NOVEL WEB Chapter 25
Chapter 25: Abraham (2)
Rake did not tremble.
To be precise, she was greatly agitated emotionally, but she did not reveal that fact to me.
Even as she crouched down, she peeked her head out so I could see the situation.
Thanks to that, I could see the darkness that covered the sky and Abraham standing calmly beneath it.
The Dark Cloud Demon slowly, but precisely, approaches the city where Abraham is.
It’s not just the dark clouds.
Dozens, hundreds, or maybe even thousands of flying objects are accompanying the dark clouds.
Demons resembling birds and insects. Demons without wings are clinging to their legs.
It is said that the mid-rank demon resembling a bat that George caught had five lower-rank demons with it.
According to Rising Phoenix, the Cobra Demon that Abraham caught also seemed to have three lower-rank demons with it.
The Dark Cloud Demon had thousands of demons with it.
Just how big is the difference between mid-rank and high-rank?
I briefly turned my attention to the community window. I wonder if they are watching this too.
[Rising Phoenix: Abraham’s current status!
He defeated three lower-rank demons and is now in a bloody fight with a mid-rank demon!]
This guy, he’s been broadcasting this whole time.
[Samurai Jackson: Stop messing around and run away quickly. You’ll die like that.]
ㄴ [Rising Phoenix: What does it matter? We’re all going to die anyway lol]
ㄴ [Rising Phoenix: Since we’re all going to die anyway, can’t we enjoy at least one interesting spectacle?]
ㄴ [Rising Phoenix: Dying alone in a cave VS dying after seeing an awesome battle]
ㄴ [Rising Phoenix: Isn’t the latter obvious?]
Is his mind broken because he’s too exhausted? I feel a little sorry for him.
[Close-Range Spy: Is everyone watching?
That guy has arrived.
Dig a hole in the ground if you have to, just hide.
Don’t do anything for 10 hours, just stay still.
Just shit and piss right where you are.]
It was certain that it was huge enough to be seen from other regions.
Well, it was enough to darken the sky even when approaching from afar.
[Fallen Power Knight: Fuck… What the fuck is that?
Was that the Dark Cloud Demon? Is that why no one said anything?
This fucking… Those who came here first should have told us more about this…
I was really thinking crazy thoughts about trying to poke at a mid-rank demon when I reach level 6~7…]
[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Close-Range Spy was right.
Really;;]
While I was looking back and forth between the community and Abraham, ‘it’ slowly approached.
Woo woo wooong━!
Finally, it reached Tibera with an ominous and terrifying sound.
The flying demons that had flown ahead of it and arrived near the city where Abraham was, dropped the demons they were holding with their legs.
Judging by the fact that they weren’t as big as the Cobra Demon, they seemed to be lower-rank demons.
Gorolok!
Grur륵!
The demons, who fell to the ground and rolled over several times before getting up, rush towards Abraham.
The moment the distance narrowed to a certain extent, Abraham raised his hands high in the sky.
And a long whip wrapped in holy light appeared.
Shuaaaak!
He swung his whip towards the demons. He swung it so fast that a shockwave erupted.
Pupupupung!
The demons that touched the whip exploded instantly and fluttered away as ashes.
Overwhelming.
[Rising Phoenix: Oh lol Abraham just used a skill.
He’s swinging a whip made of light! The demons are just being swept away lol]
A comment is immediately posted.
[Close-Range Spy: It’s the level 7 skill Judgment’s Whip. If you saw that, please run away now.]
So it’s a skill called Judgment’s Whip.
Soon after, light spread from Abraham’s whip and intercepted the flying demons that had approached nearby. It’s the Light Explosion skill.
I felt the same emotion as Brahmanda. If you reach level 7, you can do that much… Did he really have to choose such an extreme method?
Of course, it’s a thought I can have because I don’t know Abraham’s personality and the situation he’s in.
Bang! Bang!
The demons exploded at a medium distance without even reaching Abraham.
A large Monster Parrot, which appeared to be a mid-rank demon, approached and tried to snatch him, but its leg was caught by the whip and it flew away.
The sight of Abraham facing dozens of demons alone was truly the very image of a high-level user in .
But that was all.
When the number of demons surrounding Abraham exceeded several hundred, I sensed his defeat.
Now, demons rushing and flying from all directions blocked my and Rake’s view.
Light occasionally exploded in between, but it was a handful compared to the demonic forces.
At some point, the dark clouds hung over Abraham.
It stretched out a giant tentacle downwards and snatched Abraham, who was buried among the demons, and lifted him up.
“Uh, Uwaaaak━!”
