NOVEL NEXT Chapter 48: Bloodshed Chronicles (1)
People who had been observing began to doubt their own eyes.
It’s impossible for someone whose throat has been cut to come back to life.
However, there was undeniable evidence right before them.
Hwang Yongmin was turning his head in different directions.
“Hwang Yongmin isn’t dead.”
Ryu Min already knew.
That Hwang Yongmin would resurrect.
“So, this must be the hidden rule of this round. If you die, you revive after 10 minutes.”
Dead people are coming back to life?
It seemed absurd, but considering the existence of resurrection skills, it wasn’t entirely surprising.
“Yaaawn. Huh?”
Hwang Yongmin, as if awakened from a deep slumber, yawned and glanced around, only to be taken aback.
“What? Why are people staring at me like that?”
It wasn’t just a passing glance.
They were looking at him as if he were a zombie.
Hwang Yongmin couldn’t help but feel bewildered.
He wasn’t even aware that he had died.
That his throat had been slit so swiftly.
“But something is off. I was definitely having a conversation with Black Scythe, and now this situation…”
It felt like abruptly losing track of a film while watching it.
Without even realizing that Black Scythe had been the one to end his life, Hwang Yongmin surveyed his surroundings.
The players reacted with surprise and uttered incomprehensible words.
“A person has come back to life!”
“It’s like resurrection from a god!”
“What’s happening? It seems like the system revived him!”
“Could it be that in this round, people come back to life even after being killed?”
“Then we can freely kill without consequences…?”
The players exchanged glances.
Their eyes were filled with a spark of life.
“If they can come back to life even after being killed…”
“We can eliminate anyone without hesitation…”
Everyone drew their weapons.
The fact that killing no longer carried the burden of guilt relieved their conscience.
“Everyone, calm down! We aren’t certain if they truly revive or not, so acting rashly… Ahh!”
After her back was slashed, a woman writhed in pain.
Before she could regain her senses from the surprise attack…
Thud!
A sword pierced through her from behind.
“You should be the first to die, you b*tch! Dieeee!!!”
Thud, thud, thud!
The man who had just argued with the woman went mad, repeatedly thrusting his sword into her with a crazed expression.
“Haak, haak.”
The pristine floor instantly turned crimson.
The man’s nickname also changed to crimson.
“Come back quickly! Let’s fight again!”
Even though he had killed her, anticipating her revival, the woman remained motionless.
“What’s happening? Why isn’t she coming back to life?”
The question was answered by another player.
“Perhaps it’s not an immediate resurrection.”
“Is there a cooldown period?”
“Come to think of it, it took 10 minutes for that person to revive!”
“How about we wait and see if that woman comes back to life?”
The players silently agreed and spent time in silence.
If it became certain that they could revive even after being killed, they could eliminate without hesitation.
Time passed, exactly 10 minutes had gone by.
At that moment, the people witnessed the process of revival.
As if time were rewinding, the blood was absorbed, and the wounds healed.
The woman, who had been lifeless, rose like a zombie and regained her original appearance.
“Yaaawn.”
Just like Hwang Yongmin, the woman suddenly regained her senses, yawning back to life.
“Wait?! What the hell! Who’s the bastard that attacked me from behind?”
The woman, rapidly turning her head, caught sight of a grinning man.
“It’s me, you damn b*tch.”
Slice!
This time, the man swiftly slit her throat, ending her life with a chuckle.
“Everyone! Did you see that? It’s confirmed they revive after 10 minutes.”
“Yeah, you’re right. Now we can kill without hesitation!”
Though the resurrection ability had been proven, people hesitated to act immediately.
The reality of committing murder still felt uneasy.
However…
“It’s hard not to get swept up in the atmosphere.”
As some players began killing, competition arose, and others started swinging their blades at one another.
Slice! Slice!
“Ugh!”
“Die!”
“Aaargh!”
There was no specific target in mind.
They simply attacked randomly, anyone within reach.
“Hey, you b*stard! That hurts!”
“I’m sorry! But I’m not doing this because I want to, okay?!”
“You should experience it too!”
“Aaack! Stop! Just stop resisting and die! After all, you’ll revive anyway!”
“Then die, you b*stard!”
The previously pristine space transformed rapidly to red.
The fluorescent hues of their nicknames gradually faded away.
The sight of over a thousand players locked in a frenzied battle resembled a war zone.
“Now’s the time. It’s time to make a move.”
Ryu Min slowly advanced, wielding his scythe.
“Huh? Black Scythe…?”
Slice!
In one seamless motion, he severed the life of a passing player.
It was his way of sparing them unnecessary suffering.
Slice! Slice! Slice!
He began massacring unsuspecting players.
With each swing of his scythe, four lives were claimed.
Amidst the chaos, most players remained oblivious to Ryu Min’s actions.
And naturally, dead players couldn’t utter a word.
But that didn’t mean he went unnoticed.
Some players stealthily approached Ryu Min from behind, akin to cunning cats.
Silently.
Players, having closed in on Ryu Min from behind, swung their weapons.
“Now’s the time! Die…!”
With a flash of light, the upper halves of three players slipped and plummeted to the ground.
Thud, thud, thud!
Wide-eyed, they all perished.
Their faces asked, “How did you sense us?”
“With my keen instincts, there’s no way a surprise attack can succeed.”
Ryu Min smirked.
Even with his eyes closed, he could read the surrounding environment through his instincts, eliminating the fear of ambush.
After approximately 10 minutes, the previously deceased players resurfaced smoothly.
Whether they had died twice or thrice, it made no difference.
There was no limit to resurrection; only a 10-minute cooldown was applied.
“Hehehe! Die! Just die!”
Among the players, a particularly noticeable player emerged.
[Black Dragon Flame].
“Come to think of it, he was here.”
The fourth round stage was undoubtedly crafted for the Black Dragon Flame.
“To someone equipped with the [Rune of Absorption], the current situation must be like a grand feast.”
The Black Dragon Flame had a tangible connection with Ryu Min in the real world.
Hence, he knew just how scary that rune could be.
Ryu Min narrowed his eyes, studying the Black Dragon Flame’s nickname.
“The color has grown rather intense. He must have claimed around ten lives.”
A record akin to Ryu Min’s.
The darker the nickname, the more kills it represented.
“I suppose I’ll have to retire him multiple times.”
To eliminate his competitors, Ryu Min sprang into action.
