Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 228 Trial of the Stars (5)

"Quiet."

Kawaro muttered as he looked at the silent cistern.

Curie made the flames from her body more fierce.

As the darkness gradually lifted, the shadow of the cistern grew stronger.

It wasn't dark.

In fact, even if you get a little stronger, darkness is not a problem.

The improved eyesight was enough to distinguish objects in the dark darkness even with little light.

Of course, those with stealth abilities also become more secretive.

Curie had to turn on the light to find the dark spider web that Hyunmoo had drawn.

Invisible in the dark, the shadow web trap was not a problem for the apostles, but family members were often injured.

When the light was turned on, hidden spider webs were found everywhere.

All were in critical positions.

"Take it all off."

The iron-bloods came forward and set fire to the spider's web or cut it with a weapon.

Shadow cobwebs are particularly vulnerable to fire and break easily.

"It's a disappointment to have this kind of resistance after allied effort."

“No, you should be more vigilant.”

Curie gave a tip to Kawaro's relaxed tone.

"He bit the monsters right away as soon as we united. They know that it doesn't make any sense any more. It means they've been luring us, arguing, and trying to drain our power."

"Yeah. What else can he do to resist?"

Kawaro knew it too.

But he didn't care.

It's not just that he's arrogant. Although his power is overwhelming, acting prudently would increase damage unnecessarily.

So, he chose a speed battle with Eatwalo at the fore.

Kawaro continued his speech.

"I mean, it's weird that he doesn't use any special moves when he has nowhere to run anymore. What is he trying to do? Is he even trying to hit Bae Soo-jin?"

"I must show you that there are things in the world that no matter how hard you try."

Kawaro passed through the first reservoir and opened the door to the second reservoir.

The moment the rusty iron door creaked open, Kawaro showed his strong vigilance and stopped Curie.

"It smells like blood."

"blood?"

The smell of blood wafted all over the place anyway.

Now, there was nothing to say about the smell of blood.

However, seeing Kawaro's expression, Curie immediately grabbed the weapon.

All members of the starving star's family have a keen sense of smell. Needless to say, it's about Kawaro.

"What blood?"

"...the smell of Ytwolo's blood. I think I'm dead here."

It was appropriate to say that it was covered in blood rather than a little spilled.

The other blood smells were also strong, but Kawaro could tell them apart.

Curie took a deep breath and shouted loudly toward the inside of the second reservoir."Come out!!"

A roaring sound shook the inside of the second reservoir.

In the aftermath of the loud shouting, the ghouls immediately behind them fell to the point of bleeding from the Chilgong.

But there was no answer or movement. Curie grabbed a small javelin and lit it.

A burning javelin pierced the ceiling, illuminating the interior. And they could see the naked sea of ​​blood in the middle of the cistern.

This time, Curie confirmed that there was nothing, and entered slowly.

In the center, what could be called the remnants of Itwalo were scattered everywhere. There was only blood on the floor.

"It looks like he was slaughtered after being slaughtered. It was applied very neatly, leaving only blood."

“……”

Kawaro didn't say anything.

He had no affection for this twalo, nothing more than a comradeship. He was just an annoying guy.

However, the fact that the apostle who worshiped the same star had turned into such a miserable state shook him.

It was like a jumbled mix of anger, disgust, and fear when seeing a human being eaten by swarms of ants.

Most of them were disgust.

"Curier, we must first make a decision between us after catching him..."

"Yeah. Even if I take it, I'll lend it to you for a while."

Curie answered Kawaro's heart first.

Kawaro took a deep breath, leaving the remains of Itwalo behind. Even in the thick scent of blood, there was a smell of shards of stars that could not be missed.

Kawaro opened his mouth, glaring in the direction of the 3rd Reservoir.

"It's inside me."

Even Curie could feel the shards of stars.

Apostles are instinctively drawn to each other. It was like a mysterious attraction that gathered fragments and encouraged them to complete.

The aura from above was obviously Ivanov's.

But the other fragments were felt very close.

"It's right behind the door."

Kawaro stood in front of the door and answered.

The one with the star shard is right behind the door. As Kawaro opened the door, he suddenly felt something strange.

'The smell of blood is too strong.'

There was no fight yet, but the smell of blood was too strong.

'Did something happen to me?'

There was a possibility.

The cursed ones in the form of Kang Hyunmoo were clearly cursed by the broken star, the 'divergence' that Gaul used to fall.

I don't know why the Broken Star intervened here, but Hyunmoo seemed to have somehow persuaded them into battle.

But now he is in danger of dying.

If so, there was a good chance that the damned turned their swords back to Hyunmoo.

The apostles have no qualms about killing the damned, but Hyunmoo must be captured rather than killed. Because that was for sure.

"Open."

As Kawaro hesitated, Curie took the lead and touched the door of the 3rd Reservoir.

Kawaro paused after trying to tell him to wait. If it's internal, it's perfect, but even if it's a trap, there's no reason to stop it.

Kawaro watched from a distance as Curie opened the door.

Curie clenched the spear and gave strength to his hand, ready to poke as soon as the door opened.

But the door was stiff as if it had been locked.

"Are you locked?"

"Looks like that. But I have the key."

Curie snorted her at the seemingly ridiculous resistance, then grabbed her door and leaned it aside in one breath. The thick iron door was torn like a piece of paper in an instant.

And at that moment, with a crackling sound, lukewarm liquid soaked her body.

"what is this?"

"blood?"

The lukewarm smell of rotting blood pierced Kawaro's nose.

