traces (2)

    "Hey, look at this picture."

    "It''s a mushroom."

    "Hey, who drew mushrooms like this on a mural?"

    Choi Soo-young snorted as an excuse not to eat seeds.

    Not just pictures.

    "Ugh, I wrote a nightmare. It''s a complete pit of lust. right?"

    "Ugh."

    Suho didn''t even pretend to listen to Choi Soo-young''s pin-zan.

    "Wow, that''s amazing."

    "Isn''t this like an ancient mural?"

    Junho and Dongsu, who joined after collecting bloodstone, chatted while looking at the mural.

    "Who wrote it?"

    uh? Here''s my brother''s name.

    - I miss Junho.

    "It''s true ."

    His gaze naturally turned to Suho.

    "Are you my brother?"

    "Ugh."

    Dong-su, who glanced at Su-ho, who remained silent, soon found decisive evidence.

    Look here!

    - Park Soo-ho is here.

    "No, bro, why are you so childish?"

    "Are you Sibi?"

    "Hey, Sibirano. I also sometimes shed tears at dawn when I feel sensitive. haha.

    As Dong-soo said

    I wrote this when I was in the midst of being lonely and sensitive.

    about 700 years ago.

    "Everyone, be quiet."

    Suho looked around and fixed his gaze on the top of the rocky mountain. The highest area in the area.

    immediately kicked up the floor.

    Papa Pat!

    Seo Min-soo opened his mouth wide at the sight of Su-ho leaping like a flight.

    "Get a job! Get a job!"

    At the top of the rocky mountain, Suho hit each Lizard man who was looking for a job without notice.

    "Stand out."

    "Cook!"

    They were Lizardmen wearing armor and holding good spears, but they could not withstand the fist of the guardian. They died in various ways, such as those who were hit in the head, those who were pushed and fell to the bottom of a rocky mountain, and those who were stabbed to death by a stolen spear.

    ; Level up!

    "Whoa."

    It''s graded up.

    When he reached level 20, his stats went up significantly and he had small convulsions all over his body.

    But now is not the time to be concerned about the return of the sealed power a little.

    "Hmm."

    From the top of the mountain, I looked around with a panoramic view.

    Over the wide forest, a gray fog surrounded it like a wall.

    An artificial look no matter how you look at it.

    "Is this your place of return?"

    Choi Soo-young asked if she had been following me as she climbed the mountain.

    no.

    "Then, what are the texts below?"

    "It''s a sign of me trying not to forget my writing."

    I also remember this rocky mountain.

    I would have stayed here for about 5 years.

    At that time, it was the leopards, not the Lizardmen, who were taking this place as their territory.

    "What are those mists over there?"

    "It''s the end of the dungeon. It''s a dead end."

    " ."

    Suho looked quietly, looking east, west, north and south.

    There was the sea over there, and there was a fruit tree colony over there.

    There was a high mountain down there, and there was always snow at the top.

    "It''s a place I know, but ."

    Right now, everything is blocked by a gray foggy wall, and the only dungeon we can reach is limited to the rocky mountain.

    Suho calmed his confused mind.

    I thought that once the gate was connected, I could turn my back and go back to the planet I came from. I was hoping to see the guys I loved again.

    Feeling the guardian''s presence, the Lizardmen who had been spread all over the forest were flocking in bright red.

    There were no traces of his friends anywhere on the land where his traces remained.

    thought no

    "Are you like a boss?"

    A red Lizardman twice the size of the others.

    He wears a necklace woven of animal claws and wears the skull of a beast with long fangs as a helmet.

    " ."

    Thousands of years of existence.

    The beasts in the herd have seen their descendants for generations, and Suho has buried many of his friends during that time.

    A familiar skull shape ignited the guardian''s eyes.

    "Chew!"

    Because he''s a boss, his tongue is a bit long.

    The guy threw a spear at Suho.

    Whoo! widely!

    After hitting the fiercely flying spear to avoid it, Suho pierced his body at the same speed he was running.

    "Chew!"

