180. The share of those left behind
trudge trudge.
“What happened?”
“The escape route is blocked.”
Seunghyun Kang approached the stairs.
The stairs were crushed and I couldn’t get up.
“It must be because of the flash wave that Wismel fired earlier…”
“It annoys people until the end.”
Seunghyun Kang clicked his tongue lightly and got up.
I thought it was over after blocking Wismel, but it wasn’t over until I went to the ground.
“Okay, now that it’s like this, I have no choice but to break it!”
Kim Ho-jung took out the golden glory and tried to hit the wall.
widely!
However, Kang Seung-hyun held on to the golden glory and stopped Kim Ho-jung.
“That is dangerous.”
“huh? why?”
“The flash wave swept through the area. It looks fine from the outside, but even a slight impact here will cause it to collapse.”
Even the walls and ceiling that hadn’t collapsed were shattered in places due to the impact of the flash wave.
It’s just that I’ve been lucky enough to hold on so far.
“But Mr. Kang feels like he will survive even if the building collapses.”
“It doesn’t sound like you have anything to say.”
“Anyway… you mean you can’t break it? What would it be like if it were just the two of us?”
Kim Ho-jeong glanced around.
Now, not only the two of them, but also the puppeteers from Rebecca Spencer’s studio are gathered on the lowest floor of the workshop.
“And no matter how he breaks the walls and rocks…”
Kang Seung-hyun drank the stamina potion and activated [Observation Eye].
[Stairway to the ground.]
[Caught up in a powerful attack and broken.]
[It seems impossible to go up.]
When I looked inside through a crack in the rock, a message appeared.
I roughly expected it, but the stairs were also smashed under the influence of the flash wave.
“It’s impossible to escape to the ground because the stairs going up are broken.”
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have asked Wismel to open the door…”
“Only when I need it. Damn child.”
Kang Seung-hyun clicked his tongue and glared at the Wismel doll.
I thought about smashing it to vent my anger, but I gave up because Rebecca was looking at me with a very sad face.
“Uh uh…”
“Oh my head…”
“Why am I lying down…?”
While the two were chatting, the fallen puppeteers began to come to their senses one by one.
They were all drugged up, so they didn’t seem to have any memory right before they died.
“Please explain the situation to those idiots.”
“okay!”
Kim Ho-jeong explained what had happened so far.
Wismel was revived by sacrificing the souls of Tracotti people, and Pengrill manipulated Wismel like a puppet in a puppet show.
In the end, Kang Seung-hyun wiped them both out, Wismel disappeared as soon as he was resurrected, and Pengril struggled to abandon his body, but eventually died.
Although it was a bit fabricated and exaggerated, it explained the current situation in an easy-to-understand manner.
“Did something like that happen?”
“To defeat Mr. Wizmel…”
“…”
“Sacrificing the people of Tracotti? Didn’t you hear that?”
“You drugged us?”
The response was generally half-and-half.
There were some puppeteers who reacted calmly as if they were already aware of Pengrill’s atrocities, but most of them were idiots who didn’t know anything and were fooled by the fact that they were just doing it for the sake of Tracotti.
“Do you know how much I suffered because of the bullshit you guys did?”
Kang Seung-hyun glared at the puppeteers with a thick face.
It was because I was in a very upset state because the points I had collected preciously were taken away by someone else.
“Well, I’d like to have all of you as accomplices in pengrilling, but…”
Kang Seung-hyun glanced at Rebecca.
She accepted her brother’s death calmly, but this time she shook her head.
‘Are these friends asking for help?’
Rebecca doesn’t say anything, but seems to think that Pengrill is enough for anyone who has to die here.
It seems that Wismel’s children don’t want the people of Tracotti to die anymore.
‘Then I can’t help it.’
If there’s no compelling reason to kill it, it’s not bad to let it go if someone begs you to spare it.
Kang Seung-hyeon removed the weapon he was holding and continued.
“Since everyone went to the other world after sitting there stupidly, I will forgive you once.”
“Thank you for…”
“thank you! Thank you for saving me!”
The puppeteers quickly knelt down and greeted Kang Seung-hyun.
It seems that there is no notice at all.
‘To defeat Wismel-sama is to say that you’re an incredibly talented person!’
‘If I mess around, I’ll be like a pen grill…’
‘Let’s lie down here!’
Kang Seung-hyun servilely looked down at the prostrate puppeteers and pointed to the stairs.
“Now that I’ve roughly explained what I need, let’s get to the main point. We can’t use the stairs we’ve come down now because it’s like that because of Pengrill’s dog.”
“I’m sure…”
“But we don’t know when the basement will collapse if we destroy it.”
Patter Patter.
Even while Kang Seung-hyun was talking, dust particles started pouring down little by little from all over the ceiling.
I think it will be difficult to stay for a long time.
“In other words, we are trapped in the basement, and if you don’t come up with a way to get out quickly, we’re all going to get along. Is that what you mean?”
In a word, it meant ‘if you don’t want to die, move right away’.
The puppet masters looked at each other and then nodded.
“There is a door over there.”
Among them, the one with the highest ranking said with his head flat.
“door?”
“There is a door over there.”
As the guy said, I looked into the corner of the basement and found a very old wooden door.
“Where does this door lead?”
