Chapter 90 – Episode 90. Skeleton Rain Falls From the Sky
The car driven by Dong-seok runs smoothly down the road.
I was lost in thought while looking at the scenery outside the window that I couldn’t see well.
The sudden appearance of garbage.
At this time, when we are already busy fighting monsters, a large-scale group of trash are aiming for the same humans.
To be honest, I was quite happy with it.
It was a situation where she was confused about how to persuade Lee Soo-ah, but she seemed to have caught a little clue.
Wouldn’t Lee Soo-ah have such thoughts if she was hit and miss by the same human beings instead of monsters?
The idea that humans and this world are not worth saving.
At first, I don’t think that’s a big idea, but I don’t think that something like what happened will happen just once.
Because that’s what the world really is.
As it accumulates and accumulates, Lee Soo-ah also develops distrust of humans and then…
‘In addition… The existence of her niece, Jia, will also be a pretty big variable.’
Now, Lee Soo-ah, who has the power as a warrior and guild leader, can protect and protect her only blood relative, Jia, but later, when the fight is over and all power is gone, will that be possible even then?
A beautiful woman and her little nephew who have lost their power in this lawless world…
Well, even if you think about it roughly, it will be difficult to lead a smooth life.
If you keep reminding me of that…
Of course, these thoughts are all assumptions.
The assumptions that I just thought of in a good direction for me.
However, if I shed the above thoughts little by little next to Lee Soo-ah, I think Lee Soo-ah’s heart will settle in the direction I want.
The goal is that.
It is to instill distrust and hatred towards fellow human beings in Lee Soo-ah little by little and make her think that the world is not worth protecting.
And then I’m persuading you.
-Let’s continue playing this game.
With our strength, we can live together forever while protecting the person we love to the end.
You know how to stab me in the back every time. What does trashy people have to do with it?
Let’s not bother with those things-
It’s like this.
It’s a rough idea, so there are not one or two weak points, but I don’t think it’s bad if you hold the big frame like that and make up for it as you go along.
Ah, come to think of it, I think I set the bet period with Juniel too tight.
If it’s 6 months… It might be pretty tight.
There are only 5 months left.
What can I do though?
I will have to do it.
As I was thinking about this and that, the moving car squeaked and stopped.
“Huh? What. Are you all here already?”
Hey, it’s still fast.
Picking up Dongseok was truly a godsend.
Dong-seok and I got out of the car and started looking around.
They say they are staying in a building near here.
Where are you going
I was walking around looking around, and I was able to find the place where the enemies were gathered faster than I thought.
Even in such a dark night, there was a place where the lights were brightly lit.
How did they light up the lights like this?
Is there anything you can do to attract all the monsters around you?
I walked slowly in the direction of the light.
You can’t go straight ahead and see it.
When I entered the alley between buildings and poked my head out, I was able to see the building as the target.
A roaring fire in a large drum.
There were as many as four such drums installed.
It’s not like that.
A group of people can be seen hanging out around the drum.
The number of people who seemed to be about 10 people.
Weapons such as swords, axes, and spears are held in each hand.
Those guys must be the ones who think it’s the original guild or something.
There were quite a few corpses of monsters piled up around the drum in front of the building.
Staying in a place like this so noisy, it must have attracted quite a few monsters around it.
There are so many different types of dead monsters.
Goblins, Goblin Warriors, Orcs, and even monsters with large scalloped heads that I have never seen before.
‘.. I don’t think it’s normal guys. Seeing how many different types of monsters he killed…’
After carefully examining the corpses of people and monsters at the entrance of the building, I moved.
The building right next to the building they are staying in.
That was my goal.
The entrance of the building I was trying to enter was too obvious from the entrance of the building where the enemies were staying.
If you enter the building through the entrance, it’s in such a way that everyone around the drum can notice my presence.
Therefore, entering through the entrance should be avoided.
What if you can’t enter through the entrance?
You have to enter through the entrance.
I moved to the back of the building and summoned the door of rest against the wall of the building.
Open the door to rest and go inside.
“Brother!”
My subordinates welcomed Dongseok with me.
Jiyoon approached me and said.
“Brother! What happened? He suddenly told me to prepare for battle… And where is this place?”
I gave my subordinates a brief explanation of what had happened in Isua’s guild.
My subordinates who nodded as if they understood only after hearing my story.
Shieun said.
“Then, this is the building next door where they are, right? If you go up, you can see where they are very clearly.”
