The feeling of a cool blade on the neck.
Chul-woo Kang was more nervous than ever.
So this voice must not be false.
It was the voice I had heard, the voice of that young guild member of the guild.
‘All sounds!’
Chul-woo Kang raised his eyes.
Eoneum was a method of conveying meaning without voice, similar to the message magic used by magic players.
The exclusive property of the unmanned, an art that can only be used at least at its peak.
-This is not the time to be thinking about that.
“I will ask you one last time. will you die?”
The voice of Lee Rowoon and the voice of the six girls made Kang Chul-woo sound at the same time.
-If you drag more, you will die. If you want to live, say so.
Lee Rowoon’s voice sounded like a devil’s whisper.
-I’m going to prove that I’m not a demon.
Lee Rowoon looked at Kang Chul-woo and sent a message.
Clash with the Haenam Guild was essential for his own purpose anyway.
You can do it yourself, but I tried to use them to minimize damage until I met Bondeno, the peculiarity of a dungeon.
‘Now is the right time.’
The sacrificial circle.
I should have prepared something like this.
Perhaps this was the best move Bondeno could have prepared.
Then there is no more use value for them.
‘Follow me. At least I’ll help you not to die.’
The words that Cheol-Woo Kang said to himself.
Kang Cheol-woo was risking his life to protect it now.
‘I don’t hate people like that.’
So I gave him a chance.
It’s up to him to choose whether to seize the opportunity or not.
“Answer me!”
The shout of the six girls.
“Don’t… .”
At last, Kang Chul-woo’s mouth opened.
“I will prove that I am not a demon.”
Lee Rowoon and Six Geol smiled at the same time.
“Yes, it should be. Aren’t you also the ones receiving support from Haenam in the end? will fight for the devil. I understand the cause of your sacrifice for that.”
At last, the sword that was aimed at Kang Chul-woo’s neck was removed.
“Choose the subject quickly. There is no time.”
At the urging of the six girls, Cheol Woo turned around and looked at the players.
Players frightened as if they were facing their fate.
Kang Cheol-woo looked at Lee Ro-woon, giving them only a brief glance.
It was like asking what to do.
-Those who will rise to the sacrificial magic circle.
Lee Rowoon spoke through the whole tone.
-Send the shadow guild.
The sacrificial magic circle, with ten people standing on it.
In the center of it stood Lee Rowoon, a man with a languid expression.
“Oh my gosh… .”
“Why… .”
I heard swear words from the player formation.
“Why don’t you activate it…? .”
Min and players are building defenses from a distance.
The moment a person climbed up to activate the sacrificial magic circle, the wall fell and was trapped, so it was the greatest place they could retreat.
They were watching the sacrificial magic circle without hiding their tension.
Ten people climbed up, but the magic circle still didn’t activate.
Chul-woo Kang bit his lip.
“Why isn’t it triggered?”
The question of the six girls.
“The sacrifice… It seems to be lacking.”
The number of sacrifices it needs to be activated, i.e., the number of humans it has to touch, is different for each circle.
They didn’t even understand the magic circle.
I didn’t know how many sacrifices were needed before the magic circle was activated.
“Then upload more.”
He said that it was too obvious.
In a hurry.
He bit his teeth so tightly that a delicate noise resounded from Cheol-woo’s molars.
Kang Cheol-woo saw the benefit again.
-Put it up.
-instead.
The devil whispers.
I don’t know how far to believe, or if there really is a way.
But, aren’t they directly in the magic circle?
As if you couldn’t believe it even though you’ve done this.
-List those who need to be saved.
It was then that Kang Chul-woo was able to understand a little bit what was going to happen.
I don’t know how this is possible.
‘But surely those who ascend to the magic circle live.’
And that choice was given to him.
“What are you doing!”
Cheol-woo looked at the players at the shouts of the six girls.
Everyone avoided Kang Chul-woo’s gaze.
Because being called on now was like putting your head on a beheading table.
“Kim Minho… go up.”
The first choice was a new player who joined the Gyodong guild this time.
He was just over twenty and shouted that he would become as strong as himself later.
Hold on.
I saw Minho Kim clenching his fists.
Minho Kim, who had stopped at the shouts of the unmanned, began to move.
Kim Min-ho, who suddenly approached Cheol-woo’s side.
“Wow, don’t blame me… I won’t. I can’t tell.”
I wanted to stop doing this dog-like thing right away and vomit all my anger towards the six girls.
But the result is obvious.
To die by their blade and lose everything.
If there was no way to live, I might have done it.
‘I believe.’
If the devil’s words were true, this would have been better.
Minho Kim, who had stopped in front of the magic circle, finally stepped out.
Another life weight is added to the magic circle.
Players prepared for the coming destruction by activating their protective skills and items in front of the uninhabited.
It’s quiet enough to make the noise of sweat dripping.
“Ha… !”
I was out of breath immediately.
“Hey, damn it!”
The magic circle still didn’t activate, as if the offering wasn’t enough.
Minho Kim tried to pass the magic circle, shaking as if he was going to pee in his pants at any moment.
The will to escape from the fear must have paralyzed his reason.
“Are you going to kill them all?”
A cold voice stopped Minho Kim’s movements.
If you try to pass through the sacrificial magic circle as it is, the whole connected with the sacrificial circle will collapse.
The runaway will show more destruction than the sacrificial magic circle triggers.
“I’d rather… .”
“Shut up and stand.”
Kim Min-ho wanted them all to die, but he stood still at Lee Row-oon’s cold voice.
“Next!”
The chosen ones continued to come toward the magic circle at the cries of the six girls.
