level difference
Once again, Quagmire’s huge body flew toward Pungbitgaram with great elasticity, like a giant bouncy ball.
At a glance, it was a speed that could not be avoided with the current Poongbitgaram agility value.
“Tsk!”
Pungbitgaram let out a low groan and transformed into smoke once again.
A huge green lump crashed into his place as if he had disappeared.
thud!
The wall caved in with a heavy sound. At the same time, a boiling and melting sound was heard.
Chi-i-ik…!
Pungbitgaram was appalled when he saw the solid concrete wall melting away.
‘It’s a deadly poison that melts at the touch of a touch…!’
At that level of toxicity, a human’s bones would melt away just by touching it.
Pungbitgaram wanted to counterattack somehow and inflict damage, but there was no way.
puck!
This was because they were in a hurry to avoid the attacks of another Quagmire that continued to fly.
‘If I do this, I’ll run out of mana before I can run away… huh?’
As he was checking his remaining MP levels, Poongbitgaram felt something ominous on his left.
Pungbitgaram’s face crumpled as he quickly turned his head.
‘shit! ‘Again?’
At the end of the passage on the left, another Quagmire was approaching at high speed along the sewer waterway.
If one more animal were to join in a situation where two animals were so overwhelmed, then it seemed like there was really no hope.
‘I can’t do this. I tried to save some mana just in case…’
Biting his lip, Pungbitgaram’s body turned into smoke again and dispersed.
But this time it was a little different.
It wasn’t just about transforming into smoke and moving around.
The smoke that arose from the place of the disappeared Pungbitgaram quickly spread out and engulfed the Quagmires.
Quagmire, who seemed to be trapped in smoke, swung his fists in all directions.
At that time, a thunderous sound echoed throughout the sewer.
Crumbling!
At the same time, a blindingly bright light flashed.
The lightning generated within the smoke struck the three Quagmires.
The Quagmires’ entire bodies begin to tremble with the sound of being electrocuted by high voltage.
Taking advantage of the gap, Poongbitgaram returned to his human form and began sprinting towards the exit.
‘This should have bought me enough time to escape!’
Pungbitgaram quickly turned the corner of the sewer. Even then, the three Quagmires were unconscious from electric shock.
Afterwards, Pungbitgaram, who continued running towards the stairs, was just entering the passage where the stairs were.
“······!”
I widened my eyes at the familiar face appearing across from me.
“Pungbitgaram? “Why are you here…?”
As expected, thief number 10 asks with surprised eyes.
Pungbitgaram shouted in surprise.
“You were alive?!”
“yes! “I hid for a moment to avoid being attacked by a walking slime monster!”
“But why are you replying via communication… Wow?!”
Before speaking, Pungbitgaram turned around and took a vain breath.
While they were talking for a moment, a Quagmire that had followed right behind them ran towards them again.
‘Has the electric shock gone already?!’
Although inwardly shocked, Pungbitgaram reflexively used the skill.
He transformed into smoke at just the right moment and was barely able to avoid Quagmire’s headbutt attack.
However, it was not the thief number 10 who was right next to him.
puck!
“Whoops…!”
Thief number 10, trapped between the wall and Quagmire’s body, groaned and vomited blood from his mouth.
and,
Cheeeeeek…!
“Aaaaa!!”
Thief number 10 lets out a tearing scream along with a melting sound.
Pungbitgaram was startled when he saw the skin on his entire body quickly melting away.
“Hi!”
Then, leaving Number 10 writhing in pain, he turned around and started running towards the stairs alone.
Thief number 10 held out his hand with a desperate expression towards the disappearing Pungbitgaram.
“Say…know…ryeo…!”
Wow!
At that time, the sound of something being cut rang sharply.
Pungbitgaram’s eyes widened as he reflexively turned his head back.
Quagmire’s body, which was weighing down Thief No. 10’s entire body, was split in half.
A familiar face appeared in the field of view of thief number 10, who fell to the floor.

It was none other than Kim Jin-seong.
“…is it playing?”
Jinseong Kim looked down at Quagmire’s body and said to himself.
Quagmire’s body, which had been cut in half, was restored to its original state in just a few seconds.
The problem is that the other half played the same way.
“Increasing to two?”
Kim Jin-seong looks at the two Quagmires with an absurd expression.
Cutting it in two with a sword wasn’t as difficult as I thought, but multiplying like this was a different problem.
‘If this is the case, using a sword is actually a loss.’
Kim Jin-seong immediately put the sword into the sheath on his waist.
At the same time, I turned my body slightly to the side.
The bodies of the two Quagmires flew almost past each other and crashed into the wall behind them! thud! A crashing sound was heard.
