Damned 13th Regression – 145
by Jessie@AFNCC
Viro, the grass-leaf wolf, leapt powerfully up to the Doom Giant’s face.
[Acceleration skill ‘Prairie Wind (A+)’ activated!]
[Cutting skill ‘Sleep Tree Cut (S)’ activated!]
The elegant blade avoided the flames emitted by the Doom Giant and cut into the green eye.
Wow!
“Now cut off his ankles and knock him down! “It’s over!”
“OK!”
As the giant’s ax plunged into the Doom Giant’s heel the taut ankle tendons snapped and the demon fell backwards.
Biro who had barely passed the critical juncture wiped his sweat and became angry.
“Whoa whoa where is Joo Gong-hyeok! “What are you doing that you can’t see?”
“I saw it there earlier!”
The giant slashed his ax at the Doom Giant and pointed to one side.
There Joo Gong-hyeok and two other hunters were taking care of the fallen hunter.
“Thank you so much.”
“Well it’s no big deal.”
He stopped the blood gushing out of his stomach and placed blood-sucking flowers and flowers on top of it.
Blood vessels and muscle tissue were connected and the flesh covered the red cross section.
[Angel Quest: Helping someone else’s house. 8/10 achievement.]
When I cleared the message window that popped up I saw the Hunter entangled with Drake.
Keek!
“Aaaah! Bitten! “Go up!”
Hunter who was struggling because the left half of his body was bitten by Drake saw Joo Gong-hyeok slowly approaching him.
“Fuck you.”
Puzzle-
Joo Gong-hyeok’s hand blade tore through the skin of Drake’s neck as if cutting through butter.
Gurgling… Yuck.

When the esophagus was cut and the spine was severed blood foam flowed from Drake’s mouth.
As a finishing touch the head was lightly ripped off creating a grotesque horror-like appearance with Drake’s head attached to a human body.
“Are you okay?”
“yes? Yeah yeah! “The armor and durability were good so the teeth didn’t come in.”
[Angel Quest: Helping someone else’s house. 9/10 achievement.]
“Then work hard.”
Joo Gong-hyeok turned his back and waved his hand.
There were still many monsters and hunters in danger.
As time passed the first stage of the ordeal was completed and Joo Gong-hyeok was seen receiving his reward from the angel.
Roderick Diaw the hunter who was bitten by a drake thought.
‘That’s how you proceed with the angel quest so the reverse is also possible right?’
He was the representative of a group of demonic contractors.
Liliane spoke to the 50 survivors the same way as before.
“Congratulations on passing stage 1. Will I be lucky? Everyone survived. Let’s take the next step.”
The 50 groups divided into the audience were combined into 5 groups.
“Ten teams each came together to form five teams. Please select a stronger representative among the representatives. “Five is enough.”
The remaining representatives looked at each other and the five strongest hunters emerged as the last representatives.
[Step 2 of voting for the strong.]
– The five representatives enter a new trial.
– All 500 people vote for five candidates.
– The top 1st and 2nd place votes receive improved abilities.
– Those ranked 4th and 5th in voting receive weakened abilities.
– If the candidate you voted for dies all voters who voted for the candidate will die.
– However in the case of the 3rd place candidate even if the candidate dies the voters who voted for the 3rd place candidate do not die.
“what. Why is third place exempt like this?”
“Maybe it’s because it’s mid-tier.”
“Oops Liliane forgot.”
Liliane laughed and added a word to the end of the message window.
– The candidate who ranks third in the vote is killed instantly.
“Instant death?”
The hunters looked tired as if they knew that would happen and Liliane smiled brightly.
“yes. That’s right. “He dies instantly no questions asked.”
“Isn’t that pure luck?”
Liliane tilted her head.
“Is that really true? It could be luck or it could be strategy. “It depends on what you think.”
‘Could it be luck or strategy?’
People looked at the faces of the five representatives.

Joo Gong-hyeok of the newly emerging Savior Company.
The excellent swordsman the blade of grass wolf Biro.
Halloween survivor Roderick of Barding.
The Legion’s gatekeeper Breaker Klose.
Representative A-19 of Illivatus.
“Well if you’re voting is it Joo Gong-hyeok?”
I looked at my surroundings and cautiously opened the door.
The most famous of the five representatives was Joo Gong-hyeok.
There is no doubt about the power that not only defeated the Necromancer King but also subdued the transcendent level monster Desertio.
