Absolute Person in Every Corner - Absolute Person in Every Corner chapter 47

[Episode 11] Jagalchi Market (2)

There was no fish market on the road from Jagalchi Station to the main house.

From crawling fish to flying fish. And various types of monsters such as snow crabs and crayfish were roaming around.

Befitting the reputation of Jagalchi Market, all the seafood was gathered together.

Among them, crustaceans were particularly troublesome.

“This time it’s crayfish!”

“Get out of the way!”

Like the snow crabs they hunted before, crayfish armed with hard chitinous armor appeared, but they were already familiar with the strategy.

aaang!

The barbell that landed on the crayfish’s carapace like a shell took its life.

[You hunted the Giant Lobster (Lv. 30).]

[Acquire experience points.]

[106,886,599 won has been deposited into the wallet of the absolute.]

Unfortunately, it was something I had hunted, so the settlement was tight, but right now the priority was to clear the road rather than money.

“I’m sorry, Minho.”

The barbell that was used several times was broken a lot.

‘I’ll register the item and buy a new one.’

Overall, this was a much more dangerous environment than the neighborhood around our apartment.

The average level of the monsters was high, and the number was high, so it was quite difficult even with the skills of the party.

‘If I hadn’t raised the warehouse level, it would have been dangerous!’

Da-jung Kim must have been injured in the first battle right away.

If that were the case, Oh Eon-joo and Ha Dong-gun’s power would have been greatly weakened, and they wouldn’t have been able to defeat the monsters as reliably as they do now.

In addition, the function of blessing was not simply about increasing physical ability.

ugh

late evening.

In a dark environment where no more streetlights could be expected, Kim Da-jung’s ability was becoming a beacon that brightened the surroundings.

Just like at the subway station, the light emitted when receiving a blessing is playing its role.

As human beings are animals that rely heavily on their eyesight, having a light that illuminates the dark night was a great advantage in battle.

“Dong-geon-ah, behind you!”

He summoned a warhead at a marlin that was aiming for Ha Dong-gun.

[You hunted the Sky Marlin (Lv. 17).]

[Acquire experience points.]

[1,326,284 won has been deposited into the wallet of the Absolute in every corner.]

As such, assistance through the warehouse function was top-notch.

But as I focused on the battle, my expression was only serious.

‘There are too many monsters.’

Situations that would have been dangerous had it not been for my assistance were being staged several times.

So, in fact, it is said that it is difficult to penetrate this road with only the skills of the original Ha Dong-gun party.

That was the problem.

‘If the Ha Dong-gun party is difficult to endure, it means that it is an environment that ordinary people cannot endure even more’

It was a party composed entirely of awakened people.

Is that all

The combination was good, and even gave firearms to Moon Byung-ho, Kim Gun, and Kim Da-jung, who did not have the right means of attack.

Even so, I was having a hard time moving only 1 km, so I said everything.

‘——The probability that the family is alive is close to zero.’

Now I had to admit it.

Maybe that’s why the closer I got to my hometown, the more my fear grew.

‘Still, I don’t know. I might have been lucky enough to have survived’

I couldn’t let go of the string of hope.

It was when Ha Dong-gun’s party was passing by the communal fish market.

Now I could say that I was really almost there.

Even though it was horribly damaged, the familiar street scene evoked longing.

‘Just go into that alley and you’re at home.’

But then I noticed a strange tree occupying the middle of the road.

Immediately, Ha Dong-gun gave an order to the party.

[Please stop.]

A giant tree by the roadside.

‘What is that?’

Was there anything like that?

It couldn’t be.

It was the city where I was born and raised.

I had a perfect idea of what was where.

‘There’s no way the city would have left that thing and left the tree blocking the middle of the road!’

So that means that it is a tree that appeared after the world was destroyed.

And what that meant was clear.

‘It’s a monster.’

I glared at him with the eyes of an absolute.

“Tree Giant (Lv. 32)”

‘Also’

Up until now, it was full of marine life type monsters, so if I made a mistake, I almost thought it was an ordinary tree.

Considering that the level was quite high at 30, he could have suffered serious damage if he passed by without knowing anything.

Ha Dong-gun ordered the party.

[That tree is a monster. Attack.]

As soon as he gave the order to attack, Oh Eon-joo made a hand-in-hwa, and Kim Ga-young shot an arrow at the tree.

Fish!

The arrow with the piercing skill penetrated the tree perfectly, but the message that the tree giant was caught did not appear.

instead.

Wood deuk-

The tree slowly began to rise.

Wood Deuk—

[Attack!]

There was no reason to wait until the monster was ready.

Immediately, Ha Dong-gun’s spear flew toward the wooden pole.

However, the tree tentacles sprouting from his body blocked Ha Dong-gun’s flying spear.

Kwajik!

Although the tip of the tentacle was smashed, it blocked Ha Dong-gun’s javelin throw without any damage.

The tree started walking toward the party.

Cooung—

Every time the heavy body moved, the floor vibrated loudly.

shushuk

Moon Byeong-ho, who teleported behind him, fired a pistol at the tree monster’s back.

Taang— Tang—!

They hit his body, but didn’t do any significant damage.

Moon Byeong-ho’s pistol attack bounced off with barely breaking the bark of a tree.

Push!

In the case of Gayoung Kim’s arrow, things were a little better.

Because of the piercing skill, he succeeded in making a hole through the tree, but that was all.

Cooung—

The tree monster didn’t care if there were holes in its body.

cooong!

When he got close to him, Oh Eon-joo took the lead, receiving Kim Da-jung’s blessing, as he had been doing until now.

“Kreung!”

Tree roots swung towards her like a whip, and Oh Eon-joo avoided it with a graceful movement and was finally able to attack the tree monster’s body.

Kwajik!

