Chapter 396 – 396. Flowers Bloom Even at Graves (4)
– One –
Without any hint,
Push shook!
Awesome love!
Fufufufufufufufu!
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Aaaaa!”
Pointed stakes sprout from the floor.
As if they had been prepared for that from the beginning, they soared at an unusually rapid pace.
Visor!
Spaw!
“Spread!”
Targeting himself, cutting down the towering stake, the leader quickly gave orders to the agents.
There were four victims, but
Papapat!
Shasha shak!
Those who survived began to scatter in all directions, avoiding the ever-rising stakes.
However, because the area was overgrown with trees and bushes, the places they could escape to were limited.
They had no choice but to be divided into three groups.
Following the leader, four people fled to the north, and two other groups of five and six people fled to the east and west, respectively.
Tatatatatatat!
Push shush shush!
“Kuhh…!”
“Run! Run!”
Waves of piles follow them.
The road they took was quite narrow, so the five people fleeing eastward were usually grouped together in close proximity.
They exchange glances.
Their eyeballs sweep forward, left and right, and upward once.
Among them, the one who ran the most ahead gestures upward.
Those who followed nodded.
Immediately after the unspoken meeting,
Papa papa papa!
Whoops!
They jumped up all at once,
Tup, Tup Tup!
Shashashashashak!
He climbed a nearby tree and started climbing.
Let them climb the tree and look down,
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Waves of stakes pass beneath them.
Shake, shake
Shaaaaa
The tree on which they hang staggers.
Immediately after they clung on together, they swayed violently, and the tremors slowly began to subside.
“Whoa…”
“Are you alive…”
They breathe a sigh of relief.
He rubbed his cheek against his shoulder, wiping away the cold sweat running down his face.
At that time,
Diing, diing.
Gee ying.
“Huh?”
“What is this…?”
Several agents notice that something like a string pulled taut is vibrating.
Upon reflection, it seemed that it had been vibrating since they hung from the tree.
“Damn…!”
“Ha, trap,”
Just before they deliver a message of warning to their comrades,
Whiik, Whiririk!
Whoa!
“…!”
The thick twigs that were around them flew away,
Slap, slap!
Puck, puck!
“Evil!”
“Quaaaaagh!”
Start beating them
At the same time,
Whip, whistle!
Shake, shake!
“Billion, uh uh!”
“Oh, no!”
The branch on which they cling begins to shake violently.
Just like tree branches in a typhoon, they sway with an amplitude and intensity that is not normally possible.
Finally,
Slip!
Whiik!
“Ahhh…!”
“Kyaaaaah
Those who fall from the branches appear one after another.
The order was different, but
Fu-wook!
Whoops!
Wow!
“Keuheugh…”
“Oops, oops…”
The ending they met was the same.
Impaled on stakes, their breath slowly began to stop.
– 2 –
“Hee-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok…”
“Haha…”
Those heading to the west stop on the side of the forest road and breathe heavily while standing.
The place they chose was relatively quiet and in the direction of a wide road, so they just ran along the road, spreading out.
It never occurred to them that it would have kept their lives alive.
“Haa… How long have you been here?”
“It seems to have run about 3km…”
“How much is the effective range of this ability?”
“…”
They look back with tired eyes.
The waves of piles stopped just ten meters away from them.
“What’s even more surprising than the distance… Is that these crazy stakes were buried down there, at least in hundreds of thousands.”
“S-I can’t believe it… You didn’t create them on the spot, did you?”
Purrrr.
They tremble in unison.
Either way, just imagining it was terrifying.
“Why don’t we take a short break and start communicating with our colleagues? Since they suddenly scattered, shouldn’t we at least check each other’s life and death and move on properly?”
“Yes.”
They calm their trembling bodies and head to a place somewhat away from the pile waves.
Although no one specifically suggested it, they naturally become close to each other.
With only six people left, they had no choice but to band together and assuage their fears.
Jerk, jerk, jerk.
It was a cold, dry winter day, but all of them were emitting heat from their sprint, so they naturally gathered under the shade of the trees.
