STGB Chapter 282

Episode 282 Drifting (2)

I suddenly had that thought.

The stone that Amelia is holding right now…

isn’t that the ‘treasure’ of the lord of Noark Castle?

Of course, it was just an unfounded intuition.

“……What is that stone?”

Like a barbarian, he asked coolly.

However, Amelia’s answer was relentless.

“never mind.”

Do it well so that it doesn’t bother you, then.

‘Once you look at the reaction, that ‘treasure’ seems to be correct…’

I don’t think he’ll answer if I ask more questions here.

Therefore, I stopped paying attention to that stone and focused on other parts.

Right now, there was something that took precedence over curiosity.

blood shot-!

Like the glass in an aquarium, there is a crack in the barrier blocking the water, and water begins to flow through it.

“The sanctuary will disappear soon.” This

means that we must prepare soon.

First of all, I picked up my mace and the pieces of the busted breastplate that had fallen on the floor and put them in the subspace.

And…

“What? Come here. If you don’t want to be swept away.”

Extra rope was pulled out.

Realizing what I was about to do, Amelia frowned.

“You don’t want to use the scroll?”

“Ah, you mean multiple teleportation scrolls?”

Multiple teleportation scrolls that were key to Plan B.

It was an item that he made after asking Kyle if he could make a similar scroll because he had a deep impression on the Lord of Abyss during the battle against Berzak.

However, the maximum number of people is only 2 people.

It was also impossible to designate coordinates, and it was characterized by being able to move only to the place where the ‘coordinate transmitter’ registered at the time of making the scroll was located.

‘If it wasn’t for lowering performance that way in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to make it scroll like this.’

Oh, for reference, the ‘coordinate transmitter’ is owned by Raven.

Normally, I put it in the subspace, but this time, I told you in advance, so I must have taken it out.

In other words, you can go to your colleague just by tearing the scroll.

But…

“I’m sure he’s caught. It’s not even a dangerous situation, so why use that expensive item?”

It’s crazy to write this to make it a little easier.

Kyle said he would make it again whenever he could find the ingredients…….

When would he get all the ingredients?

Beyond being expensive, most of them were rare items that were difficult to supply.

“So hurry up and sit down. As soon as the water runs out anyway, your colleagues will come and save you.”

“So until the water recedes?”

what are you talking about

You have to hold your breath and hold on.

It’ll only take a few minutes, but can’t you stand that?

“……It’s okay, I’ll tie it up on my own.”

Soon after, Amelia took a nail from the subspace and drove it into the floor. Then he took the rope from me and connected it to his body.

“Ah, if you’re done, help me. I only have one hand.”

“……It’s different.”

Whatever you say, I’ll help you.

I raised my one free hand up as if hurray, and Amelia tied a rope around my torso to keep it in place.

Then, with this, preparation is over.

blood shot-!

We chatted for a while as we watched the water pour through the holes in the sanctuary.

Surprisingly, the conversation started with Amelia.

“I guess the pain is gone now.”

Oh, that’s something I hadn’t even thought about.

“…… Ugh.”

Pain has the nature of increasing the more you look at it.

So I quickly changed the topic.

“I’m done talking about it, so can you tell me soon?”

“……?”

“That stone. What the hell is it used for? At a glance, it seems that the ‘treasure’ that the kites coveted is correct.”

“Barbarian, I must have told you not to pay attention.”

Amelia drew a line in a cold voice.

However, one of the characteristics of a barbarian is not being able to tolerate being curious.

“No, even if you say that, you can’t help but pay attention because it keeps shining next to you! I don’t want much, so tell me why you’re shining. I thought you were embarrassed earlier too.”

“That’s…”

Why is this stone shining?

At that question, Amelia murmured and squeezed the stone in her hand.

“I do not know either.”

“Huh? You don’t know?”

As I stared at her with a bewildered look, Amelia clicked her tongue and confidently flirted with me.

“Yeah I don’t know. What’s wrong with that? I don’t know much about this stuff in the first place. It’s just that if there is…”

Yes, if so?

It was a time when I did not interrupt my words and pricked my ears.

「The sanctuary disappears.」

The barrier that blocked the sea water broke and water began to rush in like in a disaster movie.

Jeop, of course, at this timing.

‘I thought I could figure it out with a little more.’

I’m sorry, but what can I do?

I’ll ask more questions later when I get a chance.

“Hold your breath! Hold tight to the rope!”

As soon as we took a deep breath and shouted loudly, the cold seawater covered our bodies.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

From now on, it’s time for a while.

If you just hold your breath and wait, the water will drain on its own. Then the fellows who went out on the boat will come back and find us.

But is it because Stormgash’s essence has lung capacity?

‘I’ll just hold out for ten minutes?’

Even though I held my breath, I didn’t feel much discomfort.

It was a stat that had nothing to do with the game.

Also, when there was an underwater battle, he did all the settings in advance, so there was no need for an increase in diving time.

‘But it might be surprisingly good…?’

Unlike games, this is a world where you have to fight with your real body.

