Gol tribe can’t master magic, they’re not weak. Even if Se-gyeong comes in with that White Swordsman or whatever, or those scumbags who pretend to be the Black Swordsman, we’ll be able to stop them.”
Yuri looked at Seojun with a look of bewilderment at his confident story.
“Hey, old man. Didn’t you hear what I said earlier?”
“huh?”
“You said that Segyeong Walker came out of the cradle with the Baekgeom Byeongdan.”
“Did you hear that?”
“You still don’t get it even after hearing it? They ran away from that cradle. Those guys who imitate the Black Swordsmen.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know how great your family is, but would you be able to sneak into the cradle, cause a scene, and then escape safely?”
“… … ?!”
The fact that he was able to leisurely escape from that Black Swordsman Corps means that he had at least that level of force.
Only then did the masters realize the seriousness of the situation.
“Oh, it’s okay! I still have some time!”
“Are you sure?”
“W-Of course! Do you think we didn’t take any precautions against something so dangerous? We did at least take the bare minimum of safety measures, that’s what I’m saying! Besides, it would take at least a few days for Se-gyeong to move that massive amount of research data and facilities!”
“Ah! In the first place, that research requires that facility. So they’re definitely going to tear it apart.”
The explanation that Seojun said and Gayeon added.
At this, Yuri let out a small sigh.
“Well, even so, it’s not like I have that much free time.”
It takes several days just to get from this labyrinth to the sleepless castle of the Gol tribe.
If you think about that time, it would be right to leave right now.
Uduk-.
Yuri turned his shoulder lightly, and May’s voice that he had heard in his head came to mind for a moment.
[Please take care of the rest.]
‘I owe you my life, so I guess I should at least grant you a favor.’
And I owe you my life, not once, but twice.
Even if Yuri had no conscience, she couldn’t just ignore that request.
With that thought, Yuri started walking.
Where he is headed is a place with tightly closed doors.
As Yuri moved, the Gols, including the Sowol Mercenaries, followed her one after another.
Yuri, standing in front of the closed stone gate, said with a smile.
“Okay, then let’s go right away.”
Even though the new century was locked up like this, it was only a stone door.
If it were in the past, I wouldn’t know, but if it were me now, I think I could easily break that much.
‘Let’s see, what should I hit it with?’
The first thought that came to mind was, of course, Asin Sword.
The most recently acquired power.
But Yuri shook her head.
‘The sword is useless.’
The reason why the Asin Sword, which holds infinite possibilities, is feared is because of its absoluteness.
[An attack that can never be stopped because it can evolve into any possibility.]
Because of its absoluteness and physical strength, everyone feared the Sword of Knowledge.
In other words, this meant that adding the absoluteness of the Asin Sword did not necessarily increase physical strength.
So, if the sword were a living thing, it would be understandable, but how could it be powerful against a standing stone?
So, there was only one thing that was best suited to destroying that stone gate right now.
Srrrrung-.
Yuri with his sword drawn.
“Huh? It’s starting.”
“You were so confident, let’s see how good your skills are!”
As everyone watched, the glass sword that had been stretched diagonally began to move slowly.
The sword’s trajectory slowly draws a semicircle above the head.
Along with that, an incredible aura rose from his entire body.
Woohoo-!
When Yuri’s sword finally pointed towards the ceiling.
A crescent moon appeared above his head.
‘Last month.’
Among the things Yuri has mastered, this is the most powerful technique.
The moon’s sword energy, which is much more powerful than the holy sword, is implemented along the tip of the glass sword.
At this, the expressions of the masters who were leisurely lying on the floor and watching the situation hardened slightly.
“hmm?”
“her?”
“uh?”
“huh?”
The masters each expressed their own feeble doubts in their own way.
Their gaze was fixed on the crescent-shaped aura created by the glass.
Amidst the focused gaze of the audience, a crescent moon flew toward the stone gate.
Kwaaaaang-!
A loud noise and a cloud of dust rose up from the stone gate.
Some time passed after that.
Finally, when the dust settled and the sight revealed itself, the corners of Yuri’s mouth slightly quirked.
“Tsk.”
A stone gate with many cracks.
It looked like it would crumble if you hit it, but the fact that it didn’t break right away made Yuri feel bad.
So he swung his sword at the stone gate with a sad expression.
