Episode 127

On the way to Area 2.

Baek Sa-jun checked the message in front of him.

– Time remaining: 2 hours 30 minutes.

– Current Soul Power: 25,000.

– Congratulations. You have the most soul power among the hunters who entered together. The gap between you and the second place is 10,000 soul power.

It was a message that only appeared in the soul prison.

‘I guess there’s someone with some talent.’

After seeing the message, Baek Sa-jun recalled the faces of the looters who had been near the portal before entering the dungeon.

There wasn’t really a name for it. It seems like there was a guy with good skills as an extra.

‘I guess I’ll have to move a little faster.’

Baek Sa-jun entered area 2 right away.

– Required Soul Power: 20,000.

– Enter zone 2.

Area 2 wasn’t much different from Area 3. The only difference was that there were more powerful monsters roaming around there than in Area 3.

and.

“Kill him! Kill that bastard!”

“Soul power! Give me soul power!”

There were looters everywhere.

Were they possessed by souls? No. They were people in their right mind fighting to steal soul power.

Among them, there were some who looked particularly shabby.

“Hey, I want to get out of here now!”

“Hey, there’s a newbie over there! Target those guys first!”

“Lee, they don’t seem to be Rebellion guys?”

“I know! Kill me!”

His appearance is a mess, his mental state does not seem to be sound, and he shows hostility towards people.

These are the looters who came before Baek Sa-jun.

‘The soul prison can be accessed in depth if you achieve the goal of gathering soul power within a certain amount of time.’

Well then, if so.

‘What about the people who can’t gather their strength?’

What happens to those who fail to achieve their goal of gathering all their energy within a given time?

The answer is simple.

– Failed to achieve the goal.

– To escape the soul prison, you must gather a huge amount of soul power. If you fail to do so, you will become a part of this prison… … .

The goal changes.

Instead of gathering your soul power and going deep into the dungeon, gather your soul power and escape the dungeon.

That was the reason why the looters who came before Baek Sa-jun attacked people to gather their strength.

For the goal of escaping from here.

“There’s no reason for me to have to endure it.”

“Eww!”

The looters became aware of Baek Sa-jun’s presence.

Rather, it was an opportunity for him as well. It was also a chance to gather a large amount of soul power at once.

– Kwaaaaang!

“Kuaaaah!”

Marauders rushing towards Baek Sa-jun.

A number of phantoms rose from beneath their feet and clung to them. A series of violent explosions engulfed the looters.

A considerable number of people died instantly, and those who survived were caught up in the .

“Lord, die! Die!”

“Keuk… … !”

Marauders attacking each other.

Baek Sa-jun resurrected the dead among them as undead and had them attack the raiders.

“Skeleton. Leave one alive.”

– Crunch.

There’s something on my mind.

We must keep one alive and gather information. Baek Sa-jun, who gave orders to his followers, checked the soul jar.

“There is no response from Zone 2… … .”

Baek Sa-jun’s interest was not in the plunderers.

He walked around the entire area of ​​Sector 2, checking to see if there was any place where Ragnar’s soul complex was reacting.

But the soul complex did not respond.

This means that Ragnar’s soul is not in this area.

rather.

– Ss …

“After all, I guess I should go deep.”

The soul complex was pointing to the depths.

I thought it might be different from the original, but it seems to be deep, just like the original.

There is only one way to get to the depths.

– The person who collects the most soul energy within a given time can go to the deep part of the prison.

Of all the raiders who came with Baek Sa-jun, he is the one who collected the most soul power. That’s all.

And it won’t be that difficult.

– Okay.

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

The skeleton who dealt with the enemies brought one of the marauders alive as ordered by Baek Sa-jun.

It smelled horrible because I hadn’t washed it in a long time.

Baek Sa-jun looked down at the looters.

“How long has it been since you came here?”

“Eat some shit… … .”

“okay?”

Baek Sa-jun spread out his palm.

Then, a white snake with a terrible poison appeared from his hand and wrapped itself around the robber’s neck.

The fangs emitted a cool light.

“Ugh, uhhh! What, what are you doing!”

“What are you doing? Since you don’t seem to have any intention of answering, I’m just going to kill you as painfully as possible.”

“What, what did you say?!”

The white snake was spitting venom into the surrounding area.

The corpses of the poisoned marauders made a horrible sound and began to melt. The poison was even seen spreading through their blood vessels throughout their bodies.

The looter shuddered when he saw that.

“My poison is quite toxic. If you want to die in excruciating pain, continue to refuse.”

