< Book of the Dead (1) >
Looking at the superhuman fast movements, it looked like the Awoken, among them the Hunters.
Sang-woo knew that they were the special cases reported by the alter ego and immediately moved towards them.
Blame it –
Sang-woo is being shot like a bullet.
In an instant, they expanded in front of my eyes.
When Sang-woo got off the roof of a nearby building, he saw a group of people with helmets covering their faces and Arabs in ragged clothes.
And they were fighting fiercely as if they hadn’t noticed Sang-woo’s presence.
[Bone Spear]
[Corpse Explosion]
The ragged Arab, with his long, curly hair flying, was trying to distance himself from the crowd of battle helmets.
And a group of undead surrounded and protected the surroundings, and in addition to that, the skill was rampant, so the combat helmets were not easily able to catch the ragged Arab.
On the contrary, he was surrounded by a group of undead and was directed a few times in a dangerous situation.
Still, the man who seemed to be the leader of the battle helmet group was displaying a mysterious ability called a card, so the balance was maintained to some extent.
‘…no. It will collapse soon.’
The group of combat helmets seemed to be getting tired and their movements were slowing down.
On the other hand, the undead hordes continued to pop out from somewhere as if they didn’t know the end, and whenever the ragged Arab shook the book, they were summoned from the side.
‘By the way, is that card thrower Dan Villerian?’
Sang-woo is familiar with the card that destroys the undead.
That must be the skill of Dan Villerian, an S-class hunter.
‘Looks like that guy came to support too.’
He didn’t think much of it.
Since he’s an S-class hunter, he might have come to support Israel’s undead crisis.
‘Then he must be the culprit.’
The point of leading the undead.
And the fact that the S-class Hunter is pursuing.
Sang-woo realized that the culprit was the Arab.
‘good. I just need to catch him.’
Sang-woo finally got his target.
His eyes moved busily.
Battle helmets running through the city and the movements of ragged Arabs intertwined.
And as soon as the pattern became familiar to the eyes, Sang-woo’s body disappeared.
[Blink] Sang
-woo appeared through teleportation.
In front of him, the ragged Arab face zoomed in rapidly.
Sangwoo smiled and stretched his fist forward.
Just
before the fists collided, a pile of bones was formed in front of the man’s face, but Sang-woo’s fist shattered the bone shield and hit the man’s head directly.
bang!
Arabs bounced off like bullets at the tremendous impact.
The Arab’s body disappeared through the building.
“Oops…”
Did I get the power control wrong?
While Sang-woo scratched the back of his head, the chasing helmets wrapped around Sang-woo.
Boundary attitudes.
Sang-woo raised both hands.
“Whoa, calm down. I am on the same side.”
“…Avatar?”
After checking Sang-woo’s face, Dan Villerian, the leader of the combat helmet, murmured.
I’m an Avatar out of nowhere.
‘After the undead master, Jeong Sang-woo… It’s getting worse and worse.’
The opponent is a monstrous hunter who uses cloning techniques.
Sang-woo opened his mouth as Dan’s complexion was stained with tension.
“yes. Cardmaster Dan Villerian, right? Nice to meet you. long time no see.”
Sang-woo welcomed him, putting his tension to shame.
Sang-woo looked happy to see Dan, whom he had met during the Tronsa incident.
Dan nodded, dumbfounded by Sang-woo’s reaction.
Perhaps the other person did not know that he had come to attend an Illuminati event.
He quickly noticed and replied calmly.
“…long time no see. But how did you know it was me?”
“If you pretend, you pretend. I knew it when I saw the card. Anyway, shall we end the conversation later? The fist went right into him earlier, but just in case.”
As he spoke, Sang-woo reached out his hand without consent.
The energy of the wind rose from his hand and the mana of the Stormcore rose and cleared the dust of the perforated building.
Then, there, I saw Ramos, an Arab who was almost fused with the wall.
The head of the guy with his head down was sunken, and it was in a terrible state.
