Regress and Eat

In the red forest, the cold flesh spread.

Whenever the wind blows, his hair sweeps away the face of the wide-eyed ring.

The pool of dead blood between the red bushes is all red, so it is not very distinguishable.

The Mana Core in their hearts disappeared without a trace.

Check the time with the handset. Soon it will dawn in Seoul.

‘I have to go back. But first · · ·. ’

Before they could get to you, they had the option to quickly exit the gate and close the door, but I deliberately waited in their path.

Reason?

First of all, it's a low chance, but if they have a comeback stone, it's a horror trap.

One more thing.

When I saw the message that someone had entered the dungeon, I knew that one of them had already been intercepted.

He is suspicious because he has read testimony that the guild members have not allowed him to explore without confidence to steal the byproducts.

Cough, cough, cough!

I remove the mask slime and cover the face of the ring.

I waited a while, then got the shape and wrote it back on my face.

After feeling a bad rattle, my face completely changed to the same as the limbic system.

Next, we'll take possessions and artifacts to prove his identity.

That was the moment I was going to finish preparing and take a step.

It feels soft on my wrist.

“Huh? Oh, right. ”

The five snakes that had made the bracelets tangled together were unraveling themselves first.

I feel a movement that yearns for something.

The Auto-Hill that just triggered healed a deep cut on my thigh, and they must be hungry with their strength.

Look at the bracelet.

[Five Snake Bracelets]

Item Description: A bracelet made of 5 bio-golems modified 'Epineph Blacksnake’. Throjan's young genius has succeeded in cataloguing the unique ‘power of the cycle’ of the species. Blacksnakes are hard to tame, but they are said to be loyal to their owners once successful. Golems who inherit that trait will return some of the flesh and blood they have eaten to their owners, and will use it to replenish your lost blood and create new flesh.

Use caution if you are starving beyond the limit.

If you treat a wound like that, you have to eat again, right? ’

I could see why there were no hunters left with this bracelet in the past.

Whether they remember the fact that they fed me properly the last time, they were signing for food instead of ripping off my wrist, just like they did to the previous owners.

I watched the movement and turned my gaze toward the corpse lying flat on the ground.

Shhh!

When Mana is blown with a sign of permission, the snakes that had shrunk into bracelets are blown away. The head and front are about the same size as the Earth's Anaconda and the tail is still dry on my wrist.

“Shhh! Shhh! ”

Five black snakes crawl slowly through the grass.

But this time, they didn't come close to the prey.

I quickly realized why and frowned.

“Hey, is it a competition? ”

I don't think we had a problem sharing our invaders on the way to the black market, but this time it's only four.

It doesn't seem to fit in this amount.

“Shhh! Shhh! ”

“Shhh! Shhh! Shhh! ”

Hypothetically, they opened their mouths like a war of nerves, revealing their teeth and threatening each other. They didn't actually attack.

“Shhh!”

The battle broke out quickly. When I looked closely at the five snakes, they looked a little different. The smallest of them swirled back towards me, flapping their tongues as if the grass had died. As I approached, I gradually decreased my body and eventually returned to my original bracelet shape.

“Are you out? ”

I get a bitter smile.

So the loser pathetically retreated, and the remaining snakes crawled on the bush, dividing by four to see if they each had one prey.

But · · ·.

“Are you all right?”

Recap the message you saw earlier.

[Lorto's Dagger]

Item Description: · · · · · · · Just touch to ‘paralyze' the prey.

· · · · · · Poisoned prey should be stored at room temperature for at least '2 hours to detoxify’ before consumption.

The poison must have seeped in the process, whether they were all poisoned or died in one shot.

Do snakes become paralyzed if you eat them?

Even if it is, it works for about two hours anyway, so I'll just let it go.

Then they begin to eat the corpse.

Grrrgh! Grrrgh!

By the way.

The paralytic poison must have worked on living golems as well.

Shortly after the meal was complete, there were four snakes that were half-paralyzed and motionless on the floor.

· · · Come back. ”

You inject Mana and force it back into its bracelet shape.

If this is the case, is the one who starved himself a winner?

No, as the item says, paralysis will resolve eventually, so it probably doesn't matter.

Anyway, the snakes must have fed them. I headed straight for the other side of the dungeon.

[Accelerate!]

Across the forest, you see the gate I entered.

‘Before leaving · · · ·. ’

Hold the sword of the scroll in your hand, concentrate your mind, and keep the eyes of the successor in a state where everything can be seen.

You pierce the tent of light, which protrudes with tension.

A similar phenomenon struck me as when I came in.

Darkness and dazzling light alternately cover the body and pass through the tunnel of unrealism.

And finally, my senses returned to normal.

Weeing!

Earth's atmosphere. Familiar texture envelops skin.

The cold air of the dawn.

An Optimus guild member stands outside the gate.

I'm surprised to see me with the face of the gye Yong-hwan on my back.

“Oh, brother! ”

There are five entries, so at least five of them must have been brought in.

The remaining one, except for the four entered.

I look around with a sharp, light sensation. I asked for help, but he's not here yet, and he's around.

