YM778.TV Chapter 24 - 24
Chapter 24:
\'It\'s a tremendous power.\'
\'Is this the right way?\'
Suho\'s current muscle strength is at 39.
Because ability points were distributed based on strength stats, Suho was most confident in strength among other stats.
However, the power of this one-armed monster was no less than that.
Thud!
The two fell back at the same time.
They then gushed towards each other with even greater speed.
Slash!
Swish! Swish!
Suho\'s twin swords swung hard.
The monster\'s bloated arms blocked the attacks, crushing the walls and floors.
"Ack!"
2 seconds away from death.
Thanks to Suho, the raid leader managed to get out of the crisis and immediately fell back.
\'What happened? How did he...\'
Suho\'s fighting power was momentarily stopped, but he did not forget his duty.
The most important skill as a raider was having a keen eye to grasp the level of the demonic beast.
In other words, it was the ability to sense a crisis.
"It\'s a D-Class monster! Everyone, attack!"
The raid leader quickly assessed the mana level of the monster and shouted to everyone.
"D-Class?"
The hunters came to their senses and prepared to attack all at once.
"There would be no problems!"
"Die!"
Slash!
They focused on the monster that was fighting Suho.
However, the enemy easily dodged all those attacks and jumped backwards.
"D-Class?"
He smirked, clinging to the tunnel wall like a spider.
"What happened to the quality of evaluation you do to someone in front of you?"
His other hand was tucked into the robe.
Swoop.
A small potion came out of his chest.
"That\'s...?!"
Assistant Lim was the first person to find out what the potion was.
A blue liquid that sparkles with brilliant starlight.
"Stardust! It\'s stardust! Don\'t let him eat that!"
The eyes of the hunters widened at Assistant Professor Lim\'s words.
"Stardust?"
"Could it be the infamous mana power booster?"
There was a rumor that had been spreading secretly among hunters since some time ago.
-I heard that there is a mana enhancer called stardust.
According to the rumors, it was a medicine that would keep your mana power up for about a week if you consume it.
They even said that there were no side effects.
The price was too expensive, but that didn\'t matter.
It was because they could earn more money by entering a higher dungeon and hunting by using the mana power amplified by stardust.
As a result, it was always unavailable. Even if they wanted one, they could not find it.
"Correct."
The monster grinned and bit the potion bottle with his mouth exposed under the mask.
"Stop!"
Gulp.
By the time the hunters rushed at him, it was already too late.
Damn it!
After swallowing the stardust, his body began to swell rapidly. As if balancing that one arm that was already bloated.
"Roar!"
He roared ferociously and bounced off the wall.
Following that, two huge arms swept the bodies of the hunters.
"Aaaah!"
Hunters bounced in all directions like bowling pins.
"No way."
The raid leader couldn\'t believe his eyes.
It was a mistake to judge that the monster was D-Class.
"C-Class... monster?!"
It was completely unexpected.
He could never have imagined that stardust could amplify mana to such an extent!
"Everyone, run away! He\'s something we can\'t handle by ourselves!"
[No. You have to do that.]
"...!"
Beru went to the raid leader\'s side smiling.
[Young Master is now activated.]
"...!"
There was no need to ask who Beru was referring to.
Suho was already attacking with the shadow soldiers.
"Use the Shadow Goblin skill!"
[Krrrk, Krrrk!]
Currently, the seven shadow soldiers led by Suho consisted of five goblin commanders and two shadow main commanders.
And as they were the captains who led the normal goblins, they each had their own skills.
[Krrrrk!]
[Shadow Goblin uses \'Skill: Ice Arrow\'.]
Swoosh!
A cold ice spear flew and froze the legs of the monster.
Great!
The same guy who was pressuring Suho with his tremendous strength and size temporarily stopped moving.
[Krrrk!]
Swoosh!
The evil redness fell on him.
[Shadow Goblin uses \'Skill: Curse of Blood\'.]
[The physical damage is increased by 15% for 1 minute.]
"...!"
The monster, who had been cursed with decreased mobility and increased damage received, was taken aback.
[Krrrk!]
The shadow goblins rushed at him trying to butcher him to pieces with daggers and saws.
"Haha! This kind of trick...!"
Slash!
He shook off his frozen legs and tore the shadow goblins to shreds.
But...
[Krrrk!]
The shadow goblins giggled even more ridiculously, their body that had been cut in half stuck back on the spot.
They clung to the body of the giant monster and began stabbing their daggers mercilessly.
"Ouch! W-What is this...?!"
His face was filled with embarrassment for the first time.
The weapons the seven goblins were holding were at most knives and saws trying to cut him to pieces.
Even if a curse that amplifies damage by 15% was added, it did not cause significant damage to him.
However, when the madness of the infinitely regenerating goblins was added, the synergy was not negligible.
[Kehehe! Kehehe!]
[Krrrk! Krrrk!]
Slash! Slash!
