Chapter 93: Went Outside But (2) (2/2)
“…”
“The holy water see every day as well”
Haas right While she could only hear and feel the holy water, Chi-Woo could actually see it And the spring pool had decreased half in volu it had already dried up
Moreover, the nureatly decreased To be , and ould be replenished before remained unreplenished For exa on how much he used it There was only one explanation—it was because of his contract with La Bella To be more specific, the ‘core of balance’ that maintained the paradise had been absorbed into Chi-Woo’s heart, so the things that
“Uh” Chi-Woo was taken aback “But what about staying until we use everything here instead of letting it go to waste…"
“That would only take a few more days”
“We hadn’t completed the map…”
“That can’t be helped” While Chi-Woo was having trouble finding the right thing to say, Hawa replied curtly and rebutted his argument “We don’t kno far we’d have to climb up We can only hope that the floor we recently discovered is the highest one Even then, since we’ve mapped out more than half of the upper floors, and you’vewhen she noticed the dark look on Chi-Woo’s face
“Perhaps” Hawa tilted her head “Do you want to keep staying here?”
“No, that’s not it” Chi-Woo io out, but…for so of thefor hi regretful, but he couldn’t change Hawa’s decision; he agreed that he had done everything there was to do here It was really tih at his cos If he slept and woke up, his thoughts anized the next day Chi-Woo closed his eyes, so he couldn’t catch that the paradise was slowly but steadily decreasing faster than before Haas right about the reason the holy water was decreasing, but it was also because the club he dropped in the spring pool was continuously absorbing it
The next day arrived When Chi-Woo woke up, he found to his shock that there was very little holy water left Since the water had decreased dramatically, all the fish had disappeared
‘We should leave now’ Even though Chi-Woo had grown significantly, he was still hu, he needed to eat and drink Considering the amount of water left and the distance they had to travel, they needed to leave today Afterthe decision, there was no need for hi today Then he got ready to head out
Hawa blinked several ti his reaction yesterday, Hawa had expected theot ready to head out as well Chi-Woo first collected as ed to fill seven bottles with all the water without wasting a single drop He also packed the re food like fruits and redients that couldn’t be easily found, and Chi-Woo had no intentions to leave anything behind
‘It feels like it got a bit heavier?’ Chi-Woo thought it was a bit strange as he lifted the club; it had grown heavy like a tree cos and checking the rown co in the sanctuary, but he felt refreshed that they could finally get out It would have been a lie if he said he didn’t feel a bit dejected, but he had no trouble following his decision because he’d been counting each day until they had to leave ever since he made a contract with La Bella
There was only one thing left to do: to bait thetheir guard And soon after, they felt that so was off The monster should have rushed towards them as soon as they climbed up However, it was nowhere to be seen even after they climbed up another floor, and another, and another Even when they reached a floor they had never been to before, there was still no trace of the mud monster
“I can hear the sound of air…wind” Hawa closed her eyes and pointed in a specific direction “This way”
Chi-Woo obediently followed Hawa’s lead, but he couldn’t focus; he kept looking around for the mud monster He had unfinished business with it Why, for what reason…
He didn’t kno long they had been walking for They reached a wide area where the darkness subsided as light began to seep in Hawa stopped walking and frowned at the figure in front of her In contrast, Chi-Woo’s expression brightened up; thein thefor hiht but cal with fearsoy
‘This is…’ This here the mud monster and Chi-Woo would have their final battle Chi-Woo’s opponent had chosen their arena, so it was only right for hilanced at Chi-Woo to see whether he was going to run away or fight it
A hand suddenly sprung from the monster’s body and pointed at Hawa Then it pointed its thu preparations to fight, was startled It seeo
“…What?” Her voice even came out raspy because of how surprised she was
However, Chi-Woo calo”
“What?”
“Hawa, you should go”
“Wait”
“Go If you don’t want to die”
Hawa flinched because Chi-Woo’s expression had becoaze shi+fted between Chi-Woo and the , still reeling from the shock
“I,” Chi-Woo quietly said as he dropped his bag and war at the monster “Will surpass you today”
Hawa turned back She had no idea why Chi-Woo was acting like this, or what had transpired between them Still, Chi-Woo’s serious expression as he said those wordscool
