Chapter 20 (2/2)

And then there was Yoo Su-jeong. She was holding a dagger in both hands. The third ranked person wasn't strong, but she was fast. She didn't lose her vigilance and aimed for the vulnerable parts such as the back and underbelly. The movements of the third and seventh ranked were certainly different.

I looked at the last person. Lee Min-ju's brother, Lee Sang-hoon. The 185th ranked person was watching the claws with a frightened expression. I watched him for a while before shouting. “Stop!” Everyone instantly looked at me and stopped their actions.

[The level of a talent has risen.]

[Leaders.h.i.+p. Lv 2. 5/200]

They listened well. Frankly, I hadn't expected this much. There were three lizardmen remaining. They knew they had been defeated and were on the edge of the peak.

“I'm going to test something.” I said as I went forward. I moved in front of the lizardmen without even raising my guard. It was a type of taunt.

”Shayak!” The two lizardmen in front rushed forward in unison. At the same time, my arms moved. I felt relaxed. I slightly moved my back foot and lowered my waist and head. The claws narrowly pa.s.sed in front of my nose. Then my left hand and right hand moved.

One.

Peok!

Two.

Bakak!

Thanks to Limiter Release, my fists moved neatly. Two bodies were torn and fell down. Although I couldn't read the lizardmen's faces, the remaining one seemed quite scared. It turned its body towards a cliff. It wanted to get away by climbing up the wall.

Deopsseok.

I took three steps forward and grabbed its neck. I squeezed with all my power and lifted it with one hand. Then I threw it down.

”Siak!” I turned off Limiter Release and looked at the lizardman on the floor, then the five people behind me. There was amazement in their eyes. In particular, the higher the rank, the greater the degree of their discomfort.

I had ended three monsters in a single moment. Kwak Yu-han had been the fastest and he took longer to kill just one. It was a clear, unspoken message: they would die if they tried to eat me.

The plan to kill all of them had been pushed back. For the moment, this would be a challenge to raise my leaders.h.i.+p. If so, I needed to make one thing clear. I wasn't the leader, but I was the strongest.

I grabbed the neck of the fallen lizardman. As mentioned earlier, there was something I wanted to test.

”Look.”

With that one word, I threw the lizardman over the peak. The lizardman fell into the darkness with a reptilian scream. Everyone waited for the leeches to catch it, but the leeches didn't appear.

“Everybody saw that, right?” I opened my mouth and explained. “Leeches like 'warm blood' so dropping a lizardman with 'cold blood' is no use.”

”&h.e.l.lip; But what does that mean?” Kim Ha-jong asked with confusion.

”So&h.e.l.lip; Is there a reason to care?”

”Perhaps.” I pointed to the other side with my finger.The six pairs of eyes gazed in that direction.I had seen it when coming down the stairs.

They saw the peaks below us. To be exact, they saw next peak we were going to, which had another staircase leading down. The staircase wasn't leading down to another peak, rather it ended as it entered the darkness.

”It is too optimistic to think that is going to the 7th floor.”However, it meant they had to literally go down into the darkness. Leeches would be inside that darkness.

“I am just guessing, but walking into the darkness is probably walking into the leeches' stomachs. Since the darkness is their secretions&h.e.l.lip;” They would aim for the hot-blooded organisms. They were leeches that liked humans.

I pointed to the other evidence to support it. There were two staircases leading down to the next peak. Not just us, but a staircase from another peak led down there.

The peak on the other side. On top of it, there were seven silent figures.

This was a crazy feeding game.
