81 – Dungeon (6)
“Wisdom is gone!”
Yoo Seong-won shouted in surprise.
“It didn’t disappear, it just went out of the dungeon.”
Ha Yeon-shi corrected his words and then smiled.
“As expected, he has the lowest potential among us.”
She felt guilty. She has a sweet savory taste like peanut butter, not a bitter savory taste like sesame seeds.
I knew you were the weakest.
I was smirking when something strange happened. I suddenly felt an unknown fullness in my body.
Ugh!
Like Mo Yeji, she had been hoping to get out of the dungeon every day, so she realized it instinctively. What does this phenomenon mean now?
“No way… Is it me this time?”
It seems Mo Yeji’s next step is her own.
“It’s me!”
The surrounding environment changed at the same time as he shouted vigorously. Ha Yeon-si closed her eyes to the bright light and then opened them. When I opened my eyes, I was outside the dungeon.
What Choi Ji-seong said was true!
When I was inside, I desperately wanted to come out, but when I came out, I was very disappointed.
My potential is on the same level as Mo Yeji.
That fact made me sad. She hoped her own potential would be high.
The other kids will come out soon.
Ha Yeon-si looked around after thinking rationally.
It was daytime inside the dungeon, but it was a starry night outside. The flow of time is completely different.
How many days have passed?
According to Choi Ji-sung’s words, less than a month would have passed in reality. So don’t worry about the passage of time.
Then how strong was it?
Ha Yeon-shi compared the before and after entering the dungeon and realized that she had become incredibly strong. When the unknown energy that oppressed her body from all sides disappeared, she was able to properly realize the extent of her growth.
She’s incredibly strong.
You’ll have to get a detailed examination to know, but she seemed to be at least several times stronger than when she entered. Moving the mana inside her body, realizing her growing body, she felt a presence from a distance. If it had been before entering the dungeon, she wouldn’t have grasped it, but she got stronger and was able to grasp it.
“Who, who?”
“Conveyor.”
Yu Daye flew like a flash of her and stunned her, just like her Mo Ye Ji, then carried her away.
* * *
After Ha Yeon-si, Uyuna disappeared, and then Go Soo-yeong. The remaining children murmured hopefully.
You can go outside!
However, nothing unusual happened after that. A few more days passed. Yoo Seong-won rubbed his face and muttered.
“… Will the rescue team come?”
He believed in his potential. So, unlike Mo Yeji, Ha Yeonsi, Uyuna, and Go Sooyoung, he thought that he couldn’t get out of the dungeon in the near future.
What do you do if you really fill up a year like this?
Time in the dungeon passes several times faster than in reality. That’s why it’s only a relatively long time to feel, but he didn’t know that fact.
“The rescue team is not coming.”
Han Cheol-woo said firmly.
“What?”
“The rescue team is not coming.”
“Why do you speak so confidently? The kids who went outside could call the rescue team.”
Choi Ji-seong shook his head.
“This is not an ordinary dungeon. It’s a special dungeon like a ruin. It’s a one-time place.”
Han Cheol-woo added an explanation to his words.
“There is no such thing as a dungeon cycle for one-time locations. Rescue is impossible.”
Yoo Seong-won was discouraged.
How much longer do we have to rot here!
That was the moment.
“Uh, uh!”
Suddenly, I felt a sense of fulfillment inside my body.
No way!
Yoo Seong-won realized and realized that his potential was up to this point. A halo of light emanated from me, and I reflexively closed my eyes. When he opens his eyes, he is outside the dungeon.
“It’s here!”
It is both happy and bitter. Because he realized that his potential was lower than the other kids.
I thought I would be the last one….
I was muttering something, but I felt someone’s presence. Yoo Seong-won did not miss the unexpected surprise and stretched out his arms to counterattack. But the attacker’s hand was faster.
Puck.
Yu Daye carried the stunned man on his shoulders and flew through the sky.
* * *
“There are three left.”
Cheolwoo Han said.
“I’m sorry.”
Choi Ji-seong seemed to feel guilty.
“What?”
“The one you brought.”
“Why are you sorry about that?”
“You are having a hard time because of me. I might die….”
Choi Ji-seong looked at me and continued talking.
“I feel especially sorry for you, Ymir.”
“Why?”
“I know.”
“What?”
“You bread… It is made by sacrificing your body.”
I didn’t know he knew about it.
