Episode 72 No.104 Black Squad (4)
Meanwhile, Koh Hyun-woo and Shin Byeong-cheol were moving along a narrow, dark passage.
This secret passage was created when Heuksabang was first built, but over time it gradually faded from memory.
And eventually, all of the leaders, including the previous Black Ark, were ‘replaced’ and it became a place that no one knew about.
I don’t know how Kim Ho found out, but it was a perfect infiltration route.
– Kookung!
A loud noise from afar traveled through the passageway, and dust and dirt fell.
“Brother Kim started it.”
“It’s noisy.”
Evidence that Kim Ho is causing a ruckus at the main gate.
This created an opportunity that made it easier to infiltrate, so we had to hurry to take advantage of that opportunity.
The two men quickened their pace.
The black room that we entered through the secret passage was extremely chaotic.
If some idiot blew up something that looked like a blaster at the main gate and it didn’t cause any confusion, it would be stranger.
– What! What’s going on?
– It’s towards the main gate!
– Fire! Put out the fire quickly!
The Black Death warriors who were running around busily didn’t react much even when they saw Go Hyeon-woo and Shin Byeong-cheol because they had already changed into the black martial arts uniforms they had taken earlier.
The snake tattoo on the back of the hand was roughly drawn by Shin Byeong-cheol.
Although the snake looked a bit awkward, Go Hyun-woo decided to be satisfied with this.
‘It’ll be better than Miss Seo… … .’
I think that if a calligrapher had drawn it, it would have been an earthworm, not a snake.
The secret location of the Black Death they were aiming for was deep underground.
So I walked in the opposite direction of the other warriors who were flocking to the main gate, and occasionally, people I passed by would look at me and ask, ‘Where are these guys going?’
Some even stopped for a moment to take a closer look at Koh Hyun-woo and Shin Byung-chul.
The two people’s faces looked completely unfamiliar.
Every time that happened, Shin Byeong-cheol would shout and point his sword at the main gate.
“Hey! Didn’t you hear? It’s the front gate, the front gate!”
After that, he quickly left the place, leaving behind the Heuksabang unmanned people who were tilting their heads.
Of course, such shallow tricks no longer worked once you got really underground.
Two men in black standing guard near the entrance.
Even in this chaos, he remains silent and unaffected.
Judging by their skills, they seem to be one to two orders of magnitude better than those they faced at the guest house.
He is probably an elite warrior of the Black Death Sect.
As Go Hyun-woo and Shin Byeong-cheol approached, one of the warriors stared at Go Hyun-woo for a moment and then drew his sword.
“You are an intruder.”
“… … .”
When Go Hyun-woo asked with a nod how he recognized him at a glance, the elite warrior answered.
“How many people have lost their heads after stepping foot in this place? How could they not know about this? Also… … .”
He continued speaking as if he was reluctant to admit it.
“… … I don’t remember seeing anyone who looks like a parasite brother like you.”
The expression “like a parasite brother”, when translated into men’s language, means that one is unlucky and handsome.
Shin Byeong-cheol’s face, who was listening to the conversation from the side, crumpled like a piece of tissue paper.
‘Fuck, life’s so unfair. You’re saying I got caught because I’m too handsome? Let me get caught too.’
But unfortunately, the sight of Shin Byeong-cheol in his black martial arts uniform was completely unnatural, and he was a perfect low-ranking Black Death warrior C.
While Shin Byeong-cheol cursed the world in his heart,
Go Hyun-woo smiled brightly and slowly walked forward.
“I am grateful that you compliment my appearance. However, I hope you understand.”
“what?”
– Flash!
At that moment, a golden flash of light appeared in Go Hyun-woo’s hand.
The elite warrior’s reaction was also unusual; he instantly raised his sword to block the blow, but soon his sword and I were split in two.
Before he knew it, Go Hyun-woo was holding a golden magic sword in his hand.
Go Hyun-woo finished his speech while looking down at his collapsing opponent.
“I have to cut you down.”
And then I turned my gaze towards Shin Byeong-cheol,
“Hey, hey! Help! Help! Quick!”
I am being pushed back by the tide and am taking constant steps backwards.
If he is skilled enough to be beaten by even a lowly warrior, how much more so must he be skilled at fighting elite warriors.
Go Hyun-woo had no choice but to join in and swing his sword.
