Kunguin Murim 12”?? Episode 299
“I guess we can start now.” It was about 10 minutes after the Peace Guild, led by Choi Min-woo, started protesting that the ok signal came from the head of the Seoul Central Association.
Gate is a fierce battlefield where life and death can be divided in an instant. In such a place, no one expected Jin Tae-kyung’s survival against the named monster with hundreds of skeleton troops.
“Would he have lived?”
“Exactly an hour and eight minutes have passed. It would be good if the body was recovered.”
“Nigimi. It’s not a rescue operation, it’s a corpse recovery operation.”
“Is it okay to do this? Every minute and every second is in a hurry, wasting time.”
“What can I do? It was not a normal A-level gate, but a named monster appeared. After all, I can understand the association’s position. It’s doomed on the day that even a major accident breaks out after rushing in.”
Hunters preparing to enter, reporters who were filming all the situations were talking in groups.
Some were outraged by the delayed rescue operation, while others defended the association’s decision.
However, no one mentioned Jin Tae-kyung’s survival. It’s because the law doesn’t wear quadrupeds on obvious facts.
“By the way, only the Peace Guild really bleed.” “I mean. He’s a parachute, so he cares ignorantly about the media.” Choi Min-woo’s face stiffened as he listened to the whispers around him.
The disadvantages that the Peace Guild will receive in the future?
I didn’t even care about that.
‘Who dies, who dies.’
I want to run away right now. I wanted to grab the people talking nonsense by the collar and take down the association hunters blocking my way.
Even so, the reason I waited until now was because of a word Deacon Kim gave me over ten minutes ago.
‘Didn’t the young master do that? They say he believes in Jin Tae-gyeong more than you, Master.’ At those words, she forced herself to calm her excitement.
right. He always performed miracles and made the impossible possible. Today is just an extension of that.
That’s how I believed and wanted to believe, ‘Isn’t that right? Jin Tae-kyung.’ Choi Min-woo took a deep breath and stepped forward. Fifty or so peace guild members followed him with determined faces.
“Our Peace Guild will take the lead.”
The head of the Seoul association replied with a kind look.
“That is my responsibility as the commander of this operation. But now your words and actions sound like notifications.”
“you’re right.”
“what? ，，”Shall I say it again? The notification was correct.” Before the president could say anything, Choi Min-woo’s cool voice continued.
“There is no reason to delay, no reason to mix things up. The leader is the Peace Guild.”
“Such cheeky… … ? It was at that moment that the association president’s face turned red.
“You do that.”
The president of the association turned his head at the incoherent voice from behind.
Where his gaze was directed, Lee Jeong-ryong’s right-hand man and security team leader Seok-jun Seok-jun stood with his arms crossed with an expressionless face.
“Suk team leader?”
“Please consider the feelings of the members of the Peace Guild who have lost a colleague who shared the joys and sorrows together. The media will also see it positively.”
“Ha, but there are named monsters inside the gate. If you put hunters whose skills have not been verified at the forefront, there may be a fire boss… … .”
The head of the association, who was about to continue, shut his mouth at Seok-jun Seok-jun’s dry eyes.
I forgot for a moment. The opponent was not the team leader of the Ares guild, but the bodyguard and right-hand man of Lee Jeong-ryong.
Also, the fact that what he wants is the ‘misfortune’ he is worried about.
The president’s concerns were short-lived.
“Peace Guild take the lead. And three minutes later, the Bon Association and the Ares Guild… But Choi Min-woo had already turned around and was walking toward the gate.
The president of the association, Seok-jun Seok-jun, and countless other people were staring at him, but he didn’t care.
“let’s go. To rescue Jin Tae-gyeong.” At Choi Min-woo’s low voice, a deafening shout rang through the hall.
Deacon Kim, Lim Kkeok-jeong, and Song Song-i. Then, about 50 peace guild members followed Min-woo Choi and proceeded toward the gate, cutting through hundreds of hunters like water.
It was then that a muffled cry erupted from Deacon Kim’s mouth.
“Everyone in the Peace Guild, prepare your attack formation!”
Cha-cha-cha!
The moving armor and blades glistened in the sunlight. Fifty or so members of the Peace Guild, who had transformed into a wedge formation in an instant, were shot like arrows.
