Hoarding in Hell Novel

"Butler."

Suddenly, Lenian was sitting on Hyunmoo's head.

"What are you doing now? Why are you tormenting our poor rat?"

“I think the butler needs to calm down a little in the eyes of the fairy.”

Leni Ann beckoned, and Kazat groaned as he waved his staff.

With a click, the wand struck Hyunmoo's forehead.

It wasn't painful, but it seemed to be quite a shock to Kazat.

Kazat put down his staff and fell flat on his face.

Yes. Lenian can also use skills that Hyunmoo can use.

Controlling a family would be a piece of cake.

"Do you think I'm crazy?"

"Yes."

"I keep trying to die? I haven't died 10 times yet. It's nothing compared to when I was dealing with Kirsson. It's getting closer and closer to my destination."

"Yeah. I think that's the problem."

Lenian leaned over Hyunmoo's head and lowered his head. In Hyunmoo's eyes, Lenian's face stood upside down.

"Now the butler is insane. He's throwing himself around as if he's been addicted. It's different from when he approached it with the utmost care and plan. Do you know what the butler's purpose is now?"

"Yeah, the crystal flower..."

Hyunmoo bit his mouth. It was then that I realized what the problem was.

He was just trying to get as close to the crystal as possible.

Not for breaking the quest.

Lenian asked with a smile.

"Didn't you ever try to find out where the widow spider is?"

"The widow spider is definitely there. The web was there, and the traces are clear."

"You didn't even look elsewhere in the first place, did you?"

"...under the circumstances."

"Yeah. Let's say it's there. But the butler just leans into the building recklessly. If the butler were normal, would you have thought that you would have to fight the widow spider in a narrow and closed space?"

no.

What Lenian was saying was clear.

Now Hyunmoo was not normal.

something… … To be precise, I was forcibly immersed in crystal painting.

The most appalling part was that Hyunmoo believed that he had justified it and made a rational judgment for it.

"It doesn't seem to make any sense to meet the widow spider like that right now. And before the butler actually meets the widow spider, it seems like a very bad thing will happen."

Hyunmoo seemed to know what Lenian was talking about.

Hyunmoo crossed his arms and pondered. But at the same time, he was plagued by feelings of refuting Lenian's words and the urge to run to the place where the crystal painter was at any moment.

Although Lenian said that Hyunmoo was unnecessarily obsessed with crystal art, that was what Hyunmoo was aiming for from the beginning.

There are powerful monsters around the crystal. More and more monsters are being twisted.

If it became more dangerous the further towards the center, it was clear that the widow spider was closest to the crystal flower.

If it's something you'll get anyway, wouldn't it be one stone or two to kill the widow spider and get the crystal flower?

"Lenian, but..."

At that moment, Kazat struck Hyunmoo's head with his staff again. I don't know when I picked it up.

Kazat was now very foamy and seemed to collapse.

“What the 'but' can do in this situation is that the butler hasn't come to his senses yet.”Hyunmoo decided to give it some more thought.

It was the first time that Lenian, who had taken off his crane and ran away from battle, was so deeply involved in the quest.

It must have been that Lenian saw the situation in which he had to step forward. Hyunmoo suppressed his reluctance and thought from Lenian's point of view.

He certainly has a situation where there is a widow queen spider, but he's never seen it in person.

In such uncertainty, Hyunmoo risked his life several times. This was an undeniable fact.

Hyunmoo had no choice but to keep in mind the possibility that he might have been forcibly obsessed with something.

It was more unpleasant than trying to kill himself himself.

"Is the sweet smell from crystal flowers the problem?"

Hyunmoo seemed to be attracted to it, just as other bugs were entangled around the crystal flower.

However, he could not understand that the effect persisted even when he died and was resurrected.

But it also had an appropriate answer.

"curse."

The 'Curse: Spider's Web' was granted at the beginning of the quest.

[The cobwebs you can't escape from are getting tighter and tighter towards you.]

At the time, I thought that the area where I could set my feet would gradually decrease or I would suffer physical damage.

But it seems that expression was much more ideological than I thought.

The curse seemed to have planted the purpose of crystallization in Hyunmoo's mind, and made it impossible to get rid of it.

