34 – Stand up and resist
-This is Priest. We succeeded in rescuing the test subjects… But it looks like the villains remain.
“Either take them and run away, or keep searching. And the villains don’t have to worry. “Because Jewel went.”
-What, is it already over? If this were the case, should I have just gone in the direction where the boss is?
“There is no need. Because this one is almost over. And Ash. You know it’s already over. “Don’t think anything strange, go straight to the priest and get treatment.”
-Eh… No, you’re talking behind my back even though I know you’re listening?! No, this is an earlier story!
“Is this my part-time job?”
As the news of victory continued to come in, Hyunwoo smiled and put the sword he was holding into his sheath.
Eunji has nothing to worry about. There was no way she could have died here with her skills in the first place. Probably, no. She would definitely have been burned in the aftermath of her own powers – but since Eugene was here, even the wounds would be healed right away.
“I guess we should finish this soon.”
Now there is no one to stop them, and the only remaining variable is that people from outside will notice something strange and come to stop them-
“What about information merchants and saboteurs?”
-The evil brigade continues to engage the heroes. Needless to say, heroes.
“Good.”
They are busy fighting each other, so you won’t be able to come and interfere. Unless you knew that there was a laboratory in the basement of the hotel in the first place, even if you came, you would leave without complaining.
Hyeonu nods his head and moves forward, and Zero shakes off his dagger and places it in his arms before moving after him. Blood splattered from Zero’s dagger and dripped onto the ground, but even if a little blood was splattered in a place already filled with blood, there was no way it would be noticeable.
-It’s terrible.
“Are you one of the people who created this scene?”
-You know very well that that’s not what I’m saying.
“I’m kidding… It’s terrible.”
The corpses of the villains rolling around in the passage they were walking through. Among them, there were a lot of monsters with unknown shapes stuck to them, and they shook their heads as they remembered the monsters they had just fought.
-Did it change due to the influence of that mask?
“No. “It’s just a monster created by combining failed experiments.”
A monster created by combining failed experiments. After hearing those words, Zero wrinkled his expression and touched the corner of his masked mouth, and Hyunwoo smiled bitterly as he looked at him.
They are the test subjects, just like Eugene and Sang-hoon, who are forcibly brought in and have their very existence like their names erased and are either turned into monsters or given identification numbers and become slaves.
“Are you angry?”
-It won’t be a nice death.
“Okay. Do whatever you want. Just leave the test subject in front alone.”
-Even I wouldn’t kill my comrades.
“That’s fine.”
Zero continued the conversation by typing on his phone keyboard with a frown on his face. Hyunwoo shrugged his shoulders and looked at the end of the long passage.
“It looks like they only want to kill you?”
A huge square appears that makes it hard to believe it is underground, and numerous capsules appear inside it. The door above was standing still with its mouth wide open, and those who appeared from the ground were-
“Kerrr!
“Krrr!”
Numerous experimental subjects – or, more accurately, failed experiments that were experimental subjects,
“The enemies have arrived.”
“This is an order to dispose of it.”
‘Successful works’ wearing red necklaces around their necks and moving like machines.
“You said it with your own mouth? “Don’t kill me.”
-This might be a little tricky.
It’s a little tricky. Isn’t it just a little bit tricky in the current situation? Hyunwoo smiled bitterly, raised his finger, pointed at the necks of successful artists, and opened his mouth.
“Just cut off that necklace and you will be released. “It’s a bit much, but try your best.”
-What about the boss?
“I have to go inside and block it.”
This laboratory, which looks like a huge plaza, is not the end. To explain it through the game – those are miscellaneous mobs, and those who will become mid-bosses and chapter bosses appear only when you go through that door on the wall.
-Wouldn’t it be dangerous?
“It may be dangerous.”
After writing down the last word, Zero put it in his pocket, ignoring the voice that was flowing out –
“But it won’t be that dangerous right now.”
He spoke with confidence and rushed forward.
“Krrrt!”
“Be loud, motherf*cker.”
