There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

58 – Baby Shark

In the dark all around.

I was falling endlessly through the wind.

-Shuaak.

I recognized that the direction I was looking at was the floor, judging from the fact that my bangs fluttered backwards.

‘I’m really going this time.’

I managed to come this far after passing through countless obstacles, but the end was a fall.

I was so dumbfounded that I didn’t even get angry.

After all, this world must hate me. Otherwise, I can’t explain the situation I’m in right now.

– Kyuuu!

Just then, I heard the sound of Kyadol from behind.

When I turned my head, I saw a dim light like a night light in the hood of the hoodie I was wearing.

From noble mtl dot com

It must have been blown away because of the lightness and luckily caught on the hood.

I carefully took it out and put it in his hand.

– Kyuwoo.

Kyudol feels relieved when I touch him.

As I was looking at that guy, a weak sound came out of his mouth.

“Kyumdol. I guess I’ve come this far.”

-Kyuuu?!

A guy who is embarrassed by my attitude of giving up my will to live.

– Kyuwoo!

“It will fall soon, so if you do well, you can live? Ordinary people will die if it rises to this level.”

It was absurd, but thanks to him, I was able to figure out the timing.

Goodbye. Kwydol.

Poof.

I tossed the stone I was holding in the opposite direction to where it was falling.

Who will buy… No, the flesh spirit must live.

– Gwuuu!

The guy who tells me something until the very end even while flying far away.

“Cover your head…?”

I was sure I was going to die already, but I wasn’t the type to say such things without meaning, so I just put my arms in front of his head as instructed.

– Plop!

I involuntarily drew in my breath as I felt that I was being hit with my outstretched arm and the part of my face that was not covered.

-Bogrrr! Bogreureuk!

Water came in instead of air, and my nose tingled.

I almost lost my mind for a moment, but I made my way upwards, gesticulating my instinct to live.

“Puha!”

I was just trying to get up to the surface and fill my lungs with air.

“Cough! Cough!”

Before that, I had no choice but to cough, and I could barely breathe after barely stopping the cough.

“…I buy this.”

I looked around and still couldn’t see anything. Only touch makes me realize I’m drowning.

“Haa…”

The joy of living is short-lived. More frustration set in.

My body was slowly letting my body understand that if I had accepted the inevitable death when I just fell, I would die in the current situation.

“If I could see anything, I would at least try…”

I’m probably on the middle floor. It was the only area with water.

While I was feeling helplessness that I hadn’t felt when hanging out with party members, I heard a familiar sound in my ears.

– Kyuuu!

– Fondant.

After a while, the kkyudoli I threw earlier fell.

“Kyumdol!”

There’s no way a guy with no limbs can swim.

The time when I was about to dive into the water to catch my breath and rescue the squirrel.

-Pong.

I could see a faint luminous light from below, and then Kyadoli floated to the surface.

-Kyuwoo….

You must have been able to float.

“Whew…”

It was a time when I was relieved that I was not alone.

“Ugh!”

The pain that comes when tension is released.

One arm doesn’t listen, probably because it fell to the water earlier and broke it.

“Damn it…”

It was fortunate that my head didn’t explode like a watermelon, but that wasn’t the only problem I had now.

“…”

Even if my arm is fine, I can’t help but think I can get out of here with an arm like this.

– Kyuwoo.

The guy who makes a dejected noise as if he read my thoughts.

“Don’t worry. Spirits won’t die easily.”

– Kwy!

They started scolding me for being joking in this situation.

Who wants to be the owner.

“Then what should I do? It doesn’t change the fact that I’m going to die.”

A person cannot survive three hours in water below 10 degrees Celsius.

I’m not exactly sure what temperature the water I’m in is, but it’ll be enough to drown in it.

“Now that I’m done, you can find a way to live.”

– Kwy!

He is angry with me, asking how he could say such a thing.

“I know. But there’s no way.”

It’s not the sea where your body floats on its own, and if you’re struggling to stay afloat like you’re doing now, you won’t be able to go far. If the body runs out of strength like this, it will be the end.

Drowning.

My autograph was clearly drawn.

If the body loses strength, it will sink as it is, and that’s where it starts.

You only have to endure 5 minutes of pain. That’s enough to drown you.

Did he lose his mind in front of despair? Still, he was rationalizing that this was a comfortable death.

“Wait a minute…”

It reminded me that there are mobs here too.

– Rattle.

Then my body trembled with fear.

That’s because sharks appeared in this area.

