Chapter 200
Plans and Killing Without Concern
After some time had passed, everyone began moving forward once again, making their way through the stone passages until they finally reached the boss room.
The chamber was vast and wrapped in a heavy silence. At its center rested a massive blue crystal, clear and beautiful, radiating a gentle light that filled the area with a mysterious aura.
After a few moments of discussion, the golden-haired young man—who wore expensive armor and weapons—
—and who would become Sung Jin Woo's friend in the future—
began speaking with the captain about dividing the loot and how to transport the crystals they had gathered so far.
As the discussion continued, the captain suddenly raised his hand and pointed toward the depths of the chamber.
There...
Was the cave boss.
A terrifyingly enormous spider. Its gigantic body was covered in a solid shell, its legs long and sharp, its mouth wide open, and its many eyes radiated an unmistakable aura of death, slaughter, and savagery.
The captain stepped forward calmly and explained the plan in a low voice:
The team would first leave to transport the crystals they had collected, then return later to defeat the boss.
After a brief argument and several objections, the decision was finally settled.
Sung Jin Woo, Son Ju Woo, and the golden-haired young man were left inside the cave.
The moment the others departed, a deafening explosion echoed through the chamber, violently shaking the entire area...
And awakening the cave boss.
Son Ju Woo spoke calmly as he watched the giant spider slowly move toward them.
"So... they're planning to kill us, and perhaps kidnap the golden-haired kid to get money from his wealthy father."
The spider moved forward, a truly horrifying creature.
Countless eyes, a gaping mouth, long legs, and an enormous body...
It was unlike anything they had faced before.
Blue sparks ignited around Sung Jin Woo's hand, and a beautiful dagger appeared in his grip.
With calm confidence, he said,
"This monster is mine."
He pressed against the ground with his foot and launched himself toward the spider at incredible speed, beginning the battle immediately with a burst of unexpected power.
'Oh... he has truly grown.
My instincts weren't wrong.'
Son Ju Woo and the golden-haired young man remained watching the battle.
Sung Jin Woo fought fiercely, moving with precision, attacking and retreating without hesitation.
The golden-haired young man looked at Son Ju Woo anxiously.
"We... we have to help him, Mr. Son Ju."
But when he turned—
No one was beside him.
"Damn it... did he run away too?!"
The golden-haired young man collapsed onto the ground in confusion and despair.
At that moment, a violent impact resounded through the chamber.
Sung Jin Woo had received a powerful blow from the spider and was brutally smashed into the ground.
Before anyone could process what was happening—
A dark black light shot forth, beautiful and terrifying at the same time, like a heavenly beam descending from above and crashing directly onto the spider's head with overwhelming force.
Black daggers appeared in Son Ju Woo's hands, moving at unbelievable speed, mercilessly carving through the spider's body.
A small smile appeared on his darkened face.
Those blue eyes,
The short black hair,
The swift movements,
And the dark black aura surrounding him...
Together painted the image of a king descending upon his prey.
The spider's eyes burst one after another before its massive body staggered and collapsed.
Son Ju Woo placed his hand on his head.
'Drain.'
With that single word, the spider's body began trembling violently in pain. A few seconds later, an exhausted corpse devoid of power fell to the ground while Son Ju Woo stood calmly above it.
Bringing his hands together apologetically, he said,
"Sorry for interfering, Sung... but what's done is done."
Sung Jin Woo smiled calmly as he looked at him.
"It's fine... you really did save us, but—"
He approached the spider's corpse and touched it.
With that touch, the entire body evaporated, leaving behind nothing but bones.
'Damn... looks like I overdid it.'
The three of them looked at the enormous skeleton.
In truth, Son Ju Woo's success in the surprise attack was thanks to Sung Jin Woo.
Without the paralysis skill in his dagger, that attack would never have succeeded.
After the spider had been paralyzed, Son Ju Woo destroyed its eyes, exposing a fatal weakness.
At that point, he began to feel the spider's power gradually fading.
He used the Blood Demon Technique and drained its power,
but because of his current weakness, he could only begin draining it after the opponent had already become severely weakened,
and he was unable to drain it completely.
Therefore...
