“Brother! Stop it! Why are you doing this?”
“God made me do it.”
A look of frustration crossed Father John’s face as he heard those words.
Even the gods seemed puzzled by those words.
【Doesn’t he have a guardian angel?】
【That’s right, I thought there wasn’t one.】
【Did you get it secretly when we weren’t looking?】
【By the way, which guardian spirit ordered you to drink poison?】
【Didn’t you get caught by the wrong guy?】
Of course, the guardian angel was just an excuse.
Seo Kang-rim silently cut the meat with a knife and brought it to his mouth.
“I do this for a reason, so all you have to do is help me, Father.”
After eating some meat, Seo Kang-rim’s whole body started to feel numb again.
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and the whites of his eyes turned red.
Father John had no choice.
[The ability ‘Healing Hand’ is activated!]
[The ability ‘Healing Hand’ is activated!]
[The ability ‘Healing Hand’ is activated!]
[The ability ‘Healing Hands’… ]
After eating the poisoned meal for a long time, Seo Kang-rim’s hands stopped.
A notification window appeared before his eyes.
[You have acquired the ability ‘Poison Resistance’!]
‘I finally got it.’
Seo Kang-rim wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
This was one of the reasons he brought Father John here.
To obtain the ability ‘Poison Resistance’.
If you fight poisonous demons and recover repeatedly, you will build up poison resistance, but it takes a long time.
So, I chose to treat it by forcibly taking poison.
There is also a way to buy an antidote from a store and use it, but the price of the antidote is quite expensive.
In the case of detox herbs, if they are not processed, their effectiveness is reduced and they are not very useful.
‘And also raise the level of Father John’s supernatural ability.’
If you use a power repeatedly, the level of that power will increase.
It was clear that Father John’s abilities were also growing.
Father John was almost in a coma due to repeatedly using his powers.
“Brother, how long are you going to… … do this… … .”
Not only was he physically tired, but he also seemed to be mentally tired.
It seemed as if Seo Kang-rim was getting goosebumps at the sight of him vomiting blood and ingesting poison.
Seo Kang-rim seemed to understand, as he took something out of the water and handed it over.
“Thank you for your hard work. Please have some of this.”
“What is this… … ?”
“It’s a magic recovery car.”
It was the tea I had at mealtime last night.
The magic recovery tea in the thermos was still warm.
Father John took the thermos with trembling hands.
As he began to drink the tea carefully, his magical power began to build up and his complexion began to improve.
“Have you recovered some of your magic power?”
“Yes, brother. I’m okay… … .”
“Then shall we start again?”
“yes?”
Without giving Father John a moment to be confused, Seo Kang-rim started cutting the remaining meat again.
‘I’ve gained a talent, but I’m still a third-rank official.’
‘Poison tolerance’ is currently at its lowest level.
Seo Kang-rim still has a long way to go to reach the level he wants.
I had no choice but to forcibly increase my tolerance by taking more poison.
“Brother, I… … I don’t think my magic power has recovered… … .”
Seo Kang-rim realized that it was a lie.
That’s understandable. All the food Father John ate yesterday was of a type that helped restore magic power.
I deliberately fed him only that kind of food.
But he didn’t nitpick that fact.
“okay.”
Seo Kang-rim poured out the thermos flask from the sink without showing any sign of being shaken.
“Don’t worry, Father. There’s still a lot of magic power left.”
Father John’s face was filled with horror.
Seo Kang-rim said while cutting the meat.
“You said you would pay for the meal, right?”

She looked down at the marks carved into the tree.
‘It’s already been ten days since I entered Balseol’s room.’
She sighed briefly and put the knife away.
When I heard the explanation about the magic realm from Annabi, I didn’t think I would be able to escape it within a day or two.
We brought plenty of food and made preparations, but already ten days have passed.
Only about half of the food we brought remained.
“Sister Suah, I’m here!”
“came.”
At that moment, the voices of Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul were heard.
The twins, along with other members of District 2, were returning to the campsite together.
He had just finished hunting and had leaves stuck all over his body.
“Thank you for your hard work. Did you find anything?”
“Umm, no… … . I kept looking, but I couldn’t find it.”
The other people standing behind nodded in agreement.
After Shin Soo-ah and her group entered Balseol’s room, the other people from Area 2 also started coming in one by one.
At first they all acted separately, but when there were some thugs rushing in to steal food, they started to act together.
Thanks to that, I was able to create a safe campsite, but the problem is that I can’t find the items I need to conquer the area.
Shin Soo-ah nodded without showing any sign of regret.
“Everyone, get some rest. You’ll find it tomorrow.”
The others nodded to Shin Soo-ah’s story and went off to get some rest.
Only Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul remained by Shin Soo Ah’s side.
Yun Gyeo-ul said bluntly.
“I’m so bored. It’s already been ten days.”
“I can’t help it. I don’t know what to look for.”
“That’s what I mean. Besides, I don’t really care about other people, so I’m not much help.”
When Yoon Gyul-wool openly gossiped, Yoon Bom was surprised and said.
“You shouldn’t say things like that! We’re all helping each other!”
“Sister, stop acting so coy. You think so too. You’re all weak.”
