chapter 162: bankruptcy 162
“Ah…..”
all of them have become entirely speechless. There could not had been a more fitting description than that.
Choi Jung-Hoon forgot what he desired to say. but, he was certain of some thing. The beginning of that ominous energy he sensed earlier than coming into this Gate become that dwelling sculpture.
The magic energy leaking out of that element turned into so =”hide”>great=”tipsBox”> that the space surrounding the d*mn creature appeared to twist around in his view.
He changed into simply gazing it from a long way away, yet goosebumps have been breaking out on his complete frame.
look.
His gaze was redirected in the direction of Jin-Woo.
It made some feel to peer someone as strong as Hunter Seong lying subconscious if he had been in a conflict towards a ‘issue’ like that.
No, hold on.
preventing against any such ‘thing’ even as additionally locating sufficient leeway to ruin most of these other enemies – the stone statues – changed into most effective possible precisely because it was Hunter Seong Jin-Woo and not someone else.
He felt nothing however admiration in his heart. however….
‘It’s our turn to fight towards such an opponent now.’
A thick drop of sweat slid down the facet of his face and stopped on his chin.
The strength of this one monster effortlessly handed that of the mutated ant that seemed on Jeju Island. No, it become unknown whether or not this enemy was absolutely a monster or not, initially.
Gulp.
His dry saliva painfully slid down his throat.
Choi Jong-In glanced to his aspect and discovered that the complexions of Cha Hae-In and Woo Jin-Cheol were fully faded from fright as properly. those had additionally found out the depths of the enemy’s strength and were in the middle of inwardly freaking out.
on the other hand, the Hunters behind them have been getting amazed with the aid of some thing else entirely.
“That component… did that element just talk??”
“Wait, I didn’t hear incorrectly just now, did I?”
“A monster can communicate our language?”
Hunters exchanged glances with one another, their faces full of incredulity. something like this seemed impossible.
It turned into already public understanding that the monsters with intelligence spoke the language in their own.
again while these Gates started performing for the primary time, a few attempted to study the language of the monsters. Of direction, their attempts all led to failure.
the sole purpose for that was the violent inclinations of the monsters. Monsters captured alive through =”hide”>great=”tipsBox”> problems couldn’t appear to endure being round people the longer they remained in touch.
although their entire bodies have been limited, they attempted to rampage around seeking to attack human beings – even if under the extreme pain in their flesh being ripped apart and their bones snapping in half. in the end, both they were killed off by using their human captors, or died obviously after being unable to win towards the tides of their rage.
– it’s far not possible for monsters and people to coexist. it is also not possible to speak with them.
This turned into the unanimous conclusion reached with the aid of the scientists discovering monsters from everywhere in the globe, one they were completely positive of.
however, the monster in front of their eyes changed into talking in Korean as if it turned into the maximum herbal thing within the international.
A monster that could be visible as the find of the century had made its front, however for a few reason, these Hunters all felt this inexplicable experience of dread of their hearts.
That became the caution bell rung by the primal instinct only detectable via the 7339ff1fc90882f8f31ca1efdd2ac191 Hunters which includes those humans.
flinch.
The angel statue took one breakthrough, inflicting the trembling Hunters to hurriedly back away. The creature slowly shifted its gaze left to right as if to comprehend the sight of these people and their expressions of worry and terror.
“Oh, robust humans.”
The statue spoke up because it commenced searching on the Hunters with the eyes of a person locating a scrumptious snack.
“evidently there are not any shortages for the primary sacrifices organized for the king.”
If a snake may want to smile, would that be as disgusting as the one on this creature? The movements of the Hunters iced up stiff from the smile forming on the angel statue’s face.
‘….The king?’
should there had been but any other monster here?
Choi Jong-In’s head slanted to the aspect in brief, but too terrible for him, now wasn’t the time to dissect what the monster became saying.
The angel statue ripped up the arm of one of the stone statues strewn approximately on the floor.
