Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 282 Whispering Star (5)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

The roar that struck Hyunmoo didn’t end in one shot.

Instantly enveloped in darkness, Hyunmoo realized that even the thin light that had leaked through the cracks in the building was disappearing.

She smashed the thin wall closest to her quickly so that she could escape when there was even the slightest gap.

But beyond the wall was another wall.

A loud noise was still resounding from inside the advanced golem. The vibration felt more distant and thicker.

quack, quack.

Hyunmoo felt her ears deaf as she heard the annoying noise.

It’s not just because of the noise. The high-level golem was coming close to the body strong enough to compress the air.

I thought it was because of the atmospheric pressure that the sound was getting weirder.

‘Come on, turn it off.’

Perhaps the identity of this noise was the sound of a golem in the shape of a giant giant transforming into a new form to confine Hyunmoo.

At this rate, even if Hyunmoo kicks, hits, and breaks the wall, he will continue to face another wall. The opponent has to reconstruct the structure again with the materials that Hyunmoo broke.

‘At one time… … Destroy it without giving it a chance to recover.’

Using a hearthstone is easy to get out of. But Hyunmoo had no intention of doing so.

Instead, he gathered his forces to use his ultimate: Beast of the End.

[no]

shit.

The moment Hyunmoo gathered his strength to use his ultimate: Beast of the End, a sharp headache hit Hyunmoo’s head.

Hyunmoo stumbled as the skill stopped abruptly. Mana, which was about to appear, pounded all over Hyunmoo’s body and smashed.

Hyunmoo went crazy. Forcing you to stop using skills?

[It’s not yours]

‘Isn’t it mine?’

I didn’t know what Gaul was talking about. But it was foolish to take seriously the words of the enemy while fighting.

[get out]

The wall couldn’t get narrower, so it completely wrapped around Hyunmoo’s body. A 120-story megastructure was crushed to contain only one person.

Hyunmoo felt like he was buried in the middle of the planet.

Even a person with the same ability as Hyunmoo is like this, so it was a pressure that would not be strange for a normal hunter even if his whole body was crushed earlier.

Although not dead enough, it was enough to neutralize Hyunmoo. In addition, the aftereffects of forced skill interruption and high air pressure made Hyunmoo’s condition worse.

[get out]

Then Hyunmoo saw a small white spider moving in the dark.

It was a small spider that could easily crawl through the crevices of a strongly condensed building. The spider was crawling in front of Hyunmoo’s eyes and stopped somewhere.

[This place is not a battlefield for you]

“I decide where I fight, you bastard.”

At that moment, Hyunmoo used Skill: Ego Weapon.

If the beast of the end is something that Ghaul can stop because it is not ‘mine’, then the ego weapon is ‘myself’ that no one can refute.

Again, this time without interruption, the ego weapon was summoned, tearing apart the body of the advanced golem.

Woong Woong Woong Woong!

The ego weapon writhes and struggles frantically, as if unable to withstand the crushing pressure.

Hyunmoo summoned another sack in his left hand. Summoning two swords was a gamble at which Hyunmoo himself risked his life in a situation where it was difficult to control even one.

However, perhaps it was worth taking that risk, the higher-level golem began to split with a loud noise.

Bang, bang, bang.

Hyunmoo swung his arm right away as soon as he barely had time to move his arm.”Damn you bastard!”

At the same time, the ego weapon hit the spot where the white spider was.

Boulders collapsing and pouring down towards Hyunmoo. The ego weapon digs several tens of meters like that, and then stands tall.

As if torn apart from his skin and revealing his inner flesh, the core of the higher golem was exposed exactly where it was.

However, the ego weapon no longer lacked strength, so it fell to the ground and disappeared.

The exposed nuclei soon began to recover their shells again. But Hyunmoo had one more ego weapon left.

The second ego weapon flew away, smashing away the reinforcing bars and stones that were being restored at high speed.

[stop]

Wow!

Just before the ego weapon hit the engine directly, the ego weapon bounced off the air with a sharp sound.

The sharp roar of the air rattled Hyunmoo to the point where he had to plug his ears.

[No more resistance is meaningless]

quawkwwwwwww.

The non-stop noise was the sound of the high-level golem’s gigantic continuously playing. But it wasn’t just the sound.

In the meantime, there was a constant roar of dissonance mixed with it.

At one point, with the sound of the long burrow that Hyunmoo had made collapsing, something jumped.

