Chapter – 55

EP.55 Army of Death (1)

Dark night.

Dim lights enveloped the hospital room.

Despite having only one bed in the room, several people were moving around.

Even outside the room, security guards were stationed.

All of this was to take care of a single patient.

The patient was none other than the second son of the Phoenix Guilds leader, Jung Woo-jin.

Therefore, everyone was taking care of him diligently even at a late hour.

If any problems arose, their lives would be the first to be in danger.

Hehe Huh.

However, Jung Woo-jins condition on the bed was not good.

No, it wouldnt be an exaggeration to call it the worst.

Even when left alone, he would sometimes smirk or drool, occasionally even having seizures.

When the seizures were severe, the people around him had to stick together to restrain him.

Jung Woo-jin.

He originally wielded influence within the guild.

Though lower in position compared to his older brother, the vice guild leader, the title of the guild leaders child was not something to be ignored.

And what kind of guild was the Phoenix Guild?

It was one of the leading guilds in South Korea.

A mere glance could wipe out a small guild on the street with its influence.

Thus, Jung Woo-jin lived receiving royal treatment within the Phoenix Guild.

If this wasnt happiness, then what was?

But such happiness didnt last long.

Jung Woo-jin wanted a bit more.

He wanted to raise his honor within the guild and at the same time bring down his annoying younger sister, Jung Ye-rin.

So, he planned one thing.

Dungeon conquest.

Assigning dungeons was not difficult for him.

Since he held the authority, he could freely choose which dungeon to assign.

He assigned an A-rank dungeon with a goblin lord for his younger sister.

And he chose a B-rank Incubus dungeon for himself.

Incubus.

A monster that steals the vitality of women.

So, with good preparation, it was like a dungeon where you could easily reap the rewards.

Jung Woo-jin confidently set out to conquer the Incubus dungeon.

The result?

He returned in failure.

Even if he barely survived with his life hanging by a thread, his current state was beyond words.

It was almost better to die.

Daily life became impossible.

The life he envisioned within the guild was now over.

He was no longer a person within the guild.

No, he had become someone to hide.

What he experienced in the dungeon was strictly kept secret and controlled.

Ah.

Tears rolled down Jung Woo-jins eyes as his consciousness briefly returned.

It was a repetition of regret.

In the dungeon he thought would surely succeed, there was one variable.

The appearance of a succubus.

Moreover, it was a high-level monster.

And the memories of him and his subordinates were cut off.

After that

Ugh!

Only terrible memories that he didnt want to think about remained.

It was hell.

A hell he didnt want to think about.

Yes, memories that must be forgotten at all costs.

He even wished his sanity would leave him completely.

Even now, Jung Woo-jin desperately tried to erase those memories.

It only takes a moment.

I might lose my mind again at this rate.

As Jung Woo-jin muttered to himself, a voice from outside reached him.

Have you come.

Someone seemed to have come to visit.

Who could it be?

Jung Woo-jin had already given up.

No one from his family had visited when he was admitted here.

Even if someone came now, it would likely be the hunters from the department responsible for information in the Phoenix Guild.

But someone had come to see him.

Could it be someone from the guild again?

The door to the room opened, and a man revealed himself shortly after.

It was an unexpected figure.

Brother.

It was Jung Tae-young, the vice guild leader of the Phoenix Guild and Jung Woo-jins older brother.

Everyone, leave. Dont come in until I speak separately.

Jung Tae-young first organized the people inside the room.

After confirming that everyone had left, he finally looked at him.

I heard your condition isnt good, but you seem fine, Woo-jin.

The first visit to his injured younger brother.

But Jung Tae-youngs voice carried a chilling indifference.

Jung Woo-jin couldnt say anything.

Because his brothers reaction was too cold.

Well, I did fail.

Perhaps it had an impact on the image of the Phoenix Guild.

And it would be a blow to his older brother, the vice guild leader.

In the current situation, Jung Ye-rins appearance was a tremendous variable.

He thought that eliminating Jung Woo-jin would end it, but now another troublemaker had emerged.

