Chapter 23 – 23. Mad Redhead
Sungyong University.
Rumor has it that the chairman named the school that way because he is a fan of Jackie Chan.
The campus itself is not that big, and it is usually noisy with various students because it is used like a middle school and high school with an access road next to it.
I stood at the front gate of Jackie Chan, no, Sungyong University, looking at the way to go inside.
No one can be seen alive.
There are only fragments of torn, dismembered corpses rolling around, giving off a stench.
‘Ugh, the smell’
I covered my nose.
Jiyoon also frowned and pinched her nose.
Only Jisoo stands there, blankly looking straight ahead.
Jiyun covered her nose and said.
“It smells so bad. It wasn’t like this when I came out yesterday morning… But I feel like there are more wreckage…”
“Hasn’t the smell gotten worse over time? There must have been a lot of corpse pieces…”
“That’s it, right?”
The monster avalanche happened in the morning.
There must have been a lot of students at school, and there must have been a lot of college students going to school.
As such, the remains of the piled up bodies are also more numerous than in other places.
Thanks to that, the smell is even more terrible.
Other than the smell, I don’t feel any objection to the remains of the corpse.
Probably because he’s a necromancer.
I looked at Jiyoon and said.
“Where are the people who are said to be gathered in the school?”
“If you go through the front gate and go inside, there is a small building called Chungui-gwan.
They will be gathered there.”
“Then I’ll walk you to the front of the building.”
“Are you okay though?”
“Well, I’ve come this far, but can’t I go just a little further?”
There is a rice cake that I burned together, so how can you be so heartless?
Now that we’ve come this far, let’s go together to a safe place.
Me, Jiyoon, and Jisoo slowly moved to the main gate of the campus.
As we got closer to the front door, the smell of rotting corpses grew stronger and stronger.
Jiyoon was very upset, as if she had a very bad stomach.
“This..”
“As expected, the prediction was correct. Until yesterday, there were almost no monster corpses here. But…”
As Jiyoon said, it is not only pieces of human corpses piled up near the front gate.
Numerous corpses of monsters torn to shreds come into view.
‘What happened? Was there a battle with a large group of goblins…? Whoever..?’
I went inside slowly.
The more you go inside, the worse the smell gets.
Jiyoon’s complexion is getting worse and worse.
“It’s strange. The inside still doesn’t smell that bad… But why does it get worse? And…”
Jiyoon frowned and looked around.
“Why are there so many dead bodies of monsters?”
Do I have any clue about that?
But I think I know what’s going on here.
It could be a goblin corpse.
Even people who haven’t activated their job can catch at least one goblin if they’re not vigilant.
But..
‘Shit. Those are the big monsters. You killed even the hulking monsters?’
Among the monster’s corpses was the body of a hulking monster.
That’s three marinas.
Suddenly, I remembered the large-scale group of monsters that Jisoo and I encountered while moving to the downtown area yesterday.
A group of countless monsters who did not know where they were going.
Are they these guys?
‘Looking at the number of corpses, it seems like a guess… But who the hell did this? No matter how strong you are, it’s impossible to deal with three big monsters. No, it doesn’t make sense to slaughter monsters of this scale to this extent in the first place…’
While thinking, we arrived at Chungui Hall, where people are gathered.
Ji-yoon looked at the Chungui-gwan building with an uneasy face and said.
“Well, something is strange.”
“What?”
“I’m not sure, but the atmosphere is so different from yesterday.
That’s the same for me too
If it’s a building where survivors are said to be gathered, wouldn’t at least one person look out the window?
No, there must be someone who stands at least vigilance.
What if monsters attack?
However, the building in front of me didn’t feel that way at all. No, I don’t feel the presence itself.
‘Ah…Well.’
If there were so many corpses of monsters, I had an expectation that at least humans might be alive.
Because I thought that if there was an existence that killed monsters, it would be on the side of humans.
But looking at the building in front of me, I think I was wrong.
‘What do we do? Shall we go inside?’
While I was thinking,
I hear a buzz somewhere
And,
“Brother!”
Everything happened really quickly.
Jiyoon screamed and blocked my way.
I took the spear I had lent me and tried to block something from flying at me.
But,
It flew in and cut through the spearhead, then lodged itself in Jiyoon’s left chest.
“Oh, brother…”
Ji-yoon, who calls out to me, falls down on me as it is.
A small hatchet was lodged in her chest.
In an instant, I stared blankly at Jiyoon, who had collapsed into my arms.
“Uh… Uh uh…”
Jiyoon’s body in my arms trembles.
Blood bubbles bubbled up from her mouth.
Tears flowed from Jiyoon’s eyes, and she turned her pupils to look at me.
“Uh, Mom.. Dad.. I need to find the car..”
Those were Jiyoon’s last words.
Ji-yoon breaks her head as it is.
What happened?
