Chapter 113 – Chapter 112- Balmung (4)

After Aris killed all the withered trees, we took a short break in the oasis.

Sitting on the remains of a broken and dried tree like a chair, I watched the scenery of the oasis and the desert.

In a desert covered with tawny sand all over, this place where light green vegetation grows with deep blue water is like a flower.

A beautiful flower with green petals and blue stamens.

Even though it was a dungeon, the women got drunk on this beautiful scenery and talked while laughing.

“What are you doing Joon-ah?”

Cheonghwa looks at me blankly and asks.

Now I was standing alone and approaching the clear blue water of the oasis.

“Do you want me to show you something interesting?”

I smiled brightly and focused my eyes as if telling everyone to look this way.

Everyone stared at me with their eyes wide open, as if they had predicted that I would start something.

“Now, take a good look.”

I took out the items I prepared for this job in subspace.

“… What?”

Violet, who saw the contents of the item, questioned me with a disgusted face.

I saw a mischievous look on her face, and moved my hand as if tossing the item I was holding at Violet.

“Kyaaaaagh!”

Violet panics and pushes me away with telekinesis.

I giggled and grabbed the box containing my precious item, ‘Earthworm’, which almost fell on the floor.

“Are you crazy?!”

Violet glared at me with intelligent eyes.

“Sorry. I did it because I was cute, because I was cute.”

“You think I’ll forgive you for that…?!”

Contrary to her words, Violet blushed slightly and turned her face away.

Contrary to what he said, the corner of his eyes twitched as if he was forgiving me at any moment.

While I was laughing heartily at that cute figure, I heard another voice next to me.

“Kyaaaaah”

A voiceless scream with a certain pitch.

The voice that anyone could recognize as imitating a scream with an artificial voice was the vice president.

“…Vice President?”

I didn’t know what to do for a moment, so I stared blankly at the vice president.

The vice president looked at me blankly with a blunt expression.

‘This… What’s the situation?’

While I was grasping the vice president’s intentions, the chairman opened his mouth to me from behind the vice president’s back, said something to me, and moved his body as if telling me to do this.

Knowing that that was the answer, I desperately listened to the president’s signal and acted immediately.

Act out the gesture of throwing a bucket of earthworms at the vice-president.

“Kyaaaaah”

Then, the Vice President raised his hands and poured his cold air on me.

A mild cold breeze that gently blows a cool breeze.

As before, I almost dropped the bucket holding the worms to the floor and got it.

“What are you doing?”

The vice president asks me with sparkling deep blue eyes like an oasis.

The vice president’s expression was obviously expressionless, but after seeing that expression for several months, I now know that expression is not expressionless.

Now, the vice president looked like he was expecting something.

And now I knew the answer the vice president wanted.

Haha…! The vice-president is so cute that I stopped playing around with him?!”

I scratched my head and told the vice-president, and the vice-president smiled lightly as if he had the correct answer.

“That’s fine. I’ll forgive you.”

Like an oasis, the smile that sprouted from his expressionless face was so beautiful that it was cold.

The president, who was standing behind the vice president, nodded as if he did well.

However, Violet glared at the vice-president and put on an expression of resentment.

“This… Lee Iik!”

It’s been a long time since I heard Violet’s ‘Lee Ik’.

“Now, I’ll show you what I’m really trying to do.”

I took the worm out of the box.

The wriggling brown earthworm constantly twists its body as if to prove that it is alive.

After grasping the tip of the earthworm with his index finger and thumb, he placed it in the oasis.

“What? No way, it’s not fishing, right?”

As if curious about my actions, Cheonghwa squatted down next to me and looked at my hand.

It was in the clear water, so I could clearly see my hand in the water and the wriggling earthworm.

“Does it feel good? Fishing is right.”

“What…? There’s nothing in here?”

Snap.

Something bit my hand

At the same time, Qinghua was frightened.

“Uh.. Uh? Hey..! Hey! Your hand is gone!”

My right hand, which was holding the worm across the clear water, disappeared from sight.

But the feel of my right hand is fine.

No, I wasn’t fine, so it stung a little.

“Eutcha! It’s great!”

I quickly pulled my right hand out of the water.

Something was overlaid on my right hand, which was pulled out along with water droplets splashing in all directions.

The figure of the guy, who could not be seen in the transparent water, is gradually revealed.

“What… What?!”

Cheonghwa bites my right hand and is startled to see the devil.

A round body like a tadpole and a fan-shaped tail at the back.

When the guy who had been cleverly dodging by wearing camouflage in the water was brought out, he tried to shake off my hand, wagging his tail like an earthworm.

“When you come in, you can do whatever you like…! But not when you go out.”

