Chapter 162: Northern Wall (1)

…After some time passed, the wood steel on stand-by signaled the end of the situation, so I headed back down the rift.

Tap—

As soon as I touched down, I saw Sylvia lying exhausted near the crystal water. She was sleeping on the table I made alongside her ghost.

“…”

I took off my gloves and measured the temperature of the area. The body of the Iron Man was different from that of an ordinary human, and now that I had also acquired the secondary characteristic of cold resistance from the Snow Globe, I hardly felt the cold. But even if this body was fine, she might not be.

“…She must be cold.”

I walked over to Sylvia, made a blanket out of Ductility, and covered her with it. Just in case, Midas’ Hand level 2 reinforced the blanket.

“Good job.”

Strangely, I felt affection for her. No, maybe she was the only one who allowed me to feel this stupid feeling of guilt. I gently placed my hand against her small head and checked her condition. Then, I applied Duct Tape to her injuries. The healing would end while she slept, and she would just think she got better on her own.

“…Have a good rest.”

I looked back to the crystal water.

[Main Quest: Time]

Time, Demakan’s Sanctuary. On the surface of this mysterious tree, Epherene’s name had already disappeared. The magic expired, and the crystal water returned to normal.

Whoong-

I moved the wood steel to see a name engraved on the rough surface.

[Deculein]

At that moment, the quest called Time was completed.

“Hey. Do you know what that means? It means you want to join Time. Do you know what that is?”

I heard Idnik’s voice echoing around me.
