Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 22 Ability Test (5)

1st place.

Hyunmoo didn’t feel anything special because he thought it was a natural result.

The opponent had no choice but to speed up because it was a scarecrow that had been dealing with until recently, and it was a version that had deteriorated for a long time.

‘No, should I say that it is spherical rather than deteriorated?’

If it was something like a slime or a goblin he was facing for the first time, it might have been slower. Hyunmoo casts dismantling against his scarecrow chest.

His white skin peeled off, revealing his inner skeleton. He had already pulled out a metal plaque, but Hyunmoo’s business was elsewhere. Hyunmoo skinned his scarecrow and lifted it up.

[Spore Devourer’s Flesh (Normal)]

‘It is also possible to possess as an item.’

It’s a terrible name, but Hyunmoo really liked the subject. He thought that the strangely strong defense against the Scarecrow in Hell was simply due to special handling like a sandbag.

However, seeing this, I could see that this leather had a special power. Hyunmoo tried to attach the peeled leather to his arm and shin.

The flesh of the spore eroder seemed to have good restorative power, and when the ends of the cross-sections were connected, it naturally wrapped around the body.

‘By the way, it’s controlling my body, isn’t it?’

Hyunmoo has a futile delusion, casting his crafting skills instead of kicking the toss as it is. The toshi was torn cleanly, then meticulously woven again, this time to create something quite plausible.

[Spore Devourer’s Gaiters (Normal)][Spore Devourer Toshi (Normal)]

“…it would be worthwhile.”

Hyunmoo has already seen other novice test takers attack the Scarecrow with their skills, but with little success. It was because of the strong mana repulsion. Hyunmoo saw the look and thought he might be useful as a piece of armor. No matter how hard Hyunmoo trained, it wasn’t that he was okay with his skills.

He was best not fit, but if he did, it had to be good enough to preserve his combat abilities. So, the flesh of the Spore Eater felt quite useful to Hyunmoo.

“Okay. The preparations are over.”

Hyunmoo turned his head towards the inside of the dungeon.

“Shall we start hunting?”

***

The red butterfly looked up at the ceiling with an anxious expression.

Two hours into the game. The red scoreboard engraved on the ceiling was large and clear enough to be seen anywhere in the dungeon. They were stabbed in pain as if they were whipping the test takers. Some people saw the score and gave up early.

“1st. Kang Hyunmoo. 67.”

Is there a number that is possible with that? Red Butterfly, who placed 2nd place, only surpassed 51 after desperate efforts.Originally, there was no such signboard at first. However, as Kang Hyunmoo started to widen the score, the organizers raised the score as if to watch and learn. Of course, Red Butterfly, who was aiming for first place, had no choice but to be embarrassed.

The students who were biting her lips appeared before the butterfly’s eyes. about eleven. The test takers were getting bigger and bigger to keep Nabi and Kang Hyunmoo in check.

As if she had already been prepared, her candidates were not surprised when they saw the enemy butterfly. She quickly took a position and then cast her skill.

In an instant, an intense light fell on the red butterfly. She was hot and intensely light enough to blind her for a short time, but already the enemy butterfly wasn’t there.

“stomach!”

Amid the desperate cry of the test takers, the enemy butterfly sprinted through her wall. Her red trails stretched long behind the back of her two hands that smashed her barrier like tofu.

Flame arrows and a curse of paralysis engulfed her legs covered her body, but the butterfly leapt into the midst of them without hesitation.

In the middle of her trajectory as her red arrows dart down, a man who seemed to be her tank intercepted her.

bang! A loud noise rang out. The intangible shield created by her tank was broken by the red hand of the enemy butterfly.

But she also found the enemy butterflies isolated in their midst. The test takers were ready to pour out their skills in an instant.

“sister!”

At the same time as the shouting, another test taker bumped into the party line. The tall woman, who reached 190 cm tall, blew away two test takers in an instant. The ranks collapsed in an instant and became a chaos. Soon two more appeared before them.

It was a man with glasses and a girl who looked like a middle school student. Candidates were discouraged by the red bow badges on the collars of newcomers.

“Red Butterfly Joe…”

It is questionable whether even a single enemy butterfly can be defeated, but if all of her had gathered, not to mention she. While the man wearing glasses picked up the metal plaques that her students had put down, the enemy butterfly tried to get ahead again alone. Her big woman blocked her like that.

“Unnie. You’re in too much of a hurry. What should I do if I get hurt?”

“…not enough points.”

“No, our purpose is to enter Taeseong and join the North Expedition plan anyway. It’s not like we’re only getting the first place to join. Besides, we’ve already collected a lot of metal tiles? ! How many of them do you have?”

“16 outlines.”

“Then, my sister’s and ours are 88 in total. Oh my, you’re already number one?

“It’s all put together.”

“That’s because I decided to drive it all over to my sister. Maybe that guy Kang Hyunmoo would too? He might be a guy with a huge gang and he’s sponsored.

The red butterfly did not answer. She just stared at the large woman in silence.

“Ah, sister. Don’t do that.”

“Follow me slowly. Together with Haru unnie and Janmang.”

