Chosen Undead in Solo Leveling

Chapter 16: Jinwoo's Death

Few days later, in a hospital in America.

Jinho was laying on a bed unconscious being healed by Beru. His injuries were mostly healed but he didn't wake up yet. Then suddenly the door opened.

Beru hid in the shadows and kept watching. He saw a familiar man enter and stand beside Jinho.

"This is my 'Get well soon' present. They saw it makes a difference." said Randall as he place a gift basket on the table.

"Jinwoo is a strong fighter and dear friend of mine, but he hesitates to do what needs to be done. I will make sure the people responsible for your suffering suffer as well. I will do what he couldn't, That's what friends are for right?" said Randall and then left.

The next day, News about attacks on hospitals started spreading like wildfire. The 2 helpers of Hwang Dongsoo during the torture of Jinho were killed in gruesome ways. The attacker didn't even try to hid, He blasted through the main entrance and blasted the legs of all the guards. The identity of the attacker was reviled to be Randall, a S-rank hunter from Korea, Through surveillance footage.

But Randall didn't stop after that. He started hunting down the hunters from Scavenger Guild. He would blast both the legs of his victims and then stop their bleeding after which he would leave. All his victim would loss some of there powers even after being fully healed. An A-rank hunter would become a B-rank or C- rank after being attacked.

During the battle between Jinwoo and the monarchs, after Jinwoo managed to kill 'Querehsha', the monarch of Plague, the beast monarch captured Beru by the neck. The beast monarch was about to permanently kill Beru when a Crystal Soul Spear hit him on the back. The spell was fired by Randall who hid his presence to get within range.

The beast monarch's injury heal but he noticed his power reducing.

"The guy's magic is strange, It drained some of my mana. Be careful Frost Monarch." said the beast monarch.

"Randall?" said Jinwoo is a strangely cautious tone.

'I heard he went rouge a started hunting hunters. If he decides to fight me now I would definitely loss.' thought Jinwoo.

"Give me that fast ant of yours. The bonfire is a long way from here and I don't want to run my way back." said Randall.

"Will you help me?"

"Ofcourse I will help you. That's what friends are for."

Jinwoo smiled at Randall mentioning his as a friend.

"Beru. Don't let him die." said Jinwoo to Beru.

The frost monarch then used his Authorities and trapped Randall and the shadow solders in Ice. But Randall escaped immediately by using the Miracle 'Force'. That spell cracked the ice prison allowing the stronger shadow solders to escape as well.

"Impossible!" said the Frost monarch in disbelieve.

Randall then used Beru to get close to the Frost monarch and used Dark Bead. The Frost monarch used his trident to cut Randall in half but Randall's spell hit him first. The spell killed the Frost monarch in an instant and that surprised the beast monarch.

In a desperate attempt to win, the beast monarch launched himself at Jinwoo. Jinwoo dodged his first few attacks but then got injured. Beast monarch took the opportunity to successfully stab Jinwoo in the chest.

Beast monarch was filled with joy as he stab Jinwoo's chest with his nails so much that he failed to notice the spell aimed at his head. Randall used a Crystal Soul Spear aimed at the beast monarch to save Jinwoo, He managed to kill the beast monarch but fail to save his friend.

As Randall stood in front of Jinwoo's corpse tears started flowing from his eyes. Randall placed the daggers back in Jinwoo's lifeless hands and then sat next to his lifeless body.