“I don’t know. Pengrill-nim told me not to approach him until Wismel-nim resurrected on the promised day…” “
You don’t know? Can I go through this suspicious door?”
“Still, if you go through that door, you might be able to get out somewhere else.”
“Are you suspicious just by looking at it?”
Kim Ho-jeong glanced at the door and said.
Obviously, the Spencer Studio is a new building that has only been built for a few months. However, the door here was an old door that seemed to be hundreds of years old.
“It’s suspicious, but there’s no way right now.”
As the puppeteer said, there is only one door from this room to anywhere other than the stairs upstairs, this old wooden door.
“Seeing that Pengrill blocked access, there must be something.”
Moreover, if Kang Seung-hyeon’s memory is correct, this door must have been made of wood made of the same material as the box that kept [Wismel’s Left Hand].
“Looking at the fact that it was blocked until Wizmel-nim resurrected, it must be an important space.”
“Let’s open it.”
Rebecca also agreed with Kang’s words.
Since there was no time left or options anyway, Kang Seung-hyun and the others opened the wooden door.
rattle.
“It’s locked!”
“Of course it’s locked… Let’s just break it!”
“Wait.”
Seunghyun Kang immediately activated [Eye of Observation].
Then, I could see a magic circle rising above the wooden door.
“As expected, the barrier magic was applied.”
“My brother must have walked. Because my brother was a talented man who was good at using magic…”
Actually, the door is old, but the magic itself is not that old.
“We’ll solve it!”
“Compared to Fengrill-nim, I’m inexperienced, but we’ve learned magic too…”
“Then I’ll leave it to you.”
It was the moment when several puppeteers approached to open the door.
thud!!
Kurleung!
Doo doo!
“It collapses!”
At the same time, one of the pillars supporting the ceiling collapsed, causing the entire basement to shake.
It seems to be really limited now.
“This is all wrong now!”
“It’s a punishment! It’s a punishment!”
“There! Is it too far to open the door?”
“Sorry, no matter how fast I think it will take about 10 minutes….”
“Then you only need to endure 10 minutes.”
Kurr!
Hard rock shards fell overhead, but
crisp!
Seunghyun Kang swung his silver glory and lightly smashed it.
‘You have to hold out until the door opens in a basement that may collapse at any moment. It seems that Pengrill’s son is desperate to die alone.’
It’s nothing if you think about it that way.
A person who didn’t win even in his lifetime can’t win even if he falls behind.
Seunghyun Kang shouted with a calm face.
“Everyone struggles somehow. There is no one here who wants to go to hell on good terms with Pengril, right?”
“that’s right! All you have to do is hold on!”
Kim Ho-jung dug the ground with a shovel and started piling up soil at high speed.
[Pillars of the Earth]
Pillars of earth that appeared in front of me supported the collapsing ceiling.
“That’s right!”
“That’s our specialty!”
The puppeteers who saw it also came to their senses and put their hands on the wall or the ground.
Pasasac!
Tow pillars made of earth rose from everywhere and began to block the collapsing ceiling.
“Now this is the limit…”
“I think I can survive somehow!”
Kurleung!
Gurl!
Of course, it was not an easy task to hold on to a building with dozens of people sitting down, even if the earth pillars were erected.
Kang Seung-hyun and his party were exhausted from the arduous battle, and the puppet masters had just been resurrected and had little magic power.
“not there yet? Are you out of energy now?”
“Do it quick! I’m going to die!”
“W Opened!”
With those words, the old, old wooden door opened with a creak.
There was no light beyond the door, so it was a dark passageway where nothing could be seen, but the party had no choice.
“Go in!”
“Hurry! hurry!”
“First of all, Mr. Wismel!”
The puppeteers frantically started running through the door. I left the corpses of empty Wismel dolls and pengrills with them.
“Come on, Mr. Kang! Go in first!”
“all right. Rebecca, let’s go.”
Finally, when Kang Seung-hyun and his party passed through the door,
kurrrrr!
As the pillars of soil that had been barely holding on completely collapsed, the lowest floor of the workshop disappeared without a trace.
-“Whew, it was close….”
Kim Ho-jeong, who entered last, sighed and muttered. Adding that I don’t really like being crushed to death.
“It looks like I saved my life.”
Kang Seung-hyun brushed off the dust from his clothes.
Kim Ho-jeong also muttered while taking off her robe.
“How far did this aisle lead?”
“well.”
The entrance was completely blocked.
Now we have no choice but to move forward.
“I don’t know what lies ahead, so is it okay if I keep going?”
“What if it’s a dangerous place?”
“I’d rather wait for rescue here…”
The puppeteers seem so frightened that they don’t have the heart to move.
“Oh wait!”
Then Rebecca groped for the wall and shouted.
“It’s dark, so I can’t see it, but there’s something on the wall here!”
“I’ll take a look.”
Because Kang Seung-hyeon had the [Night Vision +10%] option, he was able to distinguish objects even in pitch-black darkness.
“This is…”
A unique but familiar sign engraved on the wall.
It was a pattern that symbolized Wismel.
‘Come to think of it, this room was blocked from approaching until Wismel was resurrected.’
Conversely, it means that you can approach Wismel right after he is resurrected.
“Everyone moves.”
“Move?”
“I think I know what’s out there.”
Kang Seung-hyeon pointed to the inside of the aisle and said.
