Episode 187 [Second Clash – 5]

————————=

Lee Hyun-wook threw himself into the place of death.

Woowoowoo——

Black hands pulled his body into the deep swamp.

For the first few seconds, I felt suffocated, like I was suffocating, and then I saw a light in the distance, and the light expanded and engulfed Lee Hyun-wook’s body.

Ugh—

at that moment, I felt gravity take effect and my body fall to the floor.

He instinctively strengthened his body and landed lightly on the ground.

Chin—

“Huh? “What the hell!”

The first thing I heard was a woman’s embarrassed voice.

Lee Hyun-wook raised his head and looked straight ahead.

I saw a long window, and beyond it stood several people wearing white protective clothing.

“—Look over there! He’s here!”

“Damn, you really fell for it!”

They found Lee Hyeon-wook and moved urgently, showing signs of embarrassment. Beyond that, I could see a huge room with all kinds of equipment, but it looked more like a research facility than a temple of death.

However, the system message that appeared before Hyunwook Lee’s eyes proved that he had not taken the wrong path.

– caution! You have entered [Player Area: Temple of Death].

“Hurry and close the death trap before it goes any further!”

“That needs a little more time! ‘Alpha Mind’ is still carrying out his previous orders!”

“Why is there such a delay?”

“It seems like it’s overloaded—”

Such conversation came from the speakers on the ceiling, but soon turned off and became inaudible.

‘But this place…’

The place where Lee Hyun-wook was standing was a huge compartment… What should I say? It was like a place in a movie where test subjects are confined and secret experiments are conducted.

‘There are researchers watching behind that long window…’

And it was full of all kinds of bones.

It was also alive and moving….

Suddenly,

the bone of a huge crocodile rushed towards Lee Hyun-wook with its mouth open.

– Great Alligator Skeleton (LV: 81)

He held the skull of a high-ranking lich in his right hand and swung the Moglei with his left hand, completely sweeping away the skeletons surrounding him.

Although they were all fairly high-ranking undead, they were easily crushed like a sand castle the moment they touched the Moglei with the holy sword effect.

‘They probably summoned the undead here and sent them out whenever necessary.’

The death trap that served as the entrance was spread evenly across the ceiling, walls, and floor. A lot of black hands were sprouting from there and wriggling like sea anemones.

Soon, living armors began to pop out one by one from there, like paratroopers.

Crunch—clunk—

‘We have to get out of this compartment.’

In this space, weapons could have been installed to control the test subjects.

Lee Hyun-wook immediately fired his Moglei towards the long window in front.

Zeng— With a sound, the window and wall flew away, creating a large hole.

“I don’t know what they’re doing here either… but I’m destroying everything.”

Crunch—clunk—

at his command, the steel corps advanced and squeezed through the hole in the wall.

Stop them!”

“Ouch! “When are the bran guards coming?”

They seemed to be responding, but Living Armor and the Iron Golem were not something that could be easily stopped.

Bang— Bang—

Several explosions and gunshots were heard, followed by only screaming.

When Lee Hyun-wook went up to the laboratory, there were already dozens of corpses scattered all over the place, and the rest were scattered in all directions, opening doors and escaping.

The dragon soldiers chased after them with the agility of hunting dogs, and screams rang out again.

“Kwaaa—!”

“Please save me! “Knock—”

– Player (LV:31)

– Player (LV:45)

Lee Hyun-wook watched the scene all the time, but could not erase his doubts.

Even so, he didn’t relax because he knew he would be greeted by a sizable army of undead… Aren’t they just all weak players?

‘…What on earth are we doing here?’

Hum—hum—

It was a fairly large space with mechanical noises… Even at first glance, I could see that it was a high-level research facility, but it was filled with large, unidentifiable experimental equipment.

And on one side, a tank filled with green liquid was visible. There were all kinds of skeletons inside, and screens displaying their status were blinking busily.

‘One thing is certain: this is a place where undead are studied.’

And on one side, there was a facility that could be called a ‘control center.’

Dozens of monitors filled one wall… Most of the screens were showing the Giant Sanchae of Mt. Othris, where Lee Hyun-wook had just been.

‘Oh, you were watching and giving orders from here?’

Just by looking at it, you could tell what kind of place it was.