There was someone who was astonished as they watched it.
It was Pungbitgaram, with his face peeking out from the stairs.
‘You can avoid that so easily?’
This was because he couldn’t even think of avoiding it, so he had to use his mana to keep turning into smoke.
But the surprising scene was just beginning.
Jinseong Kim, who dodged the attack, immediately created two huge black spheres in his palms and flew them towards the two Quagmires.
With a sound, Quagmire exploded into pieces of mucous membrane, scattering them everywhere.
When Pungbitgaram saw that, his eyes widened to the point where they couldn’t get any bigger.
‘You exploded that monster with just one shot…?!’
Even with the combined attack of ‘Smoke Magic Circle’ and ‘Lightning’, which can be considered his special moves, all it did was electrocute him for a few seconds.
However, Kim Jin-seong was overwhelming Quagmire without any major movements.
At that moment, Pungbitgaram’s eyes as he looked at Jinseong Kim gradually began to shake and become tinged with fear.
‘I was trying to turn that person into an enemy earlier?’
I felt a ray of cold sweat running down my back.
If I hadn’t bowed my head right away, I wouldn’t have been able to last even an hour, let alone 24 hours, and would have gone straight to the Nether Road.
“…I won’t die even if I do this…?”
At that time, Jinseong Kim stuck his tongue out and said something.
His eyes were fixed on the little green goo that was gathering towards the sewer water.
The lumpy mucous membranes were once again taking on the shape of Quagmire.
‘It’s even multiplying again.’
Kim Jin-seong shook his head at the sight of Quagmire, which had now increased to four.
“First of all, see you guys later.”
Kim Jin-seong picked up the fallen thief number 10 and started running toward the stairs.
Naturally, the eyes of Pungbitgaram and Kim Jinseong, who were watching the scene, met.
“······!”
Jinseong Kim shouted at Pungbitgaram, who flinched without realizing it.
“Go up to the third basement level!”
Then, in an instant, he passed by Pungbitgaram and started running up.
In the eyes of Pungbitgaram, who was standing there as if frozen, the Quagmires that had been following Kim Jin-seong came in.
‘Hi!’
Pungbitgaram said, “Save me, step by step,” and ran after Kim Jin-seong.
It was at that time that the Quagmires were about to enter the stairs.
puck!
A black curtain suddenly appeared and blocked Quagmire, causing a heavy crashing sound to be heard from behind the curtain.
While the Quagmires continued to strike to destroy the black curtain, Kim Jin-seong and Pungbitgaram were able to safely move deep into the third floor underground.
“This is enough.”
Kim Jin-seong stopped walking and put down thief number 10. Pungbitgaram, who was following, said with an anxious expression.
“Uh, shouldn’t we go a little further inside?”
“This person will die before then. “While I heal with the potion, keep an eye out for nearby monsters.”
Kim Jin-seong quickly took out the HP potion from his pocket and sprayed the potion liquid all over the 10th thief’s entire body.
Kim Jin-seong, who used two potions in succession, began to examine symptom number 10.
But he shook his head with a stern face.
“···late. “My brain and heart melted.”
Even though I poured two buckets of HP potion, the recovery rate of my body was very slow.
Jinseong Kim looked down at the vitality in his eyes that was disappearing at a rapid pace.
Having witnessed the last moments of countless children in the incinerator, I was certain that thief number 10 was on the verge of death.
“If only I had used my subspace skills well, I would have survived…”
“Subspace…?”
Pungbitgaram, who did not understand Kim Jin-seong’s words, asked back.
Jinseong Kim answered without taking his eyes off number 10.
“This person had the ability to hide in subspace. “Even in group C of the preliminary round, he always showed his ability to escape from danger with this ability.”
“ah···.”
“The reason you didn’t answer when I asked you via communication earlier is probably because you were hiding in subspace.”
If the dimension changes, wireless communication in reality will naturally not work. This is basic common sense that even elementary school students these days know.
“I roughly remembered that the time limit was about 10 minutes. So, if I had just gotten inside, I could have saved him without fail…”
Kim Jin-seong took his eyes off number 10 and looked up at Pungbitgaram.
If only this person had followed my instructions straight away.
So, if I had informed Jinseong Kim of Quagmire’s existence sooner.
I might have arrived here a little faster. If so, the situation in which thief number 10 was attacked could have been prevented.
“······?”
However, Pungbitgaram, who had no idea what Kim Jin-seong was thinking, looked at Kim Jin-seong with a puzzled face.
Seeing that, Kim Jin-seong shook his head and then looked at thief number 10 again.
“···My tongue and vocal cords have melted, so I can’t even make a will.”
