Episode 148
Ellie McDowell (2)
Hae-joon and Ellie.
Although the reasons were conflicting, to Jeong Do, the two people were people who absolutely had to be saved.
If what Hae-sik said was true, it was a contest for perspective. After thinking for a moment, Jeong-do immediately placed an order.
“Please bring me some paper and a pen. “If possible, use a large piece of paper.”
“older brother? What is that all of a sudden… .”
“It’s urgent. hurry.”
“Okay, just a moment. brother.”
Seoyoon went to get paper and pen on behalf of Hae-sik, who was confused and stuttering. In the meantime, I opened his status window and took a deep breath.
‘This is my first time actually doing it.’
Jeongdo’s gaze was directed at the skill column in the status window.
<Calling (reinforcement)>
It was a skill derived from the ‘title’ obtained as a reward after clearing the Sky Island test.
That ability is the ability to bring someone who has made a covenant with him to his side.
In addition, the skill enhancement potion purchased from Winry’s store had been used to enhance the skill. The enhanced calling not only allows you to summon the target, but also allows you to move next to the target.
In fact, there was a time in England where I used this function to instantly move to the side of a saint.
‘You have to pay attention to mana distribution. ‘As much detail as possible.’
However, I wasn’t planning on moving next to Hae-joon at this point. To be precise, I couldn’t do it even if I wanted to. In order to move to the other side, it was only possible to earnestly call for Jeongdo from the other side.
Unlike the saint, Hae-jun did not ask Jeong-do for salvation.
So, is <Calling> a useless skill in the current situation?
That wasn’t it. <Calling> still had features that had not been utilized properly until now.
After clearing the Sky Island Hall to the final stage, the title was upgraded and the <Calling> skill was also upgraded.
<You have cleared Stage 3 of the Hall of Trials. The title <Voice that Penetrates Dimensions> is upgraded to <Divine Words that Reverberate through the Universe>. The <Calling> skill is strengthened. From now on, it is possible to ‘forcibly’ summon an opponent who has not made a covenant through <Calling>. However, forced summoning consumes mana rapidly in proportion to the level of the summoned target.>
The final upgraded <Calling> skill was capable of forcibly summoning the opponent!
Since it was clearly a very deceptive ability, I was trying to use it somehow.
He forcibly summons the commander of the Demon World to the center of the heavens and then runs away.
However, Jeong-do has not been able to utilize his skills properly until now. Because the penalty was too big for him to take advantage of.
Mana is consumed in proportion to level.
Simply forcibly summoning a level 10 target did not consume 10 mana. It required several or ten times more mana than that.
Naturally, Jeong Do did not have the mana to normally summon SS-level users.
normally.
That also meant that there was a way to retrieve it in an unusual way.
If you use the <Calling> skill properly to summon a target, it was possible to maintain the summoned target for about an hour. After that time, the summon target returns to its original location.
And by reducing this one hour time, the mana consumed for <Calling> could be reduced.
‘It’s truly a fleeting moment.’
Even if you pour all the mana you have into <Calling>, the time to summon Haejun is less than 1 second.
In fact, it was a short period of time where I couldn’t do anything.
If there was enough time, it would have been possible to summon Haejun with a forced <Calling>, then make a covenant with him, and then summon him reliably with a normal <Calling>, but that wasn’t the case right now.
I had to do everything I could in less than a second.
“Brother, here.”
“Whoa, okay. thank you.”
Jeong Do accepted paper and pen from Seoyoon. The paper was quite large, just as Jeongdo had ordered. It was large enough to cover the entire upper body. After nodding his head, he began to write boldly on paper with a pen. And after he wrote down everything he wanted, he spoke to the guild members.
“good. “Everyone stand next to me.”
At Jeong-do’s words, the three people and Tinia came and stood side by side next to Jeong-do. The degree quickly began to explain.
“From now on, Mr. Hae-jun will appear before your eyes. But after a very short time he will disappear again. “Keep your eyes wide open and catch the information.”
In fact, in this forced <Calling>, the condition of Hae-joon, the PC caster, was more important than the degree of the caster.
This is because Hae-joon, embarrassed by the suddenly changed environment, could have returned home without doing anything.
However, he believed in Hae-joon’s calmness and overwhelming talent more than anyone else.
Paaaat!
Jeongdo poured all his mana and used <Calling>. And a person’s image appeared along with a bright ray of light.
Inyoung’s identity was, of course, Haejun.
It’s literally like a split second.
The level of concentration made it seem as if time passed slowly.
Hae-joon seemed surprised by the sudden change in circumstances. But he quickly calmed down. And he took notice of his surroundings.
The location is inside a building.
The people around her were Jin Jeong-do, Yoon Seo-yoon, a man she didn’t know, and her beloved younger brother.
‘That’s what he did.’
The decision was quick. As far as Hae-joon knew, there was only one person who could do something so miraculous. Hae-joon’s head quickly turned towards Jeong-do.
The time it took to get here was 0.3 seconds.
There was a large piece of paper spread out on Jeongdo’s chest, and the following was written in large letters on it.
-I’m planning to go to the rescue. Hold on as long as you can.
And Hae-joon’s eyes widened slightly at the text written just below it, and then shrunk again.
-Be sure to save it.
A total of 0.5 seconds up to this point. Hae-joon understood the situation perfectly.
The moment when Hae-joon briefly nods his head.
Faaah!

