Death League 101: I'm Dead In 10 Minutes!-Chapter 84: "Finale (2)"

The human lamp’s head bloomed like a flower and swallowed the veteran’s whole body in one go.

The moment the lamp head touched the body, the person immediately shone like a bulb but the body was also burning, slowly compressed into a hard lamp bulb.

The whole scene was so disturbing that the audiences collectively closed their eyes while the challengers’ faces turned pale.

"Damn it! Did the ruin fool us??"

They had completed the mission, but they still couldn’t leave!

The hall instantly descended into chaos as more and more "arts" broke free from the display boxes, rushing straight towards the survivors.

There were already less than thirty people here, and now, the number continued to dwindle until only the famous veterans and Leinster’s group was left.

The famous veterans such as the poison twins, and a few others who had attacked Leinster immediately joined Leinster’s small group.

"P-please, let’s work together! I-if we separate, all of us will be wiped out!"

"Okay. Just don’t backstab me or— you will see."

This is not the time for an internal strive, so Leinster generously allowed them to stay.

The group of ten people continuously killed the incoming "artworks" but their number continued to grow, as if endless.

Even worse, they could already feel the heat on their feet.

The fire had already reached the entrance of the exhibition hall.

Outside of the hall, it was thick with smoke and a blazing fire.

But some monsters from the supermarket still came all the way, as if seeking refuge in the exhibition hall.

When the Sealed Demon King boy saw the ruins blocking the entrance slowly moving with a loud groan, he subconsciously shrieked,

"Ah! B-big brother! The ruins— something is pushing the ruins!"

Leinster and the others didn’t have to know who was pushing the ruins because whoever it was, it couldn’t be a reinforcement!

"Damn it. Where do we go now? The exhibition hall has no window!"

The poison twins and the other veterans became restless, their eyes red with anxiety.

This is the most difficult ruin they had ever entered in their whole career, and yet this was not a high-ranking ruin at all!

Leinster scanned the hall with a glance and when he looked at the ceiling— a light bulb popped up above his head.

"Hey! We can just blast the ceiling! Quick! Half of you continue stalling the monsters and the rest of us blast the ceiling!"

The veterans’ dim eyes immediately lit up.

Yes. How did they not think about this? They were too used to the idea of not casually destroying anything inside the ruins!

The veterans with a big damage skill and those with explosion-related skills immediately aimed their skills at the ceiling not far from where they were standing.

"Here we go!"

"Three, two, one— "

BOOM!

The skills hit the exact same spot and it exploded with a loud noise.

Rumble. Rumble.

Debris and dust rained down the ceiling, some even hitting the surrounding monsters.

With the thick cloud of dust covering the area, the challengers were perfectly hidden, giving them a chance to move.

"Cough! Cough! Cough! Hurry! Anyone with ropes or similar items!"

"Is there anyone with a flight skill? Or just get some ladders from intact display boxes!"

"Use the monsters’ dead bodies too! Pile them up high!"

Someone had a rope-like item and immediately tossed it into the hole in the ceiling, but then...

The rope hit the pitch black sky outside and actually bounced.

It bounced back.

....?

What? Isn’t that supposed to be the sky?!

Don’t tell them...

"Is that the corrosive, living darkness that we had inside the mall??"

The exhibition hall had a lot of lighting, thus there was no darkness.

But the moment they tried to leave the hall, the darkness....was there.

"Do you guys still have the oil lamps??"

The person who threw the rope asked anxiously but everyone looked around and realized that in the chaos, only Leinster and his group still had one or two oil lamps.

Definitely not enough for everyone.

A thick tension slowly spread among the survivors and the audience could even feel this tension.

[Damn it, don’t fight among yourselves! Just ask the first person to climb with the oil lamp and continue to shine it upon the others as everyone climbs up!]

[What if the first person betrayed...you know, I heard rumors that the smaller the number of survivors, the bigger the rewards for each survivor.] 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

[Fck, fck, fck. These are human lives! Everyone, don’t be greedy or I’ll treat you guys like that criminal bastard!]

[Uh, thinking again, that criminal bastard actually never backstabbed his allies.]

[Who knew if he would do that now? Don’t forget, he’s a world-class criminal!]

While the audience was arguing, Leinster calmly wrapped his chains around his oil lamp and controlled it to carefully approached the hole in the ceiling.

"I’ll check it first, guys. No need to be so wary."

Leinster’s oil lamp shone upon the dark sky beyond the ceiling and indeed, the darkness squirmed, moving away from the oil lamp but then...

The thing hidden behind the darkness came out.

Leinster’s eyes slowly widened and he almost had a heart attack.

The others who saw the exact same thing also turned pale, some even fell to their knees with wide eyes.

"T-this! How could this be?! Is this ruin trying to wipe us all??"

"This is unreasonable! How do we leave then?? Fck!"

"The darkness alone isn’t enough, so they add this kind of thing?? Oh fck!"

Even the veterans among the audience, including Leinster’s number one hater couldn’t help but be speechless.

[This ruin...as expected of a unique one. It’s so brutal.]

[No wonder this kind of guaranteed level up ruins only have few survivals no more than five.]

[So, what do they do now? Attack that thing and shatter it?]

[That’s the only way, but the monsters are coming closer and many of the challengers have exhausted their energy.]

[Damn it, if only that thing didn’t exist!!]

Yes. That thing blocking everyone’s path out...

Was a barrier.

A fcking barrier.
