“I have something to check. “I will check right away and come out.”
“Then I will go and check.”
“If Kwak Jeong-han wants to check, he has to go down to the depths of the sea floor, but since he doesn’t know what’s there, it could be dangerous for Kwak Jeong-han too. I’m just going to secure the view, so let’s go together. I’m just going to check what’s there. I know it’s dangerous. “I’m asking you because it’s Jeonghan.”
Kwak Jeong-han’s five senses were different from ordinary people. He could clearly see and distinguish things that were a hundred meters away, and he recognized sounds and signs more keenly than anyone else. Therefore, in order to confirm, Kwak Jeong-han also had to be present.
Finally, after a long sigh, Kwak Jeong-han accepted Se-hyeon’s insistence.
“… “Please don’t leave my body.”
Se-hyeon put the bow behind her shoulder and tightly hugged Kwak Jeong-han’s neck as he spread his arms. He left Lee Jae-young whimpering behind him and plunged his feet into the water filled with monster corpses.
As soon as Sehyeon took a deep breath, the two people disappeared as if they were being sucked into the water.
[Sehyun, where should I go?]
Sehyun opened her tightly closed eyes as the words rang in her ears. When I took out the flashstone and turned it on, I could vaguely see the water. Most of the monsters in the water were busy eating the bodies of their dead compatriots. Walking through blood-blurred vision, Se-hyeon pointed the way to Kwak Jeong-han with his fingers.
And as soon as he saw something sparkling, he stopped Kwak Jeong-han. The intermittently twinkling light became more dull than at first. Sehyun, who was looking at the light shaking like a dying ember, immediately took out the bow slung over his shoulder and grabbed it.
Then, Kwak Jeong-han, who was tearing apart the charging monster with his claws, hooked his arm around his elbow and pulled the bowstring strongly.
‘<Purification’s Fall LV.8>’
As soon as the brilliant light rested on the arrowhead, the arrow flew toward the shimmering light as if it had been shot. Even in the water, the power of the arrow did not decrease. Sehyun pulled another arrow for a moment to look among the monsters moving after the light.
And when the arrow hit an unknown place, Sehyeon saw a shape through the brilliant light. It wasn’t clear, but the expected shape was there. Kwak Jeong-han also stiffened his shoulders as if he had seen him.
Se-hyeon tapped Kwak Jeong-han on the shoulder twice to indicate that it was okay. The two people’s bodies cut through the water again and rose at high speed. And as soon as he rose to the surface, Sehyeon started breathing heavily.
Sigh-
“Knock, call!”
“Is that what Sehyun is looking for?”
“What was it… Ha, did you see it?”
If Sehyeon was not mistaken, there was something buried in the ground, as if it had been crushed. A pure white statue of a goddess, with only her face barely visible, as if crying for her life.
“… It had the face of a goddess. “She appeared to be buried in the ground.”
“Yes, call… “I saw it that way too.”
If Kwak Jeong-han said this, it had to be considered accurate. The problem was how to approach the goddess buried in the ground.
“Mr. Aul, can you approach the place where the statue of the goddess is visible over there?”
[Grog.]
“Did you find out something?”
Starting with Ri-jeong, everyone kept their balance on Owl’s shaking back and looked back at Se-hyeon. As soon as Se-hyeon came up behind him, Owl quickly headed towards the moth-ridden statue of the goddess.
“I think I have found my goddess self. The problem is buried so deep and a polluted goddess is trampling on it, so there are many variables. So from now on, I will contact that polluted goddess first.”
“I guess we should check the contaminated goddess’s behavior first.”
“Yes, Tyra, please prepare the ‘Faith’ skill with Kwak Jeong-han. “We will split the water with a tsunami and head directly down.”
I felt their gazes hardening. However, those eyes all seemed prepared for the end. Se-hyeon stroked the wet hair of Jae-young Lee, who was close to her, and spoke again.
“Baek Do-hyun, considering the situation, you need to contact the goddess’s self, so from now on, let’s not participate in battle and conserve our strength. “It will be the last battle.”
The sky was already turning pitch black as the sun set. If things go on like this for a little while, darkness will come where you won’t be able to see an inch ahead like yesterday. Everything had to be resolved before that could happen.
“Mr. Sehyun. “I have something to say to everyone first.”
It was at that time that Kwak Jeong-han took a step forward with a heavy expression. A lot of strength went into not only Aul’s back but also Numan’s body, which was lying with its arms crossed.
“Please speak.”
“… sorry. The reason we were able to come here is because we exhausted all your opportunities to leave. We are sorry for wasting that opportunity without your consent. That’s why I thought I should let you know, and I wanted to tell you properly and apologize.”
