Chapter 64 – 64. Blast, Break, Steal (2)

Beep—–

The reverberation of the explosion left in my ears.

The noise around you is blocked by tinnitus, so you can’t hear anything.

“Sir Baal…”

Something exploded.

Could it have been a bomb?

I don’t know.

While I was drinking liquor with a woman next to me, two Awoken members from the central association ran into the conference room.

They had long firecrackers in their hands, and they exploded as they were about to say something.

As a result, more than half of the drinkers in the executive conference room exploded.

In particular, it was difficult to recognize the shapes of those near the entrance they ran into.

“Fuck…”

Moon Geun-oh stood up from his seat.

His hands were smeared with the flesh of a woman he had used as a shield.

The moment he felt a sense of danger, Moon Geun-oh grabbed an unknown non-awakened woman who was pouring alcohol next to him and used it as a shield.

The woman, who was useful in blocking the aftermath of the explosion and the flying shrapnel, turned into burnt meat and died.

“Hey. Tae Seok. Hey! Wake up!!!”

Several pieces of wood were embedded in the stomach of Kang Tae-seok, his right-hand man.

Moon Geun-oh, who believed Kang Tae-seok was wrong to live, spat out abusive language.

“Fuck… Fuck. Fuck fuck!!!!”

Dying or dying

No normal guy All the guys in the executive conference room were smashed somewhere.

“Whoa..”

Moon Geun-oh sighed as he looked at the bracelet on his wrist.

If it hadn’t been for this bracelet she had bought from the peddler the other day, if it hadn’t been for the woman she was wearing next to her, if it hadn’t stopped the explosion quickly, if she’d been sitting near the entrance herself. If he had, he would probably have been caught up in it and died.

Of course, that doesn’t mean Moon Geun-oh is in a normal state.

He also had itchy skin all over his body, as if he had been burned, and it was difficult to hear the sound as if his eardrum had been torn in the aftermath of the explosion.

Moreover, thanks to lifting the woman to block the explosion, several fingers on his right hand were bent and his wrist was slightly twisted, causing tears to flow.

“Some bastards… Us.”

He was so angry that he wanted to tear the intruders to death right away, but he was afraid to go out through the smashed entrance alone.

The Demagogue class, which specializes in crowd control, is not suitable for combat.

If he hadn’t met a group of survivors with whom he was friendly after learning his face at the beginning of the destruction, he would have been killed by a special zombie right away.

Demagogue was a class with low combat ability. Even after raising the level, the increase in stats was low and the skills were far from combat.

‘I wonder if the raiders came with the intention of killing all the people here… I don’t know… Yesterday I heard that one of the officers didn’t come. Shit… If the enemies are good enough to eat four demon possessors… I’ll just cut them.’

Moon Geun-oh decided to go to the panic room inside the building, in the basement of the annex. He planned to stay there and go outside when all the intruders died, and conversely, if the members of the central association were defeated, he would escape through the emergency exit.

“Hey, hey. Wake up. We have to go quickly.”

“Uh… Ugh… Professor..”

“You have to go quickly. Come on, wake up…”

However, since he was weak enough to move alone, he had no way to survive, so he tried to wake up one of his closest aides, Kim Yul, and drag him away.

Even though Kim Yul is not an Awakened person, he is a demon possessor who is most seduced by his own skill in the current situation, so he judged that it would be useful.

Also, most of all, he was afraid of being alone right away, and although his forehead was torn and blood was flowing, Kim Yul seemed to be in better condition than the others, so he decided to take him.

Moon Geun-oh, who raised Kim Yul up, cautiously left the office.

“Whoa.. Whoa.. Kyo, teacher.. Slow down a little..”

“Hey, you have to go quickly. Dude, I don’t even know what came here right now..!”

Saying that, someone waddled in front of them as they headed toward the panic room.

The way he walked was more like a zombie than a man.

Her face was familiar, but I couldn’t remember her name. It looked like the non-awakened person I saw earlier in the auditorium.

“Oh, hey. You, what are you! What’s the matter!”

Without answering Moon Geun-oh’s questions, the man just approached her trembling.

Her limbs trembled violently and yellow foam gushed out of her mouth, and she soon fell to the floor.

“This, this fucking… What the hell…”

Her head can’t keep up with the situation. I would die from a sudden explosion, but a human who should have been in the auditorium crawled all the way here and had a seizure and even collapsed.

Moon Geun-oh just wanted to get out of this confusing situation as quickly as possible.

He tried to avoid the man who had collapsed and had a seizure. Because he didn’t want to get close and get hurt.

At that time, the man who collapsed on the floor and had a seizure did not respond to Moon Geun-oh who was dodging to the side, but when Kim Yul tried to pass by, he grabbed his ankle.

“Ah! Let go! Let go!!!”

