Chapter 4 of the Solo Leveling webtoon traps the raid party with a deadly statue, as Song Chi-Yul loses an arm and the group decodes the temple's lethal commandments.
Summary
Frozen by terror after watching two of their party killed, Jinwoo's companions argue over what to do until Chi-Yul cautions them to stay still so the statue does not strike again. Jinwoo tries to reach Joohee, but she is too shaken by what she witnessed to respond. When Chi-Yul asks how he managed to anticipate the statue's attack, Jinwoo says it was sheer instinct, only to realize with a shock that Chi-Yul has lost an arm to that same blow.
Key Events
Jinwoo helps stem the bleeding while Chi-Yul, drawing on his hunter experience, judges the statue to be A-Rank or even S-Rank given its power to kill in a single stroke. He stresses that the carved commandments are no joke and recites them: worship God, praise God, and prove one's faith, with death awaiting any who break the rules. Jinwoo grasps that the so-called God is the giant statue itself.
