Chapter 65

Episode 65

“…Kahah!!”

“Fuck! What is that?! “How can I catch that!!”

“Run away!! “30 minutes… No, now I just have to last 25 minutes!!”

“Crazy… over 30 people died in 5 minutes. “I can’t stand a guy like that for even a minute, let alone 25 minutes!”

“Then let’s go. “Why are you fucking with me!”

Cursing was heard everywhere, but no one thought of fighting.

This is because just avoiding the Root Hunter’s sword, which could come flying towards them at any moment, was overwhelming.

“What is that?”

“Wow… is that really a corpse?”

Even while people were dying in the boss room, people were constantly coming down from the island to get runes and weapons.

“hey!! Don’t come in!! “Everyone dies!!”

“They sell drugs just to become candidates for themselves.”

“Hey hey! Everyone go in!”

Everyone had the same reaction.

Those who eat runes or those who acquire weapons fall into the confidence that they can save the world due to the power they suddenly gained.

“…cough.”

And the moment people step inside that boundary, they realize how foolish pride is.

With death.

“Everyone, everyone, step back!!! “If you go in there, everything will fall apart!”

“okay. There was no need to survive for a few minutes anyway. “You just have to enter the room when the count ends, right?”

“Kkk, curse at us instead.”

Watching people dying, the rest of the boss room began waiting for the hourglass to fall on the Root Hunter’s head.

‘You’re being a little lazy.’

Namgung glanced at them and clicked his tongue.

Has the world ever gone as it pleases?

▶ The Root Hunter has absorbed a certain amount of blood.

▶ Underground trees grow.

▶ The boss’s area is expanded.

▶ The number of root hunters increases.

“…uh?”

The moment the people outside the boss room stopped, the boundary expanded in an instant.

A moment of confusion

! Shush–!!

Another root hunter appeared behind them and started stabbing with his sword.

“Kaaaaaa!!”

“Save me!!”

People who are brutally killed by the root hunter’s sword without even being able to resist. But the guy didn’t care and plunged his sword into the corpse.

Chwii Iik…!!

Then, along with pure white smoke, the sword body quivered as if it was sucking blood from a corpse.

And the blood absorbed by the sword flowed through the stem growing on its back, which was connected to the underground tree.

“Do… we have to run away!!”

Escape was impossible for them now that even the stairs had already become the boss’s territory, meaningless despite their cries.

▶ The boss’s area is further expanded.

▶ The number of root hunters increases.

The boss’s territory, which began to increase rapidly, has now expanded not just underground but to the entire Solbit Island.

“As expected…”

Fear spread rapidly, and with people dying, the difficulty of boss hunting also began to increase exponentially.

‘If this continues, the remaining two islands will all become the boss’ territory.’

The rules changed, but ultimately the outcome of the auction was the same.

If you don’t hunt the boss, everyone dies.

Buuuung-!!!

Namgung picked up the penitent’s sword and swung it at the root hunter with all his might.

Kang! Kang!! Kaga River!!!

The root hunter blocked Namgung’s sword and stepped back.

[Crunch….]

A growl was heard from under the hood, as if the guy was warning. As he raised his sword, the remaining one that had multiplied behind him rushed at Namgung.

Whoa…!

However, at that moment, spirit soldiers were summoned and stopped the root hunter who was trying to attack Namgung.

Buuuung—!!

At the same time, As raised his ax and swung it towards the root hunter he had first encountered.

Wow!! bang-!!

With a loud roar like an explosion, soul soldiers attached to each hunter.

‘The other one…’

Namgung turned his head towards the entrance.

The root hunter who killed dozens of people was still running rampant chasing those who remained.

‘I can’t help it.’

After all, saving everyone is greedy.

‘They weren’t dragged to the water by force; they came on their own because they were thirsty.’

Because life is not something someone spoon-feeds you.

It was the same before and after the apocalypse that it was a series of choices and that we had to pay the price ourselves.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Sharp, awl-like stems protruded from the underground tree behind the root hunters.

Kaang-!!

Namgung plunged his sword into the stem aiming at him.

“Whoop…!”

He held the handle of the sword with both hands and cut the stem horizontally with all his might.

Cracked.

As the sword penetrated the hard shell and split the stem, red, moist flesh, like human muscle, was visible inside.

[Kyaak!! Kyaak!!]

When the underground tree was attacked, the root hunters scattered here and there all screamed in pain.

‘After all, it’s all connected.’

Behind the hunters’ waists, like hoses, stems were connected to underground trees.

Buuuung-!!

While they were faltering due to the stem’s attack, the spirit soldiers knocked down the root hunters.

Kwaang!!!

Asu hit one guy’s neck with an axe.

bang! bang! bang!!!

He didn’t stop there, but kept hitting the guy with the ax as if he was going to crush him.

Jaw –

Dozens of ax strikes stopped.

[Krrrrr….]

The Root Hunter fell to the ground and grabbed As’s ax blade with one hand.

Grumble… Grumble…

With a struggle of strength, the guy slowly started to stand up. As’s body, which had been struck from above, was pushed back little by little.

Even though it was in a tattered state from the ax cutting, it surprisingly began to put pressure on Ass more and more.

