The Player Who Stand Chapter 119

Tadadak-

One of [Dawn]'s many combat units was running down the corridor at high speed.

However, that was only how it looked on the outside; they were currently using every thod at their disposal to go as slowly as possible.

They had perfectly inspected their weapons, clothing, and equipnt so as not to be faulted, and they had even gone to the bathroom so that a long ti would not be a problem.

Well, even so, it only turned one minute into three.

"Um… Captain, is it okay for us to be moving this leisurely?"

A rookie, unable to watch any longer, asked.

Looking at the rookie, the squad mbers all made the sa expression.

It was the expression of looking at a naive child who didn't know the ways of the world.

"Hah, it's not that it's okay to go like this, it's that we have to go like this, rookie."

"Yes? What does that…"

As the rookie spoke, unable to understand the captain's sudden words, a senior next to him gave an additional explanation.

"Listen carefully. You're new, so you don't know, but the executives have one thing in common."

"That is… Ah! I know! They're all incredibly strong!"

"Not really. Honestly, the skills of the executives who joined recently aren't that amazing."

The senior began to speak with a serious expression, as if he were about to reveal a big secret.

It was to the point that the rookie tensed up without realizing it.

"Now, listen carefully. The executives, you see…"

"Yes."

"They all have terrible personalities."

"…Yes?"

The rookie was flustered by the sudden words.

But the senior just nodded once, as if telling him to take it to heart.

Even the other seniors listening nearby, and of course the captain leading them, nodded as if it were true.

"It's seriously terrible. Cinderella's stepmother is cute by comparison."

"You won't find a bigger piece of shit."

"It's the definitive proof that God doesn't exist."

While the rookie was flustered, they got on the elevator going down to the basent.

"Listen up, rookie."

"Ah, yes! Captain!"

"We were attacked by a figure who appears to be an intruder. But we haven't found the actual important intruder. So why did the executives call us?"

"Uh… no way?"

As the rookie's eyes half-closed and he trembled slightly as if he had realized sothing, the captain nodded once more as if to say he was correct.

"That's right. They called us to chew us out for being incompetent."

"And that's why we moved slowly."

"Not just us, the other units are probably moving slowly too."

"For so reason, the executives chew out the guys who arrive first the hardest."

The seniors finished each other's sentences in turn.

Only then did the rookie, who now understood the whole situation, let his jaw drop.

Tiring-

At that mont, the elevator doors opened.

The captain looked at the empty corridor and let out a small sigh.

"Hoo, it seems we're the first to arrive…"

Kwaaang--!!!

The mont the captain was speaking, the door to the conference room where the executives had entered burst open violently, and nurous people poured out from inside.

The people who ca out of the conference room were covered in wounds from head to toe, and their entire bodies were soaked as if they had bathed in blood.

Even at a glance, they were so seriously injured that it was difficult to walk properly, but they were rushing out of the conference room with terrified expressions, as if they couldn't feel the pain.

They looked like zombies.

The squad, who had montarily raised their muzzles, were startled when they confird the faces of the zombies.

The zombies they had aid their muzzles at were the executives they had been cursing on their way here.

"You! Potions! Give us the potions!"

"Give them!!!"

"Take out everything you have!"

"Y-yes!"

The executives who ran to the squad mbers gasped for breath and growled, demanding potions.

At that, the squad mbers hurriedly handed over the potions they had.

"Wow, you have the leisure to drink potions?"

At that mont, from the broken conference room, soone's voice was heard along with footsteps.

"Heeik!!!"

"That monster!"

"We have to run!"

Hearing that sound, the executives hastily poured the potions they were drinking on their heads and quickly scattered in all directions.

They had gone to find the stairs to get upstairs as quickly as possible.

"Wh-what…"

"What is this…"

While the squad mbers were dumbfoundedly taking in the situation, a man in a black mask ca out of the conference room with a small laugh.

Lee Shin's role ended here.

Since Lee Shin, as the hunting dog, had driven the raccoon dogs hiding inside out of their den, how many could be caught was entirely up to the hunters.

'Well, they should be fine, though.'

Lee Shin recalled the eyes of the four people he had seen at the end and lightly loosened his body.

Woodeuk- Bbadeuk-

His body let out a pleasant scream.

Kyuuuu--

Yireu let out a small roar and tapped the ground with its tail.

At that, Lee Shin smiled lightly.

With this, the role Lee Shin had been assigned in the plan was over.

So…

"Now I can finally achieve the purpose for which I ca to Japan."

The corners of Lee Shin's mouth rose in anticipation.

Cheolkeok- Cheolkeok- Cheolkeok- Cheolkeok- Cheolkeok-

At that mont, the guns they were holding were aid at Lee Shin.

The red lasers from the muzzles dyed Lee Shin's body red, as if foretelling the future one second from now.

A situation where his life hung on the opponent's finger, like a fish on a cutting board.

"Ooh, this feels much better than I thought."

In that situation, Lee Shin smiled playfully.

But the squad mbers did not let their guard down for a mont.

Everyone present had seen and understood the situation just before.

That's why they knew that Lee Shin was an incredible monster.

'We have to buy ti until other reinforcents arrive.'

