Chapter 132 The Whole Story

When the duo met the youth's bleak eyes under the shades of his hair, they froze stiff

Kiiiik–!

A screeching sound of round as he walked one step at a time

The duo's faces turned pale They started stepping backwards as if they had seen a grim reaper, but their backs soon struck the wall

They turned around in fright, but they couldn't see a place to escape to

“W-Why…”

Their eyes hadat them like that However, not only did Seol Jihu's coe…

“You sons of bitches…”

But his growling voice tre eyes were bloodshot, and his veins were bulging out of his forearms

That was how enraged Seol Jihu was

Because he had seen it

Because when he saw theh his Nine Eyes, another vision had spread out before his eyes

He saw the duoher Dissonant Wish, and escaping

Of course, he couldn't believe the sudden vision unquestioningly, but Audrey Basler had testified and had even led the After all, if they really were innocent, they wouldn't have refused the body search

In other words, theyonce the Alliance team left After all, it wasn't as if there weren't any people rerass field until then

Seol Jihu had done his best to turn the Banquet into a real banquet, yet not only did these two ruin everything, but they also killed Lara Wolff, as begging for her life

This was the biggest reason Seol Jihu was angry

“Why did you kill her?”

A slightly hoarse voice rang out

“H-Huh?”

The tre woman asked in a stutter

“Lara Wolff… the bob cut Archer”

“Bob cut Archer… a woman?”

Seol Jihu took in a deep breath

“Why did you kill them?”

“We didn't!”

“It's a !”

The ardless, when the youth raised his spear, the man and the woman jumped in surprise

“Please! We really didn't kill her!”

“Bob cut Archer? We never even saw her!”

Seol Jihu's ar him hesitate, the man calmly tried to deny it

“I think you're seriously …”

But when he saw Seol Jihu swing his spear again, he hurriedly shouted

“Wait, wait! The person we killed wasn't a woman, but a manpp!!”

The woman quickly blocked the man's mouth However, it was too late

Seol Jihu furrowed his brows

“Not a woman, but a man?”

Realizing his slip of the tongue, the man's expression devolved into despair

'But the one I saw in my vision was Lara Wolff…'

“You idiot!”

The wo her lips and “Ptui!” unexpectedly spitting out a small thorn

Although she was extremely close to Seol Jihu, she failed to achieve what she wanted It was because of the s around Seol Jihu

'So they did kill someone'

Glaring at the his arm without hesitation

Chwak!

The woman's frail neck was easily sliced off, and her head flew up into the air

The headless body shook before collapsing helplessly The man screamed and plopped down on his butt

After seeing the wo body, he looked up with teary eyes

“Spa…”

“Spare me…”

Seol Jihu looked doith cold eyes and calmly asked

“Why did you kill him?”

“Spare…”

“WHY DID YOU KILL HIM!?”

“U, UAAAAAAH!”

When Seol Jihu shouted, a screaer in hand, but Seol Jihu's spear instantly stabbed his chest and skewered him onto the wall

His body wriggled like chopped-off octopus legs, then sagged down

That was his first murder

He didn't feel like he killed game characters

The sensation of slicing soft flesh, the sensation of cutting hard bones, the beating heart and organs… he felt everything clearly

But that was it His eyes didn't shake, and neither did his hands He calhened breath

There were now five people re

Half had died, but the rooe could be spotted It ame had yet to end

After looking up at the ceiling for ahim silently, but her throat drew a small up-and-down movement

'Is this… really him…?'

She couldn't help but think this Because, while carefully scanning the re with a criht akin to the pupils of a beast

Just like when 'Future Vision' activated

A chilling gaze reached her

'How scary'

Oh Rahee was convinced that she ht choice

Turning her blade on Slick Hair and his comrades had been the correct answer If Seol Jihu ai killed so easily… she had a strong, unfounded hunch that she would lose if she fought now

Oh Rahee returned her rapier to her scabbard and raised both of her hands

“It's not me”

She muttered quietly

“I'ht?”

She s at her for a aze

“Why look at me?”

A blunt voice shot out

“I shut up and remained silent just like you wanted I even entered the Plaza of the Dissonant Wish before you You should know that I am innocent better than anyone else”

Audrey Basler murmured with narrowed eyes

Seol Jihu aze to the next person When his eyes landed on the burly led

Paat!

