Relife Player 103
[Chapter 041]
[Lizard King (2)]
In Korea, there are seven clans that received a clan grade of S.
Each clan is sponsored by one of the top 10 groups in South Korea’s financial hierarchy, and each has one member of the Twelve.
Among the top clans in both name and reality, Zenith is sponsored by the Galaxy Group and Namgoong Sung-woon from < Shinchang >.
Following them, Changhae is Sirius Group and Shin Seo-young from < Shinpung >.
In Shilla, which received the third clan grade S+, the sponsorship of Dawn Group and < Thunder Emperor > Lee Do-jin.
Myeongwang is sponsored by Youngwon Group and < Florist > Yeonji Bang.
Regulus is sponsored by Alice Group and Park Hye-rim from < The Holy Mother >.
Tempest is sponsored by Fine Group and Shin Myung-hwan from < Railgun >.
Lastly, at the age of only 22, Blaze, who took the bottom seat of Clan grade S- with only overwhelming force, was sponsored by YH Group and Kang Hyeon-cheol of < Yeomma >.
It’s nothing.
Hyeoncheol brushed off the remaining flame on the back of his hand and muttered in a dull tone.
In the direction he brushed off his hand, there was nothing left but a pile of ashes from the fire.
A magic stone was left in the ashes.
Hyeoncheol looked around without paying attention to the magic stone.
One guy remained.
lizard children.
The 6th tier monster, Sharptail.
Monsters belonging to the Lizardman family were able to assimilate their skin to the surrounding colors like a chameleon.
The reason why people hadn’t discovered their existence until now was probably because of their camouflage ability.
However, he was not taken aback when he saw the hidden Sharptail.
All they know how to do is assimilate into their surroundings.
Like the Kraken that appeared on Seongsandaegyo Bridge a few years ago, his camouflage abilities weren’t outstanding.
I was able to determine its location just by deploying the sensor net.
hmm.
He pulled the bastard sword behind his left elbow.
Just by slightly twisting his waist, the trail of the sword drew a bow and slashed the attacking guy.
The stomach loosened.
Even when he saw a lizard bigger than himself, he didn’t panic and pressed his back on the ground.
Is it only this much?
He didn’t even say goodbye.
The scales of the sharp tail were shattered too vainly by the bastard sword.
I put my feet away.
I looked around.
The sound of metal clashing and something exploding reverberated through the densely growing bushes around the reservoir.
The battle in the Gwacheon Reservoir area is not yet over.
Huh true. How could these guys have been hiding all this time?
Hyeoncheol clicked his tongue when he sensed the presence of monsters all over the reservoir.
The situation was more serious than he thought.
Gwacheon Reservoir is not just a habitat for Sharptail, but has been transformed into a Sharptail dungeon.
If it was a real dungeon, monsters wouldn’t have come out of the dungeon, but it wasn’t a dungeon, so it was terrible to think of monsters leaving the reservoir area at all.
It would not end with the paralysis of Gwacheon City’s administrative functions.
…but it’s a little strange. Why didn’t these guys come out?
Monsters instinctively covet mana.
However, the gangs did not raid the city even though there were residents living nearby.
Rather, they have predated by kidnapping people as if they were trying to hide their identity.
Even monsters have intelligence.
Among the monsters belonging to the high ranks, there are some monsters that understand and follow human speech.
It was Gu Yeon-soo, the deputy commander of the military subjugation operation, who brought up the words.
A man with an eye patch covering his left eye and a sad smile.
He brushed off the blood-stained sword from the sharp tail and put it in the scabbard as he approached.
If it’s a monster that’s dominating a group like this, don’t you think it’ll stay like that?
If I were the ruler, I would say that humans are dangerous, so don’t show yourself recklessly.
Heng monster know how to genus. They are the ones who can’t use quadrupeds to covet mana. < Yeomma > That’s why I’m more scared. I beg your pardon?
Gu Yeon-soo put on a friendly smile as he looked at the players who were still fighting.
