Chapter 244 King of the Dead Sea (2)
A rotten corpse, dripping with blood, crawled up from the sinkhole as black as an animal’s throat.
-zombie?
“I think so.”
She could tell that she was a zombie, the lowest level undead monster, just by looking at her slow, sobbing movements.
[Puoong!]The zombie who came out of the sinkhole and tried to move to another place was hit by a swordsman who was guarding the front and fell back into the pit.
After that, a few zombies and skeletons came up, but as soon as they stepped on the ground, they returned to the dead by the swords and magic of the powerful.
[Isn’t it an ordinary sinkhole? Undead monsters are coming up from the basement. However, because the number is not large and the grade is low, the Backhoe Guild is handling it without difficulty.]As the reporter who relayed the scene said, the only monsters coming up from the hole were low-level zombies and skeletons, so they fell by cutting their heads.
-Is this something that never happened in your previous life?
“No.”
Baek Woojin nodded his head with his gaze fixed on the screen. Sink holes are a fairly common phenomenon, but this is the first time a sink hole of that size has appeared.
-Are you going to see it?
“It doesn’t seem like a big deal given the size of the sinkhole, but just in case you don’t know, you should get in touch.”
The association requested data on the giant sinkhole. If you don’t know anything else, you’ll know the flow of mana that exists inside.
Whoa!
About 15 minutes later, the phone rang. Lee Young-hyun’s name was floating on the screen.
“Chief?”
[I contacted you because of the information about the Incheon sink hole requested by the prosecutor.]“I just asked for data on mana levels… .”
I just sent a text message to the association, but suddenly Lee Young-hyun contacted me, so I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
[Prosecutor, wasn’t it me from the beginning? Of course I have to tell you.]Although it was late, Lee Young-hyun’s voice was full of power.
[I’ll tell you right away. The sinkhole’s grade from the mana measurement was between grades 2 and 3.]“Yes? Is that the only thing?”
[Yes. It is speculated that the sinkhole phenomenon and the dungeon opening occurred at the same time, leading to such a state. The monsters that come out are about the same as skeletons and zombies, so I don’t think the prosecutor needs to worry.]“Which guild is preparing to attack the sink hole?”
[This is the White Tiger Guild. The White Tiger Guild also has a level 5 divine ability, so you will be able to attack the inside without difficulty.]“i See.”
Baek Woojin nodded. The Baekho Guild is a large guild operating in Incheon and has a lot of experience in attacking various dungeons.
There are also divine powers, so you will be able to attack that sink hole without taking any damage.
“The Baekho Guild is reliable. thank you for telling me.”
[no. I just did what I had to do. We will contact you again when the sink hole attack is finished.]Baek Woojin hung up the phone and turned his head to his TV. Skeletons and zombies were no longer coming out.
“The mana rating is also low and it doesn’t seem like a big deal.”
-Right.
Darkness nodded as she looked at the TV screen. He didn’t need Baek Woojin to go where he saw only skeletons and zombies.
But something took a while. Looking at that chewy pit, a very old memory came back to me.
– He can’t be here.
**
The next morning, Baek Woojin visited the 100 Guild as usual.
“You don’t have to come in today.”
As he was about to enter the special recovery room, Park Il-seop, the master of the Baekseon Guild, blocked his way.
“Stand, please… .”
“Yes. Both of you are awake.”
Park Il-seop smiled brightly and nodded his head.
“Uh, where are you?”
“He is in the general recovery room, room 303.”
“thank you! thank you!”
Baek Woojin bowed his head three times to Park Il-seop and ran to the recovery room where there were two people.
bang!
Unknowingly, he opened the door to the recovery room, as if he had lost his strength.
“You’re not a robber, why are you coming in so harshly?”
“It looks like you still can’t control your power.”
Baek Woojin turned his head to the right where he heard the nostalgic voice.
Cheon-woong Baek and Young-gak Mu were sitting and smiling. Seeing the two of them laugh, his heart fluttered.
“Lord, my lord… .”“I’m sorry I couldn’t properly protect the children. And it was really hard.”
Baek Cheon-woong closed his eyes. As soon as he woke up, he heard what Baek Woojin was doing, so he was sorry but thankful.
“no. I’m so glad you woke up.”
Baek Woojin bit his lip and shook his head. When I saw Baek Cheon-woong’s thin face, my heart ached as if I had chewed the root of a tree raw.
