Chapter 16 – Altar (1)

Boooom

Kududuk

And in that moment the needle in Hansoo’s right hand and the Katana in his left hand rapidly embroidered the air

An Elite Goblin’s Katana that came out whilst hunting.

Since as long as you can slash with it then a weapon that can slash is more comfortable to use then a weapon that stabs.

‘Goddamit’

Whilst she was unguarded for a moment, a bird had flown towards her.

Shugak

“I’ve received help again.”

Hansoo watched her as he spoke

Hansoo then proceeded to divide up the runes on the ground.
Extremely accurately as usual.

‘Has it already been two days’

It was almost the fourth day now.

Mihee checked her runes as she picked up the runes.

[Jin Mihee] Strength: 27.4

Agility: 18.1

Mana: 18

Rotating Ring: 2.1%

The rotating ring which they had gained during hunting was also something she had bought which Hansoo had obtained.

With just this much there was nothing lacking because in the real world it would be almost at the level of a superhuman.

Since she can see where the bullet will be shot by looking at the trigger of the finger and dodge them all.

Hansoo, who had seen Mihee do this, checked his own stats.

[Kang Hansoo] Strength: 54.3

Agility: 42.1

Mana: 22
Magic Resistance: 13

‘Good’

You couldn’t compare stats in pairs but strength and stamina, agility and perception had a close relationship with each other.

If one were to move properly in the sped up time from agility they needed to have high perception and it wouldn’t matter how high your perception was if your body didn’t follow.

Thankfully he had Mihee who was rather lacking in strength and stamina so he raised his perception and agility while trading their runes around.

At that point a small voice was heard in Hansoo and Mihee ears.

Mihee frowned at the familiar voice

Hansoo spoke as he looked at Mihee.

Mihee nodded at those words.

“Do you perhaps have a girlfriend? Ah… would you even remember.”

Mihee had developed quite a liking to Hansoo recently.

Since she knew what happened to the people who crossed the line.

Since it was like an adult looking over a child, it was rather leisurely.

And her mind was much more at ease when she figured that out.
Because he felt like someone that would deal with her no matter what she did.

‘Huh.’

‘Now that I think about it, if that Gangtae guy came he would’ve been so happy that he’d have thrown a fit’

But Hansoo shook his head.

He had too long of a road to travel to do that.

“I don’t remember.”
Hansoo walked towards the Gangnam station they had met at the beginning and Mihee followed him in a hurry shortly after watching him for a while.

The place where they had started was already swarming with people.

Without that it was likely that their numbers would’ve been much lower.

‘They were all alive!’

‘But the situation is a little strange’

Whilst she was frowning as she saw the weird tension, the air suddenly split.

“Greetings! Everybody! I’m here today with two very very good news!”

“The first good news is that if you hold onto 72 more hours then you can get out of here!”

The people had heard the news but didn’t really make a happy expression.

No, since this was the tutorial it was obvious that they were going to a more dangerous location.

“I think I know what you’re feeling. But when you hear the next story you will think that this is a very good news”
And as the people stared at the fairy, it flicked its fingers.

Kugugugugugu

Something rapidly shot up from the small movements of the hand.

‘…Altar?’

It definitely had a similar form to the altars at the ancient aztec grounds.

“It’s a magical altar. There lives a very cute pet inside.”

Then the altar shone bluish as it turned transparent.

And the people gulped as they saw the creature within it.

Something that resembled the Alien.

The thing inside the altar was scratching the wall of the altar as if it was pissed at something.
An even more frightening thing was that every time it scratched the wall, parts of it would fall apart as it made grinding sounds.

“Can you see it? Its called . But our friend here is very hungry right now. Since there’s nothing to eat in there it wants to come out of there right now. We starved it for a whole day for this.”

“As you can see the Altar is very good in terms of looks but it isn’t really useful. It will probably get destroyed soon. Since its a structure that is faithful it’s design.”

Everyone knew.

If that altar fell then they would all get eaten.

The people then realized why the fairy said the earlier news was a good news.
Because in other words, after 72 hours they didn’t have to be in the same space as the monster.

‘Wait it said there were two good news before’

“I said there were 2 good news before right? Thankfully there is a way to make him fall asleep. If he falls asleep then he would naturally stop scratching the wall to come out right?”

Since it had shown what happened to someone who questioned it before.

“The answer is very simple. Five a day.”

“If you give him five people as food then he would fall asleep. Since its 72 hours you would need to give him food three times right?”

Everyone clenched their teeth at these words.

It meant that only if they use a quarter of the people they had now then that beast wouldn’t escape.

As someone had this thought in their mind, the fairy spoke again.

And then the fairy played a short clip in people’s heads.

The people who had seen this made an extremely frightened expression.

The beast that was released was basically causing a massacre.

And the beast that had escaped didn’t just stop after eating five.

They had fought with combined strength but every time it ate somebody its health rose and the injuries on its body healed.

The beast which had eaten everybody was left alone as if nothing happened.

“…”

One of the people who had seen the clip asked whilst clenching their teeth.

Then the fairy answered with a strange expression

“…”

“…”

“By the way you should decide within an hour. If you put in a sacrifice then you will be safe for 24 hours. And then if you put in more in the next hour after that you will be safe again. Then be strong for the remaining 72 hours. Bye!”
And then the fairy disappeared just like that.

The people started to mumble.

That fighting was impossible.

Whilst they were guarding against each other a man spoke out.

Then one person smirked.
“Why do we need to be fair?”

At those words everybody looked at that direction.

‘It’s Sangjin… and friends’

The scars all over the body meant that they were converged in battles until now.
‘And it seems there’s something different about Sangjin…’

His confidence was overflowing. And he was standing in the middle as if he was doing the work that Taesoon was doing instead.

“Then what do you want to do?”

Sangjin replied to those words.
“Isn’t it obvious that we should throw in the 5 most useless people first?”

Everyone frowned at those words.

Sangjin walked forward as he watched the people and spoke.

Everyone started to whisper and mumble.

Everyone nodded at those words.
Since they were all thinking along those lines too.

There wasn’t a game where the difficulty lessened as you proceeded.

As the people looked at him, Sangjin shouted loudly.

And then Sangjin smacked the building next to him

The wall of the building blew off from Sangjin’s fists.

‘When did he get so…’

She could be certain. Since she had followed Hansoo and hunted along with him she had grown faster than anybody.

If his strength was that much than his other stats were probably similar.

“So isn’t it obvious that we put in the weak ones first? Hansoo what are your thoughts?”
At those words everybody looked over to the direction Sangjin spoke to.
