Chapter 75
75: Scarecrow (3)
Craaaaaaash———!
The brilliant beam of frost seemed to pierce through Gallaclro, but in that instant, he twisted his body and offered up one arm. Gallaclro’s arm froze solid, and Dohyun seized the moment perfectly, dropping a lightning bolt that struck the limb dead-on.
Then.
Crackle crackle———
Shatter shatter shatter—
Clang.
Gallaclro’s frozen arm shattered into countless fragments and scattered across the ground.
Witnessing this, Gallaclro raised his scythe again despite losing the limb, and as Jiyuchan shot forward like a golden arrow, rushing toward Gallaclro’s exposed flank with one arm destroyed, he swung his golden-tinged blade in a single arc. Gallaclro met the attack by swinging his scythe to block.
Though Gallaclro’s swing was clumsy—his balance compromised by the missing arm—Jiyuchan still received a powerful impact and was driven backward.
Whoooosh———
His legs braced firmly, yet he was helplessly pushed back. Dohyun rushed toward Gallaclro and swung his blade, and the creature blocked the attack with his scythe once more.
Clang———
Yet without one arm, his balance was off and his strength insufficient, but Dohyun, like Jiyuchan, was driven backward. Jiyuchan bounced off the ground and charged forward again, and just as Gallaclro was about to swing his scythe, a lightning bolt flashed and flew toward his solar plexus.
Crackle crackle crackle———
As the shimmering lightning became a spear and flew at him, Gallaclro seemed irritated, tossing his scythe aside. He thrust his arm into his own chest and rummaged about, withdrawing something.
As he pulled out that something, several things fell to the ground, but Gallaclro had no time to concern himself with such trifles—his attention fixed solely on what he held.
What Gallaclro had retrieved was the head of a Lion, its mane matted with blood and rendered grotesque.
Gallaclro opened his straw-woven mouth wide and bit down savagely on the Lion’s head.
As the lightning belatedly attempted to pierce through Gallaclro’s solar plexus, a curtain of darkness suddenly unfurled in midair, and the lightning was blocked by that veil of shadow.
Craaaaaash!
The tremendous impact shook the darkness curtain, but seeing it remain unblemished and steadfast, Dohyun, Jiyuchan, and even Hanalin—who had cast the spell—all furrowed their brows.
They attempted to attack further, but then the creature muttered something.
“…Ah …close …sk… use… must… …ing… na.”
With those words, Dohyun watched as countless heads sprouted from Gallaclro’s body, his expression twisting in revulsion.
He couldn’t even comprehend how many heads were blooming from the creature’s form, nor did he wish to.
The darkness curtain claimed twenty of those heads, still maintaining its presence, while Gallaclro sacrificed another twenty heads to regenerate his shattered arm anew.
As the wound they had inflicted with all their might recovered in an instant, a sense of futility flickered across Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s faces.
But Dohyun realized this was far from the end and wore an expression of dismay.
Watching the heads sprouted from Gallaclro’s body crumble to powder all at once, with that powder being absorbed into his form, Dohyun could discern what was happening.
What Gallaclro was doing right now.
“This is insane.”
[『Galarkro Headricks』 uses the dark magic—『Aesthetics of Sacrifice [A]』 to temporarily elevate the skill 『Physical Modification [B]』’s rank.]
[『Galarkro Headricks』’s physical stats surge.]
[『Galarkro Headricks』’s body transforms.]
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 50▶60」
▶「Agility: 60▶70」
▶「Endurance: 60▶70」
▶「Mana: 65」
※Currently under the burden of 「Physical Deterioration」.
※Currently under the burden of 「Skill Restriction」.
My stats had surged from their previous levels, each increasing by ten points. Though the burden of physical deterioration meant I couldn’t fully utilize all seventy points, I could unmistakably feel a power that transcended C-rank Hunters entirely.
Dohyun sensed that ominous presence, felt the wave of power rippling outward in undulating surges, and cold sweat began to bead on his skin.
And it wasn’t just Dohyun who felt it.
“…This is no joke.”
“…What is this…?”
Hanalin and Jiyuchan also felt it, their skin crawling with dread.
As I sensed that ominous presence, my mind went blank.
Just when I wondered if we could even win this, hope materialized before my eyes.
※Additional burdens will accumulate.
As my stats surged, the burdens imposed on Galarkro Headricks increased proportionally, and I caught the shift immediately, my eyes gleaming with recognition.
Watching Galarkro Headricks still recovering his body and amplifying his power within the veil of darkness, I conveyed my words through mana so only Hanalin and Jiyuchan could hear.
-That creature will soon be bound by the new burden.
Neither of them bothered asking how I knew.
The moment they heard those words, they both understood it was their opportunity.
As I observed the surge of power emanating from Galarkro Headricks, I spoke again.
-When I give the signal, you must attack.
Both of them nodded silently at my words. Simultaneously, Galarkro Headricks had finished digesting the Lion’s head he’d first seized, and now the tawny-red fur of the Lion began sprouting upward through the straw. A rustling sound filled the air.
Fwooosh.
At the same time, a luxuriant mane bloomed from the Scarecrow’s head, and the Dohyun Party could now see Galarkro Headricks transformed into the exact likeness of Solark, the enigmatic Leonid Race entity.
And he unleashed Roar, one of Solark’s skills from life.
“KRRRRAAAAAAHHHHH———!!!”
The wave of fear spread outward, sweeping across Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan, but Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who had already undergone extensive training in oppression and fear resistance under Dohyun’s guidance, broke free instantly.
And I—
[『Analysis』 succeeds. Neutralizing.]
Analysis resolved it for me.
