Episode 107
Episode 107
-Crack!
-Crackle!
-Crack! Crackle!
Hundreds of eggs begin to crack simultaneously.
“Han Si-on, quickly use ice magic to freeze them…”
At Choi Mu-ryeong’s words,
“It’s too late. They’re already hatching, so it won’t work.”
Han Si-on shook his head.
As Han Si-on said,
the cracked Gatpa eggs were already leaking their viscous fluid,
reducing the effectiveness of ice magic.
Freezing them whole and then smashing them was impossible.
Now all that remained was to face the hatched baby Gatpa head-on.
The problem was one thing.
-Kiiiiiii!!!!
The new Gatpa hatching from the eggs were completely different from the previous ones.
The time it took for the babies’ beaks, shells, and claws to grow was only about 1-2 minutes.
-Bulge!
-Bulge! Bulge!
Moreover, their size swelled to 2-3 times that of existing Gatpa.
“…Everyone, prepare for battle.”
-Gulp.
The sound of someone swallowing dry saliva could be heard.
Everyone instinctively knew.
The hatched Gatpa were
completely different from the Gatpa they had encountered before.
However,
only one person.
Only Nakamura Ryohei didn’t know this fact.
Nakamura had already drawn [Momotaro’s Wooden Sword].
-Whirr.
A camera zooming in on that sight.
‘I can make up for it…!’
Nakamura was calculating.
Kenji had died, but it didn’t matter.
Not a single Korean Hunter had died.
Besides, Lee Tae-pyeong was here.
Lee Tae-pyeong, who had swept away all the Gatpa on Tsushima Island.
So nothing would go wrong at this point.
After all, only baby Gatpa remained, didn’t they?
‘This is enough.’
As a scene to show the Japanese citizens who would be waiting for news of the successful conquest of Tsushima Island’s demon realm transformation.
A national hero who, despite losing his comrades, overcame that pain and wiped out the Gatpa’s lineage!
Nakamura Ryohei, avenging his comrades and the Japanese people!
The newspapers would once again feature Nakamura Ryohei’s name in bold headlines,
and the news would continuously pour out breaking reports.
And Japan’s strongest, Nakamura Ryohei’s reputation would rise even higher!
-Swoosh!
Having finished his calculations, Nakamura quickly leaped forward.
-Slash!
On this stage,
faster than Lee Tae-pyeong,
faster than the Korean Hunters,
faster!
More!
He had to kill the Gatpa.
With that single thought, Nakamura swung [Momotaro’s Wooden Sword].
But…
-Thud!
-Thump!
-Slash!
-Thump!
Strangely,
Gatpa were falling before Nakamura’s attacks could even land.
Without even being able to scream, thud, thump,
only the Gatpa that Nakamura was trying to kill kept falling one by one.
Therefore,
contrary to the scene Nakamura had expected.
-Whirr.
What was being captured by the camera was,
“Huh, huh?!”
Only the sight of him making wild swings.
Why on earth?
Was Nakamura’s skill lacking?
No.
No matter what, Nakamura Ryohei was Japan’s strongest and
an exceptional Hunter ranked 4th in the world.
However.
-Slash!
-Swoosh!
-Slice!
Just one step.
-Thump!
Lee Tae-pyeong was simply faster.
Lee Tae-pyeong was deliberately targeting only the Gatpa that Nakamura was trying to cut.
-Whirr.
With such overwhelming martial prowess,
the camera was now filming Lee Tae-pyeong.
“Grr…!”
Nakamura was barely managing to follow behind Lee Tae-pyeong.
Moreover, Nakamura’s trait [Samurai] concentrated all attack power in the early stages.
In other words.
As time passed, Nakamura’s capabilities would decline.
-Miss!!
Because Lee Tae-pyeong had beaten him to everything,
all his useful attacks were complete misses.
Now he’s too exhausted to kill a Gatpa in a single blow.
Moreover, even the supporters who had been backing him up are gone.
