chapter 121
“A sudden quest?”
Taejeong opened the quest window at the sudden message.
[The Celebration of Sirius.]
my ex
If you’re watching this, you’ve probably encountered the first singularity.
Congratulations on surviving and not dying.
Of course, this must mean that this body, the one and only genius in the universe, has been designed so well.
Do you agree, my ex.
Are you bowing your head and praising me?
You don’t have to do that.
Because I am far from being condescending.
Anyway, you made it this far.
To commemorate the first singularity, I’ve prepared a gift for you, just take it.
Actually, this is not a guard, so I thought a lot about spreading it along with cloaking, but it’s no fun if you spread it all at once.
There is such a thing among humans.
No pain no gain.
You’re just starting to get lucky.
It’s a small gift I prepared, so take it well.
From now on, the real fight begins.
I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your time.
Objective – Retrieve the Super Electron Plexion from the heart pouch of the Sea King Triagi.
Reward – Super Electron Plexion
“what’s this? Did I come to the singularity?”
The puzzled Taejeong muttered while looking at the contents.
Then Gerard answered.
-no.
“No, why?”
-Originally, this is not a place you can come to now.
[You are out. I will explain.]
It was Freesia.
[Originally, this is a place you can come to after a while. However, because you killed the Belamos father and son, the sea king, who should be sleeping deep in the deep sea, came all the way here.]
“That’s because you brought them… … .”
[right. But I didn’t even kill him. Instead, you got one for free. It’s nothing special, just take it as he says.]
At her words, Gerard stepped out once again.
– It’s nothing special. Unplanned actions like this can lead to serious consequences.
[My life was also at stake, I wonder if I even thought about that much. Scrap metal, you’re not with me yet. If you think that what you know is the same as what I know, you are very mistaken. At least have a second awakening and complete it.]
“No, wait. yes, whatever that is What do you mean here is the real fight? Who am I supposed to fight?”
[You don’t have to know yet. As I said earlier, you still… So. It’s not because I’ve hit a singularity.]
“Can you tell me a little bit about it? Or maybe that… Well.”
Tae-jeong tried to spit out something, but then shut her mouth.
The Sky Tower that Aragorn the Black Dragon spoke of.
maybe it’s about that
He wanted to ask like a chimney, but he couldn’t ask because he said never to set foot.
“Anyway, this doesn’t put me in any danger, right?”
[Sure. Sirius is pretty well put together. It’s not perfect until the end.]
“Wrap-up?”
[I’ll let you know in a bit. You will know later why I am greater than Sirius.]
‘Are these all sick with the disease?’
Tae-jeong didn’t understand what he was saying, but one thing was certain.
That you can get one skill now that you will get later.
“So what is the Super Electron Plexion doing?”
– I cannot tell you now.
“You’ll get it soon anyway.”
[It’s useless to ask him. There are restrictions. this body tells me that’s right… It’s a device that can miniaturize the body, just like you now. I said it earlier. You are now in a very small state due to the power of the Triagi.]
“So if I get that, I can get smaller, is this? How far?”
[I don’t even know that. It will depend on the amount of Plexion. make a quick start I’ll take the location.]
At Freesia’s words, Taejeong nodded and replied.
“great. First of all, you can’t use the navigator, Gerard.”
– Yes, master.
“Is it okay if I go around in Taegeuk 1? I mean water pressure or something… I mean.”
– No problem here. However, it is essential to use the navigator when going out.
“OK. Let’s go.”
After deactivating the navigator, Tae-jung uses the booster to move through a huge tunnel like an oyster.
The cave(?) was longer and wider than expected.
A red-brown tunnel with no end in sight.
‘Is this the esophagus, the stomach, or where?’
He had a rough idea of the human body, but he was new to monsters.
A situation that is both unfamiliar and surprising.
I couldn’t help but speak.
“Even this guy will have to digest what he eats. Will stomach acid come out?”
[I wonder why.]
“If you do it wrong, it may melt, but you should be aware of it.”
[Anyway, I guess someone isn’t human. have a lot of fear don’t worry. It’s still a long way to go to the digestive system.]
It’s been a long time since I talked about this and that with Freesia.
Soon after, the vision became hazy and the structure of the burrow changed.
And visible unidentified liquids.
It was seeping out like juice from all sides.
“This.”
[The thing you were worried about.]
“Then, in terms of human organs, this is the stomach? Is your heart out there?”
It was natural.
The stomach and heart are separate organs.
But Freesia’s answer was different.
[The bastard’s heart has to go through the stomach to come out. I have to go down for a while.]
“okay? So, why don’t we get down from here? I think it would be better to go through the outside than to enter here.”
[The sea king’s heart is located in the innermost part between the stomach and the small intestine. In terms of human organs, it’s not accurate, but it’s probably the duodenum.]
“It’s in an odd place. It’s amazing that I can still live like that.”
[Because this guy belongs to a special ancient species. Besides, even if it wasn’t for that, you can’t tear this guy’s stomach wall at your level right now. Even if you tear it up, it will take a long time. Just go straight.]
