Chapter 351
A green area full of bushes.
Two eggs, each taller than a person, were placed on top of a huge nest made of woven tree branches.
“Is that, Al?”
Lorelai looked around in amazement at the greenery and huge eggs that had suddenly spread out. However, the forest was quiet except for Shin Yooseong and Lorelei. The moment when I felt no sound or presence.
Rustle-
A brown-haired boy rose from a hidden part of the huge nest.
“Oh, I’m sorry. A challenger came while you were sleeping… … . Originally, it was time to hibernate… … .”
Shririk-
As the boy smiled sheepishly and flicked his snake’s tongue as if showing off, Lorelai prepared herself to deploy her powers at any time.
However, Shin Yu-seong, who can sense mana, did not keep the boy in check. Rather, the gigantic egg was the essence of this stage.
‘like… … It’s like a lump of condensed mana.’
Since the test’s opponent was in the form of an egg, Shin Yu-seong could not help but be curious.
What kind of being is born from an egg with such enormous mana? I have never seen any monster or monster with this much mana.
“Be careful, Lorelai. Rather, the main body that needs to be on guard is the one who knows.”
As Shin Yu-seong showed signs of nervousness and nervousness, the snake boy stuck out his flailing tongue and expressed his admiration.
“Oh, it hasn’t hatched yet, but are you feeling this guy’s mana? “You are truly amazing.”
The snake boy stroked the nest eggs as if they were treasures and began chattering.
“For your information, the challengers are lucky. “The rest of the guides are boring and stiff, and they are not friendly like me.”
But Lorelai didn’t match the snake boy’s pace. She asked with a solemn look on her face as she stretched out her hand, saying that she would fire a magical cannonball when she approached.
“So what is the star path that Lewis prepared, and whose egg is it?”
Lorelai was able to fire golden mana like a cannonball just by taking a ready stance.
Even without borrowing the power of Chronoa, the goddess of time, his combat power was at a significant level comparable to that of a level 6.
In the case of a snake boy who cannot feel any mana in his body, even a trace will disappear with a single wave of his hand.
“Hey, hey! Stop it! I have nothing to do with the exam! “Just a guide!”
“I will ask the question again. What is the star path, and what is the egg?”
Saaa-
With those words, golden waves began to rippling around Lorelai. Right now, it seems like a calm wave in a calm sea, but there was no telling when it would turn into an angry wave in a storm.
“Of course I’ll tell you! Because I am a guide! The bravest. Walk the path of the stars… … . Now, what is courage?”
When the snake boy asked a question with a bright smile, Lorelai frowned sharply.
Lorelei’s expression may have seemed cute, but the golden mana was not like that.
It was inflating its body as if it was going to pounce on the snake boy at any moment.
“roo! Lewis thought! Courage! It’s about facing your fears! Come on! “No matter how strong you are, everyone has at least one thing they are afraid of!”
The snake boy who said that laughed.
[The bravest one.]
[Walk on the path of the stars.]
The sentence carved into the ice cave was neither an ambiguous quiz nor a metaphor. The path of the stars was a path that only the bravest could pass through.
“For your information, no one has ever passed the Star Path. Even that silver-haired monster chose the path of the sun rather than the path of the stars. … … Do you know why?”
The snake boy drooled as he looked at Lorelai. Then she raised the corners of her mouth and laughed, her mouth splitting open.
“The stronger the better! Because the object of fear also becomes stronger! It’s a race where the farther you walk, the farther you get from the destination! “It’s like a swamp you can never get through!”
As the snake boy finished his explanation, the eggs in the nest slowly began to crack. The enormous mana contained in the egg was intended to conceive something, and was itself a spell to bring about disaster.
“I asked you what was in the egg earlier, right? I don’t know that either. Do you know what you’re afraid of? “Kyakyakya!”
Tsk-tsk-tsk-
Black fur could be seen from the increasingly widening gap.
“Oh- finally!”
The snake boy’s eyes flashed.
What a terrible form.
How strong was it?
grasp!
The shell surrounding the egg broke and the magic regained its true form. The word ‘fear’ was born using mana as nourishment.
“Eh?”
However, contrary to the snake boy’s expectations, what came out of the egg was just a rather large spider. Even though it was only large in size, it looked similar to an ordinary spider and did not appear to have any special abilities.
I looked here and there, but what appeared after cracking the egg was really just a large spider.
“… … Just a spider?”
