Episode 90

Tourang Squad Leader Woo Kyung.

This is the name of the superhuman (Hunter) who lost one arm to Isra.

“Urgh.”

His shoulder throbbed with pain.

Blood flowing down steadily.

He couldn’t carelessly use a healing spell.

If he used a potion or healing in this state, he’d have to live with a crippled arm.

If he received a high-level healing spell, his arm would grow back.

Of course, it was uncertain whether the Party would make such an investment in him.

Therefore.

With his eyes bloodshot, he focused on command and restraint.

‘The information was wrong. Jin Xiao, you incompetent inspector!’

C-rank level summoned beings?

Look at those monsters.

They have enough power to solo clear even B-rank Gates.

Those deployed in this operation aren’t ordinary superhumans.

Each one is expected to reach A-rank.

A drug secretly developed by the Party.

[Elixir of Weakening]

Grade: Unique

Category: Consumables

Restriction: None

Durability: 10/10

A forbidden elixir that suppresses power when consumed. Hunter rank decreases proportionally to the weakened abilities.

If the antidote isn’t taken within 30 days of consumption, abilities are permanently reduced.

They were all superhumans at the peak of B-rank.

But they suppressed their abilities with the Elixir of Weakening before entering the Gate.

Skills honed through harsh training.

The Tourangs deployed in this operation were specialists who had been involved in all sorts of covert operations.

‘Yet they’re being pushed around by a single C-rank?’

It was unbelievable.

The process of Woo Kyung losing his arm was the same.

Missing the Fireball.

A surprise attack targeting his obscured vision.

When he countered, magic flew at him as if it had been waiting.

‘That magic was strange too.’

It wasn’t an ordinary Wind Cutter.

They had brought stealth-type armaments, so their protective gear had weak defense.

Even so.

It wasn’t enough for a Wind Cutter to sever an arm.

But because it was enhanced with lightning energy.

It could cut off his arm in one strike.

‘It’s magic not in the Supernatural Affairs Bureau’s database.’

The beautiful woman who appeared to be Min-ho’s summoned being.

Every spell Ingrid used defied common sense.

Magic can’t be greatly altered from its predetermined arrangement.

Even with 100% understanding, you can only slightly change the form or concentrate it.

It’s an ability with less room for modification than warrior-type Hunters.

‘To think forces capable of subduing A-rank Hunters are struggling against a mere C-rank.’

Why the Party was paying attention to Min-ho.

He realized it after losing his arm.

Min-ho was dangerous.

If they couldn’t capture him here.

He had to die without fail.

‘5 minutes remaining. It’s getting tight.’

If it dragged on longer, it would be dangerous.

The operation wouldn’t end just by subduing Min-ho.

After capture, they had to escape the Gate and shake off the Rift Management Agency Hunters.

Though the Supernatural Affairs Bureau had made arrangements, it wouldn’t be easy.

Woo Kyung gripped a dagger in his hand.

‘There’s no opening.’

The undead horde had two axes.

Isra commanding from the front and wielding a sword.

Ingrid handling restraint with modified magic.

They had to take down one of them to have a chance of subduing Min-ho.

[Hide Dagger]

Clang!

The dagger flew at lightning speed.

The blackened blade was enchanted with [Recognition Reduction Lv 15].

A weapon specialized for assassination.

It was a stealthy attack that even B-rank Hunters with wide eyes would easily miss.

Clang!

【How cowardly. You’re no knight.】

Woo Kyung felt like he was going crazy.

How did she notice and block that attack?

“Knight or whatever, I’ll kill you.”

[Dancing Sword]

He spread out wire-connected daggers and threw them all at once.

Daggers with propulsion added through magical processing.

They shot out gracefully under the skill’s influence.

Ting! Ti-ting!

Isra’s longsword danced in the air.

Sparks flew in all directions.

Thunk! Thunk!

Unable to deflect them all, daggers lodged in her thigh and arm.

【Hmm. This is the first time I’ve seen such usage.】

Isra muttered as if intrigued.

She seemed unconcerned despite having daggers stuck in her body.

Isra’s essence was undead.

Even with blades embedded, not a drop of blood came out.

Her movement wasn’t greatly hindered either.

‘Can’t use it twice.’

He couldn’t scatter multiple daggers with one arm.

The daggers hung on wires were all expended in that attack.

Still, there was progress.

Though he couldn’t deal significant damage to Isra.

Crack!

While Woo Kyung tied her down, his squad members completely destroyed one Armed Zombie Warrior.

The other one was also heavily damaged.

If it had been a human, they would have suffered damage severe enough to die soon.

‘Finally gained the upper hand.’

In terms of objective strength, the Turang squad was superior.

Isra and Ingrid.

They had only held out thanks to the senses of the two vassals who had been absolute beings in life.

The precarious balance began to crumble.

It wouldn’t take long to subdue Min-ho.

‘We’re far behind schedule. Abandoning Plan A, going with Plan B.’

Cut off the arms and legs.

Plan B was to leave only the torso and carry it on their backs.

‘This is the price for a mere Korean trying to go against the great nation’s will, so accept it gracefully.’

Woo Kyung, who had been surveying the battlefield with murderous eyes.

Huh?

For a moment, he doubted his own eyes.

Min-ho, who had been under the protection of the undeads, had disappeared.

Escaped?

That was impossible.

Though an exit had appeared when the Fallen Necromancer died, it was quite far away.

It was impossible to escape there without making any sound.

Then.

