MEMORIZE Chapter 446

00446 The Last Fortress. ————————————————– ———————-=

There was a quiet silence. Her mind went blank, like the silence flowing around her. I just don’t think anything of it. Only Yujeong was seen slowly, almost collapsing, on her knees.

After a while, Yoo-jeong knelt down and began to collect the pieces of scrap metal one by one. She slowly reaches out and picks up the pieces that are scattered everywhere. Yujeong’s hands were clearly shaking so that anyone could see.

I quietly lifted my feet. And then he lightly kicked a piece that had turned into scrap metal. Just like Yujeong did to Hanbyeol.

Clink!

The broken pieces of metal rolled around and collided with other pieces.

“ah… ?”

A moan, almost like a sigh, came out between slightly parted lips. For a moment, Yujeong flinched in surprise. His hand, which was just about to grab the piece, passed by without being able to grasp it and landed on the ground. As if frozen in that state, Yujeong no longer moved.

It was then.

“───. ───. ───.”

The sound of someone quietly muttering broke the surrounding silence. At that moment, I came to my senses and turned my attention to where I heard the sound.

“Reflect!”

Hangyeol was chanting a spell. no. I had now memorized everything and was just starting to manifest.

Soon, a brilliant light burst out from Hangyeol’s body and gently enveloped us all. A loud, magical sound rang in my ears.

When I closed my eyes once and opened them, I was able to see that a shiny, hemispherical protective shield had been erected around me.

I closed my eyes again.

Once, twice, three times.

I only closed and opened my eyes three times, but something in the world had changed.

Suddenly, I felt like my head was clearing. No, should I say it feels like waking up? One by one, thoughts appear in my empty mind, and my cold heart sinks.

‘no way… .’

I calmly touched my face. And I could see that his face was horribly stiff.

It wasn’t just me. The clan members also all had a look on their faces and were looking at each other with awkward expressions.

I slowly looked down. Things I couldn’t see before come into view.

Yujeong was still on her knees, her shoulders shaking slightly. Pieces of scrap metal are still held in her gathered hands. The wide eyes were shining sadly, looking like they were about to shed tears at any moment.

Yeokjisaji (易地思之). How would I feel if someone broke my favorite weapon for a long time?

When I thought about it that way, I thought it was too much. I was definitely angry, but I didn’t intend to go to this level.

maybe… . I thought it couldn’t be possible, but it seemed like the field effect applied to me too.

“User Lee Yu-jeong. wake up.”

Some time passed. Cha So-rim took one look at me, walked up to Yu-jeong, and calmly wrapped her arms around her shoulders. I stood still and looked back at my clan members with a long sigh.

“I think it would be best to pass by this place quickly. Everyone, please start reorganizing.”

After giving the command, the clan members began to move one by one. Some clan members check their weapons, while others get their injuries treated by a priest.

Even as Shin Jae-ryong was reciting the healing spell, he kept glancing sideways as if he was worried about Han-gyeol. After putting my hand on Shin Jae-ryong’s shoulder to indicate that I would go, I walked over to Han-gyeol, who was still maintaining his order.

Hangyeol’s face was extremely pale. However, he was looking at me with eyes filled with unexpected sadness.

“… “Are you feeling okay?”

“yes. are you okay.”

“There is no need to overdo it.”

“no. Now that I remember everything… . “It’s really okay.”

It was a firm voice. To be honest, it didn’t look good at all, but I still felt an unspoken will to never release it.

I nodded once or twice and then placed my hand on Hangyul’s head.

“okay. But how did you know? “How did you plan on using your powers?”

“… “It was the same as back then.”

“Same?”

“yes. Even back then, we suddenly became mean to each other. But suddenly it happened again… . Ah, there’s something bad going on here. “I thought so.”

It’s rough. I laughed bitterly. And to show that he had done well, he patted Hangyeol’s soft hair. Hangyeol’s face turned bright red and she carefully raised her eyes and looked up at me.

