The Mirror

Chapter 7 [3/4]

Meanwhile, Minseong and Minsook are walking side by side with their weapons shining in front of them.

"It's so interesting," said Minseong while smiling, "hyeong, Daejoon hyeong is somewhere in the mirror world too."

"Oh really? I heard he is guarding the prison of the evil guardian," said Minsook, "do you know where the prison is?"

"I don't know either. Daejoon hyeong also refused to say the location. He said we still don't know exactly how this telepathy works, he is afraid if someone detects the conversation."

"Now you make it sound like both of you are on the phone," said Minsook while laughing.

"Wait, what the... why?"

Just like Daesun and Bonhwa, Minsook and Minseong also entered a big hallway with an alley behind them that got blocked with branches and roots.

"Does it mean we should pass the first mission?" asked Minseong.

"Oh you're right! Look!"

Something appears from the walls around them, and that something has a pair of wings.

"Oh, is that what Bonhwa hyeong ever talked about?" asked Minsook, "are they fairies?"

Tiny humans wearing green cloth flying around the room and they start to throw sparkling dust.

"If that's true," said Minseong while rolling away, "don't get hit by the dust, hyeong!"

But it's too late for Minsook to avoid the dust and he inhales quite a lot of dust. He is coughing and starts feeling dizzy. Minseong jumps in front of Minsook.

"Hyeong, take cover until you feel better!"

Minseong jumps again and starts attacking the fairies with his axe. There are a lot of them and he needs to be super fast to avoid their dust. Minsook is leaning to the grass wall as he is still feeling dizzy. He is using his arm to cover his mouth and nose.

"Hyeong, noona, look! It's way out!"

Minseong is running faster than me and pointing to a bright alley: it must be the way out. Eunkyung noona is running happily towards Minseong.

"Let's exit and hope that the other group has already escaped! We need to be quick!" Eunkyung noona loudly said, "Minsook, come on!"

But before we could exit the alley, something big was blocking our way: it's my first time to see that thing but I know exactly what it is: a dragon. It's a black giant lizard covered in scales; its claws look so sharp and strong; it has big bat-wings; it has two sharp horns on its head; when it exhales, sparks breathe out of its nose. Someone in black cloak is riding it, sitting on its long neck, holding a spear.

"Watch out!"

But Minseong is too late as Eunkyung noona runs towards the dragon, when she realizes it and about to turn around, the dragon raises up its claw and grabs her by her body.

"Aaaaaaaah!"

"No, noona!"

Minseong is jumping while raising up his axe but the dragon grasps Eunkyung noona tighter, while I can't move... no, I shouldn't move... and watch her being crushed by the strength of the dragon's claw...

"NO!"

"Minsook hyeong?"

Minsook even didn't realize he was already lying on the cold ground, his body trembling uncontrollably while he was sweating hard. Minseong is shaking his body while trying to protect them with his axe.