Jiyoon, who was talking to me until just a moment ago, has become a cold corpse and is being held in my arms.
How many times have you seen death already?
She saw Jisoo and Seongman die by the monster right in front of her eyes,
Si-eun, who ran away from the monster, also died in front of me. I also saw Changsu and Jeonghyeon who were killed by bullies.
There was also a guy who died directly by my hand.
But no death has touched me as much as it does now.
The woman I hugged and hugged countless times until dawn is now dying in my arms.
For the first time in a freak avalanche, I felt real death.
At that time,
[The conditions to open the door to the Underworld have been met.]
A message popped up in front of my eyes.
You say you can open the door to the underworld?
Are you referring to the door in the cradle of rest?
But that’s not important now.
I put the message away in front of me and looked in the direction the hatchet came from.
“Oops, it wasn’t that older sister I was aiming for… She’s a pretty older sister who died~~ ? She was that older sister just my style~”
She appeared out of nowhere and was a standing woman.
What is that girl?
She’s not even human at all.
Red hair, and red eyes.
Skin that is not white but feels blue.
She’s wearing a gorgeous black dress with her plunging breasts and flowing lace, just like she would at a party.
She could tell at a glance that she was an exotic and heterogeneous woman, but of great beauty.
If you look at it this far, you can’t say she’s not human.
But
The two horns sprouting from either side of her head indicate that she is not human.
No, apart from her outward appearance, the flowing atmosphere gives off a very ominous feeling.
‘What? The force that exudes is almost at the end of the day, right? No, it’s the time when only goblins come out, but what are you going to do when something like the final boss comes out already? ‘
While I was looking at her with her nervous eyes, her hatchet stuck in Jiyun’s chest floated up and returned to her redhead.
The blood that gushed out of Jiyoon’s chest flowed down her.
I shouted as I glared at her red hair with furious eyes.
“You-“
“Shut up.”
A redhead pointing at me with a hatchet.
“In honor of that pretty sister’s spirit of sacrifice, I’m still keeping you alive, a stinky, disgusting, repulsive man. So shut up and be still.”
What a crazy year
What a crazy year
By the way, is that Korean? It’s not Korean, so why can I understand it?
At that time, a weak light rose from the hatchet pointed at me.
And her red hair who saw it said with a smile.
“Oh my. Unnie, you were quite a strong human being. Our cute baby is a little bit bigger thanks to her sister’s blood, isn’t it?”
“What crazy right now—”
“I told you to shut up!!”
A red-haired madman shouting hysterically and throwing the hatchet he was holding.
But I was also expecting something.
I threw my body to the side and rolled over, calling out the name of my black knight.
“Seo Ji-soo!!”
Jisoo rushes at the red-haired crazy bitch at my command.
Now that he threw the hatchet at me, the redhead’s hand is empty.
In addition, Jisoo’s only skill, ‘If you attack with a big swing…’
Turuk
With my mouth wide open, I looked at the redhead who grabbed Jisoo’s stick with my bare hands.
No, that’s too bad
If it was an attack with the ‘big swing’ skill, which is wielded with the current index stat, it would be an attack that would take quite a hit even against a large monster, even a monster of one level higher than that. Are you blocking it with your bare hands?
Isn’t this too out of balance?
The redhead is holding onto Jisoo’s club and smiling, even showing her composure when talking to Jisoo.
“Oh my sister, you’re really pretty too? She’s so quiet that I couldn’t see properly. What is it?
“Seo Ji-soo! Come back!”
At my command, Jisoo quickly got away from the redhead and came towards me.
The redhead frowned and told me.
“Hey. You told me to shut up, right? You can’t. I tried to kill you slowly because I saw pretty sisters, but I’d rather just die now.”
As she reached out her hand, the hatchet stuck in her ground flew back to her redhead.
‘Anyway, that’s not something you can win right now. Even the power of the index doesn’t work at all…’
The redhead with the hatchet pointed back at me and said.
“I’ll listen to your last words. Be grateful to the pretty sister who died in your place. It’s because of her that I give men like this every chance.”
Ha, you’ll listen to my humble last words?
Then you don’t have to give up.
I said while staring at the red hair from behind (it might have been a bit unsightly).
“You seem to hate men?”
“Huh? I told you to make a will, so you’re asking a question? Well, men are stupid. It’s a racial trait, so I’ll understand. Of course they hate it. How can they like things that are dirty, smelly, and repulsive?”
Yeah it seemed like that
I nodded and growled at the red-haired madman.
“I promise you one thing. You’ll groan and howl under me, the man you hate.
At that time, asking for forgiveness just once won’t work. So just wait. Got it?”
A redhead staring at me as if I was stunned by my words.
“..Is that all? Is the will over?
Her words couldn’t go any further.
It should be natural.
Me and Jisoo, who were in front of me, disappeared in an instant.
It was only when I entered the Cradle of Rest that I could breathe a sigh of relief.
