Chapter 87

"What's with you?"

"That, that"

"Ah, this?"

Eden's finger trembled and pointed at my head. I answered while touching the invisible cloth I felt in my palm.

"I received the sunshade item because it was too hot."

""

"Why? Is it weird?"

I asked, wondering if it was strange to see me wearing the cloth alone, but Eden remained silent.

What's wrong with him? Did he get heatstroke? Secretly concerned, I reached out and tapped Eden's stiff cheek.

"Are you okay? Are you using a cooling item?"

""

"Hey!"

Eventually, I slapped Eden's cheek with both hands. It wasn't until his cheeks turned red that Eden came to his senses and grabbed my hand.

"Let's get married! I'll make you happy!"

"Are you crazy? Why are you talking nonsense again?"

As if Eden wasn't already in his right mind, the heat made him even crazier. I clicked my tongue inwardly and swatted Edens hand away.

"I think you're suffering from the heat. Why don't I ask Hunter Guseul to heal you?"

Kkyau!

"YongYong-sik-ah!"

Yong-sik, who followed the fluttering cloth with sparkling eyes, stretched his front paw forward. Yong-sik, who was hanging on my shoulder, jumped from his place and snatched the sunshade cloth with his mouth.

"Kkyauu, kkyau~"

"Oh my goodness

Maybe it's because I always play with him using toys at the accommodation. The fluttering sunshade looked like a great toy to Yong-sik. I chuckled seeing Yong-sik rubbing his body with the thin cloth wrapped around his body.

"Sigh, alright. You can play with it."

"Kkyaau!"

When I saw Yong-sik rolling on the ground, he screamed loudly and found the dungeon recording item. Then, I turned my head towards the gaze I suddenly felt from the side.

"Ah, I'm sorry. You were so considerate when you gave it to me."

""

Lee Geun-ho, who gave me the sunshade cloth, looked at Yong-sik before turning his gaze towards me.

For a moment, his brown eyes sparkled. Was it because of his light-coloured eyes? I blinked when I met his bright eyes that looked like they had just been bathed in sunlight.

"It's okay. Let him play with it."

"Still"

"It's not expensive anyway. I have extras, should I give you one too?"

"Oh, no, it's okay."

I shook my head and glanced towards the front line. It seemed like the combat team battle was about to end. I glanced at the combat team in the distance as they continued to kill the swarming scorpion-like monsters and the monitor lizard-like monsters endlessly.

Kwaaang!

Sung Yoo-bin stood out in the desert field. In the S dungeon, which was located on the beach and in the deep sea, her fire power seemed to be insufficient to be called an incarnation, but here, she was like a fish in water.

Her power shown here might be similar as in the S dungeon with her reversal skill, but the visible impact and sensation were different. Anyway, because of that, it was thrilling to watch from behind. I felt like I was watching a superhero movie from behind the scenes. I turned my head while watching her with excitement.

Once that battle is over, we will soon arrive at the neutral zone. The Muspelheim dungeon's neutral zone was an oasis. There must be water around, because I feel a little cooler.

Even her ability was fading away. Perhaps due to the effects of the status abnormality, the fire ability that always made her entire body hot slowly cooled down.

Damn it

Is this the end?' She never thought she would think of such a clichd line. A self-deprecating smile formed on Sung Yoo-bin's lips.

"Hunter Sung Yoo-bin!"

!

A voice that shouldn't be heard here interrupted her thoughts. Before she could turn her head in surprise, something grabbed her hand.

Their clasped hands became hot. Like pouring oil on a dying fire, the fire inside Sung Yoo-bin reignited in an instant.

[The fatal error has been resolved.]

[The Incarnation's Blessing (S) is activated.]

[You are no longer affected by the status ailment Panic'.]

[The Indomitable Will (S) is activated.]

[All skill levels are temporarily increased.]

"!"

It was a familiar sensation she had felt many times before. A sweet scent wafted past her nose, and in an instant, the stats numbers in the status window boosted up. She subconsciously squeezed the hand she was holding tightly, and she could feel that the man was struggling.

Kieeek.

"Ah."

Perhaps sensing the threatening atmosphere, the big sandworm screamed and used its skill again. However, it didn't work on Sung Yoo-bin, whose stats had reached their limit.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome! Eden, let's go!"

When she let go of his hand with a calm voice, his sweet scent was quickly dispersed into the air, accompanied by a gust of wind. Sung Yoo-bin widened her eyes as she savoured his lingering scent. Soon, a dark red flame rose from her.

Sung Yoo-bin, who had received auxiliary skill, killed all the sandworms that suddenly appeared. Fortunately, she finished it up quickly and no other sandworms appeared. What a relief.

After the healers removed the status ailment and poured in the potion, we were finally able to move again.

When the party arrived safely at the neutral zone, Oasis, Sung Yoo-bin finally unleashed her suppressed anger.

You bastard! I certainly warned you!"

""

Seo Ha-joon kept his mouth shut in the face of a crisis that could have potentially led to the annihilation of the party. Sung Yoo-bin glared at Seo Ha-joon and continued to shout at him.

Even in the S dungeon, high-level monsters that only appear in Zone 3 appear in Zone 1! If you were a vice-guildmaster, you should have anticipated this situation!

""

"That auxiliary skill? So, how's it feel to have been saved by that auxiliary skill? Huh?"

Seo Ha-joon bit his lip at her scathing words. Then, he opened his mouth with an aggrieved look on his face.

"Anyway, if you could have held on a little longer, I could have handled it."

"Sigh"

"I'm serious. I was already working on dispelling the status ailment."

My head tilted slightly at those words. It was because Seo Ha-joon looked unusual to make such an excuse. Sure enough, Sung Yoo-bin also looked at Seo Ha-joon coldly.

"A bastard like you, can't come to your senses until you reach the neutral zone?"

""

Seo Ha-joon just remained silent.
