48. Massacre
The people watching couldn’t believe their eyes.
There is no way a person with their head cut off will survive.
However, there was clear evidence before my eyes to deny it.
Hwang Yong-min is turning his head here and there.
‘Hwang Yong-min is not dead.’
Ryumin already knew.
That Hwang Yong-min will be resurrected.
‘This is the hidden rule for this round. If you die, you will be resurrected 10 minutes later.’
Dead people come back to life?
It made no sense, but since there was a resurrection skill, there was nothing strange about it.
“Haaaam. Huh?”
Hwang Yong-min, who was yawning profusely as if he had just woken up, looks at his surroundings and is startled.
‘what? ‘Why are people looking at me?’
It’s not just something you see.
He’s looking at me like he’s looking at a zombie.
Hwang Yong-min could not help but be confused.
Because he didn’t even realize he was dead.
This is because his throat was cut so quickly.
‘But isn’t it strange? I was clearly talking to the black scythe, but this situation… … .’
I felt like the film cut off in the middle of drinking.
Hwang Yong-min looked around, not knowing that the black scythe had killed him.
The players are startled and say something incomprehensible.
“Yes, the person came back to life!”
“He was resurrected like Jesus!”
“Ha, hallelujah! Hallelujah!”
“What a hallelujah in this situation! It seems like the system has revived me!”
“Could it be that in this round, even if you kill someone, they will be resurrected?”
“Then you can kill as much as you want…?”
The players looked at each other.
Murder spreads in the eyes.
“If you survive even if I kill you…”
“It might not matter if I just kill anyone….”
Everyone drew their weapons.
The fact that he could be resurrected even if he died eased his guilt about murder.
“Everyone, calm down! I’m not sure if I’ll be resurrected or not, but making a hasty move is… kahak!”
The woman whose back was cut stumbled.
Before I could come to my senses due to someone’s surprise attack.
Phew!
The sword stuck in the back pierced through the belly skin.
“You die first, you bitch! Die!!!”
Puff-puff-puff!
A man who had been arguing with a woman a little while ago stabbed the woman as if he was going crazy.
“Haha, haha.”
The pure white floor suddenly turned red.
The man’s nickname also turned red.
“Hurry up and survive! We have to fight again!”
I killed her thinking she would be resurrected, but she didn’t move.
“What? Why aren’t you alive?”
The question was answered through the mouths of other players.
“I don’t think it will be resurrected right away.”
“I see there is a cooldown?”
“Now that I think about it, it took 10 minutes for that person to be resurrected!”
“Why don’t you all wait and see if that woman comes back to life?”
The players, who had tacitly agreed, spent their time in silence.
Once it becomes clear that even if you kill it, it will be resurrected, you will be able to kill it without hesitation.
Time passed, exactly 10 minutes.
At that time, people could see the resurrection process in detail.
As if time were turning back, the blood is absorbed and the wound is healed.
The sagging woman stands up like a jiangshi and regains her original appearance.
“Hhaaaaam.”
Like Hwang Yong-min, the woman who was yawning came to her senses due to a memory that suddenly occurred to her.
“f*ck you, what kind of bastard! Who attacked you from behind?”
As the woman quickly turns her head, she sees a man smiling.
“It’s me, you bitch.”
Suddenly!
This time, the man who killed him by cutting off his head laughed.
“Everyone! Have you seen it? I’m sure it will be revived in 10 minutes.”
“That’s right. Now I can kill with peace of mind!”
Although the resurrection ability was proven, people were not willing to move.
However, it was true that it was difficult to commit murder.
but.
‘People tend to get swept up in the atmosphere.’
As some players started killing, others got competitive and started swinging knives at each other.
Creep – Creep!
“Ouch!”
“die!”
“Aaaah!”
There was no specific goal set.
He simply casted a knife attack at a seemingly random person without asking questions.
“Hey, this dog! It’s sick!”
“I’m sorry! No hard feelings!”
“Try it too!”
“Ah! Stop! Stop resisting and die! You’ll be resurrected anyway!”
“Then you die, Sitpal!”
The once pure white space was instantly stained with blood, like paint on drawing paper.
The number of fluorescent nicknames gradually decreased.