Once again, a halo of light appeared, and Hae-joon’s appearance disappeared completely. Jeong-do said with a stern expression.
“Everyone saw it, right?”
“… okay.”
Cheolyun’s voice as the representative answered was dark. This was because Hae-joon’s condition was more serious than expected. He was covered in blood all over his body. And there was a long lightning-shaped scar carved on his side. Although the bleeding had been stopped, it was an emergency situation in which the wound could burst if the slightest strain was applied.
“So what are you going to do now?”
“Of course, we have to go to the dungeon where Mr. Hae-jun entered.”
“You know there’s no point in going, right? Once a person enters the dungeon, he or she can no longer enter. “Unless it’s Princess Kako.”
“are you okay. “I also know how to play <Dungeon Opening>.”
“what?!”
Cheolyun was startled by Jeongdo’s answer.
The <Dungeon Opening> skill was known to be the only skill on Earth that only Princess Kako could use. And now that Princess Kako has died, there is no longer anyone on Earth who can use that skill.
But suddenly, Jeong-do said that he could use <Dungeon Opening>, so of course I was shocked.
‘It was a relief to confirm her name by observation.’
Princess Kako whom I met in Japan.
Her identity was Karma’s liaison and her identity was revealed to Jeong Do. As long as you knew her name, it was quite possible to load her from her album.
Just as Do-do was about to quickly get to work to leave for the dungeon, Hae-sik muttered absently. He spoke to Do-do with an expression as if he had seen something he couldn’t see.
“… older brother. The wound that just appeared on my brother’s side. “It’s a familiar mark.”
“what?”
“There’s no way I can forget that lightning-shaped scar. That’s definitely… .”
Haesik muttered helplessly, as if he couldn’t believe it.
“It’s a wound caused by Ellie’s <Thunder Cannon>.”
There was silence in the room.
* * * * * *
In fact, Jeongdo had loaded Princess Kako from the album a few times before.
But it wasn’t because of the <Dungeon Opening> skill. The reason her degree loaded Princess Kako was to obtain information about her karma from her.
<… … .>
However, Princess Kako remained silent as the words that the loaded characters were favorable towards her were meaningless.
I tried to cajole and threaten her, but she remained steadfast. She really couldn’t get even the slightest bit of information. She couldn’t even decide if she was Princess Kako of the ‘real universe’ or if she was Princess Kako of the ‘copy universe’.
Is that it? She was so loaded that she even tried to control her body. Of course, she was a low-ranking SS-level user, so there was no way she could control a body of her caliber, so her efforts ended in futility.
When a total of three loads were completed, Do-do gave up on getting information from her. The consolation was that, regardless of her uncooperative nature, her skills and talents could be used without problems.
Although Jeong-do summoned Hae-joon, checked his condition and gave instructions, the main story did not change.
There were only four days left, and Hae-joon and Ellie were still trapped in the dungeon.
The dungeon that Haejun and Ellie entered was created near the Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA.
The group quickly found a plane and flew to the United States. Immediately after arriving at the airport, we headed towards the Grand Canyon via the prepared transportation.
“Here it is.”
The fact that two SS-level users entered the dungeon at the same time was a big issue in the United States, so the dungeon was strictly managed. This was even more so because the dungeon had to be forcibly closed after four days.
As Jeong-do approached the dungeon, the American civil servant in charge of the dungeon caught him.
“Hey, civilians are not allowed here… .”
However, the civil servant could not continue speaking until the end.
The energy emanating from the government implicitly put pressure on public officials. The civil servant took a step back, recognized Jeong Do’s face, and shouted loudly.
Jeong Do and his party passed the government officials without paying any attention and approached the dungeon crack. While the civil servant who followed him from the Korean association explained the situation to the American civil servant, Jeong-do muttered softly in front of the dungeon.
“observe.”
And that moment.
Everything that had happened so far began to make sense.
Two SS-level users were deployed, but why were they unable to clear the S-level dungeon in just 25 days?
Why was Hae-joon suffering from serious injuries that seemed to have been inflicted by Ellie?
It all made sense.
Tiring.
Dungeon name: Solitude.
Number of people limited: 20 people or less.
Dungeon grade: S
Dungeon type: Special mission type
Monster that appears: ??? (Hidden Boss)
Special note: Loneliness refers to the last remaining insect after all kinds of poisonous insects are gathered in one place and forced to eat each other. Persons who enter the dungeon will see the images of others other than themselves as their own trauma (Curse of ???)
The dungeon is automatically cleared when the last person remaining, and the last person can receive a huge reward. (Hidden clear method exists)
It was the worst dungeon of the worst quality that I had seen during my expedition so far. Jeongdo frowned slightly and then spoke in a low voice.
“Change the operation. “I will be the only person who enters the dungeon after opening it.”
“older brother! but!”
“This dungeon becomes more fatal to users the more people enter it.”
“… … .”
Hae-sik chewed his lips at those words. The sea food looked very disorganized.
Why not? It was strange that he didn’t feel angry because his only blood relative was fighting for his life in a dungeon and he had to just watch.
Haesik looked like he was going to jump into the dungeon crack at any moment.
“… please. older brother.”
“Yes, believe me.”
Do-do tapped Hae-sik on the back and then approached the dungeon crack. And after loading Princess Kako from the album, I used the <Dungeon Opening> skill.
Left ahhh!
The dungeon, which was turning red and refusing to allow anyone to enter, was completely torn apart.
Jeongdo jumped into it without hesitation.