It was a stench enough to paralyze his sensitive sense of smell in an instant. Curie found a seal on the back of the door.

He had even welded it to the floor to prevent blood from leaking out.

Around Curie, blood was boiling with her temperature.

The blood came out of the 3rd Reservoir and even wet the monsters in the 2nd Reservoir.

iron buck.

At the sound of her footsteps, Curie immediately threw down her spear. But at that moment, when she saw her face reflected in the flames at the end of the window, she took a narrow orbit.

The opponent who almost pierced his throat at once.

It was Alhugin, the apostle who disappeared just before the war.

***

"Is that Alhugin?"

Kawaro asked with a suspicious look.

Alhugin stumbled and fell before Curie's nose.

Curie was puzzled as to why Alhugin was here, but first checked his condition.

He barely had his life on his side, and his whole body was already in a mess.

It wouldn't be strange if he died right away.

"Yes. The apostle Alhugin."

Curie emphasized that Kawaro was an apostle, so as not to think in vain.

“Alhugin, Alhugin… I think I’ve heard of the name. I heard that there are not many conspiratorial types in conquering stars, but how did this happen?”

"...He's a kid who only knows how to roll his hair. He's the weakest among us, and it's been decades since the conquering star gave him a mission, so he was so focused on his major. Maybe he was overworked."

The Apostles of the conquering star engage in civil wars whenever they have spare time, but it's kind of like a hobby.

When the stars give their missions, they do not hesitate to form a line against foreign enemies.

Moreover, the friendship between the apostles of the conquering stars was quite strong.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Are you going to stay here? It's very uncomfortable here. It's obvious that it's a trap set by Kang Hyunmoo, but it's like staying here."

Kawaro dipped the blood on the floor, tasted it, and immediately spit it out.

It was poisonous blood. Some monsters have a skill called poison blood that fills their own blood with poison.

However, this blood was particularly terrifying, and it contained plenty of mana.

It was the first time Kawaro had ever seen blood full of mana like this, even though it had leaked out of his body.

"Go first. I'm going to check this guy's condition for a moment."

Kawaro made a puzzled expression.

"Are you crazy? Are you going to forsake the star's mission and save all the dying garbage?"

A fire erupted from Curie's eyes.

"Trash? There's no way you guys don't know what camaraderie or camaraderie is. Alhugin is the youngest of us. He's not going to die like a dog."

"This is in the trap that Kang Hyunmoo set! Staying in this blood is no good!"

Even the monsters belonging to the starving star were already soaked in blood and slowly weakening. The weak ones were trembling.

The iron-bloods still maintained a strong rank, but the flames had been put to death so that the blood would not boil. That meant I couldn't get my powers out.Curie had a tired expression on her face.

"What's the matter? You're giving up so that you can catch Kang Hyunmoo. If you see anything to eat, don't you take the lead like a search-and-duck duck?"

“No, what kind of dog…”

Kawaro glared at Alhugin.

That child itself is a trap.

It was clear that he was Kang Hyunmoo's mastermind in trying to separate Curie from himself.

It would be the correct answer to stick with Curie here, but his nature didn't want to do that at all.

"Aha, if I catch Hyunmoo, then I think he's going to attack with his teammate. Do you think you'll put it that way?"

Kawaro took one step closer to Alhugin.

At that moment, Curie grabbed the spear, and the iron-bloods also aimed their arms at the starving monsters.

It was an instantaneous situation.

“Kawaro, don’t be rude. Alhugin is at a crossroads between life and death. He can die just by falling down the wrong way.”

"What is that?"

“How many of us are left who remember the ‘old days’?

"You sound romantic."

"Even if they belonged to other stars, I felt as if precious historical books were being torn apart each time they disappeared one by one. A history that no one remembers when it is torn."

"It seems that we've been fighting for so long that we all forgot, Curie. Our purpose is to tear up all the history books and leave only one book left! You and I will eventually be merged into a single fragment!"

"Why?"

"What, why? That's our purpose..."

"Can't we just live like this? There is no need for any more of us to die. Why do we have to watch the ending with a confirmed bad ending?"

Kawaro was speechless.

What Curie was saying was not only rebellious, but also rebellious.

But Curie calmly continued his words.

"We have a 'promise'. As long as the apocalypse has stopped, there is a way to live without an ending for the rest of our lives. We've been living like that for decades."

Kawaro's face was terribly contorted and then he kicked her tongue out again as if absurdly, dozens of expressions flashed through his face in an instant.

I didn't know that Curie was thinking like this without anyone else.

Grinding his teeth, he looked at Curie and let out a long sigh.

"Yeah, it's a conquering star. I forgot about it for a while."

"Kawaro."

"The conquering stars only want endless wars. You don't think it's much different now or after everything is over."

"That's not it."

"But not me. I will see the end. In my cozy and rich harem."

Kawaro turned his back on Curie.

"The union ends here. Take Alhugin and get out. If we meet again, I will kill you."

"……okay."

It was fortunate for Dani Kawaro, who had given up his mission after Curie took care of it.

But he didn't know why he was feeling so dirty.

Kawaro decided to turn this rising anger towards a suitable opponent, Kang Hyunmoo.

Then, something no one expected happened.

Curie was concentrating on Kawaro, and Kawaro was concentrating on the inside of the 3rd Reservoir.

No one cared about Alhugin.

Al Hugin took his dagger out of his shattered hand and out of sight, and at once thrust it into Kawaro's side.
