Episode 166
“omg… … omg… … .”
That guy is worse than a red viper.
I can’t give orders, and I can’t project my intentions.
Like a common bee commonly seen in the human world, it just flew as I wanted.
“Why doesn’t the guy I created from my body listen to me?” … !”
Funny enough, I wondered if this was what it would feel like to have a child.
Of course, I have never felt my parents’ touch.
It seems like thirty minutes have passed since we parted ways with the group.
That means that it has fallen several kilometers from the spirit world where it originally operated.
I wonder if I can find my way there without a navigation system.
Even while I was frantically chasing after him, such random thoughts came to mind.
-Bee.
And finally, the ugly bee… … No, the golden bee stopped flying and started circling in place.
“wow… … .”
The thought of severely scolding the bee when I caught him disappeared as if in vain.
This is because beneath the space where he was hovering, there were flowers that I had never seen before.
“pretty… … .”
Since I was born, I have never been called pretty.
But now I couldn’t bear not to say that.
I didn’t feel this way when I watched Pranium, which shined brightly in five colors, or Golden Movie, which was overflowing with vitality.
A literally beautiful and noble plant.
I don’t know the name, but there were golden flowers at the place I arrived.
“Everything is golden… … .”
The thick petals spread out in seven directions, the calyxes underneath them, and even the stem that sprouted in the middle were all made of gold.
The colors were varied in intensity, as if a gradient effect had been applied, so even though it was a single color, it didn’t feel monotonous at all.
“How many songs are there in total?”
I got the feeling without even asking the old lady at the night market.
If you break this and take it to the human world, there is a price to pay.
-Kiek.
A pterodactyl’s scream passes through my mind.
I know, I know.
Don’t worry, I’ll return without touching a single hair.
A promise is a promise, but the thought of plucking this precious flower made me feel like I was committing a big sin.
It’s not that I have a particularly strong sense of morality.
It’s just that, no matter what evil person you bring here, he will act like me.
There was a creature in front of me that made me feel pious just by looking at it.
-Bee.
“what are you doing?”
An out-of-control golden bee landed in front of the largest flower.
It was no different from the sight of bees collecting honey in reality.
It’s already too late, so let’s just take a look and see what they’re doing.
I crossed my arms and watched the scene slowly.
-Bee.
How much time had passed, the golden bee flew up again.
Is it an illusion?
Somehow, his color seems to have become a little darker.
“uh?”
As I chased after him like that, I didn’t even look back, and he suddenly flew towards me.
Does it have the temperament of a tree frog, just like its owner?
He wandered around my elbow as if he had something to worry about.
“Why are you doing this?”
What can I do to stop this guy from wandering?
While I was thinking about that, I thought, Ah! With a sound, he quickly released his arms.
He wasn’t interested in my elbow.
I couldn’t go back to my hometown(?) because I was crossing my arms, so I was just hanging around nearby.
“here?”
When I spread my right palm upward, it descended into a golden haze as if it had been waiting for me.
I couldn’t help but chuckle at that sight.
This is what it feels like to be the host of a bee.
“what the. Okay, let’s see what I got from all over… … .”
Right then.
I couldn’t help but tremble like someone who had been electrocuted.
“Oh my… … medical charge… … !!!!”
Surprisingly, what the golden bee brought me was exactly the substance I had been searching for even in my dreams.
“Merus?!”
At first I thought it was an illusion, but it wasn’t.
What the little golden bee gave me was definitely Merus.

Even the amount was not small.
A much larger amount of blood flowed into the body than when a handful of blood was taken from the spirit world.
“under… … haha.”
I was just trying to summon the Red Viper from the spirit world.
An unexpected creature came out and took me to the field of Merus.
-Bee.
The faithful golden bee continued to deliver Merus from the flower without stopping even once.
At first, I was overjoyed at the fact that I could obtain Merus, but from then on, my thoughts slowly developed.
‘Right now it’s only one at most… … .’
It feels similar to recovering stamina by absorbing cores in a dungeon.
It absorbs energy immediately on site and develops its abilities.
This was a pattern I always repeated in dungeons.
‘Time is limited… … Merus is increasing more and more… … .’
Finally, I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t just store the Merus that the golden bee gave me.
I closed my eyes again and visualized the image, just like I had summoned the Red Viper a moment ago.
What came to mind was not a vicious snake, but a cute, small (humans can be so treacherous) golden bee.
Perhaps it was because I had seen it with my own eyes just a moment ago, but the image came to mind faster than before.
-Bee.
-Bee.
In an instant, the sound of golden bee flapping wings begins to be heard in stereo.
“it’s okay!”
They succeeded in creating one additional bee.
Unless the thing on your shoulder is a bowling ball, now anyone can predict it.
It may be slow at first, but soon the number of bees made from Merus will increase exponentially.
“Wait a minute, now that I think about it, do these guys have names too? I can’t ask the chicken… … .”
As I was scratching my head and muttering to myself, I heard an answer I wasn’t expecting.
[Anima: Source of life]
V1, which had not been doing well since coming to the spirit world, somehow displayed information.
“The name of this flower is ‘Anima’? “Does the association have any information?”
[The information in V1 consists of three bases. The first is data searched through the association’s data network, and the second is Dr. Jin’s own data. The last part is data from previous users’ experiences.]
