Chapter 518

“That’s the Holy Land.”
Upon arriving at the sacred site, Myeong-hu said, gazing at its entrance.
“There are many traps. We should keep some distance. I’ll lead the way and trigger the traps.”
With that explanation to Jiyeon, Myeonghu entered the Sacred Ground.
[Zone 3 – You have entered the Sacred Ground.]
Once inside the Sacred Grounds, Myeong-hu quickened his pace to create distance between himself and Ji-yeon.
“Is this far enough?”
Jiyeon, who had stopped at the entrance, asked as the gap widened considerably. Myeonghu turned his head at her question to check the distance between them.
“Yeah, this should be enough.”
It was enough. At this distance, even if a trap activated, they wouldn’t be affected. Myeong-hu and Ji-yeon began moving, maintaining that distance between them.
Thud!
[Trap activated.]
Shh! Shh! Shh!
Not long after they started moving, the first trap activated. It was the same as before. Arrows shot out from the walls on both sides.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Myeong-hu watched the ricocheting arrows and kept moving forward. Once triggered, the trap did not activate again. Ji-yeon stepped over the arrows lying on the ground and followed behind.
[Trap activated.]
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
.
.
[The trap activates.]
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
“Jiyeon! You can come now! The trap’s over.”
After confirming the number of arrows that had been deflected, Myeong-hu told Ji-yeon that the trap was over. Ji-yeon, who had been walking behind, quickly approached upon hearing Myeong-hu’s words.
