Seunghee Moon continued speaking slowly.
"If what the wizard says is correct, are you okay with the number of people here?"
"hmm… … ."
"If you need more support… … ."
I thought for a moment. Need more support?
No, you don't need it.
If the ones that appear end up being ghouls, I can handle them alone, even if there are two hundred of them waiting instead of a hundred.
As the number of people increases, confusion will only increase and more hassle will occur.
However, he told Moon Seung-hee for a slightly different reason.
"no. "If you wait too long for support, the people below you won't be able to hold on."
Seunghee Moon's expression turned slightly pale.
"then… … ."
"First of all, we will resolve this without significantly changing Team Leader Kwak Dae-yong's plan."
"All right."
At this point, I thought there would definitely be a request to save the person underground, but... … Moon Seung-hee stood up without saying those words.
"Then I hope you can resolve it well."
"I do my best."
Moon Seung-hee said a brief greeting and slowly walked out of the temporary guard post.
"Ready!"
The sound of chanting was heard around the same time as Moon Seung-hee leaving.
It seems that Kwak Dae-yong and his men are ready.
'I guess I can keep it a secret.'
I don't want to talk so loudly at night... … .
Well, it probably doesn't matter.
This place should not be thought of as similar to apartment complexes in other cities.
I don't know what will happen after this complex is completed, but right now there is nothing around here.
Moreover, even if strange noises are heard around this dangerous and unstable Imjin River, no one in Paju will care.
If I get on Kwak Dae-yong's nerves any more, there won't be anything left for me... … She slowly got up and walked to his side.
The place where Kwak Dae-yong and his men are gathered is the innermost part of the temporary guard post.
A large spiral ramp installed for vehicles going down to the underground parking lot.
You can see a huge barricade blocking the entrance.
An improvised barbed wire fence with multiple layers of crude steel plates reinforced on top of it.
'You installed the barricade well.'
To be honest, it is more like a rag that was somehow patched together as a last resort rather than a decent defensive wall.
Blood and flesh flowing down on the barricade, and finger fragments that appeared to belong to ghouls.
There must have been various sacrifices made to stop the ghouls pouring out.
And the people gathered in front of the barricade.
There are a total of 20 people, including Kwak Dae-yong.
Most of them are extras, so their impressions are blurry, but there are a few faces I remember.
It is very unusual to see people wearing straight suits and armor and weapons lined up in rows.
But their eyes looking at me are filled with distrust, just like Kwak Dae-yong did at first.
They whispered to each other little by little as they watched Kwak Dae-yong and me, but their voices were heard despite the considerable distance due to their extremely sensitive perception.
"What, you're wearing a mask?"
"Hey, is that okay?"
"Where on earth did you get that bastard?"
"It looks completely dirty… … ?"
"Aren't you fooled?"
Tsk… … What does this have to do with being corrupt with a wizard?
Although he has improved a few stats with artifacts, his physical condition has not changed, so it seems that he is not very trustworthy in the eyes of those who got a job due to his physical skills.
"ruler! "The wizard has arrived!"
Anyway, when I arrived, Kwak Dae-yong shouted again to concentrate the troops.
"Everyone to their positions!"
"To location!"
The troops moved in unison and moved to the entrance to the underground parking lot, which was blocked by barricades.
I was a little worried seeing them leisurely chatting behind each other's backs, but when it came time to move around, they seemed to be in pretty good order.
After confirming that preparations were complete, Kwak Dae-yong came up to me and said.
"Now prepare the magic. "As soon as you give the signal, we will open the barricade."
"You can open it right away."
"Okay, then… … yes?"
"It's ready, so open it right away."
Are you kidding me?
I don't think you did anything?
Are you still confused? The man is the man.
It felt like the words were squirming under his throat, but Kwak Dae-yong eventually endured them. Great job, Kwak Dae-yong!
He turned his head with exaggerated movements and shouted at his subordinates.
"Hey, open the door! "Door open!"
