Chapter 195: 195

162 Part 2

Seokwon Choi could not finish his words, as the knight leader’s sword pierced his chest without time to respond . The was no blood, but thorn vines came out to wrap around Seokwon Choi .

“Ahhh!”

He screamed, but Seokwon Choi disappeared amidst the vines that wove like a cocoon and shrunk until it became the size of a soccer ball . Despite being the same rank, he had not even reacted once and must have been the lower rung of the rank .

[Honey, what happened?!!]

The volleyball came and asked .

“He made a deal with the jellyfish . But can someone become that strong just by giving up one’s life?”

There were several hundred S class hunters in the world, and the number would continue to increase . It would be a problem if they all became SS or SSS classes .

[It’s not like that, as he is an S class awakened, who normally do not make a deal like this . Also, that jellyfish used expediency . ]

“An expediency?”

[Yes, that jellyfish is a member of the Sea of Fog family, who swallow others’ memories through fogs . I think the jellyfish made that man a member of the family and gave him some fog . Since the fog is from their King, the fog would have been able to transform memories into power quite well . ]

I grabbed the volleyball at the word memories .

“He took my brother’s memories!”

[Calm down, honey!]

“I have to get them back! What happens if the owner dies? Will the memory disappear?”

[How long has it been since he lost his memory?]

“About one to two hours . ”

[Then it’s still all right . Knight Leader!]

The knight leader came holding the thorn cocoon, and the upper part of it was open, so I could see that there were several hundred small marbles in it .

[While some may be missing, most of them seem intact . They will go back to their owner upon physical contact, and the marbles’ size is relevant to the number of memories . ]

An especially big marble came into my eyes, and since Yoohyun would have drunk in the fog from the nearest spot, this would be his . I took out empty bottles and bags from my inventory to move the marbles, including my brothers, and I saw a magic stone gleaming faintly at the bottom . While it was an SSS class stone, the size was small and color murky compared to its class .

“It does not seem useful . ”

The state of the stone was unsellable or to give as a gift, and I thought that maybe Myeongwoo may use it to make a weapon .

[Honey, you can combine stones to make monsters . While the stone is weak compared to its class, the result will be at least an S class . ]

“It’s not possible when the stone is not a cursed poison dragon stone . ”

[Why? You’re not the owner but the nurturer of the cursed poison dragon . It doesn’t matter what the race is . ]

“…It doesn’t?”

[Of course . You’re raising humans, dragons, griffons, and others . ]

The volleyball answered while spinning around, and I wondered if that was true since the skill was originally for combining to create a cursed poison dragon . I grabbed Seokwon Choi’s magic stone and looked into it .

“This seems ominous even it’s possible . ”

It was a human being’s magic stone, which made me uneasy about using it .

“Does the awakened in our world form magic stones when they become an SSS class? Or is this because he had become something else?”

[Normally, the stones form from SS class as it means that they had overcome the limits of the current race . Monsters have random stones regardless of class, and I cannot go into specifics . ]

I took Seokwon Choi’s stone, and the volleyball shouted that there was not much time left . While the dungeon usually lasted for thirty minutes, the time did not reset if I came again in a row . I was told that it took about a week to reset .

[Then honey, be safe!]

The environment around me changed with those words, and I saw a barren field . I should return quickly-

I ran towards the gate the moment I heard a growl, but something heavy ambushed me from the back with one step . What the hell .

“Biting won’t work-”

I felt something bite me in the back of my neck and saw other monsters approach me . I used my identifying skill while flailing .

[Class 2 Land Wolf Type – Long Teethed Wolf

Current stat class A

Possible stat class B ~ A]

So, Seokwon Choi had come to an A or S class dungeon . While the ambush would have been due to the magic stone in my test, I deemed everything to be Seokwon Choi’s fault . He should have chosen a C class .

I was dragged when the gate was only five steps away, and the monsters scratched at me to get to the stone . Having the damage nullifying skill at A class will last me for some time, and I would need to pretend I was dead until they gave up . I hoped they did it quickly since I did not want to use a gate stone .

I felt a wound here and there from their teeth, and the monsters became more excited at the smell of blood . They began to growl, and I thought I would need to use the gate stone anyway .

It was then the monster on top of me began to shout, and I smelt burning flesh .

“Yoohyun!”

He had come, and Yoohyun kneeled in front of me and embraced me with both arms .

“Hey, did you heal-”

I could not finish the sentence because I heard a sob .
