One of the casualties included Mr. Park, Mr. Kim’s friend.
Of course, the party had voted on the issue before entering the Double Dungeon, with a stipulation that no one would argue the result. But to Mr. Kim, who had lost all reason, it was but a faded memory in the back of his mind.
“I’ll go of my own will, so could you put away the sword?”
Mr. Song asked Mr. Kim.
“How could I trust you after all this? Stop talking and walk.”
Sighing, Mr. Song walked to the altar, followed by Mr. Kim and his sword pointed at his back.
As he watched, Jinwoo bit his lips.
‘It’s not Mr. Song’s fault…’
After all, they all had voted and agreed on the result. To Jinwoo, after everything they went through, putting all the blame on Mr. Song was the height of cowardice.
‘But…’
Jinwoo simply did not have the power to stop Mr. Kim. A D-ranker who stood at the height of his rank, and an E-ranker who groveled at the lowest of his. The difference in power was too much. On top of that, he was missing one of his legs. If he tried something now, not only him, but Juhee, who was healing him, could become the target of Mr. Kim’s anger.
“Shit.”
Jinwoo closed his eyes. Out of all the days, he cursed his powerlessness the most in this moment.
In the meantime, Mr. Song had gotten on top of the altar.
woosh~!
In response, a red flame appeared at the edges of the middle area where the altar was. All those gathered gulped as they cautiously prepared for what would happen next.
But nothing happened.
Except for the appearance of the flame.
“...?”
As no new development occurred after some time, Mr. Kim and the others started feeling anxious.
“Hey, Mr. Sung, wasn’t this it?”
Mr. Kim asked Jinwoo.
“I’m not sure…”
Jinwoo had expected the Third Commandment to be fulfilled when a person went on top of the altar.
‘Was it not asking for a sacrifice?’
Well, it was not a bad news to Jinwoo. If his theory of sacrifice was wrong, then there was a chance to save Mr. Song. Jinwoo’s face brightened. As he struggled to get up, Jinwoo asked the two Hunters standing nearby for help.
