“An angel…?”

‘It looks like you hurt your head.’

I came to that conclusion after seeing Jiyeon Lee suddenly looking for an angel after seeing me.

As expected, Lee Ji-yeon is covered in scars. There was hardened blood on his head, as if he had been hit.

That’s probably why I’m losing my mind and saying nonsense.

“Angel… Can I use your house…?”

‘First, start with treatment.’

“Ah… I don’t want to die…”

‘I’m not dead…’

Since we couldn’t leave the injured person unattended, we left the lake.

Jiyeon Lee was lifted up by the wings of the sky.

We transported it carefully for fear of injury.

Lee Ji-yeon was placed on the lawn that had been heavily sprinkled with purification magic.

“Ah, ah…?”

It was then.

Lee Ji-yeon’s dazed eyes became clear.

“What, what…”

Jiyeon Lee, who was staring at me blankly, suddenly started shaking.

Her eyes fluttered. He rolled his eyes as if he didn’t know where to focus his gaze.

Then his face turned bright red.

– Wiggle wiggle

And it even wriggles like a caterpillar.

Seeing any further symptoms, I narrowed my brows and gently stopped Lee Ji-yeon’s struggles with the feathers of my heavenly wings.

“That… no, over there…”

‘Wait a minute, just be still-‘

“Oh, some clothes…”

‘—Have you… clothes?’

A thought suddenly occurred to me and my movements became rigid.

Jiyeon Lee is covering her eyes with both hands.

…Where did I come from?

I came out of the lake.

In what condition did it go into the lake…

After gaping for a moment, I took a quick look.

Actually, there is no such thing.

Because the wind was blowing against my bare skin.

‘ah.’

I’m not wearing clothes right now.

All it wears are the wings of the sky. There is no confession necklace or clothes.

I sheepishly scratched my head and grabbed the clothes that were on the rock over there.

.

.

.

It took less than a minute to get dressed.

All I had to do was shake off the moisture from my body and head and put on some clothes.

In that moment, Jiyeon Lee must have come to her senses and was fanning her face.

‘……’

I think my face is red too.

What does this look like at first glance? There is no shame like this.

Moreover, there were ugly burns. What if I feel bad…

‘What if my likeability rating has fallen because of this… I have to ask for Seo-yul’s favor too, but it’s already…’

No luck.

What are you going to encounter here?

[hello]

“Ah, ah! yes yes…! hello! That… junior Lee Ha-yul?”

[yes]

[Lee Ji-yeon senior]

“That… Mmm! Thank you for accepting me. I almost fell off defenseless.”

I corrected my crumpled expression and approached Jiyeon Lee.

Lee Ji-yeon, who had been staring at the distant mountain without finding a place to place her eyes, looked surprised and greeted me.

…Judging by the reaction, it seems like the first impression was that it was a bad one.

It was around this time that I was sighing deeply again.

“…Ah! This is not the time…!”

Suddenly, Jiyeon Lee opened her eyes and stood up. At the same time, her eyebrows narrowed slightly.

This is because the injury has expanded slightly.

[Do not move too vigorously]

[The wound has opened]

[You need to recover a bit]

“No, I don’t have time for that!”

Despite my dissuasion, Jiyeon Lee looked in all directions with an urgent expression.

It looked like he was looking for an exit to get out of the dungeon at any moment.

An ominous feeling came over me at that sight.

Thanks to the power of observation, the degree of injury can be accurately measured.

Jiyeon Lee is full of scars.

A wound that was broken and broken after being hit by something, and a large cut as if it had been cut by a large sword. All kinds of other injuries.

It is not a fatal wound. Superhumans have strong bodies, unlike ordinary people.

Also, Lee Ji-yeon is the manifestation of Mount Tai.

The earth controlled by Taishan moves in a variety of ways.

If it rises up from the ground and blocks it, it is a solid barrier, and if it is wrapped around the body, it is an armor of inferno.

If you hold it in your hand and swing it, it is a blunt weapon, and if you make it thick and block attacks, it is a shield.

Is that all?

Dirt, rocks, miscellaneous grass, and vegetation rooted in the ground. Creatures that step on him, etc…

The earth is full of life.

The manifestation of Mount Tai deals with the earth. It also recognizes and deals with the vitality that belongs to the earth.

Vitality is the source of life.

If you drag him in and slam him into your body, your body’s recovery will be activated to the extreme.

If you train it to the extreme and reach its expansion ability, you can even reach super regeneration.

It is Taesan whose defense and recovery power are at that level.

Also, when it comes to talent, Lee Ji-yeon is one of few in the family’s history.

Lee Ji-yeon has accumulated injuries of this magnitude.

Even now, he is unconsciously drawing the vitality of the earth and recovering, but the speed is quite slow.

More than anything…

‘Addicted?’

It is not just a simple injury, but poison seeps into every part of the body.

The moment I observed the miasma, the back of my neck felt numb.

Dangerous. It’s not some kind of poison.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that the reason why wound recovery is delayed is because vitality neutralizes toxins.

‘…poison?’

The tip suddenly stiffened and seemed to be sending a crisis signal.

Unstable.

In the back of my head, an idea that shouldn’t happen… that couldn’t possibly happen appeared.

“Two-headed poisonous dragon.”

It is an imagination that should never happen.

The name of the monster at the center of that imagination was spit out from Jiyeon Lee’s mouth.

“Right now, a two-headed poisonous dragon has been born as a evil spirit and is running rampant outside.”

