EP.349
Immediately after jumping into the gate, Sihu Lee thought about that for a moment.
‘Am I going to die here?’
I feel like my body is floating.
We were so focused on saving people that we ended up under unexpected siege.
A dangerous situation even for skilled heroes.
I jumped in with the feeling that it was all up to me, but of course there was no way there was a plan behind it. There is nothing good about throwing yourself into the gate in the first place.
All we can do now is improvise and try our best to escape. But why? I didn’t feel that much anxiety. I don’t know where my confidence comes from, but I feel like I can get through it.
“…”
Li Sihu opened his eyes and immediately looked around.
“Yes?”
But the scenery is very strange.
“Is this inside the gate…?”
I’m floating in a strange space-like space that I don’t know if it’s purple or pink. I don’t even know what happened to gravity. I feel like I’m floating.
Lee Si-hoo turned his head and looked in all directions and found what seemed to be the floor.
“Anit!”
White monsters are crowded together on the floor below. They were moving somewhere, and when I looked at the end, there was something that looked like a gate.
Monsters are moving in that direction.
‘Could it be that a monster comes across like this…? no. ‘I’ve never heard of anything like this.’
Monsters and gates have been studied to some extent. Everything I am seeing now is unfamiliar. Things you’ve never heard of.
No matter what happens, there is hope.
If you see monsters going outside through the gate over there, you are saying that you too can go out in a similar way. Just learning about it gave me a surge of confidence.
The moment I turned my head again to analyze this space.
“uh…?”
Beyond.
It caught my eye that there was something like a huge wall beyond this strange space-like space.
But when I looked closely, I saw that it wasn’t a wall or anything.
“Cube?”
A huge octahedron that looks like a diamond. It feels like a special cube. That huge thing with all kinds of patterns engraved on its surface was standing tall beyond.
ㅡJiying.
It emits strange colors… but the more you look at it, the more overwhelming it becomes.
“…!”
It was so huge that Lee Si-hu took his breath away for a moment. How could something so big exist? As I focused on my eyes while feeling such doubts, I was able to find out another fact.
ㅡJiying.
The perimeter of the octahedron. White monsters were ‘appearing’ just below it.
“Could it be…? Is that strange cube or something sending monsters?”
The moment I thought about it.
“Quoooooo!”
“KEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
-Boo!
The monsters must have noticed and started flying towards me while making a roaring sound.
“Ahh!”
If you look closely, you will see that there are not only monsters down there. Those with wings up there. And on the other side, guys crawling on all fours are each advancing towards the gate.
“What should I do?!”
I feel like I’m floating in the air right now. There is no way you can move in this state of weightlessness.
But wait a minute.
Other monsters are moving around with their feet on something that looks like transparent ground. then? Lee Si-hoo immediately concentrated his magic on his feet.
-Paaah!
I succeeded in shooting the body straight away.
“success…!”
It seems that it can move using the magic power released from its feet as propulsion. On the other hand, it seems like it would be possible to use magical power to keep your feet in the air.
Lee Si-hoo, who had acquired the feel, freely navigated this strange space, cutting down the attacking winged monsters.
ㅡSuddenly!
Rather, it feels like it is easier to deal with because there is no limitation of gravity. anyway. If you can move like this, exiting through the gate will be simple.
The moment I was running towards the gate while dealing with some monsters.
“huh?”
Something suspicious caught Lee Si-hoo’s eyes.
That’s the octahedron cube in front of me.
It was a cube similar in shape to the giant one in the distance. The difference is that the one in front is slightly larger than a large bus.
Sihu Lee had a strong premonition.
“…It’s suspicious.”
It’s nothing short of award-winning.
Maybe that’s important? So wouldn’t it be beneficial to destroy it here? A heroic instinct for destruction naturally arises.
‘I figured out how to escape anyway. If so… extreme benefit. It would be better to do something and go back.’
Confidence explodes.
Then, a combative thought encroaches on my mind to destroy it no matter what happens. I know it’s not womanly, but there’s nothing I can do about this burning heart.
“Quoooooooo!”
“go away!”
He easily dodges the flying monster and releases magical power from his feet to powerfully launch himself towards the cube.
ㅡUuuuung.
As you get closer, purple light emanates from the geometric patterns on the cube’s surface. The moment I shielded myself with magical power, released the power I felt inside, wrapped it around my sword, and struck a flash.
-Help.
The cube distorted like a mirage.
ㅡKwaang!
At the same time as the sense of reality is regained, the outer surface is torn apart as it explodes.
“omg?!”
Sihu Lee was very surprised because he thought it was incredibly powerful.
‘What on earth is it? ‘What is this power?’
No matter how you look at it, it seems like it’s a power unique to you, but it’s so strange.
I’ve never seen anything like this.
