I headed to Mount Hua.

I didn’t come back right away; I had to wait as long as possible until sunrise before returning.

That was because I recalled the words that moving at night was best avoided if possible.

Getting back inside wasn’t difficult.

I remembered what Gubong had done last time, so I had already prepared by obtaining some ground turtle shell powder in advance.

The problem was finding the right location to enter.

‘Here.’

That, too, wasn’t difficult.

It was clearly visible.

I narrowed my eyes, observing the distortion in space.

‘I couldn’t see it before, but now…’

At first, I had to concentrate with my mind’s eye open just to barely catch a glimpse. But now, for some reason, it was strangely clear.

Was there a particular turning point that caused this change? Or perhaps…

‘Did something happen to the barrier?’

Doubts piled up, but I didn’t dwell on them. This wasn’t the time to be worrying about such things.

Tap, tap.@@novelbin@@

I sprinkled a little of the powder on my body.

As I had felt last time, it was an unpleasant experience every time I did it.

‘…Ground turtle shell powder, seriously….’

It felt like rubbing crushed dead skin onto my body.

It was irritating as hell, but there was no other choice, so I endured it and kept sprinkling.

After tapping some onto myself a few times, I turned to sprinkle it on Cheonma as well.

“…I’m not doing that.”

Cheonma, unusually, recoiled with visible disgust.

“What do you mean you’re not doing it?”

Baffled, I grabbed her arm.

“I don’t want to.”

Smack!
