Episode 117. escape
While running, Baekjun urgently shouted to the employees through the microphone connected to his earphones.
“Kim Jin-seong is running away to the east! Chase everyone!”
At those words, everyone who could move among the employees spread out in all directions began running towards the east at once.
But it was already too late.
Because of the Inkrushio phenomenon, everyone had fled to the end of the island, so most of them were far away from Kim Jin-seong.
Above all, it was largely because Kim Jin-seong was discovered too late due to the aftermath of the explosion.
By the time Baekjun gave the order, Kim Jinseong had already reached the eastern shore.
“Raise the shield level to maximum!”
Baekjun shouted to the employees again in an urgent voice.
Then, the urgent voice of the employee in charge of managing the shield was immediately heard.
– Yes, CEO! The control device has broken down due to the explosion earlier, so it won’t work!
“what?! Holy shit… !”
Baekjun gritted his teeth.
No wonder the shield control device broke down in this situation!
It was already visible that the protective shield had been weakened by the previous explosion.
Even if the shield was in good condition, I’m not sure if it would be able to stop Kim Jin-seong, but it was obvious that if it was weaker than that, it would definitely break through.
At that time, Yong Han-gil’s sharp shout was heard from behind.
“Hunters in the eastern vicinity, listen!”
Perhaps because it contained mana, Yong Han-gil’s voice was enough to reverberate throughout the island.
“Stop Kim Jin-seong by any means necessary! If they resist even the slightest, shoot them dead!”
“… … !”
Baekjun flinched at Yong Han-gil’s last words.
However, no further objections could be raised. This was because he knew that the time to insist on capturing him alive was past.
Snapping.
It only injected more mana into my running legs as I gritted my teeth.
* * *
Team leader Hong Yeon-seok, who happened to be on the eastern beach, heard Yong Han-gil’s voice and nodded and turned around.
And then he shouted to those around him.
“Everyone ready to kill Kim Jin-seong!”
In the first place, Hong Yeon-seok had no intention of capturing Kim Jin-seong alive.
This was because I knew very well that at Kim Jin-seong’s current level, it would not be easy to catch him even if everyone here poured their all into it.
Above all, Kim Jin-seong was a target for elimination for the Daehan Clan in the first place. Rather, there is no reason to keep him alive.
“The opponent is someone who has overcome the rift of emptiness and illusion! “Never let down your guard!”
That’s when Hong Yeon-seok made a new request to the hunters around him.
Kim Jin-seong finally appeared before their eyes.
Hong Yeon-seok shouted as if he had been waiting.
“Hold your seat! “Keeping them from escaping is the top priority!”
When Hong Yeon-seok was ready to attack, Kim Jin-seong suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, gray smoke instantly covered the surrounding area.
‘… … !’
Hong Yeon-seok looked around with wide eyes as if he couldn’t believe it.
It was because the gray smoke in front of him was so familiar to his eyes.
‘This… . Fog of illusion?!’
It was clearly the same gray smoke as the illusionary fog I saw on the Colosseum broadcast a while ago.
“Hurry up and get out of the smoke… !”
Hong Yeon-seok, who realized who it was, immediately tried to shout to avoid it, but it was already too late.
Cough!
“Tsk… !”
Immediately, a polluter attacked from among the gray smoke.
Hong Yeon-seok reflexively raises his sword to block.
Starting with that, various polluters burst out from the gray smoke and began to rush towards Hong Yeon-seok.
They were all people that Hong Yeon-seok had personally killed in the New World.
‘This is a big deal! ‘I’m already trapped!’
Hong Yeon-seok bit his lip as he continued to defend against the polluters’ attacks.
‘If you do this, Kim Jin-seong will run away!’
It was as he expected.
Kim Jin-seong, who trapped all the surrounding hunters, including Hong Yeon-seok, in a fog of illusion, immediately jumped over them and ran towards the sea.
