What the hell happened?
Choi Kang-yul understood up to the part where the other person responded.
The first thing he realized was that he had disappeared in an instant.
The next thing he felt was the tingling sensation in his side.
Just as he was about to wonder what the hell this was, a brilliant sensation spread like wildfire, and soon a burning agony erupted throughout his entire side.
“Ughhh. . .!”
Choi Kang-yul collapsed to the floor, clutching his side.
He couldn’t come to his senses because of the excruciating pain he was experiencing for the first time in his life.
He could hear his heart pounding in his ears, and everything seemed to move in slow motion.
He pressed down on his side, trying to focus his magic there.
Hot blood flowed down his fingers and stained the floor.
It hurt.
It hurt like hell.
It felt like a third of his waist had been cut off.
His vision was gradually blurring.
Choi Kang-yul let out a ragged breath and desperately called out to his unyielding mind to stop the bleeding.
He couldn’t just die here.
He was a Hunter who had started out to repay his debt to the Guild Leader. . . to Min Siwoo.
He couldn’t possibly die without being of any help.
He fueled his will to live, despite his ragged breathing and the blood that kept gushing out.
“That’s some serious determination. You’ve got the guts to be that spirited, even with your side torn open.”
Burdeos approached with heavy steps and held a machete to Choi Kang-yul’s neck.
Choi Kang-yul’s bloodless complexion and the sharp gaze that didn’t match it caught Burdeos’ eye.
“I like it, I like it. I’ll spare you if you join my men━or should I say, I’m guessing you’ll refuse?”
“. . .Ugh! You know. . . and you still ask?”
“I thought so.”
Burdeos twisted the corner of his mouth and raised the machete, intending to cut his throat with it.
But at that moment.
[Othello: Repulsion]
Boom
A tremendous force repelled Burdeos, sending him flying.
“Who dares to harass my junior!”
Han Tae-chi appeared with a tense expression, his voice booming.
“Hunter. . .Han. . . Tae. . . chi. . . . . .”
“Hey, are you okay? Hold on until the President gets here! Don’t give up, even if you have to!”
“What. . . are you. . . talking about. . .”
“Drink this, quick!”
Han Tae-chi took out a potion from his item box and poured it into Choi Kang-yul’s side and mouth.
He could see the color gradually returning to his face, which had looked like it was about to die.
“Phew. . .if I had been just a step late, you would have been high-fiving the Grim Reaper.”
“Thank you. . . I feel much better than before.”
“Is that so? That’s a relief. So, what are we going to do about this monster now?”
Han Tae-chi muttered, his gaze distant.
[Elephant Union] According to the Hunters, Burdeos was said to be the strongest monster ruling this area.
However, hearing such descriptions and actually facing him made him realize that the adjectives used to describe him were not exaggerated in the least.
‘𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘶𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯? 𝘐𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦?’
Han Tae-chi gulped as he assessed his impression of Burdeos.
His murderous aura was so different from that of a human being.
Burdeos was someone who had no qualms about killing people, and his expression wouldn’t change even if he did something worse.
“Who are you?”
At that moment, Burdeos, who had gotten up from his seat, brushed off the dust on his clothes and asked.
“Me. . .? I’m. . . this kid’s senior.”
“Then you must be one of those who came from Korea following Min Siwoo.”
“That’s. . . right?”
“Watch out!”
Choi Kang-yul shouted urgently, and in that instant, Burdeos’ machete reached Han Tae-chi’s neck.
[Othello: Repulsion]
Boom!
The skill activated with a hair’s breadth to spare, and the machete flew far away.
Han Tae-chi felt cold sweat drenching his clothes.
The drops of blood running down his neck seemed to show him how close he had come to death.
“Hah.”
Burdeos’ fingers dug into Han Tae-chi’s shoulder.
Poof!
“Gaaaah!”
“Hold still.”
Just as a bright red electric current was about to engulf his body, Choi Kang-yul’s fist shone first.
Bam!
Burdeos bit his lip and glared at Choi Kang-yul.
“I guess even a guy who’s half dead can get feisty.”
“How does it feel to be hit by that guy who’s practically dead?”
“It doesn’t even tickle.”
Ziiiiip. . .Crackle!
Red lightning bolts shot out of Burdeos’ legs and instantly struck Choi Kang-yul’s face.
A skill that surrounded the body with electricity and granted a kind of ‘celerity’.
Burdeos took out a relatively short knife that he had been wearing on his back instead of the machete that had flown far away and stabbed it into Choi Kang-yul’s thigh.
“Ugh. . .!”
“Are you holding back your screams? You’re very patient.”
“Get away from my junior!”
A heavy force struck Burdeos’ body again.
However, he was only pushed back about 1~2 meters.
Han Tae-chi couldn’t help but be surprised, as he had expected him to be repelled far away like before.
“I guess I’m getting used to this.”
“That’s ridiculous. . . [Repulsion]!”
Han Tae-chi used his skill again.
This time, he put even more magic power into it.
However, his [Repulsion] exploded in empty space, and Burdeos surrounded his entire body with electricity and kicked Han Tae-chi away at a tremendous speed.
Bam!
“Hunter Han Tae-chi!”
Choi Kang-yul shouted, looking at the place where he had flown.
“Did you think you could take care of me with that kind of skill?”
A bright red thunderbolt began to gather at Burdeos’ fingertips, crackling with electricity.
‘𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥.’
Choi Kang-yul instinctively sensed the danger from the dense magic power of his opponent.
[Celadon Flower: Seven Flower Petals]
The magic power gushing out of his dantian formed a vivid green light on his fist.
“Kukuk. Do you intend to compare whose skill is stronger?”
