Chapter 40 – 40. Will It Be Possible to Kill

Kang In-ho, with a handkerchief in his mouth, thought while glaring at the back of Choi Chi-su’s head as he walked ahead.

‘We’ve caught all of them… But there are three left…’

With two dead and five remaining, they succeeded in incapacitating one person, so there were a total of three people currently wandering around this gutter, excluding themselves.

‘I wonder if we can catch the remaining ones this easily…’

The baby he had now captured was already frightened before he met him. However, of the three remaining, at least one is a murderer who hunted others. He would definitely have abilities suitable for battle.

If he came here in the first place, it meant he had something special. It was quite difficult for an ordinary civilian survivor to raise the survival level to level 5.

“Hmm…”

At that time, when my thoughts were complicated, I felt a sign of presence from afar.

“Hey, Choi Chi-su.”

“Yep..”

“Let’s go over there quietly.. Let’s see if someone is fighting.”

“Ah.. Yes..”

The two people quickly moved in the direction from which the sound came. Kang In-ho looked at the situation and planned to enter the battle.

******

Firefighter Kang Jun-hyuk searched through the bag of a dead zombie, sweating heavily.

Because he had brought a gas mask in advance, he was unharmed by the zombie spore attack.

‘There’s nothing this time too..’

He shook his head silently. Kang Joon-hyuk, who killed the first zombie he encountered and got some pills from the bag he was wearing, was looking for and killing other zombies in case he could get some good stuff.

For reference, this was Kang Jun-hyuk’s third gate. Kang Jun-hyuk, who had been going through the makeshift labyrinth without fail since the day the gates began to appear, was confident that he would be able to get out safely this time as well.

Having experienced countless incidents and accidents while working as a firefighter, he had a wealth of experience, and as this was already his third time in the labyrinth, he knew more about the physiology of the labyrinth than others.

‘It’s heartbreaking that I have to kill everyone I encounter in this labyrinth, but I can’t help it… If I want to return alive… I have to kill them.’

Kang Jun-hyuk as a firefighter and Kang Jun-hyuk as the head of a family fought with each other.

I couldn’t help it. The world has come to an end, and there is no place for firefighters anymore. He had to make a choice.

In the end, he decided that he would no longer care whether a fire broke out or someone committed suicide. He promised himself several times that from now on he would live only for his wife and two sons.

This pledge also included murder. To protect his family, he vowed to kill anyone he faced.

Of course, it was very heartbreaking and sad to have to justify murder as a righteous person who rescued all his life, but it was much better to kill others than to have his family die.

Meanwhile, he was a great firefighter, but he was not a great husband or father. He was always neglectful of his family. This is a chance to make up for that.

Now it was time to become a father of a family, not a firefighter at the Gwangju Fire Department.

“Huh..?”

At that time, he heard the sound of someone approaching. He immediately grabbed the fire ax and looked in the direction from which the sound was coming.

“…”

There was a tall white man standing there, covered in blood and smiling. The amount of blood on his hands, face, and mustang was more than expected.

This is not a sheep that killed one or two people. He’s probably the one who caused the two victims.

Kang Jun-hyuk was nervous. The opponent is a professional killer. Even looking at the way he was smiling, it was clear that he was a crazy pervert who enjoyed killing.

“Whoa…”

Kang Jun-hyuk took a deep breath. He then took out the lowest grade magicite he had put in his pocket before the guy got any closer. Then, he added magicite to the ring and bracelet he was wearing.

Then, a translucent film was created on his bracelet, and a red haze began to bloom over his body.

[Magic Shield Bracelet: When worn on the wrist and fed with the lowest grade magic stone, a magic shield can be deployed for 10 minutes.] [Durability 17/20]

[Warrior’s Old Ring: When fed with the lowest grade magic stone, strength is doubled for 10 minutes.] [Durability 3/7]

These were the rewards obtained through conquering the previous two labyrinths. As soon as he confirmed that his opponent was a serious bastard, he decided to give it his all.

I felt it the moment we met. The fact that if I don’t do my best, I won’t be able to go to my family tonight.

Meanwhile, the white man just grinned while watching Kang Jun-hyuk preparing for battle. It’s as if he can do whatever he wants. He was confident.

‘You are fearless. No, are you looking down on me? If that’s the case, I’m glad. I’m glad that guy is full of pride. There’s always an opening for those who are unwary. You have to take advantage of it..’

He whispered softly, praying for the white man to rest in peace.

“Ignition.”

– Grumbling.

