Chapter 116
116: Lov Korea (3)
Though Jisoo Kim crashed against the wall, he quickly regained his senses and gripped his shield. His mace had fallen beneath Dohyun’s feet, leaving him with only the shield as a defense.
Just then, after an intense exchange with Hanalin, Jahyeon Gu’s healing magic finally reached Jisoo Kim to support him. Simultaneously, Jahyeon Gu’s voice transmitted through communication magic to all members of the Lov Korea Party.
-This isn’t something to take lightly. Everyone, focus.
At those words, everyone nodded. And Elliot, too, prepared to exert his full strength, speaking with a grave tone through communication magic.
-I’ll handle that one who appears to be the leader. Mincheol and Jisoo, you take on that swordsman. Jahyeon and Yeonsu, you handle the mage.
Though Elliot typically appeared lighthearted and somewhat eccentric, no one among them objected or offered a different opinion. At the same time, Elliot looked at Dohyun before him and thought.
-Even if I exert my full strength, I can’t gauge him.
His physical abilities were clearly inferior to Dohyun’s. He’d felt it distinctly during their sword exchanges and various combat interactions.
However, his mana control and concentration were so exceptional that despite his lower physical capabilities, he possessed the power to compensate. Yet even so, something felt off. At this level, he should have been able to estimate the outcome to some degree.
He should have gained some sense of whether he would win or lose, but Dohyun felt like nothing at all.
As if he rejected every attempt to probe him.
Conversely, as Elliot gazed into Dohyun’s grayish-white, lustrous semi-transparent eyes, he felt as though Dohyun saw through everything instead.
Sensing that feeling, he recalled having experienced something similar before.
The one standing before him now was no mere novice Hunter.
-A genius—no, a monster.
While Elliot wore such a grave expression, Dohyun couldn’t help but smile wryly as he observed him.
『Elliot』
『Characteristic: Morning Star Knight [B]』
Sensing a considerable level of power even among the Hunters he’d recently encountered, Dohyun nodded with evident interest. This was certainly mid-tier strength among C-rank Hunters. Especially since Elliot exuded even greater potential, Dohyun’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
And he asked.
“Is that your order?”
After observing the overall situation—Jiyuchan clashing with Mincheol Han and Jisoo Kim, and Hanalin facing off against Yeonsu Lee and Jahyeon Gu—he posed the question, which Elliot understood perfectly.
And Elliot answered Dohyun without reservation, nodding his head.
“Yes, it’s my order.”
“Interesting.”
Though Dohyun spoke only in silent admiration, Elliot could discern his intent.
Reading Dohyun’s underlying meaning—whether he could manage alone compared to the others—Elliot chuckled softly.
There was no helping it.
Elliot spoke to Dohyun, who was smiling in that manner.
“I’m worth three people, after all.”
As Elliot charged forward with those words, Dohyun grasped his spear and activated a skill. The first skill he employed was Dragon Slayer’s Will combined with Oppression. However, this differed from the combinations he’d used previously.
The faint Severance attribute inherent in the mana itself became imbued with the aura of death, and as that death aura intertwined with Dragon Slayer’s Will and merged with Oppression, it transformed into a single wave that shot toward Elliot.
An intangible wave of darkness surged toward Elliot, but he drew forth an orange blade aura he hadn’t yet used and swung his sword toward the wave of death.
As the orange blade aura severed and split the darkness-like death wave, light surged forth, announcing to the world that dawn had broken.
The brilliantly shining blade aura, like rays of light itself, flew toward Dohyun, and he, gripping his spear, wielded it with the principle of spiraling motion away from the center point. The spear then rotated, wrapping itself in the morning-star-like blade aura, and sent the blade aura back toward Elliot.
“…!”
As his own blade aura returned in an instant, Elliot momentarily faltered in surprise while evading it, and in that moment, Dohyun rushed forward like a meteor, trailing a long grayish-white tail. With his spear, Dohyun descended upon Elliot in a flash, prompting Elliot to quickly raise his sword to block the attack.
However, as Dohyun thrust his spear with even greater force, lifting his foot toward the end of the spear shaft, it flew like an arrow toward the sword Elliot had raised.
When Elliot’s sword energy infused with the will to defend collided with the spear I hurled forward after kicking its shaft with my foot, channeling the concept of penetration, fragments of energy tore sharply through the air and erupted in jagged waves around us.
Kwajiiiiiiiii———!!!
The entire battlefield momentarily fell into disarray as energy ravaged all directions, and seizing that opportunity without hesitation, Jiyuchan and Hanalin stepped forward to seize the advantage.
After that, Elliot couldn’t withstand the force of the spear I’d thrown and, though not as severely as Jisoo Kim had been, was driven back forcefully until he collided with the wall. Looking down at his tingling wrists, his hands trembled noticeably.
His combat sense was utterly indescribable.
He’d never imagined I could amplify the spear’s power by kicking the shaft’s end with my foot.
But the real battle was only beginning.
I charged forward again with a greatsword in hand, having abandoned the spear, and Elliot swallowed hard.
Taking a brief moment to glance around, he realized that not a single member of the Lov Korea Party was overwhelming the Dohyun Party.
