Chapter 49 – Three Gateways (1)

Kududududk

And at the same time the dagger ripped through the air.

“Goddamnit!”

‘Goddamnit… he’s too fast.’

The guy who had messed up their plans as a whole at Central Island.

Since if his skills were the same as when he saw him then, it wouldn’t be hard to catch him with his clansmen.

He had prepared it because he was confident in winning.

That guy, for some reason, did not use any skills.

And their gears weren’t even comparable to others, they also had increased their battle strength by consuming other adventurers climbing the tower.

But this was all a huge miscalculation.

‘Why did he go to a different island if he was that strong?’

Nothing much to say about the guys who were caught off guard since they worked from the dark.

Thinking about it, it had only been two months since they got here.

No matter how many people they sliced apart for two months, they were still humans.

It felt like he had gone through countless years of work where he killed people.

Keeping an eye on the whole battlefield and moving in directions where he wouldn’t get surrounded.

And then he would ruthlessly slice apart those who chase him with his chain scythe and his dagger.

There wasn’t a single case where his attacks did not hit a fatal location.

And because they couldn’t not defend, the gap they barely closed widened while they defended.
Their artifacts were unique and strong ones as well but his scythe and dagger were so strong that every time they clashed weapons, their weapons would break along with their bones.

‘Goddamnit…’

‘Goddamnit… will we be able to catch him before his stamina runs out?’

The time when the most amount of stamina is consumed is when someone goes through attacks as well as defending actions.

He didn’t know much but if his stamina was at the same level as his strength or perception then those movements won’t stop until all of them got ripped apart.

“Uuaaaka!”

There were a few who could stick close by him.

Wongyung had regarded this skill very highly and had distributed this skill to his clansmen who had high defense and resistances.

They had high defenses and resistances to go against their weapons and ripped the enemy apart after getting close to the enemy with their defensive artifacts.
He had 20 of these guys.

‘If we can just tie him down then we can kill him.’

Since he was bleeding from the occasional blades that got to him.

‘Goddamnit… He would’ve died if he had come up through the portal.’

The only thing he could trust in was them.

“Die!”

A blade was ruthlessly getting close to Hansoo.

Though it was hard to read the rune stats of a leisurely guy, he could clearly read the stats of someone who was fighting with all their strength.

Hansoo followed those movements as he slashed at the side of that guy’s sword with his dagger.

His strength was not average and Hansoo’s hand, which held the dagger that deflected the sword, trembled as it started to bleed.
And the attack which Hansoo had deflected sliced into his own shoulder.

Even if you can completely dodge or defend against an attack, you shouldn’t do so.

And then you will just get surrounded by the enemies who are charging at you.

Even if he allowed them to attack he could not let them close the gap.

The attack bore deep into his shoulder as it started to bleed.

‘And… I’m not really losing out either.’

Hansoo held the chain scythe, which had cut through the guy’s artery, and swung the chain scythe all around him again as he started to repeat the tedious work.

First, absorbing all the runes that were dropped as well as using the dropped artifacts for defense and offense.

His core was being a Lord.

And of course when the clansmen who should be attacking fall back to defend him, he gets a bit of a breather.

‘…I guess I cannot let the clansmen live.’

Wongyung was ordering his clansmen even more ruthlessly as his life was starting to get threatened.

He was also losing health as well.

‘Dark Mad Lord… Let’s stop here this time.’
Hansoo made a cold expression as he tore through the Dark Mad Lord’s clansmen at an intensified rate.

“Goddamnit… goddamnit.”

“You bastard! What do you have against me to the point where you would go this far!”

But he knew now.

He didn’t know how Hansoo had known of his existence but he was definitely moving around while targeting him.

“You bitch! Why are you doing this to me when I haven’t done anything wrong to you! Huh? We aren’t like sworn enemies or something, why are you chasing me this far, what sin have I committed! Is it because I killed people? Huh? Is that it? Or because I didn’t follow the rules that you spread around?”

And he could’ve found his missing son with this strength.

Because of this one guy.

The uncanny rules that he heard from Guktae.
‘This damnable guy… what is he for him to set such rules at us?’

