Yoo Ji-hyeok came back about 10 minutes after he had gone into the shadows.
“It’s a trap. There is nothing inside.”
These were the first words from Yoo Ji-hyuk, who came out of the shaking shadow without a sign.
“The body was full of undead with poison, and the deeper you go, the stronger the poison. It was all blocked by a maze-like terrain. As Hyeonu said, it was a trap that tried to dry us up and kill us. we are looking for… Nor was it.”
“Then what shall we do? You can’t leave this as it is.”
“You can’t burn it with fire. Swimming, can you control that much?”
Han Soo-young shook her head at Choi Hyun-woo’s slurred words.
“That’s not allowed. We don’t even know how big it is, and if it’s firepower enough to melt the undead, we’ll get caught up in it too.”
Hyeon-woo Choi and Lee Yu-na nodded their heads involuntarily at her subsequent words.
“Above all, this is private property.”
“ah.”
“I know about five or six magics that neutralize undead masses. However, there is only one method that can be used in this case… The problem is that it does quite a bit of damage to buildings as well. It’s not like we went through a fair process. It can’t be smashed blindly… .”
“Don’t worry.”
Lee Ye-eun put her hand on Han Soo-young’s shoulder as if not to worry.
“I will ask you everything. Everything like this mall and the buildings around it.”
She nodded and smiled at Han Soo-young.
“So, don’t worry and let it cool down.”
“… … .”
At that, Han Soo-young nodded and walked to the front of the pit and stopped.
Then he began to mumble in a small voice, and the magic of the atmosphere began to vibrate so much that even Choi Hyun-woo, the most ignorant of magic, could understand it.
“If Sooyoung shoots magic inside, let’s block the entrance as it is.”
Yoo Ji-hyuk nodded in response to Choi Hyun-woo’s words.
“And we can protect the ruined entrance with a golem. He wouldn’t be able to make multiple traps like this… .”
As he spoke, he reflexively flinched at the sensation of his heart pounding.
Han Soo-young has sent magical energy into the pit.
As if pouring out everything that was hidden deep inside, Han Soo-young, who had released magical energy for a while, kicked the ground with her feet.
“Everyone step back!”
Before Han Soo-young could open her mouth, the party took a few steps back.
As soon as she finally escaped, the floor around the pit cracked and collapsed in an instant, blocking the pit.
“Both of you, keep them here and stop them from crawling out. And in case of any unforeseen circumstances, I have a way out.”
At Yoo Ji-hyuk’s command, the two golems nodded their heads.
Then, as if to carry out his orders, he began to move, leading his huge body with a thump.
While he was preparing to make the golem with the last remaining potion bottle, Lee Yu-na, who was standing next to him, tilted her head and said.
“Jihyuk, when did you get hurt here?”
“uh?”
As she tapped and touched the nape of his neck, Yoo Ji-hyuk raised his finger and scratched it as if it was nothing.
“uh… Well, it’s okay, it’s okay.”
“Still, if you were injured by an undead, you might be infected. How dangerous is the poison of the undead.”
Saying that, Lee Yu-na took out a band-aid along with a potion from her arms.
He was about to refuse, but he quietly thrust his neck into her, thinking that there would be nothing good to draw attention from here, and that it would be better if he could cover up his wounds.
Youna smiled a little as if she liked it.
“Come on, even if it hurts a little bit… ?”
Lee Yu-na stopped wiping his wounds.
There was only a small scratch left on his neck, but she could sense that for some reason that wasn’t all.
After pondering for a moment, she began to sniff him carefully so as not to be noticed by him.
To be precise, he had begun to entrust the reverberation of the magical power left in the wound.
“Is it Yuna?”
“Ah, yes. It’s all over now.”
She smiled softly and put a band-aid around his neck.
She reflexively slapped the back of his hand, reaching for the wound, as if to warn her.
“Don’t touch me. It was a small wound, but it’s something I don’t know.”
Perhaps surprised by her more decisive attitude than expected, Yoo Ji-hyuk nodded his head without saying a word.
As she quietly organized her things, she began to recall the reverberation of the magical power she had previously smelled.
‘Let’s go… .’
His wounds were obviously those that someone had bitten off.
But, as if to cover the wound, someone had applied his magic power.
Without gaps, as if licking with his tongue.
I don’t know what kind of English it was there, but his wounds were almost healed already, and he didn’t feel any abnormality.
