Chapter 399 – 35. Saving Adlen Party

The Adlen Party Rescue Team, four people including Han Si-woo, departed from the Kingdom of Palania at dawn.

As scheduled, they passed through several warp gates and arrived at Dolumuz Dungeon after riding a carriage.

If you came here normally, it would take dozens of days instead of several days, but it only takes 2 hours.

Although it was a quick move, there were some side effects.

“Are you okay, Miko?”

“Um… Ugh… It’s okay…”

“I don’t think so at all.”

“No, wow… Really, wow…”

Although it was not a forced march that directly moved the feet, it moved through warp gates one after another.

It might have been okay once in a while, but continuous use put a strain on Miko’s body.

Fortunately, there was no major problem, just motion sickness.

Still, I needed a break as Mico plays the most important role in location tracking.

“It’s okay. Just rest.”

“Phew, but…”

“No. Problems will arise anyway, so I have some spare time.”

“…?”

Shiwoo came out of the barracks, leaving Miko, who expressed doubts, to rest on the bed.

Because of Miko’s motion sickness, she was unaware of her surroundings, but it was quite noisy outside.

There is only one cause.

“No, I am enough!”

“Huh, but…”

“Are you saying you don’t trust me?!”

“It’s not that, it’s the procedures and other things…”

The leader of the garrison camp struggling against a man.

The leader was also a nobleman, equivalent to a viscount, but he was not a very good opponent.

“Ha. You don’t know who I am… Oh! Who is this!”

A man who abandons a fight with the leader and yells in a harsh tone when he spots Si-woo.

It was none other than Michael Johnson, the S-class male warrior of the Glazer Empire.

Michael glared at Siwoo with eyes full of hostility.

“…”

“You can’t even answer, are you scared? Baby!”

Siwoo looked at him with puzzled eyes.

There was a lot of hostility when we met before, but today it’s a bit too much.

Of course, I knew the reason.

Why did he come here?

Haha!! I’m sorry, but since I’m here, you won’t have anything to do!”

“… Oh, well, okay.”

Siwoo answers hesitantly.

The reason Michael came here was, absurdly, because he wanted to save his son, Ren Party.

The contents of the meeting discussing the rescue team in the imperial castle reached his ears.

‘Joy! Who am I, how dare I… !’

A meeting is a meeting, so even Michael, no matter how preferentially he is treated and treated with respect, does not know everything.

However, he was very proud that Han Si-woo was chosen as the rescue team instead of him.

I know very well that the reason I was able to become an S-class hero was not just because of my talent, but also because of the Empire’s public support.

However, the continued special treatment and S-class treatment was enough to slightly distort Michael’s memory and make him arrogant.

‘That guy does it too, but I can’t do it.’

There was one more reason.

A sense of crisis.

Han Si-woo cleared the mission on his own without any help and became an S-class hero in just one year.

Siwoo had been a saint before that and was the princess’ fiancé.

And now he has become an S-class hero.

Michael realized that he was not as good as him in any area.

Even in the few areas where he was ahead, he was quickly surpassed.

‘It can’t go on like this!’

While he was afraid due to a sense of crisis, he heard part of the meeting.

I was angry, but this was also an opportunity.

Unfortunately, I only heard about it after some time had passed. Even though I prepared hastily and arrived quickly, I was only a little faster than Han Si-woo.

So I provoked him by saying some unpleasant things.

“Whatever you do has nothing to do with me.”

“That’s good. Then you can stay quietly in the camp while I do the rescue…”

“But I also received something, so I can’t just sit still.”

“… Huh.”

Michael, who guessed what Siwoo was trying to say, grinned.

As he expected, what Siwoo said was competition.

“Anyway, the desert inside the dungeon is large, and due to the nature of the disaster, it is highly likely that the Adlen party was split into at least two.”

“So, let’s go in separately and rescue it on our own?”

“Isn’t it good if both are competent? The Glazer Empire will be happy, and the Adlen Party will be saved for both.”

“If only I could save one person.”

“That’s natural.”

At Siwoo’s suggestion, Michael stroked his chin, which had a fluffy white beard.

It is a good suggestion since you are the one who is forcing it, and you are the one who will be in trouble if you do not get results.

If Han Si-woo wasn’t provoked, he was thinking of entering the dungeon first, even if he had to force himself.

“Okay, but there is a condition.”

“Conditions?”

“I go in one day early.”

Siwoo frowned as he saw Michael laying down such shameless conditions.

Anyone who sees it will think that he is being unreasonable and that he is mercifully letting go with one condition.

To be honest, he felt a little uneasy about the day difference, but he trusted Miko and Rosaline.

“So.”

“Huh. Good, good!”

Michael is happy to receive the powerful merit of a day.

