Sehyuk added further.
To eradicate doubts and anxieties.
“But the situation is not good.”
Sehyuk took a quick look around.
“There is a monster impersonating Mr. Kim Seok-kyung, so I can’t guarantee that there aren’t any monsters imitating humans in here.”
“Then what do you mean?”
Fluffy, slightly frowning.
Sehyuk immediately presented the answer he had prepared.
“I plan to investigate it myself, so I would appreciate it if you would follow me.”
At those words, Bokseul Bokseul confidently beat his chest.
“Of course! I already decided to follow you.”
Bokseul Bokseul, who had been saying that, suddenly made a blank expression.
“But where do you plan on going? I don’t know what’s in other areas yet.”
Naturally, there was an answer to that too.
“I have a rough idea of what kind of monsters there are in this area.”
“Oh, so we’re going to where there’s a monster similar to that imitator?”
“That’s not it.”
He begins to explain calmly.
“I see. It’s the only area where we don’t know what kind of giant monster is there.”
“Then that area is likely to be the most dangerous here.”
Seok-kyung Kim, who had been quietly listening from the side, chimes in with a trembling voice.
“Probably so. Still, I don’t plan on going too deep, so it’s okay. I know what kind of monsters there are.”
After deciding to go towards the crystal cave.
We set out on an expedition.
A crystal cave with a strange atmosphere where blue and pink glow alternately.
All the stones are made of transparent and smooth crystal, so that sometimes faces are visible.
“I can’t even predict what’s going to happen in this area.”
Cha Ye-seong is embarrassed.
But it’s actually good.
If the prophecy doesn’t work, then it’s definitely related to that hologram impersonator.
Today’s guide is different.
“Bam.”
A small dragon stretches out its hand to one side.
‘The place with the highest magic power density. The boss will probably be there.’
Sehyuk could also feel it, even if only slightly.
Deep within this cave, waves of ominous magical power are emanating.
A small dragon is still a dragon, no matter how young it is.
Due to the nature of the race, its magical wavelength can be analyzed more deeply.
Follow the dragon deep into the cave.
While dealing with the mushroom and bug monsters with crystal horns all over their bodies that were along the way.
“It’s hard, but it’s good because I got a lot of useful stuff.”
Boksulboksul, holding magic crystals in both hands, grinned.
A stone attached to the crude armor they wear.
It is said to be a superior compatible material.
‘We can now supply more powerful weapons.’
Given what’s to come, the group’s growing power is a welcome development.
It goes deeper and deeper.
Aurora Lake, past the crystallized trees.
And they finally discovered one unusual-looking structure.
“This looks like a very uniquely shaped building.”
A large cavern so high that the ceiling cannot be seen.
Inside, Sehyuk and his party discovered an ancient civilization made entirely of crystal.
“A giant spaceship covered in crystals… is that it? But the part attached to it looks exactly like a building.”
A gigantic spaceship the size of two apartments combined and the height of a four-story building.
The massive spaceship lay half-buried on the cave floor, broken in several places.
As if it had fallen.
It was not normal.
“Is it okay if I come in?”
Fluffy, expressing concern.
At those words, the little dragon nods.
Climb the smooth crystal ramp extending from the entrance of the spaceship.
Meanwhile, Cha Ye-seong frowns at an object placed on the crystal ramp.
“This statue is quite realistic.”
It was a crystal-shaped mushroom sculpture.
So vivid, as if it were moving.
Seeing that sight, Sehyuk felt a slight ominous feeling, but put it aside for a moment.
Because the anxiety you have now is meaningless.
The building, which looked like a flying object, was also filled with incomprehensible alien technology inside.
Broken glass tubes, all kinds of experimental equipment, transparent plates with indecipherable writing.
These are alien objects that appear quite different and much more advanced than the civilization before its destruction.
“At this rate, I won’t be able to read it.”
Goh Jeong-hwan looks at several transparent plates and holds his head.
While we were all looking for clues together.
Sehyuk approached the paintings on the wall.
The blue interior of the spaceship.
Above it, pink glowing lines were forming various pictures.
It looks like a mural from an ancient civilization like Egypt.
Sehyuk slowly scanned the mural.
Choi Sung-hyun, who was watching the scene, brought her to stand next to him.
“This mural seems to depict how this spaceship came to be here.”
“I guess so.”
The first was a picture of a tentacle-like monster merging with a spaceship and traveling through dimensions.
“Because the design of this spaceship is exactly like the one we’re on now.”
The second image shows a tentacle-ridden spaceship caught in a whirlpool and plummeting to the ground.
The third was a picture of a wrecked spaceship with tentacles extending out, with mushrooms, bugs, and lizardmen drawn in front of it.
“These mushrooms and bugs are similar to the crystal monsters we saw in this cave earlier.”
“Yeah. Then I guess I’ll be able to learn a lot more.”
Sehyuk reconstructed the situation based on the mural on this spaceship.
A tentacled alien who appears to be the owner of the spaceship.
In order to survive, he built an ark that would allow him to travel to another, more sane dimension.
Then, due to a defect in the spaceship, it crash-landed in this area.
The last picture, with the alien extending its tentacles, is unclear as to what it represents.
However, one thing is certain.
“Then, it is highly likely that the crystallization of the monsters we saw earlier was caused by the influence of this alien.”
