Chapter 206
206: What is the Black Mist? (2)
* * *
KUOOOOOOOOOO———!!!
The shockwave swept across the surroundings, the ground inverted, and a deep crater formed before collapsing inward. Within the chasm, the earth had partially melted from the friction with the atmosphere and the lightning-like flames that had been unleashed, only to refreeze and transform into glass before my eyes.
Crack, shatter—.
CLANG——!
Crackle, crack.
It was a rare sight one might witness only once in a lifetime, yet the man who crawled back out from within that crater appeared merely irritated, his expression crumpling with annoyance. His pristine white coat was now singed, marred with wounds in various places.
The man cast off the white coat and swept back his hair, clearly revealing the head of a raven before gazing upward at the sky.
Then.
Whoooooooooosh—
CRASH——!!!
Something plummeted from above, landing in the immediate vicinity of the Raven Humanoid. The man’s expression darkened at the sight.
It was less a landing and more a fall, yet the man emerged without a single wound, prompting me to murmur.
“A Celestial? No, that doesn’t seem right. Is it transformation magic?”
After that murmur, as I saw the one who had kicked me here emerge, the hazy smoke cleared in an instant, and Dohyun walked out with a smirk.
“You recognize me?”
At those words, the Raven Humanoid regained his composure, nodding with a composed expression. Now that he had witnessed this transformation magic, understanding became possible. Though he had already considered Dohyun an extraordinary being after experiencing his consecutive strikes, the transformation magic confirmed it.
To wield transformation magic of this caliber meant he had to be a skilled practitioner beyond C-rank level.
The Raven Humanoid made his assessment and contemplated.
‘A high-level Mage might be lying in wait.’
The Raven Humanoid’s reasoning, unaware of Dohyun’s true identity, was actually sound. The consecutive strikes Dohyun had just displayed were martial arts by any measure. Yet he wielded such martial prowess while simultaneously employing high-level magic like that transformation spell?
Such an existence did not exist within the Raven Humanoid’s understanding. Even among the Superior Race, such a feat was not easily accomplished.
The Raven Humanoid continued his thoughts, gazing at the singed and thoroughly torn coat abandoned on the ground, and murmured.
“Sigh, that was a limited edition. My heart aches. You’ll need to compensate me.”
With those words, the Raven Humanoid’s form blurred before moving explosively toward Dohyun. Seeing this, Dohyun laughed as if he had expected it, watching the rapidly approaching Raven Humanoid.
Analysis was showing him everything about this creature.

※A Raven Humanoid.
※Number of Hunters killed: 758
※Can only acquire a single skill.
Formidable stats. And judging by the sheer number of Hunters he’d slain, his depravity was unmistakable. Dohyun nodded knowingly upon seeing this, and Karak Baroks—the raven man—shot toward Dohyun like an arrow, planting his feet in midair.
Then.
BOOM———!!
The moment his foot touched the empty air, an explosion erupted beneath him, and using that shockwave as a springboard, he launched himself upward once more before diving down toward Dohyun.
His speed was already considerable, but with another burst of acceleration, he became even faster, driving his fist toward Dohyun, who responded by channeling the Eternal Flame technique against Karak Baroks’s incoming strike.
The Eternal Flame burning in Dohyun’s fist blazed a deeper crimson, and as magic rippled through the moment, a heat of an entirely different magnitude enveloped his hand. Karak Baroks’s eyes twitched in response to that searing warmth, and the opening move of the Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique erupted from his fist.
Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique Third Opening: Flame Shattering
Explosive Shattering Inferno Fist Fourth Opening: Successive Flame Fist
As the two techniques collided head-on, releasing torrents of heat, the entire area suddenly exploded with brilliant light alongside those two forces, scattering devastating warmth in all directions.
WHOOOOSH———!!!
SIZZZZZZZ———!!!
The overwhelming heat melted everything around them in an instant, and explosions erupted, yet Dohyun and Karak Baroks, standing within that inferno, were merely pushed backward—neither showing any visible wounds. At least, not on the surface.
Karak Baroks, forced back, furrowed his brow inwardly.
‘What is this?’
Judging by his initial impression and recalling that first exchange, there was a considerable gap between Dohyun’s and Karak Baroks’s stats. Karak Baroks’s were at least seven or eight points higher. So why?
In that collision just now, despite Karak Baroks unleashing considerable power in his attack, it was he who had been pushed back. Evidence of this was his right arm, which now throbbed with a tingling numbness.
Furrowing his brow as he tried to suppress the sharp pain radiating through his trembling right arm, he questioned Dohyun.
“Where are you from?”
“Didn’t you see me come out of the Auction House?”
“So you’re affiliated with the Auction House….”
“No, I saw you coming out of the Auction House and followed you.”
“…What do you….”
It wasn’t wordplay, and irritation flared up in an instant, but Karak Baroks continued speaking to calm his arm.
Dohyun understood his intent well enough.
‘I need to gather information.’
After all, Analysis couldn’t help with information he had no clue about. First, he needed to listen and find a thread to pull, only then could he use Analysis.
So he listened silently.
As Dohyun engaged in conversation, Karak Baroks sensed that he wasn’t an obstinate sort and immediately continued speaking.
“Phew, I cannot fathom why someone of your caliber would bother following me.”
