Guangzhou defense line.
The time dawn starting to break, green waves gradually retreating.
“Haa, haa.”
“Hoo...”
The number of goblins pouring from the dungeon increasing as days pass. Today already 3 weeks passed since the break occurred situation.
“Blocked today too.”
“...”
The expressions of the awakeners who blocked the attack occurred during dawn not good. The number of goblins no matter blocking only increasing, conversely the number of awakeners only decreasing due to poison.
At least thanks to the antidote from Korea could endure to some extent. If not the existence of the antidote the defense line would have been breached long ago.
Also the awakeners who came to support from various places including overseas during 3 weeks great help.
Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak!
Urgent footsteps.
A man urgently approaching someone.
“Team leader Jeong Soyeon! Fine?”
The awakeners of Ara Hongryeon put in to support the defense line. They also when one week passed since the break occurred finished all preparations and came to support state.
Jeong Soyeon leaning on the cover and lying faintly smiled and nodded.
“Fine.”
“Saw hit by poison needle! I should have been more careful...!”
At the guild member’s self-reproaching words Jeong Soyeon casually rolled up clothes. Then there plate armor of ethereal color existed.
“Th, that...?”
“My lucky equipment.”
“Ha, but poison...”
Even if primarily blocked the poison needle the poison stuck on the poison needle infiltrates inside the body without mouse or bird knowing. The reason awakeners suffer from mere lower monsters like goblins.
But Jeong Soyeon leisurely smiled.
Uung!
“Ut?!”
When Jeong Soyeon poured mana into the strict heart armor thin mana coating overlaid on her body. The guild member who saw that appearance looked at Jeong Soyeon with widened eyes.
“Can’t block physical impact but can block poison infiltrating.”
“A, item?”
“No.”
The guild member who expected of course such answer briefly confused whether misheard then soon could hear the accurate answer.
“Production equipment. Not item.”
“Huk!”
The guild member looked at the strict heart armor once more.
No matter how looking no trace of magic stone embedded seeming. Then that equipment a story of equipment operating even without magic stone.
“...Before I knew it our guild such technology...”
“Not guild item but briefly borrowed personal equipment.”
At the point mana coating can’t block physical attack hard to give big help to dungeon subjugation. But in situation vulnerable to poison like now equipment more helpful than anything.
Jeong Soyeon suddenly recalled Gyuseong and Ara in Korea.
‘Have to resolve quickly and return.’
Then another someone urgently looking for Jeong Soyeon. Jeong Soyeon who stood dragging the exhausted body approached the one looking for her and he said.
“1st team leader, the attack team that left the previous day...”
“!!”
Not good news transmitted.
* * *
Thud!
The riddle hoe softly stuck into the ground.
Soon drawing straight a furrow formed in a straight line.
Today the day planned to expand the field.
As it was gradually expanding but recently as the number of slimes increasing surplus manpower created.
‘No, no. Not surplus manpower but I just making a playground for the slimes.’
Kyaa, where another slime welfare worker thinking of our slimes like me. This all work for the slimes.
Like that when thinking wicked, no kind thoughts Ara approached.
“Hm?”
“Eating.”
Ara holding something and chewing.
And what held in Ara’s hand an unknown beetle.
“...”
“Not eating?”
“Our Ara eat a lot. I full just looking at Ara eating.”
“Ooh!”
The appearance rejoicing smiling hehe cute.
But Ara’s invitation thought ending so persistently made.
“Sharing and eating together!”
“A, Ara eat a lot.”
“Have to eat together to be happy!”
Where found such beetle again.
As the time staying in Gluttony’s dungeon longer felt more insects and plants than thought growing here.
Shall say things not seen at first eye-catching as this space gradually familiar.
Thanks to that Ara often catching unidentified insects or plants, fish and trying to feed me.
Others all fine but insects physiologically a bit hard. This the hardship of raising a child?
“Uum.”
Ara puffed cheeks then held out the beetle to Bokkeum loitering beside me. Then Bokkeum gobbled the beetle.
“Delicious?”
Undulate!
“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong yielding this delicious amazing.”
Saying so curiosity arising honestly but...
Eating as is too uneasy. Later if bringing again have to grill on fire and eat.
Breath cut and raised head and looked around. Before I knew it seeming plowed about 200 pyeong land.
‘Everyone safe?’
Suddenly plowing the field in such peaceful place guild members came to mind. From the point Ara Hongryeon departed recent news or media every day only content related to the dungeon of stinginess sensationally reported.
Thanks to that me also going out 4 times a day. To confirm contact from the guild or news just in case.
“Ara, everyone safe right?”
“Hm?”
