Chapter 52
Episode 52
Wood-duk! With a sound, her legs bent outward and she lost her balance and fell.
“Kaaaaaa!!”
Her screams echoed throughout the warehouse.
Namgoong said to Park Hyo-joo, leaving her rolling around clutching her broken leg.
“Lizardmen will come. Before that, divide up the drugs and throw them out of the warehouse. “We deal with them after making them hallucinate.”
“Yes, got it.”
At his command, Park Hyo-ju nodded and moved quickly.
“Are you quick? “You should fly too.”
“yes? Me? Ah… right. What am I doing? Ahahaha…!”
Seongwoo smiled awkwardly at Namgoong’s eyes looking at him and hurriedly followed Park Hyo-joo.
“I will kill you…!!”
Tuk –
it was that time.
Namgoong threw the cell phone in his arms in front of her.
“Don’t get upset unnecessarily. Instead, let me make you a suggestion. “There are two options you can choose from now.”
“Choice…?”
“The first thing is to call Jin Wei and report what I just did. Perhaps you will become his recognized subordinate. It’s a happy thing. “You will be remembered as a loyal dog in Jinwei’s mind.”
Slurring –
Namgung said as he pulled out his sword and held it to her neck.
Ryeojin swallowed dry saliva without realizing it at the cold anticipation.
“I guess I’ll have to see all of this in the afterlife instead.”
“Save me…”
As the blade slowly penetrated her neck, she trembled and looked at Namgung.
“second. Here, join me and use medicine to hunt lizardmen. As you know, if you catch that many monsters, you will be able to obtain a head that is incomparable to anything before.”
“….”
“With that amount of head, you could buy the things you need right away. You must have noticed it by now. “How important it is to collect heads early on.”
Ryeojin’s eyes wavered.
The number of Lizardmen visible outside the warehouse was, at best, over a hundred.
And as long as there were serpent eggs, it was clear that more would come in the future.
‘At least a few hundred… If you do well, you might be able to get up to a thousand. If so…’
As far as she knew, the number of goblins hunted by the Hong Kong faction she belonged to during the Goblin Wave was less than 200.
It may have been sudden, but the results were minimal compared to the large number of people invested.
But now there were a lot of Lizardmen in front of me, giving more heads than the goblins.
“Loyalty to Sanju? Well, this is good. But the world has already changed. “Just like Chen Xun, the evidence of faith is strength.”
Namgung whispered in Ryeojin’s ear.
“And power is head. The more heads you have, the more ways you can survive. Has Jinwei ever made a suggestion like this? Probably not. “I may be the one giving you the chance to become a genius.”
Pain arose in the leg where Namgung kicked her, but it seemed she couldn’t even feel such a trivial thing
.
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
“Now wait!!!”
As Namgung applied a little more force to the hand holding the sword, she hurriedly shouted.
“…I’ll try.”
Then he nodded as if he had made up his mind. Namgung finally said, holding out his hand to her with a satisfied expression.
“okay. You have to grab the opportunity when it comes. In a situation where life comes and goes. What is the password?”
“…3391.”
“Did you hear?”
At Namgung’s words, Park Hyo-joo pressed the button on the machine.
Chiik-! With a sound, a container containing the purified drug solution popped out from inside the machine.
“What should I do now?”
“Nothing much. If those two hallucinate the Lizardmen, you and I will hunt them down as quickly as possible. “It’s simple, right?”
Namgung pointed to the gift she was holding.
“…okay.”
As if there was no hesitation since she had made up her mind, Ryeo Jin got up and walked towards the exit of the warehouse.
“I’m ready!”
Park Hyo-joo shouted as she brought a container containing the undiluted solution taken from the machine and diluted in water.
“open it.”
Namgung said while putting on the mask that was in the warehouse.
kudduddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddging…!!
At his command, Ryeojin opened the door to the warehouse with all her might.
As the iron door dragged on the floor and opened with a loud noise, the Lizardmen who had been devouring the Thousand Days’ gangsters turned their heads all at once.
Sigh—!!
At that moment, Namgoong sprayed the medicine he had received from Park Hyo-joo.
[…Kruk?]
The moment the guy covered in medicine stood there with a puzzled expression, a terrible scent instantly began to spread throughout the area.
Sniff…? Sniff?
The lizardmen lifted their noses like animals chasing delicious prey.
[K…! Kekke!!]
At the same time, screams erupted from everywhere. Surprisingly, the lizardmen started biting each other.
“It has begun.”
Some were standing there blankly, as if they had lost their mind, while others were licking the floor or running around on all fours.
I couldn’t tell what they were seeing, but at least I knew it wasn’t normal.
Quang–!!!
As swung the huge ax sideways.
With a loud roar, the Lizardmen’s throats were cut off, and blood splattered everywhere.
Suddenly-!! Sigh–!
The remaining soul soldiers followed Ars and began slaughtering the Lizardmen standing outside.
“Hmm.”
It was a terrible sight, but Namgung didn’t care.
As he watched the number of heads accumulating one by one, he just smiled coldly.
* * *
Gulp –
Seongwoo, who was sitting on the floor, didn’t say anything and just swallowed.
How much time has passed?
There was silence, and the people remaining in the warehouse just looked at each other.
“I… lived.”
The bloody fight that started at night continued until daybreak. As the darkness began to clear, Seongwoo eventually lay down on the floor and spoke.
