The Live

I don't know how out of it I am.

No, I must have blacked out.

While unconscious, the poison that spread in the body constantly harassed Yoon Jae. The terrible pain was still felt clear, leaving the consciousness or not.

But it also gradually improved over time. Fortunately, the poison didn't reach the heart.

“…? ”

It was a normal voice.

I was also blindfolded, but I began to hear my voice as I slowly regained my strength.

Yoon Jae slowly opened his eyes.

“Hey, are you sober now? ”

“…… how long has it been? ”

“Yes?”

“How long have I been out? ”

Yoon Jae, who was lying on the floor, grunted and raised his upper body.

My body wasn't as damaged as I thought. This was enough to hold my body.

I was still lightheaded and dizzy. Otherwise, the clock reel was overpowered and poisoned.

Normally, he replied with a look at Yoon Jae waving his sticky head.

“I'm not sure how long it's been out here...... but it feels like it's been two days. ”

“Two days?"

Yoon Jae was surprised at the normal answer.

I was wondering how long it's been, what, two days?

I thought you were losing your mind.

‘It's been longer than I thought. ’

Yoon Jae took a breath for a moment.

I was still breathless when I was lying unconscious for two days. It seemed that his body wasn't completely improved.

He just regained consciousness, that's all.

I closed my eyes and looked at the condition, so I knew for sure.

‘The poison is still not completely gone. ’

The poison that had been cut into the Devil's fingernails and seeped through the wound still remained in the body.

Of course, the amount was not much. It wasn't even fatal. That's how I came to my senses.

It was impossible without immunity that the poison was disappearing without any other antidote.

‘Glad to hear it's being deciphered. ’

I didn't run without a plan.

The reason I thought that I would have some immunity to the devil's poison was because of ‘Margie’, which is located in Yoon Jae's body.

A source of power used by demons.

Like the magical power humans use, they have Margie at the foundation of their power.

And in Yoon Jae's body, Magi was in place with her magical power.

I thought it would be somewhat immune to the demon's poison. It was a risky gamble, but fortunately it was a successful one.

“How are you feeling? Are you okay now?”

“…… not yet. Just in case, let's wait a little longer. ”

Yoon Jae closed her eyes and lifted her magic.

And I began to rotate around every corner of my body.

You magically wash away the remains of the poison that is spreading through your body. After repeating the process for a few hours, most of the poison that was left in the body was removed.

Glug-ug-

As I got better, I became hungry late. Yoon Jae hurriedly pulled the amount out of the food bag.

“Do you want some? ”

“I ate a lot in my brother's sleep. ”

“In my pocket? ”

“Yes.”

“...... I picked this jerky and ate it. ”

Yoon Jae chewed the amount of jerky in his mouth.

After slowly finishing eating, Yoon Jae got up from his seat. When I was a little full, I felt like I had no strength before.

“You're already moving? ”

After finishing his meal, he asked, watching Yoon Jae wake up from his seat.

“There were no special injuries. Once the poison is fully decoded, the body should be fine. ”

Yoon Jae glanced at his shoulders.

It was my first injured left shoulder.

The broken shoulder was completely free to move over time.

The regular looked at Yoon Jae, worried for a moment, and shaken his head.

I could tell from my experience that Yoon Jae wouldn't stop here if I tried to stop him.

Yoon Jae walked to the other side of the giant cavity. There was a door.

Likewise, it was painted the same black door.

Regular people asked, looking at the only door that came out.

“Is this the last place? ”

Inside, please, there was a breeze that I wished was over.

Yoon Jae nodded and replied with the same wind.

“The end. No, the end. ”

Purple and red and black.

This was the maze in the diary. If there is another fork in the road after this, there was no way to know Yoon Jae next.

‘After that, it must be……. ’

Yoon Jae grabbed the doorknob.

Unlike other doors, a small door is about three meters small.

Yoon Jae opened up without hesitation.

Gain -

* * *

“ ……. ”

Yoon Jae and the regular, who entered through the door, didn't say anything for a while.

I wasn't speechless. I was so excited that I didn't know what to say.