The monster charging in front flaps its huge arms and tries to crush it, but as soon as the sword drawn from its sheath is swung, the monster splits in half. He glanced at the blood pouring out of the translucent body, which looked like a frog’s inflated cheeks, and stretched out his hand to the side.
Kang! Kang! Kang!
Numerous capsules hit the sword and make strange sounds,

Quaaang!
Cracks created from the cut capsules extend to the floor and begin to split apart.
The monsters running towards the cracked ground hesitated, and Hyunwoo looked at them and moved forward-
“Stop it- huh?!”
Individual abilities are activated in the hands of the test subjects who try to block Hyunwoo, but Hyunwoo just runs forward, believing in Zero.
So he arrived at the inner door without much interference and-
-Please insert your ID card to verify your identity.
“f*ck you.”
I swung my sword towards the door that seemed solid and complicated at first glance, from which I heard a mechanical sound.
The door split in half and collapsed, and he rushed inside, eventually arriving in another space-
“…Already arrived? “They’re such monsters.”
I faced a huge space with numerous mechanical devices and a mid-boss who stood up in confusion and fiddled with the gas mask he was wearing.
“I don’t know where the information was leaked from. Even if I ask you, you won’t answer, right? Huh?”
“Of course.”
“I guess so… It’s annoying, it’s annoying!”
A black gas mask covers everything from head to face, and where the eyes protrude, there are red-tinted lenses. As he moves his arms, the mechanical arms on his back move dizzyingly and make clanking sounds, and soon numerous firearms protrude from his palms, aiming at Hyunwoo.
A mad scientist who modified himself. He is a strong man whose abilities are on the verge of going from flowering to full bloom. The villain Reaper, the mid-boss of this game, moves to deal with anyone who gets in his way.
Can you fight alone and win?
Hyunwoo pressed the nose of his mask and began to worry while looking at the strangely moving mechanical arms.
Villain Ripper. Although he has the ability to spread poison into the air, he isn’t that annoying. Rather, what is more annoying is their combat ability to keep them in check by firing guns from a distance, and to attack by swinging their arms when they get close.
If you think about it normally, it would have been better to come with Zero and defeat him easily – but even though the middle boss and final boss were in one place, the reason why he ran alone was clear.
“65%…”
A capsule shining behind the villain. A small girl floating in a place filled with green liquid and a mechanism that was different in size from the capsules we had seen so far.
“As expected, he hasn’t woken up yet.”
Numbers written on the red glowing electronic display board on the ceiling above the capsule. The game said 100% from the beginning, and as soon as you enter the boss room, you will fight right away while being controlled – but he was already far ahead at that point, so it was natural for this to happen.
The final boss of the eighth chapter has not yet awakened, and the longer time passes, the more likely it is that that girl will wake up. Because he knew that fact, he probably rushed in alone even in situations that could have been dangerous.
As a test, Hyunwoo places his sword on the floor and activates his ability.
The target is complex mechanical devices that make various sounds. Furthermore, there are numerous wires and iron pipes connected to the capsule.
Skipping the battle with the mid-boss and preventing the final boss from waking up would be the same as using a bug in the game, but if you think about it that way in the first place, the test subjects that should have been running wild outside in the first place were not released. The situation has already changed significantly, so isn’t this okay?
“…Tsk.”
I thought so, but it didn’t go that easily either.
“hahahaha. It’s the ability to cut! There’s no way I wouldn’t have dealt with it, right? Huh? Common sense! Even if they don’t have that kind of ability, there are many people with the ability to destroy this place, right? But do you think I would have ignored that and moved on?”
The moment he was about to bring the sword, one of the numerous mechanical arms pressed a button on the machine behind it, and soon the wall began to emit a strange red light – the sword that bounced on the red-hot floor was unharmed, but it gradually split and cracked. The ground where I had to get up was still the same.
“What do you think? Are you suddenly feeling like things aren’t going your way? That’s exactly how I feel right now! “You damn trash bastard!”
Reaper is still laughing and screaming like crazy. He immediately put both his hands in his waistband, drew his two pistols, and-
“It’s so noisy, really.”
After swearing, Hyunwoo glared at him and grabbed his sword.