The moment the Roar erupted, the veil of darkness vanished without a trace, and Galarkro Headricks’s mouth split wide in a maniacal grin as he spoke.
“Kahahahahaha!!! So this is the sensation of possessing a physical form!!!”
Even as he spoke, a tingling Roar continued to pour forth, and the surrounding walls reacted to it, fracturing and splintering. I frowned at the sight.
And looking at the creature that had grafted a body onto itself—
[『Galarkro Headricks』’s transformed body is being 『Analyzed』.]
[『Galarkro Headricks』’s body transforms into the Leonid Race.]
[Previously used skills are sealed.]
[You can now use skills that Leonid Race entities possessed.]
[『Galarkro Headricks』’s current skills are being 『Analyzed』.]
I saw it all and burst into absurd laughter.
“What?”
Seeing me laugh in absurdity, Galarkro Headricks paid it no mind and charged toward me, roaring.
“I’ll tear you apart first!!!”
As I spoke those words and watched Galarkro rush toward me, I opened my eyes wide as if there was nothing to contend with and used Teleportation—the technique I had been conserving all this time.
Without hesitation, I deployed it boldly, and as I vanished from that spot, Galarkro swung Solark’s massive foreleg toward where I had been, sweeping across the ground of the Labyrinth—a surface that was nearly indestructible—leaving five deep claw marks carved into it.
Kwagagagaga———!!!
Five jagged tears stretched from the floor of the Labyrinth all the way to the ceiling, as if a colossal beast had raked its claws across it. But I had already used Teleportation to appear behind Galarkro’s back, and the moment I did, I infused my blade with Sharpness while simultaneously weaving various spells together with the Golden Sword’s techniques.
Uuuuoooong———!!!
The sword, resonating with power pushed to its limit, rang out sharply. But I fell from midair onto Galarkro’s back and waited for my moment. That’s when a message appeared before my eyes, telling me the time had come.
※「You are receiving the Subordinate effect: Spatial Sense Deprivation.」
A new Subordinate effect—and one that was the worst possible curse for someone who had recently fought alongside the Dohyun Party—took hold, and I cried out.
“Now!!!”
With that shout, I plunged my blade—infused with mana pushed to its absolute limit—into the creature’s back.
Fuuuuk———!
I left the deeply embedded sword as it was and retreated backward. Galarkro shrieked in agony as the blade pierced through.
“Krehehehehe!”
Pain that I could never have felt back when I was merely straw—my original form—now spread throughout my entire body, and I couldn’t maintain consciousness.
This too was a weakness I had discovered through Analysis. So I laughed as if it were absurd, and in that moment, Jiyuchan also infused his blade with an excessive golden radiance before charging at the creature.
Jiyuchan also drove his sword into the creature’s body, but the Scarecrow—though its body had grown massive—was now suffering from the Subordinate effect of Spatial Sense Deprivation and couldn’t sense where Jiyuchan was or where he had gone.
“Wh-what is this———!!! Krehehehehehehe!!!”
The creature thrashed about in agony, but with each movement, its flesh sustained more wounds. Robbed of spatial awareness, it couldn’t do anything—and that’s when Dohyun and Hanalin drew their magic circles.
They had used Lightning Bolt countless times before, but it had never been permitted against Galarkro until now. Both prepared the spell, and I fired my Lightning Bolt toward the sword I had embedded, while Hanalin fired hers toward the sword Jiyuchan had driven in.
Its vision was still intact, so Galarkro belatedly saw what was happening and tried to undo its Body Modification to revert to its original form, but it was already too late.
The Lightning Bolts flew even faster, and the moment my Lightning Bolt and Hanalin’s Lightning Bolt reached the sword hilts.
Oooooooong———!!!
The excessive power that had been infused into the swords to their limit now accepted the power of the Lightning Bolts, and the blades, unable to endure any longer, released all their accumulated force. The hardened flesh shattered and burst outward from Galarkro’s body.
As the swords erupted from the body after the flesh had formed, Galarkro’s eyes widened in shock with no way to endure it. In that instant, the swords scattered in fragments, the creature’s body swelled, and then it burst forth with brilliant light.
Kwaaaaaaaaang————!!!
A tremendous shockwave shook the Labyrinth. The Dohyun Party, witnessing the impact from the closest vantage point, had prepared in advance, so they blocked it with mana barriers from Hanalin and myself.
Chaeaeng————
But the impact shattered the barrier, and when we generated a new one, it shattered again.
Chaeaaeng—————
As the shockwave engulfed Dohyun and Hanalin next, I moved in front of Hanalin and raised both my arms, and then intense heat and impact swept over us.
Kwaaaaaaa———
The shockwave from the explosion swept over us like that, but as I watched my body slowly regenerate, I thought that without the Guardian’s body, this would have been disastrous. I even used Muscle Recovery to heal myself, and then Hanalin, who had regained her senses from the explosion’s impact, looked at me and asked urgently.
“A-are you okay!?”
“Ugh… I think I’m dying.”
I, who had never uttered a weak word even once, spoke like that and laughed, and seeing my wounds gradually closing, Hanalin let out a relieved sigh, grateful that I would be fine.
And then I could see it.
Galarkro, turning to dust and disappearing from the epicenter of the explosion.
“…S…a…v…e…m…e…”
Unable to finish its words, Galarkro vanished completely, and I confirmed that I had acquired points before laughing to myself.
And in that very moment, he lost consciousness while muttering.
“Claim the reward.”
Thump.
Watching Dohyun collapse in true Dohyun fashion until the very end, Hanalin and Jiyuchan—equally exhausted—found it absurd at first, then burst into genuine laughter.
“Pfahahaha.”
“Haha, that’s so like him.”
