EP.54 Monster Wave (2)

Damn.

Something was off. It was an exceptionally strange day.

Why did I forget Seo Yeong-ho?

The personnel check was wrong, and nothing seemed to be going right today. It felt as if he was under some strange influence.

Lets focus for now.

He couldnt afford to waste time on trivial matters. Choi Ji-hoon immediately went outside the headquarters and shouted loudly.

Everyone, gather right now! Were checking personnel again, so hurry!

His mind had only one thought.

Please, let it be nothing.

He hoped it was just an unexpected event, waiting for the members to gather quickly. A moment later

Everyone is here. Captain Choi Ji-hoon!

The deputys voice echoed.

Good.

Choi Ji-hoon quickly checked the personnel, counting one, two, three

Twenty-two.

The total number matched twenty-one, but the actual count was still twenty-two. He hoped the deputy had made a mistake. However, upon rechecking, frustratingly, the count remained at twenty-two.

Ha.

Now, Choi Ji-hoon scrutinized the faces of all the hunters. If he found Seo Yeong-hos face, it would be okay.

He thought that way, but Seo Yeong-ho was nowhere to be found.

Damn it! Im going crazy.

His sudden curse surprised the hunters, but Choi Ji-hoon didnt stop there.

Everyone, take out your hunter IDs!

As the leader of the patrol team, Choi Ji-hoon was in charge. Regardless of what was happening, they had to follow the orders of their superior. Hunters quickly pulled out their IDs and presented them.

Uh Captain, Im sorry. I forgot my hunter ID. Left it somewhere

Among them, one person didnt have a hunter ID. Choi Ji-hoon looked at that person.

Name and rank, speak up!

Then, he quickly pulled a mana-powered magic gun from his hip.

Choi Ji-hoon pointed the gun at the person without the hunter ID. Even though he was the captain of the patrol team, taking out a gun startled those around him.

Captain?

Whats going on?

What on earth was this situation?

Quickly, give me your name and rank!

When Choi Ji-hoon shouted again, the person in question promptly spoke up.

D-rank Hunter, Kang Seong-woo!

However, Choi Ji-hoons gun continued to be aimed at him.

Uh Captain?

Kang Seong-woo, who had revealed his name and rank moments ago, called out to Choi Ji-hoon with a trembling voice.

Why are you doing this for real?

He was almost on the verge of tears while speaking.

However, Choi Ji-hoon kept his gun pointed at Kang Seong-woo.

Why didnt you bring your hunter ID?

Normally, hunters always carried their hunter IDs. But not having one in a situation like this was suspicious.

Listen, everyone! We have a non-human presence among us!

His words seemed to be the starting point. All hunters looked at each other, gradually distancing themselves. They especially focused their gaze on one person Kang Seong-woo, the one without a hunter ID.

No Why is everyone acting like this?

Even though Kang Seong-woo desperately spoke, the others paid him no attention. Choi Ji-hoon, in particular, approached Kang Seong-woo bit by bit.

At first, he only intended to threaten. However, something caught Choi Ji-hoons eye. Kang Seong-woos neck twisted, not just a slight turn but a genuinely eerie, inhuman twist.

What?

It wasnt just a simple turn of the head, his neck contorted in a strange direction. What could be said about it? It was like he had an inhuman appearance.

In that brief moment, Choi Ji-hoon didnt hesitate. His previous sight was too chilling.

Bang! nove(l)bi(n.)com

A burst of blue mana emitted from Choi Ji-hoons magic gun. The mana shot precisely at Kang Seong-woos head.

Thunk!

Kang Seong-woo let out a short scream before dropping dead.

The most suspicious hunter was eliminated. Yet, Choi Ji-hoon couldnt feel relieved. He immediately aimed the gun at another hunter standing next to him.

Name and rank!

Just as the other hunter was about to speak

Once again, Choi Ji-hoon witnessed an odd sight. The corners of the persons mouth subtly lifted, a sneer.

Why would someone suddenly smile now? It was an unsettling grin.

This time, there was no room for doubt.

The person was not a hunter.

Bang!

