MEMORIZE Chapter 553

00553 The beginning of the storm. ————————————————– ———————-=

– Please help me.

Voices calling for rescue repeatedly rang through the air. An extremely bizarre voice that shows no signs of elevation. All we could know was that it was coming from the front, but no one could pinpoint its exact location.

But at least users included in the vanguard could clearly hear the voice.

While everyone remained silent, the first user to come to his senses was Seon Yu-un.

“Who are you? Please identify yourself.”

– Are you by any chance the person who came to provide rescue services?

“We are not a rescue team. And, he asked me to reveal my identity.”

– I was confident against a monster. There is no way to move because everyone is injured.

“monster? Did I just say monster? “What does that mean?”

– Please help me. It hurts so much. Black, black, black… .

Even as they talked, Seon Yu-un felt goosebumps rising to her bones. The archer’s sensitive hearing was constantly ringing alarm bells. It was clear that what was heard was sobbing, but instead of looking very sad, the pitch was constant.

Maybe it’s not a person.

That was when Seon Yu-un thought so and turned the crossbow aimed at Go Oh-hwan forward.

“wait a minute. Why are you aiming the crossbow?”

A woman wearing an ivory priest’s robe hurriedly walked forward.

“go back.”

However, Seon Yu-un did not even look away. I just nod my head and stare straight ahead. Perhaps sensing something strange about Seon Yu-un’s behavior, the Mercenary Clan members at the forefront began to take out their weapons one by one. The woman who saw it had a stuffy look on her face.

“Hey. What are you doing now? A person is dying right now and I can’t rush to help them right away… .”

“hey. If you’re not going to help me, then shut up and get the hell out of there. “Because it bothers me.”

However, before the woman could finish speaking, a sharp voice cut her off. The woman turned her face as if she was shocked, but she was suddenly shocked. Before she knew it, Yujeong had drawn her two daggers and was glaring at her with a cool light.

“no. It’s definitely a human voice… .”

“Stupid bitch.”

“W-what?”

“Is magic detection in your form? “Don’t you know that you can’t feel anything in front of you right now?”

The woman frowned. It’s because I didn’t understand what Yujeong just said. Judging from the voice I hear, I should be able to sense something, but I can’t feel anything.

Isn’t it strange? Whether it’s a person or a monster, everyone has a presence, but you can’t catch it?

contradiction. Then there were two answers. One is that the distance does not reach. Or that a new monster has appeared that cannot be caught with ordinary senses.

– No. Those guys are coming again and again.

At that moment, a strange voice flowed in again. The pitch was still constant, but unlike before, the speaking speed was faster. As if trying to create an urgent situation.

– Run away quickly. The monsters searched this place and found it. Come on.

Now, instead of asking for help, they are actually telling us to run away.

Wasn’t it an attempt to trick you into getting involved?

A strange light flashed across the faces of the users of the vanguard unit. It was so bad that even Seon Yu-un frowned.

“You cowards!”

At that time, the woman seemed to have gained some kind of confidence from what she had just heard, and ran forward, exhaling venomously. Someone quickly grabbed her by the shoulder, but the woman instead strongly shook it off and cried out.

“Let go! Even if it were a monster, would it say something like that? “That’s a human voice!”

He then took out his staff and eventually escaped from the vanguard unit.

“Where exactly? “I’m going now!”

– This way. Go further and further forward.

As the woman looked around, the voice answered immediately. She soon guessed that she must be inside a lush bush. The woman nodded her head and accelerated her run.

Perhaps, if the woman had been a little smarter, she might have stopped walking the moment she heard the voice. But because she was not able to do so, the woman was forced to stop her steps, not voluntarily but by someone else’s will.

Whirling!

widely!

An ugly sound splitting the air. Soon, the woman’s body, which was running with all her might, suddenly stopped.

As her body stumbled due to inertia, the woman’s eyes naturally turned to her ankles. A dirty whip was wrapped tightly around both her ankles.

no. It wasn’t a whip. It looked like a tentacle, with sticky liquid and bumpy protrusions on the surface.

