Chapter 258 – 258. The Seventh Tentacle Is Always Hungry

Returned to Eastern Camp with Mer.

I immediately took the captives and stormed into Ericsson’s office.

– Knocked up!

“Holly..!! Ah.. Joe, Mr. Joon?”

“Call me Joon.”

“Uh.. Jo, Jo Joon?”

“Okay.”

Ericsson spoke very poor Korean. I threatened to kill everyone if I didn’t master Korean within 6 months, so I’m learning Korean diligently.

It’s the same for all the survivors from Eastern Camp. Because they are all forced to learn Korean for 4 hours a day.

At first, I thought everyone would protest, but I heard that everyone is studying hard, saying that learning Korean is better than working for no pay. They even say that if you take a test and get good grades, you can take a day off, so everyone is studying with their eyes open.

Anyway, from now on, Korean is a universal language. Because I can only speak Korean.

“Hey. Are you the interpreter?”

“Yes, I am an interpreter!”

“Then tell me properly.”

“Yes!!!”

Since Mer was in the shower, she wasn’t there, so a Korean-American decided to translate for her.

He is a Korean-American male about 170cm tall, but I don’t even know his name. All I know is that Ericsson hired me to learn Korean as soon as possible, and that Erickson is always by his side while he is in his office.

“The two pilots here can fly the plane, so keep them alive as much as possible. Do not work separately And the two aunties here roll their own… And clear the way to New York’s Stewart Airport. On the way there are too many cars in the middle of the road. And also… Oh, send some ranged attackers to New York’s Stewart Airport to keep an eye on them periodically. There is an enemy base in France, so if a strange plane comes, shoot it down unconditionally. Don’t let it land safely. Tell me.”

“Ah, yep! Now, wait a minute…”

The Korean-American dictated my words in a notebook and soon translated them into English and told Ericsson. Erickson nodded and replied that he would take action.

It’s fortunate that there is someone who can speak Korean.

“Then I’ll go, so good job. Study Korean hard.”

“Uh… Yes! Thank you, Aim.”

I came out of Ericsson’s office. Now you can take Mer and go home.

‘But it’s very uncomfortable because I can’t communicate right away..’

The problem of communication is a problem that has been going on for a long time. A time-honored problem with our group, which began with the Japanese taken from the Forest of the Missing.

‘This is why I can’t always carry a communication potion…’

I used too many potions I had stocked up in the first place, so there weren’t many. You need to save money from now on.

‘That fairy… They’re all dying…’

The key ingredient in making a communication potion is fairy powder purchased on the black market and sprinkled by an unknown fairy. Hellas concocted a communication potion through the mystical powder that fell from the wings of this fellow with exceptional language skills.

Just looking at it, it’s like that fairy, and the loyal queen and the loyal black knight I bought last time… It seems that there are a lot of people who will take you to the Forest of Corruption.

‘Yeah, it’s about time.’

First of all, after raising the level to 20, I’ll go to the black market once, take a look at the peddler’s face, and then go straight into the Forest of Corruption. Since all of Nous’ three gods are already gathered, you can enter right away if you prepare properly.

‘Leveling… Come to think of it…’

At first glance, I heard from the slaves on the rooftop that there was a report that the approximate location of the ghost gate was found. Did I mention that the place is a park near Dongyeong University of Science and Technology? Along with the spot where ghosts are created near there, the gates open every night…

‘The confirmed monarch is the Lord of the Nether.. Lord of the corpses..’

There are a total of three types of monarchs of the afterlife crawling out of the demon gates.

First of all, the ‘myeongwang’ of the underworld. This guy is a skeleton reaper holding a sickle, but if you get cut by this kid’s scythe, you will face ‘permanent death’. It probably means that resurrection is impossible even with the power of the gods. Therefore, if he is killed by this guy, he cannot be resurrected even with a saint’s rosary.

Next is the ‘ghost king’ of purgatory. It is said that this is the owner of the ghosts, and if the soul is captured by this bastard, it will also face permanent death. And the last monarch and the one I have to go to kill is the ‘Siwang’ who crawled out of the nether world. He is said to be the lord of corpses. If his name is written on the list, he will die permanently.

