Chapter 21 – 21. God Wills
“OMG!!! Coming up!!!!”
“The roof door has been breached!!!!”
“Poem, fuck!!!! Centipede!!!!”
The roof has already been breached.
Even zombies climbing up on centipedes.
It was obvious what would happen to non-Awakeners in this situation.
It is difficult even for the Awoken to survive.
Of course, those of us with the spray won’t die…
The moment the rooftop doorway exploded and the zombies poured in, I decided to run away.
Even if you use a spray and fight to protect the mart, you need that much firepower to kill special zombies, including warboys and zombie centipedes, which are harder than normal zombies.
In the end, I would have to use skills in succession, but I didn’t have the mana to do that. My manastat of 30 was far short of killing all visible special zombies.
However, I decided that it would be better to quickly escape to a place with fewer people and fewer zombies, since fighting while spraying too much, then taking a break and fighting again would be a fucking waste of time.
To be honest, I don’t have the will to save all the humans here, and there’s no way to save them, so I’ll have to say that I lost my job quickly. I didn’t feel heavy about leaving it.
Because in the first place, non-Awakeners were not valued beyond simple labor.
Bastards didn’t have skills that could be used for non-awakened subjects, and women weren’t worth forcing themselves to live with.
Still, if I had to pick out a few unfortunate points, I had to abandon a rare class mage, a 9-level battle slave who obeys well, and the mart I had conquered at best…
Is it worth a sit-in on the rooftop, using precious spray for the Ha brothers and a mage? It’s worth protecting while rolling like a dick… Is there anything in this mart?
There is no way to get out without spraying the yard that has already been opened to the roof entrance. I mean, is it worth giving them this precious spray? Since we share the spray, the three of us are too busy running away, but we can’t afford to take other slaves with us.
And even though there is not enough mana, it is full of special zombies that are difficult to kill without skills. There doesn’t seem to be any way to recapture the mart.
I honestly don’t know. Even if you use the spray generously and hold out until morning, the roof of the mart is already heavily attracted to aggro.
In many ways, there is no angle. It seemed better to just throw everything away neatly and run away with the three of us.
It’s a waste of slaves, but if you find another useful Awakener elsewhere, grab it. Food materials and daily necessities at the mart are also regrettable, but marts are not the only ones here.
Of course, if there are marts that are not penetrated by zombies even after the update, most of them are places where strong awakeners who have overcome such a high difficulty raid have settled down…
Wouldn’t there be at least a gap where the three of me, Eunji, and Harin could get in?
And even after the update, if you’re an Awoken enough to be able to walk around openly, you’ll be strong enough to be hard to catch…?
Now, after thinking about various things and calculating, I finally decided to run away.
“Where to choose?”
A peddler appeared in front of me.
The items he sells are likely to be a way out of this difficulty. To think that such a peddler appeared at the right time.
Could it be that the being that had a direct impact on my luck and class was looking at me and giving me a little help?
Could this be the support you gave me?
No matter how you look at it, the reason why the peddler suddenly appeared here right now, at this moment, is because of my lucky number of 666. And my unusual luck level and cultist class seem to be deeply related to the unknown ‘god’ mentioned in the human sacrifice skill.
‘God… What the hell do you want from me…? Are you sure you want to save the slaves and get the Mart back? Yes, losing the mart to zombies like this is a painful thing to do. Depending on how useful the goods sold by the peddlers are… Wouldn’t it be possible to recover the mart while saving two or three slaves?’
Maybe this is an opportunity God gave me.
It might be a revelation from God telling us not to throw away all the slaves we caught on the first day of the update.
Yes, it is clear that the mart full of food that was occupied with hard work should not be taken away like this.
The moment the peddler appeared in front of my eyes as if showing off, my affinity for ‘God’ skyrocketed.
For some reason, I must say that I can feel the gaze from somewhere across the sky.
Since 12:00 midnight when the update started, I’ve been feeling some kind of gaze.
I can’t shake the feeling that something is staring at me.
‘Dear God… If I go up in level this time, I’ll start with a human sacrifice.’
I’m not sure if it’s really the ‘God’ I think gave me this kind of help, but I decided to focus on the fact that this miracle happened.
It warms my heart to feel that I have received an anonymous aid from an unknown benefactor…
‘Yeah, no matter how unidentified the evil god is, if it’s helpful to me, wouldn’t it?’
I don’t think it’s bad to be close to that ‘god’ as long as I don’t take control of my body or give an idiot-like order to sacrifice Eunji or Harin. Maybe ‘God’ was aiming for this and helped me. To relieve my vigilance… Well, how is it?
“Hey!!! Hajinseong!!! Ha Jin Woo!!!! And!!! Come here all my slaves!!!!”
Slaves responded to my voice and ran around me.
They responded faithfully to my commands, regardless of whether or not the non-Awakened ones around them fell victim to the zombies.
“Oh, no!! Older brother! We all die like this! Uh? Who is this!”
“Fuck! What else is this bastard! Where did you come from?”
Brothers Ha Jin-seong and Ha Jin-woo, who hurriedly ran, saw the peddler and screamed while pointing their fingers at him.
