Episode 30
Episode 30: Ghoul Sorcerer
A small silver bell attached to a short handle.
Bizarre and profane patterns engraved on its surface.
It is a powerful artifact that contains a special energy.
And that artifact… … It was held in a bony hand that protruded from the wall.
“Uh, that… … “A hand from the wall?”
Someone on the security team said something absurd, but that wasn’t the end.
A person slowly began to walk out from the large red circle drawn on the wall.
“… … “You ruined our plan.”
A dwarf and small physique, a tattered cloak, and messy white hair.
Strange tattoos covering his entire body and bizarre green glowing eyes.
Although it clearly has the appearance of a human, it is such a terrible being that it is no match for ghouls or zombies.
He is leaning against the inner wall of the underground parking lot and looking at me.
[System: The ‘Enhanced Vigilance’ trait is activated.]
The old man, or rather the priest of the cult, standing in front of that huge and hideous pattern showed his burning anger towards me.
Wearing a leather robe like a mat, and flowing white hair.
Strange tattoos cover his entire body and ominous eyes glowing with a sinister green color.
A grotesque old man, who clearly has the appearance of a human, but exudes a murderous spirit so terrible that he is no match for ghouls or zombies, is approaching waving a silver bell.
“You are interfering with our denomination’s cause and deed…” … .”
“platform?”
“okay! Lord of all tombs… … .”
The old man slowly raised his trembling arms and continued speaking. A phlegm-boiling voice that is uncomfortable to listen to comes out of his mouth.
“God of the Crypt, the greatest and greatest ghoul, ancestor of ghouls, and father of all ghouls who gave this humble servant his great flesh… … .”
I laugh out loud.
What is that bastard?
Was there an NPC like that in the Demonic Order that served [the father of all ghouls]?
Judging from his condition and level, as well as the level of magical power he contains in his body and the artifact he holds in his hand, he is at least an executive or a religious leader.
Even if you proceed from the current Underworld Guest Quest to the end of the Underworld Continuous Quest, the grandfather with that design will not appear.
An entity outside the game’s setting? Or is it just an NPC in the game that I haven’t encountered?
Many questions came to mind, but even if I asked them, it would be difficult to get answers.
The condition of the person who must answer my question… … Because it didn’t look good.
The old man holding the bell scratched his wrinkled forehead and spoke gibberish to himself.
“It came too, too fast, you guys. If I had come a little more slowly, I would have been able to attract more quality followers… … I’m sorry, I’m sorry. We could have turned this entire building into our temple, but we couldn’t gather more strength because we didn’t have enough sacrifice… … . It’s a shame… … It’s a shame… … .”
Kwak Dae-yong made the sound of gritting his teeth.
“This is a temple of xie jiao… … ? These kids… … .”
Kwak Dae-yong, who interpreted the old man’s words in his own way, raised his hammer and shouted.
“You crazy old man! “Which company did you commit this kind of nonsense at the instigation of?”
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…” … sandbar? sandbar? It is only our Lord who can give us orders! According to the revelations and commands of the Lord and the guidance of the Great Leader, we prepared for an important and sacred ceremony, yes, an underground ceremony, to prepare for the feast sacrifice… … . But these trash people who can’t even be used as food for grilling… … Interfering with the great plan of the [Father of all Ghouls]… … .”
The old man, covered in straw, continued to pour out crazy noises with a non-stop momentum.
Although this is my first time experiencing this event, it is not the first time an event of this type has occurred.
My mind is strange… … No, they are cultists who have looked into the deep abyss and realized the truth of this world.
Their attitude was generally like that. hmm… … It’s painful to listen to that kind of sound without even having a skip button. If there is a skip button, I want to press it.
But before I could do anything, Kwak Dae-yong received the old man’s words.
“Consciousness? Lord? “What kind of bullshit are you talking about?”
Kwak Dae-yong, who fell for the provocation, is ready to run out swinging a hammer at any moment.
No, but it’s no use rushing in here… … .
[warm sound]
『Team leader, not that. I will deal with you, so take care of your subordinates』
“what? ah… … eww… … i get it.”
Kwak Dae-yong, startled by hearing my voice piercing directly into his head, slowly backs away while remaining alert.
I tapped his side and spoke slowly.
“Team leader Kwak Dae-yong, that old man is not a troubleshooter who came to lower the sale price of this apartment.”
“what? “Then why on earth are you doing such a crazy thing?”
“It’s because of religious beliefs. It’s not someone I can communicate with anyway, and if you keep talking to me, I’ll explain the world view endlessly… … No, you’re talking nonsense, so stop.”
There must have been a bizarre and grand plan of its own that could not be understood by ordinary human thoughts or perspectives.
The change from the original quest flow is probably due to the [Feast Offering] effect. One of the beings of the abyss must have given the old man a revelation.
****
[Feast Offering]: Increases the probability of encountering beings of the abyss, increases the probability of attracting the attention of beings of the abyss, increases the number of monsters that appear, increases the probability of elite monsters appearing.
/ You are a feast prepared for the beings of the abyss.
****
And maybe if I come forward, my true colors will slowly show.
“Yes, yes, you.”
Look at that. The complexion has changed.
The old man raised his bony, yellow hand, which was not holding a bell, and pointed at me.
“The Great, Great Father of Ghouls has given a revelation. The other world, the sacrifice brought from the other world, the sacrifice for the banquet. “The Lord wants you.”
A sacrifice brought from another world?
