๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐: ๐๐ง๐๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฆ๐ฒ 3
The tip of the sharp sword pointed towards Hikatan’s nape.
“โ โ !!”
His purple skin turned pale as a look of terror flashed across his face.
In an instant, demonic energy erupted from Solaso and surged violently.
A pitch-black magic circle spread out.
โCrack!!
A giant frog materialized between them, and its sticky tongue shot out towards Siwoo’s face.
‘๐๐ข๐ด๐ต.’
The frog’s tongue was faster than Siwoo’s sword.
He tried to block the attack by sheathing his sword again, but the timing was too tight.
Siwoo turned his head.
He was certain that the frog had aimed its tongue at a specific body part, namely his eye.
Ta-da-da-da!!
By a hair’s breadth, the attack hit Siwoo’s ear instead of his eye.
Perhaps because it was a summon from dark magic, the attack itself was imbued with demonic energy, even though it wasn’t a skill.
“Ha โ It’s better than its master.”
Siwoo, who had turned his sword a beat late, cut off the tip of the frog’s tongue.
โCroooaaak!!
Instead of blood, the summoned creature spewed black smoke and hopped away to Solaso’s side.
His left ear, which had taken the brunt of the attack, was ringing.
But Siwoo stopped his counterattack, feeling a strange discomfort rather than simple pain.
“You’re just realizing? If you get hit by my summon, you lose sensation in that part, you idiot! Idiot! Idiot!”
Solaso smiled triumphantly.
“. . . . . .Hmm.”
Siwoo frowned, massaging his numb left ear.
This was a difficult opponent.
If it had been a cut or a fracture, he could have healed it with Heal, but the loss of sensation was the frog’s ability, so it couldn’t be healed.
‘๐๐ง ๐ ๐ฌ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฌ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ถ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฆ๐ฅ.’
The problem was that he could lose more and more senses during that process, and if that happened, the chances of him being counterattacked would increase.
His hearing was a big deal, but what if he lost his sight?
‘๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ช๐ต ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ญ๐ช๐ง๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ.’
Siwoo sighed and adjusted his stance.
“You son of a bitch, how dare you point a sword at me?!”
At that moment, Hikatan, who had regained his senses, puffed out his fat belly.
It was a grotesque and bizarre sight, at odds with his threatening words.
The surrounding demons were shocked by the sight.
“Eeek. . . !”
“H-Hikatan-nim is using his technique!”
“Run, run away quickly!”
As soon as they saw Hikatan entering a battle stance, they began to scatter in all directions.
Siwoo realized from their reactions that the opponent’s attack was a ‘difficult to dodge’ ability.
If it was a skill that only worked on one enemy, they wouldn’t have run away or been so afraid.
‘๐๐ฏ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข-๐ฐ๐ง-๐ฆ๐ง๐ง๐ฆ๐ค๐ต ๐ด๐ฌ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ. . . ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ข ๐ฉ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ-๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐ข๐ต๐ต๐ข๐ค๐ฌ ๐ข๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต.’
Hoo-woo-hoo!
As if filling a water balloon to the brim, Hikatan’s belly expanded rapidly.
It wasn’t just a little bit swollen, it was so huge that it looked like he had swallowed several elephants whole.
“Puuuuuu!”
Purple smoke, the same color as his skin, shot out of his mouth.
Siwoo layered five magic shields around himself as he dodged the attack.
He set the basic magic circuit to the Wind Formula, and each shield rotated fiercely, creating razor-sharp winds.
ใ๐๐ญ’๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ก! ๐๐ญ’๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก๐ฒ!ใ
Pre hopped frantically on Siwoo’s shoulder, his mind in a frenzy.
The purple smoke enveloped him menacingly.
The shields with the Wind Formula rotated and shredded the smoke, but they couldn’t hold out for long.
Zzezezezezezejeong!!
Like a rusty screw being crushed, the five layers of shields shattered one after another.