After nodding my head, I used the ‘move the door’ skill to enter the building.
The interior space of the building gives only a dark and dreary feeling.
I found the stairs of the building and started slowly climbing up.
Si-eun, Ji-yoon, and Ji-soo are chasing after me.
“What are you guys doing? I’m going to go upstairs anyway and summon the Cradle of Rest again.”
“Eh, but… How can I let you go alone?”
Si-eun crossed her arms while talking.
Ah.
Warm
Come to think of it, their ‘mimicking’ was active.
Great, that’s good too
I want to quickly finish this job and experiment with the usefulness of the ‘Mimic’ skill.
We went up the stairs to the third floor of the building.
You don’t have to climb too high.
If it’s three stories high, you can see down very well.
I summoned the door of rest against the wall in the direction of the building where the enemies were staying.
I think Cradle of Rest is most useful when used this way.
Open the door and go inside,
The cradle of rest created through the building welcomes me.
A cradle of rest surrounded on all sides like a transparent glass wall.
“Hey..”
Hearing the sound of breathing in, I turned around and saw that it was Jisoo.
Since he has a fear of heights, Jisoo is always scared when the cradle of rest is made like this.
Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I played aerial play with Jisoo.
I’ll have to do it again soon
Ji-soo hugged Ji-yoon’s arm and entered the cradle of rest with her eyes closed.
Eyes that are tightly closed and do not open.
I feel like a chimney to play around with my eyes wide open and take a good look at my surroundings, but…
Now is not the time for that.
I looked at the enemy’s camp in plain sight below my feet.
Ten people still hanging out.
The inside of the building where the enemy is staying is just dark and quiet.
Everyone must be sleeping as time is time.
The guys over there must have been there to stand guard.
Well then, let’s test their fighting ability first.
I plan to use the Skeleton Soldiers to observe them fighting.
Oh, first of all…
I opened the status window and invested all the remaining 6 skill points after raising the ‘Arise’ skill to level 13 in the ‘Army of the Dead’ skill.
[The skill ‘Legion of the Dead’ has reached level 3. The amount of Mana consumed when using the skill is reduced.]
[The ‘Legion of the Dead’ skill has reached level 4. The number of Skeleton Soldiers summoned increases by 5.]
Oh wow, that’s got some pretty nice side effects.
To think that 5 skeleton soldiers were added.
That’s a 50% increase in power.
Plus, it reduces mana consumption.
It was quite burdensome as it cost 100 mana to summon once.
I don’t know how much the consumption will decrease, but the reduction itself is perceptible.
Now it’s time to summon the Skeleton Soldier.
Um… But would it be okay to summon it from within the Cradle of Rest?
Originally, when summoned outside, the skeletons split the ground and then squeezed up.
If you summon it in the Cradle of Rest and it breaks through the floor… That’s quite a problem.
I’m anxious, but what can I do?
What you don’t know is to experiment.
I stretched out my hand and used the ‘Army of the Dead’ skill.
Black smoke escaped from his hands, and he could feel mana being sucked out.
A glance at the status window revealed that a total of 80 mana was used.
And,
Instead of breaking through the floor, my skeleton soldiers slowly emerge from the air.
Phew i’m glad
The floor of the cradle of rest is safe.
A total of 15 Skeleton Soldiers are summoned in the Cradle of Rest, so it feels quite stuffy.
I moved the door to the outer wall using the ‘Move Door’ skill and opened it wide.
My 15 Skeleton Soldiers, holding goblin daggers, await my orders.
I told them
“Come and fight to your heart’s content.”
When my order was given, the Skeleton Soldiers rushed out of the door of rest.
****
Lee Jeong-soo, one of the battle leaders of the Won Guild.
His face, which looks quite stern, is now distorted, with large knife scars running from his right forehead to his left face.
Sitting next to the drum, chewing on the beef jerky he bought at the store, he vented his anger at Choi Yong-seok, who was sitting next to him.
“Sir, baby. Do you get mad the more you think about it? All the corrupt things below are sleeping, so why do I have to be vigilant here? It looks like it’s going to jump up and knock it all over.”
As he growled, Choi Yong-seok, who was listening to him, spoke as if to comfort him.
“Tea, be patient, brother. Isn’t it because at least one person as strong as you has to stand guard together?”
“No sir. Then shouldn’t you just tell Minsu to stand guard? Am I up? Is he Wei?”
“That mi, Minsu-hyung got hurt while fighting monsters today..”
