Chapter 128Flowering Night (8)]
The majority of the monsters that attacked the Dawn Hotel were of the Eighth Rank.
Monsters that cause physical damage to everyday life.
These monsters looked like little monkeys, throwing things as they could get their hands on them and clawing at people with their claws.
Monsters in the eighth rank were easily defeated by even E-ranked players.
Unless the Juggling Monkey was aligned with a seventh-rank monster, the Goblin.
The goblins, who were one rank higher than the little monkeys, played tricks and confronted the players.
Go away.
Before they knew it, the monsters had reached the fourth floor.
Eunha stabbed his rapier into the forehead of a juggling monkey that had climbed the staircase railing like a jungle.
The monkey didnt even get a chance to scream before it disappeared.
Then he leapt downstairs.
Landing directly in front of the goblin, he energized his rapier and quickly scanned the area.
A goblin in front of him.
And three juggling monkeys clustered around it.
Swiftly, he severed their throats.
With zigzag movements, he darted out and swung his rapier. The blade pierced the Goblins heart, and he adjusted its length to withdraw the sword, cutting down the three monkeys on either side of it.
This is ridiculous.
Barefoot from running down the stairs from the top floor, Oh Yeon-jung stood dumbfounded, her hair untidy.
It was inevitable.
The skills he had displayed belonged to a veteran player.
She thought she must have lost her head when she jumped from upstairs to downstairs, but the swordsmanship displayed by a child who was only an elementary school student was enough to make her jaw drop.
Why arent you coming down? What, are you going to run away?
No.
Oh Yeon-jung felt ashamed inwardly.
With a bullet wound in her shoulder, she was going to take the opportunity to run away from him.
As a supporter, she couldnt fight him alone.She planned to engage him after forming a formation.
But she couldnt run away from him.
Aside from keeping an eye on her back, monsters had been coming up from downstairs for some time.
Somethings wrong, there are more monsters than I expected.
It wouldnt be strange if the monster drive was over, but theyre still coming.
Oh Yeon-jung looked anxiously at the monsters swarming toward the hotel.
She broke out in a cold sweat.
She couldnt shake the uneasy feeling that things were going in the wrong direction.
Somethings wrong. Did you guys think that the players in the hotel alone could stop something of this magnitude?
Not to this extent, no.
Eunha clicked his tongue as she muttered in a small voice.
Apparently, things had taken an unexpected turn, and a serious one at that.
They must have evacuated safely.
I looked around the hallway. The bodies of people who had been mauled by monkeys were strewn about.
Among them were the bodies of children.
Some were dead in their blood-soaked gowns, while others had been ripped from their bodies by the monkeys, leaving them unclothed.
Some faces I recognized, some I didnt.
This sucks.
The sight of the faces I knew dead, unable to close their eyes, was enough to make me angry.
I shed mana on purpose.
The eighth-ranked Monster Juggling Monkey, who had been rummaging through some corpse in the hallway, and the ninth-ranked Monster Maggot, who had been eating the corpse, looked up.
The Juggling Monkey raised its butt menacingly and let out a murderous and menacing sound.
Revolver Thorn.
Eunha aimed his rapier at the monsters.
Mana flowed out of his body and turned into thorns that circled clockwise around the rapier, resembling arrowheads.
There were a total of seven manifested thorns.
His target was also seven.
Kie-Eek.
The closest Juggling Monkey lunged.
Eunha didnt move. When he aimed the rapier at the charging monster, one of the thorns circulating clockwise shattered its head.
A spell that enhanced Madness, a technique for keeping monsters at bay.
Monster Aversion.
It was a spell he had only been able to use after defeating one of the Tredeci, due to the rapid increase in mana in his body.
Why are these things acting up in front of me now?
Eunha raised his rapier above his head.
The thorns that had been revolving around the rapier remained still in place.
As the rapier was lowered, as if it were the signal to fire, the thorns that had remained in place suddenly flew towards their targets.
The monsters pierced by the thorns turned into mana and disappeared.
