Reincarnator Chapter 242:
Reincarnator - Chapter 242 :Unsealing (4)
Chiiiiiiik .
The moment Hansoo’s hand was placed on the flail .
Whoosh!
A tremendous amount of energy and heat started to burn Hansoo’s hand .
Einchel, Christopher, Kamiyou and the others realized why Hansoo had stopped them as they saw the scales of Hansoo melting down .
‘We… Would get burnt the moment we touch it . Jesus, is that guy even human?’
A tremendous amount of mana .
And a powerful reinforcement skill that could turn him into a moving fortress .
A body that was countless times more powerful than the others .
He was barely holding on because he had all of these things in addition to his artifacts .
A scene which befuddled Kamiyou who thought that everyone eventually ended up at similar levels and only had time and hard work as a difference .
If runes and skills were the basis of one’s strength, that guy’s foundation was at a whole other level .
It felt like he belonged to another race entirely .
Then .
Chiiiiiik .
Hansoo spoke towards Kamiyou while grabbing the blazing flail .
“I’m going into the test now . ”
A test .
As they looked at Hansoo with a confused expression .
Kamiyou asked a different question .
“ . . . Can we help you with anything?”
“Nope . ”
Kamiyou made a bitter expression as if he had expected this answer .
‘As I thought . ’
In terms of overall strength, the eight hundred of them were more powerful than Hansoo .
But a test .
A test was something which tested an individual’s ability .
At the same time .
Squirm .
The veins started to climb up the arm of Hansoo who was grabbing onto the blazing flail .
Like hundreds of tiny snakes .
The veins which heated up the flail, filled with a countless amount of despair and mana .
The heat from them was no less than from the the flail itself .
Chiiiiiiiik .
The thousands of red veins covered Hansoo’s arm as they climbed up .
‘ . . . We are nowhere worthy huh… How powerful is he to be able to handle that…’
As Kamiyou looked at Hansoo, whose body was covered by the red veins, in shock .
Hansoo, whose body was slowly being covered by the snakes and were now climbing up to his neck, spoke towards Kamiyou .
“While I go through the test, I’ll be completely cut off from the world . Think of one thing during that time . Survive . ”
Chiiiiiiiiiiik .
Soon the veins climbed up above his neck and started to cover the lower parts of his face .
Right before he was covered entirely from the veins .
Hansoo spoke some words for everyone who was listening .
“Hold on until I get back . ”
With those words .
Kuuududududuk .
The red veins covered Hansoo from head to toe .
At the same time .
Badump! Badump!
The red veins started to aggressively thump .
As if they were happy at gaining something to devour .
Einchel spoke to Kamiyou while watching the strange scene .
“ . . . We need to fight for ourselves I guess . ”
Kamiyou nodded at her words .
‘Can’t change anything now . ’
In a fight where they had to fight for themselves, there was no hatred .
Hansoo breaking that mysterious seal was the most important thing .
The moment the Scarlet Demons decided to hunt them, fight was inevitable .
Just when and where they would fight was the issue .
‘And . . . I need to take charge . ’
Though he had created the Ant Tunnel which was supposed to be for everyone’s benefit, the results clearly told them something different .
He had led them here and had to take responsibility for them .
‘But not yet . ’
Kamiyou spoke to the surrounding adventurers with a resolute expression .
“There’s something I haven’t been able to tell you guys . ”
“ . . . ?”
As people looked at Kamiyou with confused expressions .
Kamiyou tightly grasped the weapon in his hands and shouted .
“It’s a very important matter so please survive . Since it’s important, you guys all need to be alive to hear it right?”
Everyone chuckled and somebody spoke .
“Heheh . You yourself should stay alive captain . If there’s no mouth to say anything, we can’t hear it right?”
“Keeping you alive will relieve my curiosity huh . Don’t be too harsh when you’re missing a leg . ”
The people warmed up their bodies and started to gather around Kamiyou .
As if they were protecting him .
Kamiyou was a leader who protected them and had done his best for their safety and their survival .
He had the right to be respected and was much more precious than themselves .
Even if they survived here, they needed someone to lead them .
No, just receiving a means of safety for them who roamed around the Green Zone without a clue was a huge debt in itself .
3 years of safety and survival .
This was the time for them to repay their debts .
Kamiyou clenched his fist tightly as he watched the groups of people surrounding him .
‘Please don’t . I’m not worthy of all this . ’
He wanted to shout .
About the contract he had with their opponents, the Ant Eaters .
That he was the one that should be killed .
But he couldn’t shout it yet .
Since it would cause the minds of the people to falter and fall into chaos .
Kamiyou thought of the words Hansoo left behind and clenched his teeth .
‘Just like Hansoo said . . . Just focus on surviving . ’
At the same time .
Boooom!
A giant tower of flame charged toward them from the maze .
“Kuhuk! Block it!”
Kwadddddddudud!
They had already expected that these guys would come .
Rumble .
Though they had been able to block it because they were prepared for it, their expressions weren’t that good .
Since everyone knew .
That this was the beginning .
Then .
Boooom!
“Hahahahaha! It’s been a while!”
“You’re all here huh!”
Over a hundred people started to charge towards them from behind the flaming pillar .
The Gold and Scarlet Demons .
And the extremely chilling blue light and the scorching red light in the front .
Olsen and Sharon Stiller .
The tremendous amount of energy that radiated out from these two filled the entire area .
While suppressing the aura of the adventurers .
Soon, they will die out in large numbers .