The sight of about a thousand players fighting each other was reminiscent of war.
‘It’s time. ‘It’s time to move.’
Ryumin held the scythe and moved slowly.
“Huh? Black scythe….”
Suddenly!
It instantly ended the life of a passing player.
It was a consideration to not feel pain.
Creep – Creep – Creep!
The massacre began among the players.
Four heads fell off with one scythe.
Because there was so much chaos, most people were unaware of Ryumin’s antics.
Not to mention the players who died on him.
That doesn’t mean it’s not noticeable, though.
Because some players approached Ryumin from behind like stray cats.
Sneaky.
The players approached from behind and swung their swords without Ryumin noticing.
‘Now! porridge… … !’
There was a flash of light, and the upper bodies of the three players slid to the floor.
Flutter- flutter- flutter-!
Everyone died with their eyes open in shock.
It was a face that asked how I noticed.
‘As long as there is presence detection, there is no way a surprise attack would work on me.’
Ryumin sneered.
Even with your eyes closed, you can read the signs around you, so there is no need to worry about being attacked.
After about 10 minutes, the dead players slowly came back to life.
It was the same whether you died twice or three times.
There was no limit to the number of resurrections.
There is only a 10 minute cooldown.
“Heeheehee! Die! Die!”
Among the players, there was one slayer who particularly stood out.
It was [a black flame dragon in the right hand].
‘And then there was that guy.’
It was no exaggeration to say that the 4th round stage was a stage for the Black Flame Dragon.
‘For a guy with [Rune of Absorption], the current situation is no different from a banquet.’
The Black Flame Dragon on his right hand is an entity that had contact with Ryumin in reality.
Therefore, I knew very well how dangerous his runes were.
Ryumin narrowed his eyes when he saw Black Flame Dragon’s nickname.
‘Seeing as the color has become quite dark, I guess they killed about 10 people?’
It was a similar record to Ryu Min.
The more you kill, the darker the nickname becomes.
‘That guy needs to be retired a few times.’
Ryumin moved to eliminate competitors.
* * *
“Heeheehee! Hahahaha!”
The black flame dragon in his right hand was drunk on murder.
It’s not that he didn’t, but the [Rune of Absorption] he had encouraged the murder.
‘Even if you kill a player, the stack goes up. ‘It’s a complete mess, isn’t it?’
The rune of absorption is a rune that increases a certain amount of stack when you kill an opponent.
If you fill the stack like that, you will be given one stat at random.
‘I knew it would go up when I caught a monster, but I never thought it would go up if I killed a player.’
The Black Flame Dragon swung its ax and cut the shoulder of a stranger.
“Ouch…!”
“Die! Die! Die!”
He struck the man several times as if chopping firewood, turning him into a piece of meat.
‘Whoa, I guess my level was high, so my stack went up quite a bit, right?’
Not all players had the same stack.
Depending on the level of the opponent, some gave a lot and some gave a little.
‘He’s probably at the same level as me, but if you give me this much stack… … .’
The Black Flame Dragon imagined for a moment.
How much will your stack increase if you kill the highest level black scythe in the area?
‘Isn’t it right to fill up the stack and get 1 stat?’
That was very likely, but I shook my head to erase the thought.
This is because the possibility of killing the black scythe was small.
‘it’s okay. What kind of disaster would you face if you messed with a big guy? ‘I need to catch these people and grow up.’
Wow!
I took a picture of the back of the head of a player whose face I didn’t even know.
‘sorry. ‘I don’t hold any grudges.’
Poop-poop-!
I hit it a few more times and finished it off.
The black flame dragon’s ax blow was filled with emotion.
‘Hehe, my stress has completely melted away.’
The stress I’ve been under lately hasn’t been enough.
In the last three rounds alone, I was manipulated by Cho Joong-sik into leadership and acted as a useless escort.
‘I couldn’t hunt properly because of that gangster bastard.’
Black Flame Dragon is a talented person who ranks 3rd in the district rankings.
I still feel embarrassed when I think about not receiving the ranking reward because of the breakfast and lunch.
‘I’m glad though. Because this round is for me.’
Others gain nothing from killing the player, but not you.
You can become stronger by building up your stats.
