Episode 31

#Episode 31

Startled by the sudden lightning strike, I reflexively checked the Cheonma’s corpse.

The beheaded Cheonma was definitely dead, not moving even slightly.

I naturally turned my gaze to trace the source of the lightning.

There was.

“…Ah.”

“This is fucking crazy….”

Five Cheonma were furiously shooting lightning like mad in their rage.

Judging by their smaller size compared to the first one I saw, they were likely offspring.

Fortunately, their main target wasn’t us but that red moon.

An enormous amount of lightning rampaged, bright enough to blind the eyes.

That power was far from inferior to the Cheonma—it was actually twice as strong.

After the breathtakingly powerful dance of lightning passed, the Cheonma began emerging from their nest in earnest.

“Wh-what do we do!?”

“Don’t move carelessly for now.”

All the Cheonma’s bloodshot eyes were directed at Judeok.

Though we were the ones who killed the Cheonma, Judeok’s domain was spread out extensively, so they seemed to have mistaken the culprit.

Of course, from my perspective, I didn’t care how it turned out, so just as I was about to quietly hold my breath with my companions.

Screeeeech-!

The Cheonma, who I thought would rush at Judeok, suddenly changed direction.

The place they rushed to was where the mother Cheonma’s corpse lay.

The offspring began devouring their mother Cheonma’s corpse as if they had made a pact.

The sight was disgusting enough to make me nauseous for a moment, but the problem was that the offspring’s power was visibly growing stronger after eating the Cheonma’s corpse.

“Hyun-soo, what do we do about that now?”

“Ugh… this is bad….”

I had been pondering how to use the Cheonma’s corpse, but an even bigger problem had erupted.

While eating the corpse, those bastards were emitting even stronger electrical attacks.

In a situation where even approaching wasn’t easy.

Taking down those bastards right now would be an incredibly difficult task.

How should I overcome this situation?

My brief contemplation was short-lived.

In that brief moment, the Cheonma who had devoured their mother stretched out their wide wings wildly as if stretching.

The condensed current was released, and an enormous amount of lightning devoured the ground.

The flowing current and the power I felt were clearly different from before.

To exaggerate a bit, it was like five Cheonma had been reborn.

I wondered what hunter could handle that right now—it was tongue-clicking impressive.

Even Judeok seemed overwhelmed by the tremendous power that could exert physical force through lightning, and momentarily stepped back.

It seemed even as a Bloodsucker, he felt a direct confrontation with those creatures would be burdensome.

‘Wait…? A Bloodsucker in direct confrontation? Huh?’

That’s right? Why should I, a human, have to handle that?

The Korean Peninsula is doomed anyway, right?

A wicked idea came to mind.

“Chul-woo, do you happen to have any provocation-type skills?”

“Yes, I do.”

“What’s the range?”

“Well… assuming the enemy is aware of me, about a 1-kilometer radius.”

“Good.”

The Cheonma weren’t paying attention to us, but they were definitely aware of us.

If Judeok went down, we’d probably be next.

Of course, this would only happen assuming Judeok would engage in a full-scale battle.

Judeok himself had no reason to fight for us, so he’d likely run away as things stood.

Just looking at how he was slowly backing away made that clear.

But what if I made it impossible for him to escape?

“Chul-woo, when I give the signal, use your provocation skill.”

“Understood.”

“You guys run like crazy to the car when I signal, and Yeo-ul, bring Seo Iram with you.”

“Got it.”

I observed the direction where Judeok was trying to slink away.

It matched the location I saw on the navigation.

The preparation was perfect.

Now then.

“Chul-woo, provocation-!”

“Yes!”

Kang Cheol-u roared while striking his great shield.

It wasn’t simply the sound of metal clashing, but a grating shockwave that struck the Cheonma.

The attention that had been focused on Judeok immediately concentrated on us.

“That’s it! Run to the car like hell!!”

At the same time, all party members rushed toward the car.

The Noeikjo took the provocation and started a beat late, so fortunately we had some leeway.

