Damned 13th Regression – 59
by Jessie@AFNCC
< Episode 59 – Blood Dice >
Tens of thousands of hunters scanned the sand hell of the field.
If you do it wrong you could end up buried in the sand.
However like the sand hell outside there was no underground water flowing underneath so you could get out of the sand if you wanted to.
230000 hunters jumped into each pit.
Nevertheless it was wide enough that there were no major restrictions on behavior and among them there were many people who were happy that they had picked up golden dice.
and···.
“Oh! Ruby Ruby Dice!”
A transparent color that clearly shines through to the ruby color.
One Chinese hunter was delighted with the dice he had never seen before.
As it is ‘Hehe congratulations. ‘You were born to be loved.’ If most people are obediently happy there will be no problem in building a peaceful society in Babel.
‘Tsk.’
There was a person quietly passing by clicking his tongue.
‘He takes the jaw with one blow.’
It’s not that difficult to steal the dice from a guy who is distracted by joy. It seemed simple as long as he made a decision quickly and executed it before he came to his senses.
Shook
A round shadow spread around him as he naturally yawned and stretched out his arms.
Coo!
“Aaaah!”
“Is that a finger?”
A little finger the size of an elephant stabbed the hunter who was trying to snatch the ruby dice.
“The use of force of any kind including extortion is not permitted.”
The hunter below who was crushed by the magnificent sound spit out sand and apologized.
“sorry! “Please save me just once!”
“No killing.”
As the little finger was lifted the hunter staggered out of the shallow hole.

“Fuhahaha. You stupid bastard. This is mine! “You can’t take it away!”
Putting the ruby dice in his bosom the Chinese hunter continued to look for other dice.
People thought as they watched Hunter shaking his head to remove sand from his ears and head.
‘That’s the way it was.’
‘Is it really impossible to use other tricks?’
While the other hunters were stroking their chins and contemplating Diego of Uruguay came out of the sand hell spitting.
“This damn fair method doesn’t suit this body.”
If only Diego’s avatar ‘Falcon’ could be used it would have been possible to snatch him in one go while floating in the sky.
‘It would be much easier for slave-like guys to snatch something useful and then threaten to drop it on the floor or kill it and take it away.’
Thinking like that he stretched out his hands and gathered the power of the avatar.
[Avatars are not available in the current region]
‘Is Falcon’s condition okay?’
= Beep─
Judging from his unique high tone there was no problem with Falcon’s condition.
However the spirit cannot be summoned.
This is because as stated in the rules summoning was forced.
Diego chewed the ‘pleasant blade of grass’ brought from the third floor.
‘If you’re going to proceed with the mission like this it’s much better to have the angel alone. Seeing as there is even a demon opposing him there must be some extra rule worth digging into.’
Diego who was using his brain and trying out various things saw a crazy guy in the distance eating a snack and talking with a fork.
‘What is that guy doing hanging out like that? ‘Not doing anything.’
However he was just walking without doing anything in particular.
Suddenly I remembered a story I had heard at the recruitment plaza on the 5th floor.
‘Now that I think about it is that guy the guy they bet on back then?’
Diego who was on the outskirts of the gathered people was the closest to being able to hear the stories of the people in the unique city.
“Fandango! Would you like to bet on how many of these people will make it into the ‘fourth room’?”
“Good. 80000 people is roughly… “Is 2000 people under or over?”
“It seems like the company’s current gamblers are set at exactly 2218 people.”
“From what I saw in person not the gamblers playing in the casino far away I judged…
Because these guys must be pretty stupid. Under.”
“me too. Under.”
“Of course it’s underground.”
As the colleagues around him all shouted ‘under’ the man who had placed the bet held his head.
“They seem like they don’t even know the fun of gambling. Then gambling doesn’t work right? “I’m also under.”
“2200 people is too many so how about reducing it to about 1800?”
“Ha let’s just pretend this never happened and stick with that.”
The finger pointed to the man standing at the forefront of the newcomers.
A Northeast Asian man with nothing particularly unusual about him.

“That guy is him right? “No. 1 in each city’s nomination.”
“Our scouts have already confirmed it.
“That guy has the highest abilities.”
“What are your abilities?”
“I heard that almost all of them got a C grade.”
“Almost everything? crazy···. Higher than me. “Is that a person or something?”
“I’ll be eating somewhere in a few years.”
The woman who had mentioned the scouter shook her head.
