Chapter 33: Enemy (1)
From the point of view of Jung Jin-ho, it seemed like a moron had been released from jail.
“No, what bullsh*t… what are you doing?! Seok-woo!”
“I did it! The dog, motherfucker! I stabbed him! Brother!”
“This crazy bastard!”
The place erupted into chaos.
Jung Jin-ho immediately pulled out his sword. Of course, I thought it wasn’t for the intention to attack us.
‘He’s trying to kill him.’
He seemed to be trying to correct this situation by killing Yoo Seok-woo.
It was as if he would kill him to shut his mouth, and then clear up the situation later. Right now, that was the only thing Jung Jin-ho could choose.
It was clear that he did not want to fight with our team in a place like this.
If it was Kim Hyun-sung or Park Deok-gu that was stabbed by the sword, there might have been a chance, but unfortunately, the weakest, Lee Ki-young, was the one who had gotten hurt.
‘You can’t kill him.’
When I looked at Kim Hyun-Sung instinctively, I could see that he was also moving quickly.
Jung Jin-ho’s lackey Kim Jae-Joon, who seemed to have a remarkably inferior ability to grasp the situation, started running towards our side with a dagger. He thought that Jung Jin-ho running out was a signal of battle.
“This beggar trash! You killed him! You killed Ki-cheol!”
Of course, I killed Lee Ki-Cheol.
Even so, I couldn’t imagine that he would actually leave Deokgu next to him and run over here to me.
It seemed that I had become the official celebrity of this party during this attack. I, who should have been safely protected from the rear, quickly became the main tank.
What was unexpected was that Park Deok-gu’s ability to judge the situation was a little slow.
At least I thought he would block the second attack, but he couldn’t prevent Kim Jae-Joon from rushing to my side with his dagger raised.
‘Damn.’
The dagger fell at my back as I crouched reflexively. It seemed as if he was precisely aiming at my neck.
‘Hurts!’
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
It was too painful. Park Deok-gu came to his senses right after the second attack fell. As well as pushing him with his large shield, he began to block me with a pale, stiff face.
Yoo Seok-woo in the back looked a little bit stunned by the sudden situation. He held the dagger he had used to stab me and was shaking relentlessly.
He was also not used to stabbing someone. Of course, Jung Jin-ho and Kim Hyun-sung were more important than this fearful trash.
“Is this just a misunderstanding…?” the two’s swords collided before the voice came out.
‘Done.’
Bang! As soon as I heard the sound, the sight of Jung Jin-ho being blown far away could be seen.
The battle had already begun. The goal was achieved, and the two were put against each other.
All that remained was to correct this situation.
I wanted to ask for a quick treatment, but the problem was that I couldn’t speak.
There was no voice other than screaming that came out due to pain I felt for the first time in my life. When I thought I would hear the Healing magic from Hayan, I actually heard a scream of rage from Hayan’s side.
“I hate you!”
‘Hurt…’
“These guys!! Hyung-ssi!”
“I hate you! I hate you!!”
I quite honestly hoped she would heal me instead of screaming. The situation was so urgent, and I couldn’t get up, either.
Monsters were running in from the front of them, and Jung Jin-ho and Kim Hyun-sung were fighting with their swords.
It seemed that Park Deok-gu had not yet been able to find out whether he should block the front or the back where Yoo Seok-woo was, but he was trying to protect himself as much as possible.
“Oppa! Oppa!”
“He’s not dead yet…”
“Sister! Ring! Ring! Use the ring quickly! The ring!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Oppa! Oppa! Oppa!”
“Calm down and use the ring!”
“Ah!”
I expected Jung Hayan to panic, but things were a little more serious than I had thought.
Only after Park Deok-gu held Jung Hayan’s hand tightly did she remember what she was capable of doing, “Oh… the cure!”
The light came pouring down on me. My body didn’t recover in an instant, but a strangely pleasing light was surely healing my wounds.
The pain was still there. However, there was no sensation of tingling and bleeding from the wound.
‘I almost died.’
