Holy Idol [EN]: Chapter 625

◈ 625. I’m Going to Redrin!

Rembrary tried hard to ignore the cockroach.

But it was no use, whether he turned his gaze to the right or to the left.

The more he tried not to look, the more he was bothered by its presence, and his eyes kept turning towards it.

“Get a grip!”

Sagamjae shouted in panic when Rembrary looked like he was about to faint.

“The problem is I’m too much *of* a grip,” Rembrary replied in a hoarse voice.

In the meantime, the giant cockroach was slowly moving towards them. Then, the moment the cockroach unfurled its wings.

“!”

Rembrary tapped Sagamjae on the back.

“Go and take care of it quickly! Don’t let it come near me! Hurry!”

Rembrary was genuinely terrified and disgusted, but the Nakru Hunters watching this scene on CCTV chuckled and made a fuss among themselves.

“He has a weakness.”

“He seemed out of it. Now he’s completely losing it.”

“Record that. Record that.”

“From now on, when dealing with him, can’t we just carry around a big bug and throw it at him?”

As they were chuckling and watching the CCTV, Sagamjae eventually came forward and slashed the giant cockroach.

At that moment, all the Nakru Hunters got goosebumps and shut their mouths, but when they calmed down, they laughed again and made a fuss, telling them to record the scene.

“Can’t we just release that to the public?”

“Right. He’s such a nuisance. There were so many people praising him as a super strong healer. They’ll be so disappointed when they see that.”

“Release it. Hey, release it from the cockroach scene. Except for the part where he suppresses everything with that high frequency thing. Just the scary scenes.”

One of the Nakru Hunters actually connected the CCTV to the internet, saying ‘Live Broadcast,’ excluding the part where Rembrary was active.

As soon as they attached the keyword ‘Rembrary,’ people quickly flocked to the video, even though it hadn’t been uploaded for long, and the number continued to increase as they contacted each other.

People showed various reactions as they watched Rembrary and the hunters around him deal with the monster that looked like a cockroach.

– Look how scared he is of bugs ㅠ Cute ㅠ Our Rembry is cute even in this way!!!

– Seriously, let him be scared of that. I would have fainted already.

– I would have opened the door and gone back if I saw that;; Are you crazy? Why are there so many bug monsters only there?

Some people understood Rembrary’s reaction,

– It’s okay to be scared. But you shouldn’t cause trouble even if you’re scared lol

– He’s sticking right behind Sagamjae, preventing Sagamjae from working properly ㅉㅉ [Korean slang indicating disapproval]

– At that point, it would be more helpful if he just went to the back and got out of the way.

Some people were frustrated that Rembrary couldn’t help at all in dealing with the bug monsters.

Anyway, everyone seemed to know for sure that Rembrary was disgusted by bugs.

Those who don’t know now will find out later by exchanging information.

The Nakru Hunters exchanged victory high-fives among themselves.

* * *

Rembrary, unaware of this situation, ended up following Sagamjae around on the 3rd basement floor.

Even the Nakru Hunters who orchestrated this were amazed at how much he was protecting himself.

As a result, to the hunters who didn’t know the situation, Rembrary seemed extremely insincere.

There are rumors like ghost stories floating around these days, but objectively, the definite information about Rembrary was ‘the world’s only healer who single-handedly eliminates the demon’s domain.’

There are also stories attached, such as being the leader of cults or being crazy.

Anyway, in terms of ability alone, Rembrary is a being that hunters can’t help but admire.

But Rembrary is just hiding behind Sagamjae, so the hunters gradually became dissatisfied and turned a blind eye to Rembrary.

But it was when they were looking around the 2nd basement floor.

“Huh?”

Someone muttered like that, then suddenly said in a flustered voice.

“It seems like the number of people has decreased?”

At that, Nam Sunwoo, who had been dealing with the swarming bugs, asked back annoyedly, “What?” Then he counted the number of people one by one with his fingers.

