We kept moving forward.
I don’t know if it was because it was a dungeon that had to be attacked at the beginning, or it was because we were strong, but I did not feel any difficulty in attacking the dungeon itself.
In the first place, this dungeon was a dungeon that Jin Ye-seul alone could conquer.
Nevertheless, I said that three were needed because to enter the last room, at least three of them had to step on a footrest placed elsewhere at the same time.
… In fact, the biggest problem when attacking this dungeon with Jin Ye-seul in the original work was to fill in the number of heads, and when the people who were barely brought in became burdens.
This was because, unlike other people, Jin Ye-seul was almost impossible to interact with, so there were almost no people with whom he could build friendships.
The first room was as expected.
There, as if reflected in a mirror, our inverted alter ego was gathered and waiting for us.
“Then let’s go as I said before.”
“yes.”
“okay.”
We each dealt with our own clones, as we had agreed beforehand.
It was not difficult to deal with them.
Perhaps because of Margo’s experience in the dungeon, they were so weak that it was funny that they were more nervous than necessary.
At about the same time, Lee Yu-na and I defeated and annihilated the imitations of us, who would have been ten or so.
And when I turned my head and looked at Jin Ye-seul… .
We could see Jin Ye-seul sitting on her own clone and silently punching her.
“… … .”
She was just mechanically hitting herself with an expressionless face.
If it were her power, it must have been a weak and weak clone that could be destroyed in one blow, but she was being beaten up while deliberately controlling her strength.
It was when we approached her to dry her after silently staring at her for a moment.
Quang!
With a terrifying sound, Jin Ye-seul’s fists dug into the floor.
Soon after, the limbs of the clone that had lost their head trembled as if they had received an electric shock, and then disappeared as smoke.
“sorry.”
Jin Ye-seul got up from her seat with an expressionless expression.
Then, wiping the dust off his face with the back of his hand, he came out and looked at Lee Yu-na and said.
“I struggled a bit because I was stronger than I thought. Sorry to keep you waiting.”
With those words, Jin Ye-seul again stood at the forefront and started walking.
“… … .”
Lee Yu-na looked at Jin Ye-seul’s back with an indescribable, but clearly sad, gaze.
I patted her on the shoulder and said.
“Let’s go first. More details… go out and do it.”
“… so be it.”
We were able to get to the second room after a while.
Between the entrance and exit of the second room, there was an endlessly deep cliff.
In between, there were pillars protruding like a remote island, trees growing on the walls, chains hanging from the ceiling, and boulders floating in the air and moving slowly.
It was a sound to move over as if performing a stunt by using them openly.
Lee Yu-na sneaked closer and looked down and pulled something out of her arms.
It was a small iron.
“one two… .”
She dropped the iron ball, listened, and began counting the time.
Then, when the number to be counted exceeded 30, he barely heard a clicking sound, and he put on a terrified expression on his face.
Gulping, swallowing her saliva, she slowly came back and shook her head slightly.
“… If you fall, you won’t be able to find the body, right?”
“If you don’t fall.”
With those words, he gently pulled her back and walked forward.
“If you don’t know, both of you step back a little.”
At that, Lee Yu-na took a few more steps back and Jin Ye-seul took just one step back.
I put my right arm on the ground and started pulling out the branches of the world tree.
I could feel the magic draining away, and the roots appeared from my right arm.
It soon became a branch and eventually became a giant tree.
Kugugugung!
With a roaring sound, the branches of the World Tree became a giant tree, and its body was quickly called out to the edge of the cliff.
Not long after, he started squeezing out more magical power as he slammed into the wall on the other side of the cliff with a thud, and saw that the branch was firmly extended and fixed.
Branches like vines escaped from places in the giant tree, and they held onto anything they could hold, such as pillars, floating stones, and hanging chains, and fixed the body one more layer.
After a while, I ripped the branch of the world tree from my arm with a click, got up on my knees, and looked back.
“Okay, let’s go.”
“… … .”
Youna looked at me with a gaze as if looking at a monster.
With a look on her face as if something was wrong, she shook her head.
“Nope… great job.”
With those words, she tapped the branch with her toes a few times, then began to walk cautiously over it.
I immediately followed, and I felt something strange and looked back.
“… … .”
Jin Ye-seul was still not moving.
She was silently staring at the branch of the world tree that I had pulled out, not me.
“Aren’t you going?”
“yes? Ah yes. Let’s go. Sorry.”