If it was a little later, I would have bled to death right then and there.
“Oppa… Oppa… Oppa.”
“Brother, brother!”
“I’m fine… Ah,” with a slightly trembling body, I look around again.
Kim Hyun-sung and Jung Jin-ho were fighting without a word. Whoever saw it, would know that Kim Hyun-sung was stronger.
Of course, you couldn’t hear his curses.
Eventually, our main villain abandoned Yoo Seok-woo, and Kim Jae-Joon turned his back and ran to leave this place.
Kim Hyun-sung, who looked this way for a while, nodded and spoke urgently.
“Deok-gu! Please look after Hayan and Kiyoung-ssi. I’m going after Jung Jinho.”
“Okay, I see!” he had judged that we would have the ability to organize the situation.
As he was quite fast, he disappeared from our view in an instant.
Kim Jae-Joon also seemed to be trying to get out of the place immediately as if he understood that the situation was twisted, but that guy also did not take Yoo Seok-woo with him.
In this situation, Park Deok-gu could stop the monsters.
“These guys!”
Once again, I could see Yoo Seok-woo swinging his sword. Of course, it didn’t hit me this time because Park Deok-gu struck him with a shield.
Puck!
Yoo Seok-woo’s body floated through the air and was hit against a wall, but at the same time, monsters rushed to the place.
“Magic Shield!”
The second insurance prepared by Kim Hyun-sung blocked their path.
At the same time, I was memorizing spells in that instant.
Kim Jae-Joon and Jung Jin-ho had already disappeared from view, but Kim Hyun-Sung could not catch both.
“Hyung-ssi, Hyung-ssi sister is gone…”
Jung Hayan had gone to catch Kim Jae-Joon.
“Don’t worry, Deok-gu. First, take care of the monsters in front of us and follow her immediately. I know where she went.”
“I’m glad then…”
I didn’t see when and how she disappeared.
She prepared a new spell and just followed Kim Jae-Joon.
I didn’t know if she’ll be able to catch up to the guy with high agility, but seeing that she’s was rushing without any sense of direction, she’ll probably come back after solving her problems.
Park Deok-gu’s face was also filled with tears, perhaps because he encountered an unexpected situation. I looked at him and spoke as it seemed to be quite shocking to see me bleeding.
“Don’t cry, Piglet.”
“Who, who cried?”
Thanks to the guy’s pushing, the dagger got stuck in my body once more, but it wasn’t that bad.
* * *
‘Sh*t.’
It was hard to understand what was going on and why.
‘Yoo Seok-woo is a stupid guy. He is trash.’
There was no hope for him.
No, actually, Yoo Seok-woo wasn’t alone in that. The same could go for myself, who accepted Jung Jin-ho’s sword as an attack signal and put a dagger in that other trash.
I thought it should have been the right thing.
Lee Ki-Cheol was a friend of his who had moved together with him for a long time. He could not control himself because Kiyoung had killed his friend.
‘I knew the plan was canceled…’
Yet it was all because of that guy who showed a smile while saying sorry. I knew I had to restrain myself, but I couldn’t help it.
That expression…that expression was the problem.
That expression that seemed to laugh.
That openly provocative look.
The problem was how this guy regarded me. He seemed to look down on me from the inside. Still, I left that guy stabbed and helpless.
Even in that situation, the moment I saw the expression of that guy watching the situation with a strangely pleasant expression, I couldn’t keep my reason.
Jung Jin-ho, that motherfucker was also a problem.
In the first place, I thought I had no friendship with him, but I didn’t think that he would throw me away as if I were not important at all.
‘I do not care.’
But that didn’t matter anymore.
Anyway, I was with him because I needed him. I used him as much as he used me. It was a simple story.
‘First.’
First off, I need to get out of here.
Jung Jin-ho had just decided that there was no opportunity in this situation. As the path was fresh, I could fully follow the path that Jung Jin-ho used to run away.
Even now, the traces of him running away were clearly visible. After following Jung Jin-ho, I had to deal with Kim Hyun-sung. This time everything was a lot clearer.
