Kill the Hero

Chapter 105

Under the dark night sky, a group of people slowly enter an old fashioned car one by one.

The number of people that entered the car was quite high, as many as 11 of them. However even though the car was filled, it didn't seem to be filled by people.

Instead it seemed to lack any warmth, as it was filled by ghosts instead of people.

This wasn't an illusion.

"The skeletons look like real people with their faces covered. I couldn't even tell if they were real or not."

It wasn't people who had entered the car, it was skeletons wearing masks on their faces.

"It's really amazing how real they seem to be."

The masks were truly sophisticated.

They were so sophisticated that it was almost impossible to tell if the skeletons were people or not without touching.

"So weird…"

Lee Jin-ah who was sitting in the driver's seat, stretched out his hand to the man sitting beside him.

He was trying to pinch their cheek.

At that moment however, the man in the passenger seat turned to give Lee Jin-ah a piercing gaze instead of saying anything.

That look was enough.

"…would you hit me if I pinched your cheek right now for fun?"

He wanted to prove that the man was Kim Woo-jin.

"Damn, you're too dangerous for me to mess around."

As he stared at those eyes, Lee Jin-ah moved his hand from beside Kim Woo-jin's face and placed it back on the steering wheel.

"So, how was your mission?"

"It was great."

As he responded briefly, Kim Woo-jin checked his face in the rearview mirror.

Sam Oliver's face looked back at him.

'It's really sophisticated.'

As Isaac Ivanov he had already experienced the sophistication of the mask, but the feeling of wearing the mask as a fictional character and as someone you killed were very different.

'Now he just needs to handle the aftermath.'

This was all part of Oh Se-chan's plan.

Oh Se-chan intended to make Sam Oliver a traitor after he'd been killed by Kim Woo-jin.

It was the same as when Kim Woo-jin had killed Kim Je-hoon in the past.

However the difficulty and the scale this time was very different from the time with Kim Je-hoon.

Unlike then, Kim Woo-jin had gotten the masks for Sam Oliver and his men from Oh Se-chan since by using the Book of the Undead, he could summon the skeletons outside of the dungeon immediately.

So Kim Woo-jin acted as if Sam Oliver and his men betrayed the Frontier Guild.

'I've done my part.'

Kim Woo-jin simply had to wait and rest while Oh Se-chan created, edited and distributed what he had to.

Of course, Kim Woo-jin had no intentions of resting.

"It was done well so let's move on to the next step."

Lee Jin-ah frowned at those words.

"What else?"

"I've graduated from the 2 Floor Dungeons."

"Graduated?"

Lee Jin-ah's expression changed when he heard that.

"You're going to enter a 3 Floor Dungeon?"

Players had no choice but to start entering 3 Floor dungeons when they reached level 60.

However it wasn't a requirement to reach level 60 before entering 3 Floor Dungeons.

Even level 50 players could enter dungeons that had three or more floors.

It was just that players used their common sense and didn't do crazy things like entering 3 Floor Dungeons before they reached level 60.

"Huh? Are you really going to enter a 3 Floor Dungeon?"

The problem was that Kim Woo-jin didn't seem to have the common sense of ordinary human beings.

Lee Jin-ah knew that if Kim Woo-jin intended to enter a 3 Floor Dungeon, then he would also have to enter it.

"You don't need to go into 3 Floor Dungeons until you reach level 60, so there is no need to hurry."

"Tha-, that's right."

Fortunately common sense finally came out of Kim Woo-jin's mouth, causing Lee Jin-ah to sigh in relief.

"So we're gonna go somewhere we can only go before level 60."

"Huh?"

Kim Woo-jin didn't bother to explain to the confused Lee Jin-ah.

'Before returning to the past no one could clear it but…'

He couldn't help but recall.

'But as I am now, I can clear it."

A 2 Floor Dungeon that no one could clear before he came to the past.

…

Shortly after Kim Woo-jin left the dungeon, the Frontier Guild reported it to the Phoenix Guild.

Kim Woo-jin and Sam Oliver attacked the dungeon and lied that they were staying at the designated place.

It was a natural step.

They couldn't say that there was a traitor from their guild that they were trying to capture to save their boss' ass.

From the Frontier Guild's perspective, even after lying, the best option available, was for them to quickly mobilize as many personnel as they could to secure Kim Woo-jin and the traitorous Sam Oliver.

-The Frontier Guild isn't moving.

However the Frontier Guild's reaction was not the best one.

-Kim Woo-jin, as you said, Naomi Spell did not report it to the top and is instead trying to handle it on her own.

Naomi Spell, who was in charge of this mission, wanted to handle this all on her own without reporting to the executives.

-It's strange.

It didn't make sense.

If it was simply Sam Oliver's betrayal, then Naomi Spell had no reason to handle it all on her own.

