Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 223 When the stars cast their shadows (9)

The cursed fell into silence.

Some of them dipped blood and lightly put it to their mouth. Having tasted the blood, they frowned.

"You're poisonous."

It meant that what Hyunmoo said was true. Because I can't make this much blood alone.

Then one of the cursed ones from the back opened his mouth.

"There are conditions."

"Condition?"

"You guys can rest comfortably here, but we shouldn't get tired. It's not okay if we're full. You guys should go out and fight."

It could be because his stomach was really full, but he had other intentions hidden behind the scenes.

If there's no home advantage, it's probably going to hit the back of the head.

"great."

But Hyunmoo simply agreed.

He wasn't the first he'd heard of it anyway. The 7th group, who had previously approved, made the same proposal.

'Me too, but I'm not really original. What if I'm dragged like this?'

"Anyway, I'm going to go and fight, just make one more group. Because I can't draw any more blood."

“Then I agree.”

The person who asked the question was the first to vote in favor.

Once those in favor came out, the cursed ones also turned to an atmosphere of support, feeling a bit out of breath.

It wasn't because they were intimidated, it was because they thought that there was a high probability that they would fight each other as long as someone in favor came out.

But Hyunmoo stared at the one who threw the first affirmative.

He was also the first to notice Hyunmoo's trap while standing in the back and watching.

'There's a guy who stands out again this time.'

They produced 16 groups or the Cursed, but not all showed the same reaction.

Just as there were those who favored it and some who ignored it and rushed to it, there was a slight difference between the cursed ones.

Among them, there were some particularly outstanding ones. The ability and personality are the same, but the judgment is exceptional.

And the whole group would follow the opinion of such an outstanding guy without knowing it. Hyunmoo wondered if they were from another branch of his.

'Like five stars interested in me.'

The damned, strongly influenced by some stars, die prematurely, and some survive.

Hyunmoo named the leader of the group that survived this time No.8.

"Okay. Then I'll hand you one weapon at a time, so take it."

Hyunmoo showed the weapons he had prepared in advance in the blind spot. He told him to take it as much as he liked, but it was a rare weapon that was far inferior to Tom. A few potions were also included.

Once they raised their weapons, there were some who had their eyes glowing again, but most of them looked disappointed.

"Are you going to fight Sado over something like this?"

"Aren't you supposed to give at least a legendary level?"

But Hyunmoo's reaction was cold.

“Then go bare-handed.”

These guys are the ones who want to hit the back of the head at any time even though they vote for it.

"Catch them, raise their level, and acquire equipment. Until then, I won't say anything. Monsters are busy right now, and if a few of you join forces, even if you're not even an Apostle-class, any guy will be your opponent."

Even if the armed forces are lacking, if all the damned fight against the apostles, it may become a battle.

But that would never have happened in my dreams.

The Cursed went out with their weapons on their faces with terrifying faces. And as soon as they went outside, they quickly scattered throughout the dungeon and disappeared.

When most of the damned dispersed, the last one remained and looked at Hyunmoo.It was the guy I named number 8.

Although he had no outward appearance, he remembered his weapon as a black dagger.

"I have a question."

"What?"

"How did you beat us? It wouldn't be easy."

Hyunmoo grinned at the question.

"That's a stupid question."

Hyunmoo flipped over the answer. However, he looked at Hyunmoo as if satisfied with it, and then slowly disappeared.

Hyunmoo felt annoyed. He'd likely asked a question even though he already knew it.

He doesn't have to appeal to his presence like that, maybe he's influenced by the Whispering Star.

'It's like a custom. How did you break it?'

The answer Hyunmoo omitted was obvious.

'Is that important? Anyway, the one who survived would be the real one.'

Anyway, Hyunmoo was there.

Whether the Cursed replaced Hyunmoo, or Hyunmoo really killed them all, eventually came to the conclusion that the 'real' had to increase the Cursed by sprinkling blood.

So he agreed.

