In the Name of God - Chapter 103.2
-This one has a fine grain of mana, so if we steam and eat it, it will be a supreme dish.
-No, boiling down the marrow to drink as a soup is the best.
-You guys do not know a thing. Humans are best when chewed and eaten raw.
The human language flowing from the beasts’ snouts was more terrifying than any scream.
At that time, my apostle had set out along with other Awakeners to wipe them out, but suffered a miserable defeat in front of that abnormal intelligence and cruelty. No matter how immature the state was, they were strong enough to have almost no rivals, yet.
The bastards felt extreme terror toward the apostle who had slaughtered half of the auction house alone. However, that shudder soon deteriorated into a bizarre obsession. It became a twisted greed to put the apostle into their own mouths at any cost, no matter how much they feared them.
My memories up to that point.
Since my memories were cut off after that, I could not know more, but anyway, it was certain to be a truly disgusting sight.
‘Even thinking about it now makes me feel like vomiting.’
Without realizing it, I covered my mouth with one hand. The hideous appearance of the monsters drooling because they wanted to eat my apostle remained vividly in my head.
‘If you are going to cut memories, cut scenes like that together too, please.’
As I was fumbling through my memories, it just ruined my mood for nothing.
Frowning at the unpleasantness, I raised my head at the touch wrapping around my shoulders.
“Should we really just go back if you are feeling unwell?”
Lee Sunho was looking at me with a worried face. Even the smile he usually hung like a habit was not visible.
Lowering the hand that had covered my mouth, I shook my head.
“No, I am fine.”
Only after the words left my mouth did I feel a strange sense of incongruity.
‘Really?’
Lee Sunho’s words sounded as if he had guessed in advance that I might have trauma related to this place.
“Hey, about you…”
“Hmm?”
Starting to speak, I hesitated as I looked into Lee Sunho’s clear pupils.
‘Am I overthinking things?’
It is just something anyone could say. Since I was in a state where I could not even leave the bed until just yesterday, he might have simply thought my condition was still not good.
“Just… Thank you for worrying.”
“What is there to make a fuss about?”
Smiling faintly, Lee Sunho lightly patted my shoulder.
“If it is tough at all, tell me right away. Even if you say the pain is almost gone, there will still be stiffness, so if the worst comes to worst, I can carry you on my……”
“Forget it.”
Now that I look at it, this bastard wasn’t worried about my mood, he was worried about my waist and back, wasn’t he?
Glaring at Lee Sunho once, I walked ahead toward the building. I could feel Lee Sunho chuckling quietly as he followed behind me.
The entrance of the building was a blue glass door.
As I stood before it, a transparent wave of mana rippled through the air and swept over us. It was the security system for ‘rank verification’, which was the first gateway among the dozens of barriers I had observed from outside earlier.
-Awakener Seong Do-yoon, Rank 6. Awakener Lee Sunho, Rank 6. Welcome.
Along with a mechanical guide voice, the iron door slid open without a sound. The moment I stepped past the door, the first thing I felt was a mana density refined to the point of coolness. The desolate, fortress-like appearance I saw from outside was nowhere to be seen.
“Woah…”
As soon as I stepped in, a low exclamation escaped my lips without my realizing it.
In the grand lobby, where the height of the ceiling was immeasurable, dozens of magic stone chandeliers emitting a soft cyan-white light were hanging. The floor was laid with top-grade marble so thick it seemed to swallow even the sound of footsteps, and a dense fragrance of mana drifted through the air.
At that moment, a strange sense of incongruity struck me hard.
‘What is this?’
An annoyance like a very fine foreign substance caught at the edge of my senses was felt. I could not explain exactly what it was, but this kind of premonition had never missed the mark since before I entered this world.
Just as I was instinctively sharpening my senses and standing completely on guard.
Something that approached quietly without a trace of presence from the side reached out a hand toward me. Startled, as I turned my gaze, I saw Lee Sunho abruptly grab the hand of someone who had approached me.
“…Huh?”
Seeing the person who had appeared so suddenly, I opened my eyes wide in circles.
“Why are you here?”
He, who had reached out his hand toward me only to be caught by Lee Sunho and freeze stiffly, was Kwon Jeong-han, who possessed an enormous, god-like sense of intuition.
