chapter 10
10 – Unbelievable Achievement
<02:03>
2 minutes before the stage starts.
<From stage 6, the player’s shield will be activated.>
Well, I already knew that information.
Knowing what will happen is not a bad feeling.
The time when I was the only one without information has passed.
And then, amidst the chaos of the spider’s attack, I came to understand why I was taking more hits than anyone else.
The spider’s scream was a skill that inflicted more damage the higher one’s magical power.
“I almost died on the previous stage too! Blood was coming out of my eyes…”
Well, she probably had it worse than me.
“Now, it should be fine. I have a shield now.”
Shield: 5168/5168
hahahaha, looking at the shield value made me feel secure.
– Hoo-ray!
Here they come, the guests.
– Thump thump thump thump thump!
“Sir! Should I start by hitting the corrupted monsters?!”
I nodded casually and now focused on the creatures rushing towards us from two portals.
There were about eight corrupted monsters.
“Isn’t this a bit excessive?”
Perhaps because I had expanded the dimensional rift to its limit, the number of regular zombies had increased dramatically.
“It’s at least more than double! Look, even the spiders are here!”
– Kiiiiiii!
Two spiders crawled out simultaneously from both sides, letting out terrifying screams.
“Didn’t they say boss monsters come out one at a time?”
“Well, this isn’t a boss monster anymore, sir…”
“Ah, really?”
Especially in times like this, one must confidently step forward!
Shield: 4668/5168
“Wow, 500 damage in one sound attack turn..”
– Bang bang bang!
Durability: 2699/2800
The rate at which durability is diminishing is incredibly fast. Hurry up.
– Synchronization complete.
eeeing- Kwakwakwakwakwaak!
As the three simultaneously unleash magic bullets, the corrupted demons turn into dust in an instant.
With Gahee joining, the firepower noticeably strengthened.
Zombies turning into dust in an instant under the barrage of bullets pouring from 24 orbs.
“I’m running out of stamina!”
“Sorry, I’ve used everything too!”
“Don’t worry, it’s more than enough.”
Even after clearing a corrupted demon and a spider demon, there are still 7 shots left.
Wait for the right timing when there are no zombies around the spider and shoot.
Bang!
A magical bullet flies towards the spider demon’s body.
Ting-!
“Huh?”
From where did the monster with a round blade around its decayed and exposed face emerge? It deflected the bullets I shot with its blade.
Thunk!
The cracked bullets hit below the spider, tearing one of its legs, but it wasn’t a significant blow among its numerous legs.
Oh, it’s a boss…
After deflecting the bullets, the monster looked at me intensely, but its pupils were facing in the opposite direction, giving me chills.
“Sir, I’ll just go out and draw aggro.”
Huh? Gaehee, you don’t really need to do that…
“Just ask until the spider is dead.”
But if you ask, I won’t refuse.
Without much hesitation, I went out to the opposite side of the boss’s shelter, and the boss reacted faster than the zombies.
– Kihahahahaha?!
Squeak-squeak-
The creature rotated the blade as if pulling a wheelchair, moving towards Gaehee.
As soon as it turned the corner, it shot bullets at the spider again.
– Bam! Bam!
– Kieee!
Nice! The stroke of luck continued as the doubles exploded in its torso.
Gaehee desperately ran through the zombies surrounding Shelter 4.
Durability: 1866/2800
Surrounded by hundreds of zombies, durability diminishing at an incredible pace.
And Gahee, luring the bratty students towards the shelter, was on her way back.
Fortunately, the shelter brats weren’t moving at an unbelievably fast speed.
“Hurry! Die, damn it!”
Bang! Bang bang! Bang-!
-Grrr…
Fired until stamina was depleted, but the guy was still alive.
– Thud thud thud!
Attacking the shelter with trembling legs.
With that kind of persistence, anything might succeed.
Ee-it!
Thud-!
Oh? Short-haired girl.
Veins of bluish blood rose on Eunchae’s arms and face.
“I should··· do it too···”
Thud-
Eunchae collapsed simultaneously with the spider.
The spider transformed into ash and flew away, and I approached Eunchae, checking her pulse.
Phew, she should be okay.
Should I lay something on the ground in preparation for the fall?
Shouting at Kahi, who fled outside the shelter with such thoughts.
“Just come in! Run!
Ugh! Get lost, you bastards.”
With saliva dripping, he pushed away the zombies clinging to him with his legs, creating space.
Shield: 4488/5168
Perhaps surrounded by a large number of zombies, the incoming damage was quite substantial.
Kahi, close to the shelter, was in a critical condition. She had been attacked by a zombie and had a long wound on one arm, blood flowing steadily.
Grabbing Kahi’s waist in one motion, he pushed her into the shelter.
“Uncle, behind you!”
Crack!
“Ah! It hurts!”
Is this guy trying to turn my precious butt into three pieces!
After stepping back and preparing to strike again, he moved to the side of the guy preparing to attack and threw a left hook at his disgusting face.
The guy couldn’t move properly as he got stuck among the zombies that had quickly closed in.
– Thud!
Look at the solid shield.
Not knowing how much to hit to remove the shield, he held the inside of the blade and kept punching.