Should I say spectacular? Or should I say mysterious?

Or should I say terrible?

None of the words matched.

The first one was a regular opener.

“Is this... really underground? ”

The canonical gaze that he asked was towards the top of the dungeon.

This was an underground dungeon. No matter how wide the dungeon is, it is located in the basement of Karan.

But now, instead of the ceiling, the sky is stretched out tightly with stars above their heads.

“... You're probably right. ”

Yoon Jae stared at the sky for a moment and moved his gaze to another place.

A vast plain that matches the starry sky.

Plains flowing with sleepy rivers were even more beautiful mixed with the night sky.

And there was another, incredible sight.

“What the hell is that? Is it the number of worlds?”

Regular refers to a large tree that looks directly in front of it.

A tree that rises as high as the sky.

It seemed to be dying all black.

The reason Yoon Jae came here was because the tree seemed to be tens or almost 100 meters.

“Let's go.”

“Yes? Where? ”

Normally, he chased after Yoon Jae who was beginning to walk.

Yoon Jae walked towards the giant tree. It was so big that I had to walk longer than I could see to get to the tree.

The closer the distance, the bigger the tree looks. When I looked closely, I could feel the word "world number" as a joke.

“…… Is it a real world number? ”

“What number of worlds. ”

Yoon Jae said it was unpleasant because of the normal mumbling.

“This tree is not so sacred. ”

“Well, I guess so. ”

Regular reminded me of what I saw and experienced right after I entered Karan's Labyrinth.

Magi's Contaminated Monsters, a fog that creates hallucinations.

And above all, the devil, guarding the final gate.

Thinking about them, it didn't make sense that this tree at the end of the dungeon was the holy number of worlds.

“So what the hell is this? ”

“Scarecrow.”

“Scarecrow?”

“A tree that cultivates the seed of evil. ”

I did not fully understand the meaning of the reply as soon as I was regular.

The content was too great to say so easily.

“Well, what do you grow? ”

“Look at this. ”

Yoon Jae points at the pillar of a giant tree by hand.

Regular people stared at the pillars, wanting to say something. Then, unlike the first time I saw it, I saw the identity of the tree.

“This… is……. ”

Gulp -

He asked with a voice that he did not believe, even though he saw the norm.

“Seeds..."? ”

“Can't you believe it? ”

The surface of the serpent's neck is all sticky and sticky.

And it looked pretty familiar. It was a dark, round, demonic seed.

This whole giant pharynx was made up of the devil's seed.

Regular faces turned white and frowned backwards.

“How……………. ”

This huge tree is surrounded by seeds the size of nails. The tree itself is like a giant bunch of seeds, not spreading on a branch like a fruit.

I didn't even know how many seeds to count.

Hundreds, tens of millions?

Hundreds of millions?

Several of them seemed believable. It wasn't just normal for my face to turn white.

‘That's terrible.’

I already know, and I'm ready.

This is where the Devil's Seed grows.

[The Murder Clan was hiding in Garaan, the Devil's Seed Cultivator. It was a tree that had long been known to disappear from the human world.

We didn't know if Murder Clan had planted it in the dungeon or if they had found the dungeon where the devil was growing and hid the place.

But one thing was certain was that the existence of the devil tree must disappear.]

“When all this hatches... what will happen to the world?" ”

The regular head shakes as if it were terrifying just by imagining.

However, unlike his concerns, Yoon Jae replied gracefully.

“None of this is going to hatch. ”

“Yes? Why? ”

“The Devil's Seed needs to be parasitic in order to hatch. Not all of this can hatch as evil unless someone deliberately sows the seeds. ”

If many of these seeds hatched into demons, the Murder Clan would not have planted them.

“But it looks too dangerous to let this go, so what do we do? ”

“I don't know.”

Yoon Jae answered without hesitation as if he was asking for something so natural.

“We must destroy it.”

Scarecrow.

A tree that cultivates the seed of evil.

Yoon Jae came here to get rid of the devil's tree.

Before all these seeds are sown in the world.

