Chapter 7 (1/2)
Chapter 7: Hidden Piece (End)
“What’s this all of a sudden…”
“I think it’s telling us to choose a door and enter?”
Two members of the party discussed as they examined the four doors
‘You can only choose once’
Four doors
Only one person could enter a room and these kinds of trials could not be repeated
Once someone enters a room, the door loses its effect
It was also impossible for one to pass a trial and attempt another
Until this time, no one has ever reached the shrine so the four trials were still intact
Muyoung rubbed his chin
‘The trials are chosen by the specific characteristics of each of the 72 Demons’
There are always treasures to be found in places where the Star of David appears
However, thethese treasures were different
The method would usually depend on the specific characteristics of the Demon
The trial to obtain the Book of Amon was a conflict between human malice and selfishness
In the end, there wereeach other
On the other hand…
What about Gremory?
‘Gremory never revealed herself, even until the very end’
There were only rumors that she was the only female Demon, besides that, there was no other information
Even after the Great Cala mankind, she never showed herself
There were a few De them, Gremory was especially hidden under a veil
He would have no choice, but toon the commonly known characteristics of Gremory
‘Fidelity, honesty, generosity and anguish’
The first things that come to mind were those four
There were a few characteristics included that didn’t e of De he could do
Anyhow, these were the characteristics used to describe Gremory in literature, he had to assu to do with them
‘Will there be rewards in every trial or after the completion of all four trials or if not those, will the reward be hidden in just a single trial?”
There was no way to know right now
“So in”
Eventually, a
Wooooo
The sounds and the aura emitted from the doors ithout a doubt able to stimulate fear in humans
Unless you were quite courageous, you wouldn’t even think about opening a door
Since Muyoung was used to these situations, he wasn’t very affect, but to those whose lives were the most precious to them, it was an obvious choice
“Mister, can I go in there?”
Suzy broke the brief silence
Muyoung looked at her indifferently
‘How unexpected’
She was the youngest and was physically the weakest
She was only able to survive because of her quick wits and decisiveness
Since she ith her father, he didn’t expect her to take risks, but she was the first to affir one of the doors
The door she chose was <the difficult,=”” but=”” short=”” path=””>
“No one knohat’s waiting for you inside the door Is there a reason why you chose this door?”
“Just…”
“Just?”
“I don’t know I just think that I should enter that door”
She bowed her head deeply
It looked like she didn’t kno to explain herself
‘A feeling Or a trap’
It was hard to conclude the reason why only Suzy felt that way
But it felt like it wasn’t just fluke
‘It’s not a trap’
If it was, there was no way they would target Suzy
It is natural they would try to separate the
Even if they targeted Suzy, it wasn’t like she would influence others
He recalled Suzy’s past actions
As he thought about it, he realized that, although she wouldn’t always be doing the best thing to survive, she would at least take the next best action
Like the time she survived the attack of the Three-clawed Shrewmice
The others would try their best to close their distance between Muyoung, but only she would keep her distance and secretly look for a place to avoid the fight
She wasn’t taking actions consciously, her instincts and senses took over
“Which door do you think I will have to enter?”
So he asked
No ht, there was no definite answer
On the other hand, Suzy acted with ‘confidence’
Thefact was her father’s reaction
Nor in danger
Yet, as if it was natural, he didn’t even try to stop her
Most likely, he knew about her ‘feeling’
“Ummm…”
As she looked back and forth between the four doors and Muyoung, she pointed at a door
“This one”
Muyoung followed her finger and looked towards the door
‘The difficult and long path’
He shook his head
He then stood in front of the door with the phrase <the difficult=”” and=”” long=”” path=””>
“All of you enter the door Suzy chooses for you”
“What?”
Taehwan stared at hi what he meant
It was abnormal to let a child make a choice that could decide their fate
However, Muyoung thought it was the right choice
Although he could only explain it as a ‘feeling’, since he had experienced life in the Underworld, he able to accept it rather easily
It wasn’t like there was no one with foresight in the Underworld
“Suzy, who are the people ill atte two doors?”
“Taehwan oppa and that person”
She didn’t hesitate as she picked out those two people
And so it was decided that Taehas to atte,=”” but=”” easy=”” path=””> while the other man was to attempt the <the short=”” and=”” easy=”” path=””>
“The-then are you telling me to stay out here with this person?”
The man, as the first to say that he wouldn’t enter the trials, trembled
It was because if he was to stay with the armless cripple, there was no doubt they would die if the monsters attacked
“As long as you’re in the shrine, the shrewmice won’t attack”
It wasn’t a place where beasts like shrewmice could enter whenever they wanted
And there really were no traces of shrewmice around the shrine
‘We have to finish as fast as possible’
It will be ht in nine hours
They need at least one hour to return back to the temple
