Capítulo 120: Episode 120: Goo Jin-cheol
[Cheongyeon]
Giiiiiiing… … !!
As I focus my magic on my eyes, Cheongho's mansion, far away, suddenly comes into close-up.
There is no sound, but the window in the room where Hyun-ah Jung is supposed to be can be seen broken. What can be seen through the broken window is the back of Jeong Hyeon-ah... … .
"Ugh, as expected."
Gu Jin-cheol's face is visible. Yeah, that guy is the only one.
Looking at his mouth, I said, 'Take it!' Or, it seems like he's shouting something like 'keu! hee! ha!' In general, 'take it' would be correct, but considering that he is a traitor who plays a typical and classic role, 'ke!he!ha' might actually be correct. No, this is not the time to think like this.
[You have accepted the unexpected quest!
<Search Quest: Tiger's Daughter>
The daughter of Cheong Hao, one of the three heads of the Triad, has been kidnapped by someone. Check Hyun-ah Jeong's location and ensure her safety.
! Time limit: Hyunah Jeong dies after (2) hours. !
Reward: 450,000XP + Cheongho's trust + 300,000,000 won + bonus based on mission performance
In case of failure: You will have a hostile relationship with the Triad.]
what? Now I'm accepting the quest as I please?
"Wait a minute, are you doing this?"
Isn't this the same message that was printed before when we had to find Jeong Hyeon-ah? Well, in reality, bugs like this often occur when playing games.
[! Time limit: Hyunah Jeong dies in (5) minutes. !]
"Hey, it was just 2 hours!"
[! Time limit: Hyunah Jeong dies in (4) minutes. !]
… … Okay, do whatever you want.
Anyway, I can't take any more time. I raised my magic power and flew into the sky.
[The unique function of the L-class clothing 'Wings of the Night Shroud', 'Wings of the Heavenly Demon', is activated.
// Wings of the Heavenly Demon: Automatically casts the 'Flight' spell.]
Cheongho's mansion, which was visible in the distance, quickly approaches.
Smoke from trailers, collapsed walls, and broken windows!
[Arrow of Destruction]
[Spell Enhancement: Explosive]
[Spell Enhancement: Chain Explosion]
Kwaaaa!!
"Aaaah!!"
"Aaaah!!"
Part of the wall collapsed along with the window.
Shards of glass fly in all directions, shards of stone rain down, and dust rises.
In the process, the furniture, fixtures, books, and even a few people that were on this wall were rumbling! Rumbling! Uddangtangtang! Argh! All kinds of chaos occurred simultaneously.
I looked down at the audience with my feet on the window frame that had not yet been completely shattered.
A bodyguard fainting in a corner. Chae Tae-won is lying face down with blood on his head. Shim Young-hwan, who had been beaten earlier, and Goo Jin-cheol, who is grabbing Jeong Hyun-ah's neck with one arm. And anyway, Jeong Hyeon-ah is still safe. In addition, there are NPCs of little importance to the Triad who are hesitating helplessly outside a certain distance.
And mouths opening at the same time.
"Wizard!"
"Kim Shinhwa!"
"You problem solver!"
"You son of a bitch! "You've finally come this far!"
Although various words are used, they generally have similar meanings.
"They are all referring to me. "Am I a little late?"
"It's already too late! "Get out now!"
[System: The 'Enhanced Vigilance' trait is activated.]
The pistol in Gu Jin-cheol's hand is pointed at me.
[Distortion field]
Taang!
Even before the trigger was pulled, the activated distortion field distorted the trajectory of the flying bullet. A hole opens in a corner of the ceiling along with a dull popping noise.
"W-what?!"
bang! Bang bang bang!
Puck, ping, ting, puck. Objects of various materials scattered around the room showed what sound they made when hit by bullets in different ways.
"Hey! This monster! "Don't come closer!"
Crash.
In the end, Gu Jin-cheol changes the direction of the gun. As is the nature of a low-level villain, the muzzle of his gun is aimed at Jeong Hyun-ah's temple.
"Ugh… … Oh, wizard... … !"
"Don't fuss! "No matter how much a magician can fly and crawl, he can't use magic faster than blowing a hole in this girl's head!"
"Ah really. Director, I knew you were really trash, but it would be difficult if you acted like trash like that. "Wouldn't it be much healthier to take that young, healthy man over there hostage, rather than a minor?"
I pointed to the bodyguard who was unconscious in the corner. He did all kinds of over-the-top actions on his own, but at the crucial moment, he fainted and lay down. Tsk tsk.
Besides that, there are other young and healthy people in this room. The Cheongho Sect's henchmen are unable to get any closer from a certain distance away. Where on earth and what were you doing to bring things to this point?
"Kim Shinhwa! "Please, miss!"
These are the words spoken by Taewon Chae, who was lying on the floor. Ugh, take care of yourself.
"S-don't use useless tricks! why! "Why are you interfering and messing up my plans from start to finish!"
"Maybe it started when the director looked at me strangely? Actually, I was guessing. "From the moment I made eye contact with the director, our fates would become intertwined in this way."
"What on earth are you talking about! "You lunatic!"
So, from the moment I entered the conference room and Koo Jin-cheol looked at me with an unlucky smile, I had been thinking that things would end up like this.
"I can tell you one thing for sure: I gave the director one chance. Just to be honest, I could have just slept on the evidence and made up an appropriate excuse after being held captive."
"Hmph, so what are you saying?"
"Don't shoot that. If you don't shoot, you'll get beaten up a little, be humiliated a little, lose some of your property, lose your status, and lose a lot of the connections you've built up... … hmm… … You have a lot to lose. But no life is lost."
"How dare you… … dare… … ."
Are you mocking me? It seemed like she was trying to say something like that, but she was so angry that she couldn't say any more as her face turned bright red.
