Chapter 243
The time when Jo Hyun-soo and Meyers chased down the expedition.
The expedition team in search of Delverton, the source of the pestilence fog, was trapped in the ground.
Luminous stones and various crystals that emit their own light.
The scenery would have been beautiful normally, but not now.
It wasn’t so nice to see it reflected in the scattered light.
Dwarves scattered everywhere.
Sharply shining crystal fragments are scattered on the floor of the cavity baked with intense heat.
Things stuck through the walls were also easily found, and the creatures were in a desperate situation as their bodies were pierced by fragments that flew like daggers.
“Big. Is everyone okay?”
The first to wake up was Behiltan, the head of the expedition and the representative of Framberg.
My body ached, but I couldn’t afford to sigh.
The fact that he had risen higher than any other dwarf in Framburg and received this much damage meant that the other members of the expedition team were most likely fatally injured.
I was out of luck.
Maybe it was a predestined outcome.
Plague Fog Contaminated Earth.
rising gas.
Volatile gas filled somewhere in the ground could be lurking anywhere, and the dwarves digging down the ground with their pickaxes and the sparks that fell from the drill were enough sparks to set off the bomb.
The accident was fleeting, and the result was devastating.
“Edmill! Binance! Shit!”
I checked from a nearby colleague, but there was no answer.
Behiltan, who laid the two bodies upright, looked at the other colleagues.
“Heh heh heh.”
“Ughhh.”
Fortunately, those who remain are alive.
It could have been luck, or it could have been thanks to the behiltan.
Dwarves are a race that moves first when the person in charge is in charge. That meant Behiltan, the representative and leader of the expedition, moved in the lead, and it meant that he took on most of the explosions.
This was the reason why those behind the behiltan were relatively less likely to be caught in the explosion.
but.
“Chief… My arm doesn’t move.”
“It’s great.”
They too were in serious condition.
Crystal shards that became knives tore through their safety equipment.
The one who was shaken by the explosion could not come to his senses, and the one who hit his head as he fell out poured out a nosebleed.
It’s never a good situation. The potion he brought was also broken by the explosion.
Of course, I put extra equipment and potions in subspace items.
[Broken subspace belt]
– The main magic circle has been severely damaged.
-If an excellent wizard painstakingly restores the items inside, I don’t know if they’ll be recovered.
[Broken subspace ring]
– The core magic stone is broken.
– Unrecoverable.
– Why don’t you value things?
They too could not withstand the shock and broke.
There is one subspace item that is not broken.
All that was inside were 10 bottles of potion, 5 sets of extra protective equipment, a few air candies, and 2 days worth of convenience food.
It’s ridiculously short.
All the roads passed by the huge explosion collapsed.
I wonder if the rescue team will be able to find it.
All creatures died.
Only Behiltan could move the body, and their bodies with torn protective equipment quickly deteriorated.
Six people are down.
-Behiltan gritted
his teeth and looked at the place where the explosion occurred.
It’s all here.
I finally found it.
[Al of Plague – Delverton]
– It is a trace of destruction that came into the tower with Framberg due to Behiltan’s deal.
– I pray that you will escape from destruction.
– Very hard.
– The pestilence fog is discharged.
Fog was constantly pouring out of the black stone with holes like basalt.
After staring at it for a while, Behiltan knelt down in front of his colleagues.
Pour the potion into the mouths and wounds of your comrades and put on extra protective gear.
Since it’s already been exposed, it’s only a matter of dragging out time, but if you don’t do that, it’s clear that you’ll lose everyone right now.
Five extras, six patients.
Laying down his colleagues on a relatively flat surface, he takes off his mask and protective equipment.
moment to explode. Because he protected himself, his equipment is relatively intact.
“Ouch. oops.”
After reading Behiltan’s thoughts, the expedition member struggles to raise his hand to stop him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take it. Don’t you know how strong my body is?”
Even if he refused, he was exposed to fog and lost his strength.