Bang!

Two rapid shots echoed consecutively.

Cough.

Similar to before, another hunter collapsed, coughing up blood.

However, the problem didnt end there.

Choi Ji-hoon aimed his gun at another person without hesitation.

Bang!

This time, there was no hesitation. He simply pulled the trigger.

Then, he aimed at yet another person.

Bang!

By now, the others were in shock.

Bang!

The captains gone mad! Stop him!

Everyone tried to defend themselves, brandishing their equipment.

It was none other than his assistant, Vetter. Though originally a slime, he now took on a human form, showcasing a masterful transformation.

In response to Vetters words, Azmo replied.

Ive only received the mercy of the great one.

Azmo smiled.

I gained new skills thanks to the mercy of our master.

It was the skill [Distorted Allure].

He had absorbed the incubus bestowed by the master, an unusual act within their species, causing slight discomfort. But looking at the results, he had become even stronger.

[Distorted Allure] Now, he could charm not only the opposite gender but also the same gender. The effect was relatively minor compared to its impact on the opposite gender, but it could still induce some confusion.

Azmo looked at his hand.

He was undeniably growing stronger.

Many things had happened until now. Initially, he was just an ordinary master leading a small incubus dungeon.

He managed an ordinary dungeon.

Since when was it?

Probably since that day.

The day Lady Celia first descended and helped him. Lady Celia possessed incredible power, effortlessly neutralizing the hunters who invaded the dungeon with a simple gesture.

Azmo was deeply impressed by her abilities.

I want that power too.

A primal desire emerged within him.

Until then, Azmo had pursued external beauty rather than raw strength, typical for the incubus species.

However, witnessing Lady Celias appearance triggered a significant change in his mindset.

The highest form of beauty. Of course, that was correct.

However, true beauty emanated from strength. Yes, he wanted that strong power too.

Beauty without strength would be engulfed by the surroundings. Strong power was indeed beauty.

Although the species might differ, the desire to enter the presence of Lady Celia, a giant entity, was like a chimney in his heart.

But Lady Celia had spoken to him.

Im just a being who follows the great Master.

Even someone as powerful as Lady Celia had someone to follow.

Just how incredible is this great being

From that day on, Azmos perspective dramatically expanded. However, the surprise didnt end there.

Looking at the beings who arrived at the dungeon after Lady Celia, Death Knight and Lich, he felt a sense of awe in casually sending such powerful individuals.

And the amazement didnt stop there.

Azmo witnessed a miracle.

It was the sight of Lich transcending into Arc Lich right before his eyes.

Ah, a miracle happened before me.

At that moment, tears flowed from Azmos eyes.

And a single goal emerged.

He wanted to be reborn as a more powerful being himself.

To achieve that, he needed the mercy of a great being.

To receive the mercy of the noble and sublime master, there was one thing needed.

Celia mentioned it.

Act for the master and spread the masters will widely in the world.

Then, someday, the master would show mercy, according to Celias words.

Spread the masters will in the world

It was easy to guess the masters will.

If Azmo deduced the contents of what Celia said right away, he could reach one answer.

The world will kneel before the master.

And the beginning of that would be initiated by Azmo himself.

My children!

Azmo shouted towards the Incubuses.

And those who have returned from death!

He shouted towards the Ghouls.

Go! Go and show the masters will!

Following Azmos command, Ghouls and Incubuses began to move.

Behind them.

Clang

Thud

Thud

Arc Lich and Death Knight started to follow.

It was the beginning of the monster wave.

This, this is unbelievable

And there was the only human who saw the current scene from the beginning, Patrol Captain Choi Ji-hoon.

Hahaha

A death knight armed with black armor and a sword.

And an undead wizard who even forgot death.

Choi Ji-hoon could only laugh at the current situation.

Theres no way out of this.

No, there might not have been any hope for humanity from the beginning.

Choi Ji-hoon aimed the sword he held in his hand at his own neck.

Today was truly a day when nothing went right.

Still, if one thing went well.

At least he could decide his own end with his own hands.

Strength entered his hand holding the sword.

Thunk
