Chapter 71 – 71. Unexpected Battle

The man with the ability to summon dark spirits looked back at us with disapproving eyes. It was as if she could have conquered this labyrinth on her own. It felt like she was treating us like uninvited guests.

From the looks of it, he was now drunk with his own power and convinced. This probably means that he can get out of here without the help of others. It actually seemed possible.

Looking at the dark spirits writhing in his shadow, it seems like other people are more of a burden to him. That’s right, the dark spirits will fight on their own.

‘I will take it unconditionally.’

I like Kang Min-seok’s divine benediction and Park Min-young’s magic circuit, but I liked the dark spirit summoning to the point where my eyes were rolling.

He quickly bit down on his finger, feeling like he was falling into a dark spirit and talking to himself arbitrarily again.

‘Should I rather die now…’

I thought it would be better to quickly kill the two people and eat that one while the mess was going on. In any case, if you shoot at a defenseless enemy, you will get hit and die.

‘But I don’t know what abilities the dark spirits have… ‘

Since they are S-class, there is a high probability that the dark spirits have a variety of abilities. For example, by sacrificing for the owner or providing healing.

First, I need to clearly understand how the opponent’s abilities are activated before engaging in a fight. Even though he was of the same S class, unlike Won Min-sik, who was closer to a supporter because he was a creation class, that guy was a summoner class, so there was a high probability that he would be specialized in combat.

“Nice to meet you, my name is Kang In-ho. “I heard that solo play is difficult from the 3rd floor, so why don’t you conquer it with us?”

“Uh.. I don’t like it? Why me?”

“Yes?”

When I smiled and suggested that we attack together, the man immediately spoke informally and said no. I was a little annoyed. I don’t like it when people smile at me and talk to me kindly, but I respond informally.

However, the man did not stop there and continued speaking while mocking us.

“I don’t like it, you idiots. Why do I have to take you guys on the bus? Don’t fool around and trust your skills, which aren’t shit, and get the hell out of there. “If you keep following me, I will rip your limbs off and kill you.”

“…”

The man even now openly threatens murder, telling him to get out of the way. To kill someone by ripping off their limbs, what a vicious threat this is.

“Huh..”

“Well, hey.. Let’s just go by ourselves..”

Kang Min-seok and Park Min-young, who were standing behind me, told me to just go. I’m sorry, but I can’t just leave.

That guy looks like he’s still in his early 20s, but he doesn’t know how scary the world is and he seems to think he’s the main character of this world.

If you are an S-level skill holder, you should have thought that the other person could also be an S-level holder.

‘You’re really trying to kill me. I’ll kill you as you wish..’

As I was looking at this incredibly arrogant guy who claimed to possess S-class abilities, the thought of killing him couldn’t leave my mind. You talk arbitrarily without even understanding what abilities the other person has.

Yes, I understand how you feel about being the best here. Even if it were me, I would have been quite proud if I had an S-class summoning ability.

But no matter how confident you are, it’s crossing the line to say something like that to a stranger you met in a labyrinth where you don’t know what will happen.

Openly showing hostile feelings is something that can only be done. I think we need some education on this. I must let you know personally that if the Malbon bird is fierce, you may be in trouble.

Please note that education fees will be paid based on skills. I hope to see the effects of education when I die.

“Fuck you!! “You’re such an annoying bastard.”

“What? “What did you just say to me?”

“I said you were such an annoying bastard, you bastard. Why. Well, fuck. What are you going to do? “You little bastard.”

“I tried to send you off gracefully… But you can’t get out of the labyrinth alive-“

-Taang!!!

“Aaaaah!!!”

“Wow, crazy!!! Mr. Inho!! What if they suddenly shoot you!!!”

“Ugh!! “Oh, that person is dead!!”

I fired the gun before the guy could say anything more. I immediately pulled out the pistol I had in my inventory and shot him, so he fell down without even being able to react. Did you finish it?

“Keuuuuu..!! “This bastard!!!”

But unfortunately, he didn’t die all at once. Even if it rots, it’s still S-class. The bullet could not pierce his chest because it was blocked by the shadow.

It appears to be a dark spirit capable of automatic defense. Or perhaps the location where the dark spirit was placed was on the left chest.

“Kill it!!!”

Anyway, it looks like the damage was done. Just because you wear a bulletproof vest doesn’t mean it won’t hurt when you get shot. It seems that the shock was passed on to him. As he trembled and stretched out his hand, the ground shook and the dark spirits tried to climb up one by one. You shouldn’t leave it alone. It must be neutralized before the summoning ends.

“Search..!”

I ignored all the dark spirits that were about to be summoned and immediately used Pain Increase and Pain Sharing on the man who was the summoner, then drove the Astral Sword into his chest.

“Kwaaaaa!!!!”

“Ooooo!

The Astral Sword cannot cause physical harm, but it maximizes pain. Also, the pain got worse due to the increase in pain.

The guy collapsed and drooled from the pain that suddenly came upon him before his mind was ready.

Having prepared my mind in advance, I forced myself to endure the pain and fired a series of shots at the guy. Due to the penalty for sharing the pain, I felt so sorry, pity, guilt, and pity for the guy… But I still held back and shot him.

-Bang!! Bang! Taang!!!

All six rounds in the chamber were empty.

The dark spirit that had been summoned in advance blocked the third shot, but in the end it was not enough, as the dark spirit that was protecting the owner burst out, sending bullets into the guy’s shoulder and chest. He aimed for the head, but couldn’t hit it.

He won’t be able to stand up anymore. A pool of blood formed on the ground, and the summoning of the dark spirits was naturally canceled. It seems that the summoning is canceled when the summoner falls into a dying state or faints.

