Episode 187
There are several characteristics in this confrontation system that has been passed down to the clan of Yang Cheolgung and the Iron Clan.
One of them was that in order to effectively manipulate the barrier, a medium set in advance was absolutely necessary.
‘The medium changes with each change of owner of the Tin Palace.’
It is natural. Only then would the risk of information leakage be reduced and the barriers could be seized more reliably.
And, as I expected, the medium that Hae Garam had set was none other than that goblin mask.
Perhaps the mask itself is a piece of equipment, and it is also a fairly high-class object.
‘If I somehow remove that mask from Haegaram’s hand… … .’
You can break through the confrontation system of Yangcheolgung, which is the most stumbling block in jailbreaking.
I don’t know if he felt my gaze or how, but Hae Garam put the mask on his face again and opened his mouth.
“So, is this really enough? I’m going to step back in particular, so if there’s anything you want, tell me now.”
A fairly favorable treatment, that alone made me realize that she likes me quite a bit now.
After thinking about it for a while, I looked into the eyes of Haegaram in the mask and spoke again.
“One day, I hope you will listen to what I have to say.”
“I’m not very attracted to procrastinating wishes.”
“I don’t mean to ask you to fulfill your request. It is enough if you just listen to what I have to say and take it seriously.”
“Well, if that’s the case.”
Haegaram looked at me with a strange look as I was making only such a frivolous wish.
However, the reward was given anyway, and the story ends there.
To Haegaram, who was about to end the conversation, I handed a small word.
“Then I have something to tell you.”
“What?”
“Last night, I’ve been feeling a strange aura downstairs,”
What I am trying to say is probably best known by Haegaram in front of him.
“that… … .”
“It was a pretty noisy flow of spiritual power, so maybe someone is plotting nonsense.”
Of course, I have no such memory. It was just a lie to open up the other person’s heart.
Hae Garam didn’t show any special reaction, but somehow I felt that the woman in the mask was frowned.
After being silent for a while, she gave me a clear congratulatory order with a rather dissatisfied look.
“… It’s not your concern. Stop it now.”
I nodded, left Haegaram’s office as it was, and headed back to the second floor with the guard’s guidance.
And somehow, I gained confidence in the second question I wanted to know.
‘It seems to be the correct answer.’
On a hidden floor between the second and third floors, there is someone in a special prison room.
It was so important to me that it was comparable to the medium of the confrontation world.
‘Even at the time of the first episode, it was not clear whether there were special prisoners.’
With this, you have all the information you need. Now it was time to get really serious and make a plan for the escape.
‘… I’m going to run out of sleep.’
That night, in the end, I had to voluntarily surrender myself to so many waves of thoughts.
***
‘Nearly met the deadline.’
It’s already been three days since I had a face-to-face meeting with Hae Garam, and I unconsciously carried out my daily routine as a prisoner and continued to make plans in my head.
‘I don’t have time now.’
Perhaps by now, chaos has already been repeated inside the Cheonggye by the work of Ambassador Jin Myung from the outside.
I couldn’t delay any longer.
I couldn’t say the plan was perfect, but somehow it had to be done.
‘Tonight, we will decide immediately.’
There is no room for hesitation. After making up my mind, I recovered as much as possible during the day and waited for the night to come.
And finally it came.
A time when there is silence everywhere, and only the guards who sometimes walk in darkness.
‘At dawn on Saturday, there are the fewest number of active guards.’
Can not help it. Since they are humans too, they need appropriate rest and compensation.
And on Friday nights and Saturday mornings, the number of people leaving for vacations and those returning from vacations meshes together, creating some void.
This was the information that was confirmed in the original through Do Ji-hwan’s case.
‘And Haegaram is not in 100% condition because he finished a large regular tour yesterday.’
In other words, now was the best time to try to escape.
Thanks for the good fortune at the right time, I got up from my seat, quietly opening my eyes.
‘Pillows.’
When I called out the guy’s name in my mind, a response came immediately.
In the shaky shadows, I could feel the servants fulfilling my orders.
‘I was really lucky to have him.’
Of course, with the power of a Phantom Priestess, you can hardly use your power in this confrontation world.
His space skills are great, but to be honest, it was hard to see him as a top-level guy.
‘But it’s up to you to use it.’
The underground arena where the influence of the confrontation world was less visible, that was the key.
I used the power of the Priestess, and left a very small gap there.
Of course, if it were to be detected in the confrontation world, it was an evangelism, so it was a very thin passage.
It is impossible for me to move directly, and it is difficult to use it as a passage for shikigami.
