Chapter 222 - Foreign Players Targeting The Korean Server (4)

[Item information]

-Name: Ginseng of the Mountain Spirit

-Grade: Legend

-Category: consumption

-Effect: By accepting the 'Mountain Spirit', you can get a tremendous increase in stats. Also, the 'affinity and dominance' for nature and spirits increases significantly, and you can sometimes get the' power of the mountain god' (deity status).

* Caution! To fully absorb it, you need a 'stamina level' of at least 80. (Recommended: 100)

* Caution! If you already have a different 'deity' status, they can clash against each other and have adverse effects.

-Description: This is the 'spirit' formed after an unqualified person forcibly took the 'Ginseng of the Mountain Spirit', so it has become much stronger because it was taken by an arrogant person.

Sungwoo said, "I think what I have is probably that item, the 'Ginseng of Mountain Spirit.'"

It was an item with which Sungwoo could get deity status, but he could not use it, not to mention any colleague who could meet the requirement for its use.

So, he gave it to Jisu because he trusted her so much.

'For me, the legacy of the Shadow King is far more valuable than this,' he thought to himself.

If he could get the Shadow King's legacy, the last item, he would be able to get stronger. No matter how much he would spend, he wanted to have this item by all means.

"Oh, I think you're right. Thanks, I'll bring you the Last Legacy of the Shadow King by all means."

Jisu accepted the 'Ginseng of the Mountain Spirit' then took out a scroll, which seemed to be an item that could take her back to Mt. Taebaek.

"I think I have to go back now."

He felt a bit uncomfortable about her going back to the deep mountains, but he had no choice but to trust her and wait

"Be careful. Don't believe him unconditionally. Even if he is good to you, he's nothing but a monster!"

"I'll keep it in mind."

Jisu soon opened the portal using the scroll. She walked into it. Shortly afterward, the portal was closed and she disappeared again.

"Uh? Where is Sis Jisu? She is not parting with us to be independent, right?"

"Just think she is on a business trip."

"Are you sure? Let me ask you just in case. Please don't send me on a business trip."

Right after that, Sungwoo resurrected the bodies of the ninjas into skeletons.

-You can check the 'memory fragments' of the deceased.

"Sure, show me who sent them."

Although Sungwoo was preparing for an attack from an overseas server, he never thought that an assassination team would be dispatched so quickly like this. Although he was very much embarrassed, he felt strongly inclined to fight and beat them.

'Let me find out the guys who were responsible for sending the ninjas and get even with them so they can't challenge us again'

Sungwoo was determined to make the instigators pay the painful price.

Soon, the scenes were shown through the fragments of the memory. They were the memories of the ninja. The place was the lobby of a shopping mall in Korea. Dozens of ninjas caught Sungwoo's eyes. They numbered more than twice the ninjas Jisu killed.

'It means there are more ninjas somewhere right now.'

The owner of the whole plan raised the map of the Korean Peninsula. His finger pointed to what seemed to be the location they were then Suwon.

"No. 1 unit keeps moving eastward to Suwon. No. 2 Unit, you guys follow this highway to Cheonan and complete your mission."

It seemed that they were talking a few days before the attack.

"The "Hunter Company" building in Cheonan Station. You want us to destroy that building then join our forces in Suwon. Is that our Plan A?"

"Right. We have no specific goal. Just destroy it, so much so that they can not rebuild it. That's our client's request."

Sungwoo smelled a rat at that point.

'Client? Is the client aiming at me and the Hunter Company at the same time?'

He recalled only one name at that moment.

***

On the rooftop of a hotel building at Cheonan Station, Ninjas dressed in black quickly landed there. They climbed up the outer wall of the building and penetrated the rooftop.

Puck!

"Kheeeeeeek!"

They easily assassinated the guards on the rooftop and gathered at the entrance of the staircases leading to the building.

"We've removed them all."

There was no fuss while they killed five security guards. Those in the building were unaware that somebody from outside had infiltrated the building.

"Good. According to the information I obtained from torturing a man captured on the ground, their leaders are now in a penthouse. If we storm there and kill them all, they will collapse quickly."

After he was done briefing, the leader of the No. 2 Unit put on a mask. Then, he pointed his finger at the floor.

"Now, go through the ventilation and kill those in the upper corridor first. Go!"

The ninjas moved in unison and carried out the planned operation. The synergy of <Operation Ninja (Phase 1)> added deadly power to their movements.

Like painless, deadly poison spreading through veins, the ninjas slowly began to occupy the building.

Then, shortly afterward, the doo
