Chapter 867 – 867. God’s Atlantis
“Area 6,999, facing the church in heavy rain.”
“This is a special hidden area.”
「Stay alive and defeat the enemy.」
“The king of demons is watching you.”
“The master of the sky is watching you.”
「The messenger of prophecy reveals its presence.」
“The first curse has been confirmed.”
「Chill. Feeling the cold, 10% of all stats decrease.”
“An hour later, the second curse will fall.”
I checked the notification window that popped up. As if the effects of the curse were true, my body suddenly became heavy.
10%.
You may think it’s only 10%, but the higher your stats, the 10% drop is more noticeable than ever. It’s close to 20% or more, and it feels like my condition itself is collapsing.
Joo Seohyun and I quickly changed our clothes and ran out of the warehouse. I should have summoned a weapon, but Joo Seo-hyun didn’t have a weapon at the moment, so he grabbed a suitable tree branch. Even a branch would be quite useful to her due to the effect of her unique trait, Sword Emperor (S), which she has.
Bang!
I smashed open the door of the chapel and went inside. Confusion reigned within the chapel. People expressed their anxiety.
“What, what?! A special hidden area? I’ve never heard of it!”
“For now, calm down and act calmly. Does anyone know what kind of throne the messenger of prophecy is?”
“Fuck. If I knew something like this would happen, I would have saved a wagon even if it was impossible.”
It was upsetting.
They drew their weapons and gathered in groups to guard each other.
“Quaaaaa!”
A woman screamed loud enough to cover up the commotion. Everyone’s eyes were on her, then she moved to where her eyes were.
The ceiling of the chapel.
A man was hanging there like a pendulum. Blood drips from his half-slit neck. There was a hole in the ceiling beside it.
The chapel fell silent as if it had been doused with water. Those who live here are not easy-going ordinary people. Their experience does not allow them to be horrified and vomit at the sight of a corpse. The screaming woman is the odd one here.
“Comin!”
“Comyn was by my side until just now!”
“This, get off Comin first!”
A series of groups began to carefully lower the body.
Joo Seohyun and I approached the party with stiff faces. Fortunately, everyone in the group was unharmed. However, Lee Min-jung is trembling with fear, and Yoo Seo-hee is in a bad mood at first glance, and she doesn’t look good. Lil’ Snae held her bow in her hand and calmly lowered her pupils, spreading her senses around her.
Prepared to use magic at any time to lure. Ji Young-bin also raises a weapon and is vigilant.
“Yoo In-ha, Ji Young-bin. How did this happen? Please explain.”
“…….”
I rolled my enticing eyes and looked at Ji Young-bin. I remembered that Yoo In-ha was dozing before leaving the chapel with Joo Seo-hyun.
“Sung Yujin. Let me explain. So, about a minute ago, the ceiling suddenly exploded. We thought it was just a thunderbolt, but when we looked closely, there were no traces of lightning.”
“… Something heavy had fallen from the ceiling. The only thing that fell to the floor was the wreckage of the ceiling.”
Lilsne continued. According to her, something mysterious had entered through the ceiling and was hiding somewhere in the chapel.
I spread my feelings Search every nook and cranny of the chapel. Nothing was felt.
‘… Either it’s strong enough that I can’t find it with my intuition, or it doesn’t exist.’
I clicked my tongue. If Kang Myung-jin had been here, the situation would have been different. Because Kang Myung-jin has a dragon eye (S). Finding hidden things was Kang Myung-jin’s specialty.
“For now, let’s not move hastily and remain vigilant. Yoo In-ha Can you use barrier magic?”
“… I’ve been trying since a while ago, but the barrier itself doesn’t activate. A special power here is interfering.”
“It’s a hit. Okay. All a little more stuck. Don’t worry if there’s a wall behind you. There are monsters hiding in the walls. In particular, if you are a demon, the wall is more dangerous.”
They moved according to my directions.
“It’s a demon… It is terrifying to think about.”
Ji Young-bin was disgusted. Said to have been in the Marine Corps, he was afraid of ghosts.
“… Now that it’s like this, can’t we just run away from the church?”
Joo Seohyun said. She discarded the branch and drew her sword. Her sword name hums as she tenses up. Joo Seohyun has already surpassed me when it comes to pure swordsmanship, excluding all stats and skills.
“This is a special hidden area.”
“… What is that special hidden area?”
“It is a kind of disaster. Normal areas don’t move. Someone has to find it and attack the area. However, the special hidden area is not in a fixed place and devours people while walking around. Just like now.”
The special hidden area was a natural disaster such as a storm. But if you’re lucky, you can win the lottery. After clearing the special hidden area, you can receive a reward.
Clink!
Four men broke the windows of the chapel. Rain and wind blow into the chapel not only from the ceiling but also from the windows.
“It’s stupid to go head-on. Let’s go out the window!”
“Damn it… What kind of lightning is this?”
They stretched their feet out of the window. And got stuck I was blocked by something invisible and couldn’t go outside.
“Mo, I can’t move… Hmmm?!”
Something dark appeared outside. I strained my eyes and looked at it. It was a lion dressed as a pastor. No, the torso was human, but only the head was a lion.
The lion opened his mouth and ate the man he snatched up proudly.
“The messenger of the prophecy was that guy. Lils!”
“Yes!”
Lils and I both attacked the lion at the same time. Lightning and arrows split the air, but they couldn’t get out of the window and were blocked by something invisible.
“This is an unusual approach.”
“A penalty is given. Your body will be paralyzed for 5 seconds.”
Hehe!”
The lion-headed pastor, who quickly chewed up the heads of the two men, let out an eerie laugh. The lion looked around at the people remaining inside the chapel and disappeared like a mist of mud.
