It shows the points you’ll get once the game ends. Yuan, intrigued, spoke to the Blue Dot.7b62a33e7756c6ee

“Oh, right. How many points did you earn, Blue Dot? I think I got around a thousand points for assisting in defeating ten enemies.”a310c3dd1ac86ba4

“I got 5,000 points for direct kills.”d0acc9b00b5c27d1

“So there’s exactly a fivefold difference between assisting and killing. But still, 5,000 points for killing ten people isn’t as much as I thought…?”a05bb0d8ea3bfa41

“Not much? Little by little, it adds up. If you sweep through like this twice, that’s 10,000 points, and if you repeat that a hundred times per round, that’s a million points. With that, you can buy at least one of the cheapest calamities, right?”753cedb1fbb0cab4

Blue Dot said with a relaxed smile. Repeating it a hundred times, isn’t that like saying you’ll die a hundred times? Honestly, Yuan was more scared of Blue Dot’s nonchalant attitude than the weight of the number 1,000,000 points.c97fa9c68b0b2385

Well, if you stay in a place like this for a long time, it’s natural for the fear of death to fade. Killing others and dying yourself are just means to an end. It’s not like you’re stubbornly refusing to die, so it’s fair in a way, but is it really okay to get used to this…?bfe8a090cf701e26

While Yuan was lost 4e8680d1bb in such thoughts, Blue 3cc95dcf76 Dot lightly laughed and e42bcd4a7f changed the subject.50fda4bca1f04a75

“After using the power of a calamity, the aftereffects hit you. In my case, I can’t move my arms for a while. Well, think of it as a penalty for not going solo too much.”3710782e6c8bda0b

“A penalty? It’s not even free, and it costs millions of points, that’s too much….”a3a89aaef5d496ef

“But there’s nothing you can do, right? The ones hosting this ‘survival game’ don’t like it when someone wins unilaterally. They think it’s more fun if even a beginner has a chance to turn the tables.”24f273dec76f83df

Are they trying to 40a71179cb ensure fairness? Thinking that way, Yuan 66a2d8d1cc nodded as if he 76d102050c understood. Without such penalties, someone 22c8db5a2c like the Red Man 39896d7472 would be unbeatable no c8507cdf30 matter what.dfaa2e9e300a704f

‘Maybe that guy also suffers from aftereffects after fighting for a long time?’9c2e937d381f3bd2

If even the seemingly invincible Red Man has a weakness, it must be those aftereffects. Of course, Yuan learned from his first death, so he doesn’t plan to mock or do anything mean to him when he’s incapacitated….8e9a63d4ee5d0375

But thinking that Blue Dot won’t be able to move for a while made Yuan a bit nervous. Up until now, they were able to earn points thanks to Blue Dot’s calamity. While suffering from aftereffects, they obviously can’t use the power of the calamity, so if someone attacks….ccea53b6e9236587

But why is it?217a258d7875f842

Blue Dot, who said he wouldn’t be able to move his arms due to aftereffects, repeatedly opened and closed his palms with a puzzled look.3bbbabbec40896a7

“But that’s strange? Usually, after dealing with three or four teams, the aftereffects should hit, but this time, even after taking down five teams, why…?”e50c33bcee3d2ea5

Could it be that there are no aftereffects in this game? Or are they just coming a bit late? Yuan was also puzzled, but then he noticed Blue Dot’s expression turning awkward as he looked up at his face.f574c15221705740

Blue Dot suddenly turned pale and supported Yuan. Why is my face…? Surprised by his companion’s words, Yuan instinctively touched his face and was startled by the almost burning heat he felt on his palm.41f1654195949ebc

“Your scar is spreading! Hey, is there something wrong with your body?”90ae4b3ae84dca90

It was right after that when he sensed something was off. The cheek with the scar suddenly heated up, and before he could do anything, that heat spread throughout his body. Yuan tried to touch his face again, breathing heavily, but there was a problem. His arms wouldn’t move properly. His legs and other body parts were fine, though.c2fae34b7dedad9a

“I don’t think so! You countered all the enemy’s attacks, Blue Dot!”34745aea6e53b591

It should be Blue Dot who can’t move his arms, but he’s supporting Yuan just fine. Meanwhile, Yuan’s arms wouldn’t budge, as if they were wooden logs attached to him. And maybe it was just his imagination, but it seemed like the light he saw in Blue Dot’s stain earlier was faintly wriggling in Yuan’s arms….f5e67ea3eab5f3fb

That’s when it happened.08bcfed30f99557b

With a sensation as if someone was whispering an unknown sound in his head, a new phrase was added to the place where the wanderer’s information was written.f6e3a4d05116b1a0

[You’ve received a hint about your specialty!]

[Crimson Disease Terminal Stage: This disease is related to calamities. Try getting close to a being with a calamity or the Core of Calamity!]

