Chapter 18: I Take Refuge (Namu) (1) (2/2)
“I see…” Shakira didn’t continue
Looking at the helpless Ru Hiana, Zelit jerked his head toward the seer “I have a question”
“Yes, go on”
“One of the recruits e ca after glancing at Ru Hiana “Even though we ca at full alert Even then, the being that took our co”
“Help him!” Ru Hiana quickly rushed up to the old seer as soon as Ru A onto the heh I have an idea of what you’re talking about, please listen to what I have to say first,” Shakira consoled Ru Hiana and continued, “Please tell ’s characteristic or appearance, or at least their color”
Zelit frowned at Shakira’s words “…None”
“Hmm?”
“We don’t know” Zelit scratched his head “We didn’t see who it was No, it’s more accurate to say we couldn’t see who it was The only thing we felt was an evil energy that was enough tosound”
“Yep You don’t kno surprised we all hen that good-looking bro suddenly went flying away” When Eval Sevaru, who had been quietly listening, added in his few cents, Shakira’s body froze The captain also frowned, and the others—they see themselves
“…I’ll ask oneand reaffirmed, “Did you really not see their face?”
“Yep Since it was so dark, maybe we simply couldn’t see them properly”
“If it was because you weren’t able to see and not because you couldn’t see…” Shakira’s words faded into silence at the end, and she slightly shook her head and let out a long sigh Ru Hiana looked as if she was about to cry; Shakira’s attitude was very telling
“Could you tell us any infor is fine”
At Zelit’s question, Shakira paused for a bit and slowly opened her ments of a crazy Goddess”
“A crazy Goddess?”
“Yes They’re strange monsters created by the curse of Goddess Elephthalia, as in charge of Liber Those beings are alive but not really alive, and they cannot die…”
“What the hell is she talking about?” Eval Sevaru quietly murmured to himself
“Undead?” asked Zelit
Shakira slowly shook her head “If it’s just that, multiple factions should’ve been able to take care of the s are so vicious that they even eat the undeads, and it’s difficult to even describe what they really are”
Monsters that ate iht about a heavy silence
“Then…are you saying that there’s no way to save hied instead of me I need to save Ruahu whatever it takes”
“…”
“Please…no eous it is, please tell me a way I can save him…” Ru Hiana desperately pleaded To Ru Hiana’s despair, however, Shakira maintained her silence
Chi-Woo looked at Ru Hiana with pity before shi+fting his gaze back to his hologra his user information
3 [Choi Chi-Woo]’s ability
->Basic
[Beginner] Blunt Ability [1]
->Inherent ability
[Innate] Spirit Eye
[Fated] Sainchaum [2]
[Weakened] Deux Ex Machina
‘What the heck is this?’
Chi-Woo was startled when he saw his inherent ability He could understand why he was a beginner in his blunt ability as he had only ever swung around clubs and hadn’t properly learned how to use it But…
[Innate] Spirit Eye
—Supernatural eyes Ability to see and discern beings spiritually
[Fated] Sainchaum
—With the influence of this ability, one is born with the Sainchaum
The Spirit Eye part at least made some sense to Chi-Woo, since he had experience with it, but…
[Fated] Sainchauum is believed to ward off evil spirits and stop disasters; this belief has then been shaped into an ‘ability’
—With the influence of soement, this sas born on a very specific date
—You show an absolute advantage and pohen fighting with ghosts
Chi-Woo had no idea what this was
[Weakened] Deus Ex Machina
—The sudden appearance of a God This is the only means for Gods to intervene in the causal flow of the World Depending on the God’s behavior, it twists the cause of events and even changes predetermined results in the future
—One can’t try to obtain this ability or be allowed to possess it This ability falls under an inforher level Only those who are chosen are born with it according to certain laws
—Most of the functions in this ability have been lost, but they were transferred and partially recovered in conjunction with the inherent ability [???] ??? It occurs randoradation in function
‘What is this about? There’s question marks here as well’ Chi-Woo was about to say ‘what the heck are these h it seemed like it would be a treet a clear idea of what it was Rather than being stuck on so he didn’t know, Chi-Woo clicked on number four

“…” Chi-Woo let out a hu just in case and scanned his surroundings, but he couldn’t see even a trace of the strange book he got
‘Really, it’s no joke’ He didn’t know anything about the will of the World He had thought the systeht cora so much infors into two ories The first are those who became insane under the curse; the second are those who becaging the from what Chi-Woo heard Shakira say “Those who became crazy from the curse are the ones I told you about earlier; they’re alive, but not really alive They’re beings who have lost their sense of reason, leaving them with only a crave for flesh And they sometimes mutate and evolve”
“Crave for…flesh?”
“However, those ere broken by the curse and were eaten up are different,” Shakira continued “They have the sas, but they don’t have physical substance”
“Physical substance? Do they not have a body?”
“Yes Even if the physical body is unable to endure the curse and breaks, it’s still not over The curse reaches even the soul and corrupts it That’s e describe them as broken and eaten up,” At Zelit’s question, Shakira quietly continued “I’m sure that the one you met is most definitely the broken ones because we can’t see them with human eyes” Her words were firm
“Then…” Ru Hiana’s face became pale “Ruahu is…”
“Those who are broken obsessively hate and desire to eat those who are alive,” Shakira spoke with pity “They don’t recklessly rush towards living beings like the crazy ones They cause harm and stir trouble in extraordinary ways”
‘Theyharm and chaos’ Chi-Woo nodded unconsciously Shakira’s explanation gave hieneral idea of what they were
“Those who becaerous, but we’re still able to defeat them if they’re less evolved However, those who are broken and eaten up…we can’t converse with they, weapon, or divinity works on the her head low like there was no hope “I’m sorry that I couldn’t be of help”
Ru Hiana collapsed to the floor as she lost all strength in her legs
“The inforave you are speculations we cah so far…” Shakira’s attempt to comfort her didn’t reach Ru Hiana She still looked co still We’ve tried countless different ies However, our reality is that we couldn’t even make an accurate definition of them, let alone come up with an effective response”
If they had found a way, they would have definitely done so before the situation turned out like this
“Juk” It was at that moment Chi-Woo suddenly spoke up “It sounds like a juk”