“Because you took what’s mine. Obviously I’d follow.”
“What’s yours?”
As Karak Baroks spoke as if confused, Dohyun replied with exasperation.
“That chain incense burner. It’s mine.”
“…An item you put up for auction?”
“No, it’s mine.”
Upon hearing Dohyun’s response, Karak Baroks’ expression flickered for a moment before he shook his head. He’d thought they could at least communicate since the other was willing to converse, but this was hopeless.
“You’re insane.”
“Yeah, I hear that often.”
“There’s no point in continuing this conversation.”
Karak Baroks said this and moved to leave, but Dohyun spoke as he watched him go.
“Your arm’s healed, I see. Come at me.”
“….”
At those words, Karak Baroks narrowed his brow and stared at Dohyun. The man had known everything from the start and still engaged in conversation—his arrogance knew no bounds.
Just as he’d said, he was mad.
There was no point in continuing to engage with him.
“I’ll kill you quickly and leave this place.”
“Not before you return my belongings.”
The moment their words ended, Dohyun and Karak Baroks rushed toward each other simultaneously. Karak Baroks kicked off the ground in a leap, then moved his feet through the air just as before, executing a technique.
Explosive Shattering Flame Prison Fist (爆碎炎獄拳) Second Form: Explosive Shattering Consecutive Steps (爆碎連步)
Boom! Boom! Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom!
Countless explosive sounds erupted as Karak Baroks’ form shot forward leaving afterimages, his speed eventually outpacing even sound itself as he thrust his fist toward Dohyun.
Dohyun observed this and thought to himself.
‘Fast.’
The footwork utilizing explosions was certainly interesting. But Dohyun sighed as though his interest had nearly died.
He intensified the Eternal Flame wrapping around both his fists and spoke.
“But if it doesn’t land, it’s useless.”
At those words, Karak Baroks looked at him as if asking what nonsense he was spouting, and Dohyun drove his fist—brimming with Eternal Flame—straight into the ground.
Then.
Roooaaaaarrrrr———!!!
The terrible heat of the Eternal Flame embedded in the ground instantly melted everything beneath both Dohyun and the approaching Karak Baroks, and in that moment, the erupting heat, the lava born from the melting earth, and the tremendous pressure all assaulted Karak Baroks’ body, freezing his movement in an instant.
Seeing Karak Baroks’ state, Dohyun’s leg moved, and he kicked the temporarily suspended Karak Baroks’ abdomen once more.
The same technique he’d used in his initial barrage.
‘Did he fail to learn that it doesn’t work?’
The moment Karak Baroks thought this, he realized something was different.
This wasn’t the same technique as before.
Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique (永劫火滅流) Fifth Form: Crimson Flame Shattering Tremor (紅炎崩震)
The lightning-like flame kick piercing through was the same as always. But Karak Baroks could feel it—the energy of the technique penetrating through and piercing the protective aura he’d constructed to shield his body.
Rupture-Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique (永劫火滅流) Fifth Form: Crimson Flame Shattering Tremor (紅炎崩震)
The Crimson Flame Shattering Tremor infused with rupture struck Karak Baroks’ abdomen like lightning, and flames with the ferocity to melt his internal organs pierced through his belly.
‘This… is!?’
Roooaaaaarrrrr———!
Grrrraaaaahhhhh!!!
A thunderous roar like that of a savage beast echoed as the rupture-infused Crimson Flame Shattering Tremor Dohyun had created pierced through Karak Baroks’ abdomen. Though his exterior remained intact, his internal organs had completely melted, and he vomited blood.
“Kueeehhhhh!!!”
What spilled forth wasn’t merely blood but chunks of liquefied organs mixed with gore, yet Karak Baroks didn’t lose consciousness and quickly retreated. Then he retrieved something from his magical pouch—something that should never have been used in a place like this.
A supreme-grade potion capable of restoring even severed organs—a potion worth a staggering one million points if converted to currency. I downed two bottles of it in rapid succession.
Two bottles, no less.
“Wow, so you’re loaded? Then why steal the goods instead of just buying them like a normal person?”
At Dohyun’s sarcasm, Karak Baroks let out a soft chuckle.
“Puhehe. You know everything, yet you still prattle on like that.”
“Know what?”
“If you came to me seeking this item, then you must already know my identity.”
“…Hmm.”
Watching Karak Baroks speak so suddenly, Dohyun decided to wait. He was curious to hear what would come next.
Seeing that Dohyun neither counterattacked nor spoke, Karak Baroks no longer harbored thoughts of him being presumptuous or arrogant. Rather.
‘…He has the qualifications for it.’
Despite having just narrowly escaped death as his organs melted away at Dohyun’s hand, Karak Baroks smiled with eyes gleaming with madness.
Such talent was always welcome.
“How about it now? Would you join us? We treat talented individuals like yourself with proper respect. If you come, I’ll even hand over my Branch Organization director position to you. No! With your caliber, you could reach even higher….”
Cutting off Karak Baroks mid-sentence, Dohyun asked.
“Sorry, but who exactly are you guys?”
“…Excuse me?”
“I mean, you should at least tell me who you are before recruiting me.”
At those words, Karak Baroks looked at Dohyun with an expression of bewilderment.
And.
‘What the hell is this guy?’
Unable to suppress a curse, he continued staring at Dohyun.