She opened her eyes, touched the tip of her hilt with her thumb, and opened her mouth as if thinking of something.
…Ten years ago, when I was a new player, a group of orcs appeared in Yongin City.
The players missed one in the process of subjugating the Orc horde.
It was a time when there was no cocoon, and the world was worse than now, so even if a monster escaped, it was just that.
If the orc pops up again, all I have to do is kill it.
But do you know what happened?
Gu Yeon-soo shrugged and laughed as if exaggerating.
With his eyes holding on to death, he only raised the corners of his mouth to help himself.
Orcs usually have strong survivability, but some of them have a desire to reproduce based on their strong survivability.
< Yeomma >. You’ve never seen a monster rape a human, have you?
He occupied Yongin City with Orcs conceived from humans.
Do you know what it was like when the clan I belonged to heard the news and was dispatched to Yongin City?
A group of orcs were herding humans like cattle in the middle of the street. I’ve seen men locked in cages, made to fight with each other, and made to crawl like dogs, breaking their legs so that they could never walk again.
It was then that I realized how brutal and vicious an intelligent monster can be.
Monsters are strong. Monsters with intelligence should not be ignored, especially if they are clustered monsters.
The cost of missing a dying orc that day cost countless lives and dignity.
Don’t underestimate the monsters. The moment you get distracted, you die.
The moment Hyeon-cheol met Gu Yeon-soo’s eyes, it seemed as if the situation he was talking about was unfolding in his head.
At the same time as the Twelve, he was also the Clan Lord of Clan Blaze.
However, he was not a player who was active in < Destruction at the End of the Century > or in the era before the fairy took office.
I’ve never experienced anything like the incident Gu Yeon-soo mentioned.
Damn these bastards.
yes i know
that you shouldn’t underestimate
He also knew that he was lacking in many things besides his skills.
That’s why he couldn’t be rude to Regulus Clanlord Gu Yeon-soo, who was much older than him.
He was still in a position to learn.
What are you both doing now? Is this the time for small talk?
The atmosphere got awkward.
Park Hye-rim, who had been treating injured players just in time, argued with the two.
He banged the stone pole and hit it. She grunted as she leaned her upper body with her hands on her waist.
Looks like I got too serious. I’ll apologize. … no.
Kang Hyeon-cheol accepted Gu Yeon-soo’s apology with an awkward attitude.
Gu Yeon-soo, groping for an eyepatch, spoke to Hye-rim.
Hyerim, is the colony subjugation over?
that’s right. Are you done with this?
The loud metallic sound had disappeared before I knew it.
Even when the detection net was deployed, the presence of the monster was not felt.
Most of the monsters nearby have been defeated. However, there are some that have escaped, so I’m chasing after them by forming a chase team. Pursuit… How much did you miss? You missed it on purpose.
The person who answered Gu Yeon-soo’s question was a man who jumped from a tall coniferous tree.
Do Wan-Jun, the Lord of Myungwang Clan, supplemented her explanation with a calm tone.
If it’s a group of monsters, they won’t run away recklessly even if the group disintegrates unless the boss monster dies.
Those of this size would have probably fled to their boss’ lair. okay. Then the den of these guys is now being investigated….
That was then.
Green leaves flew in front of my eyes.
There was no wind, but the wide leaves and long, pointed leaves fluttered like petals seen in early summer.
The green leaves danced across the sky without falling to the ground.
[—I found it.]
There was only one player in Korea who could use telephony through plants.
Those who nodded their heads and moved in the direction of the fluttering petals.
The dancing leaves guided me toward the reservoir where Mt. Cheonggye was in front.
The woman in a long skirt looked out at the reservoir without moving.
Around her, several players were exploring the area around the reservoir and dealing with the escaped Sharptail.
the lair?
Do Wan-jun asked.
About half of the people involved in the group subjugation operation were gathered near the reservoir.
hey. Eh?
< Florist > Bang Yeon-ji.