“older brother… . I hope Hyun-i is doing well, right? “You can get it, right?”

“Clan Lord. “Reorganization has been completed.”

At the same time as the question was asked, a report was received from Seon Yu-un that maintenance had been completed. I thought about it for a moment and decided not to make any reply. This is because I could not be certain about Ahn Hyeon’s life or death.

Instead, I asked for a favor.

“Hangyeol. It will be a burden on your body, but… . “If I can bear it, can I use this shield a few more times today?”

“no. “It can last for a long time, not just a few times.”

“It’s impossible to last for a day. Release it for now. “Please ask for it later when I need it.”

“Yes, brother. “I’m really okay now.”

Hangyeol spoke in a cracking voice as if telling him not to worry.

I calmly turned around. Before I knew it, the clan members who had completed maintenance were gathered in one place and waiting for me. Among them, Yujeong, whose shoulders were drooping, caught my eye in particular. I walked quickly and moved to the lead.

“Then we will leave. “We are planning a forced march today, so I hope everyone follows along without falling behind.”

‘For now, let’s focus on passing quickly.’

Thinking that I had to get out of this area quickly, I started marching right away.

*

Three days passed. Although it was only three days, I would say those three days felt like a month.

As I told Hangyeol, we were able to pass through the ‘Land of Hatred’ in one day. Originally, the distance was supposed to take two days at best, but as a result of forcing the march as much as possible, we were able to shorten the time. There were a few dangerous times while passing through, but each time, I was able to escape from danger using Hangyeol’s abilities.

In some ways, it is no different from defeat. No matter how urgent the situation was and how unexpected Hangyeol’s condition was, it was an undeniable fact that preparations had been neglected.

Anyway, we somehow escaped the ‘Land of Hatred’ and entered the fourth gateway, the ‘Land of Fear and Illusion’.

A land of fear and illusion.

In fact, it is a very notorious area as it is the last gateway before arriving at the site of the ruins. To be precise, it is an area with a terrifying field effect that causes confusion in the user’s emotions, reads the fear inherent in the user’s mind, and materializes it into an illusion.

To give a light example, let’s say Ansol knows the existence of dragons and is afraid of them.

If Ansol had been affected by the field effects in this area, we might have had to deal with a dragon that suddenly appeared.

Even if the reality was nothing more than an illusion made up of dead people, its power could never be ignored.

So, in order to prevent such an unfortunate incident, I entered the last area and used the Jeongsimdan that I had cherished so far.

They are of fairly good quality, so taking just one pill can prevent most confusion, and it lasts for a long time. Of course, it was a type of stimulant that had no benefit at all if taken frequently, but it was an inevitable choice in order to pass the exam easily.

Woooooooo… .

While I was thinking, I heard a creepy sound from afar. As soon as I looked up, the scenery of a forest painted in pitch black caught my eye.

silent Night. The area around the campsite is quiet. Occasionally, I could hear crying somewhere, but the sound was so faint that it made the silence of the night stand out.

I slowly closed my eyes. It meant nothing. I just wanted to calmly organize my complicated thoughts.

“brother. “It’s watch shift time.”

At that time, a clear voice spoke to me. When I glanced over, I could see Hanbyul staring at me. I nodded my head absentmindedly.

“… hmm.”

“brother?”

“ah. “You guys go in first.”

“yes?”

For a moment, I considered sleeping like this, but there was something I wanted to think about a little more. I opened my mouth once more.

“You guys go in first. Because I have something to think about… .”

“then… . Are you going to continue to be on guard?”

“huh. Don’t wake the next sleepover, just let them sleep. “It’s enough to stand alone.”

“I already woke you up… .”

Hanbyeol spoke carefully, but I shook my head to tell him not to talk further.

After a while, I felt the presence of Hanbyeol and the other watchmen carefully getting up.

After checking my magic detection, I fell into thought again.

Since then, two days have passed since I entered the ‘land of fear and illusion’.

