Chapter 5 - Punishment Field (2) (1/2)

This was a lawless zone where rules didn’t exist! There was only the punishment.

Cho Sang-jin flinched and took a step back.

“Wahh! W-wait a minute! L-let’s speak…”

Nonsense! What was needed other than a good fist?

Kang-jun grabbed Cho Sang-jin’s arm and bent back one of his fingers.

Wooduk!

Cho Sang-jin’s finger was broken.

“Kuaack!”

Brutal techniques that were never used in a real duel. Kang-jun had never used such terrible techniques until now.

Kang-jun continued to bend back Cho Sang-jin’s other fingers.

Wooduk! Ujijik!

“Kuaaak! Aaack! H-help me…”

He could hear the wailing screams but Kang-jun didn’t stop.

He started furiously punching Cho Sang-jin.

Peok peok peok –

He hadn’t exercised for a while but it was sufficient to crack Cho Sang-jin’s face.

Was it too harsh? Of course, it really was harsh.

But what about it? This wasn’t actually happening. It was only intended to cause fear. He had to strike terror in Cho Sang-jin. If he was scared then he wouldn’t bother Kang-jun any further.

‘Anyway, this is enough.’

He thought that ruining Cho Sang-jin’s face and spirit was enough punishment. But the information that appeared in his field of vision was different from expected.

[The target has not received enough punishment.]

[The field time left is 10 seconds.]

‘Eh?’

Cho Sang-jin was currently in a state just before death. Yet it still wasn’t enough punishment?

‘It wants more? Don’t tell me it wants me to kill him?’

No matter how bad they were, killing people? But he couldn’t hesitate. If Cho Sang-jin didn’t receive sufficient punishment then Kang-jun would be cursed.

‘I’m not really killing someone.’

Kang-jun clenched his teeth and stared at Cho Sang-jin.

Cho Sang-jin’s body was trembling from the pain. He could read the intentions in Kang-jun’s eyes.

“Ehhh! H-help me…”

But Kang-jun just threw a punch with all his strength at Cho Sang-jun’s head.

Kw.a.n.g!

Until now, he had just been hitting recklessly. But now it had power. His fist fell down like lightning.

And that was the end.

Cho Sang-jin’s body slumped down.

‘Phew.’

Kang-jun breathed out.

It was a terrible thing that he wouldn’t have committed in reality.

Killing people.

‘d.a.m.n! I am really glad this is a virtual s.p.a.ce.’

A punishment that required killing the target! It was a really terrible punishment.

[You have sufficiently punished Cho Sang-jin.]

[The field will shortly disappear.]

Susususu.

The surrounding s.p.a.ce started to distort.

[You have won the battle. However, the battle took place in the punishment field so you won’t get any experience.]

[If you want to obtain experience and become stronger then open the door to Hwanmong.]

‘The door to Hwanmong? Experience? Become stronger?’

The statement in front of Kang-jun disappeared again. Kang-jun realized what it meant quickly.

‘So it means I can raise my level?’

It meant that gaining experience could raise his level. It was absurd but Kang-jun already took it for granted that the black magic was like a game.

‘Level up!’

If so, that should be his priority.

He could level up like a game!

Suuk.

In the meantime, the punishment field faded and the original appearance returned.

The colourful nightlife of the city. And two people standing on the side of the street. They were Kang-jun and Cho Sang-jin.