Due to the penalty for sharing my pain, I had to feel extremely depressed. It was quite annoying to feel pity for someone who shared the pain. I didn’t want to feel this shit anymore so I quickly turned off the skill.

Then I was finally able to breathe. Pain sharing seems like a perfect skill for psychopaths to use. If it was a loss, it was an ability that was no different from having no penalty. It felt like death to be forced to kill someone who felt pity for a proper human being like me.

“Oh, no!!! “You’re crazy!!”

“Fuck you… I really killed you..”

At that time, when the situation was over, the two people standing behind me began to argue with me.

I didn’t know what to do until I fired the gun, but when the chamber was empty and I heard a clicking sound, I went forward.

They must have realized that there were no bullets.

“Whew… I couldn’t help it. If I hadn’t shot him first, that bastard would have tried to kill me just for swearing at him. You would have been caught up in it too.”

“Ah, anyway..”

No matter what excuse they make, Park Min-young and Kang Min-seok keep asking why they shot each other until the end.

I ignored their words and fired more shots at the squirming dark spirit summoner. There were scars on the backs of his hands and shoulders, probably because he used ammunition weaving.

Still, it would be difficult if he stood up and attacked me again, so I had to put an end to it.

Because I can’t let down my guard without completely killing a guy with such dangerous skills. You shouldn’t leave regrets behind. A little carelessness could kill me.

“Kuheook…”

The man was completely silent as his thighs, testicles, and the left side of his face were blown up by the pistol’s bullets.

I took over the dark spirit summoning from him. Again, some of his hair fell out. My humanity also seems to have become more worn out.

Perhaps the loss of hair represents the wear and tear of humanity? If I lose all my hair, I also lose my humanity. That’s a little scary.

“Ugh.. Fuck..”

“What on earth is this?!”

“Da, you’re crazy!! “There’s no way they’ll kill you for swearing!”

Kang Min-seok and Park Min-young staring at me. There is no way to stop this. Because I have already become a murderer and these two people are slowly moving away from me.

Although it was faster than planned, we decided to take away the skill. Since you have decided to become Apocalypse’s skill robber, it is right to act clearly.

I’m sorry, but I have no time to care about people who are not mine and whom I will never see again if I go out.

“I’m sorry.”

“Now, wait a minute!!”

-Taang!!

The situation has already gone awry and they think of me as a crazy person. It’s ruined anyway, so it’s better to just kill them all here and go.

I feel sorry for Minseok and Minyoung, who believed in me, but I had no intention of saving them from the beginning.

‘I hope you will serve as a foundation for my survival.’

I shot Kang Min-seok, praying for his peace in my heart, and immediately hit Park Min-young, who was trying to do something, in the head.

In an instant, I was the only person left alive in the hallway. Their skills flowed to me. I felt a pang of guilt, but the pain quickly went away as I looked at my newly acquired skills.

“Whoa.. Fuck..”

I am incredibly lucky to have met people with such good skills in the labyrinth.

On the other hand, it would be a great misfortune for them to have encountered me.

“Let’s see..”

Divine Blessing was a skill that could not be used right away. I need to pray this evening so I can use it tomorrow. It would be okay to give this to someone else.

‘The magic circuit is…’

I immediately took out the low-level magic gemstone I had kept in my bag and absorbed it. Then the magic stone shattered, and the magic contained within it flowed into my body.

“Oh..”

This is what it felt like to have magical energy flowing through my body. Some strange energy was moving around my body. If you use this, you will now be able to use magic tools right away without magic stones. There will be more space in your bag. Also, I think it would be great because it would reduce the amount of work required to take out the magic stone.

“And summoning a dark spirit..”

This is a really key skill. It was a skill that summoned a dark spirit using a magic stone and stored it somewhere in my body. You give up your body and summon a dark spirit. If the contract was not made, a magic stone had to be consumed each time it was summoned.

“I have a good dark spirit with me under a contract. If I want to use it lightly, I can summon it with a magic stone and use it as a one-time use.”

It’s up to me whether I hire them as daily workers or full-time workers. Anyway, if you have this skill, I think it will be incredibly useful in the future.

“Because there is no need to fight one-on-one… “

If you give the dark spirit a weapon, it can be used as a soldier.

“First of all..”

I need to summon the dark spirit before going down to the third basement level. It is said that the better the quality of the magic stone, the higher the performance of the dark spirit will be summoned, so use the lower level magic stone rather than the lowest level… Wait.

“Intermediate bloodstone… This too…”

Intermediate bloodstone obtained by hunting vampires. In a way, this is also a magic stone. So, if I use this to summon a dark spirit, what kind of person will crawl out?

“I said it was worth 100 lowest grade magic stones…”

I was in trouble. Should I apply this to a weapon to create a weapon with vampire restoration, or should I use it to summon a dark spirit made based on intermediate bloodstone?

In any case, we have to check the bodies of the awakened people first.

‘Because there is one more dead awakened body outside the labyrinth…’

I thought that if I took all the corpses of the awakened people I caught out of the labyrinth, I could eat another blue reward box.

‘Am I too obsessed with compensation…’

However, as I was gathering the corpses in one place, I suddenly felt like I had become too blinded by profit.

Even if you kill someone, the guilt quickly disappears. Before I know it, I find myself just thinking about getting my reward.

It seems that the more we adapt to the disaster, the more broken we become. When I thought that, my mind suddenly became exhausted.

However, restoration of reason blocks that.

The sanity level, which had been dropping in real time, quickly returned to 100.

In terms of numbers, it is a very normal condition. But am I really in a good state right now?

I don’t know.