“Huh, hhhhh! Two weeks! It’s been two weeks!”

The terrified marauder screamed in response. Baek Sa-jun snickered at the sight.

“You should have answered earlier. What about the others?”

“Either I’m possessed by the altar and go crazy… or I’m gathering my psychic power somehow to escape… … .”

“Was there a Rebellion Guild too?”

That was what was on my mind.

Rebellion Guild. They were occupying the fortress, but went missing when they entered the dungeon.

“I think half of them were tricked into going to the altar, stabbed each other and died… The rest of them are stuck together and trying to escape, saving their energy!”

“Where is it?”

“Hey, west of here! That’s where they operate! Go, that’s where the biggest prison is! Live there! We don’t go there much either!”

The Rebellion Guild was half dead, but it seemed to be moving in an organized manner.

Then there is only one question left.

“He, and the leader of Rebellion’s guild… … .”

“Did you go into the depths?”

“Oh, how did you not know?”

The looter’s eyes widened.

“Oh, that’s right. I gathered the most soul power and went deep into the area. You said you deceived your guild members. But, if you look at the dungeon, it hasn’t disappeared… … .”

“It must have failed at a deep level.”

“Yeah, that must be it!”

The Soul Prison is a one-time dungeon.

A dungeon that disappears when someone successfully conquers it. The fact that it still remains means that the guild leader of Rebellion who entered the depths failed.

Actually, it was like that in the original too.

“Okay, that’s enough.”

“Then, I’ll spare you… … .”

– Taaang!

Magnus’ gun blasted with magical power.

The corpse falls. Baek Sa-jun resurrected the dead raider as an undead, then called his followers.

“Go. Kill everyone you see.”

– Ugh.

The remaining members are Skeleton and Iria.

Baek Sa-jun gathered the remaining undead.

“We are going west.”

The Rebellion Guild in the west.

They’ll probably have a lot of soul power. If you take them out, you can gather a lot of soul power.

‘There are probably quite a lot of numbers… … .’

I wasn’t too worried. It was also a good opportunity to test out my new wand.

Baek Sa-jun walked west.

* * *

“Ugh, shit… … .”

West of the soul prison.

A group of hunters gathered in the largest prison nearby. They looked shabby, as if they hadn’t washed in a long time, but strangely enough, they were well-equipped.

“How long do I have to stay here!”

“Stop whining! Who doesn’t want to go out?”

“What? This kid!”

They were members of Rebellion’s guild.

Before entering this dungeon, the guild was living in the fortress with some influence, but now they are literally no different from homeless people.

It was originally a guild with weak solidarity, but as the situation became more difficult, internal strife became more severe.

The biggest thing was the guild leader’s betrayal.

“Fuck, should I kill you first?”

“Try it! Your brain is already… …!”

“stop!”

However, the reason this group was able to survive was because the vice guild leader remained here.

A large skinhead. A man named Song Tae-ju, the vice-guild leader of Rebellion, who uses martial arts as his main weapon.

“What’s so loud! Shut up!”

“Ugh… … .”

“… … .”

Kuung!

When Song Tae-ju, who had just entered the prison with his subordinates, growled, the guild members lowered their heads.

Now that the guild master has left, the person with the most power here is the vice-guild master, Song Tae-ju.

There was no way I could disobey him.

“You idiots. Hey, let’s clean these up together!”

“Yes, yes! Are you new?”

“Yeah. They’re the guys from outside this time.”

The men threw a bunch of corpses.

It was the corpse of a looter. The members of the Rebellion guild came after them like lynxes and took away every single item the corpse had.

“There were new ones coming in today. So I went and hunted them myself. Hehe, there are still a lot.”

“Hey, something to eat! There’s food too!”

“Then let’s go catch him right now!”

The guild members shouted urgently.

The Rebellion, which had established itself in the west, made a living by ambushing any raiders passing by or those who had newly entered Sector 3.

The equipment was also reinforced with theirs.

“Ugh, shit. I guess I’m getting used to this after doing this for so long. These days, this prison feels like my home, not the castle.”

“Well, I still have to go, hyung.”

“I know! Tsk, but I guess I should be thankful that I leveled up a lot while staying here.”

Song Tae-joo gritted his teeth.

“I just need to gather a little more energy. Then I can go out. I need to go out, Guild Leader… I need to wait for that traitor to come out and kill him.”

“Please include me too.”

“Me too, bro!”

The members of Rebellion’s guild were in a state of resentment towards the guild leader who had betrayed them.