Jin Ye-seul, who had come to his senses and came to his senses, walked up with a gait so light that he could not make a sound with those words.
After looking at her for a moment, I also turned my head and crossed the bridge made of giant trees.
After passing through the second room in an instant, we were finally able to arrive in front of the last gate.
And this time, the sphinx was sitting right in front of the door.
[I will raise a question.]
The guy who opened his eyes looked at us and said with his eyes shining.
[This is an iridescent ghost flying in the dark. The ghost flaps its wings and flies around troubled people. When dawn comes, the ghost disappears, but at night, it comes back to life in everyone’s heart. What is this?]
“… … .”
Really, I couldn’t figure out what he was talking about.
And it seemed like it was the same for two other people besides me.
Lee Yu-na and Jin Ye-seul looked at each other with expressions as if they were looking forward to it.
I pretended to be troubled and covered my mouth with my right hand.
Hope.
I heard someone whisper in a small voice.
“Hope.”
[That’s correct. Move forward… .]
The Sphinx immediately closed her eyes.
With those words, the tightly closed door opened, and I immediately caught the eye of Lee Yu-na, who was sparkling enough to be burdensome.
“Wow, no. Wow… ! How do you get it right when you hear it? I really had no idea what you were talking about!”
“… Lucky for you, well.”
Saying that, Lee Yu-na let out a sound that sounded like admiration.
“Wow, no. But Jihyuk, you are really smart. really. I’ve never seen a smart kid like you.”
“Yes, yes. Let’s go in first and talk.”
Lee Yu-na nodded and started following me.
And behind my back, I could feel someone’s intense gaze as if stabbing me.
“Why?”
“no. nothing.”
When I turned my head, Ye Seul Jin looked at me as if she was asking why.
The piercing gaze from before had long since disappeared.
“… Okay, this is really the last time.”
The last room was a wide open space.
There were three scaffoldings in the middle, and on the other side of the wall was a stone gate with an ogre’s face carved in it with chains.
“Wait, I’ll get ready.”
Each of them walked to the front of the platform, then climbed first onto the one in the center, closed their eyes and raised their hands up.
Then, the smoke that was constantly moving around in her hands gathered and began to form a certain shape.
And it was only after it took the form of a huge Warhammer that was so frightening to look at, that Yuuna opened her eyes.
“done!”
With those words, Jin Ye-seul and I went up on the platform almost at the same time.
The footrest, which was recognized only when a person climbed it, immediately sank with a strange sound, and soon a thumping sound was heard from beyond the stone gate.
“Ahhh!!!”
Soon, the stone gate was shattered and broken.
Beyond that, an ogre, several times heavier than a normal ogre, appeared.
“Ahhh!!!”
The guy who spotted us blinked his eyes and shouted once more.
As if to make up for the years of being imprisoned for a long time, the guy immediately rushed towards us at an unbelievable speed of his massive physique.
And Lee Yu-na, who went out to stop such a guy, opened her mouth slightly.
“yap.”
It was a voice that was not sincere enough that the listeners lost their strength.
“Gaabu Webek!!!”
Soon after, with a thump, a Warhammer, much larger than him, slammed him down as it was.
Warhammer, who did not lose momentum even with that, smashed the ground and dug for a while before stopping its movement.
As she was blocking the dust from flying in with her hand, Lee Yu-na stretched out her hand in the air while procrastinating.
Then, following her gestures, Warhammer began to move as if pounding a mortar with a mortar.
Watching the ogre’s arm, which had come out of the Warhammer as if being ground in a shredder, be sucked inside without a sound, made me nauseous inside.
After moving like that a few times, Yuuna stopped beckoning as if it had been done.
“done. Are you dead now?”
She had a happy expression on her face.
“It’s surprisingly easy to catch those guys. Children with clumsy regenerative powers can’t even recognize their shape if they grind it, put it in water, set it in a fire, or block breathing… .”
“Yes, yes. Wait a moment… .”
I entered the ogre crushed pit, moderately responding to her bragging explanation.
“Wow… .”
Henir put the shadow of Henir into the pool of blood and flesh after struggling to endure his nausea, and after a while he was able to retrieve a ring from it.
They were the twins of the Mirror Walker’s fourth legacy.
Mirror Twins (Unique)
― A ring with two small sparkling jewels inside.
When you wear it, you may feel as if your body is getting lighter for some reason.
― When worn, agility and skill are greatly increased.
― Twice a day, a large amount of mana can be restored.
— ???
“… … .”
I carefully wiped it off.
