MEMORIZE Chapter 444

00444 Hatred, and conflict. ————————————————– ———————-=

With this, we entered the third gate of the mountain range where the dragon sleeps, the ‘Land of Hatred’. If you just cross this area and the next area, you will reach a place with ruins, so you can see that you are more than halfway there. Of course, exploring the interior of the ruins is out of the question.

“Uhm… .”

“Hmm, hmm!”

Has it been just 5 minutes since I came to the right fork? However, uncomfortable tones are already starting to come out of the clan members’ mouths. I know why. This was due to the field effect ‘Hate’ in this area.

According to Vivien’s words, the field effect of the mountain range where the dragon sleeps can be considered a slightly special case.

A terrifying resentment born from a combination of the hatred of countless ancient residents and the curse of Magna Carta, the ‘Dragon of the Apocalypse’. This would have deepened over incalculable time, resulting in an effect encompassing such a vast area.

Certainly, hatred that has existed for thousands of years is not something to be trifled with. From user information to equipment worn, I was covered in several layers of magic resistance. But despite this, I felt a slight seed of hatred settling in my heart as the bitter resentment permeated my whole body.

It’s not that there are no countermeasures. Even now, you can take Jeongsimdan or use Hangyeol’s defense ability.

However, Jeongsimdan had to be saved in preparation for the fourth gateway, and Hangyeol was not in a normal condition at the moment. In other words, the best option for now was to quickly pass by this area.

Anyway, this is the same for me, but what about the status of other clan members? Even if you didn’t watch it, it was a video. It would be better if there was anti-magic power, but… . By now, you are probably busy trying to control yourself from the hatred that is surging in your heart for no reason.

Thinking that I should pay attention to not only the deceased but also the condition of my clan members, I calmly walked down the mountain path.

“Clan Lord! for a moment!”

When an additional 5 minutes passed, Shin Jae-ryong’s shout was heard. I immediately raised my hand and signaled to stop. And when I looked back, I could see Hangyeol slowly approaching. His face looked very anxious as he looked around with suspicious eyes.

“Hangyeol. why?”

“older brother… . “I think it’s around here.”

“Around here?”

“yes. I don’t remember the details, but I think I definitely passed this road. and… .”

Hangyeol paused for a moment and quickly turned his head to look left and right alternately. It looks like he’s probably trying to remember the situation at that time.

‘Without going too deep… . She said she went in for about 10 minutes?’

I took three or four steps forward and activated my third eye. It had only been 10 minutes since we entered the ‘Land of Hate’. Considering that there is a slight error… . Although he said he didn’t remember the details, Hangyeol remembers more details than he thought.

As far as my eyes could see, I looked down from the front. And right away, I was able to see that Hangyeol’s memory was accurate. This is because faint traces were left here and there, centered on the place where we were standing now.

‘I need to know what happened here.’

Coincidentally, I saw one right in front of me, so I knelt down and started analyzing the traces.

All the bushes growing on the mountain range are gently curved forward. However, the part I’m looking at is either bent in the opposite direction or torn in places.

And in the downward direction, the ground a little away from the end of the trail is hollow. If so, it means that someone was dragging their feet backwards and fell on their butt.

I raised my gaze to where there were other traces. This time it is a long mark. It was as if the tire of an accelerating car had swept over the area, and the soil on the marked ground was dark red. As if it contained blood.

‘Perhaps the dead man has appeared. And the battle… . No, it’s not a battle. ‘You were too busy running away, unable to resist, let alone fight.’

“Ugh!”

Anyway, as I was about to look a little further, someone let out a loud moan. I looked right back and saw Hangyeol lying on the ground, holding his head as if it was going to be crushed.

As I approached through the hastily gathered clan members, Hangyeol barely looked up at me. Then she opened her mouth with great difficulty, frowning greatly.

“Tongue, brother. Yes, that’s right. “I remembered.”

I nodded my head to tell him to speak quickly. However, Hangyeol only moved his neck and continued to move his lips. I want to say something, but I can’t seem to organize it. I waited patiently.

And after a while, I was finally able to see Hangyeol begin to speak.

“therefore… . Coming to a crossroads… . Come in… . Suddenly they started fighting with each other… .”

‘I came to a crossroads. Arrived at this place. The clients started fighting with each other.’

Most likely, the reason the clients fought with each other was because of the field effect. The hatred that soared for no reason must have irritated their nerves.