If I remember correctly, we will probably be able to get through this last area by tomorrow morning. Then, you will finally arrive at the place where the ruins are.

Suddenly, I thought it was really gross. If it were any other expedition, I would have already arrived at the ruins, finished the raid, and was heading back, but I wonder what the hell was going on with this area, and I hadn’t even arrived at the ruins yet, let alone conquered it.

no. It’s a problem even after you arrive. The area, which is just a rite of passage, is so difficult, and I was curious and worried about what else might be inside.

Of course, the reason I had to worry about something I shouldn’t have to worry about was because of one person.

‘Anyway, Ahn Hyeon… . This bastard… .’

Rustle.

While I was quietly chewing Anhyun, I reflexively woke up from my thoughts. Because there was the sound of dry leaves being stepped on behind my back.

As I calmly focused on detection, I could feel someone hesitating behind me.

I quietly looked away.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The visible human image was that of a woman with long, straight hair.

The woman seemed to flinch for a moment, probably because she noticed that I was looking back. The woman stood still for a while and then slowly began to approach where I was.

I turned my attention back to the campfire in front.

Soon, the figure that was slowly walking stopped again.

“I… . brother… .”

It was a low voice, but the sharp tone that remained was clearly Yu-jeong’s voice.

Ever since what happened in the ‘Land of Hate’, Yujeong and I haven’t said a word to each other. Yujeong seemed to be quite shocked and I didn’t really want to talk about it.

But I don’t know why he suddenly started talking to me, but I just didn’t answer.

“Well, Clan Lord… .”

I almost laughed for a moment, but I could barely hold it in.

Crack, crack, crack!

Sparks flew. The roaring bonfire was shining brightly, illuminating the surroundings.

Yujeong seemed to hesitate, but then she seemed to have made up her mind, walked in the direction facing me, and carefully put her hips together.

There was silence for a long time.

Looking at his still sullen face, I thought it was a bit unfortunate. Now and then, he is the user who has been with me the longest, the user with whom I shared a rite of passage, the user who really likes me like an older brother, and the user who follows my words the most.

I know very well what kind of user Yujeong is.

But aside from that, I don’t regret breaking Skurepp. It may have been excessive given the circumstances, but I thought it was something I had to do at some point.

To be honest.

If I had thought of Yujeong the way I did when I first saw her, I wouldn’t have cared about how she changed.

no? In fact, it may have encouraged the situation to become even more abnormal. Because that’s more helpful in battle.

But at some point, my thoughts changed. Yujeong was no longer a tool for my purposes.

At least for now… . He was one of the precious people I wanted to return to Earth with later.

The fire that had been burning so vigorously felt a little dead. As I slowly fumbled around, I caught several of the tree branches that had been piled up. When he threw it into the bonfire, the dying flames began to burn fiercely again.

Grumble!

The image of Yu-jeong reflected in the flames was just staring at the bonfire while holding his knees tightly. Then, he gently leaned his face on one knee and looked at me furtively.

The moment our eyes met, Yujeong’s dry lips slowly parted.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

I’ve become accustomed to picturing situations in my head and describing them as they are, so I’m not used to writing things down quickly yet. I tilted my head at some parts while writing, but I think I’ll get used to it if I keep writing 🙂

For Yujeong, skurepp is a very important item. Regardless of its performance, it is like the first thing Suhyun gave her out of concern for her. There was only one person who mentioned this in the previous episode, and honestly, I was very happy. I was surprised that you remembered that part in such detail, and at the same time, I was very grateful. lol. (__ )*

I’ll probably arrive at the fortress tomorrow. Now you can say that your hard work is almost over. To be honest, I modified or deleted most of the hardships I had been thinking about, but the rewards were left as is, so it doesn’t feel like I’m eating them raw. ha ha ha.

P.S. There are a lot of people drawing congratulatory messages these days! Pashupati, thank you for the broken fan! 😀 You can see their congratulatory message if you come to my yard!
