[The ability ‘Poison Resistance’ is activated!]
I expected you to be up to something.
I have ‘Poison Resistance’ and Liny’s ‘Purification’, so most poisons won’t work on me.
-Pfft!
As soon as she finished speaking, Joo Hye-ryeong kicked the table in front of me away with her foot and tried to subdue me.
But it was too slow.
I immediately went behind her, grabbed her by the hair, and made her kneel on the floor.
“Keuk… … !”
“Hey, Hye-ryeong!”
“Everyone, stay still.”
With one hand, he held Joo Hye-ryeong’s arms and bent them backwards, and with the other hand, he held her head.
Joo Hye-ryeong was struggling, but it was useless.
“Poisoning your benefactor? Isn’t that too much?”
“But… … You’re too strong! I couldn’t help it!”
She screamed as if she was vomiting.
I looked down at her silently and then stared at the others.
You can deal with them, but you can’t waste your time.
But that doesn’t mean I can just let it go.
“You said you were right-handed?”
-Thud!
“Ahh!”
【Wow, Kangrim’s personality is amazing!】
【Right-handed person’s right arm breaking personality!】
I broke Joo Hye-ryeong’s right arm.
As she screamed, people came rushing at her with weapons, and I glared at them.
I saw them pause in my gaze.
“Do you want to increase what started out as one arm into two?”
“… … !”
“I think one arm is a cheap price for poisoning someone.”
I would have liked to have cut off one of my legs, but then I might have died from excessive bleeding.
I lifted Joo Hye-ryeong up from her seat.
“I’ll take Joo Hye-ryeong away for a bit. I won’t kill her. Come back for her in 30 minutes.”
“What the heck… … !”
I opened the door without waiting for them to speak.
The next room seemed like a conference room.
I looked through the doors, but there was no trace left on this side either.
There were some bloodstains left here and there, so I thought they were traces and decided to follow them.
“You killed Nam Yu-jun, right? Is that so?”
As I dragged Joo Hye-ryeong into the next room, she glared at me and said.
It was so true that I couldn’t even say anything.
After crossing one more room, I sat Joo Hye-ryeong down on a chair and tied her up with a rope.
There happened to be a lot of cut cloth nearby.
“If you wait, people will come soon.”
“What? You’re going to leave it like this? What are we going to do when the devil comes?”
“That’s none of my business.”
The sound of the drums was irregular, but it wouldn’t sound again for at least an hour or two.
There was a higher chance that people from other areas would come in and harm Joo Hye-ryeong than the demons.
But that wasn’t my situation.
I ignored the screaming Joo Hye-ryeong and followed the trail of blood.

Seo Kang-rim was recalling the time in his past life when he entered Shin Soo-ah and Geo-hae’s room.
As expected of a low-achieving student from District 2, he was the last one to enter Geohae’s room.
And next to Seo Kang-rim was Shin Soo-ah.
Although Shin Soo-ah was already qualified to enter the final magic realm, she waited for Seo Kang-rim.
After a long time they were finally able to enter the final door.
After most people escaped and entered the last magic realm, there were only traces of the fight left, and no sign of life was felt.
[Ms. Shin Soo-ah, why didn’t you leave me behind and go first?]
It was difficult for him to understand.
Why would an awakened person of Shin Soo-ah’s level bring herself along?
After it was discovered that he had a ‘fortune-stealing habit’, everyone avoided him.
Even if it weren’t for that ability, there would have been no reason to bring the weak Seo Kang-rim as a party member.
Shin Soo-ah looked back at Seo Kang-rim and said.
[I like Seo Kang-rim.]
[… …Why?]
He couldn’t understand.
It was because even he himself could not find his own strengths.
Even humans and gods ignore her, so why does Shinsooah wait for her?

Shin Soo-ah spoke while silently searching the inside of the magic mirror.
[Mr. Seo Kang-rim, you’ve never used fortune telling before, right?]
[yes.]
[I like that. It’s easy to become evil, but you don’t choose the evil path.]
Even after hearing that answer, Seo Kang-rim’s frustration did not improve.
This guy was mistaken about something.
It wasn’t because he was kind that he didn’t use ‘stealing fortunes’.
Because they simply don’t have the ability to kill people.
If he had only had the same level of ability, he would have killed many people and taken their abilities.
[I need someone I can trust. I want to keep in touch with Seo Kang-rim even after I leave here.]
Seo Kang-rim nodded, even though he thought Shin Soo-ah was misunderstanding.
The reason I wanted to accompany Shin Soo-ah was for a suspicious reason.
To kill Shin Soo Ah and steal her fortune.
From the beginning, Seo Kang-rim did not believe in Shin Soo-ah’s kindness.
I thought everyone had some kind of plan.
He knew that his talent was rare.
I thought that Shin Soo Ah wanted to use that ability, so she wore a good mask and tried to use me.
Even so, I didn’t really feel betrayed or anything.
I have already experienced countless people using and betraying me.
He also planned to use Shin Soo-ah to some extent and then betray her.
He didn’t believe that Shin Soo Ah really believed in him and wanted him out of pure goodwill.
Because there is no way such a person exists.
‘That’s what I thought at first.’
Seo Kang-rim laughed at himself as he went through the demonic realm.
