chapter 312
312 – I Really Didn’t Mean to Make the Final Blow.
“Oh my…?! That guy reacted! Quickly get help!”
Seeing the monster stimulated by Hyun Jung-gil, Park Yong-hwan quickly fired a signal.
At the same time, the support hunters began to hit Jo Ki-man and Hyeon Jung-gil with all their skills, and the presence of those two, who had obtained all the buffs they could, was enough to make even Kang Yeon-su hold out his tongue
“Hmph! I said we’ll do it just the two of us, so let’s see how well we do.”
“Whoa – yes.”
Kang Yeon-soo, who had lost a lot of strength during the one-on-one fight earlier, stood on the front line and served as a shield for the hunters.
And after a while, Jo Gi-man’s [Thunderfield] Appeared in the sky and gave off an intense light.
[Booooo?!]
The monster seemed to sense that something unusual was happening and shook its body in an attempt to avoid it, but when it saw Hyeon-joong-gil standing in its path, it seemed resigned and did not move any more.
Gurgling ────!!
Soon, countless red streaks of lightning began to fall from the distant sky in one place.
Each of those lightning bolts had a destructive power comparable to the special move of a decent S-class hunter.
The sight of over a thousand lightning bolts the size of an ogre’s body falling from the sky seemed as if the hand of a demon had been extended to the monster, and soon powerful lightning began tearing the black guy’s body apart.
Gurgling–!! Kwak!
[…!!]
The explosion of sound continued to the point where I thought it would make a sound like this if the world turned upside down and collapsed.
The monster couldn’t even scream in pain, and only reacted by shaking to the falling attack.
Its body, which had been bitten here and there by Kim Seon-min’s abilities, was shaped into a perfect shape for receiving lightning, and as time went by, its outer skin began to open and tear, and soon a lot of smoke began to rise and its size began to decrease.
Due to the aftereffects of lightning containing enormous magical power, the hunters outside the shield of the S-class hunters fell to the ground, clutching their chests.
– Eweeek…!
– Save me…!
However, the remaining hunters could not even pay attention to the fallen hunters.
They only gaped, as if they were shocked by Jo Gi-man’s incredible fighting power.
I was too busy trying to gauge Jo Gi-man’s capabilities without even daring to move.
‘… That’s called [Celestial Field]…? It’s much stronger than I remembered… Did that guy’s growth accelerate too?’
I felt complicated because I felt the strength of my enemy firsthand, but I could no longer think about anything else as Hyun Jung-gil followed him.
Slurring─
‘Wow…’
His movements were as flexible as water and as hard as steel, as light as the wind and as heavy as a rock.
─────────
He was clearly aware that he had committed suicide, but he couldn’t see it or feel it.
Soon, a line was drawn exactly as if it were measured with a ruler on the monster’s body, which had shrunk to 1/5 of its original size.
[Booooo—?]
It was so fast that even the monster that was attacked had no idea what was happening.
Damn it!
[?!]
Its body began to split into left and right sides.
But that wasn’t the end.
[Ilseom (一閃) ─ Heavenly Road (天上道)]
Hyun Joong-gil’s shout was uttered as if he were in harmony with Jo Gi-man.
At the same time, Hyun Joong-gil’s body trembled from side to side, and countless sword energy waves began to cut the monster’s body into two pieces.
The number of cuts was so great that it was difficult to count, and the monster’s body was torn apart in the air without even falling to the ground, and at some point disappeared without a trace in a huge explosion.
An extremely beautiful line created by a sword.
Among the prosecutors who were influenced by him, there was even one who shed tears.
But I was surprised in a different way.
‘Uh?! [Flame Explosion] Activated automatically?’
The explosion that exploded at the end was clearly my skill.
My first teacher, Hyun Joong-gil, was finishing the work, so I couldn’t bear to put my spoon there, so I stayed still.
The black flames didn’t rise into the sky or anything, but it was definitely a [Flame explosion].
And soon the message that came to mind gave me confidence.
– I made a small contribution to defeating the monster ‘Cursed Ancient Ruins Queen Slime’!
With the message, light continued to shine from my body, and I quickly activated [Stealth] To avoid people’s eyes.
-Experience increases explosively!
– Your level has risen!
– Your level has risen!
– Your level has risen!
.
.
.
‘Uh oh… How far does it go?’
Although it is a powerful monster, just by hitting a single flame explosion, its level goes up by a whopping six levels.
‘Haha… What is this…’
I thought it might have happened because the difference between the monster and me was so great.
I scratched my head in embarrassment.
But the reward did not end there.
– Contributed to the subjugation of monsters for the first time.
– The ability of the attribute [Kleptomania] Is temporarily greatly increased.
– Temporarily steals the potential of ‘Cursed Ancient Relic Queen Slime’.
– The skill [Essential Gluttony] Grows significantly!
‘…?!’
[Kleptomaniac] Instead of taking this skill, he stole something else.
I don’t know what the potential of Queen Slime is, but there is definitely a common denominator with [Innate Gluttony] In terms of consuming other people’s things.
【Gluttony of the essence】
– Body parts of living and dead Absorption And analyze the essence ‘Large minion’ Create.
– When consumed, magical power and stamina each decrease to 50 I will recover.
