Chapter 22 – 22. Selection
We ran forward vigorously.
“Uuuuu!!!!”
“Sah, save me!!! Aww!!!!”
“Poem, fuck!!!
Survivors and zombies shuffle around and scream. There is no such thing as a mess.
‘I’d rather be killed by zombies, should I just make a human sacrifice and grind it with my own hands..?’
I suddenly had that thought, but right now there is no time to film skills.
Due to the nature of my job, choosing a skill is accompanied by a severe headache. Probably the moment I shoot the skill, I’ll sit down and drool and become unable to fight.
I can’t waste a minute or a second in the yard with zombie repellent spray.
We plan to kill all the special zombies on the roof, so we shouldn’t waste time.
“Catch War Boy first!!! Eunji and Harin break those bastards’ legs!”
“Yes!!!”
“All right!!!”
More than a dozen Warboys climbed onto the roof.
They were making a mess on the rooftop by smashing zombies without distinction with their 3-meter-tall bodies.
“Hey!!!!”
Harin shouted at her and ran forward. She was delivered entirely to the monkey spanner her tightened muscles were gripping.
Bang!
Only one room.
It shattered War Boy’s right knee. Simple, ignorant violence by overwhelming muscle strength knocked down a 3-meter-high monster.
Thud!
“Aaaaa!!!!!”
Warboy screaming as he falls on his broken knee. That’s right. Because his head is down.
“Die!!!”
I grabbed the guy’s head with my left hand dripping with green ooze.
Chee Hee!!!
With smoke as if flesh were burning, War Boy’s head turned into green slime and was ripped out.
“Ugh..!!!”
A terrible smell stung his nostrils.
The rotten smell of the zombies was formidable, but the stench generated by melting in the rot was beyond imagination.
“Oooh…”
It feels like something will come up inside her… It’s the same with Harin. Her complexion turns pale and she vomits.
“Brother! Here!!!”
At that time, Eunji was a little far away and harpooned both of War Boy’s ankles, knocking him down.
“Wait, wait…!”
He quickly ran to Eunji and melted War Boy’s hair again.
Chii Iik!!!!”
“Oops… Fuck… Oh, oppa… The smell… Ugh…”
Going crazy. What a damn side effect this good skill had…
“I-for now, keep knocking it down! Then I will kill you!”
“Yes yes!”
“All right!”
From then on, Eunji and Harin mercilessly harpooned the war boys’ knees and ankles and knocked them down to the roof floor.
All of these also have sprays, so if it wasn’t for this easy, I would have suffered quite a bit.
“Done!! Leave the five of them there for now! Because there is time to write separately!”
“Yes! Brother!”
“All right!”
This was almost all of the chews. Of course, it keeps creeping up in real time. First of all, we’ve reduced the ones who were cluttering the rooftop, so at least the slaves and non-awakened ones will have a little bit of a breather.
“Next is a zombie! Break all of your limbs so even those bastards can’t crawl!!!”
“Cheer up!!”
“OMG!!!”
Like female warriors, Eunji and Harin hit and broke the arm of the zombie centipede with fierce spirits.
Centipedes struggling wildly. Even so, they are idiots who lost their legs.
It dug in without hesitation and melted their heads.
It was said that mana stats exceeded 100 and mana flowed through his body, so his movements really became lighter and smoother.
“Oh, brother! Great!”
Listening to Eunji’s support, I erased the zombie centipedes one by one.
How long did he fight against the zombies on the rooftop?
Finally, this damn, horrible night is over.
The morning air is toxic cold. Also, the resistance of the zombies was even stronger as if they were making a final push. Still, we persevered. I overcame it in the end.
Soon the sun will rise Have you ever missed the morning sun like this in your life?
As the sun rises, the zombies who ran wild are also slowly getting tired.
“The sun rises!!! Fuck!!! The sun is rising!!!! Jinwoo!!! We live!!! You bastard!!! I live!!!”
Ha Jin-seong, who endured the night and survived until the end, let out a tearful roar.
Ever since his younger brother, Ha Jin-woo, collapsed with a sprained foot, Ha Jin-seong persisted until the sun came up, slaying approaching zombies frantically with an appearance that could be expressed as being too young to listen to.
Ha Jin-seong, who used to do that, now looks like his whole body is soaked in zombie blood and his eyes are half-closed. You look extremely tired.
“Hyung.. Uhhhhh… Fuck…”
Ha Jin-woo was also full of tears and enjoyed the joy.
