Chapter 127
Unlocked chapter (1/1) Ty Tom!
[Flowering Night (7)]
An unexpected change occurred.
After taking a bath, Hayang couldnt shake off the feeling of a prickling sensation on her neck.
The sensation came from far away, and the night from the balcony was pitch black.
It was so quiet that no sound could be heard.
After a brisk wind brushed her skin, an eerie feeling rushed through her entire body.
Hayang, whats wrong?
Nothing, just.
Ah, I finally found you. What were you guys doing here?
Hayang was about to answer Seonas question when she heard Eunhyuk approaching.
Eunha wasnt there.
Inwardly, she hoped he was there.
In times like this, when she felt so insecure, she needed him to be there to reassure her.
But what are you doing here, Choi Eunhyuk? Your room is upstairs.
Min-ji crossed her arms.
She was right, there was no reason for Eunhyuk to come downstairs where the girls rooms were.
Hayang thought the same thing as Minji, and vaguely suspected it had something to do with a feeling she was getting from somewhere.
Didnt the captain tell you guys to go?
What? No Eunha, why on earth would.
The moment Eunhyuk spoke, Hayang deployed her mana detection network.
Spread out like a chessboard, more than two dozen bodies reacted.
The number was increasing.
Hayang?
Jung Hayang?
Hey Hayang?
She opened her eyes at the sound of the children calling out.
There was no time for this.
The monsters were now-.
[This is an announcement from the hotel information desk. At 22:17, a monster was observed in the vicinity of the hotel, so please evacuate to the underground auditorium.
This is a reminder. At 22:17, the appearance of a monster was observed in the vicinity of the hotel].
It seems that the Dawn Hotel has also observed the presence of monsters gathering from far away.
The children, who heard the announcement through the speakers installed in the ceiling, looked bewildered.
They needed some time to process the broadcast.
Everyone evacuate!
Go down to the basement auditorium!
Come on, come on, were running out of time!
The hotels resident staff shouted, and from upstairs, guests rushed down the stairs in a frenzy.
Children panicked.
It was shovel time when the sound echoed upstairs and downstairs.
What the hell is going on!
Run! Get to the main hall and do it fast!
Min-ji ran down the hallway, calming the panicked children.
Eunhyuk, who was running next to Seona, checked several times to make sure Minji and Hayang were keeping up.
Luckily, their friends were keeping up. Seeing the tears in their eyes, he didnt let the panic of the screaming children overwhelm him.
If it gets dangerous, I have to step in.
Eunhyuk pushed the player device in his hand.
When Eunha told him to look for his friends, he grabbed the hidden player device and headed downstairs, just in case.
This time, he had a weapon that could kill monsters.
He realized that if his friends were in danger, he was the only one who could save them.
JungYang?
It was when they came down to the first floor.
Eunhyeok looked back at the man holding Hayangs hand.
He didnt know who it was, but he had pushed Seonas hand away, and he didnt like that he was speaking to her in a way that made her feel uncomfortable.
The man introduced himself as Lee Byung-in, the president of Dawn Entertainment.
Pretending to be considerate of Hayang, Lee Byung-in forcefully led her toward the stairs.
Jung Hayang!
Whats with him? He looks like an asshole.
Come on, lets follow him.
The children shouted as they watched Hayang walk away.
I didnt like the man, but I couldnt help it.
After calming the children down, Eunhyuk followed the man.
He could feel the players around him looking at him.
He was scared of their stares.
But Eunhyuk stood firm under their gazes and continued walking with a determined expression on his face.
Eunhais he going to be okay?
Seona asked. Her triangular ears twitched and she was worried about Eunha, who had gotten separated on the top floor.
Hes the captain.
Its No Eunha.
Eunhyuk and Minjis expressions were not bright as they replied.
All three of them knew.
Eunha was fighting alone somewhere.
While feeling both secure and guilty, they couldnt shake off their worry for him.
[Were moving to the underground auditorium.
So well wait for you in the underground auditorium. Dont get hurt.]