Crack!!
‘what’s it looking to do?’
Hunters and their confusion didn’t closing for lengthy. It placed the torn arm in its proper shoulder socket that became already missing a limb, and the two components unexpectedly started out fusing via themselves.
‘Heok…!’
as the Hunters gasped out in astonishment, the angel statue moved the newly-regenerated arm around this way and that. It turned into then.
Shooph.
The statue regarded earlier than the Hunters. They didn’t actually have any time to reply. The angel statue took a swing with its right arm. The face of the Hunter standing in front of the group become crushed inward.
Peo-geok!!
The Hunter and his crushed face flew backwards and slammed into the wall. other Hunters close by threw out pressing counterattacks, however by then, the angel statue was already long gone.
“where…?!”
“Over there!!”
The creature became now status at the same spot as before as if it by no means made a flow inside the first place. As a be counted of reality, it was busy twiddling with its newly-attached right hand and its arms. It appeared find it irresistible become testing out whether its new limb was functioning nicely or now not.
“M-Myung-Cheol-ah!!”
“Euh, uwaaaahh!!”
Hunters belatedly discovered the casualty among them and began crying out in discomfort. He turned into killed instantly. A rank A Tanker operating for South Korea’s quality Guild had died in a single hit.
Choi Jong-In’s eyes as he stared at the angel statue began shaking unsteadily now.
‘Hunter Seong Jin-Woo fought against this kind of component all by means of himself…?’
in place of the pain of losing one in all his comrades, his mind turned into conquer with this hopeless experience of vagueness at no longer knowing how to interrupt out of the current scenario.
unfortunately, now not absolutely everyone became capable of rational thought manner like Choi Jong-In.
“You son of a b*tch!!”
one of the woman Hunters, the sweetheart of the deceased Hunter, screamed out and dashed ahead in anger. a couple of flames were burning brightly in both of her palms as she did so.
just as she changed into about to launch the ones flames, someone grabbed her wrists from at the back of. The lady Hunter regarded to her aspect and located that Cha Hae-In had approached her before she noticed it. The woman Hunter shook her arm and yelled out.
“allow me go!”
“Unni, you must keep it returned.”
“I stated, let cross of me, right now!!”
“Please, you gotta keep it lower back!”
The woman Hunter glared instantly at Cha Hae-In’s face. The latter carried a grave however determined expression as she bit her lower lip.
“I’m also maintaining returned, you understand….”
Cha Hae-In’s hardened expression brought about the woman Hunter to prevent writhing around in anger. due to the fact… even she knew it turned into unwise to agitate a monster that now not confirmed any hobby in their organization after making that preliminary attack.
It become simply that, she determined it almost not possible to maintain herself returned. someone she cherished turned into met with a bad loss of life, but she was not able to do something. The woman Hunter began sobbing under her breath.
“Heuk….”
as soon as she stopped showing suggestions of making a rash choice, Cha Hae-In shifted her interest over to Jin-Woo mendacity on the floor a long way away. The woman Hunter wasn’t the most effective one holding herself back, indeed.
For some reason, the monster had stopped attacking the institution. And Jin-Woo regarded unharmed as he persevered to respire typically. His expression became peaceful, as if he become surely asleep proper now.
‘For now…’
….She and others had to shop for as an awful lot time as viable until Jin-Woo wakened. That become the quality they might do.
It was then.
The angel statue moved its frame this way and that before laughter unexpectedly broke out from its lips.
“Haha.”
The empty interior of the underground temple was abruptly filled up with the echoes of the angel statue’s voice. It kept its laughter quick and shifted its gaze over to the Hunters.
“well now, should i am getting the fun started out?”
The colour of the angel statue’s eyes abruptly reddened up.
changed into that the start of the attack? The Hunters strengthened their grips on their selected guns and prepared for warfare.
