Server 1157

The black-robed guy had succeeded in killing Kamaitachi…

But the battle was not over because the other two enemies were still alive.

.

.

.

The Manticores began to growl, lowering their heads to the ground, and taking up an attacking position.

"SS...TOPP!!!" The guy stood up to the Manticores, raising his left hand, stopping the tension for a moment.

The manticores continued to growl but did not attack.

"He...h...as...died....You...do...n...not...need...to..." Turning his back on the manticores, he walked over to Kamaitachi's corpse, crouched down, and punched the monster's left pupil hard.

.

.

.

"What the hell is he doing!" The man next to Hina and the others couldn't make sense of the scene they were watching.

.

.

.

After punching his arm halfway into the monster's eyeball, digging its eyeballs pus, he stuck his hand out again. Without wiping his pus-covered arm, he returned to the Manricores and thrust his arm over their mouth. "Tt...ake...these..."

Manticore was nervous but made no offensive move. On the contrary, it opened its mouth slowly and the man placed the elegant-looking bottles of red liquid in his mouth.

.

.

.

"Oh My God! Wasn't that!!!?"

"Yes, Lady. They are... Athena's Blood!" Answering Hina's bewildered question, the man himself could not understand what had happened. Athena's Blood was one of the rarest elements in the Erghon game and was an inventory item that players consumed to upgrade their characters, not monsters.

.

.

.

The Manticores snarled one last time, but this time in a conciliatory tone rather than a threatening one. And then they flew and disappeared into the sky...

.

.

.

"Who... are you?" The man next to Hina asked the black-robed man curiously.

"..." But the man continued to stand in silence with his back to them.

"Where did the others go?" Hina asked, turning her head towards the three survivors of the crowd who had just fled.

But the black-robbed guy, who quickly turned his head towards her, intervened. "Oo…th…er.s?"

Hina replied, startled by the man's sudden reaction. "Well… There were some other guys like us and they escaped."

"WW…WH…ERE!!!?" The black-robed man's brows furrowed and his voice rose.

"They ran in that direction." One of the females from the other trio answered.

As soon as the black-robed man saw the woman's hand sign, he started running in that direction at high speed without listening to the rest of her sentence.

"LET'S STICK THAT GUY!!!" Hina shouted at the others and they all ran after him.

.

.

.

And only a minute later they saw the guy and slowed their pace.

Because the black-robed man stood motionless, looking a few meters ahead.

They also stopped and looked in that direction and saw the terrifying scene.

"OF!... GOD, HELP US!!!" Hina and the others had their eyelids wide open, their pupils very constricted by the horror they saw.

The bodies of more than ten people who had just run away from them were swimming in a pool of blood in a slightly hollow area.

Moreover, their bodies were completely dismembered. Their arms, legs, and heads were completely severed from their bodies. However, this fragmentation did not look like it had been made by the teeth of a monster or animal. The ruptured areas were as straight as if they had been cut with a very flat object… Like… A sword.

And just beyond the pit, a woman in magnificent yellow armor was bent over her knees, watching the pool of blood.

"HEY, WHO ARE YOU!!!" The man who had woken Hina called out. When he looked carefully, he saw that the armored woman had a sword in her hand. "YOU!!! DID YOU…" But he could not complete his sentence.

"N…no!" The black-robed man pointed a finger at her sword as if telling him to look more carefully.

The woman's sword gleamed cleanly. There wasn't a drop of blood on it.

"I couldn't make it in time…" With a sad tone, the woman got up from her crouch and looked toward them. There was a teardrop on her chin that had not yet fallen to the ground. In fact, she had also come to help them, but she was too late.

"W…wh…o….?" The black-robed man wanted to know the identity of the murderer.

The woman nodded her head as if to say "I don't know" with absent-minded eyes to the black-robed man who asked her the question. And then she came to them with heavy steps. "How have you been…?"