So, this is because of that Crimson Disease specialty…? Panting and racking his brain, Yuan soon came up with a hypothesis.66d5e742c8595c8b

“Uh, now that I think about it, it seems like it’s because of my specialty! It feels like I’m absorbing the aftereffects from your side?”bdd3fd6af075581b

“Absorbing my aftereffects? What are you talking about? Does that even make sense?”4afd8369a4dcd44f

“Wow, that’s amazing. What kind of specialty is that?”47aa01a793a9f697

Blue Dot’s mouth hung open in disbelief. Of course, Yuan’s hypothesis was still just in the realm of speculation, but Yuan was confident that his guess wasn’t far off.fe566414edf515ca

Even though he had met the Red Man several times, the scar had never reacted. Probably because the Red Man hadn’t used the Core of Calamity to the extent of causing aftereffects. It was only when Blue Dot had fought enough and was suffering from aftereffects that he got the first hint, so this is definitely a specialty related to calamity aftereffects.68e30caee5715f66

But as 365c1e6701 soon as d24f7aee05 he thought bfd11a683f that far, ec9a387a4a Yuan felt 4b43647f87 a bit 762f3c3aac deflated.ee590a18da39fb8d

‘A specialty that absorbs others’ calamity aftereffects, what kind of thing is that…?’afb4dab16b37c0ec

It seemed like a 51126a8c07 specialty that only benefited aa8d7b0659 others. While it was 5778301d93 good to get 99fe5ce1b8 a hint about 763ba7b0a7 his specialty, the bb73aba265 more he thought e1daf75d41 about it, the 51a941e117 more it felt 94fd541d82 like he was 03a8161b57 at a loss, db03e7f014 leaving him feeling 07542c185e uneasy.91aa70e78a92d531

Only then did he understand why the shopkeeper told him to hide the disease. While people around him would benefit, Yuan himself would be taking on others’ penalties, making it a specialty that could easily be exploited by others. It would be better not to reveal his specialty, like Lork or the Red Man.c43eb3c6dcf75a6d

‘Oh no, did I tell Blue Dot for no reason?’9a28331f0120ce59

Initially, he had spoken without thinking due to the overwhelming confusion, but if Blue Dot spread the word, it could lead to trouble. Although Blue Dot seemed like a good person, it was still uncertain if he would remain a good person when he wasn’t on the same team.88a3d22395ef6d78

What should he do, he couldn’t take back what he had already said. Still, since it had come to this, Yuan decided to trust that the other person might be a good person and cautiously opened his mouth.754b0ba4a386987c

But something was strange. Blue Dot, who had been showing interest in Yuan’s specialty and sparkling his eyes, suddenly turned his head away with a pale face, staring at something.6508128b1a77634a

Could it be that an enemy came at this timing? No, but if an enemy had come, Blue Dot would be able to handle it, so there was no reason to be so serious…. Yuan turned his head to see where Blue Dot was looking and couldn’t believe his eyes.5cc994817d3018e0

“…What is that? A dark cloud?”bb80735fff576f3d

Beyond the sky where 2c519da007 the sun was setting, 2e25bd60b1 pitch-black clouds were gathering 33f150339f as if night was 66335d766a already approaching. Simply forming 945e9da28e dark clouds 45fde79ae8 might just 6a91d6973f be a faf8c3faec normal natural 835d1b5168 phenomenon. But those clouds 8eea2d26a5 were definitely a a2a0d3d67d sight that would fc05da1f9c make Blue Dot 0d1dd22fd0 lose his composure d9808ffd84 and stare.7d767bc66fe7d391

Ordinary dark clouds don’t grow in size at such a rapid pace. They don’t wrap themselves in sharp lightning like barbed wire, pour down bright red rain, or have the sound of a roaring beast instead of thunder.2b18a7789f4a7cda

“Does that make any sense? There’s no way the weather would change so drastically without any reason! As far as I know, there’s only one reason for such a big weather change….”03fb881c13afb867

Blue Dot muttered in a voice that had lost its composure. Completely absorbed by the dark clouds, his kindness seemed to have flown away, and he didn’t explain further, but somehow Yuan felt like he knew the reason. Eren Noeul had explained it last time.1a792ba2992c455e

“Could it be that the windmill’s machinery has been activated?”8c729c1cb9f8e33b

Esanok, come to think of it, he had heard that person had teamed up with Blue Dot in the last match. If Blue Dot had given up on the strategy after meeting Yuan, but Esanok hadn’t, then it was just about time for the windmill to be activated.7eea5d0cd185973c

Blue Dot shouted excitedly, but to Yuan, it didn’t seem like something to be happy about. Those dark clouds spreading with tremendous momentum didn’t seem like they would stay just in Maze Village. The bright red rain pouring down at an abnormal rate wasn’t being absorbed into the ground and was starting to flood, with the red water slowly creeping towards the lakeside.b9abab511c2b770f

Yuan realized at that moment. If a massive storm hit Maze Village, making escape impossible, the surrounding areas wouldn’t be unaffected either.09d8bf11f08aa814

“If we’re not careful, we’ll get caught up in it too! Hey, let’s quickly cross the bridge to the next area….”50315a807022945a

The dark clouds hadn’t invaded this side yet. If they escaped before anything happened, they could safely move to the night area. Yuan judged this and urged Blue Dot.801ca4994426ca26
