Chapter 63
Episode 63
“Yes. “I get it now.”
Somin slowly nodded, blowing away the thick legs of the last remaining Burgerst.
Burgerster, who had both legs blown up and was left with only his body, let out a strange groan as if he was in pain.
“hmm.”
Namgung plunged his sword into the abdomen of the guy who was turning over. Unlike the strong back shell, the ventral part was weak and easily penetrated by the sword.
‘This doesn’t make sense… I knew that magic-related abilities, like magic, vary greatly depending on one’s qualifications, but I never thought it would be like this.’
Namgung was at a loss for words as he watched his daughter blow up all three Burgersters in one blow.
In fact, there was no need to target the leg joints.
‘…Aren’t you stronger than me at this level?’
He smiled bitterly.
Kuggggggggg –
Once all the Burgersters were taken care of, the door leading down opened.
“Dad over there!!”
When the door opened, dozens and hundreds of monsters that looked like field mice started pouring out from inside.
Wow-!!
When Namgung waved his hand, the spirit soldiers rushed forward and blocked the monsters.
Valid! bang! Ta-da-da-dan!!!
When the monsters collided with the spirit soldiers, a loud sound rang out, like a rain shower hitting the roof.
Kkeudeudeudeuk…!!
The soul soldiers swung their swords repeatedly, but the monsters that surged in like the tide gradually began to cover them.
“…Even fire locusts? “That’s a monster that doesn’t even appear in Asia… It looks like Hyunryu was very deliberate in creating it.”
Namgung frowned slightly at that sight.
Grumbling!!!
It was then.
Somin performed magic behind Namgoong.
bang! bang! Quagga River!!
Five or six thunderbolts fell from the sky and landed where a swarm of fire locusts was with a loud noise.
[Kekegeung…!!]
The monster’s scream-like cries were heard from all directions.
Dozens of grasshoppers disappeared in an instant at the place where Noehwa fell.
However, although her brain fire is powerful, it is a one-hit killing magic that does not have a wide range.
Hundreds of fire locusts still remained and attacked the two people.
“Somin, open the shield!”
At Namgung’s shout, she quickly shook the bracelet she was wearing on her wrist.
The [Goblin Lord’s Bracelet] borrowed from Myeong-Hoon glowed and a pale film protected her.
Kagang! Kang!! Kaga River!!
The shield that could be made from the Lord’s bracelet was only level 5, but as her magical power increased, it could not be broken even by attacks from dozens of fire locusts.
‘It’s definitely different from when Myung-hoon wrote it.’
Namgung confirmed that she was protected by the shield and drew his sword.
Slurp –
There was one more sword strapped to his waist. The blade of the drawn sword was pure white, unlike the penitent’s sword.
It was [Baekcheon Ganggeom].
Kwasik!!!
When he plunged his sword into the ground, pure white ice flowed around the sword like a wave! The floor froze with a sound.
Cheeeeeek…!! Chiik…!!
Fire locusts with fire properties began to struggle as if the ground froze, spouting white steam as if they were in pain.
“Whoop…!!”
As he applied more force, the struggling fire locusts slowly began to freeze to white.
Fighting…! Toad duduk…!!
The frozen grasshoppers fell to the ground.
Some of them were crushed by the impact, but the large pile of grasshoppers were trembling and making screeching sounds.
Kuang-!!!
At that moment, As hurled the ax at the gathered group of fire locusts.
bang! bang!! Quagga River!!!
The ax flew in a circle like a boomerang, mercilessly crushing the frozen fire locusts and crashing into the wall.
Buuuung…!!
As As pulled the string attached to the end of the ax, the ax that had been stuck in the wall came back into his hand.
Seokkeong-!!!
The rest of the soul soldiers followed Ars and disposed of the monsters that had fallen to the ground.
It was a huge number, but compared to that, the time it took to deal with them wasn’t that long.
“Is it over?”
He muttered as he stepped on the last fire locust. At
that
moment, Namgung stumbled for a moment due to a stabbing pain in his temple.
‘…It’s not an easy task.’
Ultimately, drawing out and using the power inherent in a weapon also required mental strength.
It was quite a burden to freeze not just one or two, but the entire area.