Hangyeol was speaking quite intermittently, but I did not ask for a detailed explanation. This is because I was able to understand the general situation just by listening to it like this.

“pop… .”

“?”

“pop… . that’s right. There was a popping sound from somewhere. And although it was only for a moment, her eyes became white before her eyes.”

“pop… . “I heard a sound, and my vision turned bright white?”

But I couldn’t understand this, so I had no choice but to ask it back without realizing it.

I tilted my head. The mountain range where the dragon sleeps is originally a very quiet area. If you walk without saying anything, the only sound you hear is the sound of grass grazing past you.

But an explosion of sound erupted from somewhere? Of course it could be so. If there was a fierce battle with the deceased, some user may have memorized magic. However, among the traces I checked earlier, instead of an intense battle, I only found traces of him faltering and running away.

“Did you ever fight with the dead?”

“Oh, no. “Until then, the deceased was nowhere to be seen.”

“… then?”

“just… . When I opened my eyes again, everything was quiet. Nothing has changed, but it’s just like now… . uh… ?”

However, the moment I heard that there was no battle with the dead, my eyes naturally narrowed.

The mountain range where the dragon sleeps consists of a total of four gates, and a dead person appears at each gate. However, the reason why users divided each region and named them gateways is because the ‘way’ the dead appear in each region is completely different.

In other words, the dead people who appear in ‘The Land of Hate’ are different from the dead people who appear at the beginning or in the ‘Land of Wandering’. Rather than being crowded together as objects like we experienced before, they appear as a mass of dozens or hundreds of them all united into one entity. In other words, he is the person closest to the dead.

Anyway, to put it in one word, the dead people that appear in the ‘Land of Hatred’ do not use magic.

Not Ahn Hyun and Han Gyeol, not the client, not the deceased. So who is responsible for binge drinking? As my doubts grew, I stopped thinking and looked down at Hangyeol.

however.

“ah… .”

Hangyeol had already stopped talking. no. She didn’t shut her mouth. Her lips were slightly parted and she was just staring at me with blank eyes.

Now that I think about it, when I was slurring my words earlier, it seemed like the ending was subtly raised… . Anyway, I don’t know what he was thinking, but he seemed to suddenly realize something.

“Hangyeol. what’s the matter?”

“that’s right… . Just like now… .”

Just like now? Words that don’t make sense.

“Like the calm before the storm… . Everything became quiet… .”

However, Hangyeol was still muttering to himself with a blank expression on his face. Then, he suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky, then slowly lowered his eyes again and made eye contact. And I was able to read the fear of something in Hangyul’s eyes.

Finally, Hangyeol opened his mouth in a trembling but exhaling voice.

“Well, they suddenly appeared… !”

And, it was that moment.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… .

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… .

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… .

Coo-coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo.

Coo-coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo.

Coo-coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo.

The moment Hangyeol finished speaking, the earth began to shake with a long, drawn-out sound from somewhere. I instinctively recognized that it was a dead person appearing in the ‘Land of Hatred’.

Heo Jun-young glanced ahead sharply for a moment, put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and said.

“Northwest, north, northeast. It’s coming from three directions. The distance is 45 meters… . no. Just passed 40 meters. I’m not sure about the number. “There are just a ton of them.”

“There are three guys. Everyone prepare for battle!”

When I dismissed it as just three guys, I felt Heo Jun-young’s questioning gaze. But I don’t have time to explain them all. Since they can shrink 5 meters in just a few seconds, it won’t take much time to reach this place.

“Clan Lord! If it’s the three of them, it’s a step-up again… ?”

Soon, Woo Jeong-min’s voice flowed among the clan members who were hastily preparing for battle. I was lost in thought as I took out the Sun and Moon God Sword.

The deceased who appears in ‘The Land of Hatred’ can be described in one word as ‘a lump of resentment’. It’s good to have a small number, but you can’t be completely reassured. Until all the accumulated resentment is extinguished, they move continuously.

‘then… .’

“This time, we won’t be dealing with floor-to-ceiling. We will divide into three groups and each group will take on one person, and Nam Da-eun and I will each take on one person.”

It was a calculation I made thinking that Nam Da-eun would be enough to back me up.

Next, I immediately organized groups to fight individually.

“Cha So-rim as leader, Seon Yu-woon, Kim Han-byeol, An Sol, and Woo Jeong-min come in from the northwest. And with Heo Jun-young as the team leader, Im Hanna, Vivian, Shin Jae-ryong, and Yu-jeong Lee are in charge of the guy coming from the northeast. And Hangyeol… .”