Burdeos laughed at his opponent’s reaction and attacked.
Boom!
The tremendous magic powers collided, creating an earth-shattering roar.
Lightning flashed, and the ground beneath them crumbled.
The shockwave tore through the atmosphere and swept over the area like a wave.
Choi Kang-yul gritted his teeth and didn’t let go of his hand.
If he took even one step back here, he would be pierced and killed instantly.
He glared at Burdeos, who was grinning.
Crackle. . . crackle!
The bright red electricity emanating from his fingertips was making an incredible screeching sound, as if it would burn everything it touched.
“Kukuk. Are you scared? Are you terrified? Don’t worry, I’ll burn you to ashes without leaving a single bone.”
A crazy voice dripping with murderous intent.
“Ugh. . .!”
Choi Kang-yul felt a burning sensation in his side, where he had been cut earlier.
No matter how effective a potion was, there was no such thing as a potion that could heal wounds 100%.
At best, it could stop the bleeding and help you get through an emergency.
Choi Kang-yul staggered as if he was dizzy.
“It’s over.”
Burdeos didn’t miss the opening.
Dense magical power was added to the lightning, increasing its power even more.
However, there was no sign of defeat on Choi Kang-yul’s face.
“The one who’s. . . finished. . . is you.”
“What?”
Burdeos turned his head in surprise.
“You held on well, junior.”
[Othello: Attraction]
A gravitational force centered around Burdeos pulled Han Tae-chi’s item.
Beep beep beep beep!
Burdeos, who had noticed the situation, ran in the opposite direction with all his might, but the gravitational force that had already been activated did not let go.
Bo━━━om!
The bombs that had reacted to Burdeos’ magic power began to explode one after another.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
“Gaaaah!”
Liu Xing, who had been bitten by the dragon’s jaw, let out a roar.
Hundreds of sharp teeth dug into his flesh without mercy, refusing to let go.
“It’s a pity to have to dispel the magic I summoned without even being able to attack.”
When he had entered the tornado, Siwoo had dug a hole in the ground and had the dragon lie in wait there.
Whether it was Alkesul, Liu Xing, or Burdeos, he could use it whenever he had the chance.
“Now, tell me why the 〈Pandemonium〉 guys are in Mexico.”
“This body. . . is not yet defeated. . .!”
Liu Xing did not show a look of defeat, even with hundreds of teeth digging into him.
“Is that so? Then let’s beat you up some more and make you talk.”
“For the sake of the organization. . .I will definitely. . .kill you!!”
Liu Xing, who had coughed up blood, let out all the demonic energy he had at once.
“Do you still have the energy to do that?”
“Gaaaah!”
Before Siwoo’s question was finished, Liu Xing’s demonic energy wrapped around his body in layers, forming the shape of a huge suit of armor.
No, could this really be called armor?
“It’s like a human golem.”
Siwoo muttered without realizing it.
Liu Xing sat in the center of the huge golem, which was well over 4 meters tall, and looked down at Siwoo.
“I will crush you like a bug!”
The greatsword that Liu Xing was holding was also surrounded by demonic energy, and its size had increased tremendously.
He swung the greatsword vertically towards Siwoo.
Boom!
The ground cracked as if an earthquake had occurred, even though it was just a downward strike.
‘𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬.’
Siwoo stepped back quickly, laughing mockingly.
“Don’t run away and fight me like a man!”
Liu Xing raised his greatsword high and, infusing it with plenty of magic power, swung it down at Siwoo’s location like he was chopping wood.
A single-strike attack that poured out 80% of his power.
The magic power mixed with demonic energy gushed out, and the tremendous impact exploded in all directions like a bomb, as if it would devour the earth.
“This is crazy!”
Siwoo clicked his tongue and built up layers of magic shields, while simultaneously deploying [Song of Iron: Aegis of the God] to protect himself from the explosion.
Kuwoooooo!
A monstrous shockwave swept through the area.
It was a force so powerful that he could have lost his life if he hadn’t blocked it properly.
Liu Xing searched for Siwoo inside the suit of armor that had been reduced by half due to the depletion of magical power and demonic energy.
“Where are you?! Did you die from that?”
He brushed away the rising dust with his hand, grinning.
Of course, this was a great attack that even the great Giovanni wouldn’t be able to block, but somehow Liu Xing didn’t think Siwoo was dead.
The first ever SSS-rank Hunter.
The only stumbling block in 〈Pandemonium〉’s plan.
All the things that Min Siwoo had done so far had served as a kind of warning light, setting off alarm bells in Liu Xing’s head.
It was supposed to be a full-force attack that wouldn’t even leave a corpse behind.
Nevertheless, he searched the ground for even a severed arm of Siwoo’s.
“Damn it. . .! Where the hell are you? Tell me if you’re scared!”
Liu Xing shouted in the desolate wasteland.
The dust settled, and his vision cleared.
There was no living creature in sight.
“Haha. . . You really are dead.”
Liu Xing smiled with satisfaction and looked around twice.
A chill.
A tremendous murderous aura suddenly ran down his spine.
Liu Xing instinctively raised his greatsword and swung it around in a wide circle.
There was nothing there.
“What the. . . where the hell is this murderous aura coming from. . .?”
He recalled the Wyrm that had just risen from the ground and quickly moved a few steps away to a different location.
However, he couldn’t see any magic power moving beneath the ground that was following him.
In that case. . .
Liu Xing opened his eyes wide and, without realizing it, raised his head.
“Too late.”
A single beam of light shot down vertically from high in the sky.
“Ah.”
With Liu Xing’s final scream, his body exploded into pieces from Siwoo’s attack.
