Chapter 62 – 62. Other Survivors
A dark night with no lights on.
Three men were running away in a city where only the moon illuminated the pitch-black darkness of the night sky.
Sasasac Sasasac!!!
And thousands of cockroaches following them.
A swarm of cockroaches much larger than the palm of a person chases after the three men.
The five war boys they had brought had already been completely annihilated by the monster considered the king of cockroaches.
Neighboring zombies did the same. Everyone has become a host of cockroaches, and there are only black bugs all over the streets.
“Shit!!!!”
“I’m dying!! Fuck!!! I’m going to die!!!”
“You crazy bitch!!! Shut up and run!!!!”
They went out on the road to find Manager Park of the Talent Recruitment Department of the Central Association who did not return even though it was long past time to return.
To think that there would be insect-type monsters that I had never seen or heard of in my life living on the streets where I thought there would be zombies at most.
Moreover, they were wandering around the streets at night more defenselessly because they had never encountered ghouls or other evolutionary objects.
Evolutionary individuals were not paying attention to other places at all because they focused on targeting marts with ‘attractiveness of something’.
In fact, it was extremely rare to witness an evolutionary object in this city, unless it was Jang Jo-jun’s gang.
In any case, the price of ignoring the night of the apocalypse was severe.
No matter how many times I kill it, the swarm of insects does not decrease.
It was a terrible horror, a nightmare that someone had to sacrifice to escape.
“At this rate, we all die!!! Shit…!!! Back off everyone! I stay!!”
“What!! Hey!!! Yoongi Choi! You can’t come back again!!”
“Fuck… Everything looks messy, but does that matter? I’ll be blocking the road, so run away with your brother and inform the executives properly!! A mad monster lives in these streets!!!”
A man by her name, Yoongi Choi, stopped running and she turned toward the cockroaches chasing them.
The death of the War Boys must have already reached the ears of the demon mage. However, information about the monsters nestled in these streets had to be found separately and made known.
If you don’t know that there is a swarm of insects like this, there might be a big trouble at the central association.
So he, who had already been ‘incited’ and could have died for the Central Committee, decided to sacrifice himself.
“Keuaaaaa!!!!”
Yoongi Choi’s clothes are torn and his skin bursts.
He also grew abnormally large, his eyes turning green, and bloodstained wings spilling from his back as they twisted and crushed.
Just like Manager Park, who faced Jo Joon’s group, did.
He also changed into the shape of a certain demon.
“Khaaaaa!!!!”
Soon, Choi Yoon-gi let out a scream-like moan, intoxicated with the overflowing power and mental uplift.
As a reward for escaping from his weak body and transforming into a monster-like figure, he obtained overwhelming demonic energy.
Magi is a power commonly used by those who are related to or contracted with demons.
And those who dedicate their souls to demons to change themselves can handle demons even though they have not awakened as players.
Choi Yoon-gi did just that. With the help of a demon worshiper, he sold his soul to the devil and obtained Magi.
It was a truly filthy blessing and an ability acquired through self-envy.
“This power… Ah… Ah… That’s why… Everyone… Is crazy… Ha ha… Haha. Haha!!!!”
Once he completely changed, he could never go back to being a human again, but he didn’t care.
Now every day, if the heart of a living human being is pulled out and eaten alive, the body will disintegrate, but he didn’t care.
I’m sure it would have mattered before it changed like this.
It’s more correct to say that once you’ve been addicted to it, you can’t escape it.
No one will be able to return to their former frail body once they have tasted this insane sense of fullness.
That’s right, I can’t go back to the time when I released the weak demonic energy little by little.
They only run amok with the desire for greater power and the desire to kill and covet living things.
Magi given by the devil is like a drug. Right now Choi Yoon-gi is in the same state as having taken a lethal dose of drugs.
So I went crazy. He couldn’t help but go crazy because he didn’t die even after being injected with a lethal dose of drugs.
Just as Chief Park went crazy after transforming into a life-and-death situation after being cut off by Merhere’s scythe.
He also let go of his mind in the ecstasy of demonization.
“Huh…!!! Mr. Bapula.. Thank you!!!”
Along with the confidence that he could do anything, Choi Yoon-gi boldly released the amplified magic energy.
The sensation of the faucet bursting and gurgling water pouring out satisfies the male’s desire to discharge, and Choi Yoon-gi gradually gets drunk.
Pleasure without pain. Power without responsibility.
So, even if they face inevitable destruction at the end, countless people follow and follow the devil in front of the drug-like power given right away.
This is the fundamental difference between demons and evil spirits.
The perspective of seeing the contractor and the minion itself was different.
If the demons just treat their worshipers as expendable items, they make true followers, apostles to worship them.
That’s why the devil is a ‘parasite’.
The evil god is ‘god’.
“Die!!! Kiha!!! Die!!!”
Dark red demonic energy erupted from Choi Yoongi’s hands.
Kwajajajajak!!!!