Kim Yul kicked the man who was holding onto his ankle tightly and wouldn’t let go. Stepped on his head and kicked his hand. Still, not letting go, Kim Yul exhaled even the feeble demonic energy.

The man then had a more severe seizure and immediately turned over.

“Hey, hey! What is that!!!”

The man’s stomach became convex as he turned over…

Wriggling twitch twitch twitch twitch twitch twitch…

Inside, unknown things wriggled, tearing at the belly skin and starting to crawl out.

“AA AA AA!!!! Teacher, teacher!! Help!! Ah!!”

Moon Geun-oh abandoned Kim Yul, who was engulfed in a swarm of insects and started to be eaten alive.

Kim Yul started turning into a demon from behind, but the insects ate his eyes and tongue faster than he did, and bit his neck like crazy, killing him before he turned into a demon.

“Ahhhhh!!!!”

Moon Geun-oh ran. He panicked and kept running until he felt safe, only to realize that bugs were killing people everywhere.

I also got the idea that somehow he was luring everyone to the auditorium.

Of course, by the time I realized it, it was already too late.

Sasa sasa. Sasasasak. Rustling, rustling. Susssss.S

An auditorium infested with worms.

Inside, an insect the size of a man, incomparably larger than the ones that had just crawled out of the man’s stomach, was clinging to the human body, piercing the stomach skin and giving birth to something inside.

“Ahhh…”

What Moon Geun-oh was waiting for was the jet-black wheel that Jang Jo-joon had summoned.

The owner ordered all non-humans to be killed. He also ordered that people should not be killed and should be kept in captivity.

In response, the jet-black wheel pondered over whether to consider the beings who had become corrupted by drinking holy blood as human beings, and concluded that they were not human beings.

That’s because the fallen people’s souls were already contaminated. It was only that they did not become completely possessed by demons because the final process had not been carried out, but in fact they were disgusting to be sacrificed or enslaved.

In the end, the jet-black wheel found and killed the demon possessor or turned it into a nest for the young, threatening the rest of the survivors, blocking the escape route and enticing them all to come toward the auditorium.

Of course, some of the Awoken escaped through the siege of the roaches, but those are the ones the rest of Jo Joon’s party will capture.

“This is… Crazy…”

Moon Geun-oh, standing in a daze, turned around and tried to run away.

However, dozens of black cockroaches were already clinging to his legs and body, trying to restrain his movements.

Moon Geun-oh screamed and tried to take off the wheels that were clinging to his body. But every time that happened, his flesh was chewed and blood gushed out, and the more he struggled, the rougher the wheels became.

In the end, Moon Geun-oh fell down, screaming in pain, and was swept away by the waves of wheels and dragged into the auditorium.

Most of the non-Awakened people were piled up in one corner of the auditorium.

*****

Meanwhile, Ha Jin-seong, Ha Jin-woo, and Ganghwa-young stood at the entrance of Woori Maum Church.

Kang Eun-jung, Hwang Su-min, Kim Ye-won, and Kang Hee-seon will be guarding the back gate.

It was a temporary team that Jang Jo-jun had divided before he raided this place. He splits the team to seal the entrance and clean up the inside, and puts himself, Han Ah-ram, and Mer Here into one team to deal with the demon possessor.

Only Jang Jo-jun, Mer, and Han A-ram remained in the underground parking lot, and the rest were moving to clear out the remnants of the church or capture slaves.

When asked what he was going to do with the demon possessor’s magi, Jo Joon said that it would be enough if he killed him before he turned into a demon, and ordered that if he showed any signs of transforming into a demon, he would kill him right away.

Thanks to this, blood was blowing inside the church building.

Even the slightest suspicion was cut down, so even non-awakened people who were not possessed by demons were being torn apart by Eunji and Areumi’s attacks, and the earthen pot was broken by Harin’s axe.

At least, Ganghwa-yeong and Kim Ye-won, who specialized in massacring civilians, decided to guard the front and back gates, respectively, so the damage was less.

“Everyone surrender!!!”

“Fuck!!! There!! Hands behind head!!! I want to die!”

Harin and Areum walked around the building and dragged people out. I was going to let them into the auditorium as Jo Jun commanded.

The non-Awakeners who were dragged out were trembling in fear, and the Awakeners were only looking for an opportunity to hit them in the back.

At that moment, while Harin and Areum both turned their heads for a while, another level 15 fighter class tried to attack Areum in the back of the head with a knuckle hidden in her pocket.

Papabak!

In an instant, shadows were embedded in his shoulders, legs, and abdomen.

It was the work of Eun-ji, who had been hiding in the dark and keeping an eye on their actions.

“Keep it..”

The man with the knuckles fell to his knees with blood dripping from his mouth, and those next to him screamed and shook.

“Everybody don’t stay still!!!”

As Han Ah-reum screamed and screamed, people trembled and could not move.