Kim Jin-seong, who checked the inside of the hideously melted mouth, pulled out his sword and placed the tip of the sword on his forehead.
“We will let you go comfortably so you don’t suffer any more.”
Jinseong Kim lightly struck with his sword.
Kim Jin-seong’s sword was deeply embedded in the forehead of thief number 10.
At that time, a new notification window appeared before Kim Jin-seong’s eyes.
▶ You have defeated the wicked.
▶ Obtained 45 Vis Creama points.
▶ Acquired the opponent’s characteristic, ‘Subspace Ability.’
▷ Subspace ability: Creates subspace. Subspace has the following characteristics.
– The sub-space becomes wider as the user’s level increases.
– You can stay there for up to 10 minutes at a time, and after 10 minutes you are automatically kicked out of subspace.
– There is a cooldown of one hour after use until it can be used again.
– Subspace is basically maintained in a vacuum state. The vacuum state is user-controlled, and the user has no influence over the internal state of subspace.
* * *
[Ah, Kim Jin-seong personally ended the life of Kim Ji-myeong, the thief number 10!]
[If this is the case, it won’t be recognized as having been caught by the tagger, right?]
Caster nodded.
[That’s right! To be recognized, you must at least indirectly participate in the kill, so with the death of thief number 10, there are no people who passed the preliminary round that the taggers obtained!]
[If this happens, it becomes impossible for all 240 people to pass the preliminaries.]
* * *
“Have you by any chance gained subspace abilities?”
While reading the notification window, Kim Jin-seong turned his head once again when he heard Pungbitgaram’s voice from behind.
Kim Jin-seong looked at Kim Jin-seong with cold eyes, and Poongbitgaram had an expression of ‘What’s wrong?’
Kim Jin-seong, who gently closed his eyes and opened them, began communicating with his earphones.
“Answer number 7 or 8.”
[yes.]
[yes!]
“A group of dangerous monsters were discovered in the sewers. So, for safety reasons, we will cancel the underground search for now. Everyone, please come up to the first floor.”
[All right.]
[Confirm.]
Jinseong Kim gave simple instructions and spoke to Pungbitgaram.
“You go up too. And when you meet number 7 or number 8, tell number 7 to scout at 3 o’clock and for number 8 to scout at 9 o’clock.”
“Then I…”
Kim Jin-seong continued speaking.
“You can scout by going in the 12 o’clock direction. It will be easier if you follow the direction the monster corpse falls.”
“···All right. “What about Jinseong?”
Pungbitgaram asked.
Kim Jin-seong answered, pointing towards the stairs.
“I will deal with the monsters below. “Do you have any more questions?”
“······.”
“Go up.”
At Kim Jin-seong’s order to congratulate the guests, Pungbitgaram turned his back and started moving towards the stairs with his mouth shut.
Only after confirming through ‘location detection’ that he had completely ascended to the first floor did Kim Jin-seong pack his luggage and begin to go back down toward the sewer.
“…He’s the type you shouldn’t keep around for long.”
Jinseong Kim came down the stairs while muttering to himself.
He removed the black curtain he had created.
Then, the Quagmires waiting nearby all turned their heads toward Kim Jin-seong.
“How should we deal with these guys…”
Jinseong Kim muttered as he swept the Quagmires aside.
* * *
The scene of Kim Jin-seong confronting Quagmire again was being broadcast live on TV all over the world.
– Oh, it sticks.
– It’s Kim Jin-seong, of course! I thought you wouldn’t avoid it!
– I’m already looking forward to it!
– Wow, I’m shaking ㄷㄱㄷㄱ
– Yes, I ordered chicken knowing it would be like this.
The chat speed in the official Internet broadcast chat room suddenly began to speed up,
[Ah, the commentator’s prediction was correct! Kim Jin-seong has returned to the sewer alone again!]
[I thought Kim Jin-seong, who has a stronger will to win than anyone else, would definitely come back, but my prediction turned out to be correct.]
The commentators also began to increase tension in preparation for the upcoming battle. As a result, the tone of my voice naturally rose.
The staff in the monitor room also became busier.
“Make sure all cameras in the sewer focus on Kim Jin-seong! “You can’t miss even a single scene!”
“Is there someone from iTube? Get ready to upload the full, unedited video of the live broadcast right away!”
“The viewer ratings are going up! Our program’s Bokdong has started doing something else~!”
Baekjun, who was watching the scene from behind, asked Jang Seungwook next to him.
“What do you think? “You’ve seen more training room videos in the past month.”
Recently, Baek Jun has been busy with external activities, such as visiting the General Government Complex, so naturally, Jang Seung-wook was in charge of internal management.
Jang Seung-wook answered confidently.
“You can’t win.”
