I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 10

Episode 010

Now that the market manager has left, there is no way to deal with the Chungwangryu that is following us.

As my eyes darkened in a gloomy mood, the conductor pointed to one side.

“No, not yet. there!”

From an inconspicuous corner of this vacant lot, we saw two people gesturing towards us.

It’s a face that neither of them know.

It was clear that he was not a market manager.

So what were those fighting sounds?

As we got closer, we could see who was fighting.

At first glance, a seriously injured market manager was hiding behind a rock.

The blood he shed formed a puddle on the floor.

Among market managers, he was famous for being unsophisticated.

He had a handsome face, was young, and had great skills and potential, so he was a person with a high opinion of himself.

I don’t know the name.

Because the personal information of awakened people is sensitive, it is not disclosed to regular employees like us.

He didn’t seem like the type of person to help anyone.

Surprisingly, two employees who seemed to have been saved by him were restlessly standing next to him.

“Fuck shit. “I should have just gone. Damn you…” The

market manager was continuously spouting curses.

He seemed to deeply regret having done such an unbecoming good thing.

The two people standing next to him seemed to be unable to speak properly due to guilt.

Instead, he spoke to us who were relatively easygoing.

“Are you Deputy Director Shin Se-hyun? We sat at the same table during the workshop before… This is assistant manager Kim Cheol-soo. This is employee Seo Min-soo.”

“Yes, this is Deputy Director Shin of Team 2. This is Assistant Manager Kim Soo-hyun and employee Moa Son.”

As he bowed his head and introduced himself, it felt as if he had just gone out to work. As he bowed his

head, assistant manager Kim Cheol-soo smiled.

“Ah, it’s nice to meet you. It’s not just an empty word, it’s really nice to meet you.”

I was the same.

I don’t know how happy I was just to meet someone in such a dark situation.

But the market manager just looked at us with an expression that he didn’t want to get involved in.

“Good to see you. Do you want to say goodbye before you go to the afterlife?”

Everyone fell silent.

After looking around at the people, he took a deep breath and continued,

“As you can see, I can’t fight anymore. We couldn’t get the magic stone, so we’re all going to die. We’ve come this far in life with great talent, but now it’s all over. “Hey, if you want to live a little longer, you’d better leave here right now.”

“Why?”

“No head? Can’t you see it from here? They’ve started a fight, so they’ll hear the sound and come in droves right away. Or maybe someone stronger will come.”

Assistant Manager Kim’s face turned white.

While we were coming here, the sound of a chungwangryu came from behind us.

They weren’t chasing us.

They were coming here to eliminate the market manager.

“I don’t know if you have any escape stones or recovery items. please?”

“If there is one, I already wrote it. “I’m coming here to work to buy an escape seat. Do you think there will be one?”

Manager Kim was not very discouraged, perhaps because he had asked with very little expectations.

“Let’s go, manager.”

When employee Seo Min-su tried to help the market manager up, he irritatedly shook his hand away.

“Say it a few times. Just throw it away and go. It’s bleeding like this. You know Hansel and Gretel? My blood is like a piece of bread. “These guys can smell blood very well.”

“Still…”

“Oh, go! I can not hear you? Do you want to lose everything? “Get out now!”

After his shout, everyone was silent.

Employee Seo Min-soo and Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo seemed to have no intention of leaving.

Well, even if I leave here, there is almost no chance of surviving.

If you take this awakened person with you and move, you will have a higher chance of survival.

“We have to go together. “If we go alone, we’ll all die anyway.”

I said that and reached out to the market manager along with employee Seo Min-soo.

I was thinking of helping with the support.

The manager looked at me with a bewildered look on his face and closed his eyes, probably thinking that everything would happen as it should.

Then, with a start, I opened my eyes and looked towards the doorway.

“Put it down for a moment. “Put me down.”

He, who had been listening quietly, suddenly let out a double curse.

I think I heard something because their abilities are much higher than ours.

“Damn it, let’s do that a long time ago. It’s already too late. If you leave now, everyone will die. Ha really. “Why aren’t you going…”

he muttered, half in tears.

In fact, I had already had an ominous feeling from the moment I arrived here. When I

saw the market manager injured and when I heard Chungwangryu’s footsteps in the passageway.

The ominous feeling did not go away.

I felt a faint vibration, and then something entered the doorway.

It was a monster with a very hard-looking exterior.

It seemed smaller than I thought.