-Kagagak!!
-Kieeeeeek!
Helpless.
Nakamura began to flee from the overwhelming Gatpa.
-Ziiing.
“W-wait. What’s that?!”
The cameraman filming from the helicopter panics.
“I-is Nakamura Ryohei running away?!”
“Cut! Cut! Stop filming!”
“I can’t stop filming! It’s already set to broadcast automatically…!”
That’s right.
Everything was already set up to prevent the broadcast from being cut off by accident.
Pressing a button wouldn’t stop the broadcast.
“Damn it, then turn the camera!!”
“…Yes!!!”
The camera hastily turns around.
From the fleeing Nakamura, back to the opposite side.
-Sugagak!
-Kueeeeee!!
-Seugeok!
-Kiiiiii!!!
To Lee Tae-pyeong, who unlike Nakamura was slashing through the Gatpa!
-Ziiing.
At that moment, the camera lens glints as it catches the light.
-…!!!!
Several Gatpa see that light and turn their gaze toward the helicopter.
-…Kueeeeee!!!!
The Gatpa discover the helicopter and begin to go berserk.
Just as the Gatpa are about to attack the helicopter,
“Maeng hyung! [Temptation]!!”
At Lee Tae-pyeong’s words, Maeng Ju-im immediately uses [Temptation].
-Peobeong!
Heart-shaped mist scatters,
-Kiiiiiik!!!
The Gatpa that were about to attack the helicopter rush toward Maeng Ju-im again.
“Uaaaak!”
Maeng Ju-im screams in terror.
-Seureung!
Fortunately, Lee Tae-pyeong’s sword was faster.
-Pububuk!!
Flying swiftly, the [Successor’s Sword (Incomplete)] pierces straight through three Gatpa.
“I-I almost died…”
“I told you you won’t die.”
Lee Tae-pyeong grins wickedly,
-Suuuuk!
He pulls out his sword that had skewered the three Gatpa like a kebab.
-Chaeng!
-Kagang!
-Tseutseutseutsu!
Battle continues from all directions.
Thanks to Maeng Ju-im’s [Temptation], the Gatpa horde begins gathering at one point,
The Korean Hunters pour all their attacks on them.
-Peok!
-Peobeobuk!
-Peobuk!
Seo In-ha’s force field magic bursts the Gatpa alive,
-Tseutseutseu…
-Peoeoook!
Han Si-on’s freezing magic and Ban Hae-yeong’s axe combo follows.
Choi Mu-ryeong is practically flying around.
But among them all, the most outstanding is still Lee Tae-pyeong.
The sight of him literally slashing… no, grinding up the Gatpa rushing toward Maeng Ju-im.
-Ziiing.
All of it is captured on camera.
Meanwhile,
In various international communities watching everything in real time…
-What’s happening right now?
-Nakamura’s attacks aren’t working at all. It’s a failure.
-Why is the camera focused on the Korean wwwwww
-All misses…
-Where did [Japan’s Strongest] go?
-Camera wwwww why only following that guy??
-Finally revealed. The limits of the [Samurai].
-Wait, isn’t Kenji dead?????????
-Why would Kenji die, he’s a [Ninja].
-That corpse that passed by earlier was Kenji
-Who is that Korean???
-Lee Tae-pyeong. Korean rookie Hunter. His mother is Japanese.
-What bullshit. He’s pure Korean.
-Is it okay to broadcast this stuff Japan wwwwwww
Japan was already in chaos.
And in South Korea’s case.
-LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
-The camera is fucking honest
-Legend of whiffing
-That’s 100% on purpose. He’s picking off only the ones Nakamura tries to cut.
-You’re mistaken. Lee Tae-pyeong isn’t that skilled. Nakamura is world rank 4.
-So what, Lee Tae-pyeong is faster
-Agreed
-This is what a Hunter is
-But are all the Japanese Hunters wiped out?
