Solo Leveling – Chapter 4

(Three Laws)

Jin-Woo yells at the other Hunters.

"Everyone!"

Their attention shifted towards him in an instant.

Jin-Woo talks when he meets their gaze.

"You must bow down towards the statue of the god!"

The hunters started tilting their heads after hearing that.

"Licking….?"

"You want us to bow down on that statue?"

The hunters exchanged glances, before vehemently cursing at Jin-Woo.

“F * your ck! What nonsense are you putting out here ?! ”

"What whatwhat! How could you say such a thing in the current situation ?! ”

"Have you lost your mind, Seong Jin-Woo ?!"

Kim's face turned crimson as he began to snort like a bull.

“I didn't know you, Mr. Seong, would be like this! If I can move, then I will already punch your face !! ”

Jin-Woo bites her lower lip.

Six of their comrades were killed by a statue of a god. So, it was rather obvious that the surviving Hunters would curse at him when he told them to bow down to that heinous thing.

It was not difficult to understand what these Hunters were feeling at the moment.

"And the most important thing is …."

Most importantly, he had no logical proof to support his theory. He just has a hunch.

Indeed, that's the only way to describe it.

Yet…

"I'll do what you say."

The voice came from behind Jin-Woo. Everyone's eyes immediately shifted to it.

It was Mister Song, who was effectively the leader of this group.

"Mr Song ahjussi?"

"You're going to kowtow to the statue f * that cking?"

Just as the other Hunters started to panic, Song stared straight at Jin-Woo.

"young. You found something, didn't you? "

Jin-Woo firmly nods his head.

"Is that your instinct again?"

"…..Yes. For the moment."

"I saw."

Just now, eleven people survived thanks to Jin-Woo's instincts.

Yes, with Lord Joo's death, there are now ten, but it's still – if it's Jin-Woo's instinct, then isn't it worth trusting him at least once more?

That's what Song thought.

As Song knelt down and kowtowed towards the god statue, the mood became calm and silent.

"… He really did."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jin-Woo yells once again.

“Everything, I beg you! Please kneel before the statue of the god. We might get out of here alive! "

Maybe life.

Maybe get out alive.

The impact that those simple words brought was quite explosive.

"We may live?"

"We can get out of here?"

"Only with one kowtow ?!"

The hesitant Hunters began to plunge to the ground, as if they were truly prostrating. The number of those who carried out the act gradually increased. In the end, even the complaining Kim lowered his head towards the statue.

However, there were no visible changes to the statue of the god. Indeed, that cold red light still shone from the statue's eyes.

Jin-Woo feels his heart turn cold.

"Am I wrong?"

This is where his gaze turns to Ju-Hui next to him.

No matter how generous a person is, it is difficult to describe his crouching posture on the ground while shivering while holding his head as his kowtow.

'What if….'

Jin-Woo carefully grasps Ju-Hui's wrist.

He raised his head like a frightened cat. Seeing him, Jin-Woo wordlessly nods his head. Only then did he relax his muscles a little.

With that, Jin-Woo is able to slowly change his posture.

‘Completed.’

There's only one person left now. And there he is.

Jin-Woo kneels towards the god statue, puts his hand on the ground, and slowly bows his head.

Eventually, something started to change.

"Huh? Uh, uhh ?! ”

The hunters who noticed the change first raised their voices.

"God statue !! Look at the statue !! ”

"That's an eye!"

The red light buzzing in his eyes gradually weakened.

"Whatwhat what? Will this really work ?? ”

Finally, the red light completely disappeared.

"Oh !! Ohhh !! ”

The hunters began to rejoice loudly.

"The red light is gone !!"

"We made it!!"

The excited Hunters started to stand up one moment ago. Even so, the statue did not shoot a red beam.

Jin-Woo belatedly lifts his head and sighs in relief.

"Gee…."

As expected – this room operates strictly within the established regulations.

‘If that's the case ...’

