Feeling a presence behind him, Kang Tae-sik instinctively turned his body and blocked the attack.
bang!
And when he saw the corpses that had attacked him, he screamed in shock.
“How could a corpse… … !”
An absurd situation occurred.
The corpses of the villains he had personally decapitated were rising up and attacking him.
Swaaaah.
Even the severed head that was rolling on the floor was enveloped in blue magic and floated up, then soon reattached itself back onto the neck!
“Undead?!”
Although he was flustered, Kang Tae-sik responded quickly.
He quickly bent down and swung his dagger at them.
Chomp chomp chomp chomp!
If the opponent is an undead that cannot die, the basic thing to do is to take away their mobility first.
The legs of the men were mercilessly cut off by Kang Tae-sik’s attack.
But then the blue ghosts came out again and reattached the severed legs.
[Grrrr!]
“No, what kind of guys are these… … .”
No matter how many pieces were torn apart, the undead would reassemble their bodies. In the end, Kang Tae-sik gritted his teeth and retreated.
During that time, three undead attacked Kang Tae-sik at the same time.
Thud!
Suho’s hand, which had been still until then, grabbed the corner of the stall that had fallen to the floor and swung it around.
Kwajangchang-!
… … !
A large convenience store stand was smashed to pieces by three undead.
“Ugh.”
Kang Tae-sik stepped back for a moment and looked back at Su-ho with a strange gaze.
“You, for a summoner, are quite strong… … .”
From the beginning, he did not expect great fighting ability from Suho, who was a summoner.
Just by guiding us here with the summoner’s ability, the guardian’s role was practically complete.
But what kind of strength is this?
‘Are you by any chance a Druid?’
These days, it’s become popular to classify hunters into game occupations based on the skills they possess.
And one of them is ‘Druid’.
Druids in games are generally divided into two major types.
After the beast of burden is in the vanguard, you provide support from the rear.
Or engage in close combat with animals.
Judging by his current appearance, I think Suho is probably the latter, somewhere between a summoner and a tank.
‘… … This guy might be more useful than I thought.’
Kang Tae-sik, who had been lost in thought for a moment, looked in the direction the undead had flown to.
Because these physical attacks couldn’t kill the undead.
[Ugh.]
And as expected, the undead were writhing under the shattered stalls, rising again in perfect condition.
furthermore…….
[Greeeeeee!] [Greeeeeee!]
Perhaps because of the commotion just now, undead were already appearing outside the convenience store and swarming in.
“I came here to catch a villain, and what the hell is this?”
Kang Tae-sik burst into laughter with a look of disbelief.
A convenience store that’s on fire.
Undead who raise their bodies again no matter how many pieces are torn into them.
Doesn’t it feel like watching a scene from an apocalypse movie?
No, but you can still kill zombies in movies.
These guys were a problem because even if you cut off their bodies, they would reattach themselves.
Kang Tae-sik held the dagger in his hand and shouted at Su-ho.
“Seongsuho! Let’s get out of the building first! Take the vanguard with your summoned creatures!”
“… … .”
But despite his cries, there was no answer from Suho.
Currently, Suho was thinking about the ‘mad tyrant’ he had met in the demon world.
If the mad tyrant was a parasitic demon wearing a demon’s corpse as armor, then don’t those zombies also feel like someone wearing a human corpse as armor?
‘Could this be an apostle of Itarim?’
But, although I can’t explain it in words, it felt a little different than before.
‘Besides, the name tags don’t appear on their heads.’
First of all, it was evidence that those undead were not normal demons.
furthermore…….
“Eww, eww… … !”
“… … .”
Suho’s gaze turned to the villain who had been catching his eye since a while ago at the sudden scream.
He was still bleeding and hiding inside the shield, but he was suddenly startled by the sight of his comrades who had turned into undead.
“Again, like that again! In the end, we too… … !”
‘Okay. First, this one.’
Suho’s eyes narrowed and he shouted at Kang Taesik.
“Mr. Kang Tae-sik!”
“Why! I told you to come quickly!”
Kang Tae-sik was busy dealing with the undead swarming outside.
“Just hang in there for a minute!”
“What, what?! I’m a dealer, not a tank… …!”
Kang Tae-sik is embarrassed.
Of course, even though he was a dealer, there was no way he, a B-class hunter, could not handle this amount of material.
Suho strode towards the villain hiding inside the shield.
“Eek! Oh, don’t come! I told you not to come!”
“hey.”
As Suho approached, the villain cowered in fear even more.
“Come out for a moment. Let’s talk.”
“Oh, no! Don’t come!”
bang!
Suho’s fist mercilessly struck the transparent wall surrounding him.
But the shield was strong.
In it, the villain became even more evil and shouted at Suho.
“W, do you think you can break through my shield with that much power?! The shield will never be broken until my mana runs out… …!”
bang!
“Hipp.”
As Suho’s fist struck the shield again, the villain instinctively shivered.
But the shield still held strong, and the villain shouted with even more confidence.
“I said no! Stop wasting your energy on useless things and just get out of here! You can break my shield with your bare fists… …!”
bang!
