chapter 27
“Aww… it’s a bridge.”
He muttered as he loosened his sprained leg from the shock of the fall.
Fortunately, I didn’t fall from a higher place than I thought.
In terms of experience, it was about 1 or 2 meters at most.
Contrary to that impression, however, the surrounding scenery had completely changed.
“what’s this? Interesting.”
It must have been her first experience, but Jung Eun-mi said that without even a hint of surprise.
She just seemed happy about the situation.
“This is…”
The place where Jung Eun-mi and I fell out of nowhere was in a certain room.
Small but finely crafted traditional wooden furniture and windows and doors.
And even the folding screen that fills one side of the room.
It was like a hanok that could only exist in the Joseon Dynasty.
Meanwhile, the ceiling from which we fell was blocked without a single hole.
“·······”
I tilted my head looking at the clogged ceiling.
I was at the lighthouse just a moment ago, but suddenly it’s a hanok building.
There was not even a building similar to a hanok nearby.
After all, it was not an ordinary fall.
In addition, the level 28 I saw right before falling told me that this was related to the devil.
So, is this the same kind of hotel I saw during Blood Rang?
That is…
“It’s annoying…”
Just like he said, it gave off an annoying feeling.
There are only two things that can do this.
The first was the horse that was supposed to be chained to the inverted cross.
I don’t know what demons were tied to it.
If he had been released, it would have been understandable that this had happened.
The level indicator I saw while falling must have belonged to him.
And the other possibility was that the police were chasing me.
Maybe he noticed our coming and freed the demon that was holding him back.
Or, this itself could have been a trap prepared by him.
Either way, since there is a possibility that Mine will notice, it is said that it is difficult to receive help from the outside.
In the end, is there no choice but to get out on your own?
“Hey, do you mean this too?”
Meanwhile, Jung Eun-mi, who was poking at the folding screen, turned to me and asked.
“That’s how it is.”
“What exactly? Can I go out?”
“Have you heard of a demonic role?”
That was the content of the theory training given by Suyeon Lee the day after I caught Blood Rang.
There’s no way that Jung Eun-mi didn’t know either.
Then she nodded her head expressionlessly.
“···okay. It’s a fake space.”
It was a slightly disappointed face.
I seemed to have a rough idea of what she was thinking, so I hurried her right away.
“Rather than that, let’s go out with a weapon. Staying here won’t change anything.”
I pointed to the window door with my eyes.
Then Jung Eun-mi opened the door and went outside.
Outside, rooms and corridors with a similar atmosphere continued.
The area was quite wide.
Unlike the crypt, it was not stuffy even if a battle took place inside.
However, most of them are blocked by walls and windows, so unlike ordinary hanok, it was a very closed structure.
Also, if you open the window occasionally, you can see the outside, but you can’t get out through it.
The surroundings are a spooky forest where you can’t even tell where you are.
It was because there was a thick fog, and the building standing in the forest was about 5 stories high from the ground.
“The atmosphere is nice.”
Jung Eun-mi took out her bow, her weapon, and walked with an arrow hanging from her string.
As if taking a walk, light steps.
how far did it go
Suddenly, the spirit detection skill reacted.
The location is across the hallway, behind the window door.
Besides, the horse was running toward us at a tremendous speed.
That meant he already knew where we were.
“It comes from over there. Get ready!”
I immediately shouted at Jung Eun-mi.
I wondered if he would be able to react to my words because he was moving so leisurely.
She moved right away.
White fingers pull the bowstring.
At the same time, the arrow caught in the protest lightly glowed, carrying Jung Eun-mi’s superpower.
Then, the aiming point pointed at the window and door, and stopped.
It was waiting for the goal that would come after it.
It took only about 1 second to get here.
It was as fast as a trained archer.
and,
“Kiaaa!”
It was almost the same time that Maga burst out tearing through the window and the arrow was fired.
Arrows mercilessly pierced that human-like head.
The guy fell backwards and landed on the floor.
