Chapter 58

Crack! Crackle...

It was Seol's first time seeing cracks suddenly appear in the clear sky and on the ground he had been treading. After all, taking a glimpse into someone else's memory was rare in itself.

"Why... WHY?!" screamed the ashen knight in rage.

Like a burnt candle on a lone child's birthday cake, the ashen knight poured out her sorrow and regret.

"Krgh..."

Seol held onto Karuna despite it being a difficult situation where even Seol couldn't guarantee his own safety.

Even though Karuna should be the one holding onto Seol to protect him, Karuna was not normal right now.

"I... I... didn't go."

Was it because he realized that the ashen knight was waiting for the blue-eyed knight until her last breath?

Karuna was mentally shocked and couldn't snap out of it.

'Damn it! We won't be able to leave here alive like this!'

Seol couldn't let him die here. It could've been fine if this mental world belonged to someone who had no relation to Karuna, but unfortunately, she had a close connection to one of Seol's important forces.

Until Karuna could straighten up, Seol had to take the reins.

"Jamad!"

"The lump of steel is causing trouble, got it!"

Glow...

Fwirl!

Seol summoned Jamad and he instantly carried both Karuna and Seol over his shoulders.

Seol, now being carried, started to look around him.

[Eyes of Perception activates.]

[You detect movements of foreign mana.]

Eyes of Perception activated at the perfect timing.

It detected a powerful flow of mana in a world that was being destroyed.

And the mana was being continuously drained into one location.

'The crystal's power is about to run out!'

Seol had no clue what would happen to him if he remained here after the crystal's power gave out.

"We have to get out. Over there! Over there, Jamad!"

"Got it! I'm going to run, hang on tight!"

Jamad could be rough in his treatment of Karuna, but not Seol. If Seol was injured because of him, it would be a huge problem.

Seol held onto Jamad's shoulders tightly and did his best to not lose that flow.

Poooooour!

"Damn it! Water!"

Waves suddenly surged out of nowhere, like a flood had broken out. The waves pushed the party back.

Splash!

"Krgh..."

"Pwah! Hrgh..."

Jamad realized that they had no chance at this rate and dove underwater, carrying both Seol and Karuna.

Thanks to that, the harsh waves were a bit easier to handle, and they were steadily able to make progress forward.

'Please... just a little bit more...'