And it seemed a bit dull.

The moment I thought that, the monster was folding. He straightened up.

Then, in an instant, he grew four times as tall and was looking down at us.

It was like looking down from a lighthouse. There

was no point in hiding behind a rock like this.

“C-class Chrysanthemum. …”

The market manager muttered in a hoarse voice as if he were dying.

His face was full of despair.

Mantis-like forelimbs and two jaws like a saw stag beetle.

The body is elongated upward like an insect.

It was so big that I didn’t even feel like I had to fight.

It looks ten times bigger than any elephant.

Are awakened hunters fighting something like this? really?

When this situation came up, I actually became calm.

I walked around here all the time, prepared to die, and when it finally happened, I felt like something was coming.

No, honestly, I feel like I’m already dead.

If I had known this would happen, I would have bought a healing potion instead of just looking for an escape stone.

Then I would have fed it to the market manager.

But I didn’t have much time.

“Krrr.”

A C-class chrysanthemum that discovered us let out a low cry.

No, why are you crying even though it’s a bug?

If you do well, I will bark. uh?

I really want to cry.

Why are you crying so scary?

The monster slowly opened its mouth.

No, in reality, it may have opened up quickly.

All of these moments just felt infinitely slow.

Are you dying? like this? Are you really going to die?

Even when the wedge finally came out of its mouth, I couldn’t move.

Wow, I thought you would spit, but you spit thorns out of your mouth.

“stick!”

The market manager shouted something like a scream and stretched out one hand.

At the same time, a translucent energy appeared in front and took the form of a shield.

Then came the shocking shock.

The wedge pierced halfway through the defense shield.

If the defense shield had been a little weak, our bodies would have been pierced.

As the shield that blocked that single attack disintegrated and scattered, the market manager vomited blood.

When I looked back, my blood-soaked face turned pale. It’s almost purple.

“once. Because we can stop it one more time. In the meantime, try your best to run away. “If you jump through that bastard’s crotch, one or two of you might be able to escape.”

Although he looked like a living corpse, the market manager managed to speak.

Even though he said so, it was a method with little chance of success.

The moment everyone was prepared to die, the monster that was about to open its mouth for a second attack froze and froze.

“what? “Why is it like that?”

About 10 seconds.

The monster froze and did nothing.

Are you trying to play with it and kill it?

The moment he thought that, countless holes suddenly opened in his body and the bastard was crushed to pieces.

What happened?

Why did he die?

Did this market manager do something?

Everyone looked at the market manager at the same time, but he quickly shook his head.

Didn’t do anything? Then why did he die?

A voice flew out of the darkness and pierced through everyone’s doubts.

“Are there any survivors?”

A person who came in with black energy pulsating throughout his body.

Seo Ji-han ranked first.

I can’t believe it.

I blinked several times, wondering if I was seeing something.

The others seemed to be the same, unable to keep their mouths shut.

Everyone seemed at a loss for words at the appearance of an unexpected person.

“Seo Ji-han… right?”

Seo Ji-han, who was walking towards us, just nodded when he heard someone stuttering a question.

After seeing that chin gesture, it finally felt real.

lived Now I live.

A sigh of relief came out.

The deputy manager, assistant manager Kim, and even the market manager were all unable to hide their joy.

Finally, this hellish time is over.

“I thought it would take a week for a rescue team to be formed…”

I completely agree with what Deputy Kim said.

It seems like it’s been a long time since I came in because I was wandering around inside, but in fact, less than half a day has passed since the dungeon opened.

This is enough . As soon as they heard the news about the new dungeon, it must be said that they immediately prepared to enter.

In fact, it is almost impossible.

It’s not like I’m looking for pork belly lightning on a Friday night.

‘A new dungeon has opened, who wants to go?’ It’s not like recruiting like this and saying, ‘It’s me, me’ and when the hunters raise their hands, ‘Okay then , take the escape seat and meet me at exit 3 of Gangnam Station.

‘

Since there are no hunters willing to actively participate in high-risk dungeons, they will only move their heavy hips after coaxing them and promising compensation. By the way, where have the other

members of the rescue team gone and is that person the only one here?

Did the conductor have the same doubts as me ? See.

“I don’t think it’s a rescue team. I don’t see any other hunters other than that guy.”

“You have a good eye for attention.”

Seo Ji-han answered indifferently and threw something at the conductor.

“Use this and let the rest take care of itself.”

The rest of the day?