If you have to spray blood anyway, it's better to take the 'real thing' after the situation is over.

He would have thought and agreed with the other No. 1 to No. 7 as well.

Rather than occupying the real thing now and becoming a target, you can eat the last hit after everything is over.

"Let's go where we're going, stars."

Hyunmoo poured his last 17th bowl of blood on the floor.

***

The clean sewer wall cracked with a thud. With each repeated thud, the crack grew bigger and bigger.

Eventually, when the radius of the crack became the size of a human head, a sobbing figure escaped through the hole.

It was obviously a creature with flesh, but at the same time it was a creature with a bizarre texture that looked like liquid.

It pulled out a long body like a snake and slowly came out through the hole.

His white skin was full of bloody wounds and burnt scars.

"Damn Charcoal Warners."

It was Ytwolo, a member of the starving star.

As itwalo could fit anywhere with a gap the size of a small girl's head, he was able to escape from the fight with Lampel.

Itwallow saw a wound that did not heal easily and grinded his teeth. It was a wound from the battle with Lampel.

It was a battle between apostles and apostles, but basically, the members of the subjugating stars are good at battle and strategy. In addition, Lampel had 50 elite iron-bloods belonging to the Centurion.

It wasn't a fight Ytwalo could win.

He succeeded in killing four or five iron-bloods, but he was also wounded a lot.

'Besides, what the hell did the weeping star do... … ?'

Ytwalo still believed that the undead colony in the subway station was a prank played by the Weeping Star.

However, there was no sign of any recovery from the wound he had been using for what kind of prank he was doing.

No, it was getting worse.

It was a poison that exceeded the resilience of the apostle, and if true, it was serious.

Among the stars was a star with such poison.

The Starving Star was one of them. The Wailing Star has poison, but I didn't know it had such a strong poison.

'If it's nothing else and poetry reading (屍毒), there's no way it will work for me?'

Families who can't stand their hunger often eat corpses due to their nature. The types of poems collected through them were considerable.

It's unknown now, but if you go to the vast treasury of the Starving Stars, there's sure to be an antidote.

Ytwolo decided to report the poison and seek healing.

"By the way... where are you?"

As he burrowed into the ground, he saw an army of the dead pressing down from top to bottom.

Seeing that there were no traces of the undead here, it seemed that they had descended quite deep.

However, the regular vibrations of the wall signaled that this place would soon be occupied as well.

The more you fight with the Weeping Star, the more damage you lose. Because the dead become the enemy's army.

The conquering star may be zealous, but she, the starving star, was different.

She prefers to hurry up and grab what she has.

'I have to go see Kawaro-sama.'

Itwalo crawled slowly, clinging to the ceiling so as not to be easily detected.

It was difficult to recognize her thin and elongated figure in the dark. But after a while she had to stop.

A look of embarrassment flashed in Ytwallow's eyes.

'What is that?'

In the corner, a man stood in an ambush waiting for someone. It matched the 'target' I heard from Kawaro.

Kang Hyunmoo, the only human who has not yet chosen any stars.

Unable to Survive Without Belonging to Someone's Family Difficulty: Being still alive in Hell meant that he had considerable resourcefulness and resistance to poison.

'Skills, what? They do it well, but in the end, there are limits to humans alone.'

I don't know how he survived with the blessings of the stars, but in the end he is supposed to fall into someone's hands.

And it was now exposed defenselessly under Itwallow's head. With an unnaturally defenseless appearance, Eatwalo fell into trouble trying to get back to him.

'… … Is it a trap?'

Ytwolo watched Hyunmoo for a while. Then some ghouls ran from the end of the sewer.

Hyunmoo was waiting at the back of the corner, and he quickly attacked the ghoul with the long sword he was holding in his hand.

Watching Hyunmoo killing the ghouls, Eatwalo felt a sense of disappointment.

'You were just hiding to hunt those little dwarfs?'

Of course, since the entire hideout was occupied by monsters, it is natural to block external enemies.

