Chapter 62
Episode 62
[This… It’s difficult to do this.]
Late in the morning.
There were only Namgung and Somin at the entrance to Sebitseom, which was crowded until the morning.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
in of in in increments with runes and weapons, Seobitseom and Gabitseom were brightly lit even though it was night.
It was originally an island artifact with a transparent window, but it has now become opaque so that it cannot be seen from the outside.
Rather than covering it up with paint, the building itself had completely changed due to the power of an unknown shape.
‘So, it would be possible for thousands of people to enter that building.’
Perhaps the inside is also not what it seems.
The so-called dungeon.
This means that an existing building or terrain changes due to the power of topology.
[You want to go straight to Solbit Island without going through the two islands? I guess Gyu-ryu would be interested. Who else would think of such a cheeky thought?]
And here, where everyone had disappeared, Namgung stood in front of Hyeonryu again.
“How can I believe you?”
The fact that a building has changed into a dungeon is like saying that no one knows what is inside.
[You don’t believe me? [
“You said you could get runes and items in there, but you didn’t say how to get them.”
Namgung extended his index and middle fingers toward him and said.
“There are two ways to get them at Carnival. You can either purchase it from an exchange like Yasha Bundle, or get it as a drop from hunting monsters.”
Then he folded his index finger and thrust his middle finger into Hyun-ryu’s face and said.
“Or hunting monsters.”
[….]
“Would you guys really give me runes and items for free? Probably not. If so, it’s most likely the latter. “Then who will kill that monster?”
Namgung said coldly.
“No one knows what’s going on in there right now. “I wonder how many people will open the exit and come out alive.”
Sighing –
At that moment, the corners of Hyunryu’s mouth rose as if they were torn apart.
[You… I like it. They are different from stupid dogs who pant and flock to you when you throw them a bone.]
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssingssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd mutdcdwcw ontnotdifferent.!!!!!!
The distance between the two narrowed in an instant.
[Why don’t you leave Gyu-ryu and come to me? I heard you signed a contract with him? Well… it’s before the proxy auction starts, so it’s only a verbal contract at most.]
Hyun-ryu’s face, which was close enough to touch his face, widened his eyes at Nam-gung and said.
‘As expected… I knew.’
What Hyunryu said was the secret conversation the two had when they met Gyuryu on the Olympic Road.
But the guy knew it.
It was something that could not be helped.
‘Because in the current situation, he is higher in hierarchy than Gyu-ryu.’
Although they were children of the same Muhwi, the difference between the first and second ranks was clearly evident.
‘But that wouldn’t have allowed them to eavesdrop on the conversation. ‘Perhaps I disappeared when space was excluded, so I’m going to throw it at that.’
[That can be reversed at any time. how is it. If you sign a contract with me, I will help you survive the proxy auction. Is that all?]
“Oh… really?”
Namgung sneered at that guy.
“Honestly, it might be better to stick to the first tier rather than the 2nd tier.”
[Okay then. As expected, my head is spinning!]
“But since you told me this nonsense yourself, I’m even more convinced that I shouldn’t do business with you?”
[…What?]
“How can I trust this guy who changes contractors at will like he changes toys? Or… is this a ploy to become a surrogate and interfere with the participants?”
[What is that…]
“Don’t be silly. I know that Gyu-ryu is not the only one who made a contract with humans. “It would be the same for you and other Yaksas.”
For a moment, Hyunryu’s face hardened.
“You also brought a candidate. But you want to make a contract with me? “Where do you sell drugs?”
Namgung spoke coldly to him.
“No matter how much I think about it, I only see him as your contractor. “Am I mistaken?”
At the same time, he raised his finger and pointed forward.
“Huh huh…”
A faint moaning sound comes from the darkness.
A middle-aged man with a half-bald head and a thick belly sticking out of his clothes appeared with a puzzled look on his face.
“Kim Gap-cheol. “He’s a famous real estate agent in the Jongno area, so much so that I know his face, so he’s appeared on TV a few times.”
