Episode 45
#Episode 45
As we moved fairly close, the Snow Golems seemed to have spotted us and began gathering among themselves.
“Do you think we can communicate with them?”
“Well… their lifestyle seems similar, but I don’t sense any life force.”
“So they’re just human-shaped monsters.”
“That’s right.”
Hunter Kang Cheol-u stepped forward just in case and shouted.
“Excuse me, is there a representative among you-!”
The response to his voice that echoed loudly across the snowy plains was quite bitter.
The Snow Golems scowled deeply and gathered their magical power among themselves.
Then they placed a javelin made of magical power on a large ballista and fired it at Kang Cheol-u.
It was clearly an attack filled with killing intent.
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon sighed and blew on the small flame in his hand.
The flame that flew away as a small butterfly collided head-on with the javelin and melted it completely.
The Snow Golems who saw this were startled, and an emergency was declared on the fortress wall.
More troops appeared and began moving quickly among themselves, preparing for battle.
“It seems they have no intention of talking?”
“They really are just human-shaped monsters.”
“Of course, no one would try to talk to goblins just because they built a village to live in.”
“When you put it that way, it makes sense.”
My companions sighed deeply and finished preparing for battle.
“There are quite a lot of them. Do we have to break through all of that?”
“We have to do it to summon Han Bingrong. It would be better if we move violently.”
Fighting so openly when a stealth attack would barely be enough.
It was like putting our heads in a tiger’s mouth, but if we had enough power, the situation would be different.
“Since it’s come to this, I’ll start first.”
There was one thing I learned from the previous decisive battle with the Bloodsucker.
Rather than attacking only with weapons, I could exert powerful physical force by highly compressing my energy.
Just as the Bloodsucker created spears, I also compressed the energy of death to create a black spear.
Though it was only one, the energy felt from the spear was so sinister it couldn’t even be compared to those blood spears.
A spear barely 2 meters long was emanating destructive energy above my hand.
“What is that thing again…”
“I don’t even want to get close to it…”
“I feel like my solar plexus would be pierced even if I gave up my entire lifespan.”
It was powerful enough to make none other than Baek Do-hyeon and Jinu step backward.
I chuckled and planted my left foot firmly on the ground. Then I twisted my upper body and threw the spear with all my might.
The pure white snow exploded and scattered from the sonic boom as the spear shot at overwhelming speed and struck the city gate head-on.
There was no way a fortress wall built with monster power could block death itself.
Kwaaaaang-!
Eventually the fortress wall itself collapsed and a huge hole was pierced through.
As if that wasn’t enough, the spear that penetrated the fortress wall ground up the buildings that existed inside.
The Snow Golems stationed on the fortress wall fell and their bodies were shattered to pieces.
The Snow Golems, who had no organs or even bones, just crumbled like snow.
“Whoa.”
“That’s tough.”
With a single attack, all enemies within a 300-meter straight line were cut down without being able to resist even once.
But the scene visible beyond the pierced fortress wall was even more absurd.
As if the area I had blown away was just a drop in the bucket, countless residential areas and buildings visible beyond the fortress wall were densely gathered, forming what looked like a nation.
My companions who were watching from the side clicked their tongues as if disgusted.
“Can I still call you the same human as me?”
“Of course, naturally.”
“Is it my turn now?”
Baek Do-hyeon, who had been watching from the side, began preparing a fire attribute attack as if he couldn’t lose.
An even brighter light began gathering at his fingertips that held flames.
Baek Do-hyeon’s magic, having gained wisdom through dying several times, was clearly different from before.
A magnificent energy bared its teeth from the pure white light gathered at his index finger.
He raised his right hand as if shooting a gun.
“Bang!”
And really like shooting a gun, he shouted and fired the flame gathered at his fingertip.
Thirty red magic circles gathered in front of him overlapped, further amplifying the already powerful firepower.
When the single ray of light shot from his hand went through the magic circles’ enhancement, it became a giant pillar of fire.
It was an attack like a dragon’s breath, so I could see the Snow Golems being terrified.
But as if the enemy hadn’t built such a kingdom for nothing, a giant ice shield that appeared began blocking her attack.
It didn’t seem like an ordinary ice shield as the flames weakened while the shield also melted together.
In the end, Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s breath was blocked by that ice shield.
The ice shield was also 90% damaged.
It seemed that the five monsters wearing ice armor visible over there had deployed it together.
Among them, two had their upper bodies melted and stopped moving.
“You blocked… that?”
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon also blinked in surprise when his serious strike was blocked.
Since Han Bingrong hadn’t even revealed itself, he thought such rabble could never block it.
The other companions were equally shocked.
“Hmm… so this is their main base after all.”
“It won’t be easy this time either.”
Shortly after, when the attack subsided, an enormous number of Snow Golems began walking out from within the fortress wall.
They were all wearing blue ice armor and openly wary of us.
Among them, naturally, the one they were most wary of was me.
“The more I think about it, the more curious it gets.”
“What? The Snow Golems?”
“Yes, I wonder if there’s a reason Han Bingrong would specifically summon humanoid monsters instead of other monsters.”
