Episode 85
He joined the surviving Yeongdo.
Of course, these guys were out of sorts. Wouldn’t this be what happens if you go around the garbage dump for three days and nights?
Instead of a bad smell, these guys’ bodies smelled like blood and sweat.
“… “Caron.”
“Were you here, Zeros?”
Zeros Silver.
This is the guy who used to stick around next to Charon.
Yeongdo was the core of Charon’s plan to secure points, selling foreign goods brought in arbitrarily to the Yeongdos.
“Where is Shinba?”
“I don’t know. Still, he wouldn’t have died. “Because he’s a tough guy.”
“is it.”
While the two were talking, Evan examined Charis’ wounds.
“… Evan?”
“okay. it’s me.”
“… It’s a damn hallucination. If you’re about to get lost, shouldn’t you see a stunningly beautiful woman? … .”
From what you’re saying, it’s not a fatal wound, but it’s dangerous if you leave it like that.
Evan also looked up at me as if he had realized that fact.
I nodded slightly and handed Shall the potion I had received.
“thank you.”
Hector was talking to one of the spirits.
Probably one of the nobles who belonged to Hector’s faction.
When I look at him, he comes over to me and introduces me.
“This is Eddie. “He is the legitimate son of the Fiscoll family.”
“I’ve heard a lot about it, Luan.”
“It’s okay if it’s Luan. “I would be grateful if you would stop using that rude politeness.”
At those words, Eddie looked at Hector.
And when he saw Hector nodding, he said:
“okay.”
“How about Seren?”
“I’m unconscious now.”
Two young people were taking care of Seren, who was drooping.
Hector said.
“You have such strong power, why didn’t you use it sooner?”
“well… “I think it may have been a blessing with conditions or a high risk.”
I looked around and opened my mouth.
“Shall we talk for a bit? “I don’t think it’s safe here either.”
“okay. “First of all, there is a place that our group has found, so let’s go there.”
We left the scene, taking the unconscious Seren and the injured Karis with us.
* * *
The shelter that Eddie Joe was said to have found was behind a large rock.
First of all, the terrain there had been dug up a bit for camouflage, and by covering it with bushes nearby, it was somewhat camouflaged.
There, Eddie Joe had a simple meal using the distributed food.
“Is there a lot to eat?”
“I invested a lot of points here.”
Yes, it was beef jerky and water, but in this situation, even these are precious.
“… Phew. “How did you survive?”
Eddie muttered with a sad expression.
Now that my stomach is full, I feel like I’m finally understanding the situation.
“Hector, how on earth did this happen?”
“We are also looking into it. One thing is certain, it is not the time to leisurely take exams.”
“… … .”
I intervened before the atmosphere got any heavier.
“How did you end up like that? “Seeing as there were 7 of us, it looks like they were together before the attack.”
“… that’s right. “The only one who joined along the way was Zeros over there, and there were originally 12 of us.”
“Three groups went together?”
This was not a normal situation.
Hector also seemed to be hearing this for the first time.
Eddie said with an expression of regret.
“I’m sorry, Hector. Still, since it was an order from the leader, I couldn’t help it… … .”
“Okay. Because I said from the beginning that we shouldn’t get involved in the special exam. What if you were a leader instead?”
Eddie’s gaze turned to the stunned Seren.
“Is it Seren Good Spring?”
“yes.”
“Why did you plan such a plan?”
“He said he knew a lot about Butterfly Forest. “There is a monster called [Queen Butterfly] in this forest, and she insisted that we must join forces to catch it.”
“Queen butterfly? Do butterflies have something like that? Like ants?”
“It’s a monster.”

I glanced at Hector and he explained it to me.
“I heard there is an entity like that somewhere in the forest. It is said that most butterflies in the forest are produced by queen butterflies. “The family said they knew it existed, but they didn’t know its exact habitat.”
“… That’s right. “It was absurd, but I heard from Hector that it was the truth, so I believed what Seren said.”
“You believed that and gathered three groups together?”
Eddie sighed.
“There are many youngdos who aimed to rebound in this special test. It’s true that I was skeptical of Seren’s words, but it’s still a good spring, right? It didn’t seem like he was talking nonsense at all. of course… “After that, a lot of strange things happened.”
“What if it’s something strange?”
“Before that, I have something to ask the two Badnikers. “This must be the first time Seren Goodspring has come to this forest, right?”
Hector nodded.
“Of course. If it weren’t for Ga Ho-sik, Good Spring’s bloodline would never have come to the family home. “When I talked to Luan about my marriage, we only exchanged words verbally.”
“But why is that?”
“It must have been Seren’s first time here, but it looked familiar.”
Other people agreed with that statement.
“He also knew a lot about the monsters that appear.”
“It was Seren who first discovered the stream.”
“And I also found a strange hidden altar.”
The last word especially caught my attention.
“altar?”
“There, he muttered something in a language he had never heard before and said that was enough. and… … .”
“What else?”
“… It was Seren who said that we should buy as much food as possible before starting the exam. However, I was secretly dissatisfied because it seemed so inefficient.”
“It’s a godsend in the current situation.”
As expected, Seren knew that this incident would explode.
By what means?
