Chapter 570 – The Man (Part 2 Completed)

-Dump.

“Arrived.”

“Keep, keep, keheuk…” .”

Kang Eun-young, who had been dragging Seo Ok-hee by her back, was released from her restraints, and her small body barely fell to the floor.

It took 10 minutes for me to forcefully drag her by the suit jacket and shirt on her back.

In fact, since he was flying at the speed of a private plane while holding her by the neck, Seo Ok-hee’s dissatisfaction could not help but rise naturally in Seo Ok-hee’s heart, but she did not dare to express it.

This was something she had experienced several times during her time on active duty anyway.

More than anything, she didn’t want to complicate things by getting on her nerves, as the red color in Kang Eun-young’s eyes still hadn’t disappeared.

“You said you let me through the barrier, Okhee.”

-Tuk, knock.

“Now, wait… Sue, take a breath… Wow, keke…”

Kang Eun-young gets noticed by knocking on her external blocking barrier, which was built by a group of sacred priests to prevent the entry and exit of her monsters.

She was on the verge of breaking into her if she didn’t let her through, so now she had no choice but to let Seo Ok-hee enter and exit her barrier as well.

In the first place, it was a plan she came up with on the spot to prevent Kang Eun-young from going berserk.

She later said that although she would get criticized once for ‘entering the Dune telephone area through an unofficial route’, at least this would be much better than being criticized for ‘unauthorized destruction of the Dune telephone area barrier’.

“I’m going to use short-distance spatial movement. “Stay close.”

“Huh.”

After seeing Kang Eun-young bend her knees and see her body embracing her, Seo Ok-hee uses her own awakening ability.

Due to Seo Ok-hee’s awakening ability, which designated the location from the outside of her barrier to the coordinate system inside the barrier, the bodies of the two people holding each other disappeared for an instant, reappeared, and moved inside the barrier.

Moving inside her abandoned village, Kang Eun-young’s eyes finally began to slowly break free from her state on the verge of berserk.

“… That’s enough now, right? She says she went missing in Area A, so let’s go from Area A first. Seeing as she is said to have a saint with her, it is more likely that she is still safe…”

– Tup.

“Eupkkkk!!”

“Hye-eun!! Taekyung!! “Where are you guys!!”

“Hey, hey! Stop stroking the back of your neck, keke, keheuk… !!”

It wasn’t enough that she was dragged from Gangdong-gu, Seoul to western Gangwon-do for 10 minutes, and the sight of Kang Eun-young holding her neck and searching for her children even inside her dungeon.

Seo Ok-hee’s long day of hanging out with her was not going to end for a long time.

-Chaaaaa!!

‘Huh…’

The basilisk let out a final scream and fell as I was struck from the inside.

Since it was still inside the animal’s snout, it was impossible to confirm whether it was actually dead or not, but there was a way to know everything even here.

That’s right, it was the moment when the head in the middle of the room I was in lost its balance and fell forward.

“Waaaaa!!”

It was good that it was the last way to kill it, and it was good to get inside its mouth and deliver the final blow, but I didn’t have time to calculate it until after that.

Upon death, the basilisk’s head, which lost strength, tilted forward and fell.

-Kugugung!

“Ahhh…”

Still, it didn’t hurt that much, perhaps because I fell from a height of about 10 meters at most.

Above all, when dealing with a Kraken before, I had the experience of falling from a height higher than this level.

Thanks to my posture and fixing my body to the handle of the bayonet embedded in the roof of my mouth, I suffered no major injuries during the fall.

In the first place, it would have been more difficult to force herself to be hurt as Lulucia’s divine protection was wrapped around her entire body.

First, the mithril greatsword, which was firmly planted and not moving, was first retrieved into the subspace pocket, and soon familiar voices began to approach one by one from outside the monster’s head.

“Taekyung! Taekyung!!”

“Seongcheol! Are you inside?!”

“Mr. Seongcheol! Are you safe?! Mr. Seongcheol!!”

How many times throughout the day have I heard someone call me by my name out of concern?

Even I was confused about my own name, perhaps because I had been using my real name and pseudonym interchangeably throughout the day.

Still, I had to first convey the information to the people outside that there was nothing wrong with me, so I shouted as loudly as I could to let them know that I was safe.

“I’m fine, so you don’t have to worry!”

“Hey, hey! I heard Seong Tae-kyung’s voice! “I’m fine!”

“Taekyung~! “I’m glad you’re alive~!”