The enemy butterfly leapt over her barrier, leaving her party behind. Her two hands dig into the wall, slamming upwards in an instant. She was a place that Hongryeon could not keep up with. She heard the call of her enemy butterfly again on her back and behind her, but she ignored it and ran quickly towards her.

“The level of test takers is higher than expected.”

Taeminsoo muttered like a moan. Since this test was conducted in a slightly special way, it was expected that high-level test takers would come as well. However, such a change was not expected.

It was the same with Lee Ji-tae. He looked at the screen with an interesting expression and said to Taeminsu.

“Kang Hyunmoo, who the hell is that friend?”

Taemin-soo made a troubled expression. He, too, was unaware. If he doesn’t even know him, who is well-versed in domestic talented people, it will be the same for other people. Headhunters in the audience were also busy recognizing his name here and there.

“I know that he is the first friend to be judged as capable this time. I heard that the ability and skill judgments were put on hold…”

“Oh, he has that poison-blooded skill?”

Lee Ji-tae smirked. Lee Ji-tae’s attention was now focused on this comet-like newcomer.

It is better to deal with the scarecrow with strong mana repulsion with physical force rather than skill. However, the defense itself was not weak, and Kang Hyunmoo was easily knocking down and dismantling it. Moreover, it is even used as a substitute for armor by disassembling it casually.

“Are you like a dungeon experienced?”

“Otherwise, that ability can’t be explained. But, I haven’t been judged as a capable person, so how could I… be a rogue?”

He called those who entered the dungeon without permission as rogues. It was a subject that people were reluctant to because it usually referred to criminals who lived in hiding in dungeons or those who had their licenses revoked due to an accident.

“It could be. Or it came from a foreign country where regulations are not strict.”

Lee Ji-tae leaned over, watching Kang Hyunmoo with interest. It was his request to display the score by floating an electric billboard on the ceiling. He hoped to be a stimulant to the enemy butterfly.

As expected, Naked Butterfly looked impatient and moved in a hurry. He was obviously looking for Kang Hyunmoo.

He agrees that he feels like a child who puts up a fight, but Lee Ji-tae was curious.

And as a body that once ran on a rapid growth path, he knew how desperate it was to compete with a strong rival.

These two must meet.

‘ Kang Hyunmoo, you must be thinking about fighting the red butterfly right now, right?’

***

‘By the way, what does the flesh of this spore eater taste like? Does it taste like mushrooms?’

Hyunmoo took a piece of the spore-eater’s torso and put it in my mouth. It may be a poisonous mushroom, but Hyunmoo, who has already developed a strong resistance to poison in his body, was not worried at all.

It just tastes bland, but the texture is just so-so. But if I was really hungry in hell, I thought I could eat it.

‘If you’re hungry.’

Hyunmoo spit out the spore-eater’s flesh and lifted his head. He felt a presence approaching from afar. The opponent was running fast over the barrier, not caring whether anyone saw it or not.

almost at close range.

Hyunmoo quickly bounced his body aside. Instantly, a red trajectory like an arrow hit the spot. A woman with red hair was seen looking at Hyunmoo with a surprised expression. Hyunmoo intuitively noticed that Naebi was in second place.“I thought it was his real name, but I thought it was strange.”

Hyunmoo found out the reason for the nickname and smiled. The enemy butterfly stared at Hyunmoo and opened her mouth.

“Are you alone?”

“My 150 men are ambushing around here. Why?”

“You’re saying you’re alone.”

The enemy butterfly lowered her body and took her pose. She had a strong passion for victory in her eyes.

[The effect of the title ‘Hell’s Strongest’ will increase the stat compared to the level.][Human (LV 14)]

‘Hey, look at this.’

Hyunmoo immediately went on alert. An opponent with twice the level.

His survival instinct, trained in hell, lightly ignored the appearance of others. The enemy butterfly saw Hyunmoo whose demeanor had changed, and her heart began to race.

“I’d like one, please.”

After the enemy butterfly whispered so, she ran straight ahead. Her flying hand, drawing her red trajectory, quickly dug into Hyunmoo’s torso. Hyunmoo raised his arm and looked down, quickly changing his mind and bouncing it to his side.

The fingertips of an enemy butterfly that had rubbed her like a scratch broke the toshi she was wearing on her arm in an instant. If I had blocked it, I would have cut a hole in my arm.

“under.”

Did you mean to put something like this on the boat? Hyunmoo laughed out loud.

But the enemy butterfly did not change her expression. Of course, she seemed to know she knew how to stop it.

They both felt it. In this test, regardless of the time, the winner of the two wins.

***

“Huh, what the…”

The moment Naebi and Kang Hyunmoo collided, everyone in the audience focused their eyes on it. All the screens were illuminating only the two of them as if they were not interested in the 160 test takers who were still in the arena.

“Are you fucking crazy bitches?”

“You still don’t know where you’re from?”

The headhunters conversed as if they were absurd. Already, the fight between Naebi and Kang Hyunmoo was not a test taker, but a semi-professional, or an active hunter.

Naked Butterfly, I really came from running the dungeon, so no one knew where Kang Hyunmoo was from.

They had only one thought.

“Where the hell did such a monster come from?”
