Chapter 92
#Episode 92
They must have been frozen quite solidly, as the demons were firmly bound and couldn’t move easily.
Immediately, the combat members including myself jumped down and mercilessly attacked the immobilized demons.
Since we couldn’t touch the ice foundation, the death force blades I launched into the air cleanly cut down the demons that tried to break free.
Between the chillingly clean cross-sections, the terrified demons began thrashing about frantically.
It was a desperate struggle for survival, but the ocean that Tin and Hunter Baek Do-hyeon had frozen in earnest wasn’t something that could be broken by such efforts.
“This side is cleared!”
“This side too!”
After smoothly exterminating the demons and melting the ice again, the demon corpses were swept down into the deep sea.
Unfortunately, they seemed to be quite intelligent creatures, as none fell for the submarine’s bait again.
‘Hmm… I suppose I should be satisfied with this much for now.’
If they knew what fear was, they wouldn’t come back up again.
At least with this much dealt with, it should be safe to travel the seas for a while.
Since we killed nearly 200 demons in a group, this was quite a good result.
“It’s unfortunate, but let’s head back for today…”
Just as I clicked my tongue and was about to turn the ship around, I felt a massive presence ascending from the deep sea.
“Oh no…”
Since it was caught on radar too, the AI desperately turned the ship.
The ship, moving at full speed with unpredictable movements, barely avoided the ascending object.
“…Wow, what the hell is that…”
“A giant cutlassfish…”
“That’s not a cutlassfish…”
A massive sea dragon so huge we had to crane our necks vertically to see it was looking down at us.
Its blue scales glittered sporadically in the sunlight.
It looked beautiful on the outside.
If only the vicious killing intent in those eyes wasn’t directed at us.
“It seems pretty angry, doesn’t it?”
“We can’t resolve this through dialogue, can we…?”
“Get it together, all personnel prepare for battle!”
The hunters who had been diligently collecting magic stones just moments ago gripped their weapons again.
From the power I could sense, it was naturally a demon at S-rank level.
However, the geographical characteristics were infinitely disadvantageous to us.
“How are we supposed to catch that thing…”
If we tried to do anything, it would obviously flee into the ocean, so we couldn’t move carelessly.
If we showed an overwhelming difference in power for no reason, it would clearly retreat to the deep sea and never come out again.
Then there was only one conclusion.
Kill it in one strike.
“Could you buy some time with the Japanese hunters?”
“Understood.”
“Hunter Baek Do-hyeon and Tin, stay behind.”
Like specialists who had hunted quite a few S-rank demons, they all easily understood what I was trying to do.
The spirits and the two spirit users began gathering their power.
I erased my presence and quietly scattered death force around.
The black mist that appeared stealthily began to quietly encroach on the surroundings.
Before long, thick death mist settled on the outskirts and a boundary was drawn.
A zone of death that any living creature would instinctively avoid was secretly completed.
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon and Tin were still gathering their power.
Right now, I needed to find a weakness that could kill the Antagonist in one blow.
My eyes, covered with death force, began to dissect and analyze the Antagonist.
Any ordinary attack would bounce off without even penetrating its scales.
You’d need to be at least an A-rank hunter to somehow manage to inflict a wound.
Even the wounds my companions inflicted were healed as seawater surged up and seeped into the wounds, as if nothing had happened.
‘It’s incredibly tough.’
If this were on land, honestly, it wouldn’t be that difficult an opponent.
Even if it had tenacious regenerative power, I could just kill it in one strike.
But this was above the ocean, practically the Antagonist’s home territory.
Human movement and actions were greatly restricted.
That meant a prolonged fight would ultimately be disadvantageous to us.
“Hyun-soo, we’re ready!”
“Let’s go right away without delay.”
I stepped on the deck and shouted toward my companions and the Japanese hunters.
“Retreeeeat! Everyone return to your ships!”
It was an inexplicable retreat order, but everyone returned to their ships obediently without questioning it.
And as if they had been waiting, Hunter Baek Do-hyeon and Tin released all the cold energy they had gathered in the sea.
Crack-! Crackle!
The absolute zero condensed to its limit instantly seized the ocean and violently gripped the Cheonma.
The two of them fulfilled their assigned duties, so now it’s my turn.
I kicked off the deck and flew up to stand before the Cheonma’s face.
Still unable to grasp the situation, the creature glared at me while thrashing in fury.
Those eyes that looked like large aquamarines were embedded in its head.
This was the weakness I had been targeting from the beginning.
“Heuuuup-!”
I concentrated my death force at the tip of Desperado and stabbed at its eyeball.
It reflexively tried to close its eyelid to defend, but mere eyelids, unlike the scales on its body, couldn’t block my attack.
Crack-!
Kuwooooooo!
The scythe that struck without mercy wounded the Cheonma’s eyeball.
Not stopping there, I directly injected my death force into the creature’s body with all my strength.
As the chilling aura of death seeped in, the Cheonma began thrashing madly.
Now I could finally see fear of death rather than anger.
Yes, this is how it should have been from the start.
But it was already far too late.
The death force embedded in its eye had sufficiently penetrated throughout the creature’s body.
Only then did I withdraw Desperado and step back to watch it writhe in agony.