Choi Sung-hyun makes a serious expression.
A powerful alien being that can transform entire monsters into other beings.
Moreover, people here may be subject to such crystallization.
“Can you handle it?”
“I have to try my best.”
“I hope the crystallization phenomenon doesn’t apply to us as well.”
However, Choi Sung-hyun’s wish did not come true.
Because another clue has emerged to support his hypothesis.
It was when the two were looking at the mural and talking.
Cha Ye-seong and Go Jeong-hwan approached them with serious faces.
In his hand he held a plate made of translucent metal, similar to a piece of paper with letters written on it.
“I found your research journal.”
“Oddly enough, it’s in a language we can read. It’s really strange.”
Sehyuk immediately accepted the translucent plate.
Surprisingly, the board had letters written in Korean.
“Suspicious.”
There’s no way an alien stuck in the ground would encounter a Korean.
And yet, Korean is clearly written there.
“Perhaps this alien wanted to pass this information on to anyone it could reach?”
Seonghyeon Choi proposes a hypothesis.
Sehyuk also largely agreed with that statement.
A mural painted on a wall.
If you look at the fact that he drew a picture, you might think he wanted to convey as much information as possible.
I don’t know if it’s true or not.
Slowly read down the translucent plate.
Sehyuk couldn’t help but bite his lips when he saw what was written on the board.
“This is really great. And if this is true, this is fucking shit.”
The transparent plate contained information that would answer the questions Sehyuk had when he first entered this area.
Why is this area isolated from the outside world?
Why were the survivors never found after they disappeared?
After going through numerous scientific formulas, Choi Sung-hyun accepts the board and slowly reads the contents.
“In conclusion, this is a dimensional rift in the underworld.”
“It was a secret place that was connected to the surface for about a month every few hundred years… .”
And then, the faces of the group that realized what this meant hardened.
“That means, if I don’t get out of here within a month….”
“Yes. If the connection with the ground is lost, escape will be impossible.”
Time attack.
This time again, time did not seem to be on Sehyuk’s side.
“We need to kill the giant monsters as quickly as possible and collect escape materials.”
“that’s right.”
Sehyuk gripped his sword tightly.
“So, since we’ve come this far, I think it would be a good idea to find out who the boss here is.”
“It sounds like a good idea.”
Choi Sung-hyun agrees with that statement and holds up a transparent plate.
“It was also written at the beginning of the board.”
Choi Sung-hyun tapped the transparent plate with his finger.
“I have shared the truth of the world here in case I die.”
As soon as I heard that, I got a feeling.
The truth of the world.
Maybe it’s a story related to the ‘source’ that was spewing out monsters.
“If we investigate the final boss of this area, we will be able to find out what kind of being this alien is and what truth he speaks of in the world.”
Sehyuk nodded in agreement with those words.
“We’ve decided to follow you anyway, so just make the decision.”
Bokseul Bokseul looked like he didn’t know, but he agreed to follow Sehyuk anyway.
“Once you’ve decided, leave as quickly as possible.”
He takes notes of the murals and a few tablets that appear to be research journals before exiting the spaceship.
I plan on coming back again if I can deal with all the monsters before this place closes.
Going deeper and deeper.
The sparkling light of the crystal becomes cloudy.
The deep part of the cave was quiet with no movement except for Sehyuk and his party.
And as you go further inside, suspiciously realistic crystal statues start to appear on both sides of the road.
Dynamically posed statues of mushrooms, bugs, lizardmen, and jumping fish are lined up on either side.
There was a strange feeling of discomfort.
“As expected, this is… .”
“Yeah. It’s best to avoid touching the sides of the road as much as possible. It looks like there’s something there.”
As time passes, we arrive at the end of the cave.
There, Sehyuk and his party looked up at what was in front of them.
A small spaceship with all sorts of mechanical devices attached to it.
A shape similar to the giant spaceship we saw earlier.
You can tell they come from the same place.
“But, it seems like you can’t get close to the spaceship.”
As Cha Ye-seong said, a blue, translucent net was blocking the path to the spaceship like a wall.
While looking around, looking for a space to enter the spaceship.
Gugu palace!
The cave walls began to shake.
Everyone looks around at the vibration.
Meanwhile, Cha Ye-seong raised his head and looked at the spaceship.
A look of horror spread across her face.
A spaceship the size of a small cabin.
Because from that spaceship, giant, translucent blue tentacles began to spread out wildly.
Other people who saw the sight were also overwhelmed and just stood there still.
Except for Sehyuk.
At the same time, a voice began to flow into everyone’s heads.
[Worship me.]
Telepathy with a crackling noise.
“Ugh!”
The moment that word spread, most of Sehyuk and his group held their heads in pain.
[You little creatures who have kept my records.]
[I am a great being who will gather you.]
[Follow my will.]
Sehyuk could feel it too.
The powerful magic of fear contained in that voice.
The tentacle alien in front of you is, I guess, a transcendent being.
And at least he didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving them alone.
They kneel before the spaceship one by one.
Sehyuk and his party are completely neutralized.
But, just one.
The situation changes drastically due to Sehyuk’s presence.
[hmm?]
Sehyuk was not terrified.
At that sight, the tentacles froze in confusion.
