For a second then, inside the recalled information, Jin-Woo had become THE Shadow Sovereign. And that’s whilst he realised it.
He realised that there has been some other heart of magical electricity beating within his chest. He felt powerful surges of power ceaselessly flowing out from this new heart.
could he have made a mistake? It changed into as an alternative smooth to confirm the truth, definitely.
‘fame Window.’
at the same time as keeping his hand firmly locked across the angel statue’s neck, he summoned his repute Window. What he wanted to peer out of the numerous listed values in there was his cutting-edge reserves of magic electricity, which the device had unique as ‘Mana points’ or ‘MP’.
[MP: 109,433]
Jin-Woo’s eyes almost popped out in their sockets.
‘Over 100 grand?!’
He confirmed the reality along with his personal two eyes, but he still couldn’t trust it. The closing time he checked, he actually only had around nine thousand or so. He confirmed it before arriving here, so he couldn’t have made an error on that one.
but now, it become over ten instances greater?
however, that wasn’t the handiest unexpected component he determined.
‘My identify has modified?’
as if to let him recognise of a large change that had taken vicinity, the ‘identify’ column turned into blinking constantly. He didn’t even exchange his title, but it had been swapped out to some thing else.
And the new name turned into ‘Demon Hunter’.
He had been placing this identify inside the historical past due to the fact its statistics turned into hidden from him till now. Jin-Woo speedy showed its newly unveiled information.
[Title: Demon Hunter]
‘you have got satisfied its requirements.’
you’ve got recovered the memories of defeating the King of Demons, Baran, Sovereign of the White Flames. a huge electricity has stated the participant as its new proprietor.
effect ‘Black coronary heart’: extra MP +100,000
‘Black heart!!’
This here was the cause why his MP reserves had shot as much as a nonsensical diploma.
additional MP of one hundred thousand – that turned into sufficient energy to regenerate his Shadow soldiers almost infinitely.
, Jin-Woo recalled the sight of the Shadow Sovereign from the recalled information. The beings that fought in opposition to the silver soldiers blotting out the whole sky had been part of the immortal military led via that individual.
They went through an limitless cycle of destruction and revival while managing to regularly overwhelm their enemies.
The silver soldiers, robust sufficient to without problems suppress roughly the same quantity of monsters, couldn’t bear against the regenerative abilities of the Shadow soldiers and, ultimately, had been compelled into retreat.
If it weren’t for the well timed arrival of the reinforcements, the ones silver infantrymen could no longer have prevented the destiny of being annihilated. And that became all due to the bottomless quantity of magic electricity the Shadow Sovereign from the facts had possessed.
‘If that’s the case….’
‘….as long as i’ve the impact of this ‘Black coronary heart’, then my personal Shadow soldiers can become the immortal military, too…’
whilst his mind reached that a ways, Jin-Woo’s complete frame shuddered from the shock.
“however how….. can you be….??”
Jin-Woo raised his head. A trembling voice turned into leaking out of the angel statue’s mouth.
For the primary time ever, Jin-Woo noticed another expression except that disgusting smile or the one of anger from this statue’s face. The emotion revealed by using its new expression turned into simply fear.
The angel statue checked out Jin-Woo with actual worry and spoke as if it couldn’t trust what had occurred.
“How can you still preserve your former ego, even with the Black heart beating inside you?!”
‘What turned into that??’
Jin-Woo heard the creature’s mutterings and quick realised two critical things.
One, the angel statue was certainly not chargeable for this ‘Black coronary heart’ acting inside his frame. two, the result of it waking up inside him shouldn’t have ended properly for him.
Crack!
Jin-Woo bolstered his grip at the angel statue’s neck, and deep cracks shaped on its neck.
“Keu-heuk!!”
The face of the angel statue distorted in ache.
“what’s this ‘player’ issue? What were you trying to do to me?”
Jin-Woo didn’t decrease his vigilance, so he may want to shatter this component’s neck at any given second. however, it appeared that the angel statue wasn’t of the right mind to provide an answer.
“may want to or not it’s….?! Y-you, you d*mn Shadow Sovereign, you dare to… towards us….!! you watched different Sovereigns will take this lying down?!”
The angel statue glared at Jin-Woo and kept muttering out some nonsense.
Crack!!
Jin-Woo’s hands dug pretty deep into the angel statue’s neck. If he surely pulled his fingers again, the creature’s neck could shatter into pieces. The big ache become transmitted in full to its real frame somewhere.
“Keuaaahk!!”
The angel statue screamed to the excessive heavens.
“solution my questions.”
That become why he went ahead and gained the proper to ask for the result of the check. So, it turned into best proper that he demanded the promised rewards be handed over.