There is only one reason why I am saying such nonsense.
No matter how obsolete they are, Koo Jin-cheol and Shim Young-hwan are people who play the role of executives in this triumvirate.
It is not easy to cast magic while avoiding the eyes of both people.
"Director! "That guy uses magic!"
"what!?"
"late!"
A huge amount of golden sand began to fly from both my hands.
[Ka's Golden Sand]
[Spell Enhancement: Maximization]
[Spell Enhancement: Multiple Casting]
Hwioooo!!!
"Aaaah!!"
Gu Jin-cheol reflexively raised one arm and took a defensive stance.
It seems that he consumed various precious elixirs in his later years, as a lot of magical energy moves in that one movement. However, the target for whom this magic will be effective is not Gu Jin-cheol or Shim Young-hwan.
"Ugh… … ."
Jeong Hyeon-ah's body went limp.
dump. Thump, boom.
This is the sound made by the members of the Cheongho faction surrounding the center falling down.
"W-what?! what!?"
Shim Young-Hwan was shaking his head in all directions in a panic.
"Si, Shinhwa… … Why on earth... … ?"
Only Chae Tae-won, who had the least amount of tolerance, fell asleep without saying a few words.
"Well, are you asleep? why? What did you do?"
"Again, aren't we adults anyway? "It is true that morals are collapsing and society is being ruined, but wouldn't it be better to keep the minimum line and have adult-only conversations while minors are sleeping?"
"W-what!? Magic before you know it!? "But what did you do!?"
"Sleep magic. What will happen from now on is a bit too much for a child to see. Those under 18 years of age are not permitted to attend. "Have fun together as adults, right?"
"Are you looking at me funny? "I don't think I can shoot!"
Slam!
[Gremlin's Scream]
Jjiiiing!!
Slam! Kwazijic!
The moment he pulled the trigger toward Jeong Hyeon-ah's head (Wow, you idiot! You really shot him!?), instead of firing the bullet, the gun itself disintegrated and scattered at will.
A magic spell was cast on Jeong Hyeon-ah. Naturally, the body strengthening magic would be helpful for the bodyguard, but what would be the use of strengthening Jeong Hyun-ah's body when she is just a child?
If a hostile person tries to shoot, an equipment destruction spell will be activated.
"Cho, the gun is broken!?"
"The attack itself failed, but-."
A bright blue glow begins to emanate from my mask. A large amount of magical power escapes through the mask.
"-It is true that an attack was attempted, so the trigger has been activated."
"trigger?"
"Yes, operating conditions. "I lent the artifact to work if someone attacked the owner."
Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… … Well ... … .
Is it a summon rather than an artifact?
"I'll say it again, I warned you earlier. "Don't shoot."
But it seems like my voice can no longer be heard by Shim Young-hwan and Koo Jin-cheol.
"what is this sound? what is this sound? What are you talking about? "I'm hearing an unpleasant sound!"
"I hear a strange sound. I hear a strange sound. I hear a strange sound. Something is coming! "Something is growing!"
Well ... … Well ... … .
An unpleasant sound is heard that shakes the human spirit. The noise of a predator imprinted in the DNA of the human species is being heard. It is not a fear that can be suppressed through reason.
An unpleasant presence creeps out from Jeong Hyeon-ah's arms.
The egg I gave you.
It originated from the bodily fluids of the [Black Goat that Breeds Madness], once drank the magic power of the [Father of Ghouls], grew by eating the flesh of a parasite from space, and eventually mutated after eating the magic power of the [Blind and Foolish One]. One piece of flesh.
Well ... … .
Honestly, I never thought I would grow into something like that.
'It' continued to grow with pale milky tentacles flowing. Ugh, it's using up more magic power than I thought.
A crackling or crackling noise is repeated. The wriggling tentacles split here and there, and the most unpleasant snout opens.
Dozens of sharp teeth with moist fluid flowing from their mouths are revealed. Ugly, misshapen teeth that grew out of nowhere.
One more tentacle, and then another, quickly grows into dozens or hundreds of tentacles. They are constantly twisting, twisting, and wrapping around each other, continuously twisting and intertwining.
Guchajeol's mouth and eyes open wide. His reason had already collapsed. Some meaningless noise comes out of his mouth.
"why? this? what? uh? eww? why? ah?"
Shim Young-Hwan, who was a little further away, said something slightly more meaningful.
"why? why? why? why? why? why?"
Simultaneous noises flow from hundreds of mouths pierced by pale tentacles.
"hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry." "hungry."
This monster has many names, including the Forest Child, the Pale Child, the Goat's Son, the Tree of Death, the Goat's Hand, the Mother's Bell, and the Wriggling One, but the most famous name is probably the Dark Young.
I scratched my head for a moment and then said.
"Well, I made a promise, so I can't help it. Director, I'm sorry, but I warned you."
At the center of the gigantic tentacles, a huge body shaped like a swollen hump rises. And a huge mouth opening in the center. It is a huge hole that can easily swallow a person.
It happens.
A noticeably large tentacle flowing from a huge maw. A sticky bodily fluid was flowing from it, an unpleasant color almost gray in color.
That's a tongue.
Whirly rirric.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! Ahahahahaha!"
You can hear Gu Jin-cheol's laughter wrapped around his huge tongue. It is a terrible laugh that only a person whose mind is completely destroyed can make.
"Ahahahahahahahahaha!!!"
Younghwan Shim constantly mutters words whose meaning is unknown. He wondered if it was a prayer, but he didn't know which religion it was from. Maybe it's a religion that just emerged.
"Eha, eah, ehahahahaha!!"
Tsk tsk, tsk tsk.
Crackling.
Crackling.
Crackle, crack, crack… … .
Cradle, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack , Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack Cradle, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, Cradle, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack.