    It got entangled with the Lizardman Chief and rolled a few laps.

    Koo! bang!

    As if there was no need for a spear, the Lizardman chief came face to face with each other.

    The fist went back and forth several times. The guy''s tail was used only for running on the ground, so he tightened the body of Suho.

    Whoa!

    Suho twisted his body with all his might, but it was not easy to get out because of his rubbery body.

    "Ugh!"

    He took a deep breath and pounded the boy''s torso.

    bang! bang!

    "Chew!"

    The guy, who was moaning in pain, stopped tightening his torso and backed away. As if to do it properly, he held out the spear his subordinate was giving him, and he felt a different prayer from the Lizardman chieftain''s body.

    "Chew!"

    "Woooooooooooooooooooo!"

    At the cry of the Lizardman chieftain, the Lizardman warriors in armor pushed their spears and surrounded the guardian. The Orcs still guaranteed 1:1, but the Lizardman didn''t have anything like that.

    When Suho was besieged, Choi Soo-young and others started to help. But there was something faster than that.

    "Mmm! bruise!

    Baekgu, who was running around and following Suho, threw himself at him faster than anyone else.

    Whoops!

    Baekgu''s body was like a white flame and it permeated Suho''s body.

    "Kurre."

    Suho''s black hair turned white, and hair was clinging all over his body. Its snout is elongated and sharp teeth stick out. The long tail shook as if threatening the Lizard Man, and the claws were firmly planted in the ground.

    At only level 19, the 5-star boss, the Orc King, was also a hunting guardian.

    A four-star Lizardman chieftain.

    Kang, Kwajik! thud!

    The hard skin of the Lizard Man was torn off by the guard''s claws that he wielded at random.

    "Chwii!"

    The Lizardman warriors fell like autumn leaves.

    "Chujik!"

    The only thing the boss had to encourage was to spit blood in one or two rooms and collapse.

    "Ch !"

    Suho grabbed the boss''s neck.

    Jigsaw.

    Sharp claws pierced through the Lizardman Chieftain''s skin.

    Suho''s opposite hand took off the helmet he was wearing.

    There is no way to know whose skull the leopard has already died and has become a skeleton.

    Did you see any gaps in Suho, who fell in love for a moment?

    "Chur."

    The Lizardman chief, who was about to launch a counterattack, had his neck broken with just Suho''s strength.

    ; Level up!

    It seems that the experience points were full while catching dozens of Lizardman warriors and chieftains.

    Suho put away the unhappy message and looked down at his skull.

    brother.

    Perhaps because Suho''s atmosphere was different from usual, the party couldn''t talk easily.

    " ."

    I thought I was used to birth and death.

    "Whoa."

    It''s just worn out and dulled over the years.

    After returning to Earth, I was able to feel the emotions I have now by meeting my fellow countrymen, meeting my family, and being cared for.

    ''I lost a colleague.''

    Suho has always defined himself as a loser and an outsider.

    Thousands of years are too heavy to be called a relationship and a memory that passes by as if meeting on a travel destination.

    So I hesitated to come back.

    I came back with the feeling of leaving my second hometown, and the gate is connected again.

    I waited with excitement, but the result .

    A door portal, not a bridge.

    The land returned is only a very small corner.

    There, let alone friends, it is occupied by red lizard humans that I have never seen before.

    The planet . No, my friends .

    The question biting his tail made his head complicated and only his mind complicated.

    ????????????????

    The death of the boss became the key, and the exit portal opened.

    Suho woke up from his thoughts.

    I see people looking at me with concern.

    "What are you doing without taking your bloodstone?"

    Yes? Are you okay?

    "What wouldn''t be okay?"

    These are the years that filled the dull and worn out heart with a firm will.

    The mentality that has been crushed by the years is stronger than anyone else.

    Sadness and worries can be put off for a while.

    Because nothing has been confirmed yet.

    "Brother, it''s done."

    okay. Let''s go."

    Papa!

    After completing the dungeon attack, there were a group of people I had never seen before.