I grabbed the palate of the guy trying to get out of my hands and cut the bottom of the round body with a knife.

Hooded!

Blue blood drips down.

I hurriedly put the blood dripping guy into the plastic bag I had prepared in advance.

“Hey..?! What is this?”

Cheonghwa saw a demon inside a plastic bag.

Chung-Hwa pricks her finger at the figure of a big guy like a doll, and even kneads it with her hand to see if she likes the feel.

“This is the key ingredient for the dungeon we’re breaking today. Does anyone want to try fishing here?”

I smiled and lifted the box of earthworms.

Violet was frightened, and Cheonghwa rushed at me to see if it was interesting.

“Give it to me!”

That’s how we caught all the tadpole devils in the oasis for 30 minutes.

* *

“Oh oh…!”

I swallowed in a gulp.

Look at the figure of Balmung in front of you.

On the golden handle, now this beautiful figure that is slowly finding its own self.

One forward.

If you find just one more piece, Balmung is complete.

Balmung’s bright blue spirit shines in the sun’s light.

It was a really good sword.

Despite not being completed and not receiving any additional item effects, this ghastly blade neatly cut through anything cut as a test as if to prove that it was not dead.

If Levatein showed off his audacity by flying the flames attached to his blade, this Balmung recklessly flashed his blade.

“Now we just need to find the last blade.”

Aris said to me, staring at Balmung floating in the air beside her.

“Yeah, that’s right. Now just find the last piece and you’re done.”

“So, are you going to clear this dungeon after finding the sword fragment?”

“No.”

I took out the plastic bag containing the tadpole demons in the subspace.

Then, with a patter, the tadpole demon poured out onto the floor.

“…? You, no way.”

As if Violet noticed something, she quietly opened her eyes.

I groaned, warmed up a couple of times, and then stretched out my hand to Cheonghwa.

“Let’s go, Cheonghwa.”

“Uh.. Huh? Where?”

“Catch it at once.”

At my words, Cheonghwa stretched out his hand and grabbed my hand.

Pleasant warmth spread through his hands.

“Everyone except Cheonghwa, please step back.”

There was no need to clear the sword fragment and the dungeon separately.

Because in the first place, those two were together from the beginning.

When I entered the dungeon and activated the Ego Sword.

I felt and realized that one piece, one piece, was constantly wriggling and moving while the other blade pieces were still.

The fact that the blade is inside the guy’s body.

As the women’s camp, except for Cheonghwa, stepped back, the ground suddenly began to shake.

Deed Deed Deed…!

Fine sand swayed in all directions in line with the vibrations, and the dunes collapsed.

The vibration gradually got stronger.

“Hey..! Hey…?! Why am I the only one here?! Well, isn’t that strange?”

“Then, don’t you believe me? Don’t worry, since I’ve been working hard on catching the tadpole devil before, I’m taking you inside specially.”

“What? Where are you taking them inside?!”

Anxious at the growing vibration of blue and white, he asks me.

“Don’t worry, I’ll see you soon.”

Deed deed…!

All the sights around me shake.

Everything made of sand was shaking to such an extent that even the body on the ground could not be controlled.

I focused my consciousness on the last blade, taking care not to fall down with the earth elemental.

Right below.

The last blade was now under me.

“I’ll go, then.”

I waved to the women in front of me.

“So where are you going…?!”

Cheng-Hwa squeezed my hand tightly and demanded an answer from me.

The answer came out of nowhere before my answer.

“Uh?”

Standing on the corpse of the Tadpole Devil, a circle of sand sprouted around us.

It sprouted out of the sand and broke through higher, revealing itself.

Triangular shaped, shiny white teeth.

The circle surrounding us was the mouth of a Death Worm with huge teeth.

“Ughhhhh! Fuck!”

Cheonghwa is frightened, and jumps into my arms.

I calmly accepted Cheonghwa’s body and prepared for the fall that would follow.

Suwook-!

The death worm’s mouth rises in a straight line and swallows the sand, the tadpole devil, and the cage.

The long guy’s body hurriedly shoved us down his throat without even chewing on us.

And the death worm that swallowed us floated through the air for a while, then drew a semicircle and plunged back into the sand.

“… It’ll be fine.”

She muttered, looking at Rebecca next to her with Violet’s dumbfounded eyes.

Rebecca nodded quietly with a sullen face.

“Don’t you know that’s what it used to be?”

For some reason, all the women in the camp nodded their heads in sympathy with those words.

Suddenly, the vibration of the desert stopped.

The transformed desert keeps silent as if something had happened.

But in this silence, deep in the earth, there was a girl screaming incessantly.

“Sir baaal!”

A pitiful girl who was sacrificed by Jeong Jo-jun.