[…I don’t know what you’re talking about.]
Hyun-ryu fell silent at the appearance of Kim Gap-cheol.
“How many people would skip the rune and weapon dungeon and go straight to the boss? “It probably means that there is a background to believe in something.”
[Do not speculate.]
“You can ask the author whether it is speculation or not. “You may think human life is insignificant, but for me, it’s my only life.”
Slurp –
At that moment, two sharp sword blades appeared below Kim Gap-cheol’s neck, which was hidden in the darkness.
“Save me…”
It was from the soul soldiers.
“As you said, it is not against the rules for agents to seek candidates for the Octagon War in advance through oral contracts. There was no real contract anyway. but.”
flinch –
Hyunryu’s shoulders trembled ever so slightly at the last words.
“It is a clear violation to provide information about the auction in advance. Indeed… will the chieftain leave alone the person who committed fraud to promote his candidate?”
[Don’t pass over things however you want.]
“So stop doing unnecessary things and get out of here. “We will play by ourselves on the board you have prepared.”
[….]
Hyun-ryu looked at Namgung with eyes that seemed to devour him, but he disappeared, biting his lip as if to control his anger.
“Phew…”
When he disappeared, Namgung let out a low sigh as if he had finally relaxed. At the same time
,
thick smoke rose around Kim Gap-cheol, who had been captured by the spirit soldiers a moment ago.
“great job. “Somin.”
“no. But… is this what happened?”
Surprisingly, Kim Gap-cheol, who the spirit soldiers had pointed their swords at a moment ago, disappeared and So-min was in his place.
“huh. “It looks like Hyun-ryu is also embarrassed.”
Namgoong said while lightly stroking Somin’s head.
It was none other than disguised as Kim Gap-cheol using the transformation magic she learned from Roxanne.
True to his legendary qualities, Somin quickly learned techniques under the category of magic even though he was not a druid.
But even so, magic learned in a short period of time could not be perfect.
“He’s a very cautious guy, so if it was normal, I would have checked… I guess Muhwi is really scary.”
The ultra-high-ranking Mu-hwi, the chief of the yaksha clan, did not stop the yakshas from running wild, but he was merciless when it came to committing injustice.
‘The agents have no choice but to be desperate too. Because they are also competing with each other for the position of head of the clan. If by any chance you get caught by Mu-hwi, you will be disqualified.’
Namgung took advantage of Muhwi’s personality.
Kim Gap-cheol was not here to begin with. This is because we have already entered Solbit Island.
‘But with this, he will no longer be able to directly participate in this auction.’
That was enough.
“let’s go.”
Only after completely blocking the variables that could arise, did Namgoong move forward.
* * *
“Wow….”
As soon as they entered Solbit Island, Somin blocked her nose due to the stench that stung her nose.
“Dad, what does this smell like?”
“It seems to be the smell of burning corpses of monsters. “It’s probably Kim Gap-cheol’s doing.”
Namgung said as he looked at the charred monsters piled up around the entrance.
The beetle, which looked exactly like a giant dung beetle, was lying on the ground as if it had been burned, with no other injuries.
‘Seeing as there are no other injuries, it seems that Kim Gap-cheol came alone.’
In a past life, one of the eight winners of the proxy auction was Gap-cheol Kim.
He became a contractor for the Yasha clan, received support from Hyeonryu, and built up enormous power based on the land he owned in the Jongno area.
‘After the proxy auction, he captures Jang Gil-su of Majang-dong and later confronts Myeong-hun’s military commander.’
Jang Gil-su, who had the ability to gluttony but lost one of his legs in the labyrinth, was no match for Kim Gap-cheol.
As the Majang-dong faction came under Kim Gap-cheol, it became the starting point for the birth of Kim Gap-cheol’s Night Castle, one of the two largest clans in Korea.
“Shin Yu-jin, Sangmun-gil, Lee Won-hyo, Jang Tae-ho…”
There were many outstanding people under him whose names could be mentioned.
But now there is nothing by his side.