The place she pointed with her slender finger was the reservoir.
Hyeoncheol, his eyebrows furrowed, stared at the reservoir.
Nothing was visible.
also felt.
Sharptail fled into the reservoir.
Does it make sense to live under a reservoir?
Kang Hyeon-chul threw up in an absurd voice. I couldn’t even hear the sound of Park Hye-rim dissuading me from behind.
Bang Yeonji didn’t answer anything. All he could do was stare out at the reservoir.
Is it possible that the monster moved to another place through the reservoir? Not a single monster came out that jumped into the reservoir Clanlord.
So, then…
Do Wan-joon put his hand to his mouth and was deep in thought.
Django didn’t take long.
All he had to do was figure out if the monster’s lair was really under the reservoir.
reveal all the water Over there, Myungwang Clanlord. Exposing water without equipment…
Park Hye-rim. Stay still. can you do it your clanlord.
Gu Yeon-soo and Do Wan-jun-do.
He had no doubts about Yeonji Bang’s abilities.
The reason she was called < Florist > was simple.
grow up infinitely.
Because no one was better at controlling plants than she was.
The water hyacinth floating in the reservoir responded with a slight stir of the baton she had taken out of her bosom.
The water hyacinth began to absorb water at an incredible rate.
It wasn’t just the water hyacinth.
Plants in the reservoir sucked up water endlessly as for plants whose roots were in the vicinity.
The water hyacinth swelled to unbelievable size, like a balloon about to burst.
The water hyacinth, which had been absorbed to its limit, rose into the air, and when all the plants on the surface of the water floated up, the reservoir was almost bare.
Wow….
Park Hye-rim was speechless at the scene unfolding in front of her eyes.
She was also a supporter. As a person who occupied one of the 12 seats, he took pride in being the best supporter in Korea.
But she was still just a rookie.
There was no way he could not have known how great the magic Bang Yeon-ji implemented was.
And no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t realize the magic she showed.
It was a difference in talent.
she can never get over it.
What are you thinking hard about? ouch! what.
If Hyeon-cheol hadn’t fed chestnuts on his forehead, he would have been frustrated by the limits of his talent.
Her forehead reddened, her eyes straining and fighting back.
He looked down at her and snorted.
what are you envious of Still don’t know what your role is? …I know what my role is.
Hyuncheol was right.
She had no talent for using magic in this way.
Nevertheless, the reason she was selected as the Twelve Seated was because she had a good understanding of healing magic and enchantment magic.
Therefore, there could be two supporters in the twelfth seat.
I know.
good luck
Because you know me well?
Then don’t be discouraged. What are you dying to do? I didn’t die at all~
I know it’s a good time for you guys, but why don’t we fight later?
It was Gu Yeon-soo who stopped the two who started arguing.
He smirked with his eyes wide open and teased Hyerim, who was blushing.
Kang Hyeon-chul looked at the bottom of the reservoir through the shoulder of Bang Yeon-ji, who snorted and giggled at the same time.
pipe?
A large pipe was half buried in the floor.
The exterior had a hole large enough for a single sharptail to pass through.
…What are all these cases?
Hyunchul was dumbfounded.
Other players seemed to be the same.
But there was no doubt that the pipe was leading to their lair.
Do Wan-joon, who had overall command over the military subjugation operation, gave instructions to the players around him.
The Myeongwang Clan thoroughly searches the area and subdues the remnants. The Blaze Clan and the Regulus Clan organize available personnel and send them to their lair in sequence.
flame retardant paper. How long can you keep your magic ?
…up to 4 hours, assuming you have enough mana. I don’t think I can get out of here if I want to keep this magic.
I’ll attach a few players. You stay and guard the reservoir.
Action was immediate.
The Blaze Clan and the Regulus Clan decided to enter the Pipe Pipe with their respective elites.
Hyeoncheol Kang acted like he was excited.