Lee Ki-young will not be relieved without tearing and killing the motherfucker.
It was just at that time when I tried to move as fast as possible while carrying a bow and arrow, that I noticed something.
‘What?’
It was different from the path I memorized. This was certainly not the way I knew.
This was the first time this happened since I changed my job as an archer.
I was wondering if there was something wrong with the dungeon itself, but it was certainly not the case. The traces of Jung Jin-ho and Kim Hyun-sung also felt odd.
“What…”
When I looked around a little, I felt a harsh and sudden wind blowing from an unknown direction.
“Huh?”
It was after some time that I felt that one of my legs had been cut off.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!”
‘What… What is this… what!’
I could not make a good judgment. It did not take long for my other leg to get cut off.
You were the most afraid when you didn’t know what attacked you.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”
After the wind blew again, a hand was cut off.
“What! What… Ahhhhhhhhh!”
What came to my mind was magic. As I looked around desperately once again, a woman appeared from the dark, dimly in my sight.
I thought it was the first time I saw her, but it was definitely not the first time.
‘Hayan?’
She had a reddened expression.
‘So snowy…’
Her eyes were weird. Her hair was scattered, and her clothes were messed up. You could see she was wiping the flowing tears with her hands.
“I hurt you… I won’t apologize.”
“What…”
“I can never forgive this… dummy! I have to kill them all. I have to kill all humans who harm my Oppa.”
“What bullsh*t… Ahhhhhhhhh!”
“You shut up! And I mean it, shut up! This… This… Fool! How painful it must have been for my Oppa… How painful it must have been! Even when he was first hit… It must have been painful!”
I was quick to figure out the situation. This woman in front of me was not normal.
‘Fuck… Fuck…’
It was in an instant that I realized I was wrong.
Although she seemed to be weirdly obsessed with the motherfucker, I couldn’t even imagine she would be this crazy a bitch. I could hear a spell being prepared.
No wonder my body first sensed the ominousness.
I wanted to get out of this situation by crawling somehow, but there was no way I would get out. This place was too wide to crawl and escape.
I could feel the woman’s arms grabbing my hair and lifting my face.
“Sorry, I don’t have time, so I’m so sorry to have to finish it quickly. My Oppa… I have to return as my Oppa has already suffered dozens of times… I can’t do anything more…”
“Help me… I… I just did what he told me to do.”
“I don’t believe liars… Air bomb.”
What was held in her right hand was magic I had already seen before. The magic that made several monsters turn into lifeless corpses.
Unlike the time when it was the size of human heads, what I saw this time was very small.
When I couldn’t understand what she was doing, I heard the crazy woman’s voice once again.
“Open your mouth.”
“What… What…”
“Ah… Do it. Dang, you should feel the same way. You should feel how much pain my Oppa felt.”
I stubbornly closed my mouth. If something like that came inside…
However, the crazy bitch forcibly opened my mouth with her hand and eventually put the small bomb inside. I couldn’t get used to the feeling of a foreign substance as it entered.
The cold sweat continued to flow, and my body was trembling.
That was when the brain-shaking explosion was heard before I could even begin to imagine what was happening.
Bang!
“Ahhh ae ae ae!”
Fragments of teeth burst along with the mouth - the tongue, throat, and cheeks. It was hard to understand what happened, but one thing was certain: the pain seemed to melt my brain.
“Is it painful? You are hurt too. But why… you did it to him!”
‘Mad girl… Crazy bitch… Crazy bitch… “
“You splattered blood on me, idiot.”
“I am alive… Ahh…”
Only
Even her appearance of tidying up was grotesque.
She carefully tidied up the sporadic hair and wiped the blood splattered on her face with her sleeves.
“Because we have to finish it quickly… This is the last one. You can’t do that next time.”
‘Please don’t do this.’
‘Please, it reminds me of hell.’
The words weren’t properly spoken out of fear, but my consciousness was getting blurred.
When I thought I would be able to live somehow, a voice that was my last, resounded.
“Ah… I’m dead.”