Rather, we’d seized the advantage just now, and all their members were being gradually pushed back. Watching me rush toward him, Elliot could dimly sense it.
‘This is insane.’
Feeling the truly enormous gap, Elliot raised his sword.
He couldn’t simply lose just because he was at a disadvantage, so he raised his sword to resist me, giving it his all. After twenty-five minutes had passed since that first collision between the two parties, Elliot fell to his knees.
Though the match hadn’t lasted particularly long, all of us—myself, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan—could feel it.
We certainly felt that C-rank Hunters possessed a tenacity different from before, but the Dohyun Party felt something else as well.
Realizing that our strength had reached the C-rank level, I smiled and called Han Muyeol, saying this:
“Let us enter tomorrow right away.”
Han Muyeol seemed surprised by my words, but I didn’t mind.
-…Very well.
I simply smiled, thinking only of entering the C-rank Zone tomorrow.
Thinking of finally seeing the faces of those Villain bastards who’d been slaughtering Earth’s Hunters.
* * *
Upon hearing news of the Dohyun Party’s victory, Han Muyeol could only shake his head in disbelief.
The Lov Korea Party led by Elliot was a party with the potential to rise all the way to B-rank, so he’d never even imagined they could lose in a single match, yet the news that the Dohyun Party had won from the start was quite a shock to Han Muyeol.
Simultaneously, Han Muyeol recalled the Dohyun Party he’d seen yesterday.
The subtle principle he’d grasped yesterday had brought about such a tremendous increase in power, which was so absurd that he shook his head.
“Perhaps….”
He had a premonition that their story would spread from this C-rank Zone, and he squeezed his eyes shut.
The Dohyun Party’s status mustn’t be revealed yet. While it was true that C-rank Hunters were strong, if the dark currents extended their reach, it would be quite difficult, so it would be problematic if word spread to other countries.
With that, Han Muyeol considered various measures.
Then he muttered as if he had no choice.
‘If word spreads, I’ll have to personally oversee the three of them for a while.’
There was no more reliable protection method than that. As if he had no choice, Han Muyeol felt troubled and recalled Hwang Hana, who had first told him about me.
Thinking he should have made more preparations when he’d heard the story from Hwang Hana, Han Muyeol harbored considerable regret, and he approved entry into the C-rank Zone for tomorrow along with a new temporary identity for me.
Though there was still some unease, there was no way to stop me when I wanted it so badly.
Still, the C-rank Hunters had returned alive, and through their testimony, he’d learned that the Villain group corresponded to at least the mid-level of C-rank Hunters, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.
At the same time, just in case.
“…Just in case, I should send Choe Phil’s party along as well. Phew, Choe Phil might refuse since he’s that type these days.”
Though he hadn’t been promoted yet, the Association decided to attach Choe Phil’s party—the strongest C-rank party in the Association—to me as well, and he began processing various matters to send Choe Phil’s party.
Convincing Choe Phil, who’d been reluctant to enter in the first place, proved quite troublesome, but through the Association President’s authority, he managed to arrange for them to be sent.
Though the Dohyun Party kept Han Muyeol occupied, he found himself clicking his tongue without realizing it—these days, there were so few Hunters who challenged with such spirited enthusiasm and vigor as Dohyun displayed.
“Tsk.”
Not a single one pleased him. With that lament, he returned his attention to his mounting duties.
* * *
After their defeat, the Lov Korea Party initially couldn’t lift their heads, consumed by shame.
They had made such bold proclamations, only to fall short. Yet it was the Dohyun Party who spoke to them first.
“We apologize for earlier. In our desire to provoke, we overstepped our bounds.”
At their courteous apology, the Lov Korea Party shook their heads, insisting it was fine.
Though initially embarrassed, they now felt an insurmountable wall when facing the three members of the Dohyun Party—and so they spoke with refreshed expressions instead.
“Not at all. We were arrogant too.”
“It’s obvious you’re all newcomers, so we underestimated you.”
“Whew, that was an excellent match.”
“Indeed. We’re actually grateful for this opportunity.”
As they all spoke in such harmonious tones, Elliot finally stepped forward before Dohyun and extended his hand.
When Dohyun saw Elliot in response to the handshake request, Elliot spoke to him.
“Let’s cooperate with each other if we meet inside the Black Gate.”
“Absolutely. The Lov Korea Party is trustworthy.”
“I too can trust Suhyun’s Party.”
And so they shook hands in harmony and parted ways. As the Dohyun Party separated from the Lov Korea Party, I turned to see Jiyuchan and Hanalin behind me.
Once the match ended and we were alone as party members, we prepared feedback for one another as we always did.
This time was especially important, having just grasped the essence of our techniques.
Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at me and spoke first.
“Infusing attributes was harder than during practice matches. I’m not used to it yet.”
“I stumbled quite a bit at first.”
“Right. But the more I used it, the more it seemed to click.”
“It was probably because it was closer to actual combat—that made the difference.”
At their feedback, I nodded in agreement.
There was certainly a subtle difference from practice matches, but all three of us had grasped the feeling—our expressions were bright.
Though we could have rested then, in Room 8 we all continued with light sparring matches to gain further insight, training repeatedly as our eyes burned with fervent determination.
