of rain.

What is more important than the feeling of openness is calming down the chills that penetrate your entire body.

I’m running out of energy.

Like a doll with rusty windings.

Like the sun half-baked beyond the horizon.

You can’t stop the decline.

It’s a sah

ha

…

With each tremor, life escapes along with the air. It feels like my whole body has become a pocket watch.

Click…

Click…

The second hand of the pocket watch turns while waiting for the deathbed. Or maybe it was the sound of a lion approaching death.

Outside the window…

I want to look out the window.

Open your closed eyes.

The god of death stands there.

I look at the same scenery as me and feel regretful.

“Don’t close it.”

“….”

I suddenly came to my senses.

It’s the last time, I’m going to die now.

Come to your senses… come to your senses!

The time I have lived is in vain.

What is left for a long time?

worried.

Worrying about the loved ones you have to leave behind.

Yes, all that remains is worry.

“… I’ve caused you trouble so far.”

“no.”

“I’m worried about my daughter. “There is no one I can rely on for the rest of my life.”

“….”

Was I really that weak?

Wasn’t I an iron man?

No, no.

Before death, I am also a human being.

“Death is scary… I’m afraid… but it’s okay.”

Unbearable sleep pours in.

I’m afraid.

It’s scary.

Someone… someone please help me…

“Father, please hold my hand.”

There is no sense.

But… I can feel it.

warm heart.

Lord of Death, you are kind.

“Warm hands… Ah….”

“So? “Where should we go now?”

“Hmm…”

Slowly, the process of recovering the horses’ remains is accelerating. Since we live in an era where you never know when something will happen again, you have to collect everything while you can.

‘Then next is….’

Of all the places the compass points to, it is the closest.

‘… Tamuto Jungle?’

The closest location seemed to be in the middle of the Tamuto Jungle, which is one of the largest forests on the entire continent.

‘…is it strange?’

There were no words related to Tamuto Jungle. Even when I tried to think of something to say about the corpse being there, I couldn’t think of anything…

‘… Ah.’

no way.

‘Is it him?’

As Kang Seol was making an uncomfortable expression, Karen came up to him and asked.

“why? “Is there anything wrong with it?”

“No, it’s not like that, but…”

“Then what’s the problem? let’s go!”

Although Karen encouraged him, Kang Seol could not make a choice easily.

‘We have to put off Tamuto Jungle and stop by somewhere else first…’

The problem was that it was difficult to take that much time off due to the schedule. Although I don’t have a set schedule right now, there was something on my mind.

It was the Great Wonshin system of the tribal federation.

I haven’t decided yet whether I will go there or not, but even if I choose not to go, I wanted to leave some time to spare.

In other words, the best option now is to check who is sleeping in the Tamuto Jungle. Because the other planned destinations were some distance away.

“Um… okay, let’s move.”

“good! “It’s been a while since we had a good rest at the mansion, so let’s do something a little more active.”

“I also agree.”

So the destination was decided on Tamuto Jungle.

About ten days of travel.

The group entered Tamuto Jungle without much trouble.

“Here, right? huh? “It’s here, right?”

“You have to go a long way from here. “The Tamuto Jungle is frighteningly large.”

“Isn’t it a little… hot? “Let’s go together!”

The jungle was magnificent and mysterious.

A landscape that looks as if it was created by an imaginative painter, scattering blue paint and rough brushing.

And… it was hot and humid.

Shootaaa…

Time for the sky to cry.

A group of people taking shelter from the rain for a while under a large, dense tree.

Cracking…

crackling…

Light a bonfire and remove the moisture stuck to your clothes.

“It’s nice that there are only three of us so we can sit wide apart. Kahaha!”

Only three.

Kang Seol looked at the flickering bonfire and pondered those words.

At first there was only one, but it quickly grew to six.

【Why am I left out!】

“Ah… that’s right, you were there too…”

Bitan frowned at being left out.

Kangseol looked at Bitan for a moment and then made eye contact with Bitan.

【You just thought of me, right?】

“….”

Bitan sighed as if she was used to it, then toddled over and lay down against Kangseol’s lap.

【Don’t think about leaving me! Even if you all disappear, I’m with you! I will chase you until the end!】

Sigh…

Touching her grief-stricken head, Kang Seol fell into thought again.

‘… Where are we now?’

It’s probably closer to the end than the beginning.

So what happens when everything is over?

Will I be alone again?

No, if it does end, won’t this really be the end of the world?

Everyone is bound to be afraid of the unattainable future. Kang Seol felt an unknown emotion.

What will happen to my current colleagues?

Now it seemed like I was worrying a lot unnecessarily.

“Whew….”

“Master.”

“… hmm?”

“I have something to tell you.”

When Karuna spoke with a stern expression on her face, Kangseol nodded.

“Oh, that’s what I’m talking about! “I felt it too!”

“Did you feel it too?”

“huh! “My heart is pounding, isn’t it?”

“that’s right.”

What does this mean?

“What do you mean?”

Karuna explained Karen’s words well packaged.

“It has been unstable ever since we entered the jungle. Perhaps something in the jungle is shaking me inside…”

“Is this your first love?”

“Um… I see, this is….”

Kangseol said, frowning.

“What are you two talking about?”

“I’m just kidding, one side of my heart has been hurting since I entered the jungle? “I don’t know, it’s a phenomenon that can’t be explained accurately.”

“It’s exactly as I said.”

“Does it feel ominous?”

“No, it’s not necessarily like that… it’s an instinctive attraction? Ah… I can’t find another word to express it.”

The Tamuto Jungle is a place where civilization has not set foot. Tamuto’s trees were strong enough to be cut down, and rotted instantly from the moment they were cut down.

