<h4>Chapter 144:</h4>
"...Tsk. Some ipetent guy broke the barrier."
The old man who was sitting on the sofa in a rxed position suddenly clicked his tongue and looked out his window.
"what?!"
At those words, Hwang Dong-seok, who had been drunk on the sofa across from him while drinking wine, suddenly lost his energy.
"What the f*ck! Isn''t there already a pursuit party?!"
He jumped up and hurriedly checked the movement outside the window.
sky dyed red.
Roads stained with blood and corpses.
The corpses walking on it were moving in the same direction all at once.
It was proof that an outsider had entered the vige.
Hwang Dong-seok gritted his teeth and red at the old man.
"This is a different story! You said you erased all traces, what is this!"
"Don''t be too fussy. Only two of them entered the vige. All of a sudden, the magic was broken because they discovered the demonic spirit that was the medium for the magic."
After hearing the old man''s exnation, Hwang Dong-seok''s face returned to hisposure.
"What, only two of them?"
"Yes, there are two of them. They were probably hunters who happened to pass by."
"Hehe. okay?"
He licked his lips with a condescending smile.
"Good. Hunters must be carrying some weapons, right?"
Somehow he managed to escape from prison, but it was still too early to be relieved.
Although they scraped off the prison guards'' weapons as much as possible, most of the subordinates were still empty-handed.
The first priority was to secure as much armament as possible before the pursuing party found them in earnest.
"How are those two guys?"
"well. Since they are the ones who broke the demons nted in the bodies of your subordinates, one must be at least a B-rank or higher magic hunter."
"B-ss or higher magic?"
At those words, Hwang Dong-seok rolled his eyes and tapped the calctor in his head.
''hmm. Of course it can''t be S-ss.''
S-ss hunters are literally walking giants.
They weren''t idle enough to identally pass through these remote neighborhoods.
The probability that such expensive guys, who are few in Korea, would show up here just to catch the viin was close to zero.
In addition, for the same reason, the A-ss ransom was not easy, so there was no one who wanted to be a bounty hunter.
"Hehe. Then, at most, it must be two B-ranks. The magic world is a bit tricky, but you can''t beat the quantity offensive."
Hwang Dong-seok called his subordinate who was waiting outside and gave an order.
"Hunters broke in. Call all the b*stards who are resting at home. There is a possibility that they are two B-ss people, so they attack at once."
"Yes, yep! I will deliver it like that!"
Hwang Dong-seok murmured with a fishy smile at the sight of his subordinate, who stiffened his body at hismand and hurriedly rushed out.
"young. Now, the military is definitely captured. After all, you onlye to your senses when you see someone die."
Hwang Dong-seok, only a C-level Awakener, still reigned as their king outside the prison.
However, this hierarchy rtionship was a series of precarious tightrope walks that could end at any moment.
The only reason why the viins still follow Hwang Dong-seok is that he is the older brother of Hwang Dong-soo, an S-ss viin.
"Hey, won''t you help?"
Hwang Dong-seok, who was about to go outside after sending his men, suddenly looked back and asked,
Then the old man, who was still sitting on the sofa, didn''t even look at him and just replied indifferently.
"As you can see, I don''t like to use my body. When you''ve dealt with all the outsiders, call them. I will cast a spell on the vige again."
"...I will."
Hwang Dong-seok had a slightly disapproving look on his face, but he didn''t speak at length.
For at his own call he heard the sound of his men gathering outside.
"Everyone, get your tools! There are only two of them!"
After Hwang Dong-seok went outside.
why-
A beended on the window sill in front of the old man, who was still staring out of the window with a confused gaze.
"...Are you here?"
A small smile appeared on the old man''s lips.
* * *
[Gaaaaagh!]
"hmm?"
Suho couldn''t help but be embarrassed.
Suddenly, the blue ghost screamed and escaped from the body of the demonic tribe, no, the viin.
Then burst.
Seeing the viin copse and pass out on the spot, Ver muttered with a serious expression.
[The demon tribe hiding in this human body has disappeared.]
"suddenly?"
[yes. It seems that there was some kind of restriction imposed by the higher level Demonic Tribe. Originally, the beings of the fantasy realm are good at this kind of magic.]
"It means that there are high-ranking demons around here."
At Ver''s words, Suho nodded his head with a thoughtful expression.
''Come to think of it, the guy who made my level up system was also said to be a phantom shaman.''
Grand sorcerer Kandiaru.
The level up system he designed could also be seen as a kind of magic.
Even if it wasn''t to that extent, it was said that it was possible for a high-ranking Demonic n to use magic that would limit them to death if they performed certain actions.
''this...I think I came across a few more viins than I thought aftering here to catch some viins.''
"Seongsuho!"
At that time, Kang Tae-sik, who was fighting the undead in front of him, heard an urgent cry.
"Come quickly and help! The undead areing in more and more!"
As the magic of the demons disappeared, the vige of Yamiri became an apocalypse in earnest.
If it were ordinary undead, Kang Tae-sik, a B-ss hunter, wouldn''t have been so flustered, but these guys were strange enough to stick together even if their bodies were cut off.
furthermore.
"Anyway, these undead seem to be the original inhabitants of this vige! As soon as the viins took over this vige, they must have annihted them all!"
Kang Tae-sik was making an expression of absurdity even as he spoke.
It was an extremely ordinary person''s point of view to think that they would not harm citizens who could be held hostage in case their location was discovered.
"what the. These guys were a lot crazier than I thought. After all, these are the viins."
...
After all, the viins have to leave the light and kill them all.
