A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

33. Skeletons of the Hidden Dungeon (4)

“Don't worry. You want me to use something nasty like this? I'd rather clean the sewers one more time. ”

Yooseong opened the door saying, "Don't worry."

Yuck! Yuck!

When I opened the door, the dark energy covered his body.

My back was cool when I heard the chills in my arms. I felt like I had hair all over me.

In the center of this dreary and ominous aura was a white skeleton wrapped in robes. On the rocking chair, you see Rich swinging slowly and relaxed.

“Oh, are you finally here? I was worried about what would happen if Chimera killed me on the way here. ”

Rich welcomed the meteor with a bright voice.

“Huh, the dead gave me a beating a while back, but they won't listen to me. Undead like Skeletons and Ghouls are very good at what they say. Did you make it yourself? Haha.”

Rich smiles like a kind old man.

What are you up to? ’

Why does he greet himself with a smile like that? What the hell was Rich thinking?

Yooseong could not understand Rich's attitude.

“How long will you stand there? Sit down for a second. ”

Exactly!

As Rich flicked his finger, a chair appeared in front of Yooseong's eyes.

“Sit comfortably. ”

Rich asked me to sit down with my hands outstretched. It was Rich speaking like a loving grandfather, but Yooseong could not clear his doubts. So I couldn't sit in a chair.

“Haha, don't make me say it twice. I told you to sit down. ”

Rich's voice and mood changed in an instant. Yooseong's body moved by itself. I walked on the chair by myself and lay down on the chair by myself.

“Hmm... good, very good. You have to listen to the grown-ups to be a good boy. ”

Rich begins to make a loving voice again.

“A long time ago, a long time ago. I brought in a student. He was a very good, very smart boy. He was a very good boy. Watching him grow up was the joy of my life. I was so happy every day. I was having such a happy day, and I was having a nervous breakdown. ”

Rich shakes his head as if his head were hurting.

“It always hurts when I think of that time... to attract...... people called it a gangrene." The gangrene does not appear to be any external symptoms. I didn't have a rash. I didn't have a lantern. He's just got a fever, like he's got a cold. It was like a curse. Like the curse the witch put on you. There's nothing to figure out why the gangrene spread, where it started, what the cure was. When I get gangrene, I just have to pray that I don't get sick and die. ”

“I prayed in bed every day. Please don't let me die...... And God granted my wish. I survived the gangrene. After overcoming the gangrene, the world has been different ever since. So much for everything! Too much! It looked beautiful! ”

Suddenly Rich starts laughing like crazy. When he saw Rich touching his body due to happiness, his back was creeped out.

“The world was so beautiful. I've lived so long to see this beautiful world with my own eyes. But my body was too old. His back was bent like a centipede, and his skin was sliced open as if he were looking at a dry rice field. My hair, which was once like silk, had lost its vitality and was leaking white. I looked in the mirror and saw the ugly old man's bones. An old man in the sight of death. ”

Rich stood up and approached him. I wanted to move my body, but I couldn't move my body.

What's wrong with my body? ’

An unknown force presses down on you. My body didn't move at all.

Reaching out to him, Rich reached out his white hand and touched his cheek.

Rich's hands are cold as ice. A cold chill touched my cheek.

“I needed a new body. A new, strong body! Just like you! ”

“Is that why you brought me here? Aim for my body? ”

“Exactly! Very clever! I think I see my disciple...... that damn disciple! ”

Rich is enraged.

“Feed the orphans on the streets, raise them to be good wizards and then betray me and run away! You ungrateful bastard! You should have given yourself to me nicely, but he ran away! He killed all the wizards in the Black Horse Tower! I burned down the lab! That made me look like this Rich! So! Give yourself...... Give yourself to me! ”

Rich squirts blue eye light from his eyes and grabs his shoulder. Rich's finger made of bone dug into his shoulder.

‘Ugh... Damn! I said move! "

I had to get out of Rich's hands. Otherwise, he might be taken over by Richie. However, his body did not listen to him.

“Son of a bitch! ”

“You have a big mouth. Don't worry. If I take over your body, your body will only speak highly sophisticated and sophisticated words from now on. ”

“You skeleton! You think I'm just gonna give up my body? ”

“What can you do now? What can you possibly do that can't even unravel the binding magic on a chair? ”

Rich laughed and ridiculed him.

“Stop giving up. I'll have it done in no time. ”

Rich reaches out for the meteor. Rich's hands are filled with the energy of death.

Flash!

It was then. The black flame that Yooseong was wearing began to glow and ricochet away.