Then, where on earth is the necromancer?…

“—Ah?”

Among the numerous monitors, one in particular caught my eye.

[CAM 001]

Camera number 1 on the far left. It was showing a child in a fish tank. He

must have been in his mid-teens.

He was a white boy with a short build and a shaved head. He was floating in an unknown solution and had electrodes attached to his entire body.

And wires were also inserted into his head and spine… This was not a normal condition at all.

And Lee Hyun-wook felt a strange sense of alienation and rejection towards that guy

. The reason is… black energy was flowing out from the child’s body.

‘That… is the power of death.’

This could be known because Lee Hyun-wook was designated as the ‘Great Warrior of Light’ by Emilia Müller and developed a sense of a sort of paladin.

‘Where is that screen?’

Lee Hyun-wook looked around and soon discovered another ‘compartment’ where a large sphere-shaped device was installed. ‘

This is an adamant material.’

The inside was not visible, but the word ‘Alpha Mind’ was engraved on the surface, and CAM001 was written in small letters underneath.

Also, the smell of death was felt in the vagina.

Lee Hyun-wook was convinced.

‘As expected, the kid inside… ‘He’s a necromancer.’

…It was a shocking identity.

In fact, Lee Hyun-wook had never seen the necromancer’s face properly. He

first encountered him about five years later, and back then, he always wore a skull-shaped mask, revealing only his lower body. ‘That ‘s

why I couldn’t even read facial expressions, let alone age or gender.’

The only time such a guy really showed his emotions was when Choi Jeong-cheol reduced the Legion of Death to ashes in a semi-Armageddon, and that was the first and last time I saw him show his teeth as if he was displeased. Anyway, that made me question whether he was actually human, let alone what he looked like

. It was a mysterious being… but

given the circumstances, this teenage kid seemed to be the Necromancer, a cruel and absolute being.

‘Ha, this is outrageous…’

That terrifying being is now inside the capsule. He was just floating around and seemed to be unconscious.

‘And when I heard the researchers talking a little while ago, it seemed like they were giving orders to the alpha mind…’ That means the

necromancer was not moving of his own will. Does this mean that there is?

Lee Hyun-wook lifted the skull of the upper-level Lich he was holding in his right hand toward camera number 1.

“Is that person in here your owner?”

Then the guy clicked his chin and opened his mouth.

“Just—he tends to sleep all the time. If you try to harm my master…”

“What are you going to do? “All you have left is a pain in the ass.”

“Tick! “I will definitely tear you apart…”

It seemed like there would be no more productive conversation.

Kwaduk Lee Hyun-

wook ripped out the guy’s lower jaw.

Even though he was so helpless and looked like a lab rat, he praised him as his master. Looking at this, it seemed that if he was revived by the power of a necromancer, he would instinctively praise his master.

“Ha…”

Lee Hyun-wook smiled.

This situation was so absurd.

“If this happens… Necromancer Didn’t he actually decide on his own to become a villain?…”

Then why did it become like that?

Naturally, the main culprit who created this worst weapon in history was Gordon Price

. ‘It can be enforced.’

The guy was deceiving himself as an ‘analyst type’ player. That wasn’t entirely false, because he could read the information contained in objects. ‘

But that was only part of it.’

Later, after finding out that he was a villain, the Guardian collected various information and found out that his real ability was ‘telepathy’. Among them, he had a fraudulent ability called ‘mental manipulation’ or ‘mind control’

. Also….

‘So he brainwashed quite a few players to follow him.’

Of course, the guy’s mental manipulation did not work easily on high-level players, so the Guardian must have deceived

him through sheer deception. ‘Anyway, in the end… Necromancers were also raised by him from a young age to be biological weapons…’

Later, Since I had seen several scenes of the Necromancer directly entering the battlefield, I couldn’t see him as a complete victim, but in the current context, the kid seemed to be nothing more than a puppet. ‘Still… he is an entity that must be dealt with in order to keep the villains in check

. Things haven’t changed.’

Thong—

Lee Hyun-wook pulled out the sphere capsule containing the Necromancer with a single wave of his hand.

Then, he threw it behind his back and tied it with a chain.

‘First, we have to escape from here.’

Wham— Wham—

At that time, the ceiling turned red and a siren rang.

