Chapter 199
199. The result of fortune telling
“What is this sound?”
“That’s his voice!”
“Let’s go in.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party ran into the building.
The interior of the building was charred black by the explosion, and the wizard lay in the center.
“I think this friend was also hit by an explosion?”
“I never thought that the deceased that the fortune teller was talking about was this guy…!”
“I am not dead yet.”
Although mortally wounded, he was barely breathing.
He’s a guy with a tougher name line than I thought.
“Hey, what happened?”
“Ugh…”
The wizard stretched out his hand weakly and pointed at the ceiling.
Looking up, I found bright red letters that read [Traitor].
“betrayer?”
“We are one step behind.”
They realized that the wizard had betrayed them and set an explosive trap in the hideout.
So that the returning traitor can be blown away cleanly.
“Damn me. There was a situation here too…”
The wizard gritted his teeth and muttered indignantly.
“That’s why you shouldn’t have betrayed in the first place.”
“It’s because of you!”
The wizard looked like he had a lot to say, but he slumped as if he had no more energy to speak.
“So where are the kidnapped people?”
“You must be useless now. Let’s break down the hideout location.”
Cudangdangdangtang!
Then a loud noise was heard from inside.
“what? this sound?”
“That way!”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound.
jump!
Through the wide open back door, I saw someone running away.
It seems that there was an organization member who hid inside the hideout and activated the trap.
“That bastard is running away! catch!”
“I’ll go after you.”
“Loser~!”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party pursued the fleeing gang member.
‘Wait a minute, what about me…?’
The abandoned wizard was left unattended for 5 minutes and was taken away by adventurers who heard the news and dispatched them.
– That’s that!
“Why are you so fast?”
“You wrote Haste.”
how long did it run
Kang Seung-hyun and his party, who were tracking down the members of the organization, left Hind Village and came to Dentroll Forest Road.
The member of the organization who was actually running away was in a state of hiding.
“Where the hell did that kid go?”
“My [gut] is that it must be around here.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party were walking through the woods looking for an organization member.
‘what? Something… I don’t feel good.’
I felt a strange feeling.
I couldn’t see it clearly, but I felt a tension that I couldn’t feel in an ordinary forest.
“…!”
It was then.
grasp!
He thought he heard a noise from the grass, but a bright arrow flew at high speed and struck Ziggs.
Kang!
“Ziggys!”
“Mister Ziggs!”
dump!
Hit by an arrow, Ziggs fell helpless. Judging from the location where it flew, the area the arrow hit was undoubtedly the chest.
“Mr. Ziggs!”
Seunghyun Kang hurriedly ran towards Ziggs.
‘Was there an ambush?’
At the same time, I immediately activated [Heat Detection].
Roaring!
Then, many red lights emanated from the grass everywhere.
“Everyone take out your weapons. It is a trap.”
“A trap?”
[Summons Freea’s crossbow.]
Kang Seung-hyun quickly summoned a crossbow and pulled the trigger toward the red light.
[Fria’s bond pouch]
[Generates barbed arrows.]
Paba Park!!
Papabak!!
“Ah!”
“Crush!”
As the arrows passed through or brushed through the red light, the members of the organization who had been hiding in [Stealth] were revealed.
“To see through my [light wind].”
Then, with an arrogant voice, a man in a purple robe holding a fan appeared from among the gang members.
Looking at the tail, he seemed to be a wizard.
“You’re not an ordinary adventurer are you?”
“I am an ordinary adventurer, right? It must have been because your stealth skills were so lame.”
“I understand why that stupid bastard betrayed you.”
The wizard pretended not to hear Kang Seung-hyeon and smiled.
Judging from the wizard mentioned earlier, it seems that this guy is the head of the crime guild.
“My name is the guild master of the Gahen guild ‘Divine Line’.”
“My name is Seunghyun Kang. As you can see, I am a healer.”
“I’ve been watching you since before, but your skills aren’t bad and you’re bold. He is a good person.”
The guy had been watching Kang Seung-hyeon’s group’s movements since the inn. That’s why he seems to have noticed his colleague’s betrayal.