"Door open!"
"Door open!"
Hearing Kwak Dae-yong's shout, his subordinates near the barricade quickly repeated and opened the barricade.
Gigigigigigigi-.
The double- and triple-reinforced barricade opens with a cacophony of unpleasant metal sounds.
Okay, is this a start?
I am of a different class from the moderate wizards that Daeyong Kwak has seen so far.
[Quick activation]
[Catalyst supplement]
[double chanting]
[Casting omitted]
All spells can be activated immediately without separate casting, seals, catalysts, or chanting.
The magic power that flows out forms a magic circle with a consistent shape according to my command.
It is a huge magic circle filled with runes of blazing flames.
[Unique function of the S-class accessory 'Corrupted Flame Ring'. 'Red Element Concentration' and 'Fire Knowledge Passion' are activated.
// Concentrate red element: The effect of all fire-type magic increases by 50%.
// Passion of knowledge of fire: Understanding of 'fire magic' increases.]
Barricades were opened.
A strange sound coming from underneath the underground parking lot.
-Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
- Kyahahahahahahahahah!!!
Bizarre creatures emerge from the darkness.
"Over there, over there!"
As the security team members turn their heads, the light from the lights on their shoulders converges to one point.
Terrible monsters that resemble humans, but can never be called humans.
A bizarre head resembling a dog.
A viciously twisted muscular body.
And sharp nails developed into deadly forms.
It's a ghoul.
- Meeeeeeeee!!
The number is four.
No, six, nine, then two more followed, making it eleven!
Ghouls hiding in the darkness around the entrance pour out at once.
[A bizarre shape appears before your eyes… … .]
I understand, so get out of the way!
I ignored the message window that appeared in front of me and completed the spell.
[Fireball]
Grrrrrrrrrrr!!
A huge ball of flame is created in front of both my hands, which are outstretched towards the popping ghoul.
[…] … That horrible image and nauseating body odor will haunt your mind... … .]
Skip the nagging and fire the flames!
Whiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!
A huge fireball shoots from my hand and flies through the air.
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!
- Kkkkkkk!!!
Those who can scream are the lucky ones. Most of the ghouls that jumped out to the front evaporated without even being able to scream.
Pajijijik-.
[System: The exclusive attribute 'Abyss Madness' is activated. Nullifies the ghoul's fear-inducing effect.]
Oh, did you fail the sanity check?
However, thanks to the insanity characteristics of the abyss, madness or frightening incidents do not occur.
At the same time, I twisted both my hands outstretched in front of me.
'You said you shouldn't cause harm to those around you, right?'
[Flame manipulation]
[Spell Enhancement: Maximization]
Hwaaaaaah!!!
He forcibly grabs and twists the flames that are burning fiercely and spreading in all directions.
It is an incredibly dazzling sight.
The surging flames turned into a terrible vortex of flames that continued to converge inward.
Babababababababa!!
The darkness and shadows surrounding me completely disappear.
Before our eyes, a huge flame is dancing, burning as if it will burn our pupils.
"Oh my God!"
The waiting troops all gasped when they saw the flames I had created.
[People around you are inspired by your heroic deeds. Temporarily exempts the judgment of reason from people around you.]
But this is just the beginning.
Gwagwagwagwagwagwagwa!!!
The huge flame burning with my magic power turned into a wave of fire and poured down into the underground parking lot.
From now on, speed is everything.
"you you… … ."
But in the meantime, Daeyong Kwak is just looking at me with his mouth open.
"Team leader, what are you doing?"
"what… … what?"
"Are you not going to rush in?"
Kwak Dae-yong, who had been dazed and boasting about the size of his mouth, finally came to his senses.
"Ugh, I see. What are you doing, you guys? Everyone rush in!"
"inrush!"
Not the military, mercenaries, or troubleshooters, but just full-time employees of a large company start running with guns and knives in front of them.
What needs to be done is clear.
Kill all the ghouls you see and rescue the survivors trapped underground.
