chapter 244
… … hmm. must be an illusion
It was a time when I was enjoying my time under a parasol after having bathed in the water as easily as I could.
“Isn’t Eugene playing anymore?”
Choiyeon naturally lays down on the sunbed next to her while wiping her hair dry with a towel.
“Yeah, playing in the water is fun… … I’m tired of something.”
Even more so if the opponents you play with are Awoken.
“Ha ha ha ha! It’s a tsunami!!”
As Young Hoham smashes the sea with both hands, everything around him is swept back as if a bomb had exploded.
Even while the children caught up in the waves were drifting far away, Kanghyeon lazily maintained his place, manipulating the seawater as if he were used to it.
Do you think I’m stuck there… … I felt exhausted just thinking about it.
“Wow, that’s really funny! Brother Youngho! Once more! Once more!”
“Once more?! hahahaha! nice! Let’s go further?!”
“Yeah!!”
Over there, the title ‘Young-ho brother’ that Jin-woo called was like a nickname for Young Ho-ham.
I heard that only close people are invited, but to think that it would be like that after playing in the water together for about 20 minutes.
… … Isn’t it too easy to get close?
when you’re thinking like that
“Kiyah hoo~!”
Jin-woo flies away again, leaving his body in the current.
Seeing that, Sae-ah shouted, ‘If you fly too far, you’ll float away!’, but Jin-woo doesn’t seem to worry. He smiled brightly from afar.
“hey! Do you think an Incheon man would succumb to the sea like this?! don’t worry! Even if a real tsunami comes instead of this——wow?!”
Then Jinwoo suddenly disappears into the water.
Seeing this, Sae-ah bursts into laughter as if it is absurd.
“No, as soon as I say sea man, you joke like this? Okay, let’s see how long you can dive.”
Sae-ah is watching Jin-woo who disappeared like that. however… … For some reason, Jinwoo didn’t come out.
“wait for a sec.”
Get up from the sunbed, run to the beach, and activate the skill [Aura Sona].
No way, it was a skill that I activated with a very unbelievable feeling… … .
“Jinwoo. Did he really disappear?”
For some reason, Jinwoo’s aura was not felt at all around him.
“yes? Is Jinwoo disappearing?”
As a result, Sae-Ah, who was floating in the water, was also startled and approached this way, and the others also began to gather towards me one by one.
This time, the area is expanded by spreading the aura more widely.
Then, two auras were weakly caught at the end.
“… … A huge mass of magic dragging what appears to be Jinwoo. It seems that the monster dragged Jin-woo away.”
“Marako? Did a monster pop out? Then this is a big deal, kid!”
Monsters popping out of dungeons was a rare situation.
That’s why each country also attacked or managed dungeons on a large scale. However, in a dungeon that was neglected like this, there were occasional situations where monsters popped out like now.
Of course, those who were active outside have the characteristic of eventually returning to the most familiar environment, the dungeon.
that means that.
“Jinwoo, it seems like you were suddenly dragged away. Will you be able to hold out until we go by yourself? … ?”
As Sae-ah said, the problem was whether Jin-woo could survive.
“According to what you said, you were taken right away, kid? I can follow you right now!”
Young Ho-ham, who made a decision right away, looked at Kang-hyeon behind him.
“Hyung Kang. Did you follow along well with the guys?”
“Yes, Master. Everyone, gather here for a moment.”
As they are specialists in marine dungeons, everyone gathers around Choi Kang-hyun.
“First, Gandei!”
Young Hoham dives straight into the sea.
at the same time.
“Just hold the center well.”
Kanghyun, who created a huge sphere by moving the surrounding sea water, started to run through the sea following Young Ho-ham.
“and… … .”
Literally, the sight of passing through the middle of the sea was reminiscent of an aquarium. To the point where we forget our purpose for a moment.
For a while, everyone’s attention was focused on the creature swimming at a tremendous speed in front of them.
“… … Eugene. What kind of fish is that?”
“No, I don’t think it’s fish.”
It was none other than Young Hoham, who was wriggling hard in the distance.
“and… … Can a human swim like that?”
Sae-ah’s mouth was wide open at his bizarre swimming skills, and Young-je was watching his movements with interest.
“Master is the fastest man in the world by sea. They are considerate so that we can keep up with that speed now.”
“That speed isn’t power?”
Young-je looks dumbfounded at the fact that that speed is not the highest speed.
Did we make our way into the sea for about three minutes following Young Hoham, who was taking care of us?
I began to see the back of a huge shark that was ahead of us in the distance, and Jin-woo, who was being dragged by its mouth.
“Hey, hey! Jinwoo is over there!”
Jinwoo’s gesture of trying to resist even while being dragged away.
However, due to the tremendous speed, it was not able to counter the current applied to the body, so the attack was not properly loaded.
An attack that is blocked by the monster’s hard skin.
Fortunately, the shark’s teeth were also not able to pierce Jin-woo’s leg.
“Kanghyun. Can’t you speed it up any more?”
“… … this is the maximum Judging by its speed, it doesn’t seem like an ordinary shark.”
At that time, Jin-woo, who had struggled to turn around, wiggled his arms hard.
At first, I did something, but as I concentrated, I started to see the message little by little.
It was a hand signal learned at the academy.
‘I’m fine.’
‘Quickly, I want to join.’
It seems to let us know that it’s worth holding on.
Shark and Jin-woo, who are falling down at such a tremendous speed.
Under the sea where the two disappeared, something began to appear.
“That one?”
The blue dungeon entrance reminiscent of a black hole.
It looked very similar to the place we commonly call ‘Blue Hole’.
“Director. That’s all the entrance… … ?”
“I guess so.”
