96 – Follow a friend to Gangnam.

“…? What are you doing all of a sudden…”

“I’ll explain later, so run man!”

Let’s look around in a hurry.

‘…Where is the specification?’

Of course, I had no clue about the geography of the place I was visiting for the first time.

I never thought that the first visit to Merveus Kingdom would end up like this…

I desperately need to find a way by retracing the description in the novel.

‘… A guild.’

An armed man and woman were passing by the roadside.

“Hey!!”

“Yes…Yes?!”

“The Black Fang Guild! Where is the Black Fang Guild?!”

The Black Fang Guild is the name of the guild where dressed up Adela and Sung Jin-ha worked as wandering mercenaries as helpers.

Fortunately, it’s probably because it’s a guild with some name value.

A man in armor gave him directions with a bewildered expression.

“Sure… This way…”

“Thank you! Follow me!”

After a while.

“…Here.”

It wasn’t long before I was able to find the Black Fang Guild building.

Beep-!

As soon as you open the front door, you lightly pass by the desk with the attendant,

I ran to the job request bulletin board for mercenaries.

‘Couldn’t someone have taken the request already?’

In terms of time, Adela and Seong Jin-ha were about two weeks later than when they took on the request, so

In the worst case, it could be that someone has already solved the request.

“… Eliminate the steel slime… No.”

Red-toothed orcs… Not even frost wolves.

Around the time when I started to feel nervous about the passing time.

“I found it.”

I was able to find the order of the quest I wanted.

‘Subdue the Golden Bat.’

Originally, in the novel, she joins the guild as a helper and accepts requests as a disguised identity using the queen’s power, but…

Of course, there was no time to apply for a helper at the desk at leisure.

All you need is the coordinates of the quest.

I urgently enter the coordinates of the order into my smartwatch.

“Okay…!”

I don’t know the specific location with this,

You can depend on the direction to the approximate location.

I looked at the smart watch to check the location,

15 Minutes passed.

Now we have 3 hours left.

Let’s run with Seong Jin-ha again,

Sung Jin-ha, who kept following behind with a sullen expression, finally opened his mouth.

“…So. Now I don’t have to tell you why.”

“Noisy. When have I ever done anything to harm you? Just trust hyung and follow him.”

I’m going through all this trouble because of someone…!

“…If you still don’t trust me, I think it’s like a secret order from my older sister.”

“Master?”

“Oh. But my sister doesn’t know.”

“What the hell is that…?!”

“Anyway. We quietly waited for the knights at the inn today. Good luck later.”

“You… Ha… No.”

Still, it’s fortunate that I’m very close with Seong Jin-ha.

If it were like before,

I wouldn’t have tried to follow you if you told me not to say nonsense.

I ran about 20 more minutes like that,

We finally arrived at our destination, the Golden Bat Cave.

As described in the novel, the entrance to the cave glows in a soft golden color.

‘…Is that right?’

I’m about to step into the cave…

“Isn’t this a dangerous place? Besides, it’s a cave, and there are no torches or light magic…”

– Flash!!

“What?”

Entering the cave with the holy sword summoned,

From behind, Seong Jin-ha was looking at me with a bewildered expression.

“You… That sword. You didn’t buy it instead of a fluorescent light…?”

“… Of course not.”

Perhaps.

– Mr. Rai…? It seems a bit late to reply…

It’s because of my mood.

Let’s go a little deeper into the cave,

The road was divided into two forks.

“…Where are you going?”

‘The left side is the golden bat’s room with the boss. The right side is a room with traps.’

And where we have to go today…

Chuck-

The middle of the crossroads,

A piece of rock with an unnatural pattern engraved somewhere.

When I got closer and touched it,

You can feel the smooth texture different from the surrounding limestone.

“…Here.”

“Huh?”

“Put your hand here.”

This is later,

It was a room where the arrangements left by the previous warriors before leaving the dimension were hidden for the descendants of the warriors.

The soft golden light pouring out from the entrance of the cave,

It was not the power of the golden bat, but the influence of the remnants left by the hero.

The golden bat was born in the first place because of the mana of light of the previous warrior.

‘Now, if Seong Jin-ha touches the pattern…’

By the way.

-Jiing!

“… Huh?”

Before Sung Jin-ha even touched him,

A wing-shaped pattern began to emerge from the smooth stone plate.

‘… Wait a minute. Why does this just float?’

I’m sure I’m the only one who touched the stone plate…!

Without time for further thoughts,

The light pouring out of the pattern swallowed the two of them.

**

“… Great.”

My head hurts.

‘What the hell is that Lai…’

Occasionally, he showed himself doing stupid things, but

This time, the degree is different.

The teacher’s secret order that Adela doesn’t know about…

What kind of nonsense is that?

It’s not even shrimp crackers without shrimp…

Let’s dig up the rustling stone dust and stand up.

A different scenery came into view.

“…This.”

A divine light that leaks out of a small hole in the ceiling and brightly illuminates the entire cave.

And…

A single man standing under it.

“What is it? If you were awake…?”

It’s not Rye.

“…Who are you?”

Looking closely,

The height and features were slightly different.

A man with dark hair slightly shorter than Lai.

To be wary of an unknown man met in a sudden metastasis,

Pull out your sword…

“…!”

No.

The sword that must have been hung from the waist,

I couldn’t catch him.

At the same time, the man’s mouth opened.

