Why Won't You Let Me Slack!?

Chapter 57

Crossing Cheongdam Bridge, the group of five entered Gwangjin-gu.

Little by little, the surrounding ecology of the area could be felt changing. Grass was growing on the streets and instead of rotting bodies, the smell of monster feces filled the area... which wasn't exactly an improvement to say the least.

A trunk of a huge plant emerged from the ground and wrapped around the surrounding high-rise buildings.

[The 7th grade plant species 'Yanaspleta' is on the lookout.]

Seeing Han Sooyoung pulling out a weapon, Kim Dokja held out his hand to stop her, "Don't act so rashly. It's fine as long as we don't attack first."

"...Don't these types of monsters suddenly attack with tentacles?"

Subconsciously shuddering at a certain memory (A/N: flashback to chapter 22 lol), Kim Dokja shook his head.

"That's... just in manhwas. They're gentle. Just be careful not to step on the roots."

At the top of the building, the head of the plant that resembled a sunflower followed them with its eyes.

"..."

'Is it just me, or does it seem like that monster is staring at me specifically..?' Cale asked.

SR: It most likely senses your wood attribute. Though I highly doubt it will be hostile towards you

FoD: Yeah! And if anything happens, we can just set it on fire and make some money out of it!

Cheapskate added on with a cackle.

Supposedly, according to twsa, the plant species was originally meant to come after the Great Hole was fully opened. 'Of course, even in the novel, the timeline was already thrown completely off track so it's fine I guess ┐(￣ー￣)┌,' Cale thought to himself.

"The terraforming has started," Kim Dokja said.

Terraforming.

The fifth scenario was world versus world scenario. Humanity fought against the worlds that were coming.

Just like how Seoul was suffering from the erosion of Chronos, China would be facing the '3rd Murim World' while Japan would be facing the 'White Demon Realm'.

'If that's the case, I wonder if the world of the Birth of a Hero would be included in-' Cale momentarily thought before quickly shaking that dangerous possibility from his head as he continued following behind the two adults.

"Damn. It's a monster colony," Han Sooyoung swore, looking around at the abundant amount of vines and wild monsters roaming about.

"The terraforming will be even faster if the disaster awakens," Kim Dokja added.

"What type of person would wake up the disaster?"

"A person like you. You woke up the fire dragon," he deadpanned.

"..."

"...;;"

Biting her lips, Han Sooyoung spoke, "...Didn't you tidy it up?"

Subtly glancing at Cale, who at the time had managed to calm the dragon before it was forced to attack again by the dokkaebi Paul, Kim Dokja lowered his voice.

"The intermediate dokkaebi placed a penalty on the fire dragon. Cale managed to tame it before they forced it to continue with the scenario again. But what if we hadn't killed it? Don't tell me you would have tried to catch it when even Cale had to risk himself to step up and help?"