“What are you talking about? One, two, three, four, five, six…”

Then Nam Sunwoo stopped at the twelfth person, frowned, and asked another Nakru Hunter.

“How many people came into this team in total?”

“There are three people from Rembrary’s group, three people from Nakru [a monster hunting organization], and people from other places, for a total of fifteen people.”

Next to him, Secretary Yoon was also counting the number of people, saying, “One, two…”

After a while, Secretary Yoon also said to Rembrary in a small voice.

“There are really three people missing.”

Nam Sunwoo was flustered and asked the hunter who was standing at the very back.

“Did you see anyone disappearing?”

When the others also looked at him, the hunter shook his head urgently.

“No. And I didn’t just move while looking straight ahead. I kept looking around because I didn’t know where the bugs would come out.”

The others were in the same situation.

“Didn’t they just fail to join because they were dealing with bugs?”

“No, no. I’m the last one in the line. Even if I look around the other side, I can’t *not* see people leaving.”

The group looked at the hallway they had passed.

However, there were only piles of dead bug monsters on the floor, and it didn’t seem like there were any people there.

Even if they were attacked and fell on the floor, they wouldn’t be this quiet.

The atmosphere, which had been full of dissatisfaction with Rembrary, was instantly pulled into a tense atmosphere.

Nam Sunwoo wanted to ask the Nakru Hunters who were watching the situation on CCTV if they had seen anything strange, but he couldn’t do that in front of the people.

“Let’s move back to back.”

Eventually, Sagamjae suggested, and the people decided to follow his words.

The moving speed was a bit slow, but the people felt relieved when they stood back to back, and they moved little by little down the hallway.

But how long had they been moving like that? Someone made a strange sound as if they were dying.

Those who saw it, wondering what it was, soon screamed in horror.

“Aaaagh!”

“Hands!”

They hurriedly took their backs off each other and stepped back.

Rembrary was also pushed back in a daze because he was attached to Sagamjae.

It was difficult for Rembrary to see what was happening from the angle, but after taking a few steps back, he was able to grasp the situation well.

Shockingly, human hands were popping out of the heart of a Nakru Hunter next to Nam Sunwoo.

The hands, which came out to about the elbow, were coming out of a black hole-like hole in the hunter’s heart, and every time the hands touched the Nakru Hunter, the hunter’s body was being erased as if it had been erased with Photoshop.

As if the hand was an eraser, the parts that the hand touched were being erased.

“Ugh, aaaagh! Aaaagh!”

Strangely, no blood was flowing, but the hunter continued to scream and shouted at Nam Sunwoo.

“Help me! Do something!”

Then, as the hunter staggered and bumped into another hunter next to him who was trying to help, at that moment.

The other hunter’s body was also erased when it touched the hand that came out of the black hole.

“Aaaagh!”

The difference was that the hunter who didn’t have a black hole in his heart poured blood from the part where his body was erased.

As the staggering hunter tried to go to Nam Sunwoo, Nam Sunwoo hurriedly took out a gun and fired at the hunter with the hand popping out of his heart.

He seemed to be aiming at the hand, but after a while. When the hunter collapsed, his upper body was full of gunshot wounds.

The bullets passed through the hand and hit the hunter.

“What is this, what is this!”

Nam Sunwoo screamed in horror at the monster he hadn’t put in.

The others also gasped and looked at the fallen hunter without being able to get close.

“Did all the other people disappear like that? Erased?”

“What happens if you get erased? Are you dead?”

“A rift?”

Sagamjae muttered something small, but Rembrary was the only one who heard the sound in a state of panic.

“First of all, it would be better to leave that, that person alone. I think he’s dead anyway. If we touch the body, we might get it too. That, that thing.”

Someone muttered while looking at the fallen hunter.

At that moment. Rembrary slipped away from Sagamjae and went to the fallen hunter, placing his hand on him.

Then, through the clothes torn by the gun, the wound was healing in an instant.

The disappeared body was also appearing.

