Damned 13th Regression – 28



Episode 28 – Bravo. bravo. bravo.

“Let me deal with it.”

One of the enemy team’s killers stood in front of Gonghyeok.

An exotic catarrh was shining on his hooded arm.

“My name is…”

Quad deuk

“huh. Edgar Ballack.”

Without warning the killer’s jaw was split open.

Gonghyeok’s fist with its steel knuckles was lodged in Ballak’s lower jaw.

Beep!

Valak’s avatar ‘Simurg the Great Bird’ flew in letting out a tearing cry.

He slightly dodges the giant bird’s beak trying to peck his head and naturally wraps his arms around the Simurgh’s neck.

He applied a strong headlock and at the same time punched the Simurgh’s face with all his might.

puck! Quack! Pop!

Sigh!

The sturdy beak was broken.

It was unclear where the eagle-like majestic face had gone and what kind of animal it was now.

“Hyaiyama!”

Edgar Ballack (33 years old) who was unable to pronounce words for the rest of his life wielded a cataract.

Gonghyeok stretched out his hand which was in the middle of crushing the bird’s head.

One-handed blade grasping

[This is amazing technology! Skill increases by 1!]

[Due to excessive physical exertion strength decreased by 5 points for 3 hours…]

“Geeh?”

Ballac couldn’t believe his eyes. Even if a child swung a kitchen knife it was crazy to hold the blade accurately. Additionally his agility is 239[D] and his strength is 181[E].

Even if a hunter had all of his abilities ranked C if he played with his hands carelessly he would likely have all his fingers cut off.

Nevertheless the sharp catarrh was caught exactly between Gonghyeok’s thumb and steel knuckles.

“Why are you surprised? “Ssya.”

Flutter! Suddenly

A hard left hook exploded sharply into the jaw of a dazed Ballack.

Ballach’s mind was completely blown away along with the white teeth scattered on the floor.

“The second time they smashed the entire body into small pieces and peeled off the skin starting from the neck right?”

Gonghyeok was troubled as he saw Ballak lying down and coughing up blood.

‘The blunt weapons were broken or thrown away.’

The gaze turned to two fists with steel knuckles.

“There is a saying that if you don’t have teeth you will chew on them with your gums…”

Kwasik─ Kwasik─

[The enemy team’s second opponent Edgar Ballach dies]

[Obtain 299 purple coins and acquire ‘Unnori’s Qatar’]

“If you go you bastard.” “Killing quite a few people…”

s

Sorry

“It’s easier to kill the third one by cutting him into pieces.”

“Ah! Ah! Ah—Ack!”

“It’s hard to cut 10 times as much while saving your life but I’ll try my best.”

[The enemy team’s third opponent Zhang Fengjie dies]

[Obtain ‘Reinforced Gaiters’ by obtaining 385 purple coins]

“Wait a minute something’s wrong with you…”

“Yeah okay.”

Crunchy

[Enemy team’s fourth opponent…]

“The great man above…”

“huh. asleep.”

Kwasik!

[Enemy team…]

···.

······.

“Haha there you are friend. “We were wrong.”

The ninth killer stood on the battlefield. His bare shaved head shone with cold sweat.

“Come on I won’t fight. “I’ll just kill my friend.”

He slowly backed away putting the huge saw in his hand on the floor.

“Yeah so. Just kill me. please.”

17 poles surround the duel arena.

The pure white square floor was already soaked with blood from 17 corpses.

“huh. okay. “Come here.”

Gonghyuk motioned for the bald killer to come closer.

However the obsidian sword held in one hand was lowering Gonghyeok’s reliability to the level of a devil.

“Friend I will also give you my avatar. Take it take it.”

“There is no need for that kind of junk food. “My child can even go to S-class.”

“haha. “He’s also a picky eater.”

Even the bald killer knew.

The monster in front of me is not something I can communicate with.

Gonghyuk approached holding an obsidian sword.

“Then just keep standing there. “I’ll go.”

“Friend calm down for a moment.”

The bald killer’s eyes subtly turned to Gonghyuk’s feet.

There is one reason why the bald killer wasted time by saying something awkward.