The cobwebs get more and more tangled the more they struggle, and eventually they end up falling apart.

Hyunmoo was like that now.

Hyunmoo shook his head.

"But it is..."

Just right. beaten for the third time

"The direction you're thinking is right, so don't think about anything else. Butler."

When you tell someone not to think of an elephant, you end up thinking about an elephant. It was not a very good idea to forcefully forget.

It was a more difficult problem than I expected.

Even though Hyunmoo recognized that this was an unusual situation, he continued to look for excuses and rationalize them.

"Okay. I understand. Now this is a trap set by Montstril. This is it."

"The solution to a problem starts with recognizing that there is a problem. You're doing well, butler. The fairy will praise you."

"But... ah, don't hit me for a second and listen! It's been said that this curse is getting tighter and tighter as time goes by. Then I can't stand still, right?"

The terrible thing about this curse is that it is impossible to know whether even what is being said is a self-rationalization or a rational judgment.

But Lenian made Hyunmoo shut up in an instant.

"What do you think will happen if the butler gets close to the crystal flower?"

Hyunmoo was startled. When I crawled into the building, it was the closest to the crystal flower.

The memory was dazed and hazy, as if in a dream.

When he crawled into the narrow crystal moss burrow, Hyunmoo's whole body had been razed by the crystal moss, and his limbs were cut off, like a chisel.

Nevertheless, he was constantly dragging his boat and crawling, longing for the sweet scent of crystal flowers.

At that time he was most likely still if he hadn't been killed by something.

'Then what should I do?'

Toxic blood is meaningless now. There is not enough fuel to start the fire.

Are you going to blow it up at all? There's a little bit of explosives, but not enough to destroy a building.

Above all else, when I got close enough to install explosives, I couldn't resist the temptation of Sujeonghwa.

This is a level made so that you do not just die or wake up.

Hyunmoo thought that this ordeal itself was a huge trap.

"then……."

Hyunmoo took a deep breath. There was only one way that came to mind right now.

“It must be my lack of mental power.”

The method Hyunmoo chose was simple.

"I'll have to kill them all until I find a way."

***

A blowing dust storm colored the sky yellow.

A building embracing crystal flowers stood in the middle of the ruins like a tombstone on which even the inscription had been erased.

Hyunmoo stayed away from the building and watched.

It was a street where the scent could not reach. He was tolerable if only the scent did not reach him, but as time went on, he felt the presence of crystal flowers swell in his head.

The more he thought, the more he did.

"Damn..."

All I could think of was that Montstrille had made it for him.

'Is Montstril's intention to continue his quest like this forever?'

Of course, Hyunmoo wasn't just playing around either.

The policy of 'kill everything once' was clear and simple, and it was also suitable for relieving stress.

The level was also raised while killing monsters in the distance where the scent could not reach. If I keep getting stronger like this, I wondered if I could find a way to destroy the building.

Current level is 45.

Now, just level 5 and Hyunmoo will learn the ultimate skill.

However, the level up was getting slower and slower.

Before he could master his ultimate, it seemed that he would plunge himself into crystal, or he would be utterly cursed.

He was still fighting, and he was surprised that he was close to the building before he knew it.

"Oh, where did you think you'd get some pesticides?"

'Wouldn't it be easier to catch insects by adding pesticides to the poisonous blood?' It was desperate enough to even think about it.

But even though he was a Gramoxson, it was unlikely that he would be stronger than Poison Blood.

"If only the widow spider could be pulled out..."

"He's really alive."

Right next door, as soon as he heard a whisper in his ear, Hyunmoo grabbed a tom and swung it around. But his opponent didn't touch it at all.

Before Hyunmoo could even wield his tom, the opponent quickly spread the distance and watched calmly.

'Fast.'

She was an unidentified woman.

A cold sweat broke out on Hyunmoo's back.

She felt that she had become more sensitive now, but she didn't even notice until she whispered.

[Sanghyun's Face Spider (LV 61)]

[The effect of the title 'Hell's Strongest' will increase the level-to-level stats.]

She had the appearance of a graceful human woman, but upon closer inspection, she was not.