At that time, pink lights flashed from the angel statue’s eyes.
“Heok?!”
“What’s this??”
Jin-Woo heard the Hunters’ taken aback cries and looked at the back of him.
“T-the ones things!!”
“They’re coming lower back!!”
purple lighting have been burning inside the eyes of the god statue and the stone statues that had been moved to one corner of the chamber. and then, they commenced moving once more.
“Haha.”
The angel statue guffawed out loudly.
“in case you kill me, no person can be capable of stop my dolls.”
‘So, can you in reality kill me now?’ The angel statue glared at Jin-Woo with eyes that screamed that query at him.
Inferior beings possessed a ways too many vulnerable points. given that this guy became additionally human, this will be considered one of his weaknesses, too. certainly, he’d have the so-referred to as buddies amongst those human beings. but, quite unique from the angel statue’s expectation, Jin-Woo suddenly shaped a grin.
‘He’s… smiling?’
Jin-Woo requested the dazed statue.
“So, what is going to show up if I kill you first, and then break those dolls afterwards?”
The angel statue hurriedly replied in a panic.
“in case you kill me, the architect of the gadget….!”
“you know, I additionally notion approximately that.”
Jin-Woo reduce the phrases of the angel statue off. The look in his eyes turned into as a substitute similar to what the statue had while it was looking at the human Hunters in advance on.
“here’s the component. just due to the fact the fellow who created the device disappears, that doesn’t mean the system will start breaking down, does it?”
The bluff turned into called.
This human already knew the fact that the angel statue deliberately failed to mention.
This was a extreme miscalculation at the angel statue’s part. It had forgotten with what criteria this precise person were selected within the first area. This man, even inside the beyond, changed into capable of seeing via the set regulations.
‘If that’s the case, you’ve forced my hand!’
The angel statue activated the final hand it possessed.
Tti-ring!
[System has denied the System Administrator’s access.]
[System has denied the System Administrator’s access.]
[System has denied the System Administrator’s access.]
Tti-ring! Tti-ring!!
numerous more mechanical beeps rang in his head. the exact equal Message repeated itself again and again, however.
[System has denied the System Administrator’s access.]
The face of the angel statue hardened notably.
It tried to use the system and do some thing to Jin-Woo, but regrettably, even the device itself had turned its back on the creature.
Jin-Woo shrugged his shoulders, causing the angel statue to go berserk in rage.
“Uwaaaahk!! You b*stard!”
If this thing wasn’t going to answer, then….
‘….Then, no point in retaining you alive.’
Jin-Woo permit go of the angel statue’s neck, but at the identical time, injected magical energy to his left fist and punched out.
KABOOM!!
The gigantic impact force broke past the angel statue and left behind a large crater at the wall in the back of it.
Guooooh….
For a second there, silence filled the environment.
a watch for a watch, a enamel for a tooth.
Jin-Woo bestowed the precise stage of punishment to the angel statue that attempted to apply him.
no longer simply its head, but the entirety of its top torso have been obliterated. What remained of the creature slid down against the wall and sunk to the floor.
‘It’s a bit regretful that I didn’t get to hear any solutions, but…’
but, this component turned into looking to misinform him from the get-cross, anyway. should he be capable of consider some thing such a creature informed him?
‘With this, it’s executed.’
as if he changed into shaking off the regret, Jin-Woo gently shook the dirt off his left hand. It become at this moment that he heard the determined voice calling out to him.
“Seong Hunter-nim!!”
“…Ah.”
Jin-Woo speedy became around. He became far too focused on the angel statue and had forgotten about the alternative stone statues. these items have been indiscriminately attacking the Hunters as ordered by means of the angel statue simply earlier than its loss of life.
“Hunter Seong!!”
Choi Jong-In pitifully sought out Jin-Woo as he used his magic to preserve the stone statues at bay.
Even then, whilst he known as out, these statues have been nevertheless descending on them in their droves like a black hurricane.
Pow!
Woo Jin-Cheol become struck in the chin by using a stone statue and he unsteadily staggered on his toes. He tried to preserve his stability with his faltering legs, his eyes looking to his left and proper.
He caught the sight of the blood and sweat belonging to his fellow Hunters spraying into the air as they desperately established a resistance in opposition to the monsters pouncing on them.
The interior of his head blanked out.
‘Wait. What become I doing just now?’
Ah.
while he regained his senses, the stone statue was already right in the front of his nose.
He showed simply what had struck him on the chin simply now. It became actually a d*mn e book with a thickness of several encyclopedias stacked collectively. Of route, it turned into constituted of stone so it become only apparent that his head might spin like that.
