Chapters Chapter 225: Stories of Old (pt. 1) (1/2)

“This is the worst.”

After looking at the picture once more, Kang Chul-In’s expression stiffened.

The picture looked absolutely disgusting, with the cocoon filled with all sorts of creepy crawling bugs.

“So, are these bugs that you know?”

“No.”

At Dorian’s question, Kang Chul-In shook his head.

“I haven’t seen these disgusting things before either.”

“Hmm…”

“Well, did you investigate this case afterwards?”

“Hmm, there wasn’t really much to investigate anyway. It’s not like they had any special powers. They just smelled bad. But…”

“...?”

“I actually took out these bugs…”

“What a useless…”

Just as Kang Chul-In was about to criticize Dorian, the next picture he saw made him close his mouth.

“The shape… of a human?”

“Right? It looks as if a human was inside there, right?”

Kang Chul-In shook his head.

“But there’s no way that a human could go inside a cocoon like that.”

“Hmm… That’s true too. Maybe a human-shaped monster then? Or a demon? That’s what I think.”

“Well, that does make sense. So, what happened after? I’m sure that someone like you wouldn’t have stopped just there, with your curiosity.”

“Hehe~! Kang Chul-In, you know me too well.”

After shrugging his shoulders, Dorian continued.

“So basically, I chased the tracks along with Podolski. After all, the heat in the cocoon suggested that the thing had only come out recently.”

“And the result?”

“Well, I found its tracks after chasing it for around 30 minutes, and after 10 more minutes, I could finally see its behind. It was like 2 kilometres away from me at that time.”

“You’re saying this because you couldn’t catch him, right?”

“Yeah, even though I don’t know what it was… It was extremely fast. Almost as fast as you, I think.”

“...?”

“To be completely honest, he seemed faster than you with your second phase Overdrive.”

Even though this was somewhat hard to believe, Kang Chul-In still believed what Dorian said.

---------

At the same time.

“Ha… ha…”

The unknown existence that had run away from Dorian stopped.

Under the moonlight, its appearance was extremely hideous.

Its black skin seemed like that of an insect’s, and pus was flowing from between its muscles.

There were also a combination of colors in its eyes, making it seem like that of a fly’s.

And,

Crawl…

With insects like centipedes and worms crawling in its eyes, ears, and mouth, it looked truly like the most disgusting existence in all of Pangaea and Earth.

“Who is it!?”

At that moment.

“What is it!?”

“Is it a monster?”

“Everyone, ready for battle!’

Some adventurers who were passing by this place by chance stopped after looking at it, and got ready for battle.

“Oi, you.”

One of the adventurers started to cautiously walk towards it, and spoke.

“Show your...”

At that moment,
