The 31st Piece Turns The Tables (PART 1)

Chapter 124

Chapter 124

Seol was more than just shocked. He was utterly astonished.

'My piece... was still alive?'

All of the pieces Seol had encountered so far were dead when he met them.

While he could usually somewhat contain the intense surge of emotions upon meeting them, this time was different.

"There's nothing better than dragon fruit when you're on an empty stomach like that. You're free to skip it if you're too suspicious, but are you sure you'll be okay? You look like you're on the verge of death."

"......"

"Tsk, tsk... What's with your face? Ah, are you experiencing pain mentally?"

Toki was referring to the labyrinth's Mental Contamination. Seol shook his head and answered back.

"Thank you for your kindness, Toki. I... My name is Snowman."

"I see. Well, it's nice to meet you."

"So how... in here..."

Toki completely ignored Seol and simply watched the horizon.

"The sun will set soon. Since this isn't an appropriate place to talk, let's go."

"Go where..."

"Where else? My house."

Seol realized that Toki had arrived here using some form of transportation.

Oink... Oink...

A large desert boar was nearby with luggage dangling off of its back.

'...Did he tame it?'

Desert boars were monsters that appeared in the Penance of Patience. With a violent disposition and incredible strength, desert boars were prone to stabbing anyone who dared to provoke them with their tusks.

"It's two people today, Chubs. Think you can handle it?"

Oink oink...

"Alright, hop on."

Seol looked confused as he got on the back of the desert boar named, 'Chubs.'

'...It's more comfortable than I thought?'

- It's so comfortable, Snowman thought it was a sedan.

- Did you see how confused he got? LMFAOOO

- Who would ride something like this... (falls asleep)

"Let's go."

Oink oink...

Rumble...

Chubs wasn't lightning quick, but its speed was still commendable, especially considering the challenging desert terrain that would catch your feet.

Fwooosh...

The hot desert winds breezed past Seol's skin.

It was something that would've originally annoyed Seol if he was still walking through the desert.

However, now that he was riding on the boar's back, it even felt somewhat pleasant to him.

'Why is Toki still here?'

There were more than just a couple of questions in Seol's head.

How was Toki still alive? How had he managed to survive?

'I need to ask him...'

However, Seol found himself on the verge, both mentally and physically.

Simply traversing the boundless desert on Chubs's back brought forth all his accumulated exhaustion at once.