‘No, cling on a minute… can a thick e-book be taken into consideration as a deadly weapon?’
For a brief moment there, Woo Jin-Cheol recalled watching a positive televised criminal regulation amendment procedure and smirked to himself. in any case, he no longer possessed any energy to block the e-book, nor may want to he avoid it now. He honestly didn’t have any electricity left to throw a counter, both.
And that’s why he ultimately gave up with a wry smirk, however then….
Ka-growth!!
The stone statue’s head split into and the monster was flung away as if it were given swept up in an explosion.
“Huh….?”
His thoughts woke up from that. He blinked his eyes and shook his head to clean his mind, and sooner or later spotted a familiar man standing subsequent to him.
“Are you alright?”
“Ah…..”
Woo Jin-Cheol should only gasp out at that moment. That familiar man changed into none aside from Seong Jin-Woo.
Woo Jin-Cheol stored that appearance of wonder on his face as he managed to leak out a question.
“via any chance, you most effective used naked hands to…..??”
“allow’s talk approximately the details later.”
Jin-Woo left at the back of the dazed chief of the tracking division and dashed away to somewhere else. Even then, he never stopped searching and subsequently, he spotted a sure some thing reflecting the light simply over yonder.
It turned into his lacking ‘Demon King’s Shortsword’.
‘determined it!!’
Jin-Woo prolonged his hand out to the weapon. He activated the ‘invisible hand’ and sucked his shortsword back into his grip.
snatch!
The feel of grip transmitted through his hand remained pinnacle-notch.
boom!!
to begin with, he kicked away an annoying stone statue blocking off his route and started slicing all the statues that were tangling with human Hunters.
Fuu-woop.
within the midst of doing that, he took a deep breath.
Time bogged down greatly, however only he remained unbound and loose. proper afterwards, Jin-Woo apparently vanished from the spot and, even as the usage of the movement that not even the pinnacle-ranked Hunters should observe, he commenced destroying all the stone statues.
Slice!!
Thud!!
four stone statues fell apart concurrently.
The Hunters who slightly made it out alive way to Jin-Woo’s timely intervention should best look on dazedly as their jaws dropped to the floor.
“Uh….?”
Woo Jin-Cheol eventually made his way subsequent to those Hunters and quietly spoke to them.
“That’s all you may think of, am I proper?”
“….sure.”
Hunters nodded their heads.
“yes, I’m similar to you.”
Woo Jin-Cheol had seen this spectacle some times with the aid of now, however even then, the handiest element coming out of his mouth was a pant of astonishment. He grinned wryly and located a cigarette among his lips. A Hunter from the monitoring department stood subsequent to him.
“leader, will it be okay for us to step back like this?”
“What’s wrong?”
“proper now, Seong Hunter-nim remains attractive the monsters…..”
The Hunter from the tracking department became his head in the direction of Jin-Woo, however even his jaw fell.
“Huh…..?”
Woo Jin-Cheol positioned any other cigarette within the slack mouth of this man and even lit up for his subordinate.
“can you see how ought to we go approximately assisting him?”
“No, sir… i will’t.”
“So, live here and quietly smoke that.”
“Y-sure, sir.”
Hunters gazed at Jin-Woo with eyes of awe but nonetheless, didn’t forget to swarm around Woo Jin-Cheol. And as a end result, his stash of cigarettes ran out in no time.
but, for some motive, his nose started out stinging just a tad.
‘i’m able to’t even take into account how generally I nearly died on this vicinity.’
He concept the ones monsters had been a wall he should in no way conquer, regardless of what he tried. but now, seeing Jin-Woo single-handedly sweeping the ones things away, the feel of comfort and effective emotion of satisfaction had been flooding into his heart.
“phase chief? Are you crying, sir?”
“No, I’m now not, you idiot. It’s just this spicy cigarette. k?”
“right. It’s additionally too spicy for me.”
“Yeah, me too.”
“Me 3.”
maybe this batch of cigarettes tasted far too spicy for them these days in view that teardrops had been actually visible inside the eyes of some of these Hunters.
SLAM-!!
Sohn Ki-Hoon managed to block the punch of the god statue with his shield and gasped out a pained grunt.
“Keo-heok!”
His knees had been bucking hard. with out a Healer round, he had no desire however to take at the effect force all with the aid of himself, however he knew that something extra than this changed into inquiring for too much.
“S-someone…. all people!!”
He painfully became his head to the facet and spotted a quiet accumulating of his fellow Hunters sitting over there.
What the hell.
He became sh*tting blood trying to block the assaults of the god statue all through himself, but why wasn’t all people trying to lend him a helping hand right here??