I extended my hand to manipulate the death force within its body.
Following my command, the death force evenly distributed throughout its body began to bubble and boil like boiling water.
The Cheonma thrashed madly from the terrible pain felt throughout its entire body.
It shed tears of blood and let out screams, but my movements remained the same.
“Die.”
The moment I clenched my fist tight, the death force that had been boiling inside the creature exploded all at once.
Kwadeudeuk-!
The boiling death force manifested.
Whether it was tough on the outside but soft inside, the Cheonma’s scales fluttered wildly before completely stopping all movement.
The monster’s soul was completely annihilated and experience points were distributed.
Just one level for a single S-rank monster.
“What terrible cost-effectiveness.”
But with this, I reached level 90.
This means I can learn a new skill.
“We… we won!”
“Waaaah!”
Just as I was about to fully enjoy the joy of victory and the joy of a new skill.
Kurururung!
Suddenly the seawater began swirling, instantly swallowing up the Cheonma’s corpse.
It happened so quickly that there was no time to stop it.
Even the whirlpool disappeared without a trace after swallowing the Cheonma’s corpse, as if nothing had happened.
“…There must be something else in the deep sea.”
I didn’t particularly feel anything though?
Is it in a much deeper place than I expected?
It’s too deep to detect all the way to the deep sea.
Moreover, detecting through seawater is another problem entirely.
I briefly pondered how to deal with this.
This time, hundreds of water columns began appearing, shooting up into the sky.
Everyone gritted their teeth and clung to the ship at this phenomenon that seemed like an earthquake had occurred.
“What’s happening now all of a sudden!?”
The sea shook ominously, and a massive island began rising up.
It was an island with unique architecture that looked like buildings made from conch shells, and merfolk were moving about in panic on top of it.
Some were belatedly changing their tails to legs, while others still couldn’t transform and were gasping on the ground.
But among them all, only one caught my attention.
It was a creature holding a trident with a golden crown on its head.
‘A Monarch…’
I could tell just by glancing at it.
That creature is a Monarch.
And quite a powerful one at that.
In terms of pure strength, it’s stronger than Valentin as he is now.
It might be different if Valentin completes the spirits’ paradise, but the level of power I currently sense is definitely superior in that creature.
The creature that had been on the island flew up and approached the ship I was on, riding the waves.
As if showing no intention to fight, it released its grip on the spear and bowed respectfully to me.
“I pay my respects to the Monarch.”
It pushed the Japanese hunters far away with waves, as if they weren’t even worth considering.
Seeing how it approached only me, it seems to have intentions of conversing this time as well.
But that’s only assuming it comes in submissively from the start.
Kaaang-!
Desperado, swung in a surprise attack, was barely blocked by the creature’s trident.
The creature’s eyes trembled as it was pushed back by the distant waves.
“If you were going to bow your head and come in, you should have crawled from the beginning.”
After sending demons and even a sea dragon to test the waters, now you want to bow your head?
I’d rather pass on such a two-faced bastard.
The creature made a dismayed expression, then bit its lips.
“Excluding you, how many among the current Monarchs do you think could stand against me?”
It felt like a veiled threat to form an alliance with him.
Of course, if I were someone who would fall for such threats, I wouldn’t have pushed him away in the first place.
“Well, do I really need to know such things?”
“….”
Does a Monarch walking the path of supremacy really need to know such trivial things?
The phrase “enemy of all” doesn’t exist for nothing.
And more than anything, I’m confident enough right now.
What did Senior and I work so hard to death for?
“Even if a bunch of bastards like you came at once, I wouldn’t be scared. If you have any complaints, I’ll prove it to you right now.”
Clear death loomed.
The black mist that had densely filled the surroundings stealthily placed a scythe blade at the creature’s neck.
“…You’re doing something you’ll regret.”
Clang-!
The creature struck the mist with its golden trident and frowned.
“I am the Monarch of the Deep Sea, Marmoros.”
As Marmoros raged, the sea began to tremble.
The demons of the seafloor that had been hiding began to show themselves at their Monarch’s command.
Not only the sea dragon that had just appeared, but all sorts of bizarre seafloor demons revealed themselves in droves.
“Under the alliance of the deep sea, sky, and horizon, I will execute you.”
Those words weren’t lies, as I could see not only monsters emerging from the distant seafloor, but winged demons approaching as well.
It seems they plan to gang up on me since one isn’t enough to handle.
‘Acting all high and mighty, but resorting to ganging up.’
[Truly unworthy of the title Monarch….]
Desperado, summoned with a spin, roared pleasantly at the fierce battle about to begin.
‘Still, this is good. I can fight as if I’m previewing the Lord’s War, right?’
The exquisite energies of sky and sea glared at me.
The aura of death that didn’t yield an inch confronted them, sneering as if daring them to try.
“Oh my, to think you’ve already become this strong….”
Marmoros clicked his tongue in dismay and frowned, while the demons that appeared in the sky began clustering together.
Pure white wings gathered and merged, beginning to form a human shape.
Brilliant white light flickered, and finally a Monarch appeared holding a silver staff.
It was a Monarch with four pairs of wings on its back, at least two levels ahead of Marmoros.
Still.
I didn’t have the slightest thought that I would lose.