As the wound healed quickly, after a while. The hunter waved his hand, breathing in a hurry as if his breath had returned.

When Rembrary held his hand, the hunter grabbed Rembrary and raised his body.

“Did you…?”

The hunter muttered blankly as if he had grasped the situation as soon as he saw Rembrary.

Before Rembrary could answer, the hunter suddenly frowned, let go of Rembrary, and punched Nam Sunwoo.

“Cowardly bastard!”

Nam Sunwoo dodged the punch and shouted.

“What can I do in that situation? Not everyone has the same ability as that healer!”

“Still, how can you shoot a colleague!”

“The monster that came out of your body is attacking other people, so should I just leave it alone? If something like that came out of your body, would there be any other way?”

At that moment when Nam Sunwoo shouted, coincidentally, a hand popped out of Nam Sunwoo’s heart this time.

“Aaaagh!”

Nam Sunwoo screamed in horror when he saw it, but this time, unexpectedly, Rembrary approached first.

Then he grabbed the hand that popped out of Nam Sunwoo’s heart.

“!”

At the sudden handshake, the people around him, the Nakru Hunters who were watching the situation on CCTV, and the viewers who were watching the broadcast they were sending out all screamed.

– WTF [What the f*ck] why are you grabbing that!!!!!

– Let go let go let go let go!!

– Aaaah I’m going crazy let go!!!

Rembrary didn’t let go of his hand, but started pulling it.

Only after seeing Rembrary pulling the hand did people realize that the hand, which had erased their bodies just by touching them, was now helplessly caught by Rembrary without being able to exert its power.

Before they could be amazed by that, as Rembrary continued to pull the hand, black hair popped out from the black hole-like place as if it was being dragged.

– Aaaah ghost ghost ghost ㅠ

– It looks like a ghost

– Aaaah it’s so scaryㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Stop pullingㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

The people who thought of the hand that came out of their hearts as just a ‘hand monster’ screamed in horror when they saw the hair attached to the hand coming out, but Rembrary kept pulling the hand as if he had made up his mind.

The hunters around him didn’t know whether to help or stop him, so they were in a state of confusion.

At that moment. The ‘something’ that was about to be pulled out suddenly swung its whole body greatly, shook off Rembrary, and went back into the black hole.

As the ‘something’ disappeared, the black hole also disappeared, and Nam Sunwoo regained his normal state.

Nam Sunwoo blankly looked at Rembrary.

Rembrary looked down at his clenched hand, recalling the ‘something’ he had pulled.

– Rembraryㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– As expected, the final boss appears later

– Look at him letting other people catch bugs ㅋㅋ He’s dealing with the strongest monster ㅈㄴ [Korean slang expressing strong emotion, like ‘damn’] He’s so cool

– Rembrary is more afraid of bugs than ghosts;;;

As people admired the sight, the Nakru Hunters belatedly cut off the video they were sending out.

They should have cut it off much earlier, but they were delayed because they were also surprised by the sudden situation.

It was a fortunate thing.

As soon as the video was cut off, the hunter who had the black hole in his heart at first showed his middle finger to Nam Sunwoo and shouted.

“Fuck you, I’m going to Redrin!”

* * *

Noir watched this scene and clicked his tongue.

“He’s getting through the crisis again somehow.”

As he was doing that, Clotte yawned next to him and said.

“That kind of thing will be overturned when the documentary comes out anyway. You should be more concerned about Shin Jo-woon.”

“Why that human?”

“The marketing team at the company where that human is located regularly posts articles like ‘The Reason Why RBRR is Wronged,’ ‘Actually, Rembrary Has a Lot to Say but is Holding Back,’ ‘Can You Blame Rembrary Even if the Rumors are True?’ It seems like they’re trying to create public opinion in advance in preparation for the documentary.”

However, Noir laughed and replied.

“You don’t have to worry about that. It’ll be resolved soon anyway.”

“Resolved?”

“There’s a funny friend among the Earth-native demons. He’s decided to take action.”