He was not the leader of the Night Castle, and those strong people were no longer there.
Namgung confirmed that there were no other injuries on the monster’s body and was confident that he was now completely alone.
‘No matter how much he is the leader of the night-time castle that ate up half of Korea, he is not the same now.’
Namgung walked slowly along the corpses of the monsters he had killed.
* * *
Thump- Thump- Thump-
As I passed through the entrance of Solbit Island and came downstairs, a huge jungle unfolded as if it were another world.
‘The entrance to the stairs split into several paths, so it looks like Kim Gap-cheol and the other path diverged.’
The corpse of the monster Kim Gap-cheol killed was no longer visible.
[Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….]
Instead, I saw a massive beetle that shook the floor with every step, like a large elephant walking.
“Buggaster…”
It had three long horns on its head, short legs like a rhinoceros, and two pairs of translucent wings inside its split shell.
‘Why is that here…?’
Namgung looked at the monster and looked puzzled.
An intimidating feeling, like a boss monster.
There wasn’t just one guy like that.
‘Damn Hyun-ryu guy. Since they couldn’t interfere anymore, they changed the monsters on the floor.’
Namgung clicked his tongue and exhaled lowly with a disapproving expression.
“It’s Burgerster… I don’t think that will be easy even with my sword.”
He couldn’t help but feel nervous as he saw the monster that would come out only after at least the 6th door was opened.
“Why, Dad?”
“huh. Those guys over there. It’s called Burgerster. Just by looking at it, it looks unusual, right? It’s also difficult to kill. Its shell is incredibly hard and has excellent elasticity. “The sword barely sticks.”
“Then what do you do?”
“He also has weaknesses. Are there any joints over there that aren’t covered by the shell? “Because it weighs so much, its joints are weaker than others.”
Somin nodded at Namgoong’s words.
“Even if you are weak, cutting a sword is not easy. It is more efficient to pour in magical power and explode it from the inside. “The outside is hard, but the flesh inside the shell is soft.”
“huh. okay.”
“It won’t be easy.”
Somin’s training so far was about handling magical power stably, not learning delicate control.
‘But in the end, such senses must be learned through practice.’
You must become the stepping stone.
“First, let’s see how much damage we can inflict with the most powerful magic available.”
“Yep!”
Somin nodded.
[Kuuuuu–!!]
When Namgung summoned the soul soldiers, the Burgersters began to flock as if they sensed a foreign power.
“As. “Please move forward.”
As soon as the order was given, the remaining three soldiers surrounded Somin for defense, and Asman swung his ax at the running Burgerster.
Kaan–!!
It was an attack with all his might, but As’s ax hit the guy’s horn and bounced off.
The heavy body stumbled, but the guy didn’t wait and swung his head towards As.
Wow!!
As’s body swayed with a dull sound.
bang! bang! bang!!
As continued to hit the ax towards Burgerster’s forehead. But the guy didn’t care and instead rushed forward, pushing As.
Wow!!!!
Only after As hit the dead wall did the Burgerster’s rush stop.
Crunch… Crunch…
But the guy kept pushing with the momentum to burst the ass stuck between the walls.
“Now!! “Aim for his joints!!”
“…huh!!”
Somin shouted and stretched out her hand.
Quazzzzzz that is—-!!!!
As magical power flashed from her fingertips, a red thunderbolt flashed over the head of Burgerster, who was pushing As.
[Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
enougheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeejajajas, so strong that the sight before your eyes turned completely white immediately poured into the island along with the scream.
The intensity is incomparable to the thunder fire she cast in Daejeon.
“Ah… I was aiming for the leg joints. It’s difficult.”
As the light from Noehwa slowly disappeared, Somin scratched his head.
“….”
However, unlike her, Namgung looked as if he was at a loss for words as he looked at the corpse of Burgerster, who had collapsed after being hit by brain fire.
Kuung –
The Burgerster who had been pushing As a little while ago collapsed on the floor.
“I guess I was worried for nothing…”
There was nothing where Burgerster’s head should have been.