“No the avatar is the problem. “It feels like nothing more than a scout-type avatar.”
“Reconnaissance type? Then the grade is almost…”
“At best it would be C grade.”
The surrounding hunters smiled vaguely.
“Ah the stats are strangely excellent. “The potential of the avatar is definitely low at that level.”
“They say the avatar is the hunter’s potential. Unless you survive for 200 years it would be impossible for you to work as an executive on the front line. “Tsk tsk”
“If that’s the case wouldn’t it be okay to actually rank it as 4th or 5th? Well the avatar may evolve or expand later so are you keeping that in mind?”
“There is a possibility of great growth in this mission right now. “If you roll 80 or more in the evolution room or enter the fourth room.”
“now. “Forget all your personal opinions.”
The man who led the bet brightened the mood and summarized the topic.
“This is it. Will the talented super rookie over there enter the ‘fourth room’ or not? Let’s settle on that. “Then me first.”
He gave a playful thumbs up.
“Over.”
The hunters around nodded and grinned.
“Under.”
“Under.”
“Under.”
“Under.”
“Under.”
“Ha~ These kids really don’t know how to play. hey! Think about your unexpectedness! huh? “He was nominated first for no reason…”
“Your next disgrace.”
Diego thought as he recalled them flirting.
If it’s a C grade it’s definitely one level higher than you but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for comparison.
If the situation and numbers are right you can easily overpower them.
Moreover if the avatar is not of the combat world the efficiency of the fight is very different.
There is no need to avoid even 1:1 battles as long as you have ‘Falcon’ an avatar that is outstanding among the combat world.
‘That bastard… Are you going to see the opportunity and then squander it?’
Diego became the catcher’s eye to see the gap between him and his prey.
And Gonghyeok who was making Nathaniel who had become a fork cry as he brought the sausage to his mouth felt those stinging gazes.
Eye color.
It’s annoying.
The hunter-eating killer’s eyes narrowed like a snake.
***
Starting with ruby dice various gemstone dice including sapphire topaz began to appear.
For the first time in a while I was free from the tension of hunters dying and killing me and I left everything to luck and diligently dug into the sand.
A notification window appeared in front of Gonghyuk who was lying down and looking at it.
[28424 people learned the principle of ‘manipulated dice’ thanks to you]
[The achievement ‘Yabawi Master’s Teachings’ has been achieved]
[56 navy blue coins and 5684 purple coins are given as a reward]
[If you are unable to pay the buff fee the amount you owe will be deducted.
Current coin holdings
47 navy blue coins were deducted. 9 remaining navy blue coins.
5684 purple coins have been deducted. [Remaining Purple Coins – 12349]
“He’s a debt collector.”
– I’m in debt.
Nathaniel whose head was sticky with saliva muttered soullessly.
Gonghyuk gently scratched his chin and turned off the notification window.
The fact that the reward window now appeared meant that the mission’s time limit had passed.
A sharp whistle sounded.
Liliane holding a whistle appeared above the heads of the hunters who were shedding sweat from hard work.
“Hunters who dream of making a fortune! Digging time is now over. “Please stop your hands.”
“Devil that bastard won’t stop he’ll keep going!”
“Hey hey! “I’m telling you to stop!”
“Fuck you. Is it because you’re jealous? Then you guys do it too!”
Liliane shook her head as if she was helpless.
“Whether you do something or not just work hard. Just a few more minutes won’t change anything.
But it’s time to decide which door to enter.”
Three options shone in front of all hunters.
1. The door to a career
2. The Gate of Matter
3. Gate of Evolution
“Will you meet what you lack? Or do you want to strengthen your strengths? “Please think carefully and decide for one minute.”
“Uhm…”
As the hunters pondered Liliane waved her finger as if she remembered something.
“Oh and I have a disclaimer. If you enter the door roll the dice and receive the reward this 5th floor mission is over.
You do the work get in the door and get rewarded.
“It may not be equal in that the reward depends on luck but it is a mission that makes everyone a little happier.”
“By the way. If things had progressed this happily Sandalphon would have carried out this mission alone not me.
Shouldn’t missions also have choices? There may be some people who are better suited for the intense missions arranged by our demons rather than these simple missions.
In addition for those who don’t like the dice they picked up or who don’t get satisfied unless they beat someone once a day we prepared an overtime game with slightly different rules.”
Cheek!
A burning sound was heard and the rules written in the air were erased.
