Episode 284
284. Episode 284
It was different when I faced the Red Fish’s upper house in the parliament.
At that time, I could only feel a faint trace, but now it feels like the outerwear is right in front of me.
The stigmata were beating rapidly as if they had prey right in front of them.
‘But it seems like you’re still of sound mind?’
No matter how I looked at it, the five people pulling the cart seemed to be in their right minds.
It was a little suspicious that they weren’t talking to each other at all, but the fact that they were carrying out their missions means that they were maintaining their rationality.
However, in Seun’s memory, there was no one who was consumed by the outer and maintained their sanity.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, takes interest in them.
It didn’t seem like I would lose if I fought them though.
However, I was rather curious. How on earth is the outer power being controlled?
“Brother, if this continues, I might miss it… … .”
“let’s go.”
Se-Woon, who thought that there was enough distance, moved his body.
Park Jeong-pil also chased after Se-un in a hurry.
“Oh, are you waiting on purpose?”
“You told me. Those guys, they were on high alert.”
“But if it falls like this, wouldn’t it be possible to miss it? Those guys, somehow, didn’t even leave a wagon wheel mark.”
Sure enough, no trace of the guys had been left behind for some time.
It seems that in addition to those five, there is someone else who specializes in erasing traces.
“I don’t think I’ll lose in a battle of senses.”
“Oh oh!”
If it were before, I would have been half-believing, but not anymore. All of Seun’s senses have been developed to the next level after preying on monsters on Heukseom Island.
Even now, I could hear the faint sound of the cart wheels rolling on the floor, and I could feel the slight vibration of the wheels touching the floor.
Even though the distance was quite large, it was easy to follow the guys.
but.
‘As expected, there was more.’
There were additional people hiding along the guys’ path to monitor their movements. They were so clever that if it weren’t for Se-woon, he wouldn’t have noticed.
“You go back.”
“Yes? Is that really okay… … No, how could I do that!”
“Stop talking and go. It won’t help.”
“yes.”
Even if it was just Se-un, it would have been difficult to hide Park Jeong-pil as well.
Of course, it is possible if you put in the effort, but even if you take Park Jeong-pil that far, there is no telling what will happen afterward.
It was decided that it would be more convenient for Seun to act alone, whether to finish everything today or to retreat after seeing the situation.
– The movements of the Guiyingbo become more stealthy through internal energy.
Se-un’s body disappeared as if melting into the shadows.
Thanks to the stealth technique used by Kilker, no footsteps were heard, and even when he took a step, there was not even a slight vibration.
Even the smell was erased with the treasure of Mammon that he had used before, so the watchers would not be able to detect Seun’s presence.
For a moment I thought about just killing them and passing by.
‘Not now, I guess.’
I was worried that I might get caught stalking them if I prodded them without knowing what kind of reporting system they had in place.
Meanwhile.
‘hmm?’
After a short, thick tremor, the sound of the cart completely disappeared.
The presence of those who had been watching the surroundings with him also disappeared like smoke.
Even if you activate your senses and look around calmly, you won’t feel anything.
I missed it.
So… … it was natural that Park Jeong-pil failed to tail him.
but.
‘Are you telling me to look for it myself from now on?’
If you just give me directions up to here, it will be enough from the next time.
Se-un had the ‘Stone of Light’ that he had handed over to Red Fish.
* * *
Just before Seun came to Red Fish’s hidden base following the deal. That is, right after the council ended.
“Hmm, this is really delicious.”
Swish, swish.
Dark room.
A man shrouded in darkness was chopping food, making a clanging sound.
At first glance, it was clear that it was not an ordinary food, and its purple color was not hidden even in the deep darkness.
“With just the right amount of ammonia, and the eggs that came up just right. Yes, this is what it takes to be called ‘tasty.’”
As he raised his head in satisfaction, the face that had been hidden in the darkness was revealed.
Black eyes sparkled between a rotten and emaciated face, as if suffering from some kind of skin disease.
Something that was either saliva or food dripped from his mouth.
Then, the door hidden in the darkness of the dark room opened, and a man appeared.
It was the head of Red Fish who attended the Congress just recently.
“Meet the Master.”

The owner of the upper level, who can be called the master, bows his head deeply and shouts, “Master.”
The man accepts the greeting as if it were something very natural.
“I will report. This assembly… … .”
“Do as you wish. I don’t care about such trivial things.”
“all right.”
The upper chamberlain never raised his head. If the man had not waved his hand, he would have fallen to his knees right then and there.
As the chieftain was about to back away from the room, the man suddenly lowered his head and looked at the chieftain.
The pitch-black eyes without any whites sparkled clearly even in the darkness.
“for a moment.”
“……yes.”
“What’s that in your arms?”
At the man’s words, the attendant immediately took out the object in his arms.
Even though there was clearly no light in the room, the object shed a bright light like a light bulb.
The room, which had been pitch black, was instantly filled with colorful lights, and the man frowned and turned his head.
“I received this from a man who claimed to be the owner of a magic shop in the council. If you like it… … .”
“Clean it up.”
“All right.”
“This is a disgusting thing. Get out of here right now.”
“Let’s go in.”