Where.

Where could he be hiding?

‘Let’s sweep away those undeads first and then search.’

Woo Kyung gripped the dagger in his chest and gave orders.

“Mages. Focus on firepower!”

New instructions given to the ranged dealers who had been using restraint-focused magic.

When the scales of battle had tipped

He planned to push hard and finish it.

If the magic-type hunters used high-powered magic.

They could destroy all the remaining undeads and catch the hidden Min-ho too.

But.

Even 10 seconds after the order was given.

Why wasn’t any magic coming?

Min-ho’s minions were still fighting the Chinese Hunters.

The magic support had been cut off.

He had ordered powerful firepower but there was no action, so Woo Kyung angrily turned around.

At that moment.

Thud—

The sight of a mage squad member’s head falling to the ground was reflected on his retina.

* * *

Those guys called Turang or whatever were strong.

[Accumulated Life Force – 12%]

I had consumed most of my life force in just 3 minutes of combat.

“Hyung! Use our life force!”

“We’re fine, so please take it.”

I used additional life force obtained from the support team.

But the time it bought was only about 1 minute.

Those Chinese Hunter bastards had filled the gate entry limit to capacity.

Even if I held out longer, it would be hard to expect support.

I had to settle this here.

Wasn’t there some way.

【Hiiiik.】

Clang!

Zaugg let out a pathetic scream as he deflected the dagger.

Was it because of the Heavenly Martial Body’s enhancement.

Or was it thanks to the self-proclaimed treasure hunter’s skills.

He managed to block the daggers the Chinese Hunters threw targeting me.

Not enough to utilize as full combat power like the two vassals.

A body not enhanced with reagents and mana infusion.

Couldn’t expect much from his combat sense either.

Ah.

This uncle had an ability.

“Zaugg.”

【Hik! Yes, my lord!】

“You see that guy throwing knives from behind.”

【I’m no match for him.】

I didn’t tell you to mark him exclusively, did I?

“How long would it take to hide from that guy.”

【Are you planning to use an item ability?】

“Yeah.”

【It would be difficult with your current skill level, my lord.】

Anyone would think you’re a sword with how sharp your answers are.

【But it should be fine if he can’t see you.】

“In that case, how many seconds would it take.”

【Wouldn’t 2 seconds be enough?】

“Good. You buy the time.”

【Yes. What?】

“Block his view with your body.”

If there’s no blind spot, I have to create one.

The guy who seemed to be the commander was also moving around using buildings as shields.

I’ll target the moment his gaze falls away.

【It seems possible.】

“Give me the signal.”

【Now!】

No.

You’re saying it that fast?

When the guy who lost one arm moved below the wall.

I hid behind Zaugg’s back and used [Shadow Walk].

A skill that reduces presence.

Would it work on guys estimated to be B-rank hunters.

Holding my breath.

I stuck to Zaugg’s back and suppressed my presence.

2 seconds later.

After confirming the skill had activated, I showed my face.

Our eyes met.

But the Chinese Hunter’s pupils passed over me emptily.

Success.

Running away here would be amateur.

Right.

The Chinese Hunters.

People.

I have to kill them with my own hands.

Calm down.

This isn’t the first time.

It was the same when I fought scavengers who targeted the weak in Gates.

If I don’t kill.

I die.

Huuu.

Taking a long deep breath, the trembling in my hands subsided a little.

Recalling Zaugg’s teachings.

I walked between the collapsed buildings with as little force in my feet as possible.

Clang!

Sparks flew right next to me.

Kwaaaaang!

Even as the hot wind from the explosion’s aftermath dried my fur completely.

I held my breath and approached the Hunters in the rear.

Thump— Thump—

My heart feels like it’s going to burst.

If I’m discovered now, it’s all over.

Endure it.

The trembling of my heart.

Swallow down even the roughening breath.

I steeled my resolve and approached the Mage who was in the middle of Mana Rearrangement.

He hasn’t noticed yet.

[Blacksmith’s Soul]

A sword whose power was enhanced by the S-rank skill’s effect.

Slice—

I cut the Mage’s throat without much resistance.

No.

This isn’t the time to focus on such sensations.

The moment I swung the bone sword, the [Shadow Walk] effect disappeared.

I swung my sword at another Mage whose eyes widened in shock.

There was no time to use Defense Magic or items.

When the two Mages collapsed, scattering red blood.

I made eye contact with the Chinese Hunter who had lost his arm.

“You bastaaaaard!!!!”

The Chinese Hunter charged, kicking off the ground.

The distance I had walked for nearly a minute closed in less than 3 seconds.

[Death Space]

I immediately recalled Sir Isra and resummoned him.

【You cannot touch even a hair of my Lord without getting past me!】

[Physical Enhancement → Mana Emission]

[Imperial Swordsmanship (Modified)_Isra Form]

[3rd Form — Full Moon]

Clang!

Sword strikes clashing in midair.

In the first exchange, Sir Isra was pushed back slightly.

This time was different.

The sword in the Chinese Hunter’s hand went tang, flying through the air.

“How!?”

【You didn’t realize I was holding back my strength.】

More precisely.

I dramatically increased the Mana Emission output, raising even the sword strike’s power.

Sir Isra’s skill, revealed thanks to Heavenly Martial Body.

He struggled to lower his raised arm and attempt his next move, but.

[4th Form — Swift Bird]

Sir Isra was one step faster.

Slice!

With a flowing series of strikes, the man offered up his own neck.