And then there was the huge mana shield we faced.
It was Kim Jin-seong, whom I had already seen once on the island where the preliminaries were held.
Kim Jin-seong rushed straight towards the shield without any hesitation.
Then, he swung both hands, which had transformed into large scythes.
Puff!
The two-handed sickle attack in the state of Shinma unity created a large hole in the shield with just one hit.
It was large enough for one person to pass by.
Kim Jin-seong finally escaped through the hole.
▶ I used the skill ‘Creature Transformation’.
▶ Transformed into a ‘Black Hasid’.

▷ Ability value change: Agility value increased by 20%.
Kim Jin-seong flies high in the sky after transforming into the man-eating bird Black Hasid.
That wasn’t the end.
▶ Use the skill ‘Clone Art’.
▶ Use the skill ‘Clone Art’.
▶ Use the skill ‘Clone Art’.

.
He used all his remaining mana to create as many clones as possible.
Soon, more than ten man-eating birds began to scatter and fly in all directions.
If you watch from afar, you will never be able to tell which bird is the real Kim Jin-seong.
That was when we started moving away from Ambages Island.
“Where are you trying to run away!!”
Only then did Yong Han-gil reach the eastern beach and jump as high as he could into the sky.
Yong Han-gil, who had jumped to an incredible height in an instant, stretched out his hands forward.
Immediately, more than 10 huge mana spheres were created and began to fly towards the fleeing man-eating birds.
The scattered mana spheres flew after each man-eating bird one by one.
The man-eating birds circled around to evade the mana sphere, but in the end, they were unable to shake it off and were all hit.
Puff puff puff!
Huge explosions exploded one after another in the air.
At the same time, the man-eating birds fall helplessly to the ground.
“… … !”
At that time, Yong Han-gil’s eyes shook greatly. He discovered something strange on the sea.
This was the entrance to ‘Warp Hole’, a skill that Jinseong Kim used in the Demon Dungeon.
And a falling man-eating bird fell into it.
“Damn it!!”
Yong Han-gil let out a cry full of anger.
In the end, Kim Jin-seong was missed.
Unable to overcome his momentary anger, he swung his fist as hard as he could towards the beach in front.
Pow!
With the sound of a water explosion, a huge hole was instantly created in the sea and then disappeared.
Afterwards, Yong Han-gil, who was still trembling as if his anger had not subsided, soon looked back.
The sight of the Daehan Clan hunters and staff, including Baekjun, who arrived late, caught his eye.
“Baekjun!”
Yong Han-gil looked at Baek Jun with an expression full of anger.
“Before Colosseum Survival even ended, the survivor ran away!”
“… … .”
“Answer me! “How do we deal with contestants who run away during the competition?”
Baekjun answered with a stern expression.
“He will immediately be treated as a level 1 criminal, and a wanted order will be issued throughout Korea and the New World.”
After hearing the answer, Yong Han-gil this time turned to Hong Yeon-seok.
“Contact the New World and tell them to put Kim Jin-seong on the level 1 wanted list!”
“All right.”
“Excluding the existing security forces, the remaining personnel prepare to return immediately!”
Yong Han-gil began to lead the Daehan Clan hunters towards the airfield as if he had nothing else to do.
Baekjun, who had been silently watching their backs, soon turned to Jang Seungwook.
“Contact the PD in your home country and tell them that Kim Jin-seong ran away during the finals. “I will contact the Hunter Department directly.”
“… yes.”
Jang Seung-wook answers in a weak voice. The faces of the employees, including him, were all filled with despair.
Baekjun gave instructions to those employees.
“Except for the injured, everyone will return to their original positions. more.”
The sight of Jang Seung-wook and his employees helplessly turning around and starting to walk after hearing Baek-jun’s words.
When they completely disappeared from sight, Baekjun fell down helplessly in his place.
Afterwards, he covered his face with both hands.
‘… ‘This is the worst result.’