Sharks that live in the dark have degenerated eyes and developed hearing.

If there’s a problem, it’s that I’ve already made a lot of noise.

More than enough for them to notice me.

At that time, I was thinking about whether I should put my head down and enter the 5-minute Time Attack.

– Slap.

The rushing water tickled my neck and ran away.

“…”

It could be making a fuss over something trivial.

This is fresh water.

Fresh water with no waves like the sea.

– Slap.

As if it wasn’t an illusion just now, the tide rushes in once more.

There is only one explanation for this phenomenon. That something nearby is approaching me.

– Kwy?!

Immediately, I grabbed my kkwidori and started swimming frantically towards the other side of the current.

Well, if it’s a wise move. How could a man who used to walk on land be able to escape from a shark on his home ground?

However, fear paralyzes reason.

I don’t know what’s right or wrong, I just want to run away from the cause as far away as possible.

-Splash Splash!

As if adrenaline was secreted in a crisis situation, I couldn’t feel any pain even though I was swimming with my arm that had been so painful that I was about to die.

‘Goddess, I did everything wrong. I would have expected to die by drowning, but wasn’t the shark doing it too much?’

An ironic situation in which she resents the goddess who gave her the option of being eaten, and prays for her at the same time.

The moment I swam with all my strength, hoping that there would be land, at least a rock, in front of me.

-Suuk.

I felt something grab me as I was swimming hard, and at the same time, my body was dragged helplessly.

***

Shortly after the porter and Reina disappeared to the ground.

The three people who were left in the situation that unfolded in an instant were dumbfounded.

– Rumble.

The floor, which had been turned off, returned to its original shape as if it had never been before, along with the sound it had heard before.

-Sereung.

The first warrior who came to his senses took out the holy sword.

“Slash!”

A blow swung with emotion overturned the floor, revealing a dark space once again.

The moment the warrior tried to throw himself into that space.

“Stop, warrior.”

Talia stopped such a hero.

“I have to go get it right now, why are you stopping me!”

Although it seemed urgent, Talia still did not give up.

“It’s a waste of effort.”

The words that came out of her mouth heightened the warrior’s emotions.

“Even so? How could you say such a thing, no one else!”

Maybe it’s because he’s often seen Talia, who always clung to him, and he seems angry that he gave up on him so easily.

“Listen to the end! If you fall like this, you must be at the bottom to be normal!”

Then, Talia gets angry in reverse.

She said, pushing the translucent orb floating in her hand.

“If you have eyes, look! The guy here is not located right below!”

A black dot was moving little by little on the mouth she held out.

“This is…”

“After I engraved the spell on the porter for the first time, I made some modifications. This black dot is the porter, and the red dot here is me.”

Looking closely, there was a red dot on it.

“If you see it moving sideways instead of down, it’s probably still alive.”

Talia calmly continued her words, looking at the space exposed on the floor.

“Don’t think this passage is normal. Maybe something magical has been done here as well.”

But she didn’t like her face when she said that either.

“All that remains is to find the porter as soon as possible…”

-Kkaduk.

But even she couldn’t remember the number of her sharp points, so she bit her nails and frowned at her.

“If Reina was there, I’d try talking to the spirits…!”

It was the same that the hero also hovered in the same place with a frustrated heart and couldn’t even do this or that.

“There…”

Polaris opened his mouth in a situation where there was no answer.

“Brother said that. This place is connected to all districts.”

Stop.

The expressions of the two people who heard her words changed.

“…”

“…”

After exchanging glances, the two rose from their seats and abruptly began breaking down the doors in the wall.

“Sister?! Even the hero…?”

When Polaris couldn’t keep up with the situation and was dumbfounded, the hero said.

“Polaris. Break down all the doors in this place.”

“Yes? What do you mean by that?”

“We’ll go get it. Just like we always do.”

“Ah.”

Polaris finally understands, taking out her chain and participating in destroying the ruins.

It didn’t take long to break down all the doors there, and a particularly steep passage caught my eye.

“Hero, what are you going to do now?”

“It’s true we’ve leaned on too much. Without him, we’ll have to do it our way.”

“What bothers you?”

The hero answered Talia’s question as if she was confirming something.

“I will advance while destroying it unconditionally.”

“It should come out like that.”

After that, the two threw themselves into the aisle at the same time.

Then Polaris, who was left alone, muttered.

“Why does Sister Reina not worry about anyone…?”

Then, to avoid being late, he himself followed suit.
