078.Night of Ameris

“Team Ebony. The location is strange. It seems to be outside the training range… The coordinates are confirmed to be in the center of the swamp.”

The female boss who seemed to be in charge of the report from the subordinate in the situation room said as if it was no big deal.

“That happens sometimes. Try hitting the machine a few times.”

“Well, I don’t think that’s the case.”

Hunter Kim Do-hoon did not like his boss’s insincere attitude, but he hid his expression and spoke with a smile.

“It may be directly related to the safety of students. Still, why not check it out?”

“What are you trying to do because an outsider knows something?”

The female boss answers nervously, as if she is bored.

Hunter Kim Do-hoon frowned at her attitude and pointed out in a sharp voice.

“I am not an outsider, but an external safety officer and advisor for this exercise.”

The female boss flinched at Hunter Kim Do-hoon’s words, but then spoke louder.

“Whether you are a professor or an instructor, I am the person in charge of this situation room!”

Seeing that, Hunter Kim Do-hoon sighed and answered as if he was tired.

“Part of the advisory role includes providing gratitude that can be reflected in your performance evaluation in the future.”

“Tch… !”

At his words her her, the female boss frowned and mumbled as she approached her her subordinate her her.

“What does he know? Hey, get out of the way!”

She nervously sat down in her subordinate’s seat and looked closely at the screen.

“Now, it’s just an error…”

When she was speechless, the subordinate next to her looked at the screen again and started speaking.

“It’s not an error. Well, this is a swampy area, but we barely left the training range!”

Hunter Kim Do-hoon smiled at her words and asked

“So, what you’re saying is that the club ‘Ebony’ is crossing the swamp right now?”

“Yes, I don’t know why I made that choice, but I’m sure.”

Professor Kang Geom-seon smiled as if he was shocked and opened his mouth.

“That’s really novel.”

“I see. I definitely didn’t expect this.”

Hunter Kim Do-hoon agreed with Professor Kang Geom-seon and thought as he looked at the coordinates in the corner of the screen.

‘It may seem like we’re going back right now, but if we go right across this swamp.’

Hunter Kim Do-hoon smiled and muttered as his thoughts reached a conclusion.

“Student Kim Si-woo. “I heard you don’t need a cigarette.”

***

It didn’t take long to move to the swamp.

‘The problem starts here.’

A vast swamp unfolds before your eyes.

And inside, as expected, there was a father’s funeral filled with the corpses of ghouls.

Some of them seem to be still alive, writhing grotesquely.

It is literally hell.

“Ugh! I feel like I’m going to pass out!”

“Where did you learn such advanced vocabulary?”

Erina is unable to come to her senses at the sight.

Baek A-rin looked around as if trying to figure out the terrain, found a huge tree in the middle of the swamp, and pointed to it.

“That tree is strangely large.”

“Oh, really! It’s a ridiculously big tree.”

“That’s right. I guess he grew up thanks to the abundance of zombies down there.”

“Kyaaa! Didn’t I tell you not to say that?”

Erina is distracted by my joke.

“Well, that tree has something to do.”

Baek A-rin asked as if she was puzzled by my words.

“In that tree?”

“It will take at least a day to pass through this swamp. Since your skills are limited, won’t it be impossible to maintain it forever?”

“That’s right. At most, it’s probably half of that.”

“So.”

At my words, Baek Arin nodded as if she realized something.

“Is that the hotel we’ll be staying at?”

“That’s the correct answer.”

She smiled at my answer.

“Compared to where I slept last night, I could give this place at least one more star.”

This is a hotel approved by Baek A-rin of Seolsan Mountain.

Is this going to be successful?

Of course, it is not just for that reason.

There is something to do under that tree.

A set book sold with the pretense of containing the after-story of an episode that did not appear in the original work.

There are things you can only find out by reading the setting book.

The background of Ghoul Field.

Now the ghouls are running around in complete disorder, but it wasn’t like this before.

The original owner of the Ghoul Field was a ‘vampire’.

They have lived here since ancient times, so much so that it is unclear exactly when.

It happened so long ago that it’s hard to tell whether it started with Dungeon Break or if there were other factors.

It is said that they are currently an extinct and completely forgotten race due to the large number of ghouls caused by Dungeon Break.

‘Actually, even if it existed in modern times, I don’t think they would have captured everyone and put them in a circus.’

Maybe it would be a more honorable death.

In any case, due to the unknown first ‘Night of Ameris’, all the heads of the upper-level ghouls who were subordinate to the lower-level ghouls were blown away.

