SSS-Class Suicide Hunter Chapter 62

Episode 62. < The Great War of Righteousness and Death. (1) >

————————

One.

I have never read a martial arts magazine.

Not only do I have no habit of reading books, but [martial arts] was already a declining genre in my generation. Sometimes old martial arts-style movies were posted on the Internet. However, because of the poor CG technology, it only becomes a laughingstock.

An era in which all seriousness was mocked.

The space for Wu and Hyeop to stand was cramped.

A genre that has declined.

A world in decline.

It was snowing there.

“cold!”

We, the expedition team without any dreams or hopes, safely entered the world of the Apocalypse. What greeted our group was a vast snowy field. When the snow was stepped on by the shoes, it made a cute crunching sound.

But the cold that hit us was anything but cute.

“every!”

I quickly shouted.

“Raise your Aura to protect yourself!”

Severe winter cold.

Even if I stayed still, my toes were frozen. As soon as it heard my shout, the viper immediately raised its aura. However, non-combatants, apothecaries and medicine kings could not do that.

“I, I, I… Because I couldn’t learn Auror… .”

“Etch! Ah, chwiik! Oh my, the old man is dying! “I’m going to die from the cold!”

Just 20 seconds after falling into the world of the apocalypse. The two people’s complexions had already turned to death. Well, I did everything I could to learn Auror. How can support hunters know how to use aurors?

“Tsk.”

I reacted quickly.

“Cheonmumunju! Please take care of the Medicine King!”

“OK.”

The poisonous snake carried the Medicine King. Whether he was the emperor of the light novel or the man who lived and died as Gao, Viper was definitely the highest ranked martial arts hunter.

The purple aura he created immediately surrounded the Medicine King’s body.

“Oh my gosh. I guess I can live now… .”

The Medicine King sighed in relief. His facial expression became relaxed, like an old man who had just entered an open-air hot spring bath. I nodded, then took the pharmacist’s hand.

“Boss, let’s go together with me.”

“Yes, yes?”

“Give me your hand.”

Aura flowed from my hand to the pharmacist’s hand. Red auror. The auror, which has not yet been revealed whether it symbolizes fire or blood, wrapped the pharmacist’s body warmly.

“ah.”

The pharmacist bowed his head.

“Okay, thank you. Death King. But, this thing tickles a little… .”

“I know you’re embarrassed. I’m embarrassed too. But now is not the time to dwell on shame.”

I looked around. A snowstorm as thick as water fog. The temperature issue was resolved as quickly as possible, but that was all. I was at a loss as to where I was and where I should go.

“The library director easily used words such as constellation, [work], and [year-round]. But this is truly one world. It’s not like an ordinary book. We are here to save the world. “You know, right?”

“…….”

The pharmacist raised his eyes.

“… yes. It was like that. I guess I thought it was a little easy. “I will try hard.”

“Each person just needs to focus on their role. For now, I will protect you as an Auror, but when the infectious disease needs to be cured, the boss and the Medicine King will need to come forward. Please.”

“yes. “Death King.”

Gooooo-.

A blizzard passed by my earlobe. We narrowed our eyes and tried to somehow make out the surrounding geography. I remembered the last sentence of the Annals of the Heavenly Demon.

“Suddenly, a strange illness occurred and the Heavenly Demon died.”

“Soon, everyone else died too.”

Concise sentences.

That sentence, which was less than 50 characters long, did not include the phrase ‘biting cold’, nor did it include ‘the snow that went from soaking my ankles to reaching my calves and knees’. It just says that the world has been destroyed.

From now on we had to find out.

What happened that caused the person named ‘Cheonma’ to die?

What exactly is the ‘strange disease’ that has driven humanity to extinction in this world?

“oh.”

Kuuk.

The chemist squeezed my right hand a little harder. She pointed to the other side of the blizzard.

“Look over there, Death King! “I think I just saw people!”