[Kehehehe!]
"These leeches!"
The monster, covered in instant black blood, continued to tear and beat those who clung to him angrily.
The more the goblins did, the more tenaciously they regenerate their bodies and bit him.
"W-What the hell is that..."
The hunters who watched the horrendous and brutal battle were stunned.
"How could he summon..."
The skill of a summon hunter they were familiar with was not like that.
They thought it was only like hitting an insect the size of a fingernail to kill it.
Or, summoning sleeping butterflies to put one or two monsters to sleep.
Of course, there were hunters who made useful summons from time to time. But, there were never ones dealing with demon-like monsters playing infinitely and fooling opponents.
Suho\'s mana was not infinite as well.
\'Mana is consumed when you regenerate a shadow soldier. The more time it takes, the more I have to lose.\'
Slash!
Suho\'s Rakan\'s Sword and Vulcan\'s Horn cut through the giant body again and again.
Slash!
It went on faster.
[Effect \'Mortal Wound\': Inflicts more than twice as much fatal damage with a 15% chance.]
The skill of Rakan\'s Sword shone.
"Ah! Bastard-!"
The monster was furious and glared at Suho, the culprit behind all this.
And then!
"...!"
Ignoring the small attacks of the goblins, he grabbed the weapon from Suho with his big hands.
"Ha. I finally got it. You little rat."
Blood burst from his grasp by squeezing the blade of the sword, but it was okay.
He struck Suho in the side with his other fist and with an evil smile on his lips.
Boom-!
There was a sound of drums exploding.
[\'Skill: Endurance\' reduces damage.]
Suho just glared at him with provocative eyes.
"Try more."
[Skill: Endurance Lv.2]
Passive skill.
No mana required.
You have indomitable tenacity.
Increases physical defense by 40%.
"This bastard!"
Slam!
He lifted Suho\'s body with his sword and smashed it to the floor.
"Ack!"
The shock caused Suho to vomit blood from his mouth and let go of the sword.
"Oh, no!"
"Suho!"
His ears buzzed.
It was as if the voice he heard was clouded.
"Tsk. Dare to speak to a weak summon hunter."
Suho somehow heard the mocking voice of the monster.
"Now, I will use this sword."
He seemed to be quite pleased with Suho\'s sword that drove him to a bloody mess.
Suho was pleased just the same.
-What the hell?
"Huh?"
That moment.
Suho, who was lying on the floor, smirked.
-Who dares covet the sword of the Monarch!
"...!"
Swoosh!
Red veins swelled up on the arm of the monster that was holding the Rakan\'s Sword.
"W-What is this...!"
He was frightened and tried to shake off Rakan\'s Sword, but it was of no use.
The sword clung to his hands as if they were glued, and began to eat away his body.
-You dare to intoxicate me? Give me your soul and body, then die!
"This crazy sword!"
The monster tried to counter it.
Then the cold energy suppressed deep in him pushed out the energy of Rakan\'s Sword.
-What are you doing? You were already consumed.
Rakan\'s Sword burst into laughter.
-You bastard, you must have already lost your body to the devil.
"Arrrggh!"
The monster roared and managed to shake off Rakan\'s Sword from his hands.
But then.
Ack-
Suho approached and pierced the monster\'s heart with the Vulcan\'s Horn.
He let out a heavy breath with his eyes wide open.
"Checkmate."
Suho cut him using the Vulcan\'s horn and tore his body in two.
Slash!
Black blood sprinkled like rain.
Thud.
The mask fell off his face as he tumbled across the floor.
A face so distorted that it could not be called a human was revealed.
"Khhhh...!"
He let out his last breath.
"You only managed to kill me... Don\'t be too happy."
"What?"
"Sooner or later, you guys will all be dead anyway."
He left such a curse-like will.
"... Just as how the Radiru Clan perished."
He lost the light in his eyes.
That moment.
Swoosh!
[Vulcan\'s Horn devours the demon\'s soul.]
Vulcan\'s Horn sucked evil energy from his body.
[Devoured Demon Soul: 1]
[Effect \'Destruction Desire\': Increases physical damage by [31%].
"Demon?"
Confusion appeared in Suho\'s eyes.
So this is the reason why the cursed random box gave a Vulcan\'s Horn.
[Your level increased!]
Swoosh!
Suho\'s whole body was enveloped in a soft blue light, and all the wounds he had suffered were completely healed.
Suho recalled the last words the monster said.
"... Radiru Clan? What did he mean?"
[About the Radiru Clan perished?]
Beru came to Suho\'s side and tilted his head.
"You know that?"
[I know. Radiru Clan was a demonic aristocrat. Even if they were noble families, they were one of the weakest in the 20th place in the demon hierarchy. But...]
Beru glared at the corpse of the demon.
[It is also a family that suddenly became the number one in the hierarchy because the 1st to 19th ranks were all destroyed by the Monarch a long time ago.]
