Kim Hye-na searches for information on a smartphone and reports some facts to Kang-jun.
"There are no reports of evil spirits here, but there have been several suicides in recent days. Three people jumped off the roof of a nearby parking garage for no reason."
Despite the article appearing, the evil spirits were so terrifying that news of the suicide went unnoticed.
'Suicide. They must have done it. '
Kang-jun glances coldly.
“I'll look around while you guys stay here. ”
"Yes, Boss-nim. ”
“Be careful, Boss-nim. ”
The secretary and bodyguard do not follow Kang-jun.
It was because they knew they would only be a hindrance.
Meanwhile, as Kang-jun approaches, a commotion comes from one side of the fog. Many shadows with sparkling eyes begin to look at Kang-jun.
Of course, the average person could not see it. Kang-jun can't understand the details in reality but he sees their rough shape.
However, he would be able to see them clearly on the battlefield.
[The enemy attack has automatically activated the battleground. ]
Susususu.
As the fog covers the entire area, Kang-jun stands in a room that is not a parking lot.
It was dark but he could see.
Upon entering the battlefield, Kang-jun is equipped with the Ghoul Lord Heavy Armor.
A chachak! Chak!
Moreover, the Vampire Lord's Sword, given to him by Commander Grania, appeared in his right hand.
"Kiii!"
"Kikiki!"
The one approaching Kang-jun is a skeleton of a bone.
Their bodies are made of solid bone. Only two red lights flashed on their skulls and it was over two meters tall.
The skulls that held swords, axes and even spears looked difficult.
What was unusual was that there was a large cage behind the skeleton with three people trapped inside!
They yell urgently after seeing Kang-jun.
"Please save me!"
"Hwooh! Please forgive me! "
The skulls, which looked like prison guards, whipped them.
"Kikin! Can't you just shut up?"
Jeep! Jeep!
"Ack!"
"Back up!"
Who're they? Why were they captured by the skeletons?
The story Kang-jun heard from Kim Hye-na flashed across his head later. Recently, three people have jumped off the roof of a parking garage.
Are they those guys?
Obviously, their suicide was related to skeletons. It looks like the souls of the dead are trapped in that prison.
Kang-jun looks at the skeleton and shouts.
"Why do things like you leave Hwanmong? After all, after being caught by my eyes, you're all dead."
“Kikikiki! What are you saying?"
“Kukaka! I will make you a slave and exploit you forever. ”
The skull quickly surrounds Kang-jun. There is no gap on the left or right.
Of course, Kang-jun doesn't care about being surrounded.
It was a good situation to test his new skills.
'Slash Unyielding Heavenly!'
The flash!
Just like when he used the Heavenly Cut, his sword flashed.
However, the flash does not point forward but spreads out in a circular wave around Kang-jun.
Sir! Papa! Pokup. . . !
The skull trembled when it was hit by the waves and turned into powder.
[43 nodes have been acquired. ]
[32 nodes have been acquired. ]
[One small moon stone has been obtained. ]
[One medium health herb has been obtained. ]
From the beginning, they are not suited to be Kang-jun's opponent.
Still, he had no idea they would all be erased with a single skill.
It was a very wide skill, so he thought it had weak damage and needed to be used twice.
He killed 31 of them but only one small moon rock fell.
It was like that even with his luck increasing by one.
'Hexia did say that the rate of decline would be lowered. '
Now, there was only one enemy left.
The skeleton that guards the prison.
“Kiii! Die!"
The skeletal guard ran over with a sparkling axe. Other creatures may have escaped in this situation but the skeleton was not afraid.
Kwajik!
Kang-jun smashes his sword into his skull.
After the last skeleton collapsed, the iron prison that held three souls melted.
At the same time, a bright light began to appear from the three souls.
"Thank you very much . "
"Thank you, we're free."
They smile brightly at Kang-jun before slowly disappearing.
"Heart of heart . "
Kang-jun waves at them. The ones who had treasures returned to normal but those who were already dead could not survive.
This is the only thing Kang-jun can do.
If Kang-jun has found this place before, he can prevent the situation. But he is only one person.
The souls were now freed, so that they could rest comfortably.
Susususu.
The battlefield began to disperse.
[You have won the battle. ]
[50 points of black magic energy have been obtained. ]
The black magic energy consumed for the Heavenly Unyielding Slash was completely restored.
'This is a very useful skill. '
Unlike Hwanmong, the advantage of the battlefield is that black magic energy can be obtained after victory.
Even so, there was the inconvenience of having to travel to find another incident. Its ascending speed would be slower than in Hwanmong.
"Well! Mist gone. ”
"Oh! How could he do that? "
Kim Hye-na and Hwang Chang-min, who are watching from a distance, are amazed when the fog disappears once Kang-jun enters.
"Is there really an evil spirit in the fog, Team Leader Hwang?"
Hwang Chang-min nodded at Kim Hye-na's question.
"I've seen it, so there's no doubt. The evil spirits were so afraid of his reputation that they disappeared."
Since time flowed differently, they felt like it was happening instantly.
No matter how fierce the battle was, it seemed like it was instant.
Kang-jun returns and rides the van.
"Now, let's go to Geumho-dong."
"Yes, Boss-nim."
Kang-jun finds a bright red dot on the Skia detection app.
The red color shows signs of spirit treasures. The fact that it was so thick meant that the creatures there were extremely powerful.
However, the point becomes increasingly unusual. Before he knew it, that point had become the deepest in Seoul.
No, it seems to be the darkest in South Korea. Even if the map was extended to China or Japan, no other similar places could be seen.
Currently, he was on his way to Geumho-dong.