Judeok couldn’t seem to understand our sudden provocative behavior and was staring at us with strange eyes.

‘Stupid bastard, you’d be shocked if you knew where we’re heading right now.’

I put Kang Cheol-u in the back seat and grabbed the steering wheel.

“Chul-woo, please keep provoking them!”

“Understood!”

“Hyung, but where are we going!?”

At Jinu’s question, the corners of my mouth that I’d been holding back spread wide.

“We’re going straight to Seoul like this!”

My companions immediately caught on at the mention of Seoul and clicked their tongues.

“Wow, crazy bastard.”

“As expected of you, hyung-nim!”

“Ooooh! You bastards, over here!!”

Judeok watched carefully in the direction we were fleeing, then suddenly his expression twisted strangely.

It seemed that bastard had also belatedly realized where we were heading.

“These crazy bastards…!!”

One bloodsucker and five Noeikjo latched onto the car traveling at 120 kilometers per hour.

We charged toward Seoul while narrowly dodging the lightning bolts fired from behind.

“You think I’ll just let you go!”

Judeok’s enraged voice echoed thunderously, but the Noeikjo, intoxicated by the provocation, were blindly focused only on Kang Cheol-u.

“Try to catch me! Chicken soup! Fried eggs! Chicken stew! Fried chicken! Steamed chicken!”

“That kind of provocation works too!?”

“I’m not really sure!”

Beyond the provocation skill, he was fantastically taunting the Noeikjo.

As if he wasn’t the Korean Peninsula’s greatest tank for nothing, he perfectly performed his assigned role.

Judeok, who had been gritting his teeth while following, seemed unable to stand by any longer as he spread his wings and accelerated.

In an instant, Judeok’s rapier, having caught up to the front of the car, aimed at me.

“How dare you!”

Wrapped in darkness like a curtain, I lightly deflected the attack.

Since the sun had already set, my combat power was now at its peak.

Judeok wasn’t sharp enough to land an attack against the Lord of Dark Night who had subjugated darkness.

Moreover, since we weren’t fighting head-on but openly fleeing, the difficulty was even more challenging.

“You cowardly bastards!!”

Judeok, having lost his composure, gritted his teeth.

“This isn’t the kind of place I was saving this power for…”

Judeok, his face contorted with anger, grasped the pendant on his chest.

He took out the red gem embedded in the center and crunched it down like candy.

After swallowing the red gem like candy, Judeok’s power suddenly began to grow exponentially.

Red mist spread like crazy, and soon all that power was absorbed into Judeok.

He already possessed powerful strength rivaling S-rank before, but now it felt like some monster had awakened.

Shortly after, Judeok tore through the red cocoon and opened his eyes.

He wore light red full-body armor and his red wings had become even more blood-red.

The fishy killing intent I felt from behind was enough to make cold sweat pour down.

“Hyung, that thing really looks like a monster?”

“I thought we’d have a comfortable trip without fighting for once.”

“Uweeek, the smell of blood is fishy!!”

Jinu and Yeo-ul entered combat stance.

Darkness and flames burned with fighting spirit as all that killing intent directed toward Judeok.

Even receiving the killing intent from two top-tier S-rank hunters, Judeok didn’t lose spirit but rather burned with even more fighting spirit.

The sharpened momentum felt like a hole had been drilled through my heart.

“Ugh… This won’t be easy.”

“For now, we have to try as much as we can.”

After the two finished preparing and stared at Judeok for a moment, Kang Cheol-u glanced at me.

“My lord, do you know what our party’s core strategy was when I partied with Dohyun?”

“What was it!”

“First, throw Chul-woo.”

“…Is that really okay?”

“I think it’s an even better method now that I can revive even if I die.”

Kang Cheol-u and I made eye contact.

I glanced at Judeok following at a terrifying speed.

Kang Cheol-u also noticed my gaze, then suddenly smiled wickedly.

“My lord, you’re not thinking the same thing as me, are you?”

“It seems we communicate quite well indeed.”