“… … .”
No, he was stronger than when he came in.
I wondered what the hell was going on, but while thinking like that, I moved a little closer to Yoo Ji-hyuk.
‘… okay.’
It must be hidden for some reason.
He was the one who shared the biggest secret to himself with an apology.
If that’s what he doesn’t say, there must be a good reason for it.
‘There… .’
If he did, it was his job to protect him.
After coming to the conclusion, Lee Yu-na paid more attention to the sense of sensing the surroundings.
It was time to go deeper than that.
“… here.”
Yoo Ji-hyuk, who suddenly stopped walking, muttered.
And he used the branches of the World Tree and Henir’s shadow to smash the walls and floors.
Then, the iron gate that had been cleverly hidden was revealed, and Choi Hyeon-woo, who saw it, naturally swung his sword towards the iron gate.
His sword also cuts off the magic that was hung along with the iron gate.
Almost at the same time, a hideous disgusting odor emanated.
“Ugh… .”
The faces of the party were distorted by the bad smell that even a hunter mask that filters out any poison and odor could not be stopped.
In such a situation, Choi Hyun-woo pulled out a short sword from his arms and walked inside first.
“what’s this.”
Inside the space, things that at first glance could be mistaken for a hospital operating room were lined up.
However, the operating table with shackles and locks, the formalin bottle with parts that appear to be human, the smell of blood and fishy smell that cannot be erased even by the smell of drugs, photos of corpses taken from various angles like a mugshot of criminals, And the unknown altars and altars in one corner… .
There was no way that these things were placed in an operating room.
“yes?”
From surgical tools such as scalpels and tongs to saws, hammers, and chisels, Han Soo-young picked up something while looking at the tools he had prepared for people to use.
“… necklace? No, rockets?”
Han Soo-young carefully opened the bloody rocket.
Inside was a picture of an old man.
Han Soo-young, noticing that something was engraved on the inside of the rocket’s lid, read it.
“A proud colleague, David.W. Walcott. I praise you for your bravery, and I hope that the sand of the land you will walk will welcome you warmly… .”
Han Soo-young, who closed the rocket with a click, could recall that he had heard the name ‘David.W. Walcott’ he had just muttered somewhere.
“Crazy.”
Choi Hyeon-woo, who was next to her, looking around, saw the bloodstains on the saw or scalpel and sharpened his teeth.
“Did you make the undead here?”
“no.”
Choi Hyun-woo reflexively threw a short sword at the voice he heard.
However, the short sword bounced off with a sharp iron sound, and something that bounced back threatened him with a metal sound.
[Kaah!!!]
“Exactly, processing is done here. It’s about making a work of art.”
Even from a distance, a being wearing a robe that looked like a luxury item muttered with a squashed voice.
Rather than being slurred, his voice seemed to be filled with the wind in his words.
“… rich.”
Yoo Ji-hyuk muttered quietly.
And when he saw that each of them gathered around him with their weapons drawn, the lich with only bones left shook.
“Come on.”
In addition to the three undead that he had just met, dozens of undead with unusual appearances were flocking to his side.
“Rats.”
* * *
“If this is enough, why don’t we just accept him as our outside adviser?”
Evangeline Lohengrin, who had been miffed until recently, muttered like that.
She sighed as if tired of seeing the undead flocking to the streets with a force that seemed to fill the streets.
“What the hell did you do, you don’t know until you hide like this? If they were released, the real capital would be harpooned.”
“No, these undead are unusual.”
Laura Hartmann, a paladin wearing armor, which can be said to be his pronoun, recites a brief prayer.
“I can’t feel the energy of the undead. It’s no wonder they didn’t notice. And if that’s the case… It seems that the focus is on the number rather than the strength of the individual. It must have grown like this in such a short time. So we didn’t know ahead of time.”
“What? Does that make sense?”
“So, the necromancer is a public figure that has been ordered to annihilate the world. In theory, an excellent necromancer can create dozens of undead with a single corpse. Even if the individual has weakened, it is a threat to the general public, and Necromancers prefer long-term battles in the first place.”
She muttered like that, and started to form a handshake while holding a shield and a long sword.
“It’s a conclusive story, but except for Richyard, Gamaltera, and Wuwei because they were injured… okay. I had to bring Anastasia.”
“Everyone is busy. The three of us barely made time to come, didn’t we?”