The black-robed man stared at her with dead eyes without answering.

"You say as usual." The woman had a bitter smile on her face. "And who are you?" She then looked at the large group of people with her eyebrows furrowed.

"We? We are a group of innocent people who have found ourselves in this terrible jungle."

"This is bullshit! It's not normal for new players to spawn in the Throne jungle!"

"Throne jungle!? Then this is…?"

"Yes, you are in damn Erghon Game! Unfortunately, this cursed game brings people who are addicted to this deadly world. What is your name?"

"Hina! My name is Hina…"

"Hina? This is your player game?"

"Yes. Hina of GBR Alliance… And my real name is also the same."

"Please do not use your real names in this World. Just tell people only your account and alliance name."

"WHAT!!! YOU ARE HINA! IS THIS A JOKE!?" The man standing next to her shouted angrily.

She didn't like that the man who woke him up reacted with anger. Because, as in every game, there were players who were hostile to each other. So it was clear that this man was one of her enemies in the game.

"YES, I AM. DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT!?"

"DAMN. I SHOULDN'T HAVE WOKEN YOU UP AND LEFT YOU THERE TO DIE!!!"

"FCK OFF! I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT DON'T GIVE A SHT! AS IF I NEED YOUR HELP!"

"And you?" The young woman continued to ask, ignoring the sudden quarrel.

"I am…PapaBear… PapaBear of the WAR Alliance!"

"SO WHAT!? WE DO NOT HAVE ANY GRUDGE AGAINST EACH OTHER IN THE GAME!!!"

"FOR THE ALLIANCES, YES. BUT I ALWAYS HAVE AN ANTHIPATHY AGAINST YOUR ALLIANCE!"

"THEN THAT IS YOUR DAMN PROBLEM, NOT MINE!!!"

"Please, stop this…" The woman in the yellow knight armor pleaded softly and turned her head to the others. She repeated the same question with her eyes without speaking.

"I am Miha of the BRE Alliance." The girl who spoke for the first time then looked at Hina. "I am so happy to see you, dear Hina" She had a smile on her face.

"Me too, my lovely Miha." Hina had calmed down and she was also looking at her with a warm smile.

"I think it is my turn." The other female of the trio stepped forward. "I am Ruby of the XJX Alliance."

"Kisperia of the WTV Alliance" The last member of the trio also started walking, but in the opposite direction of Hina. "I have no hostility towards anyone, but I would not prefer to be on the same side as the WAR Alliance." He stood beside PapaBear.

"Damn your hostility!" And the last male member of the group, who has never spoken before, gave a tense presentation. This person was also the young man standing in front of Kamaitachi trying to give them time to escape. "Don't you realize what kind of hell we've been brought to!? Look at those poor guys' corpses!!! Perhaps some of them were even closer friends than the people standing next to you right now. Damn, these people had families, do not you have a heart!!!?" He rubbed his cheekbones for a moment, bringing his hands to his face to calm himself. "Well, whatever… I am Canosfer. The leader of the RES Alliance."

There was a dead silence now.

This group of 6 people, who had been brought here against their will by an unknown power, began to examine the black-robed man.

"I think they want to know your identity." The woman in the knight outfit spoke.

"I…a…m…a…N…NPC…"

"WHAT!?" All the members of the group were surprised because there was no NPC fighting against monsters in this game.

And the woman in the yellow armor was also looking at him suspiciously, but he didn't say anything else.

"Well…" The armored woman turned her head towards the group, keeping her eyes on the black-robbed guy. "I am…" And then she turned her eyes to these strangers. "Lighty of ONI" Suddenly, tears filled her eyes. "I'm really sorry that you were brought to such a hell but…" And then these tears started to flow from her eyes one after another. "Still, I'm glad you didn't leave us alone in this hell…"

The thing is, these people were not strangers to this woman who seemed to be a native of this bloody World. She was actually one of the poor victims of this horrible phone game…
