Chapter 313
Chapter 313 . Breakthrough (6)
The balance of the party was perfect . I handled the firepower, while Daisy attacked me and Yua defended me . I know, this party is fundamentally wrong!
“Dear Husband, there won’t be any strong monsters . Of the remaining regions, we picked the most dangerous places, but their bosses are SSS rank at most . ”
“Mmm . ”
I followed the red line on the 3D hologram map .
“SSS rank… That used to scare me in the past . ”
“Dear Husband had such a time?”
“Do you think I was born with a god’s true name?”
I flicked one of the succubi’s forehead and memorized the route on the map . As monsters were practically extinct in Asia and Oceania, we planned on cleaning up North America this time .
“I've always wanted to go to Greenland with Oppa…”
“Greenland sounds great . It should have the highest quantity of monsters . ”
Of course, as I had already seen endless snowy land when I was in Antarctica, Greenland’s sceneries didn’t give me much joy .
In any case, Greenland’s population was only around 60,000 . There was nothing they could do against the initial monster invasion and, as a result, Greenland became an island of monsters with no humans to be seen .
“Yes? Oh, monsters…”
Yua made a wry expression . She might have been excited because this was the first time she participated in a hunt . But Yua, this won’t be anything like what you’re thinking .
Daisy also seemed to have no interest in corpses she could acquire from this trip .
“SSS rank, nothing special . But killing monsters is, important . So they don’t cause a problem later on . ”
The words of someone with experience was always important . Monsters had a higher chance of crossing over the dimension when there were monsters already on the other side . This property was what made this dimensional pathway so troubling . I pointed at the regions I and other Revival members had cleaned up and asked the succubi .
“Once we’re done with North America, will we be half done?”
“Yes, about so . When Event Dungeons appeared in mass last time, most of the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean were cleaned up . But…”
I knew what she wanted to say, that the monster outbreak wasn’t over . If even a single Event Dungeon was left untouched, it would explode and cover the land with monsters . If all monsters of the other world planned on crossing over to this side, we couldn’t relax . I had a feeling the next outbreak would occur soon, and after that event would surely be the descent of the Demon Lord…
With a bitter smile, I touched my forehead .
“I really wish I had three bodies . ”
In the past, I just had to take care of myself and my family . But now, I knew too well that the danger Earth was facing was a danger I had to solve, especially because I knew the truth .
“You’re already doing great, Dear Husband . No one else can do what you’re doing . Cheer up!”
“Thanks . ”
All of the succubi here had lost their home, but rather than resenting others, they placed their hopes on me and followed me . It would be wrong of me to show my weakness in front of them . I grabbed the hand of the succubus who encouraged me .
“Tell Licorice and the other succubi that I said thanks . ”
“Aaaaah, me too!”
“Me too, me too!”
“Ah, he’s already leaving!”
I waved my hand and bid farewell with Yua and Daisy . As the door closed, I could see the succubus I held hands with about to get lynched by the others .
I then recalled something .
Can’t those girls just share their sense of touch…!?
“Oppa, are we going right away?”
“Yeah . I saw Mother before, so we can go . ”
For the record, Mother finally broke through the 20th floor thanks to receiving help from others . Though she could kill a single orc by herself, I made her stop climbing the dungeon for now and made her enter the guild . Just like Father, Mother also treated the guild house as hers, but that didn’t change the fact that I was the guild master . I assigned her to the same room as Father .
“It shouldn’t take long . ”
“Oppa… After we’re done, can we spend a few hours sightseeing…?”
“Sure, as long as it's only for a few hours . ”
Yua clenched her fists in happiness . Seeing Yua jump around in joy, Daisy tilted her head and asked .
“What’s, sightseeing?”
“It’s when you travel to a foreign place and see its famous monuments or sights . ”
“Aha . ”
Daisy nodded her head .
“So it’s looking at another country’s culture, comparing them to our own and mocking them?”
“You should do something about your twisted way of thinking . ”
Though the last part of what she said was completely wrong, I could somewhat relate to the beginning part . If I went to a foreign country and saw the same things as if I was home, the trip would feel like a waste . What made traveling fun was seeing and experiencing new things .
“Once we reclaim Sylon continent, Kang Shin should come sightsee . ”
“I’ll see it while I’m reclaiming it anyways . ”
“Un . Let’s see it, together . ”
“Sure . ”
“Child in my tummy will see too . ”
“No, that won’t be happening . ”
“Daisy Unni…!”
Yua, who was burning with her passion for sightseeing, glared at Daisy when she heard what she said, but Daisy easily pushed Yua’s gaze back . As I thought, Yua can’t win against Daisy!
Our travel route was extremely simple . Starting from Alaska, we would receive Guardian and Freedom Wing’s guide and clean up any monster we see up to our final destination which was Greenland .