It was because I had already seen dozens of people unknowingly attacking them and then being torn apart.

“Keep it off… Please… Please save me…”

The man who was about to hit Ah-reum begged while bleeding.

However, Seong Ha-rin, with an expressionless face, quietly approached him and said,

“You are a fixed sacrifice. We told you not to rebel.”

Seong Harin cut off the man’s right hand with an axe.

“Kuaaaaa”

Joon Jang said. If it rebels too much, just kill it or put your life on the line as a sacrifice. With a warning not to get hurt or die trying to capture it.

Moreover, there was nothing to hold back from hearing from an executive from the central association who was caught outside that there were only three hidden classes among the Awakened.

“Kuhhhhh!!!”

The man screamed as he grabbed his severed wrist.

If left as it is, he would die of excessive blood loss sooner or later, but if Jo Joon came before that, he could use it as a sacrifice.

‘That’s it. Let’s not think just do as you say According to the master’s orders.’

Harin thought so.

Shortly after her downfall began, she too suffered a lot.

I felt a reluctance to kill, and when I raided the mart in the first week, I had to soothe myself by throwing up several times in the bathroom without Joon’s knowledge.

That’s because killing and taking someone from her was a huge shock to her.

However, that was once or twice, and after repeating it several times, she became very insensitive to killing.

Rather than recognizing that it is a sin that one person should never do, I now see it as a means to live.

Because in a world where someone’s death has become natural, you can’t remain vulnerable forever.

That’s why Seong Ha-rin decided to be ruthless.

She decided to show kindness, consideration, and mercy only to those who came to serve the same master, and to recognize everyone outside the fence as potential enemies and targets to be killed someday.

Thanks to that, she no longer vomits even after killing people or seeing them die.

It melted completely into a ruined world. And it was a change not just for her, but for most of her.

“Stand up. Otherwise, next is the head. Get up and walk!”

“Sigh…”

Seong Harin thought as she looked at the man who stumbled and stood up.

‘Does this man know?’

‘I know that if I don’t die now and follow them, I’ll end up being sacrificed anyway.’

‘I don’t know.’

‘I guess they’re following because there’s even the slightest hope of being able to live.’

‘Foolishly…’

Harin stepped forward again.

She must gather the survivors of the church in the auditorium until Aim returns.

Because that was the order.

*****

Kwak bang!!!!

An SUV parked in the parking lot exploded with a strong impact, and the demon possessor next to it stumbled and fell.

At that moment Mer rushed through the flames and decapitated him with her scythe.

Fuhuaak!!!

Black blood oozes from the severed neck.

Just like that, another demon possessor died. And next to him was Han Ah-ram, who was making a demon possessed chair with minced meat by striking a hammer in succession.

Even though they clearly had a numerical advantage of 3 to 5, the demon possessors died without any help.

I had no choice. Their attacks were all blocked and reflected by Jo Joon’s distorted scales, and the abyss angler rips off her limbs when she leaves a gap.

Moreover, from the tentacles coming in at the right timing, to the two female warriors who would attack the man with a crazy skill if he tried to get even a little closer.

A pink-haired woman who does not take damage from demonic energy, but rather absorbs demonic energy, dug tenaciously to the point of being an obstacle, swung a hammer, handled a scythe freely, and even a physically outstanding foreigner with a height of 190 who would cut her throat at the slightest gap. Added to that, they were helpless.

In the first place, the compatibility did not match. From Han A-ram, who absorbs demonic energy, the biggest weapon of the demon possessor. Even Mer, who just penetrates the devil’s magi and takes his head.

Moreover, what the hell is that crazy man who rips off limbs at every opportunity, grabs his ankles with his tentacles, and blocks and reflects all ranged attacks?

“This, this… This isn’t… This… Ah. What is this…”

Although less than 30 minutes had passed since the battle began.

The four high-ranking demon possessors who had already been dragged up were all dead and covered in blood.

Daniel, who let go of his mind at this.

He had already been torn from his limbs and crawled on the floor, pulled out by tentacles.

If you regenerate, you tear off the regenerating foot, and now there is no magic power left to restore the damaged body.

It’s just that his unusually tough vitality is saving him from death.

“Isn’t it okay?”

“This… Goddamn bastard… You bastard… Will never be safe… All the demons will…”

“Devil? Ahhhhh? Shit. I’m a devil worshiper. I can’t live in this harsh world if I’m afraid of devils.”

“What… What? Evil spirit…? That, there was such a thing…?”

“Yeah. There’s a good god, didn’t you know? By the way, this is my 8th wife, and she’s a former angel. Isn’t it amazing?”

“Mi, are you crazy…? What the hell is that…”

“Fine. Have you ever talked to the devil you worship?”

“Th-they are noble who never answer the questions of a lowly person like me…”

The devil worshiper went on like what the hell kind of nonsense was that?

