Episode 55
The ghost horse tread through the air. Jung Si-woo ran over the wall, rushing towards him. He was using the cruel charge, but the Duhan was faster. Needless to say, it was because of its ghost horse.
“I want a ghost horse too!”
[A human can’t have one. Give up.]
Dreary ck Mana bloomed from Duhan’s ax. The Mana from the ax was disyed outside the weapon. It was a technique that Jung Si-woo couldn’t imitate, but he wasn’t deceived. After all, weapons could be enhanced, more or less.
“Ahhhhh!”
As soon as Jung Si-woo’s hammer and Duhan’s ax collided, Jung Si-woo suddenly mmed its torso with another hammer that he pulled out of his inventory with his free hand.
[What!?]
Duhan, who didn’t think there would be a human running around with sledgehammers in each hand, was struck by an authentic attack and tossed off the ghost horse.
[Hmph, human…!?]
“Alright, let’s set the terms fairly!”
Jung Si-woo’s movements were like lightning. The ghost horse who lost his master instinctively pushed Jung Si-woo and read his movements as he was about to run towards Duhan, striking at his head with its front hooves!
[Kiheeheeeeeee!]
The ghost horse was struck by one blow and disappeared. Now, there was only one stone left covered in ck metal.
[My horse!]
“We have to fight fair, don’t we?”
[Yoooooouuu!]
Jung Si-woo smiled as he shoved the horse directly into his inventory. Duhan whipped his ax with a shout of fury, and the ck Mana that was sted from the end was instantly overwhelmed by Jung Si-woo! Jung Si-woo looked at it, appalled.
“That kind of game technique existed!?”
It was a shockwave that held the attributes and customs of a weapon even though it had been separated in the form of Rather, it was a top-notch skill.
“I’ve never seen a skill like this! …this is amazing! ”
“Don’t just admire it. Get out of the way! ”
However, shortly after Jung Si-woo panicked and threw himself away from it, something appeared before his eyes. Jung Si-woo realized it was Duhan’s head only after getting hit in the chest.
“Cough!”
[Take the wrath of Duhan!]
Jung Si-woo tried to crush it in the midst of shock, but the monster’s head returned to his grip shortly after hitting Jung Si-woo. It seemed to be attached to an ability to return automatically.
[Die!]
“Cure!”
Duhan rushed forward with his strength to end Jung Si-woo! He felt a broken rib and was instinctively nervous, but nothing happened as Duhan’s ax grew still. It was because Soo Ah-rin realized that Duhan was a formidable enemy and was preparing a healing spell to heal Jung Si-woo’s wounds immediately.
“Ah!”
[chuckles]
Jung Si-woo returned to normal and sessfully flew away from Duhan, rushing towards him. The ax only shattered the wall. That’s right, the very same wall that he crashed before.
“Hyeong-nim! it’s crushing the wall…!”
“Oh, shit. ”
The wall began to crumble after the ax strike, followed by the ck crescent! The undead that clung to the wall went down with it, but Duhan no longer cared about them. The wrath of the monster that lost its horse was truly great.
[Haha, you dance beautifully!]
“Hmph!”
As the wall begins to copse, their foothold became unstable, and the ax hit him again, hurling forward. However, as the ax crossed with Jung Si-woo’s hammer, he belted out a loud scream and pushed past it. His hammer was aiming for the head that was in Duhan’s arm!
[Wha…huff!?]
Jung Si-woo’s strength, which originated from the body in harmony with Mana, had reached a point that surpassed Duhan’s expectations. You couldn’t underestimate the level of Mana just because one’s level was low. The moment the scream hit, his arm twisted strangely with his armor. At the same time, the head in his hand fell!
[You’re strong!]
“You have a strong head, too! ”
He was going to smash its head, but it was rolling over the wall. Just when Jung Si-woo was about to smash it as quickly as possible, the whole wall copsed, and the two bodies floated into the air. Those without wings dared to covet the sky, so all that remained was a crash!
[I enjoyed the fun, but this is it.]
Duhan thought it was his chance to end Jung Si-woo. Duhan could take advantage of Mana freely in the air, but Jung Si-woo couldn’t help but fall straight down!
[I’ll admit that you’re ignorant but strong. This world is a world dominated by Mana. If you can’t handle Mana…that’s it!]
He swung his ax as hard as he could toward Jung Si-woo, who fell from above him. The ck crescent rose into the air following the ax’s trajectory, targeting Jung Si-woo! But just as Duhan was certain of victory, suddenly, a man with wings appeared in the air, dragging Jung Si-woo. They vanished into thin air.
[What!?]
“Hyeong-nim now is the time!”
Jung Si-woo gripped his hammer, clutching it onto Yong Se-ha, who returned to human size. He awakened this power just a few hours ago. Now was the time to use the options contained in the hammer.
“Grow!”
“Do you really have to shout out like that!?”
A huge sun rose, something truly massive and bright appearing before his eyes. Duhan realizedter that it was Jung Si-woo’s hammer. It was just that it was getting too big, and there was a bright me burning at the end.