He waited for Gonghyuk to step on the ‘shadow’ of the pole.

“Look around you bastard!”

After confirming that he had stepped on the shadow the man did his best to summon the shadow avatar ‘Geusondae (B-)’.

The shadows of the pole and the corpse continued creating a net of shadows across the battlefield.

At the same time the bald killer’s conversion move…

There was light in the duel arena.

“Ignite.”

[Explosion magic Ignite (E) activated]

[The angelic order of MALKHUT the first rank of Sephiroth adds strength to the flame. The skill rank increases due to the holy flame]

[When Ignite is activated with Sephiroth open the rank increases to (C-).]

Quang!

Flames transfer to the intangible shadow.

The burning shadows twisted their entire bodies like living insects.

“Kwaaaak!”

The bald man’s hands turned into charcoal and fell off.

It was natural since it exploded right under him.

Gonghyeok yawned as he watched him run wild while engulfed in flames.

“Ninth.”

The obsidian sword which had tasted blood to its fullest today glowed magically.

[The enemy team’s ninth opponent… dies]

The last captain of the enemy team has arrived.

The enemy team was comprised of killers with average abilities in the 200s.

As he achieved ‘Captain’ his abilities were in the late 200s.

Some abilities even reached level 300 C. Avatar is also an incomparable A-class.

However the enemy team’s leader clearly realized this through the sacrifice of the other nine people.

‘If you’re an avatar despite your abilities you’ll die if you stick with that bastard.’

Gonghyeok’s abilities had also increased to a ridiculous degree due to his 9 victories and 9 blessings as well as the captain’s abilities.

“You are the last.”

Gonghyuk said as he sheathed the obsidian sword.

“Actually the guy who installed this obsidian killed up to 9 members of our team. So you can kill me in any way…”

“Hehehe hehehehe!”

The last remaining killer laughed maniacally and raised a short sword.

It was clearly a Class A weapon the Red Mist Magic Sword.

Puuk

He started stabbing himself with the magic sword.

“Hehehehehehehe!”

Self-injurious behavior accompanied by photophobia.

Gonghyuk picked his nose.

‘It’s like that again.’

From the outside it looked like he was summoning a demon by sacrificing his blood or giving up his life to gain tremendous power.

In fact I knew it was just a completely meaningless trick.

Clap. Clap.

Both of the man’s wrists fell off along with the flesh of his thighs.

The man kicked his wrist along with the magic sword lying on the ground.

“Hehehehehehe”

Although he seemed completely insane the killer’s mind was cool.

‘This is the third time I’ve kicked it.’

He was counting the number of times his severed wrist touched the floor.

The moment the kicked wrist fell to the floor was visible to his eyes as if in slow motion.

The captain said a word mixed with light so as not to raise suspicion.

“Hehehehahahahahaha…”

Before I could say all the words I wanted a sharp caltrop stuck in my wide open mouth.

A sharp lump of iron needle also called Cheoljilyeo.

Gonghyeok stuffed caltrops into the killer captain’s mouth.

“Hulk slurp!”

No matter how much I mumbled surrender surrender there was only iron spit and blood in my mouth.

“Shall I tell you what I heard from you before?”

Gonghyeok calmly brought his face right in front of the killer leader.

The blood that poured out from the captain’s mouth added red marks to the pitch black mask of the vicious dog.

“’Seven of the Ten Commandments of Murder. ‘Knock them all to death and laugh.’”

“Oh my gosh…”

“But why are you smiling now?”

There is nothing we can do. It can’t be avoided.

Pure tears flowed from the captain’s eyes as he faced his fate.

[All members of the red team are dead]

[Your demonic actions have become an unforgettable and terrible experience for all the hunters on the second floor]

[A new disadvantage creates ‘Notoriety Behind the Mask (-E)’]

Rumbling

From the duel arena a staircase leads up to where the hunters are.

In a pit of blood with 19 poles and 19 pieces of meat hanging only Gonghyeok climbed the stairs.

Gonghyeok’s every action had intention.

Insanely high achievement rates and rewards.