[What a piece of shit]

“Yes?“

[mistake]

Jiyeon Lee blinked her eyes blankly, meaningless as she urgently looked in all directions.

He seems to be wondering if he heard wrong.

“Just…”

[Let’s get out faster than that]

“Uh… Yes, that’s right.”

Jiyeon Lee stood up while tilting her head as if something was strange.

If what she said is true, this is usually not a serious situation.

This is not the time to just take a bath.

We need to get out quickly and figure out the situation.

“Obviously I fell from the sky…”

And then I tilted my head and looked at the sky.

You may be looking for an exit, but unfortunately there is no exit.

The entrance and exit of the magical lake open randomly. The cycle is approximately three to four days apart.

I just heard about Jiyeon Lee’s situation. While being chased by a two-headed poisonous dragon, he jumped into a ravine that appeared to be the entrance to a dungeon.

Aside from the fact that he has amazing guts, the question is how he was able to enter the magic lake.

‘…the entrance opened at that moment.’

Thanks to having the power of space, I was able to read space… a dungeon, a type of subspace.

The entrance to the dungeon had just opened.

Meanwhile, Lee Ji-yeon was spit out and fell.

And, immediately the entrance closed.

If you think that way, there is one question.

Ji-yeon Lee said that a two-headed poisonous dragon followed her, but why didn’t it enter the dungeon?

Did they assume he was dead after seeing him jump into the ravine?

Or maybe they followed along the same way… but luckily the entrance was closed and they couldn’t get in…

When I thought about that, my face immediately turned white.

If she were not careful, the two-headed poisonous dragon that followed Lee Ji-yeon would have fallen from the sky.

If that happened… I didn’t want to even imagine it.

[I know the exit]

[Follow me]

At my words, a blush spread across Jiyeon Lee’s face.

It is not wrong to say that you can open the exit first.

I turned and walked away. Ji-yeon Lee followed behind me.

The destination is the cave behind the waterfall.

‘Even if I go out, I have to take Suho’s proof with me.’

I went around the lake and came to the vicinity of the waterfall.

Because the waterfall was calm, the water droplets did not splash.

However, in the process of crossing that bridge, you inevitably have to hit a waterfall.

I use wind magic…

– Ugh…!

[uh…]

[thank you]

…Before the wind magic was unleashed, the water spirit moved and changed the trajectory of the water stream.

There was a large hole in the waterfall, and the cave inside was clearly exposed.

The water spirit clucked near his finger. I smiled at the cute will shown and gently stroked it with my fingertips.

The water spirit disappeared after a while, saying it was satisfied.

I jumped up and entered the cave.

“That…?”

Jiyeon Lee tilted her head when she saw the lumpy object inside.

Inside was a stone altar.

It was an altar with geometric patterns on the outside, and on top of it was a cube shaped like a hexahedron.

The material was transparent like glass.

It is full of warm yellow light, as if light is trapped inside.

One of the main purposes of this outing is to prove that Suho has not been unlocked.

I gave him a strange look.

‘…will the ban be lifted?’

It is ‘proof of protection that has not been unlocked.’

Once you have it, whether you can use it is a separate issue.

The proof of protection depends on the owner.

The artifact is recognized as a user based on its own judgment. What if it is not recognized? From that moment on, it ceases to be an artifact and becomes a piece of collectible art or painting.

As I recall, the condition is a disposition.

I remember the status window’s explanation that it is recognized as a user based on a strict selection of beings belonging to goodness.

In the original work, the first time we got Suho’s proof was in episode 9, ‘Agwi’.

This is an episode where good is thrown by the wayside and a malicious route is splendidly pioneered.

Naturally, I haven’t been able to use any of Suho’s proof of his tendency to be good. Therefore, at this time, I just sold it on the black market.

‘Can I…?’

I am not confident.

I only read that it considers good tendencies, but I don’t know if they actually accept it or to what extent they have good tendencies.

More than anything, I wonder if I belong to the line.

To be honest, I wasn’t a good person.

Like really good people, I wasn’t someone who could step up for others without thinking about my own losses or without hesitation.

‘…Let’s put it away for now.’

In any case, acquisition is acquisition.

With a complicated expression, he walked forward and picked up the cube.

‘If I can’t use it… I should return the arm and regenerate it, dispose of it at an auction… or give it to someone else─’

– Ugh!

The moment I picked it up.

The cube trembled.

‘what.’

Suddenly my thoughts changed. The past passed by like a panorama in my mind.

It seems like something is looking into those memories.

Childhood, fire, daycare, bullying, fire, emissions, society, convenience store, traffic accident, bridge…

Umm…

This world, the curse, the poetry cradle, growth, precious people.

hmm…?

Sifnaha, Aerus, civilians, denial, determination, action, death, relief…

…uhh…

– Clap.

It sounded like a lock opening.

It wasn’t a sound. I just had that feeling.

As soon as I felt that sensation, the cube melted.

The cube became countless particles of light.

Yellow particles flew into the rainwater and stuck to the empty left shoulder.

The halo of light that clung to my shoulder gradually lengthened downward.

It felt like numerous fireflies had clung to my left arm.

Soon the particles of light dispersed.

Instead, I felt a sensation.

Something hangs in the empty space.

A prosthetic hand decorated with golden lines on a snow-white and rough body…

‘…Surely it has been unlocked?’

Simple as this?

With a dumbfounded expression, I tapped the prosthetic hand that was stuck to where my left arm used to be.
