I Became a Demon Hunter in the Game - Chapter 88

The chair screamed at the bloated body, but the person sitting on it was casually biting the pig’s hind legs.  

 

“Isn’t it time to come up with an answer by now?”  

 

“It must be tomorrow for Froll to come back,” 

 

Korun Gong, the owner of the city of Korun, scooped up the last bit of flesh from the pig’s hind legs and tossed it onto the plate.  

 

And leaning back on the chair, Korun Gong turned his head and looked at the man who was drinking. Korun Gong, who gave his gaze to the man who was only drinking without snacks, opened his mouth.

 

“Ver, do you need anything more?”  

 

“No.” 

 

It’s been half a year since the person named Ver came to this place. He was the one who raised his son from a disease and saved him from dying.  

 

The son, who had been dying, is said to have borrowed the power of the devil, as he came to life. However, all he wanted was a space for alcohol and research.  

 

“If you need anything, tell me.” 

 

Without answering, Korun Gong stood up, nodding his head and looking at him tilting the bottle again.

 

“Then go and have fun inside. Korun looked at the woman standing behind Ver, then swallowed his saliva and went back to his room. After Korun left, Ver opened his mouth.

 

“How is it going?”

 

The woman standing behind Ver politely answered.

 

“Now it’s about 80.”

 

“Isn’t it too slow?”

 

“It was a new attempt, so I had no choice but to do it,” said Ver with a smirk at those words.  

 

“I heard that you have lost several fingers, but I have to take this opportunity to attend.”  

 

“If it is complete, it is possible enough.” 

 

“Yes.  hurry up.”

 

The woman bowed her head and stepped back, and Ver emptied his glass and walked to the window. 

 

While looking down at the city with a happy smile, Ver saw something flying. He went back to feel the last thing he saw.  

 

In addition to allowing Diego to ride Tom, Ed also got a ring that could completely kill his presence. He knew that the cloak would block even a ranged attack, so this time they decided to move together.  

 

To be safe, it’s best to go alone with Jerry on his shoulder, but if you do that, it’s difficult to properly search for those with demonic powers.  Jerry opened its mouth and couldn’t speak.

 

There are more than ten people with demon powers, but there was a problem communicating with Jerry.  

 

Besides, Diego’s skills aren’t the same as before, and he trusted Juan and decided to go with him.  

 

He crossed the walls of the inner city of Korun and went inside. It is said that they are a family with a reputation and they are resistant, but how did they get drunk with the power of the devil?  

 

As he was moving, hiding in the shadows, Diego raised his hand and pointed.  

 

“There’s a man with demonic powers over there.” 

 

As Ed looked where Diego was pointing, he saw a man approaching through the window.

 

“That guy?”  

 

“Yes.” 

 

Ed fired the arrow without thinking.  

 

The person who came out of the window bowed his head to see if he sensed the arrow flying, but as soon as the arrow hit his forehead, he fell backward.  

 

Judging by the experience points coming in, it didn’t seem like he had a blood manastone.  

 

“And the rest of it?”  

 

“One is up there, and most are in the basement.”

 

Ed thought for a moment.  

 

He could not be undetected if he wanted to enter the castle’s basement.  It’s better to start from the top rather than to miss others.  

 

“From the top,” said Diego, nodding his head.  

 

“Follow me.” 

 

Diego ran first, then realized that Tom was now a ghost and ran vertically up the wall. 

 

Ed ran after Tom, kicked the wall, put his finger in the gap, and climbed up like a spider climbing the wall.

 

So, at once, he climbed up to the window at the top of the castle, and Tom was standing with his body fixed to the wall, Ed opened the window and ran inside.  

 

He knew it the moment he saw it. A huge pig, incomparable to the previous one, was taking off his clothes on the bed and was turning his head, and a bead was stuck in his forehead. He approached the woman and slapped her on the chin.

 

It was said that there was only one person with the power of the devil, so the woman could only subdue it before making a fuss.  

 

Ed pulled the vials from the brow of the fallen pig and came out through the window, where Diego was waiting, his impression now fixed. 

 

“Things that had been gathering in the basement started to move,” he said.  

 

“You’re smart. Go ahead.” 

 

Tom ran down the wall. Following Tom, Ed just jumped off. When Ed got up, Tom started running down the hall.

 

Tom and Jerry, with just the two of them, Diego was proving his worth.  

 

It was the tower on the east side of the inner city where Diego ran first and guided him.  

 

It was a separate tower with strict boundaries, but it seemed to be able to meet without having to stand because it was said that it was moving from the inside.  

 

However, it is difficult to see a good figure when the demonic powers are released. Indeed, as a scream was heard inside, the people guarding the front door were also bewildered.  

 

Ed watched with Diego for a moment, hiding in the shadows of the castle buildings.  

 

Soon the door broke and someone came out. It had the shape of a human, but the moment he saw it, he knew that it was not a human being.

 

“It’s a ghoul, but it looks like it’s not just a ghoul.” 

 

Ed fired an arrow as it was. When the arrow hit the head of the ghoul who was chasing the fleeing guards screaming, 

 

“Help!”, their heads tilted back, their bodies overturned, and they fell to the floor.  