“!”
Previous user of V1.
That would be impossible without her.
“Is this information about Anima perhaps the third data?”
[That’s right.]
Kirill.
She had known information about Anima from a long time ago.
The more I learned new facts, the more I felt how transcendent Kirill had been.
“It’s a shame to see it turn out like this.”
When I saw the number of bees that had multiplied in an instant, I couldn’t help but whet my appetite.
If I had more flower fields than this, I could have gotten a lot more Merus.
Because I learned how to harvest Merus in Anima in a short period of time.
Is this why they say that human greed has no end?
I walked to the Anima flower field and squatted just in case.
I was worried that extracting Merus might have weakened the energy of the Anima.
“Fortunately, there is nothing wrong… … .”
Like flowers that make honey again over time, is it possible for Merus, carried by Anima, to be regenerated?
If that were possible, my colleagues would continue to come here even after they have finished adjusting to the spirit world.
“thanks.”
I carefully touched the petals, fearing that the anima might be damaged.
I never thought I’d get Merus this way.
It would be impossible to deal with the demon with the amount obtained today, but it was very encouraging to see the possibility.
Hehehe.
Tingling.
“Ugh… … !!”
At that moment, I felt the hairs on my entire body stand up.
Every single cell began to be on high alert.
This is because I felt the energy of that day that I could not forget even in my dreams.
I gritted my teeth and jumped up from my spot.
I feel like I’m being preyed upon.
This feeling was the same as what I felt in the ranking match.
‘Mine… … !!!’
Outside, in a space in the spirit world called the Hidden Dungeon, surprisingly, the energy of a demon was felt.
How can this happen?
I turned away, embarrassed and angry.
-Krrr… … .
“uh… … ?”
That wasn’t Mine.
Although it was the same as Demon’s in that its pupilless eyes were filled with a purple aura, it was basically impossible to call it ‘Human’.
“It’s horribly ugly.”
He was a disgusting-looking guy who could not even be described as ugly.
Not only did it have unbalanced legs, two on the left and three on the right, but the colors of the mane on its body were also randomly mixed.
A bonus is that the head is severely dented, as if it had been hit with a hammer.
If we had to be specific, it looked similar to a hyena, but this appearance made the hyena feel like a super-class goddess.
The energy emanating from its body was consistent with that of a ‘demon’, but it looked like a special variant rather than a normal life form.
Yoo Ji-won becomes a chimera.
Yes, I had a lot of that feeling.
‘Where do these kids come from?’
I felt that way for a moment, but I soon changed my mind.
Since humans also enter and exit the spirit world, there is no law that says it is impossible for creatures from the demon world.
It doesn’t matter how.
‘Why’ is the question.
“Looking at it, it doesn’t seem like they came here to adapt like my friends… … .”
At first, I thought he was showing hostility towards me.
However, it was only because the directions were the same, they wanted something else.
Anima’s flower garden beneath my feet.
All of their pupilless eyes were pointed at the Anima.
Looking at their ferocious spirit, it seems that their purpose is not to make this flower garden pretty.
“These bastards… … .”
Suddenly, I feel like my blood is rushing backwards.
I finally figured out how to get Merus, but how dare you ruin my(?) precious resource?
I once again thought about the promise I made with the pterosaur.
Although they said they would not carelessly harm life, that was the standard for living things in the ‘spirit world.’
“You guys, I’m just asking just in case… … .”
I activated the ether inside my body and asked the disgusting guys.
“You’re not a spirit creature, are you?”
-Kwaaak.
Some of the monsters jumped towards me as if they were saying some bullshit.
I calmly advanced on my own and dodged their teeth and claws.
Even though they couldn’t move as fast as in the human world, it was enough to avoid the attacks of these fresh creatures.
I deliberately planned my route to get away from Anima’s flower field, but fortunately, I didn’t seem to be very intelligent.
During the brief battle, we were able to get quite far from the flower field.
Suddenly.
-Pfft.
‘As expected.’
Some fell to the ground with their heads cut off.
But no one gave up just because they were hurt.
Just like Mine, they are also immune to black ether.
‘That means… … .’
These guys will be great testing resources.
With that thought in mind, I retrieved the black ether and summoned new energy.
It’s a disaster.
A hot energy welled up inside my body, and I contained that energy to one side.
It is still impossible to create a blade as long as Black Ether.
I decided to explore the energy of Merus on the surface of my hand.
To put it simply,
puck.
What he meant was that he was going to punch him.
-Pfft.
The head of the monster, which had been fighting back tenaciously even when stabbed quite deeply, was bent in an instant.
And then I never got up again.
“her… … . “It’s definitely effective.”
The spirit creatures here were unable to use Merus’s powers, and the monsters that came to the spirit world were also helpless against Merus’ energy.
Oh, you guys.
I’ll crush the other side’s face too.
Knock knock.
From then on, it was a series of one-sided assaults.
Their claws occasionally stirred my body, but that was only an afterimage of the ‘return’.
Knock knock.
After shaking my fist for the first time in a while, I felt like my stress was relieved.
The total number of monsters that crossed into the spirit world was nine.
In less than 5 minutes, I knocked them all out.