Soena sent telepathic messages, sparks crackling, even though it was frustrating that telepathy was a one-way communication at times like this. She could only convey their well-being through this method.
The terrified Byung-in pushed past the people ahead of him, not looking back to see if the kids were following or not.
He trampled over people and ran downstairs. The people he trampled were swept away in a tidal wave of people, screaming, but it didnt matter.
He sprinted down the corridor and threw himself into the auditorium with the barrier deployed.
Heck, heck! Damn it!
Lee Byung-in, sitting on the ground, had to get up while cursing.
There was no time to rest because people who had come down the stairs were constantly rushing into the auditorium.
There was no time to take a breath.
He wandered around, leading his exclusive players, searching for a space where they could rest, and from afar, he spotted Hayang and the children coming in.
He could apologize to Alice Groups granddaughter later.
The sound of the monsters roars was heard very close now.
It was time to reduce the number of monsters that had now rushed into the hotel.
If the number increased any further, they would be unable to handle the monsters with the forces in the hotel.
He rummaged in his pockets to send a message to the mercenaries who were supposed to be chasing the monsters.
Huh?
No matter how much he searched his pockets, there was no transceiver.
Even after searching his whole body.
All he found was his smartphone and wallet.
Where did it go?
A feeling like his blood running cold.
Something was wrong.
His face turned pale, and even now, he screamed his throat hoarse toward the entrance where people were still streaming in.
Damn it! Close the door, you bastards!
Deep in the mountains.
Players wearing masks were looking down at the valley in the pitch-black darkness where even the light couldnt reach.
How many have passed by now?
Id say at least 50.
Average rank?
Eighth rank. The lowest is ninth rank, and the highest is seventh rank- Overrank.
Overranked. Thats a little dangerous.
The players were swarming the monsters.
They frowned when they saw the monsters that had come up from the valley heading towards the Dawn Hotel.
It was almost time for a message, but there was no word.
An unknown anxiety creeps up on them.
What should we do? Should we consider stopping now?
If the announcement hasnt come, we cant just stop on our own.
They had caused this terror, summoning monsters of this caliber.
They were players who had immersed themselves in the underground market, but they were not immune to the fear of causing something like this.
Anyone who could laugh at the sight of these monsters swarming had to be truly insane.
[This is Owl.
A new 7th-tier Overrank has joined the fray.]
A strange silence fell among the players wearing masks.
No one said a word, and they observed the monsters heading towards the only illuminated building in the darkness.
With these many monsters moving, and players inside the hotel engaging in battle with them, an outbreak was bound to happen.
It was obvious that an omnipresence would occur, and monsters would be born from it.
While their mission was to contain the monsters, their mission was also to exterminate them.
But with their current manpower, they could not subdue the monsters. Not even close.
Why no contact?
The leader of the group pondered his growing frustration.
He knew that if he became agitated, his companions would become agitated.
It was then.
[This is a Water Monitor.
I have confirmed its omnipresence. The scale of its omnipresence-at the hell is this? ahhhgkk!!!]
None of the masked players spoke.
Something is wrong.
With such a large group, it was impossible for something to go wrong.
They let out a long breath as they sensed the omnipresence, the monster born of omnipresence, that was so close to them.
Crackle,
Crackle.
Hiss.
The crying of the lure echoes through the forest.
And two eyes watching them from above.
They are not moons.
They are the eyes of a monster.
A monster born of omnipresence.
All abort the mission, retreat!
The leader of the group did not finish his last words.
The monster that had descended from the tree had torn the mans throat out.
Blood gushed out profusely.
The spilled blood, falling into the darkness, was only the beginning.
Hiss, hiss, hiss
On a night shrouded in darkness,
In the darkness of the woods, the lifeblood blossomed, nourished by someones scream.
Rustle, rustle.
Scattering red flowers, the monster turned its head toward the only glowing building in the distance.
It leaped out of the darkness, its eyes as yellow as the full moon and round as the crescent moon.
The monster born from omnipresence was the sixth ranked Stygi-Aye Gloom.
