Chapter 132
Unlocked chapter (1/3)
Thank you Gary!
[Flowering Night (12)]
Moonlight seeped through the darkened forest, revealing a gruesome scene of flesh and blood.
Eunha stood there, holding a bloodstained handkerchief and gazing down at it.
The embroidered flower petals on the bloodied handkerchief represented the emblem of the Dawn Group, not just a simple emblem, but one with a rune inscribed on it.
An artifact?
It wasnt just a simple emblem; it was an emblem inscribed with runes.
The emblem reacted to the mana he had desperately channeled when he was frantically searching his handbag for a potion, deploying a protective spell.
It was a beautiful protective spell that he thought was breathtaking.
Unfortunately, the artifact seemed to be disposable, as the rune inscription had faded away, leaving only a vague outline.
He didnt know who had made it, but they had crafted it skillfully.
As he carefully examined the inscription on the handkerchief, Eunha tried to recall the characteristics of Cresters he knew.
But he soon gave up.
There wasnt much information that came to mind about a rune engraver with an intuitive and elegant touch.
Before his regression, he had been building a wall with the cresters after the death of the <Unfortunate maestro>
He only knew of the three most prominent Cresters in Korea, and none of the others.
Anyway, if it wasnt for this, Id be in trouble.
Eunha shoved the stained handkerchief into his pocket.
It was nothing more than a disposable artifact, but he felt strangely fond of it.
From his handbag, he pulled out a Mana Restoration Potion.
It was a subspecies of the New Potion, but it wasnt very efficient.
When he had recovered enough mana to move, he looked behind him.
I knew it.
Oh Yeon jung was nowhere to be found.
She had taken the opportunity to escape.
Without her, I cant lure the hordes of monsters.
She must be somewhere in the mountains. There are monsters all over the place. How can she escape.
Eunha calmly accepted the fact that Oh Yeon-jung had escaped.
Oh Yeon-jung was classified as an A-grade player because of her ability to use her Gift and her mission completion rate.
Her combat abilities were far less impressive. Without a Dealer, Hunter, or even a Ranger, it was impossible to get out of the mountain.
Still, shes an A-player. She wouldnt be easily defeated by monsters.
I didnt need to look for her right now.
Eunha strolled through the bloodshed, scanning his surroundings.
Found it.
Through the bushes, he found the gemstone.
Eunha used his thumb to wipe the blood off the gemstone, which was larger than his fist.
Moonlight streamed through the clouds, illuminating the gem.
Still, its a sixth level, so I cant leave it behind.
Gemstones of the sixth level could be used to create artifacts and devices of considerable quality.
They werent just used for materials.
Sixth-level magic stones were traded at a very high price.
As much as two or three months salary for an average worker.
Moreover, it was flawless.
He had a reason to be amazed when he saw the gemstone shimmering in the moonlight.
But what am I going to do with it?
Even with the gem, he had no means of disposing of it.
As it turned out, he also had the Lizard Kings gem hidden in his house.
I cant and wont become a player because of this onebut.
Ill ask Uncle Bruno to take care of it later.
If its Bruno, he would help in any way he can.
Holding the gemstone, Eunha pushed his way back into the grassy field.
This is real.
A gemstone was a gemstone, but it couldnt surpass the value of a skillstone.
Eunha grabbed the Skillstone that the Stygian Glum had dropped.
It was small enough to fit in his hand.
The pale yellow color of the gem reflected the faintest of light, even though it was covered in black blood.
I held the skillstone up to the moonlight. As if through a prism, a multifaceted light flickered before his eyes.
It can be done.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
There were cases like this.
Even if you didnt directly send mana, it could be absorbed into the body if you knew that your body could accept the Skill Stone.
She lowered her head, not speaking a word of apology for running away from him.
She was too frightened even to look up.
She just stood up and led the way to the top, the same way she had since she entered the mountain.
There was no one at the top. Only the corpses of the players who remained on the scene told them the final fate of those who had been there.
A light breeze blew.
Mixed in with the wind were the cries of beasts.
They were all the cries of monsters.