On the contrary, Naomi Spell's decision to handle this alone without reporting it was something that would definitely be penalized.

-It's a strange thing for someone to do for no reason.

In other words, there must be something unusual that made Naomi Spell act in that way.

-Maybe Naomi Spell is really a plant from the Messiah Guild as you expected.

For example, Naomi Spell was the Messiah Guild's contact point within the Frontier Guild and secretly attempted to scratch the Messiah Guild's itch.

-We can't be sure.

Of course, what was revealed so far wasn't enough to prove that Naomi Spell was truly the Messiah Guild's agent.

Moreover Kim Woo-jin and Oh Se-chan were well aware of how dangerous such accusations could be.

-Still there wouldn't be smoke without fire.

But it was clear that it was a possibility.

It was possible that the Messiah Guild and the Frontier Guild weren't a group and that in fact the Messiah Guild was secretly using the Frontier Guild!

-Well, the Frontier Guild's plan has already been ruined.

Even if it wasn't, the Frontier Guild would still need to revise their plan since Kim Woo-jin had left the dungeon.

-This won't die down until Park Yong-wan comes back alive.

If Park Yong-wan survived and then made contact with Kim Woo-jin and Sam Oliver then that would put the Frontier Guild in a very painful position.

-In the meantime you can go to a proper dungeon and spend some time while I arrange for a ghost called Sam Oliver to play around with Naomi Spell.

In other words, from now on they would win the fight as long as they bought time till Park Yong-wan came out from the dungeon.

-Splendid.

It was always pleasurable to be able to toast early.

However Oh Se-chan's voice was far from that of someone who was basking in their victory, and more like someone who was reporting news.

-If you hadn't mentioned that dungeon in Taiwan, I would've met with you and even bought you a double portion of jjajangmyeon.

That's why Kim Woo-jin had no intentions of spending the time quietly.

As mentioned above, he just needed to find a suitable place to lay low until Park Yong-wan came out of the dungeon.

And Kim Woo-jin had chosen a 2 Floor Dungeon in Taiwan as his place of seclusion.

-But why there?

The A+ rank Dungeon, Frozen Forest of Violence.

-Why was it failed 23 times? Even the Messiah Guild failed it four times.

The dungeon had been failed 23 times and even the Messiah Guild had to temporarily abandon it after they failed it four times.

In fact it was a place that mankind had given up attacking and even the metaphor 'hell' was a match.

That was why it was given another nickname, 'Gate of Hell'.

-Didn't you know that?

"I know it well."

Kim Woo-jin knew it better than anyone else.

Even up to the point where Kim Woo-jin was betrayed and killed by Lee Se-jun, the Frozen Forest of Violence had not been cleared.

In addition the confirmed number of attacks by the Messiah Guild had reached 43.

After that, Taiwan itself could not confirm the number of attacks because it had become a den of monsters.

Anyway that was the characteristics of a dungeon.

In front of the level limit, even the savior of the world Lee Se-jun can do nothing.

"If I don't clear it now, then the dungeon will never be cleared in the future.And there is no chance better than this. After I become level 60 I won't be able to challenge it either."

If Kim Woo-jin didn't clear it now then the dungeon would be left uncleared, just like in Kim Woo-jin's past life.

"We would never know what is in it."

That was the reason.

Kim Woo-jin had decided to make it his stage before graduating from 2 Floor Dungeons.

"There might be something that would help in our war against the Messiah Guild so we can't bypass it without knowing."

'The Messiah Guild is stronger than they realise. I don't know for sure if I could be able to kill Lee Se-jun.'

It was because there was not much hope from what Kim Woo-jin knew.

Of course, this didn't mean that he was betting his life on a chance.

-Even if I stop you, you'd still go in.

The basis for his decision was quite clear.

-So what are your odds?

"If you're being generous, then about 10 percent."

-Haha.

Oh Se-chan let out a hearty laugh.

This was because he knew what Kim Woo-jin's 10 percent meant.

-So it's a 10 percent chance of failing it.

In response to that, Kim Woo-jin smiled.

'There is nothing that can face me in two floors as long as I have Percival's Spear.'

Percival's Spear was the item that gave Kim Woo-jin the confidence to clear the dungeon that no one had ever cleared before.

-Alright, then I'll set the stage for you. If you use Isaac Ivanov's name then it'll be easy. There's no way that the hero who saved the Messiah Guild would object to entering a dungeon that no one ever cleared.

Eventually, Oh Se-chan accepted Kim Woo-jin's determination.

-Is there anything you need?

The answer was simple.

"We should send a letter to the Messiah Guild. Filled with sincerity."

-A letter?

"There's no reason to do something that even the Messiah Guild failed to do, for free."
