Ra Ho-yeon, Seo Yun-chae, Shin Tae-beom, and Cha Si-yoon, who had just woken up, seemed bewildered.
Shin Tae-beom blinked.
“It’s… over? We were just facing Ban No-ah until a moment ago…”
I snorted and pinched Shin Tae-beom’s cheek.
“Ouch!”
I misjudged my strength.
Anyway, the other members, except for Shin Tae-beom, seemed to have come to their senses, seeing them surreptitiously cover their cheeks.
I put my hands on my hips and told the members.
“Ban No-ah ran away a long time ago. He tried to trap us all in this mutated Dungeon, and he almost succeeded.”
“What?”
“Fortunately, I was able to steal the red orb that Ban No-ah had, so we can get out now.”
I nodded to the members, who were dumbfounded, and pointed to the escape hole in the Dungeon wall.
Seo Yun-chae frowned as if he had a bad headache.
“What happened…”
I healed all the Secrety members with Guiding and helped them up.
“Let’s talk on the way. Getting out of here is the priority now.”
I was able to create an escape hole because the red gem I stole from Ban No-ah was luckily useful, but it was unknown how long it would last.
‘I don’t know how long it will last.’
So I had to get out of the Dungeon quickly.
I didn’t know what Ban No-ah, that crazy Ability User killer, was up to outside.
When I finished the Guiding that lowered the Corruption Level by holding their hands, the members, who had returned to their normal condition, followed us to the escape hole, albeit awkwardly.
‘Once we get out, I’m going to find Ban No-ah again and make him die young.’
It was then.
Dududududu-.
From far away, I could hear the sound of something huge approaching this way like crazy.
As soon as Jae-ha and I heard the sound, we immediately realized what it meant and pushed our companions into the hole.
“Leader?”
Ha Ri-ra shouted in surprise, but Jae-ha quickly sent the White Tiger Unit members over the hole with telekinesis.
“Go quickly!”
“But we have to send the Leader first…”
“The boss monster of this place is coming. It’s better for me to handle it alone!”
Leaving behind the cries of his companions asking to fight together, Jae-ha first evacuated the members except for himself to the outside.
The same was true for me.
The Secrety members were just fledglings who had only completed basic training, so they were even less helpful than the White Tiger Unit members, so it was better to send them outside.
‘It’s more of a problem if they get hurt here.’
Jae-ha and I didn’t exchange a word, we just exchanged glances, but we immediately understood each other’s intentions and took action.
Without hesitation, I helped the members escape into the hole, pushing their backs like Jae-ha.
Cha Si-yoon, the youngest, kept looking back and calling me.
“Hyung! Ga-hyeon Hyung! We have to go together…!”
“We’ll go together. After dealing with that thing.”
The noise that shook the ground grew louder and louder.
Keura-ra-ra-ra-rak-!
Soon, a scorpion monster with a dark red shell came into view.
A huge body. Poisonous gas spewing out in all directions.
‘Jae-ha moved 100km away, but it’s so ferocious that it’s chasing us.’
Surely, that guy must have chased us all the way here to avoid missing its prey.
‘We must not let such a monster out.’
We stood back to back to the escape hole at the same time, without either of us saying anything first.
Then, we raised our heads and looked into each other’s eyes.
The moment our eyes met, a strange joy bloomed.
A partner who works in perfect harmony without having to say anything. My heart swelled.
Jae-ha’s blue eyes curved softly.
“You were thinking the same thing as me.”
“You too.”
It was a feeling I hadn’t felt in a long time.
I remembered the countless battles I had fought with Jae-ha. As vivid as if it were yesterday.
The days when we roamed the Dungeon like thread and needle, like one body, and slaughtered threatening monsters.
I thought it was the most miserable time in my life, but looking back now, it was a time full of fulfillment and not lonely because I was with Jae-ha.
Keura-ra-ra-ra-rak-! Keura-rak!
The scorpion monster cried out loudly, but we smiled at each other.
“Shall we charge?”
“That’s what I wanted.”
When the scorpion monster came almost right in front of us.
I pulled Jae-ha in and shared a deep kiss.
