Yoohyun moved early in the morning. The final goal was to defeat Rich, but rescuing survivors was also important. The sooner the investigation team survives, the better the chances.
Normally, I would have carried the luggage I needed to explore Aria, but this time it was different.
Percy kept all of his group's luggage in his subspace, so all he had to do was move with his weapons and equipment.
That's why. The march speed was faster than ever.
Especially in the case of Song Song Gyeong-yeon and Lee Seo-yeon, the change was great just because they carried the heaviest burden because they had the lowest physical ability.
Just because Jim was gone, it felt like a walk across Aria. In addition, Percy vomited fresh food ingredients stored in the subspace every hour.
... you probably won't be able to experience relaxing meals in Aria without this opportunity.
Just one wizard changed the mood.
On the third day, Yoohyun paused.
When Yoohyun stopped, the group that followed behind stopped walking.
Yoohyun stopped walking because of the traces that remained on the floor. The group also noticed that Yoohyun found something and looked around. I see footprints.
Traces of the Investigation Squad that have been invisible for several days have finally been discovered.
“This is · · ·. ”
Yoohyun bent her knees and looked at the numerous footprints that remained on the floor.
From the number of footprints, there was a clear trail of investigators.
Whether there has been a battle here or not, there are signs of fighting everywhere.
But I can't see the monster's corpse. There's blood on it, too, but that was weird.
So all you can think about is whether the monsters of Aria took the dead body, or turned it into an undead. This is just the assumption.
In a typical case, I would have thought that Aria's monster took the body, but considering the battles that have taken place in the last 3 days, I think it is more likely that it has turned into an undead.
As I came here, Yoohyun's group fought Undead to get tired of every night.
Due to the nature of the undead, the movement was more active during the day than at night.
“I think we'd better go after this trail. ”
Song Gyeonggin, who was observing the trail alongside him, said:
In her words, Yoohyun nodded and bent his knee.
“You'd better do that. If you follow this trail, you'll find the Investigation Squad. ”
I don't know how long I'll be alive, but it's not bad to follow me once.
As the judgment stood, Yoohyun moved along the trail without hesitation.
The movement of the cognitive group became more urgent due to the discovery of traces of the investigation team. I was terrified that Richie was waiting for the group, but everyone followed me with a stubborn face.
We all know what the current situation of the Investigation Force is.
It could not be slowed down.
"We camp here today."
After a half-day march, I decided to stop here today. As the forest was changing, Yoohyun felt that he was almost there.
If you work a little harder, you'll be able to enter today, but it's not a very good choice.
I want to spend the night in the jungle to a minimum.
It was time to finish preparing for the camp quickly and check the path to move tomorrow morning.
“I suggest you go in tomorrow morning. There's a shield about 200 meters ahead. It's probably Richie's shield. If you go in there, you'll find a lot of undead compared to what we've seen so far. ”
Percy stood right next to me and said when he was here.
Yoohyun was judging her the same way.
But I never noticed there was a shield in front of me.
I thought you were a master.
“Are you ready for Rich? ”
“No problem.”
Percy said with a proud face. Looking at the other side of the shield with cold glowing eyes. Seeing it, Yoohyun felt a chill.
I can't judge what kind of man this woman really is.
She is now sharp as a well-trained blade that has come all the way here and has shed a ferocious atmosphere. Seen for days seems like a lie.
· · · I wish I could just show this to you as usual.
"We're going to have trouble tomorrow, so let's go to bed."
Percy vanishes while yawning, whether he's asleep or not.
However, Yoohyun imagined the battle would remain in place for a few days.
Honestly, the fight against Richie was still too much for the group.
If there was a battle with Richie, Yoohyun would stay away with the group as it is.
The battle of the wizards of the master class affects within a few hundred meters.
It was when I was thinking about how a fight between two beings would affect the group.
“There, there, there. I want to talk to you a little bit. ”
Langshashen appeared on the side of the camp and spoke to me. Carefully look around and notice who is looking for someone. Yoohyun seemed to know who she was looking for.
As she came all the way here, she showed herself avoiding Percy.
“Percy went to bed. You seem to be asleep early, too. Maybe by now, someone would have fallen asleep deep enough that they didn't know. ”
“· · · Is that so? ”
She walks and stands beside him with a relieved face.