Behiltan, who held the expedition member’s hand gently, gave him a gas mask and glove purification cloak.
It’s a little bit, but the amount of fog has decreased.
It is said that the discharge is almost over, which means that the eggs of plague will also move to other places soon.
-Chang
He picks up an axe.
A loved one who has been with you for a long time.
“Today will be the last expedition. In any sense.”
-Quaaaaaang!
Behiltan vigorously swung the axe.
* * *
Myers and I moved on and on.
An endless journey underground.
I can’t figure out whether I’m below or above, moving forward or sideways.
As I lost my direction and dug a dark tunnel, I felt the anxiety that I was getting farther from the ground.
It is only natural to think of the certainty that no one will find it if the road we have passed collapses, and the future that will slowly die.
An instinctive sense of fear could creep up on him, but Myers, the deputy commander of the expedition, went out in search of his comrades.
-Chiihii
“It stings so much.”
“I don’t think it’s on a stinging level.”
“To that.”
time to take a break. Myers poured the water of life on his forearm full of bruises.
I don’t know how many times already.
The arm swells, sinks, changes to a color that cannot come out of the human body, and then returns.
Although the effect of the water of life is great, continued damage and recovery puts strain on the body.
Even if that’s an NPC, a dwarf.
His slightly trembling arm proves that fact.
It’s been an hour since I started looking for a passage that my colleagues would have passed through because of my body’s reaction.
If it was originally, giving up was the norm, and even if they went to the rescue, it would have actually been a task to recover the body.
It wouldn’t have been easy to make the decision to use your body as collateral.
I glanced over at Myers.
I don’t say much, but I’m not in good shape.
It’s not just the forearms that are the problem. exposed body. It’s a little bit, but the fog that has penetrated the gap is eating away at the whole body.
“You must hurry. Now I understand why the crypt collapsed. There must have been a gas explosion.”
“I don’t think the fog was volatile.”
“Apart from the fog, the contaminated land is filled with gas. Even after the expedition went in, there were several explosions. I didn’t think it was a big deal because it was a common phenomenon, but this time it seems to have exploded properly.”
It wasn’t just words.
I found the body of a creature in the middle of the move, but it was not in a good state even if it was empty.
A form familiar to me. Because my main power also exploded.
Consequently, we are moving in the right direction.
Traces are also traces.
“Can you hear me?”
“Don’t listen.”
It’s very subtle, but you can hear the vibration.
A sound that rises through the ground.
It is not a natural sound.
I closed my eyes and concentrated. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact location because it echoes everywhere.
Myers also put his ear to the ground to find the source of the sound.
“I can go down diagonally. It looks like you’ve rested enough, so let’s move. This short time will be desperate for someone. Then great!”
Myers, who was getting up, stumbles.
I grabbed him as he was about to fall and held me back.
“Leave it to me.”
“Please.”
I know Myers’ mind, but he’s already close to his limit.
I don’t know if I used the water of life to my heart’s content, but I only used it minimally for the expedition members who would be trapped inside.
The number of lives I brought was 50.
Myers used 3 crabs.
It is estimated that approximately 9 members of the expedition team will be trapped inside. Assuming there are no deaths.
I don’t know, but it must be a serious situation.
You’ll need a fair amount of life water to last until you give first aid and get out of the crypt.
I wonder if what I have now will be enough…
I kept having negative thoughts, but I tried to ignore them and use the skill.
[Tunnel Movement (A) Lv.2]
-Kurrureung
Tunnel Movement has already been upgraded to A grade.
If you knew the direction, you could make your way quickly.
He carried Myers, who was unable to stand properly, on his back and moved forward.
“I think you get along well with dwarves. You can tell just by looking at the ground.”
“I did some shoveling.”
“Did you do a lot of stupid things?”
“I can’t say anything.”
Seeing as you joke, it’s good that you still have some energy left.