“What exactly is that opportunity?”
“From what I heard from Mr. Billwill, if you fail to persuade the goddess, this is the only way to get out of here.”
“Then what about when you succeed? “Are you saying you can’t go out then?”
“At that time, it was said that we could come out following the goddess’ handover.”
“Anyway, if you succeed, you can get out.”
Everyone nodded with various expressions at Sehyun’s words. Even if you can get out of here, if you fail to persuade the goddess, you will end up facing another worst situation. No, it could be said that it is the worst situation.
Even if that wasn’t the case, Sehyun had no intention of failing here in the first place.
“Mr. Jeonghan. Because you came, I am where I am today, and Mr. Fenn is alive. Just think about that for now. “Let’s go out and talk about the rest.”
Sehyeon spoke while looking at the goddess who was getting closer. She didn’t forget to take the large amount of potions she had already taken out of her inventory and pour them into her mouth one by one.
The goddess’s tightly shut mouth slowly opened. The sound of the siren’s song, captivating the boatman, began to cover the open sea once again. The strange melody brought about an eerie feeling.
The song hovering over the sea slowed my mind. I don’t know if they’re singing for this or not. What was clear was the tragedy that would follow the song.
As expected, when the song stopped, a flash of light appeared in the goddess’s mouth. Everyone knew what it was.
“I will go!!”
The person blocking the group’s path was Theo, whose veins were clearly visible on his bulging muscles. Sehyun also casted a skill accordingly.
[‘Allies’ cast the wide area buff ‘Depth of Grace LV.9’.]
[Casts the ‘ally’ wide area buff ‘Depth of Trust LV.7’.]
[‘Allies’ cast the wide-area buff ‘Solidarity LV.2’.]
Theo’s cracked voice shouting <Iron Fortress> split the air, and a huge iron wall like a mountain appeared in front of everyone. The flash of light that shot out from the goddess’ mouth collided with Theo’s iron wall with fierce force.
Theo’s face heated up as he gritted his teeth. His feet, which he blocked with all his might, were pushed back little by little. Behind Theo, Kwak Jeong-han, Hume, and Numan also pushed together with their strength.
“Mr. Aul, hold on!”
[Grog!]
Owl’s body, which had been pushed back, began to move forward, albeit slightly. Meanwhile, Theo did his best to deflect the goddess’s attack to the side, barely escaping his first crisis.
“Here comes one more! “Kwak Jeong-han and Tyra, get ready!”
“yes.”
“I’m going up, so give me a signal when it’s time.”
Tyra spread her huge wings and leaped towards the sky on the spot. As Tyra’s form, soaring at great speed, faded into a dot, a second flash of light burst from the mouth of her goddess.
“Frog, you! Avoid it if you can!”
Owl’s body quickly moved to the side at Theo’s urgent cry. The light that cut through the water barely passed Owl’s body and spread out behind the empty sea. The boiling air was enough to burn my skin.
“Mr. Kwak Jeong-han.”

Kwak Jeong-han, who was lowering his body, launched himself onto the sea without hesitation as soon as Se-hyeon’s signal was given. His extremely large fin fiercely cut through the water and quickly headed towards the goddess.
Sehyeon put the flute around his neck in his mouth and sent a signal to Tyra.
Bleep-
Tyra drew a circle in the sky and quickly moved towards the goddess, matching Kwak Jeong-han’s speed. From now on, she had no choice but to trust them completely.
This was something that two people could do together.
It was such an urgent time that I couldn’t even breathe. Everyone was exhausted and drank potions one after another, pushing their bodies to their limits. Everyone ran fiercely, risking their lives, toward a vague outcome that may or may not be achieved.
As the shape of the goddess became clearer, the sea became rougher. The goddess screamed incessantly, and her screams viciously tore through the waves.
“Huh, oh oh… . Damn, I need to shut that mouth of a goddess or a demon. Why do you keep shooting? How are you? Me, me! Get out of the way! “There are snake heads sticking out in front of you!”
Behind the loud voice, Numan desperately stepped on Oul’s head and jumped into the black water. His back looked like he could have died. Soon, dozens of lightning bolts appeared in the sea where Numan jumped into.
“Mr. Fen! Is that newly acquired skill possible now?! “The goddess will strike again!”
“It’s possible!”
Sehyeon looked at the devil wearing the mask of a goddess and shouted at Fan. Sehyeon was so tired from the cold that there was no trace of blood on his face. Not only Sehyeon, but also the faces of everyone standing in the rain turned white. The cold, fatigue, and tension were eating away at everyone.
