Naturally, it was not a person. It was an artifact.

[It’s frustrating, isn’t it? Right? You want to die because you're so frustrated? Humans feel pain from such trivial things.]

‘Why I ought to.’

[I'll let you out of there. You just need to make a deal with me.]

Ju-Heon's eyebrows started to twitch as he heard this annoying voice.
How could they not?

“Hey. You damn worm. Shut the hell up.”

That was right. The one talking to him was the worm! It was that greedy Xu Fu's artifact that should be helping to grow the Herb of Eternal Youth.

Most importantly, this was the culprit responsible for selling his weaknesses(?) to the shitty dog! How could he not be angry?

The worm continued to blab, as if it had no idea what was going through Ju-Heon’s mind.

[I know how to open the lid to that coffin. Should I help you? Huh? Huh?]

Ju-Heon let out a sigh.

“Hey rope, are you out there?”

Ju-Heon heard some whimpering outside.

[#*#&##&!]
Yes, I'm here! I'm right here!

The rope was the only artifact working hard while the other artifacts were sitting around eating popcorn and watching what it did.

It was whimpering because it tried to break the coffin but ended up only hurting itself in the process.

Nero had tried to help as well, but… He tried to start a fire and Ju-Heon yelled at him.

‘Do you want to die?! Are you trying to turn me into roasted meat?!’

He had been somberly sitting in the corner after being yelled at.

The worm started to laugh at the rope’s futile ...