Men hate light. However, even if they did hate it, it wasn’t to the extent that they would normally frown at it.
Why is that?
I don’t know why, but…
Wiggle-
Something was crawling violently and angrily on the man’s face, which was once again covered in darkness.
* * *
‘Is it underground?’
The location pointed to by the Gwanghwiseok was below.
I don’t know how it sunk into the ground, as I clearly didn’t feel any entrance or passageway around it.
However, if the Glowstone reacts, it means you are already pretty close to your destination.
I had come this far and had no intention of just turning back.
‘If there is no passage… … .’
Just make it.
– The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Ground tunnel ]
– As a life- and survival-oriented magic, it digs the ground or piles up dirt to create a huge passage.
Ground tunnel.
It was a magic that could be said to be an advanced version of the 1st circle magic ‘Dig’ that simply digs up dirt using the magic of the Yellow Tower.
As soon as Seun touched the ground with his hand, the magic immediately revealed its power.
Gugugugu!
The floor began to crack with a slight vibration.
Even if it were to create a passage, it would normally be a fairly rough magic, but Seun delicately controlled his mana to suppress the vibrations as much as possible.
As time passed, the passage became longer and longer.
5m, 10m, 20m.
The passage was growing larger than Seun had imagined.
Thud-thud-
‘It came out.’
I felt a faint vibration different from before at my fingertips. As soon as I confirmed it, I immediately threw myself into the passage.
As I went down the passage, I felt something unpleasant air enveloping my skin.
As I was going down, I placed my hand on the wall just in case to block the entrance, and soon after… … .
Bam.
Seun landed lightly on the floor like a cat.
As soon as I looked around and confirmed that there was no one there, I started to investigate… …but I tried to do so.
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, shakes its head, saying that it has no luck.
– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, looks at you with pity and nods silently.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ welcomes the food.
“shit…….”
The moment I turned my head to the left, I made eye contact with those walking down the hallway.
There were five guys who had dragged the Sea Serpent here.
The guys were momentarily confused, but soon their eyes flashed and they stretched their legs forward.
– The third technique of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Attack, is strengthened through internal energy.
– The power of martial arts is strengthened according to the secret of the ultimate deep attack.
Seun’s sword also flashed along with it.
Before his feet could even touch the ground, a red-tinged sword fell upon his neck.
Kaang!
‘… … Kaang?’
I was planning on beheading one and then swinging my sword at the next one naturally, but my plan went awry from the start.
The moon bounces off…? It seems impossible when you’re wearing decent armor.
Ssuk-
Only after the robe that had been cut off by the sword strike was removed did Seun realize why the Durandal had bounced off.
It wasn’t armor.
‘Crustacean?’
Starting from the shoulder to the neck, there were strange shells embedded in various parts.
That was the thing that blocked Seun’s sword.
However, just as I was thinking that the shape of the shell looked somewhat familiar, the bastard began to counterattack.
“Ugh-”
Kuung!
The roughly swung fist collided with Seun’s sword.
The speed wasn’t that fast, so I was able to quickly turn the sword’s path and block it, but unlike its shaky spirit, it had tremendous power.
It was enough to push back Se-un’s body, which was already far beyond the level of a 40-floor player based on his abilities alone.
Boom, boom!
The other four also started attacking.
Fortunately, it wasn’t that fast, and it was just a random swing without any technique, so I was able to dodge it easily.
Besides, it seemed like he couldn’t even scream properly, so it seemed like he could be dealt with without being caught if he just handled it well.
‘The shell looks hard, but it doesn’t matter if they’re placed sparsely like that.’
The shell was embedded starting from the right shoulder and reaching the neck. Other than that, the body was no different from that of a normal person.
Of course, he was too big to be called ordinary, and his muscles were so bulging that they looked like they would burst at any moment.
– Through internal energy, the Taishan Eighteen Half Sword’s Jeo-o first form and Taishan Two-Party are strengthened.
– The power of martial arts is strengthened according to the secret of the ultimate deep attack.
Se-Woon swung his sword horizontally while holding the handle tightly with both hands.
A weighty momentum that seems like it could even split a huge mountain in two.
The bastard, who had no intention of avoiding it in the first place, was approaching with both hands outstretched, but his waist was split in two with a ‘scrunch!’ sound.
‘This is what he did.’
It seemed like it would be no problem to deal with the other guys as long as you figured out the location of their shells.
No matter how strong their power was, there were people who couldn’t use it.
It seems like he lost his senses after undergoing a biological experiment.
First, I was trying to tear off all of their robes to find out the location of their shells.
“Euuuuuu-!”
The man lying on the floor with his body split in two let out a low, ominous scream.
The other men who had been standing in front of Seun with him also let out low moans and tore off their robes.
However, Se-Woon’s gaze was not directed at the men taking off their robes, but at the men lying on the floor.
A cross-section of the waist, neatly cut. Looking towards the black parasite-like things writhing between them.
Only then did Se-Woon realize the identity of the shell, which he had been unable to recall due to his concentration on the battle.
‘meteor.’
Looking closely, I saw that there were meteorite fragments embedded all over his body, in addition to his shoulders.
And those things wriggling around on your waist.
Although they were small in size and quantity, they were definitely… … ‘outerwear.’
