Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 218 When the stars cast their shadows (4)

The Broken Star, the ordeal of Ghaul.

Although it was a sudden offer, Hyunmoo did not panic.

'It's faster than I thought, but it's still moving.'

Now at this crossroads, four stars had gathered and were fighting for their own name.

Three of them are moving to force Hyunmoo's recruits, and Montstril is with him to protect Hyunmoo.

In this situation, the broken star, Ghaulman, did not move.

Therefore, Hyunmoo was thinking that Ghaul would also intervene in some form.

'Gaul... … He was the most mysterious star.'

The starving star or the conquering star's desires are not honest or even transparent. What they wanted and desire from Hyunmoo was clearly revealed.

In the case of Weeping Star, I think Hyunmoo's self-destructive desire is involved.

Whispering Star is trying to make one side by subtle and seductive means, not by coercive means.

However, the broken star rarely intervenes, and he never showed any desire.

'Ghaul said he had the qualities of a conspiracy theorist and a conspiracy theorist.'

In retrospect, it was Ghaul who gave Hyunmoo the first shard, and it was Gowl who nearly passed on to Montstril and also stopped it. It was clear that he had something for Hyunmoo.

I don't know what it is though.

'No, even if that's the case, he'd want to be part of his family.'

Hyunmoo, who was trying to think so simply, shook his head.

If Ghaul was a conspirator, it wouldn't be that simple. To predict this, he had to predict two or three numbers ahead.

'It is such an ordeal of Ghaul.'

There is nothing that reveals the desires of the stars more clearly than the ordeal.

Although the situation was not good, Hyunmoo was convinced that this was an opportunity.

'Anyway, when did the ordeal come while looking at my situation, what?'

Ghaul's revealing of his intentions, even a little, meant that he was also taking risks.

Hyunmoo believed that unless Ghaul tried to ruin him, he wouldn't put on an ordeal of insane difficulty.

"I will accept it."

Hyunmoo accepted Gaul's ordeal.

[August, the star of monsters, is watching you.]

[Wailing Star, Verde, is watching you.]

[The starving star, Yogulem, is watching you.]

[Moonstril, whispering star, is watching you.]

[The conquering star, Ardan, is watching you.]

In addition to the stars that I always watch with interest, there was also the star of the monsters I had seen a long time ago, Augusto.

He doesn't seem to covet himself because he doesn't pay much attention to it, but the situation seems to have been very exciting.

'It will be fun. Watching others suffer from afar.'The quest notification window came to mind with Hyunmoo's fishy smile. And the moment I saw the notification window, the smile disappeared from Hyunmoo's face.

[Quest occurs!]

[The quest 'The Darkest Place of the Stars' begins.]

[Kill at least five Apostles.]

five.

Hyunmoo's lips twitched, but he was able to capture her heart. Anyway, the goal of catching and killing the apostle has not changed. A vaguely vague goal has only become clear.

And one more thing became clear: the number of apostles attacking the shelter was at least five.

Five things reaching the Alhugin level or higher.

"At this level, it's a boring level for an ordeal."

Hyunmoo murmured, pretending to be strong. However, the notification window was not finished.

[Curse: Split is granted.]

[Every time blood touches the ground, the Cursed appears.]

[If the damned kill you, they will permanently replace you.]

***

Kawaro of Satiation and Sloth thought he could catch Kang Hyunmoo and kneel before him before half a day was over.

However, an hour after the start of the surprise attack, Hyunmoo's expression hardened when he said that he had not even found Hyunmoo, and half a day later, he was filled with doubts when he said that only a part of the body was left in his power.

"What happened? The other stars didn't show any signs of moving."

If there were a lot of corpses lying around, they would have thought that the conquering star, Ardan, had moved. Because they can do nothing but kill and burn whatever they want.

If there was no body at all, the weeping star, Werd, would have thought that it had moved. The Weeping Star calls the corpses into its own circle.

However, such an awkward situation was not expected.

"I wonder if they hide from our view?"

"It can be. Kawaro-sama."

A thin, slender girl's voice came from outside the kiln. But the voice came from a place higher than the kiln.

"They say they've found spiders. Maybe the Whispering Star is interested in this matter. With her help, it's possible to hide behind the scenes."

"If it's a whispering star, Montstril? Her agent would be dead."

Kawaro muttered like that, and then nodded her head.

"No... Rather, that's why I don't know if he's greedy for this guy. It's like he came up with a card that came from a comeback at the time he thought he was completely gone."

"It won't be as easy as you might think if the stars are on the side of the target. Besides, this underground structure is complex and deep-seated."

A soft voice murmured as if worried. But Kawaro shot her at her as if reprimanding her.

"It would have been up to you, Itwalo, to monitor their escape."

"Of course it is."

This little girl, called Twa Lo, slowly lowered her head.

Kawaro saw a huge shadow cast from the curtains of the kiln. The silhouette outside the curtain was bizarre, hard to figure out.

Kawaro felt that even the airflow around her had changed.

"Then will Kawaro-sama punish me? Will you play with me?"

“…No, it’s done.”

Kawaro nervously kicked Itwalo away.

If the Apostle Itwalo fails to perform his duties properly, it is right for the senior Apostle Kawaro to take over and give him his soul.

