In the Name of God - Chapter 4.1
#1
“You useless bastard!”
A heavy kick came flying. The weak body of the young man, hit squarely in the stomach, rolled across the rough cave floor.
“Ugh!”
The fallen youth clutched his aching stomach with both arms. His curled-up, shrimp-like body looked even smaller and fragile.
Yet the kicks continued.
“Fuck! What the hell is this? Did you leave the supplies behind while running away? All the items and loot were in there, and you just threw them away like that?!”
“S-Sorry…! Ugh!”
“Sorry doesn’t cut it, you worthless piece of trash!”
The bald man’s face twisted into a demonic snarl as he cursed. The two men standing behind him wore equally fierce expressions.
“Even if the loot is gone, you should have taken the return stone! At this rate, we won’t get out of this damned maze and we’ll all die!”
“Hah… I knew 9th-rank guys were idiots, but this one is serious. Fuck, hit him more. Keep hitting!”
“Ugh! Aah! P-Please stop…! Gah!”
Now, all three men unleashed relentless violence on the young man.
Head, chest, stomach, both arms, both legs.
No part of his body was spared, and no area went unbled. Because all three were physically powerful awakened fighters, the fragile young man, lacking even basic muscle mass, could not withstand it.
The sound of ribs cracking echoed as someone stomped on him with a combat boot. While he painfully tried to swallow his breath, another kicked his jaw upward, shaking his head, and someone else stomped on his left wrist.
The young man, screaming and groaning in extreme pain, felt some injustice.
‘I told you to carry your own stuff!’
Immediately after entering the maze-shaped dungeon, seven party members, including these three men, had dumped all their supplies onto him.
Simply because he was the lowest-ranking 9th-rank awakened fighter.
Of course, it was not only his low rank. His messy hair, shabby appearance, and fragile body also contributed to them underestimating him.
For this reason, the young man became the burden-bearer for the seven party members, carrying their supplies without ever experiencing proper combat.
The problem began right after they defeated a mid-boss monster.
When the party members finished off the monster and tried to catch their breath, the wall behind them collapsed, revealing a menacing boss monster.
The boss’s strength was in a completely different league from the previous monster. Even though everyone had been off-guard, no one expected the four party members to be flattened in an instant by the boss’s swinging wooden club.
The three men present were the ones who had fled without looking back, abandoning their party members.
Especially the bald man, who was the most aggressive toward the young man, had thrown him to the boss monster to buy time for his own escape.
The fact that the young man had survived at all was a miracle. How could he possibly carry all the party’s supplies in that situation?
Even though they knew this, the three men rained curses and violence on him, simply to vent their anxiety and fear.
“Fuck! Fuuuuck! You stupid idiot! How the hell are you going to escape now?!”
As they yelled and beat him, they soon fell silent.
Thud. Boom!
With a heavy roar, the ground shook. The young man, beaten so badly that he could not even move a finger, could not tell whether the sound was the ground shaking or his brain rattling.
It did not take long for him to realize that the roar came from the heavy steps of something large.
“Hey… Hey hey…! Isn’t that, the boss mob’s footsteps?!”
“F-Fuck! W-What do we do! It’s getting closer!”
The men panicked, searching for an escape route. The maze was complicated, but there were only two paths at this point.
Either way, the route that did not carry the loud noise was the only viable escape, so there was no need to hesitate.
However, the bald man did not run immediately. He looked down at the fallen youth. His eyes, staring at the bloodied young man, were ice-cold.
“Hey, use that provocation item you took earlier.”
