Episode 62
“this what-.”
It looked down as laughter echoed over the Lake of Forgetting.
It was near his chest.
A bizarre phenomenon in which one feels breathless, as if pierced by a siege javelin, and at the same time, the heart becomes heavy, and in the end, a sense of loss as if all of the bones and muscles have been ripped off.
puck-! Poo-! puck-! puck-! puck-!
“…!”
And it started with the phantom pain I felt just now, followed by this terrible and dizzying pain that radiates throughout the body.
For the first time in my life, I had no choice but to let out a moan that I hadn’t let out.
“Keu-ruk-.”
It was because of the small straw doll Damian was holding.
“ah. Performance is certain.”
Its torso staggered, and Damian stood up.
It was after the mutated Siren’s < Song of the Dead > was cut off.
Beginning with a long needle embedded in the chest, a straw doll with holes all over its limbs, and a mutated siren twisting and gushing through its body.
“I.”
Poo-!
“how much.”
puck-!
“Because of you.”
Fu-wook!
“I had a hard time!”
puck-!
And Damian took a step towards it standing on the other side of the lake of oblivion, vomiting his spirit as if he was crushing the straw doll he was holding in his hand, crushing the doll’s limbs with his stretched fingers.
[Witch doctor]
[Voodoo doll]
Among the skills he possessed, it was a skill with the most difficult activation conditions and one of the witch doctor’s most powerful skills, < Voodoo doll >.
“Oh, what are you? You spill all your blood.”
As it vomited blood under the white mask, Damian gasped.
In fact, there was no half-doubt.
The reason why Damian approached it using < Golden Flash > while entrusting the mutant siren to the new chick army.
The reason why he burned the < Flame Lizard Bracelet > despite predicting the skill < Song of the Dead > in the colony of already dead trees.
Although that was obviously a bet on the slightest hope of defeating them.
Even if his own attack doesn’t work against it, he arranges one of his secret skills, < Curse Doll >, in advance.
It could be said that it was because he was confident that the worst could be avoided.
It was the reason he was able to remain calm even after witnessing its tentacles.
The moment I intuitively sensed that < +9 Sashimi >, which boasts insane attack power, could not pierce its body.
Damian didn’t miss the torn pieces of rags flying in the air.
At the same time as avoiding the tentacles protruding from its body, Damian distanced himself from it, while holding a piece of rag in his hand and preparing to cast < Cursed Doll >.
“I don’t know what he did to his body— because this isn’t such a simple spell.”
“You guys.”
So Damian saw it standing in front of him a few meters away, and it wasn’t too difficult to guess that his victory had been won by sacrificing the < Flame Lizard Bracelet >.
If the magic of < Cursed Doll > hadn’t worked properly on it, it was because it couldn’t have been just staring at itself without being able to control even the mutant siren.
“You’d better not think about dying easily. I’ve tried it once, but it’s hard to kill right away… and I’m not that good-natured.”
Hee hee!
When it didn’t budge, the corners of Damian’s mouth shot up.
It was a creepy laugh.
The bloody red eyes glazed over as if they were struggling to suppress the pleasure welling up from within and would rush towards it at any moment.
“Where?”
“…!”
Poo-!
And just as its fingers were about to snap, Damien’s grasp crushed the straw doll’s arm and twisted its arm bone in a bizarre way.
“Are your ears blocked? Isn’t this such a simple sorcery?”
Shake it!
As long as it can’t escape from Damian’s < Cursed Doll > as Damian shakes the doll towards it.
There was almost nothing it could do.
“Shoot. See how solid it is.”
“Okay, master!”
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-!!
And towards it, the venomous stings of the new chick army poured down.

“This is…”
Geumhwa, who was standing on a rock, looked up.
It was a night when the branches of dead trees were so entangled that even the moonlight did not shine through.
It is certain that he followed someone and reached this place.
Gold Coin didn’t realize when the hell he couldn’t get out of here, but he could tell that quite a long time had passed.
– ah…! iced coffee…! ah…!
“The song…”
It was after the song that had been ringing in her ears stopped.
“What the hell… how long have you been there?”
Geumhwa lowered herself onto the rock and checked her condition.
It was as if he was possessed by something.
After following some traces and entering the colony of dead trees, Geumhwa had no doubts that he would be here.
Unlike blind pursuit, I didn’t think about looking at what kind of place this place was and what features it had.
It was also because there was no reaction from life.
Kunoichi, who has an excellent sense for feeling the emotions of living creatures, was a master of tracking, even grasping the reactions of living things in a radius of several tens of meters.
Because gold coins have been used to pursue the target they are chasing by using Kunoichi’s passive or to detect danger approaching them.
But…
“The same place… you kept hanging around?”
