Where are the powerstones?

Did you all forgot about the bonus chaps?

........

'The moment you are weaker than me I will end you,' Nam-woon thought while looking at Haru's back who was walking in the front as others followed behind.

'One fish has been caught,' Queresha thought while looking at Nam-woon.

The tunnel was dimly lit as they moved forward, fortunately, they didn't encounter any ground rats till now. But that didn't lower their stress. Everyone was on edge with each step looking around carefully so that they don't get caught by surprise.

But it looks like their luck isn't going to help them as they encountered three mole-like that were the size of a dog eating three human corpses. The word human is used because the state the corpses were in made it hard to distinguish if they were male or female

"Gweh," Myung-oh couldn't hold it in and puked although he didn't have much in his stomach as Sang-ah covered Gil-young not wanting the young kid to see the scene. His voice alerted the rats as they turned around and looked at them.

Kiiek*

One of the rats shrieked and the three ran toward them at full speed.

"Oh! here comes the mob monster, Die," Nam-woon shouted as he ran forward before Haru could say anything.

Nam-woon was strengthening his body with Blackening skill and swung his knife down at the rat on the left side. With his strength stat at level 10 he had the strength of about 12 adult men but….

CLANK*

Nam-woon's knife hit the rat's long nails and bounced off. The rat used this time to swing its other claw at Nam-woon's leg.

SLASH*

"Shit!" Thanks to the blackening skill the cut was only shallow and on the flesh but it wasn't meant to be a strong attack. The only purpose of this attack was to distract Nam-woon.

"Hey look out," Hyun-sung shouted causing Nam-woon to look to his right, he saw the rat who was jumping towards him wanting to bite his neck while the rat in front of him was about to bite his knee.

'I can only block one,' Nam-woon thought as he heard a voice.

"The left one," Nam-woon swung his knife at the left one without hesitation stabbing the rat's right eye.

WHAM* CRUCNH* BANG*

Nam-woon didn't need to turn his head to know what happened to the rat. He heard bones breaking that was all he needed to hear, so he moved towards the rat that was writhing in pain in front of him and stabbed its head with his knife. The skull was hard and it took him a few stabs to crack it killing the rat, Nam-woon has blood splatters on his clothes and turned around to look at Haru.

WHAM*

Haru swung his fist hitting the rat's temple and smashing it in along with its brain.

'How is my head alright after being hit by him?' Nam-woon touched his head as he looked at the two rats whose heads were smashed in by a single hit.

"Nam-woon, Do you have something to say?" Haru said as he turned around to look at him with a smile.

"Ah, It won't happen again," Nam-woon stood straight and said reflexively after seeing the rats he didn't want to get hit on the head again even if he knew that Haru wouldn't hit him with full force.

"Sigh* just be careful, How is your wound?" Haru asked.

"It is okayyyy," Nam-woon staggered and fell down on his butt.

"The wound is turning purple, it looks like the rat had poison in its claws," Queresha said as she looked at the wound.

"I only feel a little numb in my leg," Nam-woon said like it was no big deal.

"And what if it gets worse? Queresha can you do it?" Haru ignored Nam-woon and asked Queresha a question that went over others' heads. But something clicked in Nam-woon's head.

"…I think," Queresha said as she rolled up Nam-woon's pants up to get a better view of the wound on his calf, seeing that it was shallow she moved her hand near the wound.

"W-what are you doing?" Nam-woon was a bit flustered since Queresha was close. This was certainly the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman up close.

The others also came closer not understanding what was happening but before they could ask a dim golden light came from Queresha's hand and Nam-woon's wound started to close slowly.

Everyone looked in shock as the purple wound closed without even leaving a scar, it disappeared like it never happened in the first place.

"Healing magic? Damn this is neat as fuck," Nam-woon stood up and started to move around with an awed look.

"Queresha-ssi did you use a skill?" Hyun-sung asked.

"Yes, it took me some time to figure out how to use it given the nature, but looks like it can work," Queresha said while looking at everyone.

"Woah, you are a saint character? As the vanguard, I will protect you no need to worry," Nam-woon said with a smile.

"That would be unnecessary but thank you for the kind gesture," Queresha said plainly.

"So you're the cold type, huh," Nam-woon hit his palm with his fist as he nodded while Queresha didn't bother with him.

'He might get along with Jin-ah,' Queresha thought since Jin-ah talked about games all day with Alea and sometimes with Hae-in.

"Hey, if you could do that why didn't you heal me?" Myung-oh asked with a frown.

"You seemed to be doing pretty well on one leg so I thought it wasn't necessary," Queresha said and she wasn't wrong Myung-oh was faster on one leg than on two.

"W-Why you…." Myung-oh was about to throw a fit but Haru stepped in.

"Resha heal him quickly we need to get going," Haru said and Queresha nodded quickly healing Myung-oh as they moved along the tracks.

Before long they came across a black screen, no matter what they could see past it.

"I-Is this a dead end," Myung-oh trembled.

"Stop being such a bitch, will you? look even the kid is not scared," Nam-woon's patience was running thin as Myung-oh kept on prattling like a child, when the legit child in the group didn't even show a reaction when they saw the rats munching on humans before.

"I think this a barrier to keep the monster outside, Just to be safe I'll go in first," Haru said as he phased through the black barrier before anyone can stop him.

--------

[Sub Scenario – Hunting For Food]

--------

Everyone was shocked as they looked at the panel that popped in front of them.

"Eat a monster?" Nam-woon muttered as he thought back to the rat from before thinking if it can be eaten.

"Can they be eaten?" Sang-ah didn't know what to say about the idea of eating that rat from before.

"It is safe come on, We will talk about the scenario after we rest a little," Haru's head popped out of the barrier making Myung-oh jump in fright. But at this point, he was ignored by everyone.

Every one passed through the barrier easily and saw the station lights; it was just a little distance away from them.

"Haru can you not do things without thinking?" Queresha asked with a worried look.

"Well, I had a gut feeling that it would be alright, anyway it was my idea to come through the tunnel anyway, so I can't have someone else do it for me," Haru said while shaking his head as Queresha followed quietly.

'It doesn't really matter since I am not really in danger,' Haru thought as he felt the earnest eyes of the people behind him.

[Some constellations are awed at your foolishness.]

[The Constellation 'Demonic Judge of Fire' is impressed by your sense of responsibility.]

[100 coins have been sponsored.]

[The Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is looking at you as if you are stupid.]

[The Constellation 'Noble Child Of The Sun' is telling you to listen to your companion's advice.]

Haru once again ignored the messages as they reached the station in silence.

"Looks like this place is lively," Haru said as they all heard voices from the station.

Haru climbed up to the platform and then helped Queresha and Sang-ah up along with the old lady and Gil-young.

"...Are these all of the people who came here?" Sang-ah spoke as she saw nearly 100 people on the platform; it wasn't what one would call many by a stretch considering the population of Seoul but no one decided to talk about it.

"There should be more people near the exits, and it isn't like this is the only place that is underground, many people might be hiding somewhere else, well we should look for a place to settle down for now," Haru said as the others nodded seeing Haru wanted them to calm down for a bit so they started to look for a place.
