Chapter 433 – 433. Hunt the High Undead

The threads spewing out in all directions from the puppeteer’s fingertips dug into the dolls embedded in the wall.

At that moment, the entrance to the blood donation closed, and Lee Eun-ji and Lee Eun-ha were immediately surrounded by dolls.

He had already dug his trap and was waiting for his prey to be caught.

As a result of being resurrected on Earth and hunting players, Puppet, the puppet master, realized that some players were unusually strong.

Players who properly rolled the snowball from the beginning of the disaster were sometimes as strong as Han Ah-ram right before the 2nd awakening, if not as strong as Jang Jo-jun.

The number of players who awaken their sensory stats on their own or achieve a second awakening by achieving hidden conditions is increasing. Furthermore, conditions for the secondary awakening of warriors and fighters were being discovered everywhere.

Okay. The world was becoming more and more difficult to survive, and in order not to die from being caught in the filter of updates, I had to struggle endlessly to become stronger.

‘People who risk their lives and struggle are strong.’

Puppet thought that a human who threw away all pride and desperately jumped into the struggle for survival could make even the high-ranking undead nervous.

Dane Peppet has already prepared for the players about three times, and succeeded in provoking and trapping the opponent first.

‘If they’re strong enough to enter the catacombs, even if there are only two women, they must be strong.’

A woman wandering around a place where she shouldn’t be means that the other side is strong enough to chew on the limitations of gender.

Puppet was not vigilant.

In the world of apocalypse, those who are not vigilant are strong. It is a fact that has already been proven numerous times through Jang Jo-jun.

“Eunha!! Come!!”

“Aaaaa!!”

“Hey!!! Don’t run away and fight together!!! That bitch!!!!”

As the dolls with different appearances rushed at her like crazy, Lee Eun-ha, who fell into a panic, screamed and ran away like a crazy person.

Because of her escape, Lee Eun-ji, who was surrounded by dolls in an instant, was filled with anger and cursed at her. She decided that Lee Eun-ji was more dangerous.

By the way, the reason they all look different is because they were originally human. Puppet’s puppets were the humans he hunted. Since he is a human doll, his appearance is bound to be different.

If there is one thing the dolls have in common, it is that they wear masks on their faces and have a hole in the middle of their chest where the heart should be.

“This shit..!!”

Lee Eun-ji hurriedly took out the great sword and Wanyudo of the Goblin King.

Both of them were exclusive weapons acquired while changing jobs to Shadow Hannya, and the use of the great sword had already been learned through countless sparring with Palus, and the wheel-shaped Wanyu could also be used like an automatic defense panel, so there was no problem.

Kwaaaaang!!!!

He swung his great sword and split the living dolls in half. Living dolls whose upper and lower bodies are separated and scatter rotting intestines. They were weak So, Eunji Lee thought she would be able to handle it easily and fight the puppet.

“Huh?”

However, they did not die as easily as Eunji Lee thought.

Threads were entangled in the broken body, and the body was sealed again.

The magic thread emitted by the puppet connects the broken doll. The human bodies that were attached to each other gradually increased and the dolls began to come together as if they had become a trio.

If you kill three of them, you will be revived as one bigger one.

Moreover, the bigger it got, the higher the destructive power and physical ability of the living doll. It is an unfavorable fight as time goes by.

‘Kill it. The more I kill, the stronger I will become.’

The puppeteer’s secret strangled Lee Eun-ji.

Countless dolls were combined, broken, and reassembled to faithfully accumulate damage to Eunji Lee’s body.

“Turn it off!!!”

Eventually, Lee Eun-ji, who allowed the 12 body-combined puppets to attack, flew off several meters and got stuck between the puppets.

Wooooo!!!!

“Cheuk-!!!”

Consciousness was momentarily interrupted by the heavy shock.

Countless hands gripped her body and scraped at her flesh.

Red blood trickles from the flesh where her fingernails cut.

Lee Eun-ji broke both of her wrists while forcibly blocking her attack, and missed her sword.

The goblin king’s greatsword was slammed into a place far away.

The puppets rushed at the greatsword and tried to pull it out, but the puppets were burned by the spirit contained in the sword.

Lee Eun-ji crouched down on her body as there was no way to bring her sword. After that, she surrounded herself with a shadow curtain to block the attacks of her puppets as much as possible. However, it is not enough. At the point where her wrists were broken, she was no longer able to continue the fight.

Catching a high ranking undead is a very difficult task. This was also the reason she only released 25 of them into the world in a week.

