Chapter 24 – Sky Road (3)

As soon as the people got to the land, the bridge got destroyed.

If they can’t climb up fast enough, then they would fall along with this island.

Since it looked like they were all from different tutorial areas and were strangers, Hanchul started his story.

‘…needle?’

Hanchul shouted as he looked at Hansoo.

Hansoo shrugged his shoulders.

The rest who had seen this made a helpless expression.

Of course there indeed existed a path through the center of the jungle.

‘What is this guy’

As long as he wasn’t somebody who treated their lives like flipping a coin, acting like that meant he had confidence.

The exact area that the bridge was attached to just until now.

It meant that it will not let them rest even for a moment.

It was a straight path anyway, there was no other paths.

Hanchul didn’t really feel comfortable but he decided to leave him alone because his ruthless attitude was rather burdensome.

Hanchul mumbled as he followed him.

‘Let’s see. With the central Dormant Volcano as the center of direction… the eighth room on the left of the lava river, so turn rightwards twice and once left…’

And the place he needed to find for this.

The structure of all 100 of the 1st level of the stair islands was the same.

So as long as you follow the path as you memorized than you could find the forest.
And as soon as the fork on the road appeared, Hansoo smoothly turned right.

‘Well it’s actually the same no matter where you go’

If he wasn’t going to find the habitat for the Rune Pattern Snake then he would’ve just gone in any direction.

“Wait. You said you were just going in a straight line before? Do you perhaps know something else?”

He had tested earlier. To see if he could move to the other roads on the side.

Which meant they had to go straight.
Which made sense until now when he decided to go right in a fork on the road like this without hesitating.

Hansoo looked at Hanchul and then spoke.

“What?”

Everyone who had been following made groans.

But to think that he had no plans.

Hansoo sighed as he spoke.

“…”

He didn’t know why he was following that guy like that.

‘My pride suddenly feels damaged. Do I take it?’

Hanchul shook his head.

And more so if the island behind them was getting destroyed one by one.

It’ll be the same no matter which way they go.

Hanchul checked the people in the group.

Everyone seemed normal but there was somebody else that stood out.

From his walk and the fact that he had the healing skill, it seemed like his stats were good.

He probably wouldn’t attach something to dangle on his waist if he wasn’t going to use it.

The rest seemed normal but were even more unique.
A couple and three daughters whom seemed around twenty.

Halchul mumbled after seeing this.

They got separated on the first area on random.

But Hansoo knew the reason.

There’s no other reason. This was it.

Since bringing them like had higher chances of created more interesting situations.
‘Well. That’s just how they want it’

Hansoo, who had stopped his thoughts, stopped walking as he stopped in front of a weird looking tree next to the road.

“…What are you doing?”

“Why do you need to neutralize the poison?”

Kududuk

In an instant a 3m long snake that stretched down from the trees bit the spot where Hanchul was standing.

Hanchul got flustered at an extreme speed.
Hansoo chuckled at this.

The one just now was this fast because it was an agility pattern so as long as you are careful of ambushes then it wasn’t that bad.

A unique beast that gained extra stats depending on the pattern on its skin.

And if there are mana rune patterns on its body one also needed to be careful of the poison.

And whilst the mana burned, your magic power as well as health were also affected.

The bark of the oak tree which it lived in had some sort of antidote-like effect due to it being rubbed against its scales but it was best to just not get bitten by it at all.

“Always be careful of being bit while it has mana runes up and attack when it doesn’t have agility runes up. You can dodge the agility runes if you are careful of ambushes but it will still be hard to catch.”

“Psychic powers”

Hansoo, who had completed his talk, went into the jungle and everyone else stared at each other but followed him in with frowns as they felt the vibrations behind them into the jungle where the snakes were.

Kududuk

Hanchul grinded his teeth at the snake which did not die even after getting hit by his sword and had bit into his flesh.

‘Such difficult beasts…’

And the way their runes changed was random.

He had thought that he could kill this snake instantly just now because it had strength runes up but then it instantly changed to physical resistance rune, resisted his attack and bit into his flesh.

‘Damn… there isn’t time to regenerate much either’
Since he had some stamina runes he needed time to regenerate but he constantly heard the damnable island crumble behind him so he did not have the leisure to rest to recover before moving on.

But there was a bigger problem than the snakes.

Only five of the nine had been fighting.

Well they weren’t idling to be exact.

The man hardened his face at Hanchul’s rage.

‘Damnit… family means a free pass?”
Then what would happen to the guys fighting in the front.

This was a difficulty meant for 9 people.

But because four people were doing nothing the others were struggling.

Ok. He could understand the family man but why was the guy with the heal, who was holding a sword, wasn’t fighting too?

He did not understand.

And then Kangmin, the guy holding the sword, chuckled as he spoke.

“…”

‘This yankee, then why are you holding onto a sword?’

Hanchul started to calm down his mind.

‘Yeah. Let’s think of him as a healer. A healer.’

But Hanchul had to curse at Kangmin’s words that came out afterwards.

“This motherfucker…”

Was this something a person doing a team play should be saying.

He wasn’t fighting in the front because he wanted to.

He was probably good at fighting.

But then to not fight despite having so much battle powers.

‘Is this bitch not fighting because then we will get hurt more?’

It might be an over exaggeration but there was a high possibility.

“But shouldn’t you fight more zealously? I think I can hear the island slowly crumble from behind?”

Hanchul grinded his teeth.

Regeneration was a necessity.

If he didn’t heal this then his battle powers will fall and the speed at which he got stronger will slow down because the rate at which he gained runes will also drop.
And if you take into account of the fact that stronger beasts will continue to come out then healing was really a necessity.

If that guy was asking for excessive prices that he would’ve just killed him.

But sadly the amount he offered was a very reasonable price for healing.

And to continue the relationship where they profited from each other.

That guy was holding onto the dangerous situation as if it was a chance but this meant their lives will get harder.

‘Bitch. The healer is all that huh’

As he saw it, this guy had understood his worth in that instant and laid down these calculations.

He had somewhat of an idea how this yankee had gained runes and gotten strong.

Since if he was somebody who will do that then he would’ve become a mess during the 1st tutorial area and would not have had the time to negotiate like this.

It wasn’t that his skill rune will drop with a 100% chance even if you killed him.

And especially in a time limited situation like this.

“Are you just gonna leave that alone?”

He didn’t particularly intrude even if they fought or didn’t fight.

“Here are some runes. Please heal my wife”

It would usually be a very warming view but Hanchul’s situation was too dire to look at it in such a way.

‘A shit hand. I pulled a real shit hand’

A crazy bitch. A heal seller and three harmonious family members.

Hanchul’s face expression turned cold.

‘I don’t know… if these guys are worthy enough to take’


Hanchul, who had finished the conversation with his friend and leader Hyunjin, started to walk as if nothing happened.

He had thought that he was criticizing Hansoo but Hanchul believed in the existence of psychic powers.

But there was a guy watching Hanchul.

Trait

A trait which made them into a leader and the leader becoming a trait, a trait that made somebody into a .
Hansoo showed a conspicuous color as he looked at the small symbol that appeared for a moment and then disappeared on the back of Hanchul’s hand.