“Back in the time on Earth the number one hunter ranking according to the UN was Ymir and the number two was Christina.”
“Ymir was stuck in Russia and did not come out and Christina was the symbol of the world’s hunters…”
Joo Gong-hyeok was the new supernova that emerged in Babel replacing Christina who had been the focal point of the hunters since the Earth era.
If it’s for your own safety it’s right to vote for Joo Gong-hyeok and make him take first place so that he can never die.
However I was watching the other representative’s thoughts.
“But you can’t not vote for our representative right? “If we come in third place…”
“It’s not just about third place. Even if you fall to 4th or 5th place you could die due to weakened abilities.”
With a murmur the representatives flicked their calculators.
‘If all my kids vote for me would that be 70 votes? barely?’
‘How many votes will go to Joo Gong-hyuk? ‘It’s not good.’
‘How big is the power of the other representative here? ‘I’ll have to count it.’
At that moment the wall separating the testing room and the audience disappeared.
Heavenly Knight Langdharma motioned for me to go back.
“I will give you time to discuss before voting. “Please come back.”
There was a way back to the audience but the five representatives were not in a hurry and just walked heavily.
If you show impatience because your life is urgent you will lose the trust of your subordinates.
There was no hunter here who would entrust his fate to a weakling who clearly had no time to spare.
“You guys know right? “You are voting for me unconditionally.”
“sure.”
“Who would we vote for other than the captain?”
Klose a giant with an axe threatened his subordinates and they quickly nodded.
It was typically an action to attract votes.
Klose not only went to his own subordinates but also went to other groups of hunters to promote it.
“Listen carefully! I am Klose the gatekeeper of the unique city ‘Legion’! Of course you have the skills to pass a mission like this! And if you choose me I will reward you later after the mission!”
While the other hunters were nodding their heads pretending not to be able to resist Klose’s strong publicity Rain of Wolf Fortress calmly counted the number of hunters.
‘The number of people in Wolf Fortress is 54 and Illivatus seems to be the largest. How many are there? 150? 200?’
After checking the number of each faction Biro realized.
“This is wrong.”
Joo Gong-hyuk was smoking a cigarette in the corner of the audience.
There were a lot of people around me who came up to flatter me.
“I will definitely vote for Joo Gong-hyuk!”
“Aren’t the other representatives just bridesmaids? Even with Joo Gong-hyuk this mission is a piece of cake.”
Joo Gong-hyeok was observing the desperate-looking Biro without even paying a glance to the noisy hunters.
“We both went through a lot of hardships.”
“Sure sure. “How big is the gap between Joo Gong-hyuk and other representatives…”
Joo Gong-hyeok’s self-talk was soon drowned out by flattery.
After two hours Langdharma roared loudly.
“It’s time to vote! “Representatives come to the testing ground!”
Klose’s eyes widened until the end and after saying a few words to his subordinates he came down to the trial in silence.
When the five representatives stood side by side Liliane took out the microphone.
“ruler! This is the long-awaited voting site! Before voting shall we hear each representative’s aspirations? First Mr. Klose of the Legion!”
Klose stood awkwardly in front of the microphone.
“If you elect me I am confident that I will never die. I’m the one who caught the Doom Giant earlier… So I am very strong. Oh and if you pick it up you’ll get coins later…”
“Okay I’ll take the next person.”
Liliane casually interrupted and turned the microphone.
“Yes Mr. Kim Jeong-seok from Ilibatus. “I want to hear your bold aspirations!”
Despite Lilianne’s high tension he remained expressionless.
“It’s ‘A-19’ rather than Kim Jong-seok.”
“Oh I guess you can’t use your name now? Come to think of it there was a tragedy a year ago when Mr. Animus the owner of Illivatus died. How is the city doing recently?”
“…Nothing happened. “We just follow the will of the Animus.”
“Your solemn determination to follow the wishes of your deceased person. I heard it well. Now let’s start interviewing the most important person!”
Liliane smiled brightly at the audience and turned the microphone.
“This is Joo Gong-hyeok the main character who came to Babel in the 7th Great Summoning late but is now considered one of the strongest humans! “Please speak into the microphone!”
Lilianne gave Joo Gong-hyeok a lot of attention and looked at him with interest.
Gonghyuk grabbed her hand holding the microphone.
“Wait a minute if you do this in a place like this…”
“huh.”
Gonghyuk grabbed her hand and clenched his fist underneath her.
Pow!
“Geheuk!”