But Kawaro was too lazy to take care of all of that. He doesn't even know how to scold this Twilo.

"It's enough if you find it. You missed it as a punishment, so find it yourself. It's a matter of time until you find it if it's hidden rather than escaped."

He even gave up his own work as an excuse to give up his soul. But it doesn't matter.

Ytwolo is a child with a great desire for play and toys.

He would rather enjoy being active in what he does.

"Anyway, we'll have to go down on our own. Itwalo, go down first. I'll follow you slowly."

"Yes."

Soon, with a thumping sound, the presence of Eatwalo disappeared.

Kawaro gently rolled the curtains of the kiln and looked out.

The place that used to be Hyunmoo's basement shelter ceiling was now split on both sides as if it had cut a ship, revealing its inner flesh.

Kawaro sighed and got off the kiln.

In the basement with a low ceiling, the kiln could not be lifted or even a giant who could pull it could not be dragged. He had no choice but to walk from here on his own.

'You're making me suffer. Kang Hyunmoo.'

With a slow motion, Kawaro stepped into Hyunmoo's underground shelter.

***

"Have you already seen the maggots twisted?"

Lampel looked down at the underground waterway with a nervous laugh.

Countless corpses of ghouls and ghasts piled up on a hill under his feet. There were six charred corpses stuck to his spear like a skewer.

"You expected the starving star to move first."

Curie said.

"Heh, it's like rushing towards its prey in a hurry."

Rampel swung his spear and threw his corpses all at once against the wall. Six patterns appeared on the wall in an instant.

"More than that, the target didn't run away? Could it be that he just hid?"

This underground waterway was the most likely escape route for Hyunmoo and his forces, assuming they were to escape.

The apostles of the conquering star, who had already grasped the topography, were planning to catch Hyunmoo, who was pushed out of the starving star when the starving star struck.

But instead of Hyunmoo, I could only see the hungry ghouls running.

Lampel and Curie did not hesitate to kill them all.

"Given the situation, it seems like he was hiding as you said."

"Are you crazy? Or did you not understand the situation? There's no way a starving star would give up on its prey and back off. In this situation, of course, you should run away."

Of course, it would have been captured by the conquering star, not the starving star.

"Or maybe they believed the Promised Land was the safest."

At Curie's words, Lampel snorted."Hey, is it still the promise? Starving stars are already burning in the promised land. And we're already in a dangerous place. Seeing Alhugin disappearing near the crossroads, the promise has long since been broken. "

"Maybe that Alhugin's disappearance itself means that the promise continues."

"At least, he must have died of being caught by an apostle of the Weeping Star or the Starving Star. He's the weakest among us."

Rampel jumped off the pile of his corpse and strode over.

Every time his flaming feet touched the stagnant water on the floor, his feet squirmed and steam rose. Rampel, who was ahead, realized that Curie was not moving.

"What are you doing, aren't you going?"

Curie had a sad expression on her face. He obviously didn't want to go any further. He still seemed to care if it was an appointment or not.

Rampel looked at her as if pathetic. I couldn't understand how such a timid person was chosen by the conquering star.

But Curie has served as an apostle the longest of the conquering stars. She has served the conquering star even longer than she has an agent.

Because of this, Lampel did not lose her minimal respect for her.

"There is no other battlefield, Curie! If the goal is to hide in the Promised Land, we have no choice but to enter, before the starving stars devour them all."

"Know."

Curie burst out a nervous laugh, and then stepped on her foot as if giving up.

"Even if I die, I have to die on the battlefield, where will I die?"

And following her, an army of iron-blooded soldiers armed with steel continued their heavy footsteps.

Iron-blooded white man.

They were the ones who gathered only the elite among the iron-bloods.

The heat rising through the armor was heating up the basement. The corpses of the ghouls piled up were charred and collapsed. War was creeping in.

And a swarm of spiders watching it hid into the crevice to avoid the heat.

***

"Hyunmoo? It looks like the army of conquering stars has just begun."

Hyunmoo's family was performing their mission by hiding in various places in a huge maze made by remodeling subways and drains.

Among them, Hyunmoo set a trap in the deepest part and waited for his enemies.

Ha-hyun was doing it for the first time to grasp the enemy's movement. This is because Ha-hyeon was better at reconnaissance of enemies in the dark than Kirson.

"Hyunmoo?"

But there was no answer from within the room where Hyunmoo should have been to receive the report. Ha-hyeon gently listened.

"Butler, use your strength! Will that kill the child?"

"What is Red Butler doing?! I can't even close my eyes because I'm embarrassed to die like that!"

Instead, all he heard was the ghastly cheers of the Lenians.

The unidentified fairies that Hyunmoo was dragging had gotten much more bizarre after their ego split once, so they couldn't even guess what was going on from the sound they heard.

Ha-hyun had no choice but to open the door and go inside. The first thing I saw when I walked in was Hyunmoo riding on something bright red.

Before he could figure out what was going on, Hyunmoo put his weight on hard.

At the same time, a rumbling sound resounded, and something bright red lost its shape and collapsed.

Hyunmoo immediately stepped back with a heavy breathing sound. He saw Ha-hyun coming in and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Uh, are you here?"