It was possible because we formed a team with the 9 weakest members.

In order for Gonghyuk to kill 10 people by himself none of his teammates must kill the enemy team.

The reason I applauded the man in a leopard mask holding an obsidian sword and fighting the most vicious and ferocious opponent was also simple.

If the leopard mask guy steps down he won’t be able to kill all 10 people and his achievement rate will drop significantly.

All 10 enemies are alive and well. The enemy’s first vanguard must kill all 9 members of our team. The crueler it is the better.

It was an intentional selection of colleagues to meet the difficult conditions.

“This isn’t right this isn’t right.”

“Uweeee! “Cluck cluck cluck.”

20 hunters participating in the first match.

Among them only one hunter came back alive.

The remaining 19 were groomed over several hours.

It was highly decorated as a murderer’s entertainment and work of art.

“I don’t want to fight. “I don’t want to fight like this!”

Hunters are always close to death.

They were also people who felt the fear of death more sensitively than anyone else and always insisted on taking a safe direction.

Things worse than death happened before their eyes.

In a little while they themselves would have to jump into that terrible chaos.

Their faces overlapped those of the horrific corpses hanging on poles with their intestines wrapped around their necks.

“Now that we’ve seen the exhibition game let’s pick up the tempo quickly. From now on matches will be played between 10 teams.”

The devil continued his progress calmly.

When he points his finger the floor collapses and nine more duels are created.

“Unlike the first floor the winners of this floor will be completely cured ‘as long as they stay alive.’ Please heal the only winner of the match Angel Nariel.”

“···.”

“Oh my. The angel Nariel seems to be saying that there is no need for treatment since there are no injuries. “Isn’t that right?”

“······.”

Nariel was silent without showing his face.

“Huh.”

“I’m not dying. I won’t die. “I won’t die…”

Crying psychotic muttering stiff silence.

Reactions varied but one thing was certain.

The slaughter just moments ago had driven everyone into a corner.

Gonghyuk ignored all the hunters and sat down in the corner.

The hunters fell away from him with faces filled with fear.

Blood was dripping from the molars of the vicious dog carved into the mask and the hood was extremely dirty with fresh blood and unspeakable debris.

Gonghyeok’s hood was completely dark red but the original gray outer material that remained sparsely stood out creating a feeling of fear.

“Whoa~”

Gonghyuk sighed and lay back.

The damn dark sky came into view.

Drops of blood on the mask flowed through the cracks and wetted my dry lips.

When you have fun cutting substances like adrenaline and endorphins are secreted in your body making you feel good. However after the brief drug use in the brain further emptiness came.

As the excitement subsides I feel muscle pain and bloody wetness all over my body.

‘Should I stop him with Malkuth?’

Gonghyeok who was thinking about using a holy flame to dry his clothes soon gave up.

Being wet is physiologically unpleasant.

However after killing someone in one go and sitting there covered in intestines and blood my heart strangely calmed down.

It’s like looking out the window blankly on a rainy day.

I lay down like that and looked blankly at the sky.

It was as limp as wet laundry and was truly defenseless but no one dared to approach it.

Gonghyeok became someone who was afraid to harbor either malicious or good intentions and became isolated from the hunters.

“ah. “It’s all annoying.”

I don’t know about slaughter but fighting is fun.

Swinging a knife and cutting a chunk of flesh blood spurting out and the tearing scream become a strong stimulus and are stuck in the mind.

It was also thrilling when my own flesh was torn apart and I felt a burning sensation or my bones turned to dust with a crunching sound.

Clearly murder slaughter and hunting gave me a sense of reality and reward for living in the present.

‘But if you keep killing and killing the people you just killed you will unconsciously develop stress and sadism.’

Regardless of the people you like or the people you dislike.

No matter how many times you kill someone if you see them saying the same thing the next time you will have a defect in feeling the dignity of a person.

I needed some change and games to feel the stimulation of life.

When it comes to fighting games the focus is on how to kill a player with a perfect combo without getting hit even once.

If you’re talking about an FPS game you gave yourself the task of killing all enemies with headshots in the shortest amount of time.