“Hmm… I think he’s dead…”
While Sang-woo is embarrassed by the suspect who died without intending to kill him.
“I need to check it out just in case.”
Another combat helmet beside Dan muttered and fired an energy rifle.
Pishun-
That energy rifle hit Ramos directly.
It was a confirmation kill.
but.
Pak!
The undead that suddenly appeared through the concrete ground were beaten to death instead.
In the midst of the undead’s flesh and bone fragments, Sang-woo confirmed that Ramos’s head, which had been embedded in the wall of the building, could be lifted in that fleeting moment.
A pair of eyes shining through the long, curly hair.
‘…it’s alive!’
To be alive even with a sunken head.
The floor vibrated without surprise.
Ku-goo-goo-goo-!
unusual sign.
Sang-woo and the Illuminati agents realized that Ramos was up to something.
The notice was quick and the action was immediate.
Dan threw a card and the battle helmets fired at each other.
Shu-shu-shu-!
Projectiles flying towards Ramos.
But it was Sang-woo who arrived the fastest.
[Blink]
Sang-woo appeared in the space and aimed at Ramos, who was pinned to the wall.
But when he appeared, Ramos had already disappeared.
‘Where did you go?’
Projectiles from Dan and his party were shooting at Sang-woo’s seat, so Sang-woo avoided his seat.
Then the projectiles smashed the building once again.
As the dust rose, Sang-woo was able to find the place where Ramos disappeared through the dust.
‘floor!’
The hole where the undead came out earlier.
Ramos appeared to have run into it.
Sang-woo jumped straight into the pit.
Tadadadak-
The cave was dark, but when I focused my eyes on mana, the darkness was nothing.
However, the cave was narrow to run into, but there was nothing rough for Sang-woo, who leaned his body almost to the ground and spurred on.
A few seconds to run while crushing all the undead popping up in between with one punch.
Sang-woo saw the back of Ramos flying ahead of him.
‘Got it, you bastard.’
Sangwoo stretched out his hand.
Fuhuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
Then flames gushed out, filling the cave.
It was the Nuclear Laser.
The nuclear energy that exploded in a narrow place pierced the cave in a straight line.
Even Sang-woo felt as if his body was being burned by the heat.
[Fire resistance increased by 0.001.]
[Fire resistance increased by 0.001.]
…….
A few seconds.
Sang-woo stopped using the Nuclear Laser because he thought that was all he had to do.
A panoramic view of the cave.
The ground, melted by the super-high heat, was tinged with reddish light like lava.
And an unidentified bone fragment lying in the middle of it.
The bone fragment wriggled while holding the dark book Ramos was holding in its arms.
“Crazy. Are you still not dead?”
Sang-woo approached Ramos with a tired expression on his face.
Since there were only bones left, it was normal to die, but the unknown, tattered Arab was wriggling with only charcoal-like bone fragments remaining, his whole body burned.
His skull rattled as he approached.
-…Who are you…
?
“me? it’s normal Who are you?”
– Jeong Sang-woo… It must have been your avatar…
“You know me?”
-…hehehe… Is there any Hunter who doesn’t know you… Anyway… Let me introduce myself… Yo… I am… Ramos…
” Ramos?”
I wanted to be famous, but it was the first name I had ever heard of.
“I hear you. Anyway, you crazy bastard. Why are you raising the undead? shit. Ugh.”
Sang-woo squatted down and slapped Ramos’ wriggling skull.
Then Ramos’ skull fell from his neck and tumbled to the floor.
I adjusted my strength, but it seemed to be too strong.
-…What is this… What are you doing… Avatar…
“What are you doing, man. I did some bad things, so I have to be right.”
-…hahahahaha…
Then Ramos laughed bitterly.
Sang-woo just looked at him, wondering why he was like this.
-…What is a bad thing?…
“What bullshit. You terrorized the undead and killed a lot of people. That’s bad.”
-Murder is a bad thing
.
And the eyes that had been shining in the snowballs on the skull darkened.