At the forefront was Choi Min-woo, who jumped toward the magic field with a loud cry.
“enter! ，， Shoot!
Had there ever been a time when the magic power of the gate felt unpleasant today?
Choi Min-woo opened his eyes feeling an ominous wriggling in a corner of his chest. He and he sat down without realizing it, his heart sinking.
,This… … scorched earth.
Could there be a better word to describe the scene unfolding before your eyes?
The trail overlooking from the hill where the gate entrance was located was completely engulfed in flames.
‘Jin Tae-kyung.’ It feels like the ominous feeling I felt when passing through the gate is slowly taking shape.
Behind him, Lim Kkeok-jeong said in a trembling voice.
“Chief Choi. Maybe Taekyung… …
“Stop. The operation is currently underway. Personal hasty judgments are prohibited.” However, this time, Choi’s words did not instill strength.
The situation seemed hopeless, and not only Lim Kkeok-jeong, but all members of the Peace Guild were shaken.
‘no. It can’t be’
Choi Min-woo, biting his lips as if to reconcile himself, took a heavy step forward.
“Keep approaching. Stay vigilant and move forward.”
They moved forward cautiously, preparing for the next wave of monsters.
However, the closer they got to the trail, the more desperate the members of the Peace Guild felt.
“Unbelievable.”
Mountains of broken bones and weapons. Ashes covered the scorched earth.
No trace of life could be found anywhere in the place where only death and destruction overflowed. Neither did the one person they were hoping to find.
‘Dead? Is that person?’ One duty that passed through everyone’s mind The longer the person who had known Jin Tae-kyung, the more they blinked blankly at this unbelievable reality.
Deacon Kim’s words heard in the suffocating silence were like the doctor’s final sentence.
“The result of using detection magic… … No movement or life was found within a radius of 300 meters.”
Choi Min-woo’s eyelids trembled.
“That word… …
“sorry.”
Deacon Kim answered with a miserable face and stretched out his hand. From the direction of his fingertips, something floated up and flew slowly.
“that… …
“It looks like a trace of a named monster, judging from the fact that it has considerable magic power.”
In Deacon Kim’s hand, it was a piece of metal the size of the palm of his hand.
A black gloss that does not lose its luster even when covered with ashes. When the skull pattern, which was terrifying just by looking at it, was revealed, some breathed in vain.
“Skull patterns! Yes, this is the armor the named monster was wearing!”
“you’re right! We saw it clearly.”
Then someone who was looking around shouted like a scream.
“Here’s a dagger too! It’s not equipment used by skeletons!” “This is Jin Tae-kyung’s stuff. It’s the one I used often.” In the atmosphere of shock, Deacon Kim opened his mouth in a subdued voice.
“It seems to be oxidized. With all enemies including named monsters… … The air surrounding the trail pierced.
Now everything is clear. Jin Tae-gyeong is dead. He gave up his own life and made his enemies companions in the underworld and left their side.
It was Lim Kkeok-jeong’s cry that broke the silence that seemed to never end.
“Oh. Hehehe!”
The small tremor that started in the hands went up to the arms, shoulders, and back, and soon spread to the whole body. Tears poured out of Lim Kkeok-jeong’s big eyes.
“Taekyung, Taekyung… … Hehehe!”
No one laughed at him as he sobbed and shook his head.
Even though the amount of sadness they felt was different, everyone in this place had the same heart.
The sadness of Jin Tae-gyeong’s death and the guilt of not being able to fight together. and helplessness of oneself.
The eyes of the peace guild members were bloodshot red, and tears flowed down the cheeks of Deacon Kim and Song-i Song. Only one person did not cry, Min-woo Choi.
‘dead. Jin Tae-kyung.’
With dark eyes he looked around the trail, where acrid smoke still rose.
It seems as if he is hiding somewhere and pops out like a surprise box.
‘I thought you would survive in any situation.’ Suddenly, my heart felt full. It was the first time since her parents left.
It was the time when the sadness that had inflated like a balloon became tight as if it would burst at any moment.
“Huh, that’s miserable.”
“Jin Tae-gyeong is nowhere to be seen. It looks dead after all.”
Choi Min-woo, who slowly turned around, saw hundreds of people who had just entered the trail.
There were two people at the forefront of the association and the hunters who participated in the rescue operation.