– 30 seconds before emergency incineration— 30 seconds before emergency incineration— All employees are requested to evacuate immediately. Once again….

Emergency incineration At first glance, it sounds like the building is self-destructing. Isn’t that a word that sounds like it’s going to happen?

It was as if they thought it was impossible to save the Necromancer and were trying to blow up the entire place.

But I couldn’t help but wonder a little that they were giving up so easily.

Even so, the Necromancer is supposed to be their final weapon…

‘…No, he won’t just give up, he must have an ulterior motive. Anyway, we need to escape quickly now.’

Lee Hyeon-wook threw the capsule containing the necromancer into the very narrow death trap that seemed to be about to close, and then re-entered the place.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhahahahahaha

the moment we returned to the giant fortress

.

An explosion occurred above his head.

“Pfft!”

Lee Hyun-wook was swept away by thick flames, flew dozens of meters, and ended up in the mud.

Beep—

Even though my entire body was in rigid form, my head was spinning and I could hear tinnitus, as if it was quite high-level magic.

– …Boss— Come on— Blood—

Damn— Someone’s voice came from Hyunwook Lee’s Mana Messenger.

It was unclear whether the Mana Messenger was broken or there was a problem with Lee Hyun-wook’s hearing.

After exhaling, he got up from the floor, sensing that there were beings rushing towards him.

And instinctively, he created metal in his right hand, shaped it sharply, and flew it towards the being that was about to attack him.

Kang!

The thing made a strange noise and rolled over.

But that wasn’t all.

‘Damn, it was everywhere.’

In a situation where his mind had not yet fully recovered, he could only feel that everything was filled with murderous intent.

Grrrr—

First, my sense of smell returned and I could see that the entire area was full of delicious-smelling animals.

He took a slow breath and tried to use his metal control to find Mowglai, who was somewhere off.

However, it seemed as if it was surrounded by a hazy fog, and even its metal control was not working properly.

‘Fuck you, you need to come to your senses.’

At that time, Lee Hyun-wook’s body was surrounded by the wind.

And a woman got down in front of him.

“What are these again? Ha— are you okay? It was really dangerous right now, right?”

That was Kim Se-hee.

As she surrounded the surroundings with blade-like wind, even unidentified beasts could not approach.

“Huh…”

Lee Hyun-wook felt his vision return to some extent and turned his head back and forth to see the necromancer. I rolled my eyes to find the capsule I was holding.

‘I’ll take that first.’

Sure enough, furry bipedal beasts were dragging it.

– Blood Road’s Werewolf (LV: 81)

‘As expected, that guy, Ricardo Oliveira, has come.’

Lee Hyun-wook stretched out his hand and sharply modified the chain that was wrapped around the capsule,

wrapped it around the necks of the beasts, and lifted them up into the sky.

Kang- Kang-

Where did those terrible beasts come from? They were all over the heavens and earth. There were hundreds of them. It seemed like it would be perfect.

If this was done to avoid the eyes of Lee Hyun-wook’s associates who would be surrounding the area, they must have been ambushing him nearby. ‘

Is this your intention to get the necromancer to be taken without notice?’

The plan was to precisely target the timing of Lee Hyun-wook’s return, launch such a powerful magic attack, and then release a bunch of werewolves to kill them. ‘

Yes, the surprise attack just now was a bit dangerous, but… that’s okay.’

But now villains are no match for Lee Hyun-wook.

‘I have surpassed even the villains who conquered the world in my past life.’

The second life of regression had the same effect as a cheat in this game. The

countless journeys he had dominated made him an overwhelming powerhouse.

‘In other words, he had reached a level where he could never lose.’

Now, no matter how much the villains rushed at him, he was confident that he would never be defeated in a head-on confrontation.

Lee Hyun-wook moved the Holy Sword effect to ‘Fail Note’.

He closed his eyes and scanned the area with his normalized senses again.

Then, he drew a single line in his head. A long line encircling this area… Using it as a rail, Palenote took off and—

pew—pew—pew—pew——

In just a few seconds, it cut a line through the temples of the werewolves that were growling around it.

They were also a type of undead, so with just one blow, their bodies shattered into ash and flew away.

“You fucking bastard, does this make sense now? “What kind of scam are you running?”

Lee Hyun-wook opened his eyes and turned his head in the direction from which the voice came.

