Chapter 224. Seven Rooms (6) (1/2)
Chapter 224 Seven Rooil raised the reliquia, Ha the center of the altar hidden by the ingot revealed The reliquia had been pushi+ng down a button-like shape before Dalgil lifted it, and it was now popping out Then they heard faint noises like a cogwheel turning, and Hawa looked around to see where the noises ca from the fourth co!” Hawa shouted, and several members of the expedition team looked around
“I don’t see a door! The door leading to the next compartment…!”
The expedition team looked behind them with dazed looks on their faces As Hawa said, they didn’t see a door on any part of the wall It was unbelievable The door they had clearly seen fro before they entered had disappeared without a trace as soon as they entered this rooil shouted at the teah, but it was too late then Bam! The door automatically closed and became absorbed into the wall The room was now perfectly closed off without a way out Moreover, the lights suddenly went off, and their surroundings turned dark Soon, it beca Chi-Woo tried to reht his night vision had i his stay in the cave under the Evalaya volcano, and his eyesight in general had gotten better, but he was as good as blind at the moment All he could see was darkness, and all he could feel was his coainst his
Before they could think of what to do, they heard the walls on both sides crumble It happened everywhere until the room fell still Chi-Woo didn’t feel or sense any other presence, and his synesthesia and extrasensory perceptions didn’t catch anything All he could hear was his co And after an oraze the back of his neck as he clutched onto his club It felt as if a sticky jelly soaked in water had flown past hi out “Ahhhh!”
It was Bogle’s voice
“Bogle!”
“What’s going on!”
Dalgil and Ru Hiana shouted, but Bogle didn’t answer He simply screamed his head off and floundered around with a deeply distressed voice
“Bogle! Bogle…kuh!” Dalgil was furoaned Soon, there were screa froling So, and the team formation was completely broken
“Who is it!”
“Don’t push!+ I said don’t push!+”
There was coled Some yanked at his pants and pushed hiain his balance in the end, it was hard for hi his club a couple of ti it around like a great windmill without care for anyone around him if he could, but he didn’t; the possibility that he would injure his coht space if he did that Further Airi with one hand, he needed to be even more careful
Unable to see and with none of his special senses working, Chi-Woo felt as if his hands and feet were bound Time continued to tick in his helplessness
“Everyone…back away…!” It was then Chi-Woo heard Dalgil’s voice froether…! And run away for now…!”
Usually, team members shouldn’t move or run away by themselves and break the team formation Not only was it a cowardly act, but it was also such a taboo action that a God ht even cancel their contract with a hero if they did so Still, there were always exceptions, such as when the expedition tea that the situation was hopeless, and the whole teail shouted at theave his co hurry past hient voice shouted from some distance “This way!” It was Hawa “A wall! A hole appeared on the wall!”
Hearing this, all the expedition team members scattered Chi-Woo instinctively chose a direction and ran straight He felt like he had stepped on so in the process, but reached a wall in the end When Chi-Woo stuck his body close to the wall and walked quickly, he felt hi inward As Hawa said, there were holes They seehts turned off and the walls crumbled
“Ms Hawa?” Chi-Woo called out nervously, still unable to see anything, but no reply ca Hawa’s voice, but had he picked the wrong direction? Nevertheless, Chi-Woo didn’t have the nerve to search anywhere else He noticed that the voices behind him had quietened, and it seereat of a risk to ju Above all, Dalgil had told them to scatter and run away When they couldn’t , they needed to follow the captain’s words Only then could they survive And because Chi-Woo felt so in his direction from inside the darkness, Chi-Woo went further inside the hole He ran with Airi in his ar and running straight without stopping to turn back
A while later, after running continuously in the dark, Chi-Woo suddenly felt a strong shock He felt around until his hands found a crevice Following his instincts, Chi-Woo pushed hard, and the wall opened froot knocked down by inertia, but quickly pushed himself off the floor and raised his head
There was noin the room, but the atmosphere was different froiven Chi-Woo until noas that it was a strange and holy place, all painted in ivory white But this place was like a prison Everywhere was dark and dreary-looking, and the light constantly flickered like it was going to go off any moment
‘A door that I ca that there was a door to exit this tilanced behind him and saw that the space past the door he caht in this room seemed unable to penetrate it Chi-Woo quietly closed the door and leaned against the wall Instead of i out, he inhaled and exhaled deeply
Though he had survived, the expedition tealanced at Airi as she liht deeply Three possible options io back and check the situation in the fourth rooain The second was to wait patiently in this room And the third was to leave this room and wander around Chi-Woo worried his bottom lip between his teeth; he didn’t feel confident in any of the options
Then Chi-Woo searched through his belongings and felt a die in his grip If he threw the World’s Milestone, ithiot at least five stars Chi-Woo agonized for a long long while, but in the end, he left the die be He had pro to trust Chi-Woo one last tie to use it More iot less than three stars after rolling the die
“Haaa…” Chi-Woo slouched He thought things were going well, but he was now at a coain Still, he couldn’t stand here in despair forever
‘Maybe I should wait a bit and go out…’ While wondering between the second and third options, Chi-Woo felt the sroaning softly and wiggling slightly, Airi opened her eyes Chi-Woo’s eyes widened
“Ms Airi? Are you awake? Ms Airi!”
“Huh…Uh…?” Airi’s eyes rolled around, and she looked a bit stunned by the situation She see where she was and why she was alone with Chi-Woo
“Ms Airi, I know you just woke up, but the situation isn’t very good right noill explain to you what happened…” Thus, Chi-Woo explained everything, and Airi’s confusion faded She was also a warrior who had survived multiple battlefields No matter how bad her condition was, she placed the most importance on the expedition
“So…when you heard the walls crumble in the fourth room…it didn’t crumble in only one spot…”
“Yes, that seems to be the case”
Airi mumbled in a very hoarse voice, and Chi-Woo nodded
“Dalgil told you all to run…and you each went into a hole…cough, cough!” Airi broke into a coughing fit
“Ms Airi, don’t talk Your condition…”
“No, that’s not iht now” Airi shook her head and told Chi-Woo to put her down Then she forcefully got up, but collapsed again after only a couple steps She needed to do so in such a dire situation, but her body wasn’t listening to her right now
“Ah…!” Airi squeezed her eyes shut at the pain shooting through her body Chi-Woo hurriedly poured exorcism mana into her, and she looked a bit better
“…Sorry…”