“Anyway, the structure seems to be wrong. Isn’t that right, President?”
“I mean, everything is reduced to ashes, so I wonder if I can find the original corpse. Aside from that, where are the named monsters?”
“We will have to conduct a detailed search, but according to the results of the detection magic, it seems that all of the problems the president is concerned about have been resolved.”
The head of the Association, who had been frowning at Seok-Jun Seok-Jun’s words, widened.
“Oh, that’s good news from what I’ve been hearing. I was wondering if there will be another casualty.” “Thanks to the president’s judgment, we were able to reduce the number of sacrifices.” “What are you talking about? This is all thanks to the Ares guild.
If the work is well done, I will definitely give you a plaque of appreciation. haha. This is the first achievement of my tenure, so I’m planning to hold a big event… … Guild leader Lee Jeong-ryong will also come at that time, right?” “You are not the guild leader, but the deputy guild leader.” “Oh, yes. It’s true, maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but I’m forgetful these days.” A dry smile appeared on Seok-jun’s lips.
“It is possible, and when the plaque of appreciation is presented, the deputy guild leader will be happy to attend.” “It’ll be a long time since I’ve seen you, Team Leader Seok, please talk to me.” “I would be very happy if I could just tell you what I saw and heard.” “haha.” The conversation between Seok-jun Seok-jun and the president of the association was a sharp needle. A needle that can burst Choi Min-woo’s emotions that have expanded like a balloon.
“Shut that snout.”
a ! n All noise stopped.
Realizing what he had heard belatedly, the president of the association twisted his expression. However, Seok-jun Seok-jun was one step ahead of him.
“You’d better watch your mouth.”
“The muzzle told me to shut up.”
“Your young friend doesn’t know manners. Don’t you think so? Peace Guild leader Choi Min-woo.”
It was a bone horse.
For Seok-Jun Seok-Jun, Min-Woo Choi was a loose kite. The Ares Guild established by his grandfather had already been in Lee Jeong-ryong’s hands, and Jin Tae-kyung, who was a person of interest, was dead, so he did not have to hide his teeth.
“I understand that your emotions are running high over the death of your guild member, but you need to calm down.”
Choi Min-woo muttered as if chewing.
“I could have lived if you guys didn’t waste time.” “We did our best. The association president’s judgment was right, and… Seok-jun Seok-jun continued with a dry voice.
“You are also responsible. Isn’t it?”
“ ！ M “Where and what did you do when Jin Tae-kyung died? Did you casually read the newspaper in the office or at a bar during the day?” Choi Min-woo bit his lip. Everything Seok-jun Seok-jun said was true.
Because I believed in Jin Tae-gyeong, I left everything behind and immersed myself in training.
however… … At least, that wasn’t the case for himself.
The needle flew into him, who could not easily open his mouth.
“You killed Jin Tae-kyung. All of you who forgot your duty because you were weak were killed.”
Seo Seok-jun laughed.
“Even if I regret it, it’s too late. The dead don’t come back.”
It was at that moment when Choi Min-woo clenched his fists.
“What is he saying now. 이 개썅노무새끼가.”
A low but powerful voice pierced everyone’s ears.
Those who did not know the voice were bewildered by the sudden swearing, and those who felt familiar with it were frozen like stone statues.
,no way… … As Choi Min-woo slowly turned his head, a person caught his eye as he trudged along the trail in the distance.
“I finished up to 49 while I was peeing, you bastard.” Jin Tae-gyeong spat out phlegm.
“Just about. It’s a dog. ” Big sign Moorim 口? 30051 – Black Forest of Warlocks. No, now it should be called the Black Forest of the Skeleton Warlord.
Anyway, this gloomy forest was filthy wide and complicated. If it wasn’t for Warlord looking down at the inside of the gate like the palm of his hand, he would have lost his way along the way.
– I thought you were evil, but you’re a stupid person. What would I have done without this body?
“So, where are you going from here?” – Turn right after a hundred steps.
“… … How does this bastard know the word turn right?” One good warlord, ten navigations I’m not envious of.
Wedge love!
I followed the Warlord’s directions and fired at blinding speed.
Perhaps it was thanks to half of the energy gained in the process of praying for team leader Choi, even though he practiced the new method with all his might, his energy continued to well up like an inexhaustible spring.
‘As expected, more and more.’