Lee Myung-jun muttered while raising his trident.
“Will it be us?”
All three of them brought a few people with them, but after realizing that the situation was unexpectedly serious, they sent them all toward the wall.
Evangeline Lohengrin began to cast a spell and glanced behind them.
Behind them were Alice Blesbuck and Cass Lyle.
‘… Something doesn’t feel right.’
There was no doubting their abilities.

On the contrary, she knew very well that very few people could be as trustworthy as the two of them under these circumstances.
But, for some reason, he kept trying to stick his head in the corner of his heart.
‘Let’s focus. Concentration.’
It was a car that threw away any thoughtless thoughts and concentrated its magic power to clear the road at once.
“But I also agree with you, Eva. Yoo Ji-hyuk… In the case of that kid, he’s so good that I don’t even have to wait until graduation. No, there were a lot of talented people besides that. If possible, let me graduate early… .”
“Puff.”
“… What’s funny, Evangeline?”
Laura asked at Evangeline’s sneer.
Evangeline grinned.
“Why are you that Ahn Do-hoon? Are you trying to take him to your guild?
“What?! Hey, what nonsense are you talking about… !”
“Because he’s a student, can’t we just forget that it’s a crime? Besides, it’s probably because of the fact that the first nephew is like a child, or Joo-hyeok, he’s just so cheap. It seems like he was trying to hand over his guild too… Can you convince him?”
“Wow, what… I know that you are the one who kept talking to that student named Ivan!”
“yes? I was just talking with a student who came up with an interesting topic? He was the overwhelmingly first place in my class. Plus, he’s smarter than most kinky people, so to be honest, it helped me a lot too. It’s a magic palace.”
Evangeline said so and held out her right hand in front of her.
“Yeah, like this for example.”
Then, a shape like a bow appeared from her arm.
Soon, numerous magic arrows began to appear over them as if multiplying.
“Bread.”
Evangeline’s playful finger movement was the signal.
The magical arrows that filled the air were mercilessly smashed into the undead as they rushed at them, and nearly half of the undead filling the street literally evaporated in that brief moment.
“Okay, this is me and Evangeline.”
Seeing this, Myung-Jun Lee thumped and struck the floor with a trident and said,
“Laura, Alice, and Lyle-kun. The three of us go to the support first.”
“I do.”
“Oh, wait a minute… .”
Cass Lyle said so, took out the potion bottles from her arms and threw them away as if scattering them.
Evangeline whistled a little when she saw giant golems waking up here and there.
“Awesome?”
“Okay then, let’s move… ?!”
Without speaking, Lee Myung-jun shot a lightning bolt at a certain place.
It was clear there was nothing in the air, but a bloody fog suddenly gathered and a woman appeared, blocking it like a stream of lightning he had fired.
“He’s a good kid.”
The woman who mumbled that, grinned and showed her fangs.
“Oh my, do you have two pretty children that I like? I should have those two. And above all… .”
The woman, Natalia Milited, muttered, staring at Alice Blessbuck, whose complexion had turned white.
“The ungrateful bastard who dared betray this mother is here too.”
* * *
“It’s crazy.”
Belluna, who looked down at their sight from a higher place, murmured with an excited voice.
Along with numerous undead, Natalia Milited, and the strong and half-vampires of humans who oppose them, and the eerie homunculus.
Belluna, who looked at him happily, noticed that the phone she had kept in her arms was ringing.
“yes? For Belluna?”
Belluna replied playfully with a chuckle.
“Yes, son. yes. Mom said she ate well. I don’t eat anything my son told me not to eat, and I’m brushing my teeth well. huh? Did Yoo Ji-hyeok ask you to contact me?”
Belluna nodded her head with a sullen expression on her face.
“Um, yes. okay. son. Call me if you like… eww! I know, I’ll call you right away when I’m done with what I’m doing!”
Belluna, who dropped the phone from her ear as if she didn’t want to hear nagging, nodded with an attitude that she still didn’t like it.
“Yeah, I’m working right now. huh? What’s going on?”
She tilted her head as if contemplating for a moment before answering, looking at the other side of the hand holding the phone.
“Well, to put it bluntly, maybe… Courier delivery?”
Hyeonhwa Nam was hanging in her hand.
And Nam Hyeon-hwa, who was suddenly called a courier, was making a very sorry expression.
