Hoarding in Hell Novel

Possibly someone came before them.

But Noha-eul shook her head.

"For now, we're the only ones who have made a reservation for this route at this time. The route is fixed because hunters shouldn't make a mistake."

“Well, then, someone sneaked in with us?”

Noh Ha-eul thought about the possibility for a moment, but he couldn't come up with a reason to aim for replacements. If there was a possibility, it could have been a hunter who was aiming for him. It could be an assassin from a rival clan, or a personal grudge.

'Then it would have been better to just attack, so why are you playing with this?'

No Haeul could not even guess.

"There is a possibility that it is a monster that has not been caught until now. The dungeon is a bigger place than I imagined. First, we'll collect the hearthstone as soon as possible and report it to the upper management. It's not like the dungeon's rank goes up suddenly."

Noh Ha-eul also raised the possibility that the goblins were attacked by other new monsters.

The hunters left the goblin corpse behind and moved forward with a sense of shame. But what they soon discovered was even more serious.

Countless goblin corpses were scattered all over the forest.

***

"Oops, whoops."

Eventually, one of the newbies threw up on the floor. Park Seo-moon, who acted like a macho, was even pale.

The smell of blood wafted everywhere. However, the deeper he went into the forest, the more he couldn't find an intact goblin corpse.

The limbs of the goblins were hung from each branch, and there were those who were hanging around with their necks tied with intestines. It seemed as if he had ripped it off and turned it around and threw it away like a child. Noh Ha-eul's expression became more and more serious.

'To be able to mock a corpse in this way is to have great intelligence.'

It wasn't eaten, and it wasn't just massacred.

This was a place of entertainment.

Having fun means being smart enough. An entity strong enough to break the balance of the dungeon and even with good intelligence appeared.

It was not an ordinary situation that such a monster appeared in the Cheonggye Dungeon, which had been treated as a stable 1-star dungeon until now and was used as a site for teaching new students.

"I will declare a state of emergency. I will return you as soon as the hearthstone is visible. The rest, please follow me closely."

Noh Ha-eul, who had been watching from behind as an inspector until this point, is now starting to take the lead. It was the inspectorate who assumed such an emergency and followed suit.

"Mr. Kang Hyunmoo. Are you okay, Mr. Kang Hyunmoo?"

Noh Ha-eul dared to speak to Hyunmoo, who was at the back. She still had doubts in her eyes. Hyunmoo has no intention of hiding his skills, but he has a strong desire to watch. He replied with a light shrug of his shoulders."How much more do I have to go?"

"There's only a few minutes left until the Hearthstone. Everyone, let's do our best. I hope you all move as much as possible while being vigilant in all directions."

Noh Ha-eul took the lead in a responsible manner, and the new group followed her. Park Seo-moon looked dissatisfied that she was standing behind a woman, but she didn't say anything that she was worried about him too, and she followed.

how long has it been

The distance I actually walked wasn't much, but it felt like I walked for half a day.

The newcomers had exhausted faces. It was close to hard labor to take one step at a time while alerting you to the monster that might appear anywhere in the disgusting landscape.

Noh Ha-eul became increasingly nervous as she watched her newcomers sagging.

If she had been alone, she would run out and chase the enemy, but she couldn't speed because she was carrying five loads.

At that time, as the forest ended, the vacant lot began to appear. Noh Ha-eul sighed in relief. She was where the goblin village was. She could usually find a hearthstone near her village.

She hurried to the newcomers, thinking that she had just finished the forest. But when she stepped out of the woods, she covered her mouth again at the sight she saw.

The whole vacant lot was red. Goblin corpses were scattered everywhere. It was hard to find a place where her body wasn't there. The disgusting smell of blood vibrated.

Noh Ha-eul immediately ran to the unusual sight and inspected her body. She quickly figured out what was going on. Her expression turned pale.

'… … I summoned both the goblin chieftain and the goblin shaman, and killed them as well.'

Among the numerous corpses, fragments of a goblin chieftain and a shaman were also seen. The two are additional achievement goals of the Cheonggyesan dungeon.

Both were large and had prominent decorations and tattoos, making them easy to recognize.

Each of them dragged a large group of goblins and used various buffs, so it was a difficult opponent for newcomers.

However, the unidentified enemy gathered both of them together and then killed them all in this vacant lot.

'But why?'

If the creature that killed the goblins was a monster, there was no reason to even do this. There has to be something more than just brutality. If it were a person... … .

"Hey there! Is that a hearthstone?"

There was an altar made of piled up stones in the middle of the place where the dead bodies of the empty lot were piled up. At the top of it was a stone with a strange pattern. The first goal was the Hearthstone.

Hyunmoo compared the hearthstone he had with the altar. The patterns look similar.

But that hearthstone was huge enough to be described as a megalith, while Hyunmoo's was small, about three fingers.