A crescent moon-shaped energy, containing an infinitely weaker energy than the previous month, struck the stone gate.
thud-.
Kwaruruk-!
The stone gate, which was already very cracked, finally came crashing down.
The expressions of those present, which had brightened at the thought that they would finally be able to escape, darkened again for some reason.
On the other hand, Yuri’s expression brightened slightly.
“Somehow it didn’t break at once.”
The stone gate broke apart, revealing in its place a door with a rough metal texture.
The door, which was thought to be made of stone, was actually a metal door covered with stone.
Yuri, who found pride in the fact that her attacks were not weak, swung her sword again and drew a crescent moon.
The golden crescent moon that rose into the world once again flew towards the metal door.
Boom-!
A metal door that makes a short, loud sound and vibrates slightly.
At this, Yuri smiled faintly.
“Oh, it’s a bit hard?”
I don’t think this will work out as a normal month.
So Yuri activated the madman.
Woof-!
The two mana cores in his flesh and blood resonated, and a golden glow began to form all over his body.
Then, finally, a golden crown was created on Yuri’s head.
The Sowol mercenary group members, who had already seen such a sight several times, did not think much of it, but others thought differently.
“Your head glows. What an amazing ability.”
“It would be useful when working in a dark mine. Maybe we could learn from it?”
The majority of the Gol tribe are intrigued by the sight of the glowing crown.
“Huh?!”
“… … ?!”
“T-That can’t be happening?!”
“That’s… … !”
The masters jumped up from their seats in shock.
“… … .”
And even Julia, without saying a word, with her eyes full of wonder.
Amidst the various gazes, Yuri was creating the moon with all her might.
Then finally, the shape of the moon that is much larger than a crescent moon and is close to a full moon.
A glass moon, brightly illuminating the dark passage, flew toward the metal door.
Kwaaaaang-!
The door slammed into the wall with a loud bang, causing the entire passage to shake.
At this, everyone opened their eyes with their ears closed and expectations filled them, and Yuri also looked at the door with expectations.
The door that everyone’s eyes were on was…
“Are you okay?”
“… Are you okay?”
“It’s completely clean?”
…contrary to the loud noise, it was so normal.
So, a foolish voice came out from Yuri, who had higher expectations than anyone else.
“Oh, shit… It’s so fucking hard.”
Uh… This… This isn’t right?
Yuri’s eyes, which had been confident at first, were shaking as if there had been an earthquake.
***
Two days after the explosion in the underground labyrinth.
A huge shadow appeared above the green trees of the great forest.
Birds of prey, startled by the sudden disappearance of the sun, fly up with a flapping sound.
Not long after, sunlight once again illuminated the forest as if it had never existed before.
And then, Se-gyeong, who had one foot in the cave entrance, took a deep breath.
“Tseuup-ha!”
A smell that digs into the nostrils.
That was the smell of home.
‘Finally… you’re back!’
Although it is only the beginning, if you follow this cave all the way, you will arrive at your hometown, Bulyeoseong.
That fact was truly moving.
But that was only for a moment.
Madness flashed in Se-gyeong’s eyes.
‘It’s over there. My research data!’
Of course, this includes research materials as well as the equipment needed for research.
The things that took decades of dedication to complete were sleeping underground in that cave.
And finally, the time has come to hold those things I had dreamed of in my arms again.
Se-gyeong, unable to bear the emotion, looked back and urged him on.
“Come on… let’s go!”
Se-gyeong shouted at the hundreds of Baekgeom Byeong-sang and quickly ran forward using her short legs.
Peter gestured to his subordinates as he watched his back moving away.
“Move as planned.”
“Yes, please be safe and achieve your goal, Vice-Captain.”
“You don’t have to worry about me.”
As Peter answered lightly, hundreds of Baekgeom Byeongdan soldiers ran ahead and chased Se-gyeong, who had already run away.
Peter, who was left alone to watch the scene, closed his eyes.
The Baekgeom Byeongdan mobilized for this operation was a total of 500 people.
Some of them were tasked with helping Segyeong gather research materials, but the majority were tasked with causing chaos in the Goljok’s sleepless castle.
And all of that was just to attract attention so that he could infiltrate the forbidden city of the sleepless night.
‘You must get it.’
Peter opened his eyes with determination.
Flash-!
He ran forward quickly, his dark eyes darkened.
Towards the sleepless castle of the Goljok.