He said playfully, leaving the fallen elite warrior behind.
“Shin Hyung, you must work even harder.”
“Well, that’s not wrong either, but honestly, this is because you guys are so strong as monsters.”
Wouldn’t it be weird for a first-year student to be running wild in a B-class dungeon?
Shin Byeong-cheol also had something to say.
“And I wasn’t called here to wield a sword, I was called here to be a technician? A high-level human resource.”
“I know. I have high expectations for you, Shin Hyung.”
Go Hyun-woo answered with a smile.
He also understood that each person had a different role.
The fact that Shin Byeong-cheol’s skills are quite outstanding in his field.
‘If he had the skills to just throw a spoon in the pot, Hyung Kim would have kicked him out long ago.’
That’s not why I participated in this operation.
It was like receiving Kim Ho’s guarantee.
Perhaps stimulated by the words “high expectations,” Shin Byeong-cheol took out a long chopstick-like tool and spun it around in his hand.
It looks like the organs are just waiting to come out.
“I’ll show you right away, just wait.”
The road to Bigo is a maze-like structure of various types of passageways.
There are passages where elite warriors are stationed and waiting, and there are also passages filled with machinery.
And in the strategy guide, it was mentioned that you should only focus on drilling into the areas where the organs are installed.
The hallway that unfolded before my eyes was a good example.
It looks clean on the outside, but a faint rustling noise can be detected beyond the wall.
High probability organ device.
The moment has finally come for Shin Byeong-cheol to step up.
Shin Byeong-cheol imitated the solemn tone of speech of the Heuksabang warrior.
“Watch carefully. This Shin Byeong-cheol in action.”
“haha…….”
Shin Byeong-cheol leaned against one wall and walked forward at a crawling pace. Then, out of nowhere, he stuck two chopsticks into a gap that was barely visible and stirred them around violently.
Soon, a distinct clicking sound was heard from inside, and the faint rumbling noise in my ears suddenly stopped.
“Are you done?”
“Okay. Let’s go.”
Shin Byeong-cheol walked forward, staggering forward.
Because he was suspicious of whether it was actually working on the outside, Go Hyun-woo prepared for the possibility that the organ device would be activated.
But the passage remained silent until the end.
Once again, a passageway that seems to be a trap appears,
This time, Shin Byeong-cheol calmly walked forward and then suddenly knelt down.
After tapping the floor in a few places, he gestures for Ko Hyun-woo.
“Step here.”
Go Hyun-woo placed one foot on the area that Shin Byeong-cheol was pointing at, and then used his thousand-foot technique to press down hard.
– Kwajik,
The feet sank, revealing a small space.
At first glance, something that looks like the center of the organization has been installed.
Shin Byeong-cheol nonchalantly stuck a chopstick in there and then stood up.
“Next. Let’s move on.”
After that, Shin Byeong-cheol easily rendered useless the traps that appeared one after another.
Go Hyun-woo expressed his admiration with honest feelings.
“The new type’s skill in handling organs is truly amazing.”
“Did you see it? Did you see it? People need to know how to use skills. You can’t do that by just swinging a sword.”
Shin Byeong-cheol starts bragging about all the knowledge he has.
Go Hyun-woo nodded with a kind expression and listened to the explanation.
Then, as if he sensed something, he raised his hand, interrupted the conversation, and gestured forward with his chin.
Beyond the corner of the curved passageway, three sounds of approaching were heard.
Go Hyun-woo spoke with his mouth shape, raising his spirits.
‘I’ll break through in one breath.’
As expected, three elite warriors appeared around the corner.
When they discovered Go Hyun-woo, they reacted the same way as the guards who had been standing guard earlier.
“intruder!”
Immediately, two of them drew their swords and rushed at me, while one of them turned his back and tried to escape.
To notify the presence of an intruder.
But when they reacted, Go Hyun-woo had already left.
[Rapid Current]
A sudden strong wind blew into the windless basement.
Go Hyun-woo was shot out in an instant as if he had become one with the strong wind.
The two elite warriors instinctively swung their swords, but Go Hyun-woo was faster than them.
The next moment, a deep sword wound appeared on their chest.
“100 million!”
“Ugh!”
And it pierced the back of the person running away at the speed it was shot at.
The series of events was so rapid that three bodies fell to the floor almost simultaneously.