“Is that pastor, Domenico?”
“Yes. Maybe.”
The most suspicious guy here. Only Domenico. I clicked my tongue and sparked a thunderbolt in the bonfire that had been extinguished by the rainstorm and rekindled it. Lil Snae pricked up her ears and more seriously guarded her surroundings.
“Submaster.”
Ji Young-bin called me.
“What should I do now?”
“You have to wait. Until the rules set in the hidden area are revealed. I’ll tell you in advance. Follow the rules of the area as thoroughly as possible. Following the rules is the easiest and safest way to attack this area.”
Everyone nodded seriously. Another group of people heard me and started talking among themselves.
“Lee Min-jung. It’s okay? You don’t look well?”
Lee Min-jung’s face darkened. She is breaking out in a cold sweat and clutching two shortswords in both her hands. Her trembling body seemed unsteady.
“Okay, it’s okay. I can fight.”
This doesn’t work. Lee Min-jung is now more unstable than usual. I don’t know for sure, as I have an absolute mind, but the special hidden area might be working badly.
Others seemed to have the same thoughts as me.
“Yoo Seo-hee. How about you?”
“… I feel bad. Still, it’s not to the extent that I can’t fight.”
Even if not to the extent of Lee Min-jung, Yoo Seo-hee’s complexion was pale. It seems that he is not in good shape.
I checked the notification window again.
“Area 6,999, facing the church in heavy rain.”
“This is a special hidden area.”
「Stay alive and defeat the enemy.」
Survive and kill enemies. This is probably the target of the attack. The enemy must be the pastor. In other words, surviving right now is the top priority.
More than 30 minutes passed. When nothing happened, the tense atmosphere loosened. Humans were creatures of adaptation, and they are beginning to adapt even in this situation.
“I, Sub Master.”
I, who had been watching Lee Min-jung, turned to Ji Young-bin.
“What is going on?”
“How about collaborating with others? I had a brief chat with the Anlei Legion and the others over there, but they weren’t bad people. Wouldn’t it be better to survive if we stick together?”
I chuckled. It wasn’t worth answering. Recognizing what that meant, Youngbin Ji squinted her eyes. If it was Kang Myung-jin, I would have persuaded him, but I wasn’t. He had no intention of caring about Ji Young-bin or the like.
“The second curse has been confirmed.”
“Sacrifice. Two of the survivors must sacrifice.”
「Remaining time: 3 hours.」
“If no victims appear in time, 4 people will die.”
Everyone who checked the notification window hardened their faces.
I got up from my seat. Then I approached two men sitting in the corner. Originally there were four, but half were eaten by the lion-headed pastor Domenico.
“What, what is it?”
“Don’t come. If you come any closer, I won’t stay still.”
They raised their swords It was funny. They were too weak to kick me out. I ignored their warnings and approached. They swung their swords, but nothing touched my body.
My hands held their faces.
‘Thunderbolt.’
An electric current sufficient to light up the chapel in an instant flows through them. It didn’t take long for them to fall to the ground as corpses.
“The second curse is lifted.”
“Two victims occurred within three minutes.”
“The hidden condition has been met.”
「A special reward is given.」
“Only one person you choose can safely get out of the church in the heavy rain in Area 6999.”
“The option expires after 10 minutes.”
“The king of demons is having fun.”
“The king of demons hints that you should choose yourself.”
I ignored the words of the King of Heaven. The king of demons seemed to want me to abandon the company, but he couldn’t abandon my lovely pussies.
“The submaster of the A-Plan Legion. Stop there.”
People’s eyes turned to me.
“What is going on?”
“Do you have anything to say to us?”
“No.”
“…… You chose the victim without consulting us. No, murdered We consider you the most dangerous enemy after the pastor.”
“Are you going to fight me as a group?”
Dismissal.
The man who spoke confidently hesitated as he caused a thunderbolt in his hand.
“Hey, give me a chance. Hand the choice over to us.”
“If you had seen the notification window, you would have known. The option is a reward given to me and expires in 10 minutes. And only one can escape from this. Which of you will escape?”
“…….”
They looked at each other and couldn’t make a hasty decision. Currently, there are 27 people in the chapel. Divided into 6 groups And they had no obligation to hand over their lifelines to each other.
“Sell me. In return, I will give you this famous sword.”
A man showed me his sword.
“Trash.”
I laughed at him and approached his group. The reactions of the companions were different. It wasn’t a very good feeling. Joo Seo-hyun looks at me with disapproving eyes, and even Lils’s eyes are complicated. Ji Young-bin was openly dissatisfied with his eyes. Yoo Seo-hee was the only one who smiled at me.
“Submaster. Did you have to kill them right away?”
“If I didn’t kill two, four would have died. Or do you think we should choose a victim by voting amicably?”
“… That…. Sorry.”
Jiyoungbin sighed and apologized.
I looked around and said.
“I will choose Yoo Seo-hee as an option. Anyone dissatisfied?”
Jiyoungbin opened her mouth.
“Submaster. Wouldn’t it be better to choose Minjeong?”
“If you choose Minjeong, you will be left alone outside. Looking at Minjeong’s condition now, I think that would be more dangerous.”
“…….”
Everyone shut up. It was an affirmation of my words.
Yoo Seo-hee’s direct fighting ability is at the bottom among us, and she is not in good condition. It is right to choose Yoo Seo-hee in a cool way.
“Yu, Mr. Eugene. I can fight!”
“Know. Please wait outside.”
She grabbed her by the shoulder and said firmly.
“… If Yujin’s intention is true…. I see.”
“I chose Yoo Seo-hee.”
“Yoo Seo-hee is leaving Area 6,999.”
Yoo Seo-hee disappeared without a trace.