-If that’s the case… The history was written by war and blood… All human beings in this world would be sinners… According to your logic…
“…I see. Anyway, that’s the past.”
– It’s still ongoing… The war between monsters and humans…
Sang-woo became frustrated.
What is this guy trying to say?
“Anyway, are you right?”
-That’s right… Avatar…. If you kill one person, you’re a murderer… If you kill ten, a hundred, a thousand, you’re praised as a hero… Look at the rulers of this world… of a country… .. The rare murderers who pushed tens of thousands of people into the war… to be called great leaders…
“…Hmm. so.”
Sang-woo gradually fell for Ramos’ words.
-That’s why I… I just tried to be a hero… even if I killed one person, ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people. What’s wrong with that….
Nonsensical sophistry.
However, Sang-woo nodded his head as if his mind was getting more and more focused on this sophistry.
“I see…”
The skull’s eyes shone.
Now the boy’s words were clear and unwavering.
– And this is an era where powerless people like me can become heroes. Because there is a ‘system’.
“System….”
-The avatar. You too become a hero through the power of the system. Become the hero of this era by slaughtering hundreds and thousands of people! As a member of ‘Black Messiah’, you will become the true master of this era!
The skull’s eye light exploded.
At the same time, the guy must have saved up his strength, and the skeleton floated up and clung to his neck.
Sang-woo blankly watched the scene.
He squinted at the skull’s glare that seemed to pierce his eyes.
“No, no.”
Sangwoo’s palm cut through the air.
Crisp-
The palm hit Ramos’ skull directly and shattered it.
Bone dust scattered in the cave.
[Magic power increased by 0.001.]
[Magic power increased by 0.001.]
[Magic power increased by 0.001.]
…….
At the same time, Sang-woo’s body began to fill with enormous magical power and mana.
‘After using a strange technique, it’s really good, right?’
Sangwoo smiled.
Ramos, a strange guy who handles the undead.
The guy didn’t die even after becoming a skeleton, but rather cleverly tried to interfere with his mind through words at the last moment.
However, such mental interference did not work on Sang-woo.
because.
───────────────
[Overmind (Lv. 88)/Permanent]: It becomes the backbone of a mental group. transcends the limits of the mind.
……
-Mind Barrier: Protects and strengthens the mind.
……
───────────────
It was because of the ‘Mental Barrier’ sub-attribute of the Overmind skill.
Thanks to this trait that protects the mind, Sang-woo was able to avoid being caught by Ramos’ mind manipulation from the start.
But I was curious about what he was doing, so I matched the rhythm.
‘Anyway, it’s over.’
Sang-woo stretched out from his squatting body.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!”
With the 1st clone, wipe out the undead, and with the 1st clone, catch the undead master who was the culprit and collect mana.
‘It was salty.’
However, the word ‘Black Messiah’ that Ramos murmured at the end did bother me a bit.
Perhaps the guy named Ramos was a hunter who was active in Black Messiah.
‘It’s none of my business.’
He wasn’t a hero of justice, and he didn’t want to take the blame for fighting a dangerous group.
Besides, according to Oracle’s words, Black Messiah has a connection with Jumper George Lucas, doesn’t it?
‘Let’s not pretend.’
Sang-woo had already killed the big man named Ramos, but he didn’t know how great he was who actually led Black Messiah, so he just thought of not getting involved as much as possible.
While Sang-woo is contemplating how to deal with the site.
His eyes caught the black book between the bone fragments of Ramos.
“hmm?”
That must have been something Ramos had been carrying all along.
‘Oh, it’s an artifact. I’ll have to take care of it.’
A book that just doesn’t seem out of the ordinary.
Sang-woo, who had a desire to collect, reached out his hand right away.
A black book that moves through telekinesis and escapes between bone fragments.
Looking closer, he seemed to be fine despite being hit directly by the Nuclear Laser in the cave earlier.
‘that’s interesting.’
Sangwoo immediately reached for the book floating in the air.
And the moment his hand touches the book,
[You have acquired the Book of the Dead.]
