Damned 13th Regression – 26



Episode 26 – Angel’s Tears

“Mr. “I don’t know if you remember but my name is Maria from the first floor.”

Gonghyuk remembered it clearly. A survivor of the first floor and a woman who died before reaching the fifth floor at any time.

Maria approached him with five companions.

“If it’s okay with you why don’t you form a team with us? “It’s not enough but we conquered three dungeons on the first floor…”

Kwasik

The black ax spear split the floor.

The ‘cloud sandals’ worn by Maria. The beautiful toes exposed by the stylish sandals rolled around like caterpillars.

“ah? Ah—ah!”

“Maria!? “Everyone pull back quickly!”

“My feet! “Go to my feet!”

“sorry! “We don’t even know the topic so we’ll just leave!”

The colleagues covered Maria’s screaming mouth and hurriedly disappeared.

The chaotic surrounding atmosphere suddenly becomes cold.

Hunter who had smoothly climbed up to the second floor with a smile was not here.

However the sight of the red-shadowed killer splitting the woman’s toes in a question-and-answer dance was a sight that would make anyone go crazy.

‘I’m sorry Maria. ‘I can’t explain it in words so I have no choice but to explain it with gestures.’

From Gonghyeok’s perspective he had no choice but to talk as little as possible until he obtained a voice modulation item.

Of course that didn’t mean his amazing communication method of solving problems that could have been done with a few head shakes by swinging an ax was not correct.

I felt Soma’s gaze from afar.

The gaze speaks. ‘Am I going?’

When Gonghyuk waved his hand a few times Soma lowered his head and turned around.

A wall of silence arose between X and the hunters and the search for a party began.

“Isn’t that person too dangerous? “It’s dark red.”

“But a guy who has killed a lot of people will be good at fighting.”

“Can you show me your avatar? “Me and this guy are D-class…”

“Could you please let me know your abilities?”

Various information such as shadow abilities and avatars are exchanged and teams are matched one by one according to each other’s tendencies.

In some teams the weak received the angel’s reward but hunters with keen senses laughed at it.

‘100 purple coins? 200? Of course it’s great. However it is unacceptable to risk your life for just a few coins.’

‘What if the team loses after being defeated by the underdog? I have to fight one more time in the repechage match but it’s just terrible.’

These were hasty decisions without considering the future.

By the time I suddenly realized the atmosphere around me and weighed the pros and cons it was too late.

In an instant an atmosphere of aversion to the weak was formed among the hunters.

Gonghyeok had already left the group and was far away.

The sound of wings flapping was heard next to him as he sat.

“Hey Hunter?”

A much more polite attitude compared to Azazel’s hesitant attitude. It was Nariel the dispatched angel.

Gonghyeok looked up at Nariel in silence.

Nariel made a slight gesture and a golden ring appeared above Gonghyeok’s head.

“Wow~? He is indeed the one who received the Holy Spirit Summoning Book! And to top it all off the first rank has already been filled this much. “As expected you are someone recognized by senior Azazel!”

“······.”

“It’s okay if you’re worried about your words getting out or someone seeing you. “The soundproofing power and the gaze diversion power have been applied.”

“What did you come here for?”

In fact Gonghyuk was a little dumbfounded. I knew there was an angel named Nariel.

However she was a reserve angel who did not occupy any floor. So it was my first time doing a mission with her.

“Hey that’s it. “That Gonghyuk?”

Nariel wiggled her fingers and opened her mouth.

“Gonghyuk can you please save some of the weak people?”

“You now…”

Gonghyuk narrowed his eyes in bewilderment.

The content itself wasn’t strange. Angels are half-humane people who don’t want people to die so they probably think this much in their hearts.

But the problem is…

Now Nariel was clearly ‘inducing human behavior’.

To save people.

‘What a fool…’

It was a violation of the rules that would draw protests from the devil.

He seemed quite smart as he was able to incite people right from the mission statement but I never thought he would be this smart.

‘no way···.’

Gonghyuk glanced at the demon Mastema.

Instead of watching what Nariel was doing he summoned the TV from somewhere and ate potato chips as a snack.

“There’s a devil right now. Is it okay for him to come openly?”

“Oh that one? are you okay. are you okay.”