We all looked in the direction the chemist pointed.

She was right. It was hard to see her because her snow was so thick… A person’s shadow appeared beyond the wind. The shadows were countless. Not one or two people, but dozens. Maybe there were more than a few hundred people.

A forest of human images.

“okay.”

I walked ahead.

“Let’s go over there first!”

The snow was flying. It wasn’t snow falling from the sky. The snow that had already fallen was blown by the wind. When the snowstorm covered us, people could only be seen as shadows, so we walked close together so as not to become separated.

-It’s a zombie.

Bae Hu-ryeong said. Bae Hu-ryeong was examining the surroundings on behalf of my eyes.

-Something is a little strange. I can’t hear any sound from that direction.

‘Isn’t the sound blocked because of the snowstorm?’

-Things like that happen, too.

Bae Hu-ryeong looked at the forest of human beings with narrowed eyes.

-But it’s not just that you can’t hear the sound… They don’t move at all. Don’t even move. It looks like a stone statue, not a person?

Fortunately, the snowstorm soon subsided. As the snow stopped, visibility became easier. But the fortunate thing was that it ended there.

We were speechless for a moment when we saw the scene unfolding before our eyes.

“… what. these are?”

The poisonous snake let out white breath.

“Why are all the humans frozen?”

In the middle of a snowy field.

Hundreds of humans were frozen while standing.

2.

“… “He is a real human being.”

The Alchemist looked at the frozen human and said.

Wearing latex gloves, she used tongs to tear at pieces of flesh from the corpse.

“According to the [Vital Certificate] skill, it has already been 2 years and 3 months since he died. The cause of death was infection. “The analysis by [Moving Hospital] shows that the disease is not yet registered.”

“How strange!”

The Medicine King also took out his monocle and examined every nook and cranny of the frozen human. Just as martial arts hunters use skills to perform martial arts, they diagnosed frozen humans with support skills.

“The cause of death is all the same. It’s not a winter death. Since he died of illness, he should at least die lying on the ground… Aren’t these all standing? Huh, indeed. It’s like a ghost crying. When something like this happens in Silicon Valley… .”

“It’s highly likely that someone moved it here on purpose.”

The Alchemist cut the Medicine King’s words straight.

After hearing what I said earlier, the pharmacist’s expression became serious.

“Even though the cause of death is the same, the date of death is different. This person was 2 years ago. That person died 3 years ago. I can’t help but think that someone intentionally moved his body… .”

I narrowed my eyes.

“Could it be some kind of tomb?”

“Hmm.”

The viper stroked its chin.

“It’s a tomb. “From a distance, it looks like a terracotta army.”

The frozen humans all had different poses. A man spread his arms and looked up into the sky. Another man was frozen with his mouth open like an animal.

‘Portrait window.’

I looked at the nearest frozen human and chanted in my mind.

Letters slowly floated onto the pure white snow field.

‘…….”

The character window for people who have already died appears like this.

Perhaps the ‘light’ indicated in the psychological state is… I wonder if this person’s last thought was when he died. The body’s psychology was fixed like the words engraved on the tombstone.

The companions whispered as they faced the mystery.

“tomb… . “If this is a cemetery, why was it built this way?”

“Well, that’s fine. But these guys all have weapons on their waists.”

“Is there anywhere I can stay? It’s warm thanks to the aurors… .”

It was that moment.

“—Hahaha!”

Laughter was heard from afar. Our group reflexively lowered our bodies. The owner of the laughter must not have noticed us and shouted at someone.

“The world of magic ends today!”

“under. “A passing dog will overturn and laugh.”

The voice was not one. There were two.

“As long as the main body is intact, the world of the Demon Island is also healthy. Bu Wol-seon (洋銳仙). You are the one to bid farewell to the martial arts faction.”

The voices are loud and clear.

One was the voice of an old man, and the other was the voice of a young woman.

The old man shouted.