According to my thoughts, I think it is only once or twice that you can write your name on the roster. If you use such fraudulent techniques at random, everyone will die, so you must have balanced them.

It seems that even that can be canceled. Even so, there is a lot of anxiety. It means that if you are killed once, you will die forever.

‘But I have to catch him right now and break through the level 20 wall. Even if everyone can’t raise it to level 20… I have to reach level 20…’

There is no choice but to acquire new skills. Apparently, due to her Bota Millie’s resurrection, I would be able to take skills related to her, but since I couldn’t raise her level, her growth was stagnant.

‘Because the only skill I have among the void attribute skills is the veil of void…’

Each of Indicron and Carshinax has 3 skills. Ejection of tentacles, observation of chaos, and rising flesh are the powers of Carshinax, and Abyss Maw, Abyssal Observation, and Abyssal Constriction are the powers of Indicron. So, I wanted to acquire at least two more void-related skills to keep the balance.

‘Now I’m level 17.. If I raise it to level 20, which is the limit level, I can take 3 more skills… I’ll leave out 2 skills related to the void for now…’

If you raise 3 more levels through the ghost gate attack, you will get a void attribute skill.. Maybe you will have a new void observation, so I want to get a void related attack skill along with it. I think you can choose the remaining seat by looking at the situation.

‘Since I remembered from observation, I’ll have to draw out summoned beasts in advance.’

I can make contracts with 3 in Abyss and 3 in Chaos, but there is no room left for Abyss. It’s because I signed a contract with the jet-black wheel, the deep pillar, and the dark moth. However, there are still two spots left on the chaos side.

‘Thanks to the three gods of black sand Ayla made for me, the burden of summoning has been drastically reduced.

Because I had so much magic power, I could have summoned another summoned beast after I had summoned Kissilia and Anax. I can’t help but call this out. Especially when Carshinax seems relaxed like today, if you use Observation, it might introduce you to a useful summon.

‘At this point, let’s cancel the contract with the dark moth and hire someone else…’

The jet-black wheel is a guy I can’t be without now, but the dark moth hasn’t had much to say about its performance since the Forest of the Missing. In the first place, I can’t use it because my intelligence is too low.

Once I stopped on my way to pick up Mer and went up to the roof of a nearby two-story building. I plan to open the entrance to chaos on a suitable rooftop.

‘Chaos Observation skill is unlocked…’

Now you don’t have to put your hands together to form a triangle. I used Chaos Observation on the rooftop door.

-Wooooo…

Then the entrance to the prison was followed by chaos. A mysterious light that poisons the mind emanated from the entrance. I felt very strange. I quickly shook my head and brushed off the hazy energy.

Then something gurgled in the chaos.

‘Something is coming…’

It wasn’t Anax-class energy. It was probably the strongest among the summoned beasts that could be contracted with Chaos Observation.

[The distorted malice reacts violently to Manma’s favor.]

[The ‘Seventh Tentacle’, a being nestled in the Twist, takes an interest in you.]

[Contract condition: Level 10 or higher. Magic stat must be 50 or higher. Must be a servant of Kashinax.]

[All three conditions are met.]

[Do you want to sign a permanent contract with ‘The Seventh Tentacle’?]

‘Oh…’

It was difficult to know how the existence beyond the gate came to be, but the fact that it reacted to something is important.

For Abyss Observation or Chaos Observation, the [Observation Failed] Notification window pops up and the skills are often invalidated. Even opening it once consumes one karma, so getting it all at once was the best benefit.

I immediately contracted the seventh tentacle.

[The contract has been concluded.]

With the notification that the contract was soon signed, I felt something settled inside me. A feeling of soul-to-soul connection. It’s a familiar feeling now.

As soon as the contract was concluded, chaotic observation was lifted. First of all, I need to find out what the new contract guy is doing.