Thud thud thud thud!
– Bweeek!
Oh, don’t vomit on me!
Continuously, the zombie-like creatures clung to my entire body, biting, clawing, and spewing dirt, while the blade-wielding leader relentlessly struck my knees.
Will anything change if I endure this?
Shield: 3342/5168
Shield: 2899/5168
Though anxious about the dwindling shield, my focus peaked as I desperately sought a way to deliver a blow.
“I need to put more strength into my punches, this won’t do as it is!”
Suddenly, I felt something cold within me shifting toward my fist.
– Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
– Thump! Squeak! Squeak!
“Oh! It’s breaking!”
I didn’t know what it was, but the impact began.
Shield: 2164/5168
Ah, my shield is breaking too! Ahhhhh! Die, just die!
– Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The sensation of grinding meat started!
– Ughhh!
Even that creature seemed bewildered.
He’s making similar sounds as the leader! In front of a fist, everyone is equal!
Thunk! Thud! Thud!
Shield: 1444/5168
Oh no, don’t show me the number of death!
One side of his skull burst open, and eyeballs popped out sporadically.
Ugh! I guess I’ve had my lunch for today.
-Kyaaahhh…
In the end, bursting into a cloud of ashes.
Shield: 762/5168
Get out of the way, you bastards!
Swinging his arms vigorously, he threw himself towards the shelter.
Entering…
Ah, I’m going in!
Whoosh…
Thud!
“No! Are you crazy, mister?!”
“A-Are you okay?”
Shield: 383/5168
That was close, huh…
I thought those zombies were nothing, but being surrounded is no joke.
Huff… pant…
“Phew, I’m okay. How about you all? Eunchae, you’re back to your senses.”
“Huh? Oh, yes, thanks to you.”
“No, sir, why are you so worried? It was really dangerous.”
It seems like Gahee is a little angry. It’s a bit scary.
“Just by looking, I thought I could catch it.”
“How do you catch that! You have to surpass at least 10 steps to be able to… Huh? Why can’t I see it?”
Gahee leans against the shelter wall and jumps to find the creature.
“Um… Did you really catch it?”
“I caught it. It felt more impactful being surrounded by zombies than catching that thing.”
Wow…
Both of them were speechless for a while.
“Let’s just kill all of them first and then talk.”
Durability: 668/2800
It might have been a bit of a stretch, but the durability should be enough.
But I might need to adjust for the next round.
Expanding the dimensional gap up to 5 at once seemed a bit excessive.
They take a moment to catch their breath and stare blankly at the zombies outside.
“This is the time I hate the most, when I can’t do anything.”
As Gahee mutters to herself, Eunchae glares fiercely.
In a split second decision, Gahee lured the creature outside, and even though she lost consciousness, Eunchae delivered the final blow.
They both did their part.
Thinking that they could raise their expectations a little, they checked the situation in the other shelters.
Huh? The shelter where the hoodlums were hanging out somehow looked precarious.
The spider webs were still intact, and there were even a couple of corrupt magpies.
Why? Could it be that getting beaten up by me had an impact on them?
“Seems like they’ve lost a lot of stamina from all that wailing and flailing just now.”
“···That was, that was brutal···”
So, if you get hit in the neutral zone, your stamina decreases. Well, it’s kind of obvious, isn’t it?
30, 20, 10
Ding.
<You have cleared Stage 6 for the third time. You have gained 1000P.>
<You have cleared Stage 6. You have gained 5160P.>
<You have achieved the first ever defeat of the -Chaos Type- on Earth. You have gained 1000P.>
<You have achieved an unbelievable feat by defeating the Chaos Type before Stage 10. You have acquired the achievement [Colosseum Manager] (Chaos Type damage +30%).>
<Rumors start to spread about the player who killed the Chaos Type on a slave-grade planet with their bare fists. The corners of the organizer’s mouth twitch slightly upwards.>
<Some of the store listings are randomly unlocked.>
<The job search function is activated.>
<The range of activities in neutral zones expands slightly.>
<Lower-tier trait purchases are unlocked.>
<Your level has increased.>
Why does it feel like things are getting longer and longer?
“Woo-hoo! Jackpot, jackpot!!”
“Wow, look at the points…”
Looks like they’re shared too.
Although the initial clear reward decreased by 3000, the reward generated by expanding the dimensional gap more than compensated for it.
Still, I should aim for the initial clear reward from the next round.
I expected much greater benefits from the final points, but it was almost at a similar level.
Nevertheless, leveling up seems to be happening quickly, so I should use it moderately.
Current points: 788,588
I want to quickly reach 800,000 and go up to a million.
More money is always better.
<Contribution Level>
Shin Ga-hee (Lv.1)
Na Eun-chae (Lv.1)
Oh, their contribution levels have also increased.
What new items have come in?
Soju glass (lion), strawberry jam, sanitary pads, barley tea drink, dumplings, cold medicine, diffuser, round dining table.
Huh? Is this all? Why is the item unlock number the same even though there are three people? Huh… There are even these small drawbacks.
“Excuse me… Oppa…”
“Oh, oppa…”
Oppa? Why are you suddenly saying that in such a scary way.
