# Chapter 115
Bang! Crash! Boom!
Attacks continued in succession against the wall presumed to be an entrance.
Kalik also joined forces with Suhyun to continue pouring on attacks, but unfortunately, the wall wouldn’t break.
“Let’s stop now.”
Jiwon, who had been watching the two of them, finally intervened. It was because Suhyun’s wavelength kept dropping.
Knowing that his stability wouldn’t rise as easily as before, it was best not to create situations that would cause it to fall.
“It doesn’t open through attacks. Look, there’s been no response even after all this attacking.”
“……”
At these calmly delivered words, Suhyun slowly nodded.
However, Suhyun was extremely anxious.
If they couldn’t create a passage through attacks, he had no idea what to do.
He was certain this place connected to Riska’s lair. But if they couldn’t find a way in, knowing this was useless.
‘Choi Young definitely entered.’
Just how did he get in?
Suhyun stared at the battered wall, deep in thought.
It seemed that, as Jiwon said, they couldn’t open the passage through attacks. But since Choi Young had entered, there must be a way for him to enter as well.
Would it allow entry only after the wavelength was sufficiently disturbed? Was Riska making the judgment? Was Choi Young’s condition already poor before entering Riska’s lair?
“Esper-nim. Let me guide you for now.”
His thoughts seemed to tangle in complexity, perhaps due to his growing impatience. At that moment, Jiwon approached to take Suhyun’s hand, concerned about his already dropping wavelength.
Suhyun, who had naturally extended his hand toward him, hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
“Just a moment.”
“Why?”
“There’s something I need to check. I’ll receive guiding after that.”
In truth, there wasn’t much point in receiving guiding from Jiwon now. Even if he received it, his wavelength would quickly become disturbed again.
This wall facing Suhyun was continuously disrupting his wavelength. As if proclaiming that Riska’s power lay beyond it.
‘What if…’
Suhyun carefully examined the ruined dungeon wall. Meanwhile, the pulsation at his wound site was growing stronger.
He could feel his wavelength becoming disturbed even when standing still.
Jiwon, who was constantly checking his stability, probably knew better. That must be why he seemed so eager to start guiding right away.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s strange.’
Suhyun found it strange anew. It wasn’t that his wavelength was disturbed by using his ability, but rather it was becoming disturbed simply by being in this vicinity.
‘Choi Young’s condition wasn’t bad.’
Although Jo Wooyeon ended up losing his guiding ability, Choi Young’s stability was at a decent level before he re-entered the dungeon. That’s why he must have gone into the dungeon.
But immediately after, in the next dungeon, he came out on the verge of going berserk. It wasn’t a strong monster, and it wasn’t even a Riska dungeon.
The peculiar thing was that he was clutching a dark red ore in his hand.
If he had discovered a place like this presumed passage, and if his wavelength had become disturbed…
‘It’s not a passage opened by attacks…’
Choi Young must have sensed something strange and approached this wall. Just like Suhyun now.
And he would have reached out his hand to search for anything suspicious…
“Ugh…”
Suhyun quickly withdrew his hand at the sudden strong pain. At the same time, his face contorted as he realized a clear fact.
He realized that this wall wasn’t an opening passage.
It wasn’t a space created for anyone to enter by opening a door. There was a path here that was permitted only to the Esper who had become a medium.
“Ha…”
So, Suhyun could pass through this wall. Judging by how his wavelength fluctuated the moment his hand touched it, it seemed he would have to pay the price of passage with his own power.
“Esper-nim!”
Suhyun, who had been laughing wryly at his belated realization, took a step back at Jiwon’s voice.
His hand that had touched the wall was tingling, but the sensation was vivid. Suhyun squeezed his eyes shut. With the feeling that his strength was being drained instantly, his hand had passed smoothly through the wall as if there was nothing there.
“Haha…”
It was foolish to think that they could open a door and everyone could enter Riska’s lair.
Unfortunately, only Suhyun himself, who had become a medium, could pass through this path.
The path that showed no reaction to ceaseless attacks was naturally accepting Suhyun who tried to pass through. Taking his wavelength as a toll.
