Chapter 142: Ghost City (6)

Seol Young pulled out the soft sword from his waist.

Seo Geom-rang cannot be here. That must be a ghost in his form.

Calm down now.

Zaha reached out his hand and grabbed the sword.

Seol Geom-rang, he appears at the wrong time this time too. Seol Young-rang had just recalled his bad memories and is now sensitive.

Then he rebuked Seol Young, who was struggling to pull out the sword.

Still, do you want to pretend that this is all a mistake and kill the leader of a troop by using this as an opportunity?

Its not like that

Seol Young pulled the sword back.

I was trying to find out who he was by attacking him. Real or not.

I am real.

Seo Geom said.

Looking at your words and how you act, Seol Young-rang is also real. I have no desire to fight, so dont doubt me.

Seol Geom-rang, are you sulking?

NO!

Seol Young-rang was surprised when an unexpected person appeared. How can you be here, though? Shouldnt you be training upstream?

That

Seo Geom hesitated.

I was concerned because something odd was happening close by. And after the High Governor and Seol Young entered this place, I was worried that other people might be dragged in by mistake. So I left things behind to Gyun Yun-rang and came to check it out

But?

Seo Geom turned his gaze.

I saw my Hyung in here.

Seo Jun-rang?

Seol Young and Zaha both asked as they didnt expect it, and Zaha said,

I see. It attracts people that way.

Yes. It is quite embarrassing that I came here to protect the people only to be dragged in

Seo Geom replied with an embarrassed face.

When I entered through the gate, my brother was gone, and I tried to leave, but I couldnt find the way out. So I just continued to move forward

They could understand what had happened.

The two of them first explored the laws of this space. It was because the Lord of this place had a clear goal.

But Seo Geom had nothing of the sort. He just came inside and killed everything.

What is this place? There are too many ghosts and other things I have never seen before here.

They must be from the Devil Lair.

Devil Lair?

There is such a thing. Seo Geom-rang is amazing. You thought it was strange, and yet you killed everything you thought was odd? That must be why you have arrived at level 6 so fast.

Zaha turned the card around Seo Geoms neck and looked at it. Then he also touched his jacket.

Nice, Seo Geom-rang. I wanted to be a commoner too. I wanted to be normal. This special life is a bit boring to me

If it was Seol Young, he would have ignored it, but it was Seo Geom.

Do you want it?

He was seriously ready to undress but then halted. At that time, Seol Young was looking at Zaha with a straight face.

Seo Geom glanced at Seol Young and said,

But I found something on the way here

He untied the sword from his waist.

It was disguised to be a big and crude sword, and it didnt match his personality. In addition to his own half Dragon sword, there was another sword that was clearly hidden in the large sheath.

It was camouflaged in a different way, but it could be recognized.

Blue Rainbow.

?

Seol Young was surprised, and even Zaha was also surprised.

Isnt that Seol Young-rangs sword?

Yes. As I was coming through the gate, I found a pile of confiscated things. I kept a close eye on where they were taking it and secretly pulled it out.

Seol Young was speechless. Zaha looked at him and said,

You were in a hurry to see your dead Hyung. In the meantime, you took care of Blue Rainbow. Seo Geom-rang is the only person here who cares for Seol Young-rang.

Ah, no. I just It would have been necessary to carry out the mission, and a Hwarangs sword being possessed by monsters like these is

Seo Geom held out the sword.

Here.

Seol Young hesitated, but he accepted it.

Thank you.

Zaha frowned.

Is that all you have to say? After Seo Geom-rang worked so hard to get the sword back? You should speak properly.

N-No. It wasnt too much work

Thank you, Seo Geom-rang.

Seol Young bowed his head.

The Blue Rainbow Sword is as precious as my life. Youve told me that you owe me a lot since the last incident, but this is enough.

Seo Geom was surprised. He didnt think Seol Young would actually say anything more. The way he spoke was blunt, but it was a lot of improvement for the Ghost Demon King.

Regardless of how he looked at him, Seol Young carefully touched the Blue Sword.

I am glad I found you so quickly. But since its a rule here that the lowly people cannot hold swords

He handed it to Zaha.

I get it.

Zaha adjusted the sword and the sheath so that both of the swords could fit in.

Its a rule. I am not sure what is happening

Seo Geom crinkled his nose.

Well, there is someone who has been watching us since earlier.

He told Zaha and Seol Young in a low voice, making them turn around by pretending to look elsewhere.

Someone was really watching them from behind a curtain, and it was a huge monster that looked like a rock.

