Chapter 20 – Altar (6)

Hansoo, who was smoking on the cloud snack, opened his mouth while he looked at Sangjin.

Hansoo could vaguely guess.

If he had the thoughts of getting rid of him then he could’ve just pushed them in while he was busy fighting the beast.

By warning him with a shout from above and acting after the beast’s movements had slowed down.

Sangjin breathed in and out as he looked at Hansoo.

‘I want to follow Hansoo’

This had sprung up from three things: Longing, envy and a pursuit for safety.

But he thought he couldn’t be with Hans...o...b..cause he was weak and because of this he thought that he just needed to become stronger.

But whilst he was pondering over this, Suyeol had approached him.

That this was a trap in order to bring harm to Hansoo.

If they crossed the line he was going to beat them down.

And so he had thought that he could become like Hansoo.

Maybe not as much as Hans...o...b..t he thought that he could at least beat around 10 people.

But this was a very big misunderstanding.

He understood the moment he got surrounded by the ten people.

But he could not deject them here.

From the way they were talking it seemed like that they were going to go hit Hansoo from the back no matter what happened.

There were only two options.

Since he couldn’t die on that spot.

They had told him to try going to his friends but if he had turned around in that situation then he probably would’ve been stabbed from behind at that spot.

Sangjin thought of countless things whilst he walked.

The anxiousness of possibly dying had calmed down as he walked with the ten.

These guys were scared of Hansoo so they couldn’t act out in the front and had stayed behind him.

He had to look good in Hansoo’s eyes but if he couldn’t even take care of these ten guys what could he do.

And at the same time he, who had seemed very big, started to look smaller and something became clear to him.

‘There is no way that I can be with Hans...o...b.. becoming strong independently.’

And the thought of being approved after leading a large group was the same.

He realized after calming down and judging himself objectively.

No, it was likely that he will become even weaker by being near weaker people.

That jealousy or longing was something that he should have only when he had the leisure to.

If he acted arrogantly just because he got a little bit stronger and get attacked by a mob then he would just get killed.

He had to set somebody faster than him in front of him as the goal and chase them zealously.

When his thoughts had cleared up, one thing became clear.

He just had to catch up while he was still within his eyesight.

‘But how?’

He had to prove his worthiness in order to catch up to him.

‘Aha. This is it.’

Like a tiger which was scary to no extent but drops a very tempting skin upon death.

If they don’t die then they will bother him without giving up.

How he could get approved by Hansoo.

How he could help Hansoo.

“Hansoo. Use me”

Hansoo showed a conspicuous color as he gazed at Sangjin.

‘I’ve had the wrong thoughts until now’

Because he was misled by useless thoughts and emotions he didn’t realize the main point and thought that he just needed to become strong.

He and Hansoo had different goals from the start.

While he was looking out to survive day by day, Hansoo was running while looking at something in.

While they were struggling in order to survive and become stronger, he was acting with his personal rules.

He had to keep moving but he didn’t hurry and always followed the things he had to.

There was no such thing as being disabled here.

Even though it would’ve been more convenient to take their runes after killing them.

Though it would’ve been a piece of cake for Hansoo to just take the runes from them, he had given them the options.

Sangjin, who had pondered his actions for a while, realized it finally.

Though it would be of benefit to becoming stronger in the moment, he knew that it would bring harm to what he wanted to accomplish.

But once he figured this out, one thing became clear.

“I don’t know why you don’t kill people. But as I see it, it isn’t that you don’t kill them because you don’t want to kill them right?”

If he could do that much then killing was a piece of cake.

And by leaving them behind, it seemed like that he just needed to not dirty his hands.

Sangjin spoke as he looked at Hansoo.

Hansoo always acted with a clear goal.

And in that moment, he could do things instead of Hansoo.

Since he had already threw away his first chances, this was the only chance for him to be accepted by him.

Hansoo was special.

And out of those people, there will be guys which Hansoo would leave alone because of this personal rules and his goals.

He was willing to thoroughly erase those guys.

And for that he will become strong by following Hansoo around.

By helping Hansoo to run faster, he, who is also following Hansoo, would also become faster.

But this would be completed naturally if he stuck by Hansoo and helped him.

“Even if I say yes, what would you if it’s a situation where you cannot follow? For example getting pushed off forcefully”

He thought that he was being abandoned.

But his thoughts changed after seeing Hansoo who was smiling in amus.e.m.e.nt.

He didn’t know what but he head seen it with his psychic powers.

Sangjin clenched his teeth.

Hansoo laughed as he responded.

‘Dammit, is it not possible?’

“Kang Hansoo! Can’t a person can make a mistake once in awhile! I had to make a choose something I didn’t have a choice against because I was weak but I’m just starting! f.u.c.k just try using me! And if I’m still useless then you can leave me behind!”

He wasn’t enough until now and he wasn’t still enough.

‘f.u.c.k. Just once! Please!’

Hansoo threw down the cloud snack which he had finished smoking and then spoke whilst looking at Sangjin.

“Huh?”

Sangjin’s expression became bright at those words.

‘Hmm.. though it’s a little awkward’

Hansoo thought of what he and Eres talked about in the past.

Hansoo nodded at those words.

And because of Eres, there existed cleaners.

No, it was a necessity that every sovereign had even if they weren’t Eres.

And people who would help their owner head towards their goal.

‘I was actually going to Enbi Arin but… I will see first’

But it didn’t seem like much of a loss.

‘It’s very cheap if it’s just some runes and cloud snacks’

It didn’t work on the colorless runes so he couldn’t use it for that long.

When the second tutorial begins than everyone here would be forcibly separated around the second tutorial area and they would not know when they would meet again.

But investments were always something like this.

‘Well. If it fails then there’s nothing I can do about that’

Hansoo, after looking at Sangjin who was going down, started to regenerate his health.

Kudududk

Kuuuhhhh…

He had went hunting and had already experience him so he only needed to smoke six of them to kill it.

The floor was littered with the runes of the guys who had died yesterday but Hansoo didn’t even take a glance at them as he started to walk towards a corner of the Altar.

To kill the monster before it destroyed the Altar and jumped out.

Which meant that if you wanted to kill him you needed to kill it inside the Altar where his fears got amplified.

‘It’s seriously not something that was designed for somebody to kill’

And in the middle of the room there was a single artifact.

He wasn’t that disappointed, if he were to compare an artifact and a skill of the same quality then the artifact was more useful despite his trait.

‘Let’s see what they give’

And Hansoo’s face, which did not get shocked easily, started to tremble at a minute level.

Solo ranking <9>

‘Kw.a.n.g Goonju this guy. I wondered where he had obtained this…’

Hansoo sighed as he saw this.