The wetness felt on the back of the head that touches the floor is blood.
Even if I turned my head slightly, I could see the corpses of monsters that had not yet disappeared here and there.
“Hehehe…”
It was a terrible sight, but the voice actor was smiling without realizing it.
It was not because I was happy about the slaughter.
It was the joy of survival.
▶ Remaining heads: 7103 heads
And this was the joy greater than survival.
The voice actor found it hard to believe even when he saw the amount of heads he had acquired. Excluding the heads obtained when the first hell gate was opened, over 4,500 heads were obtained here.
‘There were other summoned monsters besides Lizardmen… but I think they probably caught at least 1,000 of them.’
Seongwoo thought as he looked at his open palm.
My hands were still shaking, and I couldn’t tell if it was because I was tired or because I was happy.
That’s because only four people were able to accomplish something that would have been impossible even with the military.
“Okay. i get it. great job.”
Unlike him who wanted to run wild with joy, Namgung, who called somewhere as soon as the monster hunting was over, was talking in a calm voice.
‘Wow… isn’t that guy even tired?’
Seongwoo thought while looking at Namgung.
Although he had his own buff, the other two people except him were in a similar situation, showing signs of exhaustion.
‘I’m not even breathing hard. ‘What on earth is it?’
From the coolness of cutting down monsters without hesitation to his overwhelming skills… In the voice actor’s eyes, Namgung was literally a wall that could not be overcome.
“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like there was much damage in Seoul. It seems like the military was blocking various roads in advance thanks to Hojun. “For some reason, the number of monsters was small.”
“thank god.”
The voice actor couldn’t help but be surprised by Namgoong’s words while talking to Park Hyo-joo.
‘…is this little? How many monsters have you caught? ‘That old man.’
The more I looked at the voice actor, the more curious I became about him.
“Kkkkkk…! What is this? It’s amazing!! Hehehe!!!”
At that moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Ryeojin’s laughter.
“To collect 10,000 heads so quickly… No one, not even the Triad executives, has collected this much. Wow, I like it. “Now if you buy it, it’s none of your business whether it’s the Triads or anything.”
She grinned and opened the yaksha bundle.
“for a moment. “If what you’re trying to buy is a poisonous spider web, you’d better stop.”
“why?”
“It will be dangerous if you use the head arbitrarily from now on. “If you don’t want to die, you’d better save your head.”
“…What are you talking about?”
After finishing the call, Namgoong spoke to Ryeojin, and for a moment she frowned.
“Here you are. Fortunately, there are people on our team who worked in China and Hong Kong, so I know about it.”
“sorry. “I forgot to get his number.”
Park Hyo-joo, who was in front of Namgung, showed her cell phone to Ryeo-jin.
Ryeojin wondered what was going on, but her face hardened when she saw the number written on her cell phone.
“Now wait a minute…!! “What is that?”
“Looking at your expression, I guess it’s fortunate. What is it? “It’s Thousand Fifty’s number.”
“therefore. “Why are you showing that to me now!!”
Ryeojin’s voice grew louder.
And that was also evidence that she was anxious now.
“grow.”
“Did I really contact Hong Geun? No? Don’t play around! “It’s a lie!!”
“You’ll know if it’s a lie or not when you see it.”
Park Hyo-joo said coldly, shaking off Ryo-jin’s clinging arm.
“Oh, don’t be ridiculous…! Hey, aren’t you guys having fun at all? We’re on the same side. huh? is not it?”
“But when I came here, there was a bit of a problem.”
“Now wait a minute…!!”
“There was a monster attack. All your children are dead. Yes, you know because you have experienced it too. What about the medicine? I couldn’t help it. “They are all gone.”
Soon, Namgoong frowned slightly and took the phone away from his ear.
I could hear Chen Xun’s voice shouting out loud.
“You need a password, but how did you get it?”
“What are you doing now…?”
Ryeojin looked at Namgung with trembling eyes and said, as if she didn’t understand.
“That’s not difficult. I asked the guy you put it on and he blew it on his own. The Triad’s mouth is also quite light. Well, life is more important than loyalty. is not it?”
“you you…!!”
Namgung continued the call while looking at Ryeojin in confusion.
“What do you want? It’s not that difficult. Did you say Jinwei would come here in a week? Tell them to come right away. “I will talk to him, not you.”
-Crazy guy… You’re so crazy about wanting to die? How dare you tell Sanju to come and go?
Listening to Chen Xun’s angry voice, Nangong smiled slightly.
“You pay the price instead. You did that, didn’t you? “Show your abilities.”
-Ability to destroy a factory and even use Berserker? Don’t talk nonsense!
“The Cheonilhoe guys have all been dealt with.”
-Ha… you crazy guy. Are you kidding? What good is it now that the factory has been destroyed?
“10,000 heads.”
-10,000…?
Chen Xun, who had been yelling, suddenly became quiet when he heard the head’s price. Because it was a huge amount that cannot be obtained in the current situation.
‘You won’t be able to refuse it. Because an alchemist needs various ingredients. Of all the eight stars, he is the one who most desperately needs a head.’
Namgoong looked like he was already sure what the answer would be.
“Even a traitor as a bonus.”
Namgung looked at Ryeojin and said with cold eyes.
“how is it?”
At that moment, Ryeojin’s lips trembled.
