Ju-Hui’s complexion became quite negative; Seong Jin-Woo changed into deeply greatly surprised by way of this sight.
“What’s incorrect? Are you ill someplace?”
“T-there. Over there.”
Jin-Woo’s eyes followed Ju-Hui’s trembling pointing finger. She became pointing at the massive god statue. extra specially, she changed into pointing on the god statue’s face.
Jin-Woo ought to simplest tilt his head in confusion because it looked pretty a lot similar to earlier than.
“….?”
Ju-Hui stuttered some words out.
“The, the eyes… The eyes of the god statue moved towards us. simply now.”
“Pardon me?”
Jin-Woo regarded once more several instances, but not anything regarded to have changed. there was no visible change to the god statue.
“Eii… I’m sure you’ve made a mistake.”
however, it appeared like Ju-Hui didn’t pay attention him; her head stayed lowered, and as she held onto Jin-Woo’s arm, her entire frame trembled even harder.
‘grasp on a sec right here.’
Even Jin-Woo picked up in this ordinary but ominous sensation now. the world turned into eerily quiet. so much so, it felt just too weird.
‘No sounds….?’
Even the sounds of the flames burning on the torches couldn’t be heard anymore.
“First law.”
in the interim, track’s voice endured on as he examine the contents of the slate.
“Worship the god. second regulation. Exalt the god. 1/3 regulation. show your piety. folks who do now not keep to these legal guidelines shall now not depart this location alive.”
It became then.
SLAM!!
everybody was jolted returned to their senses on the sudden explosion of noise.
“What, what become that?!”
“where did that unexpected noise come from?!”
the primary character to be aware the trade inside the state of affairs become none aside from Jin-Woo. because his senses have been strolling at complete tilt already, he ought to tell where the noise became coming from right away.
“The door!! The door is closed!!”
As soon as Jin-Woo shouted out, every body shifted their gazes towards the doorway. The door they left open changed into now firmly close near.
“God d*mn it! i can’t stand this!”
The Hunter who was the primary to oppose the idea of persisted exploration of the dungeon started out spitting out cusses as he took massive strides toward the door.
“I’m going domestic, so you all can have amusing with a chairman or treasures or something.”
That Hunter glared at track with an expression that contained all of his dissatisfaction earlier than he spun his head round and angrily grabbed the door cope with.
It happened, then.
tune’s eyes grew greater big.
“No!!”
Splash!
The vicinity above the Hunter’s neck unexpectedly vanished. The headless frame powerlessly collapsed to the ground.
“ok, kkkkyaaachk?!”
“Uwaa?! Uwaak!!”
Hunters began screaming their heads off.
The stone statue that smashed a human’s head aside with a metallic mace lower back to its authentic spot next to the door, as if not anything vital had befell, its frame completely protected in clean blood.
“That, that factor can circulate?!”
“What the hell?? Does that mean each statue in here can pass, too?!”
“We gotta fight towards these items?”
“I couldn’t even see that d*mn element swing the mace, so how can i?!”
not like others right here, even though, Jin-Woo knew the truth.
….Their problems most effective had just started.
Didn’t Ju-Hui say it in advance?
“The, the eyes… The eyes of the god statue moved toward us. simply now.”
‘If what she said is authentic….’
A sit back rapidly ran down his backbone.
Jin-Woo pressured his stiff neck to turn around so he may want to look behind him.
“….Oh, sh*t.”
The stone statue of the god become searching down at him.
element 3: graduation of the attack
It become then, the god statue’s two black eyes changed to red.
was this the instincts of a Hunter?
No, the instincts of a living being were sending out urgent warning signals.
something turned into coming.
something none of them could contend with!
Jin-Woo became towards the opposite Hunters and cried out as loudly as he should.
“Get down!!”
almost at the identical time, red beams of mild shot out from the eyes of the god statue. Jin-Woo hugged Ju-Hui and threw their our bodies to the floor.
BUZZZ!!
The beam shot proper by using the spot Jin-Woo have been status.
A 10th of a second.
No, he survived by way of one-hundredth of a 2nd.
That turned into genuinely too close for consolation.
sadly, now not everyone changed into as fortunate as Jin-Woo.
“Uwaaahk?!”
“Euh-ahahack!!”
folks that had been swallowed up through the crimson light evaporated where they stood. handiest the ashes of what was once human Hunters remained where the beam flew beyond.