“Don’t you think the family is the only one who cares about you? You bastard.”

“Oh oh oh oh oh!”

long howling. Yerdan, whose golden fur shone, appeared inside the golem with a long roar.

Jerdan immediately began tearing apart the structure with his long claws and teeth.

Even the speed of restoration of advanced golems could not keep up with the mighty power of chewing stones and tearing reinforcing bars. But it was only local.

“Use the tools, you savage!”

It was then that Yerdan found the ego weapon rolling on the floor and picked it up.

In Hyunmoo’s hand, the ego weapon was pounding like crazy, and in Yerdan’s hand, he was as quiet as a gentle sheep.

The ego weapon in Yerdan’s hand pierced the engine of the advanced golem at once.

At that moment, a huge flame exploded from the engine.

***

” Hyunmoo!”

Hyunmoo, who had been carried on Yardan’s back, sat in the spare shelter and looked at Ha-hyun waving his hand and made a ridiculous expression.

Compared to the fact that he ran away in surprise when he saw his severed arm, it was shockingly intact.

“No, why are you fine?”

“…is that what you’re saying because you’re worried about me?”

Ha-hyun asked suspiciously.

Hyunmoo groaned down Yerdan’s back. When the advanced golem engine detonated itself, Hyunmoo was the only one involved in the explosion.

Yerdan, who was hit by an explosion right in front of him, tanned his hair a bit.

It was also because of a simple explosion that did not mix with mana, but he did not know how much stronger he had become after becoming an apostle.

“More than that, I’m not the problem! Sanghyeon is seriously injured!”

“Sanghyun?”

Sang-hyeon was pretending to have not regained her memory yet to Ha-hyeon after his body was restored.

After he was resurrected, he was equipped with the quality of an apostle, but he had far less power than an average apostle.

It was because of his unreasonable growth.

Hyunmoo and Ha-hyun moved to Sang-hyun’s place. Sang-hyeon, who seemed unconscious, was lying on one side of the basement.

There was no lower left upper arm, and the lower part of the abdomen was more like a cocoon than a human body.

Even without looking at the affected area, I could tell that it was in a serious condition.

“What the hell happened?”

“I don’t know either. I remember Sanghyeon went there when called by the whispering star… Not long after, it was found near our shelter like this. And our shelter was attacked by those golems soon.”

Hyunmoo recalled that at the time of summoning at Ha-hyun’s words, only her arm was pulled out.

“Did your arm get cut off then?”

“Oh, that’s not it… Summoning came a long time after that. It was after moving to this shelter.”

Ha-hyun said while fiddling with her own arm.

“I tried to jump over in response to your summons, but something transparent membrane pushed me away.

When only Ha-hyun’s arm was pulled out, her worst imagination was that of Ha-hyun, who had been attacked and had her elbow blown away.

However, her explanation of Ha-hyeon was more like a description of her finger being caught because her door was closed incorrectly. In fact, one of her arms wouldn’t hurt her much.

Rather, the problem was that there was a problem with her summoning itself.

She said, ‘It was the same when using the beast of the apocalypse.’

Ghaul completely cut off Hyunmoo’s ultimate ability.

Considering that it also stopped the summons, it seemed plausible.

Hyunmoo recalled the description of Gawl he had heard a long time ago.

[The Broken Star, Ghaul, is a conspiratorial ruler who smiles from behind. He rules the crowds from behind blackouts with daggers, poison and conspiracies, scheming through blind secret societies of shadows.]

The explanation I heard at that time did not say anything about blocking the summons. But like Doryung Park, there was a consistent image unique to the Broken Star.

A being that cracks, breaks, and cracks.

The one who stands behind the crack and smiles.

When approached with the concept of ‘parting the gap’, the ability to block summons seemed to make sense.

But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t know what the conspiracy has to do with the golem.

‘If it’s the incarnation of a conspiracy, I think I’ll use some quieter guys.’

Up to this point, Ghaul has maintained a consistent identity in the sense that he is unknown and has simply been manipulating quietly from behind.

In some ways it resembled the Whispering Star, but it was also more secretive.

‘Then it means that there was an urgent need to move on your own all of a sudden.’

Hyunmoo’s gaze turned to Sanghyun, who was fainting.

It could be speculated that Sang-hyeon suffered such injuries because of the broken star.

Perhaps the purpose of the Broken Star was also more likely to be towards the Whispering Star, rather than Hyunmoo or Sanghyeon itself.

