Chapter 228. System Stopped – PLAYER WHO RETURNED 10,000 YEARS LATER

Chapter 228. System Stopped

– Fuh! – breathing was confused.

Clothes got wet with cold sweat. A human figure was running in the darkness with great speed. The door of the building thundered open and a room with unusually high ceilings appeared.

– Master?

Pallock trained in a wide area, when, seeing the owner, bowed his head in surprise.

– Hide me for a while.

– What happened?

– I’m… I’m worried about something, – Kang Woo said warily.

It all happened when he returned home from his walk with Han Seol. The guy decided to take another look at the documents sent by Si Hoon, but he began to feel sleepy. And at that moment he heard the sounds of dripping mucus. He realized that something was crawling along the wall behind him and he immediately jumped up.

“Something familiar…”

It was a very common feeling of anxiety. The instinct for self-preservation immediately told him to run away. Kang Woo shot out of the house and headed for the building where Pallock was.

– Ha ha ha! In Hell, you also did this several times. Well, you give… – Pallock laughed and came closer.

“Don’t laugh, it’s scary to the point.”

Pallock approached and put a huge hand on the guy’s back.

– Although I do everything on my own, but if you call me… then I will find you whenever you want. It always has been.

“What are you talking about?” – Kang Woo looked at him in bewilderment.

Pallock, glad that his Master himself came to him, wiped the sweat with a towel the size of a human blanket, and smiled contentedly.

– Ooh… – Kang Woo was going to say something, but in the end he just exhaled wearily.

He turned and looked around.

“It’s like I’m watching Gulliver.”

The furniture in the building was specially prepared for the five-meter Pallock, so Kang Woo got the impression that he was in some country of giants. He gently pushed off the ground and climbed onto the huge sofa.

– Are you happy with everything here? – so, in the meantime, Kang Woo asked.

Pallock laughed.

– Of course.

– Isn’t it boring?

While Pallock was in Hell, he was always surrounded by numerous servants.

But now he is on Earth.

There are no subordinates here, no comrades with whom you could talk. Just because he’s a demon doesn’t mean he’s insensitive and can’t feel loneliness.

Pallock sat down on the sofa. She bounced back and Kang Woo took to the air for a moment.

Pallock spoke:

– It’s okay, because you are here.

Kang Woo didn’t answer.

– I felt even more lonely in Hell.

– Why?. – the guy didn’t understand.

After Kang Woo disappeared, the royal army is completely under Pallock’s control.

“Most likely, Pallock took my place altogether.”

Since the Great Ones were dead, there was no one who could claim to be king. Only Pallock had the power to keep all Hell under control.

Still, Pallock said it was hard for him to be there, and Kang Woo didn’t understand why.

– Because you weren’t there.

“Here’s the infection…”

Hearing Pallock’s calm reply, goose bumps ran down Kang Woo’s spine. The guy moved slightly away from the demon. He was thinking about something and stretched his knuckles.

– Oh, exactly. What do you think about trying this? – he got up and opened the huge refrigerator door, taking out a gray barrel.

– Beer?.

Pallock nodded and took two kegs.

– Remember how you enjoyed the bloody meat of a wild beast with the rest of the people?

– Are you talking about a barbecue at a picnic now?

– Oh, is this violent action called a barbecue? People also hunt for prey, and then eat it with a laugh… not bad.

– No, this is… That’s how it is, but…

– One way or another, but then I first tasted what you called beer. It tickles the palate so pleasantly… An excellent taste that I haven’t tasted in Hell.

– Do you taste? – Kang Woo asked in surprise.

The demons had almost no sense of taste. First, because they did not need food, so there was no need to taste it. When after the victory they devour the body of the enemy… this is more a kind of ceremony than a meal.

– Ha ha ha! I drank a couple of bottles and it tasted good. Not sure about the kimchichige you love so much…

– Don’t insult the kimchichige.

– Ha ha ha! Sorry, “Pallock laughed.

Kang Woo smiled slightly as he remembered the past.

Even when he was on the Nine Thousand Circle of Hell and they fought against the Great Ones, he and Pallok, for periods, had very entertaining conversations.

“Wow sh * t…”

Suddenly Pallock tore off the top of the keg with his teeth and beer spilled out. The demon gave one keg to Kang Woo and held the other in his direction.

– It seems like people do that. How is it… Before…

– “To the bottom”. You’d better tell me what you’re going to do with the floor?

– Oh, it’s okay. Baal Hazak will clean up anyway.

– Do you make my beloved skeleton work around the house?

– Hehe, well, I’m stronger. And I do not know where Baal Hazak learned this, but he does an excellent job with household chores.

