Chapter 36: The Harbinger of Divine Punishment (1)
The First Angel yer.
Ryu Min had earned the title by ying Briel, the angel that was assigned to his area.
It was a prestigious title that granted him a double increase in stats when facing opponents of the divine type.
The Harbinger of The Divine Punishment was none other than a being of the divine type.
This is the reason why Ryu Min went beyond mere evasion and aimed to capture them.
If it werent for this title, I wouldnt have dared to challenge it.
The Harbinger of The Divine Punishment was a monstrous creature that required a team of at least five level 40 yers to barely defeat it.
Being only at level 27, Ryu Min faced the daunting task to confront it alone.
But with a solid strategy and the right stats, theres nothing I cant ovee.
Ryu Min possessed the Rune of ughter that enhanced his stats twofold.
In addition, his Angel yer title provided an extra double boost.
Altogether, it was a four-fold increase in power.
In terms of sheer stat quantity, it wasparable to a level 99 character, at the maximum level.
Of course, thisparison is based on the assumption of a level 99 character equipped with standard gear.
Still, its better to improve my stats even a little.
Ryu Min opened thebination window, revealing arge slot and five smaller slots surrounding it.
Therge slot was for the main ingredient, while the smaller slots were for the sub-ingredients.
Ill enhance my stats bybining magic stones.
Ryu Min dragged the item from his inventory and ced it into the slot.
[Main Ingredient]
-Skull Bone Ne
[Sub Ingredients]
-Low-grade Purple Magic Stone
-(None)
-(None)
-(None)
-(None)
Filling all the sub-ingredient slots wasnt necessary.
Once he was ready, he pressed thebination button.
[Combination Sessful!]
[The Skull Bone Ne now has the option All Stats +1.]
The sub-ingredients vanished, leaving only the Skull Bone Ne.
Without hesitation, Ryu Min proceeded tobine magic stones with other equipment.
He had two magic stones in his inventory: one blue and one orange, obtained from hunting in this round.
Since I can attach one magic stone to each piece of equipment, then
[Combination Sessful!]
[The Leather Armor of the Seasoned Hunter gains the option Damage Received -1%.]
Using the low-grade blue magic stone, he obtained damage reduction.
[Combination Sessful!]
[The Scythe of the Reaper gains the option Strength +2.]
With the low-grade orange magic stone, his strength stat increased.
Although theyre low-grade magic stones, theyll help boost my strength a little.
Ryu Minbined them without any hesitation, striving to increase his power.
After all, thebined magic stones could be separated at will.
Theyre not consumables, so I can attach or detach them whenever I need.
Once all the preparations wereplete with the magic stonebinations
Boom-!
The sky tore open, and a pir of light descended to the ground.
Whoosh!
Emerging under the spotlight was none other than an ang celestial being.
Cloaked in a judge-like attire and a robe that concealed the face, their gender remained indistinguishable.
Flutter-!
Massive wings, measuring up to 6 meters in length, confirmed their angelic nature.
The number and the size of wings determines an angels power.
The more wings it has and therger it is the stronger the angel.
Ordinary angels have wings that are much smaller.
Compared to a regr angel with abined length of only 2 meters, the size of this angels wings was astounding.
However, yers, unaware of these facts, could only stare in awe.
Is that The Harbinger of The Divine Punishment?
Do we just have to avoid it to survive?
Doesnt it seem too easy?
Laughter echoed from various corners.
As majestic as their wings were, The Harbinger of The Divine Punishments appearance was simr to an ordinary human.
In response to such reactions, Ryu Min smirked.
Did they expect a giant beast to appear or something?
Until they experienced it firsthand, no one would grasp the true strength of The Harbinger of The Divine Punishment.
Swish-!
The Harbinger of The Divine Punishment shook its staff, and bells attached to its end emitted a sound.
Swish- swish!
The angel, leisurely leaning on the staff, suddenly stomped on the ground.
Thud-!
Simultaneously, a purple aura emanated from the staffs tip.
[The Harbinger of The Divine Punishment has cast a Restriction Field.]
[yers cannot leave the field until the caster releases the skill.]
[Stats of yers within the field are reduced by 50%.]
A translucent purple barrier manifested within a 100-meter radius.
Trapped inside, yers collectively grew bewildered.
What is this? Our stats are decreasing?
We cant escape?
Are we really trapped?
As they touched the purple barrier, they discovered its rigid and wall-like nature.
Enclosed within the colossal dome, the trapped yers fell into contemtion.
Their n to evade and roam around had crumbled from the start.
Observing the trapped yers from outside the barrier, Ryu Min assessed their numbers.
About 300 of them are caught, roughly.
Naturally, Ryu Min himself remained outside the barrier.
Aware of its 100-meter range, he positioned himself beyond its reach from the beginning.
Its unfortunate, but I wont be able to rescue all 300.
Once trapped within the Restriction Field, there was no escape.
It was akin to being a mouse trapped in poison.
Furthermore, with the stat reduction debuff, the odds are against us.
Ryu Min knew this well from his initial encounter with the entity.
Getting trapped within the field meant certain death.
Flutter-!
The Harbinger of The Divine Punishment unfurled its wings.
Simultaneously, countless arrows of light materialized around their wings.
Their number easily exceeded 200.
It has begun.
Ryu Min averted his gaze as if there was nothing to see.
The subsequent event was already anticipated.
Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-
The arrows flew like beams of light, piercing through the yers bodies.
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop!
Ah!
Ugh!
In an instant, 30 yers in the front line became hitting targets for the arrows, meeting their demise.
Ahhh!
Are we supposed to dodge those?
Its nearly impossible to track them with our eyes!
Startled, the yers retreated, but unfortunately, there was no escape route.
Dodging the arrows of light is next to impossible.
Ryu Min had a reason for avoiding being trapped within the barrier.
Thebination of the field and the arrows of light created a lethalbo.
As long as I stay out of it, I wont die.
In fact, he could even target the entitys blind spot.
The entity is solely focused on hunting humans, neglecting its surroundings.
Unnoticed by the entity, Ryu Min circled around the barrier, positioning himself behind it.
In the meantime, a party of death was taking ce in the circr dome.
Quaaaaagh!
Sa-save me!
Mom!
yers were helplessly killed by countless arrows of light.
Focused on finishing the job The Harbinger of The Divine Punishment moved to the center of the barrier as the yers kept moving around like rats inside the trap.
Not even noticing that Ryu Min was watching from behind.
As expected, hes focused on hunting the others and doesnt even pay attention to the back. I can see his back I can do it.
Though he couldnt approach due to the barrier
As soon as the barrier is lifted, Illunch a surprise attack.
That was the only way to ambush the entity while evading its line of sight.