‘At this point, I need to make up for the growth I lost in the last round.’
I am level 10 and have a warrior job, but this is not enough.
‘Do you think I’ll fall behind like this? There is pride in being ranked 3rd in the district.’
It bothered me that I had to kill people, but so what?
It’s not like I’m really dying.
‘You keep resurrecting anyway, right? It’s easy if you think of it as a game.’
The Black Flame Dragon did not think this was murder.
‘It’s just a well-made virtual reality game, and what’s in front of you is just a piece of data.’
When I changed my mind like that, surprisingly, I didn’t mind killing people.
The unpleasant sensation I felt when I committed my first murder a little while ago seemed to have dulled.
‘How many people have you killed so far? ‘I have to kill as many people as possible to be ranked, right?’
The Black Flame Dragon grinned.
The prey continues to respawn.
What better environment could there be for him?
I looked around, looking for my next prey.
Players can be seen fighting frantically, with blood splattering around.
‘Shall we go that way this time? Hehe.’
Compared to his skills, he is no different from insignificant prey.
The black flame dragon, which was about to take a step, stopped for a moment.
I encountered a wild beast right in front of me.
A reaper holding a large scythe.
‘uh? ‘Black scythe?’
That moment.
Duwoong-
My vision darkened.
“What? What’s going on?”
“Why did it suddenly go dark?”
There were voices of panic around him, but the person who was more embarrassed than anyone else was the Black Flame Dragon himself.
This is because the large black scythe was vaguely visible for a moment.
‘What, what? Has the scythe become translucent?’
There was something else that was even more embarrassing.
Because the Shinigami exploded towards me.
“W-what!”
Is this what it feels like when a lion suddenly charges at you in the grassland?
My whole body stiffened at a speed I couldn’t even imagine.
Knowing that it was targeting him, he tried to respond with an axe.
‘what?’
Before I knew it, the world was spinning.
I saw my own body, which had lost its head.
‘Oh, he’s dead.’
Is it because the weapon has become translucent?
I couldn’t even see when I swung it.
‘As for the black scythe… … I should have avoided it… … .’
With that thought in conclusion.
Tuk-
The Black Flame Dragon’s head fell to the floor.
* * *
“die!”
“너나 죽어, 개새끼야!”
In a bloody battle filled with shouts and screams, Hwang Yong-min still couldn’t shake off the dazed feeling.
‘People have been resurrected, really.’
A little while ago, I clearly witnessed the resurrection of a woman who had been stabbed.
‘Is it really possible to be resurrected in just 10 minutes?’
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.
However, he didn’t realize that he had died.
‘Hehe, that’s good, that’s good. ‘This is my chance to get revenge on those bastards who turned their backs on me.’
Hwang Yong-min looked around and made his way through the crowd, as if they were all set to kill each other.
‘Where are you, Kim Seung-han! Where are you!’
Although it was difficult to find one’s friend among a thousand people.
‘There it is, giggle.’
It wasn’t just impossible.
Hwang Yong-min shouted with a happy face.
“Seunghan!”
I even waved my hand, but he didn’t notice because it was drowned out by the surrounding sounds.
They are just busy watching their surroundings with anxious eyes.
‘Hehe, you idiot. Look how scared he got a stat penalty.’
I approached the guy from behind with the intention of surprising him.
“Hey! Seunghan Kim!”
When I call him from close by, he turns around in surprise.
“Nice to meet you, Gaeshaya!”
I immediately stuck my fist in his face.
“Whoa!”
I hit the stumbling guy with blood splattering straight out in succession.
I climbed on top of the fallen guy’s body and suppressed his movements.
“Kim Seung -han, this X cub.
puck-!
“Keueuuuuu.”
“Try killing him sometime, okay?”
I raised my fist like a hammer and hit only the guy’s face.
puck-! puck-!
I hit him until he was covered in blood.
‘I’m not as good as Tyson’s nuclear fist because of the penalty, but I can kill at least this much without a problem.’
Only after hitting him more than twenty times did he stop punching.
His face was crushed and he stopped moving, so he was definitely dead.
“Ha, I feel a bit relieved now.”
Hwang Yong-min stood up and looked around.
‘Where are the other bastards?’
There were still many friends to kill.