Then he came up to the puddle and held out towards Jin Ye-seul, who was looking at this side.
“ruler. The fourth legacy we promised.”
“… … .”
However, for some reason, Jin Ye-seul was looking at it with a displeased expression.
I wondered if it was because he had been rescued from the ogre’s corpse, but it wasn’t that kind of hesitation.
“… Yes, it is.”
After a while, Jin Ye-seul nodded and took the ring with a carefully hesitant hand.
“Now there are only two left.”
she muttered so
“… Now there are only two.”
* * *
“Jihyuk, why do you smell so bad?”
“What?”
As I was wiping my sweat with a towel, Ivan spit it out.
In a moment of embarrassment, he carefully sniffed his clothes and looked at him.
“What is it, it smells so bad right now… ?”
“uh? Oh no. sorry. i worded it weird It wasn’t the smell.”
Ivan waved his hand with a look of surprise for a moment.
Then he looked around for a second and came a little closer to me.
“I’m wearing the ring my mother gave me, so why… .”
“ah.”
He nodded slightly at his words.
The reason he reacted like this was roughly predictable, so I smirked lightly.
“Well… Now there is no need to hide the energy of the World Tree, so I’ve released what I was holding back. So maybe that’s it? Why, it is said that the magical power of the World Tree itself is the same as that of nature or spirits.”
“Is it really like that?”
He nodded, saying it was plausible.
“If you ever need it again, just tell me. Because I can talk to my mother. I don’t know why, but my mother remembers your face and name accurately, so I think it’ll be easy to ask.”
“I don’t think that will happen anymore… Anyway, thank you for your concern.”
“What are you thankful for?”
In the meantime, Ivan burst out laughing as if it was not funny at all.
“It looks more like some kind of zoo animal than that.”
As he said, I could feel the gazes staring at me while pretending not to be around me.
It was none other than the people of the archery club.

Officially, I was a member of the World Tree clan, and I almost frankly acted as if Lee Ye-eun was her entourage.
This place and the flower arranging club were almost occupied by Yeeun Lee’s followers, so I honestly wanted to do it.
However, Ye-eun Lee gave a hint, and Kyung-Kyung Kang came forward and told her not to talk to her out of curiosity or be bothered, so that was only the case.
“What can I do?”
I said that and packed my things.
“Still, thanks to Yeon-kyung-senpai, I just stare at you from a distance and don’t come closer. That’s all right.”
“If you’re like me, I think it would be more awkward… .”
It was when he mumbled like a grumbling.
The cell phone in the bag started to vibrate and vibrate.
“… what?”
Cass Lyle’s name was written on the screen.
When I answered the phone, wondering if there was something wrong, I heard his urgent voice.
– hello? Is this Jihyuk’s cell phone?
“Yes, senior. Why?”
― I’m sorry, it’s hard to explain in detail… Can you come to the alchemy room right away?
I said yes to him and hung up the phone right away.
Then he looked at Ivan and waved his hand as if to go.
“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but all the sound came out. Come on. I’ll take care of the cleanup for you as well.”
“Thank you, I’ll do it for you next time.”
“okay. Come on.”
With those words, I left the archery club and headed to the alchemy department.
Cass Lyle, there was only one thing that came to mind for him to make such a fuss.
It must be a story about Alice Blesbuck.
It was time to think so.
He’s a sensitive boy.
The voice sounded like a hum and ringing.
“… … .”
I looked at my right arm without saying a word and gave it strength.
Then the branches of the World Tree came out, and as they were woven together, they formed a shape, and then a human eye and mouth were born.
“under. I think I will live now.”
Mouth took a deep breath and mumbled.
I turned around and my eyes met.
“Sometimes I wish I could give you some air like this. So the so-called… Yes, we are asking for better treatment.”
“Shut up your mouth.”
I dismissed his request.
He didn’t seem to know yet that he should be grateful for keeping them alive rather than killing them.
“It’s so bloody that it’s scary… .”
The mouth opened quietly as if grumbling.
“Isn’t that what you can do for the subject that took all of my strength as a Seven Evil sect? Besides, I told you the answer to the riddle in that dungeon before… .”
Without a word, I put the branches of the world tree into the mouth and eyes and the words of the fragments of Sbangali.
I heard his pathetic voice begging for forgiveness as he would apologize immediately, but I ignored it.
Why the hell did you keep this guy alive and swallow him up?
Leaving behind the regrets that were already pouring in, I hurried my steps first.
