What is that thing?

-We gotta get outta here! -Wait! It might attack if we move!

-Then what do we do? -There has to be a way to escape!

-Don't expect me to find it! -Two of us just died!

Everyone, stay still! I think moving makes it mad too!

Hey, hey, Joohee! Stay with me!

That was a close one.

We'd all be piles of ash right now

-if it weren't for you, kid. -Me?

You yelled because you figured it out, right?

No, sir. It was because I sensed something dangerous.

Mister Song! Your arm!

If I grit my teeth, it isn't all that bad.

But could you stop the bleeding for me?

Normally, I'd ask the party's healer to patch me up.

Ours spooks easily, though.

That's why she only does bottom rung raids despite being a B-Rank hunter.

I've raided B-Rank dungeons and lived to tell the tale a couple of times myself.

Something that insta-kills has to be an A-Rank.

If not S.

Those three commandments of the Cartenon Temple aren't there for fun.

"First, thou shalt worship God."

"Second, thou shalt praise God."

"Third, thou shalt prove thy faith."

"Those who do not follow these laws will not leave alive."

Hold on.

So when it says, "God,"

it's talking about that thing?

When the first gate appeared,

it gave rise to a number of supernatural phenomena.

The likes of which humanity could only fathom in their wildest dreams.

Those who awakened as hunters are a prime example of one such wonder.

They used their enhanced abilities to conquer the beasts

lurking in the dungeons beyond the gates.

Though their power is static from the moment it sparks to life.

To call a hunter "courageous" would be an understatement.

For the terrors they find don't merely strike fear in their hearts,

But can leave them in utter despair.

-Did you see? -Oh, that video clip?

Cuttin' it real close. Y'wanna share what almost made you late?

Yeah, no.

Hm.

Hey, your brother awakened as a hunter, right, Jinah?

He did. The powers he got only scored him an E-Rank, though,

so he does tend to come home with more wounds than treasure.

Looked like a regular mummy the other day!

But, why randomly ask about that?

No reason.

If I was a hunter, I'd make E-rank look good.

It's too strong to fight.

Meaning our objective now is to escape.

-Let's collect ourselves-- -I'm not dying in here!

No. I just landed a contract with a major guild!

Got too much going for me to bite it in this crap hole!

If that's true, then don't move!

I can do this! Speed's my specialty!

I'll get outta here, watch me!

Damn it!

That thing can end us the second it feels like it.

Yeah, we're basically bugs waiting to be vaporized.

Then, do you have any idea why it hasn't zapped us all yet?

No.

So it could kill us, but it's not.

What's weirder is any other magic beast would attack on sight.

The writing! What'd the first commandment say again?

What? Oh, the very first one was...

"Thou shall worship God."

God.

This place has its own rules.

What the heck are you doing?

Testing a theory.

Sit down, or...

You aren't done.

That isn't the look of a man who's given up yet.

We need to bow our heads toward the giant statue on the throne!

Will that actually do something?

I think you might have snapped, kid.

-So your theory was right then? -Yes, sir.

It only attacks if you're above a certain height.

We have to bow down and "worship God" like the commandment says.

This is your plan to get us out of here?

Yes. For now.

Guess it's worth a shot.

A little courtesy? That's what's gonna save us?

Damn, that's freaky!

Its face. It changed?

It isn't doing anything.

Beom-shik! Why are you standing?

You see? I'm still okay!

It worked.

So that really was all it took.

-No more lasers? -Good riddance!

-We made it! -We can go home!

No, not quite.

I thought this nightmare was over!

C'mon, Jinwoo, what's next? Does your plan have a second phase?

Well, not really, no.

But if we keep obeying those commandments, I have a hunch we'll be all right.

Meaning the next step should be to praise God!

-Praise the giant? -How exactly?

I might have the answer.

As a dedicated student of ethnology, I have a few extolments for Gods

tucked away in the back of my mind.

O mighty Lord. Praise be to you who brings order to the world...

I can't tell if it's working.

Looks like it's slowing down, so maybe?

Show us the righteous path of truth.

That prayer. Wait.

Thy will be done, O Lord, for only you know the way.

No! It doesn't apply to this God!

We revere and honor your holy name!

O wondrous ruler, hear my cries!

For it's in your name I--

-Shit! -Let's move!

Everyone, spread out till we come up with something.

Take my hand!

No way I'm dying like this.

I've got a family waiting for me.

I think the safest place is up against the walls.

No, Beom-shik! Look behind you!

Beom-shik!

Praise God. Praise God.

What is there to praise about that thing?

It's more demonic than divine.

Whatever I do, I'm not leaving Joohee by herself.

What's the hint here?

Spear, axe.

It's all a bad dream, I'll wake up an--

Hammer, sword.

Trumpet.

Trumpet! That's it!

I got it.

Everyone, quick!

Run to the statues holding musical instruments!

If you say so.

What do you know? Kid was right again.

Hey, none of the statues with instruments will attack, so hurry and find one.

Damn it all.

Come on, play your drum! Come on, please!

Is it just one person per statue?

Stay here. You'll be fine.

What about you?

So close!

Not that one!

No!

Please don't die!

Not yet.

Not yet.

Not yet.

Feel like singing praises myself.

Jinwoo! Are you okay?

Barely, but at least I'm alive.

Oh, my gosh.

What's wrong?

Oh.

Your leg.

Enough already. I mean it.

You'll wear yourself out if you don't stop.

I'm going to heal you!

So just shut up and let me do it!

