282 Episode Drift (2)

I suddenly had a thought.

That stone that Amelia is holding now… … .

Couldn’t that stone be the ‘treasure’ of that Noark Castle?

Of course, it was still just an unfounded intuition.

“… … What is that stone?”

Like a barbarian, he asked calmly.

However, Amelia’s answer was merciless.

“never mind.”

Well, don’t worry about it, or do it well then.

‘Once you see the reaction, that ‘treasure’ seems right… … .’

I don’t think I’ll be able to answer any more questions here.

So I stopped paying attention to that stone and focused on other parts.

Right now, there was something that took precedence over curiosity.

Pitch-!

Like the glass in an aquarium, there is a gap in the barrier that blocks the water, and the water starts flowing through it.

“Soon the Sanctuary will disappear.”

It means you have to prepare slowly.

I first picked up my mace that fell on the floor and pieces of the smashed breastplate and put them in the subspace.

and… … .

“What are you doing? Come on. Unless you want to be swept away by the water.”

An additional rope was pulled out.

Realizing what I was trying to do, Amelia frowned.

“You don’t want to use scrolling?”

“Oh, you mean multi-teleport scrolling?”

Novel from https://readwn.com

Multi-teleportation scrolling was central to Plan B.

It was an item I made after asking Kyle if he could make a similar scroll later because I was impressed with what happened during the Battle of the Abyss Lord Verzac.

However, the maximum number of people is only 2 people.

It was not possible to specify coordinates, and the feature was that the scroll could only be moved to a place where there was a registered ‘coordinate transmitter’.

‘If it hadn’t lowered the performance that way in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to make it scroll like this.’

Oh, by the way, Raven has a ‘coordinate transmitter’.

I usually put it in a sub-space, but this time, as I said in advance, it must have been taken out.

In other words, you can go directly to your colleague by tearing the scroll.

However… … .

“I must have caught him too, it’s not in a dangerous situation, so what do you use those expensive things for?”

It’s crazy to write this to make things a little easier.

Kyle, that’s the gentleman. He said he would make it again whenever he got the ingredients… … .

When do you get all those ingredients?

Aside from being expensive, most of them were rare items that were difficult to supply.

“Then come and sit down. If the water runs out anyway, my colleagues will come and save me.”

“Then until the water goes out?”

Well, I’m talking plainly.

You have to hold your breath

It’ll take a few minutes, can’t you stand it?

“… … All right, I’ll take care of it.”

Soon, Amelia took out a nail from the subspace and drove it to the floor. Then he took the rope from me and tied it to his body.

“Oh, when you’re done, help me. I only have one hand.”

“… … They do things differently.”

What do you mean, I’ll help you anyway.

As I hurrahed, I raised my remaining hand upwards, and Amelia tied my torso up with a rope.

Then you are ready with this.

Pitch-!

We chatted for a while watching the water pouring out through the holes in the sanctuary.

Surprisingly, the conversation started with Amelia.

“It seems the pain is over now.”

Oh, I just hadn’t thought of that.

“… … Ugh.”

Pain has a tendency to increase the more you look at it.

So I quickly switched topics.

“Now that I’m talking to you, can you tell me sooner?”

“… … ?”

“That stone. Where the hell are you using it? At a glance, it seems that the ‘treasure’ they coveted is correct.”

“Barbarian, I must have told you not to pay attention.”

Amelia drew the line in a cold voice.

But one of the characteristics of barbarians is that they can’t hold back their questions.

“No, even if I say that, the light keeps coming out of my side, so I can’t help but pay attention! I don’t expect much, so please tell me why it shines. I think you were confused too.”

“that… … .”

Why is this stone shining?

At that question, Amelia faltered and clutched the stone on her hand.

“I do not know either.”

“yes? You don’t know?”

As I stared absurdly, Amelia clicked her tongue once and glared at me proudly.

“Yeah, I don’t know. What’s wrong with that? At first I didn’t know much about this stuff. If only this… … .”

yes, if yes?

It was the time to keep your ears pricked up without interrupting your words.

“The Sanctuary will disappear.”

The barrier that blocked the seawater was broken, and water began to rush in like a disaster movie.

Well, at least at this time.

‘I thought I could figure it out with just a little bit more.’

I’m sorry, but what can I do?

I’ll ask more later when I get a chance.

“Hold your breath! Hold the rope tight!”

The moment I took a deep breath and shouted loudly, the cold sea water covered our bodies.

aa-!

From now on, it’s time for a little bit.

If you just hold your breath and wait, the water will drain out on its own. Then the fellows who went out on the ship will come back and find us.

But is it because the lung capacity is attached to Stormgash’s Essence?

‘Can you hold on to ten minutes?’

Even though I hold my breath, I don’t feel any discomfort.

It was a stat that had no use in the game.

That said, there was no need for an increase in diving time because I set everything up in advance if I had to do an underwater battle.

‘But it might be surprisingly good… … ?’

Unlike games, this is a world where you have to fight with your real body.

The stat of lung capacity will be helpful in battle.

Because I am not Lee Han-soo who used to fiddle with the keyboard. We know how important breathing is in real combat.

‘It seems that my body is slowly getting better.’

As the injury heals, a characteristic tickling sensation radiates throughout the body. It didn’t happen because this sea was not salt water, but had the properties of a potion.

It’s just the effect of the newly acquired skill.

“The energy of the sea permeates the character’s body.”

「The natural regeneration value is greatly increased due to the passive skill [Origin].」

Stormgash’s passive skill [Origin].

The effect is simple.

When it touches seawater, the natural regeneration power increases, and as the duration increases, the increase increases like compound interest.

After about 10 minutes, the severed arm sprouted, maybe?