It’s not time to cry yet. There are still zombies left.
“Brother! Not long now!”
“Yeah… Everyone worked hard.”
The normal zombies were left to the other slaves, and Eunji and Harin focused on the few remaining special zombies.
After fighting, it became clear. All of the special zombies are strong enough to be difficult to simply kill. Should I say that the bone density of the skull is different? He had the toughness of not dying just by swinging his Paroo.
Of course, even that was of no use in front of the thick green corruption liquid emitted by the skill ‘Unclean Touch’.
Those who touched the corruption melted away screaming without being able to resist. It doesn’t matter if it’s a war boy or a zombie centipede, it’s fair.
When Eunji and Harin broke War Boy’s leg, the strategy of melting the fallen guy’s head with unclean hands was very good.
“Here!!! Here comes the centipede!!!”
Hwang Soo-min hurriedly shouted at Lee Eun-hye, who was injured in her arm.
“Wait a minute! Oh my waist..”
My back feels like it’s going to come off after killing zombies all night long.
My back hurts more than when I was hanging out with Eunji and Harin.
“My brother shouldn’t go out of his back…”
“Master. I’ll take care of it. Get some rest.”
You worry about me right away because your back hurts… It’s touching…
Eunji and Harin are also good. She is energized just by looking at her.
Normally, my lower legs would twitch as well, but now, maybe because I’m too tired, my brain doesn’t respond.
“Are you okay. Brother will do it You guys don’t even have mana anymore. I am resting for a while.”
“But…”
“Yes…”
I want to stroke the hair of Eunji and Harin, who care about me, but I can’t because my hands are too dirty.
Leaving behind her regretful heart, she walked towards the handrail where Hwang Soo-min pointed her finger.
“Ha… Fuck… It’s really gross…”
I’ve already thought about it dozens of times while enduring this day, but there are too many real zombies. Even if you kill, even if you kill, where do you crawl out again? It’s like catching cockroaches.
No matter how many times you catch and kill it, it will reappear at some point.
The sun has risen and the rooftop is in the mood to be tidied up, but these damn bastards keep climbing up without even noticing.
‘But… The sun has risen, so it should feel better now…’
I see a fucking zombie centipede climbing the outer wall of the mart with a bunch of normal zombies attached to its back like it’s its own baby.
He is disgusting and irritating just by looking at him because he has a lot of arms and a messy appearance.
“I stayed up all night, now let’s get some rest… You bastards… I’m tired!”
With a wave of his hand, he melted the head of the guy who was climbing the wall and made him fall down along with the dangling zombies.
“Ooh!!!”
“Wow!!!”
The sight of zombies falling and screaming in stupid voices is now like some kind of inhuman zombie gag show and it’s funny.
After looking down at the dead zombies for a long time, someone approached.
“Brother, you worked hard.”
It was Hajin-seong, who had come to support her injured brother.
“Uh…You suffered too. He said he was protecting his younger brother.”
“No big deal.”
“Hey, Ha Jin-woo. Is your ankle okay?”
“Yes! It’s okay! A little rest will make you feel better!”
Ha Jin-woo shouted vigorously with terrified eyes, afraid that I might abandon him.
As I was staring at Ha Jin-woo, Ha Jin-seong, worried that her younger brother would be abandoned, quickly changed the story.
“Older brother. Now just kill those bastards and that’s it.”
He turned his head at Ha Jin-seong’s words.
There, I saw five war boys and Kim Jun-min and Kim Il-woo running away.
“OMG!!! Fuck!!! Older brother!!! How long do I have to run away!!!”
“OMG!!! Go away!!! You bastards!!!!”
Kim Min-jun and Kim Il-woo are running around with five war boys behind them.
“Hey! You guys run faster!!! Then I will catch you!!!”
I shaved my head It was an operation to kill ordinary zombies with war boys.
Zombie centipedes evolved to hunt humans in highlands, as they are specialized in climbing. Thanks to this, simple combat skills were not so outstanding.
In contrast, these crazy muscular zombies were monsters specialized in combat.
You can tell just by looking at the fact that the warrior Kim Il-woo flew without wearing a side in one punch.
They were strong and tough.
‘And ignorant.’
Fortunately, the War Boys were individualistic zombies with no sense of cooperation.
Realizing that the uncontrolled 3-meter tall, muscular zombies run amok, even the normal zombies around them are naturally caught up in death and killed. Ordered to avoid.
The attack that the two narrowly avoided was hit by other normal zombies instead.
