Damned 13th Regression – 24



Episode 24 – Evacuation to the 5th floor

Gonghyeok and Soma entered the village.

Gonghyeok took out two chairs from the confessional which was the least damaged church.

“Sit down don’t stand.”

“it’s okay. “Rather I’d like to hear about the question.”

Gonghyeok sat down on a chair and took off the hellhound mask. If you don’t say it with your face psychological trust decreases. I just want to smoke a cigarette.

“Before that should I ask you something too? Soma What is the right path?”

“······.”

“It’s hard to answer isn’t it? It’s worth it. “You killed quite a few people too.”

Soma confirmed in silence. Tibet’s armed independence struggle which began after Babel’s invasion was thoroughly crushed by China with a stronger military response to prevent public order chaos following the monster disaster.

The Dalai Lama who advocates non-violent peace visited the Tibet Autonomous Region to prevent such incidents but assassination attempts were made by both China and Tibetan hardliners.

And Soma stained both his hands with blood to fully protect the Dalai Lama and his will. Caught up in the whirlwind of struggle he erased his Buddhist precepts and became Tibet’s armed hunter ‘Dhritarashtra Soma Sangay’.

“The path of justice that saves all people is proud of all people and defeats all evil.”

Gonghyuk giggled and laughed. Before I knew it I was holding a pipe in one hand.

“If that’s the right way I can’t do that. Because…”

Smoke disperses in vain.

“Because I’m going to kill more people in the future.”

Suddenly Soma’s fist clenched in an unusual way.

“I was greatly impressed by your strength your wit and your wisdom. “But I don’t know if one of us will have to die here today.”

“Soma. I don’t know how much you expected from me. I am not the one to save people.

A person who will kill people kill demons kill the devil king and bring down Babel. “There is someone else who can save people.”

“If you are someone who saves people…”

“I wasn’t the one who saved you from this hell. “Hayeonsi was with me.”

Soma lowered his head with an unknown expression.

“Yeonsi is kind. A child who will disappear forever in a place like this. The human values ​​that she wants to protect are too big of a picture so the idiots who are second to none at Babel can’t understand it. “Everyone just curses me and calls me an idiot.”

“In a place like this Yeonsi’s kind heart can easily be distorted…”

“You don’t understand man.

Among the 200 hunters on the first floor who fought to ‘clear Babel’? Me and Yeonsi. “There are only two people.”

Gonghyuk’s finger pointed towards Soma.

“You were no different from the remaining 198 hunters. I wanted to save people but I was too busy following the situation and flow in front of me. Mr. Soma while you were with us have you ever thought about killing the Demon King on the 88th floor of Babel?”

“hmm···.”

“There’s no way I can do that. It’s impossible for the average person. People are exploding in front of your eyes you have to kill monsters to get rewards achievements and quests are dropped you are told to kill each other and you have to protect your own life. It’s a series of extreme situations right? “It’s far-fetched to think about the 88th floor.”

Soma remembered. The words that Yeonsi promised even after her entire body was bitten by a wild beast.

“But Yeonsi said it clearly. “I will destroy the demon king on the 88th floor with my own hands.”

“I kill people and protect Yanshi and this world. “I will continue to believe in the values ​​that I believe are important during the holidays.”

“you are···.”

Soma who had been silent opened his mouth.

“You will go to hell.”

“Okay okay.”

“And we will meet again in the bottom of hell.”

Soma looks at the open ceiling. In the middle of the dark sky there was a door leading to the next floor.

“I will become a Yaksha. “We will become the cornerstone of a world where kind people can be kind and say that the right thing is the right thing to do.”

In the history of Geumgang it is said that Miljeok Geumgang is the head of the yakshas and protects Buddhism. For this reason Geumgang Station was also called Geumgang Yacha.

“Gonghyuk. The moment you lose your purpose and become a devil I will stop you. If you do not lose your will I will become a bleeding shield for you.”

“Welcome. friend.”

Soma and Gonghyuk held hands. The will coming from my hands was as hard as marble.

“I’m going back to the Northern Waterfall Dungeon. “Goodbye then…”

“for a moment.”

The smoke trapped in Gonghyeok’s mouth spread into the air.

“The 90 people there could turn into something somewhat unimaginable.”

“An unimaginable sight? What do you mean by…”

“It’s a bit complicated to tell you… “They will skip to the fourth floor and go up to the fifth floor at once.”

“What the hell are you talking about…?”

“I’m just telling them to do well. “Don’t be too surprised.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Soma nodded and left.