“gibberish! The head of the blood demon that the Demonic Cult had been proud of for four years had already been cut off by the blade of my axe. Even the rotten elder demon heads were cut off and sent to the nether world! There are only five hundred members of the martial arts group following me, so what kind of witchcraft are you using to stop this body?”

“after.”

The woman laughed slightly.

“The old monster’s tongue is really long. The blood demons only went out of the world for a while under secret orders from the throne. “They are not weak enough to be killed by people like you.”

I raised my finger and showed it to my companions.

‘Shh.’

The companions blinked.

‘Let’s approach quietly. okay?’

The companions nodded silently.

We quietly walked through the frozen human cemetery, the forest of corpses. The voices of two unknown people gradually became closer. Soon the two people appeared.

“Rather than worrying about your subordinates, worry about your subordinates first. “Wolseon.”

The woman was wearing a black uniform.

“Where have all the Sega equivalents you boasted about so much gone? “The old monster who was once revered as the leader of the martial arts has become ugly.”

“her!”

The old man was wearing a white suit.

“It’s none of my business. They followed my mission and quickly spread throughout the world!”

“That guy has a lot of secret names.”

“Isn’t it all because you’ve been needlessly troubling the world? Ugh! “If it weren’t for the idiotic Demonic World, the situation wouldn’t have become this strange!”

“If we are assholes, then who are you who handed over Murim to such assholes? “He is a sick person above other sick people, so he should be called a sick person.”

“Yes, you bitch, how dare you!?”

“If they tease you, attack them. “It’s an old man.”

A very low-level fight was taking place.

If you listen to what they say, the old man wearing plain clothes is a person from the right faction. And the woman in the black uniform seemed to be a member of the evil faction. An old man from the Jeong faction and a woman from the Sa faction pointed their weapons at each other.

“It is done. I can’t stand to see a madhu like you snarling anymore! “Cut your head in two and present one to the Jade Emperor, and offer the other to Yeomra!”

“Hehe. This throne was hoping for a life-or-death decision. Today, I will finally cut off the last of the political faction’s blood relatives and show that the world of magic is alive and well.”

Although the tone is frivolous, it is a typical martial arts duel.

Now, if only the two of them had unleashed their power and shared a spectacular sword fight, everything would have been perfect.

However, a serious problem was discovered.

-It’s a zombie.

Bae Hu-ryeong muttered helplessly.

-What are they doing with the tree branch? ?

okay.

The two powerful men, an old man and a woman, were holding wooden poles as thin as whips. That was the ‘weapon’ the two took out. The flashy weapons that usually appear in martial arts movies were nowhere to be found.

“…….”

“…….”

The two people also seemed embarrassed as they aimed wooden sticks at each other. We exchanged quizzical glances for a long time. A woman wearing a black uniform slowly opened her mouth.

“… … Buwol-seon. Okbu Wol, which you were so proud of, was buried somewhere, so she brought a piece of wood with her. Your only advantage was that you were able to swing your ax with gusto at the expense of the Namgung family… .”

“Si, it’s noisy!”

The old man’s face darkened.

“Four years! Why are you throwing away the fiery blood demon sword that you treated with love like your daughter and holding a whip like that?”

“Uh huh, cane.”

The woman slightly averted her gaze.

“You’re being harsh. Even though it looks like this, it is a wooden sword that I carved myself. “The essence of the Thousand-Year Magic Blade is contained in this wooden sword, and I personally bestowed the name of the Magic Blade on this weapon.”

“Are you just giving Macheon’s name to a single cane?”

“hmm. Shouldn’t that be… ?”

“…….”

“…….”

silence.

The old man spoke softly.

“Hmm. Anyway, Ma Cheonbaekdo is too much. “Why don’t we just use the name Pyeontae (輸答)?”

“Pyeontaemyeon doesn’t literally mean cane… .”

“Literally caning, caning just as you see it! “You stupid thing!”

