Chapter 55

Eunha bent down to check Jehwi’s condition. Coral was sprouting all over his back, shoulders, and cheeks. Fortunately, he still seemed to be breathing. If that was the case, there must still be a way.

‘First, I need to remove the coral before it’s too late.’

Just as she reached out her hand to Jehwi, Eunha realized that he was tightly hugging someone.

‘He said he had a younger sister, right?’

The facial features were identical to Jehwi’s. It must be his younger sister. She, too, was covered in coral all over her body.

“Ugh… President, just one more chance….”

Jehwi groaned. His sister was doing the same.

It seemed they were hallucinating, just like Eunha had a few dozen minutes ago. The difference was that Eunha had woken up, but they hadn’t.

‘It’s natural that non-awakened individuals have lower overall stats and resistance compared to awakened ones.’

Moreover, compared to Eunha, who had experienced countless battles, their resistance was probably on par with that of a newborn’s immune system.

“……”

Eunha glanced at the boss monster. It was grinning and watching the scene, but it wasn’t singing.

So now was the opportunity.

Thud! Thud!

Eunha raised her hand and began breaking the coral sprouting from both of them.

It was a simple method, but there was nothing better than external shock to counteract charm or confusion spells.

“P-President….”

However, even after breaking almost all the coral, Jehwi didn’t open his eyes. It seemed the hallucination had already taken hold of his mind.

If this method didn’t work, the only remaining option was to use an item. But, of course, Eunha didn’t have any useful items on hand.

That’s when it happened.

The divine beast ‘The Cat Wandering in Darkness’ rustled its fur.

Congratulations! You have obtained ‘Mint Candy that Instantly Clears Sleepiness’!

The divine beast ‘The Cat Wandering in Darkness’ confidently stated that since the coralization wasn’t 100% complete, this level of item would be sufficient.