He turned his back and walked towards the party members as if he had no more need to talk to Siwoo.

Si-woo, who was unable to check on Michael’s group while paying attention to him, also shifted his gaze.

‘What is that ridiculous number of people?’

I burst out laughing.

Quite a few dozen people.

Still, it doesn’t seem like three seats will be enough, but at first glance, 60 to 70 people seem to be enough.

Since not all of those people are in Michael’s party, they probably attracted some warriors and formed an alliance.

Michael also has a clan that he created under his own leadership, so they must be the warriors there.

‘Take all of those people to Dolumuz Dungeon… Are you crazy? You must be thoughtless. Ha, I don’t know.’

They are also said to be valuable forces in future wars, but there is no way for him to prevent or save them.

I’ve already decided to make a bet, and I’m busy just saving Adlen’s party with only four people.

Anyway, there are no monsters in the dungeon, just the murderous heat and various debuffs and interruptions, so you won’t be suddenly wiped out.

‘If there are no problems, you won’t die… After rescuing Adlen, I will look for it when I have time.’

Like Michael, Siwoo was confident of his victory.

Also, they would definitely go missing inside the dungeon.

While they were having different thoughts, the Michael Alliance quickly entered the Dolumuz Dungeon with short preparations.

Although they only arrived a day early, it looks like they were already ready to go in.

“Thank you, warrior.”

After sending Michael Union to the dungeon, the camp leader approached him.

“And I’m sorry again.”

“No.”

“There was nothing we could do.”

“I know that well. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Yes!”

Is it because I’ve been tormented so much by Michael?

Even with trivial words, the leader was very happy.

If you think about it, since Michael came yesterday, he must have been fighting for a whole day, so he must be mentally exhausted.

“But if you came yesterday, didn’t you contact the imperial family?”

“Well, I did, but…”

“I guess they said they couldn’t stop Michael.”

“… That’s right. Her Royal Highness the First Princess is very polarizing.”

“Haha.”

This means that Michael is not the only one who is impatient.

It must be an amazing feeling to see a man who sacrificed so much to attract you and have a crush on him in real time.

Although it’s a disguise, it’s obvious that Helena is having a hard time because of her policy change and continued growth.

“Anyway, do you mind?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, His Highness Michael went in first…”

Siwoo shrugged his shoulders as if it didn’t matter to the viscount’s concerns.

“It’s okay. The amount of data will be the same, but this side also has its own weapons.”

“Hmm. I understand.”

Although there are concerns, he is a member of the imperial family and not anyone else.

It was okay to worry, but it was not right to support one side.

After such a light conversation, I returned to the barracks and saw Belluna and Rosaline with sullen expressions.

“How about Miko?”

“I took the medicine and fell asleep.”

“Thank goodness. I’ll recover by tomorrow.”

Since he was so calm, the two people were very worried.

Still, I heard the conversation outside, and they trusted Si-woo more than he trusted Miko.

I just didn’t like Michael’s rebellious attitude.

“You need to catch me and give me some training.”

“Huh? Haha, older sister?”

“Of course! I can beat Michael down by myself.”

“Well, that guy himself is really weak.”

The muscular body is almost an illusion.

It’s better than Emperor Adolf, but it’s similar in that it sucks at various elixirs.

Because he is a warrior from another dimension, he exercises on his own, but the level is not training, but just exercise level.

That won’t happen, but if the two fight, they won’t be able to get close and will be dealt a cruel blow by Belluna’s magic.

“But there’s no need to do that.”

“Um… I’m going to get scolded harshly in this dungeon?”

Rosaline, who was just listening from the side, said.

She also looked at each member of the Michael Alliance, but did not give them a high evaluation.

There were many scouts and wizards, but their overall quality was not high.

If there were a lot of people, the speed would naturally slow down, and even if they dispersed, I felt anxious.

“It won’t be harsh, but it will be a bit of a struggle. As everyone knows, the four major dungeons… You can’t really feel the difficulty unless you go through them yourself. Even those of us who say this haven’t really experienced them.”

“That’s right. We almost went to the low-difficulty secret passage that Siu found out.”

“But the boss was real.”

“That’s right!”

Belluna and Rosalind didn’t have much contact, but they still lived in the same mansion and had experience conquering dungeons, so their relationship wasn’t bad.

Is that why?

The two of them gave strange looks at the same time, wondering what they had been talking about while Siwoo was away.

“Hey, Siwoo.”

“Ugh.”

“Then we’re going into the dungeon tomorrow… So you have some time to spare?”

“Right?”

“Then… I guess I can rest in bed for a day♡”

“Are you taking a break?”

While saying that, Siwoo also smiled and climbed onto the bed where the two were sitting.

It was like a short day of entertainment the day before the rescue team’s activities.