But before we left our guild house in Jongno, a long-haired girl wearing a black leather suit hurriedly entered the guild house . … Eh?
“Ye-Eun?”
“Huff, huff, I’m not late . Thank god… I saw the helicopter outside, so I didn’t think you had left yet . ”
Ye-Eun caught her breath and approached us .
“Let me join in . I want to be of help too . ”
“We already have three people going . What about the dungeon?”
“I broke through the 70th floor!”
This monster .
“I can take some time off now, right?”
“You’re all too amazing . ”
We were making a trip to clean up a continent, but Yua was treating it as sightseeing, Daisy was treating it as relationship business, and Ye-Eun was treating it as something to do while resting . If Ye-Eun had broken through the 70th floor, she was on a much quicker pace than many of the others, especially considering when she first entered the dungeon . Plus, with me next to her, there shouldn’t be any trouble…
“Sure, Ye-Eun . I’ve been wanting to talk to you for a while . We can do that once we’re done . ”
“Un!”
Ye-Eun spoke with a bright smile . Daisy clicked her tongue .
“More hindrances…”
“Who are you calling a hindrance! You’re the hindrance!”
“Your teachers are friends, so you guys try to get along too . ”
“Hecate told me, watch out for Duca . Her greatest enemy . Steals all good men, and their purities . ”
Duca? Well, I guess Hecate would know more about her than me .
“I can’t argue with that, but…”
“Uuu, my cozy trip with Oppa is being ruined… No, four people are better than the usual anyway…!”
Yua murmured to herself with a frown . Afterward, we got on the helicopter, which would fly us straight to the airport .
“Ah, by the way, Shin . Ciara told me to tell you something . She wanted to tell you by telepathy, but she couldn’t because of your magic resistance . ”
“Ciara did?”
I left Ciara to Hwaya after the last time I talked to her, so when did Ye-Eun get that close with Ciara? Seeing me tilt my head, Ye-Eun spoke with a smile .
“Last month, we formed a second alliance as a sign of letting bygones be bygones . ”
“What’s that?”
“That’s a secret . Ehehe . ”
“… That alliance, can you let me in?”
“No, not Daisy!”
“So what did Ciara want to tell me? Just that she couldn’t send me telepathies?”
“Oh, right . ”
Ye-Eun spoke while she continued to be on guard against Daisy .
“She said there might be an enemy stronger than the last time . She said she’s not sure, but told us to be prepared for anything that might happen . ”
“… I see . ”
“She apparently foresaw it this afternoon . When I told her I was going to follow you, she told me to pass on the message . ”
Suddenly, Ye-Eun clapped her hands and added .
“Oh right, she said it’ll be the demons… But what does this all mean?”
“You don’t have to know for now . I’ll tell you later . ”
My head suddenly began to throb . It felt like this happened every time I went out . Was I just picking places that are likely to cause trouble? After thinking for a little while, I asked .
“There are no survivors in Alaska, right?”
“Yes, Oppa . Alaska has been completely taken over by monsters . ”
Yua immediately answered . I checked the map again .
It shouldn’t be the middle of America, right? Places with nothing but monsters . The most probable place had to be Alaska or Greenland .
“… Should I go alone?”
“Together . ”
“Let me go, too! I told you, I won’t get in the way!”
To be honest, I wasn’t worried about Daisy or Ye-Eun . I didn’t need to say much about Daisy, and Ye-Eun could always summon Duca and run .
The person I was worried about seemed to know it too .
“Is it dangerous to the point I’ll cause trouble for Oppa?”
Right, the problem was Yua . Her mantis army was powerful . With them around, she could take care of most monsters . But her army was useless in front of a single enemy with absolute power .
“Don’t worry, Oppa . I have Luna . ”
“Luna?”
I looked at the yawning baby dragon in Yua’s arms . Realizing that I was looking at her, Luna looked back at me with clear eyes . Cute .
“Luna is really strong . She has abilities even I don’t know about . ”
“Really?”
I tilted my head and checked Luna’s mana . Indeed, she had an unbelievable amount of mana within her . How so much mana could fit in her tiny body was a true mystery .
“The reason I’m going with Oppa is more for Luna than the mantises . Luna eats a lot . ”
“…”
I reached my hand towards Luna’s head . The singular horn on Luna’s head was small, yet tough and sharp . When I touched it, Luna flinched, but she stayed still realizing that I meant no harm . After petting her for a while, I took my hand off . Luna cried quietly and rubbed her face against my hand . Yua smiled sweetly and whispered to Luna .
“That’s right, Luna, it’s Daddy . ”
“Haha, Yua is good at making jokes . ”
With those words, I stroked Luna again . Good, I made my decision .
Two hours later, the four of us arrived in Alaska .