Anyway, Sihu Lee infiltrated the inside of the cube and felt the surroundings becoming dark. Then, something like a round core appeared in front of Lee Si-hoo.
“Just looking at it, it looks like this.”
I felt a little strange and anxious, though.
-Smurf.
Cut without hesitation.
ㅡPaaat.
The nucleus was split.
at the same time.
ㅡKugugugugugugu!
The space begins to vibrate.
“Queeeeeek!”
“Keheeeeeeek!”
“Kyaaaaak!”
As I went outside the cube, I saw monsters running wild.
“Hmph, I guess that was the correct answer?”
It is clear that something happened because the core was destroyed. With this, I can brag to Geuncheol.
While thinking that, I quickly moved my body and headed towards the gate.
ㅡPaaat.
That’s how Sihu Lee returned to Earth.
“Whoa!”
The scenery of Korea that I can see is so lovely. Of course, it is no different from the current war situation, but it is a hundred times better than being in it.
Lee Si-hoo quickly looked at the situation. This was the top of a building, and there were monsters and soldiers fighting below, and the floating gates around were shaking.
-Smurf.
The shaking gates disappear.
“Hmm. Is that something like that?”
It seems that the gate disappeared because it was destroyed from the inside. So, if a situation like this occurs, actively going inside the gate and taking destructive action may be a special solution.
After thinking that far, Sihu Lee exhaled.
“Hehe, then let’s get out of there.”
It would be better to join the kids.
That was the moment I thought about it.
ㅡJiying.
A strange sound was heard from behind.
“…!”
Thinking that I had been ambushed, I turned around and aimed my weapon. A gate has been created.
But within it.
“huh?!”
A strange girl dressed in black walked out.
* * *
“Aww, I’m tired! Aww!”
As soon as I arrived at school, I stretched out and lay down in the classroom. I think I’m finally going to buy something. Even though I think about it, we fought really hard today. It was the longest and hardest fight I’ve ever had.
“I’m just dying!”
Although we had many allies, we fought really hard. If that’s true even for me, who has a lot of combat experience, what about other kids?
“Big…!”
“Whew!”
Everyone is lying down one by one.
“Really, Kim Geun-cheol. Is it okay for Vice President Gao to lie down like that?”
Leona says while looking down at me.
“Leona. I’m having a hard time.”
“wake up.”
“Just 5 minutes! I’ll wake up in 5 minutes!”
“What kind of foolish elementary school student are you?!”
“please!”
That’s okay for now!
“Ugh. Okay. Our elementary school student Kim Geun-cheol says, take a break and get up. I will be doing it.”
“What are you doing…!”
“No, well. I’m the chairman, so I have to make a move at times like this. Isn’t that what I’m supposed to do?”
Now that I’ve heard that, I can’t stay still.
“Kalgi-san.”
He immediately got up and stood next to Leona.
“Then shall we begin?”
“If you’re tired, rest.”
“Leona, I need to rest so I can rest too.”
“Hehe, you really speak well. Let’s go.”
As I went outside the classroom, I ran into Yuri, who had just washed her face.
“Okay. Yuri, you too, this way.”
“Am I going to rest?”
“Not there.”
“ah!”
I immediately picked up Yuri and went to where the instructor was.
“But Leona, what do we do now?”
“Well… I guess I’ll have to wait for instructions, right? It looks like the gate has slowed down a bit, but I don’t know yet. I’ll just have to wait at the school and wait for control. I probably won’t be able to go anywhere and will stay here for a while.”
“is it.”
So are you all staying in the dormitory?
“Let’s go requisition the dormitory.”
Totally in war mode.
Anyway, it is true that the gate has collapsed and the giant monster has been killed, but it is unclear how things will progress.
I’ll probably just take a break at school like this and move again when the next order comes.
I really hope that no more gates appear.
“Ugh… I can’t contact you as expected. Lee Si-hoo.”
“I kept trying, but it didn’t work.”
It seems that Leona and Yuri were also trying to keep in touch. But it can’t happen in this situation. Because I kept failing too.
“Well, I don’t want anything special to happen to Sihoo. He’s a strong guy.”
“That’s true.”
We walked while talking and arrived at the teacher’s office.
“Oh, you’re here.”
“Yes! Instructor! Is there anything I can do!”
“This is a spread story, so let the kids know. We can prepare for distribution a little later.”
“For the rations, let’s get the kids from the food distribution team to do it.”
When I was training, I absolutely hated the meal plan.
“Baesikjo? This guy says something nice. It’s been a while since I’ve heard it… But how do you know such a thing?”
“Just like that.”
“Anyway, prepare. You never know how the situation will turn out. You have to act as quickly as possible to secure more time to rest.”
Wise words.
I moved exactly as the instructor told me to do.