Ignoring the mana stones scattered on the ground, Eunha descended to the second floor.
As soon as he descended, he furrowed his brows in surprise.
He had expected it, but the situation was more serious than he had thought.
The monsters that had come up from the first floor were running around the corridors, fighting among themselves for prey.
The players arent coming, what are they doing?
Even as people were dying, there were no players taking on the monsters.
The few players that were there were disfigured and unable to fight the monsters.
That wasnt the problem.
The monsters that occupied the second floor had their eyes on him, their mouths agape at the sight of their newest prey.
It wasnt going to be an easy descent.
And the prey was not him but the others.
Hey.
Yes!
Dont think foolishly. Just follow me closely.
The stairs were still stairs. In the midst of the monsters coming up from the first floor blocking the way, they had to deal with the monsters chasing them from behind.
His senses were on edge.
He took a deep breath and leaped into the crowd.
He stabbed the nearest monster with his rapier, then adjusted the blade to pull it out of the monsters body.
He spun his body to cover the one who had tried to attack from behind and kicked aside the one rushing from the side.
His hands and feet moved nimbly. With no time to catch his breath, he cleared a path by wielding his sword.
One-point breakthrough.
Madness.
There was no space to swing the sword.
I stabbed the monsters in a straight line with my rapier and charged at the same time. With the added momentum and damage, the stabbed monsters became mana and scattered.
That gave me room to swing my sword, and as soon as my back was against the wall, I scattered the mana on my rapier.
Mana shattered into needle-like rain and held the monsters in check.
Incredible
Oh Yeon-jung followed the path he made, deploying a barrier around herself.
The occasional blade he swung, with a flying spell, shattered the barrier but did no damage to her.
The battle was unbelievable for a child.
Even among the A-ranked players, he had never seen a player swing his sword so nonstop.
What is it?
It was when they were halfway down the stairs.
Eunha stepped back as he saw the monsters waves becoming chaotic.
There was a flash of light where he was, and the remains of the creatures rained down.
From the fading flashes, a figure emerged,
No Eunha?
Teacher?
Im Do-hon and No Eunha.
For a moment, the two of them paused, then swung their swords at the monster that had appeared behind them.
As if in rhythm, two monsters were obliterated.
Before they knew it, their positions had changed.
Eunha, who had been looking down at Im Do-hon, was now looking up at him.
The two of them, mouths shut, stared at each other.
There was no need to explain what was happening
The monsters had attacked the Dawn Hotel, and Im Do-hon, as a former player, was
Finger play
Each of the ten mana threads, split into five each, turned into countless bullets and rushed towards the monsters.
Not a single monster survived the rain of bullets that rained down in a V shape.
Teacher!
Minji shouted from the other side.
Among the children was Lee Byungin.
Like a gust of wind.
Chanting a single spell, he covered the remaining distance in one breath.
Huh?
He slammed on the brakes with all his might in the middle and punched Lee Byungin with all his strength.
What a-are you doing?!
Lee Byung-in screamed as he hit the ground.
Im Dohon pressed on his abdomen with his foot and glared at the players who showed hostility towards him.
The remote control?
He released his mana, showing them that he could kill Lee Byungin at any time.
Re-remote control?
A bewildered Lee Byungin stammered.
Im Dohon kicked him in the abdomen.
The players employed by Lee Byungin remained silent.
His words were correct.
They, too, were uneasy.
They were just mercenaries, holding on for dear life to protect their clients.
I know youre the one who set this up. You have the switch to control this situation.
As Im Do-hon spoke those words, the eyes of several of the players hired by the private changed.
He realized that some of them hadnt fully grasped the full extent of the monster attack.
Surrounded by monsters, there was no need to make them enemies.
Rather, he needed them on his side.
Speak.
Im Do-hoon stamped his foot and threatened, and the players didnt try to stop him.
If you dont-
Lee Byung-in, whose face had turned red, struggled to breathe and whimpered.
He protested, and when he couldnt breathe anymore, he finally admitted it all.
I lost it, damn it!
It was a confession no one wanted to hear.