In other words, the reason the ghouls are stupid now is because all the high-ranking ghouls died during the first ‘Night of Ameris’ and only the low-ranking ghouls survived.

A necklace worn by a vampire who was sacrificed by a high-ranking ghoul.

It’s under that tree.

And now that all the upper-level ghouls and vampires have disappeared.

‘That means no one in this world knows except me.’

In this world, it is rare to find a material that can be obtained so neatly without any hassle.

Moreover, it is not difficult to obtain it.

All you have to do is place your hand at the roots beneath the highest branch of that huge tree.

There is a necklace in the empty space there.

‘First of all, let’s get to that tree.’

He spoke to Baek A-rin with his arm extended toward the swamp, with his index finger pinned.

“Go LX! Freeze everything!”

“Ugh… I feel bad.”

As soon as I said that, she created an icy road that was big enough for three people to pass by without any problem.

“Good job LX!”

“Don’t call me by that name!”

…

As the sun set and it got dark, we reached the tree as expected.

From noble mtl dot nete

“I’m dying.”

Baek A-rin looks like she’s fully stretched out.

It was definitely her 100% credit to get this far.

She’s been using the skill for nearly half a day, so she’s definitely tired.

“Get a good rest today.”

At my words, Erina looked at Baek A-rin and said.

“That’s right. I’ll give you my food too.”

“Don’t do that with a serious face. It’s funny…”

While Baek Arin and Erina were joking around, I looked up and walked towards the highest branch of the tree.

“Is this place?”

When I put my hand in the swamp, I feel an unpleasant sensation.

“Well, what are you doing, Siwoo?”

“I really don’t know this. What kind of eccentricity is that, Siwoo Kim?”

Ignoring the astonished two, I focused on the sensation I felt in my hands…

“No way, someone took it, right?”

As I waved my hands around with an anxious mind, fortunately I touched something.

‘I found it!’

When I lifted my hand out of the swamp with a hard texture, I saw a necklace with a beautiful gem shining in blue light.

As expected, it seems that I am the only pervert who comes to this dangerous swamp and dares to put his hand in this disgusting swamp and mess with the tree roots.

“W-What is that, Siu? I have a bad feeling.”

“Yeah, it’s just pretty, right?”

It’s scary for no reason that Erina, who has a good sense of humor, says things like that.

Baek Arin also looked closely at the jewel in my hand and said.

“Just looking at it, it doesn’t look like something that should be thrown away carelessly.”

Of course, Baek Arin.

He seems to be good at recognizing expensive items.

‘If Baek A-rin admits it, at least it’s not trash.’

She thought about that and looked at her necklace.

[Sellus’ Necklace]

[It contains a sincere wish for the death of the most dear person.]

Due to the effect of the tutorial, the explanation was visible and at the same time, it was shining in a bright blue color as if it were mesmerizing.

Is it really any different from the setting book?

As expected, it didn’t seem to have much effect or ability.

All you see is the owner’s name and a description from a strange settings book.

It’s an unpleasant explanation, but it’s just a necklace.

No, to be exact, it is an expensive necklace that costs a lot of money.

There is a difference between an ordinary necklace and an expensive necklace.

To be honest, she had doubts that she could get it this easily.

‘When I pulled it out, I was nervous that some kind of monster would come out.’

Well, good things are good things.

As I was smiling, Baek Arin came up to me and asked quietly.

“How did you know this?”

She smiled and responded to Baek Arin’s words.

“Let’s get some sleep first. You’re tired. I’ll give you the best seat.”

At my words, Baek Arin shook her head as if she had let out steam and then straightened up and answered.

“I agree. I don’t even have the strength to stand anymore.”

“There is enough to eat, so eat enough. If you need anything, let me know.”

“If that’s the case.”

In response, she stood with one hand behind her back and the other in front, imitating the butler she had seen somewhere.

“Our hotel offers great views and a variety of food.”

Baek A-rin smiled and said when she saw me.

“The hands are the opposite, but it’s not bad.”

Baek A-rin seems satisfied with the service.

I checked the time out of the corner of my eye.

‘There will be plenty of time to sleep today.’

So far, nothing has deviated significantly from expectations.

If we pass this swamp like this, we will definitely be in the top 4 teams.

The condition is not bad at this level.

‘It must succeed.’

If you fail this ‘Night of Ameris’, there is no turning back.

On the contrary, if we succeed, we will grow incomparably compared to now.

‘And Lee Seong-hyun, the back of his head will feel so tingly and painful.’