Yes, the car is also murder. No, killing people who have already died is not murder.
Anyway, those two were faithfully luring the war boys at my command and clearing out the remaining zombies on the roof. Thanks to that, it seems that a few non-Awakened people survived.
“Hey, this! Uh, heh… Heh… How long will it run! This… Heck… No more…”
In the end, Kim Il-woo, who was out of breath, fell forward.
“Hey! Fuck!! What if I fall there!!!”
Like a loyal man, Kim Min-joon quickly turned around and tried to help the fallen Kim Il-woo.
“Al-Rakum-Ruey.”
Pooh!!!
A bundle of tentacles spewed out and cut all the war boys who were trying to tear Kim Min-joon and Kim Il-woo to pieces.
At the same time, the pieces of their flesh exploded and poured into the two of them.
“Ugh… Thoo! Wow! Shiva… I think it got in my mouth…”
“Wow…!”
Kim Min-joon frowned as he took the blood and flesh of the war boys who had exploded to death. I wiped his face and brushed the flesh off my hands.
Kim Il-woo is vomiting on the floor. Nastily…
“Brother! Thank you for your effort!”
“Master!”
Eunji and Harin ran to me. It’s really over now. Killed them all…
“Uuuuu!!!”
“Are there any left?!”
Then the last zombie left on the roof walked towards me. It must have been buried under a dead zombie centipede.
“Uuuuu!!!!!”
“Ugh… Is there no end…”
Kwajik!!!
Unconsciously used an unclean hand.
Then, the zombie’s head that she touched instantly turned into green slime and melted away.
At the same time, acrid smoke rose and a stench spread that made her want to lick her nose.
Unholy Touch is really the best skill for its effect alone. If it touched it, it would corrupt and melt everything, so no matter who it was, it could be defeated simply by touching her hand. Mana consumption is also quite cheap.
The only problem is that when you kill a zombie, it smells terribly.
The green slime secreted from the palm of the hand when using the skill also had a rather disgusting smell, and the smell generated when the slime and zombies came into contact with it was unbearable.
“Wow…”
It’s already the 29th time that only the empty stomach is rotten beyond imagination. No matter how much I take it, I can’t adapt. At this point, it could just be that his nose is paralyzed, but maybe it’s because his stats are high, there’s no sign of that, and he’s dying.
‘Damn it… I never thought there would be side effects like this…’
What’s even more fucked up is the fact that it’s not just me who’s suffering, Eunji and Harin are also suffering.
“Oops… Oh, brother… That’s…”
“Umm, no. Woo-wook…”
“Ah, over there. What is it. Sorry. I used it unconsciously…”
“Gwa, it’s okay… Master… Uuk…”
“No…”
Trying to throw up… Don’t try to pretend you’re okay…
“Eh, first of all… It’s good that I killed them all… Right?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Now you can slowly turn off the skill.”
All the zombies on the roof died, including the one they just killed.
I think I killed about 27 zombie centipedes for 30 warboys. In addition, there are many unknown special zombies mixed in. The three of us killed it really ruthlessly.
Thanks to that, I went up by 5 levels, and Eunji and Harin went up by 4 each. The Hassi duo and the rest of the slaves also climbed quite a bit.
‘Moreover, if you kill a special zombie, the item will drop…’
After staying up all night killing them, there were shiny objects falling between them.
It’s a fact that I realized during the battle, but when I kill a special zombie, it seems to drop a weapon or armor with a probability.
It must have been written in the notice earlier, but it was so urgent that there was no time to read each one.
“Everyone, pick up the items that fell on the floor!”
“Yes!”
The equipment that fell on the ground was all ‘items’ like the items sold by the peddler. The item has a description.
Such is the case with this dagger, for example.
[Ceremonial Dagger: Features a winding blade.]
It’s a thing that doesn’t have any special effect, but the appearance is quite bloody.
I’m going to write this.
“I have collected them all.”
“Are these five the end?”
“Yes. I couldn’t find any more.”
The dagger I picked up and two obscurely short swords. An ax and a helmet made of iron.
All of them were ordinary things with nothing unusual about them.
I took the dagger, gave the two short swords to Eunji, and Harin gave the ax and helmet.
“Okay…It’s over…”
It’s been about an hour since the sun rose. The rooftop of the mart has been in a lull for a while as if the zombie wave has now completely ended.
“All the surviving cubs, come towards this peddler!”
Among the non-Awakened, there were still a few survivors. I called them however…
“Keugh… I think I’ve been bitten over there…”
“What the fuck! You really got bitten!”