'Freaky. Why is this area so dark? Don't tell me that some type of noble appeared? '
It was because they could not afford the strength necessary to enter reality.
'By the way, I'll see when I get there. '
A few dots then appeared, showing the treasures of the evil spirits. It's pale.
It means they are weak.
Kang-jun sends an address to Jang Seo-yeon.
[I've sent you some places where there have been incidents of evil spirit possession. ]
After a while, he received a reply.
[Thank you ^^. There are some places I have not identified. ]
[The difficulty level doesn't look high, so you can do it yourself. ]
[I'm going to Geumho-dong. Heh hehs. ]
[Why Geumho-dong?]
[There was a big uproar in that place. Anyway, thank you very much. I'll go there after that. ]
There's an uproar in Geumho-dong? Kang-jun asks for the address just in case.
[Maybe it's in front of K Mart in Geumho-dong?]
[Yes nih . ^^^ You've heard it. ]
[Wait! It's dangerous, so don't go there. Or wait until I arrive. ]
[I have arrived. Don'worry. Heh hehs. I have a lot of troops. I'm not so weak. ⁇ ]
What's with crying emoticons? It would be dangerous if his pride made him ignore Kang-jun's warnings.
In fact, he's quite aggressive.
He doesn't show it in front of Kang-jun but he's not the one to back off.
Last time, he led the lizardmen and swung his spear from the front row.
So, if he were to come, his personality would definitely make him rush to the mart.
Kang-jun sends him another message.
[I will not ignore you. Just wait . I don't think this is the place for you to come in. ]
However, he did not receive an answer.
He didn't even pick up his phone.
Currently, two vans are on the Dong-ho Bridge. It was because he had to cross the Han River to go from Apgujeong-dong to Geumho-dong.
However, the van began to stop near the center of the bridge.
"That's weird, there shouldn't be a traffic jam right now."
"It should move soon."
Kang-jun smiles despite being in a hurry. In Seoul, cars are blocked every day. There is nothing to do but wait patiently.
Yiin.
Then Skia rings. He's taking a call. It was from Lawyer Han Yeon-soo.
"Hello."
- Lee Kang-jun? Where are you now?
"Dongho Bridge. What's going on?"
Ah, are you heading to Geumho-dong now?
"Yes, I'm on my way."
Then Han Yeon-soo sighed in relief.
- I'm happy . There's a problem there. A strong presence has emerged. It's impossible for anyone but you to solve this.
"Actually, I was curious. What's showing up?"
- This is the ghost king.
"Giant master? Isn't that dead? "
Kang-jun is the one who killed him. He had crushed his skull.
- This is probably because the ghost king died.
"What does that mean?"
- The Second Demon King can revive the ghost master to some extent. It can only exist as an evil spirit.
“. . . ! ”
Han Yeon-soo continued.
- The Second Demon King had changed strategy. He will create confusion so that a ruler like you will enter. The attacks of evil spirits will become even stronger in the future.
Kang-jun's expression stiffens.
"But it would be a waste if I fought against that giant master."
Kang-jun has been fighting directly with the ghost king. Even if his equipment and level had improved since then, it was impossible for him to win against the phantom king without the support of the commander.
- Rest assured . The ghost lord was weaker than the original, but it was still a disaster for ordinary rulers. Please join with other rulers to remove them. This is what the Hexians and other commanders of the army said.
"They told you this?"
- Yes . They say they will give you 300 merit points if you succeed.
300 points.
It was the highest compensation ever given for a mission.
That means this mission is difficult.
That means this mission is difficult.
[Mission 13] Destroy the resurrected ghost master.
- Compensation: Experience, 8,000 nodes, 40 large moon rocks
There is a mission. He has no choice.
Meanwhile, the cars started moving on the road again. Van Kang-jun starts speeding.
[Jang Seo-yeon, the ghost king is the one who appears on the mart. If you see this, please wait. ]
Kang-jun once again texted Jang Seo-yeon. Still, there's no answer.
There must be something going on.
Meanwhile, the car entered the market. The front of the car was blocked again.
"Let me here. I'll run."
Kang-jun jumps down from the car and runs towards the mart.
There are hundreds of people. There was staring at mart across the street with a restless expression.
A group of people surrounded the mart.
Among them was a familiar person. Jang Seo-yeon's.
However, his body was bleeding and he was stiff like he was stuck in place.
Not just him but the others as well.
Kang-jun knows that the people around the mart are the rulers.
Then he heard the police nearby.
"Dirt! What the hell is going on?"
"It's frustrating that we can't even get close."
The public cannot reach the mart because of the transparent shield around it.
Only those called exorcists could break through the shield. However, once they entered, they became stiff like statues and became bloody.
Kang-jun knows that the rulers are fighting against the ghost king.
No, the battle is over.
The lords have already been defeated and are likely under the control of the ghost king.
Everyone had an empty expression like they were losing their souls.
"Wait on! You don't have to go in there. ”
“This is a controlled area. ”
"Do you want to die? Why did you go in there?"
Police block Kang-jun's road. Then Kim Hye-na, who was following him, shouted.
"He's an exorcist, so please step aside."
"Evictor? Keuk! Please stop lying." Please."
"See. Didn't the police receive an official letter to cooperate with exorcists in cases like this? Would you be responsible if something big happened? "
The police responded with a shy expression.
“Indeed the official document was accepted but everyone told me that and now, they are like this. Who else will be sent here? "
Kang-jun smiles.
"Don't worry. I will fix it . ”
"Who are you?"
Kim Hye-na replied.
"He is Lee Kang-jun, the silver-haired exorcist."
The police's eyes widened in surprise. People in the neighborhood also stare at Kang-jun in surprise.