“It just looked like your hand passed through the wall.”
Kalik said, eyeing Suhyun with a sharp gaze.
When Suhyun nodded, Kalik immediately approached and placed his hand on the wall in the same way. However, unlike Suhyun, Kalik’s hand couldn’t penetrate the wall.
“What did you do?”
Suhyun didn’t respond.
Now he understood. Choi Young had just entered as he was drawn in. Normally, one would get scared and leave the dungeon when stability drops, but he had entered further instead.
Resolutely, even while vividly feeling his wavelength becoming tangled. Thanks to that, he came out with the ore.
If he had had the chance, he probably would have wanted to say it.
That something exists inside that disrupts an Esper’s wavelength. That this was the evidence.
“Let me guide you.”
Jiwon approached Suhyun, who was lost in thought, quickly. Then he grabbed Suhyun’s arm firmly.
Rather than guiding, it seemed like he was instinctively holding Suhyun to prevent him from doing something reckless due to his anxiety.
“Kalik. I need to ask you a favor.”
Looking at Jiwon, Suhyun spoke to Kalik.
“What?”
“As you’ve probably realized, only I, who’ve become a medium, can enter here. So I’m going in.”
“What do you plan to do by going in alone? Isn’t it the Guide’s role to eliminate Riska’s power anyway?”
“I’ll have to bring out the ore, I guess.”
If that’s how it is, there’s only one way. Having become a medium, Suhyun was essentially living on borrowed time. So he needed to accomplish what he could when he could.
“Don’t.”
Jiwon firmly shook his head at Suhyun.
“Don’t do anything.”
Jiwon warned in a low voice with a rigidly hardened face.
Facing this unfamiliar expression he had never seen before, Suhyun smiled, removing Jiwon’s hand that was stubbornly holding him.
“I’ll be back.”
“I told you not to! Don’t do anything…!”
“Perhaps I might be able to open it from inside. I’ll be back soon.”
“Hey! Seo Suhyun!”
Jiwon was left in Kalik’s hands. After a moment of conflict about whether to hold Suhyun back or not, Kalik squeezed his eyes shut.
If they couldn’t open the passage, the person who could enter had to go in.
Kalik’s thoughts were not different from Suhyun’s.
“Let go! Fuck, I said let go!”
Jiwon watched Suhyun being gradually sucked into the wall as he struggled. His already reddened eyes had burst blood vessels.
Only after Suhyun had completely disappeared into the wall did Kalik release Jiwon. Jiwon immediately rushed to the wall where Suhyun had vanished, but he couldn’t enter.
“Seo Suhyun! Come out! I said come out!”
No matter how much he struck the wall, there was no response. He couldn’t even sense Suhyun’s presence.
“This isn’t right…! How can this be…”
Jiwon suddenly lost strength and slumped to the ground. Kalik swallowed a sigh as he looked at Jiwon’s back.
“No…”
Suhyun’s wavelength stability was no longer visible. It seemed to be blocked because he had entered a different space.
Unable to visually confirm his condition, the anxiety that had been suppressed now surged. It felt like he might never see Suhyun again.
“No… This isn’t acceptable.”
He had no intention of losing him so emptily like this. Had he known, he wouldn’t have started this experiment in the first place.
They were supposed to fight together. He had taken the risk with Suhyun, believing they could somehow manage by relying on each other.
‘But now he wants to handle it alone?’
That couldn’t be allowed. Suhyun couldn’t eliminate Riska’s power to begin with.
He had to do something.
Jiwon gritted his teeth.
He would do everything he could. He absolutely wouldn’t just sit still like this.
Jiwon placed his hand on the wall. His eyes were shining with determination.
“What are you thinking of doing?”
Jiwon didn’t answer Kalik’s question.
Instead, he began guiding with all his might at the wall where Suhyun had disappeared.
If Riska’s power source could be eliminated through guiding, perhaps this entrance, which was part of their power, could be opened through guiding as well.
‘No, it must be possible to open.’
He didn’t need an answer that it was impossible. It had to work no matter what.
He had to somehow open with his own hands this entrance that had swallowed Suhyun, tangling his wavelength.
