Hoarding in Hell Novel

Lee Ji-tae momentarily did not understand the situation.

"I was wondering if it would have arrived by now."

Hyunmoo said, sitting on the broken von golem's head, waving his hand.

Taebaek Dungeon 1st target.

Hyunmoo came and sat first at the very arrival point that the 5-star dungeon was considered clear even if it arrived up to here.

He looked a little tired, but showed no signs of being injured. The lapis lazuli team also found Hyunmoo and started to roar.

He said, "...you arrived early. Were you waiting?"

"I didn't mean to wait, I still have business left."

Prior to the expedition, Taeseong's team showed Hyunmoo a map of the Taebaek dungeon as well.

It was a map that Lee Ji-tae and Tae-seong made over many years of hard work.

It was thanks to the map that Hyunmoo was able to come without getting lost. But Lee Ji-tae did not expect this situation at all.

From the beginning, the goal of this expedition was exploration, not attack. The lapis lazuli team had no choice but to move forward, closely looking around, and avoid dangerous monsters to avoid unnecessary danger.

'Did you break through by yourself?'

For ordinary people, attacking a 5-star dungeon solo sounds crazy, but for a 5-star hunter, nothing is impossible.

Moreover, most of the team members Kang Hyunmoo brought were 1 or 2 star hunters. It wouldn't help much in terms of power, so it was reasonable to leave it alone and move forward. Then I could understand what came first.

"But what business do you have left?"

Instead of answering, Hyunmoo chuckled.

"Oh, how about Taebaek Dungeon? Did you see the possibility of changing into a fluid type?"

"...I don't know. Difficulty: After increasing to Easy, the appearance rate of the Sculpture Golem increased slightly and the structure became more complicated, but it was at the expected level. There was no structural change unique to the floating dungeon. yo. This."

Lee Ji-tae recalled Yoo Seong-yeon's team and said.

"I thought that the fact that Yoo Seong-yeon's team returned early was a sign of an anomaly, so I looked into it more closely, but couldn't find any major anomalies. Did Kang Hyunmoo find anything?"

"Hmm, well. I don't come here often enough to really compare things."

"Okay. Did you notice anything unusual?"

"Unusual... Hmm. Oh, come to think of it, I saw a statue golem on horseback."

Lee Ji-tae made a surprised expression.

"The golem is called a knight. If it was the first time you saw it, it would have been difficult to deal with it alone, but how did you get through it?"

"Um, should I say I got through it... or should I say it's still in progress..."

"Yes?"

thud. Kururu... … Then a roar rang out.

Everyone's eyes turned to where the sound came from. Hyunmoo robbed his seat and stood up.

"It seems that the time has come to end that side too. Oh, if you want to go out first, you can leave. It's not like I've been waiting for Lee Ji-tae."

Hyunmoo turned his back and headed towards the source of the sound. As soon as Hyunmoo took a step, a burst of noise resounded.

Structures formed by long corridors were shattered, and in an instant, something struck Hyunmoo. Tom was in the hands of Hyunmoo, who had just been empty-handed.As soon as Hyunmoo's body was engulfed in purple, something running towards Hyunmoo was shattered and scattered all over the place in an instant.

As the shards scattered like a shotgun, the Lapis lazuli team agilely bowed or erected a shield. Lee Ji-tae grabbed the debris that flew in front of him.

Golem. It was also a fragment of a night golem.

'Did you know that the Night Golem would come this way?'

The speed of the night golem is frighteningly fast.

Its size, weight, and unbelievable speed make it a powerful weapon in itself. If you are ambushed before you even notice the presence, there will always be victims. However, Hyunmoo also had a bewildered expression.

"Uh, Mr. Surprise."

Hyunmoo grunted and put his ride back. Lee Ji-tae couldn't tell if those words were an expression of humility or a different direction of bravado.

'But if you're serious... … Enough to destroy the Night Golem in a random way?'

Hyunmoo's momentary lift up of a ganggi was something he had never seen before.

A river that covers the entire body. Even the Red Butterfly with the Auror Master skill could only cover the limbs used for defense or attack with Auror.

"Oh, Kang Hyunmoo, branch manager!"

"You've already caught it! We've got it all!"

"Are you going to lose the last shot like that?"

At that moment, an unbelievable sound was heard in Lee Ji-tae's ears again. They were hunters belonging to the Almighty Alliance. Lapis lapis lazuli team hunters' faces also stood absurd.

"It's noisy. Children. It's a different story when you catch someone you can't catch and run away."

"No, I thought I only had to smash the head of the guy on top. Who would have thought that he could run away with only his horse?"

Hyunmoo grunted and banged the golem's core in the shattered shards.

The hunters who grabbed the nucleus giggled and put it in a large bag. The core of the golem is applied to the high-efficiency battery industry.

Lee Ji-tae counted the number of hunters on Kang Hyunmoo's team.

'Everyone is alive.'

Some of them were being dragged around with their limbs shattered, perhaps because of being attacked by a night golem. But even as he screamed in pain, he didn't look like he had lost his morale at all. Rather, they were exchanging swear words and jokes.

For four days, in the dungeon, and even after living day and night with monsters that can kill them in an instant, it's a good scam.

It's not normal.

No, on the contrary, they looked a lot more alive than when they were outside.

Even in Taeseong, it is difficult to maintain morale if you are not on the level of the Lapis Lazuli team.

Then someone appeared from nowhere and started to heal the injured Hunter.

The Hunter, who had been screaming with abusive language, looked at the opponent with tears in his eyes as the healing began.

Lee Ji-tae's expression was surprised again.