The level is now visible.
level 17.
It was a surprisingly high level.
If it is a spirit, the level corresponding to the white spirit.
However, he was not a white man.
“What is this again?”
At first glance, he looked like a person wearing a hanbok jacket.
But there was a clear difference… it was his face.
There was not a single feature on that flat face.
The so-called egg ghost.
If I remember correctly, it wasn’t a spirit, it was a kind of freak.
Hmm… I thought the ghost detection skill couldn’t catch the strangeness.
Is this a monster and classified as a spirit?
Hagiya, if it was an egg ghost, it would have been.
“Kii-”
It moved again with an arrow stuck in its head.
However, after being unable to move for a few steps, the body convulsed and collapsed again.
It was Jung Eun-mi’s ability.
If you look closely, you can see something crawling under the plain skin of his face.
It’s also a bad ability.
The egg ghost convulsed like that and then disappeared.
“I know this. Are you an egg ghost?”
“Are you okay?”
“Did you learn it in class?”
did you?
While looking at the data on Goi alone, I had memories of seeing it, but I had no memory of being educated.
It must have passed while I was sleeping.
“I don’t remember. Please explain what you know.”
“Um… what did you say?”
Jung Eun-mi began sparsely recounting what she remembered.
“okay. It’s weird, but you said you like group action.”
“A group action?”
“They tend to build their own nest around the mother and live in it.”
nest?
Does that mean we have now entered the egg ghost’s nest?
“What are your weaknesses?”
“head. Because it is an egg, it must break easily.”
It was a weakness that was hard to imagine.
That’s right, if you break the pot, you’ll find a human or an egg ghost.
“Then now they may come in droves…”
The existence of a demon was recognized in the skill range as soon as I spit out the words.
That number is four.
It was also a form that surrounded us in front and behind.
“What the f*ck.”
I took out my star cloud sword and aimed at the back.
Then, naturally, Jung Eun-mi aimed her bow at the front.
and right after that.
A battle broke out again.
***
“Such a bitter.”
Choi Deok-cheol sensed the abnormality of the lighthouse and spat out swear words.
He was hiding in a commercial building near the breakwater.
Around him were amulets and unidentified Buddha statues tied to ropes.
It was all a form of witchcraft to hide his presence.
There, he was watching his familiars, Kang Jin-woo and Jung Eun-mi, using food spirits.
As soon as they entered the lighthouse, something happened.
The ‘insect bug’ that was lurking there swallowed them.
An insectivore is a monster belonging to a horse.
Its ability is to hide in the crevices of space and move the swallowed object to a space made of demonic power like a sever, namely the ‘Magic Zone’.
That’s why Kang Jin-woo’s party must have fallen in the middle of such a station.
“mmm…”
There were many wrinkles between Choi Deok-cheol’s forehead.
If he moved even now, he could have been rescued.
Gongchung had already hidden himself, but it was possible to open a new door by following his traces.
However.
He had a vague idea of why the insect appeared at this point.
“Is this a test…”
This was the trap and test of the demon he was after, the false prophet.
His symbol, an inverted cross, was discovered and destroyed.
He must have already known that it was the work of the police.
So he set a trap here.
It was a story that if you, Choi Deok-cheol, were watching, you should quickly come out and save them.
“·······”
Of course, Choi Deok-cheol had no intention of proceeding with the operation even at the expense of Kang Jin-woo and his party.
It’s about catching demons to protect people.
If you actually try to redeem him by sacrificing a person, isn’t it the truth?
However, Choi Deok-cheol did not move easily in the realm of magic he had spread out.
In a short time, the road to the magic station was opened by insect insects.
It was because the magic that flowed out was not that strong.
“Indeed, insect bugs, there are limits to those bugs.”
The movement to the demonic area due to insect insects, exactly, has a limit to its strength.
Basically, insect insects cannot invade with demonic magic that has accumulated more karma than themselves.
