Three commandments jinwoo shouted ????!

Three Commandments Jinwoo shouted towards the other Hunters . " Everyone ! " Th. " You have to bow before the Statue of God ! " The Hunters tilted their heads in confusion . " Bow ... ? " " Bow to that thing ? " The Hunters who Three Commandments Jinwoo were looking at each other started cursing at Jinwoo " Fuck ... What the hell are you saying ?! " " Is this a situation where you could say something like that ?! " " Have you gone crazy , Sung Jinwoo ?! " Mr. Kim flared his nostrils . " Looks like I judged you wrong ! If I could get up from this spot , I'd sock you right in the nose ! " Jinwoo bit his lips . After all , six of their comrades had fallen to the Statue of God . To think that he'd ask the others to bow before it understandably invited their ire . More importantly ... ' There was no solid proof to his guesses . Only a gut feeling . One could not easily explain or put to words what they felt through instinct . While he was lost for words , someone spoke up : " I'll do it . " The voice came from behind Jinwoo . The Hunters ' eyes turned toward the Raid Leader who had spoken . " Mr. Song ... ? " " You're going to bow before that goddamn statue ? " As the Hunters spoke out in confusion , Mr. Song turned and met Jinwoo's eyes . " What have you discovered ? " Jinwoo shook his head . " Just a gut feeling ? " " ... Yes , for now . " " I see . " Jinwoo's instincts resulted in eleven of them being still alive , well , ten after Mr. Joo's death . As such , was it not worth it to try and put some faith in him ? This was what Mr. Song believed . As the Raid Leader bowed before the Statue of God , the mood in the air became somber . " You're really going to do it ? " Taking advantage of the opportunity Mr. Song had provided , Jinwoo spoke up " Please ! Bow before the Statue of God . This might be our only way to leave here alive ! " Alive . To leave here alive . That phrase reached the others ' ears with a great weight . Leave here alive ? ' We can get out of here ? " Just by bowing before that thing ? " One by one , the hesitant Hunters started bowing before the Statue , imitating a scene of worship . Eventually , even the angry Mr. Kim also took his place bowing before the Statue . However , there was no response from the Statue of God . Its two eyes still glowed with the terrifying crimson light . Jinwoo felt his heart sinking to his stomach . ' Was I wrong ? And his gaze turned to Juhee at his side . Lying completely prone on the ground with her hands covering her head , it was hard to say that she was in a position of bowing before the Statue . ' Ah ... ' Jinwoo gently grabbed Juhee's wrists . Startled , Juhee looked up at him like a terrified He wordlessly nodded at her , then released his hand . Slowly , Jinwoo helped Juhee assumed the position of worship before the Statue of God . This should do it . ' And then there was one . Himself . Jinwoo faced the Statue , kneeling , then put his hands on the ground and slowly bowed his head . And a change occurred . " Oh , ooh ? " The Hunters who noticed started making noise . " The Statue of God ? Everyone , look at the Statue of God ! " " Its eyes ! " The crimson light that adorned the Statue's eyes were fading away . " What ? You mean this really is working ? " And just like that , the lights completely disappeared from the Statue's eyes . The Hunters cheered in unison . " The light disappeared ! " " We're alive ! " The excited Hunters rose from their spots and cheered , but the Statue of God did not react . Jinwoo , who followed suit , sighed with relief . " Phew- " As he had guessed . This room was operating accordingly to a set of rules and conditions , just like a game . If that's true ... ' The game was not over yet . There were two more Commandments . Second : Praise the Lord ; Third : Prove your Faith . Suddenly , with a deep rumbling , the entire room started to shake . Jinwoo's expression hardened . As I thought ... ' His guesses were correct . This was not over . The Statue of God's enormous body was slowly rising from its seat . " Eh , eh ?! " The Hunters who were celebrating together with tears of joy froze . " W - what ?! Wasn't it all over ?! " " No , it can't be ! " Frozen in fear , the Hunters could not say much more . Their faces were filled with terror and despair . " No ... no ... " The Statue of God assumed a standing position . It looked around , taking in the surrounding , then started walking towards the Hunters . BOOM ! With each step it took , the Statue of God shook the earth . BOOM ! Its massive figure was such that its head almost reached the ceiling . BOOM ! As its sheer size put pressure on the Hunters , it slowly closed the gap between it and them . " Hey , Mr. Sung ! Mr. Sung Jinwoo ! " " What should we do ?! " The Hunters who were cursing Jinwoo only moments ago now looked towards