ใ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก! ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฌ๐จ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ! ๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ง’๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญใ ก ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐ !!ใ
Siwoo grabbed Pre and stuffed him safely into his pocket, then turned the purple smoke upside down.
The entire area was filled with thick smoke.
“He, hehehihi! He, he killed himself! My poison is a fatal n, n, neurotoxin! Just touching it is enough to make you want to die!”
“Hikatan, you idiot! Don’t let your guard down! Don’t relax until you’ve confirmed the body is dead! Dead! Dead!”
“S, Solaso, my, my poison is one hundred percent! Now the 2nd Realm Demon King can make the 1, 1, 1st Realm Demon King his, his subordinate โ Kukheueuk!”
As Hikatan spoke excitedly, a sharp, honed blade pierced his neck through the purple smoke.
“Keureureureup. . . !!”
Hikatan gurgled and frothed blood from his mouth and neck.
“H-Hikatan!”
Solaso screamed in surprise.
“It hurt quite a bit, you damn purple lizard.”
Siwoo, holding the blade, slowly emerged from the smoke.
Solaso’s expression was even more surprised than when Hikatan’s neck had been pierced.
This was because fresh red blood was dripping from Siwoo’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
“Keugeugeu. . . .”
Hikatan struggled and began to inflate his body again.
But Siwoo wasn’t about to let him do that again.
His fist, filled with magic power, struck Hikatan’s abdomen.
Paaaaaaa!!
At the same time, Hikatan’s side burst open like a crushed pipe.
“Keueueueueu. . . !!”
“Do you know how many times I almost fainted while getting through that smoke?”
Without any other plan, Siwoo charged straight at Hikatan, taking the poisonous fog head-on.
At the same time, he accelerated his Heal several times over, mending the poisoning in milliseconds.
However, he couldn’t block the excruciating pain.
Pain like every nerve ending was being cut with scissors washed over him, and every time he breathed, he felt like his lungs and organs were melting.
“Th, this is crazy! No, no. . . no. . . !”
Solaso knew how potent Hikatan’s poison was.
Not only humans, but even some demons were helpless against it.
The reason he had told him not to let his guard down wasn’t because he thought he couldn’t defeat Siwoo.
It meant that he wanted to make sure he was dead.
“Is it your turn now?”
“D-Don’t be ridiculous!”
He summoned the strongest summon he could with all his demonic energy.
A giant chameleon materialized in the air, enveloped in black demonic energy.
“Quickly, kill that human fer ee. . . !”
And at that moment.
Solaso realized that his tongue was not obeying his.
A cold sweat trickled down his forehead, past his eyebrows, nose, and lips, and dripped down his chin.
A pungent, crimson liquid.
Through his increasingly distorted vision, he could see that Siwoo’s Muramasa was now pointed at his.
“Gyaaaah. . . .”
Solaso was cut in half and collapsed to the floor.
Siwoo looked around at Solaso’s corpse and the dying Hikatan.
“Ah, now I can hear.”

Cla-clang.
Kid, who had switched to a gun, fired a magic bullet forward.
Kwa-aaaaaang!! Kwa-aaaaaang!! Kwa-aaaaaang!! Kwa-aaaaaang!!
Flames spewed from the muzzle, and the area vibrated with the sound of gunfire.
Each shot from ‘Misteltein’ was a sure-fire attack, filled with intent.
Even if the opponent was an S-rank Hunter, they wouldn’t be able to avoid a near-fatal hit.
No, they would definitely die.
“Die, you damn monster!!”
But the bullets, which seemed like they would crush Kraken’s torso, evaporated before they even touched his body.
Sizzle. . . .
Kid let out a hollow laugh as all his attacks turned out to be futile, like ice melting in hot flames.
“What the hell is this?!!”
It wasn’t as if he was attacking with full power, but it wasn’t the kind of power that would just disappear.