“How did the dungeon suddenly get cleared? ”

He looks like he doesn't know the original English.

You must have seen the message change around the clock out there.

The status changes to Clear, and then the current entry is reduced from five to one.

That content must have been shared with other guild members.

“Are the rest gone? What the hell is going on in there?! ”

Shhh!

I did not hesitate to cut him down with the sword of the scabbard.

Fluffy!

Immediately, he collapses.

Approach a bleeding corpse and use a skill.

[Fluoroscopy (Rank: E)!]

I can clearly see the substrate structure inside the handset on his wrist.

A handset worn by Hunters also serves as a black box. Now that you're here to explore the dungeon, the recording and recording capabilities should be working.

I put mana on my feet and I squeezed his wrist.

Qajik!

The terminal is shattered.

Imaging and speech recognition devices were confirmed to be completely crushed.

But in the meantime, I haven't forgotten to precisely control Mana so that storage as large as a lump of dust is protected without damage.

Now, those who confirm this handset will see the scene of killing the guild member who was waiting to come out alone for some reason.

A dungeon that was suddenly cleared, the one who came back alone.

Even attempts to extinguish evidence.

I can almost imagine what they're up to.

‘In a dungeon that has been cleared in an unknown way, the casualty received a lottery level reward that is not suitable for a Class F dungeon. Instead of sharing it with the guild members, they disappeared by themselves. ’

In my past life, there is a reason why we were not only caught for the international search.

because his surrendered parents were behind the crisis.

He is the youngest son who has given up his life because of his wretchedness, but his kindness has not been erased, and his parents fled to a foreign country when he came to explain his situation.

They had the power to hide like a man without being seen.

I did this on purpose because I was aware of them.

‘The story is that the youngest son, who resigned as a parent, accidentally hides from himself and becomes a dungeon Mia because of an unknown hunter. ’

The remaining guild members or their parents will try to find traces of the dyke instead of wandering around looking for third parties who may have been here.

Or maybe you just keep turning your back on him like you've turned your back on him.

In preparation for either, his possessions in my hands will produce evidence that the casualty is still alive in a foreign country.

‘I have to hurry.'

The other members of the Optimus Guild will be here soon. I didn't intend to fight again.

I hold the key to the dungeon on my shoulders in both hands.

There are still a few months until the dungeon collapses in its previous lifetime, but it may have had an effect on my clearance. We cannot be certain that it will collapse only after exactly the same time as the past.

Weeing!

Focusing on Mana in both hands, the key to a dungeon that was shaped like an interstellar vessel glows blue.

Twelve crystals that used to be handles are radiant, arranged at 360 degrees along a ridge-like fabric. Each of the crystals sent Mana rays towards the point corresponding to the center of the circle. Twelve blue rays meet in the concentric circle, crossing the inside of the empty circle.

Whoo-hoo!

Then a clear cylinder of light rose horizontally from the concentric circle toward my front.

Ready when you are.

‘This is the first time I've closed it. It's a natural story.'

I pushed the dungeon key forward and wedged it towards the gate. The beam of light that extends to the front burrows through the surface.

When I closed the dungeon, it was counter-clockwise. ’

The sailor slowly turns the crystal with both hands, as if turning the key.

Glug! Glug!

The twelve radiant crystals, driven by my power, slowly turn to the left.

Let's do it.

Whoo-hoo!

A swirling symbol appeared on the surface of the gate along the direction of rotation.

Not just a gate, I felt a swirling sensation of all the surrounding space and Mana's flow swirling in the same direction, along the rotation of the key.

It was the same as when I watched.

‘Yes, it felt like this. It's been too long.'

It's spinning.

I'm going back.

Early morning air filled with moisture, cloudy skies, rare starlight wanting to fade away, the sound of my breath, the wind tickling my cheeks, the raging flow of Mana around me, the dimensional interface to the other world · · ·.

All the way back, along the direction of the key's rotation. Spinning.

After turning it with my own hands, the key continues to turn in one direction as if it had been powered on its own. Even the gate surface vortex speeds up the rotation.

In fact, even though the materials around me are holding their position firmly and steadily, I feel as if the gate is sucking something in.

How long has it been going on?

‘Reduce size! ’

The serpentine gate surface shrinks.

As you rotate, the volume gradually decreases, and the bright glow covers the spot, which is eaten by the bluish darkness of the dawn.

That's how you shrink and then eventually get to the same size as the key in the dungeon.

Good boy! Good boy!

Brace yourselves!

Like a fluffy petal, the 12 crystals encircling the circle fold in turn.

The photon that made the perfect prototype disappeared like it was being sucked into something in an instant.

That was it.

‘It's closed.'

Nothing looks like a lie in the position where the gate was open.

‘The gate is gone. ’

Excitement and achievement drive me up.

There will be no more disasters in the province.

The moment I felt so proud.

Tiring!

The handset rang without a second thought.

At this early hour? ’

Well, no matter how long it takes, I can almost guess who it is.

Turn your eyes to your wrist and read the message on the handset.

My eyes widened.
