Chapter 20 Within the Darkness (Part 2)

“Do you re alht?”

“How could I forget”

“Do you re said back then?”

“Oh, the eyeball…”

I laugh and nod my head

“Yes, that He said it’s so anyone can do but not everyone has the nerve to do”

“Yes”

“Hye-su, you will eventually have to do it too You cannot be protected forever”

“…”

“I know it is scary I was terrified too I still am But try and cross that mountain Once you cross it, you will be better than anyone else Hye-su, you are capable of it”

I stand up froer

“I will be off now”

“Ah…!”

Lee Hye-su stood up quickly and tried to dissuade e

As I left the gorge and entered the forest, I put on my bullet pouch and rifle, and summoned Sylph

“Froet rid of all the noise I make”

-Meow

I take a step

Interestingly, the crunchy sound of stepping on grass was not made

‘Nice’

With this, I can easily avoid the 9 apes standing guard

“Guidethe awake apes as much as possible”

-Meow

Sylph signaled she understood and hopped ontothe ith her paalked in the direction uide instructed me to

I retrievedsummon time in real time

Getting rid of any noise was using her tier a noise I et rid of that noise

When I walk as softly as possible, the tiiven to me is about an hour And so that is why I told her to escape if I was not back within the hour

‘They will have a hard time without me Plain as day’

Not toa fire they will suffer I think tofor h

And Lee Hye-su

‘You are the only one that has protected me’

That I appeared righteous and brave to one woman makes me proud

Of course in her shoes, my help was crucial to her survival

But I don’t think she calculated for that and usedwoo?

Seeing as how she didn’t, Lee Hye-su is just a nice girl who grew up in a nice house, not wanting for anything

Honestly, I liked her theIt’s why I disliked Park Go-Chan evencare of her wasn’t completely empty of an ulterior motive for me

My insides boil at the thought that with one, Park Go-Chan may sexually harass her as he pleases

‘You think I’o back to living’

If I succeed in this task, I will havethis exam and will earn a lot of kar to Lee Hye-su

It is this doubleon

Of course, theis my life

I move carefully

Not long after entering the forest, I can see the red apes They were bunched together sleeping, here and there

With Sylph’s, help I weaved through the sleeping bastards and passed them

My skin shi+vers, having to go right past the sleeping bastards I feelstep and step on one, it’s the end for me

Then, Sylph taps me on the shoulder

‘What is it?’

As I look at her, she points to the left Fro about

I immediately lower my body and carefully move I hide my body behind the bushes and continue on

Sylph draws on my shoulder with her front paw

There is 50 meters left until the leader

40, 30, 20……

The distance gets shorter

At 15Sylph to quietly slit its throat is the best option but you never know, so I keep the gun loaded

Then, 9 meters

Hiding behind a thick tree, I look at the situation before me

‘Is it that?’

The red apes’ leader is a bastard with an incredible build His height looks si, and its muscles are intense He looks to be about three times as heavy as the other apes

‘I wonder if he’s a mutated one?’

It it’s this much, he must’ve been destined to be the leader since the day he was born Superior since birth, he

Nonetheless, all that’s left to do is kill it

Like a strong being, he sleeps in a big starfish shape, with all linanimous in his sleep I will let you sleep for eternity

As far as obstacles go, near him are two red apes that are wide awake

Leader, 2 guards

I have to kill all three at once

“Sylph, do you think you can slit all three of their throats at the same time?”

Sylph nods her head up and down

“Okay Slit them”

-Meow

She flew like the wind

Chwak! Chwak! Kwajik-!

From all three of their necks, blood pour like a fountain

‘It’s done!’

I gripped my fists and celebrated I just have to quietly escape the way I came, but…

“Ki ruh ruhk!”

“Huh?”

I’m completely surprised

The red ape leader bastardneck and wakes up He hasn’t died?

The leader presses down on his blood gushi+ng neck and gets up His body is stuerously

“Sylph, kill!”

I give out the order to Sylph

But then, right at that moment

“Ki eeeeeeek-!”