“Dad, are you okay?”
After removing the shield, Somin came behind him and asked carefully.
“Yeah, don’t worry.”
But Somin still looked at him with worried eyes.
“Don’t overdo it. never. got it?”
“let’s go.”
Namgung lightly stroked his daughter’s head.
Thump-thump-thump-
As the exit opened and I went down the iron stairs one more floor, the jungle-like landscape had suddenly turned into a large underground cave.
“Hmm….”
Namgung, who had experienced a maze-like underground cave in a glacier in Iceland, was not very pleased with the sight of the cave unfolding before his eyes.
“Please help me…”
But fortunately, the cave didn’t seem to be as deep as the glacier.
As I walked toward where I heard a voice like a faint moan, what appeared to be large tree roots were growing through the wall.
“who?”
Namgung looked at a man tangled in roots and asked in a low voice.
In fact, I knew his identity well.
There was only one person who entered Solbit Island before Namgung.
“Oh my god…! There are people. “Please, please help me!”
The man looked at him and shouted urgently.
Suddenly,
Namgung cut down the roots surrounding the man.
The root spewed out a blood-red liquid from the cut cross section, as if it were a living thing.
‘This root…’
Namgung glanced at the root and then looked away.
“Thank you….”
“I didn’t think there would be anyone.”
Somin noticed Namgoong’s words, pretending not to know Kim Gap-cheol’s existence, nodded and stepped behind him.
‘It’s a strange thing. Kim Gap-cheol, whom Hyeon-ryu was pushing, was caught before he entered the boss room?’
“Haha, it has to be that way. “That’s because we came right here without going through Sebitseom and Gabitseom.”
“I guess you were confident. They came right away to kill the boss without hesitating runes and weapons. “Do you even have any faith in it?”
Namgung glanced at Kim Gap-cheol and said.
“Looking at it, it doesn’t seem like it, but…”
“Hey, I made a mistake and got caught, but it doesn’t mean I’m not good at it.”
Kim Gap-cheol responded to his words with an awkward smile.
‘He helped me, but what is that bastard talking to me so informally?’
“why?”
“ha ha ha. “No.”
‘Fuck… it looks like I’m going to eat you just by looking at your eyes.’
Kim Gap-cheol found it absurd that he was shrinking from Namgung’s momentum without even realizing it.
Who are you?
No one knows, but isn’t he secretly receiving support from the Yaksha clan?
‘okay. He pointedly said that I would be the winner of the proxy auction. Yes, try struggling. ‘The result is the same anyway.’
he thought.
‘I won’t have anything to say even if I make you put your head down on the floor and beg for it later. ‘A cheap guy.’
Although I was swearing all kinds of things inside, I couldn’t say anything in front of Namgung.
“then.”
Namgung started walking toward the inside of the cave.
“Can I go with you?”
Kim Gap-cheol shouted and clung to him as if he had been waiting.
“You must have heard this before the auction started? Only two candidates are selected. “There is no reason for me to help my competitor.”
“But isn’t that now, not when it’s a competition that includes other countries under the jurisdiction of the Yaksha clan? “For now, once you catch the boss, you can become a candidate… Wouldn’t it be better to join forces?”
He groveled, rubbing his hands.
“It’s okay to compete then. Let’s go through here first. “I don’t know what might come out inside, so wouldn’t it be better to have at least one more person?”
“Hmm. “That is also true.”
“Okay then. You are definitely a friend who is good at understanding the situation! Come visit Yeongdeungpo sometime. “I know a place that makes amazing makgeolli for my pig’s feet.”
Kim Gap-cheol chuckled and spoke to Namgung.
But
instead of answering his words, Namgung just opened the door.
▶ The secret door to Solbit Island has been opened.
▶ When the boss of the secret room is hunted, the first candidate auction ends.
▶ Depending on the level of contribution to boss hunting, some people may be eliminated.
▶ Be careful. All applicants are advised to hurry up and appeal their abilities to attract the attention of the proxy clan.
As soon as the door opened, a notification rang in my head.
“… Ki contribution?”
Kim Gap-cheol looked at Namgung with a puzzled expression at the notification.
