Huge Bone (1)
and.
It started rising from the ground.
Cuguaguaguagua-
As the ground collapsed, the entire catacombs began to shake with a huge shock.
“It collapses! Run fast!”
Sang-woo and his party were already running when the clones fled.
Kugoogugung-
Because of the earthquake, the passageway collapsed and began to be buried.
Even though it was on the first basement floor of the catacombs, it was quite deep, so if you made a mistake, you could be buried alive.
And all the aisles in front of the party were also blocked.
“Kyaaaaaa-! Get blocked!”
“Break it!”
“I can’t be so ignorant!”
“shit!”
Bae Cheol-min moved in an urgent situation.
His trademark body slam struck a weakly buried spot.
Quaang!
A pile of dirt broke open and a path was opened.
“This way!”
Following Cheol-Min Bae’s lead, everyone ran down the aisle.
“Faster! Give Sun-ah a buff!”
“madam! Mass Haste!”
Kim Sun-ah’s buff continued so that she could run faster.
The speed of the party accelerating.
But was it a bit difficult to use magic skills while running?
Kim Seon-ah stumbled and fell momentarily, probably overdoing it.
“Ah!”
Seeing that, Sang-woo stopped.
It was difficult to stop because of inertia.
A group of people who stop together at the same time.
“Go first! I’ll take you! Come on!”
But Sang-woo sent it first.
I quickly approached Kim Seon-ah and checked it out, and it looked like she had a broken leg.
“Get up!”
Perhaps because of the urgent situation, Kim Sun-ah was quickly carried by Sang-woo without showing any hesitation.
Holding Kim Sun-ah’s thigh tightly between her sides, Sang-woo started running again.
“Hold tight!”
As the energy of the black orb entered Sangwoo’s body, his stats increased by 6.66.
Maybe it was because the average ability reached 18?
Kim Sun-ah’s weight was not a burden at all.
But the power of nature was great.
The speed at which the passage collapsed due to the earthquake far exceeded the speed of Sang-woo, who ran like a cheetah.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
I feel the aisle collapse right behind me.
Perhaps Kim Sun-ah felt the same way, and she hugged Sang-woo even more tightly.
Sang-woo felt the fear in Sun-ah Kim’s trembling body.
In the meantime, the video studio is following Sang-woo and Kim Sun-ah while floating.
‘Just a little more… I can’t die here! faster!’
Sang-woo exerted himself.
There was no time to worry about the clones.
A situation where your life is at stake.
It was different from the feeling I felt during a city-level disaster.
If it was despair then, now the desire to survive has boiled over.
‘I can live! I will live!’
Familiar skills ended a long time ago.
I focused all my mental energy on running.
“Yaaaaaa!”
Sang-woo runs with a spirited spirit.
That was the starting point.
[A spirit skill has been created.]
A newly created skill.
At the same time, I felt a surge of strength that I hadn’t had before.
a little stronger!
a little faster!
‘I can live!’
Tadadadadada-!
The power to kick the ground has also been strengthened.
Every time Sang-woo took a step, the floor caved in little by little.
The stride length exceeded 4m 5m 6m.
Now, with every step, it almost flew.
[The level of the running skill has risen.]
[The level of the rushing skill has risen.]
[The quickness has increased by 0.001.]
[The mental power has increased by 0.001.]
After a while, the invisible group came into view.
“I see you!”
Kim Seon-ah shouted when she opened her eyes after closing them tightly.
Sang-woo also exerted more strength.
Then, as if they had finally reached the entrance to the catacombs, they stopped in the clearing and quickly jumped up one by one.
“I’m here!”
The moment Sang-woo and Kim Sun-ah also try to reach that point.
Kwagwagwagwang-!
A huge amount of earth and sand rushed in from behind and hit Sang-woo and Kim Sun-ah.
“Kuuk…….”
The pile of dirt completely crushed them.
* * *
“We were abandoned.”
Saint-Denis, an abandoned city after the cataclysm.
It was hell.
The place where there is no government is infested with monsters and old criminals.
It was a lawless zone, an extreme survival stage where surviving a day was a struggle.
“We catch and eat rats…”
Most of the food has already fallen into the hands of criminals.
I already ate all the pets I saw.
Later, they ate bugs.
Then, when he was about to starve to death, he took meat from the dead monster corpse and ate it.