“… Now, can you wipe away the tears and snot, Sihee? It was obvious that he would be alive anyway, but I was worried for no reason…”

“Taekyung ah!! “How many times have I told you not to do anything dangerous!!!”

Unlike my first reaction of urgency, after my survival was confirmed, my reaction was definitely one of relief.

Just as I was about to get up from inside the crate and slowly go out, I heard Cheon Ji-hee’s voice.

“Can you come out alone?”

“Yes. “This is enough to get out if you cut it from the inside.”

“Okay? But this hair, it looks like it’s already starting to get hard again?”

… I couldn’t calculate it up to that point.

It was good to kill him by targeting the inside of the head, which had momentarily weakened due to regeneration, but it was the head of the three-headed basilisk that soon began to harden again due to rigor mortis.

It was not time to leisurely report survival, but escape came first.

Still, I knew that my swordsmanship was powerful enough to cause injury, so escaping itself wouldn’t be particularly difficult.

It was a natural fact that it was much easier to cut the body of a stationary opponent than to strike a moving one.

Therefore, I took out the mithril greatsword stored in subspace again, thinking that I should cut it from the inside while it was still a little soft, but the green greatsword that had been with me for almost half a year was already in bad condition.

“… “Why is this like this?”

Unlike when he killed the basilisk just a moment ago, the blade has become blunt and the signs of wear here and there have increased significantly.

It seems that the cause was that it was taken out and swung inside a mouth full of poison.

Even in the midst of all this, I can’t feel any pain in my body, so the true purification ability is a fraud in times like this.

Anyway, regardless of the excellent purification ability, my problem was not solved at all.

My body was still trapped inside the Basilisk’s central head, and the mithril greatsword, my only means of escape, was broken.

… It’s a little out of shape, but I guess I’ll have to ask people outside to save it.

“Hey, can someone please take me out? I think the sword is broken…”

“What?!”

“Yes yes?!”

As soon as I heard that I was trapped inside the basilisk’s mouth, I heard worried reactions from outside.

Since then, several attempts have been made to break or open the dead basilisk’s central head.

-Cow! Wow!

“Oh, no! “Don’t even budge!”

I even tried to destroy the front part of Hye-eun’s head with her shield bash.

-Passyuk! Passsssuk!

“… “It doesn’t cut at all.”

I even tried cutting it with the wind blade of the car window.

-Cow!! Wow!!

“… “I’m sorry, I think it’s difficult for me too.”

The method of breaking Cheon Ji-hee’s jaw with punches and kicks continued one more time.

‘Uuuuu…’

“Okay… ! Why does this monster have such strong teeth… !!”

I even tried opening the spout with Do Ye-hee’s Earth Golem, but it was all in vain.

“This is what happened, just like before, Hurricane Bolt…”

“What are you going to do if you use such a dangerous link and Seongcheol inside is also in danger?!”

“… Should I just cut off the neck and rescue them from the guild? “I can just pick it up and move it!”

“… “I wouldn’t mind if that were possible, but the neck of this thing is so tough that a knife won’t go through it at all.”

“Don’t do that, you can’t do it this way…” .”

It seemed like they were talking among themselves about various things outside the monster’s head and planning a plan to rescue me.

In the end, when it was decided to bring someone here to help, the voice of someone else, this time familiar, began to reach my ears.

“Well, first of all, I’ll quickly return to work and call someone! Maybe an S-class hunter could destroy it…”

“Hye, Hye-eun! Hye-eun aaa!!”

“Uh, Mom?!”

… This voice, no way.

“Hye-eun ah!! You’re safe, my daughter!! Do you know how worried her mom was?!”

“Oh, Mom! Oh, okay, so please don’t hug me outside in an embarrassing way! “Everyone else is watching too!!”

“Keheuk, keke…” . Now that you’ve found your daughter, please let go of this…”

“President?!”

Looking at the familiar voice that could clearly be heard even outside the monster’s head and Hye-eun’s reaction, it seemed that Eun-young had appeared in a hurry to provide support.

… Well, the gate in Area A was destroyed and a boss monster appeared, so there’s no way the S-class hunter wouldn’t provide support.

Moreover, listening to the conversation, it seemed that not only Eunyoung but also the boss came with us. Of course, the dangerous Three-Headed Basilisk was dealt with somehow.

Anyway, their appearance was good news for me. Whoever it is, since there are two S-class or higher hunters, they will be able to get me out of this monster’s head.