In addition, since insect insects themselves are monsters that cannot accumulate much karma, even if they become veteran exorcists, they are not afraid of being summoned by insects.
In other words, the false prophet realized that it was the trainee who disturbed him.
This test means that you are prepared for that level.
“under···!”
When the thought reached that point, Choi Deok-cheol smiled.
Last time, Baek Min-seong and Kang Jin-woo were not the only ones he called for blood love.
Of course, I called Monica, who was with him, and we talked about it separately.
If Kang Jin-woo’s inaction in the battle with Blood Rang is true to her words.
He was never a talent who stayed at the level of a general trainee.
so maybe
No, definitely.
Kang Jin-woo was able to break his trap and come out.
“Then let’s believe and wait.”
After standing up for a while, he sat down on the floor again.
He quietly gazed at the lighthouse with his food soul eyes.
***
“How many times is this?”
He muttered as he broke the pot of the egg ghost.
In a moment, literally dozens of egg ghosts came pouring out from all sides.
Is it because it is a hanok?
From saekdong jeogori to scholar wearing a hat.
All of them were egg ghosts dressed in clothes that could only be seen in the Joseon Dynasty.
The only good thing was that they were all in their mid-teens, so it wasn’t difficult to deal with them.
“Are you coming again?”
Jung Eun-mi asked.
I wonder if the flat face of the egg ghost got tired of it in an instant.
It was an expression that looked more displeased than mine.
“No, but be careful. Because there seems to be something over there.”
I pointed in any direction and said.
Jung Eun-mi nodded lightly and looked at her.
I tried to make the most of this brief hiatus.
Because a general offensive was expected soon.
“·······”
This was also an experience he had as a warrior.
Lesser Goblins or Orcs, etc.
The monsters who always had subtle intelligence and lived in groups were like that.
At first, they find an enemy and attack randomly, but after the enemy is strong and the vanguard is wiped out, they finally come up with a plan.
Of course, the plan is a simple and ignorant plan to gather together and attack.
The superiority of numbers has unconventional power by itself.
Even now, if hundreds of egg ghosts suddenly come rushing in… No matter how hard I am, it will be difficult.
So I checked the quest window first.
Dozens of egg ghosts caught earlier.
To put it simply, it was an experience point event for me, and my stagnant level finally rose.
The level 15 achievement quest spit out that reward.
The reward was to learn job skills as predicted, but I wasn’t expecting much.
It was a skill that was automatically learned as the level went up, and it was the first skill to be acquired among them.
This game system is not very kind to me.
It must be greed to want something too good here.
The job skills that I have confirmed are…
<Sword of Light>
A holy warrior always defeats darkness with light.
Applies light-holy attributes to a weapon for 3 minutes.
Spiritual Power Consumption: 5
It had a very simple effect.
But… it wasn’t as bad as I thought.
A light-holy property on a weapon.
Even in this world, it wasn’t necessary to catch other monsters, but it was a skill that doubled the damage against the undead.
In other words, it is extremely fatal for egg ghosts.
Fortunately, instead of mana, spiritual power was consumed.
No matter how much it is, if it’s a job skill, at least I’ll let you use it.
It was a very natural consideration.
“Good. next···”
Riding the momentum, I even tried to use the cube box.
He was finally going to use the synthesis function that was opened as a quest reward.
The material is of course an A-class attribute, but it is a useless mana protection.
And it was the drop of the gourd I picked up last time.
The bell of the brew had already lost its power, but it was still being judged as an item.
Literally a trash item.
Isn’t it just a good material to synthesize?
“first···”
Opened the synthesis window of the cube box.
Then, there were 9 slots to put something in a square shape.
You mean you can synthesize up to 9 types?
Whatever it is, I first put in the two ingredients I want to synthesize.
and composite.
<There is a grade A or higher material. Are you sure you want to synthesize?>
Then, kindly, a confirmation window popped up.
I chose ‘yes’ without hesitation.
The cube shone with the closing motion of the cube box.
It was golden.