You’re like a goddamn conscienceless Horo bastard.
If bitten, it’s finely woven. Why are you coming here?
“Oh yeah.”
Now is the perfect time to use human sacrifice.
I’m going to die turning into a zombie anyway. Become my ‘up’.
“Skill selection!”
[Choose a skill]
[One. Human sacrifice]
[2. Manma’s Favor]
[3. Abyss Observation]
[4. Selfless Mystic Eye]
[Ten Ma’s Favor: Gain interest and favor with the beings of the other world. The terms of the contract are relaxed.]
‘Another strange skill… For now, choose human sacrifice!’
Sticky.
“Turn it off…!!!”
As expected, my body staggered from the great pain that seemed to crush my head. Naturally, saliva dripped from his mouth.
Then, Eunji and Harin immediately supported me. Leaning on their bodies, he chewed and swallowed the pain.
“Ha ha… Ha… Fuck…”
Information about human sacrifice comes in.
‘There is no mana consumption… It’s pure honey…’
The subject of human sacrifice was limited to ‘intelligent life’. Human sacrifice was impossible for non-intelligent beings such as zombies, and animals with low intelligence were of course also impossible.
‘But… This… Except for humans… What kind of bullshit is it that it can be used on other races…’
Could it be… Is it some kind of hint that alien races beyond zombies or something like that will crawl out?
My body staggers. The zombies alone are so overwhelming that they chews …
‘By the way… I need to do an act of dedicating, in other words, a performance… What is it..? Dedicate Do I have to kill him after saying that?’
It seem to be like that. It is said that you have to make a gesture or remark that you are definitely dedicated to God, such as making the sign of the cross while talking about the Father and the Son in church.
“Hey… It’s serious…”
I’ll make my own signature sign book later and send that bastard right before turning into a zombie to God.
“Ah! Oh, it hurts!!!”
“Yeah, fuck it, I’m turning into a zombie, and of course it hurts!”
Eunji and Harin rushed at him and crushed him without a moment’s notice.
“Dedicated!!!”
Then, he slammed the dagger right into the man’s head.
Fu-wook! Kwajik!
A non-awakened person who died soon after shedding warm blood and brains.
Was the human sacrifice successful?
Waited a while. However, nothing happens…
[Ah. So sweet.]
“Turn it off…!!!!!”
Something… Something entered my head…!
[Bring more.]
“Turn it off…!”
System messages came to mind one after another as I felt a great malice gnawing through my tiny brain.
[I encountered the evil god ‘Kashnax’!]
[Congratulations? You have become a servant of an evil spirit!]
[One step closer to the evil spirit!]
[You will be branded with ten thousand horses!]
[All players from the Sacred God faction feel some kind of disgust towards you!]
[Achievement achieved! ‘Encounters with the unknown’]
[Achievement achieved! ‘The Unforgiven’]
[Achievement achieved! ‘Servant of Karshinax’]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]
“Aaaaah!!!!!!”
Something was engraved on my forehead with a burning pain.
I felt the pain as if I was tearing my flesh with thin nails. Along with the pain, I felt completely fucked.
Fortunately, the pain didn’t last long. And thanks to Eunji and Harin who called me with worried voices from both sides, I was able to come to my senses a little bit.
[Stigma of Manma: Your spirit and body are now in the possession of the Evil God, Kashinax. As his servant, you can communicate seamlessly with Manma.]
[People with other stigmata will be hostile to you.]
“Rain, damn it…”
I never imagined this would happen… Am I too complacent? Have I… Been too careless…
What about those with other stigmata? It seems that there is another class that receives God’s attention like me… Another stigma… So, is this stigma of Manma also a stigma after all?
I don’t know. I am filled with anxiety at the thought that I have been very fucked up.
[Skill ‘Summon Tentacle’ is improved!]
[Tentacle Emission: The limit on the number of summons is removed. A pentagram is imprinted on the palm of your hand. Orders are shortened. Mana cost increases to 10!]
“Ah, it’s honey.”
It was a dog benefit. Also ‘God’. You don’t disappoint me… Now you don’t have to draw complicated pentagrams. The order is only for Le Rue. Even the number of summons is unlimited…
‘Okay, what are you worried about? Whether it’s a stigma or a nabal, I’ll just capture them all and make them slaves… Mr. Kashinax is a god, and I’m invincible.’
Think positively.
Anyway, because the sun has risen. ‘Cause I survived another day
