Corpses piled up and formed a wall blocking access.

He could have passed by, but Cheonhwi, who was left with only instinct, wanted to kill everyone without leaving a single one behind, so he made a different decision.

He pulls out the red sword stuck on the top of the corpse, holds it in one hand, breaks the window, and jumps out.

At the same time, the spear thrown passed through the two people on the other side of the door.

The location where we landed was the entrance to the villa.

In this way, Cheonhwi blocked the only entrance to escape from this hell.

Gungseoseolmyo.

A cornered mouse bites a cat.

The rats, unable to wait to die like this, rushed at Cheonhwi one by one.

Among all the rats, there was one rat that stood out.

A rat whose body is stronger and sturdier than that of an ordinary person who received a reward for conquering floor 0, and has a small amount of magical power.

And yet he was still a rat.

No matter how strong the mouse is, its opponent is the cat.

Unlike Cheonhwi, who grew up risking his life in an abandoned underground parking lot on the first floor of the tower, he is the type of person who is satisfied with the reward on the 0th floor and mistakenly thinks he is strong.

The exceptional rat rushed at Cheonhwi, holding a kitchen knife in one hand and a knuckle that looked like an item in the other.

Cheonhwi’s current physical condition was such that there was a hole in his thigh, and there were many cuts and bruises on his arms and body.

“Please save me. Ugh.. Wow!”

However, the man underneath Cheonhwi had no limbs, including his left arm, which had just been pulled out.

Even the rat, which was several times stronger than others, only had a kitchen knife stuck in Cheonhwi’s thigh.

What would other rats do?

There were now only three living creatures in this villa, including the one that had been crushed.

Cheonhwi and the guy who was crushed under Cheonhwi just died of shock, so there are only two left.

I raised my head and looked at the last person who survived this villa.

A woman leaning against the bathroom wall, the floor damp from incontinence.

She remembered how cruelly Chunhwi killed people.

From the moment Cheonhwi blocked the entrance to the villa, the number of people who killed him gracefully could be counted on one hand.

As before, the point is that he pained a man by pulling out his arm when he could have just killed him.

The more he was covered in blood, the more he became a beast consumed by instinct.

“Mom…”

Cheonhwi walks slowly towards the woman.

“Mom…ah..”

A red sword gets stuck in the thigh of a woman looking for her mother.

“Ugh..up.. Kkudut..”

The woman in front of him, who was crying bitterly over death, sheds even sadder tears.

Just as he was about to cut the knife downwards and cut the woman’s legs into three.

“Stop..! Stop it, oppa!”

It was a voice that I missed so much and wanted to hear so much.

When Cheonhwi turned around, there was Suyeon, now an adult, standing there, just like the Suyeon who had stopped me five years ago when I was in middle school.

“What happened..”

When he sees Cheonhwi suddenly running towards him, he habitually prepares himself for battle.

This is because the sword that Cheonhwi was holding was an item that drove the user’s brain into a frenzy the more blood it contained.

Before I could even decide how to respond to my brother who was attacking me like an animal,

Cheonhwi grabbed Suyeon as if doing a takedown and knocked her to the floor.

From the looks of it, her brother was currently out of his mind, but Su-yeon, who thought she couldn’t hurt him with her own hands, resolved to just beat him until he came to his senses.

The entire body trembles as if overflowing with golden magic.

She had channeled all of her magical energy into defense, so for now, no one or any weapon could hurt her.

However, she could not help but be surprised by Cheonhwi’s subsequent actions.

Cheonhwi was trembling as he hugged Suyeon.

It’s like waking up from a fearful dream that you don’t even want to imagine.

His whole body was trembling and he was holding Sooyeon tightly as if he would never let her go again.

The body that shone golden light returns to its original light.

As the magical power that protected the surroundings disappears, she feels her brother hugging her so tightly that it takes her breath away.

Still, it was good.

I pat my brother’s trembling head.

Her brother’s shoulders, which had always felt big, felt small today, but Suyeon was happy in her own way because she felt like she had finally become someone she could lean on instead of relying on her brother.

As I pat her head, her trembling body gradually regains stability.

Sseuhu.. Huh..

Cheonhwi, who was pressing his face into Suyeon’s chest, takes a deep breath.

“Now…wait a minute, I’m running and I’m sweating, no!”

The woman who had been crying bitterly looking for her mother just a moment ago was now leaning against the bathroom wall, staring at the entire scene.

“…”

‘You really have to do such a damn thing.’

I was a 28-year-old single woman named A who was sad that the only thing I looked at before looking back was someone else’s love life.

I felt my dazed mind returning.

As soon as I came to my senses, I felt intense pain throughout my body.

“Ugh…”

The next thing I felt was Suyeon’s hand shaving my head.

“You can’t do it after washing..!”

I couldn’t understand this situation, so I put my head back.