After a while, the woman’s eyes opened wide.

But it was already too late.

“ah?”

For a moment, the world the woman saw tilted sharply to the right.

Eventually, the moment her body completely tilted and touched the ground, the woman let out a belated scream and was dragged into the bush. And at a very fast speed. The woman’s companions cried out desperately, but she was already being sucked in, not only her legs but also her upper body.

“Save me!”

Both arms wave meaninglessly in the air. The woman’s body, which seemed as if she would soon be sucked in, suddenly stopped.

However, it is no different from the state where almost everything has already been done. All that could be seen out of the thick bushes were two slender arms. Both arms were still fluttering in the air as if seeking rescue.

and.

Wow!

“Aaaaaaaaaah!”

Suddenly, a crunching sound erupted, and a high-pitched scream echoed around the area.

It didn’t stop with just one time.

Wow! Wow!

“Caw! “It hurts!”

As the sound continued, the woman began waving her arms around and pounding the floor frantically. She was so desperate that even though she was her priest, the bushes on her land were torn apart.

But even for a moment.

Quadddddddddduk!

The sound of something loudly breaking. At the same time, the woman’s arm, which had been hitting her on the ground, became stiff, and she trembled and went limp. Soon, after hearing the sound of her slurping and inhaling liquid, even her woman’s arms slowly disappeared into the bushes.

All the users looked at the bushes on the left with blank faces. All of this passed in the blink of an eye. The time that had passed from the moment the woman grabbed her ankle to now was less than 10 seconds.

But it wasn’t over yet.

– Ahhh… . Ahhh… .

After a while, something unbelievable happened. The woman, who she thought must have been dead, rose from her bushes and lazily floated into the air.

The sight of such a woman was so miserable that I could not bear to open my eyes. Tentacles were wrapped around her neck, and her lower body was brutally crushed, as if it had been put in a blender. Her blood is dripping and flowing like a river.

-Dododowawawa… . Jejeplease dododowawawa… . Ahhh… .

Tears flowed from the woman’s eyes. Her face is contorted as she cries out for help, clutching her tentacles that are strangling her own neck.

But it’s strange. The expression on his face was extremely sad, as if he was truly hoping for rescue, but the voice was the same bizarre voice I heard before.

Seon Yu-un bit his mouth tightly. no. All users had similar thoughts.

An unknown monster. However, it is not clear exactly where it is.

Also, should I save that woman now? Should I not do it, etc.

In a situation where I had to face all of this for the first time, I suddenly became confused by the accident.

It was then.

Pop!

– Trying to survive… . Kekkeekkeek!

Suddenly, a sword spraying white light shot out, piercing the neck of the woman floating in the air. As a result, the woman’s body shook greatly from side to side as she continued her words with a croak, and she ended up lowering her head.

“Everyone prepare for battle!”

At the same time, a slightly angry voice roared at the vanguard unit. But it was also a familiar voice. Users who soon looked away could also see four or five users running from the bushes on the left.

Among them, a bright color appeared on Seon Yuun’s face when he saw the user running at the front.

“Clan Lord!”

It was Kim Soo-hyun. As soon as he got out of the Jinro barrier, he immediately grasped the situation and threw his sword without any hesitation.

Kim Soo-hyun, who immediately returned to the vanguard unit, reached for the sword still attached to his neck. Then, miraculously, the sword moved of its own accord, cutting off the woman’s neck and landing in Kim Soo-hyun’s hand. Blood pours out from the cut section.

“for a moment! Mercenary Road! “That woman is my sister!”

Someone shouted loudly, but Kim Soo-hyun didn’t care at all. Rather, he continued to shout in a voice full of his magical power.

“The location is in the bushes on the left. Distance ranges from 2 meters to 25 meters. Safe and secure, the enemy moves forward to the left to protect the flank. Wizards use earth magic, priests use shields. The archer is now… !”

“Merchionary Lord!”