Ara tilting head and spouting question.
Actually never separately informed Ara things like stinginess or Ara Hongryeon’s situation. Not wanting to make Ara care for no reason.
But seeming guessing something happened with the roughly going atmosphere. Going around with me natural talk.
Once thought opened hard to concentrate on work. I briefly put down the hoe and decided to go out a bit and come.
“Going together.”
“Yeah.”
Holding Ara and went out.
Looking at the slime dungeon also diligently running and completely coming out suddenly the phone started ringing hotly.
‘What?’
Until now contacting only on set dates for delivery related matters, otherwise mostly only contacting family...
Confirming the phone accumulated messages and missed calls.
“...!”
“Why?”
Confirming the content written in the message I briefly couldn’t continue words.
‘Guild master...’
The content informing among the awakener teams divided into defense team and attack team those belonging to the attack team met Mamon.
And in that process the fact most attack team personnel including guild master poisoned also written.
Already my antidote bottom state.
No matter how diligently I make maximum 3 a day. But those poisoned more than that.
Moreover even making antidote here the time according to transportation to Guangzhou taking so situation unable to treat right away.
“Guild master poisoned saying.”
“Han Seokjun!?”
Ara shouted with a surprised expression.
I nodding and decided to just tell Ara everything.
“The goblin called Mamon of stinginess now appearing outside the dungeon and spraying poison. Guild master and hyung Hanul, and Miss Soyeon also there.”
“Mamon!”
Ara’s expression became fierce. Exactly like a cat hissing.
“Know who Mamon?”
“Know! Fat and red goblin!”
Indeed same seven deadly sins whether.
Seeming knowing Mamon in detail.
“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong.”
“Uh.”
“Going to scold Mamon!”
“...Uh?”
Ara who said badly hitting fist with palm burned fighting spirit.
“Han Seokjun! Kang Hanul! Jeong Soyeon! All going to rescue!”
“No, Ara. There dangerous.”
“Fine! I stronger than Mamon!”
Wait a moment.
Suddenly at the thought that came to mind confirmed Ara’s status window again.
[Ara (Gluttony)]
Ability: Gluttony, Breath, Body strengthening, Mental strengthening, Mana increase, Affinity, Clairvoyance, Mind eye, Diamond indestructible, All poison immunity, Debuff resistance, Mana recovery, Self healing, Skin beauty, Close combat immunity, Mana circulation
“...”
Still monstrous ability window.
Moreover appearance of ability called mana circulation not before also created.
But now the important not that.
‘When upgraded this again.’
Until last confirmed ability that was heavenly poison immunity changed to all poison immunity. Achievement of steadily eating remaining tomato after making antidote?
Anyway current Ara’s state degree able to call Mamon’s natural enemy.
To begin with mere goblin guys so can’t catch up to Ara even with physical ability and poison not working?
“Invincible.”
“I invincible!”
Even with Diamond indestructible ability poison needles or arrows meaningless. No looking again now really only shock coming out ability.
Such cute appearance kid actually a munchkin plastered with all sorts of abilities.
Recently even physical ability seeming rose later if leeway have to receive test again at the guild.
“Hmm!”
Worry lengthened.
Rationally with Ara’s ability seeming able to defeat Mamon. But my heart opposing.
No matter amazing Ara to me a child like daughter. Taking such Ara to a dangerous place not easy.
“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong!”
“Um?”
“While worrying everyone dangerous!”
Yeah, Ara’s words right.
Not necessarily only such actually thinking of going to the scene directly.
The time my antidote arriving to Guangzhou taking over one day. Because classified as item customs taking long. This also originally over one month taking time maximally reduced because urgent situation.
But if I directly go and make antidote can save that time.
Materials to make antidote fine going back and forth the dungeon using Master of Gluttony.
“Let’s go.”
“Yeah!”
I hardened the heart. Even if not necessarily because of Ara decided to go to provide antidote on site.
Might say no need to do so but precious people there. If only watching here and someone reaches irreversible situation...
‘Probably self-reproach lifetime.’
Even going the things I can do not many possible. Even so I will go. Wanting to go and help even doing trivial chores.
World peace? Not because of such grand sense of mission. Just for the precious people to me.
Immediately called hyung Yeongseong who temporarily handling work while 1st team leader Jeong Soyeon vacant.
Diririri-click!
-Yeah, Gyuseong. Heard the news? Mamon finally appeared. Not only guild master but China’s prominent awakeners and other awakeners too...
“Yes, hyung Yeongseong. Heard. So saying but one request.”
-Request?
I briefly regulated breath.
Then Ara tightly clenched my hand beside.
“I’ll go to Guangzhou too.”