It is starting now.

Zaha glanced at the two and moved ahead first. Here in this realm, there werent any good items being sold.

All of them were clearly things that had been stolen. The three of them walked side by side as if they had some business and calmly moved further inside.

The gigantic monster had followed them at a certain distance. It was certain that it had already marked its prey.

Where should we finish it?

Zaha took the lead and lifted the curtain on a certain place. He thought it was empty, but it wasnt. There was a monster bound to a table, and a horrid thing was happening.

They are in the midst of eating.

He immediately closed it and went elsewhere.

They went a little further away and found an empty place. It was really messy inside, as if something had just eaten or hunted there, and so the three of them went in.

Before the curtain even went down, the monster that was chasing after them went inside.

At that moment, two swords flew.

There were two auras shining, one in gold and one in white, and they pierced its body. At the same time, a soft silver sword danced like a whip.

Puak!

As the three attacks hit it in succession, it split open like a rock. Was that the end? No.

Something strange came out of its shell. It looked like several naked people that had been sewn together.

What is that now?

Seo Geom, who had a clean personality, looked like he would vomit at the sight of it.

Ohhh

The monster waved its hand and rushed at them, but Seol Youngs soft sword quickly slashed its several arms in succession. At the same time, Zahas sword split it in half.

Thud.

The monster collapsed in despair.

How can such a hideous monster

Seo Geom, who looked back with a frown, was taken aback. Seol Young and Zaha were searching its corpse.

Is there money?

I guess so, but I dont see anything.

Seol Young had taken about 200 coins, and he waited

How come there was no response?

The two picked up their cards and looked at them, but nothing changed. Seo Geom, who was trying to ignore what they did, asked,

Why? What is wrong?

Zaha answered.

Even though we killed this one, it doesnt seem like it counts. Originally, things like this should raise our level.

Did we do something wrong?

Seol Young checked the corpse again.

At that time, the curtain was lifted, and those dressed in dark, bloody clothes tried to enter. They stopped when they saw someone inside.

Ah, we are done.

Zaha said, along with Seol Young and Seo Geom.

Those dressed in black went inside. They didnt seem to care about the monsters corpse. The three of them stood there for a while and secretly observed them.

Through the fluttering curtain, there were black men.

Here.

One of them said that and took off the bloody clothes of the person next to him. It wasnt a person, but a monster bound by shackles.

Good.

Another one in black took over the monster and handed him money. At that moment, black smoke rose and was sucked into the card of the person who sold the monster.

!

Zaha looked at Seol Young.

That must be the true Ghost City. They had to catch one and sell it to raise their level. The monster they had been chasing earlier didnt try to eat them. It wanted to catch them alive.

Then.

Those dressed in black began to move after the deal. The three of them hurriedly got out of there. They went to the corner behind a pillar and stopped.

Since this is the situation, we have no choice but to make a deal and raise our levels.

Zaha looked at the two.

Good. Of the two of you, Ill have to sell the one who doesnt listen.

The two were shocked.

You dont need to do that and sell me.

Seo Geom said,

Isnt Seol Young-rang going to get out of here only after he ends the investigation of the supernatural calamity? I will be sold, but I can escape. If you keep repeating that, then your levels will rise to some extent.

.

Seol Young looked at him.

If it were Seo Geom in the past, he would have never said such words. Rather, he would have suggested selling out Seol Young.

But now he wanted to be the one to be sold?

His change was amazing.

But

Of the two of them, did he seem to think that Seol Young was the one who wouldnt listen?

Even if that were true, it didnt feel right. Seol Young bluntly said,

Being sold because of not listening.

Zaha looked at the two of them.

Of course, I thought you would pass it on to each other, but to take it up

He looked like he admired Seo Geom, but that was just for a moment.

But do you both think you have the value to be a commodity in here?

He asked.

Seo Geom looked puzzled.

Arent I enough? I am the head of the Blue Dragons, and I know how to play the flute

When I came here, everyone wanted to catch me.

Seol Young said as if wanting to say, Do not be fooled.

Right. 100 concessions make one commodity.

Zaha said.

To get out of here, shouldnt all three of us have a level 3 or a much higher level? If one of us is sold, when will that person have the chance to raise his level? Do you plan on staying here alone?

The two only realized it then.

He must have been joking about selling someone.

Seo Geom asked,

Then, should we take turns selling them?

No. I have a good idea.

Zaha looked at Seol Youngs hand, or to be precise, at the ring on his hand.

Seol Young was surprised.

Senior Oni?