“Hmm…”
Monsters that appear around Makyeong are heavily influenced by their master.
But humanoid monsters around Han Bingrong, who isn’t even a humanoid monster itself, was clearly strange.
It’s not like Han Bingrong is a monster friendly to humans either.
Wasn’t Han Bingrong the one who destroyed Gumi city and carried out a massacre?
“I just can’t understand it.”
“More than that, shouldn’t we start preparing?”
“Why should I?”
I quietly stepped back and sent my companions forward.
Of course, Seo Iram, the healer, was smiling gently beside me.
“Go handle them, and preferably let Jinu have the finishing blows.”
At my response, my companions looked back and forth between me and where I had blown things away, then finally nodded.
“That’s reasonable.”
“If Hyun-soo joins the fight, it would be overkill anyway.”
“We need to train Jinu too, so this is right.”
Soon my companions began fighting the approaching monsters.
It started as a surprise attack since they had no intention of giving them time to fully reorganize.
I quietly watched from behind while looking beyond them.
‘Well, it’s not exactly for that reason that I stepped back…’
Beyond there, deep in Gumi.
A powerful presence was watching us from within the castle made of ice.
‘Is Han Bingrong really this strong?’
I couldn’t sense the presence of offspring or other dragons.
Just Han Bingrong’s individual power was protecting this entire kingdom.
It probably noticed my gaze too.
The magical power subtly probing at me contained faint fighting spirit.
Yet not revealing itself directly – was that leisure, or caution?
Perhaps it was looking only at me, not my companions.
‘Hmm…’
I quietly summoned Desperado.
Just from that alone, I could feel the magical power directed at me growing thicker.
‘Was it watching me from the beginning?’
If it wanted to engage in this kind of psychological warfare, I had no intention of avoiding it.
‘This is the first time manifesting magical power at this distance…’
Magical power is death force, and there are no limits before Great Death.
I wasn’t trying to attack.
I was manifesting death force in my vision to give pressure, just like what it was doing.
Sharply honed death force traveled through my vision to point at Han Bingrong far away at the top of the castle.
The black death force that flew along with my vision eventually reached Han Bingrong.
Receiving my death force, it startled and trembled.
It seemed to think only it could engage in magical restraint at this distance.
‘This is interesting.’
I openly glared at it with killing intent.
The blue-scaled dragon twisted its body in displeasure at the black killing intent piercing its neck.
Even though it was pressure that would make an ordinary person faint on the spot, Han Bingrong only snorted in displeasure.
Befitting the weight of power that name carries, it didn’t seem to be easily pushed back.
In any case, one thing was certain: that creature was keeping a close eye on me.
It was more cautious than I had thought.
When I glanced back at my companions, surprisingly the situation was evenly matched.
The enemies’ level wasn’t high, but their numbers were overwhelmingly massive.
Normally, when such a number of enemies poured forth, one’s momentum would be broken, but Jinu was enjoying a state of ecstasy thanks to the rushing experience points.
“Well then, shall I go pay a visit?”
“Huh? Oppa, where are you going?”
Seo Iram, who had been watching the battle with me, blinked her eyes.
“Just going to see the face of the homeowner.”
“Okay, got it!”
After giving buffs to my companions who were excited from fighting, I headed toward the castle where Han Bingrong was.
Even though I flew there with Death Dancer activated, the distance was quite considerable.
Just as I was flying at a terrifying speed, stepping lightly across the rooftops of buildings.
Kaaang-!
An ice arrow flying at supersonic speed aimed for my eyes.
Since it wasn’t fast enough to keep up with Death Dancer’s movements, I deflected the arrow with my index finger.
As if this was just the beginning, arrows pouring down at tremendous speed created an anti-aircraft network.
Since anyone could see this was obviously Han Bingrong’s interference, I clicked my tongue.
‘She’s not an idiot, so she should know something like this can’t stop me.’
When I infused Desperado with death energy, the weapon emitted black waves as if stretching after waking up.
I swung the scythe at the ground packed with buildings, as if sending a light warning.
Zzzerrk-!
The crescent moon-shaped death energy that poured onto the ground exploded.
The black crescent swept forward, creating a huge clearing.
Then the arrows flying at me instantly stopped.
Now the distance to the castle had become close enough for even ordinary people to see.
I pointed the tip of my scythe at the castle and shot twice as much death energy as I had before.
It was an incredibly arrogant action, but this world is a place where such things work.
Unable to withstand my pressure any longer, Han Bingrong finally emerged from the castle.
She had the form of a woman with snow-white hair and sapphire-like eyes, but upon seeing me, she changed back to her original form.
A beautiful dragon with an exquisite harmony of white and blue colors revealed herself majestically.
Han Bingrong, who appeared before me flapping her blue wings, growled lowly and tried to drown me in her blue eyes.
She unleashed Dragon Fear as blue magical waves burst forth.
The powerful wave swept over my body once.
Though I had been thinking of her lightly, I could tell from that moment.
Han Bingrong had become incomparably stronger than before.
A brief standoff continued between her and me.
Just as I was briefly contemplating whether I should use my full power, Han Bingrong spoke first.
“Are you the lord of this generation?”
“…What?”