‘Ass is losing power?’

Tsuzu:

But the surprise didn’t end there.

Isn’t it true that the wounds of a root hunter who became a rag heals in an instant?

“Ahh!!”

“Aaaah!!!”

Hearing the scream, Namgung hurriedly turned his gaze to look at the underground tree. Dozens of stems extending from the tree were stuck in the dead bodies and sucking their blood.

“…It’s going to be tough.”

That was the scariest thing about the underground tree.

It attaches its stem to a living organism and steals nutrients until it dies, which gives it tremendous recovery power.

‘As the rules of the auction changed, everyone entered the boss room, which only increased his prey.’

Thanks to this, the stem of the underground tree increased exponentially, and the roots were expanding their territory not only to Solbit Island but also to the other two islands.

Thousands of lives had become its prey.

I couldn’t even guess how much it would grow if it ate that many people.

But ironically, this is exactly what Namgung was aiming for.

The thing is getting bigger and bigger.

“Okay, just eat until your stomach explodes.”

Fababat…!!

Namgung broke through the stems and burrowed into the inside of the underground tree.

Puuk –

Namgung dug in and drove the [Baekcheon Ganggeom] into the pillar where the core of the underground tree was located.

“Somin!!”

At that moment, he called his daughter’s name.

Quang! bang! bang! bang!!!

Like a lightning rod, Somin’s brain fire flew towards the place where the sword was stuck.

Quagga River—!!

The thunderbolt that fell with a loud roar was a pure white lightning, unlike before.

Crying –

At the same time, the necklace hanging around her neck trembled lightly.

Numbering 431.

Name: Galad’s Magic Necklace

Grade: Magic (best)

▶ A necklace made by Archmage Galad.

▶ Converts all attributes to nothing, but instead reduces the amount of magical power consumed by magic by one-half and doubles the power.

▶ Since it is a prototype, if you use it once, the circuit of the pendant will burn out and you cannot use it.

[Keeeeeek!!!]

[Kyaaaah!!]

The electricity that fell on the root traveled through the stem and struck the root hunters.

Jeok… Jeok…!!

They screamed and trembled as if in pain, then froze to a pure white color.

When Noehwa, whose attributes had disappeared, used the [Baekcheon Ganggeom], it took on the attributes of the ice world and slowly froze the underground tree.

Chwii Iik…!!

As the temperature dropped momentarily, it started eating people continuously, as if to maintain its body temperature.

“stop…! stop!! “You bastard!!”

Somin gritted her teeth and pushed in even more magic as screams erupted here and there.

“Whoop!!”

She felt dizzy and dizzy from the rapidly depleting magic power, but the more she did so, the more she kept her eyes on the underground tree.

pop-! Puff-!!

The frozen root hunters hanging on the stems were unable to withstand Somin’s brain fire and began to break and fall to the ground.

[Crunch… Crack….]

“…!!!”

Then, as if the underground tree thought that human nourishment was not enough, it even stuck a stem into the fallen corpse of the root hunter and sucked out the magical power of Somin contained within it.

“Dad… Now that guy is absorbing my magic!!”

Somin sensed that something was wrong.

At first, it was successful in inflicting instantaneous damage with a large amount of magical energy, but Somin’s attacks, which used magical energy to the limit, had no choice but to gradually weaken.

[Kru ….]

On the other hand, the underground tree, which began to absorb Somin’s magic, quickly recovered the wounds and began to become more incredible.

Dismissal…!! puck-!!

At that moment, the necklace hanging around Somin’s neck broke, spewing out sparks as if it had reached its limit.

“Tsk…!! What should I do? I think I failed. “In fact, he has become even bigger.”

Somin looked at him with a pale face. Somin’s legs faltered due to the effects of depletion of magical energy.

“no. good job. “If it weren’t for magical power, we wouldn’t have been able to grow it that far.” Namgung

lightly

supported her shoulder as she stumbled.

“To grow an underground tree to that extent… hundreds more people would have died. You saved the remaining people. “Somin.”

“…huh?”

At Namgung’s words, Somin turned her head back and looked at him.

“Leave the rest to Dad.”

Hwaaaaaaaaaah—!!!

At that moment, the spirit soldiers split into two branches and began to cut down the trunk of the underground tree.

Ride!!

Namgung, escorted by them, ran to the place where the core of the underground tree was located.

“You’re not doing well.”

He spoke quietly as he looked at the underground tree, which seemed to be almost twice as big as when he first saw it.

“Then try this too.”

Namgoong took something out of his arms.

It was [a leap of growth].

Sigh…!!!

When I sprayed the elixir where its core was, the underground tree, which had already grown to its size, began to swell like crazy.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu in us from us,

the thickness of the tree trunk doubled in an instant, and the stems swelled up as if air was injected into a balloon.

Damn…!

But at that moment, the swollen shell of the stem began to crack as if it could no longer hold on.

[…Guruk?]

Damn it! Wood-duk!!!

Swelling flesh began to break through the roots and stem shells here and there.

[Keeeeeeek—!!!]

At that moment, the bastard’s scream echoed throughout the island. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But it didn’t last long.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—!!!

Because in the end, my stomach exploded.
