Chapter 224 Last Mission (4)
She asked for her na at first because she looked pitiful, but why was she suddenly acting like that again? The current situation didn’t last long.
“Tsk. Now that we’ve t, you look like nothing special.”
Cheon-ma clicked her tongue and shifted her attention away from Elle. Then, she called to Yoon-seok.
“What are you doing? Stand beside .”
“What?”
“Shouldn’t we hurry if we want to get out of this nasty place?”
“Ah, yes…”
If she needed a guide, wasn’t she supposed to call Lee Su-yeon or Zackal, who knew about the mission? Yoon-seok moved to her side without hesitation. For so reason, she had beco more assertive about this mission. Regardless of the reason, it was a good thing for Yoon-seok, who wanted to finish quickly and return.
“We need to find a passage?”
“To be exact, it’s a place called the vein of dinsions. We can get out if we head there.”
Since then, nothing significant has happened. With Yoon-seok and Cheon-ma’s combat power, plus the rewinder Lee Soo-yeon and Zackal combining forces, nothing could block them.
「You discovered the vein of dinsions.」
「You have completed your mission much faster than the average completion ti. The reward increases significantly.」
「The current information collection rate is 8/100.」
「Special challenges in progress will continue to the next mission.」
Yoon-seok and Cheon-ma smashed their enemies and moved on to the next mission thanks to Lee Su-yeon’s discovery of the vein.
「Group mission (3/15).」
「You have succeeded in coming out through the vein of dinsions. However, the army of destruction will soon find a way and catch up. Collect information about where you are and find a helper.」
The next mission site was a vast adow with colorful lights everywhere. Originally, it would have taken a long ti to figure out where this place was…
“So, where are we now?”
“The spirit world.”
“Who’s the helper we need to find?”
“Guardian of the Wind, Wedul. We’ll find them if we go to the stormy place.”
After arriving in this unknown space, Yoon-seok and his party imdiately moved toward their destination without hesitation.
“…How do you guys know all of this?”
Only Elle seed a little confused, but there was no way she could reach the truth on her own. For her, this mont was real. As they walked and entered the storm whirling around a plateau, they heard a voice. It was Wedul, Guardian of the Wind.
-Foreigners of a strange world, what brings you here?
The original scenario was to do her a favor and have her open the dinsion door as paynt. However, it was solved without much hassle.
“If you don’t want to die, go and open the dinsion door.”
-How dare a human threaten …!
“I won’t say it twice.”
-…I’ll open it.
The Godly realm of persuasiveness that even Yoon-seok wouldn’t dare enter.
「The Guardian of the Wind has decided to open the door for you.」
「The available dinsions are Moorim, Killian, and Seheranbad. Depending on your choice, the contents of the mission will be updated.」
When the storm abated, and three portals opened, the challengers went still.
“Is this how it’s supposed to be?
“I know, right. What an amazing woman…”
Lee Su-yeon and Zackal, watching with shock and admiration, quickly ca to their senses and began to discuss what to do. Yoon-seok built a magic barrier so Elle couldn’t hear and listened to their conversation.
Seheranbad, Moorim, Killian. They were choosing where to go while weighing the odds.
“I think both your roles are the biggest in this mission. Where do you think we should go?”
After saying he would follow their decision, Zackal briefly summarized their options:
If they go to Seheranbad, they can get reinforcents relatively easily. If they head to Killian, they can kill the important characters of the army of destruction in advance. It’s difficult to call for aid in Moorim, but their forces are the largest.
It felt like he was playing a ga. But before he could pick, Cheon-ma chose first.
“Then shouldn’t we go to all three places?”
“…Unnie, once you cross the dinsional door, you can’t move to another dinsion until the war starts.”
“So, what I’m saying is we should split up.”
