Chapter 158 - The White Ghost King’s Sanctuary 3 (2/2)
If one zone was conquered, it was an ancient D-class monster.
C-class for two zones, and B-class for three.
However, the monster of the abyss had considerable power even at B-class.
Even if they found themselves in an unfavorable situation, they could overturn the game.
As she finally saw the light of hope, Lutia shed tears of happiness.
“Oh, Lord Wraith! Please save me from this crisis!”
She had no idea where Area-A was located.
However, she was trying to grab at straws.
She cried out for help to the Wraith.
After some time...
Boom!
Boom!
The ground shook, and heavy footsteps resounded from somewhere.
The ancient-grade monster had appeared.
“This is troublesome. We have to fight the monster even though we haven't found the Wraith yet.”
“If he occupies other areas, won’t this become disadvantageous for us? Shouldn't we quickly kill that bitch and stop the Wraith?”
Levian's and Lamia's complexions rapidly deteriorated.
Since Levian had the Priest role, he had to kill the Wraith and the Fanatic.
Meanwhile, even though she was neutral, Lamia still found it difficult to join forces with the Wraith as she had yet to see his face.
As the atmosphere quickly turned dark, Lutia used this opportunity and quickly began to run towards a corridor.
”Huh? That bitch is escaping!”
“Let’s kill the Fanatic first, my friends!”
Levian and Lamia eagerly pursued Lutia.
If she were to slip between their fingers like this, they would be extremely upset.
Nevertheless, Woohyuk stood behind on his own, and Lamia turned his head to rebuke him.
”What are you doing? This is a survival game we have to win!”
“I leave Lutia in your care. I’ll get rid of the Wraith.”
It would be inefficient to have all three of them chase after the Fanatic.
After watching Levian and Lamia leave, Woohyuk focused his attention on the footsteps that were getting closer.
'First, I’ll have to deal with that guy.'
If it was an ancient-grade monster, it would be enough to leave it to his undeads.
He wouldn’t have to get involved in the fight.
As Woohyuk summoned suitable undeads considering the space available in the labyrinth,
“Kiyaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!”
With a bizarre cry, a huge beast popped out from the other side of the corridor.
It was a beast-type monster with the head of a hawk.
Its name was Hierakos.
“Get rid of that monster.”
When Woohyuk gave the order, the elite undead led his troops and rushed toward Hierakos.
In the midst of the battle, a shadow appeared from the passage behind Woohyuk.
Woohyuk waited for the shadow to creep closer to him and then swung Grandia in a surprise attack.
Swooosh!
“Ugh!”
The other person groaned and instinctively twisted his body to avoid the blade.
However, Woohyuk's movements were a lot faster, so he suffered a fatal wound to his right shoulder.
“Attempting to assassinate me using the secret passage wasn’t a bad idea. However, it’s foolish to attack your opponent without knowing his powers and skills.”
“… What the hell are you? How do you know about the secret passage?”
His opponent was a blond man wearing an adventurer's watch.
Since he had reached this stage, he was probably Ivanov's vassal, just like Lamia.
Woohyuk decided to tell the truth to provoke him more.
“Me? For now, I’ll say that I’m the person who beheaded Dragonlord Ivanov in the first stage.
“...That’s impossible. Lord Ivanov couldn't have been defeated by someone like you.”
“Can't believe me? Then let me show you evidence.”
Woohyuk summoned Carnelian to his side.
The blond man’s eyes widened and he stood there flabbergasted.
“This can’t be…”
“Who is your owner now, Carnelian?”
“…It is Lord Asura.”
Carnelian bowed his head meekly.
She could be summoned as she was treated as a pet by the system.
Dragons that hatched from the eggs given by Adakar were bound to their owners.
It was difficult to use the word “tamed” in these cases, however.
The blond man knew this fact, so he tried to persuade Carnelian.
“Carnelian! It will do you no good to serve that man as your master! He's already being targeted by the demon kings! So help me take revenge for Lord Ivanov!”
“…No. I will not suffer by the hands of men like you any longer.”
Carnelian recalled everything she had been through.
Compared to Ivanov and his vassals, Woohyuk was like an angel.
Although she felt reluctant as he held demonic energy, she was tired of being abused and needed someone to depend on.
When Carnelian hid behind Woohyuk’s back, the blond man made a desperate face.
“Fuck… What am I supposed to do now...”
“Any last words, Wraith?”
Woohyuk unsummoned Carnelian and walked towards his opponent.