Shin Yu-seong let out a bewildered laugh at the sight of the other person, who was so unsightly despite the grandiose explanation.
But Lorelai couldn’t do that. Lorelai was moving backwards, her body trembling like a frog before a snake.
“Ah, that spider… … spider… … .”
Lorelai, whose complexion was visibly pale, was muttering like an idiot. She broke down when the spider appeared.
“Spider… … .”
When Lorelai shook her head and took a step back, the snake boy finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then cheered for the spider and booed Lorelai for her skill.
“Of course it is! He acts so arrogantly as if it’s his world, and then he’s barely afraid of spiders!? “I knew it would work!”
Who decided that something to be feared had to be strong? For some people, the house spider they see in their home may be the most feared thing.
“Gee, gross… … There are many legs and eyes… … .”
The moment Lorelai panicked, the spider attacked. It was a spider so big that it dared to show its fangs to the hunter.
“Chwiik-!”
But Lorelai’s fear of spiders is just Lorelai’s fear.
chin-
Shin Yu-seong grabbed the head of the attacking spider with one hand. He grabbed the giant head as if it were too light, and with his other hand he used the spider’s antennae as a handle. At that moment, the spider sensed something was wrong, but it was already too late.

“This isn’t even at the level of a level 2 monster… … .”
Buuuk – Green bodily fluid splashing mercilessly towards the surroundings with the sound of cardboard being torn.
Tuk.
The spider’s body, which had been reduced to a rag, was discarded on the floor.
Lorelai, who was watching, trembled as if goosebumps appeared all over her body and turned away from the scene.
“Ha, ugh…” … .”
How afraid of spiders would you be on Lewis’s test? Shin Yu-sung looked down at Lorelai with worried eyes as she deftly tore off the spider.
“… … Lorelai?”
Lorelai then looked down at the spider lying on the floor. If the usual spider was creepy, the spider split in half had even more presence. Just looking at her makes me dizzy and my legs feel weak.
Limping!
In the end, when Lorelai, exhausted from fear, was unable to control herself and stumbled, Shin Yooseong supported her with his arms.
“are you okay? Lorelai!?”
Thanks to this, Lorelai was able to see Shin Yu-sung’s face from a close distance that she had never seen before.
It wasn’t a big deal, but when I added the unexpected physical contact, my mind, which had been stained with fear of spiders, turned completely white as if it had been erased with an eraser.
Nod!
As Lorelai, who closed her mouth, moved her head vigorously, Shin Yu-seong looked at the remaining eggs left in the nest.
Fortunately, Lorelai only ended up with the appearance of a spider that was worse than a level 2 monster, but if the snake boy’s explanation was true, she couldn’t let down her guard one bit.
‘Is it my turn to do the rest?’
Now Shin Yu-seong had no choice but to ask himself. Have you ever felt as scared of something as Lorelai? If not, what could she be afraid of?
However, no matter how hard I tried to think of it, Shin Yu-seong could hardly predict it. It was very difficult to ask myself questions.
‘Let’s change the question, if the object of fear is not fear… … If it’s strength… … .’
Who is the opponent you are most afraid to face and who you acknowledge as the strongest?
Damn it!
The moment someone’s face flashed in Shin Yu-seong’s mind, the egg began to crack.
The egg is nothing more than a form, and the test prepared by Lewis is nothing more than a magic trick.
Since it can never embody a being stronger than the mana contained in the egg, it is bound to deteriorate.
But still.
In an instant, the air became thicker.
Lorelai frowned at the intense fighting spirit that made it difficult to breathe, and Shin Yu-seong realized it too late.
‘i get it.’
Shin Yu-seong shuddered at the intense feeling of speculation that seemed to be scattered around him, but was refined and intimidating.
‘I… … A being recognized as the strongest… … .’
My concentration boiled to the limit due to the familiar yet nostalgic energy, and my entire body’s sense of touch was heightened.
The opponent’s appearance was revealed in a soft fog like a smoke screen. A rough beard and thick fists. The body, trained to human limits, exuded a sense of intimidation.
Shin Yu-seong’s prediction was correct.
The opponent is the person that Shin Yu-seong fears the most, the person who first taught Shin Yu-seong despair, and the person with the strongest power that Shin Yu-seong knows.
“Master… … .”
Shin Yu-seong increased his concentration.
The concentration brought up from deep within the body allowed one to predict the opponent’s next move.
“… … Lorelai. “From now on, let’s aim for survival.”