Fluff, fluff.
Whoop whoop.
They lean against a tree stump and sit down.
Dirt is flying.
Swoop.
Among them, the one with the communication magic tool takes it out of his bosom.
Piririk.
“Chief. Respond, Captain.”
Request a communication link from their leader.
But,
Brilliant.
Woo woo woo.
“What…?”
“That’s the beep that sounds when the connection wait time is exceeded.”
“…What happened to the captain?”
“…”
Oh so so so.
Goosebumps run down their backs.
It feels like the body heat is taken away much faster than the winter air cools down.
“If the leader doesn’t respond, call the assistant leader.”
“Uh.”
Piririk.
He turned to the vice-captain’s magic tool and requested a communication connection.
Time passes without a hitch.
However, there is no communication connection with the assistant manager.
Within,
Brilliant.
Woo woo woo.
Communication is terminated because the connection wait time is exceeded.
“Even the deputy chief…”
“Damn it…”
Agents are frustrated.
An agent,
Quaang!
He strikes the trunk of a tree with his fist.
That moment,
Deeing, Deeeeeing!
A strange echo begins to spread.
In an instant, silence falls over them.
“Now… Did you not hear something?”
“I heard. It was a ringing sound.”
Listening to their conversation, the others also nod cautiously.
Papa pat!
They retreat all at once from the trunk of the tree.
Sreung, Chaeng!
Chae Chae Chae!
They draw their weapons and guard against the saju.
That moment,
Shureuk, shrrrr.
Sarah La La Rock.
“That, that…!”
“The stakes are gone!”
The stakes that drove them here, quietly and step by step, began to sink back into the ground.
Slither.
“…”
The hole through which the stake came out is covered with dirt.
It is completely filled, and even the traces of it rising are blurred.
Oh so so so so.
Rattling.
The agents’ faces start to turn blue.
If this was not reported to the headquarters, it was clear that their second generation would also be sacrificed to this extent.
“Damn it…! Contact headquarters right now,”
The moment an agent shouted at an agent with a communication magic tool,
Whoa!
Aaaaagh!
Slap!
“Chehehe…!”
A hard tree trunk comes flying and smashes his head.
Fuhuaaak!
Chow ah!
“…!”
Disgusting filth of brains, blood, and bone fragments splattered in all directions.
Some fly into the mouths of the agents, who are wide open in surprise.
Before they can react,
Whiik, wheeeeeik!
Barbababak!
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Sa, save, billion, oh oh oh!”
The trees begin to lay their mormaes.
But it was clear that the one whose head exploded all at once was extraordinarily lucky.
“Kuuuuu…”
“Chehehehehe…”
“Keep it up…”
Kwajik, Kwajik, Kwajik!
Iron pike, iron pudjeok!
Pooh, poo, ooh!
To the extent that it feels tenacious, it is because the tree trunks chopped them finely and killed them.
The transition, made of flesh and blood, was spread out on the floor.
Shrrrr
Squeak, squeak.
Jurrrr.
Roots sprout from the ground.
Even such traces quickly disappear.
No matter how hardened they were, people died easily.
– 3 –
About 30 minutes before those who fled to the west died.
Sabak, Sabak, Sabak.
Those who fled with the leader were spread out at a considerable distance.
Seeing that the scale of the attack was not small, it was to prevent everyone from being massacred at once.
Cao Zhang was scattered with his companions,
“It’s not that the enemy ran away or there was an error. It must have been hiding somewhere in the area, listening to our conversation!”
– Are you sure?
“Yes!”
He was holding a communication magic tool and talking to someone at headquarters.
By informing them of their situation, she hoped that the latter would come after taking appropriate measures.
She hoped that those who had crossed her precipice with her would share the terrible situation they had been through.
“Centered at the place where we were waiting,”
At that time,
Shrrrr
A tree trunk suddenly sprouted from the ground,
Puff!
Fuhuaaaaagh!
Pierce the thigh of the leader who was alone.