“There is a vacant position, but do you have any intention of joining our organization? We’ll have to talk about the details after we move.”
“That means…”
Kang Seung-hyun shifted his gaze.
At the end of his gaze was Ziggs, who had been struck by an arrow.
“You should have taken it out before you did this.”
grasp!
Seunghyun Kang pulled the trigger as if he was dumbfounded.
Gahen immediately opened his magic shield, but the arrow narrowly missed and grazed the guy’s cheek, causing a wound.
“You dare put your hand on my face?”
Gahen, who had been smiling leisurely the entire time, immediately twisted his face and shouted.
“Kill them all!! right now!”
Starting with Gahen’s angry voice, members from all over the organization rushed out at once.
“As expected, this is what happens…”
“You bastards!!!”
Using that as a signal, Kang Seung-hyun and his party each took out their weapons and attacked the approaching enemies.
Kim Ho-jung cried half-crying.
“Sir Seo! Ziggs Ziggs How! Ziggs is dead!”
“I’m not dead yet, so calm down.”
“But you got hit by an arrow in the chest! It usually dies!”
Seunghyun Kang activated [Observation Eye] and looked at Ziggs.
‘The arrow hit the chest, but the arrow didn’t pierce the heart.’
Normally, even if he died instantly, he would have nothing to say, but Ziggs didn’t just get fooled.
‘You activated [Earth Shield] right before you got hit. That’s why he saved his life.’
The timing was off, so he couldn’t completely stop it, but the arrow’s power was greatly reduced, and Ziggs was barely able to save his life.
“There is no change in the fact that it is a fatal wound, but it is still breathing.”
“All right! thank god!”
“If you heal right away…”
Kang Seung-hyun was about to take out a healing tool from his inventory.
“Do you think I’ll just let it heal?”
One of the guild members who approached swung a sword.
The movement was quite fast, probably because he was using a skill.
Kang!!!
“Don’t disturb me, go away.”
Kang Seung-hyeon immediately took out his silver glory and hit the guy’s sword.
“There is a healer over there!”
“Kill!”
“As expected, the first thing to do is healer!”
However, as a healer is a job that benefits quickly, all the members of the private line guild started running towards Kang Seung-hyeon.
“Mr. Kim Ho-jung and Mr. Alec.”
“Leave it to me!”
“It would be difficult to treat Ziggs with such idiots.”
“Go and wipe it all out.”
As if waiting for those words, Kim Ho-jung and Alec rushed forward.
“Hyung, you know my style, right? please!”
“okay!”
The two each pulled out their weapons and rushed at the guild members.
“You’re going to deal with us with just the two of us?”
“It’s ridiculous.”
Fuck! grasp!
Kim Ho-jeong, who ran to the front, swung her golden glory at the guild members.
Shock! Fit!
“what is this? Are you just flat?”
“I don’t think this man has any attack skills.”
“You’re not even worth fighting for! don’t mind!”
Perhaps because he was receiving a defense buff, Kim Ho-jeong’s attacks only left small scratches on his body.
The guild members laughed at Kim Ho-jeong and attacked him.
“The attack is done this way!”
“Get out of here!”
“Oh! Queue!”
Although constant attacks were pouring in, Kim Ho-jeong gritted her teeth and endured, steadfastly wielding golden glory.
“Stop the attack that doesn’t even work and go away!”
“This kid is tough! Just die!”
“Brother Kim! That’s enough.”
Then Alec, who was behind me, smiled and spread his hand.
“Then let’s begin.”
The glove flashed and at the same time, red blood began to ooze from the wrist.
“I have no grudge against your older brother.”
“Keep!”
At the same time, he grabbed the neck of the closest guild member.
“Because it’s the closest!”
“Quaaaa!!!”
PABABABA!!
At the same time, blood spewed out from the scratches all over the guy’s body.
“Whoah!”
“What is this!!”
“Aaaaa!!!”
When the blood thorns that rose from there pierced other guild members, they too screamed along with the thorns from the wounds on their bodies.
“This is it! Chain combo!”