Why are the two reactions the same? Is it because you’re a brother?
I don’t have time to answer their questions right now. I had to check the goods the peddlers were selling and make a decision whether to run away or save the slaves.
‘Yes, buy an item and try fighting, and if that doesn’t work, just take Eunji and Harin and run away.’
If the items the peddler sells are something that can help us get out of the crisis we are facing, I will try to save the other slaves and get them back to the mart. .
“You guys, stop zombies from coming near me as much as possible! If we do well, we will all live together.”
“Yes! Older brother!!!”
“OMG!!! You bastards!!!”
Hearing that they could buy them all, the Ha brothers began to slay the zombies riding the zombie centipede with enthusiasm, swinging their fists and kicking like crazy.
At the same time, Kim Min-joon and warrior Kim Il-woo also wielded their own weapons and pushed the zombies away.
If you get bitten by that… It’s a waste, but first of all, those guys have to buy time.
“It’s Eunji, Harin. Spray it on your face and fight! No, watch me!”
“Yes! Brother!”
“Yes!!”
Both of them were instructed to use repellents. I think if I get bitten by either of them, I’m going to be pretty mentally endangered.
First of all, those two have to keep me safe while I buy things.
“What should I do to buy this stuff?”
“Choose. Read the description. You just have to pay coins.”
There are a total of six items on the left board.
‘From the ring…!’
I picked up a ring with a green jewel.
[Chlorophyte Ring: Recovers a small amount of mana while moving or in combat.]
[Price: 1500C]
“Purchase!”
Bought right away can’t live with this I always had to sit still and rest to recover mana, but this was an object that made it unnecessary.
Thanks to the slaves earning coins in real time, it was possible to purchase quickly.
I immediately put on the ring and picked up a syringe full of blue liquid.
[TS injection: gender changes.]
[Price: 8000C]
‘No, why am I selling something like this?’
I don’t even have enough coins to buy in the first place. I have no intention of buying any more.
‘No, maybe… This might be fine for torture…’
I didn’t have time to think about it anymore, so I moved on to the next thing.
[Account creation card: You can be a player. A random class is given.]
[Price: 1500C]
It’s a great item that can turn a non-Awakener into an Awakener, but even this isn’t helpful in combat right away. If you buy this, you may not be able to buy anything else.
For now, hold off until tonight.
The remaining items are a red book each, a blue sleeping mask, and a black marble.
‘I don’t think all three of these things will help right now…’
For now, Eunji and Harin are working hard, so let’s check them all.
[Salamander Summon Scroll: Raise a cute little flame lizard.]
[Price: 700C]
It’s interesting, but I don’t think Salamanders will help in the fight right now.
Now it’s a situation where you have to summon a big fire dragon instead of a small and cute lizard.
[Blue Dream Eyepatch: After wearing it, all old fatigue is relieved while sleeping.]
[Price: 250C]
The price is cheap, but this is also an item that is not useful in combat right away.
‘Finally… Please come out with something decent…’
Gradually, the thought of running away came to my mind.
[Care of Black Death: Increases mana by 200 when consumed. 22% chance of instant death.]
[-CAUTION- Don’t eat twice! The body can explode!]
[Price: 3333C]
‘This is… Shiva… Ah… Crazy…’
I feel like the guy who ate it will die…
It’s something I’m reluctant to eat… But something I can’t give up. It increases mana by 200!!!
If taken right away, an item that could turn the dark tide of war in an instant came out.
It’s probably something that’s being sold with the intention of making a life gacha at a relatively low price.
Wouldn’t this mean that the youngsters who are cornered at the end of their lives should eat at least this?
It’s almost like a suicide pill. 22% instant death…
‘Instant death by 22%… A real life-and-death gamble…’
Fortunately, the coins I have accumulated so far are sufficient.
Slaves are being supplied in real time.
You can buy it
‘Shall I feed Hwang Soo-min…?’
Hwang Soo-min, a mage, was the job that needed the most mana. Of course, as a cultist, I’m always chronically short of mana, but…
‘If I feed this and use magic, I think I can protect the mart…’
But what if Hwang Soo-min is fed it and then goes after it?
22% is a pretty high probability. In fact, shouldn’t it be considered that if you eat almost anything, you will die.
If Hwang Soo-min ate this and died, it would be a waste of slaves, a waste of Naedan, and a waste of coins.
You’ve wasted your time
‘Then what I eat…’
Can I get past that 22 percent?
‘Even though the fucking luck number is 666…’
Of course, I don’t have any thoughts of relying only on the lucky numbers.
There’s no such thing as confidence that you won’t die.
But now I feel like I won’t die even if I eat this…
I unconsciously looked up at the sky.
Like a sincere religious person seeking answers from God.
‘Can I eat it…?’
A night sky where only the big moon and stars silently twinkle.
I could still feel someone’s gaze on me, but there was no reply.
If I had gotten close to God by taking the human sacrifice skill, would he have given me the right answer?
‘Haa… If you eat this… Now it’s time to say goodbye to the mana tribe. A whopping 200 mana increase. 200 words. This is a really fucking ridiculous figure.’