(Deleted) Rule 1. No killing between hunters. No extortion. No talking.
(Deleted) Rule 5. Time limit is 6 hours. After that you have to make a choice.
(★Added)Rule 6. Those who remain without making a selection can compete to obtain ‘blood dice’.
thud! Coo!
Ten red dice with a diameter of 2m fell from the air.
“Those who are willing to kill someone and die can stay.”
A few people hesitated at her soft voice.
Some people swallowed their saliva or…
Some people had their eyes shining as if they had been waiting.
After 60 seconds more than 80000 people scattered like light and were sucked into three doors.
The ones left behind were those who chose the fourth option which was not among the options.
96 outlaws remained on the land.
“I’m just going to take care of the people over there. Sandalphon will handle your proceedings.”
With those words Liliane also disappeared and the gigantic image of Sandalphon that had been vaguely reflected became more concrete.
“Every ten men fight in one cage.”
96 people were divided into ten cages.
“Only one person out of ten can get a blood dice.”
Sandalphon closed his eyes and muttered.
“Whether we fight ask for forgiveness or kill I don’t care how.”
The hunters trapped in a shining cage created by Sandalphon’s power looked at each other and carefully took out their weapons.
The 10th and final cage where Joo Gong-hyeok and Diego were trapped was no different.
“what. “You still can’t use skills and avatars.”
Diego looked at the situation while grumbling like that.
It wasn’t bad
The 10th cage was lucky and only 6 people were trapped.
In other words the number of people to fight against from 9 has been reduced to 5.
In addition there was a guy who could be said to be a common enemy.
A Korean hunter who was lying down as if he was bored.
Diego raised both hands while keeping an eye on the guy.
“wait for a sec. Wait a minute you guys. “Listen to me.”
Except for Joo Gong-hyuk the eyes of four people were focused on him.
“If you came up from the 4th floor you probably know someone.
“Don’t you think you’ve seen that Asian guy somewhere?”
The other four people’s expressions hardened at Diego’s words.
“Now that I think about it the one who attacked the devil alone?”
“what. “Is it him?”
As there was a look of confusion between them Diego took over.
“Everyone understands right? That guy is the strongest out of all of them. “Then wouldn’t there be a need for order?”
“I see. Are you saying we should deal with it first?”
A Middle Eastern hunter wearing a turban and holding a scimitar took steps behind Gonghyeok and other hunters followed his movements to surround him.
“I don’t have any bad intentions.”
“There is a proverb in our country like this. ‘The strongest lion does not survive the longest.’”
Gonghyeok raised one of his eyebrows as if looking at them holding up their weapons with bloody force.
“no. I’d rather be thankful for this. “That person is annoying.”
Diego frowned at the finger pointing at him.
“You don’t like me? Come on.”
“Count to three and go in.”
“one.”
“two.”
The other hunters were nervous and worked together in an unusual atmosphere.
“three!”
With Diego’s spirit five hunters rushed to Gonghyeok.
Each weapon was swung in a skilled rhythm.
‘ah. thank god.’
Gonghyuk smiled brightly and thought.
‘Because of my one-hit kill the physical damage from all my skills and attacks is only 1%.’
We did a lot of buffing to make Guardland scary so the aftereffects were still there.
In the case of a one-hit kill instead of increasing the physical impact of the skill by 10 times there was a debuff that made it completely incapacitated for 72 hours.
‘My hands are at the level of a fly swatter right now. ‘I have to lend a little help to others.’
His hands and feet moved fluidly leaving his left foot as the axis.
The back of my hand slightly pushed the blade of the scimitar and the sole of my foot moved the spear blade to the right.
The trajectory of the flying iron bat changes and the blade that was aimed at the stomach is raised with the knee.
The five directions that had been flying to target one person lost their target.
However it was already too late to stop the sword strikes which were cleverly crossed and aimed at the blind opponent on the other side.

Their blows struck each other’s bodies as if they were playing trains and they collapsed vomiting blood.
“What crazy thing happened?”
It was only for a moment but Diego realized.
I don’t know what happened but this guy is on another level.
It wasn’t a normal fight it was just a simple joke as if he was taunting us. He came in front of Diego who was supporting himself by sticking his knife into the floor.
A joyful and excited voice reached Diego’s ears.
“If you do more I can really kill you. Do you want to continue?”
Diego spat blood-stained spit and his eyes were bloodshot.
“Please save me!”