him for hope . " Is there anything else we have to do ?! " " Say something ! " Even as grown adults , the Hunters ' faces were on the verge of breaking down in tears . Yet they looked at Jinwoo as their only remaining hope . Jinwoo carefully helped Juhee , frozen in fear , to her feet , and he explained the Second Commandment . " It said , ' Praise the Lord ' , that's our clue . " " Ah , that's ! " Mr. Kim spoke knowingly , " It was written on the tablet , right ? " " That's right , ' Praise the Lord ' , ' Prove your Faith ' , we have to fulfill all three Commandments . " Jinwoo's words were filled with urgency . BOOM ! With one last step , the Statue of God had already arrived before their group . Its massive shadows covered the Hunters , whose faces became pale . " I , I'll try . " One of the Hunters , normally a shy , youthful man , stepped forward . " Hey ! What are you going to try ?! " " I'm part of my church's choir . If it's ' praise ' , I'm confident in it . " The young man answered Mr. Kim and walked towards the Statue of God . As he neared the Statue , he took a deep breath and started singing " As I walk to the Lord " His youthful voice rang throughout the room . " ~ Please renew me and provide me with your blessing . ~ " The Statue of God stopped before him . The Hunters gasped in surprise and awe . As if it was satisfied by the song , the Statue of God stood motionless . All other sounds of the room disappeared , only the youth's voice was heard in the room . Gaining courage from the apparent result , the Hunter strengthened his voice and continued to sing " ~ All my weaknesses will be washed away by the gra Amidst the hopeful Hunters , Jinwoo could not shake the feeling of uneasiness . The feeling that they were missing something . No ... this is all wrong . ' He kept repeating the thought to himself . This room had its own set of rules . Right now , the youthful Hunter was following the rule of Christianity , not this room . But thankfully , the Statue of God was not moving . Maybe this was enough to satisfy the conditions ? Jinwoo tilted his head . The reason why he had not stopped the singing was because he could not think of any other way to stop the Statue of God . Suddenly BOOM ! of my Lord- ' A loud crash broke through the singing , followed by a scream " Kiyaaaaaaah ! " As the Statue of God raised its foot again , the mangled remains of the singing Hunter fell from its sole . The other Hunters started screaming as well . " Ahhhh ! " " Uwaaaaak ! " The previously emotionless face of the Statue of God was now filled with an incredible rage . " It's angry ! " " R - run ! " The Hunters quickly ran away from the Statue . " Kiyaaaaah !!! " Having lost all thought and reason after seeing the youthful man be crushed beneath the Statue of God's foot , a female Hunter simply stood in place and screamed . ' Shit ... ! ' Jinwoo , who was running with Juhee in his arms , quickly turned to try and help her . But he was blocked by Mr. Song . " Ahjussi ... ? " " It's too late ! " Like swatting a fly , the Statue of God slammed its hand on top of the female Hunter . BANG ! Jinwoo turned away . It was a gruesome scene which he could not bear to witness . " We can't screw around here ! Are you trying to get that young lady killed as well ?! " At Mr. Song's rebuke , Jinwoo snapped back to attention . Mr. Song was right . BOOM ! " Uwaaaak ! " BOOM ! BOOM ! " Help me ! " No longer walking , the Statue of God ran from Hunter to Hunter , crushing them beneath his feet . With each step , he shook the entire temple . BOOM ! BOOM ! Jinwoo ran with his teeth clenched . With her eyes closed , Juhee held on to Jinwoo as they ran . " Let's split apart ! " " Okay ! " Knowing that running together made them a better target , Jinwoo and Mr. Song separated away from each other . Trying to maintain the largest distance between himself and the Statue of God , Jinwoo ran towards a spot at the walls . He saw that Mr. Park was already there , having ran with all his might , knowing there was more on the line to him than just his own life . The image of his family reflected over his teary eyes . His son , who looked just like his father . His wife , with his second child . Mr. Park could not afford to die in a place like this . Pulling forth every ounce of his strength , Mr. Park was able to reach the walls faster than the other Hunters . " Huff ... Huff ... " Suddenly , Mr. Kim , who was friends with the man , shouted at the panting Mr. Park . " Mr. Park ! " At the familiar voice , Mr. Park turned towards Mr. Kim " Hmm ? " Mr. Kim gestured towards Mr. Park's back and yelled " Turn ! Turn around ! " And something sharp flashed from behind Mr. Park . " Huh ... ? " Slash Mr. Park was split cleanly from the top of his head to the base of his crotch . The evenly separated sides of his body fell in different directions