Chapter 182

182. Last Mission 1

“Move slowly.”

“yes?”

“Already?”

Organizing his thoughts, Kang Seung-hyun raised the puppeteers who had collapsed from exhaustion.

“You must be very tired, but it’s not the time to be like this.”

“Let’s rest for a bit and then go...”

Of course, the puppet masters were crying as if they were going to die soon.

It was because he poured all his mana to stop the collapsing ceiling, and he had no stamina left from escaping from the workshop.

“Even though the last mission from Wismel-nim remains?”

“The mission Wizmel-nim gave you?”

“What is it?”

However, when Wismel was mentioned, one by one they came to their senses and began to stand up.

“Think of what Tracotti will be like now.”

Mass-produced dolls taken by Harvey Golem have turned the town into chaos, and a few adventurers have been brought back to life and are in poor condition.

To make matters worse, Wismel’s blessing that protected the village is gone.

“It’s the perfect timing for a monster to invade.”

If we don’t return to Tracotti immediately, all the children Wismel saved will follow Wismel.

“In other words, what we have to do is...”

“The last mission that Wismel-nim left behind!”

To keep Tracotti safe.

This is Wismel’s final mission, and it is the atonement that those who left Wismel due to wrong judgments must bear for the rest of their lives.

“This is not the time to be relieved that you are alive!”

“Everybody let’s move!”

The puppeteers who came to their senses started looking for an exit.

drooling.

A puppeteer looking inside the temple found another door.

“I found the door leading out!”

“But it seems to be locked...”

“Ah, maybe this is the key?”

Kim Ho-jung, who was digging through a pile of jewels, found a key made of baked clay.

It seems that Wismel has prepared thoroughly.

Click!

When I opened the locked door with the key, a magic circle floated above the door.

Pasha!

The magic circle shattered and disappeared without a trace.

Right after that, the key that had finished its work also turned to dust and disappeared along with it.

“The door is open!”

“I don’t know where it leads, but if you look at what Wizmel-nim has prepared, you should be able to get to Tracotti safely!”

“We’re leaving right away.”

Kang Seung-hyun and the others crossed the door.

“uh? here is?”

Kim Ho-jeong, who came out first, opened her mouth with a puzzled face.

“Why are you like that?”

“Here... is it there? The secret base where I stayed with the Red Road kids.”

Beyond the door was a secret base where Red Road, who had nowhere to go after the collapse of the hideout a few days ago, stayed for a while.

It was empty now, probably because everyone had left for the village.

‘Come to think of it, I found a hidden door here then.’

I never thought that the door would lead to Wismel’s underground temple. Apparently, the identity of the secret base was a shelter for the Wismel Temple.

‘If I had just opened the door and entered, I would have destroyed the pen grill before Wismel resurrected.’

If you’re going to leave the key, I’ll hide it here.

Again, Wismel is not helpful when it is decisive.

“Ah sir! Look over there!”

“This is what Wismel-sama’s blessings meant to disappear.”

When I went out of the secret base, the scenery I saw was not a bright red forest, but a plain color forest that seemed to have drained water somewhere.

“The rich red forest...”

“Was the reason why the forest was red in the first place was Wismel-sama’s power...”

“These lazy people?”

Originally, the puppet masters were the ones who shut themselves in the studio and did their own thing regardless of whether monsters came or not.

“We will fight for Tracotti too!”

“If you can still fight, let’s fight together! If you are injured, go to Healer Kang Seung-hyun!”

“I see. Let’s all move!”

Even the dazed adventurers came to their senses and began to move.

PABABABAK!!

[Pria’s bond pouch]

[Generates medium stamina potion arrows.]

[Generates medium stamina potion arrows.]

“Thank you!”

“Thanks to you, I’m alive...”

Kang Seung-hyun treated the injured.

Although there were overflowing patients with serious injuries such as torn flesh and broken bones.

‘This much is easy.’

Broken bones were made new using [Earth Bones], and torn flesh was sewn together using [Sewing].

‘Because I just have to do what I normally do.’

As always, he treated the patient in the way of a yamae healer.

“There are plenty of recovery items and potions, so I’ll leave the supply to the Adventurer’s Guild.”

“I get it. If your wounds are not deep, come this way!”

“Please give the Essence of the Earth to the puppeteer. It’s because you’re dealing with an earth attribute skill.”

According to the command of the Masen branch, the union staff moved in perfect order and started distributing potions and items.

“As you can see, I have a lot of work to do today. Kim Ho-jeong is in charge of handling the monsters.”

“Leave it to me!”

Kim Ho-jung lifted the golden glory.

Now that Kang Seung-hyun has fallen behind, the strongest adventurer in Tracotti is Kim Ho-jeong.

‘Because it’s okay to rot.’

No matter how crappy the dimension movers are, they are incomparably stronger than ordinary adventurers.

‘Even if it comes down to catching monsters, I’d be good at blocking them.’

Kim Ho-jung, who actually ran out, said,

“Go! Pillars of the Earth!”

Instead of clumsily trying to catch the monster, he blocked the monster with his skill at digging.

“Isn’t it too late? Let’s fight together!”

“Rebecca! You’re all right!”

Rebecca, along with her allies, stopped the oncoming monsters. With a brighter face that I had never seen before.

“You’re so amazing.... To flip a fight that I thought was over like this.”

Masen, who looked around, opened his mouth in admiration.

“It was only possible because the adventurers held out until we arrived.”

“I don’t have the confidence to lead the puppet masters. None of this would be possible without you.”

I thought that the Puppeteers, an internal force of Tracotti, and the Adventurers, an external force of Tracotti, could never get along.

Kang Seung-hyun made the impossible possible.

Koo Goo Goo!!!

“Sensei Kang, something big is coming?”

“I thought it would come soon.”

With a loud earth rumble, a huge humanoid boulder appeared from the depths of the forest leading his men.

“That rock giant is the leader leading this raid.”

As with all monster raids, if you deal with only the large-scale monsters, the rest of the monsters will leave on their own.

“Is it okay to just defeat that guy?”

“But it’s too much to stop the mobs coming in!”

“From now on, the number of monsters coming will double. I will leave it to you guys.”

Kang Seung-hyun, who was behind him, stood up.

“I will take care of that guy.”

“Then you’re going to stop that monster alone, Healer?”

“Actually, it doesn’t matter, but... it’s a waste of time, so I’ve been looking for someone to help.”

right!

At that moment, the dolls that had been abandoned all over the village began to stand up all at once.

“The best puppeteer in Tracotti.”