Sohn Ki-Hoon turned into royally p*ssed off and angrily yelled at them.
“What do you all think you’re doing?!”
whilst he did, the Hunters all pointed above him. Sohn Ki-Hoon interpreted that as them caution him of every other assault, so he flinched substantially and raised his defend up once more.
however, the predicted attack didn’t materialise.
‘……??’
He eventually noticed that the surroundings had end up eerily quiet for a few motive.
‘What’s taking place here?’
He sneakily scanned his surroundings underneath his shield, and finally observed that each one the stone statues inside the place were destroyed.
“What’s this?!”
He were given startled out of his skin and hurriedly reduced the defend. And that allowed him to see what become going on above him. He noticed the sight of the god statue, as tall as a skyscraper, and Jin-Woo status at the d*mn thing’s shoulder.
“Huh….??”
Even before Sohn Ki-Hoon become carried out together with his marvel…
Ka-boom!!
Jin-Woo’s punch blew away the other last 1/2 of the god statue’s face. With its head long past now, the massive statue started unsteadily tottering round.
“….Uh? Ehhh?”
Sohn Ki-Hoon sensed something awry become afoot and ran as if his returned changed into on hearth. And just as his senses had warned him, the god statue crashed down right in which he was standing a 2d in the past.
Kwa-boooom!!
A choking dust cloud kicked up and crammed the whole interior of this location.
“Cough, cough!”
Choi Jong-In coughed out again and again and at the same time as blowing away the dirt from himself, he quickly made his way to Cha Hae-In.
“Hunter Cha.”
“Chairman….?”
“How are you feeling? can you get up?”
She become nevertheless lying on the floor, moaning in pain. She shook her head at his query. now not one part of her body became k proper now. Choi Jong-In’s brows furrowed as he felt fairly helpless at this.
“allow me assist you. try and slowly rise up.”
just as he become looking to help Cha Hae-In, Jin-Woo arrived subsequent to him, having completed off all of the stone statues within the room.
“Will it’s best if I resource Cha Hunter-nim?”
“Pardon me?”
Choi Jong-In shifted his gaze towards the path of that voice. It was then, he concept that for a little bit there, Cha Hae-In was pushing his hand away. He answered in particularly of a daze.
“Oh. Uh, yes. Why not.”
Jin-Woo quick lifted her up in an include. Cha Hae-In’s face reddened right away.
“Please, hold on for a touch at the same time as longer.”
Jin-Woo right away ran over to the go out and kicked the closed door, hard.
growth!!
A locked door such as this best needed an excellent kick from him. The sturdy door that didn’t even need to budge an inch while those excessive-ranking Hunters driven at it got destroyed in an instantaneous.
He cautiously laid her down outdoor the chamber and summoned up his save. Her contemporary situation become significantly horrific. Jin-Woo quickly purchased a superior grade restoration potion and carefully emptied the vial in her mouth.
Gulp, gulp.
Her wounds commenced getting better at a scarcely-plausible price.
“but, how…??”
“Shh.”
Jin-Woo raised his index finger and pressed to his lips. right now became unwell-acceptable to explaining himself, wasn’t it?
Hunters emerged from the chamber one by one. may want to this be called a silver lining inside the sea of misfortune? Their modern look was really wretched, however thankfully, none of them required emergency scientific help.
Jin-Woo closed the shop’s interface.
not knowing the life of the restoration potion, Hunters and their eyes should best pop out in their sockets when Cha Hae-In stood returned up as if nothing was incorrect.
“Huh?? but, Cha Hunter-nim, weren’t you…..?”
“well, I….”
She become about to answer again reflexively, best to sneak a look at Jin-Woo and speedy diverted the communique away.
“This isn’t the proper time to talk about that, so let’s get out of right here first.”
Hunters all agreed together with her.
“Are there any greater survivors?”
She asked Jin-Woo, who possessed the first-class sensory notion most of the institution. He appeared into the interior of the chamber and shook his head.
most effective seventeen remained standing outdoor the chamber. Over 1/2 of who stepped inner had died. Their joy at surviving this encounter only lasted for a short even as and the ecosystem grew gloomy and heavy.
“if so….”
Cha Hae-In became round with a stiff face, however Jin-Woo reached out and held her wrist. She became to face him.
The purpose why the Hunters Guild came right here was secondary. He turned into plenty extra curious approximately some thing else in the interim.
“Excuse me, but… what came about to Japan?”
Jin-Woo had entered here simply before the dungeon spoil of the rank S Gate passed off and so, he was getting legitimately curious of the news coming out of Japan.
Cha Hae-In hesitated slightly, but finally, got here up with a suitable description.
“They were destroyed.”