on to the ground . " MR . PARK !!! " The statue that had cleaved Mr. Park in twain with its sword simply returned and assumed its position on the walls , as if nothing had happened . Mr. Kim held back tears as he witnessed the death of his friend . " These fucking pieces of- ! " BOOM ! BOOM ! BOOM ! Behind him , the giant Statue of God was going from Hunter to Hunter , crushing them with his feet . Those that fled to the walls were attacked by the statues . " Ahhhhh ! " " My arm ! My arm ! " The interior of the temple had turned into a scene of terror and carnage . Jinwoo panted wildly as he ran , his forehead dripping with cold sweat . His legs getting heavier and heavier ; his breath getting shallower and shallower . But his head was filled with a single thought , repeated over and over again : Praise the Lord . Praise the Lord . Praise the Lord . ' The Second Commandment that swam through his head . The key to solving the meaning of the Commandments must be hidden in this room . There must be something in here that we're supposed to use ! ' But when the Hunters initially entered the temple and looked around , they found no tools or mechanisms . The only thing here are those damned statues . ' ' Wait . ' A thought appeared in Jinwoo's head . The only thing that's here are those statues ? " Jinwoo's eyes widened . " Why didn't I think of that ?! " If the statues were the only thing in this room . Then the statues must be the key to solving the mystery . The statues only moved when someone entered their proximity ; this must have been the key to using them somehow . If that's correct ... ! ' Gathering what energy he had left , Jinwoo screamed through his panting breath " EVERYONE , HEAD TO THE STATUES WITH INSTRUMENTS ! " Jinwoo's shout reached all the Hunters ' ears . " Instruments ?! " Hope returned to their eyes . Unlike the time where Jinwoo asked them to bow , the Hunters this time did not hesitate to respond . Of course , if Jinwoo was wrong on his guess , they would be massacred when they approached the statues . But in this moment , there was not one Hunter who remained suspicious of Jinwoo's directions . Mr. Song was the first to arrive at a statue holding an instrument . *** Holding his breath , Mr. Song slowly looked up at the statue . As if responding , the statue's fingers moved , and it started playing the harp in its hands . It was a beautiful sound . " He was right ! " " Move to the statues with instruments ! " Each Hunter , with renewed hope , ran towards the various statues holding instruments . Trumpets , flutes , lyres . Soon , the harmonious melody of different instruments filled the entire temple . Mr. Kim , who had been running until his breath ran out , collapsed and knelt before a statue holding a mandolin . Strum- strum ~ As the mandolin's melody rang through the air , the Statue of God that was chasing Mr. Kim slowed to a stop . Unable to hold his emotions back , Mr. Kim burst into tears where he knelt . " Uwaaaaah- " And the Statue of God turned away from him . Scanning the rest of the temple , it found its new target . " Shit ! " Meeting its eyes , Jinwoo cursed . And he started running , his heart beating like it was about to explode . His sweating back was soaked . Why ! Why is this one not playing ?! ' Jinwoo glared at the statue he had arrived at with resentment . Holding drums in its hands , its silent figure made no indication that it would play its instrument . BOOM ! BOOM ! BOOM ! With terrifying speed , the Statue of God closed the gap between them . As the Statue , which had been at the opposite end of the room only moments ago , neared them , Jinwoo gulped . Is it because Juhee and I are both here at the same time ? ' That must've been the answer . As he looked around , no other Hunter had trouble with their statues . I don't have time to think about this , ' He put down Juhee and prepared to run to a different spot . " Jinwoo ... " A terrified Juhee held onto his sleeves . Jinwoo calmly whispered into her ears " We'll both die if I stay . " As he saw tears forming at the corners of her eyes , Jinwoo knew that there was no time to explain . He gently pulled away her shaking hands from his sleeves , then ran with all his might towards another statue . * Ba - Bum * * Ba - Bum * * Ba - Bum * He heard the beat of the drum starting from behind him as he ran . Thank god . ' There was only one thing left . To safely make it to another statue ! Jinwoo was now the only one who had not made it to the protection of statues holding instruments . Accordingly , the complete rage of the Statue of God was now focused solely on him . Jinwoo ran away from the crashing footsteps of his chaser and sped across the room . BOOM ! BOOM ! As he barely dodged and rolled away from the Statue's stomps , his panting became heavier and heavier . Although he was the lowest of the E - rank