“Riga… … .”
bang!
“Oh, there isn’t any… … .”
As Suho’s fist grew stronger, his voice became quieter.
Why on earth is that?
There’s really no way that’s true.
There’s no way that a vicious physical attack like that could break your shield.
“You’re saying the exact same thing.”
Suho smirked and raised his fist again.
The fist was covered with black energy.
“If you hit it harder than the shield, it’ll break.”
And then, bang!
Wow!
“… … !”
For a moment, the villain’s eyes widened as if they were going to pop out.
The shield he had been so confident in was shattered and had holes in it.
Through that hole, Suho’s hand grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out.
“Kekeke?! Huh, how… … !”
“hey.”
Suho lifted the astonished man up with one hand and glared at him as he spoke.
“Come out.”
“Please, save me… …!”
“Stop acting like this.”
Suho glared at the villain, who was struggling in fear.
No, more precisely, towards someone beyond that.
“I told you to come out? The guy hiding inside.”
It was Suho who smiled brightly.
“… … .”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Towering.
The expression on the villain’s face disappeared as he was grabbed by the collar and trembled.
“……ah.”
The villain tilted his head at an odd angle, staring intently into Suho’s eyes and grinning.
“How did you know? How did you know? How did you know? How did you know? How did you know? How did you know? How did you know… … .”
bang!
“Oh, I’m sorry. I was so scared that I hit you without realizing it.”
As Suho’s fist slammed into the guy’s head, his mouth, which had been chattering incessantly, shut.
Then he opened his mouth again, groping, his pupils dilated.
“… … Yes, you are scarier.”
“Get those out of the way before I get any more scared.”
“How did you really know? How did you know… … .”
His mouth, about to repeat the same words again, closed as Suho raised his fist again.
‘How would you know?’
Suho’s gaze turned to the guy’s head.
[???]
A name tag filled only with question marks.
Of all the villains I encountered at the convenience store, this guy was the only one with this strange name tag on his head.
So, didn’t Gray attack this guy first?
“Ber.”
As soon as Suho opened his mouth, Ber answered, immediately understanding the meaning.
[I don’t feel the energy of Itarim. Rather… … .]
Having fought countless enemies alongside Sung Jin-woo, Ber knew most of the races, and in the current situation, there was only one person he could guess.
[I think it’s probably a demon tribe.]
“The Demon Tribe?”
Demon spirit.
It literally meant an evil spirit.
[Yes. It mainly refers to ghost-type monsters, and they are also called ghosts because they live in the underworld. Since they are spiritual beings, they have the characteristic of not being easily killed by physical attacks.]
“also.”
Suho nodded and looked around.
I kept thinking that something was strange.
With fires burning raging everywhere like this, shouldn’t the fire-fighting equipment in the ceiling be working properly?
Suho said as he lifted the captured demon’s collar again.
“I don’t know where the illusion started, but please lift this illusion right now.”
“Oh, no. If I do that, I’ll die.”
The demon tribe shook their heads desperately in confusion.
But I had no intention of being fooled by such a false expression.
That expression might just be an act too.
Strength entered Suho’s hand.
“Should I kill you now?”
“Lies. Lies. You couldn’t kill me anyway… … .”
That was when.
[Use ‘Skill: Survive’.]
“… … !”
The body of the demon tribe that met Suho’s eyes trembled.
And then an earthquake struck that dilated pupil.
[‘Effect: Fear’ is activated.] [All of the target’s abilities are reduced by 50% for 1 minute.]
What on earth is this feeling!
The demon tribe felt heavy, as if they were struggling in water.
And then I saw it.
A deep abyss contained in the long black shadow behind Suho.
“You, who are you? Why do you live with such a thick sense of death beneath your feet?”
The demon tribe found themselves growing smaller and smaller in front of the guardian, feeling even more fearful.
It wasn’t just because I was exposed to survival skills.
Since the Demonic Clan itself was a spiritual being, it seemed as if it would be swallowed up by the deep abyss that was always with the guardian.
“… … Ah, I see.”
Eventually, the demon tribe was overcome with fear and gave in to Suho’s demands.
At that moment.
Hwaaaaaaaah-!
The illusion that had been centered around the convenience store has disappeared.
Then, the true nature of the village that had been hidden in the illusion was revealed.
“Ugh. What is this?”
The expression on Kang Tae-sik’s face, who was fighting with the undead in front, became distorted.
Suddenly, a disgusting smell of blood wafted from all directions, and an even more gruesome sight unfolded before my eyes.
In front of the convenience store, there were numerous corpses lying in blood.
The village of Yamiri, which at first glance seemed quiet and peaceful… …was already a ruin.
A tremendous disaster had already unfolded before they even arrived here!
“Could it be that we were hallucinating? Haven’t we heard that there are any escapees with such skills?”
At Kang Tae-sik’s words, Su-ho glared at the demon tribe with an extremely ferocious expression and ground his teeth.
“Tell me everything. What happened here?”
“That, that… … Gaaaaaaah!”
The demon tribe, who was rolling his eyes and trying to answer obediently, suddenly started screaming.