-No, looks like two survived, Nakamura and the high school girl
-Nakamura’s so pitiful, can’t even cut the broadcast
-Good thing it’s live. Otherwise they would’ve scrapped all this
-It was supposed to be a show to promote Nakamura but it all went to shit lololololol
-The overseas reaction is even better. Someone thought Lee Tae-pyeong was Nakamura, so I left a comment correcting them.
-Lee Tae-pyeong is really amazing, he’ll probably surpass Choi Mu-ryeong soon
-He’s already surpassed him
It was almost like a festival atmosphere.
Media outlets were already pouring out articles related to Tae-pyeong.
Some had even already published articles about the successful conquest of Tsushima Island’s demonization.
-Whirrrr.
Whether he knew this or not,
the camera didn’t stop,
and Lee Tae-pyeong’s massacre of the Gatpa horde was broadcast in its entirety.
‘Now it’s time to wrap things up…’
The number of remaining Gatpa was now less than 100.
‘…Then, shall I go all at once.’
Non-stop.
Lee Tae-pyeong sent a signal to Choi Mu-ryeong.
Then, Choi Mu-ryeong stopped the other Hunters.
And…
“Whoo.”
After taking a deep breath,
-Swoosh!
Lee Tae-pyeong quickly leaped forward.
-Slice!
The [Successor’s Sword (Incomplete)], already soaked with Gatpa blood,
tore through the Gatpa even more sharply.
Head,
-Crack!
Chest,
-Slash!
Belly.
-Squelch!
The more it gets soaked in black blood, the duller it should become.
However, the [Successor’s Sword (Incomplete)] was actually getting sharper.
As if it wanted more blood.
‘The elves’ technology really is good.’
Tae-pyeong admired the Gatpa being cut as softly as tofu.
‘I thought long swords weren’t my preference, but now that I’ve tried it, this isn’t bad either.’
Second-generation Gatpa born from eggs are stronger?
In front of Lee Tae-pyeong, such things had no meaning.
Even if they’re stronger,
the fact that they die remains the same.
-Slash!
20 monsters.
-Slice!
50 monsters.
-Slash slash slash!!!
80 monsters.
-Squelch!!!!
100 monsters.
Without a single break,
Lee Tae-pyeong slaughtered the Gatpa in a 100-hit combo.
The [Successor’s Sword (Incomplete)], having drunk its fill of blood, glowed brilliantly.
And at the same time,
-Shiiiiine!!!
A brilliant light enveloped the [Successor’s Sword (Incomplete)].
* * *
“…Hm?”
I examined the sword in my hand from various angles.
The appearance of the [Successor’s Sword (Incomplete)], which had looked like an ordinary elven sword, had changed dramatically.
A blade red as blood,
and a hilt black as if carved from darkness.
From the void stone embedded in the hilt came faint scream-like sounds.
-Kiiiii…
Listening carefully, they were Gatpa screams.
The void stone contained the fear of the 100 Gatpa I had killed so far.
This seemed to have become the weapon’s passive skill, [Fear Status Infliction].
The more living things I kill with the [Sword of Calamity],
the stronger the passive skill becomes, I suppose?
‘I thought it was a lacking weapon because it was incomplete…’
It’s the opposite.
This is incredibly good, isn’t it?
-Drip…
On the red blade, droplets like blood flowed and pooled as if alive.
It might look eerie,
but I actually liked it.
It looks strong!
“Hehehe…”
The weapon wasn’t the only thing I gained.
Conquering demonization doesn’t give separate reward boxes like in the Tower,
but it gave an enormous amount of experience points.
Thanks to that, my level, which had been rising sluggishly, is now!
It’s a combo skill.
But what’s this special skill 【Execution】?
‘Touch of Death’ ‘executes’ the target…?
I won’t know this until I try it.
I’ll test it later.
I closed the skill window.
Now that all the Gatpa have been dealt with…
It’s finally time to leave Tsushima Island.