Thousands of roaches chasing the three runners were unable to break through Choi Yun-gi’s single-handed Magi Curtain and exploded.
“Weak!!! Weak!! Too weak!!! Haha!!!!!!”
Choi Yoongi couldn’t stop laughing. She was just funny.
It felt like I had beaten the wall of reality that I was afraid of.
It felt like he had put the crazy world in his hands.
That’s why I didn’t see it
The cockroaches split like a miracle of Moses.
A woman with goat horns was approaching with a heavy breath.
“Ha ha… Ha… Disgusting…”
The woman put her black armor on the hammer she was holding.
Then, the demonic energy absorbed during the day was laid low around it.
It was only then that Choi Yoon-gi was able to face the woman in the dark blue energy that was slowly approaching.
“What are you!! Don’t you dare kneel in front of me!!!!”
Already half out of his mind, he couldn’t quite grasp his opponent.
The pink-haired woman, the demon slayer, shook her head as she saw Choi Yun-gi burst into madness.
I couldn’t figure out what that meant.
The next moment, he realized that his vision had been turned upside down.
“Ke-bill-?”
Kudangtangtang!!!
The demon possessor’s huge body is blown away.
He was unable to withstand the heavy kicks of the demon slayer, who rushed to close the distance in an instant, and flew through the air and landed on the ground.
The demon slayer pulled out the demonic energy from Yoongi Choi, who was pinned to the floor.
“Kaaa!!!! That stop!!! This power!! It’s mine!!! Stop!! Don’t take it!!!! Oh, no!!!”
Even if you scream later, no one will come to rescue you.
A black hammer flies towards Choi Yoon-gi. A senseless death flies.
Kwajak!!
“Aaah!!!”
Choi Yoon-gi managed to block the attack by sacrificing one arm. He quickly exploded the magi and attacked the woman who was wielding the hammer.
She obviously hit her stomach or intestines with the intention of bursting her intestines, but at the same time as the attack came, a black armor formed on her stomach to block the attack.
Of course, even if it blocked a direct hit, it could not completely block the transmitted shock.
The woman, her pink hair fluttering, was pushed behind her. Choi Yoon-gi quickly stood up and tried to escape. I realized. That he could never defeat that strange woman on his own.
“Kuhuk.. Thoo.”
After spitting out her blood, the woman wiped her mouth and casually kicked her seat again and ran after Choi Yoon-gi. She then swung her hammer at Choi Yun-gi, who was running away.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The hammer strikes so fast that you can’t see it. Choi Yoon-gi went mad and had no time to react before her hammer hit the head, shoulder, and back of the fleeing demon possessor, crushing her spine.
“Ah!! Aww!!!”
Along with a dull rupture, only the horrible noise of flesh crushing and bones crushing reverberated through the streets for a long time.
With the screams of the demon possessor dying with his wings plucked out.
*****
In the meantime, the two who abandoned Choi Yoon-gi and ran away accelerated and quickly left the scene.
“Damn it… Hyung, isn’t that the sound of Yoongi hyung’s screams..? Also, I need help…”
“Hey. Hey! Just pretend you don’t know and run. Don’t stop. It’s too late. Yoongi’s sacrifice was in vain… Ugh!!!!”
Something got stuck in Lee Hyeon-soo’s leg, who had been running away for a while. Lee Hyeon-soo lost strength in his legs and fell while rolling forward.
As he fell, he looked up.
On the right side of Lee Hyeon-jae, who was running behind, the darkness gathered and a huge mouth formed and chewed and swallowed his right arm.
“Quaaaaa!!!!!”
Lee Hyun-jae knelt down and screamed. His older brother, Lee Hyeon-soo, grabbed the black dagger stuck in his calf and pulled it out, trying to reach his younger brother who was pouring out his blood. His body gradually hardened, and he trembled, but he was unable to approach his younger brother.
There must have been something buried in the dagger. For example, paralysis poison.
“Haha.. Damn.. Damn..”
Lee Hyeon-soo thought that they had fallen into a trap someone dug.
There was something strange about him, even from those abnormal man-eating bugs. He should have run away, not go any deeper.
“Tongue, now.. Let’s change.. We can live only by transforming..”
“Keukeuuuuu…
“You’re already wrong dude!!! It’s better to change quickly..!”
Just as Lee Hyeon-soo was about to say something more, someone approached them.
“Are you all demon possessors or something like that?”
It was a man whose face was strangely blurry… Hard to remember.
“Turn it off..! Are you, are you… Are you the owner of that crazy swarm of insects?!”
Lee Hyeon-soo shuddered with the paralyzing poison, but did not lose his spirit and shouted at his man.
He was confident that he could kill just by demonizing it.
The man whose question was chewed asked Lee Hyeon-soo in a displeased voice.
“I asked you first. But why don’t you answer? Pluto.”
Kwajik.
“Kuaaaaa”
Even his brother’s remaining arm was chewed and ripped off by a snout protruding from the darkness.
