Chapter 91
The feeling of tension had felt as if he were being pulled by a taut rope. So, when that rope was cut, he felt exhaustion wash over him. Sungyoon suspended the Gems. All the Gems that he had overclocked immediately turned gray. For a fixed amount of time, his Gems would lose their light. However, he was planning on heading back to Earth, so it wouldn’t cause him any trouble.
However, his problem came in another form.
Pah-jeek!
He couldn’t hear the sound. However, he could feel an unpleasant sensation coming from the Device on his wrist, run up his arm.
Toohk!
The Gold Gem fell to the surface of the Moon and became half-buried in the dust. Sungyoon picked it up and shoved it into his pocket. He had to check the damaged slot on his Device and also the new Device he had just acquired. He had a lot to do, but he decided to just sit on the surface of the Moon.
In the battle, he had been extremely worked-up, so he had been oblivious to it all. But after he exited the labyrinth, he finally processed the crisis he had just experienced. Cold sweat ran down his back. He quickly put his hand into his pocket and took out his treasure. Sungyoon absentmindedly stared at Shinhae’s picture for a long time. He continued to stroke it with his hand.
How long did he stay like that? When he felt his heart calm down enough, he put Shinhae’s picture back into his pocket. Humans got used to everything. Humans were capable of getting used to the fear of death. Sungyoon felt himself recover faster than the first time when he had almost died.
He looked at the slot where he had equipped the Gold Gem. As expected, the slot had been burnt black.
