Hoarding in Hell Novel
Chapter 149 the devil calls (5)
John contorted his face.
"Are you threatening me now?"
"It's not a threat. Priest."
Hyunmoo said with a soothing smile.
"This is just a list of facts. Team leader Yoo Seong-yeon wrote the return order because he thought that Priest John was not in a situation where the battle would continue. And if I continue the battle with these team members, casualties are obvious. It's work."
Johan imagined a situation where he ran into three von golems like the one that Yoo Seong-yeon's team encountered earlier.
The results were negative. No matter how Hyunmoo blocked one, the other team members couldn't handle it.
"And Priest John doesn't want to go out anyway."
Hyunmoo said as he put the return order back into his arms. It was just as Hyunmoo said.
But Johan couldn't figure out why Hyunmoo drove the team in this way.
"Why do you even want to do that?"
"Yeah? Why? Then why did the priest stay? Wasn't he trying to break the dungeon to the end?"
"I am……."
John was speechless. Because he couldn't say he was about to commit suicide.
Of course, he never thought that he would go all the way.
Now that the withdrawal symptoms are gone, he has no reason to go to extremes.
John's answer was questionable. Hyunmoo didn't let John think about it like that.
"I've told you before. Priest John. I wish the priest would be with me."
Hyunmoo said, pointing to the Almighty Hunters who were approaching.
“Now, don’t these hunters need a priest more than anything else?”
"I think it's a return spell, not me."
Hyunmoo burst into laughter.
"If even one of my team members asks me to return, I'll do it without hesitation. But if I say I'll keep going, what do I do? Priest John seems to have no choice but to join us."
John was speechless. Are you all crazy? Judging from his condition, it seems that he has already passed the hurdle of death several times.
It's still the beginning, but at this point, no matter how many potions you bring, you can't stand it.
John suddenly remembered what Anna had said to him. Even though it was her words she had said many years ago, those words still lingered in her ears.
'The reason we want to go with you is... … .'
As Anna says, she shouldn't be traveling with Kang Hyunmoo herself. But at the same time, it was also the reason why I couldn't refuse Hyunmoo's words.
John bit his lip and muttered like a sigh.
"Only until we reach the hearthstone."
Hyunmoo clenched his fists.
"Of course."
Everything was as expected.'John is a person who can never act in vain when he has to take responsibility.'
That's why he didn't belong to any organization and didn't form a team.
Occasionally, even when belonging to the expedition, insisting only on a support role and not actively joining was also to avoid creating unnecessary relationships.
Because he couldn't let go of the guilt he felt for his comrades who died in Al Mezari.
Even trying to die in the dungeon was thought to be an attempt to share the souls of those who died without a single confession.
Lee Ji-tae believed that John would one day be freed from guilt and become a self-responsible person.
Of course he might one day be. However, Hyunmoo opted for a faster and simpler method.
He forcibly bridles John.
If there is any responsibility, John can neither run away nor die.
John raised his pale eyes and looked at Hyunmoo.
He said until they reach the hearthstone, but it is enough for John to take charge of them even for a moment.
He intended to deceive even if he purposely wandered off the road if he was not sure. Because he had the confidence to tie him up so that he could not escape as much as he could.
"Uh, isn't he, Priest John?"
At that moment, the hunters of Kang Hyunmoo's team arrived. They looked surprised when they realized that the person they were talking to was John while talking to Hyunmoo.
He had no reason for Johan to remain here, who would be with the team. Only Seo Ji-hoo rolled his eyes and looked at Hyunmoo.
He said, 'Actually, no matter how much I thought about it, I thought I wouldn't be able to make it to the hearth... … Did you even have this in mind?'
Even when Hyunmoo presented the goal, I thought it was a joke. Or was it the bluff he usually used to play?
But aside from being exhausted, the consumption of potions and equipment was almost impossible to keep up with.
However, as John joined, the probability of success increased significantly. In addition, the hunters of the team that achieved radical growth by breaking through the limits were full of morale.
Seo Ji-hoo got a little goosebumps.
'I'm not saying it's empty, are we really going to break through the 5-star dungeon together?'
Hyunmoo cheered the mood by applauding. Then he started pulling something out of his inventory. It was a gun and equipment I had never seen before.
“Okay, then Priest John will also join our team, so we must provide the necessary equipment.”
They were the products of hell, refined for John.
***
The so-called 'rook', a solid wall-shaped structure, was erected in the middle of a long straight corridor. There were only traces of scorching around, but nothing was visible.
Even the same golem was attacked, so there were crumbs of white golems scattered around.
"Rook fires a straight flash of light at an approaching enemy. If it hits, um... it hurts quite a bit. It has an infinite range and fires until the enemy dies."
Hyunmoo looked at Rook from afar and said. Seo Ji-hoo looked at the absurd enemy's attack method as if it were ridiculous.
"Then how do you attack?"
"A number of people charge at once, and while a few are split, one has to destroy it."
This is a method that Lee Ji-tae would never do.
So, it is said that Lee Ji-tae chose to bypass the look every time instead of breaking through the look unless it was really unavoidable. Because there could be unnecessary victims.
