I Was A Porter - chapter 76

_

I stopped on the ridge, feeling thirsty as if my throat was on fire, and I took a deep breath of water. I kept checking to see if they were following me, but I didn’t feel a move.

After I couldn’t sleep well and ran restlessly, I felt tired all over and wanted to lie on my back on the ground even now. I mumbled for more than one, and when I put the peaks together in front of my eyes, there were twenty total. This time, I was going to rest beyond that peak.

I stood on the last peak and looked ahead, and the basin surrounded by mountains was like a huge mirror falling from the sky.

“Fog?”

It was just too dark for fog and full of moisture. In a broad sense, fog was right, but if you dig a little deeper, you have to say fog.

I was troubled because there would be life if there was water, and it could be a little more dangerous. Whether to go down or not.

Obviously, I was drunk with confidence while dealing with magic for a few days, but I felt sorry for myself for being afraid of the web crackers I met last night.

After a pause, Seungho reflects on what he can do with his magic.

“What can I do with this sword? I can already overwrite it with a sword to add to my routine. Without a sword? You can whip it like a whip by yourself. What if I meet a monster more physically powerful than myself? You can also use magic to strengthen your body! I’m never weak. I don’t have to be scared at all. ”

Seung-ho, who was frustrated, began to feel confident as the sun rose. When I was confident about myself, I was no longer afraid. Rather, if the web crackers are chasing you, you’re confident you’ll run for it and slice it right away.

After fixing his mind, he stepped towards a basin naturally filled with mist.

Glug-ug-

The wet floor was somewhat slippery. I slipped elongated and continued down, repeating to correct the center. The fog became darker and the visible distance was less than 3 m.

I go down slowly without slowing down my tension, wondering if there are any monsters hiding. All I could hear was the rattling of birds in the mountains, and it seemed to welcome me to the coming tide.

Sagrac!

On the left side of the cautious ascent, you hear a sound moving through the grass. I immediately lowered my body and turned my head.

However, there was not a single creature seen at the eye level of Ascension. I hurled Gurka in front of my chest, insulting my narrow vision.

I couldn’t help but be careful of my exhale. The opposing Pokémon acknowledges the existence of Ascension and stops moving.

When they were wary of each other, he slowly approached Seung-ho. I didn’t take my eyes off the direction the sound kept coming from, but I couldn’t see any life at eye level.

5m, 4m, 3m, …. You start to hear sounds directly from the foothills, but you don’t see any tracks on the grass.

Then he’s small enough to hide himself under the grass! You hold the knife in reverse and lower the position. My back grows agitated with all the tension, but I can’t feel the pain coming from my nose.

Seung-ho couldn’t overcome the tension and swallowed his saliva, and as he cut through the bush, he appeared.

* * *

“That’s really intimidating. ”

Yoohwa reminded me of what Seungho said and expressed his positivity. Seung-ho did not tell lies. It’s just…

“Yes, he’s a deadly threat to the heart. ”

All life has a survival strategy that has evolved over and over for many years. A lizard that cuts its tail and runs away, a chameleon that blends in with its surrounding colors, and…. An otter who evolved into the King of Cuteness like the one before him.

He flirted with even his jerky, shaking it before his eyes. The fingernail marks were deep on the back of the finger that Seung-ho tried to catch.

“You can catch it if it’s cute, right? Why are you so annoyed when you can’t catch him? ”

“How sad would she be if she forcibly touched it? You’re the only one I know, sweetheart.”

I felt pathetic to shake the jerky with my name on it, but I didn’t care more and went to the lake to catch fish. I was already approaching the rhinoceros and looking at the water, but I was nodding to see if I was satisfied.

“Very well. There are lots of carp with a forearm. ”

I felt like I wanted to go into the water and catch fish right away, but I watched carefully whether it was a monster or a common fish, using magic powers to roam the water.

“Monsters don’t go underwater. Have you seen a gate emerge from the sea? ”

Seung-ho approaches behind him and gives a moment’s thought, then tilts his head and argues.

“Hmm…. But aren’t there amphibians or reptile monsters in the swamp? ”

“Well, let’s make it right. There are no monsters in these lakes, rivers or oceans, except for the ones that live in those swamps. ”

Seung-ho admitted his mistake to a sharp point on the rhinoceros. The swamp didn’t think because it didn’t go well, but considering the area where HYDRA came from, they were quite close to the water.

However, there were no monsters living in the water except for the monsters who were trying to stay in the water at the beginning, such as rivers, lakes and oceans.

“I see. I see new facts. ”

“There’s actually one species of live turtle, but I haven’t seen it since I cleaned it up, so I think it’s extinct. ”

“Turtles?”