I'm sorry, Joohee.

What a bloodbath.

No kidding.

I count your arm as a casualty, too.

But I also count it as karma since you led us here.

-Nice call, by the way. -That's awful.

You're the one who said we should bend the rules...

I did what we all decided on!

And I remember how you voted.

Sangshik is right.

I'm the leader and I had the final say.

I'm the one to blame for everything.

It's no time to point fingers.

There's one more trial left.

What's happening now?

Earthquake?

The hell is that?

An altar.

You know, like the kind in ancient mythology.

For offerings to the Gods they pray to.

Proving our faith is the last commandment.

I may not be the smartest, but even I know what move to make.

This God likes blood, so it's fair to assume that it wants a sacrifice!

Beom-shik had a family.

Bragged about it all day, then I watched him get cut in half.

He and six others died.

If you really feel responsible for their deaths, prove it to us and God, leader.

-No, Mister Kim, that's... -You stay out of this!

All right.

Lower your sword and I'll go.

He shouldn't shoulder all the blame.

We voted as a group to risk coming here.

So is the ritual beginning?

Hm. Hey, kid, what do you think?

Am I supposed to do something with this flame?

I'm not sure, but, maybe a sacrifice isn't the key.

Hey, if you wouldn't mind.

Could you two carry me? I wanna check something.

Just get me right next to the altar, okay?

But won't we all die?

Hypothetically, we shouldn't.

Did you solve the last puzzle?

Sorry, not quite.

If we wait here, is anyone likely to come rescue us?

Today marks the seventh day this gate's been open.

Those statues will mobilize again before a rescue team does.

It takes a week for a gate to open all the way.

And then, the beasts inside can cross over.

A dungeon break.

The other objective of raids, besides scavenging,

is to beat the dungeon boss and shut the gate down before time's up.

So, if the six of us fail,

that thing will be let loose.

-Good afternoon! -And same to you, Miss Sung.

Always nice to see your face.

Hey, Mom! It's your favorite daughter.

Only hot gossip I have to spill is that Song-yi was almost late.

Said it was 'cause of "stuff."

Bet she just slept in.

I've also got a national test update.

You're going to have to get near the altar, too.

We probably need a flame to light up for each of us.

If anything happens, it'll be after that.

Hm.

-The doors opened. -So can we leave?

That's bait if I ever saw it.

That doesn't sound good.

Look! The statues are closing in!

Do we have a plan?

What in their psycho God's name do they want?

Why?

Wait, Joohee! Don't close your eyes!

Or they'll keep coming.

See? Look, just like that old kid's game.

So, all eyes on the statues!

Wait, don't go!

Talk to us, kid! Now what's going on?

The doors closed a little, but I think she made it out!

Why? Okay.

The blue flames have been slowly dying out one by one,

and the red flames go out when we leave the circle?

Think.

First we had to worship.

Second, we have to praise.

Then now, we prove our faith.

The open doors are a trap.

Offering false hope in the wake of terror.

Maybe we prove our faith by resisting the temptation to run.

Guys, I can't.

I tried, but I can't.

Jeongho, don't!

No!

-Hey! Huh? -Don't you dare move!

The circle will have blind spots if we lose our fourth!

It'd be comforting if we had a little more info to go on, here!

We'll escape, too, if we keep our eyes on the statues and stay put.

The blue flames are a timer.

When they're gone, we can walk right out of here.

There's also a chance the doors will shut completely.

And we'll be trapped inside this room till we die.

I never expected the weakest hunter of all mankind to be

the difference between us living or dying.

But I can honestly say that I've never been happier to stand corrected.

Oh, uh, thank you.

But that said, I've got a family that needs me.

So dying in here just isn't an option.

I want to make it home alive.

I'm way past my limit.

I'm sorry.

You're "sorry?"

Not yet. We have to survive this.

Somehow.

I always pull through every single time.

You two go while you still can.

Mister Song.

I'll stay behind.

As long as one of us waits in here the doors should remain open.

You both have so much life left ahead of you, go and live it.

So, Joohee. Can you carry him out?

S-Sure!

No. No, no, no, no.

Um, sir? My legs just gave out on me.

You really did overdo it healing Jinwoo.

You go. Take Joohee and leave.

What? Did you even listen to anything I said--

You think I can carry her with half a leg missing?

We're wasting time! Just go!

That makes me the useless one, so I'll keep the doors open!

Guess I promised to take you out to eat, now didn't I?

Use this to buy yourself dinner.

Once I make my grand escape, I'll come collect the change.

How're you cracking jokes right no--

I apologize. I'd let you have a proper goodbye, but we really are out of time.

-Please take good care of her. -I will.

I'm glad my death means they can live.

My one regret, though,

is that I didn't enroll in a juicier life insurance package.

I'll take at least one of you goliaths down with me!

Let's see what you've got!

I've always been the weakest,

and I've been mocked for it at every turn.

But I still try as hard as I can.

So this...

Shit. Shit!

This is bullshit.

Bullshit!

I wanted to be stronger.

I tried, but...

I never could.

I get it! I fought tooth and nail to earn my keep, and I got this far!

But you were past your limit, huh?

Yeah, we all felt that way.

You were making excuses for your own selfishness.

That gratitude was as empty as my wallet.

Leave it to a genuine piece of trash,

to use me and throw me away for his benefit!

I've got a family too!

I wanted to make it home alive, too!

I'm glad my death means they can live?

How could you think that, you stupid hypocrite?

No. I don't want to die.

I wish...

I had another chance.