“It’s a skill I don’t want to see again.”
Kim Ho-jung muttered with a frightened face.
The skill just now is the Blood Sorcerer’s [Crown of Thorns], which is a typical Blood Sorcerer’s skill that summons blood thorns from the wound to inflict great damage if the target has a wound.
If you use it when people are gathered like now, it is useful for mass murder because the victim who has been hit by [Crown of Thorns] evolves into an assailant who attacks people around him with [Crown of Thorns] to create another victim.
“The more wounds there are, the more useful this skill is!”
“It doesn’t look good, but it does.”
When the two formed a party in the past, they used to play cooperatively like now, with tanker Kim Ho-jung pulling aggro from the enemy camp and Alec activating [Crown of Thorns].
“That’s enough so I won’t have to step out.”
Kang Seung-hyeon, who saw this, looked at Ziggs with a smile.
Ziggs, who barely came to his senses, opened his mouth.
“Hey Healer… am I going to die?”
“I am in treatment. You know my skills, right?”
“It looks like Pengril beckons from across the river… It looks like it’s calling me…”
“It’s an illusion. Mr. Pengrill has fallen into hell and can’t come this way.”
Kang Seung-hyeon was about to use his skill to extract the arrow.
“These useless things!”
Gahen, who had been silent behind him, walked out shouting with an angry face.
“Are you making me come forward?”
sudden!
The guy opened the fan he was holding in his hand and activated his skill.
[Spear of sorrow]
A white spear was summoned in the air, and
Parbaba!!
As if it were raining, it began to pounce on the two of them.
“To use a wide-area skill in a mean way!”
“It’s not something the four blood mages would say.”
“Let’s avoid it for now!”
Alec and Kim Ho-jung tried to scatter to the sides to avoid the [Spear of Grief].
Whiik!!
It was then.
Whoa!
“Quaaaaaaa!!”
The guild member who was lying on the floor screamed and exploded with a dazzling light.
Swept away by the light, Kim Ho-jung’s vision blurred for a moment and she was unable to see.
“Uh, how do you take your subordinates!”
“Because it is useless.”
Gahen sacrificed his subordinates to catch Kim Ho-jung’s feet.
“You should use it like this.”
“…guck.”
At the same time, the [Spear of Grief] penetrated Kim Ho-jung’s neck.
Kim Ho-jung tried to pull out the spear stuck in his neck, but
he was blown away!
Three or four [Spears of Sorrow] flew in afterward to block it.
“Ki Kim hyung!”
Alec, who was on the other side, hurriedly shouted, but
thud.
Then came the terrible sound of a broken neck.
It was a gruesome sight that I couldn’t bear to open my eyes to see.
“I got rid of one guy with this.”
Gahen smiled leisurely and pushed Kim Ho-jung over with his foot.
Smack!
Kim Ho-jung’s body was pushed helplessly and collapsed.
Red blood began to spread around him.
“Ki Kim Ho-jeong.”
“…”
That figure clearly entered Jigsaw and Kang Seung-hyun.
“Are you trying to heal? If you want to do it, do it.”
Gahen laughed loudly and said.
Of course, even if you get a fatal wound, a healer can heal it as long as you can breathe.
“If you treat the corpse, it will only speed up the decay!”
However, it cannot be cured when the neck is bent like now and it is clearly in an ‘instant death’ state.
Healers can heal living people, not dead people.
“…”
Kang Seung-hyun, who had been watching the fallen Kim Ho-jung, opened his mouth.
“…you’d better apologize now.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! You must be very upset because your colleague died? What will you do if you don’t apologize?”
Gahen giggled as he folded the fan.
Even his subordinates were disgusted at the way he laughed as if he couldn’t stand it because it was funny.
“Oh, I don’t mean to apologize to me.”
Seunghyun Kang said with a smile.
“I mean to do it to the person in question.”
“what?”
“It is already late.”
Hearing those words, everyone present turned their gaze toward Kim Ho-jung.
Swoouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..
What happened.
Black energy was rising from Kim Ho-jung’s corpse.
