Terrestrial Savior Archetype - T.S.A Chapter 8 (part 2): Early Departure (2)

Now, Jeong-woo felt like he understood how this competition system worked.

If he wanted to live for a long time, he had to maintain a position within the top 50, no matter what.

This first channel was not just a mere chat window for the saviors.

It was the only passage through which he could communicate with those ranked within the top 5.

Why was communication with them important?

There was only one reason—they were capable of closing off gates.

By sticking around this channel, he could know which gates in certain areas had disappeared or were going to disappear.

‘Of course, I’m currently ranked second. But it’s just a facade. I haven’t been able to get close to any gates yet. But someday, a proper ranking will be determined…’

How many wicked individuals were there in the world?

If they had their own thoughts, they would probably be deducing the same thing as he was.

In other words, formidable individuals would soon aim for the top ranks.

They would probably gather saviors like collecting insects.

At this rate, he couldn’t figure out how much he should concede in the rankings.

Jeong-woo felt his shirt damp with cold sweat.

“Your complexion has been continuously gloomy since a while ago. Are you okay?”

Team Leader Jo, who had been glancing at the rear seat all along, turned back to look at him.

Jeong-woo was about to say he was fine when suddenly…

Honk!

Unexpectedly, a horn blared from the back.

“……”

Jeong-woo closed his mouth and looked back.

Honk. Honk!

Honk!

It was a mid-sized sedan waiting two cars behind in the traffic jam, honking impatiently at the car in front.

They were venting their frustration on the car in front due to the slow progress.

Honk!

The horn continued to sound.

The savior’s expression also furrowed deeply.

‘……Looks like it’s starting. Everyone’s patience has reached its limit. However, I wonder if it’s safe to do this here…’

His words were spot on. They were not too far from the company building where they had encountered the cleaner.

This was still a dangerous area.

Honk, honk!

The continuous horn blasts.

The cars were still moving at a snail’s pace, and other drivers from both sides began to look back.

“……”

Honk!

The continuous honking.

“That idiot.”

Jeong-woo, unable to endure it any longer, opened the rear seat door.

Thump!

“Huh…?”

Surprised, Sun-woong leaned out of the driver’s seat window, but Jeong-woo was already running towards the problematic car.

It seemed like the guy didn’t expect him to chase after him, as he stopped honking after giving one final press.

Honk…

Jeong-woo tapped on the driver’s side window with the back of his hand.

The guy inside seemed to hesitate for a moment before slowly rolling down the window. Whirrr…

The first thing that caught Jeong-woo’s eyes was the vertical crease on the guy’s forehead.

Then he noticed the short side hair and well-developed temporal muscles.

He looked to be in his late thirties.

His first words were very clear, befitting his impression of being a choleric person.

“What’s with the audacious brat?”

Trying to suppress his anger and send him away.

The guy held a phone in his left hand, and it seemed to be an urgent call from home.

He must have been in a hurry to get back, just like the employees Jeong-woo had seen at the office in the morning.

‘He was honking at me while he was also in a position to return safely…?’

It was probably an action born out of ignorance, but Jeong-woo found it difficult to contain his rising anger.

At the same time, he felt frustrated and helpless. Explaining to this man why he shouldn’t have honked would be an uphill battle.

Then, as if on cue, the essence within him activated automatically.

‘What… This isn’t a dangerous situation right now, why is it activating…?’

It felt as if someone was urging him to kill this man and resolve the issue.

The already ignited essence burned fiercely, as if it would melt his entire body.

“…… Uh!”

“Huh? What the hell, man?”