Hyunmoo glanced back. I could see the hunters hiding behind Seo Ji-hoo all at once.
Hyunmoo smiled and tapped John's shoulder, who was lying on the floor.
"Let's get started."
bang! Instead of answering, gunshots rang out. A bullet flew out in an instant and hit the rook with a popping sound. In an instant, a pure white light shone through the cracks carved into the look.
John did not stop and pulled his trigger one after another. The cracks got stronger as the bullets hit the exact spot inside the elaborately formed bullet impact group. After a while, the look exploded with an explosion of light.
"Another strategy is to snipe and defeat him from a distance he can't catch."
The Hunters looked at John and the submachine gun he was carrying with a puzzled expression.
"Can you be a sniper with such a short gun?"
Hyunmoo answered instead of John, who did not understand.
"If you're a good shooter, what can't you do?"
It was kind of humble, but Hyunmoo looked at the submachine gun that Johan was holding with a proud expression on his face.
By the time he showed his pistol shooting to Chief of Staff Park Gyu, Hyunmoo had already developed a submachine gun.
The reason I didn't show him was because of Hyunmoo's iron rule that there must be at least two gaps between what he sells on the market and what he owns.
White magic bullets and submachine guns. If this was the case, it was actually a gap of two or more steps.
"It's a great skill. Priest."
"...the gun fits well."
"Be humble."
John said nothing. Hyunmoo and the Hunters moved and checked Rook's condition.
There were no major damaged areas other than the point where the impact group was formed.
If you match the cracks, it would be possible to assemble them back to their original state.
"If attacking from a distance is a valid attack method, why didn't Lee Ji-tae do that?"
"There's no such thing as a long-range weapon that can do that much damage."
There were bows, crossbows, and even slingers, but those weapons couldn't do much damage to Rook.
This is because the golems in this so-called dungeon were themselves 'attribute monsters'.
Of course, it was a property that was difficult to recognize as a physical property.
I didn't pay much attention to it because it's an attribute that can be defeated even if it's just a good skill, but on the other hand, if you paid more attention to the attribute, you could attack it much more easily.
In addition, if it was the magic attack power and light attribute contained in the white magic bullet that John used, it was much easier.
'Let's see... … It's because 12 white magic bullets went in to defeat one Rook.'
It seems that about 200 million went into one battle. It's a really bad fight.
Of course, the number 200 million is based on the selling price, although the actual price is incredibly low.
John seemed to be a little concerned about that too.
"But are there enough bullets? Can't keep doing this..."
"Don't worry."
Hyunmoo grabbed John's hand and started dropping white magic bullets from his inventory on top of it.
In an instant, white magic bullets filled John's hand and began to flow down to the floor.
Although he did not know the price of white magic bullets, he knew that it was much higher than normal magic bullets, but he had a slightly tired expression on his face.
"There is nothing lacking. Our team has one."The hunters didn't say anything, but everyone had a pistol and a pistol filled with white magic bullets.
Is that all? In line with this expedition, Hyunmoo also changed the equipment of his teammates to ones with high magic attack power. Everyone says they need spare equipment.
But no one could strike as effective as John.
"Then let's proceed. Priest John."
Hyunmoo said cheerfully.
“Lee Ji-tae will continue to push the road that has no choice but to detour, so it might be possible to get there sooner than planned. Until then, let’s build a serious friendship.”
John said nothing. His fingers that touched the bullet moved in a jumble of motion.
Moving with Kang Hyunmoo's team was more comfortable than I thought. Not physically, but emotionally.
'What has changed?'
What is different about Yoo Seong-yeon's team? There is a slight difference in skill, but that's it.
But there was the biggest difference.
It was the existence of Kang Hyunmoo.
'I can't escape.'
Whatever he says, Hyunmoo will drag him along, and he has no choice but to do what he tells him to do.
Rather than protecting the hunters from the dungeon, I felt like I was protecting them from a tyrant named Kang Hyunmoo.
'Anna.'
***
“Why do I go with you… because you are the strongest?”
John looked at Anna as if he was embarrassed. He is only a support worker, and all he does is treat and protect him. He can't do anything on his own.
But she didn't seem to think so.
"It's not a level story. John. You know nothing, but you're a strange person. You'll be the only person in the world who awakens your skills to prevent other people from dying, even when your life is at risk."
"Other healers..."
"Other people, I'm not part-timer. John. You're the only person I know. Don't think of anything to say about my narrow relationship. My relationships are only with these members of the unit."
Anna said, pinching John's cheek.
"Even if we die, you can be a direct ticket to heaven, an heir to an unfulfilled goal, and an avenger who will pay you back if you die unjustly. Why not have such high-end insurance?"
Anna smiled brightly.
"Am I being too honest?"
John didn't answer. Anna was wrong. She wasn't that strong herself.
But now, by John's side, there were little protectors to protect and a tyrant who wielded himself as he pleased.
Rather, it gave John a strange sense of security.
She probably meant something different from Anna, but she seemed to know why she wanted Anna to go with her.
***
4 days after that.
Lee Ji-tae's lapis lazuli team has arrived at the Taebaek Dungeon Hearthstone.
"Oh, you just came."
