180 – Reunion-1
“Even if the creator of the gate had no combat experience, it was too weak. I think it would have been easy even if it was Wolha instead of me?”
“What do you mean by gate maker?”
Hwaryeon tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand what I was saying.
“Looking at the way they move, they don’t seem to be monsters, but they seem to be intelligent beings, but there aren’t any other intelligent beings in the gate except for the creator of the gate?”
“Ahae must have thought so? Do you think we are the only intelligent beings here?”
“Then isn’t it?”
Hwaryeon just stared at me and smiled, but didn’t say anything.
I was glaring at her because I thought making that expression was worse than laughing at her, so she continued.
“Who are we here to find?”
“Yeon… ah! Did you just want to say that the other person might be younger?”
Hwaryeon nodded her head softly.
“No matter how badly you fight, the boss monster that created the gate won’t lose so badly, and you can’t be completely sure that the opponent is weak, but the probability that the boss monster will fight Ahae is almost zero.”
“I think it’s because I heard you… My opponent is younger… First of all, the probability that a younger person is here is greatly increased?”
“That’s right. Since we can’t be sure that the other person is younger, we can’t guarantee that there are younger people at this gate, but it’s true that the probability of being younger has risen dramatically.”
“I’m glad you seem to be fine.”
I don’t know what dangers will come in the future, but it means that I’m alive and well so far, so my heart is at ease.
“Then why did the younger age start in a different place than where it started?”
“It could be the boss monster’s intention or simply a phenomenon that occurred because the difference in arrival time was huge. Probably, the younger ones are opening the rooms according to the younger ones.”
“Your sister must have found more rooms since she’s been here much longer than we have, right?”
“It may be that you are still searching for a room even though you have already met the clear conditions.”
In a situation where it was half certain that the younger sister was inside this gate, a new question arose.
“Why did you enter this gate?”
“That’s something you can’t figure out. It could be that the guild leader ordered you to enter, or it could be that you came in after seeing a black gate on the way, but there was no way out, so you might be just opening a room. could be.”
Hwaryeoni moved forward.
“No matter how big the gate is, it won’t have an infinite size. Youngha has already carved out a room of a considerable size, so if we clear enough rooms, we will eventually be able to meet the younger.”
“let’s go together!”
I came out behind Hwaryeon who was walking fast, and Wolha followed.
“Quickly give the mission, boss monster.”
As Hwalyeon jokingly said something, a huge clock appeared in the center of the room.
-Tick tock… tock…
The watch had a fairly complex structure.

Numerous gears were intricately intertwined.
“What do you mean?”
“Every time I hear the sound that the time isn’t right, a second should pass, but time subtly passes more. It seems that fixing that is the mission of this room.”
“Is that possible?”
“It’s possible. If you measure and calculate how much time will change each time you touch the gear and set the time, you’ll be able to clear it, but I don’t know how long it will take until then.”
“Shall we go to another room? It’s not like there’s only one room here.”
“That would be nice.”
I went back the way I came and headed for the room on the opposite side.
“Is it really necessary to go straight like this?”
“First of all, you have to keep going straight until you reach the wall so you can get a sense of the size of the entire gate. And as a position that needs to find a younger sister, it needs to be adjacent to as many rooms as possible compared to the rooms it has pioneered, so it moved in a straight line.”
When I arrived at the back room, a monster with red skin appeared this time.
The overall shape was humanoid, but it was called humanoid because it simply had arms and legs, but the difference in actual appearance was greater than the difference between humans and monkeys.
– Knock!
However, even that monster died without being able to utter a final word from Hwaryeoni’s blow.
“let’s go.”
As soon as the monster disappeared and the door opened, I moved to the next door and broke through one room in 30 seconds.
Even after this, similar situations continued to repeat.
When monsters appear, Hwaryeoni treats them lightly, and when a mission with an appropriate level of difficulty appears, it takes some time to clear it.
When a mission that seemed like it would take a long time like clockwork appeared, I cleared more than 50 rooms in an hour by skimming aside.
One hour wasn’t such a short time, but it was a time that couldn’t be said to be that long from the point of view of attacking the gate.
As more than 3 hours have flown just to catch Shaking right now, it can be seen that an hour is still about the beginning.
The reason I emphasized the time of 1 hour is because a room blocked by a wall in one direction appeared in front of us as we were going straight, avoiding only difficult rooms.
“I think this is the end for now.”
“In case you don’t know, go over to the side and check it out.”
After clearing the room right next to it, one side of the wall was similarly blocked.
“Let’s go back and move to the level where we just drilled.”
“okay.”
Anyway, it’s very wide.
Assuming that we came close to 50 rooms to one side and that the inside of the gate was square, we came to the conclusion that there are at least 2500 rooms.
It was a huge place that would take 40 hours to catch 2,500 horses for 1 minute each.
‘When are you going to finish all of this…’
Of course, you can increase your chances of meeting a younger person by finding them in a straight line at regular intervals instead of searching through them all.
After walking backwards to reach the midpoint, I moved sideways this time.
“When can I find it?”
“I don’t think it will take long. Just like we noticed Yeonha, if you noticed that Yeonha is a child, then you’ll dig a straight road to meet us, so we’ll probably meet soon.”
This time, as before, the room was reclaimed in a sweeping fashion.
The room where the monster came out was cleared in less than 30 seconds, and most of the rooms were broken through without too much difficulty.
After passing through only the difficult rooms that sometimes appear, I broke through about 30 rooms again.
-Kwajik!!
As soon as a monster wearing black armor was created, it became a jjabu and died.
He was unable to withstand Hwaryeon’s ability and died instantly, but this time, as usual, three additional doors were opened.
“I should have found it.”
I didn’t notice anything because I didn’t have a sense of humor, but the Heavenly Demon smiled brightly as if he was getting younger.
“You’ve pioneered a lot on your own. It’s just that they’ve been together in one place, and now seeing that they’re stretching out one by one, it seems they’ve moved to find us.”
“You mean the younger brother knew of our existence?”
“Yes, it seems that the being I met earlier was younger.”
It made me feel better.
It was good that I found a younger person, and it was also good that I was ahead of younger people in terms of pure fighting skills.
“Did the younger brother find us?”
“I don’t think that’s the case. I also can’t see beyond the room, but no matter how much Yeon-ha is an intelligence-related Awakener, I don’t think she’ll be able to find us beyond the room.”
“Then why don’t you sneak up and surprise me?”
Seeing that Hwaryeon doesn’t show a worried expression, it seems like he’s doing well, so it would be fun to joke around.
“Okay. Let’s go quickly.”
Following the Heavenly Horse, I went to the front door, and unlike before, something new did not pop out, and a room with all three doors open came out.
“If you go all the way to the left from here, you will find Yeonha.”
“How long do you have to go?”
“You only have to go about 8 squares, and new missions don’t appear along the way, so it doesn’t take long.”
“For now, let’s go to the front of the room where the younger sister is, and think about it.”
After breaking through the rooms along the door, all the rooms are clean.
All the rooms were empty, only the doors were beautifully studded.
“How can I surprise you?”
“I think you’d better just sneak up behind and hit a wall and stand when you come back.”
“good idea.”
He continued to move one space behind his younger brother.
After breaking through 20 rooms for 30 minutes, the young man faced the wall, looked at the surrounding area, then turned around and came to our room.
“uh?”
As soon as the younger sister saw us, she stood there in a daze, but her eyes only blinked as if she couldn’t believe we were here.
“Why are you here?”
“You followed.”
I was so happy to see my younger sister after a long time, so I hugged her tightly.