Lung capacity is a stat that will help in battle.

Because now I am not Lee Han-soo fiddling with keyboards. We know how important breathing is in real combat.

‘It seems that my body is gradually getting better.’

When recovering from an injury, a unique tickling sensation blooms throughout the body. It didn’t happen because this sea had the nature of a potion, not salt water.

It’s just the efficacy of the newly acquired skill.

“The energy of the sea permeates the character’s body.”

“The natural regeneration value is greatly increased due to the passive skill [Prayer].”

Stormgash’s passive skill [Prayer].

Efficacy is simple.

When it touches seawater, its natural regenerative power increases, and the rate of increase rises like compound interest as the duration increases.

After about 10 minutes, the severed arm also sprouted, maybe?

‘Well, I don’t have anything to use except for the 6th floor, though.’

In the past, he had tried putting seawater in an empty bottle and using it as a potion, but the result was a disaster.

Even after an hour of holding it, the skill did not explode.

What is the energy of the sea?

‘Anyway, I’ve finally regained my regenerative power.’

A smile spread across my lips without my knowledge.

The most disappointing part was resolved as the vampire essence disappeared. It’s a whopping 3rd grade, and it’s not just an essence that’s hampered by its regenerative power.

[Prayer] alone has other effects.

‘If this guy starts farming level 2 essence later, he can change it then…’

It was a time when he watched his body recovering in real time, unable to hide his satisfaction.

‘huh?’

Belatedly I realized

As the water rushed in, the torch that was turned on while catching the Storm Gash was also turned off.

Even after entering the water, the view ahead is blurry.

But why…

‘Why can’t I see?’

This time, the cause was the mysterious stone that Amelia had. Even though it was put in a subspace, it radiated brilliant light and served as a light source.

As soon as I saw it, a question arose.

Apart from how light leaks out in sub-space where spatial disconnection is the basis.

‘How come the light seems to be stronger…’

I tilted my head and pointed at Amelia’s subspace bracelet.

It was a gesture with such a meaning.

‘Hey, is that okay?’

At that question, Amelia punched me in the chest.

‘Never mind.’

It seems to mean something like this

But wouldn’t it be unusual to see the intensity of the light getting bigger and bigger?

“…….”

Amelia opened the bracelet and took out a stone.

The stone emitted a light that was incomparably brighter than when it was in the subspace.

Uh, just looking at it, something feels strange…….

Cuckoo.

For some reason, I hurriedly poked Amelia’s waist with my finger.

‘No, is this okay?’

The meaning of my gestures should have been conveyed well enough, but Amelia did not respond.

It’s not dazzling, just staring blankly at the stone like a man possessed.

‘This makes me more anxious…’

It was the moment when I instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Flash-!

As if a stone exploded, white light radiated, and my eyes were stained white.

That was the end of my memory.

Just like the day you were first brought into this world.

‘Evil my eyes!’

So I lost my mind.

***

「An error has occurred.」

「Could not find the location of the character.」「Transmission

of the character log is temporarily suspended.

」

..」

***

When I opened my eyes, there was light beyond.

Red glow as the sun sets over the horizon.

“Chew!”

Realizing the time, I hurriedly raised my upper body.

“A day has passed?”

It was night when they battled Stormgusch.

By the way, is the sunset setting?

Means I’ve been fainting for at least a day…….

‘……Uh what is this again.’

Soon I was confronted with a problem much more serious than the day that had gone by.

‘Where the fuck did all my equipment go?’

Feeling empty later, I checked and there was no equipment.

No equipment, nothing.

Subspace rings and earrings, as well as magic panties enchanted with ‘acid immunity’, have all disappeared.

Perfect primordial nakedness.

‘Who found the fainting and brushed it off?’

Um, but would you normally kill me for that?

No, there was no one else on this island besides us in the first place.

What were all the kids who were sent out by burning the boat up to this point?

ha what really happened

“I’ll turn.”

It is not enough to say that the head is complicated.

My common sense cannot explain this situation.

thus.

“hey.”

He shook Amelia, who was lying next to him.

Oh, of course, the gaze was directed elsewhere.

He, like me, had all his equipment stolen.

“…… Amelia, wake up.”

huh? please wake up

You were the owner of that stone.

How did this happen?

“Ha…….”

I eagerly tried to wake up Amelia, hoping for an answer, but she didn’t respond.

It’s not like he’s dead because he’s breathing.

‘Nimiral.’

I decided to stop waking him up and checked my surroundings. It was full of contradictions from the moment I opened my eyes, but there were things I hadn’t confirmed yet.

‘eight.’

Yes, considering that the severed arm is intact, it was regenerated thanks to seawater.

‘A nail and a rope.’

The nails and ropes fixed to the floor to keep it from being washed away are gone.

It’s not like I moved to another island or anything.

This is the spot where the fight with Stormgash took place earlier.

But…

‘The ground is already dry.’

The island is completely submerged in seawater, but the grains of sand you step on are crumbly.

Is this physically possible in one day?

I don’t know, but the most important thing is different.

‘But I’m wet.’