The woman nodded sullenly.

“i get it. Since you say so, I think the name Mapyeontae will suffice for me as well.”

“That damn demon! Demon!”

The old man’s white beard trembled.

“Why are all the Black Island bastards so upset that they can’t add the letter Ma to their names!? In just four years, there are only four demons: blood demons, sword demons, ghost flame demons, and moonlight demons! Even the name they call them is Sima Lord (Four Demon Lords)! “Are you guys going to learn the first thousand characters before memorizing them?”

“hmm. Don’t you see that there is a sense of style…? ?”

“iced coffee! “I can’t believe the powerhouse was taken over by those idiots for a time!”

at that time.

Dark clouds ate the sun little by little. The snow-covered clouds were particularly thick, and thick dusk fell on the snowy field. In an instant, the world became as dark as early evening.

“Huh!?”

The old man flinched.

“Ma, Madhu. “Now is not the time to fight among ourselves!”

“…!”

The two martial arts people leaned against each other as if they had just had an argument. Cold sweat broke out on the woman’s forehead.

“Damn it. These days, the laws of heaven have been behaving as they please… .”

“You bitch! “Weren’t you confident that the weather would be sunny today?”

“Sometimes fortune telling is right and sometimes it is wrong. I only learned about the Demon Flame Demon’s fortune-telling by looking over his shoulder. “How can you see through heaven?”

“oh my! “I’d rather have a fortune teller from that street as my cult leader. I’m being seduced by this bitch’s words and misbehaving my lines!”

“Shut up and get ready to fight, old man. “I’m losing all the energy I already have.”

Our group was confused.

The pharmacist next to me whispered.

“W-Why is it like that all of a sudden…?” ?”

“well. I’m fine too… .”

It was the moment when I was about to answer that I didn’t know.

-Grrr.

Something stirred.

At first, I thought someone in our group had made the noise. But when I started hearing the sounds of something growling from the left, the right, the front, and the back, I knew I was completely wrong.

-Gooooo… .

-Kikigik, ugh.

-Grrr.

“Hi!?”

The pharmacist was startled and clung to my arm. Even through her glasses, I could see that her complexion had turned bluish.

The faces of the poisonous snake and the Medicine King were not much different. My expression is probably also unusually crumpled right now.

-Geeky profit!

-Wow, uh-uh-uh.

Frozen humans numbering one thousand in water.

Those that we consider nothing more than corpses… Move your limbs slowly.

-Ugh.

The eyes of the frozen corpse right nearby rolled back. The pupils were open and the eyebrows were almost missing. Worst of all, part of the eye’s pupil was gouged, as if it had been eaten by bugs. Nevertheless, the corpse glared directly at us.

“…….”

He and I made eye contact. As soon as I saw the corpse’s eyes, I realized.

“Mr. Lee… .”

An apocalyptic book called Annals of the Heavenly Demon.

The book clearly said:

+

[Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon]

Genre: Martial Arts, Fusion

Limited number of people: 2 to 4 people

※The series is currently discontinued.

Introduction: Moorim. A world of those who worship nothingness, use nothingness, and reach nothingness! Cheonma appeared here and attempted to unify the martial arts. A demonic religion united around the Heavenly Demon. The forces that oppose such demonic religions. They clash over the direction of the world… … I would have done it.

Unless a super epidemic suddenly breaks out.

Reason for the year: An unidentified infectious disease spreads throughout the world and Cheonma dies. The Demonic Cult is annihilated. Other forces also perish. end.

+

The corpses that I thought were frozen people slowly moved.

Although the movement was slow and slow, the sight of a moving corpse was terrifying in itself.

It was only later that I realized what the ‘unidentified strange disease’ was that had destroyed this world.

“Was the super epidemic a [zombie virus]?!”

As soon as I shouted, the corpse’s mouth opened.

-Oooooh!

The sun is covered by dark clouds.

A thousand zombies attacked us.