Kim Jin-seong, the best star and talented person in season 12.
His grand plan to use him as the best prospect representing Korea was ruined in an instant.
Rather, by becoming a first-class criminal, he ended up creating new troublesome problems for the government and the Daehan Clan.
But there was one fact that was most heartbreaking.
‘With this, the first escapee from the Colosseum was born.’
Over the course of numerous seasons, not a single contestant escaped the Colosseum.
This is a big reason why the vicious program that pits awakened people who committed heinous crimes against each other has been able to be aired.
So the production team was able to continue drawing the picture as they wanted, which directly led to Colosseum’s high viewership ratings.
However, eventually the first escapee occurred.
‘Yoo Jun-ho, who was selected as the best prospect, couldn’t escape in the end… .’
Baekjun, overcome with frustration, was unable to move for a long time as he held his face.
Baek Jun, the representative of the Colosseum. If you ask him about the worst moment of his life, he will definitely say now.
* * *
In the middle of the sea, very far east of Ambage Island.
Jinseong Kim appeared through the warp hole exit created there.
“Ugh… !”
He was in great pain as he was floating in the air thanks to the ‘Mana Controller’ trait.
My physical condition was not good.
The left arm and left ankle had been completely cut off, and there were large wounds exposing the bones here and there.
It was the price of being hit head-on by Yonghangil’s mana sphere.
‘I’m glad it wasn’t fatal… .’
Thinking that he was really lucky, Jinseong Kim immediately used his recovery skill.
Serious wounds began to heal quickly.
‘Let’s run further away quickly because they might chase us.’
Jinseong Kim immediately created another warp hole, made an exit at the end of the largest street on the east side, and went inside.
After repeating this movement several times, Kim Jin-seong transformed into a man-eating bird again and flew up into the sky.
‘I won’t be able to chase you at this rate.’
His current location was on a beach more than a thousand kilometers east of Ambages Island.
Kim Jin-seong decided that it would be difficult to find him here even if he chased him with all his might.
Only then did I sigh and remember the situation from a little while ago.
‘Certainly, if it weren’t for the Inklucio phenomenon, it would have been difficult to escape.’
Inkrusio was the method explained by Dantillion.
The story was that if demons invaded Middle Earth, the guardians of Heaven would appear and stop them.
The method suggested by Dantillion was to use the aftermath of the explosion to escape.
[If Inkrusio occurs, all humans on the island will suffer a great blow. Use that time to get off the island.]
And it really turned out like Dantillion’s plan.
Immediately after the huge explosion caused by Inklucio, Kim Jin-seong ran straight out of the exit and ran away, and as a result, he succeeded in escaping as he is now.
‘I’m definitely indebted to Dantillion this time.’
At this point, I thought we could stay together for a while.
I don’t know if he helped Jinseong Kim because he didn’t want to be taken away by another demon, but it was true that it was a great help anyway.
‘Anyway, I guess I’ve now become a level 1 criminal in Korea and the New World.’
Even before the first round of the Colosseum preliminaries started, there was something I heard from the staff every time that made my ears tingle.
If you run away before the Colosseum season ends, you will immediately become a level 1 criminal and be wanted in Korea.
And it was said that Korea’s Daehan Clan in the New World would also participate in the search.
‘Then I can’t go back to Korea anymore. There are two options left… .’
There were two options before me.
One is to go to a country other than Korea.
Another was to enter the New World.
‘… First, let’s go to the New Continent. ‘It’s not too late to go to another country even after failing to adapt to the new continent.’
Currently, Kim Jin-seong was somewhat confident.
This was because the experience in the Demon World Dungeon, which was the final round, was not as difficult as I thought.
Above all, Kim Jin-seong currently had a reliable assistant named Dantillion.
At least within the Demon Dungeon, I was confident that I could overcome anything with Dantillion.
It was then.
Quang!
A loud explosion was suddenly heard from the beach ahead.