Babel’s system sometimes accommodated such hobbies.

Taking unnecessary risks and killing people more aggressively Gonghyeok wandered around looking for stimulation within the given environment.

I myself wanted to quit such trivial game assignments.

For Gonghyeok this was a forced game to save the world.

I heard a whisper from a corner of my soul that I couldn’t escape even if I died.

How many hours have passed?

The blood that had reached my mouth hardened into a hard crust and the dampness of my hood slowly disappeared.

Wow!

I heard the hunters’ shouts in my ears.

＊ ＊ ＊

The match went on boringly.

“Hey wait a minute. Even if you kill me you will only get 5% coins. Don’t overdo it and get hurt. “It is surrender.”

If the opponent seemed even a little strong he would pound the floor three times and shout surrender.

Of course if you fail and your hand is cut off you die.

He verbally abuses a colleague who has withdrawn without any hesitation.

Since there was no fighting in front the remaining comrades had to fight more.

Most of them were one-sided not even competitions.

However as one-sided as it was the results were bizarre.

If only 1 out of 20 people in Gonghyeok’s match survived.

The subsequent matches ended with nearly 15 people surviving.

The hunters started talking while looking at each other.

‘Killing a lot isn’t the only achievement right?’

‘I think there are some useful achievements on the angel side as well.’

And finally the captains of the two teams joined hands.

‘Actually there is a solution to this mission that allows everyone to survive.’

[All 10 members of the Blue team survived]

[All 10 members of the red team survived]

[The match is 5 wins 5 losses all wins are by surrender]

[13 matches are declared a draw]

[Achieved the amazing achievement ‘Everyone survives and draws!’ Achievement rate 489%!]

[As compensation each person receives 5 navy blue coins…]

[1 blue coin will be given to ‘Julia’ the captain who led the negotiations]

Wow!

The hunters who encountered the miracle let out a shout.

Nariel a great achievement also came down with a tearful face.

[The hidden quest ‘There is a solution to every mission! (2F)’ has been achieved.]

[The title is given as ‘Savior of the Second Floor.’ When worn on the 2nd floor all abilities increase by 25%]

Your way is the right answer. The angel acknowledged it that way.

The ‘savior of the second floor’ came up the stairs receiving cheers from the hunters.

And then I walked hurriedly to where Gonghyeok was.

“Did you say X?”

She stopped looked down at Gonghyeok’s mask without fear and opened her mouth.

“I heard it from Maria. “About what you did on the first floor.”

Gonghyuk and Julia’s eyes met.

“You are wrong.”

Gonghyuk raised both hands in the air without saying a word.

match

The two hands clash together and make a sound.

Clap clap clap

“bravo”

It was an act of applause.

The most vicious killer was praising the greatest savior.

Julia who was glaring sharply frowned and turned around.

The match after that was extremely boring.

Everyone began to negotiate and surrender in order to obtain the ‘draw achievement’.

Among them there were some who did not surrender as promised and dragged their opponents into an abyss or had a hard time communicating but most of them reached an agreement and the game ended in a draw.

Because most people were reluctant to risk their lives and fight for life or death.

Clap clap clap clap

Gonghyeok’s applause continued as the game continued to be a draw.

And when all the games were over Nariel landed in front of Gonghyeok.

Angel Nariel’s face showed emotions that were difficult to describe.

[You have succeeded in the special quest ‘Example’]

[The devil’s causality calculator gives results]

[Joo Gong-hyuk decided to show the most terrible match in his first match. It was claimed that hunters affected by this would feel fear of duels and would be biased toward a draw.]

[The causality calculator calculates whether the effect was as claimed]

[A total of 33 draws were established. Of these about 69% were influenced by Joo Gong-hyeok’s brutal murder.]

[It is believed that approximately 22 draws occurred due to his influence.]

[Special quest completion rate 220%]

[As promised reward you will receive 1 blue coin and 10 navy coins ‘Bonus Dungeon Key’]

[As an additional achievement bonus 1 blue coin and 10 navy coins are given]

Clap─ Clap─ Clap─

“bravo. bravo. bravo.”

Everything.

It was as intended.