Not once had the demons answered his questions or questions.

However, the man in front of me spoke as if he was quite friendly with the evil gods he worshiped.

Daniel couldn’t understand. At that time, Jojun Jang looked down at the struggling Daniel and laughed.

“Isn’t it just that you didn’t answer what you said because you were so lacking?”

Daniel was dizzy. Where the hell did this demonic man come from?

“Turn it off… That, it can’t be! No…”

Kwajak!!

Joon smashed Daniel’s head before he could say anything. He didn’t have much information to extract from him. He also could neither enslave nor sacrifice.

This young guy, barely in his early twenties, was the boss of the pants, who had only earned a place in the group by relying on his class.

A man named Moon Geun-oh and an old man named Yang Ji-sang were doing all the actual work.

“After. Let’s go up quickly. I’m worried about the other kids.”

“It is. Hey, Aram? What are you doing?”

“Now, wait.”

As he hurriedly climbed to the ground, A-ram stared into the air for a moment.

At the same time, something was reflected in Jo Joon’s eyes.

[Slave Han Ah-ram’s Achievement Accomplished! ‘Half-man, half-horse’s karma’]
[Select an achievement reward.]

[Demon Slayer has gathered enough magic.]
[Some of the abilities of the ancestors engraved in the class are inherited!]
[There will be fewer runaways with half-horse blood!]
[Also removes all types of restraints and restrictions currently placed on the Demon Hunter.]

[Warning!!! Player Han Ah-ram’s slavery label will be erased!!!]

“Oh… Fuck…”

Joon immediately distanced himself from Han Ah-ram.
She didn’t know that in her heart she might still have resentment for killing Han Tae-yang.

At the same time, Han Ah-ram threw away her hammer.
She had to fight him, for she had no benefit to herself.

She had already done her calculations in that short amount of time.
If you continue to oppose or fight Jang Jo-jun, you will be defeated. There is no way to win.

Not to mention the strength of his skills, and he didn’t even have the confidence to block Mer Here’s red scythe. She knew that she herself was only strong because of her demons. She was not conceited She was, therefore, aware of the situation accurately.

Here, at the moment of confrontation with a man named Jang Jo-joon, he may be killed and offered to unknown beings, or he may be subdued once again and branded as a slave, and then treated worse than livestock as a person who betrayed him once.

In that case, she decided, it would be better to surrender first and come under his protection once again.

It is true that Jang Jo-joon is the person who killed Han A-ram’s younger brother, Han Tae-yang. However, it was Han Taeyang and themselves who attacked first.

Moreover, if you ask him if he was close to Han Tae-yang before his destruction.. In fact, he wasn’t even very close.

Because Han Tae-yang was a guy who always went out, and his personality didn’t quite match his own.

Rather, we fought when we fought, but our friendship was not strong. Rather, she was very close to her beauty. It’s the same now.

It’s just that with Han Tae-yang, the only thing he can trust in a world that has been destroyed is his family, so he’s a little closer than before.

I’m more worried about Areum.

If she attacks him with a vengeance for not being herself… Ah-reum will really be alone.

“I will give in. I have no intention of fighting.”

Han Ah-ram knelt down on her knees, even writing her honorifics.

There was no pride or anything.

Jo Jun did not treat Han Ah-ram badly. I don’t know if it’s because he once had a crush on me, but he’s a man who treats other women equally.

Even though he killed his own flesh and blood, he was more than that a man who protected himself and Areumie.

As Aram bowed his head and expressed his willingness to obey, a phrase he had seen before appeared in front of Jo Joon’s eyes.

[The opponent has succumbed to you.]

A-ram Han inherited some of the power of an unknown existence, and at that moment, Jo Joon was quite worried because the slave brand was erased. Now to the idea that he might not be able to stigmatize.

Fortunately for him, however, he did not lose the label of slavery. It was just that all of the curses, restraints, and domination-related skills that had been put on them had been lifted.

“Ha…”

Joey broke out in a cold sweat and let out a sigh.

Then he grabbed her chin to expose her forehead, and then he branded her once more on her.

“Thank you. And well done. It was a good choice. I will do well in the future.”

“Oh, thank you…”

“Okay. I just want to hear from you.”

“Yes..”

Joon placed his lips on Han Ah-ram’s forehead.

And he hugged her for a while.

He was afraid that things might go wrong.

Her head raced at the terrifying sense that she might have to dispose of her woman, with whom she had already slept several times, with her own hands.

Aim picked her up, lifted her up, and brushed off her dust from her body.

Even then, she reached out her hand to Han Ah-ram, who was trembling slightly as if her tension had not yet relaxed.

“Let’s go out. I will wait for the others.”

Han Ah-ram quickly grabbed his hand.

To survive. For my brother.

And furthermore, for your own happiness.