His scream as he’s dragged away echoes all the way here.
“Th, These bastards! D, Don’t come!”
Rising Phoenix, who was watching, was also discovered and attacked by the demons, literally torn apart.
“I can’t do this anymore.”
Before Rake whispered softly and hid her head completely, I could clearly see it.
Abraham’s helmet, armor, and weapons falling to the ground.
They were all horribly mangled.
He met a terrible end without even being able to fight the Dark Cloud Demon.
Can I defeat such a being…?
…No, I must win.
Calmly, waiting for the right moment.
* * * * * *
At the same time, the Necromancer’s Tomb.
“Ha… Which bastard covered it with grass? I’ve been looking for it for a while.”
The armed, bearded man finally found the entrance to the tomb that Nix and the barbarian warriors had concealed.
His nickname is Reno Johnson. He was a paladin who specialized in searching for Hidden Pieces.
He recently reached level 4 and obtained the ‘Purification’ skill, and came back to the dungeon he had given up on raiding before.
‘Did someone else already take it? No. Then there would be no reason to hide the entrance. Why on earth did they cover it up?’
While Reno Johnson was lost in thought, a cold wind brushed past him.
“Huh?”
When he looked up to see what it was, the sky had suddenly darkened.
“Wh, What is this?”
There was a word that flashed through Reno Johnson’s mind.
Dark clouds.
The cause of the disappearance of the successful George’s raiding party without a trace.
“Oh shit…!”
He went inside the tomb to hide for now.
‘Anyway, since I’m in, shall I see if there are any Hidden Pieces?’
After closing the coffin that served as a door, he raised his bracelet. The light that entered the bracelet illuminated the dark tomb.
Crown. Bracelet. Necklace. Amulet. Everything he was wearing were Hidden Pieces.
He, who had lived as a game addict for decades, was a heavy user who delved deeply into the game, even writing strategy guides for several times.
That’s why he knew the location of the hidden dungeon of a game that went bankrupt 10 years ago.
He stepped on the zombie corpses that Nix and the warriors had dealt with before and entered the room with murals.
Thanks to the ‘Special Object Detection Radar’ function of his necklace, he was able to come quickly.
“What? It’s not here?”
No matter how much he searched through the books, he couldn’t find the Book of the Dead.
‘Then why did the radar activate?’
Could it be that there’s a new Hidden Piece besides the Book of the Dead?
He had experienced this kind of thing in previous dungeon explorations as well.
Excited by the new discovery, he searched the room thoroughly, and soon discovered a wall that made a hollow sound when he knocked on it.
‘There’s a magical measure in place.’
He used the ‘Protection Removal (Intermediate)’ skill he obtained from another dungeon to remove the protective magic cast on the wall.
It was easy to remove because it was the magic of a tomb that had not been managed for a long time.
And he carefully dug out the wall with the skill ‘Grave Robber’s Dexterous Hand’, which he also obtained from another dungeon.
Inside the wall, there was a jar placed in a small space large enough for a child to enter.
And that jar was shaking.
“What the…!”
Reno Johnson, who instinctively felt a sense of crisis, tried to back away, but it was too late.
His body was being pulled towards the jar by an unknown force.
“Eek! Eek!”
He tried to escape while screaming, but his hand had already opened the lid of the jar.
A red spirit rising from the jar penetrated Reno Johnson’s eyes and nose.
“Kek! Kek! Keheok!”
It was Karon, who had become an evil spirit, a being that transcended the physical body.
The necromancer’s last resort, which even the power of God had failed to completely eliminate, had finally awakened.
A man tapping on a keyboard in his room and a man hugging the corpses of three children and wailing.
The memories of Reno Johnson and Karon mix, and Karon’s soul consumes Reno Johnson’s soul.
A continent on the verge of extinction. Humans corrupted by the power of demons. A goddess who summons humans from another world and sacrifices them. Silent Loa.
“Are you… just a human whose fate has been toyed with by God?”
Reno Johnson’s voice becomes low and ominous.
A sinister red light filled his eyes.
He walked out of the tomb with calm steps and looked up at the blackened sky.
The Dark Cloud Demon, stopped far away, comes into his view.
“…Beings that are not human are toying with the world. As always.”
He quietly stared at the high-ranking demon.
“Don’t worry.”
It was no longer Reno Johnson.
“I will save you all.”
An exile who mastered the forbidden magic that governs death.
The calamity that brought about the zombie apocalypse.
A transcendent being who gained the ability to control body and soul.
The adversary of the gods.
The ancient evil that slumbered on the continent has awakened.