[I am on your side.][This is not a battlefield for you. Don’t worry, go back.]

I remembered the words that the breaking star urged me to do.

If the breaking star’s words were true, it would mean that the whispering star he attacked was Hyunmoo’s enemy.

It is also an enemy that Hyunmoo is unlikely to be able to deal with on his own.

Interestingly, the Whispering Star claims to be on Hyunmoo’s side.

They had to decide which of the two was really on their side and who was the enemy.

‘Or treat both as enemies.’

Hyunmoo looked at Sang-hyun with his arms crossed.

“Would you mind freeing me up for a moment?”

Hyunmoo asked Ha-hyun and the other apostles.

No one in the family dared to ask the reason for Hyunmoo’s sudden request.

When the surroundings became quiet enough, Hyunmoo approached Sang-hyeon. Sang-hyeon’s complexion was pale from the beginning, but now it looks exceptionally pale.

“Get up.”

Hyunmoo only spoke up there and called her name inwardly.

‘Monstril.’

Sanghyeon, no, Montstril’s eyelids slowly opened.***

Montstril’s eyes met Hyunmoo’s, and his eyes slowly became round.

“How can you not cheat for even five minutes?”

“If you look at the circumstances, you can’t even take it out or beat it.”

I thought maybe the injury could be a lie, but it seemed to be true that my condition was bad.

Monstrill lay flat on his back as if exhausted trying to get his body up. But instead of supporting her, Hyunmoo asked her quietly.

“What about Sang-hyun?”

“Oh, don’t worry. I’m just going down to the basal consciousness. I’m a child who is good at dealing with multiple rituals, so I don’t have to worry about my memory being damaged.

Hyunmoo remembered the agents who had appeared in his shelter during the last ordeal.

The agents robbed the apostle’s body and used it as a vehicle for themselves. Now, Montstrille seemed to be in a similar state.

“I heard that your agent is dead, did Sang-hyeon become the agent?”

“I should say it’s similar. For now, Sang-hyeon is the only medium that can carry out my will instead.”

“How come you look so shabby for something like that.”

“I admit it.”

Monstrill said helplessly, raising the corners of his mouth.

“I’m probably the weakest star in this world right now, except for you. The source from which I can project my power into this world is now almost cut off.”

“Still, you’re making a weak noise while going up to the stars.”

“Even a star cannot fully project its power into this distant world. Whether it’s an agent or an apostle, its power is just a shadow cast by the stars.”

Monstrill struggled to lift his finger. The tiny spiders that made up her body slowly disintegrated like grains of sand and then regrouped.

“I don’t have the power, I don’t have the power, so it’s embarrassing to even call myself a star.”

“Why did you become like that? Because of me?”

“I know, you know.”

Monstril chuckled and opened her mouth.

“It’s a joke. It’s actually an excuse. Actually, I should have fallen out of this world and fell out. Like many other stars who dropped out. I was forced to remain.”

Monstrill clicked her tongue in disappointment.

“The use of the widow’s spider to dig for crystal flowers, and to go all-in on you, were all gambles to reverse the situation.”

I thought that the widow’s spider’s death while trying to dig for crystal flowers was just a kind of play, and that seems to have been one of Montstril’s struggles.

However, Montstrill yielded to Hyunmoo instead of returning the crystal.

She must have been a gamble for her.

“gambling?”

“Because I believed you would be a game changer.”

Hyunmoo chuckled.

“You may be a star, but you don’t seem to have a knack for gambling. How is that different from rolling a dice believing that the highest number will come out unconditionally? Do you think I’ll fall for you if you give it to me?”

“You’re scolding me for a lot of topics.”

“You have to say something.”

In response to Hyunmoo’s reply, Monstrill pulled her gaze away and let out a long sigh. When she wanted to regret it, she opened her mouth to Monstril again.

“To be honest, I don’t know if it really mattered.”

“I don’t mind?”

“The best thing is to live with you, but if I have to die, it might be better to die because of you.”

Monstril lifted her slender fingers helplessly and tapped Hyunmoo’s hand. But Hyunmoo did not hold the hand.

Montstril’s fingers dang helplessly in the air. She smiled bitterly and whispered.

“My agent’s name is Yumin.”

Hyunmoo’s face twitched.

“Even though my agent’s body may have already died, I was still your lover. Kang Hyunmoo. I don’t want to lose ugly. Let’s win with me or break with me.”