Gonghyeok stayed there and burned the candle for an hour caressing Fife-Yvonne.

to be honest.

He talked excitedly about what the right values ​​were for saving people but that didn’t matter to Gonghyeok.

Both Yeonsi and Soma are merely means to save humanity.

In the thick smoke Gonghyuk prayed once again for the wish he had wished for countless times.

please.

Don’t make me regress.

Just let me die forever.

===

Four days later the lower rankers returned to the village.

“I think 1/3 of the village is gone.”

“At that time the light was so bright that it could be seen even from the Northern Falls. “Did X over there do that too?”

“It’s not the space monster you see on TV… “The village was completely destroyed as if it had been bombed.”

Hunters updated their rankings to Azazel. For some reason embarrassment flashed across Azazel’s face.

“Hey brother. “If the village is like this how many high-ranking people have died?”

“Uh about 30 people.”

“30 people? Well then let’s see. uh? hmm? Hmm?”

Yeon-si seemed to realize something and shouted at Gong-hyeok.

“Wait a minute! “Now including my brother and I there are only 22 top people left and if all the remaining hunters accumulate the same score…”

“Aaaah!?”

“What is this!?”

23rd place: ‘Baoah Sheen’ ‘Qassim bin Assam’ and others tied for 89.

“Nonsense! “Even if this can change the score!”

As long as even low-level hunters gather together collective intelligence develops.

Considering that the number of people in the previous ranking might not be suitable we signed a contract so that about 20 people could be changed to 49th place…

The number in front was 26.

In other words even if they die and wake up they cannot be tied for 50th place and they cannot keep their pledge to accumulate scores only up to tied 50th place. The cost of breach of contract is…

“Aaaah my abilities!”

“X you son of a bitch!”

All 91 people’s abilities became 1.

There was also a moment of screaming and cursing. They sat on the floor and looked at each other blankly their intelligence now at that of a newborn.

“Oh oh oh brother what on earth is happening now!”

“Shh be quiet.”

[All abilities of 90 people including ‘Qassim bin Assam’ have changed to 1]

[For some reason it is judged impossible for them to continue the battle in Babel]

[Anyone incapable of combat whose sum of ability points falls below 10 before the application of Article 7 Paragraph 9 of the Angel Code will be evacuated to the rear for humanitarian reasons]

The bodies of 91 hunters are surrounded by light.

Between angels and devils there were many rules surrounding Babel.

For example just as the devil has a rule that allows him to summon 201 people on the first floor and kill one of them as an example the angel also has a few humane rules.

Article 7 Paragraph 9 of the Angel Code refers to the ‘rear’ where those unable to fight are evacuated…

It meant the 5th floor the largest base for conquering Babel with 700000 people and 15 unique cities.

“Mr. Azazel wasn’t this really something you told me?”

Liliane suddenly appeared and glared at Azazel.

“That’s not possible. I had no idea that this rule would be used here in the first place.”

Gonghyuk smoked a pipe.

‘Once upon a time I was shocked to see that ‘Edgar of the Silver Arms’ was cursed.’

Edgar who was cursed by the evil god on the 51st floor of Babel had all of his abilities changed to 1. Everyone in the party was giggling as they watched Edgar crying like a baby but they couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when he returned to the 5th floor engulfed in light.

“Oppa is it okay for those people to go to the 5th floor like that?”

“then. Rather you will be welcomed.”

22 avatars from the casting industry such as blacksmiths 18 avatars from the architecture and art world and 34 avatars from the academic world such as machine control and mathematics.

The reason the lower rankers are lower rankers is because most of them were non-combat avatars.

Their value soars in unique cities on the 5th floor. Since the unique city is a direct replica of a modern human city it requires various managers for various production activities but the non-combat avatars who will be in charge of these tasks are all dying before they reach the 5th floor causing a huge shortage.

If it is confirmed that they have an architectural management avatar no matter how much purple coins they pour in they will be used to maintain the city.

“You’ll thank me so much later. “Thank you for taking me there safely.”

It was a contract with nothing to lose. I didn’t send them to the 5th floor alive in this cumbersome way simply to keep my word.

Once Gonghyeok ascended to the 5th floor he had to use them to create a machine industry using the ‘Gishinjok’ as materials.

Gonghyuk shouted as he looked at Azazel’s shocked face.

“Azazel! “Give me the Holy Spirit Summoning Book!”

Last day of the 3rd week on the 1st floor.

Finally the ‘first half of the Holy Spirit Summoning Book’ was given to Gonghyeok’s hands.