“Hey, what do you mean?”

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…” … We, our poor family, can’t be wasted on someone who killed over 100,000 of our family members and earned the title of slayer… … . Be a burnt offering, a burnt offering for the great, great advent, the beautiful, beautiful time of destruction.”
It’s crazy, it doesn’t make sense. If I had known it would end up like this anyway, I would have been the first to blow it, so I wasted my time listening to that nonsense.
The old man, a cult member of the Demonic Order and a ghoul spellcaster, or Houngan (Voodoo shaman), slowly stepped back and shook the silver bell he was holding.
rattle-.
A green mist containing ominous magic began to gather around the old man’s body.
“Oh, shit. Transform! Stop it!”
“what? transform?”
This is what I said to Kwak Dae-yong, but that idiot didn’t understand my intention and was confused. Oh, damn it! The fastest magic I can use right now is… … .
[Arrow of Destruction]
Tsuzzzzzzzz… … Paang!
The magic power of the negative dimension burst out, emitting a radiance of bizarre colors.
Pushing magical power towards the flying magic bullet, it adds new properties, direction, and destructive power.
[Spell Enhancement: Multiple Casting]
[Spell Enhancement: Maximization]
Chichachachachachacha!!
The magic bullets that accepted the new will and magic split in the air, took the shape of spewing buckshot, and flew away over a wide area.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!!
But it was already too late. I could sense that fact even before I heard the explosion sound from the hit.
The old man had already moved out of the range of the magic bullet at lightning speed.
“It’s gone!”
“What, where are you!”
A chaotic shouting sound erupted from among the security team members.
The lights each person is holding move dizzyingly to find the missing old man.
But all you see are strange murals, strewn corpses of ghouls, and human corpses scattered in pieces.
Ah really. Aren’t they people who got jobs because they have some skills? Is this really all there is to it?
“It’s over there! [Fireball]!”
Grrrrrrrrr!!
The magic power that escaped from my body forms a huge sphere of flame that condenses red elements that burn red. A huge, blazing flame.
The fireball flew without delay, consuming the darkness of the underground parking lot, and the light emitted by the red-hot flames cleared away the damp darkness and illuminated the figure of the old man hiding among it.
But before the flames could hit the old man, he jumped in from the darkness… … Two ghouls.
-Keeeeee!!
– Kkekkikee!!
Quaaaaaaa!!
The fireball flew in the correct direction and angle, but two ghouls suddenly intervened and threw themselves, causing the fireball to explode in the air.
“Khahahaha! Did you see it? “The father’s children throw themselves down like stubble to protect the voice of the great, great charnel house!”
Damn it, it’s a cheap origin and crude magic power, but his faith and the artifact he holds in his hand are real.
In response to his wishes… … A great being residing in the depths of the abyss grants him new powers.
[Father of all ghouls].
“Krrrrrrr… … .”
His wrinkled face, like an old tree trunk, is twisted grotesquely.
The snout is elongated and large fangs emerge.
And a sticky green mist surrounding his body.
It moves stickily and wraps around his body, like a tangible bundle of rope or a cloak.
“Turns into a monster!”
Someone shouts among Yeonam’s security team.
“Shoot! “Shoot and kill before it’s too late!”
Dudadadadadada!!!
A gloomy green fog and a chilling ghost.
Hundreds of bullets poured out from about 10 gun barrels, but for some reason, the bullets could not penetrate the green fog surrounding the old man, or rather, the ghoul magician who had now mutated into a completely grotesque form.
As if getting lost in the fog, the bullets that flew under precise aim had their trajectories bent the moment they came into contact with the fog and scattered in the wrong direction.
Even those who mainly use melee weapons hesitate, unable to dare to approach the bizarre ghoul master.
“Hehe… … Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… … .”
A bizarre sound of laughter bursts from the ghoul magician’s mouth.
His body slowly tilts. He is not falling. His body swayed in a strange position, then he lifted one foot off the floor… … .
Quack!!
It’s not an explosion. It is the sound of a ghoul magician stamping his feet.
“Aaaah!!”
The ghoul master, who had raised his magic power to the limit, stamped his foot once, and then his body disappeared.
Tremendous speed.
Spot!
The ghoul master who appeared in the middle of the security team’s ranks struck the head of the nearest security team member.
Kwasik!
A person’s head is pulled out in an instant by the ghoul magician’s lightly swinging fist.
Puhwaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
A huge amount of blood gushes from the head that is left below the chin, staining the ceiling of the underground parking lot with its concrete structure exposed.
The ghoul wizard looks down at his blood-soaked hands for a moment and then slowly opens his mouth.
The skin on his face had not yet stretched sufficiently to support his elongated muzzle, like that of a ghoul.
In the end, he cannot handle the excessively widening muzzle and his cheek tears apart with a crackling sound.
He took out his long tongue and slowly licked the blood on his hand.
“Hehehehe, hehehehehehehehe…” … “It’s delicious.”
Bizarre speed and absurd strength.
And such a gruesome sight.
Regardless of my will or feelings, a message window appears and blocks my vision.
[Your mind cannot accept this terrible sight. Resist fear with your mental strength stat. Judgment of reason… … success.]
However, screams erupt from among the ranks of the security team from those who were unable to overcome this situation.
“Aaaahhh!!!”
The security team’s ranks are disorganized in confusion. However, among them, someone who was in a slightly different form of confusion emerged from the others.
“You son of a bitch!!!”
