Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 33
* * *
The center of the Ship Graveyard.
On top of the Giant Ship, Gidan slowly closed his eyes and opened them again.
The blinding rage had somehow sunk deep down inside.
A gentle breeze brushed past his skin like a light touch. The tension was just right for moving his body.
From the Puddle that bore traces of what was once the sea came the smell of blood and brine.
The Boy naturally recalled the Swimming Pool. And his Father’s booming voice too.
The situation was bottom of the 9th, 2 outs.
One runner on base.
Score 1:0.
Defeat was right before his eyes.
Gidan gripped his Sword while standing in the Batter’s Box (the area where the batter hits the ball).
[Activating Skill ‘Breath of the Dead’.]
[Activating Skill ‘Purple Blood Flow’.]
As he cast Skills in succession, the Black Blade greedily devoured the flowing blood. Magical power swirled around Gidan like a storm.
Before long, Malikian’s massive body turned toward Gidan.
– Human child, are you now afraid of death?
Malikian spoke mockingly to Gidan, who had been hiding his presence.
– Have you already forgotten the atonement you meant to achieve through death?
But Gidan was not easily shaken.
Now was not the time to simply rampage, but the time to truly accomplish something.
For a comeback victory.
‘The goal is a home run.’
He bounced his right foot and rolled across the Ground once.
In an instant, Malikian’s hand shot straight forward to grab Gidan’s body.
Gidan lightly jumped using that hand as a stepping stone to evade the attack.
During several rounds of chase, Malikian let out a hollow laugh at Gidan’s movements that exceeded his own speed.
‘His movements have gotten even better than before.’
Certainly this blood-reeking child’s reactions were incredibly fast and excellent. Frighteningly so.
Talent of this level at this age was rare even in his world.
‘However.’
Malikian deflected the Sword that was stubbornly pushing toward his chest.
‘His technique is shallow.’
Because of that, the Sword’s trajectory was rather orthodox.
Gidan suddenly changed direction and leaped toward Malikian along the ship hull.
– Foolish!
As he leaped toward him, Malikian gripped his great sword with all four hands, spinning it.
Ominous energy wrapped around the sword.
– Everything is useless before the great Biart!
Reading the direction of the great sword coming down in a straight line, Gidan twisted his body to the side.
Then the great sword instantly changed direction horizontally. At the same time, energy rising from the sword spread out like a net.
To Biart, who had roamed battlefields his entire life, he was nothing but a mere novice!
A brief moment of confusion crossed Gidan’s face at the unexpected movement.
With speed and movement that no one could demonstrate, plus the destructive power of a great sword, Biart was invincible!
Unless one had reaction speed surpassing his and movement skills that could perfectly evade it, there would be no choice but to helplessly take the attack.
It was the moment Malikian felt victory within his grasp.
Suddenly, Gidan bared his teeth and smiled.
‘…?’
Gidan’s main skills were only two. His experience, having awakened less than a year ago, was shallow.
However, the reason he could surpass Korea’s prominent hunters and rapidly rise to 5th place in the rankings in just a few months was-
Gidan spun half a turn in mid-air and dodged the attack.
His tremendous stats.
His innate combat sense.
And the buff skill that amplified these tremendously – Berserk.
The combination of his natural talents made his body react before his mind could even comprehend.
With keen senses, Gidan stepped on the tip of the great sword and charged forward at tremendous speed.
To avoid this, Malikian pulled his body backward.
In that instant, Gidan’s sword ‘Biart’s Yearning’ shot toward Malikian’s solar plexus like a thrust.
Under the relentless assault, Malikian’s back completely touched the outer wall of the ship hull.
Thud!
That’s when it happened.
Thwack.
[Skill ‘Blood Subjugation’ is activated.]
[Resisting debuff.]
It was a small snow duck.
It lay pitifully shattered on top of Malikian’s head.
– Ha!
Malikian burst into laughter, chuckling.