“… You’re here.”

A faint voice.

Even considering that it is a cave and the voice resonates,

It sounded blurry, as if there was filtering in the middle of something.

“You’re here.. What are you talking about?”

Wack-

The man turned his head to show his face.

Black hair of moderate length,

A man with black eyes.

“…Human?”

“Yes. Human. And…”

A man’s calm eyes,

It is dyed in a brilliant golden light.

“…Is also your ancestor.”

‘Wait.’

This look,

Somewhere…

I’ve seen it before.

“Come on.”

Pu-wook-

A sword of light appeared out of nowhere,

It flies into the floor right in front of you and gets stuck.

-Sueuk.

At the same time, the man picked up the sword of light that appeared out of nowhere,

He opened his mouth with a mischievous smile.

“Where. Do you want to see your descendants?”

“…!”

Kaang!

I hurriedly cut the sword of the man who suddenly rushed at me.

So,

The trials of the previous warriors have begun.

**

-Glance.

At the time Seong Jin-ha and the previous warrior were sharing swords.

“…A good fight.”

Between the rocks a little far away,

I was watching the fight between Seong Jin-ha and the hero.

-…Jade.

“…”

The appearance of former warriors fighting that we have only seen in our memories.

Leah was looking at the scene of the fight with eyes that looked like she would burst into tears at any moment.

‘…I wonder if I’ll take a picture and show it to Veronica.’

Sug-

“… No.”

If you bring up the memory of someone you’ll never see again,

It wouldn’t be a good thing for Veronica.

It’s embarrassing to ask where the picture was taken…

“Huh… I’ll have to finish this soon.”

Looking at the clock,

I already had only one hour left.

It must have taken quite a while before I opened my eyes.

Because the novel only tells about the description during the battle and Seong Jin-ha’s enlightenment,

I don’t know the exact time required.

‘…What if I’m late?’

It is the remnant of mana left by a hero who couldn’t even demonstrate half of his prime.

A warrior was a warrior.

It is true that we met Seong Jin-ha in a more mature state than in the novel, but

It might be difficult in an hour…

“Huh?”

-Kaang!

Has it been about 20 minutes?

“…”

Seong Jin-ha’s expression was strangely distorted as he frantically accepted the warrior’s sword.

“What… What’s wrong with him?”

Are you feeling unwell?

However,

Contrary to my worries.

-Kaang! Kaang Kaang!

From noble mtl dot com

Sung Jin-ha, who was busy defending, suddenly started to go on the offensive.

“No. Are you crazy?! Why all of a sudden…!”

By the way.

-Kaang!

“Huh?”

-Kaang Kaang!

One sum one sum.

The more you divide the sword,

Gradually, Seong Jin-ha begins to overwhelm the warrior.

Then, this time, the hero’s welcome,

With a bewildered expression, he started to block Seong Jin-ha’s attack.

“Nonsense. It’s only been 20 minutes.”

No matter how much Seong Jin-ha has grown, how?

At that time.

-… Rai. Are you stupid?

“Huh?”

When I turned my head,

Lea was looking at me with a pitiful expression from the side.

“…Why?”

-The swordsmanship that Jade’s illusion is currently using must be the swordsman’s swordsmanship, right?

“Isn’t it?”

-Then, isn’t it easy for Jinha to respond to the swordsmanship that Rai has used countless times?

…Ah!

After listening to Leah’s explanation, I looked at the battle scene again.

“…Really?”

How to attack and how to block,

And even the way we respond to crises.

It perfectly matched the method I use.

Yes,

Because the swordsmanship I use was that person’s swordsmanship.

In this case, Seong Jin-ha knows more about the opponent’s swordsmanship,

The warrior side is facing Seong Jin-ha for the first time today, so it was a fight where Seong Jin-ha had no choice but to have an advantage.

“…I’m sorry about that, Mr. Jade.”

I accidentally did something sorry for my swordsmanship teacher.

-Changgang!

After a little more time has passed,

The warrior’s sword flew away in Seong Jin-ha’s counterattack, which aimed for a big action.

“…”

“Wow… This is a bit of a surprise, isn’t it?”

Ignoring the virtuous admiration of the previous warriors,

Seongjin looked around him with strange eyes.

“…I never thought my descendents would be so full of talent, as if they already knew my swordsmanship…”

“Rainya?”

“Huh?”

“No way, I changed my facial features with magic to play a joke like this…”

“What are you talking about?”

As if the reaction was not what I expected,

The hero’s welcome waved his hands around at Seong Jin-ha with a puzzled expression.

“That…”

“I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding… Come on.”

Poof-!

“…?”

Chuck.

“It will help you move forward. There is no such thing as poison, so don’t worry.”

That’s it.

The warrior’s vision just handed over to Seong Jin-ha is a serum that contains his power.

If you eat that, Sungjin Ha will be able to use her blood liberation.

‘Twenty minutes left.’

Now you have to reveal yourself and ask the illusion to send you back to its original location.

With that in mind, let’s emerge from the crack in the rock.

“What… Not really…”

“… Huh?”

“Sorry. Take a break…”

– Flash!!!

A light burst from the warrior’s vision that met my eyes.

“Keugh!!”

At the same time,

I started to feel something hot flowing into my body.

‘… Mana? No, a little different…’

The next time you open your eyes.

I was back at the first two forks.