Cheon-ma’s way of thinking was different from normal people’s. Ignoring the law of equivalent exchange of giving up sothing to gain sothing, it was Cheon-ma’s way to get everything you want. Although Lee Su-yeon was surprised since she’d never thought of it before…
Upon second thought, it did make sense. No, should she say it was more efficient? Maybe that wouldn’t be the case before regression to prevent power distribution. But now, she had monsters like Cheon-ma and Yoon-seok with her. And she also had a challenger nad Zackal, who also possessed considerable knowledge of this mission.
“I will go to Moorim. I’m also curious about sothing.”
Cheon-ma expressed her will. And then Elle, standing far from the silent conversation, spoke timidly.
“I-I have to go to Seheranbad. There’s soone I have to et there.”
Yoon-seok sighed. He thought it would be better to gather and move together, but it seed like they would have to separate. He thought they should go to Seheranbad for the special challenges.
“What will you do? Are you coming with ?”
“I think I’d better go to Seheranbad.”
“Why…?”
Did she expect that he would follow? Cheon-ma frowned at Yoon-seok’s answer. Of course, it would be quite fun to wander around the Moorim from 500 years ago with her, but this was an inevitable decision.
“I want to go with you, but if I go, the gap in the other dinsions will be too severe. Plus, this isn’t the only day we have.”
“Today is not the only day… I see. Huhu. Okay. Let’s do that. 3333”
“…?”
Yoon-seok felt embarrassed as the atmosphere suddenly changed, but he thought it wasn’t important since it ended well.
“If that’s the case, I’ll go to Kilian with the remaining challengers.”
Elle and Yoon-seok to Seheranbad, Cheon-ma to Moorim, and the remaining challengers to Kilian. Everyone had decided where to go except for Lee Su-yeon. Naturally, everyone’s eyes gathered to her.
-Su-yeon, please go to Moorim and keep an eye on her so that she doesn’t cause any trouble.
-You go to Seheranbad and watch that dull-looking girl.
Lee Su-yeon sighed loudly as both Cheon-ma and Yoon-seok’s voices reached her. Well, she never planned on going to Kilian, even if it weren’t for those two. There may not be any rankers, but Zackal was one of their nine challengers.
‘Hm, what should I do? I’d be comfortable if I were with oppa… still, I’m nervous about sending her alone.’
Lee Su-yeon finally chose reason over emotion. Maybe it would be different if it was a private matter, but this was the right decision as long as they were on the mission.
“I’ll go to Moorim.”
Cheon-ma looked sowhat dissatisfied, but she didn’t say anything, perhaps because Yoon-seok was watching.
“See you later.”
Soon, the challengers were divided into three groups and crossed their different dinsional gates.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen, so stay right next to .”
Before leaving for Moorim, Lee Su-yeon turned and saw Yoon-seok taking care of Elle. She could contact Yoon-seok with Communication in case of an ergency, so she thought choosing Moorim was the most efficient choice, but…
‘What is this iffy feeling?’
She wondered if she was right.
「Group mission (4/15).」
「You arrived at Seheranbad with the help of Guardian of the Wind, Wedul. Inform each country that it has failed to prevent the army from destruction. Most of them are willing to join hands with you in the final battle.」
The contents of the subsequent mission were in line with what Lee Su-yeon had explained. It would be a waste of ti to travel around each country, and the mission was concluded as soon as they went to Levant Neutral.
‘After doing a few errands, the war will break out, right?’
Yoon-seok, reviewing the flow of this journey one last ti, shifted his attention to Elle.
“Who’s the person you have to et?”
“It’s Jas Hambledon. I can et him if we go to Levant Neutral.”
“Jas Hambledon…?”
“Do you know him?”
Of course, he was Ragna’s ancestor and a special challenge that erged in the 8th-floor mission. Well, he only received a useless seal after clearing the mission.
“No. That na sounds familiar. I’m thinking about it, but I’ve never heard it before.”
Yoon-seok remained calm. Wouldn’t it be ironic if he knew him after revealing that he was from Earth, a dinsion she’d never heard before? Seeing how there was suspicion in her voice, Elle slowly realized sothing was going on with Yoon-seok’s party. He had to remain careful with his words and actions.