– It looks like it’s in his blood.

Pallock laughed and held out the keg once more. Kang Woo sighed and snapped his fingers. Using the Power of Frost, he created a glass of ice. Having poured beer there, he raised his hand and clinked glasses with the demon.

Although what is happening has nothing to do with the upcoming battle, but Kang Woo didn’t feel like he was wasting time.

For the first time in a long time, he remembered the moment of their first meeting.

– Wow! Refreshing. And there is no snack?

– If you wish, I will attack the Hell teachers right now and bring you their heads…

– Fuck, no, – Kang Woo shook his head and looked down at the glass.

The beer tickled his throat pleasantly, and with every sip of the refreshing drink he forgot to worry.

– Memories of the past rolled over, – said Pallock.

– About the past?

– Yes. I remembered our first meeting.

Suddenly realizing that Pallock was thinking the same thing as he was, the guy pursed his lips.

– My name is Pallock.

He remembered their first conversation.

– So it’s true that a person was able to get to the Nine-thousandth Circle of Hell…

Kang Woo raised his head and looked at Pallock, who was quietly drinking beer.

– I came to you with a request.

He remembered his body, covered with wounds, and a gloomy, empty look, like a dead fish. He could hardly be called a demon.

– Kill me…

Kang Woo shook his head and sipped some more beer, feeling a bitter taste.

– I still remember your answer.

– Really? I completely forgot. Apparently, too much time has passed.

– You then said: “don’t cause pity and just disappear.”

– Well, no, did I really answer so rudely?

– In fact, your sentences included curses I didn’t understand. Lots of curses. Then I did not know Korean yet and only understood our demonic language.

Silence fell.

Kang Woo cleared his throat and looked away.

“How strange. I couldn’t say that.”

Memories of the past are really easy to replace. He shook his head and poured himself another beer. They clinked glasses again.

Not bad at all.

Beer perfectly suits the memories of the past. He never thought he could have a drink with Pallock, but after trying it turned out to be quite good.

“One day it will be over.”

Will they still be able to drink like this?

Thinking about it, Kang Woo took another sip.

***

– Lord-e-in!

– No.

The demon was crying like a little child.

– Well, sir! – He whimpered. – Do you even know how lonely I was without you?

– Why the fuck is the demon drunk on alcohol?

– What does “get drunk” mean? Ha ha ha! Do you think that I, the great Pallock, can get drunk from some kind of alcohol?

– You’re an insane!

– No, you take a closer look. I can even walk along a straight line.

Pallock took a step and stepped on the table, breaking it. The giant turned around and suddenly pulled Kang Woo towards him. Probably because Pallock trained before the guy arrived, he was enveloped in a pungent smell of sweat.

So sharp he stopped breathing.

The door opened suddenly.

– Pallock, have you seen Kang Woo? I asked Han Seol and she said that he suddenly ran away…

Si Hoon entered the room.

Seeing Kang Woo in the arms of a giant, Si Hoon frowned.

– Si Hoon, help… – Kang Woo desperately stretched out his hand.

The guy was trembling.

– Pallock… you… – anger boiled inside him.

“Si Hoon, help,” Kang Woo, pressed into the giant’s belly, looked at the guy with hopeful eyes.

– How… how can you be so unceremonious?.

“Si Hong?”

– Get your weapon out!

“What are you carrying?”

– I challenge you to a duel.

“Hey stop…”

– Ha ha ha! Excellent!

Pallock got up.

– Human, prove that you are worthy to serve the Lord.

– I will.

“Tie it up, you assholes,” Kang Woo has already started to go crazy watching what is happening.

At that moment, mucus dripped quietly somewhere. Kang Woo immediately turned pale.

– Oh-ho-ho! And I kept thinking, where did you disappear.

– A …

– Han Seol gave me advice today. And I realized… that I was too passive.

– What? Passive? You?!

– Yes. I realized that I should be more active in showing you my love.

– No, no.

– Come here, my love! – Lilith pulled him to her.

Pallock and Si Hong, taking out their weapons, began to fight, and the whole building began to shake under the weight of the demon.

“Will it always be like this?”

He had the feeling that he was in a real nightmare.

Kang Woo started to stir, trying get out of the slippery tentacles. Somehow, freeing his hand, he held it out in the direction of the laboratory of Baal Hazak.

[Scanning fingerprints…]

[Error! Error!]

[System stopped]

– What?!

Due to mucus leaking from the fingerprint scanner, the door did not open.

[The door is locked!]

– No-no-no!!!

The tentacles wrapped around him like a rope again.