Kang Tae-sik, who muttered that and smiled bloodyly, red ahead.
And he cut off the limbs of the undead and shouted to Suho.
"Usually in cases like this, there''s going to be a b*stard lurking nearby! Use your summons and find him first!"
But it didn''t have to be.
wow wow!
Because it showed up first from the other side before that.
Viins suddenly appeared from all sides and started attacking Suho and Kang Tae-sik all at once.
"Hahaha! Were all gathered here after all!"
Even though the crisis was approaching, Kang Tae-sik rather shed his eyes.
And at the same time, he looked back at Suho with cold eyes and smiled.
"Sung Soo-ho, you did a good job. Your role ends here. From now on, each of us is on our own."
"...?"
Before Suho could react to those words.
Swoop.
Kang Tae-sik''s image was erased on the spot like a lie.
Suho''s eyes widened at the mysterious appearance.
"A stealth skill?"
[Such a traitor!]
Berg gnashed his teeth.
Somehow, even in this situation, he seemed to be rxed all the time, and he was hiding that ability.
However, the purpose of Kang Tae-sik''s stealth skill was not to escape.
"Keep?!"
"What, what? big... ...!"
Screams began to erupt from the mouths of the viins who were attacking Kang Tae-sik along with the undead.
And blood streams gushing out like firecrackers.
"Ah, an assassin!"
"What crazy! You never said anything like that!"
"It''s called magic!"
The atmosphere of the viins, who had been rising with one stealth skill, changed rapidly.
But that was then.
"Tsk. Where are the assassins?"
Whoops- Kwaaang!
The magic-type viin behind them exploded a fireball at the dying viins, spraying blood.
"Ahh!"
"Why me...!"
They just agreed and escaped together, and there was no such thing as loyalty between the viins.
The viins caught in the explosion were engulfed in mes and rolled on the floor.
But the effect was certain.
"...Keugh!"
I heard Kang Tae-sik''s short scream.
She is revealed to be a translucent silhouette engulfed in mes in the empty air with nothing to do with him.
"That way! Kill!"
When the viin who fired the fireball triumphantly pointed towards it, the viins smiled viciously andunched an all-out attack.
But there was one person they forgot because they were confused by their stealth abilities.
"...Srd."
Surrounded by the undead, Suho''s low voice awakened the sleeping entity in the sea of death.
[The King of Yetis, the Lord of the Cold is watching you.]
Feeling the presence''s gaze, Suho confidently opened his mouth.
"Blessings from the cold."
[Prophecy: Protection of the severe cold]
The protection of the King of Yetis, the Lord of the Cold.
Syd, Lord of the Cold, has chosen you to be its Shaman.
His priests can use their magical powers as his offerings to cause frigid blizzards.
Whoo oh oh-
That moment.
A white wind began to blow around Suho.
[Use ''Skill: Cold Blizzard''.]
[Requires 100 mana per second.]
The blizzard that turned Fasad Kingdom into a cier city wrapped around Yamiri Vige.
"Me, crazy!"
"what''s this!"
"blizzard?!"
Like the cries of the greatly embarrassed viins, the tremendous cold hit them.
Great! sphemy!
The cold ice grabbed the legs of the viins who were on the ground.
"Hey, damn it! legs... ...!"
Both the undead and the viins, everyone''s legs started to freeze on the spot.
"...What is this?"
Kang Tae-sik, whose stealth skill was released, looked back at Suho with a puzzled expression.
Thanks to the cold wind, the mes that had spread to his body were extinguished before he knew it.
"To use even natural magic, was it a druid?"
Kang Tae-sik nodded, saying that his guess was correct.
And the moment he turned his head toward the viins again, his eyes shed with the most cruelty.
Among the viins, there were those who broke the ice and escaped by strengthening their legs, but they were very few.
Most of the viins gathered here were only low- and mid-level Awakeners.
"Now you are my prey."
chump chump chump chump!
Kang Tae-sik licked his lips and jumped forward.
And he mercilessly picked out only the deadliest parts of them and cut them down.
neck.
carotid.
Wherever his dagger passed, blood spurted out.
"Aww!"
"Aagh! Run away!"
The viins, who btedly removed their frozen legs from the floor, began to run away in a panic.
but.
[''Debuff: Curse of the Cold'' is applied.]
[Attack speed decreases by -30%.]
[Movement speed decreases by -30%.]
They were still struggling in the freezing blizzard.
Kang Tae-sik, who was recognized as Suho''s colleague by the Lord of Cold, was free from the debuff.
Kang Tae-shikughed cruelly as he killed the fleeing viins one by one.
"This is why I like fighting humans."
Unlike the dungeon monsters, humans are really easy to kill.
He shouted at Suho with an expression of bliss.
"Sung Suho! As a senior, I will teach you an important lesson! just remember this one All humans die! No matter how strong a hunter is, that''s an unchanging truth... ...."
F*uck!
That moment.
Kang Tae-shik''s head exploded.
"...How can such an insignificant b*stard pretend to be proud?"
chuck.
The viin, who blew off Kang Tae-shik''s head with all his might, gnashed his teeth and trampled his corpse.
And with that foot, he stepped on Kang Tae-shik''s corpse over and over again and shouted.
"Yes, baby! Everyone dies! Did you think you wouldn''t die?! uh?! Ha ha ha!"
And with a bloody expression, he red at Suho, who caused this blizzard, and growled.
"ruler! Now there''s only one baby left! porridge...."
But then.
"Wake up."
Immediately behind him, Kang Tae-shik''s shadow began to shimmer ominously.
