Chapter 165

“A plan is just a plan. The reality is that it’s not so easy.”

Minsu complained and leaned against a bare tree that looked like it would break at any moment.

At first glance, Lee Do-hyeong’s operation and the operation of using the Korean yokai hostile against the snake power as an ally seemed to work.

However, the reality is that the original plan does not work very well.

The opponent is a monster.

When they look at them, they attack and they are close to carnivores who cannot communicate.

It wasn’t that communication itself wasn’t impossible, but it couldn’t have been easier.

Above all, the target of communication was not to be a terminal soldier.

In the end, we have to find their captain-

‘It’s so damn wide.’

Recon hunters including him in the party are searching the area.

In fact, they are world-class search-type hunters. I didn’t think it would take that long, but this dungeon was bigger than I thought.

Even if it wasn’t, the battle area was running around avoiding speed, but it was really wide enough to be ignorant.

I wondered if it might be wider than Korea.

“Are you here today?”

Minsu said looking at the clock provided by the system.

If you go too far, it will be difficult to go back.

Because a huge tornado was going to happen today.

In order to evacuate, it was necessary to return to the base where others were waiting.

There, you can gather with other people and gather information.

‘At least I lived because I had a map, but where did Mr. Sungjin get this information?’

Minsu thought as he took out a sword in his hand.

It was a map that Seongjin made on the spot when I came here.

As it was not made by an expert, the scale was not correct, but the surrounding terrain, which could be seen at a glance, made it possible to use it as a map.

chuck-

Minsu marked one of them with an X.

It was one of the places where the place where the commander of a Korean yokai might be located was marked.

These are the places they mostly check.

I checked one place today, so I can find another place next time.

“…can you find them all?”

one place per day.

However, there were dozens of suspicious areas.

***

As Minsu turned around, he looked all around.

Hell was the word.

In the geothermal heat that boils like magma, the monsters of the two factions are constantly fighting.

In this dungeon, flames shoot up everywhere, and the monster just before becoming a corpse collapses, and other monsters eat it.

“It’s hell…”

The world he saw through his eyes was really like that.

Just watching it makes me sick.

The skill Jeong-an, who has advanced enough to level up and evolved once, has now become like his own eyes.

This made it possible for the eyes to comprehend everything.

Originally, Jeongan had some conditions to give an answer to the purpose he had in his head.

It should be a solution that can be solved with information that the individual knows within the range of movement.

This was the original plan.

But this has changed a bit.

Even if they move as a group rather than as an individual, the range of solutions that can be solved has been expanded.

He was able to give orders to others other than himself to solve it.

In addition, the amount of information that can be obtained through Jeongan has increased significantly.

It is now possible to read not only external information, but also information inside the system and their thoughts and feelings.

“If this is hell, it’s the snakes that make it.”

Min-soo, who glanced at Jeong-an, thought.

I’ve actually seen snakes and read their thoughts with my eyes.

Contrary to their appearance, they were pure and had only a small desire.

In the first place, being an animal is a pure law that is driven by instinct rather than reason.

But not those snakes.

Their way of moving moves for the death of their opponent.

They were full of malice to kill their opponents, not to eat, reproduce, and live.

It was like seeing a robot built for that purpose.

Even now, seeing and feeling it as one, I could feel the disgust as if my heart and eyes were rotting away.

I was thinking of getting rid of that.

I thought I wanted to save the dying monsters from them.

Kwajik-!

chock-

A goblin yokai fell down by grabbing the teeth of a giant snake.

Still, the snake itself hugged it tightly, preventing it from moving.

And dogs and bird-type monsters ran into the snake’s body and bit it.

Both fell dead.

When you kill one, usually one youkai dies.

Gradually it began to turn into powder. Perhaps after a while, it will become one of the mysterious magic stones that have fallen on the ground.

Still, he smiled at the end.

– Protect the village.

– To protect her wife.

– For the future of your child… .

– Damn it. Somebody save me

– Mr. Uldong… .

I read their thoughts out of curiosity.

The thoughts of the monsters reverberated in my mind.

Again, these monsters resemble humans. No, it was more pure than them.

Because their heart was only the will to protect.

There was a sense of fear, but it was not about dying, but about not being able to protect it.

To protect the village of youkai behind them.

The images of the people they wanted to protect seemed to be transparently reflected on the bodies of each of them.

‘I want to help, but… .’

He bit her lip and turned her head away.

Social life was a law that was out of control.

I don’t know if it is an individual

As an individual, you only have to fulfill your responsibility.

However, the moment you become a group rather than an individual, what you do can harm the group as well.

Therefore, the action had to be more cautious.

There was a high possibility that the snake monsters attacked them and found a safe base after helping them.

You should avoid sitting here.

should be ignored

“Dad!”

A boy appeared floating in the air.

The translucent one looks like a ghost-type monster, but strangely, he spoke Korean.

And whether his father was just a dead giant goblin, he held onto his face, now turning to dust, and wept.

“Dad! Dad, wake up. Dad!”

tuk.