His brother’s blood splattered on his face, and Lee Hyun-soo seemed to be going out of his mind.
The technique he used took both of his brother’s arms in an instant without any preliminary action.
There is no bird to deal with. It just rips off limbs in the blink of an eye.
In front of a skill he had never heard of before, Lee Hyun-soo lost his will to fight.
“Aaaaa!!!”
Right before his arms were ripped off and he died of shock accompanied by pain, Lee Hyun-jae tried to surrender himself to the devil, as his brother had said.
However, even that fails.
Kwajijik…!
Lee Hyeon-jae’s head, which was crawling on the floor and turning into a demon, was chewed up and cut off by the Abyssal Maw. Hot blood spurted from a cross section of his neck.
Looking at his brother’s drooping torso, Lee Hyun-soo was dumbfounded.
“This… What is this…”
“If I were like you, knowing that I would change, would I just leave it alone? You killed him before he could transform.”
Lee Hyeon-soo lost most of his limbs and was stunned at the sight of his brother’s dead body.
Opponents do not give a chance to change.
I get eaten by something I don’t know before.
I wondered if it would be better to just surrender.
Of course, the monstrous human in front of me didn’t give me a chance to surrender.
Even surrendering cannot be done with one’s own will. Because that man is orchestrating this situation itself.
“Now, are you the only one left?”
Fuhuaak!!!
A tentacle stretched out from the hand of a man whose face it was difficult to remember, and tied Lee Hyeon-soo.
Feeling the pain of getting his limbs involved in a hydraulic press, Lee Hyun-soo screamed.
Then tentacles wrapped around his neck and wrapped around his mouth.
“Hey. Don’t even think about turning into a demon. Because it will explode right away.”
“Ooh… Uh…”
With his mouth tied, Lee Hyeon-soo shed tears.
Behind the man who wrapped himself in tentacles.
It was because a pink-haired woman with a hair pulled out of Choi Yoon-gi, who had been demonized, walked by.
There is no way out. You can’t run away, you can’t get out.
Even if he summons a demon into his body and transforms, he is helpless.
He is finished thought Lee Hyun-soo.
“Now, I will ask you some questions. If you answer correctly, you will die without pain. If you don’t answer properly, you will die very painfully.”
Lee Hyeon-soo nodded his head at the words of his man. Soon the tentacles that bound his mouth loosened slightly, and he was soon freed enough to speak.
“You guys, that is to say, tell me the location and power of the Central Committee.”
“That, that’s…”
Lee Hyeon-soo’s family is all in the Central Committee. He couldn’t sell out the rest of his family, even though he had just lost his brother.
Lee Hyun-soo decided to hold on. I’d rather endure even if I die…
Chow.
“Keep it off!!!”
Something cut Lee Hyun-soo’s arm and passed by.
The area where the cut was made hurt more than necessary.
Lee Hyeon-soo trembled and screamed in agony.
“Would you mind answering?”
A petite woman wearing a black mask over her face as if she had cut off her shadow, twirling her dagger, approached and whispered to Lee Hyeon-soo.
“Oh, no!!!”
“It’s Eunji. Continue.”
“Yes, brother!”
Chow. Catch up! Swish!
“Aaaaa! Turn off!! It hurts!!! It hurts!!!!!”
It took only 3 minutes for Lee Hyeon-soo to tell all he knew about the location of the central meeting and the talented people and powers inside.
He could not stand the three-minute torture and sold the place where his family was.
“Uh.. Everything, tell me everything.. Use it…”
Lee Hyeon-soo, who was drooling, ran out of tears, runny nose, and urinating, was finally able to burst into death from the pressure of the tentacles after repeating all the information he knew over and over again.
Like this, the end of a person who struggled in pain is always false.
“There are more people than I thought.”
“Iknow, right. They said it was the largest in all weathers…”
“More than anything, that demonist is the problem. Making non-awakened people demonized…”
“From what I hear, it sounds like there are limitations… But it’s a fairly embarrassing ability.”
Joon nodded and stroked his chin. Central Committee guys will become stronger the more time you give them.
The information Lee Hyun-soo said. He couldn’t believe it at once, and as a result of torturing him several times to see if the same answer came out, he obtained some information that could be considered the truth.
The number of people belonging to the central association is currently estimated to be about 200 or more, and is still increasing.
The central association is a group of survivors who settled in the building where a huge pseudo-church called ‘Our Heart Church’ was located.
It is different from tens of thousands of ordinary Awakeners identified, and the demonist Wisp Warlock, the demagogue Demagogue, and the demonist Demonist are especially dangerous.
“I never thought they would be in the neighborhood right next to us.”
“I see… I didn’t expect such a group to be established 3-40 minutes away…”
“Let’s go back at once. Tomorrow, we have no choice but to hit in earnest.”
Jo Jun lit the bodies of those who died with the Salamander and left.