However, if the lord had to fight in the castle himself, wouldn't it be over anyway?

From the point of view of a body covered in scars from wandering in search of Hyunmoo, it was only disappointing from the point of view of Eatwalo.

'I can't see any more.'

Itwallow jumped off the ceiling and wrapped around Hyunmoo.

Hyunmoo turned around in surprise. But it's already too late. There was no time for Hyunmoo to swing his sword.

With a gentle force, Ytwolo broke some of Hyunmoo's bones.

Hyunmoo vomited blood with a crackling sound.

"I can lead you like this."

If you kill him, he will respawn at the crossroads. That amount of information was already known.

The crossroads were almost occupied by the forces of the dead now, so in order not to become a sacrifice to the Wailing Star, they had to find a way to escape without killing them.

"I have to go to Kawaro-sama..."

That was the moment. He felt a sharp pain in his lower back. The moment he turned his head, the Twilo doubted his own eyes.

There was one more Kang Hyunmoo.

"Snake cub... no, it's Sado!"

Whoops, whoops! At the same time, Hyunmoos, who looked the same from where they appeared, appeared and pierced Ytwolo's body.

Although there is a difference in price from Hyunmoo, Eatwalo was exhausted and injured. Besides, her multiple targets were making her bewildered.

“What is this… such a dwarf thing!”Itwallow immediately determined that these Hyunmoos were fake. She killed Hyunmoo, who was holding her inside, by breaking the bones of her body in one breath.

At that moment, the blood that she had spurted out was seeping all over her body. The appearance confirmed Ytwallow's suspicions.

it's fake

"Do you think you'll be playing with me with such childish pranks?"

This twalo attacked the Hyunmoos with a fierce swing of her arm.

However, Hyunmoos avoided it lightly, and at the same time, sequentially stabbed Ytwalo's body with weapons.

The physical strength strengthened by Yayul the Redeemer was inflicting effective wounds on Itwalo's body, even if it was a rare weapon.

Itwalo realized that one by one was never easy.

He wasn't the kind of thing that would be hit by a random attack, like sweeping away jap mobs.

'What is this!'

No hallucinations, no alter ego. If it is an alter ego, the control must be insufficient or weak, but these guys are top-notch.

"Apostle!"

"Kill it!"

The problem was that those guys didn't stop there, they just kept popping out.

Like hunters who set traps and hunt.

The moment he thought of that, Itwalo was ecstatic. These guys know they're being targeted.

So they were using each other as traps and using them as traps. A strategy that cannot be devised by a simple alter ego.

'Is this all real?'

As Hyunmoo's number reached double digits, Ytwalo felt he couldn't handle it any longer. At the same time she felt that her body was strangely heavy.

'poison?'

The Twilo realized that Hyunmoo's blood, which had spurted from within her own body, was seeping through her wounds.

All the Hyunmoos there also had red blood on their weapons.

Itwallow recalled that a guy named Kang Hyunmoo had 'poison blood'.

"This crazy bastard!"

Itwalo screamed and struggled as if he couldn't stand it.

"What the hell are you doing!"

***

Somewhere in the underground sewer.

Hyunmoo raised the corners of his mouth when he heard a shout from somewhere in the distance along the sewer.

"You're having a hard time."

[Level Up!]

Hyunmoo stretched out his body at the sound of another notification.

The Broken Star, Gaul, gave him an ordeal. However, the ordeal was not just blindly against Hyunmoo.

opposite pay.

Whenever the damned die, they return to a handful of blood. But it didn't just disappear.

From the beginning, they are just branches that extend from a central stem called Kang Hyunmoo.

Branches absorb nutrients from the main stream until they break and die.

But is that all?

Branches also have their own functions. It opens leaves, grows in direct sunlight and rain, and drops leaves when the time is right.

Roots feed on the leaves and grow again.

So were the cursed ones. In the end, they are supposed to return to the main stream.

The cursed ones will also return the experience points they have accumulated to Hyunmoo.

That's when they die.