He entered the secret society with the intention of profiting from Shin Soo-ah and eventually killing her.
The person who used to be like that is now struggling to save the people of Bihomun.
It wasn’t even funny.
‘There’s nothing here.’
I passed several rooms but there was no trace.
When Seo Kang-rim opened the door to the west, it was a tea room.
As he stepped inside, he heard a creaking sound near his neck, as if a device was turning.
[Stage 1 of the Belt of the Giant Sea is in progress!]
‘Has it been a day since you came in?’
The belt of the giant sea had been moving a little bit with each passing day since it entered the demon realm.
It had only been a day so I hadn’t felt the blade touch me yet.
I was a little nervous, but not because I was worried about my throat being cut.
‘Where the hell is everyone?’
We’ve been tracking the locations of the bloodstains to find Shinsooah, but we haven’t encountered Area 2 yet.
On the contrary, I wasted time meeting and fighting with members of other districts that I didn’t need to meet.
As soon as they saw Seo Kang-rim, they rushed at him as if he were a demon.
‘I found the badge, but it was of no use.’
Only a day had passed, and he was feeling anxious, like someone who had been given a terminal diagnosis.
At that moment, Yo-rong lightly bit Seo Kang-rim’s hand.
“Kyaang!”
It didn’t hurt, it just seemed like he was asking me to look at him.
I could see that his eyes were filled with sleepiness.
Only then did Seo Kang-rim realize that quite a bit of time had passed.
“Okay. Go to the spirit world and get some rest.”
When permission was granted, Yo-rong nodded and then quickly turned into light and disappeared.
Linney looked envious.
“When Yo-rong comes back from sleep, I’ll let you go.”
“Wow!”
I couldn’t send both of them to the spirit world at the same time because I didn’t know what would happen.
Because of this, the leaders took turns resting while moving throughout the day.
【Hey, but Youngsoo is resting, but Seo Kangrim, aren’t you resting?】
【As if he doesn’t know that his life is precious.】
“I’m feeling better after taking the pills.”
Seo Kang-rim had been moving without rest for over a day.
Thanks to the supplements I had taken, my body was full of energy and I was able to go without sleep for several days.
Even if there had been no change in life, there was no rest.
‘It’s hard to track because there’s no trace.’
He was wondering which of the five doors to go through, and opened the north door.
It felt like the wind was blowing from somewhere.
‘Is this… a stable?’
As if it was a newly built building, the inside was empty and there was no smell of animals.
But there was something familiar there.
There was something on the floor.
【Huh? What is that?】
【Not a necklace?】
【You idiot, you’re being foolish. Don’t go around calling yourself a god.】
【Then what is that?】
【It’s a rosary. Haven’t you been to a church?】
【You crazy bastard! How do you get into another god’s house?】
Seo Kang-rim picked up the rosary from the floor.
It was shaped like something a stranger might mistake for a necklace.
Black beads were strung like a necklace, with a cross hanging from the end.
‘Is that the rosary that Father John carried around?’
I remembered seeing Father John often holding it.
The design of the rosary was not unusual, so it may have belonged to someone else, but it was most likely Father John’s.
‘It seems certain that I have passed through here… … .’
The first clue I discovered was met with impatience rather than joy.
If Father John drops his rosary, it means the situation is urgent.
Besides, he didn’t even come back to get it back.
I looked around the room and it was full of knife marks, bullet marks, and arrow marks.
‘Which way should we evacuate?’
The footprints left on the floor were difficult to distinguish.
I walked towards the direction where the footprints were clearly visible and opened the door.
As I entered the next room, a large bookshelf caught my eye.
Something was moving behind the bookshelf.
‘Are they people from District 2?’
The moment Seo Kang-rim stood up urgently and went inside, his expectations were shattered.
A black shadow appeared from behind the bookshelf.
And there were more than one or two.
-A, A, A… … .
The shadows coming from between the bookshelves were endless.
At first glance, it looks like there are more than a dozen of them.
Shadows began to fill the room.
【There are too many?】
【Isn’t it twice as much as what we encountered at Suragan?】
【No, Kangrim’s luck is ruined.】
As they said, there were more of them this time.
It didn’t matter because it was just bad luck, it happened all the time.
In the time we spend lamenting, we must cut down at least one more.
-Gagagak!
A shadow ran towards him from the front.
The shadow, with its right arm broken and dangling, was swinging a spear with its left hand.
Seo Kang-rim pulled out his sword and pierced it, while simultaneously sending sparks at the shadow trying to attack from behind.
-Phew!
The head flew away and black ash burst out.
Seo Kang-rim shouted as he killed the shadow.
“Lini, take care of the rear!”
“yes!”
[The ability ‘Water Catcher’ is activated!]
Moisture in the air gathered and formed huge water droplets.
The water droplets gently, yet firmly, swallowed the shadows.
The shadows were trapped in the water and struggling, but they did not seem to die.
However, as the number of enemies decreased, Seo Kang-rim found it much easier to move.
‘Okay. If we keep going like this, it might take some time, but we can take him down… … .’
-Taang!
The moment Seo Kang-rim heard gunshots.
Blood was slowly seeping out of his side.
When Seo Kang-rim looked back, a small shadow was aiming a rifle at him.