If too many return to the present world at once, human defeat is certain.

Just looking at the fact that all ranks from 2nd to 26th, except for Jang Jo-jun, who is currently ranked 1st, are filled with high-ranking undead, it is proof of how strong they are.

‘I’m going to die like this. If I die, the galaxy dies too. Then you need to find 2 resurrection stones. I’m going to put a burden on my brother and the others.’

I thought I was not afraid of death. Because I entered the catacombs under the assumption that I might die already. Moreover, since the resurrection item was unlocked, he thought it didn’t matter if he died.

However, when she was really in danger of dying, Lee Eun-ji’s mind came up with fear and reasons why she shouldn’t die.

He actually didn’t want to die. No matter how much he revives, everyone will be the same that he doesn’t want to die.

‘I don’t want to die..’

Gradually the shadow curtain broke.

The situation where there is not much energy left.

Victory or defeat will be decided within two minutes.

Perhaps Lee Eun-ji will die here.

If ‘she is her’, she is.

I’m going to go to the middle of the day–!!!!!

Eunji Lee’s shadow wriggled.

In her shadow, an oni in the form of a woman revealed her head.

Hannya, who had given up calling Lee Eun-ji because she doesn’t wake up easily once she fell asleep, finally woke up.

[There are many enemies. Do you think you will die?]

‘Yes. If this continues, I will surely die.’

[Okay? Hmm. Don’t help Give me one year of life instead.]

Did you ask for one year of life?

A year’s worth of life also meant that Hannya would borrow Lee Eunji’s body and release all her powers for one minute.

[One minute is enough.]

Eunji Lee nodded her head.

There was no way to deal with the broken wrist unless there was a recovery period of its own, and there was no way to fight because the damage had already accumulated on the body.

So I have to get some help.

There is nothing to be ashamed of not fighting with your own hands.

Because it is natural for weak humans to receive help from higher entities.

Even if she was half-human and half-yo, half of Lee Eun-ji was still human.

Therefore, there is no shame in enlisting the help of a perfect yōkai.

Honor and pride are of no help to survival.

In a situation where survival is premised, cowardice or cunning are virtues.

That’s why Lee Eun-ji gave up her body.

[Please wait a moment.]

The slothful Oni stood up to protect her precious bed.

Soon after, Eunji Lee’s face was covered with a threatening Hannya mask.

The shadows sway.

“It’s no use, bitch. Please be my collection.”

At the same time as the puppet’s provocation, the dolls buried in the ground reached out and grabbed Eunji Lee’s ankle.

No, they grabbed Hannya by the ankles. There was no more eunji here.

“Let’s play tag. I am the drunkard.”

Hannya laughed.

She trampled the ground once.

Kwakwang!!!!

The shockwave spread and collapsed around the soles of her feet. Also, the dolls holding Hannya’s body in the ground burst out and returned to a handful of meat.

Oni species are particularly overwhelming in terms of strength.

Enough to destroy an area simply by trampling on the ground.

Moreover, the threads that were trying to entangle Hannya’s body became taut, and her sin was severed.

All the abilities Puppet tried to use were blocked by the spirit power she emitted in all directions.

“What..?”

Only then did Puppet realize that her opponent’s condition was strange.

However, the moment he realized, dozens of dolls had already been slaughtered at once, and Hannya, who was holding the great sword of the goblin king, swung her sword at the puppet.

The dolls blocking his way had all been shattered. Moreover, the magic chambers he spread out to protect himself were cut down without even resisting.

Hannya moved beyond the limits of her body to beat the puppet in less than a minute. Without paying attention to her broken wrist, she swung her sword and reached her enemy right in front of her.

A breakthrough power that seems to have no inferiority to be called the vanguard of ten thousand horses.

It was part of the power Lee Eun-ji would gain during her second awakening.

“Caught.”

The greatsword was swung and the puppet was cut in two from the top of the head.

The puppet’s senses maximized his thinking power for a moment and made time flow slowly, and in the time slowed down by the sense stats, the puppet hurriedly changed into the body of a doll that had been hidden near the entrance and tried to escape.

“No cheating.”

Of course, the puppet couldn’t escape. It was because Hannyu waved his hand and fired the wanyudo at the doll hidden near the entrance.

Kwajijik!!!!

The doll to escape got stuck in Wanyudo and was crushed.

‘This.’

The puppet’s body was cut in two without even giving it time to think of another way to escape.

[Level increases by 1.]