At the hands of those two .
‘Fuck…’
Kamiyou turned around at the vicious aura of the two .
Towards Hansoo who was surrounded by the thumping veins .
‘Please . . . Please hurry . ’
They needed to hold on until Hansoo came out .
With him taking the brunt of it at the front .
Kamiyou clenched his teeth and charged forward .
Towards Sharon Stiller who was approaching them with a demonic expression .
Soon .
Booooooom!
The entire area was soon filled with countless different lights .
Along with sounds of explosions and screams .
…………………………………… .
Rummbllee .
Hansoo’s soul was in a different place .
A red space .
Some red liquid was up to Hansoo’s ankle on the floor and as he looked up, the sky was blood red as well .
Hansoo mumbled as he looked at the red space .
‘ . . . It seems my body didn’t arrive here . Did only my soul come here?’
His body was probably surrounded by some red veins .
Then .
Sssssssk .
A ripple was created from the red liquid on the ground as a change occurred .
Kuuuurrrrruk .
The red liquid bubbled and rose up as it started to form into a human .
Not just in a few locations but in tens of thousands of locations .
Hansoo mumbled as he watched the liquid form into people .
‘ . . . These are the souls huh . ’
The 66,666 souls that were sacrificed for the Kingdoms and Empires .
Some looked like farmers and some looked like soldiers .
Some looked sick and some resembled cripples .
But they all had two things in common .
First, they were all either weak or had some form of disability .
Second, they all had looks of rage hiding underneath their dazed looks .
Soon Hansoo was surrounded by countless souls and the tens of thousands of these vengeful spirits started to mumble at Hansoo .
<It’s been a long time . >
< . . . Fucking . . . Bastards . >
<Those who come in here…>
< . . . Can he really…>
Then .
A loud voice could be heard from somewhere .
<800 years . Since somebody came into this place . Well, you have the right to at least . >
Hansoo looked towards where the voice came from .
A man covered in scars with a sword in his hand was looking at him .
The moment the man spoke .
The voices of the souls stopped .
Hansoo looked at that man and thought .
‘So this guy is the leader huh . ’
But the silence only lasted for so long .
The spirits started to mumble again .
<The ones who came into the maze were all empty husks . >
<What does it matter if they cannot die . Since there’s no filling, there’s a limit to their growth . Since they are limited, they can’t even handle the test of their physical body . >
<Sad . If they were our descendants, they might be able to accomplish it . >
<They don’t dare to come in because they’re scared of the curse . Fucking hell, if only the curse wasn’t there…>
<At least this guy isn’t that bad . >
The test of one’s physical body .
Hansoo realized what this test was about .
‘Surviving the blazing heat of the veins is the first test . ’
Even if the players could get in here, they wouldn’t be able to handle the test .
Since they had a limit on their levels .
No matter how many skills they stack, they wouldn’t be able to handle the test .
‘If I didn’t go through the Body Enhancement Surgery or had the Mana Jade then it would’ve been hard . ’
Then .
The man, who looked like a leader, started to speak .
<Quiet> .
The 66,665 spirits surrounding him quieted down .
As they all stopped talking, the man started to speak again .
<I don’t know the reason why you came all the way here but there is one thing we want from you . Strength . >
Hansoo nodded .
His goal was destroying the seal .
But of course obtaining the God’s Flail was part of his plan as well .
The man started to speak again .
“Some random half-hearted ability is nowhere enough to control the strength within the flail and our hatred . Since you can withstand the energy from the mana node, you have some potential but… The test of the spirit is a different matter entirely . If you don’t have the qualification then… Even if you gain the strength, either your body will blow up or you will go crazy .
“Let’s hurry . ”
There was an ongoing battle in the outside world .
There was no time to waste .
The man laughed coldly .
<Woah, you should at least listen until the end . Even if you pass the test and obtain the right to use the strength . . . There’s no meaning if we don’t give you the strength right?>
Hansoo frowned at the man’s words .
He realized they wanted something from him .
“What do you want?”
The man, who was laughing just a bit before, started to turn extremely grim .
As if he remembered something he had kept hidden .
The man spoke to Hansoo while trembling in rage .
<Simple . Can… You avenge us?>
The spirits surrounding them started to chatter again .
<If you nod… And pass the test . We can give you the strength of an immortal . >
<But if you deny, you won’t get anything . Even if you pass the test, we won’t help you . >
<It’ll be the same if you break the deal after you gain the strength . Your body will get ripped apart . >
Hansoo spoke as he watched the enraged spirits .
“Revenge huh . . . Who are the targets? The Ains?”
These were people who fought against the Ains .
They might want to get their revenge against the Ains .
The spirits started to laugh out loud .
<Hahahahaha! Why would we hate the Ains?>
<If they hate us then they can hate us . They’ve done nothing wrong . >
<What we want are the flesh and blood others . >
Soon .
They all started to scream .
The shouts of tens of thousands of spirits filled the entire red space .
<We want the flesh and blood of those who turned us like this . >
<Kill them all . The ones who did this to us . All the citizens of the Kingdoms and the Empires . >
<Those who sacrificed us because we became useless . >
<We just got tired and injured much faster because we fought at the front . They just treated us like trash . >
<We, who should be hailed as heroes, are now suffering for all eternity . Kill all those who are living their lives in glory up above . >
<Sacrifice their flesh and blood to us . >
<That is what we want . We want them to be shredded apart . >
The shouts that were filled with hatred entered Hansoo’s ear .