"Priest John?"

John's appearance was unrecognizable.

It was understandable that the uniform of the priest, who had always been neatly dressed, had become full of them. Because if you roll around in a dungeon, you have no choice but to do so.

However, he could not even imagine that he was wearing a helmet and a belt over his priest's uniform, and even had a submachine gun in his armpit.

He was even tying his messy hair back in a ponytail. He had a completely different impression.

"Priest John, how the hell..."

John made eye contact with Lee Ji-tae, but instead of answering, he concentrated on healing.

Of course, Lee Ji-tae had no intention of interfering with the healing. He naturally turned his gaze to Hyunmoo. Hyunmoo said calmly.

"He came and picked it up."

Are you a stray cat?

Lee Ji-tae almost said that, but she managed to swallow it.

I knew that Yoo Seong-yeon's team returned early. I don't know why John remained, but he was just lucky if he was safe thanks to being with Kang Hyunmoo.

Finally, after John had healed, he stood up. Johan approached Lee Ji-tae and greeted him lightly.

"Mr. Lee Ji-tae."

"Priest John. I'm glad you're safe."

Johan's gaze slowly turned to Hyunmoo. Lee Ji-tae couldn't figure out what the emotions in those gazes meant.

“Thanks to Kang Hyunmoo, we were able to get through.”

“…I see. Well, it seems that everyone is gathered, so let’s go back. Let’s go out and talk.”

John nodded his head.

Lee Ji-tae thought that Johan would naturally go to the Lapis Lazuli team and look at his teammates. 'Cause he's always been like that.

However, Johan turned around and checked the condition of Kang Hyunmoo's teammates. The attitude of lovingly caring for them was completely different from before, when only inorganic treatment was done.

'What the hell happened?'

John even spoke a few crude Korean words and asked about his condition.

Lee Ji-tae couldn't understand the situation at all. Meanwhile, Lee Ji-tae waited several years for John to open the door of his heart and stand up on his own.

Because he was the man he deserved.

But Hyunmoo seemed to have completely tamed John in just a few days.

"Let's go!"

Hyunmoo shouted, and the team ran to them with cheers.

“Chief, we bought beef because we worked hard. Beef!”

"No, it's just beef taryeong while earning like that? Buy something more expensive with your money!"

"Is there any meat that tastes better than beef?"

"The expensive beef that the branch manager buys is the best."

Hyunmoo and his team took the lead. It is true that Lee Ji-tae is the expedition leader, so he was the last to appear, but it was more of a concern than a concern.

John also left without looking back. He seemed to be completely out of the way.

It was only later that Lee Ji-tae realized the meaning of John's gaze and bit his lip.

It's not respect, it's not friendship, it's not comradeship.

He was loyal.

***

As soon as the hunters started coming out, people began to flock. Yoo Seong-yeon was the first to take the lead.They were surprised that Kang Hyunmoo's team had been there for four days, but the bestiality they faced with John made the impact even greater.

Soon after, Lee Ji-tae appeared and it was soon revealed that Kang Hyunmoo's team had reached the hearthstone.

The shock spread to all of the waiting personnel. Attacking the 5-star dungeon was such a feat that it was registered as the main news story last year.

However, even though Kang Hyunmoo entered Taeseong's strategy well, he succeeded in attacking it on the first try, even with 1 or 2 star team members.

A change was taking place in the clan power map in Korea.

'I knew it would happen someday, but... … .'

Yoo Seong-yeon thought back to when Hyunmoo finished the Taean 4-star dungeon flood alone.

A huge wave was coming. Some people will be swept away by the waves and some will only dip their feet, but one thing is certain.

At least as long as they live on this land, no one will be able to avoid the waves without getting wet.

Just three months before the Northern Expedition, a cataclysmic cataclysm was taking place.

Even a year ago, this was something no one could have imagined.

***

Hyunmoo's car was speeding down the highway. The cars saw the fast-paced Bugatti and fled, terrified.

However, Hyunmoo's visual acuity and reflexes that were strengthened as a battle helper could all be avoided without people needing to avoid it.

Instead, the speeding tickets were dropping in real time. Hyunmoo, who was paying taxes to the state in a distorted way, suddenly spoke up.

"So, what are you going to do? Priest John?"

John, who was in the seat next to him, gave him a tired look.

"Are you asking again? Join you?"

"haha."

Hyunmoo laughed instead of answering. John bit his lip, but as he had previously answered, he was unwilling to refuse as sternly as he had been before.

The expedition with Hyunmoo was oddly comfortable. In the frightening situation of a 5-star dungeon, even though there were loads of things to bear.

Hyunmoo's leisurely flair and the insane atmosphere of the hunter team may have been a good match.

"Why me?"

"What?"

"Why me? Why are you putting such a burden on me? Is it because I'm a therapist? Or do you believe I'll give you some soul rest? I'm not that great of a person."

Anna said it was because he was the strongest.

But Anna was wrong. Johan said that if Hyunmoo expected that from him, he would say no. I was afraid to fall into loneliness again, but I got used to it.

"I don't want to take responsibility anymore. Now that's too heavy. No more..."

John stopped talking. Hyunmoo broke his back and laughed out loud. He barely let go of the steering wheel.

John couldn't figure out why he was smiling. Hyunmoo barely held back his laughter and opened his mouth.

"You have great confidence in yourself. Priest John."

"……Yes?"

"To feel a great sense of responsibility is to believe that you are such a big person. But that's overly self-conscious. Priest. I don't expect that from you."

"then……."

"I'll answer you, because you're too weak."