The chase is over. Hannya took Puppet’s throat in just one minute.

The power of the sealed oni that guarded the idol of the god in the center of the missing person’s forest was unbelievably high.

Moreover, as much as the caster’s lifespan of one year was received, the power was further amplified. There is a world of difference between simply paying for magic power and paying for life span.

[I’m tired.]

Hannya, who successfully completed her mission to protect the dwelling, entered the shadow of Lee Eun-ji, who was very cozy.

Lee Eun-ji’s spirit deepened even more. He has acquired some of the king’s qualifications. Maybe soon she will be invited too.

The place where the remains of Orochi is located, and the place where all kinds of monsters, including the white-faced gumi hiding in room 512 of the black market confinement building, will compete.

“Kuheo..”

Eunji Lee knelt down as Hannya’s mask came off, vomiting her blood.

Even though he only devoted one year of his life, the recoil that came into his body was quite strong.

Her body was bruised because she moved more forcefully.

Her wrists were completely damaged beyond repair, and the muscles on her body were bursting in places, leaving her with blood and bruises all over her body.

‘It hurts..’

If this continues, the catacombs attack will fail. It couldn’t be. She was trying to somehow keep her conscious, but Lee Eun-ji heard Lee Eun-ha’s voice in her ears.

“Oh, sister!!!!”

Lee Eun-ha, who had fled, approached Lee Eun-ji, who was sitting down and vomiting her blood. She also had Lee Eun-ha struggling with her puppets, but she wasn’t as good as Lee Eun-ji.

Lee Eun-ha, who was specialized in hunting spirit bodies, was unable to hunt dolls faster than she thought, and she was suffering because she could not properly operate her primitive slime.

This clearly showed her lack of experience.

‘Because of me, my sister.’

The fact that she couldn’t properly assist Lee Eun-ji made her run towards Lee Eun-ji, who was sitting down, feeling an indescribable guilt.

“Uh, what should I do!! Sister! Can you hear me!?”

Lee Eun-ha didn’t know what to do. Lee Eun-ji’s eyes were empty as her consciousness was half blown away. It seemed that he couldn’t understand what she was saying.

“Sister! Eunji unnie!!!”

Called but there was no answer.

Of course, as can be seen from the fact that Hannya went in without taking any action, her body would soon recover if left alone. Because Eunji Lee is half a monster.

However, Lee Eun-ha, who had no way to know such a fact, was extremely nervous and guilty at the fact that Eun-ji Lee had suffered such a great wound because she ran away irresponsibly, and she fell into a half panic.

For Lee Eun-ha, her actual combat experience was that she wandered around the forest for a while when she was rescued by Jang Jo-joon in the Forest of the Missing, and that she took a night walk with Lee Hoon and swallowed her ghost. .

She had no idea what to do in this situation. The situation was too much for Lee Eun-ha, who was only 20 years old, to handle on her own.

‘Help me… Help me.’

Lee Eun-ha shed tears. She also prayed.

To her, it wouldn’t be strange if Lee Eun-ji died right away. There was nothing she could do but that.

Was it in response to her desperately begging for will?

Her primordial slime, which was protecting her Eun-ha Lee, swallowed her broken body Eun-ji Lee.

“Ugh!!! Hey!!! You can’t eat that!!!”

Eun-ha Lee suddenly tried to tear off the slime that her body was devouring, Eun-ji Lee, but it was after Eun-ji Lee was already devoured by her slime.

“Uh..?”

Air bubbles formed inside the slime.

Bubbles came out as if she was bubbling, and Lee Eun-ji’s wounds inside her slime slowly healed.

“What, what is it?”

Lee Eun-ha was embarrassed.

Unintentionally, she discovered a new use for the primordial creatures of outer space.

Primordial creatures from outer space specialize in protecting their masters.

That’s why it was equipped with such an additional function, and Lee Eun-ji’s body returned to its original state as if to repay her for feeding her loneliness.

It will take some time, but Lee Eun-ji’s body will recover within an hour.

Currently, Lee Eun-ji and Lee Eun-ha were stranded at the threshold leading to the third floor, and Son Ha-eun and Keker were on their way down to the second floor with a large army.

And Nanase Sora and Han Ah-reum, who fell to the 4th floor through a hidden route, were facing a new crisis.

“What is that.”

“Mo, I don’t know.”

Entering the king’s escape route, the two men were hiding in a corner and spying on the huge undead that looked to be 2 meters tall.

Huge undead wrapped in bandages were walking around the corridors guarding something.