This game is far from over. Two 'laws' are still left. Second law, exalting the gods. And the third law, prove one's piety.

That was.

THE RUMBLING!!

Accompanied by the goosebumps, the entire room began to tremble.

Jin-Woo's expression hardens immediately.

'As I thought….'

His suspicions proved to be true once again.

Everything has just begun.

The statue of the humongous god slowly ascended from the stone throne.

"Huh?! Huhhh ??? ”

The hunters hugged each other while shedding tears of joy until then, but when they realized this turn of events, they all froze like statues of their own.

"What....what the fuck!! It's not over yet ?! "

Advertisements

"Here, this can't be !!"

None of them could say what they wanted to say. Despair quickly colored their expressions.

"G … ..Ah, ah …"

Immediately, the statue of the god actually stood up from the throne.

'The 'Creature' swept his gaze once, and started walking towards the Hunters.

***

THUMPED UP!!

Every time the statue of the god stepped on the ground, the entire world seemed to tremble.

THUMPED UP!!

It was so high that his head almost swiped the ceiling of the indescribable room.

THUMPED UP!!

Even as the Hunters were overwhelmed by the sheer size of the statue, it gradually closed its distance with them.

"Mr Seong !! Mr Seong Jin-Woo !! ”

"What can we do??"

The Hunters who were cursing at Jin-Woo just a moment ago hurriedly started crowding around him.

"Is there a way out of this?"

"Say something!!"

All of these adults formed a crying expression as if they were starting to sob and wail immediately.

Right now, Jin-Woo is their only hope.

Jin-Woo helps Ju-Hui who is frozen and stiff from the ground and starts talking about the second law.

“Elevate god. That's key. "

"Wait, isn't that … ?!"

Advertisements

Suddenly Kim interjected as if he knew something that others did not know.

"really. Worship gods. Elevating gods. And finally, prove your piety. We must fulfill all three laws. "

Jin-Woo starts talking faster and faster.

Wh why? The statue of the god was already very close to them.

THUMPED UP!!

Everyone's skin paled as a gigantic shadow loomed over him.

"Let it, let me try something."

A young male hunter who usually took care of himself suddenly took a step forward.

"What ?!" What are you trying to do?"

“I've been in the church choir. I'm sure if it's about 'exalting' something. "

The young hunter slowly stepped forward towards the statue while ignoring Kim's dissatisfaction. He set his breath while staring at the god statue before he breathed in air.

"I come to you, Lord …."

His clear voice began to echo within the room.

"… .Renew my faith .. Bless me with your grace, Lord …"

The statue stopped its steps in front of the singing Hunter.

"Oh !! Ohhh !! ”

The hunters are starting to run out of breath. The god statue did not move from that place as if it was absorbed by the chant.

All the other voices in the room disappeared. Only the voice of the young man could be heard in the interior of the room.

Advertisements

The young hunter was encouraged by this and continued.

"All the weaknesses that are in me .. Through your love, I will overcome …"

Among the Hunters, only Jin-Woo is shaking from this unpleasant sensation that fills him.

"This ... this is wrong."

Jin-Woo swallowed his words a few times.

The room features its own set of rules. But the young Hunter 'exalted' the statue of the god with the 'rules' of Christianity, not by the rules of this room.

Thankfully, the statue did not move – but, can singing the hymn qualify to enforce the rules?

Jin-Woo shakes his head.

The only reason why he didn't say anything was solely because he couldn't think of a better way to stop the god statue himself.

That time too!

THUMPED UP!!

A heavy voice echoed throughout the room.

"K, kkkkyyyaaahhhk !!"

The female Hunter screamed at the top of her lungs.

When the stone statue raised its feet up, the bloody mess that was once a young Hunter could be found on the ground as well as on the bottom of its feet.

The other hunters started screaming in panic and shock as well.

"Ohhhhh ?!"

"Let's go, uwaaaahk !!"