“Great minds think alike.”

We’d talked enough up to this point.

All that remained was the execution to put it into action!

“Everyone hold on tight!!”

I slammed on the brakes hard and turned the steering wheel with all my might.

The car spun 180 degrees, and the Cheonma momentarily fluttered up in confusion.

Kang Cheol-u climbed over to the front seat and stood on the hood.

“Well then, I’ll be back!”

“Go for it!”

Kang Cheol-u leaped with all his strength, fell from the car, and charged straight at Judeok.

“You think such a pathetic method will work?”

Judeok’s rapier, swung as fast as lightning, pierced through Kang Cheol-u’s heart.

The rapier penetrated his heart and protruded out the other side of his back.

Normally, an ordinary human would be paralyzed by the fear of death and unable to move properly.

Judeok knew this too, which is why he smiled with a bloody grin.

But his opponent wasn’t an ordinary human.

He was a summoned creature who would just resurrect an hour later even if he died.

Moreover, Kang Cheol-u was an abnormally tough human.

The wound that pierced his heart recovered instantly thanks to Iram.

Unless his heart was completely torn out, such an attack couldn’t kill Kang Cheol-u.

“What…!?”

Judeok was momentarily shocked by the recovery ability that clearly transcended human limits, but it was already too late.

Kang Cheol-u suddenly embraced Judeok tightly and began frantically spamming his taunt skill.

The Cheonma, who had been momentarily confused when the car skidded, became even more enraged.

That rage became lightning and instantly poured down toward Judeok and Chul-woo.

Naturally, since he was tightly embracing Judeok, he took all those attacks together.

However, Kang Cheol-u had deployed a protective barrier beforehand at the cost of his lifespan, so he didn’t take much damage.

Judeok seemed to have taken quite a hit, as his entire body was charred black.

However, even these attacks weren’t enough to kill Judeok.

Judeok spread his wings, gripped his rapier fiercely, and struck the ground with all his might.

A powerful red shockwave burst forth, pushing Kang Cheol-u backward.

He must have used considerable force, as blood trickled down from Judeok’s lips.

“I can’t stand watching this farce any longer…”

His already sharp aura became even more filled with deadly intent.

As if he now intended a direct confrontation, a red storm began swirling above Judeok’s rapier.

With that level of combat power, he should be able to gauge what kind of strength we possessed, yet the fact that he wasn’t running away meant he was quite confident.

‘Even if we try to run now, he’ll catch up quickly… Hmm, I guess there’s no choice now.’

All my companions except Iram got out of the car.

The Cheonma also seemed to realize who the most dangerous enemy here was, as they began openly glaring at Judeok.

The empty surroundings were filled with red storms.

The chaotic blood-colored storm gradually took shape, forming something resembling a colosseum.

Within the massive battlefield, only Judeok looked down at us with a leisurely expression.

‘Hmm…’

I glanced at the Cheonma.

Monsters like the Cheonma are never stupid.

In fact, their intelligence alone might be smarter than humans.

I felt the same emotion as mine in those blue eyes of the Cheonma.

“Fine, this time only we’re temporary allies.”

The moment a common enemy appeared, the Cheonma opened fire first.

Beautifully gathered lightning began condensing to its limit.

Lightning compressed so powerfully it appeared as white lines shot toward Judeok.

“I told you, this kind of farce is over.”

With just one flap of his wings, Judeok appeared behind the Cheonma and pierced through one Cheonma’s heart.

The blood spurting from the Cheonma’s heart was absorbed by Judeok in a bizarre manner.

“Hmm… This is quite… thrilling.”

One Cheonma died instantly.

The creature, turned into a mummy-like state as if all its blood had been drained, crumbled away.

Everyone except me seemed to have missed Judeok’s movement and gasped in shock.

In a situation where there was a considerable difference in power, Judeok sneered.

“From now on, no one can leave this place until we settle this, even if that someone were me.”

It was essentially the same as saying he would kill us all, but a smile was blooming on my lips.

“Oh really?”