"let's go!"
The underground parking lot, where electrical equipment has not yet been installed, is very dark.
Although there are a few lights attached to the shoulders and weapons of the security team members, these alone cannot completely erase the darkness and fear that spreads across this large underground parking lot.
That's why I intentionally brought up spells accompanied by bright light.
'It would be better if it had good durability.'
[Sphere of Radiance]
[Spell Enhancement: Multiple Casting]
Seven light clumps are created at my fingertips.
Shhhhh… … .
The light clumps scatter in all directions in a large circular orbit and rotate, illuminating the interior of the underground parking lot.
-Keeeeeeeeee!
"Over there, open fire!"
Dudadadadadada!!!
Ghouls fall from a barrage of fire from a distance.
Because there was a condition that the scene should not be damaged as much as possible, the security team members were cautious in their shooting, and as a result, some ghouls came through the fire net and came close.
- Gyaaaaaaa!!
But those guys... … .
bang! Kwasik! Quang!
This is Kwak Dae-yong.
When he swung the hammer filled with magic, the body of the ghoul caught in his attack was shattered as if it had no bones.
"Hurray!"
Kwasik, baba bak! bang!
Even if you are not Kwak Dae-yong, melee experts move around the surrounding area and eliminate ghouls.
I can't just play either.
[Splendor of Fomalhaut]
Fomalhaut is the god of fire and the place where the [Living Flame], the scorching supernova itself, resides.
He summons his authority to this damp, dark underground parking lot.
Well, even so, the end result of this type of magic is that extremely hot fire just pours out. The form of fire varies slightly depending on the type of magic.
Gwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa!!!
The flames I summoned turned into the shape of a giant bull made of flames and swirled around the interior of the underground parking lot.
- Kwaaaaaa!!
- Kkkkk!!
Although it could not be spread recklessly in order to avoid affecting underground structures, the giant flame bull slowly but surely devours the ghouls.
"Oh, that's huge!?"
"You were an amazing wizard, right?"
My title, which was 'such a bastard' just before the start, was promoted to 'amazing wizard'.
I am not interested in how people evaluate me.
The ghouls around the entrance were wiped out, and we were able to safely enter deeper.
"Okay, let's move forward like this! Close the barricade!"
"All right!"
Gigi Gigi Geek… … Coo!
The barricades were closed.
Kwak Dae-yong ordered several of his men to guard the area around the barricade.
The team was split into two and then four again.
"Okay, as planned, Teams B and C will slowly circle along the wall and clear out the ghouls. Team A breaks through the center and goes straight down to the second basement level."
"What kind of parking lot is this fucking big?"
One of the security team members can be heard grumbling.
It's definitely wide.
"Don't you know? All rich people's apartments are like this. "There's even a second basement level."
'Aren't those people too careless?'
I know that he is a veteran enough to be hired by a large company, but his level of carelessness is excessive. Moreover, Kwak Dae-yong... … .
"Forward, forward! "Don't fall behind!"
bang! Kwasik! Quang!
I am overly excited and running wild.
Kwak Dae-yong attacked the ghoul with a truly relentless force.
But aren't we going too far ahead?
'The ghouls' movements are strange.'
It's as if they're bringing in Kwak Dae-yong and his gang... … .
At some point, the ghouls begin to retreat, moving in unison, deeper into the underground parking lot, that is, to the second basement level.
Oh, shit. Kwak Dae-yong and several of his men chase the ghouls down to the second basement level!
"Hey, team leader! "Don't go out alone!"
That moment.
[System: The 'Enhanced Vigilance' trait is activated.]
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... … .
A heavy vibration is heard from deep within.
This is not an ordinary earthquake. Due to the intervention of a surreal being, something abnormal is happening underground.
And screams pouring in from all directions.
"Aaaah!"
"Ghouls… … !!"
A message window appeared, and information I already knew was printed.
[Quest information has been updated.
The number of targets to kill changes from 20 to 122.]