A large Hispanic man was glaring at Lee Hyun-wook with his long fingernails hanging down.

– Player (LV: 104)

This was the villain Blood Lord, whom I had faced countless times in the past—Ricardo Oliveira.

But at that moment—

– (!) The main quest was updated.

– congratulations! You have reached the second branch of the main quest [#2: Killing the Dimension Shifter].

– caution! A past life’s ills—a second dimension shifter is about to appear. Kill him!

The unidentified main quest, which had been somewhat stagnant until now, had made progress.

[Main Quest]

– A second chance at life Duty Destiny….

1) Track down the ‘Black Gate’ that is open somewhere in this world.

2) Past life—Defeat the ‘dimensional shifter’ who will come from the first world. (1/3)

3) Encounter ‘■■■’ who knows the truth of this world.

‘Yes, the Blood Lord is the one who survived until the end. And since he was the one who was there where I died, I thought he would appear as a dimension shifter.’

At this, Ricardo Oliveira looked somewhat uncomfortable and took a step back.

“Uh…”

Then he started shaking, clutching his stomach and wincing.

“Wook—Wook—”

Lee Hyun-wook knew what was about to unfold.

‘Now he spits out something and a dimension shifter appears inside.’

Lee Hyun-wook pulled the Moglei and walked towards him.

Then, the creature hid his anger and held out his palm in embarrassment.

“Wait a minute… inside the cow…”

What usually attacks when transforming is There is a saying that it is a foul.

But it was foolish not to attack when the dimensional shifter was spitting out.

Lee Hyun-wook kicked the floor and lifted the Mowglai, and the thing staggered back, disgusted. He

somehow suppressed the anomaly and moved his body. I tried to move, but it didn’t seem to be easy.

“Fuck, wait a minute— wow—”

At that moment, the bastard’s mouth opened and something went down his throat.

“Ugh——”

Tch——

Lee Hyun-wook was aiming for that moment and swung his moglai. And the tip of the sword slit the guy’s neck.

The guy’s head separated and spun around in the air, and at the same time, a black bead flew out from its mouth, and it soared into the air, causing an explosion. T

—–!

At that point, the black bead came out. A shimmer of color bloomed.

Lee Hyun-wook looked at the strange sight and thought,

‘Black Kate…'”

A man with red skin and yellow eyes squeezed out of the strange phenomenon and jumped toward the ground. .

He whistled and looked around.

“Oh—I didn’t know I’d be second, but yeah, let’s see… where is this?”

He looked around and saw a body lying on the floor right in front of him.

His eyebrows twitched.

“Is this… the fucking me?”

He looked blank for a moment and then kicked the corpse away.

“But where did the head go? No, shit, I should have killed him, but I’m screwed… But who on earth could kill me at this time? But isn’t my regenerative power at its peak?”

He looked around while muttering to himself and made eye contact with a man, Lee Hyun-wook.

“Huh? “You…Steel Emperor, why are you here?”

Lee Hyun-wook looked him up and down while hearing his former nickname.

But…

– Semi-transcendent (LV: 143)

‘Huh?’

Isn’t that guy’s classification not ‘player’ but ‘semi-transcendent’?

This was something I couldn’t know because when I met William Bernard, the first dimensional shifter, I couldn’t see the player’s information yet.

‘…as expected, transcendence is an important keyword.’

Lee Hyun-wook recalled what he said about dimension shifters going on a ‘transcendence quest.’

I still couldn’t figure out what that meant.

At that time, the guy came over.

“Hey, why are you here now? Could it be that I crash-landed in another dimension… nope…”

Just like William Bernard, the first dimension shifter, he seemed to have no idea how this world worked.

So, just because he came from 8 years in the future, he probably thought that he had no rivals in this dimension.

“…But did you really kill me?”

He looked at the giant sword Moglei held by Lee Hyun-wook.

And only then did I feel the overwhelming divine power emanating from it.

“—The Holy Sword?”

He slowly backed away without realizing it.

Then he raised his head.

All kinds of metal weapons were floating in the sky.

And there were countless players lined up on top of the huge walls surrounding the castle.

Among them were a saint and even the manager of the World Tree.

“Oh, I guess I’m in the wrong place… It can’t be like this at this time…”