While the squad mbers were sweating profusely, Lee Shin observed them leisurely, as if enjoying the sunlight on a walk.

'Guns…'

Because he had never had much interest in guns, he didn't know what kind of guns they were using.

But he could tell that they weren't cute things like the pistols he had played with against the Black Guild guys before.

'Of course, a Player's body could handle a gun with a large recoil freely. And is that an artifact next to it? Combining a gun and an artifact, how interesting.'

What about the power?

The mont that thought reached him, Lee Shin naturally took a step forward.

Tang- Tang- Tang- Tang- Tang-

At that, the squad mbers, who were sensing Lee Shin's every move, pulled the triggers with expressions that said 'what was coming has co.'

Hwoong-

And Lee Shin calmly raised his spear.

"Equipping lasers was a bad move."

Watching the muzzles that flashed brightly like a cara flash, Lee Shin calmly offered his impression.

At the sa ti, his eyes confird where the lasers were pointing, and his ears caught each and every sound of gunpowder exploding.

Binggeureureu-

And the spear held in Lee Shin's hand spun lightly and quickly like a ballpoint pen, dancing over his hand.

Kkang- Kkang- Kkang- Kkang- Kkang-

The bullets that shot out from the guns collided with the spinning spear and ricocheted elsewhere.

At that, the squad mbers looked at Lee Shin with astonished eyes.

For a mont, the squad mbers suspected they were seeing things, but the bullets embedded in the walls, ceiling, and floor proved that what had just happened was real.

And Lee Shin looked at them with a slightly surprised expression.

'The power of the guns is not as bad as I thought.'

The power of the bullets was so strong that if he hadn't swung with internal energy, he would have dropped the spear.

'But this isn't enough…'

Lee Shin lightly counted the number of squad mbers with his eyes.

30 people.

It was a number too far from what Lee Shin wanted.

'It seems a bit early, but should I use the secret weapon?'

Having decided so, Lee Shin brought his hand to his lower back.

There, sothing very similar to a dagger sheath was attached to his belt.

The only small difference was that the case was cylindrical.

Lee Shin grabbed what was sticking out like a handle and pulled.

At that, the handle continued to extend, becoming a long rod, and soon it beca a throwing spear with a sharp spearhead attached to the end.

The artifacts Lee Shin had obtained through Cheon Yuhwa were two in total.

One was the upgraded Smile Mask he was currently wearing, and the second was a belt that could hold a hundred spears.

'I had so trouble finding spears to put in here yesterday.'

Lee Shin smiled lightly and wrapped [Lightning] around the spear in his hand.

A golden radiance covered the spear, and seeing that, the squad mbers lowered their stances and prepared to evade, as if to prepare for an attack.

Taak-

But what Lee Shin was about to attack was not them.

"If I break the ceiling, the desperate guys will flock down here."

-Fla Lightning Tree God Spear

-Lightning

-A Hundred Branches.

The lightning that left Lee Shin's hand shot upwards, breaking through the ceiling and floor as if to pierce the sky.

"Heok! Heok! Damn it! Damn it!"

The executives who had co up to the upper floor using the stairs repeated the sa words over and over, as if their brains weren't functioning properly.

They had run up from the 10th basent floor to the 9th with all their might.

It was only one floor, but just by escaping that space, the executives felt their hearts calm down a little and their lost reason slowly return.

They called over a passing subordinate and had them quickly bring potions to treat their injured bodies.

Their bodies and minds had recovered to so extent.

But nothing changed.

Their reason and instincts were still shouting loudly to run away from this place right now.

Nod-

Normally, they were individuals who repeated disputes and growled at each other just by making eye contact, but now they could exchange opinions just by eting each other's unspoken gazes.

And so, they ford a temporary alliance.

"Let's go."

"Right."

The executives, who had split into three groups, each took bodyguards who could act as a wall in case of an ergency and continuously thought about the best way to escape.

'First, we just need to get to the parking lot. After we get to the parking lot and get in a car to go outside, we can return to our families. If we can just do that, we can live.'

Just as the executives were making the exact sa plan as if it were stamped from a mold.

Pajijijik--!!!

From the floor where they were about to step, a spear wreathed in golden lightning shot up.

"Uwaaaaak!!!"

"Kyaaaaak!!!"

The executives who were running towards the parking lot scread and fell on their butts.

So of them, severely startled, even wet the floor with a yellow liquid.

But the executives present were so terrified that they had no leisure to care about such trivial things.

Their eyes unconsciously looked at the floor.

It seed like the thumping footsteps and the laughter they had continuously heard in the conference room were rising from the floor.

Ukshin-! Ukshin-! Ukshin-!

The wounds that should have been treated with potions throbbed painfully.

"D-damn it! You! Carry !"

" too! Carry

too!"

"Carry

and take

to the parking lot!"

Even though their legs had given out, they had the bodyguards next to them carry them on their backs to move sohow.

The executives struggled to survive sohow.

So they went up to the three parking lots where their respective cars were.

-I've confird the video. They're on their way to where we are now.

-Got it.

-I got it too.

Without knowing that avengers were waiting for them there, grinding their teeth.