The bones remained.
Had he been stronger, the entire body would have vanished into the air.
After some time, the three began collecting the beautiful blue crystal.
Son Ju Woo quietly thought to himself.
'Why don't I do it... but—'
He calmly looked around him, and while no one was watching,
the spider's skeleton disappeared from the chamber with a single glance from Son Ju Woo,
and was quietly placed inside storage.
He smiled as he continued collecting the crystal.
Then he looked at his left hand...
The new human hand he had personally created using a technique he had purchased from the Celestial Store.
The technique required many materials,
but his resources from Zhao Fan's world had made him unconcerned about such costs.
He had simply created a new arm and attached it where the old one had been.
He had discovered some interesting things within the information regarding the transforming liquid he had obtained previously,
but he was currently too weak to use it,
so he settled for this much.
He smiled quietly.
Suddenly—
A violent explosion shook the entire cave, and the rocks blocking the path shattered apart.
The captain and his companions entered.
And the first thing their eyes landed on—
Was that the cave boss had disappeared,
while the three stood there calmly...
Collecting the blue crystal with complete ease.
Before any of them could say a word—
A sphere of yellow light shot out from the mage's hand at tremendous speed, tearing through the air and striking Sung Jin Woo directly in the chest.
His body was launched by the force of the impact, flying through the air before crashing into the rear wall and shattering it violently amid a cloud of dust and stone.
Son Ju Woo sighed quietly, his cold eyes observing the bastards standing before him.
'Should I have brought Kyu with me?
But he's guarding the house right now... and taking care of Astaroth and Wrath.
He's feeding the corpses of bastards to Astaroth while gathering magical energy to nourish Wrath.
They're already exhausted because of me... yes, leaving him at home was the better choice.'
He raised his gaze toward the group again and slowly moved his hands, preparing to rush forward and kill them all.
Even if the Worst Death King was merely a weakling at Level Two...
He was still the Worst Death King, and there was no disputing that.
"And in moments of inevitable death, the final human always stands firm before adversity, ready to receive the punishment of the gods."
Son Ju Woo muttered quietly, as though he were a priest praying for strength in the darkest hours of the night.
But—
Before he could do anything...
A dark blue aura surged from behind.
"Son Ju... they're mine. Don't interfere."
The voice came from within the dust.
Then Sung Jin Woo emerged calmly, cracking his neck as though nothing had happened, as though the previous blow had been nothing more than a minor annoyance.
Son Ju Woo replied calmly,
"Alright... but hurry up."
The bastards laughed mockingly.
The spear wielder stepped forward, laughing loudly as he looked down on Sung Jin Woo.
But in the next moment—
Sung Jin Woo's hand moved with sharp speed.
With one clean motion...
The spearman's head fell to the ground.
A brief silence followed.
Then Sung Jin Woo rushed forward.
One scratch for each person...
Nothing more.
Everyone collapsed simultaneously, their bodies stiffened by paralysis, screaming in pain without being able to move.
Only the captain remained.
Sung Jin Woo raised his hand and slammed the captain's head into the ground with tremendous force, shattering the floor beneath him.
The captain screamed in fear and madness.
"Do you know who I am?! Do you know who my brother is?!"
Sung Jin Woo looked at him with murderous coldness.
"As if I care, you stupid bastard."
He raised his hand again...
And struck.
Then a third time... perhaps a fourth.
His furious voice turned into trembling pleas.
"Please... forgive me!"
Fear had completely consumed him, a naked fear of the death now staring him in the face.
Before Sung Jin Woo could do anything—
A foot descended with crushing force onto the captain's head.
The skull shattered...
And turned into red paste scattered across the ground.
Sung Jin Woo raised his head.
Son Ju Woo was standing there, calmly pulling back his foot.
With a faint smile, he said,
"Man... you really took your sweet time with him. I have things I want to take care of, you know... let's hurry."
Sung Jin Woo smiled quietly, and the three moved forward with steady steps.
But—
Not before every corpse in the cave disappeared
In a strange manner...
Silent...
And unknown.
Unknown to everyone except Son Ju Woo, who smiled happily as though he had just won the grand prize.