It was the first time he had seen magic bullets vanish while flying.
But Kraken’s majesty and aura made it possible.
“Prepare yourselves, humans.”
Kugugugugu โ !!
An aura that seemed like it would crush and destroy everything was released.
“He’s surprisingly strong. . . .”
Even Choi Dae-soo, the yaksha known as the God of War, was taken aback by Kraken’s overwhelming power.
Just being close to him made his skin feel like it was being torn off, and it was itchy and painful.
Even Cerberus, who was observing the situation from the farthest distance, broke out in a cold sweat as soon as he realized the monster’s strength.
“Everyone. . . Let’s fight for our lives.”
Hans Schroder, who realized that the atmosphere of the battle was turning against them, stepped forward first.
A storm of magic power surged from his dantian and enveloped his entire body in a sacred aura.
If Kraken’s demonic energy was like a heavy iron ball, Hans’ magic power was like a sharp needle.
Hans’ dense and orderly aura clashed with Kraken’s explosive aura.
Kadddddd. . . !!!
A blood-red light flashed from the bull’s eerie eyes.
At that moment, Hans kicked off the ground and swung his right fist with all the magic power he could muster.
A single beam of light cut through the darkness.
โโโโ Kuquagaga!!!
As if a 100-ton dump truck had charged forward, a straight, deep path was carved out.
Hans spotted a pair of glowing red eyes through the gap created by his powerful attack.
“Damn it. . . .”
He muttered, as if he had given up.
There was no time to dodge, and a huge mace swung down like a baseball bat at an incredible speed.
Paaaaaaa!!!
Hans flew dozens of meters, spraying blood.
“Damn!!”
Cerberus, who had belatedly grasped the situation, materialized a skill and bound the monster’s body with shadows.
It had all happened so quickly that he hadn’t been able to intervene.
Choi Dae-soo then removed his sword and shield and equipped a dark gauntlet on his hand, and at the same time, extended his fist towards Kraken.
Zzeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeng!!
“You’re a bit late.”
But Kraken, who had broken free of the shadow bind in the blink of an eye, raised his mace and blocked Choi Dae-soo’s punch.
Whatever it was made of, it must have been a weapon close to a mythical artifact.
‘๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ฏ. . . ๐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐’๐ท๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ.’
Otherwise, Choi Dae-soo’s hand, which had thrown the punch, wouldn’t have been throbbing with pain.
“Now I’ll catch each of you one by one and plant the flag of the demon race in your mouths.”
Kraken said to Choi Dae-soo, rolling his eyeballs and speaking in a low, guttural voice.
It was a murky voice that sent shivers down your spine just from hearing it.
“It’s my turn, you bastard.”
At that moment, something sparkled over Choi Dae-soo’s shoulder.
Cla-clang, Kwa-aaaaaang!!
The gun that Siwoo had given Kid as a gift fired a shot.
The ‘Wolf’s Fang’, which consumed a large amount of magic power, but in return could reliably bite the enemy’s nape.
A silver magic bullet shot out of the gold-adorned revolver and hit Kraken between the eyes.
His head jerked back.
“Did it pierce him. . . ?”
Kid muttered.
He had used the revolver a few times as a test, and each time, it had pierced through everything.
“Kuaaaaaaaaaak!!”
As soon as he thought that, the monster’s roar exploded violently, shaking the mountains.
Compressed demonic energy spread out like a lion’s roar, and a dozen or so Hunters who had been assisting the ‘Misteltein’ nearby coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
It was just a roar, not a skill or magic, but the demonic energy was too strong for humans to withstand.
Kraken didn’t care about the blood running down his forehead, and he raised his mace and brought it down.
Kuuuuuuuuung!!!
He glared, imagining Choi Dae-soo being crushed to death.
But what unfolded before Kraken’s eyes was another human, dressed in shabby clothes.
“Damn โ This son of a bitch is really tough to break?”