She opens her mouth as she peeks her lips and looks at the floor as if she is thinking of something.
“I think Yoohyun is already noticing, but I have something to tell you about Percy. ”
“You want to tell me what you saw at the inn through Future City? ”
“Yes. If it's an important story, I promised Yoohyun I wouldn't hide it. ”
The moment she makes a subtle smile, the night wind shakes her hair.
She said, clearing her wiggling hair with her hands a little.
“The future doesn't exist for Percy. ”
“What does that mean? Are you implying her death? ”
Lancashen shakes his head.
“No, literally. My future poet couldn't see anything from her. All I saw was dark black. In my experience, there was only one such case. ”
“Once? ”
“Yes, when I saw the Undead. It was the same as the one I saw from the undead that attacked me on the way back from hunting the Red Child. There is no future for the dead. ”
The future belongs to the living. Undead are monsters of the past.
Understanding her words is not that difficult.
But even if you understand it, it's true.
· · · Somehow Yoohyun thought it was a terrible story.
If you deduce the situation from her words, Percy could be underdressed.
'No way.'
Yoohyun shook his head. Percy is not an undead.
“But she's not undead. There's no way I wouldn't know if it was Undead. ”
“· · Yes. I'm feeling weird because I'm thinking the same thing. So I thought about what to say because I thought it would confuse me, but I think Yoohyun still needs to know, so I'm only saying it now. ”
“Maybe the future has special abilities that don't work. ”
Even so, I didn't have the ability to rise in Yoohyun's head.
Yoohyun's unknown abilities exist in this world.
But is there the ability to block the future?
*
As the day dawned, Yoohyun led the group to the front of the shield.
“If you go forward, you will enter the shield. Are you ready?”
Now he's in his own shoes, Percy. In the meantime, he said with his invisible wand out. When she lifts her staff and hits the air, she sees the space shake.
“· · · That's amazing. You've already figured out the structure of the shield? ”
Lute, looking at it, said without hiding his admiration.
The shield is twisted even with a light twist. That was the sound that she had already discovered the loophole in the shield. It hasn't been a whole day since I found this shield.
That ability is real.
Percy shrugs at Lute and looks at Yoohyun.
In her urge to make a decision, Yoohyun stares into the shield.
Nothing has changed much from the last time I came here. The wooded jungle is still waiting.
Thinking about the bad air I felt then, Yoohyun asked.
“Do you even know what power this shield has? ”
“· · · Hmm. You mean that? I'm not sure I got it all, either. ”
Percy got caught up in his thoughts for a while.
“Perhaps there are two key capabilities to this shield. Absorbing the magical power of creatures within the shield and getting lost in the jungle. He's pretty harsh. It's a muddy place. ”
· · · as well. Is that what it was?
The sensation I felt at the time was not at all wrong.
Evidence that the bodies of the creatures that were seen in the shield died slowly due to the shield.
On the outside, the vibrant jungle was actually the same as the Swamp of Death.
If you fall into this once, you cannot come out until you die.
... if it's the case in general. But now I have an excellent wizard.
“Is there a way out? ”
“Of course. I've already made a hole in the shield. You saw the space just shaken, right? ”
Shaking a staff meant so much to me.
“Right."
Then you don't have to think about it anymore. As I turn my head, I see the face of a group that is a little nervous. If you think about what you suffered last time, your teeth will tremble quite a bit. Yoohyun touched the group.
· · · Enter.
Yoohyun took the lead first. Followed by Percy, the distance of the rifle was followed by a step.
As I entered the shield, I felt a clear change in the feel of the air.
It is unpleasant to stick sticky like old oil to the skin.
As soon as he entered, he found footprints all over the place.
It's from the Investigation Squad.
From the traces, it was relatively recent.
In fact, Yoohyun felt that his face was relieved.
“There are still survivors. ”
About a day ago. A trace about a day and a half later.
They did not escape even though they came to the frontier immediately.
When I saw this, I felt the fear of the shield once again.
If a healthy person tries to get out of the jungle, he blinds his eyes.
Traces that cannot be passed on with a smile because I experienced it myself once.
Yoohyun decided to go after them before the trace owners moved away.

I've been writing at the hospital for the last few days. My parents are hospitalized, so I'm sharing a room with them. I'm really glad I didn't cover the place because I'm a writer.