‘Well, this has nothing to do with anything other than the 6th floor.’

In the past, there was an attempt to put seawater in an empty bottle and use it like a potion, but the result was a huge failure.

The skill didn’t explode even after an hour had passed.

Well, what the hell is the energy of the sea?

‘Anyway, I finally got my regenerative power back.’

A smile spread across my lips without realizing it.

The most disappointing part was resolved as the vampire essence disappeared. It’s a whopping 3 ranks, and it’s not just an essence devoted to regeneration.

[Origin] alone has other effects.

‘If he starts farming the 2nd grade Essence later, he can change it at that time… … .’

It was a time when I couldn’t hide my satisfaction and watched my body recovering in real time.

‘yes?’

Lately I realized

As the water rushed in, the torch that was lit while catching Stormgash was also extinguished.

Even in the water, the front is blurry.

But why… … .

‘Why can’t you see?’

Again, the cause was the unknown stone that Amelia had. Even though it was put in a subspace, it radiantly radiated light and acted as a light source.

As soon as I saw it, a question arose.

Regardless of how something like light leaks out of a subspace where space is fundamentally cut off.

‘I think the light has gotten stronger… … .’

I tilted my head and pointed my finger at Amelia’s subspace bracelet.

It was a gesture with such a meaning.

‘Hey, is that okay?’

At that question, Amelia punched me in the chest.

‘Don’t mind it.’

That’s roughly what it means.

But, wouldn’t it be unusual for me to see the light intensity getting bigger and bigger?

“… … .”

Amelia opened the bracelet and took out the stone.

The stone was emitting a bright light that was incomparable to when it was in the subspace.

Uh, just looking at it makes me feel weird… … .

Cook Cook.

Feeling somewhat anxious, I hurriedly stabbed Amelia’s waist with my finger.

‘No, is this okay?’

The meaning of my gesture must have been conveyed well enough, but Amelia did not respond.

Novel from https://readwn.com

Maybe he wasn’t dazzled, he just stared blankly at the stone like a possessed person.

‘Wow, this makes me even more anxious… … .’

It was a moment when I instinctively felt that something was wrong.

flash-!

Like a stone exploding, a pure white light was emitted, and his eyes were dyed white.

That was the last of my memories.

Just like the day I was first brought into this world.

‘Evil, my eyes!’

So I lost my mind.

***

“An error occurred.”

“The location of the character could not be found.”

「Character log transmission is temporarily suspended.」

“The manager will promptly … … .”

“… … .”

***

When I opened my eyes, there was light beyond it.

A red glow as the sun sets over the horizon.

“Chew!”

Realizing the time, I hurriedly got my upper body up.

“A day has passed?”

It was night when I was fighting Stormgash.

But what about the sunset?

Novel from https://readwn.com

Meaning I’ve been knocked out for at least a day… … .

‘… … Uh, what is this again?’

Soon I was faced with a more serious problem than a day had passed.

‘Where the fuck have all my gear gone.’

Belatedly, I felt empty, and when I checked, there was no equipment.

No, there is nothing, let alone equipment.

The subspace rings and earrings, as well as the ‘acid immunity’ enchanted magic panties, disappeared completely.

Perfect primordial nakedness.

‘Who found the fainting and robbed it?’

Umm, but would you normally kill me if that was the case?

No, there were no other people on this island besides us in the first place.

What were the children who were sent out by boat first, what were they all doing up to this point?

ha, what really happened

“I will turn.”

It is not enough to say that the head is complicated.

Novel from https://readwn.com

My common sense cannot explain this situation at all.

therefore.

“hey.”

She shook Amelia, who was lying next to her.

Oh, of course, his gaze was directed elsewhere.

He, like me, had all his equipment stolen.

“… … Amelia, get up.”

huh? Please, wake up.

You were the owner of the stone.

how did this happen

“under… … .”

I desperately tried to wake Amelia, hoping for an answer, but she didn’t respond.

He’s not dead because he’s breathing.

‘Nimiral.’

I decided to stop waking up and checked the surroundings. It was full of contradictions from the moment I opened my eyes, but there were still things I couldn’t confirm.

‘eight.’

Yes, once the severed arm is still intact, it is said that it was regenerated thanks to the seawater.

‘A nail and a rope.’

The nails and ropes that were fixed to the floor to prevent them from being washed away by the water disappeared.

I didn’t move to another island or anything.

It’s the same spot where you had a fight with Stormgash.

But… … .

‘The ground is already dry.’

The island was completely submerged in seawater, and the sand grains that were trampled on were crumbly.

Is this physically possible in one day?

I don’t know, but the most important thing is something else.

‘But I’m wet.’

If it’s naturally dried in the sun, why are me and Amelia wet? … .

Wow-!

Then, in the distance, I heard the peculiar flapping sound of the insect’s wings.

‘Uh, sir.’

Grade 8 insect-type monster ‘Krungby’.

Originally, the main object that inhabits this Farune Island.

‘Why are you coming out again now?’

It’s not enough to say that I’m excited.

The event ended a day ago, but they’re coming?

In the original case, those guys who should be Zen in the next round of the labyrinth?

‘Anyway, I’ll try to think through the rest.’

I hurriedly got up to my feet.

Then he found a suitable tree that was lying around and grabbed it.

The grip is not comparable to that of a mace, but… … .

‘It’s good for one-time use.’

It’s a rank 8 monster, so this should be enough.

Tadat.

It sprinted off the ground and ran towards the insect monster that had emerged from the bushes.

and… … .

‘Swipe.’

He threw the club of anger.

Puff-!

There is no system message, but I felt a little reassured thanks to the hand feeling that was comfortable as usual.

Yes, Jeongsu is fine.