‘That’s right…’
But Namgung thought as if he had roughly guessed it.
Because various runes and weapons were dropped on Sebit Island and Gabit Island, some people stayed there indefinitely until they found what they wanted.
Some people were complacent and only wanted to eat the items there and not participate in the auction.
‘There’s no way they can save all humans.’
However, the moment he heard the word contribution, Namgoong had an intuition.
The moment the boss is captured, all those who did not come to Solbit Island and only wanted runes and items will die.
But that’s not the end.
Those who come down to Solbit Island too late…
probably won’t survive.
Because I can’t wait for them.
[Crrrrr-]
A low growl heard from the darkness.
The boss has appeared.
The battle has already begun.
* * *
“What is that? “Are you a ghost?”
Kim Gap-cheol said with a shocked expression as he looked at a figure slowly walking and standing in front of them in the dark.
[Crrrrrrr….]
Although its face cannot be seen because its head is covered with a black hood, the sounds it makes are not human.
“Root Keeper. It’s a type of spirit… but it’s a corrupt one. “Because he was born from the polluted underground tree you were caught in.”
“Can we just catch that guy?”
“maybe.”
Kim Gap-cheol’s eyes changed slightly at Namgoong’s answer.
“So how do I catch that?”
“You should do that. There’s no way I came here without a plan. is not it?”
“Haha, I think that’s the same for you too…”
“Of course we have things to believe in. But we decide when to take out that card. If we’re going to join forces, shouldn’t we at least pay for saving our lives first?”
“Tsk…”
Kim Gap-cheol was about to say something, but closed his mouth and nodded.
“What the heck. okay. I have to pay for the food. “I can’t do this to a kid like this.”
Clunk –
He put down the large box he was carrying on his back to the floor.
“…drone?”
Somin tilted her head at the unexpected object.
“Take a good look.”
Kim Gap-cheol smiled meaningfully at her reaction and controlled the controller on his waist.
“This is Kim Gap-cheol’s card!!”
Buuuuuuung…!!!
Then, three drones flew up in a line at the same time.
Chiiing –
The drone had a small gun barrel, and soon the gun barrel was cocked forward and aimed at the guard.
Cook-
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!!!!
When I pressed the button on the controller, the gun barrels attached to the drones began spewing fire.
“…Isn’t it amazing? Using drones as weapons… Engineering qualifications are not something that can be easily developed. “I guess you’re quite dexterous with the controls, too?”
“of course. I’ve been flying drones for several years. “I can’t believe how difficult it is to fly a drone between buildings…”
“Isn’t it illegal to fly a drone in a city? “Why would they do something like that to steal something?”
Kim Gap-cheol, who was firing a cannonball, closed his mouth with a look of regret.
“There was a rumor that they were picking tenants. “Maybe the drone you were piloting at that time had a camera instead of a gun barrel?”
“What…”
Kim Gap-cheol’s face turned pale as Namgung softly hit his ear.
“done. “It’s better to just search for hidden camera criminals.”
“…hey! “Where are you talking nonsense like that now?”
Phuuk –
It was that time.
Amidst the barrage of drones, a black sword came out and stabbed Kim Gap-cheol in the abdomen, piercing his back.
“…cough?”
“What nonsense? “I heard this from people who lived in your building.”
“It was a lie… I said I could catch him with this…”
Crackling –
But as the sword pierced his abdomen returned, blood flowed out of his mouth along with the sound of cutting bones.
“Save me…”
Kim Gap-cheol stretched out his hand toward Namgung.
However, he could not speak properly due to the blood flowing from his mouth.
“It looks like Hyunryu isn’t the only one messing around with the auction.”
Even though I don’t remember anything else, Namgung knew the boss of Solbitseom because he was involved in the proxy auction.
‘Originally, the queen warlord’s hive should have been here.’
The queen bee itself rules over numerous small bees without any particular danger, and was a perfect match for Kim Gap-cheol, who controls the drone.
However, what is in front of you now is not the Queen Warlord, but the Root Sentinel.
The boss had been replaced.
“Okay, this is the end of my contract.”
Namgung knew immediately who had done this.
Slurp –
He raised his sword towards the guard.