“The vice-lord’s… .”
“There is no need for me to worry. Force was not important to me.”
– It can’t be… .
“… … .”
As Darkness said, it is a force that has been nurtured throughout his life, but there is no way it is not important. Baek Cheon-woong just said that in order not to burden himself.
– You’re a really nice guy.
He sympathized with the words of darkness and rubbed Baek Cheon-woong’s hand. It was so sad that those strong hands had no strength.
“Thank you. Just pay attention to that guy.”
“Well… .”
Baek Woojin turned to Baek Cheon-woong’s glance. The eyes of the martial artist were twinkling like a child expecting praise.
chin.
Baek Woojin took out an earpiece from his pocket and placed it in Muyoung’s hand.
“Thanks to you, I was able to catch them. Thank you for your courage.”
“Wow! I believed you!”
The silent guest waved his fists with an exclamation like a glass of cider.
“I thought you could figure out my intentions if you were a prosecutor! You are great too!”
“no. You were better.”
Baek Woojin smiled as he looked at the happy dancers. Had this weirdo not had the courage, he would still have stood still here.
The number one contributor to eliminating Xenon and Darkmoon was the unsung warrior.
“So I have something to give you.”
Baek Woojin took out a high-grade elixir of red samurai and handed it to the unsung guest.
“Hey, what is this?”
“You know.”
“I know, I know! Redemption! It’s an advanced elixir that affects stamina, body, and aurors!”
Like a thief, the martial artist knew every detail of the grade and efficacy of red fire.
“It’s something I got thanks to you. First, eat this elixir, and after your body recovers, eat the red sage.”
Baek Woojin also handed over Jeong Yeon-hwan, an elixir that heals the body.
“Go, thank you.”
As soon as the silent guest woke up, he looked impressed, as if he had never expected to receive such a gift.
“The Vice-Lord also eats Jeon Yeong-hwan first, then eats this.”
Baek Woojin turned around and handed Baek Cheon-woong to Jeong Yeon-hwan and the green short ring contained in the neckplate.
“This… .”
“It is an elixir called Noksinhwan. It has an excellent effect on replenishing energy.”
“That’s right. Noxinhwan is the best elixir to protect and preserve the body. After all, there is nothing the prosecutor doesn’t know.”
Mu-Young Gaek licked his lips again and began to recite explanations about Nok Shin-Hwan.
“The best effect of Young-Hwan Nok is. Replenish your stamina and energy… .”
“Because it has been explained. Get your hands out of my pocket.”
“Huh!”
Mu Young-gak was startled and took his hand from Baek Woojin’s pocket.
– Because he’s a guy who doesn’t really change… .
Darkness waved its blade as if in absurdity. This guy was searching for other elixirs in Baek Woojin’s pocket as he was explaining Nok Young-hwan. He really was a great thief.
“You should steal if you feel better. My hands are stiff and I get tea right away.”
“Ugh… .”
Baek Woojin knows that the silent guest was playing a prank, so he blew a chestnut on his forehead.
“Koohoo! Oh, I see.”
“Heh heh heh!”
Mu Yeong-gaek stroked his red forehead, and Baek Cheon-woong burst into a pleasant laugh.
‘Good.’
Baek Woojin looked at the two and smiled relievedly. Seeing the two of them awake and smiling, it felt like a stone had been lifted off their chest.
Whoa!
The phone in my pocket vibrated. Baek Woojin knew that the call was coming, but he didn’t answer it.
“If you get a call, answer it.”
“Then wait a minute… .”
Baek Woojin went to the window and looked at the screen. It was Younghyun Lee.
-Are you trying to let me know when the sink hole attack is over?
‘I will.’
The White Tiger Guild entered last night, so by now it should have been finished.
“Chief. Are you done?”
[Inspector! that… .]Lee Young-hyun could not easily continue to speak. After hesitating for a while, he barely spoke.
[At the time, the White Tiger Guild that entered the sinkhole was annihilated.]-what?
“Yes?”
Thinking that he had heard it wrong, he asked involuntarily. He could not believe that the White Tiger Guild had been wiped out after entering the 3rd level dungeon.
[Uh, the life reactions of the 45 White Tiger Guilds who entered the sinkhole yesterday disappeared.]“No, how… .”
[We do not know the exact reason. However, after the White Tiger Guild was annihilated, the size of the sinkhole widened further, and the internal mana reaction was also raised to level 6.]-Ummm… .