“How did you know?”
“Every time I make bread, your body gets thinner and I can’t help but notice it.”
“… Right.”
From noble mtl dot com
They don’t seem to know that the raw material for bread is my body.
That’s good.
Choi Ji-seong muttered.
“Your sacrifice will not be forgotten. I will definitely repay this favor.”
Cheolwoo Han said.
“You have to be able to return the favor to pay it back.”
“That’s right….”
Jisung Choi lowered his head in despair. It was the first time I had seen such a weak side of Choi Ji-sung. So, I felt strangely bad.
“Don’t do that.”
“What?”
“Don’t feel guilty. I came to the dungeon knowing everyone knew. “
“But I’m sorry….”
“I feel bad.”
It feels strange to see the main character showing weakness.
Han Cheol-woo frowned arrogantly.
“Why are you in a bad mood?”
“There is such a thing.”
“What is that?”
“You don’t have to know.”
Looks like you took my answer strangely.
“Suspicious.”
My face crumpled up like an empty can.
What the f*ck is suspicious.
I said to Choi Ji-seong, who was downcast.
“I will be back soon.”
“Well….”
Cheolwoo Han showed a skeptical reaction to my words. All the other kids have returned, so it’s not long until our turn. I judged that way, but he seems to have a different opinion from me.
You seem to think your potential is exceptional.
Once I thought about it, Han Cheol-woo and Choi Ji-seong could be like that.
* * *
Yu Daye continued to observe the dungeon.
There are now three left.
Those three are the real ones. In particular, Choi Ji-sung and Han Chul-woo go out at different times in each episode, so she doesn’t know when they can go out.
I wish I could last as long as possible.
As I was thinking that, my smart watch rang. When I checked the sender, it was an unknown person. Daye Yu read the contents of the message and she soon realized the identity of the sender.
Perseverance.
It seems Kang Yoo-han changed her number and sent it. When she read the contents, she said that she had exposed Ymir’s involvement in the deaths and disappearances of the cadets.
“Poop. You’re stupid.”
This is rather what I want.
She wished Ymir to face more trials and tribulations. The stronger the trial, the stronger he will grow.
* * *
A few more days passed. There is no calendar, clock, or smartwatch, so you can’t tell the exact time. Han Cheol-woo disappeared and Choi Ji-seong disappeared. In the end, I was left alone.
This is how it ends.
I thought I would stay until the end. I knew that this would come out as a result of objectively judging my ability, not just pride.
When can I go out?
I stared blankly at the ceiling. Sunlight poured in through a small hole in the ceiling. With the photosynthesis skill, there is no need to starve to death. You just have to persevere and persevere.
* * *
“Keep keep keep.”
Kang Yoo-han was genuinely happy that he had f*cked Yoo Daye. He did not know that he had acted as Yu Daye wished.
“Damn b*tch. You must be regretting it by now.”
He didn’t intend to end his revenge like this. She wished Ymir to die as her precious son had died. It saddens me to think of my son all of a sudden.
“The time has come for a bite….”
A few days later, the academy opened. However, Ymir’s whereabouts are unknown. Kang Yoo-han realized it belatedly.
“Damn it! You stole it!”
He didn’t know Yu Daye would come out like this.
* * *
After the school opening ceremony, Choi Ji-seong, Han Cheol-woo, Yoo Seong-won, Ha Yeon-si, Mo Ye-ji, Uyuna, and Ko Soo-young gathered together. Horrible rumors about Ymir flowed everywhere, but they didn’t care. However, they couldn’t speak to other shocking facts.
“No way… Is he still in the dungeon?”
Ha Yeon-si uttered her first words with an absurd face.
“I guess so.”
Choi Ji-seong lowered his face like a criminal.
“What can I do!”
While Mo Ye-ji stamped her feet, Han Cheol-woo made a cool judgment.
“He is not someone who will die easily. It will come out when it comes.”
Suddenly, Seongwon Yoo had a question.
“How much was the percentage of time in that dungeon compared to reality?”
Choi Ji-seong replied.
“Three days here is about two or three months inside the dungeon….”
“When did you guys come out?”
“I came out a week before school started.”
According to what he said, it would mean that Ymir has been holding out for half a year by himself.
“Have you ever been hurt or in trouble?”
While Ha Yeon-si frowned, Han Cheol-woo remained calm.
“He will not die easily.”
