Chapter 291
The barrier continued to appear repeatedly, blocking the path.
Of course, Jeong-hoon dispelled all of them.
“There are so many…”
Bong-Goo clicked his tongue.
Jeong-hoon had already dispelled seven of them.
Even so, the staircase showed no sign of ending.
It was so deep that nothing could be seen below, and it felt like a single misstep could mean death.
“We’re almost there.”
“Hyung-nim? It’s way too deep to say we’re almost there…”
“Are you talking back to me?”
“N-No, sir!”
Bong-Goo shouted with discipline.
Seeing this, Jeong-hoon chuckled and added an explanation.
“It’s because of the barrier. We really are almost there.”
Just as Jeong-hoon said, it didn’t take long for another barrier to appear.
‘This is the last one.’
Before his regression, those who had personally dispelled the barriers said there were a total of eight.
So, this had to be the final one.
Jeong-hoon put on his deciphering lenses and placed his hand on the barrier.
The technique of the final barrier was noticeably more intricate and complex than the previous ones.
Wooong—
Just deciphering the technique took nearly ten minutes.
Still, Jeong-hoon never lost focus. In fact, he concentrated even more as he worked through the technique.
Nearly two hours passed like that.
Crash!
The moment he dispelled the technique, the barrier shattered.
As the barrier broke, the surroundings brightened, revealing a statue ahead.
“What the…? Why is the staircase so short?”
Now that all the barriers were gone, the staircase was absurdly short.
It only took a few steps to reach the statue.
In other words, they had been trapped in a loop, walking in circles due to the barriers.
“That is the opportunity we’ve been
"Ugh... why is it so cold..."
"Ugh..."
Ha-Jin and Bong-Goo already began to groan in discomfort.
Although their stats had transferred and they were fully equipped, making it easy for them to overcome most environments, this Frostbite was on a whole different level.
It was so cold, it felt like their very bones were frozen.
"See, I told you I should go alone."
Jeong-hoon forced a bitter smile.
"Son, do you have a strategy?"
His mother, despite the cold, calmly asked about the strategy.
Jeong-hoon nodded.
"Yes. Mother, you should take cover behind that rock and focus on targeting Serion's forehead and solar plexus."
That spot was Serion’s weak point.
"Got it."
His mother nodded and then hid behind the rock Jeong-hoon pointed out.
"Then the rest of us will go with me to face Serion. Are you all ready?"
Everyone nodded and took their combat stances.