The wooden monster’s body exploded in half, dealing the most significant blow so far.

however.

Quadduk—

The roots under Oh Eon-joo’s feet grew in an instant and grabbed her ankle tightly.

“Keugh!”

Quad deuk—

It soon grew thicker and completely restrained O’Eon-joo’s entire lower body.

The moment the additional roots sprouted and flew toward the heart of Oh Eon-joo.

Shush!

Moon Byeong-ho, risking his life, appeared in front of Oh Eon-joo, put his hand on her shoulder and teleported again and disappeared.

shushuk

‘Well?’

It was then that I caught a strange reaction from the tree monster.

‘Why did the attack stop?’

It was the moment when Moon Byeong-ho appeared blocking Oh Eon-joo.

It was only for a moment, but I was able to confirm that the tree monster’s attack was about to stop.

‘Perhaps?’

I ordered Ha Dong-gun’s party to regroup and prepare for the second match against the tree monster.

[Only Mr. Oh Eon-ju fall back and let the rest attack.]

“Yes? Oh Eon-joo?”

[Yeah.]

Oh Eon-joo was the leader of the Ha Dong-gun party.

Without such a person, of course, the power would inevitably decrease.

The tree monster was one of the most annoying monsters I’ve encountered so far in that it doesn’t work, but everyone is puzzled that it’s taking out the best power.

“All right.”

Oh Eon-joo fell in without saying anything, and others were bewildered, but accepted it for now.

“Follow Jaehyun-nim’s orders. Mr. Oh Eon-joo falls behind to protect Mr. Ga-young and Mr. Da-jung, and you, Deok-soo, come forward.”

“Okay––! But can I?”

“One body bread is hard.”

“Oh, okay!”

Ha Dong-gun said to Oh Eon-joo.

“The back, please.”

“I know.”

It was the moment Oh Eon-joo released the transformation and fell into the rear.

A strange thing happened.

Cooung—

“uh?”

Cooung—

The moment Oh Eon-joo released the hand-painted painting and returned to human form, the tree monster turned its back without regret and began to return to its place.

“–what?”

The tree monster returned to its original position, then sat down as if nothing had happened and returned to its tree shape.

“Jaehyun. How did this happen? Did you know?”

I didn’t expect things to turn out like this, so I couldn’t answer right away.

“Doesn’t attack humans?”

If you think about it, the tree monster started attacking from the moment Oh Eon-joo made a handprint.

In addition, the tree monster’s attack was aiming only for Oh Eon-joo.

The attack of the other party was only defended by cutting off, but did not counterattack.

That’s why Oh Eon-joo was taken out.

Now that I see it, Oh Eon-ju is not the problem, but the figure of Oh Eon-joo in handprints seems to have stimulated the tree monster.

‘then—‘

It was then.

Wow!

The tree monster started moving once more.

However, the direction he moved was in the exact opposite direction of Ha Dong-gun’s party.

What appeared there is a land shark that moves by crawling on land like a snake.

Fu-wook!

The land shark struggled, impaled horribly by the tree giant’s roots.

cooong kung

The tree giant, who overpowered the land shark, turned his back and went back to his place without regret.

On one side of the root of the tree giant, a skewered land shark was writhing in agony.

‘What is that?’

It wasn’t unusual for monsters to fight each other.

Even the same goblins would fight and kill each other, and it was not uncommon to see orcs and goblins fighting.

So, there was nothing strange about a scene in which a tree giant subdued a land shark that invaded his territory.

‘The strange thing is, why don’t humans attack?’

Despite Ha Dong-gun’s party approaching quite closely, he was still like an ordinary tree, motionless.

‘I could burn it like this, but…’

Although he showed close immunity to physical attacks, it is assumed that fire using intermediate attribute magic (fire) will be fatal to him.

but.

‘Let’s leave it as it is’

If it only attacked other monsters except humans, it would be better to leave it alone.

If you have to, you might be able to evacuate the party inside the territory this guy is guarding.

[It doesn’t seem hostile, so please ignore the tree monster and move on. You can go past the apartment over there and enter the alley.]

“All right.”

So, the Ha Dong-gun party began to move cautiously.

In order to enter the alley beyond the apartment, I had to pass right next to the tree monster, so I passed slowly, being wary of any unexpected situations.

Fortunately, the tree monster remained in place until the Ha Dong-gun party passed by.

Just before Ha Dong-gun’s party enters the alley.

The part that had been hidden by the apartment building was revealed, and my heart sank.

‘Ugh!’

There was a huge tree there.

It was a tree with a mysterious atmosphere, emitting faint light, whether it was because of the moonlight in the night sky, or whether it was because of its own glow.

Its size alone is about 20 to 30 meters, and the thickness is also enormous.

By the way.

‘That’s it~!’

It bothered me that the tree’s location was exactly where our house should be.

The moment I saw it, an uncontrollable rage filled my brain.

It seemed that the blood was gushing backwards.

Unbeknownst to me, I was gritting my teeth and giving strength to my whole body.

I saw my face reflected in the living room window distorted like that of a demon.

Until I saw it, I didn’t even know I was making that expression.

I didn’t even know I was a person capable of such a face.

‘I will kill you’

I thought boiling anger was just an idiom.

However, seeing this emotion heating up the blood throughout the body, it couldn’t be an appropriate expression.

I felt like I was going to have to explode that monstrous tree right now to fill my stomach.

‘Fill it with gas and explode it. Ha Dong-gun and his party can be summoned by summoning vassals.’

Right before I lost my temper and gave an order to Ha Dong-gun’s party.

[Detected the presence of a blood relative of the Absolute in every corner of the house.]

A cold system notification popped into my burning head.

-?

And that was the moment.

“What are you guys?!”

A stranger’s voice came from the darkness.