She detected the presence of monsters gathering like swarms of maggots in the valley below.
Hey it doesnt look like theres anything here, can we just go down?
Just the thought of monsters swarming beneath her feet sent chills through her body.
Moreover, there were monsters chasing them from behind, probably heading for the hotel.
Desperate to get away from this place, she begged.
We need to get down quickly. Who knows when the monsters willohhh?
A gunshot rang out from the peak.
Uhwhyw-why.
Pierced in the side, she stared at him blankly, not even bothering her wound.
Why? You didnt think this would happen?
The cylinder revolved.
A new round was loaded.
With his finger on the trigger, he spoke his last words.
Goodbye.
<Fascination>
It is a gift that possesses creatures with mana.
Among them, Oh Yeon-jung, who possessed a powerful gift, was able to possess even a group of monsters.
Who else will do this, Ill have to do it.
By himself, he couldnt defeat the monsters coming up from the bottom of the mountain.
He was exhausted and lacked mana.
Even with the Violent Venom, there were limits. He couldnt take on every single one of them, even the ones that were far away from the infection.
So he needed to lead the monsters away in a direction where there were no people.
If he could guide them to a place far away from the people, the monsters would disperse and fight among themselves.
To achieve this, she was being used.
Eunha looked down at her, watching her fall into the valley.
If she, who possessed mana that could enchant monsters, came down from the mountain, she would take all the monsters with her.
Theyre coming.
The ground vibrated.
He didnt need to deploy his mana sense to know how close they were.
He climbed a nearby tree and hid in the darkness.
The horde of monsters flung themselves into the valley, unable to confuse their path.
A night that seemed endless.
The night eventually receded, and the sun rising over the mountain peaks began to dispel the darkness in the forest.
And so, like the arrival of dawn
Ah, I couldnt even sleep, maam. I think I lost my sleep mask, really.
A dawn that would shake up Korea has arrived.
The subject of the commotion was, of course, the Dawn Group.
[The damage caused by the terrorist attack resulted in 79 deaths, 203 injuries, and 21 missing persons, of which 42 elementary school students are reported to have died.
There were a total of four elementary schools that stayed at the Dawn Hotel in Chuncheon City, including Doan Elementary School.]
[The Ministry of Education has issued a statement prohibiting all education outside of the relevant jurisdiction for all educational institutions nationwide, except for the Player Academy.]
[This morning at 9 oclock, the judiciary sentenced Lee Byung-in, the mastermind behind the large-scale monster terrorism, and all accomplices to the death penalty
This is the second death penalty sentence since the intervention of the Fairy Government
Lee Byung-in, CEO of Dawn Entertainment, has expressed his disagreement with the judicial decision and announced his intention to appeal.
However, according to the amended constitution following the <Centurys End Destruction>, acts of terrorism that bring monsters posing a threat to humanity are deemed heinous crimes without the possibility of forgiveness. Given the ample evidence of his involvement in the terrorist acts, the judiciary has informed that they will not permit Lee Byung-ins appeal.
Under the amended constitution since the <Centurys End Destruction>, in cases where acts pose a threat to humanity and are deemed heinous crimes by the unanimous decision of all judges.]
[Today, there are many people lined up at Gwanghwamun. They are all families of children who were victims of Byung-ins terrorism.
Those participating in the rally are appealing for the harshest punishment for Lee Byung-in]
[Nationwide, a boycott movement against the Dawn Group is growing. Sales in sectors related to Dawn Group products, services, and substitutes continue to increase.
Among small business owners, some have been mistakenly accused of selling products related to the Dawn Group]
[Chairwoman Lee Yoon-hee deeply regrets the mistakes in raising her child and apologizes to the nation for the recent turmoil caused by her child.
She announced her resignation from the chairmanship and the sale of other subsidiary companies, including Dawn Entertainment, to pay for her childs sins.
There is speculation in some circles that Chairwoman Lee Yoon-hee is selling off poorly performing businesses to improve the groups structure and that she may be passing the Dawn Group to her son, Lee Jeong-in]