However, it was large enough to convey my formula using transfer, which is a derivative technology of the illusion retardation characteristic.
‘If this is enough, you can do it.’
Whoops.
Paz.
In general, there are two ways to interrupt the practice of witchcraft.
Disrupting the arrangement of the magic, or making the spiritual power necessary for the operation of the operation useless in any form.
The method derived from this has a lot of different branches, but in the end, if you look at the source, they all stem from those two things.
Among them, the former method was applied to the battlefield of Yang Cheolgung.
It generates a powerful wave within a certain area, covering up the imprint and disturbing the arrangement no matter what type of magic is invoked.
Therefore, it is possible to control a wide range of magic, and on the other hand, the higher the level of the target, the weaker the effect.
‘The higher the density of spiritual power or the higher the control of the technique, the weaker the effect of the wave.’
And Do Ji-hwan made full use of his unique genius and caught the trick to temporarily offset the wave of the Yangcheolgung barrier.
This is by using the intermediate technique, Doeummyeongbyeon (濤音鳴變), which applied the basic technique of Gongmyeong (共鳴).
‘It will take a little trial and error, but… … .’
As the situation at the time was described in quite a bit of detail, it would be possible for me to do the same.
And if it succeeds, even if it is Haegaram, who dominates the confrontation world, my use of magic cannot be detected.
Rather, it will be completely punctuated by a loophole because it borrows the senses of the confrontation world.
‘The problem is, like I said before, it takes enough trial and error.’
That is why the path of the Priestess connected to the depths of the arena shines.
Even if it causes a slight wave in a place where the influence of the confrontation world is already low, no one will care about it.
Even if one gets caught, it won’t hurt me.
I worked hard and searched for the appropriate wavelength using the transfer technique so that even the slightest trace did not leak out.
A few dozen minutes had passed, and with cold sweat all over my body, I could barely master the sensation through my body.
‘… With this, the first hurdle was over.’
Then the next task is simple.
You can use the completed Doeummyeongbyeon (濤音鳴變) method to get out of this room and hide yourself without being detected.
A full-fledged escape will probably be next.
After making hastily made a shaman doll to be my replacement, I escaped from room 7 as planned, tricking the guards into getting out of the second floor.
‘Then, that’s where the problem starts.’
Looking at it this way, it seems like a lot of work has been accomplished, but in reality, things haven’t changed that much.
The confrontation system that still protects Yangcheolgung is still alive and well, and my side is at a terribly disadvantageous position.
There are two ways to escape right now.
It was to break the barrier by somehow touching Haegaram’s goblin mask, or to find a completely different way to pioneer a new route.
‘If you choose the former, you will inevitably have to contact Haegaram, but it is too uncertain to choose the latter.’
I remember all the escape routes and methods Do Ji-hwan used, but, as I said before, it is meaningful only after neutralizing the confrontation system like Do Ji-hwan.
I’ve been thinking about it countless times, but no matter how much I think about it, I’m not strong enough to do it all.
So it was necessary. A very strong variable that can fill that void.
‘… Have no choice but to.’
I go downstairs on the second floor from now on.
However, the destination is not the third floor. It was a hidden floor where none other than special prisoners were kept.
‘It’s not a good idea to release the dangerous molecules there, no matter how much you think about it… … .’
Now, even if it was a bit coercive, I had to work hard to achieve my goal. If we can’t stop Ambassador Jin Myung’s plan, the future will surely be twisted in a bad way.
‘What you do from now on is really a sin.’
But the decision has already been made. With a firm resolve, I slowly moved forward without falling.
And at the same time, a loud beep sounded all over the floor.
Wow!
Wow-!
A signal that an intruder or a fugitive has occurred.
Faced with it, I was very bewildered and looked around urgently.
‘Did you get caught? So fast?’
This is not the time to take a look. I even used body-enhancing magic and started kicking the ground with all my might.
However, I felt a sense of incongruity, and after running only three steps, I stopped walking with a grimacing expression.
‘No, I can’t.’

My actions were not so lax. At least it’s hard to think that someone will find out right away.This was not conceit. It was a rational decision after considering many possibilities.
It was then that I was able to recall one exception that I had forgotten.
‘In many ways, the best time to escape is now.’
And when I thought so, it meant that anyone else could well make that judgment.
‘… There were more than me.’
At this moment, I wasn’t the only one trying to escape.
And as if to prove it, for an instant, a frightened jailer’s cry was heard from the other side of the aisle.
“Hey, it’s a jailbreak! The special prisoner on the middle floor is gone!”
It was the moment when the situation began to enter a whole new phase.
