Chapter 388 – 388. Undefinable Terror

It’s quiet outside.

At this, Quan of Envy, Marphas of Anger, and Neze of Lust rose from their seats.

“Kwan, Neze. Can you feel it?”

“Yeah.. Outside..”

“It’s quiet outside.”

“Uh… Is it real?”

Marpas, Kwan, and Neze were stuck in the corner of the storage room due to the turmoil outside.

While the three pillars were unable to do this or that, the battle had already ended, and the Celestial Islands were floating leisurely in the sky.

“Shall we go out?”

“That would be nice.”

Kwan opened the warehouse door. Outside, there were no more criminals crying out for pillar slaughter.

“Quiet.. Is anyone there?”

“Let’s go upstairs”

“Huh..”

Three pillars rose above the surface of the celestial archipelago filled with corpses.

The surface of the Celestial Islands was a mess with the bodies of many dead sinners, the blood left by the summoned summoned by Kim Ye-won, and the corpses of players whose heads had been cut off.

“Oh my God… What happened.”

“I mean.”

“Muh, I don’t know what it is… Couldn’t we have survived? I see… It seems like they killed each other?”

“At the end of death and killing… Are there only three of us left?”

“…”

Malpa nodded at Quan’s guess, and Neze slightly trembled at the unsettling aura that drifted slowly over the celestial archipelago.

“Something is… Strange.”

“Is it strange? What else?”

“Why wasn’t I reborn on the pillar of stinginess?”

“Hmm?”

All those who should be reborn on the pillar of stinginess were sucked into the pillar of blind faith, so those who died here were not reborn on the pillar of stinginess.

“The pillar has lost its function. This means…”

“It means that the guy who controlled the setting of the pillar from behind is still alive.”

“If I recall what that woman named Charlotte was talking about earlier…”

“They said that the stingy pillar would become the pillar of salvation in the future, and that the rights of the pillar were restored from wicked sinners.”

“But now, the only thing that sinners are not reborn as a pillar of stinginess is…”

“Nicholas and Charlotte’s rebellion ended in failure, and that evil criminal… That means that the cultist who woke up the beast and turned hell into a mess is still alive.”

“Look, I don’t see the body of Nicholas. The bodies of Antonio, Kate, and Amir Kwon are here, but the bodies of Nicholas and Charlotte are nowhere to be seen.”

“Did you escape alive?”

“I don’t know. For now, it seems better to get out of here quickly. If you ride on top of the Celestial Islands that are still moving like this…”

The three pillars who instinctively sensed that they might be taken to the cultist.

“Should I jump?”

“If you jump, you will die. You know where you will go when you die.”

“Shit.”

“No method. Let’s prepare for battle.”

“I remember there were quite a few weapons in the storage room…”

“I’ll try to arm myself as much as possible.”

In the end, the three pillars who pledged to fight were heavily armed with the items Andrea, the stingy pillar, had collected.

“Such high-quality weapons and armor in hell. I think I can do my best.”

“There is also a dagger made of floating stone that has tracking and retrieval functions.”

“This outfit… I think it would be nice to be dazzled. A dancer’s dance.. I might be able to do my best..?”

The three pillars gained a bit of confidence after acquiring equipment that could be said to be a half-exclusive item. In this state, I wondered if I would be able to compete evenly with beasts called ancient species.

At that time, the celestial islands began to shake greatly.

Koo Goo Goong–!!!

“Kyaaaaa!!!”

“This!! Is it an attack!!?”

“OMG!! Malpa!! Yes!!! Look behind you!!!!”

“Ki-pillar..!?”

The pillar of stinginess, which had been erected in the center of the celestial archipelago, was slowly disappearing from the top.

“What the hell is going on?”

“The pillar disappears…?”

“The movement of the Celestial Islands… Has become faster.”

At the same time as the pillar disappeared, the celestial archipelago, which was floating leisurely in the sky like a cloud, increased its speed.

“I can feel something over there.”

“Unbelievable aura…”

“The one over there must be a cultist.”

The three pillars trembled slightly at the gigantic energy that gradually drew closer. It was an aura that was hard to put into words.

Only then did the three pillars come to light.

The three criminals thought at the same time that the monster already there was so strong that it was difficult to compare it to the ancient species, and that it might be a disaster that they themselves could not handle.

Soon, the celestial archipelago landed in front of the entrance to the hidden throne.

Kwagwagwang..!

A huge land mass landed on the ground, causing a localized earthquake, and a cloud of dust covered part of the view.

Gradually the energy gets closer. The front was covered with dust, and the three pillars gradually grew tense.

In the end, Quan cried out from the pressure and spoke to Malpa.

“Whoa.. Whoa.. Ma, Malpa..”

“Don’t be nervous, Kwan. If you keep your mind straight…”

The horse that said I could live.

-Chururrrr

“Quaaaaa!!!!”

Malpa’s body floated up from the gigantic tentacles that flew through the dust.

