The next day. The Hunters picked out the ’22nd floor’ after reading all the Apocalypses. [Demon Slayer] was chosen without difficulty because it was none other than the the top one Ranker herself who recommended it.

❝Hoooh? I see you all chose Action as your first genre.❞ The librarian watched them make their decision and meaningfully laughed.

❝It’s not a bad choice! According to the expression you lot use, you may even be able to learn ‘Skills’.❞

Ohhhhhhhhh, the Hunters got excited.

❝However, all things are high-risk, high-returns! That’s how strong the ‘enemy’ characters are. Needless to say, but if you enter the Apocalypse and lose your life, you will actually die in reality. Of course, you won’t be able to escape from the Apocalypse until you’ve completed the ‘ending’ properly!❞ Everyone was in high spirits and yet the librarian immediately sprayed ashes on the mood.

The Hunters shut their mouths.

❝[Demon Slayer] has a play limit of 2 to 3 people. Now! Who’s going to be part of the characters of this Apocalypse?❞

The Hunters’ eyes naturally turned towards the top rankers.

Among them, Baek Hyang was the one who garnered the most attention. The reason was simple. It was because she was the leader of the first ranking guild.

❝I’ll take part.❞ With power comes great responsibility and she had no intention of running away from her responsibilities.

At my quick answer, the guild masters smiled delightfully, as if saying ‘I knew she would do that’.

❝I’ll get in on the act too.❞ The king of death followed up and said. ❝You can’t leave out your own disciple.❞

Everyone could plainly see his body was itching for excitement.

❝I’m glad. The minimum number of people has been met!❞ The librarian chuckled.

❝We can have one more character coming with us here... How do you guys want to do it?❞

❝I'm sorry child but as the person who recommended the Apocalypse, I have already chosen the hunters I'll take with me and you're not in the list.❞ The Heavenly Demon quickly proclaimed.

Looking at it again, the reason for discontinuation was ridiculous.

❝As you can see, those who have read the Apocalypse know that the demons of that world can be cured to return back as humans. Needless to say, we should not only take strong Hunters but also Hunters who have extensive knowledge about diseases.❞

❝I know who is the most educated when it comes to diseases.❞ The Sword Saint smiled brightly and called for someone from the [Martial Arts] group where he came from.

❝Medicine King. Will you come out?❞

A stubborn-looking elderly man walked out with his hands behind his back.

❝I suggest a group of us three. The head of the demonic sect, me and the Medicine King. Don’t worry. I will be the one mainly fighting, and Heavenly Demon will help if I am not enough. And when you resolve the matter regarding the demon disease, this Apocalypse will only be for the two of us… Heavenly Demon, is there anything you want to say?❞ As he spoke confidently, the Sword Saint stared at the dark haired Ranker with his hands raised.

❝Ahhh. Yes. Non of you are accepted in my team. The people I’d like to bring with me are those two.❞ She lowered her hand and pointed to two Hunters.

One of the Hunters, who was pointed out of nowhere, gasped for words.

❝Uhhh, huhhh? Are you talking about me…?❞ It was the Alchemist.

❝Yes, that’s right.❞ Baek Hyang nodded.

The Alchemist trembled as if she had been struck by lightning while walking down the street.

❝I-It hasn’t even been a week since I received my Title. Ve-, I’m very weak! It wouldn’t be of any use even if you took someone like me with you, so why…❞

❝You’re the most capable pharmacist and doctor that I know, Alchemist. Even Kim Gong-ja supports that idea.❞ Baek-Hyang smiled widely, her unnatural razer sharp, short fangs showing.

❝Huhh? Yes…?❞

The Alchemist’s eyes were in despair as if she was looking at the devil.

❝I see why you would need the Alchemist but how will I be of any use?❞ Heresy Inquisitor pouted, one finger poking at his cheek.

❝A pretty face like yours is always needed. Incase those people truly believe I'm a demon once they hear my title, your angelic appearance will calm the spirits.❞ Baek Hyang shamelessly explained, ignoring the pointy glances of those around them.

❝A! I see! How thoughtful of you, Heavenly Demon.❞ The leader of the Ten Thousand Temple Guild replied cheerfully.