“Did that bastard fight alone? I fought too! Is that kid just hurt? I was hurt too!!”
Excitedly, Lee Jung-soo rolls up his sleeves.
The arm beneath his raised sleeve was wrapped in bandages with some blood oozing out.
Seeing that, Choi Yong-soo stammered and said,
“Mi, isn’t Minsu-hyung seriously injured? I, Jung-soo hyung-nim, understand a little.-“
“Hey, you bastard. Do I have to look at things like that? This bastard scratches people gently because he wants to see you? Minsu is your leader, isn’t it?”
Choi Yong-seok rolled his head diligently, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Even within the guild, he is called a viper and is Lee Jeong-soo, who has a very tenacious personality.
If I was caught in the pod for no reason, I would be tired forever.
He looked around to see if anyone could help him, but since everyone knew Lee Jung-soo’s personality, he was just pretending not to know this place.
‘Bastards, I’ll help you… Knowing how hard it is to deal with this crazy venomous snake…’
While sweating profusely, Choi Yong-seok pondered over how to relieve Lee Jeong-soo’s twisted heart, and saw something strange in his eyes.
‘… Skull..?’
A rain of skeletons pouring down from the air.
Seeing the scene so surreal, Choi Yong-seok pondered for a moment whether what he saw was real or not, and in the meantime, the skeletons that landed on the ground rushed towards his colleagues like Deukdal.
“Aaaaa!!!”
A skeleton dagger is pierced into the head of a colleague who is resting nearby.
A colleague who loses his life in vain and collapses.
And,
“What the fuck!”
“Enemies! It’s a monster!!”
“Ahhh, what is this!! Do, do, run away!!”
All of my colleagues who were on the lookout panicked and panicked.
The same goes for Choi Yong-seok.
From the moment he saw the skeletons, he could feel an unknown sense of fear engulfing his body.
If it wasn’t for the wobbly legs, the feeling of wanting to get up and run away right away.
But then
“Get your senses, you assholes!!!!!!”
A cry so loud that my eardrums were torn came from right next to me.
It was Lee Jeong-soo who had been pushing himself until just now.
He started yelling at his surroundings.
“You assholes! What are you afraid of, damn you!! Wake up!!! Fight assholes!! Those who run away will follow me first!!!!”
Choi Yong-seok could feel that the fear encroaching on him had faded a little at Lee Jeong-soo’s shouting.
Also, perhaps because of the loud noise, people began to feel the presence in the building where the main unit was sleeping.
If you hold out for a while, your colleagues will come out of the building.
Gaining his courage, Choi Yong-seok jumped up from his seat and raised his weapon.
And, his mind was cut off there.
Not only the mind, but also the functions of the body stopped on the spot.
It was because of the goblin dagger that flew from the group of skeletons and lodged in his forehead.
Seeing Choi Yong-seok crumbling with a dagger stuck in his forehead, Lee Jeong-soo let out an angry roar.
“These dog-like bony bastards!!!!”
Already, all of the subordinates who were guarding together had collapsed on the floor.
Even if he got out of panic to some extent at Lee Jung-soo’s shouting, it was because he could not overcome the skeleton soldiers with his body dulled by fear.
The number of Skeleton Soldiers, which had been 15, was reduced to 11, as if it was not the only thing that had been suffered.
Lee Jung-soo gritted his teeth and thought.
‘Why is no one coming out! Damn bastards. Be lazy and take it!’
In fact, Lee Jung-soo was also not free from fear.
Strangely, looking at those skeletons, I could feel my legs shaking.
The situation was better than that of his men, so he tried to shake off his fear by shouting, but it was not completely normal.
In that state, Lee Jeong-soo started a fight with 11 skeleton soldiers.
Lee Jung-soo, holding a large ax in both hands, rushes at the skeletons.
Three skeletons were shattered and collapsed in an instant by the ax he wielded, but his body was restrained by the skeletons that attacked and entangled him.
“Oops! Let go!! You bastards!!!”
After defeating two more skeleton soldiers by twisting his entire body, Lee Jung-soo tried to pull himself out, and saw the skeleton soldiers holding their daggers high.
‘Ah… Sipal..’
The dagger of the Skeleton Soldiers that mercilessly strikes down.
At first, I felt tremendous pain, but soon even the pain disappeared and the scene in front of me was engulfed in darkness.
The last thing he saw was his comrades who, belatedly, stormed out of the building.
‘Sifal… You bastards… Will come out soon…’
He couldn’t move the thought for the last time.