Also, even Neze, who tried to perform a sword dance while holding a chakram, was thrown back by a bundle of tentacles.

“Ugh, ugh!!!”

Seeing the two pillars blown away in an instant, Quan half-lost his mind and flew his floating stone dagger frantically through the dust.

If the owner is registered, the six daggers that can be controlled with magical powers float in the air even when not holding them, and can be retrieved if thrown.

“Why…?”

However, none of the daggers thrown through the dust returned. In response, Kwan frowned and drew a sword from the scabbard strapped to his waist.

At that moment, darkness covered his eyes.

I couldn’t understand at all what was going on.

The enemy dyed the whole area into darkness, and immediately Kwan tried to maximize his five senses…

‘Damn it…! What is this darkness…’

The darkness created by deep research deceives the five senses.

I felt people everywhere and at the same time I was sure there was nothing.

Errors of depreciation agencies that cause contradictions. Quan swung his sword with Junggu Heating.

-Bahah!!!!

“Kuhh..!”

A dull shock transmitted through the stomach.

Kwan, who was a shota around 155 cm tall, was blown several tens of meters away by the heavy impact.

-Bang! Kwaaaaang!!!!

At the end of that blow, Kwan’s body rolled on the ground and landed on a red rock, as if a water swallow had been thrown. By then, the abyss covering Quan’s face had disappeared.

The five senses returned.

What I could see was Neze, who was dead after some time, and Marphas, who was being held by tentacles and was choking.

“Ahhhhh!!!!”

Kwan let out a scream.

The man’s face covered in noise, as if his entire face had been mosaic-processed by the memory conversion ring, came to his head with incomprehensible fear.

Moreover, Kwan felt a deep sense of despair as the two pillars, which he thought were clearly stronger than himself, were shattered in just over two minutes.

Adversarial impossible.

The opponent is not just a monster.

It was not an existence that could be estimated as an ancient species, and it was an existence close to a half-god that could not be fought.

“Please, please… Please…”

Seized with fear, Quan naturally threw his head on the ground, bursting into tears.

Assume a posture of submission. Banging his forehead on the floor several times, begging for his life.

As long as the soul is bound to hell anyway, even if it dies, it will come back to life, but even so, I just thought that I had to do something in fear that it might really end forever.

Rather, he was more afraid of not dying, and Kwan shook his body, wanting to perish at the end.

“I expected it because it was a pillar.”

Soon after, the monster who ripped off Marphas’ head and threw it away slowly approached Kwan.

He wasn’t even walking.

Tentacles protruding from behind his back were sliding his body forward.

“Huh… Heh…”

Shivering, Quan waited for the man to approach.

I didn’t dare to raise my head, and I couldn’t answer him.

At this point, even the envy and jealousy that had always been in the depths of Kwan’s heart disappeared.

The most important essential emotion that made up the character of Kwan disappeared as if castrated, and awe and longing for the other person took their place.

It has already been defeated at the soul level.

There was no way he could stand up to the entity that killed Neze and ripped off Malpa’s head.

Soon the man spoke to the trembling Kwan.

“What is your name?”

At the insensitive voice, Quan stopped crying and answered desperately.

“Me, me, me, me… My name is Kwan. I am Kwan, who is in charge of the pillars of poetry and envy.”

“Is it Kwan? I see.”

For a moment, Kwan had hope that he might be able to live.

The man’s voice calling his name is calmer than I thought…

-Kwajijik!!!!

“Kuaaaaa!!!!!”

Kwan’s left shoulder was slashed.

-Foohwaak!!!!

The upper and lower bodies were separated.

Whoops..!

Finally, the head was ripped off.

There is no way you can live

The moment he had hope that he would be able to live, Quan was crushed to death by Zhang Zhaojun’s hand.

Like a worm

[The level has risen by 1.]

[The level has risen by 1.]

[The level has risen by 1.]

Alerts popping up in an instant.

The Pillars of Mugan Hell could be said to be a lump of experience, and since I caught and killed three of them in almost two minutes by myself, my long aim grew to level 25 in an instant.

[Achievement achieved! ‘Breaking down on Chinese characters’]
[Achievement achieved! ‘Geumgang Buddha’]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]

“Oh.”

In addition to the level up that was finally achieved, Jang Jo-joon smiled at the achievement, with the insulation and durability stats each exceeding 200.

As expected, leveling up always feels good, he thought.

‘However, if you kill too many pillars, they can be destroyed forever…’

There was, in effect, a limit on the number of executions of criminals. If you kill them more than a certain number of times, their souls will be destroyed and they may perish forever.

Therefore, it is impossible to kill indiscriminately. We had to come up with a plan for this too.

‘Anyway, now…’

Jang Jo-jun checked the status.

“Oh oh..”

Every time I see it, I am amazed at the idea of ​​amazing status..

“What. What is my species like?”

Jang Jo-joon was astonished at the fact that his race name, which was half-human, had been changed to a question mark.

In fact, even the system was no longer confused about what to define him as.
