Teams probably started with four members each.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet there were already at least three Blood Battle teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that most would’ve chosen Invasion or Preservation, the total number of participants must have reached the dozens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The average survival rate is only 26%, and this many people still came in…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo spoke with disbelief, Gehika—who had been watching the rear—glanced his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Anyone who enters this place is strong to begin with. Though you are especially abnormal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was recalling how Yeongwoo had instantly dealt with the other two team members during team formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Still, you need to be careful.

They were right nearby?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Good. Saves us the trouble of searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invading team also had two members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a massive golem made entirely of steel, and the other was a mantis wielding two long curved blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Huh? Free points just rolled in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo muttered while turning around, the steel golem pressed a hand against the wall, its lips twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Who ends up turning into points is yet to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, the mantis hurled both of its curved blades at Yeongwoo and Gehika.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Die…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screeeeeech!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an attack of terrifying speed, befitting an invasion team—but to Yeongwoo’s eyes, it looked sluggish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re beneath my standards too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the mantis widened its eyes, Yeongwoo casually knocked aside the blade flying at him, while Gehika barely managed to duck out of the way of the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the stark difference in their reactions, the steel golem pointed at Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—That one’s the leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kill the strongest first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golem clenched the hand it had placed against the wall—and at the same moment, sharp steel spikes erupted from the wall near Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KWAANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What—what is this?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard by the unfamiliar attack, Yeongwoo hurriedly raised Aratubank to block.

His arms are still intact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mantis’s command, the steel golem clenched its fist against the wall again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, massive steel fingers burst from the nearby wall and lunged toward Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRUNCH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they couldn’t hurt him, they’d restrain his movement instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that strategy was meaningless against Yeongwoo, who wielded a weapon that could slice through anything short of a Myth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s an incredibly annoying ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding Bastard, Yeongwoo spun his body and severed all the steel fingers trying to grab him in one sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KWAJAK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he smashed the mantis’s head with the edge of Aratubank as it lunged in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PPEOOOK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small inverted—triangle head burst apart like a watermelon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the steel golem quickly pulled its hand away from the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—W—what… what are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hastily stepped backward and placed its hand on the floor this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive steel wall rose up in the center of the room, blocking Yeongwoo’s pursuit path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? It’s already running?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo spoke, he glanced at Gehika, who had collapsed onto the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True to his lizardman nature, the wound in Gehika’s arm was slowly closing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo immediately swung Bastard and split the steel wall apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KWAAAAANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sit there and recover. I’ll go finish that guy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo peeked through the cracked wall, he saw the steel golem—just about to pass through a doorway—wear a terrified expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Eek!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slapped a hand against the doorway, sealing the exit with another steel wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plan was to keep blocking passages while escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time, it was basically leaving behind a clear trail of its escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Yeongwoo, it just meant following the steel—sealed exits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Did fear make its brain freeze?

Running won’t change anything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—S—someone help me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Momentarily forgetting the dungeon’s rules, the golem screamed for help in all directions as it fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sigh, Yeongwoo summoned Sword Mountain above the golem’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator - Night]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader - Gun]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he dragged this out any longer, other teams might really show up and turn everything into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KWAAAAAAANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless blades rained down onto the golem’s escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its arm and shoulder were severed cleanly by Sword Mountain, and the golem rolled on the floor, screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Here! Over here! Anyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was desperately hoping for another team to interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for it, no one appeared before Yeongwoo stepped into the room where the golem lay fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess there aren’t any other teams nearby. What a shame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there were, they’d have just been more points for Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo lowered Bastard toward the steel golem clutching its severed shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No hard feelings, right? You were an invasion team. This is what happens when a position choice fails.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Yeongwoo’s words, the golem grit its teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—At this rate, you won’t last long either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you hadn’t run this far, I wouldn’t have had to go wild like this. How far did you even run?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like they’d passed through at least ten rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And during that time, they hadn’t encountered another team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This dungeon really is huge.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Yeongwoo raised his blade to strike the golem’s neck, one of the arrows in his vision suddenly tilted sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant the target was extremely close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Gehika’s urgent voice rang out from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—They’re here! They’re here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Blood Battle…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gehika couldn’t even finish the phrase—it was that urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him was the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A three—eyed swordsman was chasing Gehika at terrifying speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of Gehika’s arms had already been severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d tried to face the three—eyed warrior head—on while Yeongwoo was chasing the golem—and lost an arm in a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—He’s… insanely strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gehika stumbled into the room and collapsed, the steel golem lying on the floor let out a wicked grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—This is the end for you too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo quietly drove Bastard into the back of the golem’s neck and muttered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s something you don’t know yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rising to his feet, he faced the three—eyed warrior who had entered the room after Gehika.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three—eyed being let out a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—So you’re the last one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swordsman’s appearance was unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin was pale white, with a texture that looked almost like clay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hairless head was shaped like a pentagon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Another species I’ve never seen before.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo marveled at the vastness of the universe, the three—eyed warrior raised a sword shaped like a collarbone and pointed it at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sssk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—No need for introductions, right?

You’re right. Introductions are pointless. Let’s finish this quickly before things get messy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant Yeongwoo spoke, one of the three—eyed warrior’s eyes flashed crimson, and he lunged forward with an incredible thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screeeeech!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed was too fast to react to via the hologram guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acting purely on reflex, Yeongwoo raised Aratubank to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiiiiiing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three—eyed warrior’s blade slid along Aratubank’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—You… what is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Yeongwoo still didn’t understand why the opponent was so surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it became Yeongwoo’s turn to attack, he immediately realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, surprised by my defense? Then die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo swung Bastard in retaliation, the three—eyed warrior’s other eye glowed blue, and he raised his sword to guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blocked the attack perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What?