Nariel glanced towards Mastema and smiled broadly.

“Senior Mastema… No Mr. Mastema is a fallen angel and I am close to him! These days you are with me… Oops. Hehe anyway you’ll turn a blind eye!”

‘Is it a connection… I’m just running at the end of the block.’

Gonghyuk’s bone hurt for a moment but he came to his senses.

As long as there are no problems and compensation is provided steadily it would not be a bad direction for Gonghyeok.

“So then what should I do?”

“yes! Then please become a team with the nine weakest people here!”

Gonghyuk was really surprised right now.

This is because Gonghyuk guessed exactly what he was going to do in the future.

“I think I didn’t hear you right. Say it again.”

“So out of the 1000 people over there please be on the same team as the 9 weakest people!”

Gonghyeok was certain at this point.

‘You don’t know the detailed rules of the second floor.’

Azazel is a pinch hitter for a bitch like this… Gonghyuk quietly looked at the sky and remembered an old thought.

‘Humans suffer like this because angels are so disheveled.’

Gonghyuk pretended to think for a moment. In fact it was easy to act because he was very nervous.

“I will accept it. Instead compensation is paid in advance.”

“Wow! Please wait a moment. “It’s worth giving as compensation…”

“There is no set reward right? Then give me ‘Angel’s Tears.’”

“Angel’s tears? No that’s a bit…”

Nariel expressed his disapproval.

Angel’s Tears were a few levels higher than the Holy Beast’s Tears or Pope’s Blessings.

If I had to grade the item it would be worth about SS.

“It’s okay even if it’s limited to the second floor. The activation limit is 4 seconds not 3 seconds. Just give me two drops of that.”

“Umm… limited to the 2nd floor…”

Nariel’s eyes lit up after 30 seconds of contemplation.

“great! If it’s only on the second floor there won’t be a problem. “It’s a quest!”

[This is a quest from the angel Nariel. ‘Love and care for the lowest.’]

[Form a team with the 9 most outcasts on the second floor]

“Wait a moment!”

Nariel turned around and yawned.

As if that wasn’t enough he suddenly looked like he was crying or thinking about something sad.

“Here are two angel tears…”

After a while I handed over the two transparent jewels to Gonghyeok.

For some reason my voice was muffled but I didn’t really want to know why.

While the two were finishing their conversation the movement of the hunter group also decreased.

It seemed like the team decision had now been made.

“Fighting!”

“······.”

Gonghyuk returned to the group of hunters without saying a word.

99 teams with 990 people were created.

The strong fight against each other to win more overwhelmingly.

Those who are weaker than him are at their level.

There were hunters aiming for more wins or guardian rewards but there were not many who gambled with their lives without knowing how strong their opponents were and without a proper winning strategy.

And the 9 people that everyone ignored until the very end.

A man with an unhealed severed arm a limping insignificant F-class avatar hunter a man with a pale face poisoned by poison a man who mutters like a psychopath and people who do not appear to be of sound mind.

They were the last stragglers who were abandoned.

Gonghyeok approached them who were crowded together as if they were being pushed out by other people.

Several people retreated as the killer wearing a vicious mask and carrying an ax spear approached.

Gonghyeok approached the intellectually disabled man who was crying not knowing that he was scared of the killer.

“Huh! Where are you? “Find my brother!”

Gonghyuk’s fingers tapped his head.

[I received a team offer. Do you want to accept it?]

As people who did not avoid him applied for the team even injured players who were somewhat wary quietly received offers.

There were hunters who had such problems that they couldn’t even decide whether to accept or decline but it didn’t matter.

Anyway when the team decision time passes I end up on a team with Gonghyuk who was the last to suggest.

“Thank you for adding me to the Mask team.”

“Thank you for your concern. If my arms were still intact I would have knocked down a few guys… “My arm is actually…”

The one-armed hunter begins to open up about losing his arm.

A child about the same age as my daughter fell into a trap and wasted time fighting monsters…

That didn’t really matter.

Yuta Sato who is loudly crying for his brother said that his brother fell to another place on the second floor and became alone.

It is said that ‘Siahei Karrennilka’ who was addicted to poison had all his equipment taken away due to the poison secretly added by his colleagues while he was comfortably eating his morning soup.

