Chapter 10
At this moment, Yoo Sangah shouted, "Dokja-ssi! Behind you!"
I reflexively leaned forward as a bloody fist came flying through the air . It was a familiar fist covered with energy . I felt something falling towards me and instinctively kicked out . I didn't need to look back to know what was behind me .
A 9th grade human type, demonic person . Human mutants infected with black ether . That's why demonic people were classified as a high-risk species, despite being 9th grade . Demonic people made from a normal human base were no different from zombies, but it was particularly dangerous if their hosts were different .
I saw the badge of the school student with a damaged head .
"…Kim Namwoon . "
The guy whose head burst a few minutes ago was now aiming for me as a demonic person . Kim Namwoon's vocal cords that burst out were in a bizarre shape .
"Kuweeeoooh . "
[Exclusive skill, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Lv . 1 has been activated!]
[This person doesn't have any consciousness . The skill Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint will be cancelled . ]
Damn, it was as expected . My thigh was scratched by Kim Namwoon's overgrown black fingernails . A pain that felt like a burn spread through my leg . The skin which hadn't been cut by a knife was now torn by fingernails . This was the main reason why demonic people were dangerous . The demonic people became several times stronger than when they were human .
"Yoo Sangah-ssi, immediately―" I felt something as I spoke . Without looking back, I could see what was going on .
"Let me go! Let go! Dokja-ssi! Dokja-ssi!"
Han Myungoh, who had just been limping, was carrying Yoo Sangah over one shoulder and moving across the bridge at an astonishing rate .
[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' admires how easy you are to trick . ]
[The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' is impressed with your sacrifice . ]
[100 coins have been sponsored . ]
…Indeed . Planning to leave me? By the way, the way he was running was a little strange . Despite being on one leg, he was running as fast as an Olympic athlete . This couldn't be the exclusive skill of Han Myungoh, who had a big belly . Therefore, it must be the stigma of his sponsor .
I already knew the constellation who provided that stigma . It was the One-legged Swift Horse . I used Character List on the distant Han Myungoh .
[The information of this person can't be read in 'Character List . ']
Once again, Character List didn't work properly . If I remembered correctly, the stigma of 'One-legged Swift Horse' came from the constellation Lame Trickster . Lame Trickster didn't give any stigmas in the mental barrier system . In addition, Han Myungoh couldn't possess such a skill from the beginning . In other words, my skill failed not because of Han Myungoh's ability .
…I was stupid . I looked at the message window floating in front of me and laughed .
[This person isn't registered in 'Character List . ']
I was thinking too hard when it meant literally that . Character List literally read the information of characters . Yoo Sangah and Han Myungoh were characters who didn't originally appear in Ways of Survival . They were people who would've died if I hadn't saved them . It was natural that I couldn't confirm their information with Character List .
"Gruk! Gruk! Gruk!"
On one side, the incoming Kim Namwoon and demonic people were jabbering nonsense at me . On the other side, Han Myungoh was already halfway across the bridge . Lee Hyunsung and Lee Gilyoung had already entered the safety zone across the bridge so I couldn't ask for help from them .
This was truly a predicament . I couldn't cross the bridge alone . My brain moved quickly . Should I capture one of the demonic people and cross the bridge? It was worth trying, but the success rate was too low . Unlike the name, the demonic people were categorized as non-human, meaning they didn't count as a person .
"Kuaaaack!"
Several demonic people lost their balance and fell down the bridge . The fallen demonic people became the food of the ichthyosaur . Like a piranha, the ichthyosaur broke the demonic people into dozens of pieces in an instant . Distant fear came flooding back in .
If the number of people on the bridge became 'odd' for even a moment, I would be like them . It was impossible to cross alone . Then?
"…Let's take it slow . " I muttered as I attempted to control myself . Right now, I needed to remain calm . There were still a few usable methods, but the important thing was to handle matters in front of me . I controlled my breathing and walked to the demonic people .
"Kuweeok?"
Fortunately, it wasn't difficult to make them fall down the bridge using inertia . I reduced their numbers by making them fall steadily . The dokkaebi's stopwatch floating in the air was blinking . The time remaining before the scenario ended was 15 minutes .
"Sigh…"
Nails flew from a blind spot and pierced my shoulder bone . No matter how calm my mind, no matter how much information I knew, I couldn't help my untrained body .
"Kuwoooook!" The wild Kim Namwoon's attacks were becoming increasingly faster .
Left shoulder .
The right thigh .
The top of the head .
I had to break the flow . I barely avoided the flying fingernails and kicked his legs .
"Kyah?"
This person lost all senses and wasn't hurt at all . I stepped back, hitting a broken steel frame . I could hear the raging sound of the ichthyosaur at the bottom of the pillars .
[A few constellations are rejoicing in your adversity . ]
[The constellations have sponsored you 200 coins . ]
It was a steady accumulation of coins . Now I held 5,000 coins . It was a significant number of coins for the beginning .
[Wow, you are quite good at surviving . Now now! Will any constellations help this poor friend?] It was the dokkaebi's merchant-like voice .
I wanted to tear it apart .
[Geez, there is really nobody?]
Of course . It would be strange for a constellation to support me after what happened during the Sponsor Selection .
[What did I say? You should've chosen well when you had the chance . How pitiful . ]
Kim Namwoon attacked me again and again, resulting in damage to my waist . Of course, I also injured Kim Namwoon's left side with the knife . Thanks to that, his stomach was hanging out like a skipping rope . In order to kill a demonic person, I had to completely destroy the heart . However, the skin of a demonic person was hardest near the heart . The Swiss Army knife wasn't able to pierce it with sharpness alone .