Vision It was another vision

The scene didn't take place in Stage 2, but in Stage 1 The burly man ran wildly inside a room andcutting their flesh into pieces very much, almost as if he felt ecstasy from murder

Seeing Seol Jihu's expression, Oh Rahee crossed her arms

“You What's your class?”

Chareureuk! Rather than an answer, the sound of chains rang out The burlyfishy as he raised his scythe

“Why are you trying to kill me?”

Hearing him ask as if he couldn't understand, Seol Jihu opened his mouth

“In Stage 1…”

He remembered how the burly man walked up the staircase alone, plastered in blood

“Why did you climb up alone?”

It wasn't until considerable ti alert answered

“I had a reason to kill them”

“A reason to kill them?”

“That's it”

“So you killed all seven of them?”

The burly ed for the first time

“What do you mean? I only killed six of them”

'What?'

Seol Jihu's eyes narrowed

“Six of theainst me first I only responded to their threat”

“But when you climbed up to the mountaintop…”

“If you're talking about the staircase part of Stage 1, I climbed it from the second floor The one who came out with me died in the middle to a monster attack He died because he lacked skill What am I supposed to do about that?”

What was going on? If he was telling the truth, it ain

It didn't look like he was lying

Seol Jihu pressed his forehead

[Wait, wait! The person we killed wasn't a woman, but a manpp!!]

He was reminded of the words the man shouted before he became a cold corpse

[Hurry up and take him!]

He was reht against the Orc Champion

[Oppa got hurt trying to save me…]

And he was reirl

Seol Jihu slowly closed his eyes

“Are you going to kill me?”

As the athtened his grasp on his spear Then…

“…damn it”

Hetight enough tointo the skin

Tang!

The Ice Spearnoise

“I will stop here”

Seol Jihu tilted his head up and spoke into the empty darkness

“I'll stop here, God da it here!”

Seol Jihu raised his voice and looked around with a complicated expression Soon, his eyes widened

The four people ere standing upright all fell over one by one

Oh Rahee and Audrey Basler fell, the burly man dropped his scythe and collapsed, and even the Priest Kazuki invited lost her consciousness

Then–

[What a la!]

A sory voice resounded in his ears

Seol Jihu, as looking around hastily, froze stiff

[You were doing so well, yet you give up with just one decision left to make?]

A groan escaped hisdown on his body It wasn't an unfamiliar sensation To be precise, he had felt it once before – back in the Neutral Zone's Cha

[Coave you so much support so you could do well So why did you make that decision at the end?]

This thunderous, do voice had to be Ira, the God of Wrath

'The Seven Gods!'

The Seven Gods of Paradise had appeared in this place

Right, looking back, there were more than one or two suspicious points

Everyone else was separated froe 1, but only Seol Jihu entered with Maria; almost as if she was the minimal safety measure

It was the sa that it was suspicious that the robed Priest focused on protecting just him

The result of the exchange felt like an outside force had interfered, and Seol Jihu periodically thought that the Banquet was similar to the Neutral Zone

Until now, he was only suspicious

But with the appearance of the Seven Gods, he felt as if he got backstabbed

[Backstabbed?]

An 'envious' voice…

[Co to be like that?]

And a 'prideful' voice rang out

[During Stage 1, we gave you the special treat a comrade accohter of Luxuria to guard you We will be disappointed if you really think that way]

Seol Jihu clenched his teeth Even opening his lare at the air with s

[What was that? Why do we host the Banquet and make people kill each other?]

Ira snorted, see read his mind

[Are you asking because you really don't know the answer? You What do you think is the reason we sus to this world?]

Seol Jihu's expression stiffened

The reason was simple — to save this world which was on the crossroads of ruin

And Earthlings received rewards in exchange

[It was fine at first, but it became more and more ridiculous as time went by]

[Focusing on dealing with the Parasites would have been difficult enough, but they were blinded by the profits in front of the each other]

[They even rose in revolt because they didn't like what they were su Paradisians]

[Evil… Evil…]

Several voices rang out at once

[It's the same with the Banquet]

Ira growled

[At first, its purpose was to help Earthlings who couldn't becoeous, talented ones a chance to grow]

'But!'

[Ridiculous! Was the trial we gave ih you cleared Stage 2 with 110 people?]

Having read Seol Jihu's thoughts, Ira seized the initiative Seol Jihu beca

[Well, I ade were shi+tty Because we made them that way on purpose]

Ira snickered

[We had no other choice Don't tell ht ould stay put and let the Earthlings' behavior continue?]

Seol Jihu bit his lips