Finally, the man couldn’t stand it anymore and rushed over. It was the man who held the woman’s shoulder for a moment. But without even looking, she grabbed her man’s chin and forced him to look to one side. The moment she looked into space, her man’s mouth fell open.

The woman who was thought to be dead suddenly raised her head and looked down. Although her blood was still pouring out, the woman’s face was serene. no. Even with her blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, she smiled. Like an animal with its prey in front of it.

“launch!”

In the first shot, dozens of arrows cut through the air.

The woman’s smile deepened. She then rose higher into the air and dodged all the arrows aimed at her. Moreover, she even walked away from that situation.

Kim Soo-hyun raised his sword as if he was going to throw it once more, but slowly lowered it back.

Soon the tentacles wrapped around the woman retreated further and soon hid inside the bushes.

And after a while, the bushes began to sway left and right.

The shaking soon became very rapid and disappeared far away in the opposite direction of the southern expedition.

*

In the end, the southern expedition team failed to climb the mountain they had targeted that day. Rather, we decided to retrace our steps and set up camp, even though it was a bit early. With the appearance of the monster they had finally encountered for the first time, the leadership went into an urgent meeting.

Nevertheless, Han So-young gave a special order to the expedition team.

The special order means nothing more than to significantly strengthen security starting today. There was a rumor that the person making the suggestion was Mercenary Lord.

In fact, it was natural to strengthen security once a monster appeared, but the problem was that it was a bit extreme. Moreover, since sleep has a significant impact on physical recovery, users were likely to be dissatisfied.

midnight.

The forest was filled with gloomy darkness, but the area around the campsite was brightly lit with burning lights.

“shit. “How on earth did this happen?”

A man sat down on a tree stump and grumbled. Then, one of the two men and women who were watching her in one direction glanced at her and turned her head.

“hey. When did you come? “Where have you been?”

“I came here to do some business. why.”

“crazy. Do you go to the bathroom for more than an hour? “I almost reported it!”

“Yes~. Yes~. I’m sorry~. “It was a big one~.”

When the woman spoke in a mock tone, the man grunted with an annoyed expression. The woman gently frowned at her face.

“Why is he like that again? “Why are you dissatisfied with everything?”

“Oh, that’s right. What are we doing now? “I can’t even sleep.”

“Is it because you can’t sleep?”

“It’s not because I can’t sleep, it’s because I feel like I’m doing something pointless. “Does it make sense to use one quarter of the troops at one time during alert time?”

The man continued to pour out his complaints. The woman shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t want to deal with him any more, then quietly crossed her arms around the arm of the other man standing next to her.

“I can’t help it. This is the situation. Anyway, since the situation is like this, I have no choice but to trust and wait. Wouldn’t the leaders come up with some good method? Right? babe?”

The woman asked as if asking for consent, but the man said nothing.

“babe? babe! what’s the matter?”

The woman continued to wave her arms. Then, her stiff man barely opened his mouth and whispered.

“… “Soyeon.”

“why? “Are you in a hurry too?”

“That’s not it… . Detect magic power.”

“Sense magic power?”

The man nodded his head slowly.

The woman felt very tense for a moment. Her man’s class is archer. This class is optimized for risk detection. Thinking that a monster might be attacking her, the woman immediately activated her magic sense.

But unexpectedly, I don’t feel anything. All I can feel are two signs. His own presence and the presence of the man standing next to him. Other than that, there is no sign of anything.

“why? There’s only you and me around… ?”

And that moment.

The woman’s eyes grew as big as a flower lantern.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

It is the emergence of a new monster. From the perspective of ordinary users, it is a monster that has its own tricky aspects. We put a lot of effort into setting it up. To give you a hint, it could be said to be the number of syllables the monster speaks. Well, it’s not that big of a hint. haha. Anyway, it’s not a corpse. Of course, it’s not a doppelganger. We plan to reveal the content gradually as we progress, so I think you will be able to find out soon. 🙂

P.S. I appreciated your comment yesterday. Let’s think about it.