It was better than dying of hunger, even if I had to die of stomach pain and diarrhea.
Survivors are beginning to adapt to the poison.
“I lived by drinking urine.”
The blood of the highly toxic monsters was poison.
I filtered my urine and drank it.
Rainy days were a blessing.
“…it was thanks to the catacombs that I was able to survive even like that.”
Underground labyrinth catacombs where even monsters wander the way.
Most of the survivors of Saint-Denis tried to survive by moving back and forth between the catacombs and the ground.
“And… I finally got my strength.”
Then I woke up.
power to survive.
tearing up monsters
The power to strike and kill the criminals who harassed them.
Dirty rulers who ran away, abandoning the survivors and ignoring them.
The power to beat them.
“I got strength too.”
Among those Awakeners, there was a special being.
The man you’re talking to right now.
It was Maze Maker.
No one knew what his real name was or how old he was.
It’s just that it has a strange ability to move the ground.
And other than being the actual ruler of Saint-Denis and the Catacombs.
“I am insignificant, but I… I rallied the survivors.”
If no one wants to do it, I will.
I will protect Saint-Denis.
He gathered the survivors like that.
He drove the monsters to one place by going around the catacombs with the power to move the ground and hitting the walls all over the aisles.
And in the clean empty room where the monsters escaped, a living area was created for the survivors to live in.
It was a perfect hiding place without monsters.
Because of the monsters, it was the best fortress that even criminals could not dare to enter.
People praised him.
“You are… the savior.”
He too was very happy to be of help.
And he wondered if it was his destiny as a savior to save people that he had acquired this ability.
Initially.
But that was his mistake and his biggest mistake.
As usual, with a sense of mission, he expanded the space even harder, drove out the monsters, and returned after obtaining daily necessities from outside.
However, the returned residential area was gone mad.
“help me!”
“Please let me go! Aaaaagh!”
“Mazemaker! This fuck is a baby! Save me!”
How did he get in? The living quarters were full of monsters.
To make the hideout completely safe, there were no passages leading to the outside of the hideout.
Only Mazemaker himself could create a passage on the fly with the power to move the ground.
In the end, people were hunted by monsters in the closed space created by Maze Maker.
A hideout where everyone has died and only monsters remain.
Perhaps because of the power of the catacombs, the dead were resurrected as undead.
I don’t know if I can call it alive.
“I… I will take responsibility for everything.”
He blamed himself for turning the survivors into undead.
Afterwards, he started moving again to apologize to the survivors.
But the look was strange.
For those who had already turned into the undead, they started throwing the hunters who permeated into the catacombs into the undead group.
He started supplying ‘feed’ to the undead group.
The weak hunters were directly connected to the undead group.
The strong hunters went back and forth through the maze, weakened their strength, and then threw them as rice.
“… I’m responsible for everything. I am responsible. I am responsible. I am responsible. I am responsible. I am responsible. I am responsible. I am responsible. I am responsible. I’m responsible…. cluck cluck cluck. I’m in charge! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!”
he went mad
Why do hunters constantly go missing in the catacombs?
One of the reasons was because of Mazemaker.
And this time he found a tasty prey.
Middle-aged handsome men and hunters with strong energy.
It was the Napoleonic Guild led by François Chateaubriand.
“The highest quality food has arrived.”
Mazemaker was watching everything through the camera installed at the entrance to the catacombs portal.
Having identified his prey, he dug a trap in his own way.
It was the beginning of his own cooking.
The weak Hunter turned round and round and ate away his stamina, then drove him into the undead room where the survivors gathered.
And the strong hunter had to be sent to a contaminated area that even he could not access.
If you open the passage again to the tired or dying hunters in the contaminated area, they rushed into it without knowing that there was a group of undead.
Of course, most of the hunters just let it go.
‘That way, the rumors won’t spread and the prey will come. cluck cluck.’
It was only occasionally hunting.
very occasionally
Chateaubriand and his Napoleon guild were unlucky enough to be stamped out by the Mazemaker.
The Mazemaker’s hunt seemed to succeed this time as well.
Until there are abnormal signs in the contaminated area.
Kwagwagwagwang-!
In the collapsing labyrinth, Mazemaker raised both hands without moving.
With all their might, they were blocking the power of the earthquake heading towards the residential area where the survivors or the undead were gathered.
“… Whoops! I… I’m responsible…!”