If it changed into most effective one… if it was only one enemy, couldn’t they be capable of do something here? not most effective did they’ve two rank S Hunters gift, however there had been also dozens of pinnacle local Hunters gathered right here in the interim, too.
As such an constructive outlook quick raced beyond the minds of the Hunters, this occurred.
Dududududududuk.
all at once, an earthquake broke out interior this =”hide”>huge=”tipsBox”>, open chamber.
“Ah…. No, =”hide”>this can=”tipsBox”>’t be….”
The darkish shadow of despair drew upon the faces of the Hunters. The damaged stone statues have been starting to get up one at a time, that was why.
The b*stards with out heads, b*stards with holes in their chests, or even b*stards with limbs lacking all started out standing up. however the absolute worst amongst all of them turned into the statue of the unknown god that might simplest be described as absolutely large.
“….Oh, my god.”
The god statue and the stone statues were standing upright and evident on the Hunters as if they had by no means been destroyed inside the first region. Their expressionless faces simplest made the already creepy surroundings that rather more bizarre.
Hunters started to backpedal a step at a time, best to run into some thing stable at the back of their backs.
“Uh….?”
It become the door.
Even before they had realised it, the entrance to this once-empty area changed into closed shut tightly. It regarded that the angel statue had no thoughts of letting those humans pass in any respect.
The angel statue spoke to them.
“folks that manipulate to live on until all of my dolls have fallen will be given the possibility to witness the glorious rebirth of the king.”
The monster kept saying ‘king’ this and ‘king’ that for some time now.
‘simply what’s it trying to say here?’
Woo Jin-Cheol’s brows creased up.
He just couldn’t understand the words the creature became busy spewing out. but, one component became for sure. He knew that this creature turned into trying to kill absolutely everyone in the chamber.
He gritted his enamel.
He spent the last four years of his life inside the association.
He had faced masses of hair-elevating conditions, however nevertheless controlled to tug through by way of bitterly suffering till the cease. today might no longer be any specific. He wasn’t planning to die as effortlessly as the monster desired him to.
‘Even i’m able to’t make it out of here….’
as a minimum, he’d try and store Hunter Seong.
His thoughts reached there and he glanced at Jin-Woo. as an alternative coincidentally, the angel statue additionally pointed on the kids lying unmoving at the ground.
“This person was capable of ruin all my puppets in much less than five mins.”
The pointed finger of the angel statue was then locked onto the relaxation of the Hunters.
“what number of minutes will it take for all of you to die today, then?”
just because the phrases of the angel statue came to an quit, Woo Jin-Cheol cried out on the pinnacle of his lungs.
“absolutely everyone, get down!!”
Hunters hurriedly bent right down to the ground.
A pink laser beam sliced proper beyond just above their heads with almost no gap to spare. The casualty was 0 this time. It changed into almost a miracle in and of itself.
The purple electricity beam capturing out from the eyes of the god statue slowly dissipated.
‘Ho-oh.’
The angel statue stared at the Hunters with eyes of some hobby as it took a step returned. It seemed that these people might be able to provide some fun distraction earlier than the king awakens.
“Pant, pant, pant.”
Woo Jin-Cheol panted out heavily. bloodless sweat poured out from his pores.
If he hadn’t heard about the special trait of the god statue beforehand, could he be able to survive that blast? His complete body shuddered from sheer horror. nonetheless, they controlled to someway stay thru the primary attack.
Of direction, that wasn’t the end.
‘No, it’s merely the beginning.’
Woo Jin-Cheol raised his head.
The stone statues were speeding closer to them now. They have been so quick that best the high-ranked melee-kind Hunters could be able to following their movements.
luckily, Woo Jin-Cheol changed into one of the very fine inside the rank A Hunters. He rose up from his spot in an instant and at the same time as rotating his waist, sent out a effective punch. The particularly-constructed glove slammed hard into the face of a stone statue.
boom!!
Woo Jin-Cheol’s eyes almost popped out in their sockets.