The screams got here no longer from the lifeless Hunters, however individuals who witnessed their final moments from the sidelines, sincerely.
“What the f*ck became that?!”
“Euh, euh-euh…”
“How, how can one of these aspect also be…”
The remaining Hunters commenced freaking out.
Out of the seventeen Hunters, most effective 11 survived.
not one in all them had ever experienced this sort of powerful attack before of their lives.
‘I slightly made it due to the fact he instructed me to get down.’
‘If it wasn’t for Mister Seong’s shouts….’
Hunters stared at Jin-Woo while nervously swallowing their saliva. Jin-Woo grew to become out to be their not likely saviour. without his timely warning, they may simplest believe what might’ve came about to them and that notion despatched chills down their spines.
“…..”
while nonetheless mendacity prostrate on the ground, Jin-Woo glared at the god statue.
Its eyes have been nonetheless sparkling in red, but it did not assault once more.
‘Is the assault… over?’
Jin-Woo appeared underneath him. The scared-silly Yi Ju-Hui became trembling in his fingers.
This turned into the cause why she worked for the association and not for a huge Guild, and participated in easy raids like this one, despite the fact that she became nominally an wonderful Hunter with a rank as excessive as ‘B’.
Ju-Hui’s breathing became getting rougher via the second one.
He couldn’t let her be like this. He had to do some thing.
Jin-Woo become about to raise his frame up, thinking that he gotta do something here, however then, someone grabbed his shoulders and pushed him go into reverse, difficult.
“Don’t get up.”
It become Mister tune, come what may subsequent to the youth before all and sundry had noticed it. Jin-Woo was flustered, however nonetheless did as he become told.
tune then shouted at the alternative Hunters.
“no person move! stay exactly where you’re!”
tune looked round before focusing on Jin-Woo.
“best people who moved were given killed. those who listened to you and got down survived.”
“evidently way.”
song tilted his head slightly.
“I concept you warned us because you figured some thing out?”
“No, properly, I just felt something dangerous become coming, so….”
A flash of light brushed past music’s eyes just then.
‘His instincts are pretty exact, in different words. He’s a rank E Hunter? If simplest his capabilities were a bit higher….’
just as track stared at Jin-Woo with a rueful expression, Jin-Woo too determined a bit bit of leeway to check out the older Hunter’s condition.
And the children’s eyes unfolded wider after locating something pretty terrible.
“A-ahjussi, your, your… Your arm?!”
“that is nothing. i will still keep on.”
“but, but, nevertheless….”
Jin-Woo swallowed down his saliva.
music’s other hand that wasn’t urgent down on Jin-Woo’s shoulder, his left arm, became long gone.
“…”
tune studied Ju-Hui’s conditions for a bit, earlier than he took off the T-blouse he became wearing, and at the same time as now not even displaying the giant amount of ache he need to be feeling, he wrapped up what become left of his left arm.
“assist me tie up the stop, please? It’s difficult to so with most effective one hand.”
Jin-Woo could handiest nod his head then.
They had been able to in some way prevent the bleeding for now.
in preference to a scream or a pained moan, song let loose a protracted sigh. It turned into a sigh containing ten years’ really worth of experience as a Hunter.
“Fuu…..”
Now that the primary-aid turned into over, song’s gaze became a level sharper as he studied his environment. even though the god statue stopped attacking them, their scenario hadn’t improved inside the slightest.
and prefer so, seconds persisted to tick by using.
“Sob, sob….”
“simply why can we need to go through like this, this…..”
a few Hunters even started out losing tears now.
“we will’t stay like this all the time!!”
The endurance of the opposite Hunters was strolling out as well. Jin-Woo agreed with that sentiment, though.
‘proper, we are able to’t stay right here all the time.’
but, what could he possibly do right here? If music’s suspicion become correct, then the moment they moved, they’d get attacked.
And, although they got fortunate and controlled to steer clear of the beams and attain the door, there have been the 2 stone statues guarding the entrance to worry approximately, as well.
They had been a big hassle too, absolutely.
The movements of the doorkeepers have been so rapid that he couldn’t see it with his eyes. ought to he or anybody else open the door and escape earlier than those statues attacked them?
It sounded completely not possible.
Which supposed that the annihilation of the Hunters became just a matter of time.
‘Wait….. A remember of time?’
whilst his thoughts arrived there, a robust experience of disharmony crammed him up.
An event that couldn’t have came about, but it happened anyway.
however no one else seemed to have picked up on “it” yet.