He shouted that he would be the first to go in, and proceeded into the darkness without pretending to listen to Hyerim’s scolding as he came in after him. When
I
snapped my fingers, a small ember lit up the darkness.
…that’s dirty.
Hyerim Park looked at the filth on the hem of her skirt and frowned.
He could wash his clothes with magic, but he couldn’t blindly consume mana unless he knew where the pipe would end.
Reluctantly, she had to follow the leading players, enduring the soggy sensation of her skirt clinging to her legs.
Shh.
Among the players put into the lead, there was no one who could follow Gu Yeon-soo in detecting the presence.
Stopping the party, he glared at the other side of the darkness shimmering with embers.
The sound of splashing water was heard.
It was a sharptail.
Gu Yeonsu’s actions were swift. He ran out at the same time as kicking his sword, and stabbed the guy in the stomach with a knife.
It wasn’t enough.
Starting with him, the player holding the sword rushed in and cut off Sharptail’s limbs.
The guy’s scales were hard.
However, there was no reason why he couldn’t be killed just because his armor was hard.
You can’t wield a bastard sword in a confined space
.
I didn’t even have to wield it.
With just one snap of Hyeon-cheol’s finger, the knife embedded in the guy’s body sparked.
The heated blade scraped the skin beneath the scales, and undiminished, swaying flames engulfed him from the inside.
It seems right that it leads to the lair. Over there < Yamma >. Even if it’s not your knife, if you treat it with some respect, it won’t change.
There was no choice but to defeat the monster. You can’t underestimate monsters.
Like a child, Kang Hyeon-chul returned the words Gu Yeon-soo had brought up just a moment ago.
Gu Yeon-soo burst into laughter because he was dumbfounded.
He stopped laughing, put the sword back into the scabbard, and chased the walking party.
…Where are you? …Is it Seoul Land?
After that, several Sharptails appeared.
This time I didn’t let a single one escape.
The lair was found, so there was no need to reveal information to the enemy.
It was a time when I couldn’t tell how long I had walked.
Pipes led to an unknown sewage system.
When Hyerim detected the location with her smartphone, the location was determined to be Seoul Land.
Was it connected to an amusement park? So, the monsters are hiding in the amusement park now? You can’t deny that there is no possibility.
Seoul Land has been closed for over 30 years.
With traces of < Destruction at the End of the Century >, it was a landmark no one visits anymore.
It wouldn’t be strange if monsters had built their nests here.
Then where are the monsters?
There was no need to deploy a sensor network.
It was because there was an intermittent sound of dripping water mixed with a foreign sound.
The players exchanged glances. After leaving a mark on the wall for the next group to follow, they moved in the direction of the sound. It was the sound of knocking on
something
.
no.
It was close to the sound of something being beaten.
The interval between the sound echoes was similar, but the size was different for each one.
thump thump thump thump,
this time the sound of a thump.
Chuck, chuck, chuck,
and then it changed to the sound of lightly whipping a stick.
what…?
Each of the players doubted their eyes as they saw what was happening around the corner.
The 6th tier monster, Shaerp Tail.
The reason why the lizard-man-looking lizard was named Sharptail was because it converted its long tail into a blade.
Sharptail, on the other side of the corner, was intent on sharpening something by turning his long tail into a blade.
Words… Shh.
Gu Yeon-soo paid attention.
Park Hye-rim could not take her eyes off the sight.
Hyeoncheol Kang also opened his eyes wide and watched the monster’s actions.
The guy tapped a lump of blood that he couldn’t tell whether it was a cow or a pig with his tail, turned it over, struck it down, and finally chopped it up with a knife.
It wasn’t one.
All the monsters in that space were immersed in building it.
Ugh…
the smell was too strong.
It was only then that Park Hye-rim realized what the smell was wafting from beyond.
I retched.
…Fuck.
Hyeoncheol Kang spat out a curse.
There was nothing more to see.
The players rushed to the slaughterhouse without anyone saying anything first.
The flames
of the fire spread.