At first glance, she was a woman in a gothic dress with a slightly old-fashioned feel. But under her frilled puffy skirt, six spider legs were moving silently.

Hyunmoo felt her head throb at the sweet smell of her moment.

The scent of crystal flowers was thickly permeated on her face spider's body.

She hastily covered her nose, but she had already inhaled her scent. After she sniffs, her mistakes become more frequent. However, her opponent was faster and stronger than Hyunmoo.

Hyunmoo was prepared for her death.

However, the face spider did not move any more.

She said, "She remembers the smell of crystal flowers, but she doesn't come right in, and she's a smart human being."

"what?"

Hyunmoo started preparing for her surprise once she was relieved that the bastard wasn't chasing him.If he ever attacked me, I was thinking of tying him up with a spider's web and then stabbing him in poison blood with a tom. It was cliché, but it was the best way.

However, in an instant, the long spider's legs slipped out from under the skirt, and Hyunmoo quickly removed the webs that were secretly scattered.

"I didn't come here to fight."

Playing with webs in front of spiders seems to have been unreasonable from the beginning.

Hyunmoo didn't like the fact that his opponent had a one-sided advantage, but he was willing to talk, so he decided to listen.

Inmyeon Spider immediately took out the business.

"What is your purpose? Are you here to pick crystal flowers?"

Hyunmoo thought for a moment.

'After all, it must be a guy related to the widow spider.'

But he couldn't figure out why he was trying to talk to him instead of just attacking him.

If this guy is also a member of the Monstrill family, then of course he will have to attack himself.

Hyunmoo slowly opened his mouth.

"okay."

"Good."

The face spider spoke right away.

"We're trying to go to the place where the crystal flower is... but it's not easy. If you're heading there, I think you can do our favor. Instead, we'll help you."

"Help?"

The face spider nodded her head.

“Do you know what a crystal flower is?”

Hyunmoo tilted his head. There was little Hyunmoo knew other than that the crystal flower was a honey jar that attracts enormous worms.

As Hyunmoo didn't seem to know, Inmyeon Gummy quietly started talking.

"The unbroken crystal flower is the grave and cradle of all living things."

life and cradle.

Hyunmoo listened to the unexpected.

"The crystal flower emits a sweet scent that dazzles the living creatures around it. The mana emitted from the crystal flower itself is not dangerous, but its deceptive effect alone is very lethal."

"I know that. It makes people so stupid."

"The effect of crystallization is more than you think. The structure from which crystallization blooms is itself a world for crystallization."

The face spider sharply continued her speech.

"Creatures deceived by crystal crystals don't care about harming themselves and just focus on approaching crystal crystals. The hard quartz and crystal moss tore their wings and skin, and even their limbs fall apart and become narrower. You go inside by shaving yourself."

It was a familiar description. Because Hyunmoo went through something like that just before.

"When it enters the 'womb' where the crystal flower exists, the living thing finally sees the crystal flower. But by then... it is difficult to see it as an independent creature."

The face spider sighed and stared at the crystal-clear empty structure.

"Once they get there, living things with only basic reproductive functions completely settle there. Then, they form interspecies relationships that are not normally possible with living things that have already entered, conceive life, give birth and die and become food. Their offspring mate with each other and repeat birth and death. That gigantic crystal moss structure is a small world created like that."

"Hmm……."

Hyunmoo thought of the chimera-like bugs that roamed near the crystallized structures. It seems that they were creatures created by crystal flowers.

'It's like a story from a myth.'

It was awe-inspiring and terrifying at the same time.

Hyunmoo somehow seemed to understand why Montstrille gave him this quest. Crystals, and this quest itself was like Montstril.

A seductive being who wants to be noticed, loved, and shine most splendidly.

'That's why the name of the quest is the red flesh.'

“So I want to make a suggestion to you.”

Inmyeon Gummy said to Hyunmoo with a gloomy expression.

"I want to ask for the rescue of our queen who has gone into the womb. It seems possible if you keep coming back to life as many times as you can."

The corners of Hyunmoo's lips rose at Inmyeon Gummy's suggestion. It seemed that he had finally found a strand that would break the quest.