“I want to ask you sothing.”
“Please do.”
“…Why are you helping ?”
“Didn’t I tell you? The army of destruction is also a problem in our dinsion.”
“Yes. That’s why you ca into the rift. But even if things have co to this, why don’t you try to find a way back?”
“…”
Had she been observing him? Yoon-seok was speechless.
“Why didn’t you ask the Guardian of the Wind if you could go back to Earth? And isn’t that person who was an to from Moorim?”
“That’s… uh, um…”
Yoon-seok stuttered. The doubt in Elle’s voice grew stronger.
“You guys act like you know everything… who are you?”
If he let this continue, he wouldn’t be able to deal with it.
“I’ll be honest with you. We have a way to go back.”
He tried to cleverly hide the truth. Yoon-seok hadn’t lied to Elle yet. He was from Earth, and the army of destruction was a problem and had a ways to go. That was all true.
“However, for us to go back, we have to deal with them all. That’s why we’ve decided that we needed the help of the people here.”
“…You guys have a common goal. Is that what you’re saying?”
In other words, it ant that they had to take advantage of this opportunity, but Elle put it into good words.
“Yes. I’m sorry I hid it.”
“No, thank you for telling . If that were the reason, we would rather welco it. Is that woman not from Moorim?
“She is, but… I don’t think I can answer that part.”
“You still have more secrets, right? Okay. Just say it like that. It’s better than lying.”
Looking at the old Elle, he could see why Elle now loved to hide the truth so much. If one couldn’t tell the whole truth, she thought it was better than lying.
“So, where should we go to get to Levant?”
It was a place he had visited once before, and he even had a map indicating its current location in his subspace bag, but Yoon-seok asked as if he didn’t know.
“Can you run into the sky as you did earlier?”
“Of course.”
“…Will you carry then?”
“What…?”
“N-no! That’s not what I ant!”
Elle shook her head and blushed.
“I think it’ll be much faster if you can run while I give directions since it’s an urgent matter. Of course, if it’s a hassle, it can’t be helped….”
Was it because she would have to be in the arms of a man? He could feel her embarrassnt. On the other hand, it was nothing unusual for Yoon-seok, who had hugged Elle several tis.
“Then, I’ll do it…?”
“Ah, yes…”
Yoon-seok took Elle bridal style without hesitation, and he realized. All of the tis he’d hugged Elle was mostly when she was young; he never carried her when she was all grown up.
“…”
“…”
Yoon-seok froze. Suddenly, the mood grew awkward.
“…G-grr!”
Being crushed by sothing soft and squishy, Asura jumped out of his front pocket. At the sa ti, the strange air between the two vanished.
“Oh my! Is this your summoned pet?”
Elle’s eyes glinted at Asura, forgetting her sha. Her taste seed to be the sa 500 years ago.
“May I touch it? Wow, it’s this small but tough. So cute!”
Yoon-seok’s face kept burning for so reason.
As they traveled to the Levant, suddenly several ssages appeared in front of Yoon-seok’s eyes.
「The number of challengers who reached the 25th floor or higher have been fulfilled.」
「The ranking system of No. 4 Mission Tower will be activated.」
Among the three upheavals that Lee Su-yeon warned about in the past, a phrase indicating the first one showed up.
「All Tower of Missions have t the standards. The second dinsion fusion has started.」
「Convergence complete.」
「Mission challengers under the 25th floor can transfer to other trials.」
The Mission Tower closed. This ant that they could no longer transfer to the Mission Tower after tearing the ticket.
‘Then what I’m doing right now is the last mission.’
He got on the last train, but it was a sha.
「Dinsional stores will be integrated.」
「In the future, items from other dinsions can also be purchased in the store.」
「The previous dinsion invasion suppression system is greatly weakened.」
「Protect the stars against them, who have beco more powerful.」
Reading to the end, he smiled. However, Yoon Seok knew.
The upcoming change had only just begun.