“I would love to, but… doesn’t it melt? Gerard, how long can I last there?”
-Based on Taegeuk No. 1, you can hold out for about an hour.
“An hour. can’t last that long What about the blaster?”
-It’s about 10 minutes.
“10 minutes. Because the resummon time is 3 minutes… great. Let’s fly every 3 minutes and go to the booster for the rest.”
Taejeong, who had finished speaking, summoned the blaster and quickly started to run away.
Chi-Ik-!
As soon as he entered, juices dripping here and there covered his suit.
At the same time, white smoke rose and an unpleasant sound was heard.
However, as expected, Tae-jung did not panic and increased the speed even more.
The inside was more bizarre than expected.
From huge spiny fish with only bones left, to countless pieces of unidentified meat.
Some were even presumed to be human.
A huge, thick piece of metal firmly embedded in one side of the wall.
It looked like steel.
“What’s this?”
[It is a metal plate processed with magic stone. It seems to be the wreck of a ship.]
“I heard that this guy lives in the deep sea, and he attacks ships too.”
[I don’t know. Who else would have bought his anger like you.]
“If it was processed with magic stones, the price would be quite high.”
[Wake up. There’s nothing wrong with taking that out on your level. Besides, there’s no way something that big could fit in the inventory… … .]
No matter what Freesia said, Taejeong stood in front of the outer wall and summoned a lightsaber.
Zwang-!
“Let’s take a little as a souvenir.”
The sword struck the metal plate.
Weeweewing-!
A reinforced metal plate that resonates and endures.
His eyebrows raised slightly.
“Look at this? It doesn’t seem like it was processed once or twice.”
[Let’s go, quickly.]
“Wait a minute. I started going in.”
The sword was going down little by little.
After a while.
An iron plate cut to the size of an 8 piece of paper fell to the floor.
[He also has a lot of greed.]
“I’d like to take more, but I don’t have time, so I’m just doing this.”
Taejeong picked up the cut board with both hands.
Seeing as it had withstood the lightsaber for quite some time, it was clear that it would be worth a fortune.
Because processed and refined materials and items are quite expensive.
He hurriedly put the plate in his inventory and moved on.
how long has it been like that
Something slithering in the pool came into his field of vision.
“What is that?”
-That’s probably… … .
Before Gerard’s words ran out.
A fluttering thing suddenly emerged, revealing its true identity.
Surprisingly, it was a monster Taejeong had seen before.
“Octopus? It’s the Great King Octopus.”
-you’re right.
“This guy is a mouthful after all. But it looks a little cute here, doesn’t it?”
The Great King Octopus, whom he met in the belly of the Triassic, looked very different from the one Taejeong saw in the past in Namhae.
At that time, it was so huge that it was amazing, but now it is a cute octopus the size of a house (?).
Besides, his body was terribly shrunken, as if he had already started to digest it.
“I’m sorry, but I have to finish it.”
As if there was nothing to think about, his model shot forward.
At the same time, plasma surged from the lightsaber in his hand, and it severed Octopus’ head.
Cheer up-!
[You have defeated King Octopus.]
[Acquire 5 million EXP.]
[You have acquired the Parasitic Giant Clam.]
Even the items were neat.
Even after that, Taejeong was able to face several marine monsters, and each time, he took their lives with his own hands and moved repeatedly.
How long did it go back like that?
After resummoning Blaster three times, he finally reached another space.
A clean space with no stomach acid or by-products.
“I think that beating over there is the heart.”
These were the words Taejeong spat while looking at the unidentified huge pouch that was resonating with the fascia.
Then, something like a haze bloomed in front of him, and soon a woman appeared.
She was Phrygia.
“what? Why me?”
“I have something to check.”
Saying that, she headed for the heart of the Triagi.
And then he put his hand on it.
Shih!
A flash of light shone and a bluish crystal-like object floated before her eyes.
Freesia, who had been silently concentrating for a while, opened her eyes and held the crystal in her hand.
“So it happened. This is much bigger than I thought.”
She muttered and looked at Taejeong with unreliable eyes.
“Only with this guy?”
“What are you talking about, now? What’s with that nasty expression?”
“It seems that Sirius has gone senile. receive.”
At the end of her words, Freesia handed the crystal to Tae-jung.
As soon as she accepted it, her new form disappeared without a trace.
Gerard’s voice is heard at the same time.
-Have you looked into his memories?
[Because I was curious. What are you planning to do with this guy? But I think I just saw it. Sirius gnome. I think I got it wrong this time.]
“hey. what are you guys talking about now what is this stone Is this what it is?”
[The stone’s seal will be released when you get out of the Triagi’s body.]
“okay? But looking into the memory? You must have had a different purpose. Well, no matter how much I think about it, you… So what did you see in his memory?”
It was a question asked in confusion, but her answer was firm as expected.
[You don’t need to know that. let’s go Something is wrong now. It’s been a while.]