How did things get so tangled up?

While thinking, he glanced at Jung Woo-jin who was struggling.

Woo-jin.

Unlike earlier, his voice was not cold.

We are brothers, right? Arent we?

It was surprisingly gentle.

Mother is very worried too. She came all the way here because its the Phoenix Guild. If things get worse from here, it will be tough.

It was true.

When Jung Woo-jins situation came to light, Jung Tae-young took swift action.

He used artifacts to prevent the information about the dungeon from spreading and suppressed the situation as much as possible.

Covering up Jung Woo-jins incident quietly was possible because of the prestige of the Phoenix Guild.

But now the atmosphere had changed.

A Monster Wave erupted from the dungeon owned by the Phoenix Guild.

They had to stop it immediately.

They couldnt let the Monster Wave grow any larger.

And there was a Death Knight turning the killed targets into ghouls.

If the scale continued to increase

After the Monster Wave, the government would thoroughly investigate the Phoenix Guild.

In severe cases, there might even be a hearing.

Tsk.

The Monster Wave turned everything upside down.

Moreover, the place where the Monster Wave erupted had a considerable population.

If more damage occurred here

If he couldnt intervene anymore

Even the guild leader father would not be unscathed, let alone the vice guild leader himself.

In the worst-case scenario, he might have to step down from the position of vice guild leader.

No, maybe that was just the beginning.

While swallowing his anger, Jung Tae-young looked at Jung Woo-jin.

Still, he was his younger brother.

Unlike the different Jung Ye-rin, Jung Woo-jin was a younger brother born from the same womb as him.

Woo-jin, finish this incident.

It was a request as a brother.

Whether you kill Ye-rin or stop the Monster Wave, take full responsibility and step back. Then Ill at least make sure you can survive under the Phoenix Guild.

Simultaneously, it was a threat. If he couldnt do it, was there any other way? He would have to die.

The Hunter Association was quiet today as well.

It was not because of a lack of personnel but rather due to the absence of any special emergencies.

Unlike before, the system was now somewhat organized. Most situations could be handled by lower-level agencies and hunters.

Its quiet again today.

Han Jung-cheol, an A-rank hunter, and the leader of the emergency response team in the association, rested in his chair.

The emergency response team, at a peaceful time like this, practically had nothing to do.

If a dungeon suddenly appeared in some region, nearby guilds or government-affiliated hunters would handle it promptly.

Well, unless a Monster Wave erupted, that was a different story.

Team leader! Something big happened! A Monster Wave has erupted!

Just like this.

Yes, a Monster Wave had erupted. A Monst

What?!

Han Jung-cheol stood up with a surprised expression.

Then, looking at the one who had just spoken, he asked in disbelief.

Mi-rae, a Monster Wave? Are you trying to fool me?

Suddenly, a Monster Wave?

Under normal circumstances, he would have dismissed it as a joke.

However, the person in front of him was not someone who knew how to make jokes.

Lee Mi-rae.

She was a B-rank hunter affiliated with the emergency response team.

Since she was under Han Jung-cheols command, he knew her well.

She was definitely not the type to tell lies.

Really, Mi-rae. What are you talking about? A Monster Wave out of the blue?

This couldnt be a joke.

The contents coming out of Lee Mi-raes mouth were all serious matters.

And a Death Knight, not just Ghouls? This is crazy. Where is it happening?

The most crucial thing was the location.

If the incident occurred in a remote area with no people, they might have some time.

But the world was not always a beautiful place where things went as desired.

Anyang.

The last hope was also crushed.

If it was Anyang, it was a reasonably populated area, close to Seoul.

Darn! We need to move right away!

A Death Knight was an A-rank monster.

Its true power lay in its skill.

It could turn the ones it killed into Ghouls.

The most important thing was to know the location.

If the incident occurred in a deserted place, they could at least buy some time.

But it seemed the world had no intention of going the way they wanted.

Please

He hoped that nothing serious would happen.

At least, he prayed that the damage would not be extensive.

With a heavy heart, Han Jung-cheol mobilized the emergency response team.