It’s like increasing it by 200.
I have no idea how many levels I have to raise to reach it.
Considering that stats randomly increase between 1 and 5 when the level rises by 1, increasing by 200 at once is no joke.
And now, the moment I take this, only mana will be 230, so I can make dozens of slaves in a row while using both hands to summon tentacles.
You can melt all of them, whether they be War Boys, Zombie Centipedes, or Nabals, with your unclean touch.
The various skills I will acquire in the future will definitely consume a lot of mana. Isn’t this something that should be eaten unconditionally? A chance to become a Munchkin…!
‘Mana 200…’
I will never give up on this
Okay, close your eyes and just eat.
It’s an emotional feeling, but I think I can eat it. For some reason, it feels like the god in the high place is nodding at me.
‘When it comes to gambling, I’m Jang Jo-joon… Strangely, I’ve been good at drawing since I was a kid.’
In fact, I was thrilled with the explanation that it would increase mana by 200 from the beginning.
‘Jang Jo-jun… You actually wanted to try it from the beginning…’
That’s right. Even the price is much cheaper than TS injections. If you don’t eat this, you won’t progress.
‘Ha… Shiva. I was going to eat it anyway, but I thought about it for too long… A lion…’
There is no more time to ponder.
When I checked out of the corner of my eye, Eunji and Harin were still killing zombies leisurely. But it looks like he’s breathing hard.
Warrior Kim Il-woo was being beaten and crushed by War Boy.
Archer Lee Eun-hye was also screaming while running away like crazy from the zombie centipede.
The Ha brothers are also surrounded by zombies and on the verge of being hunted down.
Hwang Soo-min seems to have already run out of mana.
Kim Min-joon, where did this bastard go?
“Purchase!”
I quickly purchased the inner hem of the black thread.
God is watching me…
I wish I could eat it and die…
Please! Good luck 666 work…!
“Haa… Fuck!!!”
I closed my eyes tightly and put the inner hem of the black silk into my mouth.
I don’t think there was a need to gamble like this… But my soul is speaking.
You absolutely have to eat this.
If I don’t eat it, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life, I’ll have to hold on to the stuffy mana box and live my life calculating the mana consumption feverishly in my head. Never do that This is your chance..!
Gulp!
[Mana increases by 200 due to the effect of taking ‘Inside of the Black Death’!]
[Excellent! Mana stat has exceeded 100!!!]
[Mana flows through the body! All stats except mana stat increase by 10!]
[Achievement achieved! ‘Inside of the Black Death’]
[Achievement achieved! ‘A gamble with one’s life’
[Achievement achieved! ‘Mana User’]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]
“OMG!!!!”
Done!
My body trembles with the thrill.
I can feel the rich energy of mana nestled inside my body!!!
“Oh God!!!!”
Shouted to the sky
I’m helping you at this point, but as a real human sacrifice, I’ll send you a generous amount of sacrifices.
Those who will be killed as sacrifices will come out if you find them. Manatong is 230, what should I be afraid of?
As soon as her mana rose, she used her skill.
“Al-Raqum-Rruhe!”
Immediately, a purple magic circle is created and tentacles shoot out from the hand.
Strangely, the tentacle that spewed out with a more powerful feeling than before grabbed and crushed the head of War Boy who was trying to kill Kim Il-woo in an instant, and grabbed and crushed all three zombie centipedes and unknown special zombies that were chasing Lee Eun-hye around him.
[The level has risen by 1.]
“Done!!!!”
The moment you kill a number of special zombies, your level rises.
I caught a lot of normal zombies over the weekend, but the level that didn’t go up went up.
“Oh, brother…!”
“Master! Uh? Well, something… Seems to have changed…?!”
“No, more than that, oppa, how are we doing? Are you going to keep fighting?”
When I entered the battle, Eunji and Harin, who had been arguing with the War Boys for a while, called me.
Will you run away I am asking if I will continue to fight here. The eyes of the two making a choice.
The surroundings are a mess of zombies and human corpses.
Fortunately or unfortunately, there are still a few non-Awakened who survived this melee.
The Awoken are all alive.
“Keep fighting. Ras-Zakun.”
After casting the spell, the palms of both hands secreted sticky green mucus.
It is the effect of the skill ‘Unclean Touch’. Consumes 3 mana when activated once. Corrupts, corrodes, and melts the target in contact. If you touch it, it’s a zombie or something, and you die.
218 mana remaining.
Summon tentacles to kill 5 special zombies at the same time, consuming 6 mana. In succession, Unholy Touch was activated on both hands, and 6 were consumed again.
Tentacle Summon 2 times remaining, this is a skill that should not be used excessively.
So from now on, let’s spray and kill all the special zombies with unclean touch for 2 hours.
You can only use Unholy Touch 72 times, and while fighting, Mana will regenerate with the Erythrite Ring.
I feel like I can do anything now.
“It starts with special zombies! You’re trying to take our nest! You fucking bastards!!!”
“Once I get it!”
“Yes! Master!”
I think Eunji and Harin can still fight more.
If you kill all the special zombies, you can kill the rest with Paroo.
It’s worth a try.