Hansoo shook his head at those words.

He wasn’t killing them because they broke the rules.

This was the same thing as getting hold of an American and imposing Korean rules to them.

He also didn’t have the leisure to chase them all down and kill them off because they broke the rules.

It was a future plan and he had to find a different method to solve that.

“Then why are you…”

Hansoo muttered quietly.

There were a few things that he needed to do in his plans.

Eres or Keldian would’ve come instead.

Even if he had to kill off everyone in the tutorial area in order to accomplish his set plans then he would’ve done so.

But because they didn’t want this, they had set up a plan which had the least amount of casualties.

But the thing was, even if they tried to reduce the amount of casualties there were occasions where casualties were needed to catch up to their difficult goals.

Deciding who had to die in order for them to get to the next stage.

Or those who had the possibility of causing the most amount of damage to humanity or committed the most sins, those who would have their death called for by others when they found out later.

No, just like how Keldian said, it wouldn’t be possible for him to get to the level of clearing the dungeon even if he was to hunt for a month.

In conclusion, he hadn’t come here to give them judgement because they had broken the rules, they weren’t dying because he was right and they were wrong.

Since the number of people who have died in these guys’ hands won’t change.

“Don’t think about it too much. Isn’t it easier to think that you tried to kill me and we clashed because of that? Truthfully speaking, I think that’s enough of a reason.”

“You were just running towards your own goal and I the same. We just clashed while doing so and the one who got crushed was you this time. You have crushed others so well up to this point, why are you making an expression like you’re suffering an injustice?”

‘This guy is just like me.’

He had thought that when he tried to lead everyone in Central Island, that was his true character.

But that wasn’t it.

This was his true character.

Like how he could kill countless number of people in order to achieve his goals, that guy could also do that with no hesitation.
Except he was much thorough than himself.

Hansoo suddenly thought of Kangtae’s words as he looked at Wongyung.

<…You don’t become a hero by catching evil-doers.>

<…You definitely cannot go.>

Since his sanity had come back after his death got guaranteed.

He had constantly killed people as he got stronger.

And at the same time he thought of this.

And this world did not have any rules or society to stop that but rather encouraged him.

‘I could eventually be stepped on or eaten by somebody else like this too.’

‘It came much faster than I had thought.’

Wongyung sighed deeply as he spoke while looking at Hansoo:

He could only save his daughter if he were to put in a normal human being.

And when Hansoo shook his head as he expected, he sighed as he spoke his last words:

Hansoo shook his head as he spoke at Wongyung who was explaining his son’s characteristics.

“…”

“Goddamnit. What are you talking about untill the end…”

Hansoo looked at the dead Dark Mad Lord with a complex look and then got up while shaking his head.

There wasn’t much time.
Hansoo looked around at the hundred plus corpses around him and then looked towards the starting location where he had come from.

“Hnng.. Damn. When can we go…”.

While they were chasing him, they were caught by him when he suddenly changed his path and rushed towards them.

‘Damnit… did he expect one or two people to follow him from the start?’

Since it felt like an ‘Accident’ may happen if she didn’t listen.

‘Damnit. Should I just go?’

“What. What did you do?”

‘She really didn’t follow.’

Since there would be traces of the soot that filled up the whole of the third floor.

Since she wouldn’t be able to figure it out even if she went.

“It’s better to not know. You’ve done well so go on your way now.”

And then Gyungmi narrowed her eyes.

Gyungmi made a strange expression but then shook her head.

It seemed like he wanted to hide something but then it might really become dangerous once she tried to pry into it.

She was curious but she couldn’t not distinguish between fire and water.

‘I don’t even want to think about it. Stop thinking about it. Stop thinking about it.’

Gyungmi took her clansmen as she proceeded forward at a very fast pace.

Her sixth sense had told her instinctively.

But her only clue was her sixth sense.

‘Well. It’s nothing I need to know about.’

“Oh my. People came again. Then shall I start the explanation? About this cross right? Oh no. It increased by three more.”
Gyungmi made a suspicious expression as she looked at the fairy.