‘some thing… We neglected some thing right here.’
honestly, the solution to their salvation hid in that ‘something’.
It changed into then.
“Don’t pass!”
music shouted at Mister Joo, who changed into on the a long way quit of the institution.
“shut up! Who is aware of while that component will begin attacking us once more!! but you want me to live here and wait?!”
Mister Joo turned into a near-fight kind Hunter.
these varieties of Hunters possessed some distance, a ways advanced bodily skills than everyday human beings. On pinnacle of this, Joo turned into approximately to sign on with a huge Guild after his talents have been stated by them no longer too long in the past as nicely.
“I’ll not die here these days.”
at the same time as preserving low to the floor, Joo positioned all his power down to his legs.
His goal turned into at the doorway.
The muscular tissues on his legs were swelling up speedy.
“D*mn it….”
music could handiest mutter out to himself.
right then, Joo kicked the floor and exploded forward.
in the meantime, Jin-Woo hurriedly became his head to look at the god statue. just as he suspected, the eyes of the statue had been constant on the again of mister Joo.
after which, the chilling red ray shot out from those eyes.
BUZZ!!
The beam slammed on the again of Mister Joo.
“Kkyaaahck!!”
The woman Hunter screamed at the pinnacle of her lungs.
She ought to’ve advanced a leak, because a puddle of yellow liquid shaped where she became squatting at the ground.
The expressions of the Hunters iced over, hard.
“Oh my god….”
Mister Joo not stood where the crimson beam flew beyond. only the pair of ownerless ankles will be visible now.
one of the men with a weaker constitution commenced emptying the contents of his belly.
“B-blergh!!”
Jin-Woo’s expression additionally crumpled as nicely.
As expected, the god statue may want to without difficulty finish them off if it felt find it irresistible. It’d be less difficult than stepping on squirming insects, simply.
‘If that’s the case, then…. Why hadn’t it?’
it is able to kill them, but it hadn’t executed that.
This turned into a totally different sample of behaviour in comparison to the monsters that attacked as quickly as recognizing human Hunters in their vicinity.
these statues only moved if positive situations were met: the doorkeepers that most effective attacked if a person approached the door; the eyes of the god statue firing that pink beam if a person moved.
It become like a recreation with a fixed law.
‘cling on… should there be a few form of rules on this chamber?’
It become right here that a chunk of puzzle located its area in Jin-Woo’s head. He started out recalling the contents of the stone slate track became analyzing not too lengthy in the past, that changed into why.
‘The legal guidelines of the… Karutenon temple, became it?’
‘regulation’ changed into ‘rules’, and ‘rules’ could be ‘legal guidelines’ as nicely.
the important thing to their secure escape from this camber needed to be buried inside the ones warnings observed on the stone slate.
“….Worship the god.”
That turned into the primary regulation.
“Mm? Did you just say something?”
music shifted his gaze lower back to Jin-Woo.
as opposed to a reply, Jin-Woo really placed his index finger on his lips. It turned into a signal asking for a bit of time to suppose.
‘If my mind are proper…’
Jin-Woo slowly rose up.
song hurriedly tried to stop the teenagers, but Jin-Woo shook his head even as wearing a determined expression.
‘….Doesn’t appear to be he gave up on living.’
tune nodded his head.
Jin-Woo kept his eyes educated squarely at the god statue and thoroughly stood up.
nearly right away, the eyes of the statue have been fixed on Jin-Woo.
BUZZZ!!
And as anticipated, the purple beam was fired in his route.
If he were given right down to the ground a moment slower, it’d be his face melting away, as opposed to a few strands of hair on pinnacle of his head!
lying face down at the ground, Jin-Woo breathed inside and out quite heavily.
“Heok, heok, heok, heok.”
He nearly died just then. the moment the statue’s eyes met his, he concept he turned into going to die for certain. He by some means did avert it, but his legs wouldn’t prevent shaking from the fear.
‘nevertheless….’
still, he learned something critical simply now.
‘It’s now not attacking someone who’s shifting around.’
as long as he changed into squatting low to the floor, he should pass everywhere he wanted to and the statue’s eyes might remain nonetheless.
but, if one stood up, then the red beam could be fired with out hesitation.
‘The d*mn element most effective attacks if we breach a sure peak.’
That became why Jin-Woo bet his life on proving this principle proper just now.
And now, he became sure of it.
The which means at the back of the first regulation, that was!