Park Seo-moon immediately started running towards the hearth. The dungeon he had envisioned was not like this. He didn't know what killed the goblin, but it was clear that he was an opponent he couldn't handle.

"Wait!"

Noh Ha-eul saw Park Seo-moon running towards the haunted seat and cried out in a hurry. But it was already too late.

As soon as Park Seo-moon reached among the corpses to touch the hearthstone, something grabbed his leg.

"Aaaaaaah!"

Park Seo-moon began to be quickly dragged towards the forest with a scream. As if No Ha-eul was being sucked in without even having time to go to rescue him, he disappeared over the thick forest in an instant.

Park Seo-moon's scream suddenly stopped as soon as he entered the forest. An ominous silence terrified everyone.

'It's a trap.'

The beings who slaughtered goblins were targeting not only goblins, but also humans.

All the newcomers who tried to run after Park Seo-moon froze in one place. Kang Hyunmoo was the only one standing still.

Noh Ha-eul realized that all the goblin corpses he had seen so far were tricks to hide the traps in this vacant lot. The sense of incongruity was eliminated by making the body accustomed to it.

'Strength to destroy balance, intelligence enough to set up traps and hide, humans are certain.'

Noh Ha-eul pulled out two short hwandos from her waist and hurriedly shouted.

"The rogue may have been hiding! Everyone be on the lookout and be careful!"

At the words of Rogue, the face of the new group turned pale.

Rogue pointed to those who illegally invaded the dungeon. Among them, the most dangerous rogues were those with the ability to target the capable.

There were some rogues who killed powerful people because they were aiming for items or resentment, but there were also crazy ones who wanted to test their skills and fight.

'Am I the target? Who the hell?

Noh Ha-eul thought that he was his purpose. He had no reason to target the newcomers, so he had no choice but to think so. But he couldn't even keep the newcomers alive by killing him.

'I will attack even to eliminate the witnesses.'

Noh Ha-eul was vigilant in all directions and waited for the log to pop out. He had to go to rescue Park Seo-moon, but he didn't know where the other trap was, and he couldn't leave the other newcomers defenseless in the meantime.

For a moment, Noh Ha-eul focused on the status quo. She noticed that the bushes were moving slightly unnaturally, with her sharp-eyed preface gone.

Noha-eul threw one of her swords that she was holding quickly towards it.

"Keruk!"

Hwando was thrown into the air with the sound of sharp metal clashing. It wasn't a scream, it was a shout.

Noh Ha-eul was surprised at the sound she was familiar with but unexpected.

"...a goblin?"

"Kick, Kirk."

A goblin in a red hat slowly walked out of the bushes.

***

The new group was surprised by the appearance of the newly appeared goblin, but did not think about approaching it at all.

The appearance of the goblins before them was completely different from anything they had encountered. From red hats to plausible clothes and shoes.

Besides, even the daggers in their hands looked better than the weapons they were holding.

Hyunmoo raised the corners of his lips as he watched the goblin look.

It was Kirson.

Although he no longer possesses black hands, Kirsson was one of the first to be saved by using his skills—family.

Hyunmoo did numerous experiments with Kirson in Hell.

The biggest advantage of the clan is that it can be directly communicated and controlled. And even in reality, I was able to summon the monsters of Difficulty: Hell.

Moreover, even if the body dies, as long as the body is not severely damaged, it can still be revived.

Goblins are one of the lowest monsters in Difficulty: Hell, but here they have proven themselves to be top predators.

The downside was that it was difficult to control if the level was less than the target to be included in the family. However, it was simple to subdue Kirsson.

'Nom's village.'

Of course, even the devil didn't shake his head, such as using Kirson to kill the goblin villagers. The remaining villagers were precious hostages to control Kirson.

It was after Hyunmoo reached level 20 that Kirsson was brought back to life. He killed half, but still half remains.

Kirson had to stay alive to protect the rest of the villagers. If he kills Hyunmoo, he, who is a member of the household, is also dead, so even if his blood boils, he has to surrender.

'This messy goblin slaughter looks like a mixture of anger and homophobia.'

What a foolish fellow who is powerless and can't even speak. I wouldn't even want to admit that I'm kin.

For that reason, Kirsson was acting more cruel than necessary and obeying Hyunmoo. No, maybe that's his real face.

Or his mind is broken.

'Well, it doesn't matter.'

He looked at his pale-tired companions and thought he wasn't too bad either. The more they fear, the greater the effect. The problem was Inspector No Ha-eul.

Hyunmoo was interested in how strong she would be. Will she be able to fight and win against the clan she has brought?

She seemed to be boiling boiling. No, the clan might be a little weaker.

It was difficult to gauge her, but she seemed to be able to tell when she started fighting in earnest.

'He's quite an executive of the 3rd generation clan, but he has to do that.'

If not, he will be disappointed.

'I want you to experience how much I suffered.'