“Ahhhhh, it’s too heavy, Hyeong-nim!”
“Let go! Throw me at Duhan! ”
“Ahhh…hah! ”
Yong Se-ha threw Jung Si-woo toward Duhan with all his might. He thrashed toward Duhan like a rocket and grabbed the hammer with both hands. The weight of the giant paw exceeded Jung Si-woo’s imagination, but he was able to hold it and swing it. That was enough.
“Die!”
[You think I’ll die because of that?!]
He swung the hammer as hard as he could. The burning red sun drew a devastating trajectory into the air and struck Duhan’s entire body! No matter how big the shock was, Jung Si-woo’s body would be thrown into the air due to the reaction.
[Kuhak!]
Duhan remained still on the ground, but it didn’t die as it said. Its whole body armor was crushed, and its Mana was leaking out, but it still had the strength to move.
[I’ll kill you.]
With Setnak’s power, it restored itself and cried out. Though its head was gone and its armor was crumbling, it still had an ax with dark Mana in it. If it just stood up and swung it, he could beat it to death!
[I will engrave Setnak’s blessing upon you with a pain worse than death!]
“Phew.”
On the other hand, he quickly put the hammer into his inventory and pulled out another weapon as he cleared the air due to the recoil. It was a rifle.
“But this is definitely going to kill you, isn’t it? ”
[That…can’t be…!]
Duhan looked at the mana gathering in the rifle, its eyes wide open, but it was still unable to move properly. It was also impossible to strike with an ax. Just a little more, maybe five more seconds. But Jung Si-woo didn’t wait for him anymore.
“Hasta Vista!”
[Kaghhhhhhhh!]
The critical Bullet sucked up all of Jung Si-woo’s remaining Mana and fired quickly at the reinforced tip, striking Duhan’s torso. It tried to concentrate on the Mana in its body and fight back against his energy, but it was too much for it to handle. The unknown power that it didn’t yet understand would burn all of it into white.
[Oh my God, how could a human being from Earth…!]
Right after he blew up everything, the Duhan left while saying a few lines of dialogue that made him curious, just like the rest of the feeble traitors.
[You increased 7 Levels!]
[Critical Bullet Skill is now Lv7!]
[Heavy Strike Skill is Lv27!]
“Phew.”
It was a momentary battle, but it was the most intense of his life. If he had been struck at all by the ck crescent, it would’ve been Jung Si-woo, not Duhan, who was dying! He limped, making sure Duhan’s torso was gone. And he fell down.
“Oops, I didn’t have wings!”
“I’m on my way, Hyeong-nim!”
Yong Se-ha, who was still maintaining his human size, flew desperately to catch Jung Si-woo andnded on the ground. It was a close one.
“Phew, I’m alive.”
“Hyeong-nim, there’s a stone it left behind.”
Once theynded exactly where Duhan was, they secured the stone left behind first. His torso waspletely destroyed, so there was nothing else to collect.
“I think I can still get five Magic Power from this. This world is a great ce. ”
“Collecting the loot is a natural right…but now is not the time to take that stone.”
[Gruuuhhh!]
[Gruuaaaaauh!]
Jung Si-woo raised his head. There was an undead army trampling the ruins to the ground and storming the city. It was like a zombie movie scene!
[Setnaaaaaak!]
[Humans, to humans…Setnak’s blessing…!]
“They have the same form even if they lose their boss.”
“Let’s wrap up and think about it.”
However, no matter how many tens of thousands of undead showed up, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with them once theirmander was gone. How much more if you were against these guys now whose numbers have been absurdly reduced already? He ran out to see the undead, holding his hammer back to its previous size.
“Come to think of it; we need to reim the giant’s screams! Oh, and the hearthstone I caught from the doom knight earlier!”
“Oh, there’s the Elite Ghoul!”
“Huh!”
Jung Si-woo rushed around frantically, wielding his hammer to crush the undead. Some of them still hadn’t given up on the dream of a merged evolution, but many of them lost their minds because of the loss of their boss, and many were swept away by Jung Si-woo’s hammer.
“The ghouls are merging again over there!”
“It bothers me to kill all those things. Just let them merge!”
“Ah, the hearthstone of doom knight! Zombies are trying to eat…!”
“What!? ”
The doom knight’s hearthstone was the only thing he didn’t want them to get their hands on! It was iplete, so it was just a waste of strength. It would be a waste of more time if they ate it up and awakened again!
“Well, there’s something else.”
But Jung Si-woo secured doom knight’s hearthstone and was just about to recover the loot he saw nearby when he tilted his head. It was quite sizeable, and there was a lot of Mana, so it must be an artifact…
“What is this?”
A very familiar ck helmet. The heavy feeling inside. It’s damn hard, but it was like a lot of Mana was gathering…!
“It’s Duhan’s head!”
“Mana and records leveled up but was this monster’s torso and head meant to be separated!”
“No, wait a minute. My retina…”
[Caina’s Malice]
Contrary to Soo Ah-rin’s concern, Duhan’s head wasn’t a living or dead monster.
It was an artifact.