    2 hours 30 minutes. It doesn''t seem that difficult, is it?

    what?

    "Ahaha, I didn''t even introduce this. This is the Immigration Department of the 37th Squadron belonging to the Management Bureau. This is our team."

    There were 20 more people behind Immigration.

    All of them armed with their own equipment in the latest battlesuits looked like they were about to attack the dungeon at any moment.

    "With whose permission are you here?"

    Yes?

    At Suho''s harsh words, Lee Min-seong''s face turned red.

    It''s a treat here.

    When the atmosphere seemed to be getting worse, Choi Soo-young came out.

    "This chief. The investigation is over. Let''s go outside first."

    "Huh, really."

    Lee Min-sung and his team grumbled and followed Choi Soo-young to the entrance.

    Seo Min-soo looked into Su-ho''s eyes and said cautiously.

    "Well, you worked hard."

    "Seo also suffered."

    "Oh, yes. I guess I''ll have to go report it to the management office right away.

    Suho shrugged.

    go.

    Is there anything else you can do to give yourself permission?

    "There will be four members of the portal management team left. To manage the equipment, that is the minimum number of people... ."

    He seemed to know what Deputy Director Seo Min-soo was worried about.

    "Don''t worry. I will treat you well as a guest."

    Oh, thank you. If the Guardian Guild hires an equipment technician, we will immediately take over and withdraw."

    "Junho, did you hear me?"

    "Okay. I will post a job announcement."

    "Let''s get some rest."

    Suho, who did not show any fatigue even after clearing the dungeon in succession, suggested a rest first. Suho was lying on a flat under a large tree in the center of Namuseong and closed his eyes.

    ''Are you okay?''

    I don''t know anything about returnees or coordinates.

    It is unknown whether one dungeon with only one corner left is connected and the end, or whether a bridge portal will follow.

    ''Let''s sigh.''

    There is no answer if you think about it and think about it.

    There is nothing more stupid than solving an unanswered problem.

    Suho put his arm on a pillow and closed his eyes.

    Baekgu and the two wolves approached him and crouched around him.

    wii ing.

    The tree spirits scattered throughout the wooden castle all flocked to the trees on the bench and cling to them as if they were sleeping.

    "Hey, let''s get some rest."

    "Yeah, then."

    Junho looked at his older brother, who was lying still, looking at him.

    ''It was hard.''

    *

    "No, Park Soo-ho, aren''t you saying that person is too far-fetched?"

    Sooyoung was quietly listening to Lee Min-seong''s cheers.

    I was treated like a nerd in front of everyone on my team, so I can''t stand it if I don''t get angry like that.

    I pretended to listen to what was annoying to understand the position.

    "Ugh, do I really need to help such a naive bastard?"

    "You don''t have to help."

    Lee Min-seong smirked at Sooyoung''s words.

    "Huh, how does a level 5 guild clear that dungeon with Gara?"

    "The guild will take care of it."

    "Ttt, the guilds'' greed . Uh huh, if you can''t clear the dungeon like that, and if the dungeon explodes, don''t you think you''re going to ask the Ministry of National Defense to hit you again?

    I don''t think that''s necessarily the case, but swimming was roughly the same.

    "It may not be."

    "You have to change the law. How long will the merchants only ship their ships? . fish oil."

    Lee Min-seong brought up the topic after cursing the Korean government for a long time, which is being swayed by mercenary companies.

    "But have you finished the investigation?"

    Yeah.

    "Is this a random portal? Or is it a place of return?"

    " ."

    Choi Soo-young frowned.

    The evidence indicating that it is a place of return is too convincing.

    Still, Suho''s reaction caught my heart.

    "No, is Team Leader Choi like this too? The results will come out soon, can you tell me one thing in advance?"

    "I think it''s a place of return."

    Lee Min-seong snorted as he heard Sooyoung''s vague words as a sure answer.

    "Sheesh! All the fuss trembles, but I am only a dungeon returner."

    The 2nd Lee Seong-woo is a dog horn. the dog will laugh