It must have been about 10 minutes since I dug down with a smile.
– Kwaaaaang!
-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gung!
“Did you hear Myers?”
“I heard you.”
The slight vibration was clearly felt.
It is clear that there was even a drill and pickaxe that the expedition probably used.
I finally followed the explorer.
however.
“That’s strange.”
Myers murmurs.
right. weird.
A strange sense of heterogeneity.
There are not just one or two members of the expedition team, so why is it that only one person can hear the sound?
A cool sensation ran up my back.
-Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
. When they finally reached the joint through the road.
“Shit! Shit! Break please!”
“Behiltan!”
I was able to find a behiltan striking a black stone without proper protective equipment.
The exposed body was already undergoing necrosis, and black blood was flowing from the nose and mouth.
The ax that appears to be his weapon is broken and lying on the floor, his bare fists covered in blood.
“stop it! Let’s start with treatment!”
“Leave this!”
He hurriedly catches him, but resists fiercely.
Even so, when I saw him being pulled back, I was already very weak.
If it was originally, you would have easily shaken me off.
“thank god! There are survivors, Evileye!”
“Here you are!”
While the behiltan was drying, Myers looked at the members of the expedition.
I gave him the water of life and sprinkled it on Behiltan.
I’m in bad shape. It looks like it will collapse any minute. The hand that was written so harshly that the bones were visible was shaking, and the mouth breathing hard was dying black to the gums.
It was a wonder how he could stand, but his eyes were burning.
anger and despair. A face full of complex emotions.
“You have to break that thing. We have no chance left! There is no one who is in good shape anymore. damn it!”
“That’s it.”
I looked at a rock that looked like basalt.
colossal size. The surroundings were torn apart to the point of being devastated, but the full outline was not even revealed.
A mineral that could not even destroy the NPC Behiltan.
It’s weak even now, but it emits a fog of pestilence.
[Al of Plague – Delverton]
– It is a trace of destruction that came into the tower with Framberg due to Behiltan’s deal.
– I pray that you will escape from destruction.
– Very hard.
– The pestilence fog is discharged.
Here’s the basic info.
You entered the tower through the trade of behiltan?
It was a significant sentence, but let’s move on for now. Because you can ask about it later.
One thing I care more about.
The ‘egg’ of plague
meant that this was just the surface.
[The SS-class power, star-watching eyes are displayed.]
Additional information has been revealed through the power.
[Al-Delverton of Plague]
-The will of destruction.
– An egg containing a fragment of chaos, Delverton.
-Delverton will bring a perfect end to the Dwarves of Framberg according to the deal with Behiltan. -That
there is something inside
the remaining dwarven count (2384/312900356) .
I doubted my eyes. transaction? end?
leave all
‘There were only 2,000 dwarves left over 300 million?’
This is the story of when you left other races and only counted the dwarves.
The weight was different.
When you simply hear the word destruction and to confirm it with specific numbers.
Watching people die right in front of them.
“There are no more chances. We have delayed and postponed our destruction at great cost, but the end is coming to us too.”
Behiltan muttered blankly.
This man is frustrating. What does end mean?
I rolled my head.
can you do it I don’t know. Still, there is a possibility.
“Myers Behiltan can move, right? Get out with the patients. There is a water of life, so if you treat it quickly, you will be able to recover. Deokchun will help you. right?”
“That’s it.”
After reading my thoughts, Deokchun lifts up the two members of the expedition with his tongue.
Shake the behiltan to wake up and point to the egg of plague.
I have something to check.
“Can’t you break this?”
“At least with the current equipment, it’s impossible. The fog discharge is also coming to an end. When the fog stops, this too will disappear.”
“It means there is still time.”
-Sueug
I put my hand on the pestilence egg.
You can feel the mist flowing through the hole.
“Get out. I’ll take care of this.”
“What are you doing!”
what to do
[Sprinting Mist (AA) Lv.9]
You’re trying to get inside.
