Chapter 95: Come to your senses!
Why the hell is he doing that?
The sight made those words leave my mouth involuntarily.
A grotesque monster was opening its mouth wide, but Kim Cheonsu, seemingly unaware, was approaching with a dazed face.
If left alone, Kim Cheonsu’s face would end up shattered like a chewed lollipop.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
I took off the clothes I was wearing, threw them aside, and ran towards Kim Cheonsu.
Having come this far, I didn’t have to worry about meeting other people, and now that a confrontation was certain, it wasn’t a situation to be picky.
...Although it felt strange, like transforming in a cartoon, I didn’t have time to indulge in such weird sentiments.
With *squish squish* sounds, I ran towards Kim Cheonsu while taking off my clothes, and whatever didn’t come off easily, I just absorbed into my body.
I felt a chill as if my jelly would freeze.
Even though I ran to Kim Cheonsu going that far...
Somehow, I had a feeling I wouldn’t make it in time.
It seemed Kim Cheonsu would reach that monster faster than I could cover the remaining distance.
If only I could make a sound at a time like this... Even just yelling...
Cheonsu! Come to your senses! You'll die like that!
Did my wish reach him?
From the device around my neck, Han Seori’s loud voice rang out.
Her clear, high-pitched voice spread haphazardly in the cave as if shouting in a public bath.
My jelly trembled from the reverberating voice, so you could imagine how loud it must have been.
And did it have an effect?
Kim Cheonsu’s dazed steps faltered.
Then, as if responding to that, from the monster’s throat...
“That voice is fake. Come this way.”
A voice like Han Seori’s flowed out.
It may be a bit rude to say this to Han Seori, but... it really sounded the same.
Soon after, Kim Cheonsu’s halted steps moved again.
No matter how much Han Seori shouted, Kim Cheonsu’s steps would no longer stop.
Just when I thought his head would surely snap off...
I noticed a cube floating around in my body.
A toy presumed to have been dropped by Kim Cheonsu.
With my gaze on it, I took the cube out of my body.
Feeling like I’d become the blue robot from a cartoon, I vigorously threw the cube I took out.
The target was Kim Cheonsu’s head.
The distance was closer than I thought, so it didn’t seem like it would be hard to hit.
...I wondered how effective it would be even if I threw it with my strength, but it wasn’t a time to be picky.
I put all my power into the jelly and threw the cube!
The cube that left my hand like that...
The cube...
...flew towards Kim Cheonsu’s face with a thrust different from what I expected, making a strange sound.
The quickly flying cube hit Kim Cheonsu’s head with a *thud!*
It shattered into pieces and scattered in all directions.
At the sight that could be called gruesome, even I, the one who threw the cube, flinched with my jelly and stopped.
And Kim Cheonsu also stopped.
...Although it flew more strongly than I thought, what matters is that I achieved my goal, right?
However, Kim Cheonsu didn’t just stop moving...
“Ugh...!”
As if he’d fainted, he collapsed backward.
I ran to him in a fluster and sat on the ground, catching his body.
His head landed safely near my lower abdomen.
Feeling the chill and hardness coming from my bottom area, I broke out in a cold sweat behind the jelly.
If... the usual man had fallen straight down...
...Perhaps to Han Seori, the anomaly that appeared before her eyes now might be more important than that.
In response to that voice, Kim Cheonsu answered with a somewhat bitter yet relieved expression.
“That’s right. At first, I thought you had come to rescue me, so I went outside... But when I came to my senses, I was on a snowy field. And when I lost consciousness again at the voice... I was in this state.”
Is it putting him in some kind of trance?
That aside, it seems to be able to lure from quite a distance.
Although it’s currently clinging to Kim Cheonsu... if it gives up and targets other prey...
It doesn’t seem like it would lead to good results.
...We'll have to deal with it right away, or there will be an accident.
Han Seori also quickly noticed that and spoke in a regretful voice.
Somehow, that voice seemed to pity me...
And I had a feeling it wasn’t a misunderstanding.
After all, how could Kim Cheonsu, who is practically bare-handed right now, deal with that hideous monster?
Honestly, looking at those jagged teeth filling that monster makes me shrink back a bit, but thanks to the bizarre strength I experienced a moment ago, I feel like I can handle it.
...Ahh.
I didn’t want to show off my skills here.
They’ll probably tell me to handle everything.
Come to think of it, it seems to have been like that for a while now.
What the...
*Sigh*
In the end, it’s going to turn out like that.
As I was accepting my fate, Han Seori’s questions continued.
How is it now? Is your mind clear?
“Yes, yes. I think I’m okay.”
That's a relief.
This is all possible because that monster is just opening its mouth wide.
Oh.
Come to think of it, I only hear one of Han Seori’s voices?
Feeling strange, I focused my gaze and saw the monster with its mouth closed, staring at me and Kim Cheonsu.
Vertically split, pitch-black pupils.
It gave off a strong monster vibe.
It was as if wanting to show that it appeared in a pure white space, like outside. Its body was covered in white fur.
I was relieved... that the fur wasn’t dyed red.
Anyway...
Since it showed signs of taking other actions, I slowly stepped forward and shielded Kim Cheonsu’s body.
...With my gaze that could see the back as well, the mass was woefully insufficient, but the meaning seemed to be conveyed as Kim Cheonsu made a face that seemed somewhat moved to tears.
It felt a bit... excessive, but it didn’t feel too bad.
And so...
A contest with the unidentified furry monster began.
Not with snowballs to throw, but with eyes to stare.
In the first place, there was no snow piled up in here, so it was only natural.
As it stared at me...
I also stared at it.
Its body seemed to extend deep into the cave, forming a shape that continued into the darkness.
Perhaps there was no barrier, but that place was its limit.
Now, what should I do?
Should I charge at it and coolly subdue it... to get rid of it?
While I was running simulations in my head about how to cook it after rushing at it, since Han Seori had yet to give further instructions...
*Rumble rumble!*
Suddenly, the cave began to shake.
