Chapter 293 Poseidon (5) (1/2)

Team: HH, thursdays, Yahiko (10/12)

“I heard the Hoarder arrived right under our noses. What are you planning to do now? I don’t think our defense will work.”

Elaine smiled faintly and looked at Jinrang. Jinrang thought this as he looked at her.

‘Crazy b***.’

Her little twin brother had died. And his enemy was coming. However, she just looked amused, not mad in the slightest. He had felt this before, but Elaine had a few screws loose.

She had been like this many times in the past.

Even when they were under Lana, he never knew what she was thinking. It wasn’t like she had deep thoughts or schemes. In any situation, she always chose the more amusing path. She was really crazed for excitement.

When they caused the coup in the past, she joined hands with Triton, thinking that it would be more fun than being with Lana. Her motive was more nonsensical than Ted’s plan to steal Benteke’s spot after he joined.

And it seemed like she still had the same crazy mindset.

It was a way of thinking that the logical Jinrang didn’t even want to try to understand or have close to him.

But what could he do?

He had expected Ted to attack Yeon-woo and run away, but Ted had been killed so futilely.

‘Was there something the Hoarder has been hiding all this time?’

But it was impossible.

He had hid some of his powers on the complex battlefield with Benteke, Waltz’s Primeval Body, Duke Ardbad, the Fantasy Regiment.

Even though the Hoarder was a mysterious monster, this was hard to understand with logic.

‘Or did he become stronger during that short time since the fight…..? No way.’

However, Jinrang thought that it was the former that made more sense than the latter.

And if the former was the truth,

‘We have to kill him using any means possible this time.’

The growth rate of the Hoarder was threatening enough to make the people looking at him shiver.

If he became that much stronger with just one fight, it meant that his talent was on a different level from the beginning. The longer such a dangerous variable was left alone, the more dangerous it was to the clan.

However, the problem was that…..

‘It’s not easy to stop him.’

Jinrang pressed his throbbing temples and took a look behind him.

The large iron door was shut tightly. The door was decorated with the image of a tornado-inducing trident and all kinds of monsters, and it demonstrated Poseidon’s might.

That iron door had been shut for several days.

“So. When’s Captain coming out?”

Jinrang shook his head.

“I don’t know.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Exactly what I said. I thought it would end in a few days….. but I think his recovery is slower than expected.”

“So you weren’t able to tell him about the outside situation either?”

Jinrang nodded his head silently.

Elaine had a disbelieving face and snorted.

“It’s hard to find such a person dedicated to Captain like you. Right? If you don’t want to bother him, I’ll tell him.”

Elaine swept past Jinrang and approached the iron door. Jinrang didn’t stop her. He knew that it was a futile attempt anyway.

And like he expected, Elaine wasn’t able to approach the iron door.

Beyond the iron door, something large was bundled up. It was a sticky but condensed power. Something incredible that dominated its surroundings and made you feel like you had to bow was squirming. It seemed like a monster but also like the god they served.

The closer she approached the iron door, the greater the unidentifiable power became, and Elaine had to pause and look at Jinrang.

She felt anxious, like she was going to have everything she had stolen from her.

Her face that always had a faint look was filled with shock for the first time.

So that crazy b**** could make that face too. Jinrang snorted.

“It’s clear Captain is preparing for something. He might be communicating with Poseidon right now.”

“Communicating? This is communicating…..?”

“Anyways, until Captain comes out of his own volition, it’s forbidden to approach the door. No, I suggest that you don’t. Unless you want to be drained of all your holy power.”

Elaine moved away a few steps from the door and caught her breath. Although her face was filled with shock, her eyes were filled with glee. Jinrang felt like crying seeing her.

“Hmm. Then? What about those trespassers? You want to stop them ourselves? I don’t think it’s just the Hoarder that’s the problem anymore.”

She was talking about the rat-like bastards who were following Yeon-woo. Creutz, Faceless, and Doctor Doom. They were all bastards she wanted to get rid of at once.

But if used right, this could be a chance to get rid of all the nuisances bothering Triton.

“You and I have to get rid of them. However we can.”

“Are you saying you need my hand?”

“Right now, I’ll take anyone’s help.”

“Sheesh, you can be honest at times like this. The hand that you’re trying to hold isn’t just anyone’s hand.”

Above Elaine’s eyes, tens of new eyes opened. The multiple eyes that caused anyone who looked at them to be disgusted reflected Jinrang’s face.

Yeon-woo lifted his head.

Far away, he could see a colossal castle built along the seashore.

The castle looked like many different things. It looked like ruins, a fortress, or even a temple.

However, Yeon-woo could feel it.

Benteke was there. With something huge.

‘What is he doing?’

For some time now, he couldn’t connect with the Monster Portents in his shadow.

It wasn’t that Benteke had found them and gotten rid of them. The connection was just naturally cut off. Like it was blocked by something in the middle. He couldn’t feel beyond it.

Yeon-woo felt like he knew what it was.

‘A god’s barrier.’

The land that gods and demons lived in to use their power properly was called holy land or holy territory. A god’s barrier was the fence around it.

It was similar to what he felt in the temple of the Three Norns on the 16th floor.

‘Especially when the goddess Urd descended. Did Poseidon come down?’

But Yeon-woo thought something was weird.