Heuk-am, who heard Lee Young-hyun’s report, groaned without knowing it.
[Currently, it has not been revealed to the outside because of the barrier, but it will inevitably be revealed soon. The sinkhole is getting bigger, and a black mist is flowing over the land around it.]“Black Mist?”
[Oh, it’s different from the one in the front. However, there is a horrendous morale that is comparable to that.]“then… .”
Baek Woojin bit his lip and turned around. Baek Cheon-woong gave his warm eyes and gestured to him.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but let’s go.”
“okay. Now we have to eat this elixir and find health. busy.”
The two smiled as if to go without feeling burdened. Baek Woojin nodded his head and grabbed the receiver again.
“I will go right now.”
**
Baek Woojin headed straight for Incheon. He was guided by the association’s staff, and entered the auditorium where the talented people who would enter the sinkhole were gathered.
The talented people who had gathered together to talk about the sinkhole, as soon as they saw Baek Woojin, shut their mouths and focused their eyes on him.
His eyes were mixed with many emotions such as longing, admiration, envy, and jealousy.
Baek Woojin accepted the gaze he had become accustomed to, and sat down on the edge of his chair and looked around.
With the annihilation of the White Tiger Guild, the association was well prepared, so the people here belonged to a large guild with a high reputation such as Lucas, Phoenix, Daeryong, and Daemyunghoe.
‘If this is enough, I won’t be easily defeated by anyone.’
“My name is Jinkwang Park, who is in charge of the Association’s emergency response team. Now that everyone is gathered, we will start the briefing right away.”
As Baek Woojin was grasping the level of the guilds, a man in a suit standing on the podium bowed his head.
“I will tell you what happened yesterday. Baekho Guild Master Hwang Baek-ho, 25 swordsmen, 15 kwonsa, and 4 divine powers went into the sinkhole together, and all their life reactions disappeared this morning. after that… .”
Park Jin-kwang pointed to the screen and continued.
“The mana wave of the sinkhole has changed dramatically. The current mana level is level 6, but it continues to grow. At the same time, the sinkholes are getting bigger and there is a black mist of morale.”
The size of the sinkhole seen on the screen was much larger than what we saw on the news yesterday. The buildings I had seen yesterday were buried under the sinkhole.
“her… .”
Baek Woojin looked at the screen with a frown. At this rate, everything seemed to go through that hole.
“As you can see, the sinkholes are getting bigger and bigger, so we’ve summoned everyone we can call urgently. Thank you so much for agreeing to the call.”
Park Jin-kwang lowered his head once more, fixing his gaze on Baek Woojin.
‘I’m really glad Baek Woojin came.’
Jeokgaju and Daeyeonmunju were also called, but Jeokgaju entered a dungeon in Jeju Island, and Daeyeonmunju did not respond to the call.
However, it was really fortunate that Baek Woojin, who is rumored to be second to none, came.
“There are eight holes inside the sinkhole, like a rabbit hole, and deep morale flows, so you have to make a group and move with the divine power in it. First, we randomly formed a group, and we will call you from now on.”
At the same time as Park Jin-kwang’s words, the group list appeared on the screen. Most of them were organized into groups of the same guild, and there were two or three divinely powerful people in them.
‘I’m in Joe too.’
Baek Woojin’s eyes lit up as he looked at the screen. He was a member of the 8 group of 10 people, 5 of whom were divine powers, 3 were wizards, and the other one was a search officer.
-You don’t really need Joe.
‘Huh?’
-You have dark adaptation and black brilliance. A scam like that won’t affect you. Besides, there’s no way that search officer can do a better search than you. It would be much more convenient to move alone.
‘surely… .’
Baek Woojin nodded his head. As Darkness said, moving in a group would only slow down the speed.
-And that sinkhole… .
‘Huh?’
-no. You’ll find out if you go.
‘It’s refreshing.’
“Finally, Prosecutor Baek Woojin is the talented Kim Min-kyung… .”
“I will go in alone.”As Park Jin-kwang called out the names of Group 8, Baek Woojin raised his hand to indicate rejection.
“Hey, are you going alone?”
“Yes. I will go in alone, so please put the talented people in group 8 into another group.”
“However… .”
“I don’t think so.”
A young woman sitting on the opposite side of the chair jumped to her feet. With her sharp eyes, she looked at Baek Woojin.