He was sitting on top of Suyeon, and his entire body was covered in scars, and he turned his eyes to the excruciating pain he felt in his thighs.

“What..”

“Have you come to your senses already..? brother? Oppa!”

As soon as I saw the kitchen knife stuck in my right thigh, I surrendered myself to the excruciating pain that got worse and the dizziness that came at the same time as I felt dizzy because I had lost a lot of blood.

When I opened my eyes, it was a familiar ceiling.

It wasn’t home, it was the VIP room of the hospital where I had been admitted two days ago.

I felt someone’s hand holding my hand and turned my head.

“Are you awake?”

Red, swollen eyes, probably from crying, look at me.

“How long have I been down?”

“Day.”

“Why are you crying?”

“You don’t feel like crying?”

Laughter flowed.

“You’re smiling.. I’m glad you weren’t seriously hurt.”

“Now that I think about it, Sooyeon… where did that person go?”

“Suyeon? Su-yeon Jeong, the guild leader? Why that person?”

“Yes? No, I… How did you get to the hospital?”

“Do you know how surprised I was when I arrived home? People’s bodies overflowed from the entrance, and when I saw the police and 119 paramedics who arrived soon after carrying you away, I thought you were dead.”

“Ah..”

“They said that everyone died, without exception.. They said you were on the verge of death too, but you made it that way..? Our Cheonhwi… Is it true that you are really good at fighting?”

It was strange.

‘There was definitely Suyeon there…’

It is a memory too vivid to be considered a dream.

“Can you tell me what happened?”

I calmly organized my memories to explain to my sister what happened.

‘As soon as my sister went to work, the gunmen came to my house as if they had been waiting for her.’

‘He was hit on the head by a gunman, fell unconscious, and woke up a while later… stabbed with a sword.’

I felt a chill for a moment and looked for the spot where I was stabbed, and there wasn’t even a scar left.

‘Then.. that bastard who would kill her tried to humiliate Suyeon… and.. and..’

I couldn’t remember.

“Ugh..”

“Why? Does it hurt again? are you okay? Should I call a doctor?”

My head was pounding as I held on to memories that wouldn’t come back even when I tried.

“It’s okay.. Jeong Soo-yeon.. So what is he doing now?”

“Guild leader? suddenly? Um… this is a secret, only you know. You entered the tower.”

“Yes?”

It felt like I was hit hard on the head.

“That too alone.”

“..Yes?”

“This is a story that we have been told within the guild to never leak to the outside world, but I’m only telling this to you. Don’t tell anyone.”

“No…no, wait a moment. You entered the second floor of the tower alone?”

“Everyone was against it even internally, so what can we do? If the guild leader says he will do it, he will do it. We don’t have the authority to stop it.”

After that, something continued to be said.

What on earth happened at home, who cleaned up the body in the house, whether my sister went to work well, and why she didn’t come to work today.

I didn’t remember much about what happened at home, the body was cleaned up by Hyeseong Guild employees, and my sister decided to rest until this morning even though she took the entire day off yesterday.

Soon my sister says she has to go now because she has to go to work in the afternoon.

“Because I took my vacation yesterday, I’m going to have to work overtime today. I’m just going to stay up all night at work and work until tomorrow, so don’t wait for me. I’ll come back in two days.”

“That’s a violation of the labor law, sister.”

“It’s okay, Hyesung Guild is above the law.”

I was a little scared because it really seemed like that.

side

Sweet lips crashed into mine.

“I think I’m almost completely better, but I’ll be discharged after a little while. Don’t leave the hospital right away, but call the doctor later and check your condition one more time. I’ll be back soon, my baby.”

My sister left the hospital room and only silence remained.

actually.

To be really honest, I shouldn’t have done this, but during every moment I was talking to my sister, I kept thinking about Suyeon, who went into the second floor of the tower alone.

‘You said you went in this morning.. Was it about 5 hours at most?’

I thought I had given up on my feelings, but I promised myself that I would not get entangled any more.

I was nervous when I heard that I had to go into such a dangerous place alone.

“Yes. I have something to ask.”

I had to ask something. Sooyeon was clearly beneath me that day.

and.

‘I can’t believe no one was alive…’

At that time, I clearly remember that when I was sitting on Sooyeon, there was a woman behind me.

‘I need to hear from her.’

There was something I needed to find out about that woman.

What happened while I was losing my memory.

With that thought in mind, I looked down at my phone.

– (New) A berserker who has lost his mind.

‘A berserker who has lost his mind.’

Given the circumstances, it was clear that I had no memory of it because it was related to a ‘berserker who lost his mind’, and there was a possibility that the last woman who was alive until Soo-yeon was taken somewhere knew something about it.

“Ha..”

I slowly get up from the bed and check my body condition.

I am once again amazed by the resilience that seems to transcend humanity.

This is enough.

“Chivalry, Suyeon Jeong.”