In response to the rhinoceros’ question, Seungho nods and pulls the magical tentacles from his body. His small eyes widen with sudden actions, but he stepped forward casually, regardless of winning.

“I was the one who made him develop it. ”

After finishing the horse, the magical tentacle plunged under the lake like a mortar and rescued about a dozen carp the size of its forearms.

“I know it’s a little fresh because I don’t have anything else to do, but let’s just eat carp balls. ”

The carp was trimmed naturally on the rhinoceros. He had never touched a fish, so one of the two had to do it unavoidably, and he left confidently saying that he had lived by the river since he was a child.

He was watching the refining of the fish and approached Ascension Lake to see if it was boring. Seungho was preparing to start a fire from scratch in order to bake the carp. Yoohwa naturally approached the side of the Seung-ho and asked him a question by handing him the branches he collected.

“I have a question. ”

“Isn’t it time for class? ”

“What happened to Draxi? ”

Seung-ho trembles at a clumsy question, but he tries to pretend to be a natural branch again.

“It’s rotting up north somewhere. ”

“Do you think he’s dead? ”

Seungho frowned and looked at her. Somehow, Yoo-Hwa’s face was not that serious. Seung-ho sighed and turned to face the face of the emulsion with a serious face that was really hard to come out once a year.

“Tell me, I’m ready to listen. ”

“I think. Maybe Drax is still alive. ”

“Why do you think that is? ”

When Seung-ho took the story seriously, Yoo-Hwa smiled at his mouth as if he felt good, but he tried to calm down and continued talking.

“I don’t know why we haven’t discussed this, and I don’t know why we haven’t found Draxi’s body, but we have to do it now. I don’t understand how Draxi died so powerlessly. Even if you couldn’t use the power of the shrapnel, you wouldn’t have been able to lure him in the first place if you’d died right away. ”

I studied Seung-ho’s story while he breathed out a long word. I thought it was reasonable, so I nodded my head as if to tell him more, and I got excited and mixed up my gestures and footwork.

“Here’s what I think. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the nuke must have been destroyed by Draxi. And for some reason, they either let the baby go, or they’re up to something else so they can get to you. ”

In response, Seung-ho touches his left chest with his fingers.

“What if the power of this fragment is so unstable that I don’t have the strength at the moment that I’m embarrassed that I can’t fight properly? ”

Seungho throws a small assumption, but he shakes his head decisively and denies his guess.

“Break the core in the middle of that? It’s weird. You’d break the core if you had the time. Didn’t you measure up against the cubs? Will he be able to kill Draxi in an instant? ”

Thinking about the fight, I slowly rebuilt the branches to clear my mind. At first, Seung-ho didn’t think Draxi was dead. But I couldn’t find any reason to shake his hand for letting him go. I thought if I did that and went back to Earth, Eid and Khan would stay put. If I expose everything in the past, I was sure that I would be taken to Bone Prison. If I choose to flee, he was also not a wise choice.

There won’t be a word for subjugation against a hunter of that size, so he should spend his days worrying about endless pursuits and snipers who don’t know where to fly from.

Would he have caused such a problem after taking such a risk? No matter how much I thought about it, I had to be negative.

When I finished thinking, I was ready to start a campfire.

“The cub may not have easily killed Baloch, but it would have been possible if he had been stunned by the power of the fragment. If we were to do this and go back to Earth, the results would be obvious, but it would be much better to cooperate properly and hope for a reduction. I don’t think I missed it on purpose. ”

“That’s the assumption that Drax is returning to Earth. ”

“What?”

In the words of Yoo-Hwa, Seung-ho barely took out a single word.

“What if Drax had stayed here like us? He said he didn’t want to be remembered as a monster. So maybe he thought about staying here after he broke the nuke? ”

I didn’t know that Seung-ho’s mouth would shut with a crack. When he was unable to speak, he continued to speak.

“What if I smashed the core and it was damaged by the fragments inside? Would he have been different if he had been somewhat mentally unstable? ”

The answer to the question of Yoo-Hwa did not come from the mouth of Seung-ho.

“It’s a very interesting story from afar. How does that story go? ”

I approached with an interesting look, holding a carp stuck in a branch that I had just prepared.

“If Drax were still here, wouldn’t he be starving himself? You want to start a fire? ”

“So is he. Drax doesn’t even smoke. ”

Unlike the two, Seung-ho couldn’t smile at all.

“If he’s alive…. I wonder where he is.”

The mumbling of Seungho was extremely low, and the two who were preparing the grilled fish did not hear his mumbling.