Judging by the waves and magical powers felt around the entrance, it didn’t seem like a dangerous dungeon, but the size alone was truly at a level that could be called the greatest of all time.
“Is this why the military couldn’t touch it?”
It’s a scale that makes it difficult to know where to start, but the risk isn’t particularly high?
From the government’s point of view, it can be said that it is a dungeon that has nothing good to touch.
“Oh, Hoham just entered first.”
“We will enter right away.”
Following Young Hoham, who threw himself into the blue blue hole, we also entered the inside and at the same time—
“… … Wow.”
Shincheonji unfolded before our eyes.
“I thought there was another sea inside the sea… … .”
I thought the beach of the East Sea, where I had been swimming and playing until just now, was blue enough, but as soon as I entered here, what caught my eyes was a brilliant emerald light.
The clear sea where you can clearly see everything around you, which can only be seen in movies or overseas.
And underneath it, a huge red castle that I couldn’t even imagine was showing up.
Its appearance and appearance was that of a dragon palace that could only be seen in fairy tales.
“Hey guys! I can breathe now!”
At that time, Young-Ho-Ham, who came towards us with strong water bubbles, moved his mouth and shouted out of the water.
In response, Youngje sticks out his head.
“Oh, are you really taking a break?”
When Yeongje, who was the first to check with his own body, escaped from the bubble, Kanghyeon made the bell surrounding us disappear.
It was a strange feeling.
It is obviously in the water, so the feeling of scuba diving is applied to the whole body, but a strange phenomenon that breathes.
In the first place, I knew that a dungeon was a place that did not follow the rules of reality, but… … It was a really strange feeling to experience it with my own body.
“Eugene. look over there.”
When you know how to move so slowly. Choi Yeon came up to me and pointed to me while patting my shoulder.
The scenery at her fingertips.
It was hard to see because of the distance, but it was definitely a shark entering the dragon palace with something biting on it that continued to slap its body.
“That’s it, Jinwoo.”
“teacher. Shall I go right away?”
At this, Kanghyun immediately turned his arm and tried to run.
“No, just wait.”
Unexpectedly, it was Young Hoham who stopped it.
He looked around for a moment and continued quietly.
“Can you feel it? Seeing that the buildings around them are so blatant, they don’t seem to be ordinary guys.”
As Young Ho-ham said, going straight ahead to rescue Jin-wu right now can be seen as a bad idea.
Judging from the huge castle architecture with the lights coming on, there is a high probability that the things in this dungeon are ‘intelligent lifeforms’. If so, the possibility that troops for defense are hiding throughout this castle cannot be ruled out.
If stimulated incorrectly, Jin-woo could be hurt.
at that time.
─────!!!
I felt a huge storm of magical power from the dragon palace where the shark entered.
There was no life, but the unusual energy felt, it was clear that there was a pandemonium.
“From now on, hold on to your heart. From now on, it’s a real battle.”
Following that order, everyone nervously landed on the outer shell of the Dragon Palace.
‘I’ll go to rescue you soon, so hold on a little longer.’
I sat down on the floor and clenched my fists, thinking that the Jinwoo I knew would be able to hold on.
* * *
“Zuuhuhhhhh! They say that General Shark has entered the palace!!”
“That’s right! Stop by!”
“General Shark is entering!!”
The heart of the palace beautifully decorated with pearls, corals, jewels and stars.
Among them, in a place called the throne room, numerous servants gathered and were waiting for General Shark to enter the palace.
A gigantic door that opens with a squeak. Afterwards, General Shark, who was biting Jin-Woo, enters and spit out Jin-Woo.
“Aww! OMG? uh?”
Jinwoo immediately embraces his feet and confirms that they are fine.
At the same time, when he opens his tightly closed eyes, Jin-woo makes a puzzled expression at the splendid sight that unfolds.
“majesty! While investigating the shock that occurred near the Yonggung Palace, as the phone said. We have captured a creature that appears to be related to the incident!”
After spitting out Jinwoo, the shark bends down and bows its head toward the huge tooth sitting in front of it.
A long beard covering half of the face and eyes hidden by the eyebrows. And a crown of corals, jewels, and pearls adorned her hair.
But what made all of that nothing was his gigantic body, reminiscent of a whale.
“Yes, it was hard.”
A voice that makes the surrounding sea water tremble just by opening its mouth.
At this, Jin-Woo is surprised and steps back.
“Hey, what the hell is this? Where are you?!”
“Calm down, little fish.”
“what? Bird or fish?”
Jin-woo’s expression hardens at his words, calling himself a fish.
However, the dragon king judged the figure to be frightened and rolled up the corners of his mouth inside his beard.
After all, before digging up information, instilling fear into the opponent was the best way.
“If you answer well, you won’t die. Please open that little mouth once. A fish.”
Jin-woo trembles at the words of the dragon king.
“Hoo. It is clear that there is no will to speak. also. You’d better start by eating an arm or a leg. Hello! Here, this little fish’s left arm——”
“Fish fish fish fish fish!!”
A strange current begins to swarm the center of the audience room.
Due to the failure to control his anger, the seawater begins to stir due to the magical power radiating from his body.
“Who are the f*cking monster bastards looking for a fish——”
Just like that, before Eugene and his friends arrived, the moment he tried to slaughter and throw away all the monsters in this place.
“Go!!!”
When the Dragon King, who was sitting in front of Woo, shouted, a huge magical power came out and swept Jin-Woo’s body.
“uh… … ?”
It took a while for him to realize that his power, which had been slowly taking over the surroundings, disappeared in an instant.
The action taken by Jin-woo, who began to roll his head at a tremendous speed, was—
“This fish head will explain everything. His Majesty the Dragon King!!”
──It was a struggle to survive.