“Turn it off…!”
Grinding her teeth as she endures her pain.
– What’s going on?!
“Enemy, go, attack,”
The moment she tried to convey the situation while suppressing her pain,
Weeeee!
Tree trunks flew like rays of light,
Kwajik!
“Ah…”
She smashes the telecom tool she was holding.
Hard!
Grinding her teeth, she resolves to focus on escaping first.
Seruk, Chaeng!
She draws her sword from her waistband.
The moment he tried to strike down the tree trunk that had pierced her thigh,
Fufufufu!
Deude Deuk!
Tens of thousands of sharp spines sprout from the surface that touches her thighs.
It cuts through her muscles and gnaws through her bones like a beast’s teeth.
“Aww…!”
Parrrr!
Her body trembles from her pain.
But the thorns were relentless, and also, unforgiving.
Jeezy, Jeezy!
Supportive!
Thorns run under her skin.
It spreads out in countless branches and instantly takes over her entire body.
Chwack, chwaaaaak!
Patter!
“Turn it off, turn it off…!”
Blood is pouring from so many places at the same time that it is hard to pinpoint where.
It was because the tree trunks were persistently digging into the crevices of her skin and muscles, as if they wanted to become her blood vessels.
Not even that
Jeezy, Jeezy!
Like a twitch, a twitch!
Chii profit!
A thorn breaks through her skin.
She raises her eyes.
“Kiyaaaaagh!”
At last, the tree trunk succeeds in squeezing out of her mouth something mixed with despair and pain.
The movement of the tree trunk was tenacious, bold, and unstoppable.
“Aaaaah…!”
Her desperate scream echoes for a long time.
Hearing it,
Papa papapat!
“Captain!”
Agents nearby come running.
But only two people came running.
The face of the woman who was called the captain turns blue.
“Oh, come, kekeuk, don’t come…!”
Startle.
Hearing her order, they stop.
Shashak!
Chuck!
They quickly get back to you.
It was because the gruesome deaths of their colleagues who had gone ahead came to their minds only then.
“Keuheuk, muh, don’t think of being here like an idiot.”
Uzijik.
Tree trunks and thorns begin to break within her body.
Shrapnel burrows into her muscle crevices.
“Kyaaaaa…!”
Burrrr!
She groans in her agony, unable to finish her words to her men.
“Damn it…!”
“Should I just leave it as the captain said…”
“In that state, there’s really no hope…”
The two agents begin to conflict.
I wonder if it would be better for her to run away as she said, or if it would be better for her to make every effort to rescue her.
At that time,
Shureuk, shureuk!
“Oh, Annette?!”
“Damn…!”
Five or six new thorns sprout from the ground.
It moves slowly as if to show off.
Shureuk, Shureuk.
Salang, salang.
They slowly hover in front of the female agent’s eyes.
“Ahhh…”
Fear and despair slowly crept into her eyes.
Tree trunks and thorns had been taunting her from the beginning.
She was inflicting pain so that she would not die by tearing off non-fatal parts.
They waited patiently for her to let out her scream.
As soon as she couldn’t bear it and let out her screams, they began to cast her leisurely fishing poles, using her as her bait.
Of course, what they were fishing for were her companions.
“Stop!”
“Release the captain, you devil! What are you doing cowardly taking the wounded hostage?!”
The agents who were watching by the side shouted.
It looked like she was shouting proudly at the enemy, but in reality she had ten thousand tails.
Parr.
Rattling.
Their legs were constantly twitching, betraying their master’s will.
Their bodies also tremble dangerously.
However, they could neither escape her nor save her.
Let them wander,
Poof!
Poojjik!
“Keeeeeg
A thorn lodges in her anus.
“Me, me, crazy?!”
“Fuck…!”
Cadde deuk.
The cruelty shown by the thorns and tree trunks arouses the wrath of the agents.
The toes of the agents start to shake.
Zuzuzuk!
Chuck!
Their bodies turn unmistakably toward the female agent called the leader.
Puffy, Puffy!
Fuhuaak!