‘Did you overhear the plan?’
My gut told me that wouldn’t be the case.
And although this is an unfounded prediction… … .
I thought that the secret that Seren was hiding was in an area that couldn’t be reached through reasoning.
“… … .”
I asked Youngdo, the woman who was taking care of the fainted Seren.
“how is it?”
“My body feels like ice. please… … .”
It’s like a corpse.
I guess that’s roughly what I’m trying to say.
It’s a metaphor that’s often used in situations like this, but those who actually saw the corpse would now feel repulsed by the word itself.
I also saw Seren.
He used to have white skin, but now he’s almost pale.
“Let me see.”
I also gently grabbed Seren’s wrist.
I felt the cold as if I had dipped my hands in a winter stream.
‘The s*xual energy is running wild.’
Although it doesn’t seem very serious on the outside.
The condition is much more serious than that of Charis, who just lost a bowl of blood.
If left like this, Seren will die within a few hours.
I looked again to where Hector was.
It seemed like they were currently exchanging information with Eddie and Zeros.
“What are you going to do now? “We are heading to the retreat camp.”
“Is it a camp…?” … .”
Eddie smiled bitterly.
“I want to help, but… “Honestly, I don’t think it will help.”
“is it. Then I will tell you the location of our residence, so go there and join the spirits. “It would be advantageous to gather together.”
“All right.”
Charis said, looking at Evan.
“Evan, don’t overdo it either.”
“Take care of yourself.”
“I’m fine now. The potion drug was killing me. What should I do so I can join?”
I said to the guys who were about to leave.
“Can we take care of Seren?”
“huh?”
“I think I can cure it.”
It is fortunate that it was cold that destroyed Seren’s body.
I should be able to neutralize it to some extent with my firearm.
Seren will be a great force if you can heal her.
I know that better than anyone else, as I joined forces when fighting Hariba.
“okay. Because there’s nothing we can do anyway… … .”
“Please take care of me.”
“really. “You better keep this.”
Just before leaving, Eddie and his group handed us food and potions.
A few bags of beef jerky and a canteen.
And five bottles of potions.
“oh. “I’ll use it well.”
“be careful.”
Eddie and his group leave.
I told the guys around me.
“I’m going to focus for a moment, so please be alert to your surroundings.”
“How long will it take?”
“well… “At least 30 minutes, at most an hour?”
“i get it.”
Then I placed my hand on Seren’s forehead and closed my eyes.
A bitter cold penetrated my hands.
The purity was higher than I expected, so I almost twitched my fingertips for a moment… Of course you can’t.
I forced the fire into me and drove away the cold.
Originally, it was difficult to explore someone else’s blood path, but since Seren was completely unconscious, there was no objection.
‘We need to find the source.’
There’s no way the inside of a normal human body would look like this, so there must be a source pouring out the cold.
If it was a mid-game battle, I would have died long ago, so I think it’s probably near the bottom stage… … .
It will be a long road since you start from the head, but if it wasn’t for the areas most vulnerable to cold, you wouldn’t have been able to enter so smoothly, so it’s something you have to endure.
Anyway, I continued to head downwards with all my fire going, but I had no choice but to get stuck at the halfway point.
Because from that point on, the force of the cold became several times stronger.
It was literally freezing cold in front of here, so I couldn’t even dare to enter with the firearm I had.
‘What should I do?’
If I had enough time, I would find another way, but I don’t have time to do that.
The moment I thought about overdoing it… … .
Hwareuk… … !
I suddenly felt heat in my arms.
‘Youngok?’
This elixir, which had never been removed from the body during the retreat, suddenly revealed its presence.
This was my first time experiencing something like this, and in a moment of panic, the heat from the spirit prison invaded my body like a runaway and mixed with my anger rather roughly.
‘Did you react to Seren’s coldness?’
Even in my surprise, I controlled my strength.
It was an unexpected situation, but not a bad thing.
Thanks to you, my firepower has become much stronger.
With my increased firepower, I pushed through the bitter cold and soon came face to face with the source of the cold.
But I discovered something else strange there.
‘uh… … .’
The thing coiled up in the deepest part of Seren’s body was not yin energy, but positive energy.
‘… … .’
While creating a wind of coldness, the force is positive energy.
It’s a strange thing.
Good luck!
Anyway, I finally melted the cold core.
‘… ‘It’s over for now.’
We also reaped an unexpected harvest.
As a result of what just happened, quite a bit of spirit jade has melted.
I think it decreased by about 10%, but the melted spirit jade became my strength as is.
Maybe it’s because it’s mixed with Seren’s cold, but it seems to be about twice the strength that can be normally obtained… … .
With that alone, I gained an internal strength several times that of Yeongcho.
If this were a coincidence, it would be a coincidence.
‘As expected, are you doing good deeds?’
Seren also survived.
When it will wake up depends entirely on its skills… … .
“Ugh… … .”
At that moment, Seren made a groaning noise and started tossing and turning.
Eventually, he moved his eyebrows, which looked like snow had fallen, and the glass-like eyes underneath them were revealed.
“you… … .”
“hi. “Are you alive?”
“… “It seems so.”
Seren shook her head and stood up.