Hangyeol, perhaps thinking that Hyunjae was of no help, suddenly got up and took a step back. And the clan members immediately formed groups as I designated and moved to their respective positions.

I quietly gave instructions to Nam Da-eun, who came next to me.

“Nam Da-eun. Never overdo it, just wait around and look for an opportunity. “I will create a situation somehow, so if you feel like you have the opportunity, please cut me wide vertically.”

“Vertically?”

“yes. Judging from the loud shaking of the earth, it appears to be quite a large creature. “He would rather be slashed than stabbed.”

“Hmm~. all right. “Leave it to me.”

Nam Da-eun nudged Seol-ah and answered while squinting one eye.

“Miss Ansol! “Please give my weapon Holy Striking!”

“───. ───. ───.”

“15 meters remaining distance! Im Hannah! “Punch me as soon as you see me!”

“Hehe. “At times like this, don’t speak informally.”

Eventually, as I listened to the shouts of each group’s leaders and members, I remembered Hangyeol’s words so as not to forget them.

‘There was a popping sound, the vision turned white, suddenly became quiet, and the dead people appeared.’

There are more than one or two strange things. I felt like the suspicion I felt when the dragon first entered the mountains was amplified in an instant.

Coo thump!

Coo thump!

Coo thump!

But I put the thought aside for now. There was still insufficient information to draw a conclusion right away, and more than anything, I felt that the tremors of the earth had become noticeably stronger.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… !

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… !

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… !

And as expected, three dead people appeared simultaneously from three directions.

I opened my mouth quietly.

“User Nam Da-eun. please.”

Eventually, I unleashed my magic power and ran like the wind.

*

“Khahahahahaha!”

A loud laugh rang out from the dark room.

The identity of the human spirit with protruding horns on its head and bloated body was Asmodeus, the ‘devil of lust’ and one of the seven great demons.

“What Satan said was true, it was true!”

Asmodeus was so happy about nothing that he laughed so loudly that he hit the chair. He looked like a child who had been given candy, so excited that he didn’t know what to do.

Did you gain a little courage from seeing that? The demon lying down in front of Asmodeus carefully raised its head and looked at its owner.

“Lord, my lord. then… .”

“huh? Why do you do that? “My lovely creation!”

“Are you going to accept Satan’s offer?”

“then! I have to do it! Since what Satan said turns out to be true, there’s no reason not to do it, right?”

“but… .”

“but?”

When Asmodeus got up, the demon immediately lowered his head. How dare you criticize your lord’s words. This was impossible for demons who were merely creatures of the devil.

However, Asmodeus came down with a completely unconcerned face and instead patted the prone demon.

“I know, I know. If you’ve heard rumors about Satan, you’d probably be a bit worried. He must have a purpose… . But hey, this is an investment. invest. “He even revealed it to me in advance.”

“that… . Is that so?”

“okay. All you have to do is take Satan’s side at the next meeting. And in this situation, it’s not a bad idea to form an alliance. hmm. good. very good. “It’s good for Satan, and I kill two birds with one stone.”

“Chu, congratulations.”

Asmodeus exhaled loudly, probably out of breath from laughing so hard. Then he looked around with a sad expression on his face and started walking quickly.

“ah. This is not the time. I guess I should start working right now. As Satan said, this will be a groundbreaking attempt. “An attempt with a 100% chance of success.”

“If you tell me, I will prepare it.”

“Tsk tsk! are you okay. I have to do it this time. “Humans are not the target this time.”

“yes?”

In response to the demon’s question, Asmodeus stopped in front of the door. Then he grinned and spoke in a low but excited voice.

“This target is… . “Because it’s a dead dragon!”

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

For now, the hatred and conflict episode will end in the next episode. And since we have left the Jeongsimdan, we plan to condense the fourth gateway into one episode as much as possible, and then only the ruins remain. Exploring the ruins… . Someone good is helping you somewhere, so it won’t eat up as much as you think. ha ha ha. You’ll know what I mean when you see it. 😀

Additional user information has been provided by several users, but for now, Han So-young, Kim Yu-hyeon, Cha So-rim, and Seonyul have been selected. Are there any other characters you are curious about?

ah. And votes are still being accepted. The second round of voting will begin after the completion of the Dragon’s Sleeping Mountain Range (I personally have a character I want to push, humheum), and I will select the top 6 by counting only the comments made in episode 443.

Well then, have a nice day everyone. 🙂