– The ability is maintained even if the grown minion dies.
‘It changed from a small minion to a large one! Even minion abilities can’t be reset?!’
Moreover, it has changed from ingestion to ‘absorption’.
It may seem like a small difference, but it was a big change for me, who had a lot of trouble eating it.
‘Ugh!! What kind of rice cake is this!’
Of course, I’m not the only one who receives this kind of compensation.
Many people who fought against monsters must have received appropriate compensation.
‘This is why I have no choice but to jump in at risk.’
I wanted to call my lovely subordinate ‘Gori’ right away, but there were many eyes watching so I had no choice but to hold back.
‘I wonder how big that little guy must have become when he grows up, but his abilities must have definitely increased, right?’
Even though there was no heart, it felt like I could hear it pounding somewhere.
When I was losing my senses, Yeonhee slapped my shoulder to wake me up.
“Wow – Ilwol, did you just see that? Joong-gil’s body shook for a moment, and then the monster disappeared with a pop!”
“Tick, tick, tick!!”
When I came back to reality, I postponed the reward for a while and thought as I looked at Hyun Joong-gil’s back
‘… Is that really a person…’
In fact, since they are called transcendents, it would seem that they have already left the realm of humans.
Suddenly, Master Gusul, who was said to be a warrior from another world, came to mind.
After listening to my description of Hyeon Joong-gil, Master said he was amazed that a swordsman of such a level exists in this world and that he would like to see it.
Judging by the nuance of his speech, it is said that when the Master was alive, he was at a higher level than Hyeon Jung-gil.
‘A human can become stronger than that? How does that happen?’
It was something I couldn’t understand in my current state.
In any case, just when I thought that no matter how fearsome the monster was, I would have died even if I died a hundred times, the sky suddenly turned red like a blazing red and a huge fireball fell.
‘What is that? Could it be [Meteor]…?! Jogi-man, you crazy bastard! The monster just died!’
– Ugh?! Oh, that!
– Damage everyone!!
– Ship, barrier…!
The fireball, which was a small sphere, grew bigger and bigger, and when it hit the ground, it became so large that it swallowed not only the monster but also the place where Hyeonjung-gil was.
Kkwagwagwagwagwagwagwang───!!
“Kyaahhh ─!”
“Kyaa!”
I wrapped my cloak around me and held Yeonhee and Arin in my arms, Geomryong wrapped us with his wings, and Kang Yeon-soo put up a magic shield for Geomryong.
‘Hey, that bastard is real!’
I let out two curses as I watched Geomryong’s wings melt little by little.
The mindset of putting an end to an unknown monster was a basic action as a hunter, but I couldn’t help but criticize it because it was an excessive action.
Sizzling─
A huge pit formed where the monster was, and the ground boiled.
A huge amount of smoke engulfed the entire area.
‘Oh?! It’s acting! But what are the stones under the ground?’
There was a long stone-like thing a few meters below where the monster died.
Because the enormous magical energy was still swirling around, I couldn’t clearly sense it, but anyway, I couldn’t feel any life reaction from the stone, so my eyes were soon taken away by the rising smoke.
Taking advantage of the time when the surrounding area was obscured by smoke, the monster began to suck all the smoke generated from its death into subspace.
‘Open – subspace!’
Thanks to my performance(?), The acting quickly became dull.
After the smoke cleared, Hyun Joong-gil reappeared in the air and nodded toward Jo Ki-man as if he understood.
‘Wow – you’re just ignoring this? Is it Buddha?’
Jo Ki-man also bowed his head in a rare manner and showed respect to Hyeon Jung-gil.
The hunters, who had almost been angered by the sudden high-level magic, had no choice but to swallow their anger as they saw them.
“…”
“I almost fell behind, but I can’t say anything if I did that.”
“Well, I guess there was a reason to use [Meteor]…”
Hunters who are trying hard to understand, thinking that there must be something they don’t know.
However, the reaction of some superpowers, including Kang Yeon-soo, was different.
“Ah! Couldn’t you have hit it more pinpoint? Meteor is too much, right?”
Kang Yeon-soo’s eyes were fierce, as if he was about to throw Jo Gi-man’s bamboo tube at any moment.
Jo Gi-man shook off the dust from his clothes and answered differently.
“I just wanted to be sure.”
“Besides that, how many other types of magic can be used in local areas…? Ha-! I shouldn’t say anything.”
As for the lecture, she knew very well that Jogi-man was an official who enjoyed being in the spotlight, so she didn’t say anything more.
Moreover, he is a person who has accomplished what he could not do anyway.
From a training standpoint, we can’t push it any further.
Anyway, the beginning and end of the battle.
Because only Jogi presented all the spectacular attractions, people cheered at him in unison.
‘The last attack was a clear waste of mana… I’m sure everyone doesn’t know that, right?’
I didn’t understand, so I looked closely at the hunters, and I saw people actively standing in front, clapping and agitating.
These are probably small weeds that have been planted here and there for a long time.
Even if there are just a few guys like that, it’s easy to turn the mood towards them.
And I already knew from my past life experience that such ridiculous things can show surprisingly great power outside of combat.
‘Crowd psychology is this scary.’