Several people formed a group and searched for the demonic realm, but Yun Gyul-wool was not satisfied with it.
That’s understandable, because the level difference was too great.
Even when I tried to go deeper and more dangerous places, I had to turn back because of the people.
“It would be nice if Master Kangrim were here.”
“… … .”
This time, even Yoon Bom couldn’t refute it.
In fact, she also felt much more comfortable hanging out with Seo Kang-rim, and learned a lot from him.
Yoon Bom said with a sullen look on her face.
“When will Master come in… … .”
“You’re saying that you’re going to start over from the first room with Father John? Then it’ll take at least a week.”
Shin Soo Ah heard the story and thought that Seo Kang Rim would come in before a week passed.
Because I know his skills well.
As I was thinking that maybe I’d get in today, I felt a presence nearby.
“Who’s there?”
“Ah, Shin Soo-ah.”
The person who appeared at the campsite was a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.
But he was not the person Shin Soo Ah was waiting for.
She let out a short sigh and said.
“Hello, Dokgo Jun.”
Dokgo Jun approached me with a smile.
Yun Gyul-woo said as if he was annoyed by the sight.
“I set up an alarm trap nearby, how did you get in?”
“I’ve unlocked everything. I just need to install it more thoroughly.”
Dokgo Jun answered as if it was nothing and sat down on the stump of a nearby tree.
Shin Soo-ah spoke without any sign of joy or displeasure.
“What brings you here? You always come here alone.”
Although Dokgo Jun entered before Shin Soo Ah and her group, he continued to act independently.
I wondered if there was a reason, but Dokgo Jun just remained calm.
“Oh, I was wondering if Seo Kang-rim had come.”
“I haven’t seen it here.”
“Hmm, I see. When will Seo Kang-rim come… … .”
Just looking at their faces, it seemed like they were missing Seo Kang-rim like twin siblings.
However, Shin Soo-ah, who had guessed his true nature, was looking at him with cold eyes.
“Is there nothing else to see?”
“Okay. I’ll give you this.”
Dokgo Jun took something out of his bag and lightly threw it at Shin Soo Ah.
Shin Soo-ah, who caught it in the air, had a blank expression on her face without any surprise.
“These are fruits brought from the orchard.”
The moment Shin Soo-ah picked up the fruit, a notification window appeared before her eyes.
[You have acquired the item ‘Baekhyanggwa’.]
[Completed the ‘Room of Disclosure’ mission (difficulty: Easy).]
A message window popped up, but Shin Soo-ah’s expression did not change.
There was no reason to be surprised since I had already seen it once.
Shin Soo-ah threw the incense stick back to Dokgo Jun.
He smiled with a satisfied look on his face.
“Ms. Shin Soo-ah, you already knew, didn’t you?”
“yes.”
“Why don’t you go out?”
“Because the difficulty level is low.”
If there was one place that stood out the most on the island, it would definitely be the orchard.
A place everyone should consider at least once when food is running low.
Shin Soo-ah also entered the orchard to check the situation at the beginning, and defeated the monkey and obtained the fruit.
“It seems like some people were satisfied with that and left… … .”
Dokgo Jun said that and looked at Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul.
They also seemed to know about the white incense, and they looked unfazed.
“As expected, they’re all great. They’re all supporting roles. You can’t be satisfied with just lower-level roles.”
Dokgo Jun had a strangely cheerful face.
“Okay, I’ll do the same with you guys.”
“yes?”
“Seogangrim hasn’t even arrived yet, and I think you guys are good enough to be my colleagues.”
At those words, Yun Gyul-woo frowned.
It was because of Dokgo Jun’s arrogant attitude.
He said with a noticeably displeased expression on his face.
“I don’t want to be your colleague?”
Dokgo Jun didn’t show any sign of disappointment or surprise at Yoon Gyul-woo’s reaction.
Just looking at Yun Gyeo-ul as if observing her.
“Are you the type with a lot of pride? Then I guess I’ll have to use force to persuade you.”
“Do you want to have a go at it?”
Yun Gyeo-wool glared at Dokgo Jun and put his hand on his bow.
Dokgo Jun also responded by drawing his sword.
As the atmosphere quickly became tense, Shin Soo-ah stopped them.
“Winter, stop it. You too, stop it.”
“But, Ms. Shin Soo-ah. Isn’t that person not listening to me?”
“Stop before I use force to persuade Dokgo Jun.”
“Ms. Shin Soo-ah? Yeah. I think it would be more interesting to fight you.”
Dokgo Jun had an expression on his face that seemed like it didn’t matter who he fought with.
Only Yoon Bom was at a loss in the ominous atmosphere.
While I was at a loss as to how to stop this, one of the party members came running in a hurry.
“Shin Soo-ah! Shin Soo-ah! … … Huh? Dokgo Jun is here too?”
The party members looked at them with bewildered expressions.
Meanwhile, Dokgo Jun just stares at Shin Soo Ah with eyes that seem to be hunting for prey.
He didn’t pay any attention to the party members.
Shin Soo-ah looked around for a moment and then approached the party members.
“Did you two fight?”
“Yes. We had a little argument. But what happened? You seem to be in a hurry.”
“Oh! There’s someone cooking nearby.”
“… … Cooking?”