The tip of his fire ax caught fire.

He was already ready to use his abilities.

From the beginning, I came fully prepared. From the moment he realized he had to kill someone, he decided to do his best.

He knows because he has seen the scene several times. When humans are in a situation where they are on the verge of death, they can display superhuman strength.

That’s why he made all preparations to kill even those people.

“Hoo.”

The white man grinned as he looked at the burning flames of the axe. Now it occurred to him that a somewhat interesting prey had appeared.

The two guys in front were so bland. Even though he deliberately pretended to be popular, he didn’t notice as he got close to me, and the blood was so greasy that it wasn’t very tasty.

However, the man in front of me was different in quality from the previous two people. That is already a warrior. Of course, his fighting skills were a few levels lower than that of real warriors, but his eyes were alive.

The white man smiled. I thought I could really relax my body now. Since he was just such a low-level human being, he just walked around openly without even thinking about hiding himself, and finally came across a toy that looked fun.

“The humans here have no taste for hunting. Are you any different?”

A man who was full of pride and spoke arrogantly jumped in front of Kang Jun-hyuk in an instant.

“Ugh!!”

Kwaang!!!!

Kang Jun-hyuk barely reacted to the attack of the white man who rushed at him at a speed so fast that it was difficult to follow him with his eyes. Almost instinctively, he blocked his chest. If he had been even a little late, his heart would have been pierced.

However, because he was unable to fully absorb the shock, his body collapsed and was thrown several meters backwards. He felt as if he had been hit by a compact car.

Craddangtang!!!

“Ugh!!!”

Even with his shield his his deployed his, his forearm his his his feels numb. Maybe his bones were cracked. Of course, there was no time to worry about such trivial things. Kang Jun-hyuk quickly got up and blocked his second attack.

Kwaaaaang!!!!

“Kwaaaaah!!!”

My head throbbed from the dull shock. Even though he was only trying to block it, his whole body felt numb and cold sweat flowed like a waterfall.

I don’t know what abilities the opponent had, but he wasn’t an ordinary person. His magic shield his cracked. The magic shield will be broken by the next attack. If you are hit by an attack like that without a shield, you will die. Even before I knew it, the flame of the ax had gone out.

At that moment, the images of his two sons and wife flashed before Kang Jun-hyuk’s eyes. He couldn’t fall here. His family is anxiously waiting for him at home.

Did you say that humans demonstrate superhuman strength when faced with the threat of death?

“Die!!!”

Kang Jun-hyuk swung the ax with all his might.

The unlit ax flew towards the man, and even though it was an obvious attack, the man did not avoid the ax.

-Whoop!!

An ax stuck at an angle in a man’s shoulder.

Kang Jun-hyuk was embarrassed. Why didn’t he avoid that guy?

Why is he looking at himself as if nothing is wrong?

Why wasn’t a single drop of blood flowing? Kang Jun-hyuk was very embarrassed by various questions.

Is that why? Kang Jun-hyuk’s reaction was a little late.

Haha!!!”

A crazy vampire laughs at the confused human.

He grabbed the ax and pulled Kang Jun-hyuk towards him. Then, he kicked the abdomen of Kang Jun-hyuk, who was dragged in without a thought.

“Wow…!”

Kang Jun-hyuk lost his ax and the vampire pulled the ax from his shoulder and threw it far away. He then quickly approached and struck Kang Jun-hyuk, who was sitting down.

-Boom!!!

The magic shield is broken.

-Boom!!!!

Both arms that blocked the attack were crushed.

That was the end of it. The prey is neutralized. Kang Jun-hyuk lost both his arms.

“Hmm.. Your eyes were nice, but.. You are too weak. The humans in this world… Are below standard. I’m disappointed. “I don’t even feel like hunting.”

The vampire grabbed Kang Jun-hyuk’s neck and lifted him up, who was glaring at her with her arms hanging limply.

“Die with your entrails spilling out. “You weak human being.”

The vampire cut Kang Jun-hyuk’s stomach with his sharp fingernails.

-Puhwaak!!!!

Blood splatters. The internal organs that were forcibly pulled out are stretched out.

Kang Jun-hyuk’s blood splattered everywhere. Kang Jun-hyuk was shaking and spitting out blood from his mouth. I felt like I was going out of my mind from the terrible pain of being ripped apart alive. Nevertheless, he still couldn’t relax.

Haha!”

The vampire, intoxicated by the despairing expression of the human being stained with pain, drank the blood gushing out and glowered.
