MTL - Solo Leveling (Only I Level Up)-Chapter 8

Then he started to run away desperately, his heart was about to burst, and his back was already soaked in sweat.

‘Why?! Why can’t it work here?!’

Cheng Jin-Woo stared resentfully at the stone statue in front of him, but the stone statue didn't move.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The idol is approaching with terrifying speed.

Cheng Jin-Woo and the statue were at the two ends of the space just now, but now the statue is close at hand.

Cheng Jin-Woo swallowed his saliva.

"Is it because Xiaoxi and I are here that the stone statue doesn't play?"

Other than that, he couldn't think of any other reason.

Since the other stone statues are already playing automatically, there's no reason it should be different.

'There is no time to think so much. '

Cheng Jinyu put Xiaoxi down, ready to run to other places.

"Xiao, Jin-Woo..."

Xiaoxi grabbed his sleeve in fear.

Seong Jin-Woo calmly whispered in her ear.

"If we stay together, both of us will die."

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Xiaoxi's fingers holding onto her clothes were trembling.

But there was no time to explain it to her in detail.

Cheng Jin-Woo carefully took her hand away and started to run in the opposite direction with all his strength.

Boom, boom, boom...

Cheng Jinyu glanced back, and the stone statue behind Xiaoxi began to knock with a slow and steady rhythm.

'Very good.......'

Now there is only one thing left: to run smoothly to another musical instrument statue.

Only Cheng Jin-Woo was left without the protection of the musical instrument stone statue.

So all the anger of the idol was directed at Cheng Jin-Woo alone.

Cheng Jin-Woo tried his best to avoid the huge building-like feet of the statue, and shuttled back and forth in the room.

Boom!

Boom!

He accidentally fell and rolled in a circle, but fortunately, he was not crushed into meat paste by the feet of the statue.

"Ha, ha, ha..."

Although he was only an E-rank hunter, his good physical fitness as a melee hunter came in handy at this time.

'Farther! Farther away!! '

While paying attention to the movement of the statue, Cheng Jin-Woo accumulated strength in his legs.

He gradually picked up speed.

It is only a few steps away from the stone statue.

"No! Not that!!"

Song Zhiguo yelled at him.

Cheng Xiaoyu, who was only focused on avoiding the **** statue, heard Song Zhiguo's voice, and hurriedly turned his head to look in front of him.

"what-!!"

Isn't this a stone statue holding a musical instrument!?

What looks like a musical instrument from a distance is actually a shield.

In the next second, the shield ruthlessly swung towards him.

"what!"

Cheng Jin-Woo hurriedly rolled to the side.

"Uh ah ah!"

Xiaoxi screamed.

Cheng Xiaoyu, who finally stopped, quickly looked up and found that the statue had already arrived in front of him.

"It's really... one thing after another..."

I don't know if he was injured while rolling, blood flowed from his forehead, blurring Cheng Jin-Woo's vision.

His eyesight was affected and he couldn't see the front clearly at all.

Cheng Jin-Woo looked around for the stone statue of the musical instrument.

'Instruments...instruments...'

However, no matter how he searched, he did not find any stone statues of musical instruments.

The statue raised its foot towards Cheng Jin-Woo.

"Aha!"

Boom!

Cheng Jin-Woo flew to the side again, avoiding the statue's huge feet with difficulty.

Boom!

He's really reaching his limit.

He suddenly felt a violent dizziness and could no longer maintain his balance.

'Please...'

If there is a **** in the world, he thinks he would really pray.

At this moment, a stone statue without a weapon or musical instrument appeared in Cheng Jin-Woo's field of vision.

'That is........? '

Cheng Jin-Woo pinned his last hope on this stone statue. Cheng Jin-Woo slowly crawled towards the stone statue.

Then, with the last of his strength, he rolled over and lay down on the ground.

He didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.

"Ha, ha, ha..."

Cheng Jin-Woo looked at the approaching idol, panting violently.

Probably because he was irritated by Cheng Jin-Woo who was running around, compared to before, the expression on the stone statue's face seemed to be more distorted.

The idol stood in front of Cheng Jin-Woo.

Looking at the huge statue like a tall building in front of him, Cheng Jin-Woo felt like he was about to suffocate.

"Hoo, hoo..."

In its eyes, maybe he is the turtle in the urn, right?

But the idol just looked down at him.

'it's over......'

Seeing the idol staring into his eyes, Cheng Jin-Woo felt like he was going to die.

at this time.

woo woo woo

A beautiful and ethereal voice came from behind him.

Cheng Jin-Woo turned his head, wanting to see what was going on.

woo woo woo woo woo

The lips of the stone statue holding the book were slightly opened, and a wonderful carol poured out.

Woo one? Yiming, woo—

The statue's expression gradually returned to calm. The face distorted by anger finally returned to its original shape.

At the end of the song, the idol turned around suddenly, as if nothing had happened, and returned to its throne.

Boom!

The sound of the statue sitting down resounded throughout the space.

"Hoo, hoo... Reluctantly, I succeeded..."

Cheng Jin-Woo hooked the corner of his mouth.

Xiaoxi ran over from the opposite direction.

"Xin-Woo!!"

She ran over with all her strength, knelt down beside Cheng Jin-Woo with tears streaming down her face.

"What should I do...how should I do...?"

She used all her magic power to heal Seong Jin-Woo.

But nothing works.

The hunters who were originally scattered surrounded Cheng Jin-Woo one by one.

They all had annoyance on their faces.

"Xin-Woo... what should I do..."

Xiaoxi beside her was crying in pain.

What's wrong everyone?

Cheng Jin-Woo opened his mouth, wanting to ask everyone what happened, but he couldn't make a sound.

There was no other way, Cheng Jin-Woo had no choice but to prop up his upper body.

"...?"

He found that his lower body was covered in blood.

Only then did he realize what had happened to him.

"what......"

His entire right calf was severed at the knee.

Cheng Jin-Woo looked at the stone statue holding a shield. On the bottom of the shield, bloodstains are clearly visible.

His right calf was there.

tick.

tick.

It was Xiaoxi who had a nosebleed, and her body had reached its limit.

The abilities of Class B healers are simply not enough to restore missing limbs.

No matter what you do, it's just useless.

In the end, her magic power quickly dried up.

"Enough...Xiaoxi, stop..."

"I will definitely cure you!! I will definitely make you back to normal!"