“Hehe! The clothes, the magic, were hidden! ”

“Got it! We're moving! ”

My body finally moves. Yooseong got up from the chair.

“I didn't know you had magic in your clothes. I should have checked in advance. I'm so glad I forgot. But nothing will change. The display and reflex magic embedded in that suit appears to be rechargeable. I won't be able to use it anymore. I'm the Grand Wizard of the Seven Circles! Overpowering you is enough to pinch a finger. ”

“Screw you, skull-fucker. Whose choice?”

“You have a big mouth. You need to fix your habits. ”

“Then try it. ”

Rich grabs the staff at the taunt of the meteor.

“I'll punish you lightly, since you shouldn't get hurt. Deathbolt!”

Black arrows flash around Rich.

“Take it!”

“If you say, 'Take it,' who will take it? ”

Arrows filled with the energy of death flew towards the meteor. I lifted up the Hidden Box that I had left next to him.

Whoo-hoo!

Suddenly, a golden seal appears around the Hidden Box and bounces off all of Rich's Death Bolts.

“You bounced off my magic? What the hell is that box? ”

“This? What could it be? An absolute magical shield that will destroy your mortals. ”

“An absolute magical shield? That's funny. Then you should bounce this too. ”

Rich grabs the staff and starts chanting.

“The Dark Hand. Can you stop this? ”

A huge hand appears over Rich's head. Dark clumps of black Mana and Qi, that was the Dark Magic Dark Hand of the Five Circles.

‘It's fucking huge. ’

He was overwhelmed by the enormous size of the dark hand and even flinched for a moment, but Yooseong was soon able to catch his mind.

Yooseong firmly believed in the physical and magical attack immunity abilities of Hidden Box.

“That's one tongue. We can stop it. Come on. Blow it. ”

“Him!”

Rich moves the dark hand. A huge dark grip struck his body.

"Now!"

Before the dark hand wrapped around the body, Yooseong lifted up the Hidden Box.

Pa!

The Golden Gate reappears in the Hidden Box. The dark hand reaches the boundary and dissipates into a swarm of light.

“Ridiculous…… stopping the Dark Hand! I can't believe my eyes! What... what the hell is that box?! ”

“Inspiration. Alzheimer's? You said it before. It's an absolute magical shield. ”

“An absolute magical shield? You think there's such a thing in the world? ”

“This inspiration has been deceived. I can't believe I'm seeing it with my own eyes. ”

“Aah!”

Rich makes his way through the streets. Rich was engulfed in rage.

“Even his disciples say that now even the petty adventurers despise me! Aaaahhh!"

An explosive fraud erupts from Rich's body.

[Sheepdog: Phase 2 start.]

“I tried to take the flesh, but I don't need it anymore! If I kill you, another adventurer will come for me next time! I'll rip you limb from limb! ”

“No, what did I do to make you so angry? ”

Why are you getting so mad at yourself when you haven't done anything?

Yooseong couldn't understand why Rich was angry.

“That Reach is a wizard. Wizards are very proud of their magic skills. After a long time of refining your magic skills and reaching the point where you can become rich on your own strength, your confidence in magic will be overwhelming, and everything you've accomplished in your life will feel unfair because you stopped all magic with the Hidden Box. ”

“Is that what all wizards do? Sometimes things don't work out. How can you be so mad at him for something like that? ”

“You bastards! How dare you talk to me! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! ”

As Meteor and Titania gossip ignored Rich, Rich's anger intensified.

“I'm the Great Wizard with my feet on the threshold of eight circles! With my best magic! I'll erase you from this world! ”

“If you're stepping on the threshold of eight circles, shouldn't the result be seven circles? You're trying to scam this son of a bitch. ”

“Yi, Yi... Profit! ”

Rich scolded anger by calling out the name of Profit Teacher, a sexologist and author of Hogwash in the Joseon Dynasty.

“El! Patun! Fatrus!”

Rich starts chanting in an angry voice. The surrounding Mana starts to gather around Rich's staff.

“That spell... It can't be... Yooseong! This is bad! Rich is casting 8-Circle Magic right now! We have to stop them! ”

“Can 7 circles use 8 circle magic? ”

“Using that staff as a vessel...... No, that's not what matters right now! Come on, come on, we got to get out of here! ”

Titania shouts in a hurry.

“Huh-huh-huh... Run away? Who do you think's gonna let go? ”

Exactly!

The door of the lab closes with a thump as Rich flicks his finger.

“There's nowhere to run! Welcome to death! Huhu! ”
