Chapter 159 (2/2)

They came out on the big road and started running.

“Stop!” Minsok shouted. There was a red marble floating in the air in front of them.

Whoo-

Then, some sparks from somewhere flew around the object one by one, and the flames flowed in and condensed into one place. Then, a huge flame tornado arose.

Kugugugugugu-

The Fire Giant fragmented himself to fly to them.

“Man, that monster singled us out for attack!”

Minsok raised the sword and defended the forefront, but even though he was the powerful Death Knight, he couldn’t stop such a giant.

“We have to fight.”

It seemed that Sungwoo had to change the plan to fight against the monster after escaping to a safe place first because if they were hesitant here, frightened, they might be killed even before confronting the ‘Hell Moving Armor.’

“Damn it! I have no choice but to summon the undead.”

Sungwoo summoned the undead.

Soon, troll skeletons and ghouls appeared and surrounded Sungwoo and his party.

Thump- Thump-

The Fire Giant, who regained his original figure and advanced along the boulevard.

Chiiiiiiiii

When he moved, his feet burned the asphalt and generated toxic gas. Then, his bulky body swayed without any certain shape and began to swallow the surrounding buildings.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

“Fire!”

There was screaming inside a building.

“There are people inside there.”

That was an unexpected scene. It seemed that they were the players Sungwoo and his party saw from the sky before the crash.

It seemed that they were hiding inside the building, but they were now in a dangerous situation because the Fire Giant came to this place to attack Sungwoo’s party.

“If they are not helped, they will be burned to death.”

Jisu did not hide the responsibility for that tragedy, but Sungwoo and his party could not afford to save them now.

“Dad! Dad!”

“Guys, step back!”

Children’s screams erupted inside the building. Sungwoo’s eyebrows wriggled.

This was something familiar to him.

A burning building, people screaming, and even him standing in front of them. This was something Sungwoo had seen before.

The moment he hesitated to act in front of the flames and finally gave up was similar to the moment when his family died in the fire.

Old memories rekindled his painful trauma.

Since he was so weak-minded back then, he did not have the courage to jump into the flames to save his family, so he survived alone.

But now he was different.

“Everyone, back off.”

Now, he can jump into the fire to save them.

Sungwoo put on the hood of the robe. Then he held out his right hand.

There the Grim Reaper appeared.

-You have summoned the killing scythe, ‘Grim Reaper’.

-Grim Reaper retention time (00:59:59)

“Please guard behind me.”

Green flames began to eat his body. Pure white bones were revealed and his green eyes lit up.

-You have gained the power of ‘Lich’.

* Increases maximum subordinate spirits (+50).

* All stats increase (+10).

* You can revive and regenerate nearby destroyed undead ‘indefinitely as much as the maximum number of your subordinate spirits’.

“Sungwoo, are you okay?”

Of course, Sungwoo’s party trusted him, but the monster approaching them right now was quite different from the monsters they had seen before.

The Fire Giant was a whopping level 27 monster. So, everybody escaped without even trying to confront him.

“We have to check it out.”

Jisu turned backward because a herd of Hell Hounds literally started pouring out from the alley on the right.

Two-woong! Two-woong!
