The Attack Begins The Statue of God's eyes were lit with a crimson light . Was it a Hunter's instinct ? No , it was the survival instincts of a living being . " Something " was coming . " Something " that could not be stopped . Jinwoo turned and shouted on top of his lungs . " GET DOWN ! " Right as his mouth opened , a crimson ray of light shot out from the Statue's eyes . Jinwoo threw himself at Juhee and pulled her to the ground . BEAM ~ ! The ray of light passed through where Jinwoo was standing moments before . One tenth of a second . No , one hundredth of a second . If the timing of his actions were off by just an infinitesimal amount ...
The other Hunters were not as lucky . " Uwaaaaaaah ! " " Ahhhhhhh ! " The screams did not come from the Hunters who were struck by the light . After all , the ones who were struck disintegrated instantly , leaving only a trace of ash and burnt stone in their wake . No , the screams were coming from the Hunters who survived . " What the hell is this ! " " Waaaaah ! " " How could this ... " The Hunters were in shock . Eleven remained alive out of sixteen . They had never seen an attack like this before . I barely dodged after hearing Jinwoo . ' If Mr. Sung didn't shout just now ... ' The Hunters looked at Jinwoo and gulped . Their lives ' savior . If it was not for him , they knew that they would be counted among the fallen . 26 With his entire body bowed on the ground , Jinwoo turned his head and peaked at the Statue . Its eyes were still lit with crimson glow but did not continue its attack . Is ... is it done attacking ? ' Jinwoo turned his head towards the ground again . Juhee lay below him , shaking in fear . Although she was a B - Rank Hunter , this was the reason she hunted in simple Raids under the Association and not an advanced Raid under a large Guild .
Her breathing became more and more irregular . He couldn't just leave her like this . Thinking he had to do something to help her , Jinwoo began to get - up when a strong hand forced him back down . " Don't stand up . " It was Mr. Song . Although surprised , Jinwoo sternly listened to his words . Mr. Song shouted at the other Hunters , as well . " Everyone stay where you are ! Don't move from your position ! " After taking a quick look across the party , Mr. Song turned to Jinwoo again . " The ones who were moving got hit . Those that listened to you and got down survived . " " I see ... " Mr. Song tilted his head in confusion . " Did you not shout after figuring something out ? " " I just felt something dangerous was coming , that's all ... " Mr. Song's eyes looked at him with bright eyes . ' His instincts are good . I heard he was an E - Rank ? If only his abilities were a little higher ... ' His gaze turned into one of pity as he continued to stare at Jinwoo . Meanwhile , Jinwoo got a better look at the man staring at him . What caught his eyes shocked him . " Ah - ahjussil131 ... your arm ... " [ 13 ] " ahjussi " ( ox ; ah - juh - ssi ) : Korean noun to refer to or describe a middle - aged man . Japanese equivalent = ojisan . " It's alright , I can endure this much . " " But ... " Jinwoo gulped . Mr. Song's right arm was draped over Jinwoo's shoulder , and his other arm ... His other arm was gone . While silently looking at Juhee , Mr. Song wordlessly wrapped the remnants of his shirt around the stump where his arm was , gritting his teeth through the pain . " Can you tie the end here ? Hard to do with just one hand . " As Jinwoo nodded and completed what could barely be called first - aid , Mr. Song let out a long sigh . It was a sigh filled with ten years of hunting experience . Looking around , he took in the surroundings and the status of their situation . Just because the Statue of God had stopped its attack didn't mean their adversity was over . Time passed as the Hunters lay on the ground . " Uwaaaah- " " Why did this happen to us ... " Some of the Hunters started crying again . " We can't stay like this forever ! " The patience of the survivors was slowly reaching its limits . Jinwoo felt the same . We can't stay like this forever . ' But what could they do ? If Mr. Song's guess was correct , they would be attacked the moment they started moving . And even if they managed to dodge the Statue of God's attack , they still had to go through the statues guarding the door . And therein lied the other problem . The movement of the one guarding the door was so fast that it could barely be seen by the naked eye . How could they get past something like that ? It was an impossible situation . The Hunters ' annihilation was simply a matter of time . Wait ... a matter of time ? ' As the thought appeared in his head , an uncomfortable thought followed . Something that no one else had noticed . There's ... there's something we missed . ' Perhaps the answer was there . It was in that moment . " Don't move ! " Mr. Song yelled at Mr. Joo , who responded by baring his teeth . " Shut up ! We don't know when that thing will attack again ! You just want us to wait until that time ?! " Mr. Joo was a Fighter - class Hunter . As beings who threw their bodies into the middle of combat , a Fighter - class Hunter's physical abilities were much greater than an ordinary human . On top of that , Mr. Joo was someone whose skills were acknowledged by a large Guild , who had offered him a contract . " I can't die like this . " With his body still lowered to the ground , Mr. Joo flexed the muscles in his legs . The goal is the door . With an explosive start , Mr. Joo ran towards the door . Watching the man's attempt , Jinwoo turned away and looked back at the Statue of God . As if waiting , the Statue was looking at Mr. Joo . A ray of light exploded from its eyes . BEAM ~ ! The ray covered Mr. Joo's back . " Kiyaaaaaah ! " One of the female Hunters screamed . Unable to control her fear , a yellow puddle slowly appeared from the ground she was collapsed on . The other Hunter's faces hardened . " Oh my god ... " No trace of Mr. Joo could be found where he stood . Save for two feet on the ground , ending just above the ankles . The sound of a man retching reached Jinwoo's ears , and he furrowed his brows . As expected , this ' thing ' was more than capable of annihilating all the Hunters in an instant . To it , it was easier than stepping on an insect . So why ... why isn't it ? ' It could kill them all , yet it did not . Compared to the magic beasts that always threw themselves at the Hunters , these things were different . Attacking someone only when they moved . Attacking someone only when they neared the door . There was a pattern and condition to their aggression . Like a game with rules . Perhaps ... There are rules to this room ? ' In that moment , Jinwoo found a piece of the puzzle in his head . It was the tablet that Mr. Song was reading earlier . ' Commandments of the Cartenon Temple ' A commandment was a rule , and rules must be followed . If there was a way out of this place , away from these things , the key was written on that tablet . " ... Worship the Lord . " Jinwoo spoke the first commandment out loud . " Hmm ? Did you say something ? " Mr. Song asked , facing Jinwoo .

(Sm_etc_hindi ) Instead of answering , Jinwoo put a finger to his lips . If I'm correct ... " Slowly , Jinwoo got up . Mr. Song frantically tried to stop him , but Jinwoo shook his head at him with a determined face . ... That's not a face that's given up on living . " Mr. Song nodded at Jinwoo . Without looking away from the Statue of God , Jinwoo slowly rose and raised his body gradually higher and higher . Suddenly , the Statue of God's gaze fell upon him . BEAM ~ ! If he hesitated even for a split second on getting back to the ground , Jinwoo would've lost a lot more than few strands of hair on his head . Back on the ground , Jinwoo panted heavily . He had almost died just now . When his eyes met the Statue of God's , he knew he had looked at death right in the eyes . Having dodged the attack by a hair ( literally ) , Jinwoo's legs could not stop shaking . ' But ... ' It was not for naught . He's not attacking someone who's moving . ' Having his body lowered to the ground , no amount of movement caused a reaction from the Statue of God . No , his attacks are towards someone who rises above a certain height . ' To confirm , he had just put his life on the line . And now , he had that confirmation . The meaning of the First Commandment !