The face of the statue, emotionless until then, was now tangled with pure fury.

"It's angry !!"

"Run, run !!"

The hunter dispersed from the statue in a hurry.

Unfortunately for the female Hunter, she lost her reason and stood on the spot while shouting loudly after personally witnessing the death of the young male Hunter.

"K, kyaaachk !!"

‘D * mn it ...’

Jin-Woo runs away while carrying Ju-Hui in his arms, but he turns around so he can go and help the woman out.

But then, Song stopped the young man.

"But, ahjussi …?"

"It's too late."

As if slapping a fly, the god statue slammed its palm towards the female Hunter.

SLAM!!

"Nrank …"

Jin-Woo turns his eyes unintentionally. It was a truly terrifying sight and he could not bear to see it open.

“There is no time to waste like this. Are you planning to let this girl die too? ”

Song's words resuscitate Jin-Woo in an instant.

Just like he said.

THUMPED UP!!

"Uwahk !!"

THUMPED UP!

THUMP IT!!!

"Help me!!"

The statue is no longer running.

No, it was actually running around and stepping on the humans found nearby. Every time it hit the ground, the entire room shook, violently.

THUMPED UP!! THUMPED UP!!

Jin-Woo grits his teeth and starts running again. Ju-Hui closed her eyes tightly and hugged her for life.

"Let's split up!"

"Yes!"

Thinking that moving together is dangerous, Jin-Woo and Song run in different directions.

Jin-Woo makes sure to run to the farthest corner of the frenzied god statue. However, there was another Hunter who had arrived there before he did.

That's Mr. Park.

Park ran with everything he had.

Tears formed at the end of her eyes as she recalled her family.

"Crying…"

At home, a son very similar to him and a wife who was pregnant with a second child had been waiting for him. He can't die here, not like this.

Perhaps because he ran with everything he had, he could run the furthest from the statue out of everyone here.

"Panting …."

As Park tries to control her heavy breathing in the corner, her friend Kim yells at her.

"Master Park !!"

Park raised her head after hearing a familiar voice.

"Yes?"

Kim pointed at the spot behind Park and shouted.

"Your back !! Look behind you!!"

Just then, something sharp glittered coldly behind Mister Park.

"Uh …?"

Slicing!

Park was sliced in two from the top of her head to the base of her thigh. Two neatly cut parts fell to the ground.

"GARDEN!!"

The stone statue that killed Park with its greatsword returned to its position as if nothing had happened, just like the previous doorman did.

Kim started crying after witnessing this scene.

"You kids b*tches …. !!"

THUMPED UP!!

THUMPED UP!!

Behind him, a statue of a humongous god stepped on and killed a single human at that moment, and if you ran into a corner to avoid it, then the stone statue located there would start attacking you.

"U, uwaaah !!"

"My arm!! Mmmm !! ”

The inside of the room quickly fell into chaos.

"Heok, heok …."

Cold sweat dripped from Jin-Woo's forehead.

His legs are getting heavy. His breathing is getting rough. However, his head was filled with only one chain of thoughts.

‘Elevate god. Elevating gods. Elevate god …. '

The words of the second law circulated in his brain incessantly. The key to unraveling this mystery must be in this room.

Something in this room they could use!

However, when the Hunters first entered this place, they had searched every nook and cranny, but had found no single tool or things that might be some kind of tool.

"No, then or now, the only things here that can move are the stone statues."

That was.

A thought flashed past Jin-Woo's brain just then.

"Only the moving objects here are those statues?"

D* the mn.

Jin-Woo's eyes widen.

"Why didn't I think of that before ?!"

If the only things that could move were stone statues, then the only thing he could use were them as well.

These statues were activated when humans approached them, meaning he had to take advantage of this rule.

'What if….!'

Although she is out of breath, Jin-Woo roars hard enough to shake the entire room.

"Run towards the statues that hold musical instruments !!"

And
