– Han Kain
Person: Han Kain (Knowledge)
Date: Day 37
Present Location: Flooring 1, Room 107 (Gate Room)
Sage’s Recommendation: 3
The crackling sound of the hearth within the fire started to fill the room.
Everybody, who had been transferring frantically, started to take a seat down and relaxation.
“Kain.”
“Grandpa?”
“Doesn’t the state of affairs inform us something?”
“Not but. We adopted the directions to enter the cabin, however no additional particulars have appeared.”
Ahri, who was leaning in opposition to me, answered.
“If you consider it like a film, it looks as if the appropriate time hasn’t come but.”
The fitting time… Does that imply one thing is about to start out quickly?
Ahri sighed as if disillusioned.
“Ah~ I managed to collect 5 weapons on the practice! And 4 badges. However all of them vanished.”
Within the First Trial, the “Doppelgänger Prepare”, all our objects besides our Inheritance have been duplicated.
The fakes acquired not solely the gun but additionally our badge, pen, glove, and so forth. Ahri had collected these one after the other. Sadly, when the First Trial ended, all of the duplicated objects disappeared.
“That gun was one thing you acquired after buying and selling an arm and a leg. It was handled as a treasured merchandise, so it was unlikely they’d allow you to duplicate it so simply.”
“That’s true. Anyway, because it’s known as ‘The Witch’s Forest’, I suppose a witch will seem?”
“Most definitely.”
Songee, who had been listening, chimed in.
“Do we’ve got to kill the witch?”
“Nicely, I feel we must always observe my ‘State of affairs Comprehension’ to keep away from making any errors.”
“I’m hungry, ought to we discover one thing to eat?”
With these phrases, Eunsol-noona stood up and headed to the kitchen.
At that second, an alert appeared.
From now till the tip of the Second Trial, the participant’s Inheritance will likely be sealed.
Within the First Trial, our Blessings have been sealed, and within the Second Trial, our Inheritances have been sealed.
Will the restrictions alternate from trial to trial?
Because the alert appeared, “State of affairs Comprehension” started to flash once more.
Now it’s beginning.
State of affairs: Gate Room – ‘The Witch’s Forest’
Whereas resting within the suspicious cabin, the occasion opened cabinets and drawers in search of one thing to eat.
They found ominous traces inside! The occasion sensed hazard, nevertheless it was already too late.
The witch is approaching the cabin. Can the occasion survive the witch’s risk?
Examine the subsequent half at midnight.
“…???”
What the–
“Kyaaaaa!”
A piercing scream erupted from the kitchen!
All of us turned to have a look at the kitchen, the place Eunsol-noona was trembling, nonetheless holding the cabinet open.
Grandpa Mooksung rushed over to test the environment.
“Rattling it! Eunsol, get out of there!”
A burst of cursing instantly adopted.
What the hell is it?
“What’s it?”
“This cabin’s proprietor is a loopy cannibal. Each container is filled with human corpses!”
I pressured myself to face up and look, then shortly turned my head away.
The clear containers have been full of human eyes, and numerous components of human our bodies have been scattered all over the place.
Simply as everybody was getting chills from the revelation of the “witch”, the beasts contained in the forest began howling.
-Woof! Woof!
-Awooo!
Even with out the Blessing of Affinity, I may perceive the which means of those cries with out it.
It’s a cry of terror!
The beasts have been signaling one another to flee from the approaching monster.
Within the dreadful environment, everybody began transferring frantically.
Jinchul-hyung was nonetheless unconscious.
We couldn’t escape the cabin.
So we needed to maintain our floor right here.
With out even trying on the witch, he pulled the set off.
-Bang! Bang!
What luck!
With out even trying, he miraculously shot a number of of the witch’s eyes.
Can any creature stand up to having its eyes blown out?
-Screech!
With a scream that shook all the cabin, the witch began retreating.
“…”
Everybody collapsed to the ground, dazed.
Time-wise, it was 20 minutes or so?
It was a short battle, nevertheless it felt prefer it drained our spirits.
What an outrageous monster.
“Is it over?” Eunsol-noona muttered blankly.
Grandpa Mooksung was skeptical.
“How may it’s? A monster like that may absolutely regenerate its eyes and are available again!”
“How does the Administration deal with such monsters?”
“It’s easy. They normally herald a helicopter and shoot it with a machine gun, then fireplace rockets or missiles.”
“What? Helicopters?”
“Did you assume we’d sprinkle holy water and pray? It’s the twenty first century! Machine weapons are higher than holy water, and missiles are even higher than machine weapons. Within the twenty first century, the largest enemies of monsters aren’t clergymen however helicopters and tanks. Though tanks can’t enter forests like this, so we’d have to make use of helicopters.”
“…That’s an enchanting story, however we don’t have a helicopter proper now.”
“Certainly. I don’t know the way they anticipate us to deal with a monster that even the Administration wants navy gear for…”
I felt completely drained.
Even a veteran who had spent his life searching monsters felt helpless with out navy gear like helicopters or tanks in opposition to such a monster.
How can we defeat such a monster with out our Inheritance?
Ahri stood up and began speaking.
“One thing’s off. We’ve damaged by means of many Cursed Rooms, however it is a first.”
“What do you imply?”
“This Resort usually focuses on fixing puzzles somewhat than brute drive. Out of the blue throwing an amazing monster at us and saying, ‘Beat it with power,’ isn’t their fashion!”
Everybody nodded.
Proper.
The Resort wouldn’t immediately make us battle a ridiculously sturdy monster with out some other approach out.
There have to be one other approach.
Everybody received up and began looking out the cabin for clues.
***
We re-entered the kitchen we had fled from earlier.
Meals produced from human components crammed the house.
Small glass jars have been full of what regarded like pickled human eyes, and hanging from the ceiling have been sausages clearly produced from human meat.
Amongst these have been some really artistic dishes.
“Why the hell does this freak do that with human our bodies?”
Whereas sighing and wandering round, I felt a way of unease for the primary time.
“…”
How did the witch look once we noticed it earlier?
It was a grotesque monster.
Its limbs have been haphazardly twisted with a number of extensions, and its physique was coated with spike-like eyes.
Even whereas crawling, it appeared about 3 meters tall.
How large would it not be standing on two legs?
Might such a big creature enter this modest-sized cabin?
Even when it did, may it even transfer correctly?
Moreover, may a creature with such a twisted physique make these “meals”?
I instantly known as my comrades and shared my ideas.
Ahri nodded.
“It is smart. This cabin isn’t large enough for such a monster, and it couldn’t have made these meals with that physique.”
Grandpa Mooksung added.
“Can it rework right into a human kind?”
I answered instantly.
“I feel that’s the important thing. Preventing that monster is not the reply regardless of how I take a look at it. Now we have to discover a method to change it into its human kind to kill it.”
“That jogs my memory of one thing.”
“What’s it?”
“The state of affairs you talked about. Didn’t it say to test the subsequent half at midnight? Possibly there’s some change at /genesisforsaken