It was just Guiding to make the battle more efficient.
But the pulse transmitted from my heart was different this time.
A throbbing different from the tension before a fight touched my heart.
A large amount of Guiding energy was transferred from me to Jae-ha due to the short kiss.
The energy that was originally mine always gave me a chilling yet strangely ecstatic feeling when it was transferred to another person.
‘Is it because the other person is Jae-ha?’
I couldn’t feel any other sensations with other Espers.
A tingling sensation that made the hair on my head stand on end was transmitted to me.
Even though I knew that Espers couldn’t transmit any energy to Guides.
Even in that short time, Jae-ha licked every inch of my tongue and stimulated my palate as if it were a honey-filled pond. Jae-ha’s tongue movements made me suddenly feel a surge of emotion.
From fingertips to toes. An unknown emotion that deeply dyes every corner of my heart red.
Finally, our lips parted, and a long silver thread was created between us.
It was an instant like eternity.
A long and deep pleasure that could not be regarded as an instant swept over us.
Keura-rak!
In the meantime, the scorpion monster had reached right in front of us.
Even though sand grains bounced off and grazed my cheek, we didn’t feel any fear.
Jae-ha leisurely pressed his lips to my forehead.
“I’ll be back.”
“Come back safely.”
Blue flames flickered brightly in Jae-ha’s eyes.
Jae-ha, who had been injected with more than enough Guiding energy from me, lightly bounced into the air like a bee.
Keura-rak?!
When one of its prey disappeared from its sight, the scorpion monster was momentarily flustered and looked up.
I smiled at the sight.
“That won’t do.”
At that moment, the sky flashed and a sharp gust of wind fell on the monster like a thunderbolt with the sound of several whirring noises.
Only I could recognize that attack.
Jae-ha compressed and compressed his telekinesis and launched several attacks in the form of a blade.
Seogeong, seogeong.
A clean sound like cutting meat with a machine at a butcher shop rang in my ears.
The scorpion monster, which didn’t know what had happened, was bewildered.
Keura-ra…?
It had no choice but to try to target me instead of Jae-ha, who had jumped into the sky, but it soon screamed like a seizure and collapsed.
Kieeeeeeeee-!
No, it might be more accurate to say that it was disassembled rather than collapsed.
At the same time as the monster’s purple body fluids burst in all directions, the scorpion monster’s body was cut off like dicing cube steak.
The dark red shell, which was thick and hard and seemed impossible to cut with any weapon, was futilely cut off.
Kiiiiii….
With a final scream, the scorpion monster died without even closing its eyes.
Before the butchered body fell here and there with a thud, Jae-ha came down gently from the sky to pick me up.
Chiik-.
It was to prevent me from touching the monster’s poisonous body fluids that were bursting everywhere.
I leaned into Jae-ha’s arms in a comfortable position and looked down at the red sky of the Dungeon.
“It’s spectacular.”
It would only be a disgusting sight to others.
Jae-ha’s work, who had been active after receiving my Guiding, was just lovely.
“It’s thanks to you.”
Jae-ha, who had been acting leisurely like a pro when we had that amazing kiss earlier, blushed and asked me after everything was over.
“…Did you not hate the kiss?”
He even added a cute sound, his ears turning red.
When I couldn’t help but burst into laughter, his whole body turned as red as a carrot.
It was hard to distinguish between the red sky and Jae-ha.
“What kiss are you talking about with Guiding?”
Jae-ha replied shyly to my giggling.
Putting sincerity into that moment.
“It was a kiss to me. My first kiss.”
“…Huh?”
“Not Guiding, but my first kiss with selfish intentions towards you.”
Then Jae-ha lightly kissed me.
Unlike the deep kiss earlier, it was a shy kiss.
As if a small bluebird was pecking with its beak.
Only the pupils shone blue in Jae-ha’s red face.
“…I love you, Ga-hyeon.”
“……”
“I’ve been waiting for the moment when I could confess to you again.”
Then and now.
Even a insensitive person like me could tell what Jae-ha was saying to me now.
Confession.
I received a love confession from Jae-ha.