– So this was all you were aiming for.
Ridiculous. Though the little child has the power of a ‘Lord’, if he can’t use it, it’s like pearls on a pig’s neck.
– What will you do now that your only stronghold has failed.
But Gidan only looked up at Malikian with an expressionless face.
Three eyeballs spun around mockingly in circles.
– I won’t give back ‘Biart’s Yearning’!
That was the moment.
Thud thud thud.
– What?
Malikian looked up.
Heavy snow was pouring down.
‘No, those are all…’
Above Malikian’s head.
Han Gru stood tall on the ship railing, grinning as he bared his teeth.
* * *
*Perfect Command: Ignores the target’s resistance with a somewhat low probability.
After checking the duck clip’s function, Gidan let out a groan.
“Hmm… If it’s a somewhat low probability, roughly around 8%?”
“What’s 8%?”
“Have you ever done a lottery draw?”
Nod nod.
“It’s like a lottery machine where 92 out of 100 are duds, and 8 are candy. It could be even lower…”
In fact, it wasn’t clearly revealed by the system. It was just an inference made by researchers collecting hunters’ data.
Not only that, but Han Gru had to be the one casting it.
“It might be better to just run away rather than hoping for that 8% to hit…”
“Then what if I throw 100 at once?”
Gidan blinked at the method he hadn’t even thought of.
“Ah… No, this isn’t like a lottery where the duds decrease. So it means you have to keep drawing from a lottery with 8 candies out of 100…”
“Ah! Then even more?”
Han Gru asked nonchalantly as he took out mana syrup bottles from his bag and lined them up in a long row.
“…”
Before Gidan could say anything, Han Gru started drinking syrup and making snow ducks. The snow ducks quickly began piling up one by one.
The duck clip was a bound item. The debuff’s activation condition was for Han Gru’s snow ducks to hit Malikian.
If that became the condition for victory…
“Then wait just a bit. Your brother will stand guard in front.”
* * *
And now.
Gidan had definitely brought Malikian within Han Gru’s range.
Han Gru hugged a bunch of snow ducks in his arms and threw them.
Anxiety was always there.
How many Snow Ducks would be needed for such a low probability, whether Gru’s mana would run out before then, and even if all of that succeeded, whether we could survive and escape from this place.
Amidst countless uncertainties, there was only one thing we could be certain of.
The more attempts we made—
Countless Snow Ducks poured down like heavy snowflakes.
—the greater the chance that the debuff would work.
[Resisting debuff.]
[Resisting debuff.]
[Resisting debuff.]
[Resisting debuff.]
‘I have to avoid it.’
What moved Malikian was instinct. Though he couldn’t say for certain, it was to avoid the ominous feeling that would eventually crash over him like a tsunami.
But what blocked his path was ‘Biart’s Yearning.’
Whooom—
‘Biart’s Yearning’ in Gidan’s grip resonated menacingly as it thrust toward Malikian’s throat.
Because of this, he couldn’t avoid the last Snow Duck in time.
From above his stomach, the Snow Duck slowly fell from the child’s small hand.
Thud!
It shattered against his blackened fingertips.
[Skill ‘Blood Subjugation’ is activated.]
“…!”
In that instant, the ‘Lord’ opened his eyes.
The Lord’s phantom that appeared before him overwhelmed Malikian.
For a moment, Malikian gasped for breath, struggling in the most extreme fear imaginable.
His Lord wore a deep smile.
[The Lord confiscates the vassal’s authority.]
[The vassal’s defense is ignored.]
— Ugh…!
The black hood that had wrapped around him like armor began to melt away like snow.
— Aaaaaaahhh!
Malikian frantically tried to pull his hood back up. But it only slipped through his fingers.
— No, no!
From within the hood, Malikian’s gaunt and pitiful body was revealed. His outer skin, covered with curses clinging like black stains as if diseased, was utterly hideous.