The land rushed like a flood, but Mazemaker’s power prevented the tidal wave of earth and sand.
The pile of dirt hardened like a wall in front of the major makers.
The wall could not withstand the pressure of the silt and collapsed.
Mazemaker endured again, solidifying the collapsed pile of dirt into a wall.
“I’m in charge! Aaaaaagh-! I’m in charge…”
And then.
As he screamed, a huge pillar rose from the floor and hit him.
Kwakwagwagwang!
The Mazemaker gets caught up in pillars and silt and is torn apart without a trace.
It was a futile end.
And the pillar that finished him off rose to the ground.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-!
Pillar.
It wasn’t a pillar.
It was a human finger bone that was divided into several nodes in a dark blue color.
But the size is just too big.
A bony finger pierced the ground completely.
The hand bones and arm bones were visible behind the fingers.
And past the shoulder blade, the collarbone was exposed.
Pitter-pattering mounds of earth pour down from the bones rising to the ground.
And its head rose, with a multi-jointed cervical vertebrae.
Two red eyes.
Two open nostrils.
Sharp, well-set teeth.
It was a huge ‘skeleton’.
It was as if a small skeleton had been enlarged dozens or hundreds of times in size.
After taking out his head and left arm, he began to bring the rest of his body to the ground as well.
Kwagwagwagwagwang-!
The whole catacombs were shattered when the body of the one who was locked in the ground rose up.
The strange barrier covering the catacombs was also shattered by that power.
And
[Kuwaaa Ah Ah-!!!]
The guy who finally came up to the ground was roared.
Even though there were no vocal cords, the air vibrated due to magical energy and grotesque noises echoed everywhere.
The pressure shattered the remaining glass of the building.
Colossal size, reaching a height of hundreds of meters.
Even the apartments were only ankle-high.
As soon as he stood up, he took a step.
Kwagwagwagwagwang-!!!
Buildings were shattered as easily as tofu being crushed by huge feet of blue-black bones.
The lateral floor of such a huge bony giant.
Compared to the bones, small people like dust were huddled together.
“My God…”
“Is that… a monster?”
They were members of the Goguryeo Guild and the Yolo Guild.
While they were stomping in front of the portal to save Sang-woo and Kim Sun-ah, who were buried, they were excited to see the portal suddenly disappear and were digging the ground.
But what?
A huge bone suddenly rises from the ground.
“S-class monster…”
“You have to run away…”
someone muttered.
Even Han Mi-ho, an A-class hunter and leader of the Yolo Guild, was staring at the huge bone giant with a hard complexion.
then it fell to the floor.
“What!”
“Come out again?”
“Back off!”
Seeing the already huge bone giant rising from the ground, they backed away in amazement.
By the time you try to run away
Two figures and round shadows rose from the floor.
“Puha-!”
“Live!”
They were Sang-woo, Kim Sun-ah, and the video studio.
Even though they were buried underground, they dug the ground without giving in and managed to climb up.
The guild members, who were surprised to see them say that they were surprised to see the lid of the pot, were surprised to see them grow up and approached them with a smile.
“Sona! Are you alive?”
“I’m glad Sang-woo.”
It’s been a while since I’ve been happy.
The city began to shake like an earthquake at the movement of the great bone giant.
It was only then that Sang-woo was greatly surprised to discover the bone giant that was blocking the sky.
“What is that?”
“… I do not know. It came up from the catacombs, but it looks like an S-class monster. I guess I’ll have to run away.”
“A S-class monster?”
S-class monster.
An immeasurable monster capable of destroying a city or country by itself.
Who the hell is going to deal with such a gigantic monster?
‘Absolutely impossible unless you’re an S-class Hunter.’
No matter how much money hunters hunt monsters, that was outside the range of hunting.
Moreover, Sang-woo has already been reverse-summoned by Gluttony and many others.
“Did you call for help?”
“It’s been a long time already!”
“Chief, then let’s jump! Let’s go!”
In the end, Sang-woo and his party quickly ran away without a chance to rest.
It was to get as far away from the bone giant as possible.
and above them.
A man was floating in the sky.
No, it was repeating to disappear and reappear in the sky.
Ping- Ping- Ping-
“As expected. Finally, Titan.”
A man in a skimpy suit, arms crossed, overlooking a Titan skeleton and the city of Paris from a distance.
He is George Lucas.
It was the S-class hunter ‘Jumper’.
