Chapter 80 (2/2)

“No. If we open the door, that monster will get out. I’m sure it’s in the vicinity.”

Chun Myung Ik thought that they were alive as part of its tricks. It is leaving them alive to get all of them at the same time once the door is open.

“You abandoned your guild members and closed the door, right?”

Chun Myung Ik shook. He could not deny it right away.

“I just said it to see, but I guess I was right. Asshole!”

Park Jin Hyuk is cursing at Chun Myung Ik. He did not like him to being with, so he might as well swear all he wants now. Cha Jun Sung and the Koharu sisters did not stop him either.

“You’re not going to open it?”

“Why should I?”

“You’re dumb, right? Our summons area was inside. If the mutant is here, would the helpers have summoned us here? They did it because it’s not inside.”

Chun Myung Ik did not understand what Park Jin Hyuk was saying for a moment. But he quickly understood. With his head? No, it was with his body. It was not by will but compulsory.

***

Wind leaks out. Shivers run down their spines. Their backs become wet with sweat. How are they hearing it so close? Shouldn’t they be hearing it from the other side of the door?

A different voice sounds from the inability to protest.

Chun Myung Ik’s eyes roll around. The other 8 guild members also show anxiety and look around their surroundings. It looks like closing the door had only been a makeshift barrier.

When they first discovered that it is a Black Ghost, a few of the guild members had been confident that they had a strategy with which to take it on. They said that because it is specialized in darkness, it will be averse to light.

They had thrown a photothermal bomb because they figured light would excite it and make it come at them.

It is correct that they do not like the light. It is also correct that it will excite them. They were wrong that it would come at them. Black Ghosts quickly hide their bodies when they are exposed to light.

Then it appeared when the photothermal bomb’s effect disappeared. They repeated throwing the bomb and having it disappear to reappear a few times. The amount of bombs they had kept decreasing.

They need to throw 5 or 6 to light up the entire space. There are so many places to hide, so it just kept retreating where it needed to wherever the light struck.

Photothermal bombs are a necessity, but they do not pack as many of them as they do bombs. When they finally realized that they were down by a lot, they were almost all out.

That is when it started to make the sound of wind seeping out and attacked. It covers a few bullets with a sturdy coat. Even if it penetrated, it got caught in the muscle and could not use its strength.

There are missions where attacks from the virtual work and there are missions where it does not. Chun Myung Ik had been unlucky and got caught with the latter. It is a dire error.

Again. The Black Ghost they had encountered until now attacked as soon as it let out the sound of wind.

It is a signal to let them know its location. But it made the sound twice and did not attack. They need to find it before it attacks.

The raid leader wiped his helmet when it felt like something was bothering it. There is yellow and sticky mucus on it. He instinctively turned his head and looked up.

A dark and red space swallowed him. There is a fishy smell and his hip hurt. He is sleepy. He cannot sleep….. But he is so sleepy.

The Black Ghost’s mouth rips the raid leaders upper body. The lower body flails and pours blood. His body has been cut in half.

It is a snake but does not swallow its meat and chews it like a carnivore. Its saw like teeth made Chun Myung Ik feel faint.

Die!

Pew pew pew pew!

The Black Ghost shakes its head. It is hanging by its tail and is moving freely in the air. The only thing is that it cannot move beyond a certain distance.

“Over there!”

“Ack!”

A raid leader pointed somewhere. It is a ventilator that is full of the Black Ghost.

60% of its body had already come out. The rest is a matter of time.

It is not a width that the Black Ghost could fit its body through, but the snake’s physical characteristics and its determination to get out was making the impossible possible.

The Black Ghost had made noise because it had contracted its body as much as it could in order to get through the vent, and had finally released its breath once its head came out.

Bang bang!

The raid leaders threw bombs even though Chun Myung Ik had not ordered them to. However, the Black Ghost is hanging so high that they cannot reach it.

The explosives were not delivered properly. And while it moved around to avoid the bullets, the rest of its 40% slipped out.

Bang!

The Black Ghost brought its massive weight onto the ground. Its length reaches over 15m. It is so thick that 2 adults would be able to wrap their arms around it.

Scales that look as hard as turtle shells cover its entire body. There are horns on its forehead, and they are larger than a human’s legs.

The worst is its head. It did not have a snake head, but looked like the head of a carnivorous dinosaur was taken off and put on it. It is a mutant that evolved from a snake.