Hunters , as a Fighter class Hunter , his body offered what little help it could in this situation . Just a little bit more ! ' Taking notice of the Statue of God's footsteps closing in on him , he focused and strengthened his legs . His speed increased . There was but a few steps until he reached his target statue . " NO , NOT THAT WAY ! " Mr. Song had shouted at him . Having focused on the Statue of God's movements until now , Jinwoo turned his attention to the statue he had arrived at . " Ah ! " It's not holding an instrument ! ' He now realized what appeared to be an instrument in the statue's hands was actually a shield . Without mercy , the statue raised and brought down the shield in its hands . " Uwah ! " Jinwoo threw his body to the side . " Kiyaah ! " Juhee screamed . As he rolled across on the floor , he looked up . The Statue of God was almost upon him . " Out of the frying pan ... " His tumble on the ground had opened a cut on his forehead . Blood flowed down to his eyes , obscuring his vision . Jinwoo rapidly looked left and right . Instrument , instrument ... ' But no instrument registered in his eyes . The Statue of God raised its foot . " Shit ! " BOOM ! Jinwoo barely evaded the stomp by throwing his body to the side . But he was reaching his limits . Feeling faint , he found it hard to maintain balance for some reason . ' Please ... ' If there was a God , he wanted to pray to it . In that moment , Jinwoo noticed a statue that was neither holding a weapon nor an instrument . That's ! " He crawled with last vestiges of his strength , placing his hopes on the statue . With a final twist of his body , he threw himself at the feet of the statue with a book in its hands . Facing the Statue of God that was heading toward him , he realized he had no strength left to move . Panting heavily , he looked at the face of the Statue of God . As if made worse by his persistent resistance , the anger in the face that looked down upon Jinwoo was greatly magnified . It stopped before Jinwoo . Faced with a giant as tall as a building , Jinwoo struggled to breathe . ' Guess I'm a cornered rat ... ' The Statue of God simply continued to stare . This is the end ... ' Certain of his impending doom , Jinwoo saw his death in the eyes that were looking down at him . In that moment , he heard a beautiful and melodious singing coming from behind him . With effort , he turned and looked at its source . The statue that he was resting on was now singing with a holy voice ; its sound echoing thro ughout the temple . Looking back , Jinwoo saw the Statue of God's face starting to relax . The traces of its demonic rage disappeared as the Statue's face returned to its original emotionless visage . As the statues ' music ended , the Statue of God turned and returned to its seat , appearing as if nothing had happened . BOOM ! The sound of the giant sitting down rang throughout the temple . " Hah ... Hah ... Are ... we ... safe ... ? " Jinwoo faintly smiled through his heavy breaths . Juhee quickly ran to him " Jinwoo ! " Having reached him after running with all her might , Juhee collapsed next to him in tears . " Oh my god ... oh my god ... " She used all the mana at her disposal and tried every healing magic she knew . But it had no effect . One by one , the scattered Hunters gathered before Jinwoo . Their expressions equally dark . " Oh no ... Jinwoo ... " Amidst their pitying looks and words , Juhee's tears flowed unceasingly . Why are they looking at me like that ? ' Jinwoo wanted to ask , but he lacked the energy to speak . So , he tried to gather his strength and stand up . " ? " A pool of blood had gathered where he was sitting . Jinwoo finally was able to understand the situation he was in . " Ah ... " His right leg had disappeared below the knees . He looked across the room to the statue holding a shield . The base of the shield was covered in blood . His missing leg below it . He turned and saw blood dripping down from Juhee's nose . Her body had reached its limits . A B - rank Hunter's healing was insufficient for the regeneration of a body part . Yet she continued , her efforts like collecting water with a broken pitcher . And as she continued , both her mana and vitality quickly decreased . " It's okay , Juhee . You can stop now ... " " No ! I can heal this ! I'll heal you ! " The Hunters watched the pair with pity . Of the seventeen that entered , only six remained . And of the six , two had received serious injuries . Mr. Song and his arm , and now Jinwoo with his leg . Although their lives were saved , no one could put on a smile . Suddenly , a thundering noise rang throughout the temple . At its center , the ground with the magic circle inscribed upon it started rising , forming a platform . Jinwoo realized the final trial had arrived . Prove your Faith ... ' He had already been contemplating its meaning .