“My name is Minkyung Kim from Daemyunghoe. I know that Prosecutor Baek Woojin is strong. Probably the strongest here. But this cannot be solved by force alone.”
Minkyung Kim pointed to the black fog around the sinkhole that was visible on the screen.
“Unlike yesterday, the area around the sinkhole is covered with the aura of death. If there is no divine ability, the aura will continue to be wasted, the power of the aura itself will be greatly reduced, and even the stamina and mental strength will drop exponentially. Unless you know what’s inside, Baek Woojin’s remarks are just overconfidence.”
“… … .”
Baek Woojin laughed a little. In general, Kim Min-kyung’s words were the theory of truth. However, as long as the subject was himself, that statement could not be a valid theory.
‘It’s natural not to know.’
Kim Min-kyung doesn’t know. He is saying that because he does not know what kind of power he has or what characteristics he has.
Looking around, everyone seemed to be thinking the same thing. She was looking at herself with a cheeky expression, the young man believing only helplessness.
They don’t know either. I have no idea what the battle in the front was like, or the battle with the brain sword. Those who have only heard stories in this warm place cannot understand.
Then you can show how you are different from them.
“Thanks for your concern, but I have the ability to block the energy of death, so moving alone is fast and efficient. In addition, the people who were eliminated from Group 8 will be placed in another group, so it will be safer.”
“Ugh… .”
Park Jin-kwang looked at Baek Woo-jin and Kim Min-kyung alternately and shook his head as if there was nothing he could do about it.
“Prosecutor Baek Woojin will enter Group 8 alone, and those who were originally in Group 8 will be transferred to another group one by one.”
It was a natural result. Even if Kim Min-kyung of Daemyunghoe was the best prospect, compared to Baek Woojin’s name, it was nothing more than a blood clot.
“But since Prosecutor Baek Woojin said he would go in alone… .”
“Whatever happens to me is my responsibility.”
“Well then, let’s continue the briefing again. The hole inside… .”
Baek Woojin nodded his head and focused on the screen Jinkwang Park explained. Kim Min-kyung had a face as if she didn’t care.
“profit… .”
Kim Min-kyung clenched her fists in anger and looked at Baek Woojin.
**
After the briefing, all talented people gathered in front of the sinkhole.
‘Are you just going in there? You idiot!’
Kim Min-kyung frowned as she looked at the sinkhole. Even though I didn’t go in, a terrible scam was already coming up.
In a place like this, Baek Woojin’s stupidity of moving alone without a divine power was frustrating and I couldn’t stand it. It was like leaving the much easier way and going back.
‘Anyway, strong people can’t help it.’
Something similar happened before. I expected Baek Woojin to be someone who knew the medical association, but he was also just a tyrant who believed in force and did not listen to others.
“Ugh… .”
“Is it too poisonous than I thought?”
“Isn’t it unreasonable to go here alone?”
The talented people standing in front of the sink frowned at the viciousness of morale.
No matter how strong Baek Woojin was, it seemed that he could not penetrate that place with his bare body.
“We will prepare to enter. Holy powers, activate your abilities!”
At Jinkwang Park’s cry, the divine powers activated their respective abilities. The pure white light spread like concentric circles and began to erase the morale on the floor.
“Oh oh!”
“The fraud is being erased!”
“It is convenient to have divine powers as well.”
The combatants sent admiring glances as they felt the warmth of the divine abilities.
Baek Woojin walked in when the seven groups had finished preparing to enter, spreading the divinity.
jerk.
Baek Woojin received everyone’s attention and approached a place that was buzzing with fraud.
Everyone looked at Baek Woojin with tension and anticipation. He thought he, too, would be bitten by the words that he was going alone, with his face hardened by this monstrous deceit.
However, something completely different happened to everyone’s expectations.
Aww!
The moment Baek Woojin stepped on his morale, a black glare rose from his body.
The thick darkness that spread like a cloak worn by a king divided morale and created a black path.
Even with the light of the divine powers, it was all about pushing back morale, but Baek Woojin’s black light pierced the morale itself.
“Ah… .”
Kim Min-kyung rubbed her eyes with a puzzled expression on her face. He couldn’t understand what he was looking at right now.
she’s not the only one She widened her eyes as if she had witnessed something impossible for everyone in this place to be.
Baek Woojin gestured towards Park Jin-kwang, who had his chin wide open.
“Everyone has come, let’s start.”