[Seventh tentacle: This is the seventh tentacle that Karshinax removed. A piece of Karshinax that holds the power of transformation. It has a voracious appetite and transforms what it swallows into a being of chaos. You can contaminate people, objects, and everything around you with chaos. It has no fighting ability, but specializes in changing the character of the target. You lose 50 mana while summoning.]

“What is this sound..”

First of all, the magic power consumed for summoning was reduced to 25 with the Three Gods of Black Death that Ayla had made. That’s why I summoned the seventh tentacle without any pressure.

“Summons.”

Since it was not Kissilia or Anax class, the seventh tentacle was summoned without any notification window.

– Iron flounder.

-Grumble. Kuruk.

“Oh..”

He looks quite free-spirited.. Like.. How should I explain it? Guts? Yeah, that was kind of like guts. It’s something elongated like a mandelman with a snout and anus. I’m sure I’ve seen creatures that look like that.. Let’s see..

‘Oh, bitch. Yeah, that thing looks like a fucking bitch…’

An exquisitely matched creature came to mind. The seventh tentacle resembles a dog fire. Of course, it was much more disgusting than Gaebul, and it was disgusting to the extent that it wriggled and vomited at all times, but the overall shape was Gaebul.

‘Indycron is mainly about bugs.. Does Carshinax look like a marine creature?..’

Once I approached the bastard. For some reason, a mental wave was flowing from the seventh tentacle, wanting to touch it.

– Soggy…

“Ugh..”

My hands were full of mucus. It’s quite sticky and smells like weird meat. No matter how you look at it, this kid seemed to have no ability to move. It’s definitely the kind of pet that has to be put in one place and petted all day long.

“This is fucking.. How should I use it…”

In the detailed information, it was said that if you feed this youngster, whether it is an object or a human, it will come out as something contaminated with chaos.

I immediately checked to see if there was anything I could put in this guy.

“…”

Then suddenly, I got my hands on something I shouldn’t have. An excellent instrument of torture and one of my few swords.

[Now, wait… Master. You’re trying to put me and Dodomeki into that hideous monster, aren’t you..? That.. Is dangerous..]

“…”

[Wait a minute!! It’s not possible!!!! Turn off!! No!!!]

I threw the ghost sword with Yang Ji-sang and Dodomeki’s souls into the hole of the seventh tentacle, where I couldn’t tell whether it was an ass hole or a mouth.

[Geez!!!]

[Kyaaaaa!!!!]

I hear the howling of two souls. Either that or not, the seventh tentacle was so delicious that it trembled as if going crazy and swallowed the Gukgokdo I fed it.

-Rurrrr. Buruk…

-Pop..!

“Eww. It’s a really great visual…”

I thought the jet-black wheel was the most disgusting and shitty guy until now… But this bastard is also formidable. Even this guy has something disgusting. If my fast and nimble jet-black wheel was disgusting and terrifying… This wriggling creature was disgusting and repulsive.

“Wow… I don’t want to touch it…”

First of all, I checked the ear curve protruding back through this guy’s anus. It was thick with mucus and very sticky.

[Degenerated Ghost Island: It is a ghost island that has been completely altered with remnants of chaos buried here and there. There is twisted flesh between the broken blades.] [The souls of Yang Ji-sang and Dodomeki are fused and become ‘unknown.’]

“Huh.. Hey, Yang Ji-sang.. Can you hear me..?”

[Ah.. Ah.. The owner.. Ah.. I.. That? Is she her? I don’t know.. We became one.. Haha.. I’m happy… Squirming… Squirming… I’m happy..]

Yang Ji-sang went half crazy. No, is this Dodomeki? I don’t know. It seemed that they were mixed together and became one. Well, it wasn’t particularly pitiful or anything. He wasn’t even that useful in the first place.

“Hmm. With this effect.”

With this, he could roughly figure out how to use the seventh tentacle.

This is unconditionally sent to hell. The time has come to turn parasitic humans into ‘transformed parasitic humans’.

‘Suddenly, the Reformation took place to the extent that I and Manmajeon were worshiped..’

Saying that it will bestow great blessings, I will have it voluntarily eaten by the seventh tentacle.