“Ki -ye, kiyaa ahhhhh!”
Two thorns in succession pierce her anus.
If she can’t get her to the right healer in time, she will have to live with fecal incontinence for the rest of her life.
Of course, it was a thing that could be established under the assumption that she did not die here and survived.
Whoops, whoops, whoops!
Zureut, zzuzuzuzu!
Wow!
Chwack, chwaaaaagh!
The remaining three thorns begin to pierce her body one by one.
It was digging into the leader’s flesh very slowly.
He was digging in so slowly, that the term digging through was more appropriate.
Two pierced her chest obliquely, and one pierced her genitals.
The thorns that pierced her chest did not touch her lungs or heart, but only ripped through her breasts, which were made up of lumps of fat and flesh.
What pierced her genitals didn’t go inside, but only pierced her labia.
Through it, the intention of the thorn is more clearly revealed.
“Keep it off, turn it off…”
She makes a choking noise.
Her eyeballs turn
“Damn it…! I’ll take the lead, so take the back.”
Sreung, Chaeng!
An impatient agent decides to rescue him and pulls out his sword.
“I get it.”
Other agents don’t stop him either.
Even if he didn’t step out, it’s because he was thinking of stepping out and rescuing the leader.
Shashak!
Tat tat tat!
One runs ahead.
Another agent backs him up.
In preparation for a surprise attack, they quickly attack the place where their leader is.
The distance between them was no more than ten meters at most, so they quickly approached the captain.
“Captain!”
An agent running ahead of her calls her.
The emotion in his voice was desperate as he sensed her consciousness was drifting away.
That moment,
Shruck, shruck!
Woodeuk, wooddeudeudeuk!
Push!
Charrrr!
“Uh, uh…?”
Her body begins to swell, making strange noises.
“That’s right…”
She raises her eyes.
But all he could see was bloodshot whites.
“Geureuk, geureuk…”
Gloop, Gloop.
Rumble.
What came out of her mouth was no longer a product of reason.
It was even less the product of instinct or emotion.
It was nothing more than the sound of something leaking out of my body that shouldn’t come out of my body, my lungs squeezing and spewing out.
“Mi, crazy?!”
“What, billion?!”
Before the agents could do anything,
Woo woo woo woo!
“In the air…”
As the thorns and trunks in her body swelled mercilessly,
Wow!
Chaaaaagh!
Patter.
Explode her body
A person’s body is shattered into pieces.
Tuk, Degururr.
Iron pudduck.
Her head and torn limbs tumble across the floor.
So great was her agony right before her death that, though her face was undisturbed by thorns and tree trunks, it was grotesquely distorted beyond recognition of her true form.
“…”
“Ah…”
The person called the leader is not there.
Messy organic and inorganic materials are scattered around in a mess.
“This, this…!”
The moment the one who rushed in front expressed anger and tried to attack the plant monster,
Tup.
“Hey!”
The person behind him grabs his shoulder.
Purrrr.
The fingertips holding his shoulder were shaking unsteadily.
“Something?”
“Come on, ah… It’s late…”
The agent behind him tries to offer to escape immediately, but gives up.
Shureuk, shureureuk!
Shaaaaa!
“Damn it…”
It is because the trunks of trees surrounded them before they knew it.
“I should have listened to the captain’s words…”
“Keuhehe… It’s too late to regret it.”
“I can’t just die, though.”
“Am.”
They light up their eyes
Swoop.
Tup, Tup.
He takes out a small magic tool from his bosom.
Kwajik, Kwajik!
Crushing it in his grasp,
“Long live the Whiskai family!”
“Long live the Whiskai family!”
Sing the eternity of the imperial family.
Immediately after that,
Fuhuaaaaa!
A huge pillar of fire begins to soar.
Kwaaaaang!
Kururrrr!
The ensuing explosion completely overturns the area.
The bodies of everyone in it were neatly cremated.
Needless to say, all the thorns and tree trunks that were hunting them disappeared.
After a while, all that was left there was ashes and bone meal.