This is why Murder sought to come to Karan in the war against the Clans.

“Break it? This? ”

Regular expressions shivered.

“... I don't think it's going to be easy. ”

It was so hard to break a tree standing still, but it wasn't an easy task because it was so big.

“I think we need more people. It's gonna be hard for the two of us. ”

“Well, but……. ”

Jubbuck-

Yoon Jae slowly approached the devil's tree, saying.

“One thing I want to check out. ”

“Yes? What is it? ”

Yoon Jae did not answer the regular question.

Instead, I stopped right in front of the devil's neck and looked up at it.

The devil's tree was frightened just by looking at it. It was creepy to think that the host of demons was still breathing among these many seeds.

‘I'm not sure……. ’

Yoon Jae slightly moistened her dry lips.

I was breathless as if my heart was exploding. More nervous than ever, Yoon Jae reached out to the devil's neck.

Tuk-

Ooh, ooh, ooh-

At the same time, your right hand begins to tremble.

Woong. Woong.

The tremors got worse and worse. Zahar's shackles began to react as he came into contact with the devil's wood.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Along with him, Margie was sucked out of the devil's neck and flowed into chains through Yoon Jae's hands.

When the prediction was right, Yoon Jae's eyes flashed.

‘Be.’

You first stumbled upon Zahar's chains absorbing him from the Devil's Seed.

And you can see from your struggle with the walker Elvin that you can use that marker to substitute a little bit of magic.

The problem is that there is no way to grow Margie to stop at 1 stat.

Unlike other stats, including magical power, Margie had no way of raising it in any way, such as hunting or fighting.

The only way to do that is to absorb Margie through the shackles like before.

There was a chance.

A tree that cultivates the Devil's Seed.

Scarecrow.

If there are hundreds of millions of seeds growing in the Devil's Tree, Margie might be able to suck them up in bulk.

And that prediction was confirmed to be true at this moment.

Squawk, Sh-

Shoot-

Magi, a purple magpie from the devil's neck, infiltrated into his wrist.

Your wrist aches. Unlike when Margaery was absorbed from one of the Devil's Seeds, the amount was not easily coped with.

[Margie has increased by 1.]

[Margie…….]

[…….]

I kept getting alarms in my head.

Once a certain amount of Margaery has infiltrated, the stats increase by one. The rate at which stats rose gradually slowed, but Margie herself was drawn in at an enormous rate.

‘My hand……. ’

My hands are going to burst.

Margie, who was sucked in through the shackles, slowly settled into her body.

In the process, Margie inevitably encountered magical power. Margie's path was right next to the magical circuit.

The pain spread through my body as if it was burning. As Margaery settled in, the conflict seemed inevitable.

“Ugh… ugh… ”

Despite enduring the pain, Yoon Jae did not drop his hand on the devil's neck.

She shrugged her shoulders, her legs twitching, and Yoon Jae touched the devil's neck.

Yoon Jae, who had absorbed Margie to her limit, quickly dropped his hands.

“Ahhh-”

Yoon Jae sat down as if he had fallen on the spot.

Regular approached with a worried face and asked.

“What, what are you doing, now? ”

“Phew... Don't... come any closer... Stay away." ”

Yoon Jae picked a tiring breath.

Pretending doesn't look too good. His face was covered in cold sweat and his rough breathing was not easily recovered.

It was Yoon Jae who was unconscious until a few hours ago. Moreover, since the poison had only been detoxified recently, my body couldn't have been in good shape.

“Isn't that too much? ”

“It's okay. If I rest a little.... ”

“You seem to be pushing yourself too hard. ”

“... Does it look like that? ”

Yoon Jae smiled as she asked.

The Regular stopped stopping him.

Thinking about it, Yoon Jae always did.

Instead of avoiding a dangerous situation, he confronts the situation head-on.

It was the same this time. It was no different.

Yoon Jae took a few more breaths and barely got up from where he was sitting. Then he reached out again and put it on the devil's neck.

Regular looked at him and bowed his head and closed his eyes.

Please, just hope Yoon Jae isn't too bad.