‘….??’
He sincerely believed that one punch could be sufficient. but, the stone statue became unscathed.
due to the fact he saw that certainly one of this statue’s shoulders became completely destroyed from an unknown attack, he ended up making a mistake on his enemy’s durability. It was a gaffe he shouldn’t have made when wondering again to just who it become that destroyed these kinds of statues inside the first region.
The stone statue’s face became driven again handiest with the aid of a bit bit, but it recovered from the impact pressure almost proper away and thrust ahead the sword in its hand.
‘Tsk.’
Woo Jin-Cheol inwardly clicked his tongue.
He threw that punch out without deliberating the possible counterattack so he was unable to circumvent. except, the enemy wasn’t sluggish enough for him to keep away from at this type of close distance, anyway.
but, then.
Ka-growth!!
A effective explosion wrapped the statue up and it flew away.
Woo Jin-Cheol frowned and shook his head tough to recover from the humming sensation in his ears. best then did he get to hear the voice coming from his aspect.
“Are you alright??”
It become none other than the ‘closing weapon’, Choi Jong-In. Woo Jin-Cheol nodded once to express his gratitude. They virtually didn’t have enough time to leisurely proportion a communication.
growth!!
due to the fact, the god statue commenced moving in earnest, and…
Dudududu-!!
…And, the stone statues had already arrived proper earlier than their noses with the aid of then.
“Chairman Choi!! Aggro abilties don’t work against these items!!”
Tankers loudly cried out.
“What turned into that??”
Choi Jong-In’s expression hardened extensively. If the aggro talents didn’t work on them, then these creatures would instinctively start targetting the bodily weakest Hunters gift.
If the Healers were killed off first, then their line of defence might crumble very quickly in any respect. It was nigh not possible for them to combat towards powerful enemies with out some form of a protecting line to again them up.
now not best that….
proper at the back of those d*mn stone statues, the =”hide”>massive=”tipsBox”> god statue become now raising its equally =”hide”>massive=”tipsBox”> fist as nicely.
‘can we simply get out of this location alive?’
Their situation changed into despairingly essential.
but, he nonetheless may want to think about one very last method. And that might be waking up the unconscious Hunter Seong.
The angel sculpture b*stard stated it, didn’t it?
‘That element said that Hunter Seong changed into capable of damage them all with the aid of himself. In much less than 5 minutes, too.’
Their situation may want to trade significantly if his wager became correct and the best motive why Hunter Seong lost to the angel statue turned into that he have become too fatigued from destroying these kind of stone statues.
indeed, weren’t there dozens of 7339ff1fc90882f8f31ca1efdd2ac191 Hunters present right here that could useful resource Hunter Seong right now?
this is why….
‘I need to wake up Hunter Seong Jin-Woo.’
Flames alighted on Choi Jong-In’s arms. It became not for nothing that he was known as the ‘final weapon’. no longer only his firepower, but even his accuracy didn’t lose out to any of the contemporary firearms.
It turned into now ‘sink or swim’ time.
Choi Jong-In fired the magic he cast in Jin-Woo’s route.
Hunter Seong would possibly revel in a few discomfort, however he wasn’t weak sufficient to get injured greatly through this level of magic. but, if he did awaken from the effect of the explosion, then the human Hunters might stand a good hazard of surviving this event.
‘that is why, please…!’
The flames flew towards their goal while leaving behind a long path. however….
boom!
The flames in reality exploded on the torso of the angel statue that stepped into the trajectory within the blink of an eye.
‘….??’
Choi Jong-In changed into substantially taken by way of wonder from the surprising interference from the angel statue and hurriedly raised his head.
every muscle on the face of the angel changed into distorted unpleasant till they couldn’t be twisted any in addition to form a honestly terrifying expression.
“How dare…..”
For the first time ever, the angel statue stopped smiling and bared its fangs.
“How dare you attempt to break the shut eye of the king!?”
