Chapter 18 (1/2)

Like Sungwoo said, trying to understand the situation only meant evading and culling. In the real world, there is no other way than to adapt to it. And she totally agreed with that.

“By the way, the playground is still in a chaotic situation…” she said, looking out the door.

Shouts and screams were still ringing from the playground about 200 meters away from them.

The fight was still going on, even after quite a long time passed.

“Can the guys from the student council win? Shouldn’t we go and help them this time?”

“Um.”

Sungwoo was not happy about the arrogance of the student council members, but he didn’t want them to be killed for that reason.

And now he realized that his fighting would not only save them but also give him a good chance to make it an easy game. He had already enjoyed the big gains by attacking the rear of the orcs that were caught off guard.

“Then let’s act carefully this time too.”

Sungwoo reached out to the orc’s body lying like a lump near the stop. Then, its flesh and intestines turned into ashes and disappeared, leaving only bones.

“Uh? What the heck is that?”

Kyungsoo’s party was just astonished to see what happened before their eyes. But they should not be surprised yet.

Soon the bone pieces were reassembled into weapons. With their jaws dropping, they looked at Sungwoo’s party.

“Oh, I think I know why you want to fight… Is it like a superpower?”

“It’s not that, well, I’m just like you, Kyongsu.”

“…Well, I don’t think so.”

Instead of replying, Sungwoo kept working on the bones. Now, the mana also grew, so he made dozens of weapons using the bone weapon manufacturing bone skills.

And the weapons were all daggers. More specifically, they were made for throwing purposes.

“Hanho, come on, take as many as you want.”

“Wow. I am full of miscellaneous blessings. Without this situation, I guess I would have to open up a junk shop.”

“Are you belittling a junk shop now?”

“Pardon? Oh, if you take it like that, let me take back what I said.”

Hanho and the skeletons picked up the bone daggers. It was verified several times that throwing a dagger did not mean landing a fatal blow, but it could create a decisive chance for Sungho’s party to attack.

“Sungwoo, are we going to display modern convenience again?” Hanho said while pointing at the truck. But he shook his head.

“This time, let’s drive a bigger vehicle.”

He turned and looked at the shuttle bus parked on one side of the stop.

Bang!

It wasn’t a missed soccer ball that hit the soccer goal post. It was a throwing axe that missed the target.

“Argh!”

The man who dodged the axe was running like crazy, screaming. A huge orc was following him.

The green playground was stained with blood. Looking at it from a distance, it looked like a festival, but actually it was the scene of slaughter. Humans running away and monsters hot on their trail… After all, they were caught up with the monsters’ axes stabbed into the back of their heads…

Dozens of survivors and dozens of orcs were entangled in the fight, creating a scene that was too horrible to watch.

“Brother, Ahh!”

Among them was a frightened Jisok who lifted his shield. Right after that, something hit the middle of the shield.

Tong!

“Ugh!” He stepped back awkwardly, groaning. His arms were tingling. It was not because the orc hit him with the axe — the orc barely poked him. Nonetheless, his arms almost felt numb.

“This is crazy…” He thought deep down, ‘Now we’re dead. We’re all going to die here. We can do nothing.’

“Ahhhhh!”

Daesung, who identified himself as the president of the student council and a Level 3, stabbed a bayonet into an orc’s chest. He was doing his best to fight back against the orc, but that was it.

“Come on guys, get together! Make a way for an escape!”

Although he declared that he would protect the students, he was now trying to find a way to run away when the situation was so tough to overcome.

“Daesung, lots of students are isolated in the stands!”

“Ignore them! Are you crazy enough to care about them? We have to find a way to get out of the playground right now! Jinsok! Hyungmin! You guys stand at the forefront because you have the shields.”