The gold coin is the result of retracing based on the traces of one’s own footsteps and surroundings.
He had to admit that he had been hovering around the same place for quite some time.
“How… no. why.”
No matter how much I was concentrating on chasing someone.
It was not convincing to herself that her name was Kunoichi, and she had wasted so much time making mistakes that even a novice wouldn’t make and missing her target.
‘labyrinth…? Or illusion…?’
“no. It can’t be.”
So, after examining whether there is any contradiction centering on herself, Geumhwa confirms that there is no < contradiction >, which is a universal characteristic of illusionism.
Using Kunoichi’s tracking technique < Ninbeop: Grass Bug >, he threw himself after the fireflies.
‘I feel it. His energy!’
To her, who was able to recover her body’s energy after the song that resonated in her ears disappeared.
It was not too difficult to detect that the ferocious and terrifying spirit he had encountered before at Summon Gate exploded explosively, albeit for a brief moment.
‘300 meters… 200 meters…’
“Shadow walk.”
Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
And the moment the gold coin casts < Shadow Step >, which contrasts with Mist Step, and moves between shadows in the forest at high speed.
– Beaaaaaaaaaaa!
– Shoot everyone!
Do-do-do-do-do-do-doo-!!
At the same time as the dainty sound resounding from the front, a ray of shadow flew in front of the golden coin’s eyes.
The long-awaited figure of a man was revealed along with a huge lake.
“…found.”
Fain!
A wild boar-headed man whose copper-colored musculature was glistening as he confronted something unknown under the feet of gold coins soaring several meters upward.
“hmm?”
It was Damian.
* * *
‘Danger!’
Wow!
Something fell on the moonlight and Damian quickly pulled back.
I was an intruder.
I couldn’t figure out what it was, but even I could barely detect it and evade the attack with a faint presence.
“What are you… What kind of X is this?”
Kaaaang!
And Damian saw the black figure sitting between it and himself rushing towards him as if shooting, pulling out the swords stuck in both waists.
Instinctively, I raised < +9 Sashimi > and did my best to block the attack of the black figure.
‘fast. And strong…!’
“Haaaaa!”
If you see that the series of attacks that come with a short spirit pushes you at an angle that is difficult to predict, you must be a skilled user of at least level 40 or higher.
It must have been a class with excellent efficiency enough to easily cover that proficiency.
“Is this bitch crazy!”
“…!”
Quaang!
Damien’s eyes flashed and kicked through the gap between the gold coins, and the gold coins crossed his arms and flew away.
It was as powerful as facing a knight or martial artist.
Of course, even at Summon Gate, he was so overwhelming that his class could not be inferred, and Damian had shown phenomenal combat power.
It was a moment so clear that I could directly feel how strong Demian was when I competed again like this.
It was a difference of rank.
And…
“Oh fuck. What are you, bitch?”
Crunchy! Dduduk!
Looking at Damian, who was stretching the muscles and bones of the whole body, spitting out curses as if he was in a bad mood at the distance that the gold coin had been separated for a while.
I tried to ignore the involuntary shrinking with a strong grip on the handle of the sword.
“I waited for today, you fucking bastard.”
“You don’t seem to know yet… what?”
“You will die by my hand today. miserably.”
In other words, regardless of Damian’s counter-questions, the gold coin was burning only one thought to raise the mana to the maximum and to slash the man in front of it.
“Ha… I’m really going to turn around.”
Damian violently brushed the back of his head as he watched the gold coin in front of him burn his fighting spirit.
There were no uninvited guests like this.
In the middle of the day, I was just about to proceed with true education by seizing the victory over the mutant siren.
A crazy woman appeared out of nowhere and was about to overturn the 9-cheop table, not even adding ashes to the cooked rice.
It was about to go crazy and jump.
[Notice: < ??? > recovers the fallen defense power!]
[Notice: < ??? > recovers HP quickly!]
Before you know it, the thing behind you is not affected by hundreds or thousands of poisonous needles. Gradually, the tentacles inside the ragpicker were wriggling and repairing the damage.
The crazy woman in front of me was raising both swords to eye level, saying that she would never let go of her.
“hey.”
“…”
“Because I’m very busy right now?”
“what?”
“When I say nice things, stay off. If you don’t want to search together.”
“What kind of crazy bastard is—”
“Fuck, I said it clearly. If you don’t want to search together, turn it off.”
flash!
And while Damian sharpens his eyes at the gold coin, as if he doesn’t even bother explaining, let’s raise his arm and point at his back.
“This X cub,,,,,,,, !!!”
Quaang!
Suddenly, with a furious rant, the gold coin flew toward Damian and swung his twin swords.
“Such a crazy bitch.”
It was a breakdown of negotiations.
