Chapter 27

“Hot damn…” he said while swallowing down hard.

“This is incredible!” she yelled aloud.

Overall, the terrain was flat with a slightly lowered center. They saw all kinds of staircases, strange buildings, and oddly large sculptures. The area seemed to reach several kilometers in diameter.

All the roads were spread out radially around the center. In the center was an octagonal shaped hole.

The layout reminded them of the previous Korean flag, one that had an octagonal shape in the center. There were probably many other things to see, but it was too dark for them to make everything out.

A huge moon was floating in the sky. A half-oval shaped moon shined on the opposite side.

What surprised them even more were the approximately 50 broken pot-shaped giant structures on the other side. Some were floating in the air, while some were on a floating mountain. They looked mysterious and bizarre under the moonlight.

The two approached the hole. The inside of the hole was shrouded in darkness. However, with his enhanced eyes, he could clearly see the entirety of the space they had inhabited in the last year.

Though the clouds were always covering the sky from below, there seemed to be no visual obstacles when looking down.

“So… this is what was shrouded beyond the clouds?”

“Yes.”

“They used some sort of camouflage technology. So even if we cleared the side mountaintops, it’s just an endless cliff downward…”

San frowned. He sat on the edge and took out one of his last few cigarettes. One could see the purple sky through his smoke. He broke out into laughter.

“Were we wrapped in a cocoon? Or caught in a Venus flytrap? Escape was impossible from the start. What does this mean? What the hell is this world? God’s land? Look at the buildings over there. Are they temples?” San asked.

“It’s certain that our hope to escape from this place doesn’t look too good,” Biyeon replied.

“Did we ever really have hope?”

“We need to find a way. We’re like tireless birds who flew up to here. Isn’t it too early to despair?”

Biyeon was looking at San rather calmly. He exhaled cigarette smoke straight up into the air.

“Hope… Okay, I’ve given my life for this pursuit, so it would be sad to see all that effort go to waste. Let’s figure something out. Do you have any good ideas?”

Instead of answering, she smiled. They slowly walked around, checking their surroundings. She looked forward.

She raised her hands and measured the height of the far away mountains. They seemed to roughly reach her eye level. The surrounding mountain peaks surrounding this place were either a bit higher or equal to their current location’s elevation.

They felt like they were trapped inside a phallic object. She imagined the shape of a male’s reproductive organ when she analyzed the pillar. A huge pillar with a space opened from the inside. It felt like this structure was a large phallic object.

She shook her head and then looked down.

In the darkness below, she saw a path of lava flowing and huge forests that looked like blades of grass in the moonlight. She tore some paper and sprinkled it down below.

The paper scattered in the wind and flew away. She threw several objects upwards towards the sky. The wind was also blowing strongly above them. It felt like they were in the eye of a tornado.

She started meticulously writing something down. The two were constantly debating while walking around the octagonal area. Dawn must have arrived. Light started entering.

“Let’s go back. I think it’s time for the gods and workers of this place to go to work.”

“There’s quite a lot to prepare.”

“We’ve done this much, what’s a little more? We only live once.”

San and Biyeon slowly got up and put on their gear and outfits.

In the square in front, two teams had already entered and took their positions. The teams were spaced out like a tripod. The two teams were looking at their side with a sense of ease.

According to the content of the conversation they overheard between Nil and Null, these guys were the strongest amongst the summoned pairings.

Suki and Beckham were the strongest group, and Yamato and Nami came in at a close second. It was difficult for San and Biyeon to understand where they stood, as they hadn’t crossed paths with these pairings before.

“Which assholes shall we kill first?” Suki said as she turned her head to the side.

She looked very beautiful and neat. Glossy black hair, white skin, and skin-tight clothing that wrapped her body from her chest to her butt. Her skin-tight clothing revealed her smooth legs and oozed sexiness.

Apparently, everyone was given new clothes before moving on to the next Pian.

“Wouldn’t it be better to deal with the country bumpkins over there first?” Beckham carefully asked while pointing at San and Biyeon.

“Does it really matter? You’re such an idiot. Since those Asian guys look stronger, we should take care of them before moving onto the weaker team. It’s not too late to kill the bumkins afterwards.” Suki tapped Beckham's cheek as she replied.

“Get up. We’re doing this for fun anyways. Just follow my lead,” she continued.

Beckham bent his knees to make it easier for Suki to push herself up. Afterwards, he got up and stood behind Suki’s right shoulder. She reached her hand out.

He pulled out a half-filled bottle of nectar and placed it on her palm. He then slashed his wrist and spilled blood into the bottle of nectar.

Suki drank half the content of the bloody nectar, mixed her own blood into the bottle, and passed it to Beckham.

After he drank the rest of the bloodied nectar, he put the empty bottle into his backpack.

As they wiped their mouths, their expressions turned fierce. A destructive power filled their body and an aura of violence started emanating out in all directions.

Even San and Biyeon, who were standing close to fifty meters away, could feel their killing aura.
