Chapter 33 – Messiah(3)

Lee Jin Sung, he was a cruel man
On top of that, he had a strong ability and a powerful relic that amplified his means for cruelty
'What’s going on with master'
'We’ll die if we’re late'
Lee Jin Sung had awoken to strong abilities without knowing he would, so for those other awakened who only awakened to E rank abilities, they didn’t dare go against him
But at the same time, he was a symbol of hope
'fuck, if anything ever happens to master······'
'Without master, we’re done for'
It was because Lee Jin Sun was their strongest force against monsters
He was their best chance at killing the yellow-eyed snake demon that they had been forced to offer sacrifices to
In this world, sacrifices were a necessary evil, especially with the appearance of the yellow-eyed demon
That hy Lee Jin Sung nalers who didn’t know the truth Furthermore, since he had doether with this weather, none of the sacrifices would dare to escape and run out in the blizzard, and would instead choose to stay in the market
”We’ve arrived!”
”Turn on the flashlights! Flashlights!”
Soon, the eleven people who had arrived at the large superhts in front of them
The first thing they sahen they turned on their flashlights were the bodies
”Euk!”
”damn it, what the hell······”
They were the corpses of the ordinary renade’s blast radius
As opposed to monster corpses, these bodies exuded a different kind of terror than the kinds that the awakened of Messiah had seen in the past
'G, guns, were they shot by guns?'
'Were they hit with a bomb? But where would there be a bomb?'
The awakened stiffened
Still stunned, a few courageoustheir way towards the led bodies
”Huk!”
A head that would destroy a e
It was Lee Jin Sung’s head, his body nowhere in sight
The light frohts reflected off the hairless head
'Im, impossible'
They couldn’t even scream, they were speechless
”Drop your flashlights and get on your knees with your hands up”
A voice suddenly came out from the darkness
”Wh, who is it?”
”Where did that voice come from?”
Even after what the voice said, nobody kneeled Instead, everyone was turning their heads, trying to find out where the voice had come from
Tang!
A gunshot quickly caught their attention
”Euuahk!”
A ht shi+ning all over the place
”M, ······”
”Don’t make me repeat myself”
The voice spoke again a of the
'Crazy······'
'The flashlights are giving away our positions!'
The quick witted ones put their flashlights on the floor and raised their hands up, i on their knees
Then, like doot on the floor
Kim Tae Hoon appeared before them
He had completely hidden his body in the dark Even his clothes consisted of a black jumper
Because of that and the fact that the flashlights were on the floor, it was impossible for them to see him clearly
It wasthis way
They could only use their iinations to fill in what they couldn’t see
In this situation, they couldn’t be i pleasant
To the eleven awakened, Kian to speak once more
”You have two choices You can turn around and leave, or you can joinunder my command”
Hearing his proposal, all of them trembled
'A hunting dog?'
It had become clear to them that their opponent wasn’t a kindhearted hero of justice
”I aroup Messiah is So it would be better to disregard any notion of being treated like a human”
The awakened treain
He knehat kind of group Messiah was He knew that they had been sacrificing a mountain of people to a monster
They all knehat itsacrifices
Even if the circumstancesyour fellow man as human, then you needed to be prepared to be treated the same
This entire tith had overshadowed this fact, but now that they were the weaker party, they knew [TN: We had eyes, but could not see Mt Tai]
'damn it'
Faced with that reality, they could only s any sighs or regret
'This is the end of the road'
Soan to use their heads
”C, can we really just leave, just like this?”
A man asked
”If you don’t want to serve under me”
Kim Tae Hoon answered immediately
”I, I······ I will leave I’ll live my live quietly”
Having given his answer, the man rose from his spot
TheYeon Seok
'I at least need to get out of this place If I stay under that ainst the monsters like a consumable’
He was in charge of the group in department store across the supermarket that kept watch over the people from the ere to be sacrificed
Simply put, an executive
As a result, he knew Messiah better than any of the others here
'I’ll just go back to the city hall and join the group there before thinking of what to do next That should be my priority for now If I stay here there’ll be neither porridge nor rice' [TN: There’s no point in staying here]
Messiah had been in the process of spreading its influence around the Bucheon City Hall
They secured food by occupying large markets, captured or sed up survivors that approached city hall, and had scouted out the territory of exceptionally strongthem sacrifices to keep them placated
'Anyways, there are twenty awakened who arepreparations there'
It was only natural that the number of awakened that Messiah had been able to recruit was not small
There were about eighty of them!
Many of them were on standby in the city hall The city hall contained the most amount of sacrifices
Additionally, there were ht for Messiah
If they didn’t want to become the next sacrifice, they had to be on the same side
So it was only natural for him to think that it was safer to join theure
”R, really? Is it ok to leave?”
Chang Yeon Seok asked again while hiding his schemes
”If you don’t want to serve me”
Kiave a clear answer
”Th, thank you”
With that, Chang Yeon Seok turned his back He didn’t
'Is he really willing to just let o?'
Although he asked hi afoot
Chang Yeon Seok walked towards the way he came
Tang!
A bullet lodged itself in his back
”Keuhuk!”
Letting out a short cry, Chang Yeon Seok collapsed onto the floor and began to convulse War onto the floor