In fact the fact that the one-armed hunter had his arm cut off while trying to rape a child about the same age as his daughter had nothing to do with it.

[All 100 teams have been created]

[Among team members the person with the highest total ability score becomes the ‘captain’]

[The ‘captain’ is placed last and can decide the order of the team members’ matches.]

Because we’re all going to die here anyway.

100 lights came down. The golden letter ‘Captain’ appears above the heads of 100 people.

The name ‘Captain’ also appeared above Gonghyeok’s head.

“Oh wait a minute. Mastema where was something like this!?”

“Not the big rule but the small rule Article 4 Paragraph 2. This is a rule that there is no obligation to announce. Like the time to enter and exit the village on the first floor.”

“then···. Those people…”

The corners of Nariel’s eyes were watery.

Mastema sighed at Nariel’s crying.

“If that man is smart. Even if you are the head of the family there is a way to save all nine people.

That is clearly related to the core of the second floor. “Let’s see how it goes.”

Nariel and Mastema’s eyes focused on one group.

＊ ＊ ＊

“Cluck cluck cluck. “We were destined to die no matter what.”

Shiahei’s poisoned eyes turned sharp.

“what! If this happens everyone will die! “Let’s change the leader!”

The one-armed hunter ran wild.

It wasn’t just a loss of reason; it was subtle incitement.

How much approval would there be if we tried to change the leader?

Gonghyuk looked around.

The group of stragglers was on the outskirts of the group of hunters.

Moreover the surrounding hunters were in the midst of arguing over the leader who had just been appointed.

“Are you dissatisfied?”

An eerie voice resembling metal scraping was heard and along with it a golden light erupted behind him.

The one who appeared in the light of day was an Egyptian god with a muscular upper body and the head of a blue bird. The presence of the avatar was by far overwhelming even among the hunters who took out the avatar to threaten each other.

“I think that’s at least A+ or S grade.”

“If we get stuck I have to avoid that guy.”

Hunters’ attention was drawn to the brilliance of SS-class avatar La Jehuti.

The one-armed hunter who was intimidated by the sight of the avatar swallowed his saliva and looked away.

“No I mean…”

“I know what you expected of me.”

After a bit of whipping it’s time for carrots.

“I will kill 10 people. “You should abstain.”

Everyone in the group abstained except for him and the eyes of his companions lit up when they saw that there was a way to survive.

“I! “I’ll be last!”

“Don’t talk nonsense one-armed man. Mine joined the team first! “My word comes first!”

“It might actually be better to be at the front…”

“You decide the order yourself. “If you talk to me before the match I’ll let you pour coins out of my stomach.”

Seeing them fighting among themselves Gonghyuk spoke less and turned around.

I walked a little further and saw Nariel floating in the sky.

Nariel’s face looked faintly relieved and Mastema looked a little more interesting next to her.

Gonghyuk quietly moved his lips behind the mask.

‘Nariel. Don’t waste your time just look this way.’

Nariel’s eyes turned to Gonghyeok who was standing alone.

‘I’ll do as much as I’ve been given. Set me up for the first fight.’

– The first fight?

Nariel’s voice reached my ears.

‘okay. It’s an additional quest. Write it down.’

Nariel’s complexion turned white at the details of the additional quest that Gonghyeok insisted on.

Mastema who was watching from the side had a smile on his face.

“He’s an interesting human being isn’t he? Nariel. “I’d need a causality calculator to find out what he said.”

“Ha but will something like this really save people?”

“I guess it depends on what a terrible human being he is. I was surprised by Azazel’s insight. “You can’t believe you gave a person like that a scroll of summoning the Holy Spirit.”

[Additional quest ‘Example’ has been created]

[Depending on the achievement rate the angel Nariel promises additional rewards. Demon Mastema prepares a ‘Causality Calculator’ for clear calculation of rewards]

Rumbling

As soon as you receive the quest things progress quickly. The land measuring about 300 pyeong sank down 15 meters.

It was a duel arena.

[The first confrontation begins]

[Blue and Red teams please come down to the duel arena]

A blue light appeared above Gonghyuk’s head. It meant blue team.