The already dead goblin’s fingers gently stroke the child’s head.

He has no focus in his eyes, but he is still smiling.

Tears welled up from his smiling face.

And it disappeared into powder.

“Dad!”

The little ghost who sits still and cries,

But this is a battlefield.

There were those who wanted to take care of him, but no one could afford it.

Minsu stopped walking without knowing it.

And he struggled for a while.

Will you help or not?

It doesn’t matter if they wage a war like that.

However, the death of such a little boy, who had no determination or ability for war, was enough to make him conflict.

At least if it’s moved to a safe place… .

It was time to think like that.

Shak!

A relatively small snake, but large enough to swallow the child in one bite, approached the child.

But it seemed that those around him didn’t notice it.

He found only himself using the jeongan.

‘Damn it.’

fault!

Minsu found it and then ran away.

But he knew it was already too late.

The future of his death was clearly visible in Jeongan.

‘If I had run without thinking… .’

If so, would this future change?

Even though I regretted it, I walked quickly.

Due to the effect of the eye, the surroundings seem to move slowly.

But that doesn’t mean you’re faster.

His physical ability is on the level of A-class to Beomjae.

This is also about this level by raising the stats through invasion points in another world, but originally it was below average.

The reason he can face other A-grades is because he can use the Jung-eye skill to make accurate judgments and get the best efficiency, but in a situation like this, it was of no help.

Xeeng-

so regretful.

The future has changed.

Something black passed by at high speed.

and after a while.

Pubububububuk-

That black thing pierced the body of the huge snake without mercy.

The pierced black thorns fixed the snake’s body firmly to the ground, and then split again, creating hundreds or thousands of holes.

Green blood splattered without mercy.

And a black mass gathered in front of the child he was trying to save.

“Are you hurt, kid?”

“Hey, heck-”

tuk.

chuck-

Another scout hunter, Lee Jae-cheol, wrapped in a black lump, Slenn, stroked the little boy’s head.

“Who made you cry? Can you tell this cop?”

“Hey, me… the snakes….

The little ghost couldn’t speak properly because he was crying.

But Jae-cheol Lee smiled as if he knew it and nodded his head.

“Yeah. Okay. Is it because of those snakes?”

slurp-

His body was assimilated to the earth.

The ground was filled with an eerie black liquid.

and after a while.

Fu couple couple couple couple couple-

The black liquid on the ground transformed into black thorns and spawned a giant snake-type monster.

Something like a huge black pillar was enough to obscure all of his vision.

“It’s okay now. All the scary snakes were beaten by this uncle. So…”

“What are you doing?”

right!

Minsu stopped Lee Jae-cheol by beating him on the head when he tried to touch the kid.

Unlike the first time, his hand movements looked very insidious.

“Are you trying to walk an immoral path?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“No, I’m a police officer…”

“Is that what the police look like?”

“How about this?”

“Wipe your saliva over your mouth and speak.”

“Ouch. Oh my.”

Minsu looked at Lee Jae-cheol and sighed.

‘After all, if this person only wears Slenderman, his personality will change.’

I knew him because he went around the gates to keep in touch after the previous battle.

In addition to his personality becoming arrogant, he says that for some reason he likes children.

There is also a shorter thought.

It would have been better if he had just saved and ended this time, but he annihilated the snake-type monster.

It was so noisy.

Until now, he had pretended to remain neutral, but it was clear that he would completely hate the snake power.

“What did you do to save the child?”

“A gentleman would never stand by a child in danger. Leave the future to me.”

“…well, there are a few things I want to point out, but let’s move on.”

Because it is important to get out of this situation first.

“Would you mind removing those thorns first?”

“Why?”

“I’m trying to clean up the shit you packed up.”

Jae-cheol Lee scratched his head in embarrassment and moved as Min-soo said.

The black thorns glinted a little, then covered the piercing snake-type monster and absorbed it.

And even the black shadow that had fallen on the ground went back into his body.

‘… It’s gotten stronger.’

It was felt that Slender Man’s own magical power had grown stronger.

If he were to fight again now, he seemed unlikely to win.

However, his personality changed more bizarrely due to the influence.

It may be a side effect of continuing to wear it in the dungeon this time, though.

“Ah, you goofy uncle!”

When all the black thorns were removed, youkai monsters surrounded them.

The kid behind Minsu saw one of them and ran away.

“Saetani. You’re safe.”

He probably looked like an acquaintance.

What seems to be a fairly high position also held a child called Saetani and delivered it to the person who seemed to be a subordinate.

“Huh. I’ll go.”

Minsu stood in front of a monster called Gwitae.

Originally, it would be okay for Lee Jae-cheol to speak, but with Slenderman, he would not be able to demonstrate his original speaking skills.

Instead he had to go out on his own.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’

’cause he’s on his own

Minsu’s eyes shone even more blue.

I calculated how to flow in this best direction with my Jeongan and transferred it to my mouth.

“Aren’t you going to hire a pervert cop and a snake hunter?

Again, it was moved.