If ancient ruins had been discovered in the Tamuto Jungle, ruin hunters would have left them alone, but there were no traces of them.

However, due to the nature of the jungle, it was clear that it was a treasure trove of life, and many unique plants and animals grew here, so hunters and researchers would often visit with expeditions.

Of course, that also extends to the outskirts.

Snowfall now knew that the direction his compass was pointing was close to the center of the Tamuto Jungle.

“We will head to the center like this. If you have any problems, please let me know on the way.”

“yea, I got it.”

“All right.”

Unconfirmed horse twin knight anomaly. Although I was reluctant, it was too late to go back.

Squeak profit-!

The next day, monkeys from a distance were glaring at them as they headed towards the center of the jungle.

“… what?”

“why?”

“The compass…”

The compass spun around.

To say that we have reached our destination is because there are only trees around us.

While I was wondering what to do, Karuna spoke.

“… Come this way.”

He started to take the lead. And that too at a fairly fast pace. Even Karen searched for something at almost the same speed.

‘… what?’

Rather than solving the question, Kang Seol tried not to fall away from the twin knights.

This happened because the speed at which they reached their goal was so fast.

And has it been a while?

“here.”

“It’s here! “It must be here!”

Karuna and Karen simultaneously looked at the snowfall, pointing to the earthen wall entangled with tree roots.

“… what?”

“They asked me to come here?”

“… who?”

“… Who is it?”

While Karen was tilting her head, Snowfall approached the earthen wall.

[Advanced Perception activates.]

[This wall looks like it can be easily demolished.]

[There is a possibility that a hidden location will be discovered.]

…

Swirl!

As the snowfall hits the earthen wall with its shadow, the earthen wall collapses with a patter.

“… stairs?”

“I know? “Are they stairs?”

“I think I discovered something.”

A ruin hunter would have been drooling with joy, but this was not the case for Kang Seol.

“Who called you here?”

“I do not know. It’s just… I felt like something was pulling me…”

“Yes! It seemed like he was trying to let me know that there was something here. … what?”

That was what Kang Seol wanted to ask. He himself is not affected at all, but only the twin knights are affected.

“… Is this the one path leading down?”

“I don’t think so.”

“How do you know?”

“I grabbed both hands earlier. It seemed like I could go either way. “Maybe it will lead to the same place?”

“… I’m honestly reluctant.”

“I know, me too.”

“Me too.”

Kang Seol nodded and said.

“I’m still going in.”

“Yes, me too.”

“Me too.”

match-!

Grief struck his forehead.

– They have even given up on grief.

– Wasn’t Karuna the suppressor of these two? Haha

– Breaking News) Karuna is the most excited guy

…

Snowfall and the twin knights disappeared into the crypt.

* * *

A staircase leading to a spiral.

There were parts of the stairs that collapsed and were broken, so I had to light a torch I had brought with me to light the way ahead.

“Oh… that’s fascinating?”

“It feels more comfortable than that.”

“that’s right! “That’s exactly what I said!”

I wanted to criticize that amazing and comfortable are not the same thing, but for now I was busy checking out the surroundings of Snow Seoldo and admiring it.

The crypt under this tree was incredibly large. No, now we can be confident that this is a large-scale ruin.

“It would have been nice if you had brought Mael with you.”

I regretted letting him go first.

“… a crossroads.”

Three paths emerged.

The snowfall stood still.

[I see a crossroads in front of me. Which direction would you like to head? Or do you want to go back?]

1. Right.

2. Left.

3. Straight.

4. Check other routes.

…

That one…

That one…

Karen and Karuna didn’t hesitate and chose the right path. Snowfall shrugged and walked after them.

After a while, similar forks continued to appear and it became impossible to tell how deep we had descended.

An underground area of this size was definitely a major discovery.

“ah! “I think we’re all there!”

“you’re right. “I think it’s here.”

Snowfall stopped with them in front of the huge door.

There were two pillars in front of the door, divided into two sides.

Hwareuk…

Snowfall picks up the torch and checks the door behind the pillar.

‘… pattern?’

It looked like there was some kind of symbol engraved on it, but I couldn’t make out what that huge symbol was with just the torch.

Whioooooo…

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpp!

Karen raises a large sphere of flame. The air became hot in an instant.

“oh! Sorry sorry!”

Whioooo…

A sphere that shrinks to an appropriate size to observe the pattern.

“That pattern….”

“Hmm….”

The pattern of the sun and moon.

The sun was depicted on the left side of the door and the moon on the right.

Karen approached the pillar in front of the door with the sun drawn on it, as if fascinated.

Tap…

A hand raised indifferently.

Chijijijijiji…

The wave of light that started from the hand began to be sucked into the door through the pillar.

Chijijijiji…

Karen’s flame swirled around the engraved sun pattern.

“Karuna!”

Nod…

At Karen’s call, Karuna placed her hand on the pillar.

Chijijijijik…

Karuna’s black wave tried to advance through the pillar to the moon pattern.

But…

crackling…

crackling…

“…what is it?”

This situation was also uncertain, but I couldn’t figure out why the pillar that reacted so fiercely to Karen didn’t react as much to Karuna.

That one…

that one…

“Because it’s only half.”

“….”

Someone appeared nearby.

“You…”

Empty eyes without any killing intent or fighting spirit. Kang Seol noticed that the opponent had no intention of fighting and watched quietly.

The one who approaches them and looks at the pillar on which Karuna laid his hand.

Black knight.

Another Karuna, someone who helped the immortals, was here.

“And… me too.”

The Black Knight placed his hands on the pillar where Karuna had placed his hands.

That moment.

Chijijijijijijik-!

Half of the door.

The moon symbol began to burn.
