âYou must find a way immediately.â
As the attack raged on, complicated discussions were taking place inside the pavilion.
The surroundings remained covered by the barrier, and despite their efforts, they were still unable to break through it.
Even so, they couldnât afford to remain idle.
Gathering their wits, they began formulating a plan to overcome the situation.
ââ¦Ubong Chwigye, have you discovered anything?â
The head of the Taebaek Sect, Wuogeom, addressed Ubong Chwigye.
The latter had been scrutinizing the barrier for some time now.
Perhaps he had identified a weakness? That was the hopeful expectation behind the inquiry.
ââ¦I did find something.â
âHuh?â
âReally?!â
Expressions immediately brightened at Ubong Chwigyeâs response.
Could it be that there was hope after all?
Just as a glimmer of optimism began to spreadâ
âI found it, butâ¦.â
Ubong Chwigye added with a troubled expression,
âUnfortunately, as I mentioned earlier, this isnât my area of expertise⦠itâs going to take quite a while.â
âStill, the fact that itâs possible is something, isnât it? At least thereâs a methodâ¦.â
âHow long are we talking about?â
If it was described as âlong,â perhaps half a day?
Thatâs what most of them thought.
ââ¦Two days.â
âWhat?â
ââ¦Wh-what did you just say?â
The time Ubong Chwigye proposed was far longer than anyone had anticipated.
Two days? Two whole days? What kind of nonsense was this?
Expressions filled with disbelief turned toward Ubong Chwigye.
âDidnât I say I wasnât confident? Are you all blind? Your glares are sharp enough to stab me!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The old man shouted with a distorted expression.
âThe rules reinforcing this barrier are too intricate. It looks like a formation, but one wrong move and the whole thing could reset.â
The Beggarsâ Sect prioritized intelligence over brute strength.
And as someone who stood at the highest rank within the sect, Ubong Chwigye knew a thing or two about formations.
Fortunately, the barrier before them wasnât entirely impenetrable.
With a bit of knowledge, it could be unraveled.
Howeverâ
âThis is ridiculously complicatedâ¦.â
It was only visible.
In practical terms, it was like trying to untangle a massive, knotted thread.
The complexity of the structure made the task seem utterly daunting.