 

There were ten ghouls that came out like that.  Seven arrows were fired with one breath, and the ghouls were rising with arrows lodged in their heads.  

 

“You can’t just use arrows.”

 

Ed calmly injected magical energy into the freezing bow.  

 

The total amount of magic has also increased, and there is no need to conserve energy in the field where the regeneration power of magic has also increased.  

 

However, in order to inject magic power and to use it properly, the rate of fire has to be reduced.  

 

Only three feet in one breath.  

 

Still, the arrows that were shot like that certainly overpowered the opponent. The running ghoul got an arrow in the head and was pushed back to the tower and started to freeze along with the wall.  

 

So, when those three ghouls were dealt with, they left the others behind and ran towards Ed, but it was quite a distance.  Ed didn’t let the distance narrow but shot the ghouls with an arrow.  

 

It was not difficult to deal with those who lost their reason and remained only wild.

 

Thanks to his superhuman strength, the last ghoul collapsed with its head frozen in front of Ed’s feet. The rest didn’t even come close.  

 

“Are there any more left?”  

 

“Yeah, something’s running away over there,” 

 

Ed said, turning his head.  

 

There was someone running away. Seeing the back of his cloak flapping and hammering, Edgar pulled the string of arrows.  

 

“Is it okay?” 

 

The distance is quite good, but Ed put a bow of arrows without hesitation.

 

It was a woman who deviated from Ed’s crossroads from time to time, but there was no way he could miss it. 

 

Again, the arrow that flew into the back of the woman’s head pierced the experience points.  

 

But what are they doing, were they making reinforced ghouls instead of ordinary ghouls in the Korun family estate?  

 

For reinforced ghouls, there were instructions on how to make them in Thein’s Demon Catalogue.  

 

It is said that it would be difficult to actually make them. At first, someone had to create a ghoul, soak the ghoul in human blood, and use dozens of medicinal herbs to strengthen it.  

 

It is said that as much as it is difficult to create, the ghouls created in that way have a power that overwhelms ordinary ghouls. 

 

The ghoul died even before approaching Ed.

 

Ed sighed and looked down at all the ghouls. 

 

Ed, who was looking at the already frozen dead ghouls, recovered the arrow and moved his steps.  

 

The frightened guards stared at Ed. When the ghouls broke the door and popped out, the guards, who were terrified and their legs relaxed, could not even speak to Ed.  

 

Because he was the one who subdued all those fearsome ghouls all by himself on the spot.  Ed went past them, recovered all the arrows, and looked inside the tower’s broken door.  

 

People were torn to pieces by the ghouls, and blood was everywhere.  Anyway, it’s hard to see a clean scene when you’re associated with the devil.  

 

“Is it Crossel?”

 

Ed murmured and left the guards and returned to Diego.  

 

“Let’s check the guys we killed earlier.” 

 

Ed was about to go with Diego, but when he heard a scream, he quickly became annoyed.  

 

It was only then that it became difficult to enter the castle.  

 

Ed clicked his tongue lightly and went with Diego to the last woman who had died. Diego looked through the woman’s arms but found only two of her vials, but nothing else to recover from her. 

 

They were the ones with less than half the experience points of the fingers.  The enhanced ghouls had good experience, but still had a long way to go to level up.  

 

Ed saw the castle stagger and went back to the inn with Diego.  

 

Korun Gong died, and the guards found him, and after a while, he couldn’t get out of the castle.  

 

In the past, he didn’t care because it was all over if he just removed his body, but now there is Dark, so he had to get out before the castle door closes.

 

After reclaiming Dark from the inn, Ed went to the castle gate with Diego.  

 

The guards at the gates stared at Ed as he approached him.  

 

“The gates must be closed soon. What’s going on?” 

 

Ed threw a silver coin. The guard took it and frowned.  

 

“What’s going on?” 

 

This time, a pouch flew at them. The gatekeeper, who had received it, glanced at the pouch, looked at the flashing silver coins, and coughed in vain.

 

“Hmm, let’s go before the door closes.” 

 

Ed ran without saying anything.  

 

The happy gatekeeper immediately sent his soldiers to close the door. And the cavalry who ran out of the city after a while to guard the gate shouted.  

 

“Has anyone come to this place?” 

 

The gatekeeper answered, hiding the money bag he had received.  

 

“No. No one has come and the gates were closed.”  

 

“The lord has been assassinated. So, keep the gates strictly shut and make sure no one escapes!”

 

The guard, who had spoken so far and looked at the cavalry who turned around, felt that he should never open his mouth.  

 

If the people who escaped a while ago were the assassins of Gong, they would have to pay the price for missing them.  As his cavalry moved away, the guard gave the gathered soldiers the silver coins and exchanged glances.  

 

A commotion ensued after the Korun city was attacked, and it could be heard from afar. Ed left the commotion behind and rode Dark.  

 

It is very dangerous to ride a horse on a dark road, but Dark moved marvelously in the dark.  

 

In an instant, the city of Korun faded away, leaving even the commotion behind.