If you were going to betray me, you could have at least cleared the dungeon. Since you couldn’t even do that, you didn’t let me escape.

“Tsk, hurry up and clean up the bodies! And prepare for the expedition! Let’s go and raid those new recruits right away!”

“Yes, bro!”

“in action!”

The Rebellion Guild has adapted to the soul prison.

Although it was in the form of killing someone in a similar way to the outside and taking what he had.

and.

– Okay.

“Huh? That’s… … .”

That too will end today.

One of the looters who was stripping the corpses of their belongings looked up and saw something strange.

There is someone at the entrance to the prison.

“Brother! There’s someone over there!”

“What is that?”

It was a man holding a cane.

A skinny man with an ominous air. Song Tae-ju examined his attire.

‘That armor… looks pretty nice, doesn’t it?’

It was such a good item that even Song Tae-ju, who had little to do with quality items, could tell it was good.

Gulp, he swallowed.

‘If I kill that guy and take his armor… … .’

Of course, a guy with that much armor is bound to be skilled. But in the end, he’s alone.

There are 80 people here. They have also raised their level a lot while working in the soul prison.

Maybe, it is possible?

“Guys! Take up your weapons!”

“Yes, bro!”

Song Tae-joo made a quick decision.

Since you’ve come this far, I can’t just let you go. Whatever it is, I’ll kill you and take it from you.

A shout burst from his mouth.

“Kuaaaaaaah!”

Gift, War Cry.

It was a gift that strengthened the abilities of surrounding allies who heard the shout and weakened enemies.

Song Tae-ju clenched his fist and kicked the ground.

“Kill him!”

“Wow!”

Song Tae-joo and guild members rushing forward.

Baek Sa-jun, who was watching, grabbed his cane.

“It’s a perfect time to test out a new weapon.”

A nightmare fusion that has absorbed three weapons.

Although it has yet to absorb one weapon, it is an incredibly powerful staff even in its current state.

Baek Sa-jun drew out the power of the staff.

“Ooh, oh… oh?”

“Huh, huh?”

A scam that spreads all around in an instant.

The staff emitted a black aura. Song Tae-ju felt uneasy when he saw it, but tried to hide it.

“Don’t stop! Go!”

“Oh, ohhh!”

Song Tae-joo quickly closed the distance.

And at that very moment.

– Crack, crack!

“Uh, uh uh… … .”

The space behind Baek Sa-jun’s back split open. And through that gap, a huge figure appeared.

The upper body of a skeleton made of only bones. An old and worn black robe covered the entire upper body.

And what he held in his hand was.

– Woof woof… … .

A giant scythe.

A soul’s howl was heard from the scythe filled with ominous evil.

“Now, wait a minute. That… … .”

The enemies recognized the appearance of a giant god of death.

– A part of [Thanatos] descends.

Baek Sa-jun gestured.

The grim reaper swung his scythe in agreement.

– Crunch!

A splitting space. The guild members within that area were literally killed, their bodies severed.

And the evil spirits gathered in the Grim Reaper’s scythe seeped into the bodies of the dead guild members.

– Kwaaaaang!

“Whoaaaa!”

“Ugh, gasp… … !”

It caused a huge explosion.

It was an explosion with enough power to shake the prison and kill guild members within the blast radius.

Casualties quickly mounted.

But [Thanatos] is not over yet.

– Ugh… … .

– Woof woof… … .

Those who died in the explosion were also imbued with the spirit, and were all resurrected as undead.

The guild members who rose as undead. Those who barely survived screamed when they saw it.

“Ugh, euaaaah!”

“Everyone, everyone is dead! All at once… … !”

“Oh, you’re crazy!”

The terrified guild members fled in panic, and the undead immediately pursued them.

There are only two left.

“Uh, uh uh… … .”

Song Tae-joo is at a loss in an unexpected situation.

“As expected, it’s expensive.”

Baek Sa-jun was satisfied with the performance of the item.

Song Tae-ju stared blankly at him, unable to accept what he had seen.

Baek Sa-jun also looked at Song Tae-ju.

“Have you gathered a lot of soul energy?”

“What, what… Ugh!”

Baek Sa-jun snapped his fingers.

Then, a blood-stained nail pierced Song Tae-ju’s abdomen. It was Iria who appeared behind him without a sound and pierced him.

His body trembled.

“You, you, what the heck… … .”

“Don’t worry.”

Song Tae-joo’s body was cooling down quickly. Baek Sa-jun felt the spiritual energy flowing out of him.

“The guild leader who betrayed you will soon follow you.”

Those were the last words.
