Chapter 44 (1/2)

“What the fuck are you talking about? Are you kidding me? Okay, let’s say you’ve intruded this place. What are you going to do alone here? Huh?”

The branch manager felt keenly that in this world that changed like a game, he could do nothing alone. That’s why he blindly trusted the man called the Representative. The Representative was a leader who led the group with an absolute hand forged with the oath of blood.

But the young man was still smiling. Why?

The young man opened his mouth, “I liked being alone.”

“What, what the heck is this?”

“Uh?”

And a red warning message appeared before the branch manager’s eyes.

<ul>

Caution! “Fellblade” is now in your area!

</ul>

Soon, black smoke exploded and filled the inside of the factory.

“Ahhhh!”

“Argh!”

Screams of death broke out from everywhere.

-You have been possessed by the curse of death. Your stats are greatly reduced.

At that moment there was something behind the black smoke.

“What a cool skill!”

They were none other than the white demons that appeared all of a sudden.

<hr />

Fellblade, the sub-effect of ‘Vacant Sanctuary,’ was a skill that spread curses to the affected area when a large number of subordinates were summoned all at once.

As it turned out, the “triggering condition” of the skill was to summon at least ten subordinates. As a result, the black smoke was enough to fill the small factory, and skeletons began to take shape everywhere.

“Cough! Cough! Argh!”

“Block them!”

As the skill grade of Fellblade was low, the black smoke quickly dissipated. However, the branch manager’s momentary embarrassment was enough for Sungwoo to use his fatal weakness.

“Ahhhhh!”

Screams were heard everywhere. And along with the screams, the sound of creepy bones clanking against each other rang.

Rattle, rattle…

“Wake up! They’re all scarecrows anyway! All you have to do is kill the bastard controlling them.”

The branch manager shouted at his men hanging from the railing on the second floor.

The moment the smoke spread, he jumped and grabbed the railing. He had something to trust. He thought that the three vampires, including himself, were powerful enough to overpower ordinary monsters and players incomparably. Therefore, they could kill a ‘rat’ like Sungwoo.

“That bastard!”

Then he found a man in the scattering smoke massaging his wrists after releasing the rope, namely Sungwoo.

Crackle!

Next to him was Right, the goblin skeleton. Right broke the rope around his hands.

“Kill that bastard first!”

The branch manager yelled, but nobody followed his direction. In fact, they couldn’t.

Bang! Clang!

They were already struggling to beat their opponents that were everywhere.

“They’re coming from there, too!”

“Damn, tell the security guards outside to come in!”

Ordinary players barely could confront the orc skeletons. However, if they had the misfortune of confronting the Werebear skeleton…

The vampires tore apart the orc skeletons without any difficulty, but the situation didn’t get better.

“What the heck! They are being resurrected!”

-The dead has become your subordinate under your authority.

They now faced the strange phenomenon of the monsters’ bodies piled up in the factory, reviving. The corpses they collected to get meat, bones, and leather after dissecting them revived and walked toward them with glittering red eyes. They were now shuddering with fear.

The branch manager stared at Sungwoo, gnashing his teeth because he realized that there were no subordinates to help him.

“Hey, branch manager? When the branch here disappears, what title are you going to use?”

His face turned red at Sungwoo’s provocative question.

Eventually, he couldn’t stand it anymore and charged at Sungwoo, kicking the railing. But Sungwoo stepped back and disappeared into the thin smoke. The branch manager, checking his movements, quickly landed on the ground and chased him.

At that moment, however, something flew toward his face.
