Chapter 297 Part1 (2/2)

[Wait a sec... A gate!?]

”Heup!”

Suddenly, a gate appeared beneath Kratia and Prince's feet... Because it was such high level magic, Feotane hadn't expected it at all and was shocked. The moment he stretched out his hand, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo used the only skill that he could use in this frozen s.p.a.ce, Rule of Bone's Self-Destruct skill.

[Critical Hit!]

He had converted the entire area's mana into lightning, so it would be effective against even the likes of a level 8 Archmage! ...Especially if both Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and Jin were to sacrifice their bodies in the process!

[Kuhahk!]

The Archmage was swept up in the blast, the huge explosion caused the entire area's mana to shake. Feotane felt nauseous, as he hadn't felt pain in such a long time, and hurriedly flew into the air; at that moment, Kratia and Prince had already disappeared. Of course, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and Jin's appearances had disappeared as well due to the explosion!

[How could this happen...]

The Archmage looked around, though there was nothing left inside, and muttered in shock. He had lived for quite a long time, but he wouldn't be able to forget that attack. To think he would go as far as to sacrifice his horse as well to save his comrades!

No, what was even more surprising was the fact that his comrades could create a Gate and use it to escape, as well as the fact that he had been so grievously injured by a level 6 hero.

[Let's say that I sustained this much damage because it was Self-Destruct, but the gate... No, it's possible to create a temporary gate if they used an item. d.a.m.n it, I can't interfere with G.o.d's subs.p.a.ce. Did G.o.d give them that item herself? They really got me!]

Eventually, he came to a reasonable conclusion. Honestly, the correct answer was that Lee s.h.i.+n Woo told Rem that the Bone Gate was ready from his (Rem's) inventory, and Rem had activated the gate underneath their feet, sending Kratia and Prince to another place, but he did come to a similar conclusion.

[It's been a long time since I've seen someone so talented that they could be a candidate for a general. I was going to recommend him to the 12 generals, but oh well.]

To make sure, Feotane used the artifact that was set up in this s.p.a.ce and scanned the entire area, but there weren't any traces of anyone remaining. He could truly say that they got him good.

[Keuk. They got me. How long has it been... my wounds are worse than I expected. I have to go and treat them immediately.]

He muttered to himself and raised his head to gather mana, but the entire area's mana was jumbled with lightning or chilly air, so there was nothing here he could use. If he wanted to restore his body (a Lich's body), then elemental mana wouldn't cut it. He needed pure mana.

[Tch. I'll treat myself and then come back...]

It seemed like he didn't really like it, as he muttered and left.

At that moment, a torrent of mana swelled within the air, and Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and Jin's new bodies formed. It was truly a mysterious and frightening scene.

[The Invisible Heart skill has become Lv4. All stats have increased by 3.]

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who had been completely resurrected, saw that d.a.m.n message, gritted his teeth, and muttered.

”d.a.m.n it, I promised myself that I would never die again...”

”We got out of that situation alive, so it's fine!”

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and Jin's Invisible Heart and Blessing of Death possessed a strange option, and whether this was good or bad, he didn't know.

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and Jin could choose when they would revive, so long as it was within several minutes, and it really helped in situations like this, where dying just once wouldn't let them overcome danger.

Even now, the Archmage hadn't realized that they weren't really dead and had left the area!

”But what happened to Prince? I thought it'd be fine, so long as I could save Kratia and Rem. Wasn't it limited to two?”

”Is it really the time to curious about that? Let's go. We have to go as fast as we can!”

”Nope. Jin, we have to find something here before we leave.”

”What exactly are you trying to find in this urgent situation... Hey, it's not that, is it? Please tell me it's not.”

Jin had been pressing him, but when he saw Lee s.h.i.+n Woo moving so quickly, he realized what the answer was and was shocked.

”Are you going to take that surveillance item!?”

”Of course I am. Do you know why the Archmage wasn't able to find us, even though he activated the artifact?”

”I don't know!”

”Because Kratia succeeded in hacking into it! So if we can't take that along with us, it would be such a waste that I would lose sleep over it!”

”You can't sleep, you're undead!”

[Lv8 Huginn's Eye] [2]

”I found it!”

”Hey!”

When Feotane Von Seldin had activated the artifact at the very last moment, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo had followed the flow of mana and realized where the artifact was hidden within the facility. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo wouldn't lose that artifact again, and the moment he greedily grasped it, Jin lifted him onto his back and ran out of the facility. At the speed of light!

Exactly 10 minutes later, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and Jin were completely healed from the injuries they'd sustained from Self-Destruct, while Feotane Von Seldin had also returned to the facility. He found that the artifact that controlled the facility was gone without a trace, and was shocked for the third time that day.

[1] T/N: Apparently, I need to be more specific when referring to the 12 generals, as there are other generals in the Empire.

[2] T/N: Reference to one of Odin's ravens from Norse mythology.