Go Hyun-woo looked back at Shin Byeong-cheol and smiled faintly.
“Technology is good, but wouldn’t it be better to complement it with force?”
“… … Okay, let’s do that.”
It was Shin Byeong-cheol who regained his humility.
As we continued to advance, taking turns, we soon arrived at the secret place of Heuksabang.
To be exact, on one wall of the observation deck.
At the entrance, there would be guards with more skilled warriors than any I had ever met, so if I wanted to do my work quietly, I had no choice but to dig a hole.
“Brother Shin, please step back for a moment.”
As Shin Byeong-cheol stepped back to gain distance, Go Hyeon-woo gently slashed his sword several times.
A thick stone wall was cut away like a piece of tofu, revealing a single layer of wall made up of organ equipment.
Of course, this part was Shin Byeong-cheol’s responsibility.
As Shin Byeong-cheol signaled by sticking a few chopsticks in, Ko Hyeon-woo swung his sword again.
Only then did a large hole open in the wall, allowing the two to enter.
Indeed, the inside of the box was filled with precious and valuable items.
Gold and silver treasures, porcelain, famous swords, secret weapons, elixirs… … .
As he looked around here and there, Shin Byeong-cheol’s mouth started drooling.
“Ugh… … . If I were to sell just one of these, how much would it cost… … .”
But if you value your life, you should stop at drooling.
All the items have black talismans attached to them, which are specially made poison talismans using the martial arts of the Black Ark.
If you touch even one finger, the talismans will all emit poisonous smoke, and this small room will be filled with poisonous smoke in an instant.
If you are not fully prepared for a poison attack, it is best not to touch it.
And there is only one object in this room that does not have a talisman attached to it.
‘There it is.’
Go Hyun-woo sharpened his eyesight and examined every nook and cranny of the inside of the vault, and discovered a small chest hidden deep inside.
It was painted completely black, so I almost passed it by without noticing it.
It is so cleverly hidden that it seems as if the Black Ark of the day was passed by without a second thought and the talisman was not affixed.
[Black Chest of the Ark]
Shin Byeong-cheol received the box and shook it from side to side, but no sound was heard from inside.
Just as he was about to shake it more violently, Go Hyun-woo stopped him.
“Let’s hurry up and do it later. There’s no point in wasting time.”
“That’s true.”
Since the number of Black Sand Swords that were cut down while coming here is quite a lot, the probability of being detected increases as time passes.
So the two quickly went back the way they came.
Since the organ devices have already been disabled, the speed has picked up considerably.
If you leave the black room like this and move to a safe area, it’s over.
Shin Byeong-cheol was already losing his nerve and was talking nonsense.
“Hey, it’s really easy. Nothing weird comes out.”
“Brother Shin, don’t say dirty words.”
“Oh, yes. My beak is square.”
Shin Byeong-cheol playfully pretended to stuff a zipper in his mouth.
But words become seeds… … .
Soon, Go Hyun-woo, who had been leading the way, suddenly slowed down and stopped in place.
“Why, what is it again… … .”
Shin Byeong-cheol asked and then closed his mouth.
He discovered an old man standing at the end of Go Hyun-woo’s gaze.
The old man was dressed in white from head to toe.
The skin is pale with no trace of blood, and even the pupils of the eyes are pure white.
Normally, white should give a clean and neat feeling, but this old man had too much of it and it was creepy.
Go Hyun-woo knew who the old man with this peculiar appearance was from Kim Ho.
A heavy weight sank into his heart.
Go Hyun-woo sighed inwardly.
‘I thought we wouldn’t run into each other often, but things have turned out to be difficult… ‘
The old man looked down at the scars on the dead Heuksabangdo’s body, then raised his gaze and faced Go Hyeon-woo.
“Your workmanship is very neat. Did you do it?”
“Yes.”
After Go Hyun-woo honestly agreed, he politely asked back.
“Are you, sir, an elder of the Cheonmasin Church, senior Baek Hyuk-seo?”
When his real name was mentioned, a strange look flashed across the old man’s eyes, and he slowly nodded.
Baek Hyuk-seo. His true identity is the Vice-President of Heuksabang.
In the past, he was a senior master of the Demonic Cult and one of the Black and White Twin Masters.
“The old man is the white snake.”
Hidden boss, White Snake.
You will face the worst opponent you can encounter in the Black Desert raid.