I wanted to escape as quickly as possible, so I sent a rescue signal to Eunyoung, who was in the middle of a reunion with Hye-eun.

“Hye-eun, anyway, where is Tae-kyung?! From what I heard earlier, he went missing in the dungeon…”

“Sister, I’m here!”

“Uh, huh?!”

“Mom, here! Taekyung is in here!!”

“Not inside…” “Could it be in this mouth?!”

“The sword was broken while I was trapped inside… “Can you take it out, Eunyoung?”

“Now, just wait a moment! Kill this guy right now…”

“Tae, Tae-kyung! Just go inside! “If you do something wrong, you will be cut together!!”

“Ugh?! Who, sister?!”

-Suddenly!!

Fortunately, I was able to get out safely without my body being cut by Eunyoung’s sword.

I was barely able to escape the stuffy space by crawling in front of the head of the basilisk that my sister had cut off with her sword.

“Whew. Thank you, Eunyoung.”

“Taekyung! Are you feeling okay?! Earlier, I heard Taekyung at work that you were missing…”

“Yes, as you can see, he’s fine, so you don’t have to worry. “The disappearance earlier was already resolved long ago, and the thing that was in the basilisk’s mouth happened for another reason.”

“Oh, no… Well, that’s fortunate… Well, what on earth does that look like…? ?”

“Yes?”

For a moment, I was suspicious of the reaction of Eunyoung, who suddenly reacted strangely, stopped what she was saying and was embarrassed.

First, I looked around to check the situation, and this time, the face of the boss, who was at a slightly different eye level from the others, suddenly caught my eye.

“Oh, hello, boss. I almost couldn’t say hello again…”

“Go, don’t come any closer…” .”

“Yes?”

“Well, put that strange thing away… If you come any closer, I’ll fire you… ?!”

“… Yes?”

… At best, I came back alive from the boss monster’s mouth, but wasn’t the treatment too harsh?

He just walked forward to say hello, but he suddenly looked embarrassed and took a step back, and even threatened to not come closer.

It was my first time seeing her look embarrassed or her face blushing, so when I was not understanding the situation, this time Han Min-ah sent her gaze towards me as if I was dumbfounded.

“Hey, hey, Seong Tae-kyung… What on earth are you like that? ?”

“Huh? What?”

“What do you mean… “Could it be that you were so shameless because you didn’t know what you were like now?”

“What’s wrong with me now…”

“I don’t know, you idiot… ! You can either bow your head and check it yourself… !”

Han Min-ah was also making strange nonsense and avoiding eye contact, so I immediately lowered my head to check my body.

The first thing that caught my eye was my bare feet, which had already lost their shoes, and my belongings, which were suddenly appearing outside.

“… Uh?”

As soon as I saw a sight that made me stop thinking for a moment, I couldn’t help but think of the battle I had just had with the Basilisk.

I remembered jumping into the creature’s mouth full of venom and swinging my sword inside.

… Now that I think about it, I noticed that when I first came in contact with the poison, even my clothes were corroded without being able to prevent damage.

The cleansing divine power applied to the body only protected the body, and did not protect the clothes or weapons that were worn.

Since the battle was fought entirely within the poison, then of course the result was…

“Ugh! Tae, Tae-kyung! Cover it quickly!! “The boss is here now!!”

“Lu, Lucia is watching, Seongcheol! “Let’s cover it up a little bit for now!!”

“Hey, I’ll lend you my cloak…” . Cover it quickly, quickly… !”

Three people who, like me, were a little late in the accident, started running towards me with all their bodies to cover me.

After that, women who were relatively unlikable looked at me and carefully expressed their opinions.

“… I think we need to consider what you said last time again. No matter how much he appreciates you, a man who proudly puts it out anywhere like that… No matter how much I…”

“Woah, you can’t do that! It’s not enough to simply share a lewd hobby, but to shamelessly do so in such a public place… ! “If I’m with you, my Si-hee will look strange too!”

… I thought they managed to deal with the boss monster in the abandoned village after a long time and had a fairly decent ending.

It seemed like he was no longer in the mood to show off today’s performance while maintaining form.

In the chaotic chaos, Lulucia’s mumbling was the only thing that could be quietly heard in my ears.

“Tae, Tae-kyung… It was a man, I see… Ah, ahaha…”

The sight of Lulucia mumbling, avoiding my gaze, with that awkward smile on her face.

It seems like all the favorability I had gained over the past day was blown away in one blow due to this one incident.

… I wonder if we can become friends again… ?