The first selected Gyodong guild members silently climbed on top of the magic circle while sending resentment.
All of a sudden, at nineteen, there were a fair number of players in the magic circle.
Still… .
“Why-!”
The sacrificial magic circle was not activated.
“Next, upload it.”
He said six or four with bloodshot eyes.
The name continued.
One weight is added to the magic circle.
“You motherfucker.”
“I will curse you.”
“Do you think you can make a living?”
They were pushed on their backs by the warriors, and as they climbed up on the magic circle, they poured curse words towards Cheol Woo.
Cheol-woo Kang is pushing them into death right now, but he is not going up on his own.
‘How long… .’
I couldn’t finish it even though I couldn’t see the end.
“Up!”
Players continued to rise to the shouts of the six girls.
The last thirty-eight player climbed up.
They were all looking at one place.
“Whoa… .”
The two remaining players.
It was Kang Chul-woo of the Gyodong guild and the old man who was the guild leader of the Gyeyang guild.
Thirty-eight people have already gone up, and it would not be strange to activate the sacrificial magic circle at any time.
Add that.
– I am thirty-nine.
Lee Rowoon’s voice said.
When the 39th person arrives, the magic circle will be activated.
It was now time to choose the last person who could live.
“You must have a reason.”
Kang Cheol-woo, Gyeyang guild leader, and Im Ha-soon have been together for a long time.
“In my mind, I wanted to stand there right away, so don’t even stand there now.”
Cheol-woo Kang’s name was not even given, but Ha-soon Lim was heading towards the magic circle.
‘Yes, this is correct.’
Chul-woo Kang closed his eyes tightly.
I missed the chance to live.
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t sorry.
Nevertheless.
‘I’m not a dog at the last minute.’
I have no more regrets.
The last moment Im Ha-soon climbed into the magic circle… .
“Get ready!”
Now, only the uninhabited remained, preparing to stop the explosion.
But nothing happened in the awkward silence that settled down the aisle.
“Why?”
Chul-woo Kang said with a stupid expression.
I think there were 40. What are you doing.
The center of the magic circle, Lee Rowoon, seemed to be grinning and smiling.
-Come up.
Stupid Kang Chul-woo.
“What are you doing?”
He pushed Kang Chul-woo’s back with his scabbard.
“Go up. Don’t forget your cause.”
Chul-woo Kang opened his eyes as he was pushed by the scabbard.
I don’t even know what it is anymore.
The feeling of wanting to be as it should be.
Unlike those who have not been able to take their footsteps easily except for the Shadow Guild, Kang Chul-woo approached the magic circle without hesitation.
“In the end, it’s here.”
Im Ha-soon’s voice is filled with passion.
Those who cursed Kang Cheol-woo turned their heads without seeing Cheol-woo’s face properly.
I thought it was really the last time, and it was the moment when Cheol Woo climbed the magic circle.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
A bright halo began to seep into the magic circle that had never changed.
“Activate! Get ready!”
The six girls shouted and swung their swords and spread their swords.
Other masters raised their self-defense force to the maximum and prepared for an explosion.
Explosion from the magic circle.
The explosion… .
Wow, quack, quaw, quaw, quawk!
It started from the passage.
“Keek! Kek!”
An explosion of a completely different scale from the magic circles I’ve encountered while passing through the dungeon.
It would not be strange if the dungeon itself collapsed.
“Sa, live… Kellogg! Are you alive?”
The players standing on top of the magic circle were coughing up the smoke and making faces in disbelief.
Even if their bodies are charred and covered in charcoal soot.
“Sa, you’re alive!”
They were alive.
“What happened… ?”
“There’s an explosion coming out of the aisle!”
It was literally true.
A huge explosion that could destroy the entire dungeon.
It came out of the passage, not above the magic circle.
As if to prove that fact, the place where the former warriors stood had completely collapsed and was full of rubble.
The skins exposed in between.
Chul-woo Kang also murmured in disbelief.
The proposal I accepted because I thought there was no way.
And it wasn’t the devil.
“Didn’t I tell you how to live?”
Cheol-Woo hurriedly looked at the owner of the voice at the drowsy voice.
He stood there without a single soot, surrounded by the shadowy guild members.
“Doing useless things.”
“It is our role to ensure that there is no damage to the body.”
They mumbled something inexplicable.
“Oh, I knew… uh?”
Chul-woo Kang said to Yi-woon.
Be aware that the explosion of the sacrificial circle will occur from the passage, not from above the circle.
“If you think about the axis of the magic circle, its shape, and its three-dimensional shape, you can easily figure it out. In the first place, it’s called the sacrificial magic circle, right? It is said that it leads to the passage of the magic circle. The wall blocking the way out when standing on top of the magic circle is proof of that.”
It was an unintelligible sound.
“Four or forty people are sacrifices?”
“That’s not it.”
Lee Rowoon tapped the floor with her feet.
“I modified it a bit. I can’t draw or activate the magic circle right now, but I can touch the transformation. The original condition for the magic circle to activate is one sacrifice.”
Everyone listening to Lee Rowoon broke out in a cold sweat.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t that mean that everyone in the aisle would explode and die the moment someone stood on top of the sacrificial magic circle?
“Ha ha ha… .”
Cheol-woo Kang laughed out of his mind.
-39 people, 40 people.
What the hell was that?
At the time when I was confused by the relief and disappointment of living, and this unbelievable thing.
Did hard!
The rubble piled up in the aisle began to shake.
“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
An explosion-like shout rang out from within.
Bang!
In the exploding wreckage, a black energy like a rough wave was pouring towards Lee Rowoon.
